The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

"Jinzi, is it alright for you to call me that?"

Xin Hengyuan asked as he walked.

"Y-yes, you can call me whatever you want, senpai," Yotsuya Miko said, clearly still somewhat nervous and not quite recovered from her shyness.

Xin Hengyuan nodded, said nothing more, and took a few more steps forward before speaking to comfort him, "Don't be too nervous, Jianzi, I'm not going to eat you."

Xin Hengyuan changed the subject, his tone full of righteousness, "By the way, could you please use your eyes to see if there are any evil spirits nearby? If there are, please tell me."

Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly, first taking aback, then realizing that her senior must want to nip the danger in the bud so that no one would be harmed by the evil spirit.

Yotsuya Miko's gaze toward Shin Hengyuan was filled with undisguised admiration.

So this is what Onmyoji is.

"I understand, senior. I will try my best to pay attention." Yotsuya Miko nodded solemnly, observing her surroundings with her eyes for the first time.

Normally she was terrified of seeing evil spirits, but today was the first time she had actively sought them out.

"Senior, there's one over there!"

"Where? Where?"

……

Three hours later.

In a small alley.

"call--"

Xin Hengyuan let out a long breath and threw out the fireball he had already prepared. The evil spirit that was tightly grasped by the mage's hand was instantly engulfed by the flames and disappeared into black smoke.

[Defeat the evil spirit, experience +50]

Shin Hengyuan wiped the sweat from his brow, stretched his stiff wrists slightly, and asked Yotsuya Miko, who was standing at the alley entrance, "How many are there?"

Yotsuya Miko quickly flipped through her notebook, looking at the numbers inside. When she looked up at Shin Hengyuan, her gaze was no longer one of worship, but rather one of awe, awe as if it were a god!

Yotsuya Miko said respectfully, "There are already twelve evil spirits in total, you are amazing, senior!"

Three hours, twelve evil spirits, the senior is simply superhuman!

In the past, she would hide for half a day if she encountered one, but her senior swept them up one after another like sweeping up garbage, without even frowning.

[1980/2700]

1980减去出门前的530经验，一共等于1980-530=1450！

These twelve evil spirits contributed a total of 1450 experience points, with each spirit giving a different amount, ranging from a minimum of 50 experience points to a maximum of 200 experience points.

Dealing with these evil spirits is incredibly easy. Even the strongest of these evil spirits can't withstand more than two [Tracer Bullets]. Furthermore, New Hengyuan has discovered that these evil spirits are not only weak to light but also to fire.

Although the new Hengyuan hasn't used lightning-attribute attacks yet, it's highly likely that these evil spirits are also weak to lightning.

With many weaknesses, weak strength, and a lot of experience, isn't this just a walking experience bag?

1450 experience points, which is already equal to the experience he gained from grinding monsters for a whole week before he fell into a coma. Sure enough, bringing a radar makes all the difference in efficiency.

He was already anticipating the terrifying power that would be unleashed when the real evil spirit trap was combined with radar!

Xin Hengyuan downed the newly bought marble soda in one gulp and casually tossed the empty bottle into a roadside recycling bin.

By this time, it was getting late, the setting sun had sunk below the edge of the buildings, the whole street was bathed in the orange afterglow, and the air had a bit of the coolness that evening should have.

"Let's go to my house."

Shin Hengyuan turned his head to look at Yotsuya Miko, who was still holding a notebook beside him. The golden sunlight shone on Shin Hengyuan's profile.

"Qingyue should have finished cooking by now, so we can have dinner together."

Qingyue, also known as Xinheng Qingyue, is the current name of Kuchisake-onna. She can't keep calling herself Kuchisake-onna forever, and Kuchisake-onna can't remember her name from her previous life, so she asked Xinheng Yuan to give her a name.

Shin Heng Yuan chose the character "Qing" (清) because it means clear as water, and also because he hopes she will be like a lotus flower, untainted by the mud. "Yue" (月) is a straightforward choice because Shin Heng Yuan's encounters with the Slit-Mouthed Woman all took place at night, under the moon.

As for the surname, the slit-mouthed woman insisted on taking his surname, Shinheng, and Shinheng Gen had no choice but to agree.

Tomie caused quite a commotion at the time, but she was easily suppressed by Shin Hengyuan and had no way to resist.

Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment, instinctively wanting to say "No need to trouble yourself," but swallowed the words back.

"it is good."

New Hengjia.

"I'm back."

Shin Hengyuan took out his key and opened the door. He took out a pair of slippers from the cabinet in the entryway. He knew that there would be more ghost stories or monsters in his house in the future, so he prepared many pairs.

Xinhengyuan casually handed over a pair of slippers.

"You should wear these," Shin Heng Yuan said.

"Okay." Yotsuya Miko accepted the slippers with both hands and respectfully put them on.

"Shinheng-kun, welcome back. Would you like to take a shower first, or eat first, or perhaps—why did you bring another woman back!"

Tomie ran to the entrance in her slippers, intending to tease Shinji Gen, but when she saw Yotsuya Miko behind Shinji Gen, her gaze went over Shinji Gen's shoulder and locked onto Yotsuya Miko behind him.

Instantly, Tomie's sweet smile froze, and the next second it exploded with a sharp crack.

At this moment, Tomie looked exactly like a furry cat whose territory had been invaded but which was powerless to do anything about it.

Shin Hengyuan, without changing his expression, changed into slippers and stepped aside to shield Yotsuya Miko behind him. "This is Yotsuya Miko, she's kind of my junior. Where's Kiyotsuki?"

"Don't try to change the subject! Shin Hengyuan, explain yourself! Last time it was the Slit-Mouthed Woman and the Jorogumo, what is this? The Two-Mouthed Woman, or the Snow Woman?!"

"Are you going to turn your whole house into a shelter?"

Tomie stood blocking the middle of the corridor, arms crossed, making it clear that no one was allowed to enter until he gave them an explanation.

"Hello..." Yotsuya Miko greeted him cautiously, then shrank back behind Shingen Gen and whispered, "Senpai, perhaps I should come another day..."

"Senior, should I come back later?"

"No need." Shin Hengyuan shook his head and walked straight towards Tomie.

"W-What are you doing?" Tomie stared at him warily.

That familiar feeling of being held back returned; Tomie's hands were once again bound by the [Mage's Hand].

Tomie immediately protested.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xin Hengyuan ignored her protests, cupped her face in his hands, and leaned in close to her.

Tomie was so close that she could count the number of his eyelashes and feel the temperature of his breath.

Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, her voice grew softer and softer, and finally she couldn't help but close her eyes, as strange thoughts began to surface in her mind.

"Bang!"

A crisp, muffled thud echoed throughout the corridor.

Shin Hengyuan's forehead slammed solidly into Tomie's head, the force just right—enough to daze her without hurting her brain.

Yotsuya Miko:......

Tomie clutched her forehead, tears welling in her eyes from the pain, and squatted in the corner, uttering a series of indistinct curses.

Yotsuya Miko stood in the entrance hall, watching this farce unfold, unsure how to react.

"Let's go."

Shin Hengyuan casually rubbed his equally flushed forehead, then took Yotsuya Miko's hand and walked towards the living room.
