Poor magical girls, work for me!

Ryosuke Miyagi tightened his grip on the coffee can slightly, the aluminum can making a soft clicking sound.

Spiritual vigilance... is not as understated as described in the game's instructions.

It may have saved his life, or at least prevented him from being trapped in the wrecked train, injured, delayed, or even embroiled in an unnecessary investigation.

Ryosuke Miyagi looked towards the tunnel entrance.

The station was already flashing glaring red and blue warning lights, and station staff wearing fluorescent vests were running around nervously.

The next second, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, almost crashing into his arms.

"How did you just do that?!"

The girl's voice rang out.

Ryosuke Miyagi was slightly taken aback, his gaze forced away from the tunnel entrance and met a pair of exceptionally bright black pupils.

It was the girl who had been quietly watching him on the tram.

She tilted her head slightly, a simple shrine maiden ornament tucked into her hair, and fine white bangs fell across her forehead. Her cheeks had an unhealthy yet still vibrant light pink hue.

Despite suddenly entering someone else's field of vision, she showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her eyes sparkled.

"Like...a prophet."

Her voice couldn't contain the excitement in her tone.

"And the insignia on the back of your hand—you're a Witcher, aren't you?"

Ryosuke Miyagi began to carefully examine the enthusiastic girl in front of him, who had been staring at him ever since they arrived on the train.

Now they're even directly saying the words "Witcher".

Those who know the words "Witcher" are not ordinary people.

Without making a sound, he hid his right hand behind his back, his palm slightly open, and a stream of jet-black liquid flowed through his fingers... The Witcher's Hunting Manual appeared in Ryosuke Miyagi's hand.

The eyeballs on the cover of the manual popped open!

move!

He locked onto the girl directly through his body.

Information about this girl came to mind.

"Name: Nanatsuji Kirine."

Occupation: Shrine Maiden

"Affiliation: Nanatsuji Shrine."

Level: 2 (1-50)

"Hobbies: Making amulets, brewing genmaicha (brown rice tea), polishing old bells at shrines, and feeding calico cats in front of the shrine."

"Dislikes: noisy tourists, shrine maiden ornaments in my hair being touched, unclean monster smells, and cloyingly sweet Japanese sweets."

"Current Affection Level: 50 (Likes) Note: The demon hunter-like spirituality emanating from you has attracted her. She also possesses the same spiritual qualities, but those qualities only allow her to see vengeful spirits that ordinary people cannot see..."

"Note: A lively girl under a curse (Even though she is cursed, this naturally cheerful girl remains optimistic and positive.)"

After the "Witcher's Hunting Manual" had served its purpose, he immediately put it away.

Nanatsuji Shrine...

This girl is actually a shrine maiden at Nanatsuji Shrine...

Is that such a coincidence?

Ryosuke Miyagi noticed the cursed words in the notes.

Seeing that Ryosuke Miyagi didn't answer, Nanatsuji Kirion wasn't disappointed at all. Instead, she straightened up and spoke more proactively.

"I did a divination by divination this morning."

Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, revealing a pair of small, pointed canine teeth.

"The fortune slip says I will meet a very interesting person, a benefactor who can help me break the curse!"

She paused, then looked up.

"It's obvious that person is you."

The priests and shrine maidens of these shrines also possess extraordinary powers similar to those of magical girls.

Fortune telling: This is a form of divination by drawing lots, including divine divination slips and bamboo slips, and is a core divination method used by shrine maidens.

Before Ryosuke Miyagi could speak, the girl suddenly leaned forward again, her hands behind her back.

The distance suddenly closed.

Their noses almost touched.

Her warm breath gently brushed his cheek, carrying a light, clean fragrance, like the scent of flowers found only in a shrine garden. Her eyes were close at hand, her dark pupils clear, yet concealing a sharp, almost penetrating quality unique to shrine maidens.

"I saw it," she said softly, a hint of smugness in her voice.

"Your purpose—you want to seek help from a shrine. There are no shrines near Sendagaya; the closest one is Nanatsuji Shrine. You were originally planning to go to the shrine's head priest, right?"

Don't stare into her eyes. Nanatsuji Kirion can see into people's vague thoughts through eye contact. This is her shrine maiden ability. Lively and cute, with decent strength, she's a great asset. But she has a fatal flaw—she won't live long.

She ran away to follow divine guidance and find a "benefactor" who could save her. Unfortunately, you are not. But because of her "spiritual vigilance," she mistakenly believes you are.

Congratulations! You've snatched away a young woman who should have had a different life. She doesn't have much time left anyway, so feel free to deceive her as much as you like.

They won't live long.

He paused for a second, staring at Nanatsuji Kirion, who had suddenly moved away with a smile on her face—this innocent and naive girl…

Ryosuke Miyagi stood up irritably, threw the empty coffee can in his hand into the trash can, and the aluminum can landed with a hollow echo.

"I'm sorry," he said bluntly, "you've got the wrong person. I'm not the important person you're waiting for."

He didn't want her to have the wrong hopes because of his abnormality, and in the end, even her remaining time would be wasted, thus ruining the girl's life.

Actually, I can break the curse on her...

? ?

Ryosuke Miyagi abruptly changed the subject, immediately continuing from where he left off.

"But I was just joking."

He looked into the girl's eyes, which lit up instantly, and said in a calm and matter-of-fact tone, "I am the person you are looking for."

No one would look down on a level 2 priestess as an ally!

The girl's smile is captivating, but I was lying to you; I can't solve this.

You bastard!

However, I will provide some useful information.

You're always so reliable!

……

Nanatsuji Kirion's lips curled up, revealing two small, snow-white fangs, and she eagerly stretched out her right hand.

"I am the shrine maiden of Nanatsuji Shrine, my name is Nanatsuji Kirion, and now our pact is made! We will help each other!"

Her voice was clear and crisp, and her face was beaming with an irrepressible smile.

The little girl loves to laugh.

Ryosuke Miyagi grasped it.

The girl's hands were smaller than I imagined, with slender fingers and thin calluses on her palms from long hours of labor, but her skin was smooth and her hands were soft.

"Just call me Ryosuke Miyagi."

"Mr. Miyagi~"

Nanatsuji Kirion tilted her head slightly as she looked at him, her tone natural and affectionate.

"We're friends now, right? A shrine maiden can have many friends, but a true promise is only made with one person. So... can I call you Ryosuke? Just like you can call me Kirion directly."

"Of course, I'll help you get rid of your problems, and you help me fight some monsters."

[Crowned as Queen! In just one hour this morning, you've already tricked another naive and lively shrine maiden, and you even call each other affectionate terms!]

[Reward: Encyclopedia of Girl Lovers (It records how to identify a girl's measurements in one second. Girls aged 18-20 are fatally attractive to you. You read that right, they are attractive to you!!)]

???

With the addition of Nanatsuji Kirion, a level 2 shrine maiden, and the two hired magical girls, the success rate of defeating the Thousand Valley Vengeful Spirit tonight is almost 100%.

After Miyagi Ryosuke finished speaking, he looked at the increasing number of people walking off the railway tracks.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Nanatsuji Kirion.

Three numbers appeared...

90.60.90

hiss……

Wait, why can't I look away after my eyes are looking up?

Damn cheat codes!
