I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

They might even be holding an ice-cold watermelon, watching the game while scooping it out with a spoon, slapping their thighs and cheering when the action gets exciting.

Thinking of this, Bai Mujun frowned.

Cunning gods and Buddhas

I want to eat watermelon too!

Chapter Twenty-One: A Man Who Isn't Ruthless Can't Stand Firm

However, watermelons are really expensive in Japan.

They are usually sold by the piece or by the slice, and even a single slice is not cheap.

Before the heavy task of rebuilding the shrine is successfully completed, Shiraki Shun can only dream of such luxurious fruit.

The two then cleaned up the scene.

Shiraki Shun then bid farewell to Hanekawa Arashi and returned to the shrine.

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, I went to school as usual.

Sitting in my seat in the classroom, holding a pen, I stared at the draft paper in front of me, lost in thought.

He gained a lot from last night's exorcism.

Of course, it's not just about money; it's more about insights into exorcism.

The scene of that vicious spirit going berserk last night is still vivid in my mind.

And the reason was just a casual remark made by Hanekawa Arashi.

Just a second ago, he was a weak and vicious spirit.

The next second, however, he turned into a weakling.

Their strength has significantly improved.

why?

It can't possibly have Super Saiyan blood in it, right?

Shiramu Jun was pondering this question at that moment.

This involves the difference between the supernatural and the human body.

What constitutes the supernatural is often resentment, yin energy, and all sorts of inexplicable obscurities, as well as its own magical power.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it ghostly power.

When that malevolent spirit went berserk, it clearly transformed its resentment into its ghostly power through some means.

Therefore, there must exist something within them that can transform resentment into ghostly power.

Could there be a similar location inside the human body that just hasn't been discovered yet?

Thinking of this, Shiramu Jun was greatly encouraged.

Probably!

The human body is amazing.

Especially for Shiraki Shun, who possesses magical powers, his understanding of the human body is deeper, and therefore his feelings are even more profound.

Different mental states do indeed have different effects on the human body.

Just like the male protagonist in anime, he often fights to the very end, and only in a fit of extreme anger does he punch the dog's head off with one punch.

This is not without reason.

It's definitely not because the author ran out of ideas and wanted to use cheat codes.

Having figured this out, Shiraki Shun couldn't muster a smile of sudden enlightenment.

Instead, I felt somewhat distressed.

the reason is simple.

In the years since he traveled through time, he has read many books, but he has never seen any record of this part of his body in any materials.

There may be records, but priests of his rank would not be able to see them.

Completely in the dark.

Despite the difficulties, Shiraki Shun decided to take action and search for it.

Although Shiraki Shun cannot directly see through the human body, or, like in martial arts novels, can introspect, he cannot see his own body.

However, he can also observe the inside of the body through his magic.

Like bats, they use echolocation to locate obstacles.

During the break between classes, he began to circulate his magic power, patiently searching cell by cell.

This is clearly an extremely long process.

Because the human body is an incredibly complex structure.

It has nine major systems, four major tissues, more than two hundred kinds, and hundreds of trillions of cells.

And this place where magic power is enhanced

Nobody knows where it is, not even Shiraki Shun.

After all, it's just something imagined; we can only guess.

If you're lucky, it might be a specific organ, such as a skeletal muscle in your body.

If you're unlucky, it might be hidden in a single base within the nucleus of a cell.

In short, trying to find such a hypothetical object in the human body is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

difficult.

too difficult.

Even Shiraki Shun only found one place before the bell rang for the next class.

This location is three centimeters above the right kidney.

Its shape is extremely delicate, like the eye left by a tiny needle piercing the paper.

From Bai Mujun's perspective, a negligible amount of magical power flowed into it and was contained.

Although it looks small, it gives people a feeling of being very unfathomable.

Now, with just a light touch, his inference can be verified.

But Shiraki Shun hesitated.

Because of its unique location.

This is the kidney, which many people consider the second most important organ, so you have to be extremely careful.

Unlike the appendix, which can be mishandled and simply discarded if damaged, it is not something that can be easily manipulated.

To risk one's kidneys just to verify a point of view is simply insane.

Should we give it a try?

After much deliberation, Shiraki Shun finally steeled himself and decided to give it a try.

If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm.

He separated a wisp of his magical power, carefully propelled it forward, and gently poked it.

At the same time, it manipulates more magic power to surround the entire right kidney.

That way, even if my kidney ruptures—

There might still be a chance to save it.

Fortunately, Shiraki Shun has the powerful healing ability brought by his magic to back him up.

Otherwise, even if he had a thousand times the courage, he would never dare to joke about his own kidneys.

In the instant the magic was activated...

Like an eye connecting to the ocean, a special kind of wave surges out from it.

Under the influence of this fluctuation, the magical power near the kidneys was instantly tinged with a layer of shimmering white holy light.

It worked!

But before Bai Mujun could even feel joy, he saw the holy light-filled magical power plunge into the nearby kidneys.

Then, starting from a small portion at the bottom of the right kidney, the entire kidney gradually began to emit a weak glow.

Shiraki Shun watched this scene in astonishment.

This, this is

Has it been consecrated?

I've only ever heard of consecrating religious artifacts and amulets.

I've never heard of consecrating kidneys before!

Even Bai Mujun, who had been in this world for several years and was used to seeing strange and supernatural things, was somewhat astonished at this moment.

The entire consecration process is not something that can be done overnight.

Instead, it starts from the bottom and proceeds upwards little by little.

Although he didn't feel any discomfort, Shiramu Jun could feel that his kidneys were changing little by little.

At this rate, it would probably take three days to complete the entire process.

Three days later, Bai Mujun will have an "enlightened kidney".

Although he didn't know what effect the kidneys would have after being consecrated, Shiraki Jun felt it shouldn't be a bad thing.

I don't expect it to have any extra talents or skills, but it should at least be much more powerful in terms of functionality, right?

Think about it

I'm quite excited.

Newton once said that it strengthens the kidneys and improves health.
