Then I saw Kiritani Kouki kneeling on the tatami in the living room, looking very serious.

And sitting opposite him, the handsome young man with a gentle expression.

At that moment, the young man slowly raised his palm and aimed it at Kiritani Kouki's forehead.

A rich silver light shone in his palm.

In an instant, Zashiki-warashi felt all the blood in his body rush to his brain.

She recognized the handsome young man.

It's that priest!

Didn't they say he only targets monsters?

Why did you take action against Hanghui?

Zashiki-warashi had no idea what to do.

However, her body had already reacted instinctively.

In an instant, it transformed into a streak of red light, its powerful demonic energy shattering the sliding door.

Her red kimono fluttered as she stretched out her arms wide, creating a barrier in front of Kiritani Kouki.

He placed himself under Shiraki Shun's control.

She shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Hanghui, run!"

"Hurry, run now!"

Looking at his mother's retreating figure, Kiritani Kouki was stunned.

He asked doubtfully, "Mom, are you sure you're not mistaken? Big brother isn't a bad person—"

"Stop talking nonsense! Run!" The Zashiki-warashi stared intently at Shiraki Shun's palm.

Across from her, Shiramu Jun withdrew his hand and smiled helplessly.

Then a thought flickered in his mind.

The divine realm blocked the sound, ensuring that Kiritani Kouki could not hear their conversation.

Looking at the wary expression on the Zashiki-warashi's face, Shiraki Shun spoke calmly.

"Lord Zashiki-warashi, you may have misunderstood."

"I only wish to help Hanghui treat his illness."

disease?

What illness?

The zashiki-warashi looked at him with a hint of suspicion and said in a cold voice.

"You're talking nonsense, Hanghui is perfectly healthy."

“It’s psychological trauma,” Bai Mujun said calmly.

"Lord Zashiki-warashi, do you know why Kouki is so afraid of counting?"

The Zashiki-warashi subconsciously shook its head.

Shiramu Jun sighed softly.

"It's because of the numbers."

“When Hanghui was a child, he experienced the death of too many relatives, which caused him to develop a fear of the numbers on the electrocardiogram monitor.”

"He was so terrified because he knew that once that number reached zero, it meant someone was going to leave him."

"This can also be considered a stress response."

Is that why?

The Zashiki-warashi stared blankly at Shiraki Shun.

"How did you know?"

Shiraki Shun smiled slightly.

He didn't tell Zashiki-warashi that he had just summoned the Kiritani family.

"Then, how do you intend to treat Hanghui?" Seeing that Shiraki Shun was not going to reveal any details, Zashiki-warashi continued to ask.

"I will use some means to help them overcome this problem," Bai Mujun said directly.

"However, there might be some side effects, so I just sought Hanghui's opinion."

As he spoke, he removed the divine kingdom, allowing Kiritani Kouki to hear their conversation.

Kiritani Kouki nodded and said loudly.

"Yes! Big brother said that as long as I cooperate, Mom's illness will get better too!"

"Mom, please believe your older brother!"

Upon hearing this, the Zashiki-warashi did not immediately agree.

Instead, he stared into Shiramoto Jun's eyes and asked.

Are the aftereffects you mentioned dangerous?

"It's not dangerous. It won't harm your body, and with a period of recovery, you can recover completely," Bai Mujun said earnestly. "I can guarantee that."

The zashiki-warashi scrutinized Shiraki Shun.

A few seconds later, she slowly turned to the side, making way for Kirigaya Kouki.

Shiraki Shun nodded, then walked up to Kiritani Kouki again.

He slowly raised his hand.

In an instant, a brilliant silver light shone in his palm.

Extremely concentrated magical power gathered in Bai Mujun's palm.

Looking at Kiritani Kouki, who was nervously waiting with his eyes closed, Shiraki Shun smiled slightly.

Witness this move, a palm strike that descends from the head.

Chapter 212 He Mastered Another Skill

Shiraki Shun had also pondered how to treat Kiritani Kouki's psychological problems.

If it were a regular psychologist, they would probably try to heal the emotional trauma through psychotherapy.

Koki Ketsugu's situation is rather special.

This subconscious fear, which began in his childhood, has become an instinct as natural as breathing, accompanying him as he has grown up to this day.

With his enhanced perspective after breaking the boundary, Shiraki Shun could even see the unfathomable chasm in the young boy's heart.

How can such a wound heal?

Even the most skilled psychologists would probably find this extremely perplexing.

The possibility of recovery is extremely slim.

Even if it were possible, it would certainly be an incredibly long process.

It may take several years, or even longer.

Fortunately, Shiraki Shun is not a psychologist, but a priest.

Although he has some knowledge of psychology, he is more skilled in the use of magic.

Looking at Kiritani Kouki's condition, Shiraki Shun could be certain.

Psychological trauma like this

It can be completely healed physically.

Shiraki Shun's palm, already poised to strike, gleamed with an incomparably holy silver light as it aimed at Kirigaya Kouki's head.

Just as he was about to take the picture, the hand suddenly stopped moving and hovered above Kiritani Kouki's head.

Then gently tap downwards.

The brilliant and magnificent light instantly overwhelmed the old-fashioned fluorescent lights on the ceiling, illuminating the entire room like a torrent.

Light streamed through the paper sliding doors, enveloping the entire house and reaching every corner.

Driven by the magic, white orbs of light hidden throughout the Kirito family residence floated out from various corners and gathered around Shiraki Shun.

A faint white light shimmered on the surface of the light cluster.

Although faint, it conveyed a deep sense of longing, as if one could see the warm and everyday scenes inside the ball of light.

These are the wishes and aspirations left behind by the Kiritani family over the years, representing their cherished memories.

It would be perfect as a material for healing emotional wounds.

However, given the long passage of time, the energy of the vows has been severely depleted.

These alone can only fill a small part of the wound in Kouki Udono's heart.

It's still a long way from being fully healed.

So

Shiraki Shun had a sudden thought.

The silver light emanating from the magic instantly changed its target.

It instantly enveloped the Zashiki-warashi.

To the astonishment of the Zashiki-warashi, clusters of bright red light continuously emerged from her body!

These orbs of light were more solid and gentler than the remaining willpower in the Kiritani family home.

This is the embodiment of the "love" that Zashiki-warashi (a type of Japanese house spirit) has for Kouki Kiritani.

The two forces of will naturally merged together, enveloping Kiritani Kouki.

It transforms into the gentlest and most tender care, flowing softly into the depths of Kiritani Kouki's heart.
