Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"I don't know." Kobayashi shrugged, looking like he was watching a show, but it was hard to tell whether he really didn't know or was just pretending.

"Since you said you'd only get it when Xiaodong can control shikigami, shouldn't we use our power to open it?" the three-tailed fox said after thinking for a moment.

“It’s possible. Why don’t you give it a try, Three-Tailed Fox?” Tsuchimikado Fuyu handed the box to Three-Tailed Fox, asking her to try and see if she could open it.

The three-tailed fox first injected some demonic power, but unfortunately there was no reaction. Then it tried to force it open with brute force, but there was still no reaction.

"Does it require Onmyoji magic to open it?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu muttered to himself as he watched this scene. "But I don't know any Onmyoji magic."

When the three-tailed fox realized it couldn't open the box, it handed it to the Yuki-onna and other shikigami, asking them to try it one by one, but unfortunately, none of them responded.

"Cousin, do you really not know how to open it?" Tsuchimikado Tou sighed. Seeing this, he knew he couldn't count on the shikigami, so he looked at Kobayashi.

"I really don't know. Aunt Minako only told me to give it to you, but as for how to open it, I really don't know," Kobayashi said, shaking his head.

"What are you all looking at?" Just then, Thor walked over with the dishes and asked curiously when he saw everyone gathered together.

"Sister Thor, do you have a way to open this box?"

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu saw Thor approaching, his eyes lit up. They couldn't solve the problem, but Thor might have a solution. After all, Thor lived in a much more mysterious place than this one, and his power system was far superior.

"Let me see." Thor placed the plate on the table, took the box, and examined it carefully.

“That’s a bit strange.” Thor held the box in one hand and placed the other hand on top of it.

A purple magic circle appeared below Thor's right hand. He pointed it at the box and after half a minute, Thor said, "There's a contract here. You can't force it. Xiao Dong, you try it with your first blood."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu really wanted to complain about this method of opening the box only by dripping blood, which made it seem like a fantasy novel.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu ultimately didn't voice his complaints, because the blood droplets were useless.

"Huh? Normally, you can open it by dripping blood!" Thor said in confusion.

"Thor, what do you mean by 'generally'?" Upon hearing Thor's words, Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately felt that Thor might be unreliable and quickly asked.

“In our world, many traditional items require blood to be applied before they can be used.”

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. I knew it. How could the common sense of your world be used in this world?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed, took the box, and said, "I'll think of something else!"

"Why don't you try channeling your power into Xiaodong?" Thor suggested again.

"Power? If I had it, I would have tried it already," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said helplessly.

In the end, after studying it for a long time, they still couldn't open the box. Although Thor could use force, he was afraid of damaging what was inside, so he didn't try that method.

During lunch, Kobayashi had a few drinks, and once drunk, she became like a different person, pulling Tohru aside and criticizing her for being such an incompetent maid.

After criticizing Tohru, they didn't let up on Yuki-onna and the others, dragging them around and asking if they wanted to wear maid outfits.

After making a fuss, Kobayashi fell asleep, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't stay long either, leaving Kobayashi's house with the box.

Anyway, with Tohru taking care of Kobayashi, nothing will happen to him.

Ah! It's so nice to have a maid who can take care of you!

……

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, but it wasn't very hot.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu actually felt a slight chill.

Since the weather was nice, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't go home immediately. Instead, he strolled along the road, looking for things he wanted to buy and perhaps even finding the fourth mission.

One thing Tsuchimikado Fuyu really wants to complain about about the Bounty Seal is that it only issues the mission, but cannot locate the location of the talisman.

If the talisman refreshes weekly and it can locate the talisman's position, it will save me a lot of trouble.

"Speaking of which, I want to tell you something really amazing." At that moment, a girl's voice came from the front, immediately piquing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's curiosity.

There were three girls in front of me. Judging from their school uniforms, they must be students from the girls' high school nearby.

“People who say that usually talk about really boring things,” said another orange-haired girl next to her.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded. That made sense. Just like every time Satania said she had some powerful gadgets that could deal with Gabriel, they were mostly counterfeit or substandard products. Even if they were actually useful, they weren't powerful at all.

"No, this is really amazing." The girl with short black hair took a few steps forward, stopped the other two girls, and emphasized, "To tell you how amazing it is, it's like a chimpanzee picking up a banana..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point," the orange-haired girl said impatiently.

The girl in black immediately looked dejected and said, "I mean, we've reached the pinnacle of our lives, haven't we?"

The two girls in front of her immediately stopped and stared intently at the girl with black hair.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu, listening from behind, was speechless. The pinnacle of life? Kid, you're dreaming.

You don't look like a rich heiress, yet you dare to say you're at the peak of your life?

Even if you reach the pinnacle of your life, you'll find that there are still many unknown things in this world, like angels! Like demons! Like dragons! Like monsters...

If you haven't even seen these things, how can you claim this is the pinnacle of your life?

Sigh! According to this logic, am I already at the pinnacle of my life?

Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook his head and gave a bitter smile. This was hardly the pinnacle of his life! He was so poor he was practically eating dirt.

Chapter Thirty-One: Have the guts to do that kind of thing

"Okay? Show some more interest!" The black-haired girl continued when she saw that the two of them didn't react.

The two girls walked past the black-haired girl without prior arrangement and left on their own.

The black-haired girl wasn't angry and continued chasing after him:

"Objectively speaking, the rest of us are below average in appearance and have terrible personalities. Even with praise, we wouldn't be considered popular! Our only weapon is that we have no other qualities that make us popular..."

That's right, it's youth!

So now is the only time left! Having high school girls as our greatest weapon is now, and if we don't work hard now, we'll never find a boyfriend in the future!

How about that? Shocking, isn't it? It really makes you feel a sense of crisis!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who was listening from behind, was also shocked. This person... is amazing. She actually has the courage to admit her own shortcomings and is also good at discovering her strengths. She must be an extraordinary woman.

"Impressive," the orange-haired girl said, "You're seriously out of your mind!"

The black-haired girl was taken aback by the comment, turned to the long-haired blue girl beside her, and asked, "What does the robot think?"

"I think it's amazing."

"Oh~"

"I think you're really impressive that you optimistically consider yourself to be below average."

After saying that, the girl with long black hair and the girl with orange hair continued walking forward, while the girl with short black hair stood there blankly, as if she had been hit hard.

As Tsuchimikado Fuyu passed by her, he noticed her turning to look at him and quickly quickened his pace.

Although this girl seems very capable... I don't want to get involved with someone like that, not even if I've only met her a few times.

There are already enough troubled girls around me; I don't need any more.

……

Soon, Tsuchimikado Fuyu returned to his apartment.

As soon as I reached the third floor, I saw that Gabriel's room door was lying on the ground, and there was a hole in the balcony. Cement blocks and sawdust were scattered all over the floor.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was greatly alarmed and quickly ran over to check.

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu disliked this useless angel, he couldn't possibly stay out of it after seeing this scene.

"Gabriel, are you alright?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu called out into the room.

However, the room was dark, and no one answered.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, so close it seemed to be right beneath one's feet.

Wait... what's under my feet?

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked down, he saw a hand trembling as it reached out, which startled him so much that he quickly dodged away.

Sliding the door open, Satania appeared before Tsuchimikado Fuyu. Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. He walked over, patted Satania's arm, and asked, "Satania, are you alright?"

Satania's limbs twitched for a while, then she stopped responding.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed. It didn't seem right to just leave her here, but if he took her home... wouldn't people misunderstand and think he was committing a crime if they saw him?

After much internal struggle, Tsuchimikado Fuyu finally succumbed to his conscience, sighed, and picked Satania up from the ground.

"Oh, so you finally couldn't resist making a move on a little girl? I knew I should remind Rikka to stay away from you!"

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked toward the sound and saw a tall, mature woman holding a phone and taking pictures of him.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu had a black line on his face, thinking to himself, "You came just in time!"

Of course, I could never say that out loud, otherwise I would really be misunderstood.

"Sister Toka, please find out the truth before you mock me!" Tsuchimikado Tou said speechlessly.

"Didn't you take a fancy to this girl, knock her out with a stick, and bring her back? The evidence is right here. Don't you think I should call the police now?"

"Did you travel from the primitive society? And you knocked him out with a stick? I was saving him!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"Keep making it up."

Screw you!

Oh, no, there's something wrong with that statement.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed and said, "I just got home and found Gabriel's room door lying on the ground. I thought something had happened to Gabriel, so I went over to check."

They found Satania lying under the door, unharmed, and when they called her, she didn't wake up, so they decided to…

"So you plan to take it back, lock it in the house, and do whatever you want with it?"

"Lock my ass! No, lock my ass! Besides, even if I wanted to do whatever I wanted, I wouldn't hire such an idiot! I have absolutely no interest in him!"

"Pah, pah, pah! You've completely steered the conversation off-topic. Please let me finish, okay? So I'm planning to take her back and we'll talk about it when she wakes up."

"Let me put you at my house. I don't trust you with this." Takanashi Touka said calmly, "Boys your age always lose control of their lower bodies and do things they'll regret for the rest of their lives. If you stay at my house, even if you want to do something, I can knock you out."

Ugh! You still don't trust me with my temper? You want to knock me out? Believe me or not, I'll have the Three-Tailed Fox knock you out, take you home, lock you in the house, and do whatever I want with you!

After making his rant, Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a dark face, "Perfect, I don't want to deal with this idiot anyway. Let her wake up and call me. I want to ask her what happened."

When they arrived at Takanashi Touka's house, Takanashi Rikka wasn't home. Takanashi Touka explained that Rikka had gone to play with her Servant. Takanashi Touka, who was off work that day, had just gone to buy groceries to prepare dinner when she stumbled upon this scene.
