Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Chapter 342 A magic circle without incantations has no soul.

After receiving repeated confirmation from Takanashi Touka, petals suddenly fluttered around her, and the bright red petals, as if they had grown a hand, snatched the folding umbrella from Takanashi Touka's hand.

Although Takanashi Touka was also very reluctant to part with the umbrella, it was the only thing in her car that was related to her father.

As for other belongings, they were either too large or disposed of when the house was sold; for example, clothing and such items were basically not left behind.

Moreover, Takanashi Touka knew nothing about these things beforehand. She couldn't possibly have the heart to let Takanashi Rikka take out that umbrella, could she? If it succeeded, that would be fine, but if it failed, Rikka would really be in despair.

As the older sister, no matter how much she didn't understand Rikka Takanashi's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), she couldn't bear to see Rikka Takanashi sad.

The folding umbrella was rolled up by the petals and brought to the front of the spider lily. Then, several talismans next to the spider lily lit up and quickly disappeared.

At the same time, just as the talisman dissipated, an eight-pointed star slowly appeared in the sea of ​​flowers below the umbrella, and a small tai chi diagram appeared at the six corners of the formation.

Next, four blood-red magatama formed by a sea of ​​flowers appeared in the center of the eight-pointed star, flying in the air like flames and rotating around the umbrella.

"It feels so ordinary." Although the array's effects were dazzling, Dansheng Valley Senxia felt that something was missing.

"...Did you think it would be like in anime where they recite a line?"

As someone who's been through it all, Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew what Nibutani Mori Natsu meant, so he teased, "I didn't expect you to still be so hung up on chuunibyou, Nibutani. Should I say you truly live up to your reputation as the source of all evil, Mori-sama?"

However, he also felt something was off. It wasn't that he felt something was missing, but rather that the formation seemed familiar, somewhat like the summoning formation in the Onmyoji game...

"...Don't call me by that name," said Nishikawa Morika, covering her ears and looking uncomfortable.

"Oh my, I never expected you to be like this, Dansheng Valley!" Raphiel said with a smile.

“Although I don’t like the imposter Mori-sama, I won’t object to her this time. A magic circle without incantations has no soul,” Sanae Dekomori added.

Although Rikka Takanashi was focused on the magic circle and didn't speak because she was worried about whether it would succeed, her slight nod suggested that she agreed with Sanae Dekomori's words.

As someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), she couldn't quite accept using magic circles without chanting incantations; she felt it wasn't very cool.

Just as everyone was discussing, the other side of the spider lily took action again.

After the entire outline of the magic circle was drawn, the spider lily quickly inscribed six talismans with its petals and threw them into the six yin-yang diagrams around the magic circle. Instantly, a ball of blue flame ignited on the yin-yang diagrams. "Winter, get ready to begin."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded. "Let's begin. Kaguya and I are ready."

You can prepare the spider lilies yourself in the early stages, but once the magic circle is activated, you'll need Kaguya's supply.

Furthermore, in order to ensure a more abundant supply of spiritual energy, Tsuchimikado Fuyu activated Kaguya-hime's skill at the same time. The surroundings were encircled by a bamboo forest, but the river phantom that should have appeared at their feet was not visible due to the sea of ​​flowers covering it.

Wow, it's so beautiful.

"Is this Kaguya-hime's skill? So cool!"

“There’s another moon behind Dongjun, but it seems to be an illusion.” Raphiel frowned and touched the moon, finding it unreal, and said somewhat unhappily.

If the moon were real, she'd love to take it down and play with it.

“This is Kaguya-hime’s illusion. Things in an illusion are naturally illusions. How could they be real?” Tsuchimikado Fuyu rolled his eyes at Raphiel and said.

What Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know was that in the future, he would be thoroughly humiliated by the grown-up Princess Kaguya.

"I didn't expect this human to be so capable. Although he himself is weak, his shikigami are all quite good, especially that one shikigami, which gives me a dangerous feeling." Jashin-chan said, staring at Higanbana.

“She has an aura of hell about her, but she’s not a demon. It’s really strange,” Minos nodded and said.

"It must be some kind of monster, right? A monster that came out of hell?" Hanazono Yuri asked curiously.

"Impossible, impossible. Aren't monsters that come out of hell just demons? We know very well how many demon races there are in hell." Evil God-chan waved her hand and said.

"..."

The guiding magic array was activated, and the four petals forming a magatama spun rapidly around the folding umbrella, with a layer of light red ripples spreading outwards, stirring up a sea of ​​flowers like a gentle breeze.

The folding umbrella seemed to be corroded, slowly dissolving. The other shore flower said, "The magic circle can last for ten minutes, and its range can cover the surrounding cities."

As long as your father's soul is still in the human realm and has not been captured, even if he becomes a bound spirit, it will not exceed this range.

If the magic array remains inactive after ten minutes, it means he has either ascended to heaven or been captured.

The two little bird sisters nodded seriously, staring intently at the magic circle. Although they didn't know exactly how to tell if they had found it, that didn't stop them from doing so.

After taking a curious look, the others paid little attention, instead focusing their curiosity on the illusion and the sea of ​​flowers, which were all too novel to them.

However, unlike them, Winette and her three companions, along with Garden Lily, began discussing their next move with Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

If the magic array fails, then they will have to carefully consider whether to search high and low for a situation where someone has been captured, which is virtually impossible, or to secretly go to the invisible boundary line to take a look.

While Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others were discussing, Xiaoyi, Medusa, and Minos stepped out of the illusion and carefully surveyed their surroundings. Of course, Minos and Xiaoyi were the main force, while Medusa was the one who was just going through the motions.

Their task is to prevent ghosts from causing trouble. Although the possibility is very small, the fluctuations of this guiding array can still be sensed by some powerful ghosts.

Although the magic circle doesn't affect them, the real danger is that the other side has a master, which could attract those Onmyoji and cause trouble.

If the other party is easy to talk to, things are fine; but if they are malicious, they might just cause trouble.

They can't just expect the other person to be a good person; it's always good to be prepared.

What they didn't know was that a truly wicked Onmyoji was on his way.

Chapter 343 Mimura Chizuru

My name is Mimura Chizuru, and I am an Onmyoji. I am currently an ordinary member of the organization. The reason I am an ordinary member and not an elite member is not because I am not strong, but because I am not senior enough.

Originally, if I had just completed one more task perfectly, I could have been promoted to the elite team along with Yuji-kun.

But I never expected to fail on a mission that was supposed to be a free reward. Not only did we lose the mission target, but Mr. Yuji also died. If I hadn't run fast, I would have almost lost my life.

Oh, by the way, Yuji-kun's full name is Kuroten Yuji. He was the senior assigned to me after I joined the organization.

I was initially quite unconvinced by this so-called senior, after all, he was just a lucky "commoner" Onmyoji, while I was a member of the Mimura family. Even though the family had declined somewhat, the family tradition was still intact.

So I challenged him, thinking I could win the game perfectly and make him bow down and become my slave.

However, to my utter surprise, even without using my family's inherited shikigami, Kyokotsu Daisho, I was still completely overwhelmed by him.

Although I really wanted to use the Mad Bone General to save face, it would be unwise to expose my trump card for such a small matter. This kind of organization is not a good thing, and I should be careful in everything I do, not to mention that I can't control it for the time being.

Actually, I didn't want to join this organization, but my family looked down on me, and in a fit of anger, I stole the Mad Bone General, which led to my family hunting me down! To save my life, I had no choice.

Alright, let's not dwell on these painful memories. At first, I was indeed dissatisfied with Yuji-kun, but during the subsequent missions, I gradually changed my opinion of him.

Although he is usually quiet and aloof, and extremely loyal to the organization, forbidding me from speaking ill of it, he is a very reliable teammate.

But this reliable guy was killed by the dragon last time, and he died without even a trace. My Mad Bone General was also swallowed by the dragon. If I hadn't used my family's secret technique to escape in time, and if the dragon hadn't seemed to have no intention of killing me, I might have followed in the footsteps of Yuji-kun.

However, in their eyes, I'm probably just a pitiful ant, whose existence or non-existence is just a matter of life and death.

But... do dragons really exist in this world?

After I escaped back to the organization, I explained what had happened in detail, but the organization not only did not believe me, but also mocked me and then threw me into the punishment room.

They actually said I did a bad job and even tried to shirk responsibility?

Huh? Are you kidding me? That's a dragon! Who can beat it? It swallowed everyone, including me, with a single bite. What am I supposed to fight it with?

I don't want to talk about the punishment room anymore; I still can't bear to recall even a single bit of that pain.

Today is my first mission since recovering from my injuries. The organization has also assigned me a new partner named Black Rabbit. Like Yuji-kun, she is an orphan raised by the organization since childhood, but she is much worse than Yuji-kun.

Plus, she's a woman, and we've never gotten along well. I guess that's what they call "same sex repels"!

Our mission this time is to seize a treasure buried in this local shrine, but the secret of this treasure is known only to the shrine maiden of the Garden family.

This kind of task is quite simple. It's just a shrine maiden family that has lost its lineage. Dealing with ordinary people like this, we can get the information out of them with a little trickery.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Just as Mimura Chizuru was reminiscing about the past, the woman's voice next to him suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Hmph! Aren't you prioritizing the organization's mission? Avoid these kinds of things if you can, don't go looking for trouble." Mimura Chizuru said with a cold snort.

Having learned her lesson from last time, Mimura Chizuru has become wiser. As long as the mission is completed, she avoids causing trouble if possible. Otherwise, failing the mission is one thing, but if she encounters another cunning individual, she might even lose her life.

"Tsk, you were scared out of your wits last time, weren't you? Still prioritizing the mission, how disgusting." Black Rabbit gave Mimura Chizuru a disdainful look and said, "There are fluctuations in the magic array here, which means there are Onmyoji or magicians."

This isn't the organization's territory. We need to gather intelligence first, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we offend other organizations during the mission.

"You don't even understand this? No wonder you failed that simple task last time, and even Brother Yuji got killed because of you."

After saying that, Black Rabbit ran towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others.

"I really do hate women." Mimura Chizuru snorted coldly. After hesitating for a moment, she also chose to follow Kurokawa. After all, they were from the same organization. If the other party was alright, she would definitely be punished by the organization when she returned.

However, he didn't chase after her; instead, he fell behind. That way, even if something happened, he could escape in time. He didn't want to lose his life because of this stupid woman.

……

"Watch out, someone's coming! They're moving fast, they can't be ordinary people!" Minos suddenly shouted, looking ahead.

Upon hearing Minos's voice, Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately summoned all the other shikigami. Apart from Kingyo-hime, Yingcao, and Momo-you protecting Dansheng Valley Mori-ka and the others in the middle, the other shikigami all stepped out of the illusion and stood with Minos.

"Three minutes left," said the spider lily.

"Understood." Minos said with a smile, "Looks like I can stretch my muscles a bit today."

"Someone actually came looking for trouble with me. I'll have to give her a taste of my Little Evil God Flying Kick!" Evil God said, warming up.

"I'll help too," Garden Lily suddenly said, pulling out a trident and stepping out of the illusion.

"Where did you pull that out from?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained. It was already too much for Rikka to pull out a folding umbrella from under her skirt, but where did you hide this trident that's two heads taller than you?

Could it be that the bottom of a girl's skirt is really a legendary four-dimensional pocket?

"Then I'll also..." Raphiel said with a smile, "cheer everyone on!"

"Why don't you go ahead and do it?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, rolling his eyes at Raphiel.

"Hehe, isn't it because of you, Dongjun? Do you really want a weak woman like me to go to the battlefield to protect you?" Raphiel asked aggrievedly. "Of course, if you really want to, Dongjun, it's not impossible, but don't you have any pride?"

"...Ha, I don't want it anymore, you can go."

"Dongjun, you've got the wrong script," Raphiel said resentfully. "I never expected you to be such a heartless person, Dongjun."

"Alright, stop acting like a drama queen. Just make sure you protect Rikka and the others. We'll take care of this guy."

Chapter 344 Negotiations Failed

"Damn it, have they spotted me?" Kuroda Kuroto stood five kilometers away, using his shikigami to see a row of figures standing in front of him. He quickly took out his binoculars and saw Minos and the others, cursing under his breath.

Yes, that's right, it's binoculars. My shikigami can only vaguely see figures from this far away, and the only way to see them clearly is through binoculars.

As for the claim that the mystical side disdains using technological items, that's all nonsense. Only rigid magicians would think that way.
