In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Yes, Natsuki noticed it too.

Besides suppressing ghosts, Holy Light also has a significant ability: it can greatly suppress physiological impulses. Otherwise, how could he, a man full of vigor, so easily resist the soft and delicate feelings that never ceased once he came to school?

Not to mention, there was also a certain girl with twin ponytails who, whenever she had the chance, would take advantage of her figure to launch a continuous "attack" on Xia Mu.

With the self-control of an ordinary man, he would probably have already completely succumbed to such tempting temptations. The existence of the Holy Light allows him to remain calm in most situations, instead of being controlled by his lower body!

However, this holy light seemed to have little effect on Mizuno. Even Mai-sensei, the allure she felt when she touched him sometimes made Natsuki lose his composure!

Could it be that the Holy Light has lost its effectiveness because it has been exposed to too much of it?

Natsuki stared intently at Mizuno as he thought about it very seriously.

Whoosh!

Mizuno fastened the last button, but the surging curves still revealed a hint of snow-white skin at the collar.

She seemed to have gotten used to it. After casually brushing her hair aside, Mizuno sat down on the stool, her two exquisite legs crossed. It seemed that only Natsuki across from her could appreciate the view at that moment.

"So, Natsuki-sensei, did you come here today because you remembered what I said I would repay?"

"repay?"

Xia Mu was a little confused at first, but when she saw the half-smile on the other person's face, she realized that Mizuno was teasing her. So she simply walked over, pulled up the stool next to her, and sat down casually.

"Miko-sensei, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think! But now that you're here, how was the 'treatment' last time? It should have been effective, right?"

Listening to Natsuki recount what happened last time, Mizuno continued to respond with a beaming smile: "Much better. After I got back that day, I slept really well, and even—"

Seemingly recalling that dream, even the usually uninhibited Mizuno wore a strange expression. Looking at Natsuki's seemingly even more handsome face, she suddenly turned her head away uncomfortably.

"Anyway, I've been sleeping very well every day during this time, and I'm really grateful to Teacher Xia Mu!"

Xia Mu tilted his head, somewhat puzzled as to why Mizuno turned his head away when he said this, but he still smiled with relief.

"That's good. As the most important school doctor in our academy, Mizuno-sensei's health is directly related to the students' well-being. Even I might need Mizuno-sensei sometime, hehe..."

However, after he finished speaking, Mizuno's cheeks visibly turned red, and he even rubbed his thighs intentionally or unintentionally. When he turned his head to look at Natsuki, his gaze even carried a hint of shyness.

She felt as if she had returned to that dream from that day, to that endless, tender, and beautiful dream when she was embracing someone...

"...Mizuno-sensei? Mizuno-sensei? Can you hear me?"

Natsuki's repeated calls brought Mizuno back to her senses from her once vivid dream.

She glanced at the man with a hint of resentment, as if blaming him for his lack of romantic understanding, but then asked, "Excuse me, I was distracted just now, Mr. Xia Mu, could you repeat what you just said?"

Xia Mu seemed oblivious to the other person's strange expression and continued to explain, "I was just asking you if you've encountered anything strange lately."

Mizuno repeated, her red lips parting slightly as she uttered a bewildered question: "Strange things?"

Xia Mu nodded, his expression suddenly turning serious: "For example, something like the ghost that possessed you before..."

While reviewing Z's memories, he unexpectedly discovered that the other party seemed to have some connection with certain ghosts, and among those ghosts, there happened to be a face that Natsuki was quite familiar with, namely the ghost that possessed Mizuno's body at that time.

Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party would experience similar situations again in the coming days.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mu's casual question received a rather surprising answer: "Speaking of which, it seems that I really did run into something last night..."

……

Chapter 65 Saving Xia Mu!

"A woman who is eight feet tall?"

Xia Mu gave a strange look: "Is she wearing aristocratic clothes, and an outrageously large hat?"

Mizuno exclaimed in surprise, "How do you know about Natsuki-sensei? Have you seen that woman too?"

Xia Mu didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't very well say that in his previous world, a similar character had appeared in a certain game, and because of his high "charm," various poses had been developed for him, and he was even a frequent guest in videos in some areas!

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mu replied, "Hmm, I think I know a little about it. I vaguely remember something similar appearing in urban legends. What happened next?"

Since Mizuno appeared here unharmed, it means that the eight-foot-tall lady should—

As expected, things unfolded much as Xia Mu had predicted.

Mizuno raised the red string tied around her wrist, gently rubbing it with her fingers as she smiled and replied:

"That eight-foot-tall woman was scared away when she saw the red string on my hand! To be honest, if it weren't for this thing that Teacher Xia Mu gave me, I probably wouldn't be standing here right now!"

The red rope on her hand, like the clips on Sayuri and Shiroshima, was a [sacred artifact] created by Natsuki through [Holy Light Forging].

Although Mizuno's resonance with the Holy Light is insufficient to activate the Holy Light state, it is sufficient to protect against attacks from ghosts below level 2 as a "talisman"!

Based on Mizuno's description, the fact that she could be scared away by an inactive [Sacred Artifact] meant that Lady Yata's level couldn't be too high, so Natsuki felt relieved.

"That's good."

Xia Mu sighed sincerely.

Unfortunately, the [Sacred Artifact] can only serve this purpose when it is not fully activated. If Xia Mu could take care of that eight-foot-tall lady as well, he would probably be even happier!

Then, as if remembering something, Mizuno revealed a complicated expression: "But when exactly did this world become like this? We never encountered so many strange things before, but now..."

Her concerns were not unfounded.

After all, as an ordinary person, all he wants is an ordinary life. However, the series of events he has encountered have made Mizuno feel a little uneasy.

She couldn't even imagine what would have happened without the item Xia Mu had given her...

As they spoke, a hint of worry appeared on Mizuno's face. Natsuki touched his nose, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"While I am not a savior, as a teacher at Tokyo Academy, I want to do my best to protect the peace of this academy, whether it's the students or people like Mizuno-sensei—"

As Mizuno listened to his words, she seemed drawn to his earnest face and unconsciously moved slowly toward Natsuki.

That subconscious action caused a shocking glimpse of her eroticism to be exposed in an instant, which directly broke Xia Mu's defenses, which she had managed to maintain a serious demeanor!

He had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the windowsill to cover his embarrassment. His somewhat disheveled figure made Mizuno burst out laughing.

Amidst her laughter, Xia Mu seemed to sense the change in her emotions and couldn't help but smile slightly as well.

"...Ms. Natsuki, I'm here to save you!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Natsuki was still a little confused: "Strange, how come I heard that? Sayuri's voice..."

He then looked towards the window and saw a girl with pigtails flying in mid-air, making a flying kick towards him.

The little bear clip on its head was emitting a faint glow, as if it were using a bit of holy light—

"Wait... Sayuri... wait a minute..."

"...I've come to save Teacher Xia Mu! Behold my Holy Light Flying Kick!"

boom! ! !

A dull thud came from the small school clinic. After her initial surprise, Mizuno quickly stood up and looked in a certain direction, only to freeze in shock.

"This is……"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... Wait, I don't feel anything? That's strange! Speaking of which, where's Teacher Natsuki? Why did she disappear?"

Sayuri looked around and then heard moaning sounds coming from below. She looked down instinctively and found herself sitting on a man's lap.

Her skirt swayed like petals, and although she couldn't see the man's expression, the close touch made Sayuri's heart tremble, and she stood up abruptly!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Natsuki, Sayuri was wrong. I really didn't mean to do that..."

As she helped Xia Mu up from the ground, she apologized repeatedly, her mind still replaying the scene from earlier, her cheeks flushed red like never before.

Although she was destined to marry the man in front of her in the future, the thought of their contact just now was just too embarrassing.

"..."

Xia Mu rubbed his neck, looking at the twin-tailed girl in front of him with annoyance. If his physical strength hadn't improved a lot, he would have been killed by the girl's flying kick and cushion attack when he was scared.

"Explain yourself properly. If your reasons don't satisfy me, I think it might be necessary to take back what's on your head!"

Upon hearing this, Sayuri immediately placed her hand on the bear-shaped clip, feigning grievance, and said, "I'm sorry, Natsuki-sensei, I thought you were being chased by those shameless women, so I couldn't help but barge in. I didn't expect..."

In her haste, she had involuntarily used a fraction of the Holy Light's power when she saw Xia Mu, but the problem was—

What student would use holy light to kill their beloved teacher in the academy?!

"Even so, you shouldn't have gone this far..."

Natsuki looked at Sayuri with feigned sternness, but a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes. After all, being cared for was a good thing, but if he could use the right method next time, it might be even better!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Natsuki!"

The girl bowed deeply again, while Natsuki continued his stern reprimand. This sudden change in the scene, witnessed by Mizuno, made her sigh with admiration: "What an enviable teacher-student relationship..."

"There's nothing to envy about it!"

Xia Mu glared at Mizuno with annoyance. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the girl raise her head and open her mouth towards him. Her timid appearance softened his heart.

"Speak, what else is there?"

"actually……"

Sayuri hesitated for a moment, but after looking at Natsuki's face, she still spoke up: "Besides worrying about Natsuki-sensei, Sayuri also wants to..."

……

Chapter 66 The Origin of the "Curse"

Are you inviting relatives?

Walking down the corridor back, Xia Mu muttered to herself, "It's just an invitation to be an audience member, is it really necessary to act like that and make things so easy for people to misunderstand?"

His mind was still stuck on that timid girl from not long ago, which was very different from the chuunibyou girl he remembered. It even attracted a strange look from Mizuno. If he hadn't explained it later, the misunderstanding would have been huge!

Sayuri appeared earlier not only because she was worried that Natsuki would be taken away by another girl (in her own opinion), but also because the weekend's competition was approaching and she wanted to invite Natsuki to watch it.

After all, this was a very important competition for a twin-tailed girl who was still in school, so she naturally took it very seriously!

"I should still go. Since that girl is so looking forward to it, I can't let her down! Sure enough, I can't easily refuse such a sincere request from my student..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered something and a look of relief appeared on his face. Luckily, it was class time; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to relax like this.

"Speaking of which, perhaps I should try to restrain the influence of the Holy Light. The reason it has become like this might be because my control has weakened as the Holy Light has become stronger..."
