"I am just daydreaming, I I."

She wanted to say, "I'm leaving now."

But the unwillingness and reluctance in her heart made her words turn into vague sobs.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a terrible headache, and looking at Nohara Anko's appearance, he felt a little distressed and pity. He quickly bent down and gently held Nohara Anko's hand to prevent her from running away in excitement - she had a history of running away.

"Nohara-san, I haven't answered you yet."

He thought carefully and tried to respond with gentle words.

"I received your kindness, Nohara-san. You don't have to be so self-deprecating. In my opinion, you are no worse than other girls."

"You are cute, you are a great cook, you have a good personality, and your grades are among the best in the class. You will have a more wonderful life in the future, you will meet better men, and you will have more choices."

"You have a good impression of me now only because I saved you. That's nothing, Nohara-san. For me, it was just a piece of cake."

"I don't want you to make such an impulsive decision out of gratitude, Nohara. You deserve better. I'm not as good as you think."

The last sentence of Uesugi Kiyoshi was said sincerely - he never thought of himself as a good person, nor did he think of himself as being outstanding. To put it nicely, his character can be described as hardworking and persistent, but to put it bluntly, he can be described as stubborn and stubborn. He rarely changes his decisions because of the opinions of outsiders.

Nohara Anko, who was originally in despair, murmured in a low voice when she heard Uesugi Kiyoshi say this.

"No, no, I'm not impulsive."

"I like Uesugi-kun. Uesugi-kun is a very nice person and very gentle to me. I feel very safe when I follow you."

"When I see you smile, I feel happy and the world becomes a little better."

"I like Uesugi-kun"

Nohara Anzi murmured these words again and again, her eyes no longer serious, but rather pious.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed in his heart but smiled on his face.

"That's right, I understand."

"Nohara-san, we haven't known each other for long. I received your confession, and I need some time to think about it."

"Let's just start by being friends, get to know each other, spend some time together, and then face this issue again, okay?"

"By then, if Nohara-san still insists on his current thoughts, I will give you a response."

"Do you think this is okay?"

Nohara Anko stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi blankly, and seemed to be infected by the somewhat warm smile, and nodded subconsciously.

She silently repeated the word "friend" in her heart, and for some reason, she felt secretly happy as if she had been pardoned.

fair enough.

In this way, can I stay by Uesugi-kun's side for a while and feel at ease?

Seeing Nohara Anko finally nodded, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief. He said that these few words were more tiring than practicing sword for a whole night. Girls are made of water. They can't stop crying!

Anyway, let's just deal with it here first. Nohara Anko's emotions are very unstable and she might be haunted by evil spirits. He doesn't want to provoke her now.

Of course, he didn't intend to be a scumbag who cheated on girls. He also needed to take some time to think about whether he really had feelings for Nohara Anko - seeing her crying so sadly just now, he was actually a little distressed. He didn't know whether it was the natural sympathy of men for women, or whether this little white rabbit had left an indelible shadow in his heart.

If he knew his true feelings and felt that he really liked Nohara Kyoko, then it would be natural for them to date her.

He also mentioned his view on choosing a spouse. Nohara Anko might not be able to help him in his career, but she would definitely be a good wife. Her gentle and weak nature was very likable, and at least Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't dislike her.

Seeing that Nohara Anko's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Uesugi Kiyoshi continued to ask questions.

"Can you tell me now?"

"What strange things have you encountered?"

Nohara Anko sat on the chair awkwardly. She was originally shy about her bold behavior, but after hearing what Uesugi Kiyoshi said, her shyness almost turned into fear.

She looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some horror, and stammered to tell him the strange things that happened last night.

After listening to this, many guesses flashed through Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind, but he could not come to a definite conclusion.

A headless idol? What is that?

Mechanical worship? It sounds like the reaction after being trapped in a ghost realm. Is this some kind of illusion?

Well, it would be difficult for an ordinary evil ghost to do this, and there is no need to do so. If a ghost wants to kill someone, just kill him. Why should he be allowed to worship the statue?

What's even more strange is that according to Nohara Anko, she should not have fallen into the ghost realm, otherwise she would have met with an accident long ago.

That is

Can some evil ghosts appear in the real world?

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was a little solemn. He frowned and suddenly turned to Nohara Anko.

"Just saying this, it's really hard for me to make an accurate judgment."

"Nohara, if you don't mind."

"How about I come to your house and bother you for a while after school today?"

"Just think of it as a visit between friends."

Of course Nohara Kyoko doesn't mind!

With Uesugi Kiyoshi by her side, her fear of her uncle's strange behavior was alleviated a little.

Uesugi-kun will protect me!

Nohara Anko firmly believed this.

Chapter 22 Religion

Uesugi Kiyoshi calmed Nohara Anko down with his gentle words. After her tears stopped, Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed the lunch box in front of her - Nohara Anko hadn't eaten a single bite of food since going to the rooftop, and he was really afraid that this little white rabbit would faint from hunger.

Nohara Anzi was very obedient. Uesugi Kiyoshi asked her to eat something and stuffed juice into her hands. She did not refuse politely, but ate the food reservedly and slowly - she was afraid of showing her ugly eating habits in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was sitting on a chair nearby. Seeing that Nohara Anko's emotions had stabilized, he made up his mind and began to think about the strange things that Nohara Anko had said.

He concluded that the key points of this matter were the "statue of God" and the "great change in temperament".

The reason for the drastic change in temperament is not difficult to guess. For ordinary people, the most difficult ability of a "ghost" is the illusion that confuses people. Nohara Anzi said that his uncle has been in contact with the statue for three months.

Three months is long enough to completely change a person. In other words, if Nohara Anko's uncle has now turned into an evil ghost in human skin, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be surprised.

As for the headless statue.

Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his cell phone and searched the Internet, but as expected, he found nothing.

Japan is a country with a flourishing faith. Here, Buddhism, Christianity and the native Shintoism are three religions that exist side by side and divide the believers across the country.

Religious power is very large in Japan.

The financial groups, political groups, social groups and religious groups, these four groups control more than 99 percent of the wealth of this country.

The foundation is the chaebol, the political group is the political party, the social group is the gang, and the religious group is the various religious forces.

Therefore, almost every household in Japan has shrines and statues of gods. What exactly is worshipped depends on what the family believes in.

Buddhists worship Buddha statues, while Shintoists worship statues of different gods.

But you want to count the gods of Japanese Shintoism.

This is simply an impossible task. Japanese folk legends claim that there are eight million gods. Of course, this eight million is not a real number, but a figurative number. This alone shows how large the number of gods and legends in this country is.

Just now, Uesugi Kiyoshi searched the keyword "headless statue" and found a lot of ghost stories. He took a quick look through them but didn't find anything reliable.

"Kimono, topless, male, headless"

Uesugi Kiyoshi repeated these words in his mind again, sighed, and shook his head.

Forget it, I really can’t think of any clues. I’ll go take a look tonight.

If it were in the past, he might have had some concerns, but now he has two newly acquired Hundred Stories cards as trump cards. Even if he encounters a powerful character, he can confidently deal with a few moves.

Besides, the sword in his hand is not that afraid of those evil spirits.

Even if he took a step back, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing and push Nohara Anko back into the fire pit.

Although the amount of mirage on Nohara Anko's body was not huge, it was real. He felt a little scared when he thought about it now. Nohara Anko was really lucky to be safe and sound now.

After dispelling his doubts and making a decision, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

I will ask for leave from my master tonight and will not go to the temple. I will resolve this matter first.

He is in urgent need of some mirage energy now, and this is a good opportunity!

After Nohara Anko finished her lunch, chewing it slowly and adorably like a hamster, and packed up her lunch box and tablecloth, the two returned to the classroom together and started their afternoon classes.

Haicheng Middle School only has two classes in the afternoon. Time flies by, and at 3:30, after the evening meeting, school is officially over.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was waiting for Nohara Anko at the classroom door, carrying his sword bag and schoolbag. He wanted to accompany Nohara Anko home to deal with the possible evil spirit.

Nohara Anko was still packing her books, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's good friend Kudo Yuichi walked out of the classroom first. When he saw Uesugi Kiyoshi, he greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Qing, who are you waiting for?"

"Are you going to the dojo? There's a car coming to pick me up today. I'll take you to the dojo?"

He knew everything about Uesugi Kiyoshi and knew that he would go to a dojo in Shiba Park after school to practice swordsmanship, so he said that.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head and rejected Kudo Yuichi's kindness.

"Forget it today, thank you. I have something else to do."

"You go first, see you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuichi raised her beautiful eyebrows, carefully looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression, then glanced around the classroom and made a clicking sound.

"You only go to the dojo a few times a year, and your expression is so serious. It seems like something big has happened."

"I saw you and Nohara going to the rooftop this afternoon. When she came back, she looked like she had been crying, but she was in a good mood."

"So, just to speculate a little bit, you guys are dating? Going on a date tonight?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless, but he was already used to his friend's logic.

In a sense, Kudo Yuichi's reasoning is not wrong. Putting aside the "demon slaying" aspect, his visit tonight can even be called "meeting the parents."

"When did you become so gossipy? Stop making blind guesses. We're not even dating yet."

"I need Nohara-san's help with something, so we need to go together after school today."
