Start the Raiders from Baiyingui

Ishigami Yu smelled it himself, and perhaps because of his vampire constitution, there was no pungent smell.

I don't find it annoying to smell, but I can't say it's "very attractive" either.

Although I thought it might be due to hormones or something else, in order to seek the truth, I decided to go back and let my two sisters try it.

"arrive."

We reached the top of the mountain peacefully.

Ishigami Yu squatted down and put down Iwanaga Kotoko, who seemed reluctant to leave.

The ownerless shrine we talked about first was basically in a state of ruins. Iwanaga Kotoko did not dare to enter the dangerous building, so she just pasted the talisman at a random place.

"This is……"

Ishigami Yu's sharp eyesight discovered something unusual under a big tree next to the shrine.

There were traces of blood on the thick brown tree roots, and a snake that had been dead for a long time was nailed to the roots.

It was brutally cut into five pieces.

To put it in a more playful way, it is "five equal parts of snake sauce."

"Did Nadeshiko do that?"

Holding his breath, Ishigami Yu walked forward and gently wiped the bloodstains on the tree roots with his fingers, and smelled the scent using the method he was taught in junior high school.

Although a day had passed, the remaining breath in the coagulated blood still allowed Ishigami Yu to successfully capture it.

It is 70% similar to the smell in Sengoku Nadeshiko's waist bag.

Taking into account factors such as spoilage and decay, it is almost certain that she did it.

After putting up the talisman, Iwanaga Kotoko also came over. Seeing Ishigami Yu's expression, she probably understood everything.

"What a coincidence! No wonder the snake-cutting rope by an amateur would be effective and quickly spread to the neck. Doing this next to an ownerless shrine, and the shrine's previous owner happened to be a snake god, is much more outrageous than wielding a sword in front of Guan Gong."

"She must have done this after reading that book and learned the wrong way to break the curse." Ishigami Yu still wanted to defend Sengoku Nadeshiko.

Iwanaga Kotoko, however, was somewhat disapproving.

"Let's put aside the reasons and just analyze the results. This kind of scene is not something that a shy, introverted, crybaby kid like you described on the phone yesterday would do."

The snake head nailed to the tree trunk had gray eyes and an open mouth as if it wanted to choose someone to bite.

"That was a snake, not some cat or dog that is often tortured by sadists in news reports. It is better to say that most sadists only take cats and dogs that look easy to bully as their targets for venting their anger, and will not pay attention to snakes at all. In a way, that girl is a very powerful person."

"First, Nadeshiko didn't cut the snake into five pieces to vent her anger. Second, when life is threatened, it's not surprising to do anything. In addition, legally speaking, there is the concept of emergency avoidance, so cutting the snake into five equal parts will not be sued by the animal association."

"We are not discussing whether killing a snake is right or wrong. We are discussing Sengoku Nadeshiko. Why didn't she ask her parents for help? Wouldn't it be better to let adults do things like catching snakes?"

“……” Ishigami Yu was silent.

Or in other words, convinced.

From a very young age, he felt that Sengoku Nadeshiko might have a dark side to her.

Cute, shy and well-behaved.

These are the impressions imposed on her by outsiders.

Sengoku Nadeshiko's personality is not like that.

Perhaps she could have been a lively, cheerful, graceful, strong and brave girl.

But in order to cater to the expectations of others, she suppressed her true nature.

It was fine when he was a child, but during those years when Ishigami Yu was unaware, the accumulated repression caused his nature to begin to distort, like... a snake nailed to the roots of a tree.

"Yu, I don't know what kind of feelings you have for that girl, but I suggest you have less contact with her."

Iwanaga Kotoko suggested seriously, and her sincere eyes showed that she was not trying to suppress a possible rival.

Ishigami Yu stood up and smiled freely.

"Don't worry. If she goes astray one day, I will bring her back, even if I have to use force. After all, she still calls me 'Brother You', so I can't just sit there and watch."

"Oh my, I really can't do anything about you. I just hope you don't have to clean your butt when the time comes."

"How is it possible? Nadeshiko is just an ordinary girl. Is she going to transform and turn me into ashes in one move?"

After going down the mountain and sending Iwanaga Kotoko to the car, Ishigami Yu had completed everything she asked him to do.

This is the remuneration mentioned earlier.

I have been with her for so long, it would not be good to continue to cling to her, after all, we are still separated now.

"Fuck me, fuck me—"

The sound of cicadas is still annoying...

Chapter 19: The Evolution of Zayuya (foreshadowed in Chapters 39 and )

"Sister Miko, long time no see~"

In the dojo with a "Flow" sign.

Iino Miko, who was wearing a white training robe, saw Huo Lian coming over to greet her and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Long time no see, Karen-chan."

"Sister Yako, you haven't been to the dojo for a long time. Is there anything special today?"

"Nothing special, I just want to ask if you guys are going to attend the fireworks display the day after tomorrow?"

"you."

Yuehu instantly understood what Iino Miko meant.

What we actually want to ask is whether Onii-chan will participate?

Oh my, it's still hard for Sister Miko to be frank at a time like this~

He even kept the fact that he was training in the dojo a secret from his brother and no one knew why.

"Sister Miko, how about I answer this question after we have a fight? To be honest, I have never had an opponent and now I am a little eager to make a move."

"Well, that's enough."

Just as Iino Miko was ready to fight, an old woman with a stern face stopped them.

"Stop! You two are fighting here. Do you want to tear down this house?"

"Master."×2

The two of them hurried over and bowed.

"At least the fight didn't happen indoors..." The old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

One is a warrior who has broken through the limits of human beings by relying on his own efforts and physical fitness, and the other is a peerless genius who has practiced the "Flow Secret Book" he made up to fool his apprentices but has mastered it in an extremely unreasonable way.

It was like the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick had taken root together in this small gym that had no reputation or strength.

?

That was when Daibutsu Koba confessed his love to Ishigami Yuu in junior high school and the two had just started dating.

Feeling depressed, Iino Miko came to this martial arts arena which is said to calm the mind and inspire spiritual power.

“When entering this door, one should abandon distracting thoughts and devote oneself to the Tao, so as to stimulate the power within.”

When the old woman said this in her first class, the studious Iino Miko raised her hand and asked, "Master, what should I do if I can't calm down?"

"There are always ways to calm down. You will know if you try them one by one." The old woman said casually.

"Will the tuition be refunded if you can't calm down?" Iino Miko continued to ask.

"Wait a mininute."

The old woman's originally hunched body immediately straightened up a lot, she walked away quickly, and returned to the dojo in less than ten seconds.

Holding scriptures, brushes and rice paper in his hands.

"First, copy some Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist teachings are profound and will surely calm your mind."

I used this method before when I was a tutor at Shijo Family, and all the students who tried it said it worked.

Are you kidding? Once the money is in your pocket, how can you give it back?

Half an hour later...

"Master, I have copied the Buddhist scriptures word for word several times, and I can even recite them by heart, but I still can't calm down."

“Can you really carry it?”

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..." Iino Miko began to recite with an expressionless face.

Old woman: "..."

Not a single word was missed! How did you remember something so difficult to pronounce——

"I can't calm down. Even if I chant the names of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in my mind, I still can't calm down. Master, don't think you can deceive me just because I'm old. My father is a judge in the procuratorate. Consumer fraud is absolutely intolerable."

"...How, how could I possibly deceive you? I use the methods passed down from my ancestors, and I operate with integrity... Well, since copying Buddhist scriptures, the most basic behavior, can't satisfy you, then let's start with the more advanced courses."

The old woman motioned for her to follow.

Opened the door and walked to the back mountain.

A waterfall of moderate size rushed down from the cliff.

"It's a sunny summer day, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold. Just sit quietly under the waterfall and you'll be able to calm your mind."

Half an hour later...

"I can't be quiet, I can't be quiet no matter what—"

Seeing the cute girl not far away suddenly open her bloodshot eyes, the old woman was so scared that she took half a step back.

"Whenever I close my eyes, I will think of the good times I had. I finally have a good friend who can always be by my side, and I finally have a boy I really like, but why..."
