Ivia was very curious about the foul air that could cause double judgments.
"Or any strange behavior?"
"No, our Takashi has always been very well behaved. He would even tell us in advance if he wanted to go out to play. As for being strange, this child has always been strange, but he is a kind and good child."
The middle-aged woman wiped the tears from her eyes and replied to Ivia.
Takashi? Aivia felt the name sounded familiar.
"I haven't asked you two what your names are yet?"
"My name is Fujiwara Shige, and this is my wife Fujiwara Toko. This child is a distant relative's child. Because his parents died, we adopted him. His name is Fuyuki Takashi."
The middle-aged man introduced himself in a very polite manner, and Tazi nodded in agreement.
Aivia's heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong with the world.
"Can you take me to your house?"
Ivia asked, if they could find the Book of Friends, then their identity would be basically confirmed, but they still had to be careful now.
"No!" The old man who had just been pretending suddenly interrupted, "It's dangerous to run around so late at night. By the way, I haven't seen you two before. How did you know about our shrine?"
"The bookstore owner told us! He's the owner of Gokukyo-do down the mountain. He said that the shrine maiden Avia at the Higurashi Shrine up there is very good at dealing with demons, so he directed us here."
Tazi pointed in a direction and answered.
"Oh, so it was Boss Xia Yan who asked you to come. He almost treated you as suspicious people. Ivia, you might as well go and investigate. When you come back, thank Boss Xia Yan of Xiajijingtang!" The old man's attitude changed quickly.
Old man, your thoughts are too obvious. I knew it from what I heard about Ji Jingtang Aivia. Just now, the old man tried to introduce a blind date to Aivia.
If it weren't for the ominous aura surrounding the couple's names and Takashi's head, Ivia would have suspected that they were a conspiracy and acting out a show.
It was getting late, and in order to prevent the old man from continuing with small talk and bragging, Ivia took the initiative to pick up Fuyuki Takashi and signaled that they should go to their house now.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, Shouyi's sleeve was grabbed. Aiweiya thought that the old man was going to give some advice on blind dates, but unexpectedly he showed a bright smile:
"The cost of exorcism is 2000 yuan!"
Fujiwara Shigeru finally reacted and took out two bills from his wallet. He handed them to the old man respectfully with both hands, clasped his hands together and bowed again: "Thank you very much."
……
Walking down the stairs, Fujiwara Shigeru extended his hands to Ivia:
"It's still quite heavy, I'll carry him."
"It's okay. I grew up in the mountains and I'm pretty strong. Besides, I like this kid very much."
As she spoke, Ivia lifted Fuyuki Takashi higher and rocked him lightly.
The complete form of Ivia didn't care about this weight at all. What made her concerned was that the black gas no longer came out of Fuyuki Takashi's mouth and nose, but there was still an unknown breath constantly exhaled with his breathing.
It just didn't trigger the prompt and no one else could see it.
To Ivia's surprise, the Fujiwara family's home was not far from the shrine. It took about fifteen minutes to walk down the mountain to get there. It was a traditional small villa, which is called a single-family house in Japanese, and it was a standard configuration.
Generally speaking, small shrines like Higurashi Shrine are not well known to outsiders, but the residents in the surrounding area should be familiar with them.
"You live so close, but you've never been to the shrine?" Ivia always asked directly when she had questions.
"Ah, I just moved in recently and haven't finished putting in the furniture yet. I only found out about this shrine while chatting with my neighbors, so I haven't had time to visit yet. Please forgive me."
Tazi responded very appropriately.
"You specifically asked to come to our house to check it out, is it because there's something wrong with Takashi?"
"Almost, but not sure yet. I have to see it first."
Until now, it is still not certain whether this family is the one she knows, and Ivia cannot guarantee it.
"If there is anything wrong, please solve it. We will pay for the exorcism fee." Fujiwara Shige said sincerely.
"No, no, I'm not sure if there's a problem yet. If there is, I'll definitely fix it. Just think of it as after-sales service!"
Aiweiya awkwardly changed the subject:
"Where is the child's room? Show me."
"Please come this way, it's on the second floor!" Tazi walked in front and went up the stairs.
The large room with windows next to the corridor on the second floor is slightly larger than the master bedroom downstairs.
Ivia opened the compartment door and put Natsume on the bed. Without even looking carefully, a ball of black gas appeared clearly in the corner of the wall.
Ivia squatted down and touched it, and there were continuous prompts for judgment, and then the judgment was passed. This should be the source of the black air on Natsume's head.
Ivia tapped on the wall and heard a hollow sound. After fumbling for a few times, she opened the secret compartment.
Tazi was surprised by Ivia's actions. From her perspective, after putting Natsume down, Ivia went straight to the corner of the wall, then took out a secret compartment and took out a booklet, as if she had known there was something there.
Ivia gently brushed away the black air on the booklet. It was not the friend book that Ivia had imagined. It was a blank booklet and a special prop.
To prevent mistakes, Ivia raised the booklet in her hand, shook it, and asked Tazi:
"What is this, in your eyes?"
"What do you mean by in my eyes? Oh, a pamphlet, is it something troublesome?"
Tazi hugged her elbows a little scared.
"Are there any words on it?" Ivia confirmed again worriedly.
"No, it's blank."
"How about this?" Ivia opened the booklet and read it in front of Tazi. In Ivia's eyes, it was blank.
"No, it's just a blank booklet, a little old." Seeing that Ivia was safe and sound, Tazi felt relieved and described what she saw.
"This is the reason why Takashi Fuyuki fell ill. Can I take it away now?" Ivia asked Tazi.
"Well, I don't know if this belongs to Natsume. When he wakes up, I will tell him that you took it away, okay?" Tazi hesitated.
"Okay, I live in a shrine not far away. If Natsume has any questions when he wakes up, you can come to me." After saying that, Ivia turned around and said goodbye.
"Why don't you sit down and rest for a while and have some tea?" Tazi suggested politely.
"No, I have to go back and deal with this!" Ivia raised the blank booklet in her hand again.
This time, Tazi didn't say anything. He just walked Aivia to the door and said, "Have a nice journey."
Chapter 293 Returning the Name
Ivia looked serious as she walked back. This booklet was a very useful prop.
Blank roster (names can be changed)
Origin: Demon Xijing
Quality: Legend
Category: Contract/Oath
Equipment requirements: none
Equipment effect: The equipped unit can request signatures from other units. Once the requested unit actively signs and records, it is deemed to have signed a master-slave contract. The unit does not occupy the equipment owner's summoning position. When this item is damaged, the signing target dies.
(Note: The contract signing carrier is the equipment itself and is not affected by the equipment holder's attributes.)
Current number of signatures available: 0/108
Equipment rating: 530+
Introduction: Is this a friend? Or a slave?
Price: Untradeable
……
This is a very powerful piece of equipment. The 108 summoning slots that do not occupy the summoning slot alone are already an incredible attribute.
In addition, since it is not affected by the contractor's master and does not require any equipment, it can be said that novices are almost invincible in the early stages of getting this item.
Ivia has always been aware of her luck. She never dropped her equipment even when she defeated the boss, but now she got such a powerful item through a random event, without even fighting. This made Ivia even more confused.
Either someone was secretly helping, or this kind of thing was not considered lucky at all in this world.
The former is almost impossible. Even the goddess of luck shakes her head at Ivia's luck, and she came to this world just to investigate the situation.
The latter is troublesome. If this kind of thing is not considered lucky, then there is something wrong with this world.
It is better to eliminate all abnormal clues first. Ji Jingtang has appeared in my ears repeatedly, so it is necessary to go and take a look.
Although it was late, there were still pedestrians walking outside. Some people even knew Ivia's original identity. When they heard that Ivia was looking for the boss of Jijingtang, they clearly stated that the boss was at home and they had seen him when they just came.
This saved Aivia the time of turning around to ask for the address. She followed the direction the passerby came from and finally saw the plaque of Jijingtang on an uphill place.
Although it is called a bookstore, it might be better to call it a cafe. Compared with the traditional buildings on this street, this Western-style store is extremely conspicuous.
There are large floor-to-ceiling windows on the storefront, and the main door is also made of glass. The room is dimly lit, and the sound of an unknown violin can be heard coming from the store. There are several sets of rattan tables and chairs in the store.
As for the books in the bookstore itself, I didn't see many. I could just barely see the shadows of the bookshelves in the dim light of the warm color.
In contrast to this quiet and peaceful atmosphere is the fat man sitting at the gate on the street.
His fat body was sitting on a tiny stool, he was wearing a loose white vest on his upper body that did not cover his fat at all, he was wearing light-colored beach pants on his lower body, flip-flops on his feet, and he was eating a bowl of noodles in his hand with relish.
When he saw Ivia coming, he raised his chopsticks and waved while chewing noodles.
The fat man's black hair was naturally curled and tightly attached to his scalp, like snails.
"Snail head!" Ivia blurted out. It was so similar that Ivia forgot about being polite and shouted it out directly.
"Please call me by my name, Jijing Xia Yan, or you can call me Boss Xia Yan."
The fat snail-head had a business smile on his face, and his squinting eyes were invisible because of the pile of fat.
Aiweiya wanted to apologize, but then she remembered that he and the old man were matchmaking for her, so she pretended to be stupid and said:
"Okay, snail head. Got it, snail head."
Aivia said this while making an OK sign with her hand.
"If you don't want to call me by my name, you can just call me boss. Also, my hair is naturally curly!"
The fat man still said with a forced smile.
