In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

[When I arrived, the water ghost had already been killed. Judging from the traces at the scene, he was killed with a single blow, a fist.]

"Of the female monsters still in Tokyo who could do this, the only one I can think of is Rongrong's sister. Ouyang, we need to speed up our search for her. While this water ghost deserves death, it's hard to say if this is just the beginning of her troubles."

Unlike the funny photos, the text sent by Qinzi was very neat and serious, forming a big contrast with the cute girl in the photo.

[Be careful! She's very powerful, and the monsters around you might not be able to handle her. If you encounter her, notify me immediately.] After typing this line, Ouyang Xuan felt it wasn't enough, so he added, [The photo is very cute.]

Ouyang Sun is chatting with Qinzi here, and the girls on the other side are also chatting

"You don't get paid for doing such a dangerous job!?" Hai Meng asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Takina nodded, feeling it was normal. "DC raised us. Although we get some living expenses regularly, there's no such thing as a salary."

"So, if Lycoris is a company, it's a truly ruthless one!" Qianshu said indignantly. "Not only are they not paying me, but they're even refusing to pay me the reasonable requests and funding I've made. They're truly ruthless."

"How could your request for social security for all Lycoris be accepted?" Takina said speechlessly. "We Lycoris don't even have household registration, and Lycoris will also provide for our livelihoods in the future. What's the point of buying something like that?"

"Later~~"

When saying this, Qianshu's eyes couldn't help but look towards Yamashita who was still hanging in the air. His eyes were dull and wooden, but his mouth kept repeating "curry curry".

I may still have a future, but there is no future down there.

"Mr. Yamashita's death was so unclear, his wife must be very sad."

"Madam? What madam?" Rui Xi asked curiously, "Yamashita isn't married, so where does the madam come from?"

"Eh? Didn't Yamashita show us a photo of him and a super beautiful lady before? He told us that it was his wife." Qianshu said in surprise.

"Oh." Ruixi remembered that there was indeed such a thing. "That was an idol from the early Heisei period. He was Yamashita's favorite when he was young. The otaku just called his favorite his wife."

"Why is this happening~~" Qian Shu collapsed on the table. This wasn't because she was acting like a spoiled child or anything, but because the toxins were still in her body and hadn't been completely eliminated, so she felt a little tired.

After finishing the chat with Qinzi, Ouyang Xuan, who had reserved a bed for tomorrow, came over.

"Let me see your hands."

"Hey~~"

With her cheek pressed against the table, her soft face was deformed. Qianzhu just spoke weakly and then raised her arms.

“It hurts, it hurts!!”

Ouyang Xuan's hand rudely covered Qian Shu's arm that was wrapped in bandages. His magic power seeped into it a little, and the severe pain made Qian Shu jump up from the table.

"The poison has been completely removed." Ouyang Falcon nodded and released Qian Shu's arm. "Next time you encounter this kind of monster, even if you can't escape immediately, don't rush in. Even if it's just a newly-formed water ghost, its strength is enough to cut through a piece of alloy."

"I don't know." Qianshu muttered.

After the bandage was removed, the five scars on the arm had disappeared, and the skin where Ouyang Xuan's ointment had been applied had grown back and looked even whiter and more tender.

Jingle bell~~

Mika placed a plate of curry at the serving port. After an hour of preparation, the curry that even Yamashita, who had become a water ghost, could not forget was ready.

"Is this the curry we had for dinner?" Ruizi, a girl full of femininity, recognized it immediately.

"Yeah," Takina said, "Ever since Mr. Yamashita's mother gave the recipe to the store manager, the manager has been making it as a staff meal. Although it's not sold to the public, regular customers can still order some if they want."

Different from ordinary curry, this curry is in line with the style of the Liko Liko coffee shop. In addition to the curry soup made from melted curry cubes, the dark brown curry rice also adds apples and bananas during cooking to neutralize the taste, adding a bit of fruity aroma to the slightly spicy curry.

Although it seems strange to add fruit to curry, it tastes really good. Ouyang Xuan also feels good about this curry. It is like a pineapple beef burger. Although it looks strange, it tastes surprisingly good.

The toxins in Qianshu's body have been eliminated, but her body has not fully recovered. She is weak and has little strength. She used to be the one serving food to Shanxia, but this time she had no choice but to change people.

In order to prevent Yamashita from suddenly going berserk and hurting people, Ouyang Sun would not remove the spell on his body even if he ate this curry. He would just loosen the spell that was strangling his neck a little, so that his throat, which was tightly compressed, could relax a little, so that when he ate, his throat would not be blocked and he could not swallow. As for how to eat, he could only let Liko Liko and the others feed him.

The mouth of the hung Yamashita was more than one meter off the ground. This height was a bit too high for the petite Chizuka Takina. Kurumi couldn't even put the spoon of curry into Yamashita's mouth by standing on tiptoe. In the end, they had to ask Mizuki, Yamashita's good poker friend and drinking buddy, to do it for them. After all, Mizuki herself said that she was a tall adult woman, and this height would be just right for her to do it.

"I haven't even fed my boyfriend, and I gave my first feeding play to you, Yamashita. I think I'm a very considerate friend." Muttering to herself, Ruixi scooped a spoonful of curry and poured it on the white rice on the side, stirring to mix the curry and rice thoroughly.

"You don't even have a boyfriend, how could you have done such a thing?" Qianshu exposed Ruixi's lie.

"Shut up, what do you know, you little brat! I'm saving this for my future boyfriend's first feeding play."

"If you go down and don't have time to reincarnate, please come back to me in a dream and tell me the numbers for the next lottery draw. I'll have money and find a handsome boyfriend, and I'll visit you often in the future."

While muttering to himself, Ruixi did not stop his actions. As soon as the spoon of curry was placed to Yamashita's mouth, he would immediately open his mouth and eat the curry. Only when he ate the curry did Yamashita's dull expression show a little bit of expression.

"curry.."

"Here it comes, don't worry, Mika made a lot, enough for you to eat until dawn."

Just like progressing in a game, as the curry in the plate became less and less, Yamashita's expression gradually relaxed. When he finished the last bite of curry, Yamashita's overall expression was still unusually dull, but one could vaguely see a slightly different look in his expression.

"Mika, Yamashita has finished one plate, please bring him another one." Ruixi knocked on the empty plate.

"No need." Ouyang Xuan called out to Ruixi, "There's no time left."

"Hasn't it only been an hour?" Ruixi said, "Onmyoji, you said at the beginning that we still have two hours to go down the mountain."

"The two hours I mentioned is when he completely and utterly transformed into a water ghost." Ouyang Sun looked down the mountain. "I didn't expect such a low-probability event would happen to me. Could it be because the previous water ghost was killed? Or is his obsession with this plate of curry so strong?"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"He's about to ascend." Ouyang Sun pointed down the mountain. "His obsession has been fully realized. He no longer has the slightest attachment to this world. It's a good thing that he can ascend to heaven half an hour before he completely turns into a water ghost."

"Manager, curry, hurry up and let Mr. Yamashita eat a little more before he goes to heaven." Qianzhu shouted towards the kitchen.

It was the first time for Likoliko and her group to see a ghost ascend to heaven with their own eyes. They didn't know how much time Yamashita had left in the world, so they could only hurriedly serve rice and curry, hoping that Yamashita would eat a few more bites.

"Thank you, Onmyoji." Yamashita actually said, "I can feel that the curse in my body has disappeared. I don't have to continue living like this, half-human, half-ghost."

"Thanks to everyone at Riko Riko, I'm happy to finally be able to eat this curry made with my mom's secret recipe."

Yamashita's body, hanging in the air, twisted as if he wanted to bow to Likoliko and his group and Ouyang Sun and his group, but he was unable to do so because his body was restrained.

"Finally, please allow me to thank everyone at Riko Riko once again. Thank you for taking care of me for so long."

"Also, curry with fruits like apples is really weird and unpalatable."

This was the second time that Hina saw a ghost ascend to heaven. The first time was when the little girl ascended to heaven after completing the Unity Band's performance. The second time was when Yamashita ascended to heaven after eating the flavor of her mother. Unlike the little girl who suddenly disappeared, after Yamashita ascended to heaven, her body, which had almost completely turned into a water ghost, turned into ashes under the gaze of everyone.

Chapter 46 He is not a thing

The summer vacation is over, and the students happily packed their bags and returned to school, immersing themselves in the ocean of knowledge again after two months. Of course, not all students are so obsessed with their studies. Some students are very unhappy about this, such as Ryoko Saten, who is now lying on the table and sighing.

"Summer vacation is so short~~~" Ruizi felt like she had no desire to live anymore.

"Two months have passed, Saten-san." Hatsuharu placed the lunch box on the table. This small space under the shade of the tree was the first choice for many students to eat lunch. After all, they would have to eat cold meals, and if they didn't get some sun, the yin energy would be too strong.

"Wow, Hatsuharu's lunch box today is pork meatballs." Leizi smelled the fragrance and looked up, "That's great, just like Hatsuharu's fat today-"

"Don't say it!!"

Recalling the usual skirt-lifting this morning, Hatsuharu's face suddenly turned red. In anger and shame, she almost threw her lunch at Lei Zi as a weapon.

"Really? When will Saten-kun stop his bad habit of lifting girls' skirts? If he doesn't change, he'll become a harm to society in the future."

"Eh?" Lei Zi asked curiously, "Why would I lift a girl's skirt?"

"Are you an idiot, Saten-san? You just lifted my skirt this morning."

"Hatsuharu is Hatsuharu, and others are others. How could I possibly lift up the skirt of anyone other than Hatsuharu?"

"Even if it's mine, you can't lift it. No matter whose skirt it is, you can't lift it." Uiharu waved her fist and kept hitting Ruiko's shoulders. "I will arrest you. Harassers like Saten-san will be arrested."

"Ah, Hina." Ruizi suddenly saw her chance to escape.

"Tear, Uiharu-san."

When Haruna heard Ruiko calling her, she came over with a lunch box.

"Good afternoon, Amano-san." Seeing a stranger coming, Hatsuharu immediately stopped and maintained an elegant and dignified attitude.

"Hey, that's not right." Uiharu suddenly realized something, "Why would Saten-san call Amano-san by her first name?"

"Well, something happened during our summer vacation." Hina said vaguely.

"This is a secret between girls, so don't ask about it, Hatsuharu."

"Mmmmm~"

Feeling excluded from the two of them, Hatsuharu pouted in dissatisfaction.

Chuchun's lunch box is a simple two pork meatballs with some mixed vegetables. Yangcai's is also quite simple, just a box of fried rice with some pickled kimchi. Leizi, who has the strongest femininity among the three, also has the most abundant lunch box. Three rice balls with different flavors are neatly arranged together, stewed radish, sliced winter melon, thick omelet with a lot of sugar, and finally some cherry tomatoes to relieve the greasiness.

"It seems like Saten-kun spends quite a bit of time just preparing his lunch box every day." Hatsuharu compared the two people's lunch boxes.

"It's okay, I can do it if I get up earlier." Lei Zi thought for a moment and added, "But if it's early spring, I can choose simpler dishes."

"Is Saten-san showing off your girl power?"

"How could that be?" Lei Zi passed a piece of radish to Chuchun, "Come and try it, Chuchun. I stewed this radish the night before."

"Hina, come and try it too." Leizi also picked up a piece for Hina.

"Well, would you like to try the miso soup I made?"

Hina didn't want to just eat other people's food, so she took out her thermos of miso soup and wanted to share it with Ruiko and Hatsuharu.

"It's scallop and tofu soup, and I added some high-quality ingredients from my part-time job."

"It smells so good, it looks like it will be delicious." Chuchun sniffed, the delicious taste of the scallop soup could be smelled just by her nose.

"Many high-end restaurants' scallop soups can't compare to this. I'm very confident about this scallop soup."

There was only one cup in the thermos, so Hina poured a cup for Hatsuharu first. After taking just one sip, Hatsuharu's eyes narrowed, as if the entire ocean had exploded in her mouth. The incomparable delicious taste was something Hatsuharu had never tasted before. It wasn't much, and she drank it all in two sips.

"It's delicious." Hatsuharu said excitedly, "Amano-san, how did you make this? It tastes amazing! This scallop soup is definitely better than many high-end restaurants."

"That's made with a secret recipe. Although I couldn't accept it at first, after eating it once, I felt like I had fallen in love with the taste." Hina nodded. Although she was quite resistant when she drank it for the first time, she got used to it after drinking it twice more.

"So, would you like a drink, Tears?"

"I, this..."

Ruizi's hesitant gaze lingered between Hina and the cup in her hand for a while. She moved her body closer to Hina and waved her hand to signal Hina to put her ear closer.

"Hina, the secret recipe you mentioned, isn't it a monster?"

"Yes." Hina admitted it openly in a low voice.

"I caught some last time when the president and I were out on a business trip. There are many ways to prepare them, but cooking them in soup is the best way to bring out the best of these scallops."

"What are you guys whispering to me?" Uiharu looked at Ruiko curiously as she leaned over to Haruna, then asked, "Are you asking about the secret recipe, Saten-san? Dame-da, this secret recipe is very important. We just need to drink it, and we're not allowed to ask about it."

"It's okay, it's okay. Ruizi just asked me how to make this fried rice." Hina showed Hatsuharu the golden fried rice in her hand. It was so shiny that she wanted to eat it.

"Yes, this fried rice made by Yang Cai looks delicious. I want to try it myself at home."

"I think Amano-san's scallop soup is better. It's a delicacy you'll never forget once you try it." Hatsuharu turned into a food critic.

"It's no use just listening to me. Amano-san, please let Saten-san taste it. Only by tasting it yourself can you know how delicious this scallop soup is."

"I, I don't need it, haha, I don't like scallop soup very much recently." Lei Zi smiled stiffly and rejected Hatsuharu's suggestion.

Ruizi really likes urban legends and is quite curious about everything about monsters. However, when she eats food made from monsters, she always feels a little creepy and uncomfortable.

"Being picky about food is not what good kids do."

Chuchun took the scallop soup poured by Yangcai and handed it to Leizi. This time, in addition to the soup, there was also a scallop with its shell floating in it. The white and chewy scallop meat in Chuchun's eyes was a black and white eyeball in Leizi's eyes, staring at Leizi angrily, as if saying, why do you want to eat me?

Lulutia stuffed a bunch of magic into her brain, and accidentally opened Ruiko's eyes. Although it was not like Hina's eyes that were opened by Ouyang Sun, where she could see everything, she could only see some very weak or dead monsters and evil spirits. Now, the eyeballs floating on the scallop soup in the cup could only be seen by Ruiko and Hina.

[You guys usually eat such strong flavors!?] Ruizi's eyes conveyed this signal.

"I should have sieved out all the shellfish, but I might have missed one. Eat it, it's quite delicious." Haruna answered Ruizi with her eyes.

[How can I possibly eat this!?]

"Saten-san, stop looking around. This is the soup Amano-san worked so hard to make. Drink it quickly or it will get cold soon."

Hatsuharu, who was moving closer with a bowl of scallop soup, looked like an ancient woman in Rei's eyes, and the words she said seemed to be telling Rei to get up and drink the soup.

"Hina, do you want to go work for Senior Ouyang after class today?" Ruizi wanted to change the subject.

"No need. The president and Yang Nai-sister are out playing today. Their university hasn't started yet."

"Senior Ouyang?" Chuchun didn't know Ouyang Xuan yet.

"He's the president of the office where Amano-san works part-time. He's a really nice and handsome guy." Seeing that she had successfully changed the subject, Ruizi immediately followed up, "He's not only a great student, but also a great charmer. He shared some delicious food with us. This scallop was given to Hina by Senior Ouyang."

"If Chuchun likes it, you can ask Senior Ouyang to give her some. If a cute junior like Chuchun asks for it, Senior Ouyang will definitely give it to you."

"How can I take things from strangers?" Uiharu's mind flashed, and Ruiko almost changed the subject. "Saten-kun, drink the soup quickly."
