You say this is a love game?

Today I had planned to talk to Matsushita Kei about the matters of the exorcist, but as soon as he called out the Hey Stone, the strong man observed carefully and both the man and the demon were frightened.

This is a shitty talent!

This guy is a half-demon!

Half-demon, now the problem is more difficult...

Akiyuki Nishida said a lot of things, but to sum it up simply, he thought that political review was somewhat difficult.

Since the three generations before him were all pure-blooded humans, he asked Matsushita Kei to explain how he became a half-demon. After hesitating for a long time, Matsushita Kei hid the figure of Mizutani Makoto and confessed that he was killed by the contracted ghost and had the [Ancient Chun's Spirit Core] implanted in him.

After learning about the past, Akihiro Nishida finally breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly that there was at least some hope of passing the review.

The foundation of Panasonic's innovation is traceable.

The Exorcist Association is wary of half-demons, but it's not completely without half-demons in its members. It's even said that some famous Onmyoji in history were half-demons... Therefore, the Exorcist Association's attitude is to be wary, but also willing to recruit after careful consideration.

The type of person who really cannot pass the review is someone like Miyamizu Inaba - once the name "Shuten Douji" is announced, she should be prepared to go to hell with Shuten.

So, is it possible that Matsushita Kei was dragged away to become an exorcist?

should be.

Nishida Meiyou said that since he is a half-demon, it is impossible for him to continue living an ordinary life...

Either become an exorcist or accept control.

If he were to become an exorcist, Nishida Akiyuki would be willing to do everything in his power to be his guarantor. With someone recommending and guaranteeing him, he should be able to join the exorcist team smoothly.

The old man muttered something about "life-long friendship", which made it difficult for Matsushita Kei, a young man who had never been out of society, to cope with it.

[Blue-haired Water Monster: How to deal with this is up to you. I can't make the decision for you, but if you become an exorcist, you should be able to better handle the changes brought about by the Ancient Toon Spirit Core.]

Mizutani Makoto also had other considerations.

I wonder if Akihiro Nishida realized one thing - in the incident of Kei Matsushita, a "mysterious master" appeared and gave the ancient chun spirit core to Kei Matsushita.

With Akiyuki Nishida's attentive personality, he didn't ask any further questions?

"..."

Did you have any conversation with Matsushita Kei last night?

There seemed to be a brief conversation.

Mizutani Makoto didn't know whether Nishida Akiyuki had any other considerations for recruiting Matsushita Keiichi, but for him, this was not a particularly important matter.

Matsushita Kei did want to learn about the exorcist, but he was already in the bureau and couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

For Mizutani Makoto, this is also acceptable. He might be able to learn something about the Exorcist Association through Matsushita Kei, and he can also save himself the trouble of showing up in public.

After finishing all these follow-up trivial matters, Mizutani Makoto finally turned his attention to Tomoko's task settlement.

Mission Status Update: Children Returning Home (100%)

[The mission has been completed, and the mission reward has been issued. ]

Mission Reward: 700 million yen, 2 free attribute points, 4 spiritual power points, 4 small forging stones, 2 forging stones

"No hidden rewards?"

At first, Mizutani Makoto was still wondering, isn’t the final judgment considered a hidden progress?

But he looked at the task requirements:

Revenge for the children who became "caged birds"

This side quest itself is for revenge. Even if you invite the children to join you, it is still part of the revenge.

Forget it, why think so much?

Mizutani Makoto is very clear-minded when doing things. If he was really pursuing profit, he would not have been able to trigger the hidden rewards twice before.

Just let things take their course.

If you look closely, the rewards of this mission are quite rich.

The previous Contract Ghost Story mission rewards are about the same after being doubled.

[Stamina: 7→9]

[Spiritual Power: 29→33]

The arrival of 7 million yen greatly alleviated the slight sadness after last night's excessive spending. Mizutani Makoto summed up his family's assets. After deducting recent living expenses and last night's large purchases, the Mizutani family's assets now stood at around 17 million yen...

"That's almost enough money."

As mentioned before, the average price of a single-family house in Yedeng City is generally around 20 to 30 million yuan, but when Mizutani Makoto was looking for houses on the software, he found quite a few houses that cost more than 10 million yuan. If they were some relatively old single-family houses, he could even buy them in full.

"But I still have a mission."

Mizutani Makoto glanced at him.

——[The Eighth Color of Youth]

That is, the task about the "Seven Weird Tales on Campus".

Makoto Mizutani is not very optimistic about the spiritual power points for this mission - there are seven ghost stories in total, but there seem to be only three of the same rank, Hanako-chan, the stairs, and the broken mirror. The difficulty of the mission is probably not as good as that of the Gyouhuo Bird. The only difference is that there are more bosses to fight, and the difficulty curve of the mission is more reasonable.

He completed this task at the same level, so Tongzi would definitely not give him so many spiritual power points.

But, as for money...

There must be several million, right?

With summer vacation approaching, it’s a great time to look at houses.

Come to think of it, last night's party in this small room wasn't fun enough...

Makoto Mizutani decided to do something big.

Chapter 144: Combat skills, electric fishing in the swimming pool, Kurosawa Ryohito's ambition, and Koizumi Hanako in the bathroom.

Crack.

After a few days, Furuya Ruriko felt a warm light and knew that someone with a destiny had once again stepped into the crack of his loyalty.

For Chidori, Mizutani Makoto's behavior was simply a display of "immortal arts".

"It was the same when you left before. I had no idea how you left."

"Now, I don't understand how you got in."

The drunken days are a thing of the past.

Now, Chidori, who has fully awakened, is floating beside Mizutani Makoto, looking up at the cracked sky that was once as terrifying as a nightmare. Even someone as proud as her is filled with disbelief.

This was the first time that Mizutani Makoto brought her back into the crevice.

Last time, before she could figure out how Makoto Mizutani left the rift, she encountered a series of events of the Red Lotus Seed Guard. She didn't have time to get along with Makoto Mizutani further before she was dragged by Makoto Mizutani to summon gods and beat up evil cult demons.

Judging from the entire process and outcome of the incident, she was quite satisfied with Mizutani Makoto's performance.

But the confusing parts will continue to be confusing.

"What is this torii?"

She turned her head and looked at the vermilion torii gate, which was also a new and strange thing she had never seen before.

Torii is a symbol of "divine territory" in Japan. What Chidori doesn't understand is why such a "divine territory" appears in the cracks?

A lot of incomprehensible things...

Mizutani Makoto patiently explained it to her. Of course, his explanation was quite "modern". He did not understand the working principle of Tongzi, so he could only describe it to her - he was not entering the crevice with his real body now, and he could be resurrected even if he died in the crevice. He was just "settling" in the crevice now.

"You exercise in the cracks?"

Chidori's eyes widened.

She had previously thought that Mizutani Makoto was an exorcist exploring crevices!

They were all at the level of the Merge, so it was incredible that they could escape from the cracks. But why did you treat the Demon King's Castle as a novice village to level up?!

"Is your workout... a little too aggressive?"

Chidori has always been a radical.

This retro-style sword soul girl always believes in one truth - hardship and difficulty will lead to success.

To achieve great things, you must go through hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine!

You see, in the life-and-death duels and fights on the battlefields of ancient times, they faced death again and again and broke through their own limits again and again. It was these extreme experiences that seemed extremely cruel and dangerous to ordinary people that forged their unparalleled strength and reputation.

Even if he practiced in seclusion in a dojo for his whole life, he would not be able to become a great swordsman praised by the world. And as the master of her Chidori sword, how could Mizutani Makoto live an ordinary life?

Actual combat is king!

What she wants is not a fancy guy, but a real swordsman!

So, she really thought that she would have to guide Mizutani Makoto more often to slay demons and monsters in the future...

Now it’s good, she doesn’t need to guide me anymore.

But she suddenly felt that Makoto Mizutani was a little too radical.

When radicals think you are radical, it's time to reflect on whether you have a serious illness.

"The rift is generally a place of death... I'm talking about people of our rank."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't any powerful monsters in this place. However, it's normal for monsters in the same place to have different strengths."

"Just like in ancient times, if a fierce-ranked demon didn't have much accumulated power, the subordinates he could show off might only be of the same rank."

"You can't underestimate this rift just because the opponent you defeated before was weak... I had a feeling when I was dragged into it before. This rift definitely hides something terrifying, perhaps even more powerful..."

Chidori is serious.

Mizutani Makoto pondered, "...This place actually already has powerful monsters."

When Chidori heard this, she immediately got furious: "Then why did you come?"

"Don't worry, I've been hanging around in the cracks since I was at the Paper Rank, and I haven't found too many problems yet."

"Besides, I've already pushed the map to around ninety, and I only have a few important locations left to explore... If I could uncover any major crises, that would be a good thing. It just so happens that the exorcist I met the other day was from Tokyo. If something really goes wrong, I should consider summoning some divine aid."

The cost of this series of operations is only his [number of explorations]

Chidori: "?"

what did you say?

You've been wandering around in this damn place since the paper level, all the way to the middle and almost upper levels?

Chidori felt her scalp tingling.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you into the crevice and I'll definitely bring you out."

After calming Chidori down, Mizutani Makoto began making preparations for the battle.

It’s mainly about resource allocation.

He harvested a huge number of spirit cores from the Guhuo Bird's small treasury.

The paper-level spirit cores are not particularly meaningful nowadays. The main ones are three lower-level spirit cores, one middle-level spirit core, and a purification spirit core of the Guhuo Bird.

"Mama's boy?"

At this time, we must consider a question.

You have a medium-sized mother and an extra-large main C. Who should you invest your resources in?

Logically speaking, Jiazi joined the group earlier, and the spirit core of the Guhuo Bird should be given to Jiazi's mother to try... A medium cup is a medium cup, but these are the glorious years of the old cadres after all. If you don't treat the old cadres better, won't you chill their hearts?

However, considering the actual combat power...

His rabbit head is very powerful.

Mizutani Makoto really needs fighting power.

When pioneering new land, good resource allocation is a must. No matter how much you upgrade Aozashiki, the improvement in frontal combat capability is very slight. Moreover, even if it is upgraded to the middle position, when performing a double fusion, its skills will most likely be squeezed out by Chidori.

As for the combined form of "Zashiki-warashi"?

That's even more unnecessary.

At least the Reverse-Zashiki has a mechanism, but the Zashiki-warashi has no mechanism and no value. Even the skill of "Attracting Luck" that increases the luck value can be replaced by the insidious trick of "Disaster Transfer". It is really useless.
