You say this is a love game?

"Then drink some water."

At the head of the bed, Mizutani Makoto handed a cup of water to Miyamizu Inouye.

The girl nodded slightly, holding the glass and taking two sips of warm water.

As soon as she put down the cup of water, Mizutani Makoto handed her the [Camellia Blood Cup] as usual.

He was the one who sent Miyamizu Inaba to the hospital, and he is currently paying for the medical expenses.

More than twenty days have passed.

In the earlier battle at Yami High School, Miyami Inaba single-handedly killed countless Onmyoji and monsters, causing a river of blood. He killed most of the elite Onmyoji of the Yajima family, and even Mizutani Makoto's subsequent pursuit became extremely easy.

But the girl also paid a terrible price.

The secret technique related to the ghost clan seemed to have placed a great burden on Miyamizu Inaba.

According to Mizutani Makoto's subsequent observations, the burden was mainly reflected in the spirit, which was the "beast" posture of the girl he saw at the beginning. Then the mental pressure spread to the physical body, so that Miyamizu Inaba's body with strong recovery ability fell into a state of weakness that was difficult to recover.

Mizutani Makoto didn't have any particularly good ideas, so he transferred Miyamizu Inaba to the hospital for care.

Makoto Mizutani would take time out to visit her every day.

During the hospitalization, Miyamizu Inaba was in a coma most of the time, but recently she has been awake for longer and longer periods of time, and Mizutani Makoto often took advantage of the girl's moments of consciousness to feed her the [Camellia Blood Cup]. The effect of this blood cup was very good. Although the source of the girl's injuries was not in her physical body or vitality, the blood cup still gave her plenty of energy and spirit, making her recovery much faster.

Because she drank it so many times, the blood cup almost became this girl's daily drink. The original Immortal Red Bottle tasted like Xiao Chaihu when she drank it.

"Well……"

Drink the "Spirit Nectar" in the blood cup, and then return the blood cup to Mizutani Makoto.

Miyamizu Inaba wore a hospital gown and stayed in the hospital for twenty days. The girl's appearance and temperament seemed more fragile than ever, but Mizutani Makoto's regular visits relieved the girl's mood from her depression. Now she secretly glanced at Mizutani Makoto twice, and she felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart.

"Oh my, I'm not a human being, am I?"

"They say girls grow up and can't be kept at home. How long can he chat with you in a day? I try to make you happy all day long, but why do you just ignore me? I'm so sad~"

Shuten, on the other hand, held Miyamizu Inaba's arm, looking like a little abandoned woman.

Seeing that Miyamizu Inaba didn't want to pay attention to him, Shuten fell down and the whole ghost lay on Miyamizu Inaba's thighs. His young face, which didn't show the nature of an evil ghost at all, just looked up at someone's chin from the bottom up.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. If you ignore me...don't forget, you still owe me a chance to play. When the time comes, I'm going to explode with you...hehe..."

Miyamizu Inaba didn't want to pay any attention to Shuten.

Ever since Shuten pushed her into the form of an "evil spirit" last time, she has been struggling in the same nightmare for more than twenty days.

Miyamizu Inaba herself knew that the nightmare she was having now was actually a mixture of her past experiences and her current fears.

That fire happened three years ago.

Three years ago, a couple took their child to Fukuchiyama City in Kyoto Prefecture, intending to take their child to see the world. However, they unexpectedly encountered a spiritual disaster in Fukuchiyama City, and their family was destroyed overnight. The only surviving child was adopted by relatives.

That child is Miyamizu Inaba.

That fire was definitely one of Miyamizu Inaba's nightmares.

In fact, the young girl could not remember much at all, not to mention that the situation was extremely chaotic. She was crying and running, so how could she have the energy to remember?

Miyamizu Inaba only remembered that she was pushed by her parents to run away. While running, she was finally tripped by something and fell into the sea of ​​fire. Through the thick black smoke, she seemed to see something vaguely, and then the voice of Shuten sounded. When she opened her eyes again, she was already coexisting with Shuten.

Therefore, the part about the evil spirit in the nightmare was most likely filled with her inner "fear".

She was still resisting... The more she felt the tyrannical power of the ghost clan, the more she feared that one day she would lose control and become an evil ghost who would butcher others.

But fortunately, as the ghost blood gradually cooled down, her nightmare symptoms also eased.

"Don't think too much."

Makoto Mizutani used his superb knife skills to peel an apple for the girl and at the same time did some ideological work for her.

Miyamizu Inaba sat obediently on the hospital bed, thought for a moment and then smiled.

She is not someone who can be emo for a long time. She has been aroused by Shuten in various ways for three years. She has plenty of ways to regulate her emotions.

"What about Mizutani?"

"I?"

"You've also had two days off, right? Has your life changed?"

Miyamizu Inaba turned around, picked up the apple that Mizutani Makoto had cut, and ate it while listening to Mizutani Makoto talk about what was happening over there.

She is clear.

Mizutani Makoto's girlfriend... recently became his shikigami.

"Gu..."

The tiger thrush made a warning call.

Mai Yajima was jumping up and down in front of the girl's bed. The tiger thrush's belly was round, and she was still digesting the paper mid-level spirit core fed to her by Makoto Mizutani. Her digestion speed was much faster than that of Yoshiko Satori. In just two days, she was already gnawing on her fourth spirit core.

But the development of a quasi-god Pokémon is a long process.

The increase in Mai Yajima's spiritual power is not significant, so she still needs to be fed and nurtured slowly.

"Don't make trouble."

Mizutani Makoto gently flicked the guy's head and talked to Miyamizu Inaba about recent events.

When talking about the recent changes in his life, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but look melancholy.

Makoto Mizutani, a sixteen-year-old high school boy, is experiencing a rapid decline in his quality of life.

Yoshiko Satori and Mai Yajima always cling to him when he goes to sleep.

Every time he was cuddled by the little one to sleep, the biggest feeling in his heart was that he was so tired... Hugging one cool pillow was comfortable, but hugging two was torture. What's more, both pillows stuck to him like octopuses, and he couldn't tell which one belonged to whom, which made his sleep quality very poor.

At the same time, as the number of people increases, the family has more things to consider.

Fortunately, Furuya Ruriko was understanding and even took the initiative to help Mizutani Makoto take care of Satori Yoshiko, which really relieved a lot of pressure.

"Are there too many shikigami?"

Miyamizu Inaba has never raised a Shikigami, so she doesn't have any worries in this regard.

Mizutani Makoto shook his head: "I can't really say they're Shikigami. In fact, I feel like they're more like my family, and I prefer this family feeling."

"family……"

Miyamizu Inaba looked at the jumping Yajima Mai.

A girl's feelings are always complicated.

After hearing that Yajima Mai had become a "Shikigami", Miyamizu Inaba's heart went through multiple emotional changes. Until now, she couldn't explain the vague "relief" in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it... These days, she seemed to be getting more and more comfortable and pleasing to the eye with Mizutani Makoto.

Until Mizutani Makoto heard someone calling him outside and left the ward, Miyamizu Inawa's eyes were still fixed on Mizutani Makoto's back.

"Don't look at it, the more you look at it, the more horny you become."

Shuten waved his hand.

"What did you say?"

"My ghost blood originates from the blood of dragons and snakes. If you could perfectly control this bloodline, it wouldn't be a big deal. But you, stupid rabbit, have been resisting ghost blood... Oh, you still can't perfectly control this ghost blood until now, so its rampage will naturally leave some sequelae."

"Besides its bestial nature of killing, this dragon and snake blood will also have an impact on reproduction. Don't let your sexual desire get you off your chest just by looking at it."

Dragons and snakes, the demand for certain things is very strong...

As soon as these words came out, the girl's cheeks immediately turned red.

"What kind of blood is this!"

The sudden rise in voice made Shuten roll his eyes helplessly.

"Don't try to pass the buck. Even if the blood you fused with has some subtle dragon and snake properties, its essence is primarily based on a violent bloodlust. At most, it makes you easily excited... and even that excitement leans towards the bloodlust. As for you falling in love with him, that's purely your own problem. The dragon and snake properties only make you more excited. Don't blame your love-crazy mind on the ghost blood."

"Hi, do you like it?"

Miyamizu Inaba's delicate ears turned red, and she shook her head vigorously, "How could I like Mizutani-senpai? Don't talk nonsense... It's all your fault! It was your fault last time. Why did you forcefully kiss Mizutani for no reason..."

"You just like to argue with me. I don't care anyway. Life just goes on like that, doesn't it? But there's someone who's obsessed with that first kiss all day long, bringing it up all the time. That person can't be me, right?"

You deserve a beating.

This guy really... has no sense of shame at all.

Shuten's teasing tone made Miyamizu Inaba feel so angry that her teeth itched.

Especially she threw out a sentence lightly:

"Even if you don't like me yet, it's still true that I have feelings for you, right?"

"You can't even search for an enemy in the void. Your eyes are almost glued to him. Doesn't that mean you have a crush on him?"

Miyamizu Inaba clenched his fists and suddenly felt strong again.

"come here."

"I'll let you keep talking nonsense!"

Shuten shouted "Yoho~!" and put his head in front of Miyamizu Inaba.

"You want to hit me? Go ahead, can you hit me?"

"If you can beat me today, I will take your last name and be called Miyamizu Shuten from now on. But can you beat me? Oh hehe~"

"Stupid~"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

Completely popular.

……

……

After coming out of the ward where Miyamizu Inaba was, Mizutani Makoto was summoned by Kagaya Chacha.

"Boss!"

The turbulent raccoon monster was waving at him excitedly.

After more than twenty days of recovery, Huawu Chacha's image once again transformed into an adult woman of about twenty-five years old.

Huawu Chacha has a plump figure, like a ripe peach. Even because of her excessive maturity, this female raccoon who obviously has no emotional experience actually looks like a wife at first glance.

However, this ladylike-looking raccoon monster behaves like a lively and playful kid, and her tone of voice is a bit reckless and childish during conversations... These contrasting attributes combined together make Mizutani Makoto stay away from this "secretary".

Yes, secretary.

Originally, Chacha Kayaya had no feelings towards "Lord Mizutani". She was tired of hearing Wow Yao bragging about him. It was not until Mizutani Makoto made his grand appearance in the Solar Eclipse Battle and his murderous figure officially entered Chacha Kayaya's sight that she began to pay special attention to this god of death.

Sixteen years old!

In two months, I climbed all the way from the paper level to the very top!

In the world of monsters, the strong are respected most of the time. Many small monsters will gather around the big monsters to form a small force to seek shelter.

On the one hand, Kagaya Chacha witnessed Mizutani Makoto's strength and potential, and on the other hand, he saw him really giving spirit cores to monsters...

Considering the combination of Mizutani Makoto and Miyamizu Inaba, and considering Mizutani Makoto's social status in Night Light City after this battle...

That night, Kagaya Chacha forcibly broke her branch and presented her loyalty to Lord Mizutani!

During the war, Kagaya Chacha had already volunteered to help Mizutani Makoto with some minor matters that did not cross the line, and became familiar to him.

When the Solar Eclipse Battle was completely over, the Tokyo Exorcists and the Inari Taisha Exorcists withdrew from the Night Light City, and the other family forces began to expand, she led the former little monsters to bow down and directly became a "secretary"... This secretary was what she called herself, just like his title of "boss", which was derived from the most simple respect of the monsters.

It seems like he is going to become one of the many demons parading at night.

Makoto Mizutani can actually call upon nearly thirty little monsters, but don't count on the strength of these monsters, they are basically destined to be the atmosphere group.

And now, Huawu Chacha came to report his work progress to him.

It's about the "cake".

"Boss! I've successfully secured ownership of the spirit vein!"

Huawu Chacha puffed out her chest proudly.

The raccoon monster naturally likes to mingle with humans, and Huawu Chacha even became "Exorcist Miss S", which shows her love for human society.

She follows Mizutani Makoto not only for her own future and the future of the little monsters, but also to satisfy her strong desire to express herself and perform. She likes big occasions very much, and also likes the moment when she can decide the direction of many major events in a snap of her fingers. Makoto Mizutani, the hands-off boss, is perfect for her!

"Negotiation is easy."
