You say this is a love game?

"Yes." Zashiki lowered his head.

Something occurred to her, and her body returned to its original size. She reached out to Mizutani Makoto and took out a blue amulet from the inner pocket of Mizutani Makoto's coat.

【Weak Amulet】

The amulets in my hometown tend to be Buddha amulets, Guanyin statues, etc., but the amulets here in Japan, whether they are from shrines or temples, are basically "omamori" in style.

Monks write the names of their gods on wooden boards or pieces of paper, and then put them in small cloth bags to ward off evil spirits and eliminate bad luck. Now it has gradually evolved to include traffic safety, safe childbirth, good marriage, academic studies, health and other aspects.

The amulet that Makoto Mizutani asked the temple for at that time was a more conventional "health amulet".

"Then at least, big brother, please hold this!"

Zashiki clasped his hands together and wrapped the amulet in his palms. When the young hands were opened, the amulet on them seemed to have changed.

Lucky Amulet

[Description: The unformed Zashiki-warashi placed hair and flower petals into this object and bestowed blessings upon it. The wearer gains a +2 bonus to Luck.]

[Comment: Perhaps this is a gift from a certain elf that he wants to give you from the bottom of his heart. But what is the price?]

Chapter 030 The reason behind it is heartwarming

Mizutani Makoto accepted the amulet.

Zashiki also left this world as it was. She couldn't explain the specific principle, but after entering the gap through Mizutani Makoto as a "medium", she always had a way to "disconnect" in her mind, just like Mizutani Makoto also had a way to "exit the game" in advance.

Go offline near the "bonfire", this is a special mechanism.

Makoto Mizutani is just greedy and is used to clearing up all his stamina before logging off.

There are still two hours until 12 o'clock, which is definitely enough for him to use up two lives. Taking into account the three exploration opportunities refreshed on Sunday night, he will have a tolerance of 5 lives, which is enough for him to increase the number of souls.

Soul: 968

Isn’t this fast?

There are 500 left. As long as I'm lucky, I might be able to get the props tonight.

He first went around to the square in front of the teaching building and found that the JK ladies were already in place, and the stone lions that had originally chased to the square were nowhere to be seen.

The floor that was crushed by it returned to its original state, the fountain that was smashed by its claws was still gurgling with water, and the JK ladies continued to chat happily with each other, which was simply a model of continuing to play music and dance.

good thing.

To be honest, he was quite afraid of being blocked by the "fog gate"... If the stone lion was a BOSS that had to be killed as soon as it was refreshed before he could continue to advance the map, then he would really be "stuck".

Fortunately, the stone lions were refreshed and gone.

He walked cautiously to the school gate area, looking at the school gate and the security room next to it from afar, and could vaguely see the stone lion statue guarding the school gate.

Finding that there was no danger, he groped forward for a distance until he could barely see the stone lion clearly and stopped.

The stone lion is made entirely of bluestone, and its body maintains the crouching posture of a traditional Tang lion, standing majestically on the bluestone base.

This was the first time Mizutani Makoto had approached the security room, but even so, the stone lion that had once made him look like Makoto remained motionless. It simply crouched there quietly, acting as a statue to ward off evil spirits and guard the school gate.

"Then how did I trigger this BOSS..."

Mizutani Makoto was puzzled and even examined the equipment in his backpack. Two of the equipment were found in the school gate area.

Ksitigarbha's Buddha Head Bead: [Evaluation: Merit +1, but I hope the donor can put down their butcher knife soon and avoid committing too much killing.]

Ksitigarbha's tattered cloth shoes: [Evaluation: Merit +1. I urge you to put on your cloth shoes and run away!]

"..."

I seem to understand something.

What you mean is that if I kill Ksitigarbha monk, I will get "merit +1", and then Ksitigarbha monk will advise me not to commit too much karma of killing, or even tell me to run away quickly?

Why are you running?

Of course, it’s to hide from the stone lions!

It really made me cry to death.

But the speculation that followed made Mizutani Makoto gasp.

"No way?"

Holding a kitchen knife and feeling extremely nervous, he found a Ksitigarbha monk in the corner to perform the "Merit +1" Buddhist exercise.

Soul +12

【From a corner, an angry roar was heard! 】

"Roar!!"

The roar that seemed to burst the eardrums made Mizutani Makoto's body tremble.

Mizutani Makoto straightened his collar, turned around expressionlessly, and raised his middle finger in the direction of the security room.

"They had no problem with me killing them, and even told me they had +1 merit. I advise you to stay out of my business!"

In his sight, the majestic stone lion was instantly covered with dark red blood moss, and it jumped down from the base like a Shura evil ghost, roaring and chasing after him.

The earth shakes!

Ending: [Cheng-chan~Cheng-chan~]

The third life!

Mizutani Makoto rushed to the school gate in disbelief.

A nervous heart and trembling hands.

He found a young Ksitigarbha monk and helped him to achieve enlightenment. Amidst an auditory hallucination of "Merit +1", two windows popped up on his retina again.

Soul +12

【From a corner, an angry roar was heard! 】

Mizutani Makoto sat cross-legged on the spot, looking at the stone lion stumbling towards him, feeling that it inexplicably looked like a big red-haired dog.

You are a real dog!!

Ending: [Heartwarming Big Dog]

Intermission!

Mizutani Makoto's show is off the air.

He covered his face and couldn't help but take a shower.

Such a small bathroom definitely doesn't have a dry and wet area or a bathtub. Mizutani Makoto was showering under the shower, and even through the frosted glass, the zashiki could hear the boy's subtle complaints.

Zashiki stood outside the bathroom, looking around curiously, holding in his arms Mizutani Makoto's clothes for a change.

He took a shower in one go, but such a smooth operation was bound to have some omissions, such as forgetting to take his clothes.

At this time, Mizutani Makoto suddenly opened the bathroom door. He had a bath towel wrapped around his waist and took the clean clothes from Zashiki's arms very naturally. He said "Oh, thank you", then closed the door and continued to bathe.

So natural, so familiar...

Zashiki was amazed for a moment, but when she thought about helping another person, the girl couldn't help but smile with a hint of joy.

It feels like a long time.

There was no intersection and interaction with people like there is now.

After Mizutani Makoto finished scrubbing his body, the steaming boy walked out of the bathroom, stepped barefoot on the floor, and began to think about his plans for tonight.

As he was thinking, he suddenly realized that the tatami in the house was also idle. The girl was sitting obediently on the tatami, looking a little bored, but did not come to disturb him.

Noticing Mizutani Makoto's gaze, Zashiki tilted his head slightly.

She suddenly became a little nervous, worried that Mizutani Makoto would notice her weakness...

Yes, her blessing is not without cost.

Although Mizutani Makoto thought she was a Zashiki-warashi and temporarily called her Zashiki, she had a feeling that she was not yet a Zashiki-warashi.

She can bring good luck to people, but she has to pay a price.

She had nothing to offer, only her spiritual power and existence...

Zashiki's power was weak to begin with, and after being blessed twice, it had already exceeded her capabilities. Now her figure was even more ethereal, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

However, when she was close to Mizutani Makoto, she could feel the warmth.

It was as if she felt the thriving vitality, something flowed from Mizutani Makoto, making her feel warm.

"Zashiki, aren't you a little bored?"

Mizutani Makoto interrupted Zashiki's wandering thoughts.

“…No.”

Mizutani Makoto turned around and looked around. This place was just a temporary residence. Not to mention a TV, there wasn't even a computer with internet access. Every time he wanted to use a computer, he had to go to a nearby Internet cafe to surf the Internet.

I covered my face and felt a little embarrassed.

He was fine. After all, he went to school, worked, and slept on weekdays. The apartment was just a place to rest, and he didn't need any entertainment equipment to decorate it. This also led to him not caring at all whether the apartment had a living atmosphere...

The only thing that could relieve his boredom might be the comic books in his cupboard.

Japan has a well-developed two-dimensional industry and countless excellent comics. He liked reading comics in his previous life, and comics naturally became one of the few interests he had besides his studies in this life.

Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but think, it would be convenient for him to fall asleep right away, but it would be difficult to deal with the zashiki left in the room...

Let her sit there and stare blankly?

Mizutani Makoto hesitated, his phone in his pocket.

Because he was obsessed with his studies, there was nothing shameful in Mizutani Makoto's phone. He didn't even save the erotic pictures of his group friends. When he opened the album, all he could see were landscape pictures and pictures of his older sister that he had kept even after changing two phones.

should be no problem.

He suddenly had a strange feeling. It was like he was taking care of a relative's child, and he was actually considering whether the child needed to play with his phone...

"Me? I won't be bored..."

Zashiki looked surprised, his voice gradually becoming quieter, and he finally stammered, "I'm used to it."

Mizutani Makoto pursed his lips and put away his phone.

He probed, "Let's chat."

Put the game aside for now.

I can think of game strategies at any time, but if I miss this girl who is full of loneliness, I don’t know where to start comforting her.

"Do you like reading comics?"

Chapter 031 Good Night, Miss

Late at night.

The night wind blew, making the wind chimes jingle. Moonlight seeped in through the cracks, cutting the mildew spots on the wallpaper. Zashiki sat quietly on the tatami, holding the phone that Mizutani Makoto had given her.

The cheap low-rise apartments are located near the streets. Even late at night, you can occasionally feel the vibrations of cars on the road, not to mention the flashing neon lights that make the city look like a city that never sleeps.

If you live in such a place for a long time, your sleep quality will definitely be affected.

Zashiki shook his head, clearing away the unnecessary thoughts from his mind.

Mizutani Makoto chatted with her for a while just now, and it was not until after midnight that he yawned, crawled onto the floor and fell asleep.

He seemed to have entered the place called "the crevice" again.

There was a subtle attraction emanating from Makoto Mizutani, and Zashiki sensed it, but she and Makoto Mizutani had already agreed not to enter the crevice, so she didn't feel like touching Makoto Mizutani at this time.

“So hardworking…”

A feeling from the heart.

Ever since I came into contact with the elder brother, I seem to have rarely seen him rest. He seems to be able to find something to do at every moment, and he can immerse himself in it and never get tired of it.

Even she felt tired.

Although she is already a dead ghost, Zashiki still feels tired and exhausted. During the ten days of wandering, she often had the experience of sleeping in the corner of the park. This is normal and is a sign of excessive energy consumption.

And today, she spent all her energy to make a talisman for Mizutani Makoto.
