You say this is a love game?

I can only come to the temple to visit my friends more often in the future.

Mizutani Makoto tidied up his things, then gently shook the amulet on his chest.

Yoshiko Satori emerged from the amulet, and the figurine-sized girl circled in the air and finally landed on Mizutani Makoto's shoulder.

She was wearing a red kimono, and attacked in a red form that symbolized good fortune.

"Wow, big brother, did you finally win?"

"Of course, let's collect some."

After clearing out all the monsters in this place for the first time, Mizutani Makoto could finally relax and explore to see if there were any props.

Under the guidance of Yoshiko Satori, they successfully discovered three [weak souls] and some props hidden in the corner.

Ghost resin, ash pills... these are all things that have appeared in Kurosawa Ryojin's shop and can be helpful in advancing the map.

I didn't find any equipment, which is a pity.

But in the end, Yoshiko Satori ran up to him holding a page of her diary.

"Brother, I also found this!"

[Fragments of Kendo Club Diary]

[Description: Have you heard? It seems Mr. Bei Dao bought an incredible knife. He treasures it so much that he won't let anyone see it...]

"……Um?"

Looks like a quest item.

Makoto Mizutani is quite sensitive to this kind of information. It appeared in the diary of the kendo club, and the word "knife" happened to appear in the diary. It seems that it should be related to the mission or hidden equipment.

Moreover, Kurosawa Ryojin also said that there is a "Kendo Master" on the top floor of the tower...that should be the final BOSS.

Keep it for now.

Mizutani Makoto packed his backpack and then walked upstairs. The second floor of the dojo was much smaller than the first floor. It was still filled with kendo apprentices and other miscellaneous soldiers, but judging from their physique, they seemed to be stronger than the kendo apprentices on the first floor.

Still no match for him.

However, when he was clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers, accompanied by two loud bangs, two sword ghosts directly broke through the wall and slashed at him with their wild swords.

Mizutani Makoto raised his middle finger at them.

Ending: [Both sides are men! ]

Makoto Mizutani got up from under the cherry tree and had a new idea this time.

"It's time to find a new NPC."

He glanced at the exploration level of the map. Unknowingly, he had already explored 21% of the map of Private Hiiragiyama Academy.

But there are still many places left to visit.

Relying on the souls he had gained for seven days, Mizutani Makoto went straight to the front of the gymnasium and found Kurosawa Ryohito, who was like a gatekeeper.

He had said before that before Mizutani Makoto, two strangers had entered this crevice. One of them was a shrine maiden who died in the crevice and her residual soul was still wandering in the crevice.

Considering her identity as a "shrine maiden", Makoto Mizutani felt that she was most likely an important NPC.

"1000 souls, take it, and tell me her current condition."

After receiving the 1000 souls from Mizutani Makoto, Kurosawa Ryojin immediately smiled with joy, but it must be said that there were scars from fire burns on his face, and his smile now looked a bit scary.

This old acquaintance of his looks is so good that he can even make a cameo appearance in a horror movie.

Kurosawa Ryojin coughed lightly and began to tell Mizutani Makoto the story of the shrine maiden in his low and hoarse voice.

"Her name is Furuya Ruriko."

"Thirty-seven years ago, she came to this crevice and went to its deepest point."

"She must have come here to close this rift, but obviously, she failed... I don't know what happened to her, but now only a faint remnant of her remains, lingering at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the school building."

Kurosawa Ryojin described the location of the shrine maiden and emphasized that "the shrine maiden seemed to have lost important memories", which made Mizutani Makoto feel that there was a reward to be found.

Soul: 4124

Mizutani Makoto took a look and found that this was the soul that was left of him.

This is his little piggy bank for seven days.

"By the way, I also bought your candlestick."

Spend 3000 souls to purchase a candlestick that can illuminate the "hidden footprints" and trigger hidden rewards.

【Kurosawa's Candlestick】

Description: This candlestick, often used by Kurosawa Ryoujin to illuminate objects while collecting items, has acquired a special essence related to "Private Hiiragigaoka Academy." When used within the Private Hiiragigaoka Academy, it can illuminate previously invisible objects.

【Comment: This candlestick of mine can see through all darkness.】

Soul: 1124

Mizutani Makoto's eyes swept over the "Principal's Key" again. This prop worth 5000 souls was tempting, but he couldn't afford it now.

Now it’s time to get down to business.

But before leaving, Mizutani Makoto suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

"You said before that two strangers had entered the crevice. Since the witch unfortunately died, what about the other stranger? What happened to that person?"

Kurosawa Ryohito showed a hesitant expression.

He raised his head, staring at the abyss above the crack in the sky, and couldn't help swallowing.

"……What's wrong?"

Mizutani Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly.

Kurosawa Ryojin stammered, "That person... has already left the crevice."

Mizutani Makoto was shocked: "He left alive?"

He also realized that there was something fishy going on, so he asked, "How much souls is that person's information worth?"

Kurosawa Ryojin shook his head like a rattle: "Brother, this is not for sale..."

I was shocked. How could this profiteer who valued souls as his life be made to keep silent?

Makoto Mizutani did not make things difficult for Kurosawa Ryohito.

After noting this information, he headed towards the school building.

I have mentioned the layout of the private Hiiragigaoka Academy before. This place has a design that is quite opposite to the real Yami High School. Leaving the main teaching building, the cafeteria is on the right. There is a corridor in the cafeteria that leads all the way to the school building, but there is also a road from the outside that bypasses the cafeteria and leads to the school building.

With an exploratory attitude, Mizutani Makoto chose to open a cafeteria.

"Well……"

Yoshiko Satori lay on Mizutani Makoto's shoulder the whole time, staring at his face.

"Is there something on my face?"

"No, but big brother's expression right now is so sinister."

Mizutani Makoto coughed lightly and defended himself, "I'm just happy."

He vaguely remembered that when he first entered the crevice and planned to open the map, he was beaten by a group of JK girls here, and finally ended up with a tragic ending of "four people died happily".

Now that he has mastered some magical skills, he can kill the miscellaneous soldiers with his two swords as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Miss JK, who once annoyed him so much, can now be killed by his sword with just one move of the cassock.

He's here for revenge!

The abbot is narrow-minded. None of the guys in his little notebook can escape!

When you step into the cafeteria, you can see a large number of JK ladies on the arranged student tables and chairs. Most of them are just a few pairs of beautiful legs gathered together. In a few small groups, you can see TekeTeke's real body, that is, the severed upper body of JK lady.

Today is different from the past!

The moment he held the two swords, Mizutani Makoto finally found the correct posture for soul-wandering and pioneering.

Yes, in a game like Soul Travel, apart from some insidious first-sight kills, who would be stuck by monsters all the time?

As long as you cross the threshold and hold a sword that can kill the enemy in your hand, then advancing the map and opening up new land will become a matter of course.

snort!

Now, in Mizutani Makoto's eyes, Miss JK is sitting at the same table with the monk Dizang next door.

I see Miss JK, it's like putting her head up for sale!

Soul +21

Soul +32

Amidst the pop-up windows, Mizutani Makoto spent his time clearing out all the JK ladies who were holding a women's tea party on the first floor of the cafeteria. He thought he would encounter other new monsters, but he didn't expect that the cafeteria really had a lot of simple monsters.

Then, enter the garbage picking stage. In this place, there are two items that can be picked up, both of which are consumables.

【Specially provided nutritious meals】

[Description: Curry rice in an iron lunch box. After heating, it emits a wonderful aroma. Eating it can restore health. There is a low chance of hallucinations. The probability increases with continuous consumption.]

[Comment: Oh my god, why are there subtitles when you speak?]

【Refreshing Miso Soup】

[Description: A viscous liquid accumulated in a soup bowl. It makes a strange thumping sound when shaken. Consuming it restores spiritual power and has a low chance of causing hallucinations. The chance increases with continuous consumption.]

【Evaluation: Let’s catch the villain together～】

"..."

The hallucination of the groove!

Mizutani Makoto looked at this thing. It had no color, aroma or taste. It was just a piece of dark cuisine. He broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Your cafeteria has a really rich food scene."

Put things away.

He didn't want to touch this thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

Continue exploring the map.

At the stairs on the second floor of the cafeteria, Mizutani Makoto looked inside and saw that the seats were packed with JK ladies, so full that even a dog would shake his head.

"Monsters are piled up like this?"

The window girl's eyeball has 6 uses left.

After all, he was beaten up by a group of JK ladies and was often attacked from both sides, so Mizutani Makoto's spiritual power was consumed very quickly. Now he only had 6 times left, which was obviously not enough to clear the second floor of the cafeteria.

Returning to the first floor, Mizutani Makoto suddenly remembered that he had just bought a candlestick. Has he used it yet?

The faint candlelight suddenly illuminated the dark cafeteria.

Yoshiko Satori hugged Mizutani Makoto's arm tightly. Mizutani Makoto held up the "Kurosawa Yoshihito's Candlestick". Under the light of the candle, traces of footprints appeared on the floor near the cafeteria window.

The footprints were imprinted on the floor, emitting a mysterious phosphorescent glow.

"It really does."

Following the footprints, Mizutani Makoto sneaked into the back kitchen area of ​​the cafeteria again. At the end of the kitchen, he kicked away a torn carpet and found a place similar to the entrance to the basement.

There was a barrier blocking the way.

"Isn't this place too hidden?"

Cunning villain!

If there were no candlesticks, we would have to dig deep into the ground to find this hidden route!

Even though Satori Yoshiko can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, this ability is more used to judge fortune and misfortune, rather than being an all-purpose skill.

Mizutani Makoto bent down to lift the floor, but a window popped up in front of him.

Missing Key

Mizutani Makoto frowned slightly.

He is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt.

"Jiazi, please step back first."
