You say this is a love game?

Men's kimonos naturally do not have the "large furisode" style. For example, the one that Mizutani Makoto is wearing now is a more standard Montsuke haori hakama, which consists of four parts: undergarment, kimono, haori, and hakama. The undergarment is the middle garment, and the large furisode kimono is worn on the outside, which is the layer of clothing outside the undergarment. The outermost layer is a haori, but the embroidery is not the family crest, but the thriving Karamatsu.

Makoto Mizutani was amazed as he walked on the wooden clogs.

His current image is quite similar to that of a young samurai in anime, and he has inherited all of Satori Yoshiko's sense of luxury.

Let me think, a young man in fine clothes and riding a vigorous horse?

Mizutani Makoto sighed, but beautiful clothes are liked by everyone after all. No matter whether they are men or women, their reactions are similar when they see clothes they like. The reason why they are not tempted is probably because their aesthetic taste does not match.

It’s like the white armor worn by Dong Ge and the King of Western Chu, which is guaranteed to kill men.

"Go test the waters."

Don't say it.

The young warrior in haori stepped into the dojo with steady and light steps. Compared to his previous casual and even reckless appearance when he came to challenge the dojo wearing a long-sleeved jacket, he now obviously has a stronger sense of ritual that comes from time travel, and his whole body exudes the breath of ancient beauty.

The haori swayed gently with his movements.

Standing on the wooden floor of the dojo, the young warrior bowed slightly and drew his two swords from their sheaths on both sides.

He is like a sword that has been polished to an extremely sharp edge and is now looking for a whetstone.

With my numerical value, I can combine the mechanism of Nizaoshiki!

Now I am at the peak of the Paper Level, half a step to the Great Perfection, who can kill me?!

Mizutani Makoto raised his two swords, his eyes as sharp as torches, fixed firmly on the kendo apprentices swarming towards him.

This battle was a completely one-sided massacre.

Holding two swords, he rushed to the third floor of the dojo with an absolutely domineering attitude, killing the four sword ghosts in succession. This time, his dance felt extremely smooth.

Now, his sword is stained with a powerful curse.

Every time you swing your sword, as long as you can hit the enemy, you will give the enemy a "lucky judgment". If your luck is a little worse, he will have to take a hit - choose one of the three: poisoning, fatigue, and bone-crushing happiness. If you are unlucky, you will be hit three times in a row, and even three debuffs will be added!

Simply.

It's so sinister!

But this time, Makoto Mizutani did not meet Master Kitajima.

After killing the Four-Directional Sword Ghost, he knelt on the ground, holding his chest. His heart in his chest was pumping at an unprecedented speed, forcibly squeezing out blood to supply all parts of his body.

My life is about to come to an end.

Mizutani Makoto tried his best to save his life.

However, no matter how hard he tried, his vitality still slipped through his fingers like sand. The more he tried to hold on tighter, the faster the vitality slipped away.

His heartbeat gradually slowed down, and the world before his eyes began to blur... In the dimness, the only sound in his world was the heartbeat. Eventually, even the heartbeat became blurred, like the dull sound of drums coming from afar, getting weaker and weaker until it was almost inaudible.

He was swallowed by the darkness in the dojo and fell to the third floor.

【Ending: Will you follow me through life and death? 】

Under the gaze of Furuya Ruriko, Mizutani Makoto opened his eyes in the chair.

"The safe time is ten minutes."

Mizutani Makoto thought secretly.

Just now, he had intended to test the limits of this secret method, and in the end he actually succeeded.

The essence of this secret technique is to use oneself as a container for ghosts and gods, so Mizutani Makoto's "capacity" plays a decisive role.

This "capacity" is determined by two attributes: physical strength and spiritual strength.

As a container for ghosts and gods, Makoto Mizutani will be "damaged" after accommodating ghosts and gods with yin and yang differences for a long time. At this time, he must release the secret method.

Of course, it is okay not to remove it, but it will gradually cause irreversible damage.

And because the vitality has been infiltrated by ghosts and gods and gradually separated from the body, the increase brought by the fusion will become smaller and smaller as one thing increases while the other decreases. After finally crossing a certain boundary, the body will irreversibly decline and die from the backlash of the secret technique.

After all, humans and ghosts and gods are not on the same path.

Just like people shouldn't weed monsters.

Makoto Mizutani can use the power of ghosts and gods to raise his own upper limit, but he cannot maintain this state forever.

"In the real world, this secret method cannot be used casually."

"But in the rifts, death isn't a problem. If used to open up new land, this magical power is actually quite useful."

Mizutani Makoto understood.

This move "Command the Gods and Summon the Spirits" is most likely a special skill for elite monsters and BOSSes. It is a complete waste to use it on small monsters, and it cannot bring out the ability of Yoshiko Satori's "Cursed Disease Coat" - this move is specifically designed to fight against BOSSes with high defense and thick blood, and can even torture the opponent to death with poisoning, but it does not show its level when used on small monsters.

So, should I use this trick to find Mr. Bei Dao and test the waters?

Mizutani Makoto pondered for a moment, and a strange sense of expansion emerged in his heart.

Take another look at the backpack.

【Gorgeous Gold Box】

This golden treasure chest can withstand the slashing attack of Mr. Kitajima!

Then he cooperated with Kako to enter the state of "Yi Shen Jiang Ling Niu Za Shiki", and all physical attributes were corrected by +1. Then, relying on his body skills and "Zuki Bingao", and even brushing on "Huo Yi", he shook out "Disaster" without saying a word?

Wouldn't that make me invincible?

Oh, the biggest test here is Mizutani Makoto's physical skills. He thought about it and found that there was indeed a slight possibility, but he felt that the previous whetstone was not hard enough... Damn it, brothers, let's do it!

Taking the [Gorgeous Golden Box], I went to challenge Master Beidao.

His ideas are quite complete.

Mr. Kitajima was indeed fully armored, but the profession of a samurai was to kill people with a sword, and Mr. Kitajima actually only had a sword. If he could use this box to block or even jam Mr. Kitajima's sword at the critical moment, then he would still have a slim chance.

Then, Mizutani Makoto was killed at the speed of light.

"What a cruel knife!"

When he opened his eyes next to Furuya Ruriko, Mizutani Makoto still had a look of astonishment on his face.

Facts have proved that a good blacksmith must be strong himself.

Mizutani Makoto's physical strength was not good enough, so he used the gold box to surprise Kitajima, successfully shaking off Kitajima's sword and finding a split second of opportunity. Mizutani Makoto instantly cut the sword, and slashed with the wild sword in his hand. When Kitajima staggered, the sword slashed on his armor, successfully leaving a deep knife mark.

The defense was broken, but no blood was lost!

He swung his sword, but couldn't even cut Bei Dao's flesh and blood!

At this time, Kitajima had already adjusted his stance, and the large sword in his hand slashed towards him like thunder.

He was in the posture of "commanding the gods and descending spirits", but he could not withstand the violent slashing attack.

Body movement?

There is no room for his body movement.

He even felt that Mr. Bei Dao did not seem to be "inferior".

This information was verified by Kurosawa Yoshihito.

He had previously purchased information about the kendo club's dojo from Kurosawa Ryohito, so Kurosawa Ryohito did not charge him a second time. Instead, he provided him with the follow-up information that he had not finished at the time.

"The master at the top of the tower?"

"He's a mid-level warrior, and he's connected to the sacrificial sword. Even if you can seriously injure him, you'll probably still have to face the sacrificial sword..."

"what do you mean?"

"He has a second form."

Kurosawa Ryojin coughed lightly, and his words were concise and to the point.

"Young man, don't be too ambitious. Why don't you first improve your strength to the level of the parallel rank before trying again?"

And! In! Position!

There's a second form?!

Mizutani Makoto completely gave up the idea and designated the top floor of the dojo as a restricted area.

Kendo Club Dojo...

From now on, he should look for good friends like Kendo Apprentice and Sword Ghost to play with. At least they treat him sincerely, and while bringing him happiness, they will also generously lend him their equipment.

Mizutani Makoto looked at the total number of souls. Regarding the 450 souls of the Seven Campus Ghost Stories, one piece of information...

There is still some distance to reach 10000 souls, so this little money is nothing.

"What about the Staircase Tales?"

"The thirteenth staircase? This ghost story isn't to be trifled with... It's mid-level, and you're familiar with its legend, right? Urban legends like these, with their many variations, generally have rather bizarre abilities. I don't recommend making it your first target."

"So, what about Hanako?"

"Um, Hanako-chan from the restroom?"

Kurosawa Ryohito looked thoughtful.

"As for Hanako, her situation is rather special... Normally, her combat power should be below the level of the ninja, but that child seems to have developed a special connection with this rift. Now her spiritual power has expanded to the upper level of the ninja. In a life-or-death struggle, she is even more terrifying than the master atop the dojo tower."

"what?"

Mizutani Makoto was shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on? Is this related to the 'special circumstances' you mentioned?"

"Yes, brother, you are very smart."

Kurosawa Ryojin sighed and said, "This child isn't just a ghost story... Are you still exploring the teaching building? If so, keep an eye out for the name 'Koizumi Hanako'. She's the protagonist of the story, Koizumi Hanako."

"I don't know what she went through, but in the end, she replaced the urban legend of 'Hanako-chan' as a vengeful spirit, becoming a murderous ghost story in the cracks, and she is so strong that it makes people feel strange."

"But, if I remember correctly, you should be able to find something in the school building to calm her resentment... If the resentment of the vengeful spirit is eliminated, it might be easier to deal with."

I understand, just like Tang Shizi, a BOSS weakening item.

In similar games, the strength of some BOSSes is designed to be too super-model, so there will be corresponding prop side quests to reduce the difficulty. As long as you complete the side quests and get the props, it will generally be easier to pass the level.

Then I have to ask you.

Do you want to get the Dingfengzhu before fighting the Yellow Wind Great Sage, or do you plan to be a real man and challenge yourself?

Let's put this matter aside for now and make a decision when he has the chance in the future.

"Is there no lower-ranked boss to defeat in your crack?"

Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I have."

Kurosawa Ryohito answered immediately.

"where is it?"

Mizutani Makoto immediately became alert.

Kurosawa Ryojin extended his hand towards him.

The boy's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lao Hei, you are taking a narrow path, do you know that?

Just for this 450 soul?

"Hey, don't be angry, little brother. I'm just running a small business. Besides, 450 souls shouldn't be a big deal to you..."

Humph, I think you are ready to die!

But to be honest, Mizutani Makoto didn't have many souls left, and he just asked for information about two bosses, "The Thirteenth Staircase" and "Hanako-chan in the Toilet". Now he only had a little over a hundred souls left. He really couldn't give the 450 souls that Kurosawa Ryojin asked for.

“If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it.”

"At worst, I'll find it myself!"

Mizutani Makoto thought that since he still had the task of clearing the map, it would be more cost-effective for him to clear the map and look for the BOSS at the same time.

Anyway, he just needs to know that there is a lower-level BOSS in this map that can be defeated!

If you go through all the private Hiiragigaoka Academy, you will definitely meet the boss you want.

The road is at your feet!
