I don't keep a diary, I only spoil life.

The teacher spoke those unusually cold words in the gentlest tone.

"I!?"

Yotsuya Miko pointed to herself, utterly horrified. "Is this even human language?"

“That’s right, don’t you have Buddhist prayer beads?” Li Yinguang said matter-of-factly.

These words stunned Jianzi. Li Yinguang, who had been nodding repeatedly in his sight, suddenly became repulsive, transforming from a round-headed old man into a cunning clown with a sly smile.

He deliberately tricked her into coming here, he must have secretly bought her a bunch of insurance policies, planning to kill her so he could claim the insurance and secretly inherit her Alipay Huabei account!

Pick up Buddhist prayer beads to fight off evil spirits or something.

Seeing the darkness in his eyes.

Despite harboring many complaints, his wandering gaze unconsciously focused on the group of evil spirits lingering in the inner alley.

Lower your head again.

The hand that was pressed against his heart moved to touch the rosary beads engraved with Buddhist scriptures.

As she held the prayer beads firmly in her palm, another surprising moment occurred: she could faintly hear strange sounds coming from her ears.

Rather than a sound, it was more like some kind of obscure and incomprehensible incantation, from the divine universe tens of millions of light-years away, instilling in her brain a command code that even a novice trial-stage divine being could not resist.

The meaning of that sound is...

"Can you hear the sound of the prayer beads?" At this moment, Li Yinguang's loud voice came. But it was far less noisy than before, instead it was ethereal and had a divine feel to it.

"I heard you, Master!"

This time, seeing Zi suddenly understand, the faint voice in her ear became clearer and clearer, and she was able to pronounce each word completely.

That is--

"It says it's okay to go in."

With those words, the girl mustered her courage and took firm steps, embarking on the path of advancement with a sense of resolve.

Witnessing this scene, Li Yinguang was overjoyed and clapped his hands in satisfaction. Looking at Jianzi's back, it was as if he were reliving the path he had taken.

“You are a promising young man. In this way, the Buddhist beads that I specially went to a sacred Buddhist site to find and entrusted to you will not have been wasted.”

"..."

Did the old man say something strange?

Seeing that Zi almost stumbled, but still managed to steady himself, he looked at the evil spirits that were so close yet unable to move, and felt a pang of hesitation.

The immense pressure made Yotsuya Miko recall the first time she killed a cockroach. It happened when she was in kindergarten. While her friends were screaming in terror as cockroaches flew into their faces, she mustered up the courage to slap one of them in the face with a newspaper, cockroach and all.

Now it's her turn to face the evil spirit, more terrifying than a cockroach, all alone.

Although the two situations are completely different, what is there to be afraid of when you have a teacher who is definitely stronger than an evil spirit by your side?

Thinking of this, Jianzi hesitated for a moment, but gradually mustered up her courage. In just a few seconds, she imagined many things.

final;

She hesitated before reaching out.

The Buddhist prayer beads, which emitted a mysterious glow when illuminated, were coated with a deep and mysterious purplish-black color in this dark region.

At the very moment the hand was reached out, a scream rang out.

This contradicts the violent reality created by the beatings and hammering of Zawarudo.

The evil spirit touched by the shimmering light on the surface of the Buddhist beads was like a vampire in the Monogatari series being touched by sunlight, its body engulfed in fierce purple-black flames, howling incessantly, and dancing wildly in a bar.

Faith-based salvation is always the best way to eliminate supernatural phenomena; these evil spirits bound by worldly constraints should have been eliminated long ago.

The evil spirit that happened to be blocking Jianzi's way was like a bubble, completely annihilated under the glow of the Buddhist beads!

Seeing that Zi seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the fear disappeared. Instead, he turned his gaze to another evil spirit that was closer.

He raised the prayer beads again, reached out towards them, and this elicited another wail.

Li Yinguang witnessed this scene and, seeing his beloved disciple gradually becoming adept at slaying evil spirits, nodded with satisfaction.

He certainly knew that it was naive to let a young, inexperienced girl fight against evil spirits all by herself.

But there was nothing they could do; it was all the magical conch's choice.

The item [Magic Conch] was the Shock Points reward he received yesterday for writing a lengthy critique of Hope's Peak. It looks like an ordinary conch shell with a wind-up spring at the back.

The system description says that this reward is used by asking a question and then pulling the button to get the correct answer. It can only be used once a day.

At first glance, it seems like a powerful causal prop, but upon closer inspection, Li Yinguang felt it was rather unreliable. After all, he had asked the system, "How can I make my reputation soar?" And now... he had been assigned by the magical conch to cleanse evil spirits in this wretched place?

Therefore, while witnessing Jianzi's valiant actions, Li Yinguang, who was somewhat worried about whether all of this was meaningful, began to have second thoughts and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"System, you bastard, you didn't create this stupid magical conch shell on purpose just to prank me, did you?"

[Please remain polite, host. The system rewards are infallible. The answer to the Mysterious Conch Shell is like the choice made in Steins;Gate.]

"That is to say?"

[Please rest assured, host. I am the kindest system in the world. By the way, the analysis you asked me to do about the Wakaba Mutsumi family issues has been completed.]

"What's wrong now? Why are you suddenly talking about Ruoye Mu? Didn't she just go to training with Xiaoxiang?"

[It wasn't training; Ruo Yemu was simply taken home. After her mother gave her a lecture about "it's for your own good," her mood plummeted again.]

"..."

Li Yinguang was speechless upon hearing this, feeling that his diary entries had been written in vain and wondering why the clumsy Xiao Xiang was of no use at all.

"Xiang, she's just watching. Does that mean she's betrayed us again?"

No, she was turned away by Mu's mother, who implied that it was best not to meet again in the near future. It can only be said that fate is correcting a wrong course; Mu's mother is determined not to allow anyone to harm her daughter's business future.

"..."

This time, it was Li Yinguang's turn to remain silent. He had considered how to deal with Senmina and Ruoye Longwen, those two deadbeat parents, but seeing that they hadn't made any moves, he didn't do anything.

I didn't expect them to be causing trouble before, but now they're playing pranks?

This makes one sigh: "Mother Mu is truly a fool. It can only be said that Xiang, Xiang and Mu together cannot form a living mother. It is estimated that only if Xiangzi leads the team with the imperial edict from Fengchuan and takes Mu's headman on the road to commercial success can Mother Mu wash her hands of this matter."

"But the problem is that the intelligence agents' skill level is a bit..."

At this point, Li Yinguang felt it would be impolite to continue complaining, since the bass is a dispensable part of a band.

However, how should I put it... since Old Mother Mu is disregarding martial ethics and trying to disrupt my emotional manipulation of the diary holders, I really have to resort to Homelander form to have a go at her now.

"It can only be said that Xiao Mu's pitiful state is due to choosing the wrong school. She came to Gaoyu for a few years of further study, and when she runs into her own mother, she gets punched!"

The same old story: Li Yinguang is still so passionate about advanced education. Does he even understand what the "glass ceiling" means for abusing power for personal gain?

Look at Sakayanagi, the sickly student in Class A of the first year. He can't even walk properly. Even if he could graduate from Class A, he definitely wouldn't go and become a working person. In the end, he still manages to choose the best class, occupy a spot, and start an internal war, corrupting a group of students.

All I can say is that Mr. Sakayanagi's fatherly love is so profound that it almost blows Wakaba Mutsumi's parents' minds.

It would be really interesting if the new recruits this year were 160 male and female main characters and supporting characters from various anime series, but unfortunately, that can't be changed.

However, instead of dwelling on the future, focus on the present, my dear host. Please shift your gaze to the right at a 45-degree angle; a miracle awaits you there.

"Oh? Then I'll have to take a look."

Li Yinguang remained noncommittal, raising his head to look ahead.

Just moments before, Yotsuya Miko had been so proud and arrogant, but now her face was deathly pale, and her mind went blank.

Nearby, a malevolent spirit dressed in straitjackets and chained up remained unmoved despite the Buddhist prayer beads being used for deliverance.

Huh? Uso!

Am I not an exorcism expert?

Why, why... are the prayer beads completely useless?

This sudden change left Yotsuya Miko bewildered, her small hands tightly gripping the prayer beads in her palms.

The evil spirit, sensing the presence, dared to approach, and a dark and terrifying sense of foreboding gradually enveloped the girl.

This was clearly a man-made adversity, prompting Yotsuya Miko to quickly turn her gaze toward Li Yinguang, as if she wanted to say something.

A golden jab, accompanied by a powerful "Mu Da!", slammed into the evil spirit's head.

With a loud bang, the high-level evil spirit that had ignored the prayer beads was beaten down to half a face, resembling Whitebeard from the Marineford War.

Then, as a pair of Air Jordans appeared on camera, the strange man wearing a tokusatsu mask walked onto the stage and uttered a harsh but reassuring statement that made Miko feel at ease.

"You were very arrogant, you stray dog, before I came on the field."

"If I didn't care about my AJ shoes, I would have kicked you already!"

Like a frantic, round-headed old man, Li Yinguang glared angrily at the evil spirit that had nearly scared his beloved disciple to death. While lamenting that these cheap Buddhist beads were indeed ineffective, he delivered a punch that completely annihilated the evil spirit.

Then, looking down at Jianzi, whose eyes were brimming with tears again, Li Yinguang had no choice but to drop his divine persona and reach out to gently stroke her forehead, as if he were playing with a basketball.

This wasn't a random, aimless stroking, but rather a gentle, soothing touch, much like when I treated Wakaba Mutsu last time, as if I were gently rubbing a dog's head.

Seeing this, I felt ashamed.

I had previously been researching how to deal with round-headed old people.

As it turns out, in front of this masked senior, I am the little animal that needs to be taken care of.

Immediately, some strange emotions welled up in my heart.

It was a sense of relief and ease, mixed with the joy of successfully exorcising the evil spirit.

For dozens of days, the young girl walked on thin ice, constantly on edge and afraid to have any contact with those terrifying things.

Fortunately, the family was protected by the old man and the evil horse-headed spirit, and there were no terrifying creatures around.

But—who could have imagined that one day they would not be chased by evil spirits, but would actively fight them?

Thinking of all this, Yotsuya Miko smiled again, and instead became eager to try and punish the evil spirits that might continue to appear, even taking the initiative to ask—

"master."

"Ok?"

"Can we really find people who need to be exorcised from evil spirits?"

"Well... let me ask?"

"Huh? What do you mean by 'ask'?"

Seeing that the child did not understand, he became more serious and pressed for an explanation.

"Um.."

Li Yinguang pondered for a moment.

His gaze kept wandering.

In the end, he couldn't stand the other person's gaze any longer.

He reached into his pocket and, under Jianzi's increasingly curious gaze, pulled out the magical conch shell.

"Master, what are you doing?"

The girl asked cautiously.

Li Yinguang remained silent, patted the conch shell, spun a message, and then spoke.

"The magical conch shell! Do you know how long it will take for the people who can make me famous to arrive?"

Yotsuya Miko: "...."

That thing looks like an ordinary seashell, how could it be...?

[On the road... now~~]

Suddenly, just as Jianzi was about to ask a question with surprise, a miracle occurred: a sweet and gentle sound actually came out of the conch shell.

"Did you hear that? They're on their way." At the same time, Li Yinguang's confident and certain reply rang in her ears, and all of this made the girl lose her senses.

Could it be that this conch shell is some kind of strange contraption?

Or perhaps, this place is truly a wondrous place that can refresh the client?

Just as Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but mutter to herself;

She stared intently at the corner in the distance, and suddenly discovered a beautiful girl with short white hair there.
