I am recycling settings in the anime

Of course, out of concern for Manager Fang Yi’s somewhat eccentric personality, she still brought her best friend along!

"There really is everything to buy here, don't you think, Jianzi?"

Yotsuya Miko looked at her best friend, Yurikawa Hana, whose arms were full of dolls, especially when she was showing her what she bought. The expression on her face was very subtle, and then... she glanced at the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

Of course, this thing was not bought from Fang Yi’s store.

On the way, she also came across many stores selling exorcism props, so she bought some by the way.

It’s really not that she has too much money and has nowhere to spend it, she’s just simply worried about encountering a situation like the previous one on the road.

Moreover, my best friend Xiaohua had mentioned some exorcism shops to me before, so I decided to give it a try to see if it would work. Although this action, in a sense, has a bit of self-abandonment in it.

"You bought some more dolls. If I remember correctly, you've already bought quite a few, haven't you?"

"It only looks cute when there are a ton of them, right? Just one or two doesn't make it look cute at all!"

As he spoke, Xiaohua also looked at the large string of Buddhist beads that Yotsuya Miko bought.

"Besides, Jianzi, didn't you also buy four strings of Buddhist beads? You wear one on each hand."

"Don't Buddhist beads look impressive if you buy more of them?"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but mutter this and slowly walked into a small alley.

If I remember correctly, Manager Fang Yi's shop is in this direction.

However, when she looked up, the extremely deep darkness made Yotsuya Miko's body tremble uncontrollably.

The evil spirits covered with twisted dark aura have already turned their gazes in his direction.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yotsuya Miko's face suddenly became very gloomy, and drops of cold sweat began to flow from her forehead.

Xiaohua, who was standing next to Yotsuya Miko, didn't notice anything unusual about her best friend at all, and just ran to the side of the alley.

However, when she was halfway there, she realized that her best friend did not come over, and she couldn't help but look back.

"Jianzi, what are you doing? Hurry up!"

I already have Buddhist beads! I already have Buddhist beads! I already have Buddhist beads!

Keeping telling herself this in her mind, Yotsuya Miko walked into the alley with extremely stiff steps.

Then, she walked in front of a burly evil ghost, and the Buddhist beads in her hand suddenly flashed with white light.

With a loud clatter, the Buddhist beads in Yotsuya Miko's hand suddenly scattered all over the ground, causing Yotsuya Miko's body to completely freeze in place.

Looking at the Buddhist beads flying in all directions and then scattered on the ground, Yotsuya Miko seemed to hear their voices.

—We can't win! Everyone, disperse! Let's run away separately!

"Hey! Jianzi, why are you crying? Are you feeling hurt because of the Buddhist beads? That store where you buy the beads is really too much. They actually sold counterfeit and shoddy products to you. Let's find the store manager and have a fight with him right now!"

Having said that, Xiaohua grabbed Yotsuya Miko's hand and planned to run to the other side of the alley.

However, Yotsuya Miko's legs seemed to be stuck in place, and no matter how Xiaohua pulled, she refused to move.

With a mechanical smile, Yotsuya Miko turned around and looked at Xiaohua, and spoke word by word.

"Xiaohua, let's go quickly. I'm afraid Manager Fang Yi's store is closed!"

"But didn't we just finish breakfast?"

"let's go--"

"...Yeah! Let's go!"

For some reason, she felt unexpectedly oppressive when she saw him now.

Yotsuya Kenko's pace unconsciously became faster, so fast that Xiaohua could hardly keep up with her.

Gradually, the girl came to a shop. The old sign had been there for who knows how many years, but the font on it was like handwritten characters that could be remembered once seen, so powerful and forceful.

——Exorcist Grocery Store!

This is the name of this store, and it is exactly the same as the store name written on the piece of paper that I remember.

However, the store was not open yet, which made Yotsuya Miko scratch her head.

Does Manager Fang Yi open the shop very late every day? Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but think so.

CRACK——————————————————!

As if in response to the arrival of the customers, the door of the grocery store gradually opened.

This also made Yotsuya Miko and Xiaohua unable to help but look over, with curiosity in their eyes.

Unlike the old scenes seen outside, the things placed inside are full of a strong sense of newness.

"I didn't expect to have guests so early in the morning. Two beautiful guests, please come in!"

A clear and pleasant voice sounded slowly, causing the two to look over subconsciously, and then... lowered their heads slightly.

The girl who looked a little shorter than him and the others gradually came into view.

Seeing that it was a strange figure, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but mutter this.

"Isn't this store owned by Fang Yi?"

"The owner is not in the store right now. He left early this morning. I am in charge of the store now."

Although Yotsuya Miko's voice was very soft, Kotoko could still hear it clearly. She answered and took the initiative to walk inside.

"My name is Iwanaga Kotoko. You can call me Kotoko. Of course, if you don't mind, you can also call me Senior. After all, I'm also a college student. If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be in high school, right? Calling me Senior is fine."

"A...a college student? Is this true?"

"Yotani Miko-san, and this person over here, your looks are very rude! I'm just petite!"

Frightened by Iwanaga Kotoko's words, Jianzi and Xiaohua subconsciously covered their mouths.

However, Iwanaga Kotoko still gave a little warning. Although she was used to being looked down upon because of her figure, it didn't mean she liked it. Of course, she wasn't particularly dissatisfied with her figure. At least one curator seemed to like it, saying it was comfortable to hold in his arms and use as a pillow at night...

"Sorry, Iwanaga-senpai! I was rude just now!"

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Kenko quickly said something apologetically, saying that it was really rude to treat someone you met for the first time in this way. So, after being reminded by Iwanaga Kotoko, she was a little flustered.

Xiaohua also quickly apologized. She was indeed a little slow, but she was definitely not impolite.

"Iwanaga-senpai, you don't have to be so polite. Well, let's just leave it at that."

Although she felt that the other party was too polite, after noticing the other party's somewhat restrained attitude, Iwanaga Kotoko did not say anything. She just chuckled and silently passed over the topic.

"By the way, how did Iwanaga-senpai know my name?"

"Before he left, the owner told me that a classmate named Yotsuya Miko would be visiting him today! So I got up early today to take charge of entertaining the guests. If it weren't for this, I would definitely still be lying in the owner's bed right now!"

In an instant, Jianzi and Xiaohua stopped.

Wait! Did they hear something incredible?

Lying on Manager Fang Yi's bed and refusing to get up? In other words...

Senior Iwanaga and store manager Fang Yi are... boyfriend and girlfriend?

The taste of store manager Fang Yi seems a bit special!

Chapter 11: This brick-based method of exorcising ghosts is not only highly harmful, but also extremely insulting!

"Wow... There are so many exorcism tools here, mahogany daggers, silver nails, amulets, Buddhist beads..."

Looking at the things on the counter, Xiaohua's face was full of surprise.

It's not like she hasn't seen shops that specialize in these things before. For example, shops that sell warding off evil spirits mostly sell things like Buddhist beads, while amulets are more likely to be found in shrines. But it's really rare to find a shop that has such a wide variety of items like this one.

What's more, I remember that silver products are used to deal with vampires, right?

Why are there things to kill vampires here?

However, Yotsuya Miko didn't find it strange. Isn't it normal for a powerful exorcist like Fang Yi to have such a thing?

She had actually seen Fang Yi exorcising demons, so she had great trust in these things.

However, she felt a little disappointed as she didn't expect Fang Yi was not here.

"Has Manager Fang Yi gone out so early?"

"There's nothing we can do about it when work comes knocking on our doorsteps, just like Yotsuya Miko-san coming to see the gym owner so early!"

As she said this, Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Yotsuya Miko meaningfully, causing Yotsuya Miko to shrink her head guiltily.

She felt that the senior sister Iwanaga in front of her seemed to know her specialness.

She glanced at her best friend Xiaohua and saw her looking at the interior of the store with curiosity. She seemed to be very interested in the things in the store, which made Yotsuya Miko breathe a sigh of relief, and then she moved closer to Iwanaga Kotoko.

"Does Senior Iwanaga also know about me? Did Manager Fang Yi tell you?"

"I've been following Yotsuya Miko-san for a long time. After all, Yotsuya Miko-san has a pair of very special eyes!"

"Iwanaga-senpai knows that I can see it, so could it be that Iwanaga-senpai can see it too…"

As she spoke, she seemed a little hesitant and glanced around subconsciously.

Seeing this, Iwanaga Kotoko waved her hand and said something comforting.

"Don't worry. This store is the least likely place for vengeful spirits to appear. Just the things on the counter are enough to keep them away, so there's no need to be so cautious with your words. As for me..."

"I've been on this side for a long time, so of course I can see it. It's nothing special!"

Even at a young age, she was no longer a human being.

Not to mention being able to see, those evil spirits can ignore those rules and touch themselves directly.

In a sense, her situation is much more dangerous than that of Yotsuya Miko.

However, those evil spirits are not as dangerous as the monsters around Iwanaga Kotoko.

Although the monsters around Kotoko have average combat power, at least they will not lose to these vengeful spirits and evil spirits.

Most of the monsters around Kotoko are beings that people have lost their reverence or faith in in modern times. Even the gods who once ruled a region respectfully call her Her Royal Highness the Princess. Those evil spirits cannot hurt her at all. Moreover, she always knows when to do something, at least she will not easily put herself in a dangerous situation. The "Predator" incident half a month ago was an exception.

Who knew such monsters existed in this world?

"But why is Iwanaga-senpai always watching me? It seems like there's nothing special about me besides being able to see!"

"Don't be so self-deprecating, Yotsuya Miko-san. Whether it's the people around you or your own eyes, they are all very special!"

She is not only a "princess" in the eyes of the monsters, but also the "guardian of order" of this world.

Therefore, she does not allow monsters to go out and scare people. Generally speaking, this girl is not a messenger of the laws of the human world, but she can prevent humans and monsters from interfering with each other - monsters cannot scare people, and people cannot make things difficult for monsters.

It is precisely because of this that she cares so much about the girl Yotsuya Miko.

This girl has already stepped half a foot into the realm of weirdness.

"Yotani Miko-san is able to see those evil spirits. If they even know you can see them, they'll break free from the boundary between the living and the dead and attack the living, Yotani Miko-san directly. It's precisely to avoid such vicious attacks that I've been secretly observing what's happening around Yotani Miko-san."

"But I didn't expect that the gym leader had saved Yotsuya Miko-san before. What a coincidence!"

Of course, she didn't say that it was she who recommended Fang Yi to go find Yotsuya Jianzi.

Since Yotsuya Miko is so grateful to her boyfriend, Iwanaga Kotoko doesn't mind giving this favor to her boyfriend. Although she has been complaining about the things between the owner and Yotsuya Miko before, she still trusts the owner very much. If they don't even have this little trust, how could the two of them have come this far.

"I see. Thank you for troubling me, Iwanaga-senpai."

"What's the trouble? This is my job!"

Yotsuya Miko felt that the communication between her and Iwanaga-senpai was very easy. Perhaps it was because although Iwanaga-senpai was a college student, her body shape did not give her the oppressive feeling of other seniors, so she was able to chat with her quickly.

They even started chatting and talked about Fang Yi.

According to Senior Iwanaga, Manager Fang Yi had something to do this morning because he received a commission yesterday.

Manager Fang Yi got up early and rushed over without even having breakfast.

However, when Iwanaga-senpai mentioned breakfast, her face was full of smiles.

After noticing that there were still some crumbs around Kotoko's mouth, Yotsuya Miko understood.

It seems that she is in a good mood because she has eaten the loving breakfast that Manager Fang Yi made for Senior Iwanaga.

The relationship between Manager Fang Yi and Senior Iwanaga is really good! The girl sighed in her heart.

"By the way, Iwanaga-senpai, those things on the counter that look like exorcism tools should be genuine and can actually exorcise demons, right? I want to buy a few more to wear on myself. Oh, and I'd better prepare some for Xiaohua, too!"

Without continuing to talk about anything else, Yotsuya Miko changed the topic back to her original purpose. She did not forget the main purpose of her coming here.
