Why are there only loser heroines around me?

【Is there any abnormality in your physical condition?】

【no】

Xiaoju's answers to the questionnaire were almost all "no." She briefly described her routine life in the supplementary explanation column at the end of the questionnaire.

Home, fencing hall, practicing fencing in the morning, taking a nap, writing, going to the fencing hall for extra practice in the evening, going home, continuing writing, and sleeping.

If she didn't have to stay up late every night because of lack of inspiration, her sleep and rest schedule would actually be quite regular.

Not everyone is as "lucky" as Yanami. He always encounters demons making trouble when he goes out, and he also picks up a strange cat that can kill mice.

Most people's lives are like Xiaoju's.

Volume 101: Chapter 4: A Little Test to See if We Can Become a Couple (K)

Although the people in the city are in a panic because of the devil's release, everyone has to go out to work. They can't even survive without making money. Most people in Japan don't have the habit of saving money. They spend the money they earn the same month, so they have to go out to work, but... they have changed from "going out on the street normally" to "going out on the street in fear."

Do what you normally do, and do it again after crossing into the demon world.

There was nothing worth reading in Komari's report. Ukyo clicked on the ugly cat photo that Yanami sent him. He thought it looked a bit like a picture in the "Cat Demon Research Report" that a psychic detective had posted on Twitter not long ago.

The detective was very generous and contributed the information he found unconditionally.

Among them is a kind of cat called the mandrill, a monster that lives near Kunlun Mountain in the country. It is huge in size and can grow to four or five meters when it reaches adulthood, which is larger than a lion. This cat monster has the body of a cat and the face of a mandrill. When it opens its mouth, you can see two fangs comparable to those of a saber-toothed tiger. Mandrills belong to the monkey family, so Yanaijian was not wrong to think that it had a monkey face.

She asked Ukyo if he had the Kikyo Seal, which specialized in collecting Shikigami, in order to see if he could collect the ugly cat as a Shikigami.

But the Platycodon seal doesn't work.

So Ukyo drew a new talisman for her. At first, he asked Laojun again, but it was useless. Ukyo privately chatted with Jiang Daoye in Taihang Mountain, and the other party drew a talisman of Li Tianwang holding a pagoda for Ukyo. Seeing this, Yanai successfully subdued the cat, but it could only be a "beast pet" and did not have the function of a shikigami possession.

Although everything seemed to be ready, Ukyo was still a little worried about the strange cat. In the "Research Report on Cat Demons", the mandrill was a very ferocious monster that liked to eat humans. He wanted to ask Yanami to come out and see if the mandrill had any desire to attack. If so, it would be better not to keep it around.

Yanai noticed that she had been asking him if he wanted to have dinner with her every day these days, like a human-machine telling the time.

You Jing never replied before, but today was an exception. He typed, "Bring your cat Xiao, choose a place, and meet at noon."

........

...

After one hour.

Right before Ukyo's eyes, steam was rising from the freshly made fried udon noodles.

He was sitting next to Yanami in an udon shop near the school.

The situation inside the school can be seen from this store. Several Onmyojis have clearly set up a large protective barrier, but for some reason, there are several Tang paper umbrella monsters jumping around inside the defensive barrier. The Onmyojis are trying to find ways to expel these small monsters, which are not very threatening but still pose a threat.

This thing is a type of Japanese tsukumogami, a type of youkai that emerges from abandoned objects over time. Yanami opened her phone's camera and zoomed in. She saw that the school's umbrella demon was black, holding a steel blade in mid-air. The shape of its umbrella resembled the large black umbrellas that Ukyo had long unused in the clubhouse.

Besides that there are many weird things...

For example, the broom in the class that had not been used for a long time turned into a monster.

A paper demon transformed from an old, unopened love letter.

There are also Tsukumogami that look like light bulbs, and...large rat spirits that watch the busy Onmyojis from a series of viewing spots such as exterior walls or windowsills.

She looked at the little monsters while placing her chopsticks horizontally in her palms, clasping her hands together and saying, "I'm starting to eat."

Youjing didn't have the habit of putting his hands together. The three of them rarely gathered at the same table to eat, so there was naturally no procedure of notifying each other before starting to eat. But he still said, "I'm starting too."

Yanami stuck his chopsticks into the plate and picked up a ball of fried noodles generously.

"I have some important news for Ukyo."

Yanami said as he chewed.

"what?"

"I successfully lost three kilograms this month!"

"Congratulations." Ukyo felt that this must be a lie, because girls always like to show off their lost weight, but the actual amount of weight loss often does not match the real data. Ukyo seemed to be complimenting, but in fact it was an irony. However, Yanajian, the person involved, did not hear it, and smiled at him happily, and picked up another chopstick of fried noodles and put it into his mouth, which made Ukyo lose a bit of fun invisibly.

When talking to Yanami, it is best to use only one level of logic. She may not understand double-level logic or anti-logic sometimes.

It was clear from the report Yanami submitted to him that she was eating every day. Under such circumstances, it was hard to imagine that she could still be thin.

"I don't want to either..." Yanaijian showed an expression between helplessness and happiness, then opened his arms under the table, and a cat Xiao who was sitting obediently under the table jumped up.

She held the cat mantis's elbow and raised its ugly face in front of Ukyo, saying, "It's the culprit! Half of what I wrote in the journal went into its stomach!"

The cat was stunned.

It shook its head frantically at Ukyo.

This means... probably saying that I didn't eat...

How should I put it, this cat-mantled monkey does look quite harmless, a bit ugly-cute, and quite different from what Ukyo had imagined. It just looks like a big cute pet.

He decided not to worry about the cat-mantling hurting people for the time being.

But the next question arises. Since Maoxiao did not steal Yanami's three meals a day, how did she lose weight?

"Have you been to the kendo gym recently?" Perhaps Ukyo should ask Yanami if she has been training extra. If she had followed the normal training volume at the kendo gym, combined with Yanami's daily diet, she should not have lost weight. However, Ukyo thought again that three kilograms is also within the normal range of weight fluctuation for the human body. It seems that she has lost three kilograms this week, but if she does not control her diet, she will soon gain it back next week.

So Ukyo changed the subject and said, "I hope you won't rebound next week."

"No way!" Yanami said as he sucked the fried noodles into his mouth boldly.

"I've been controlling my diet recently. I haven't eaten any desserts except for meals! I've also stopped updating my dessert diary on LINE."

Ukyo didn't think she was really controlling her diet.

"It's just because there's been a demonic incident all over the world lately, so most stores are closed, right?"

"Impossible!" Yanami stuffed the last bite of fried noodles into his mouth.

Ukyo was stunned because only one-third of the fried noodles on his plate were gone. Girls ate faster than boys. This must be rare, right?

........

...

After lunch break.

Online classes.

After struggling for 11 days, Ishifu High School finally decided to start online classes. Under the current circumstances, it is not suitable to gather students on a large scale. In addition, there are many hidden dangers in Ishifu High School's barrier. People who pass by the high school on weekdays, or people like Ukyo and Yanami who eat in the restaurant opposite, can see that although those little monsters wandering around may not hurt people, they are still a hidden danger in the school building. It is estimated that it will be impossible to completely eliminate them in a short period of time.

Today is the first time that class teacher Gan Xia and her beloved students meet after eleven days.

Looking through the camera in front of the computer, most students did not show any expression of missing their head teacher, because it was an online class and they were doing all kinds of things.

Senior Tsukinoki sent a private message to Yanami with a video, which talked about how to test whether the person you like likes you.

Yanami is thinking about how to conquer Ukyo every day. The scene of Tenaixing becoming a loser is still vivid in her mind. In order to avoid following in the footsteps of her predecessors, Yanami decides to learn from them. Tsukinoki happens to be the love winner among the many women she knows.

She clicked on the video sent to her by Senior Yue Zhimu.

The girl in the video seems to be a very popular relationship blogger on YouTube. She said that if you want to test whether your friend has romantic feelings for you, you must first break your usual dressing style. If you usually dress conservatively, then become more sexy. If the other person's gaze obviously becomes impure because of the change in your dress, then he is most likely interested in you as well.

If dressing sexy can't impress the other person, then give up as soon as possible. Your crush may just treat you as a brother.

Yanami started taking notes.

[1. Wear something sexier the next time you meet]

The second is to ask the other person out for dinner, find a time that is as natural as possible, and feed the other person food, which can be grilled skewers or fruits on skewers that do not have direct saliva contact. If the other person is a little reluctant at this time, it is likely that he is interested in you. If the other person eats it naturally, then he probably has no feelings for you, because love is always cautious, and only things related to friendship will be treated openly.

If the other party successfully eats your food but does not show any reluctance, you can start the next round of feeding test.

This time, you are no longer using skewers or skewers, but items that have indirect contact with water, such as chopsticks, spoons, and forks. Similarly, you can also find a way to pass your drink to him and observe whether he will drink it as if nothing happened.

"Hmm~~" Yanaijian nodded as he read it, thinking it made a lot of sense.

She continued taking notes.

[2. Try feeding Ukyo]

The last one.

This strategy must be based on the premise that the other party is willing to travel with you.

Choose the travel destination and hotel in advance, spend some money to bribe the hotel owner to reserve a double room for you, and then... there is no need to release a lot of tentative content. If the other party is willing to travel with you alone, then his intentions towards you are very clear, and there is probably no need to test him further.

Yanami wrote the last entry in his notebook.

3. Ask him out for a trip, and then… find a way to stay in the same room with him (Note: This doesn’t seem very reliable. This needs to be considered based on the actual situation. Although the first two seem really useful, after seeing the third day, I began to doubt whether this relationship blogger has ever been in a relationship.)

Although the notes have been written, the first one alone has stumped Yanami. Ukyo just went out with her to eat udon today. If she wants to go out with him again, she will probably have to wait until the next commission. But the agency really has no commissions at the moment, which is really strange, considering that their agency is very famous.

Thinking of this, Yanaijian cut out Arthur's private chat window——

"Help me urgently, I need a commission."

Arthur: “?”

Aren't all the firms supposedly overwhelmed these days? Why would anyone still be looking for someone else to commission them?

"Your Ukyo office is the largest in Toyohashi City, yet you don't have any commissions in Toyohashi? Why? Is Toyohashi City peaceful right now?"

Yanai saw the word "Kou" and said, "It's not peaceful, but no one is looking for us. Maybe everyone thinks our firm is too expensive?"

Arthur: "Have you ever done any online promotion?"

Yanaijian: “No.”

Arthur felt speechless. He always posted the amount of his commission on the homepages of his major social media platforms to prevent people who came to him from knowing it. These days, the Internet is the main way for hunters to settle orders. It is impossible to receive commissions by sitting in the office drinking coffee every day.

Arthur typed, "Trust me, put your commission amount on the homepage of your social media platform, and people will come to you soon. This is my commission amount, you can use it as a reference."

Arthur sent over a price list.

The above clearly marks the commission amounts from F to S levels, and also details the detailed grading rules.

The price of the commission varies depending on the strength of the monster. The strength of the monster is determined based on the monsters that have appeared, are active around the world, and have not yet been conquered.

For example, the "Dragon Girl" demonic creature that appeared in Jiuzhaigou, China, possesses the ability to breathe high-temperature flames. Its scales protect it from standard rifle and pistol ammunition, but not armor-piercing rounds. It can run slightly faster than a normal human male and fly at the speed of a swallow. Despite these numerous abilities, it only received a B rating in the joint evaluation of exorcists from various countries.

In Arthur's commission, the price for defeating a B-level monster is 100 million US dollars.

This includes calculating the cost of weapons and various means of transportation, as well as the cost of treatment after injuries and the hiring fees of other members of the expedition team. In the end, as long as you can make half of the profit, it will be considered a success.

Yanami checked and found that the Hanba that he and Ukyo had defeated was also rated B, but if Hanba grew into a "perfect form", the estimated rating would be "S". The reason for this is an estimated rating because no complete form of "Ba" has ever appeared anywhere in the world, so everyone can only speculate based on related memories.

Yanami drew up a commission price for Ukyo's office based on Arthur's commission fee, and then sent it to Ukyo for review.

She raised Arthur's commission price by 20%. She felt that with Youjing's current fame, it would be no problem to match such a price.

Youjing replied quickly with just one word: "Okay."

Yanami felt that Ukyo wouldn't care about such a small matter, but it didn't matter anymore. Her purpose was just to post the price, and the hidden purpose behind it was not to take on commissions and make money, but to go out with Ukyo.

However, she still underestimated the influence of Ukyo Office.

As soon as she posted the commission, she received a private message from the backend.

The scariest thing was that she wasn't using Ukyo's account, but her own account, "I Really Don't Like Vegetarian Noodles," which had less than 10,000 followers. Ukyo's account password was in his own hands, and even though he hadn't updated it in over six months, he didn't seem to be giving it to someone else to manage.

Yanami screened through the many tasks and first eliminated those except those in Toyohashi City. They had no plans to go to other cities recently.

Volume 102: Chapter 6: You seem a bit protective of your food? (K)

After only one round of screening, there are not many commissions left.

The first is a warehouse investigation. Recently, there have been many cases in Japan where old items that have not been used for a long time have become Tsukumogami.

The most important thing is that this "old thing" is not really old. Many things that have been stored for a week without being used will become tsukumogami.

The employer of the first task often heard noises in his own warehouse, so he suspected that a tsukumogami had appeared inside, so he thought of asking an exorcist to take a look. The employer's family was relatively well-off and lived in a detached villa in the suburbs of Toyohashi City.

Ukyo's home is also close to the suburbs, but it is located to the east and west of his employer's home, and they are very far apart. His employer's home is closer to Lemon's grandmother's home, which is what people in Toyohashi City usually call "the countryside."

This is just a small commission, but because of the "warehouse incident" that caused chaos in the demon world not long ago, many exorcists now have PTSD about warehouses, and they will try to avoid them as far away as possible when they encounter commissions related to warehouses.

Yesterday, when she was browsing the Night Watch channel, she saw Nick complaining that he was being hunted by a group of people who came from nowhere every day. Those people said that he was the one who opened the gate of hell, and as long as he died, the world would be at peace and everything would return to normal.

The first half of this sentence is correct, the warehouse was indeed opened by Nick and his investigation team, but the second half makes no sense.

Those dusty warehouses have now become the "devil blind boxes" in the industry.
