Chapter Twenty-Four: Shikigami
"Why thank you?"
"For your understanding...... "Summer Night looked away, "I thought I'd at least complain a few words from you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Oh yes...... Can I complain now?"
"It's better not to. ”
The two looked at each other again, then both smiled again.
"Tell me about it. ”
Wan Huaxia looked behind Harusa, and Harusa subconsciously turned around to look.
Legendary Creature ...... Oh no, the girl is standing there!?
A petite little girl with slender limbs, a pair of big cat ears swaying gently, and a pair of mysterious heterochromatic pupils staring quietly.
When she appeared, and when she stood behind her, Haruhi didn't notice it at all!
"This is my bodyguard and one of my Shikijin, Mist Hidden Rona. ”
She ostensibly is a first-year junior high school student enrolled this year, but only her name appears on the roster, and she has never appeared in class, and the written reason is that she has been on leave for a long time due to illness. ”
"Actually, as my guardian god, she often patrols the campus and observes, and occasionally goes to class, which is usually not seen. ”
Wan Hua Xia explained in the night.
"Oh...... Hello. Harusa greeted the little girl named Rona.
The latter's ears trembled sharply, and he jumped over wordlessly, hugged the young man, and rubbed his cheek against the latter's face!
Harusa was startled and smelled a refreshing body fragrance.
"This ...... This is?"
"Looks like she likes you. Summer Night blinked, "There are only a handful of people who will be so intimate with Rona, and you are the only one who has been treated like this by her when you first met." ”
"I should be happy...... Right?"
Harusa looked at the girl who was holding him, and the latter actually hugged him and closed his eyes, looking like he was going to rest!
Harusa tried to move his hands, and then carefully hugged the girl's body, feeling very soft.
Rona shrunk and snorted like a real cat, and was silent.
"It's really ......," Summer Night looked surprised, "although she does this to me sometimes, but this is the first time I've met you......"
Her expression was a little complicated, as if she had seen her beloved daughter coquettish a strange boy.
"Probably not...... First meeting, right?"
Harusa told Natsuya about seeing Rona on the first day of transfer.
"So, she's probably been paying attention to you......" Summer Night thought thoughtfully, "Why?"
"Ask her directly, can't you?"
"Lona, she basically doesn't speak, she will obey my instructions, and sometimes she will be coquettish with me, but she just won't speak. Xia Ye smiled bitterly, "I wanted to arrange for her to pay attention to your safety, but now it seems that I don't need to give orders." ”
It's a bit like seeing a mom whose daughter wants a boyfriend.
Harusa was confused.
Rona's inexplicable closeness doesn't seem to be a phenomenon that can be explained by her appearance...... Could it be the hidden effect of the charm attribute value?
Anyway, for this cute girl who is naturally close to him, Haru has only a fatherly sense of pity.
Although I don't want to admit it, he's essentially an uncle!
There was a moment of silence.
"Uh, what do I do now?"
"I don't need to do anything, I wanted to introduce you to Lona, and then I'll end the conversation, but look like this...... Just sit here for a while. Xia Ye said helplessly, and then glared suddenly, "I don't think you will do that, but I still solemnly warn you, Rona is my guardian and Shikami, don't think anything about her......! I'm pretty good too, you know!?"
"Understood, Miss!" Harumi couldn't help but respond seriously.
"By the way, what is the so-called Shikigami?"
"It's a psychic person who has signed a contract with the Onmyoji...... In anime, Shikigami is usually a ghost or something, but the modern real onmyoji will sign a contract with someone with psionic qualifications, and enhance the latter's power by summoning ghosts and performing spells, and the latter will fight for the contract master. ”
"I see. Harusa nodded, "You...... There's not just one Shikigami in the fog, right?"
"It's not surprising that you can guess...... That's right, the vice president of the student council, Zong Fang Yingyu, is my other Shikigami. With my current ability, maintaining two Shikikami is the limit. Summer Night said.
"How many Shikigami can there be?"
"As long as the spiritual power is strong enough, theoretically there can be countless gods, but in practice...... The ancestor of your family, the strongest one, has twelve high-level gods, seventy-two medium-type gods, and eight hundred and fifty-six low-level gods, the total number is unprecedented, and no second Onmyoji has broken the record so far. ”
"Shikigami is still ranked?"
"Of course, depending on the qualifications of the spiritual ability or carrier, as well as the difference in the spiritual power, spells, and spiritualism strength of the Onmyoji, Shikishen is divided into three major levels: low, medium, and high, and the power gap between the three levels is basically insurmountable. ”
"Who is the vice president of Wuyin and the Fog?"
“…… Lower Intermediate Level. ”
Summer Night's expression was a little embarrassed, but immediately his face tensed again.
"This ...... It's already very good! The modern environment lacks spiritual energy, and the overall strength of the Onmyoji has dropped dramatically, and at my age, having this level of spiritual power is already relatively good! And my spells and soul conjuring are also very good, ranking among the top of my peers in my family......"
"Uh...... President, you don't have to try so hard to explain. Harusa tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know anything about the field of Onmyoji, so I can't judge your strength or weakness at all, but if you try so hard to explain, it will make me feel ...... Want to cover it up?"
Wan Huaxiaye's expression froze, and her cheeks flushed with a hint of rosy.
"Good...... All right. "She's a little discouraged. I don't know if it's because I said something leaky, and I look a little frustrated.
Harusa thinks her side is quite interesting, and it seems that the perfect lady in the eyes of everyone in the school is actually not perfect.
There was another burst of silence.
"You...... Do you want tea?"
"Please give me another drink. ”
A moment later.
Harusa sat on the sofa and carefully drank tea while holding the sleeping little girl.
Ah, good tea.
After enjoying the good tea, he looked at the student council president.
"And one more question, what are the ears and eyes of the foggy?"
"It's all real things, this is because Rona has a high fusion rate with the Royal Soul Cat Demon I summoned, so this alienation phenomenon occurs. However, as long as she has the heart, she can reduce the fusion rate by herself, but she has to keep it this way. Xia Ye said helplessly.
Then she suddenly thought of something, and her phoenix eyes widened.
"It is said that otaku are particularly fond of this genre......"
"Uh...... Haha, it's attractive, because it's cute - but I swear I won't do anything, I swear!"
Seeing that the small knife in Xia Ye's hand was about to move, Harusa hurriedly said.
"Alienation...... If the so-called fusion rate is increased to the maximum, the degree of alienation will ...... Isn't it the same as a transformation?" he changed the subject.
“…… Yes, but it's dangerous and can damage your soul, so it's absolutely forbidden. Summer Night said in a low tone.
Harusa nodded.
"One last question. ”
"I ...... I've already been judged to be unable to become an Onmyoji, right? So, is it possible for me to become a Shikigami?"
Wan Huaxia was stunned for a moment.
"Theoretically, anyone can become a Shikigami. But...... You don't have any psychic powers, and the chances of becoming a Shikigami are very low. ”
Harusa nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Why do you ask this?" asked Summernight.
"Just asking...... Becoming someone's god and fighting for someone is also a kind of romance. Harusa smiled, "Otaku always dream of fantasy. ”
Wan Hua Xia was silent at night.
After that, the two did not talk about the topic of Onmyoji again.
In fact, there are many things that Harusa wants to know, but he can't enter that realm, so knowing too much is just adding to his troubles. What you have to know, Summer Night will definitely take the initiative to tell him.
In fact, this summer night's frank confession is also out of righteousness, not obligation. After all, he is not a person in the circle, to put it bluntly, he is a mortal, so it is normal to treat him as a mortal.
Out of worry and apology, Wan Huaxia took the initiative to inform him of some circumstances, which was already quite a kind act, and if he dug endlessly, he would not know what to do, and it would increase the risk for both parties.
After about ten minutes, Rona opened her eyes, stretched, licked Haruji's cheek, jumped to the floor, and disappeared in a flash.
"It's really like a cat. ”
If Chiaki knew about this, she would definitely die of envy! Harumi thought so, said goodbye to Natsuya, and left.
Shortly after the teenager leaves, the red-haired girl comes to the student council room.
Wan Hua Xia Ye took his eyes off the document and looked at his trusted Shikami and friend, his eyes slightly sharpened.
"Report it...... Eagle. ”
