Akatsuki Mite, and his Shikigami left.

Harusa was left sitting alone in the box, facing three cups of coffee that hadn't been touched, watching them cool.

The phone rings.

When I took it out, it was a summer night.

"Hey, Haruji!How are you!?"

As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of the eldest lady rang immediately.

Seeing the message from him, she felt nervous and worried, and immediately called to contact her.

"It's okay, summer night......" Harusa responded, realizing that his tone was a little gloomy, so he coughed.

"Miteaka's gone, he just said something to me. The tone changed back to normal.

“…… What did you say?"

"'Get the money out of the way, don't get in the way'. ”

"Huh?"

"That's what I mean. Harusa smiled.

The summer night was silent.

"I must be afraid of the Haruta family, and I think it's too risky to kill me directly, so let's do it. He paused, "It seems that even if I am kicked out, I am still under the protection of my family." ”

"Harusa......"

"I'm a little too cocky, Summer Night. Harusa leaned back on the couch and turned his head to look outside, "It's a fool to feel good about thinking you can do something despite your lack of strength." ”

Summer Night was speechless.

"Sorry I couldn't get that guy to stop calling you by name, and I couldn't beat him up on the spot. ”

"Huh?"

"I want to punch him in the face, just like during the Winter Snow Festival, but his Shikijin is staring at him...... I had to endure it. There was a sense of unwillingness in his voice.

Summer Night: "............"

The eldest lady didn't know what her expression was right now.

"I'm too weak at the moment, although I'm steadily improving my strength, but it's not enough, I have to improve more quickly. Harusa said seriously.

"On a summer night, is there any place where I can retreat and cultivate? It's the kind that can go in and stay for a while, absorb natural energy, and then transform. ”

"Morph into a head! No. ”

"It's okay to get powerful summoned beasts. ”

"That's not either!"

"You can also try the sealed ancient treasures. ”

"Even if there is, I won't let you go!"

Is there really one?

"Seriously, isn't there a way to greatly increase your strength in a short period of time?" asked Harusa.

"This isn't a shonen manga......," Xia Ye sighed, "If you're serious, there are, but that method will probably do more harm than good......"

At this time, her words suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something.

"Got a good idea?"

"No...... It's nothing. ”

"I don't think it's nothing, you must have thought of something, please tell me what it is. Harumi asked.

“…… I don't want to say. Summer Night softly refused.

"Then I'll have to go and ask Miss Fujiwara-sama, and if she can't give me a good way, I'll have to ask Miss Haruta again...... Although I don't know if I can ask or not. ”

“…… Are you serious?"

"I'm telling the truth. ”

Miss Wanhua fell silent.

Then she sighed.

"You're growing up fast, there's no need to force it, Harusa...... You'll quit ......"

"I think that guy is very upset! I want to beat him up and smash his stinky face. Harusa interrupted the other and said in a deep voice, "Don't ask me to do what that guy says, Summer Night." ”

I won't leave you!

Summer Night seemed to hear this sentence clearly.

The warmth swelled in her heart, making her feel indescribable.

"Tell me, what the hell is the method?" Haruji asked again.

"I'm not impulsive, I'm going to make my own judgments, you don't have to worry about me doing stupid things blindly. He also assured himself.

Summer Night almost burst out laughing.

You're just doing stupid things now! Big fool!! She complained in her heart.

It's really unreasonable to be stupid.

So I can only follow his wishes.

"...... 'Wine of Blood'. ”

"What?"

"I was just attending a family meeting, and at the meeting, I learned about such a piece of information. Summer Night explained.

"The Black Ambition Family, one of the Seven Great Families, has been jointly researching the 'Blood Fighting Wine' with the Hyakmu Ghost Family for many years, and it has basically been completed. ”

"The so-called 'Fighting Blood Wine' simply means that a number of spiritual abilities sign a contract and fight, among which the loser pays the 'spiritual blood' to form a 'wine' that can improve spiritual power and spiritual energy, which can only be drunk by the winner. ”

In other words, it is a ritual to increase the power of the victor by sacrificing the loser. If there are enough psionic people participating in the battle, then the victorious person will be able to greatly increase their strength at once. ”

Harusa: "............"

There's a subtle sense of immediacy.

Multiple participants fight, the loser dies, and the winner wins...... Isn't this the Holy O War!?

It's really similar in form.,If all the people who participate in the battle are a combination of Onmyoji and Shikami.,It's equivalent to the Imperial Master and the Heroic Spirit.,And the blood wine that can increase the power is equivalent to the Holy Grail.,A proper copy!

No...... It can't be said that the Holy O War is a form of "martial arts competition" in the final analysis, and so is the blood fighting wine ceremony, which is all this kind of activity, and there is no reproduction or reproduction.

"It is said that the body or soul of the defeated who has paid for the spiritual blood will be damaged, but it is not irreversible, and it can be restored in as little as a month or as long as half a year. And the winner who drinks blood wine will not suffer any side effects. ”

If this is true, then the ritual has considerable value. But now only the Black Ghost Family and the Hyakmu Ghost Family have conducted secret tests, and they have not been conducted publicly. ”

"Now they are preparing for the first public ceremony, tentatively scheduled for January next year, when representatives of various families and forces will be invited to watch and allow for a certain degree of inspection or verification. ”

"Before you actually see the ceremony, even with the credibility guarantee of the big family, one of the seven families, people still have doubts, right?" Haruji touched his chin.

"Yes, jumping in strength without any side effects is really attractive to psionics, but that's why it's important to be extra cautious. Summer Night said in a deep voice.

"Even if it is true that the Bloody Wine has no side effects at all, as they say, participating in the war itself is a high-risk activity, and you can be seriously injured, defeated, or even killed. ”

There was silence.

"If you want to become strong in a short period of time, you have to take this level of risk, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Harusa said calmly.

"Harusa......"

"Thank you for telling me this, I'll think about it carefully, I won't just have to participate impulsively. He smiled.

“…… I'll try to get the details of this ritual and show it to you when the time comes. Summer Night sighed.

"That's great, thank you very much. ”

"Don't say that...... I'm ......"

She wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything more.

After that, the phone hangs up.

Summer Night slowly looked out the window, staring at the snowflakes, her eyes twinkling.
