In a country like Japan, which is heavily influenced by the West, drinking parties have become a very common form of socializing. The Japanese have created a unique Japanese-style drinking party by combining Western-style drinking parties with local Japanese food and banquet customs.

Tsuruya, Elsa, Shinji, and Sakura are going to participate in a typical Japanese-style drinking party, with drinks from the West, cold cuts from the West, and Japanese soups, grilled foods, fried foods, boiled foods, and sashimi.

But no matter what form of drinking party is not a buffet, you can't eat and drink without scruples, and a shallow taste is the basic etiquette of the drinking party, plus Shinji is the son of the head of the family (external) Jiji Makiri, and he has gathered a lot of people's eyes, and his every move needs to be paid more attention, so Shinji has never liked to participate in such activities.

- Except today, he was interested in this family, no, one person in this family to be exact.

The Asagami family, whose main family is located in Nagano, once had a prominent reputation in the mysterious world.

Different from the European immigrants of the Kiriri, the Asagami family is a native Japanese family, and its main business is "exorcism".

In Japan, the "distortion of nature" is called a demon, and the exorcism is to repair the distortion, which may be a distorted phenomenon or a distorted species. The Asagami family used to be one of the four most famous exorcism families in Japan, but now the population is withering and gradually declining, and because of poor management, they owe a lot of debts and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Tonight's drinking party seemed to be an ordinary social meeting, but it was actually the last struggle of the Asagami family. The reason why I was not in Nagano but in Kanbuko City was because my family could no longer support a large-scale drinking party, so I could only ask the Asagami family, who was very powerful in Kanbuko City, to help.

The Makiri family had several dealings with the Asagami family in the spiritual land rental business during the dirty inkstone period, and Tsuruya also had several cooperation projects with the Asagami family's Asagami Construction Co., Ltd., so they were invited. It happened that Shinji said that he had something to go to Guanfuzi City, and Sakura stuck to his brother and said that he wanted to go together, so he took the two children along the way, and he was just going to send them to the courtyard of the Kiri's house, and he and Elsa went to the drinking party, but he didn't expect Shinji to learn that the organizer of the drinking party was Asakami, and he uncharacteristically asked to participate, which was the scene before the drinking party.

At the reception, Shinji successfully met the person he wanted to meet.

This is a girl a few years older than Shinji, with long purple hair somewhat similar to Sakura. The girl's eyes are very cold, and she looks very quiet. The small upright face is very cute, and the pointed jaw and delicate balance are reminiscent of Japanese dolls.

The long hair extends all the way to the back, the sideburns are slightly tied up from the root of the ears and hangs symmetrically from the left to the right to the chest, and the forehead hair is beautifully cut, with the unique temperament of a noble lady.

The girl's name is Asagami Fujino, and she is the main character in the third chapter of "The Realm of Emptiness", "Pain Residue", and one of the four major stumbling girls of the type moon (the rape boy will never admit to such an insulting title).

Of course, now she is still as pure as a small flower, blooming quietly in the corner, as if forgotten by the whole world.

Shinji walked in front of the shakami Fujino with his head down, and I don't know if it was because of his lack of concentration, Shinji accidentally stepped on Fujino's foot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you. ”

Shinji hurriedly apologized, and although his head was shaking, his eyes never left Fujino's face.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. ”

Fujino's voice is not loud, and her soft tone shows good upbringing.

"No, no, please don't force it. My family always said that my steps were too heavy, and the stairs at home were broken several times, and if it hurt you, I must say it-"

Shinji stepped forward with an innocent smile on his face.

"-Or do you just don't feel any pain, sister?"

Fujino's slender body shuddered, the goblet slipped from his hand, and an unconcealable panic appeared on Wen Jing's face.

Shinji seemed to have been prepared, grabbed it with his left hand, and gently and skillfully caught the goblet, without even spilling a drop of juice in the cup.

"I said that I was not reluctant, it hurt so much that I couldn't even hold the cup, so I helped my sister go over there and rest for a while. ”

"Ahh ”

Shinji's smiling face made Fujino feel inexplicably frightened, but she couldn't refuse Shinji's request, so she could only let the boy, who looked younger than herself, help her out.

At the reception, diners are required to stand, and there are no fixed seats and standing positions, only a few seats are set up on one side for the elderly and the tired to take a break.

The position of the two of them is the deepest part of the rest area, the place where the lights are the deepest.

"Are you better?"

"Well, it's much better. ”

"Sure enough, sister, you don't feel pain. Shinji deliberately controlled the force of the kick just now, not to mention the pain, and he felt sluggish and didn't even notice that he was being stepped on.

The sudden words made Fujino's face pale again, which had improved slightly, and she looked at Shinji with frightened eyes, her mouth sobbing, but she didn't make a sound.

"No denial, no question of how I know, just know that I might be able to restore your pain. ”

The smile on Shinji's face remained the same throughout, but in Fujino's eyes, the smile gradually changed from a fear that people wanted to stay away from to an irresistible attraction, as if it were the temptation of "demons".

"Is what you said true?" Fujino asked involuntarily.

"Of course it's true, the rest of the story is to be kept secret, and you can't say it to anyone. ”

"Hmm. ”

Receiving Fujino's affirmative reply, Shinji stretched out his finger and carved a rune on Fujino's eyebrows, and then flicked his finger hard at the place where the rune was engraved.

With the sound of a fingernail hitting his skin, an unfamiliar sensation passed through the peripheral nerves under the skin and entered Fujino's brain.

It's an instinctive feeling, an unpleasant feeling. It's also a warning to keep the body out of danger.

If you are a normal person, you will definitely take action to eliminate this feeling as soon as possible. But Fujino is different, she can't feel pain, she craves this feeling from the bottom of her heart, this feeling that makes people feel unpleasant inside.

"It's ......"

"That's the pain. ”

Shinji said, flicking Fujino's forehead again, harder than the previous time, leaving a shallow red mark on Fujino's fair skin.

"It turns out... That's pain. ”

The red mark did not affect Fujino's beauty, her whole face was flushed, her eyes radiated with inexplicable excitement, and even the air in front of her seemed to become distorted, and she pleaded with Shinji in a completely different tone than just now.

"Can I do it again?"

"Unfortunately, no. Shinji shook his head, "I just made you feel the pain temporarily, not really restored your pain. If you want to really recover your pain, come to the courtyard of the Makiri family tomorrow morning, and the reason is that I will play in Guanbuzi City for two days, and I hope you will come to be my guide-"

"-Are you coming? ”
