Chapter 012. Asano shrine maiden's soul slaying technique
So, Asano Ariko is now going to perform a spirit removal.
Qiao Qiao watched from the sidelines.
He knows how to act as a follower.
Unless it's Asano Ariko who can't handle it, otherwise, Qiao Qiao won't make a move.
From a purely monetary point of view.
It's been less than an hour since the two met.
Qiao Qiao received 550,000 yen.
Earn big.
He roughly calculated, as long as the job was controlled within three hours.
It doesn't matter if you are Miss Asano-sama's attendant for the rest of your life.
Asano Ariko looked at Qiao Qiao, and saw that he had been staring at his every move, and snorted softly.
"I'm not going to let you underestimate me."
She pulled a handful of charms out of her handbag.
The charms are all spells written by Ariko Asano with ink infused with spiritual power.
She sat Suzumura in the shop and placed three charms in each of the four corners outside the bakery.
"I've set up an enchantment so that the evil spirits in the house can't leave this area."
Ariko Asano explained, telling Suzumura not to be nervous.
"I see, there is this kind of operation."
Qiao Qiao touched his chin.
He had never seen a witch's method of removing spirits.
Even, Qiao Hashimoto thought that Asano Ariko would take out the bow and shoot the arrow of demon destruction.
After all, that's how it is played in animation.
Ariko Asano glanced at Qiao Qiao.
Originally, she was supposed to continue to use the charm to weaken this evil spirit, and then gather spiritual power to force out the evil spirit on Suzumura Toru's body, and then continue to use the charm to solve it.
But that's too banal.
Riko Asano thought about it for a while, but still took out a black wooden box from her handbag.
Open the box, and there is a string of bells inside.
This is Kagura Bell.
It is different from the traditional seven-five-three bell.
In Asano's hand, there are only eight bells.
Wrap around the lattice of a short sword.
It is also a mahogany handle, and it also has a long webbing ribbon of five colors at the end.
"This is the Hoseon Bell, also known as the Sword Bell."
Asako Asano noticed Qiao Qiao's gaze and said.
The traditional kagura bell is used as a tool for kagura dance.
Legend has it that Amaterasu, who ruled Takamagahara, hid in the Teniwa Household in a fit of anger because his youngest brother Suzhan Mingzun was stubborn.
This dodge.
Heaven and earth are in turmoil, eternal night is coming, hundreds of ghosts are raging, and disasters are continuous.
Eight million gods came to the side of Teniwado and persuaded the family to stop being angry and return to the world.
But Amaterasu was unwilling.
At this time, Tiandian Nu Ming stood up.
Holding bamboo leaves, stand on an upside-down wooden barrel and dance.
Because he jumped too hard, the clothes hung down, revealing the indescribable parts.
The onlookers cheered.
Even Amaterasu poked his head out curiously.
As a result, he was directly dragged out by the gods on the side.
Heaven and earth are restored to light.
Congratulations.
Since then, dancing to please the gods has become an important part of Shinto's work.
And Kagura Dance is one of them.
Although Qiao Qiao wanted to complain, whether this was the earliest recorded scene of gathering people to watch the [beep--] dance, and whether the squatting tradition at home in Heguo started with Amaterasu.
But myths and legends are like that.
We need to respect traditional culture.
"The golden gauntlet represents the eight-inch mirror, the eight bells symbolize the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, and the top sword is the Tiancong Cloud Sword."
Asako Asano explained.
The bell is accompanied by the shaking of the hand, making a pleasant ringing sound.
Even in Atsuta Shrine, the sword bell is a very precious magic weapon.
Not to mention the apprenticeship shrine maiden, even if it is a formal shrine maiden, it is rare to use a sword bell.
Not to mention, what Asako Asano has in her hand is a sword bell that has been infiltrated by the spiritual power of the Heavenly Cloud Sword.
There is only one of each branch of Atsuta Jingu, and it is usually used as a substitute for the Mijin.
Being able to take it out to remove the spirit is enough to prove that Asako Asano's father dotes on her.
Qiao Qiao didn't know the ins and outs of this.
He just thinks this sword bell is very powerful!
From such a distance, the sword bell still exuded an extraordinary aura.
Completely different from the previous spells.
She is worthy of being a trainee shrine maiden of Atsuta Jingu.
Take it out and take it out with such a powerful magic weapon!
It's such a powerful thing assigned to the apprentice shrine maiden.
If it's an official shrine maiden.
Even the palace division.
Qiao Qiao didn't dare to imagine.
Poverty limits his imagination.
Suzu –
The bell chimes crisply again.
Legend has it that this voice can communicate with spirits and purify people's hearts.
Qiao Qiao suddenly had a thought.
Since this sound has the power to ward off evil spirits, can it achieve the same effect if it is recorded?
He pondered.
In the bakery, Suzumura heard Suzuki, and his face turned pale.
He covered his ears.
But there was no way to stop the voice from the soul.
Asako Asano walked into the store with another shake of her wrist.
Suzu –
The clear sound of the bell echoed through the space.
Suzumura fell to his knees.
Thick black smoke came out of him.
Black smoke condensed and entangled in mid-air, forming a hideous face.
Qiao Qiao stood outside the store, looking through the glass window to see the situation inside.
In his vision, black smoke filled the entire bakery.
It forms a tentacle that looks like substance.
The tentacles tried to extend outward, but retracted as if electrocuted when they touched the walls and windows.
The charms at the corners of the walls emitted flashes of light, trying to keep the barrier steady.
Inside the bakery.
Asano Riko's whole person is shrouded in tentacles.
But a light lit up.
The sword bell in Asano Riko's hand rang again, and an empty light blocked the tentacles like a shield.
It makes it impossible to get close to Ariko Asano's side.
"Why? Why? Why? ”
The whispers of evil spirits echoed in Ariko Asano's ears.
"Kill, kill, kill
The voice of the evil spirit even reached the outside of the store.
In the midst of that filthy, bloody, disgusting yin.
Asano pears are dusty.
The sword bell in his hand shimmered.
A looming long sword appeared in Ariko Asano's hand.
The sword looked slender and heavy, sharp and blunt, pure white and flawless, and chaotic and indistinct.
Qiao Qiao had a hard time describing what that sword looked like.
Facing the evil spirit, Asako Asano gently waved the sword bell in her hand.
Buzz –
A ripple rippled.
Countless tentacles tried to attack Asako Asano, but they were all slashed down by a sword light.
A sword.
Erased the thick blackness, dispelled the blood, and eliminated resentment.
Whew-
A strong wind rose from the blade of the sword, and suddenly dispersed all the yin qi in the bakery.
Elegant, chic, and clean.
It is worthy of being a trainee witch of Atsuta Shrine, and even the spirit removal is so handsome.
Qiao Qiao looked at Asano Yariko's appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
When can you have a long sword in your hand, a sword falls, and a hundred ghosts die.
You can't learn it, you can't learn it.
Suzumura, who fell to his knees, gasped for breath.
His originally slightly pale face regained its blood color, and his whole body burst out with vigorous vitality.
"Mr. Suzumura, how are you feeling?"
Ariko Asano put away the sword bell.
Her face was also a little pale, and it was clear that using this magic weapon was not as simple as she had imagined.
Help Suzumura back into his chair.
"Feeling...... It seems that some pressure and the like have disappeared, and the whole person feels a lot more relaxed. ”
In Suzumura's cognition, just now he suddenly felt uncomfortable and fell to his knees.
Then the Asano shrine maiden shook the bell a few times, and the symptoms suddenly disappeared.
The current Suzumura Toru is like running a thousand meters, and he is tired to death, but he is also inexplicably relaxed.
Although there was any evil spirit, yin qi, he didn't feel it at all.
But this transformation in just a few minutes is nothing short of a miracle.
"It's worthy of being a shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, and the method of removing spirits is really exquisite."
Qiao Qiao followed into the store and said at the same time.
His words made Suzumura Toru glance at Ariko Asano again, full of gratitude.
"The evil spirit has been exorcised, you take this, observe it for two more days, if there is no problem, then it will be fine."
Asano Ariko put a red omamori in Suzumura's palm and said in a gentle tone.
She was very satisfied with Qiao Qiao's praise.
Then, Riko Asano carefully inspected Toru Suzumura and this bakery again.
As for Qiao Qiao, he was in the gap between Asano Shrine Maiden and Suzumura Toru talking.
Glancing at the bread.
The original mixture of flesh and blood tentacles is gone.
Only delicious and delicious bread remains.
Of course, in order to avoid problems, it has to be disposed of in the end, although it is a bit wasteful, but there is no way to do it.
When he checked for the third time, Qiao Qiao suddenly stopped.
In the corner of the cupboard, under a loaf of bread.
There's also a bit of yin.
The yin qi was like a small caterpillar, slowly wriggling, trying to get away from the three of them.
And a little remnant of the evil spirit's grudge?
Qiao Qiao thought.
Is it that the Asano shrine maiden is not good at learning and is negligent?
Or did she have ulterior motives, a backhand who deliberately stayed to test her strength?
Or is it the nature of this evil spirit?
Qiao Qiao first ruled out a wrong answer.
It's definitely not that the Asano shrine maiden is not good at learning and hasn't checked these places.
It is absolutely impossible for a professional academic sect soul slayer like her to make such a mistake.
Well.
Indeed, the appearance of this evil spirit is very strange.
Suzumura is inexplicably haunted by evil spirits, who even use the bread he makes to spread misfortune.
This kind of thing has not been encountered by Qiao Qiao in the previous spirit removal.
Is the Asano shrine maiden trying to find the root of the problem through this residual resentment?
While thinking about it, Qiao Qiao saw that Asano Ariko had finished communicating with Toru Suzumura and was about to leave the bakery.
I didn't care about the appearance of the wraith.
Well, there is only one answer.
This wraith is truly special.
Able to evade the scavenger's perception.
Qiao Qiao came to the bread.
The wriggling resentment struggled to escape, letting out a subtle roar.
Smack-
"What's wrong?"
Suzumura saw Qiao Qiao clasping his hands together against a loaf of bread, and was slightly confused.
"There are mosquitoes."
In order not to worry the client, Qiao Qiao replied.
"Have there been so many mosquitoes lately?"
Riko Asano had just taken half a step out of the store and glanced back.
She is a girl, she must pay attention to mosquitoes, and she looked around, but she didn't find any traces of insects.
"Maybe summer is coming."
Qiao Qiao replied solemnly.
