Chapter 187: Breath from Hell
Just when the proprietress Sakura was tugging at Ah Yin's collar and teaching her nephew a lesson, Minako also plucked up her courage and walked into the Yin house.
Sakura, the proprietress who was teaching Ah Yin, saw Minako walking in at first sight, and immediately let go of her hand holding Ah Yin's collar, and smoothed out the folds on Ah Yin's collar, and after smiling at Minako with some embarrassment, she pushed Ah Yin and asked him to hurry up to entertain Minako.
Because Minako has come to the store many times before to find A-Yin, the proprietress Sakura is already very familiar with her, and usually when Minako comes to the store, the proprietress Sakura will greet her as soon as possible and entertain her warmly. But today is obviously for the proprietress Sakura, Minako's arrival was chosen at an inopportune time.
After Ah Yin was pushed by his aunt, he stood in front of Minako a little overwhelmed, smiled at her reluctantly, and said, "Minako, you're here, are you going to eat in the store today or take it away?" Although Ah Yin asked, he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Minako could pack and take away instead of staying in the store, if Minako and the needle girl had a conflict in the store, Ah Yin knew that it would definitely not be the needle girl who was a monster who suffered.
But Minako, who had apparently seen the needle girl, didn't want to leave like this, and she walked into the house to be able to take a good look at what her rival was like. So in line with the idea of wanting to show herself in front of her rival, Minako showed a sweet smile to Ah Yin: "I'm going to eat it in the store, please have a grass dumpling!" As he spoke, he walked into the store, as if he was provocative, and sat down next to the needle girl, Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto.
Looking at Minako who walked in suddenly, as well as Ayin and the proprietress Sakura with embarrassed faces, whether it was Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto, or the needle girl on the side, they could see that the relationship between the girl and Ain was not a simple relationship between the guest and the store, so Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto both looked at Minako curiously. And the needle girl looked at Ah Yin with "gentle" eyes, when she met Bai Fan Po and Ah Yin before, the needle girl had already seen this girl who was saved by Ah Yin, but at that time, because Ah Yin had stopped Bai Fan Po, the needle girl and the corpse dance crow did not make the first move.
And Minako, who was stared at by Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, although she felt a little like a thorn in her back, she still held on to her performance and sat in her seat. Minako even took advantage of the cover of the menu on the table to make a casual appearance and swept the three Mai Shiraishi with the afterglow of her eyes, and secretly looked at the needle girl, wanting to see her rival clearly.
Although Minako's gaze was hidden, it was no different from staring directly at them for the three Mai Shiraishi or the three youkai she was looking at. Youkai have a perception far greater than that of humans, so when Minako's self-perceived hidden gaze swept over the three of Mai Shiraishi, they all noticed Minako's gaze.
Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto didn't feel Minako's gaze, and immediately understood Minako's thoughts, and after smiling at each other, they both looked at the needle girl sitting on the side, wanting to see how she dealt with this matter, and Nanami Hashimoto, who likes to gloat, had an obvious evil smile in her eyes.
The needle girl looked at Ah Yin, who was standing on the side with an embarrassed face, smiled and shouted to him: "Ah Yin, please bring three grass dumplings here, with red beans." With that, she smiled faintly at Minako, who was looking at her from the side.
In Minako's opinion, this smile is undoubtedly a provocation, Minako instinctively wants to fight back, but looking at the graceful needle girl and the fashionable and beautiful Mai Shiraishi sitting next to her and the ethereal temperament of Nanami Hashimoto, she is a little unconfident. Compared with Mai Shiraishi and the three of them, Minako, who is almost plain-faced, undoubtedly looks a little rustic, which makes her bow her head with a little inferiority, holding her skirt tightly with both hands, and her eyes are a little dim.
Seeing Minako with her head down, the proprietress Sakura suddenly felt a little distressed about this girl who she was already familiar with and had a good impression, looked at her embarrassed appearance, thought for a while, picked up a plate of grass dumplings from the counter, and walked towards Minako, wanting to resolve her embarrassment.
The proprietress Sakura placed a plate of grass dumplings in front of Minako, and at the same time blocked the view from behind, and showed an encouraging smile to Minako: "Minako, are you here to eat grass dumplings again today?" ”
Minako raised her head and looked at the encouraging eyes of the proprietress Sakura, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, and she nodded towards the kind proprietress with a sweet smile on her face.
At this time, Nanami Hashimoto's eyes suddenly froze at Minako, the smile on his face converged, pulled Mai Shiraishi's arm, and motioned for her to look at Minako with a rather serious expression.
Mai Shiraishi was a little confused, but seeing the serious look on Nanami Hashimoto's face, she still looked at Minako carefully, and even she noticed that something was wrong. In Minako's body, Mai Shiraishi felt a trace of demonic aura entangled in her soul, although this demonic aura was very light, Mai Shiraishi could still feel the strong smell of sulfur from it, exuding a smell as if it came from hell.
Feeling this trace of demonic energy, Mai Shiraishi suddenly wanted to unfold the momentum on her body, but was held by Nana Hashimoto's hand that was not pressed on her wrist. Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto in confusion, only to see her glance at the road outside the house: "There are ordinary people, don't be here." Obviously, Nana Hashimoto is not more scrupulous and shows her side of being a monster in front of ordinary people.
Mai Shiraishi looked at the passers-by outside the house, a hint of happiness flashed in her eyes, and she patted her chest and thanked Nana Hashimoto and said, "Fortunately, Nanamin, you grabbed me, otherwise I would have scared ordinary people again." So what do we do now? After speaking, Mai Shiraishi looked at Minako on the side again, and the demonic aura that was wrapped around Minako's soul made her always a little unbearable.
After thinking for a moment, Nana Hashimoto gave Mai Shiraishi a reassuring look, then stood up and walked to the seat where Minako was, smiled at her and asked, "May I sit here?" Although it is a question sentence, but the tone of Nana Hashimoto is indeed unquestionable, although it does not show the momentum of the monster that he can control, but Nanami Hashimoto has experienced nearly two years of idol life and starred in Taiga dramas The momentum that belongs to human beings still makes Minako feel a sense of oppression.
Looking at Nana Hashimoto's serious eyes, Minako felt a trace of pressure from the momentum exuded from her, although she was a little unclear, she still nodded and let Nanami Hashimoto sit down.
"What's your name?" Nana Hashimoto didn't look at Minako, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes. Why is there a demonic aura on the soul of an ordinary human girl that exudes the smell of sulfur? And judging from the degree of entanglement between this trace of demonic energy and Minako's soul, this trace of demonic energy should have been entangled in her soul almost since she was born, all of which made Nanami Hashimoto have a strong interest in the girl in front of her.
Looking at the beautiful face and fashionable dress of the short-haired girl sitting in front of her, she felt the outstanding temperament of Nanami Hashimoto, which made Minako a little shy, but she still replied to Nanami Hashimoto: "My name is Minako." After speaking, he looked at Nanami Hashimoto a little shyly, and didn't understand why she suddenly sat in front of her.
"Minako, that's a good name." Nana Hashimoto politely complimented her, then looked into Minako's eyes and asked her seriously, "Minako, do you believe that there are monsters in this world?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto's question made Minako stunned, originally she thought that Nanami Hashimoto was here to ask about the matter between herself and Ah Yin, and even Nanami Hashimoto came to threaten her to quit The situation was taken into account, but Minako didn't expect Nanami Hashimoto to ask her such a strange question as whether she didn't believe that there were monsters in the world.
Minako instinctively wanted to answer whether she believed it, but remembering the strange old woman she met on the night she was rescued by Ah Yin, Minako's eyes suddenly hesitated a little. After a slight hesitation, Minako nodded slightly to Nanami Hashimoto, and answered her question in the affirmative.
Seeing Minako nodding, Nana Hashimoto breathed a sigh of relief, originally Nanami Hashimoto was still thinking about how she could convince Minako if she didn't believe her, but now Minako believes that there are monsters in this world, so it will be much easier to convince Minako.
Thinking of this, Nana Hashimoto smiled at Minako and said, "Since Minako believes that there are monsters in this world, things will be much easier." ”
Nanami Hashimoto's words made Minako even more confused, and she looked at Nanami Hashimoto suspiciously, not understanding what she meant by this.
Looking at Minako's puzzled eyes, Nana Hashimoto sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said to her: "Minako, since you believe that there are monsters in this world, then I'll say it bluntly, I see the demonic energy in you, and the demonic energy is still wrapped around your soul. I was afraid that you wouldn't believe what I said, so I would ask you if you believe that there are monsters in this world. ”
Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's words, Minako's first feeling was ridiculous, and she had a demonic aura in herself? Or is it the demonic energy that is wrapped around the soul? This kind of remark made Minako feel unbelieving at first, but when she wanted to open her mouth to refute, Nana Hashimoto's unserious eyes made her hesitate again. After hesitating for a while, Minako asked Nanami Hashimoto, "You say that, is there any evidence?" ”
Minako doesn't know why she didn't refute Nanami Hashimoto, maybe it was her experience of meeting the white powder woman that night that made her have a certain acceptance of these supernatural things, but no matter what, Minako hopes that Nana Hashimoto will be able to come up with convincing evidence.
Nana Hashimoto didn't look at Minako's hopeful eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, she didn't speak, she just closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes in Minako's puzzled gaze, revealing a pair of blue eyes.
"Is that enough?" Nana Hashimoto lingered with a little ice and snow on her fingertips, and her face was like a flower.
——————————————————
"Is it really possible to know what is wrong with Minako here?" Ah Yin looked up at the somewhat short torii in front of him, and his expression revealed a deep suspicion, after all, the shrine in front of him, which was not called the main shrine by Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, was too small.
The group of four stood in front of the torii gate of this Taisha shrine, and both Ain and Minako couldn't help but look at this inconspicuous-looking shrine, and the needle girl didn't follow him to the Taisha because she didn't want to embarrass Ain, but went back to the old warehouse where the Nine-Tails Group was located.
Looking at Ah Yin's puzzled eyes and Minako's scared expression, Nana Hashimoto didn't remember the scene when he and Mai Shiraishi first set foot in this Taisha shrine, and a smile of memory appeared on his face: "Don't worry, although the Taisha here is small, Qianye is the strongest existing onmyoji in Japan, and there is nothing he can't solve." ”
Although Nana Hashimoto didn't say that she didn't want to rely on Chiya, because the demonic aura on Minako's body was almost entangled with her soul, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who didn't dare to touch their souls easily, seemed helpless. They didn't want to take Minako to the old warehouse where the Nine-Tails Group was located, so they could only bring Minako to this Taisha to seek Senya's help.
"The strongest living Onmyoji in Japan?" Hearing Nana Hashimoto say this, a trace of surprise flashed in Ah Yin's eyes, but he still said stiffly: "No matter how strong he is, if he can't solve Minako's problem, it's useless." Although he said this, Ah Yin was the first to enter the Taisha here.
Before coming, he had been reminded by Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi that Ah Yin deliberately restrained the demonic energy on his body when he passed through the torii, and Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi also acted in the same way to avoid the demonic energy on his body triggering the enchantment on the torii, and the faint demonic aura on Minako's body has not yet reached the point where it can trigger the defensive enchantment of the Taisha here.
The group of four people passed through the torii gate and felt the fatigued magical effect of the Taisha after crossing the torii, whether it was Ah Yin and Minako, who set foot in the Taisha for the first time, or Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who had already made this place their home, felt the magic.
Ah Yin felt a little shocked in his heart, after all, this was the first time he had felt a magical power when he set foot in a place like a shrine, which gave him some confidence that Senya would be able to solve Minako's problem.
Led by Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, Ain and Minako walked through the cleaned and tidy courtyard to the entrance of the underground dojo.
