Chapter Forty-Four: Class B, but a stone's throw away.
As the last rays of sunlight fade away, the crescent moon rises in the sky, revealing the night view of Hakodate to the fullest.
"Moonlight... What's wrong? Seisuke looked at her senior sister with some puzzlement, the moon at night didn't seem to be any different, it was a bright crescent moon like yesterday.
Miwa bit her lower lip lightly, staring at the direction of the crescent moon on the coastline with empty eyes, but she couldn't help but think of what the proprietress said to her.
Kiyosuke stood aside and quietly looked at the moon sky, and he felt that his senior sister seemed to say something very important to himself.
After a while, Miwa sorted out her mood, and after exhaling deeply, she finally made up her mind, turned her head and said to Kiyosuke: "Junior-kun, moonlight..."
"Bang~"
Brilliant fireworks explode along the shore and colorful lights illuminate everyone's faces, making it the best vantage point.
"Wow, the fireworks are beautiful."
"Take a picture of me, Matsushima-kun."
The cheering and shouting of passers-by around was mixed with the explosion of fireworks. So that Kiyosuke couldn't hear what the senior sister was saying at all, and could only see that under the flickering neon light, the senior sister seemed to be frozen in place.
After a long time, as the last huge fireworks exploded in the sky, this sudden fireworks display finally came to an end.
On the way down the mountain, Kiyosuke learned from the small talk of passers-by that the fireworks festival was organized by a wealthy man in Hakodate, and it seems that in order to pursue a female star, he deliberately spent a lot of money to charter the venue and start a privately organized fireworks festival.
However, it wasn't until he went down the mountain and rode back to the hot spring hotel in Noboribetsu that Kiyosuke still didn't know what Senpai had said at that time.
Kiyosuke shook his head a little helplessly, after the fireworks festival, the senior sister didn't seem to be in a good mood, and she kept following the two of them silently all the time, even if Kiyosuke asked her, she just said that it was okay.
When I returned to the Noboribetsu hotel, it was also very late, and after Seisuke returned to his room after soaking in the hot springs, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Whew~" Kiyosuke exhaled deeply, and after sorting out his thoughts, he took out the spiritual fruit that Thomas gave him today from the space.
With a thought, a fingertip-sized fluorescence appeared in Kiyosuke's palm.
"The state of this fruit seems to be similar to the point of light that the Inari God gave me." Kiyosuke's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully examining the spiritual fruit in his palm.
If you close your eyes and don't perceive it, relying only on your sense of touch, Seisuke won't feel anything in his palm at all, and the spiritual fruit doesn't seem to have any weight.
But when he unfolded the 'god', he could sense a huge spiritual power in his palm, and this energy was only slightly weaker than his 'god'.
Although it is called a fruit, it is not eaten but wrapped in it by the gods and slowly integrated into one's body.
"Light as nothing, the whole body emits a faint fluorescence."
Kiyosuke frowned slightly, and looked up and compared the information on the terminal, after all, he and Tom had only met a few times, and he didn't have enough trust.
If Toms knew what Seisuke was thinking now, he would definitely cry out, because the spirit fruit could not be forged in theory.
In other words, if there is a way to forge a spiritual fruit, then the finished product is also a real fruit.
Because the essence of the spiritual fruit is a mass of spiritual energy that can be digested, if you want to fake the same effect, you must use spiritual energy to do it.
After all, only the spirit can be weightless, but also have infinite power, and if the fruit is forged with the spiritual power, it is not much different from the real fruit.
After checking the information for a long time, Kiyosuke slowly let down the vigilance in his heart, although the energy of this fruit is huge, it is very soft, which is completely in line with the characteristics of a spiritual fruit.
After a long time, Kiyosuke put down the terminal in his hand.
"Whew~"
Kiyosuke exhaled deeply, closed his eyes cross-legged, and after making a meditative gesture, the palms of his hands and fingertips were connected to form a ball, and he hugged the spiritual fruit in it.
A huge amount of spiritual power unfolded from Kiyosuke's body, forming an orderly force, as if many disembodied tentacles slowly wrapped Kiyosuke.
A mysterious barrier composed of faint white light appeared on the ground, and the pale white wall of light was wrapped outside the spiritual power, forming a ball of light with a diameter of about two meters to envelop Kiyosuke.
Although he is not an Onmyoji, it is not difficult to combine simple formations, and theoretically he can even become an Onmyoji, after all, his 'god' is already so powerful that it is close to the inhuman level.
And the function of this formation is to isolate his spiritual power, because after digesting the fruit, he will have a moment of uncontrollable surging spiritual power, if the spiritual power spreads explosively, the cultivators of the entire Noboribetsu City will perceive his spiritual power.
"Smack!"
A seemingly nonexistent cracking sound sounded, and the spiritual fruit in Kiyosuke's hand was like a broken egg under pressure, shattering into countless fluorescent dots.
"It feels, it's so warm."
Kiyosuke's slightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and after the fruit shattered, his whole body seemed to be back in his mother's womb, surrounded by a warm feeling, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
But this is much more comfortable than soaking in hot springs, and Seisuke can feel that his 'god' that has been stagnant for a long time has begun to grow again, like winter bamboo shoots that stubbornly burrow out of the hard soil in winter, although the growth rate is not fast, but it is very tenacious.
"Click." Kiyosuke's ears seemed to be hearing a vague auditory hallucination.
After a long time, the light wall barrier swelled suddenly, and the diameter was instantly expanded by half, if Kiyosuke hadn't been sitting in the living room, I'm afraid the barrier would have been propped up directly to Nagai's room.
"Whew~" Kiyosuke exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and the momentum in the room gradually calmed down, and the fluorescence in his palm was also completely digested by him and disappeared into the room.
"B-grade, just a stone's throw away."
A smile appeared on Seisuke's face, the effect of this spiritual fruit far exceeded his expectations, but he didn't expect that after digesting the fruit, he actually touched the threshold of the B grade, which made Seisuke very surprised.
"Even if the Sword Valley Perception fails to break through, as long as I can take one more fruit, I can definitely break through to the B level."
A mysterious color flashed in Kiyosuke's eyes, but he didn't expect that the task that he had taken on out of interest had now become the goal he had to complete for his upgrade.
"Perhaps, I can also help Nagai catch a Shikigami." Kiyosuke's heart moved.
Since Thomas dared to take on the task of 100 C-class souls, it means that the number of Shikigami on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival is probably far greater than this number, so there may be hope for Nagai's second Shikigami.
