Back on the first floor, Yukihime picked up the materials of "The Curse of the Dog God" and flipped through them one by one.

"Master, it's so boring."

Izumi sat on Haruhiko's shoulder and yawned.

She went out today, wearing a traditional kimono.

Make her look more like a figurine.

"Bored?"

Haruhiko smiled and asked, "Then what are you expecting to see?" ”

"It's all kinds of treasures."

Izumi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a somewhat excited tone.

"When did you become a money junkie?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow and asked.

Although the relics of the dog god he thought were the same, now it seems that it should be some kind of spell experiment.

Specifically, it depends on Yukihime's investigation.

I hope it can be of some use to him, otherwise, I will have to run for nothing.

"No, it's not."

Izumi suddenly felt a little aggrieved and said, "Because the space inside me has never been filled." ”

Haruhiko was silent for two seconds, and it was.

The space that comes with Izumi is quite large.

But the most loaded are charms or sundries.

In short, they have no value, and the functionality of Izumi is wasted.

"Okay, I'll find you a few treasures in a while."

Haruhako was thinking about the Takamagaha Ruins, and after the third order of the Spell Master, he could try to turn positive.

"Yay!"

Izumi immediately became excited, "Looking forward to the master's big baby!" ”

Haruhiko was slightly stunned.

That sounds a little weird.

Just as he was about to say more, Yukihime beckoned to him.

"What did you find?"

Haruhiko stepped forward and asked.

"It's the study of forbidden arts."

Yukihime said directly, "The Inu God uses the Inu God to possess himself to curse, but this forbidden technique is different in that it makes the Inu God possess himself. ”

"Possess yourself and curse yourself?"

Haruhiko asked, a little surprised.

"It's not a curse, it's a body swap."

Yukihime explained, "This Inugami envoy stole Inugami's demon body and transformed himself from a human into a youkai. ”

"How is that possible?!"

Okubo couldn't help but speak, "The dog god is the patron saint of our family, and no one will do this!" ”

"You think of psionics as too kind."

Xue Ji glanced at her, and asked in a flat tone, "You only need one forbidden technique to become a fourth order, why don't you do it?" ”

“……”

Okubo blessed the finch to stop talking, and finally fell silent.

"It can make the dog god defenseless, and it can only be an acquaintance."

Haruhiko looked at her and asked, "What is your uncle's strength?" ”

"I ......"

Okubo blessed the finch's pupils constricted, and she was just about to say that it was impossible, but who else was most likely besides her uncle?

Those older generations who died? Or are they two siblings?

"My uncle is only a third order, it shouldn't be possible, right?"

Okubo asked hesitantly, "And why do you want to leave such a big flaw?" Wouldn't it be better to destroy it? ”

"He can't destroy it."

Yukihime shook her head and said, "The barrier that guards this castle is a natural power of the dog god, and it should have sensed the problem at the last moment, so it threw the key out so that you can find it." ”

"Go and see your uncle, and you will know the truth of the matter."

After Haruhiko finished speaking, his eyes fell on Yukihime's face again.

He thought for a moment, leaned into his ear, and asked, "Do you want to call a helper?" ”

If it was really as Yukihime said, that uncle should be the fourth order at this time.

is also a fourth-order, which makes Haruhiko a little worried.

It's not that Xue Ji is not strong, but with a drag oil bottle.

"No, you don't."

Xue Ji chuckled lightly and said, "You've been working hard lately, so my current strength has far surpassed most of the Fourth Order. ”

Haruhiko was a little surprised.

What do I try to do with you?

Oooh, he realized what Yukihime was talking about.

It's the effort of the night, or the hard work.

Since Yukihime was so sure, Haruhiko didn't say anything more.

He wouldn't be in danger.

After all, there are many means to save your life.

It is Okubo Bless Sparrow and Okubo Bless Buka may be more dish.

But if they are really dead, Haruhiko will not have much reaction.

Just two strangers after all.

Haruhiko put away all the documents and left the castle.

Led by Okubo and Okubo Yuku, they went to the current residence of the Okubo clan.

A two-storey cabin that looks quite shabby.

Haruhiko learned about it on the way.

Their uncle was called Shin Okubo.

The experience was quite normal.

When he was a child, he worked hard to cultivate, and when he grew up, he became a priest of the dog god, and he had a close relationship with the guardian god of the family.

In addition, even when he is fifty years old, he still has not married and had children, which is relatively rare.

Okubo took out the key and opened the door.

"You're back?"

When Shin Okubo heard the voice, he stood up and asked, "Inugami......"

He noticed Yukihime and Haruhiko, and immediately frowned.

Especially the former.

He felt a hint of danger.

Most of the strength is higher than him.

"Who are these two......?"

Okubo asked thoughtfully.

"Uncle."

Okubo blessed the bird without introduction, but said directly, "We have opened the enchantment of the dog god. ”

"Nonsense!"

Okubo's face changed slightly, "Didn't I say that?" Let you come back to me after you get the Relic of the Inu God, why are you acting alone? ”

“……”

Okubo was silent for two seconds and asked, "Did you get the demon body of Inugami-sama?" ”

"Naturally, no."

Okubo shook his head and asked, "Why do you ask?" ”

Okubo was about to say more, but was interrupted by Yukihime.

Her approach is simple and crude.

Directly raised his hand, and the spiritual energy turned into wind and snow, which swept away in an instant.

In the midst of the screaming sound, there was the breaking sound of furniture and the like tumbling outward.

In the blink of an eye, the living room was a mess.

Okubo's heart was shocked, and the sense of crisis made his hairs stand on end.

Without any hesitation, he used the demon body.

Because Yukihime's strength exceeded his expectations.

Clusters of fur appeared on his face, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a dog's head.

"Uncle!"

Okubo Yuzaki and Okubo Yukuku saw this scene and finally understood that what Yukihime said before was not false.

It was Okubo who used forbidden arts, killed the dog god, and obtained his fourth-order demon body.

"Two idiots!"

He roared, and the long knife in his hand glowed violently.

In the next second, countless sword lights lingered, blocking in front of him.

A snowstorm is coming.

The psionic energy fluctuated violently, like a tsunami spreading out in all directions.

"Give me death!"

Shin Okubo's body broke through the center of the explosion just now like an arrow from the string and rushed towards Yukihime.

The long knife in his hand was raised high, and the blade of the knife flashed with a sharp edge.

Inugami is a rare youkai who is good at using swords.

The high-level dog god is a great swordsman.

Yukihime looked at him expressionlessly.

Countless frosts surfaced and covered her skin and spread towards her hair.

In an instant, the demon body transformation was completed.

She reached out and grasped the blade of the knife.

When the two met, there was an immediate crunch.

"Snow Girl?!"

Shin Okubo recognized Yukihime's identity and blurted out.

But it was too late to be shocked, because the frost flew up along the blade.

He gritted his teeth, let go of his hand, and stepped back.

The long knife was frozen by the ice and fell to the ground, and suddenly there was a dull thud.

Yukihime raised her hand indifferently, and the ice and snow condensed in front of her into a sword, roaring out, covering Okubo Shin's whole body.

His figure instantly turned into an afterimage, and he frantically dodged in the living room.

Smack.

Broken windows.

Okubo Shin fled outside.

He already knew Yukihime's strength, but he couldn't beat it.

At this time, he chose to retreat very heartily.

With a wave of her right hand, an endless cold current rolled up in the air.

When he tried to escape from the compound, it was like a man-eating flower, covering him.

"Damn it!"

Okubo Shin's face changed drastically.

The pair of dog's eyes suddenly spun, and more psionic energy poured out.

In an instant, a translucent barrier appeared around him.

Haruhiko walked out of the living room in a few steps, and when he saw this layer of enchantment, he immediately thought of the enchantment outside the ancient castle, which was exactly the same.

A thought flashed through his mind, and without hesitation, he took out a burst charm and pasted it on the wooden box, and threw it at Okubo Shin.

Seeing this, Xue Ji also understood his thoughts, and chuckled, her indifference was like a spring flower, and her face became extraordinarily bright.

The ice flower in the air disintegrated in an instant, and then turned into a popsicle like a spear.

At the same time, the surface of the wooden box was covered with a layer of frost.

Okubo recognized the wooden box, and without saying a word, took out another long knife.

There was a slight tremor in the air, and a white sword fell from the sky and slashed on the wooden box.

But it didn't work.

Bang.

The Burst Charm is forced to take effect during a fierce collision.

Psionic energy swept through flames.

The wooden box did not suffer any damage, but instead smashed into the barrier with the help of the explosion and the guidance of Yukihime.

The long-awaited ice spear roared past, breaking open his heart, and blood spurted immediately.

In the next second, the blood coagulated and turned into frost, and in the blink of an eye, Shin Okubo became an ice sculpture.

It fell straight to the ground and shattered to the ground.

The game prompt sounds.

[You helped destroy the special dog god Okubo Shin, and gained 140 psionic points.] 】

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow, not bad.

The main thing is that he just threw a wooden box.

But if that's all there is to gain, then I'm sorry for the difficulty.

It shows that the real reward should be Shin Okubo's spell.

Most of them must have a dog god to use, but some don't.

It was collected by Shin Okubo when he first created the forbidden arts.

And those are all curse-type spells.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko looked at Yukihime.

She had flipped through it before, so it should be clearer.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko walked up to Yukihime and whispered a few words.

"Yes, I'll sort it out for you when I get back."

Yukihime nodded and said, "There are also three fourth-order curses among them, which are quite vicious. ”

Malevolent?

Haruhiko was interested.

As a player, I believe that as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter what the side effects are.

"What are you two going to do?"

Haruhiko turned his head to look at Okubo Yukin and Okubo Yuku, and asked.

Although Yukihime kills their uncle Shin Okubo, they show no hatred.

First, it can't be beaten.

The second is that in their minds, the dog god has a higher status than the uncle.

This is normal in Kochi Prefecture.

Otherwise, there would be no such profession as a dog god priest.

In fact, the fact that they call the yokai gods says it all.

Okubo is already a sinner who kills gods with caution.

"We'll be looking for a new inu god."

Okubo Yujaku took a deep breath and said.

Haruhiko didn't say anything more.

This trip to the Inugami Relic is also considered to be the end.

He said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the University of Tokyo's South Park with Yukihime.

It was already afternoon, so I didn't go back to Inari Shrine.

Haruhiko and Jinguji Fuyugo explained the situation and got a 'um' word.

An answer that fits her personality quite well.

However, to Haruhiko's surprise, the white frost is still not at home.

He scratched his head, this demon won't run away, will it?

Putting the matter of white frost aside for the time being, Haruhiko looked at Yukihime.

She's sorting out the curse she's brought back from the Okubo clan.

Haruhiko also left a share for the two siblings.

If they are lucky, maybe in more than ten years and a hundred years, they will indeed be able to regain the glory of the family.

"These are those three fourth-order curses."

Yukihime handed over a document and said, "If you want to use it, you need to be cautious. ”

Haruhiko nodded, opened the information, and looked at it.

Three curses should be a series.

[Heart-Grabbing Empathy: Fourth-order spell, 10,000 psionic powers, use curses on specific objects, so that they cannot give birth to hearts that hurt you. 】

[Heart-snatching Manipulation: Fourth-order spell, 10,000 points of spiritual energy, casting curses, can control the body of a specific target at any time. 】

[Heart-Snatching: A fourth-order spell, 10,000 points of spiritual energy, casting a spell in the soul of a specific target, making it muddy. 】

Haruhiko suddenly remembered Okubo Shen, he was able to seize the demon body of the fourth-order dog god, and it should be inseparable from these three curses.

He would like to call it a three-piece dog training suit.

According to the game's setting, the fourth-order curse, under normal circumstances, will have no effect on the fifth-order psionics.

But below the fifth order, it is difficult to ignore.

Especially the first, second, and third orders, without some means of defense, are almost inevitable.

But the fourth order, a little more troublesome.

It's not so easy to plant a curse smoothly.

But once successful, it is equivalent to having a fourth-order faithful servant.

A name popped up in Haruhiko's mind.

Mina Utsunomiya.

Because of her synaesthesia spell and heavenly power spell, she is equivalent to a fifth-order spiritual energy.

But she's only the fourth order after all.

This means that she cannot be ignored.

In the entire world, she may be the only one who can compete with the fourth order and the fifth order.

It's the best target.

The only pity is that Haruhiko has to go to the third order to learn the spell of the fourth order.

There's no hurry.

I don't need it now.

It didn't take long for Yukihime to finish all the curses.

There were twenty-three in total, and all but three of the fourth order were third.

For Haruhiko, it's just right.

However, the effects of the curse have always been strange, and they are all tricks behind it.

If you learn it, you can't use it in frontal combat.

Ordinary psionics, if they don't specialize in curses, won't learn.

But Haruhiko is a player, so let's talk about it after learning it.

Night falls.

While Haruhiko was studying the curse, White Frost suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was slightly stunned and asked, "Where did you go before?" ”

White Frost glanced at him, ignored him, and just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

It thinks that Haruhiko can't understand fox language, so he doesn't bother to make up reasons.

But in reality, he could understand it.

Because of the title of ventriloquist.

Haruhiko did not actively expose it.

After all, White Frost is not his own demon now.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to pick the curse.

More than half of the curses are useless.

For example, the effect of heart-grabbing and good pregnancy is to make a specific object pregnant, but it will be difficult to give birth, so you can only choose one of the big and small ones.

In short, two words are vicious.

After hesitating for a moment, Haruhiko finally decided which one he wanted to learn.

[Heart-Snatching Slowness: 1,000 psionic energy that causes a specific subject to be sluggish, slowing down the speed by one-third within a minute.] 】

It can be used in battle, too.

It's not like it's heart-grabbing and pregnant, but it can't be immediately effective when cast.

Haruhiko came to the garden.

This curse has to find a specific object to train on.

He looked at the tree in front of the door.

Of course, he is not such a ruthless person.

He has the Autumn Water Regeneration skill, so it's not a big problem.

Time passed, and soon it was late at night.

Haruhiko let go of the tree, returned to the living room, took a shower and slept.

Tenderness passed overnight.

A new week begins.

Haruhiko carried his schoolbag and headed to school.

Halfway through, I met Rin Hoshino.

No, no, it's Hoshino Hoshino.

She was dressed in a shrine maiden costume and stood on the way to school for Haruhiko with a blank face.

Haruhiko suddenly remembered something.

He should go to a school for the deaf and mute to learn lip language.

Before, because the fourth-order divine envoy Morikawa Teru was there, he put it on hold.

But then he was caught, and there was no danger.

However, Haruhiko has been busy these days, so he forgot to go to school.

Wait, there seems to be one more thing.

He promised Hoshino Hotaru that he would go to Izumo Shrine.

As a result, a week passed, and I didn't go.

It's too late.

And Haruhiko is thinking about a question, can you ask Aoi Hoshino about the first forbidden area?

Or don't ask her, ask Hoshino Hotaru to see if she has any clues.

According to Yui Tachibana, Hoshino Hotaru and Rin Hoshino will go to the first forbidden area after seven years.

They can't just ignore everything, right?

"Hotaru, good morning."

Haruhiko took the initiative to greet him.

Not surprisingly, Hoshino Hoshino stretched out his hands and hugged him.

She stood on tiptoe slightly, and slowly brought her delicate little face in front of Haruhiko.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes did not have too much emotion.

The pink little mouth applies lipstick, which is shiny, as if it is jelly.

Haruhiko didn't hesitate and took a bite.

Cool and soft.

It is the best jelly.

Hoshino Hotaru stared at him expressionlessly, but the movements on his mouth were positive.

It creates a great contrast.

After a long time, the two of them breathed fresh air again.

"When are you going to Izumo Shrine?"

Hoshino Hoshino took out her phone, and there was a line of words on the screen that had been typed a long time ago.

Haruhiko felt like some kind of scumbag.

He thought about it for a moment, but there wasn't much going on lately.

The main thing is to practice the Snow Maiden's breathing method and make charms.

Just wait for these two to reach the third order.

As for the curse or something, it's not in a hurry.

"I'll go tomorrow."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and said.

"No, don't come."

Hoshino bit her lip and typed.

Although she is still expressionless, you can feel her strong emotions from this action.

"Definitely come."

Haruhiko stretched out his hand, touched her head, and said.

After all, it's not for Hoshino Hotaru, it's also for his parents.

Five thousand words.
