After leaving Uehara's house, a night passed.

On Saturday morning, Li Wu first went to see the light, and it was almost noon before she was ready to leave to meet Xingchuan and the professionals she said.

The meeting place is Hoshikawa's designated coffee shop called Nineball.

Although it is a holiday, there are not many customers in the store, and the interior has a calm and warm atmosphere.

When I entered the door, I saw Hoshikawa, who was sitting in the window seat, stand up and waved at him.

Today she wears a white cardigan sweater with a black ribbon tied with a bow at the neckline and a red skirt over the outside.

When he got closer, he noticed that there was another person sitting next to Hoshikawa, using a knife and fork to deal with the fruit cake in front of him.

"Mikoto?"

He couldn't help but read it out loud.

"Thank you for visiting, may the gods bless you—wait, how did you tell I was a shrine maiden?"

As if instinctively reacting, the other party looked up and reported a series of penetrations, and then reacted.

It was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, and her appearance was indistinguishable from that of a normal college student, but instead of the usual leather bag, she had a long strip of object wrapped in a coarse cloth.

"I've heard Hoshikawa say before that it's called the Yamanjin Shrine Joint Committee, so I wonder if the person who came here would be a shrine maiden."

In fact, I saw the text [Shrine Maiden] written on her head, and accidentally read it out.

Li Wu sat down in the seat opposite the two.

"I see, I did work as a shrine maiden at the nearby Yamazu Shrine. Ah, but I don't wear shrine maiden costumes every day, so if Li Wujun wants to see it, he can come to worship, right? ”

"Sister Yuxi, now is not the time for publicity, let's get down to business."

Hoshikawa Aoi tugged at Miss Witch's sleeve.

"Am I not doing the right thing to increase the number of visitors to the shrine? cough, but Xiao Kui is right, I've heard Li Wujun's things about her roughly say, you awakened your spiritual abilities, and you were involved in the scene of a magical girl maintaining love and peace, and you also encountered a monster, right? What a legendary experience. ”

"Wait a minute." Li Wu raised his hand and interrupted the words of the witch who seemed to be named Yuki, "First of all, what is the spiritual ability? ”

"Let's start here......," she sighed, "To put it simply, in Sakurajima, whether it's a youkai, a ghost, or a monster, you can basically be classified as a spirit, after all, everything has a spirit, and a person who has the power to see or even expel them will be called a spirit." ”

"So, is your Joint Committee of Eighty Thousand Shrines the body that manages the psychics?"

Li Wu asked tentatively.

Hearing this question, Xingchuan laughed first: "Classmate Li Wu, don't you think that the Federation of Shrines is an official organization?" ”

"Listening to the serious atmosphere when you introduced me, of course I would have thought so."

"Have you forgotten the concept of worldview that I mentioned? For ordinary people, they are equivalent to living in the worldview of "everyday". ”

"When encountering supernatural events, you will also regard them as your own hallucinations, and after encountering demons, you will quickly forget them, and when something incredible happens in front of you, you will automatically understand it as a common sense appearance."

This is really an idealistic statement.

Yuki took over: "So, it's impossible for us to reach a close connection with the secular regime, even if something unusual is reported in the past, we will be regarded as a liar or simply forgotten in the blink of an eye. It's just that the cooperation between the superpowers and the official is a little closer. ”

Are you talking about the nine lessons of public security? It does sound very official from the name.

"Actually, we are closer to an organization like a non-governmental association, and this meeting is just to ask Li Wujun, are you interested in becoming a priest?"

Hearing the word association, Li Wu almost subconsciously linked it with the villain organization, which is to blame.

Just when he hesitated for a moment, Yuki had already continued enthusiastically: "If you come to our Yamazu Shrine now, you will be the only one in the future, and you can enjoy the shrine maiden costume!" ”

"I think Yuki-san, you've misunderstood, I don't have any special interest in shrine maiden costumes. And I don't want to be a clergyman at a young age. ”

"Look, I'll just say that classmate Li Wu will definitely not be willing."

Hoshikawa Aoi said inexplicably with some pride.

"That's a pity, obviously the priest doesn't affect the marriage...... Let's at least swap the line. Let's go with Aoi. ”

"We had an exchange yesterday at noon."

Li Wu took the coffee brought by the waiter: "Anyway, it's time to talk about the real business." ”

He stared at Hoshikawa Aoi and said, "What did you solemnly say about introducing professionals before, but in fact, it was mainly to induce me to come over today, right?" ”

The latter folded his hands and bowed his head: "I'm very sorry! ”

"They even blackmailed me for a meal of takoyaki."

"I'm going to have coffee today!"

After making a fuss for a while, the magical girl Masasei said, "Actually, Sister Yuki and I are teaming up to deal with an incident that may endanger the entire Chiyo City, and I want to ask Li Wu-san's help." ”

"Do you remember what I said? Different worldviews generally do not interfere with each other, but occasionally they intersect. ”

"Now is when that 'occasional' happens. I found out that there is a guy who is based on the monsters of the negative world, stitching the worldview of 'animism' and creating an unprecedented evil. ”

Why does it feel like you're going to face a big boss just out of the novice village?

"Does this really work with me?" Li Wu rubbed his forehead, "The witch must be more experienced than me." ”

"I don't really have any fighting power."

Yuki raised her hand and said proudly.

"You don't have to be so proud. But she's right, Yuki-san is good at making charms and props, but she's really not suitable for combat. In the absence of further evidence, it is also difficult to convince others to come to Chiyo to help. ”

"And Li Wu!" Hoshikawa suddenly stood up and assumed a pose that was common in Amelia's recruitment advertisements, "You killed a youkai when you first awakened, you are a person with potential!" As long as we take you to deal with several supernatural locations in the city and accumulate some combat experience, we will definitely be able to give the mastermind behind the scenes an unexpected blow! ”

"Take me to deal with the supernatural location, that is, do you want to farm demons and ghosts......"

Li Wu touched his chin.

"Hey, why do you use that kind of game leveling term? In short, Li Wu, are you willing to help? ”

She sat down nervously.

"Hmm......"

"I'll use the funds of the Countermeasures Bureau to pay you."

"Isn't that just a bribe, you despicable magical girl!"

Can you maintain a little innocence?

As if even Li Wu's mobile phone couldn't stand it, it let out a buzz.

"Forget it, if there is a real crisis in the city, I will also suffer, so it is better to find a way to solve the problem first. I join you. ”

"Yay!"

Hoshikawa clenched his fist happily.

Yuki picked up the long object wrapped in cloth and handed it to Li Wu: "It's finally not in vain, my efforts to prepare it in advance." ”

Li Wu untied the strip of cloth that was wrapped around it, and what caught his eye was a black solid metal rod with the handle slightly upturned, the end painted red, and curved downward into a forked opening.

"Crowbar?"

"That's right, it's the crowbar that I personally opened, and it's really the most handy weapon for beginners in martial arts, and the ghosts that are beaten by it will become Buddhas."

Yuki puffed up her chest and explained.

Li Wu's expression distorted, because in his eyes, words appeared on the top of this crowbar!

It was the first time he had seen it on a dead object, and the name was hard to describe.

【Kind Crowbar】

Because it's sending the donor to become a Buddha, is it a kind crowbar?!

Xingchuan clapped his hands to attract attention, and concluded: "Yuki also made a lot of rune paper, and it will be distributed to Li Wu later, so without further ado, let's decide which supernatural location we want to go to first." ”

"I have a place to recommend before that, and it's likely that there are demons and monsters going on there."

Li Wu glanced at his phone.

At the top of the screen, a new LINE message with location is displayed:

Masaki Uehara: Brother Li Wu, save me!
