Chapter 9: The Magical Girl Rejects the Darkness
The good news is that when Li Wu went to check on the victim, Uehara woke up on his own.
The bad news is that the excessive love of the wet girl (?) Apparently cast a huge shadow on him.
Like a man who had just been rescued from drowning, he was pale and trembling.
Originally, the bunch of wandering spirits hidden on his body were also missing at this time, and I don't know if he was scared away.
This state is obviously not a good time to have more communication, but the information given by the spirit of the Maiden at the end cannot be ignored.
Hoshikawa Aoi didn't want the abnormalities on her body to be exposed, so she chose to hide with Miss Shrine Maiden.
Li Wu only said that he had just arrived and defeated the youkai, and euphemistically explained the last warning of the wet girl, and then asked about his uncle from Uehara's mouth.
Unfortunately, Uehara didn't know much about this uncle, and according to him, his parents died in a car accident when he was in junior high school, and his father's younger brother adopted him.
"Uncle he seems to be a businessman, but I don't know what kind of business he runs, only that he should be very wealthy." Uehara regained his composure slightly, "I don't usually see him much, but he did give me a place to live and plenty of money to live on. ”
He glanced at Li Wu with a wry smile: "To be honest, if it weren't for classmate Li Wu, I would definitely not believe that he would do anything bad." ”
"Actually, I can't say what role your uncle plays, and even if the girl's last words are true, maybe she actually meant to be careful of your uncle, who is in danger."
"I hope so." Uehara stared ahead a little blankly, and only came back to his senses after a while, "I'll go home first, I can't keep bothering classmate Li Wu." ”
Li Wu really can't be his bodyguard all the time, he can only hope that he will be captured by monsters like a certain monk on the other road.
After seeing Uehara leave, the duo who had been hiding appeared out of nowhere.
Miss Shrine said that there was still work to be done at the shrine in the evening, so let's go first. Hoshikawa stopped by Li Wu's route home, so they went to the station together to wait for the bus.
She put her hand on her chin and put on a detective posture: "I think Uehara-san's uncle is very suspicious. ”
"Wow, if it weren't for Hoshikawa's reminder, this clue would have been missed!"
“…… Li Wu, I don't know if it's my delusion, since we became friends, have you been complaining about me? ”
"Maybe it's because Hoshikawa has created too many slots."
When did we become friends? Is this the social power of a magical girl?
There was a moment of silence.
Due to the intermittent rain brought by the wet girl, the wind with a hint of moisture still blew through the cherry blossom trees next to the station, shook off a few petals, and fell lightly on the stagnant pool on the ground.
The buses at this station are really slow.
Although the two of them can be regarded as forming a temporary comrade-in-arms, in the final analysis, they have only known classmates for a few days, and it is normal to suddenly have no topic to talk about.
Li Wu knew that she was a magical girl, but she knew almost nothing about Aoi Hoshikawa, her hobbies, her past, and the reasons for stepping into the extraordinary, these were not areas that a classmate should easily set foot in.
In the same way, Hoshikawa is the same for him.
Probably to break this awkward atmosphere, the magical girl took a few deep breaths, and just when Li Wu thought she was going to say something-
She pulled out her phone and started playing mobile games.
That's all too true, isn't it?
Li Wu suddenly laughed.
"Does Hoshikawa-san like to play games?"
"Huh? I like it, whether it's a home game or an arcade machine. ”
"That's pretty heavy player, isn't it?"
He pondered for a while and asked the question: "Hoshikawa, why do you insist on tracking down the so-called mastermind?" ”
"Huh?" She tilted her head, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the question.
"You've said you don't have enough evidence to prove your hypothesis, right? Continuing to track down will only lead to danger, and will not do any good, right? ”
"Li Wu's question is really strange, aren't you still involved yourself."
That's because I do get something out of it.
Hoshikawa Aoi took a few steps forward and turned around: "Classmate Li Wu, guess how I became a magical girl?" ”
"If you ask, it sounds like a magnificent past."
To be honest, in the time of this conversation, Li Wu had already gone from signing a contract with the mysterious beast at the scene of the car accident to the middle-aged social animal picking up the transformer for his daughter again.
"I always think you're thinking something rude!"
She glared at Li Wu with some anger, and continued: "Actually, it's not magnificent at all, I was born in an ordinary, but very happy family, I grew up as an ordinary person, and when I was in middle school, I was approached by the Countermeasures Bureau and said that I had magical qualifications and invited me to become a magical girl, that's it." ”
"So." She put her hands behind her back and looked at Li Wu, "I think I am very lucky compared to many people, such as Uehara-san, I want to have the strength to protect my daily life, protect my loved ones, and protect this city." ”
"Because the so-called magical girl is love and hope!"
Li Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Oh, quite a handsome speech. ”
After Xingchuan maintained that posture for a while, he suddenly squatted down and hugged his head with both hands: "Ahhh ”
"I really think it's handsome, and I don't mean to complain."
"This sentence is already redundant!"
The bus that Hoshikawa was going to take stopped at the stop.
The active magical girl stood up and turned her head before getting into the car.
"In addition, classmate Li Wu can be regarded as being involved in this matter because of me."
"So I'll protect you too, and if you're in any danger, remember to ask me for help, huhu."
She triumphantly boarded the bus.
The serious Hoshikawa Aoi and the Hoshikawa Aoi who usually take off the line don't know which one is the real her.
Li Wu took out his mobile phone and turned it into selfie mode.
Finally, I can see what effect the victory over the Maiden has done to the line of [Exorcist] on my head.

When he saw the content of the latest line, many fragments of knowledge that had been sunk in his mind after defeating the wet girl suddenly appeared, like a string of pearls with broken threads being strung together again, as if he himself remembered these contents, but he had forgotten them in the depths of his subconscious, and now he picked up the forgotten contents.
