After school the day after visiting the shrine.

Li Wu alone began to act as a classmate.

Perhaps because of his profession, Teraya's presence in the classroom is not high, and when he slips out of the classroom like a shadow, almost no one pays attention.

Li Wu found a place in the corridor where no one was around, and took out the talisman paper given by Miss Shrine Maiden.

After using it, it feels like you have dived into the depths of the sea, and the reality is slightly blurred as if it is shrouded in a thin veil.

Tried to wave her hand in front of the ordinary girl passing by, but she ignored it.

I've always been on the side of the side that sees through stealth before, but this time I experienced the feelings of those guys who can be invisible, and the taste is quite novel.

After following Teraya out of the school gate, the other party's whereabouts immediately became secretive, and he quickly walked through the streets, naturally blending in with the surrounding crowd, and when he came out of a dark alley, he changed into a hooded outfit that covered his face.

If it weren't for the [ninja] on his head being particularly conspicuous among a group of ordinary words, Li Wu would really be able to chase him away.

To be on the safe side, he used his newfound powers.

Just as the knowledge of the Kurigara Demon Suppression Spell will gradually flow into his mind, he also has a preliminary understanding of the approximate usage of the two abilities attached to the [Sage] text in the past few days.

Compared to the [Exorcist], which directly increases combat power, the current power of [Sage] is closer to the usage of support.

Self-fulfilling prophecy is the ability to declare what you want to do once a day, and increase the success rate of events on the premise of putting in effort to act.

After obtaining the power of the [Exorcist], Li Wu was also constantly thinking about the essence of the ability he had obtained, as far as he could see, both the [Exorcist] and the [Sage] were closely related to human myths, legends and cultural concepts.

Speaking of famous sages, it is difficult not to think of the Eternal King of Celtic legends, as the friend of King Arthur in the original texts of many brave legends in later generations, Merlin.

In Celtic mythology, there is a so-called geis, which can be translated as taboos, oaths, blessings and powers obtained by following certain codes of conduct, but also curses and misfortunes.

It profoundly influenced the cultural structure of later generations, and there is a power similar to Geis in Shakespeare's famous work "Macbeth", and in that play, Macbeth's actions in fear of the fulfillment of the prophecy instead contributed to the fulfillment of the prophecy, which is a typical self-fulfilling prophecy.

Perhaps this is where the prototype of this capability comes from.

[Reciting Glory] is to strengthen the power of others, but the activation conditions are more stringent.

Li Wu had already made a prediction in advance that he would be able to follow the ninja all the way to his destination - with the current level of completion of the [Sage], he vaguely felt that it would have a negative effect if the requirements were higher.

In fact, according to the secret knowledge that flowed into his mind, the mere possession of this ability would have a small disturbance to his own destiny, with a visible impact on a given day.

Perhaps this prophecy had already worked, and whenever Teraya tried to emulate the Assassin Brotherhood in the city's alleys or blend in with the crowds, his presence would always be appropriately exposed to Li Wu's eyes.

After spanning a few blocks behind the temple house, Li Wu followed him into a factory abandoned in an open field.

The factory has long since been emptied of possible production equipment, and lone steel beams hang above the empty concrete floor.

But in the empty room, there is the sound of heavy breathing that does not belong to humans.

In the center of the room, a thick iron chain tied to a humanoid beast, covered in gray rough, steel needle-like fur, pointed snout, orange pupils and triangular ears formed a ferocious wolf head, above which was written the words "Social Animal Werewolf".

What the hell is this name that is as unknown as the dancing king zombie!

As if stimulated by the living creature in front of him, the werewolf's muscles tensed like undulating waves, and he even pulled the iron chains wrapped around his body, shaking the load-bearing pillars behind him into a wall of ash.

With a vicious wind, the tall beast struck the dwarf ninja with its claws.

As if not anticipating this sudden change, Teraya's left roll dodged the blow in a somewhat embarrassed way, and pulled a short knife from the inside of the hood.

The failed werewolf left three claw marks on the ground, and it turned around deftly, opening its mouth to let out a menacing roar.

But it was greeted by three arrows in their hands that came almost simultaneously.

The werewolf closed its eyelids, allowing the metal artifact to collide with the flesh.

However, the muscles triumphed over the steel, and the arrows in their hands were easily bounced off by its fur and fell to the ground like plastic toys.

Seemingly enraged by the tickling attack, it fell on all fours and ran over the temple house like a charging armored vehicle.

The brief distance between a man and a beast was crossed in an instant, and the werewolf who stood up again waved its two sharp claws like a fly.

Rubble splattered, but instead of blood, a broken stake flew with it, and the ninja who circled to the side stabbed the short knife in his hand into the werewolf's left arm, trying to cut a bleeding wound.

But the overwhelming disparity in physical performance shattered his thoughts, and the tip of the blade was stuck in the tight muscles after only a few minutes of penetration, only restricting his movement for a moment.

And this moment is enough to become the winner or loser in the transcendent battle.

Before the ninja could abandon the sword, the pained werewolf grabbed him by the throat with his right hand and lifted him into the air.

Terraya Mahiro waits indifferently for death to come.

It's not a big deal, because paying the price for one's weakness and carelessness is a matter of course for a ninja.

It's just a pity that I missed the duel with my sister.,Probably it's like the unfinished "Bad Jokes".,It's an inevitable regret.。

But death did not come.

A hand grasped the werewolf's right arm, which was disproportionately slender compared to its thick arm, but it was also the visual contrast that the hand was slowly and irresistibly squeezing the muscular arm of the beast.

Almost like a sponge, the werewolf trembled and applied force to the right side of its body, trying to fight the pressure of the heavy machinery, but the bulging muscles and skin oozed drops of blood, and the bones creaked, and it had to let go of its right claw.

Terraya Mahiro fell to the ground, still expressionless, but he ran away with a rather quick movement.

So Li Wu opened the power of the manifestation of the law phase.

Before defeating Yu Uehara, this mountain-moving power from the Fudo Ming King was enough for him to lift the bull ghost and set off a storm, not to mention the fact that the completion of the [Exorcist] has been raised to a higher level.

He twisted slightly, grasping the wrist of the werewolf's right arm.

Like a windmill being played by a naughty child, the center of gravity of the huge werewolf was instantly reversed, and as if it had been thrown over the shoulder, it took its fixed right arm as the axis, and hit the ground on the concrete floor with its head and feet, creating a dense crack in the roaring sound of collision.

"Wait a minute, please don't kill him!"

Teraya Mahiro opened his mouth to remind, urgency could be heard in his tone, but his face remained expressionless.

"I didn't mean to kill him in the first place."

Li Wu let go of his hand and patted off a few handfuls of gray hair.

He wanted to observe the situation again, but he couldn't watch the client's younger brother just burst out and die on the spot in a way that was in line with the ninja's death.

The knocked out werewolf shrank and became smaller, turning into a middle-aged uncle who was unconscious in the pit that came out of the impact.

"Aren't you asking why I'm here or something?"

After staring at Teraya for a while, Li Wu couldn't help but ask.

The expressionless short ninja tilted his head: "Why is Li Wu-chan here?" ”

"And why are you here?"

"I was answered with a question after I asked a question according to Li Wu's request, which is also too bad."

This guy looks at the poker face but has a heart to complain!

"I was asked by your sister to check what you've been doing after school lately."

Recall that Rika Teraya didn't seem to emphasize the requirement of secrecy either, so Li Wu confidently stated the purpose.

Teraya was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice, "That guy always does something troublesome. ”

He pointed to the uncle who was lying in the pit in the death posture of Yamu ○ and said, "Werewolves sometimes can't control their transformations, and he is a resident of this neighborhood who has recently locked himself here for this reason. ”

It turned out that it was not a social animal among werewolves, but a werewolf turned into a social animal.

"I accepted his commission and came from time to time to make sure he was out of trouble."

"But you can't stop it even if you get out of trouble!"

Li Wu subconsciously blurted out, and the ninja boy turned his face.

"It's just because I made a mistake in the battle, and I can't count it as a loss."

"From a common sense point of view, this is called losing......

"Ninjas are beings who transcend common sense!"

"Expressionless said a bloody speech?!"

"Actually, I'm now struggling with how to express my gratitude to Li Wu for saving his life."

"Isn't it okay to say thank you normally?"

"If you don't want to accept my cut off little finger, can you only introduce your sister to classmate Li Wu?"

"I don't want both!"

This kind of cold-faced men's outfit is unexpectedly difficult to do when it is stupid!

Teraya Mahiro carried the werewolf (ordinary social animal form) in a coma and carried it back to the load-bearing pillar and tied it up.

After finishing his work, he looked at Li Wu: "Why don't you invite Li Wu to dinner, I know that there is a good izakaya nearby." ”

As a Donghua Chinese, Li Wu naturally doesn't mind being treated.

This izakaya called Koharuhru is a thriving type of business, and it is almost full before nightfall.

The two of them sat at a wooden table on the inside of the house, on which dishes such as kebabs and tamagoyaki were arranged.

Since they are all minors, naturally there is no alcohol.

"It's not been a full moon recently, isn't it true that werewolves don't lose control of themselves until then?"

Li Wu picked up a skewer of roasted birds and asked.

"According to my uncle's speculation, it may be because a fairly high-ranking clan has recently come to Chiyo City, which has caused the restlessness of the werewolves nearby."

In other words, are there any powerful werewolves coming to the city?

Probably nothing will happen.

"Honestly, I thought you were the kind of person who fits the poker face personality better."

As boys of the same age, less than one meal is enough to joke with each other.

"Actually, I lost my expression because of the grassy trials I endured in my childhood."

"Are you confusing your experience with someone in Poland......"

"Those who endure should hold back their smiles."

“……？”

"It's actually a bad joke, and it means ......"

"Okay, let's stop."

"I heard your sister say, you have a duel to fight?"

When he was about to finish eating, Li Wu finally asked the right question.

This kind of incident, which contains a lot of powerful hidden secrets at a glance, whether it is out of inner gossip or his speculation about the conditions for obtaining the text on his head, is worth asking.

"That's right, that's how the successive heads of the Teraya clan decided, and this time it will definitely be my victory."

"So confident?"

"I have to do it, people who are not strong enough are not worthy of the surname of Teraya."

"Your family atmosphere doesn't sound very friendly."

"There is no such thing as unconditional friendship in the world, is it? Even between family members. ”

Teraya Mahiro said lightly: "Now my sister cares about me, and it's only because I'm her opponent in a duel that she looks at me." ”

Li Wu felt that it was not like that.

The ninja boy said goodbye after settling the account and left first.

Although he listened to the family affairs of the temple, Li Wu did not have much emotion.

And he felt that Teraya Mahiro's mentality most likely did not reflect the real situation.

It's just that he thinks of another, more familiar friend.

Arisa's father is becoming more and more demanding of her.

Is this conditional love?

Soon after Li Wu was born, his mother divorced his father, seemingly because he couldn't stand the relationship of his profession that required him to run around the world.

Li Wu himself has been in a state of free-range for a long time, so when it comes to family relationships, he really has no experience in dealing with them.

Some melancholy teenagers took out their mobile phones under the stars and walked to the station.

According to the law of negative energy transfer, let's harass my friends.

"Hoshikawa-san, I don't understand some family problems now, and I feel very troubled."

"Every family?! It's too early to discuss this! ”

Hung up.

"Arisa, do you think only good children deserve love? …… No, don't cry, I'm not suggesting that you're a waste of wood......"

It took ten minutes to coax her.

"Light, you ...... now What? Aunt Yuko made a supper? Okay, I'm at the station, right away! ”

Came to today's conclusion: Long live childhood sweethearts!
