"You...want to destroy her?"
"what?"
Yotsuya Kenko quickly waved his hands and laughed.
"How could that be? Menma has never done anything to harm humans, so why should we destroy her?"
After hearing this, Shoko Makinohara breathed a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, that's good."
.......
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko asked in detail about the recent events at Kyoto Municipal Hospital and how Makinohara Shoko and Menma met.
Shoko Makinohara, who is now in the fourth grade of elementary school, suffers from a very serious congenital heart disease that is difficult to cure with modern medical means.
She has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember.
Around the beginning of this spring, Shoko Makinohara's condition worsened.
It was when she was admitted to the hospital that she met Menma who was wandering around Kyoto Municipal Hospital.
At first, Shoko Makinohara could only see a blurry white shadow.
As time went by and her physical condition worsened day by day...Menma's figure and face became clearer and clearer, until now, they can be seen clearly.
Due to her frequent hospitalizations, Shoko Makinohara has few friends.
Although Menma is a dead soul, his personality is no different from when he was alive. In addition, the two are of similar age, so they formed a friendship.
Shoko Makinohara never told anyone, including her parents, about Menma.
After all, ordinary people would not believe that she could see ghosts and become friends with them. They would only think that she suffered from mental illness due to excessive stress.
Take a thousand steps back.
Even if the parents believed what Makinohara Shoko said, they would only ask an exorcist or something like that.
Shoko Makinohara didn't want Menma to be driven away, so she kept the truth of the matter hidden.
As for the ghosts haunting in the middle of the night?
Shoko Makinohara went to bed early every day and had never seen the rumored ghosts with her own eyes.
"So that's it..."
After listening to Makinohara Shoko's story, Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko nodded, having a general understanding of what had happened.
“It’s very difficult...”
Futaba Rio pushed the frame of her glasses habitually, her brain working rapidly, and she found that it was very difficult to deal with this strange incident.
Let’s put aside for now the power of the one or more evil spirits we might have to face.
The population density of Kyoto Municipal Hospital is too high. Once a fight breaks out, it will be difficult not to affect innocent people in the surrounding area.
If it's just to another place, such as a school, a shopping mall, etc., then that's fine.
At worst, let Ye Xing, in the identity of a "mask", negotiate with Soichiro Yagami, the most square-faced man in Kyoto, and let the other party, in the identity of the Chief of the Criminal Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, make up a reason and evacuate the people at the scene.
But a place like a hospital cannot be evacuated just like that.
Many seriously ill patients are not even conscious, not to mention those who are being rescued.
To move rashly would be tantamount to asking for their lives.
"Thank you for the information."
Futaba Rio said this calmly, then stood up with Yotsuya Miko, preparing to turn around and leave.
Makinohara Shoko opened her lips, but finally, just before the two were about to leave the room, she couldn't help but speak.
"Will the people in the hospital be in danger?"
Yotsuya Kenko turned around, with a gentle smile in her golden eyes.
"Don't worry, we became Exorcists just to protect Kyoto."
"and..."
"We have the best exorcist in Kyoto City here."
Futaba Rio pushed the frame and complained.
"Not a butter shooter?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Makinohara is still young."
"Oh."
Looking at the backs of Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko leaving, Menma opened her mouth slightly, with excitement and excitement in her eyes.
"Shoko Shoko."
She pulled on Makinohara Shoko's sleeve.
“These two sisters are so handsome!”
Makinohara Shoko smiled softly and nodded in agreement.
"Well, he is indeed handsome."
........
At the same time, the number one exorcist in Kyoto City in the eyes of Yotsuya Miko, the butter shooter in the eyes of Futaba Rio, the number one villain in Sobu High School, the most vicious criminal in Sakura Province, the successor of multiple ship jumps, that is, Amamine Yoshitsune, the innate abstract holy body, Lord Yohoshi, is accompanying the Kawasaki sisters.
Kawasaki Kyoka, with a red face, was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip.
Her fever reached over 38 degrees, but she was just holding on.
Fortunately, we arrived early, otherwise if we had delayed any further, there would be no guarantee that some serious problems would have arisen.
"Big brother...."
Even though he had fallen asleep, Kawasaki Kyoka was still talking in his sleep, with a happy expression on his little face.
Saki Kawasaki, who was sitting beside the bed, heard her sister's talking in her sleep. She couldn't help but sigh and looked at Ye Xing who was sitting on the other side.
"My sister, I really like you."
"Harm, look at what you said."
Ye Xing waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled.
"How can there be people in this world who hate me?"
Saki Kawasaki curled her lips helplessly.
"There are quite a few people in school who hate you, right?"
"Hmm? That's not the case at all."
Ye Xing looked relaxed and spoke with a smile.
“I don’t even consider them human beings.”
Saki Kawasaki frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"It's because of your bad character that you don't have many friends."
Yexing asked back.
"Aren't you my friend?"
"Eh?"
Saki Kawasaki was stunned for a moment, then her face turned slightly red, her expression was awkward, and she used a stiff tone to hide her shyness.
"You...what are you talking about? You are talking nonsense!"
Yexing chuckled and teased.
"I'm not saying that your defense is too low. I haven't really started fighting yet. I'm just saying this casually."
Yexing was finally discovered.
The more indifferent a beautiful girl looks, the more ridiculously low her defense is.
For example, Saki Kawasaki in front of us.
For example, Touma and Sa.
For example, snow under the snow...
Oh, her defense is not that low, but her weakness is exposed as soon as Yang Noi is mentioned.
"that..."
Kawasaki Saki calmed herself down, looked at Ye Xing embarrassedly, and then spoke stutteringly as if she had mustered all her courage.
"Today, what happened today, and the part-time job introduction... all... are all thanks to you. Thank... thank you."
Saki Kawasaki is not an ungrateful person.
She remembered every bit of help Ye Xing had given her.
Like today, he accompanied me to take my sister to see a doctor and get an IV.
There was also a part-time job introduced to me, which was making cosplay costumes and was in line with my interests and could be done at home. It was not that tiring and the pay was very good.
I also introduced Kitagawa Umi, a professional who is very knowledgeable about cosplay, to me.
Even the cost of the materials needed for my initial practice was paid from the Chaoliang Society's activity funds.
Saki Kawasaki felt that for someone like her, Ye Xing must not be doing this for something from her.
Don't look at the other person's appearance...
In fact, he is a very gentle and kind person.
"Night Star."
Hearing the voice coming from the door and seeing Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko standing outside the door, Kawasaki Saki whispered to Yexing in a gentle tone that she had never used in her life.
"You go and do your work. I'll stay here with Jinghua."
"walk slowly."
After Ye Xing responded, he left the ward and closed the door.
.......
Ten minutes later, Futaba Rio had told him all the clues she had collected along the way, including her encounter with Menma and Makinohara Shoko.
"So this is ah."
Ye Xing nodded slightly, thinking that this made perfect sense.
It seems that the first tarot card "Death" in the godmother's divination result does not have much profound meaning, it is just the meaning closest to the card.
death.
It does not indicate the death of any member of the Super Society, but rather it foreshadows the important people that the members will meet.
Regardless of the rare ghost Menma who has no malice towards humans, that is, Meiko Honma.
It was during this period when her physical condition was getting worse that Shoko Makinohara gradually opened her Yin-Yang eyes.
Both of these people are associated with death.
After all, one is a dead person and the other is a person whose half body is already buried in the ground.
This makes sense.
"An evil spirit that can possess a corpse..."
Seeing Ye Xing looking thoughtful, Futaba Rio added.
"It could also be a special evil spirit that has the ability to manipulate human corpses."
"Whichever it is, the harm is too great."
Ordinary evil spirits cannot cause harm to humans.
However, the evil spirits that appeared in Kyoto Municipal Hospital, whether they were able to possess human corpses or manipulate the actions of human corpses, were extremely dangerous.
"Yes."
