But even though I know it, I am still afraid.
Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke, suppressing her shyness.
"Um...Yehsing-san?"
What she didn't expect was that Ye Xing's response came immediately from outside the door.
"I'm here, what's up?"
031 Marking Point
Yotsuya Jianzi was stunned for a moment, then held his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"...Are you really peeking?"
"What else? A gentleman's words are spoken and cannot be taken back. We must watch it."
Hearing this, Yotsuya Kenko did not show any displeasure on his face, but just shook his head with a smile.
She had confirmed this before entering the bathroom.
The glass door connecting the bathroom and the living room is designed with double-sided privacy protection.
After entering the bathroom, the glass of the shower room is also privacy-proof, and there is a curtain outside.
Do you want to peek?
Unless Nightstar has X-ray eyes.
Wait, could he really have that?
But after thinking about it, Yotsuya Miko smiled self-deprecatingly.
If Ye Xing really had the ability to see through things, would he have to peek at me while I was taking a bath?
Doesn't that mean you can peek whenever you want?
It's just a mediocre person worrying about nothing.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for what? I don't understand."
"Never mind."
Since Yotsuya Kenko couldn't figure out why Yexing came to peek at her taking a bath, there was only one explanation.
The other person was standing outside the bathroom door, not trying to peek.
Perhaps he was worried that an evil spirit was following him and would attack him while he was taking a shower.
Or maybe you're just worried that you'll feel scared when taking a shower.
No matter what the reason, thank you is always worth saying.
Through this incident, Yotsuya Miko felt that she understood Yohoshi a little better.
This guy...
Seems like a bit of a tsundere attribute?
Of course, she couldn't say this out loud, otherwise, who knows what weird things Ye Xing would say.
While Yotsuya Miko was washing her hair, Ye Xing, who was sitting outside with her back against the glass door of the bathroom, was making marks on a map.
"Hmm... S-class area, about right."
What he was holding in his hand was a map of Kyoto City, and in the area where the unfinished building was located, he had marked the word "S-Grade" with a pen.
.......
After taking a shower, Yotsuya Miko wiped her wet long hair with a towel and muttered softly.
"Your suit is a little too big."
She was wearing a Night Star short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and shorts on the lower body. Her two white and tender feet were on the floor, with cute light pink nails, which made people want to play with them.
The problem is that Yotsuya Miko's outfit does look very funny.
When Ye Xing's short-sleeved shirt is put on her, it can almost be worn as a dress.
The two trouser legs of the shorts extend downwards, not reaching past the knees.
Among girls of the same age, Yotsuya Miko is considered to be very tall.
But wearing the clothes of Ye Xing, who is over meters tall, still feels a bit awkward like a small horse pulling a big cart.
Not right either.
Little horse, he should pull the big cart.
Seeing Ye Xing writing something in his notebook, Yotsuya Miko came over to the sofa opposite him, sat down obediently, and asked curiously.
"Um...I have a few questions for you."
Ye Xing raised his head and glanced at her. Seeing Yotsuya Miko wrapped in her clothes, he almost couldn't hold it in. He coughed twice, calmed himself down and said.
"Well, you ask."
As soon as these words came out, Yotsuya Miko immediately started to ask several questions in her mind like a machine gun.
"How can I awaken your ability to fight against evil spirits?"
"What should we do with the doors inside that building?"
"Why don't you bring the knife from my house with you today? If you bring it with you, will you be able to defeat the evil spirit?"
"Also, you said that the evil spirit in the building looked like a turtle or something. I didn't hear it clearly. What was it?"
.......
The answers to the first three questions were as expected by Ye Xing.
But when he heard Yotsuya Miko's last question, he frowned slightly and looked at the other person carefully.
"You... don't know what that thing looks like?"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes revealed a clear and innocent simplicity, and she tilted her head in confusion.
"like what?"
"It's hard to describe. You'll understand when you grow up."
Ye Xing did not delve into the topic further, and did not give Yotsuya Kenko a chance to ask further questions, and then he spoke immediately.
"Answer your first three questions."
"First, according to my deduction, you should be able to awaken and have the same ability as me. As for the specific method... I have a rough guess. I will tell you the answer after discussing it with Futaba Rio on Monday."
Yotsuya saw that Zi was hesitant to speak, and in the end, he could only nod helplessly.
Yexing made it very clear before.
He and the other party are probably the two most powerful psychics in the history of Sakura Province.
What they faced were unprecedented and bizarre events.
This is like crossing a river by feeling the stones. No one knows the true nature and the various dangers that will be faced in the future.
Even Nightstar couldn't give her all the answers she wanted.
"second question."
Having said that, Ye Xing handed the map in his hand to Yotsuya Miko.
"The place we went to today is an S-level location. Together with the 'gates' I have discovered in Kyoto City in the past two days that have not been solved, there are a total of three A-level and one S-level."
“My criteria are rather crude.”
"S-level means I can probably solve it if I use all my strength, but there is a risk of death in the process."
"Level A means I might get hurt in the process of solving the problem."
Yotsuya Miko looked down at the marks on the map and asked curiously.
"Then why aren't there B-level and C-level or something like that?"
She looked up and saw Ye Xing looking at her as if she were an idiot.
"Are you stupid? I can deal with B- and C-level things right now. I'll destroy them when I find them. Why are you marking them?"
Yotsuya Miko felt very embarrassed and thought that this was true.
Ye Xing's personality was hard for her to figure out, but there was one thing she could be sure of.
This guy really hates evil spirits and will never show mercy.
"As for the third question, that long sword is not for me, it's for you."
"Prepared for me?"
"of course."
Ye Xing spread his hands and smiled.
"You have seen my fighting ability with your own eyes today. Although the long sword is genuine, it is not realistic to say that it can bring me much help. After all, it is just something from Lao Deng."
Yotsuya Kenko nodded slightly, then asked again.
"Having said that, I am a little curious, why did Mr. Oda give us such a valuable sword for free?"
"Isn't this simple?"
Ye Xing also wanted to take this opportunity to explain the current situation to Yotsuya Miko, so he began to explain.
"As an exorcist, he must be selling more than just small commodities like amulets. His main source of income is actually accepting various exorcism commissions."
"But now, because of the emergence of 'The Gate', there are many commissions that are beyond the scope of what he can handle."
"If we can't solve the client's request for a long time, then others will start to doubt whether Oda Noto is a genuine psychic, and the business will be affected."
"The solution is that he transfers these commissions to me."
"I got what I wanted, the information about the evil spirits' movements in Kyoto City, and a generous reward from the client, while he gained the fame of completing the commission."
"It's just a deal, each taking what they need."
032 The ability brought by cognition
A club was established in Sobu High School to collect information among students.
Oda Noto was another important source of intelligence.
Since the price of exorcism is very expensive, the people who can find him for a commission must be those whose real life has been seriously affected and who want to spend money to get rid of disasters.
For example, the unfinished building that Yohoshi and Yotsuya Miko had just visited was one of the commissions that the construction company gave to Oda Noto as a last resort.
Near these commissioned locations, one can find powerful evil spirits that are powerful enough to affect normal human life.
For Yexing, who has the ability to devour, these evil spirits are like the magical candies in Pokémon. He just needs to eat them to level up.
Or, there is a "door" in the area of the commissioned location.
The commission was given by the Psychic Quantum Mechanics Research Society and Oda Noto.
With these two sources of information, Ye Xing does not need to spend too much effort to investigate and can obtain information on almost all suspected supernatural events in the entire Kyoto city.
"So that's it."
Yotsuya Miko nodded as if she suddenly understood something.
She thought that Ye Xing went to see Mr. Oda just to blackmail him.
So there is such a plan?
"You just said that there is a reward for the commission? How is it divided, 50-50?"
"Five-five?"
Ye Xing smiled and waved his hand.
"Ten and ten, ten for me and zero for him."
"zero!?"
