Chapter 306 Son of God ([-])

The movie came to an end, and Ibuki Rika continued to lie on Haiyuan's lap, humming a song and operating the remote control to slide through hundreds of previews, as if choosing the next section suitable for playing.

And when Hui Yuan looked at her "ordinary and cute" profile, and thought about the mountain-spirit-like Xiao Laixiang in the movie, he suddenly thought of another person.

——Tsuchimikado Harumi, the daughter of the Seimei Shrine family.

Haiyuan first thought of Harumi because Harumi was a typical miko.

Be pure, kind, polite, calm, have enough respect for the gods, and act meticulously.All of her characteristics are almost completely consistent with the public's traditional imagination of the image of a "witch".

That's why it is said that Harumi is a typical miko and the "benchmark" for miko.

Therefore, comparing with such a ready-made benchmark, Hui Yuanchu quickly realized what the problem was with the black-haired Xiao Laixiang.

Miko is a bridge connecting the world and the gods, so the so-called "orthodox image of miko" should be an intermediate state in which a sense of secularity and sacredness form a delicate balance.

And most of those who are considered to be witches and witches are not enough witches because they have lost their balance and leaned too strongly towards the worldly side.

There is no way, after all, we are mortals, and it is normal to lean towards the secular side.

But Ibuki Rika was in another rare case...she was too close to the god's side.

At that time, Xiao Laixiang's divinity was almost too strong to be wiped away.Haiyuan stared at the miko on the screen who seemed to have no ability to communicate normally, savoring the feeling.

So he could understand why Onishiyaji said that Xiao Laixiang should learn to deal with people.

Judging from the current results, Laixiang should have learned well.

...No, I probably overstudied it and became so... arrogant.

Huiyuan looked at the knot of hair that stood up like fox ears on Laixiang's head, and couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch it.

In order to divert attention, Hui Yuanchu asked: "So, what happened next?"

"Then? Later, Miyaji-sama kicked Rika out of the shrine, right?" Rika continued to choose movies and answered smoothly.

"The reason announced to the public was that 'because I messed up the Toyoto Festival and offended the distinguished guests, I must take responsibility', so no one objected. Well, after all, at that time, except for Mr. Palace Secretary, I and other people in the shrine also There is no friendship."

"But Mr. Palace Secretary is really too much." She then pouted and complained, "Although I rented a house in advance, got through all the joints, and went through the enrollment procedures directly... But other than that, the guardian is also good, No matter the nanny, there is no one to take care of the incense."

Hui Yuanchu said teasingly: "After all, in name, you, an idiot, were kicked out of the house."

If he really sent someone to take care of him, the effect of Onishi Miyaji's attempt to force Laixiang to join the world would be completely gone.

"But Laixiang doesn't know how to cook! After all, when we were at the shrine, every meal was delivered directly to Laixiang by Deshi." Laixiang protested, "So at first, Laixiang really I almost starved to death, so pitiful!"

"...At least there is a convenience store at the foot of the mountain..."

"At that time, I didn't even know what a convenience store was." But as he spoke, Laixiang showed a proud smile: "But this problem was later solved."

"How to solve it?"

"Well... later in college, I met a boy who confessed to Laixiang.

"So Laixiang thought...it was just right. If the other party is willing to serve Laixiang a sumptuous meal, that would be proof of love. In that case, Laixiang would also get a response from Laixiang.

"So after that, I basically never went hungry... Now that I think about it, that time was really simple and fulfilling." She held her chin, as if she was nostalgic, and then touched her belly. Licking his lips.

Such a hint made Hui Yuan look at Laixiang suspiciously.

Laixiang seemed to understand what he wanted to ask, and before he could ask the question, he replied: "But when it comes to dating, Laixiang is very serious. Laixiang also responded to the other party's courtship in a very real way, right? Isn't this the case? Do you want to date?"

"...So I said, can that kind of relationship really be considered a 'dating'? Your concept of love started to go wrong from then on."

"Well, Hatsu-chan is right. At that time, Rika was not sensible and didn't think about it." Ibuki Rika continued to look at the screen, her expression became more serious, "...it was only later that Rika became Realize that that kind of relationship is not a 'relationship'."

But at this time, it seemed that she had finally chosen the movie she wanted to show.

"Oh, this one, this one. Among the boys I met in school, this one left the deepest memory in me, so I'll show it to Chu-chan." She clicked on the preview image, then turned to look at Hui Yuanchu smiled and said, "Guess, what is it about him that Laixiang remembers?"

Hui Yuanchu looked up at the handsome young man who was placed in the full-screen preview on the screen, and naturally guessed: "Because it's 'first love'?"

"Huh -?" Laixiang was a little confused, then realized it, waved his hands carelessly and said, "No, no, not at all."

"To be honest, Laixiang can't remember what her first love looked like..." She looked at the countless previews on the screen with a worried look on her face, "So, even if you want to look at it, it's hard to find it."

"Just like no one remembers the first mouthful of milk they drank or the first bite of rice they ate," she said casually, "so Laixiang doesn't remember the first person she loved either."

"However, if Hatsumi is particularly concerned..." Laixiang raised her head with a smirk and rubbed her head against Haiyuanchu's chest, "I can also try to look through my memories, okay?"

"No, I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Hui Yuanchu pressed her head back, "Hurry up and play."

"No, Hatsu-chan isn't jealous at all. This won't work..." Laika muttered and pressed the play button.

Then, the screen became active again.

This part of the movie is from the perspective of this young man named Kamiya.

So in the camera, the bell rang, and the professor on the podium began to pack up his notes and prepare to leave.In the audience, college students were chatting and laughing in groups of twos and threes, discussing where to spend their youth.

Kamiya also smiled and greeted his friends, but declined the suggestion to hang out together and just walked out of the university lecture hall alone.

Across the entire huge campus, Kamiya finally came to the library on the other side.

He did not enter the popular modern literature hall on the first and second floors, but went up to the third floor in one go.

Once on the third floor, the environment suddenly became quiet, and the entire third floor was almost empty.

After all...even adults, few people like classics and humanities.

In front of the library door on the third floor, Kamiya took several deep breaths, arranged his hair again, and then took out the borrowed books from his schoolbag.Then, he opened the door and said in a nervous and trembling voice: "Excuse me-"

But the library seemed equally empty, with no one answering.

So the young man continued to move forward.

When he reached the counter where books were borrowed and returned, Kamiya let out an involuntary sigh of relief.

There is no one inside the library.It's just that the girl who was originally responsible for handling matters at the counter is lowering her head at this time, seeming to be completely immersed in her own reading.

——It blows the fragrance.

If the current Ibuki Rika is a dazzling gold ornament, and the past Ibuki Rika on Inari Mountain was a pure and transparent jade, then in this movie - Ibuki has just entered the stage of entering the human world from a shrine. It smells like a pearl covered in dust with almost no luster.

She has completely lost the refined witch aura she had when she was at the shrine. The only impression she has on people at a glance is that she has a bad appearance caused by her poor living conditions.

For example, the coat on Laixiang has obvious wrinkles, fading, cross-dying, small holes, and traces of dirt... It's like an old piece of clothing that has been discarded for decades in a recycling bin.

Of course, if you look closely, you will still find that this is not the fault of the clothes themselves.

Wrinkles are caused by lack of ironing; fading, cross-staining and holes are usually caused by the incorrect application of detergents and washing methods that the fabric cannot withstand; and traces of dirt may be caused by too much time after the dirt has been adhered to it. Just wash it...

In other words, lack of proper and adequate care.

Ibuki Rika herself is in the same condition as this dress.

Her fingernails are slightly long, and her long hair is neither tied nor combed, but is just messily hanging around.

The only difference between him and a homeless man is that he seems to take showers quite frequently and his skin is relatively clean...

and--

Until this moment, Ibuki Rika still did not raise her head to look at Kamiya.

So after waiting for a while, Shengu could only take the initiative to say: "Please, may I ask—"

Ibuki Raika slowly raised her head and cast her blank gaze on Kamiya.

Being looked at like that, Kamiya was agitated and hurriedly handed over the book he wanted to return: "I'm here to return the book——"

But Ibuki Rika didn't take the book, she just continued to look at him like this.

It wasn't until Kamiya repeated it that her eyes seemed to be clearer, and then she reached out her hand and slowly took the book and the loan card.

Then, without saying a word, she began to slowly open the loan card to re-register it... Finally, she handed the card to Kamiya again.

Kamiya reached out to take it, but instead took Ibuki Rika's hand.

Judging from his sudden stop and quickening of breathing, this was probably just an accident.But he did freeze there for a moment, his mind went blank, and he even forgot to take back his hand.

Ibuki Rika still didn't say a word, nor did she take the initiative to take back her hand - but this time, she finally raised her head and looked at Kamiya.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The Kamiya boy finally came to his senses and mustered up all the courage to say what he had wanted to say every day for the past month when he came to the library: "I, Ibuki-san, do you have any difficulties in life? I, maybe I I can help~"

Ibuki Raika continued to stare at him dully, and after a while she answered: "...Today, Raika, there is no dinner yet."

Kamiya's face lit up, and he was about to say something when he heard someone calling him at the door: "Hey, Kamiya!"

So he instinctively turned his head and looked at the person who suddenly appeared at the door.

Another young man stood there with a strange expression, looking at their hands still held together.

Then he frowned and ran over quickly, grabbed Kamiya's neck and dragged him away: "Follow me."

"Ah, Miura, slow down, slow down -" Kamiya also knew the person coming, so he only struggled a few times symbolically and then followed him obediently.

So, Miura dragged Kamiya to the roof of the fourth floor.

"I watched you go up to the third floor, so I caught up with you." Then he said with a serious expression: "Hey, Kamiya, we are friends, right?"

"Ah."

"So, you have to tell me honestly, why did you come to Ibuki?" Miura stared into Kamiya's eyes and said, "...is it that thing?" "Which thing?"

"Benefit girlfriend."

"...No, I have no idea what you are talking about." Kamiya said blankly.

"Then why did you come to her?" Before Kamiya could speak, Miura said first, "Don't say you just came to return the book."

Seeing Kamiya's face suddenly turn red, Miura seemed to understand and rolled his eyes.

Then he patted Kamiya on the shoulder and hesitated to speak.

Finally, Miura seemed to have finally thought about what to say, and asked: "Do you know Ibuki?"

Kamiya thought for a while: "Ibuki... is very smart. Even though she is a freshman, the professors think she is very capable."

"But she's very slow outside of research, isn't she? No matter what she says, she has to say it two or three times to get a response."

"This kind of thing is okay, right?" Kamiya said unconvinced, "I think Ibuki is just thinking about it all the time."

Miura did not continue to argue and continued to ask: "What about other things? For example, do you know the situation at her home?"

"Well, I heard that Ibuki is an orphan, so she is living alone now..." Then he sighed sympathetically, "I have been observing Ibuki-san for a while, and she does seem to be working hard."

"anything else?"

Kamiya thought for a moment and came up with one answer: "... Not very popular? It seems that I have never seen her have any friends."

Miura sighed: "So, you haven't thought about why this is? It seems that you have never heard of Ibuki's nickname - 'Ibuki who doesn't understand rejection'."

Kamiya, however, still looked confused, unable to follow Miura's thoughts.

Seeing Kamiya like this, Miura finally lost his patience with euphemisms and said straight to the point: "Let me tell you the origin of this nickname - there was a group of guys before, and one of them lost the Emperor Game and was forced to go there as punishment. Ibuki confessed, but she didn't refuse.

"Then those nasty guys turned their attention to teasing Ibuki. They planned a game in which everyone in the group would take turns confessing to Ibuki, and then after a while, they would break up and find another one. People go..."

"But when the game was implemented, they realized that... Ibuki really won't refuse.

“No matter how many people confess to her, or even the same person confesses to her several times later, she will never refuse, and her expression will not even change.

"The only thing she seems to care about is that as a date, she must be responsible for her three meals a day."

"That's what 'lunchbox girlfriend' means."

Seeing Kamiya's stunned expression, Miura finished his sentence: "Actually, if that's the case, I won't stop you, but..."

"The group of bastards mentioned earlier had fun at first, but after a while, many of them started to avoid Yiqiu instead."

"They said that Ibuki...has some problems."

"For example, although as long as you buy her a bento, she will become your girlfriend. But she seems to treat the bento more seriously than she treats you as your boyfriend.

"Before starting to eat, it's not like we just say 'I'm starting'. She always closes her eyes and recites a mantra that is completely unintelligible for several minutes, as if praying, with a terrifying expression. .

"Someone asked, and she said what it was...'God's Taste Offering'.

"And the scariest thing is - when the two of them are alone, Ibuki will suddenly smile in an unknown direction, and then call 'Dad'... But when asked afterward, she always acts like she doesn't remember at all. Looks like you’ve done that kind of thing yourself.”

"So - that guy Ibuki, at least, has some mental problems. I advise you not to get close to her."

At this point, Miura breathed out.Then he remembered one more thing: "Yes, and—"

"What happened to those bastards just now is not over yet."

"Among that group of people, there are still a few bold guys, and they are still maintaining a relationship with Ibuki recently."

"But the girlfriends of those people knew about it. I heard that they found someone from a violent group."

"Although I don't know what they will do to Ibuki, you'd better stay away from her recently. Otherwise, if you are implicated, you will be in trouble."

He finally warned: "We are friends, so I tell you these things, but you must never--"

--"boom".

Kamiya's expression was filled with anger and confusion. He seemed to have completely lost the ability to think. He was simply manipulated by his emotions and punched Miura hard in the face. Then he turned around and ran away amidst Miura's scolding.

He ran down the third floor in one breath and stood in front of the library counter again.He bent over and panted for a long time before his breathing calmed down enough to speak.

During this period, Ibuki Rika just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Kamiya straightened his back, looked at Ibuki Rika, and said: "Ibuki-san, I heard that you will not refuse any request... Then, please listen carefully to what I am going to say next.

He stared at Ibuki Rika, and with unprecedented courage, as if he was overwhelmed by something, he shouted loudly: "Ibuki Ruka - please date me.

"Not a meal, not a day, not a year...but a lifetime."

"From now on, I will use my life to make your life happy."

Kamiya shouted every sentence as if venting his anger, and even shed tears.

"Ibuki, you no longer have to force yourself to agree to other people's requests. Because I am here."

"From now on, I will take care of you and protect you.

Finally, he sniffed deeply, grabbed Ibuki Rika's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "So, Ibuki, please give me your whole life, okay?"

From behind the counter, Ibuki Raika looked at him and frowned, as if listening to some incomprehensible words.

Finally, she clearly uttered a few absolutely unambiguous syllables: "I don't want it."

……

The shot of the movie just condenses on the close-up of Kamiya's shocked and comical expression, and then ends.

Ibuki Rika pressed the remote control to return the screen to the clip selection screen.

Then... he started to bury his face in the sofa, hammered the sofa and started laughing.

"How's it going, Hatsu-chan, isn't it interesting?" After laughing for a long time, she wiped away the tears from laughter and raised her head, "Oh, it's because Kamiya's expression at that time was so interesting that I remember him until now. I can’t forget it, and I feel so happy when I think about it…”

Hui Yuanchu tilted his head and was really confused: "So, why did you reject him?"

Ibuki Raika tilted her head: "...because this child wants to monopolize Raika?"

"Lai Xiang doesn't like people who are too possessive. For example, no matter how rich the sacrifice is, the gods will not agree to the wish of 'not answering other people's prayers', right?"

"This is outrageous."

"Although exclusivity can be considered a kind of wonderful 'love', Laixiang quite likes exclusivity itself..." She licked her lips, and the gold in her eyes flashed like a kaleidoscope, "But I'm wrong. It’s not possible to find a partner.”

"Laixiang cannot be monopolized. Laixiang will love everyone."

Hui Yuan was speechless for a moment and sighed.

--correct.

Yi Chuilaixiang never "overlearned" when it came to learning about humanity.

Until now, she...is still on that side.

Just learned to put on a disguise.

"——Of course, Chu-chan is different from everyone else!" However, Dan Fox was really good at observing people's emotions. At this moment, when he saw the strange expression on Hui Yuan Chu's expression, he immediately got involved again and said sweetly, "Laixiang's love , I originally got them all from Hatsu-chan... So if Hatsu-chan says that he wants them all, Laika will only give them all to Hatsu-chan with joy!"

Hui Yuanchu shook his head and wisely decided not to get involved with the shameless fox.

He returned his attention to the movie itself, and then asked: "What happened next? Did anyone really come to trouble you?"

"Yep."

"Then he was eliminated by the guards secretly arranged by the Palace Secretary?"

"There is no such thing..."

"Then you transformed?"

"It doesn't have that function!"

"Then how was it resolved?"

"A certain rich man happened to be passing by, so he sent his bodyguard to rescue him." As Laixiang said, he seemed to have found the corresponding clip, "Well, I'll just show it and let Chu-chan take a look."

The clip that was played was actually coming to an end.

The Yakuza were lying on the ground, and two men in black clothes who looked like bodyguards stood on the field, punching the last few Yakuza who were still moaning one by one.

Then, the bodyguards protected Ibuki Rika to the limousine on the roadside, as if they wanted to meet the kind owner.

But the next moment, a figure jumped out of the car.

Regardless of the hardness of the ground, the woman in luxurious clothes knelt down in front of Ibuki Laika and touched her face with trembling hands. The look on her face was extremely sincere.

"Laixiang, Laixiang - I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's a little sudden, but I have always wanted to see you, and I have been following you secretly... I - I am mother!"

Ibuki Yuka choked and said.

But the movie's camera focused further, passing through the group of mothers and daughters, and gathered on the limousine behind them.

In the darkness of the car, President Tanaka was watching the meeting on this side from a distance, with a wicked smile on his lips.
