My daily life of cultivating immortals and removing spirits in Chiba

Chapter 241 Another candidate

"Although I feel relieved now that I have received such strong assistance, I still feel a little disappointed..."

The arrival of such strong support may sound like good news in every sense of the word.

But Asamaha still felt a little regretful.

The danger is now largely gone.

But the "opportunity" that accompanied it also disappeared.

For Asamaha, while he was afraid of the Tengu before, he also thought about whether he could take this opportunity to destroy the Tengu.

In the eyes of others, the Tengu is a dangerous and troublesome being.

Of course, the same is true for Asamaha in the eyes of the resentful dog.

However, while it is dangerous and difficult, Asamaha also regards the Tengu as an "experience gift package" that can quickly improve its strength.

As long as it is eliminated, his strength will definitely increase dramatically and he will be one step closer to the Golden Core realm he desires.

But now, as long as the resentful dog is not stupid.

They probably wouldn't be so stubborn as to emerge from the encirclement and try to snatch back the "Yan Yan Luo clone".

"I was originally thinking whether we could kill that guy together. But now, there is a high probability that there is no chance."

Asamaha let out a long sigh and said slowly and regretfully.

At this moment, or after hearing what Asamaha said, Chiki Tsutsuki lowered her dark red eyes, looking a little lostly at the tea cup with two or three tea leaves floating on the surface of the coffee table, and murmured in a low voice.

"Not necessarily, maybe there is still a chance..."

Tsuzuki Chiki's voice was very low at the moment, and Kodaka Yui on the side probably didn't even hear her words.

However, with Asamaha's strengthened five senses, he could still hear the content of this sentence clearly.

"Do you think there is still a chance? What chance?"

Asama raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, and asked Hezuki Chihime softly.

Hearing this, Chizuki Tsurugi raised her head and looked at Asamaha, her usually dull dark red eyes revealing some surprise.

"Chance? What chance?"

Tsuruzuki Chihime used almost the same words and softly replied to Asama Haha subconsciously.

Seeing Chizuki Tsurugi's appearance at this moment, Asamaha suddenly showed a strange expression on her face.

He gently touched his chin with one hand and spoke tentatively.

"Just now...didn't you say 'there is still a chance'?"

Listening to Asamaha's words, Chizuki Tsurugi seemed to understand something.

The surprised expression on his face quickly calmed down.

But instead, a faint blush appeared on her milky fair and pretty face.

"It's nothing. It must have been Asama-kun just now. You heard wrong..."

Heyue Qianji lowered her head slightly and whispered "lying".

However, girls like Tsuruzuki Chihime are obviously not good at lying at all.

At least Asamaha basically didn't even need to look at her. Listening to Chiki Tsutsuki's increasingly weak voice, she knew she was lying.

Asamaha's eyes looked at Hezuki Chihime in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to understand the reason why Hezuki Chihime had such a strange "reply" just now.

Just now, Chizuki Tsurugi seemed to be distracted, thinking about something.

While she was distracted, she didn't notice it at all. Unknowingly, she murmured what was in her heart, and even let Asamaha hear it.

After thinking about this, Asamaha looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was slightly red and slightly embarrassed.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

After all, this look is rare on this girl who always looks calm and collected at all times.

However, while feeling funny, he was also vaguely aware of it.

Chizuki Tsurugi seems to have something on her mind.

There are some secrets that he cannot tell even now.

Immediately, Asamaha suppressed the smile on her lips, her dark eyes flickered slightly, she took a breath, looked at Tsuruzuki Chihime, and said with a smile.

"Although I think I won't be of any use after that."

"But if you need help, you can call on me as much as you like."

"After all, there is a promise between us."

"Until this matter is over, I will always be your strength."

Although in Asamaha's opinion, now that the overall situation has been decided, he is probably of no use.

However, looking at Hezuki Chihime's appearance, Asamaha had a vague feeling that this incident would not be as smooth and simple as he imagined.

Although Asamaha didn't quite understand what Tsuruzuki Chihime was thinking.

But he felt that Chiki Tsuruzuki seemed to be doing something special.

In fact, after realizing this just now, Asamaha opened his mouth to persuade Tsuruzuki Chihime from this irrational idea.

However, this thought flashed through his mind for a moment and was abandoned.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, compared to "Qi-nurturing Kung Fu", as a girl, Chiki Tsutsuki seemed to be much better than him.

No matter what I say or what happens, I always remain calm and unhurried.
Therefore, if Chizuki Tsurugi really decided to do something, he felt that he would definitely not be able to persuade her.

Moreover, in what capacity can he persuade Heyue Qianji?

"Well, thank you, Asama-kun."

Listening to Asama Ha's sincere words, Tsuruzuki Chihime nodded her head gently and pursed her lips slightly in gratitude.

At this moment, Kodaka Yui, who was standing next to Tsuruzuki Chihime, raised the teapot with one hand and personally filled Asamaha's teacup with water while also looking at it with approval.

Asama Ha's promise to his eldest daughter to "never leave her" obviously made Yui Kodaka, who regarded Tsuruzuki Chihime everything, extremely satisfied.

"You're welcome. This is an exchange of equal value. As long as Heyue-san doesn't forget your promise."

Facing Tsuruzuki Chihime's thanks, Asamaha shrugged and said softly with a hint of inexplicable teasing.

promise?

Hearing Asamaha's words, Chizuki Tsuruzuki fell into a brief moment of thought and contemplation.

Then, she quickly remembered Asamaha's so-called promise.

"After this is over, I'll be his maid for a day."

Tsuruzuki Chihime recalled Asamaha's half-joking and half-serious words.

Immediately, she looked at Asama Ha with her dark red eyes and said also seriously.

"Well, after everything is over, if I can still be safe and sound, I will fulfill my promise as soon as possible and be Asama-kun's maid for a day."

Heyue Qianji's dark red eyes were very clear, and she couldn't see anything strange at all. Her small face was serious.

This made him, who originally had a face full of teasing and wanted to see Heyue Qianji's blushing face again, feeling slightly disappointed. "However, after saying this, Kodaka Yui didn't glare at me? It's really strange." Asama Haha moved his gaze to Kodaka Yui and thought to himself.

Back then, when he and Hezuki Qianji told him this condition.

At that time, Kodaka Wei was still sleeping lazily and didn't even know about this situation.

And now, after Hezuki Qianji directly told this matter.

Asamaha thought that after hearing the news, Kodaka Yui would become furious and yell at Asamaha for "deliberately humiliating his young lady".

But to Asama Ha's surprise, even though Kodaka Yui heard the news clearly, she still stood beside Chiki Tsuruzuki with a normal expression, without much reaction at all.

"Has Chihime Tsuzuki told Yui Kodaka about this in advance?" Asamaha thought to herself.

Asama Yu shook his head. Although he was a little confused, he did not take this unimportant matter to his heart.

Now Asamaha, after basically asking the most important questions today clearly, he was completely relaxed and leaning on the back of the wooden chair, sitting in a casual posture.

He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup, then looked at the blue sky outside the club room window. After a brief moment of silence, he thought again and spoke.

"By the way, I must have told Heyue-san about the incident about the Resentful Tengu possessing the Resentment Doll. During this time, I suddenly found that there is one thing that I don't quite understand."

Perhaps because the question he asked was not too important now, Asamaha was not as serious as before, but was communicating with Chiki Tsutsuki in a casual manner.

"What's the matter? Asama-kun, just tell me."

Compared to Asamaha's relaxed posture, Tsuruzuki Chihime remained the same, sitting calmly on the wooden chair with her back straight.

If it weren't for Chiki Tsutsuki's pair of black stocking feet that stepped directly on the ground under the coffee table, she would have looked somewhat relaxed and casual.

I'm afraid that when other people see Tsuruzuki Chihime sitting like this, they will think that Tsuruzuki Chihime is having some serious meeting rather than chatting among friends.

Asamaha glanced at Tsuruzuki Chihime, who was sitting opposite, and then thought for a moment before speaking.

"At that time, when the resentful dog came into contact with me, it used a miniature illusion barrier to obscure other people's perceptions. Even the guards you sent did not notice anything strange."

Listening to Asamaha's words, Tsuruzuki Chiki seemed to realize what Asamaha was going to say next, and there was a hint of interest in her dark red eyes.

"But, even so, there is still one person who can vaguely feel the figure of the 'Resentful Dog' and sense the movement when I draw my sword."

"What's the reason for this?" Asamaha asked Hezuki Chihime.

Listening to Asamaha's words, Tsuruzuki Chihime pondered for a moment, and then asked Asamaha again.

"The person you are talking about is not a psychic, right? And Mr. Asama, do you know whether there is spiritual power in this person?"

"She is not a psychic, but there is indeed a weak spiritual power in her body. I always thought that she cultivated a trace of spiritual power in her body through hard practice of swordsmanship."

"But, now it seems that she was born with a trace of spiritual power in her body."

Asamaha thought for a while and spoke, trying his best to provide Chiki Tsutsuki with as much information as possible.

Although, this question is not actually important, it just satisfies his curiosity.

After hearing Asamaha's words, Tsuruzuki Chiki looked at Asamaha with her dark red eyes and asked in a calm voice.

"She? Practices kendo? Could it be the second-year Mizuhashi-senpai who is known as the 'kendo beauty'?"

After hearing the name "Mizuhashi-senpai", Yui Kodaka, who had been treating him kindly and with a very good attitude today, stood aside.

Immediately, Asamaha's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

It was as if he was questioning Asamaha with his eyes.

"Why are you with that second-year kendo beauty during the holidays?!"

When Asamaha heard "Mizuhashi-senpai" from Tsuzuki Chihime, she was slightly surprised, and then nodded.

"Well, Mizuhashi-senpai, but Tsurugi-san, you actually know Mizuhashi-senpai, have you ever understood this?"

In Asamaha's view, "ghost" students like Tsuruzuki Chihime who rarely attend class every day and did not even participate in this academic test.

He even knows Mizuhashi Shinmi's name.

"I do know a little bit about it. After all, it was rumored that Senior Mizuhashi and I were your girlfriends."

Tsuruzuki Chihime used an extremely plain voice to say such words that made Asama Haha feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Ahem, these are rumors spread by some good people. As the person involved, you should know that these are all false. My character is worthy of protection." Asama Haha immediately coughed twice and defended.

When he defeated the head of the kendo club and became famous in the school, he had not yet had a girlfriend.

In school, scandals are rife, and all kinds of messy gossip is spread everywhere.

His reputation was greatly damaged!

Hearing Asamaha's defense, Chiki Tsuruzuki looked at Asamaha with a pair of dark ruby ​​eyes and spoke softly.

"It turns out that it's all false. I thought at least one thing was true."

After Hezuki Qianji finished speaking, the corners of her lips curved up in an imperceptible arc.

Hearing this, Asamaha was stunned for a moment looking at the appearance of Chizuki Tsurugi at this moment.

"Is there one thing that's true? Which one is she talking about?"

"Mizuhashi Shinami is my girlfriend?"

"Or does Chihime Tsuzuki think she is my girlfriend?"

"Or...are you talking about two boats?!"

At this moment, Asama Ha's dark eyes were also facing the dark red eyes of Tsuruzuki Chihime, feeling the look in Tsuruzuki Chihime's eyes that contained a hint of special meaning.

He was instantly sure that Chizuki Tsurugi was the last one.

After all, Chizuki Tsuruzuki has been sending guards around him during this period.

She must have discovered the fact that he, Reimi Hayakawa and Yui Saotome were living together.

However, although Asamaha had already guessed that Chiki Tsuzuki knew everything, Asamaha still chose to deny it immediately.

"A bit? Not a bit, it's all fake."

Seeing Asama Ha's "refuse to admit it" look, the corners of Tsuruzuki Chiki's lips were slightly raised, as if she was a little happy.

However, Chizuki Tsurugi did not continue to care about this and spoke again.

"Senior Mizuhashi, I met her once when I visited Asama-kun's residence. Unexpectedly, she also has the qualifications suitable for practicing spiritualism, and her qualifications seem to be not low..."

"Qualification for practicing necromancy? This is indeed no surprise."

Hearing what Hezuki Chiki said, Asamaha showed a look of understanding on her face and nodded.

Tsurutsuki Chihime, who had previously thought that Asamaha had a yin-yang eyed constitution, once told him.

People with yin and yang eyes are good candidates for practicing psychic skills.

Its advantage lies not only in its ability to easily see spirits and penetrate illusions, but also in its ability to sign contracts with shikigami more easily.

In addition to these, there is a trace of spiritual power in the physique of people with Yin and Yang eyes.

Although there are very few such people, their talents in cultivation will be higher during their cultivation.

"But Tsurugi-kun, how do you judge whether Senior Mizuhashi has good or bad training qualifications?"

"Is it because Senior Mizuhashi, under the influence of the illusion barrier at that time, was still able to detect clues and make judgments?"
