That time he gave up because he had no paper, but this time, he brought a backpack full of books, so he wouldn't have to worry about having no paper.

Shikigami... I promised. Kikyo hummed, "Okay."

"Great, I'll go get some paper." Kagome raised her hand excitedly, took out books from her backpack, and muttered as she took them.

"Hmm... math books, English books, physics books, where are the draft books? Draft books, draft books... Ah! Found them."

Colorful books piled up around him, attracting the attention of Miroku and Coral.

"What is this? Books from the era of Kagome?"

Coral put down the flying bone that he had touched countless times, and took a curious look at the books on the ground.

"Can I take a look?"

"Sure."

Coral, who got the affirmation, took a book with English written on it, and Miroku also poked his head out. In addition to recognizing these two words, the weird symbols inside after opening it made people dizzy just by looking at them for a second.

The two put them down silently.

Coral flipped through several books in a row, but couldn't understand any of them. She gave up and turned away, feeling full of emotion.

The knowledge after five hundred years is really profound. The more she read, the more she felt that she was illiterate. She actually had to learn so many books for this kind of thing... Ah Li is really amazing.

After finding the draft book, Kagome wanted to tear off a few pages, but she paused. If she couldn't learn it, wouldn't it cost a lot of paper?

She simply took the whole book, took the scissors and pen and sat back at the table.

"Is this paper okay?" He handed the draft book to Kikyo, "It's the paper I used for drafting when I was learning. If I make a shikigami, I shouldn't need special talisman paper, right?"

"Yes."

"Great." Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, put the scissors in her hand up again, and looked at the pencil for a long time, "Use a pencil... Is it okay?"

It seems that she didn't bring a brush.

"I have one here." Miroku waved at him when he heard it. As a magician, drawing talismans is a daily homework.

"I'm here." Kagome took a few steps to get a pen.

"No..." Shikigami don't need a pen.

Kikyo lowered her head and was about to speak.

Her hands continued to move. After taking the notebook, she flipped it open. There were shapes and symbols that she couldn't understand.

She turned to the next page as soon as she opened her mouth. When she saw the picture on it, her words stopped abruptly.

She stared at the familiar little man for a while. After a moment, she turned the page as if nothing had happened, tore a blank page, covered the notebook, and put it beside her legs as if she didn't see anything.

It's better not to call him. If she finds out that she saw what he drew... she will blush again?

Kagome sat back at the table with the brush and laid it out one by one. "Okay, we have the pen, paper, and scissors. Can we start? Hey... Kikyo, when did you cut the little man? It's so fast."

He touched the little paper man on the table in surprise. It was so fast. He took the brush.

"Practice makes perfect. It's not difficult." Kikyo put down the scissors and handed them to Kagome, "You can try it, too."

Taking the scissors, Kagome couldn't wait to try. She looked around but couldn't find the draft paper. A question mark floated over her head. Where did his stack of draft books go?

A half sheet of paper was handed to her. It was what Kikyo had left. Kagome instantly forgot about the draft books.

"Thank you."

Half a sheet was enough for him to cut a little man. His handicraft was pretty good.

Following the example, Kagome quickly cut a little man. He deliberately compared it with Kikyo's little man and nodded confidently.

"It's exactly the same, Kikyo, is my little paper man okay?"

Kikyo tapped her chin lightly and tapped her fingertips on the cut little man. "Use your spiritual power to communicate with the surrounding spirits and attach it to this paper man. Use more spiritual power to summon the initial spirit to facilitate the construction of the body of the shikigami."

Kagome hummed, followed her example and tapped on the paper man, staring at the paper man intently.

"..."

After a long time, he raised his clear eyes and blinked at Kikyo.

"Hey, Kikyo, communicate with spirits... What are spirits?"

Hmm, a mistake, Kikyo closed her eyes and thought, remembering that he didn't understand these things, she taught too quickly.

She put the paper man again in her palm, with one side of her palm facing Kagome who was looking at her eagerly, "Put your hand up."

"Oh." Put your hand up.

Kagome's expression suddenly paused, and after he put his hand up, he covered Kikyo's hand tightly, with only a small section of the rounded nail of the thumb showing from the edge.

With this size, his hand seemed to be able to hold Kikyo's whole hand... Kagome was in a trance for a moment.

After putting it down, Kikyo pressed his other hand on his hand, and the spiritual power glowed, "Ali."

Kagome, who was in a daze, straightened her body, "Hmm, hmm?" He was thinking about strange things again.

"Focus and follow my feeling."

"Yes."

She noticed it.

Kagome realized it later, her ears were burning, and she addedOne sentence, "...I understand."

The cold hand touched the warm hand of the big one, and quickly became infected with the temperature, gradually becoming the same as it, and the cold feeling in the middle disappeared.

Kagome slowly closed her eyes, and was led by Kikyo's spiritual power to feel the different existence around her.

Coral and Miroku, who actively reduced their presence, glanced at each other quietly, and then glanced again... Coral's eyelids twitched, and he twisted Miroku's waist with his backhand, and pulled back the other hand that was held in his hand and rubbed and kneaded.

Miroku, who was twisted into a knot in pain, shed a tear from the corner of his eye, but smiled on his mouth, recalling the touch.

——

Kagome has a quick learning ability and quickly mastered the skills taught by Kikyo.

"Tear——"

The sound of paper breaking.

The two opened their eyes, Kikyo moved her hand away, and the paper man in the middle broke into half.

"I've used too much spiritual power." Kagome touched her head and picked up the paper figure she cut without getting discouraged. "I'll try again. I'll definitely be able to do it this time."

He was full of confidence. "Kikyo, let me try it myself. I think I can do it."

Kikyo said nothing and put down her hand to observe him.

But the fact is that with the sound of tearing again and again, the paper figures cut by Kikyo on the table were all used up by him.

Every time he was just a little short, when he poured spiritual power into the paper figure, the constructed spiritual body could not bear his excessive spiritual power, and the paper figure as a carrier was always torn at the critical moment.

"Come again!" Kagome's eyes ignited with a flame of unwillingness. Is it harder than mathematics?

But the paper figure on the table was gone. Kagome looked around. "Where is the draft book? It was just here... ah, I saw it."

Beside Kikyo's leg.

He stretched out his hand, passed in front of Kikyo and took the book, completely unaware of Kikyo's eyes that wanted to stop him.

She put them by her legs... She had no choice but to move back a little to make it easier for Kagome to take the book.

Well, it's not her fault.

There was a smile in Kikyo's eyes that she didn't notice.

"Every time it's because of too much spiritual power input. This time I must pay attention and cut more paper figures. I will definitely be able to uh--"

Kagome, who was mumbling and flipping papers, suddenly paused, staring blankly at the page under her hand.

In front of him was a little figure of Kikyo that he had drawn when he was bored, holding a bow and arrow, looking at him expressionlessly, just like... Kagome rolled her throat, raised her neck stiffly, and looked at Kikyo.

"This... that... I... you, did you see it?" The voice was trembling.

Kikyo nodded. A little figure that looked like her didn't care about being drawn like that, but... it was also strange. She was stunned for a long time when she saw it for the first time.
