They awakened the simulator memory!

099. "Oh~man"

Usually in the kendo club, Fumino takes the initiative to chat with Yukinoshita. He doesn't talk to Yukinoshita much.

And he always felt that Yukinoshita seemed to be deliberately avoiding communication with him...

Although Yukinoshita always glanced at him when he was practicing his sword, when it came to face-to-face conversations, Yukinoshita would answer very concisely like he did just now, with a clear plan to talk the topic to death.

Yukinoshita behaved normally when chatting with Fumino...

It's really strange. Could it be that in Yukinoshita's heart, his identity as a junior uncle made her feel so uncomfortable?

"Didi didi----"

"Mr. Shimizu, get in the car."

At this time, Hiiragi Shinoa drove a car over. She lowered the window and honked the horn to remind Qing Shuiquan.

"I'm coming here."

After Qingshuiquan responded, he turned around and said goodbye to Yukinoshita.

"Yukoshita-san, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"kindness......"

Yukinoshita stood there, watching without saying a word as Qing Shuiquan carried two cartons of books to the car and then left with the car.

After the small bridge car merged into the main road, Yukinoshita looked back at the storefront and signboard of "Night Crow's Nest".

Is this really a bookstore?What books did Qing Shuiquan buy from it?

Yukinoshita stood at the door of "Night Crow's Nest" and hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and left silently.

.........

A car that drives smoothly on the streets.

Hiiragi Shinoa asked curiously: "Mr. Shimizu, who is that girl to you just now?"

Qing Shuiquan glanced sideways at Hiiragi Shinoa, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm curious, what else could it be?" Hiiragi Shinoa's eyes were filled with the fire of gossip unique to girls.

"Hey, Mr. Qingshui, that girl looks at you very strangely. Could it be that she likes you?"

Qing Shuiquan held her chin and said in a cold tone: "You guessed it wrong. She and I are at best ordinary friends. We just met and said hello by chance on the road."

"Really?" Hiiragi Shinoa expressed doubt.

Qing Shuiquan raised his chin and said calmly: "Don't be distracted, watch the road."

"Okay." Hiiragi Shinoa did not continue to ask.

It would be disrespectful to continue inquiring into the guest's privacy.

.........

After an unknown amount of time, Yukinoshita carrying a bag of ingredients passed by the "Night Crow's Nest" again.

Looking at the mysterious storefront of "Night Crow's Nest", Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, then turned around and slowly walked into "Night Crow's Nest".

"Jinglingling~~"

The welcome bell rang, the goods had been delivered, and Hiiragi Shinoa, who returned to the store to read, said without raising her head.

"welcome."

"..."

Yukinoshita remained silent, silently walking to the shelves and browsing the items sold in the store.

Crystal balls, black candles, tarot cards, amulets, compasses, magic wands...these are all occult things, right?

Qingshuiquan comes to a place like this to buy books?What book did he buy?

Yukinoshita frowned slightly and continued browsing.

After a while, Yukinoshita finally came to the shelves with books.

Looking at the titles of the books on the spine, Yukinoshita's eyebrows clenched unconsciously.

"Mastering Magic: Spellcasting Classes for Psychics"

"Grandma Yaja's Book of Witchcraft - Slavic Magic from the Forest Witch"

"Llewellyn's Yearbook 2023 - A Witch's Spell of the Day"

"55 Herbal Astrology Oracle Cards and Instructions"

The entire bookshelf is filled with similar occult books, and you can tell at a glance that they are bluffing tricks.

Qingshuiquan actually bought two large boxes of this kind of book? !Is there anything wrong with his head? !Isn't this a waste of money?

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

She frowned and left the "Night Crow's Nest" in a somewhat irritable mood.

"Jinglingling~~"

Listening to the welcoming bell ringing again, Hiiragi Shinoa subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the door.

The welcoming bells of "Nightcrow's Nest" are specially made. There are subtle differences in the sounds of welcoming and sending off guests. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. But for the Hiiragi family, the difference is like a cat meowing to a dog barking. It is a no-brainer. can all be distinguished.

The bell rang twice in a short period of time, once to welcome guests and once to see off guests, indicating that the previous guest only stayed in the store for a short time.

"It's strange. He leaves just as soon as he comes. What did this guest do here?"

Hiiragi Shinoa thought for a while, closed her eyes, communicated with the formation on the ceiling, and glanced at the surveillance record just now.

"Huh? It's her?"

The visitor was the girl who greeted Mr. Shimizu at the door before. After browsing the items on the shelves, she frowned and left "Night Crow's Nest".

After confirming the identity of the guest, Shinoa Hiiragi muttered in a low voice.

"Let me just say that my intuition is right...just friends, hehe~men."

.........

At seven o'clock in the evening, after Yukinoshita sent Yono away who had eaten and drank enough, he thought about the clear water spring and the "Night Crow's Nest" again.

She was very confused as to why Qing Shuiquan was suddenly interested in mysticism. Is it because swordsmanship was no longer good?Or is it that he originally had an interest in mysticism?

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita took out her phone and dug out Furuhashi Fumino's email.

If Qingshuiquan had been interested in the occult before, his childhood sweetheart Furuhashi must have known about it.

If you ask Furuhashi-san, you can confirm this, but...

Yukinoshita stared at Furuhashi Fumino's mail, hesitated for a long time, and didn't type a word.

"Ah~"

After a long time, Yukinoshita sighed and put away her phone helplessly.

Forget it, let's ask in the kendo room. She really didn't know how to ask on the phone.

.........

At the same time, Qingshuiquan is immersed in the ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate himself.

Since returning home in the afternoon, he has been eagerly absorbing knowledge, and some of his previous doubts have finally been solved.

First of all, the humanoid monsters he encountered before were scientifically called "evil spirits" in the mysterious world.

Evil spirits are generated by the obsession and resentment of living beings before death. They have relatively low intelligence and relatively fixed behavior patterns.

Generally speaking, the strength of an evil spirit when it is first born is positively correlated with two dimensions, one is the strength before death, and the other is the obsession and resentment when dying.

After the evil spirit is born, its first purpose is revenge.

After the revenge is over, a few evil spirits will return to the underworld because their obsessions dissipate, but most evil spirits will still linger in the human world.

These evil spirits generally do not actively pester ordinary people. They will only pester people who can see them, or subconsciously desire items containing magic power.

This kind of behavior is essentially to survive. In the perception of evil spirits, ordinary people are like weeds on the roadside. They have no attraction at all. Evil spirits will not take the initiative to eat grass unless they have no choice.

In their eyes, people who can see them are meat and potatoes, rare delicacies, and they will naturally take the initiative to pester them.

The same goes for items containing magic.

100. "Yukishita, does your brother know about this?" 』

Secondly, after reading the history of the development of the mysterious world, Qing Shuiquan discovered that the mysterious power of this world has developed more comprehensively and balancedly, creating a scene full of vitality and a hundred flowers blooming.

He just briefly flipped through the "Basic Onmyoji Encyclopedia" and found a lot of good things in it.

For example, the blinding method is more convenient than the optical academic method, and the weapon strengthening method is very useful to him at the moment.

The former allows him to bring occult books to class and read them openly.

The latter, combined with his swordsmanship, can produce unexpected effects.

In addition, this world also has a universal set of strength levels.

From low to high, there are six levels: Paper, Merger, Strong, Fierce, Mad, and God.

Although his current combat ability can reach the same level, his physical fitness and magic power are still truly paper-level.

When you think of reaching the point where you can control your own destiny, there is still a long way to go...

.........

The next day, Monday.

Qingshuiquan used the blinding technique he had just learned to read the "Material Encyclopedia" openly and openly under the eyes of Hiratsuka Shizuka.

However, due to his current limited magic power, it is difficult to maintain a whole class, so he can only hide the "Material Encyclopedia" with a blinding method at the critical moment when Hiratsuka Shizuka looks at him.

During the lunch break, Qingshuiquan left a lunch box in his left hand and "Material Encyclopedia" in his right hand, and headed to the kendo room with Fumino Furuhashi.

"Izumi, what kind of book is that in your hand?" Furuhashi Fumino asked curiously.

"It's an idle book, Fumino probably doesn't interest you."

"I haven't read it yet, Quan, how do you know if I'm interested?"

Qingshuiquan glanced sideways at Fumino Furuhashi, "Do you want to see it?"

"Yeah." Furuhashi Fumino nodded with interest.

"I'll show it to you in the kendo room later."

"Okay."

The two of them walked forward, and when they arrived at the kendo room, they were surprised to find that Yukinoshita had already arrived first.

But because there was no key, Yukinoshita could only wait for the two of them at the door.

"Yukoshita-san, you came very early today."

Qingshuiquan stepped forward to open the door, and Furuhashi Fumino took Yukinoshita's arm familiarly.

"It's just a minute or two earlier than usual."

Saying that, Yukinoshita glanced at the heavy book Qingshuiquan held in his right arm calmly.

"Click---"

The door opened, and Qingshuiquan walked into the kendo room first, followed closely by Furuhashi Fumino and Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Yukino sat down on the single sofa on the left as always, and Qingshuiquan and Furuhashi Fumino also sat on the long sofa in the middle as always.

"Minister Shimizu, what kind of book is that?" Yukinoshita asked with a calm expression.

Qing Shuiquan picked up the "Encyclopedia of Materials" and put it on the coffee table with great magnanimity.

"You can see for yourself."

"Okay, let me take a look..."Material Encyclopedia", strange name."

Furuhashi Fumino moved the "Encyclopedia of Materials" between himself and Yukinoshita before starting to flip through it.

"Devil's grass...swamp yarrow...tansy...mandrake...St. John's wort..."
