Nangong had held the magatama before that month under the guise of keeping it for her. She handed it over to Lin Qingluo on her own, but in fact she had to bear certain responsibilities.

However, since Lin Qingluo can safely hold magatama, it means that he does have the qualifications. Now that there are not all thirteen gatekeepers, if Lin Qingluo can pass the test, he will undoubtedly become a help to the Hidden Soul Academy.

——To put it bluntly, that magatama cannot be held casually. Lin Qingluo has this qualification, and no one wants to destroy him.

"You idiot, those people who are staring at you are actually looking at the qualifications of the gatekeepers. Everyone knows their dark thoughts."

"They...can't do it themselves, so they want me to be unable to do it?"

"Yes, if you can't do it, they will still have a chance, and future generations will still have a chance. If you can do it, this upward opening will be gone."

"Hi~ Power is charming."

"It's good to know this. Just be careful and don't fall into other people's schemes."

Nangong undoubtedly had hope for Lin Qingluo that month. She was very optimistic about his character, but some of Lin Qingluo's weaknesses could be said to be extremely weak.

"I know you can't walk on the road after seeing a good-looking girl. If possible, I hope you can pay attention."

"I pay attention, I definitely pay attention!"

Lin Qingluo promised decisively, but Na Yuejiang couldn't help but sigh when she looked at him.

She didn't even bother to complain about Lin Qingluo's infatuation. Others were multi-tasking scumbags. He cut his heart into several pieces and planned to drink a bowl of water.

"By the way, stupid boy, the struggle between the Hidden Soul Institute and the Doomsday Association is about to enter the war stage. Something will definitely happen in Tokyo, so be smart."

"Okay! If something happens, I will definitely take action to solve it!"

"No! I'm not asking you to solve it. I'm telling you to run away and don't get yourself in."

Nangong didn't have an overall understanding of Lin Qingluo's fighting power that month, but many times, the weak knew how to run quickly, and if they had a little strength, they relied on their bravery and rushed forward stupidly, but they might just give it away.

"It's a war between the Soul Hunters and the Doomsday Association, and many, many people will die. Don't go forward and seek death."

"understand!"

Lin Qingluo knew that Nangong Nayue was caring for him, so he couldn't help but smile happily, which made Nayuejiang snort and hit him on the head with a foreign fan.

“These are the things I’m looking for you this time, you can go.

"Oh~ come on, I'm still hungry. Is there anything I can eat?"

Lin Qingluo, as a person who beat snakes with a stick, finally came to Yue Jiang's house to do something, how could he just leave like this.

He and Na Yuejiang haven't seen each other for a long time. Now is a good time to deepen their relationship. Whoever leaves directly is a fool.

"Ha... Do you expect me to cook? Order takeout."

Nangong didn't chase Lin Qingluo away that month. In other words, she deliberately didn't eat while she was waiting for him. Maybe she didn't want to wait with him.

Since the Kuroshio incident in Kyoto, martial law has been completely enforced in Tokyo. As a special soul purifier, Nangong Nayue has far more things at hand than Lin Qingluo thought.

Moreover, he had no idea how much trouble she had blocked for him behind the scenes in the other world.

The Thirteen Gatekeepers involve the foundation of the Hidden Soul Academy. Lin Qingluo can hold magatama around, not because of how powerful he is, but because Nangong Nayue's signature is strong enough.

"Then Yue-chan~ I'll make you a pot of tea~"

"..."

Nangong Nayue looked at the silly Lin Qingluo and secretly sighed at the happiness of the ignorant.In her eyes, Lin Qingluo has always been a child who has not grown up and needs her to take care of him.

But how long can she take care of him?

Lin Qingluo also had her own ideas, and he also had his own little plans. She would not interfere in his affairs. The only thing she could do was to try her best to save his life no matter what happened.

"After an encounter, this is all I can do."

Soon after, a large number of takeaways ordered by Nangong Nayue arrived. Lin Qingluo looked at the food on the table with a silly look and began to eat happily.

Chapter 176: Kasumigaoka Shiyu’s hesitation

After experiencing so many things, Lin Qingluo is no longer the stupid kid, and his mind has grown a lot, but when facing Nangong Nayue, he is always unusually relaxed and at ease.

The two of them had a long meal. After the meal, Lin Qingluo made black tea. Na Yuejiang sat with him on the sofa and talked about some recent events, which also made Lin Qingluo mentally prepared.

In the evening, Lin Qingluo left Nangong Nayue's residence. He originally wanted to go back to the apartment to rest, but he didn't expect another call from Mai Sakurajima.

There was no other way. Lin Qingluo could only maintain his previous lies to Mahiru Shiina and continue his non-existent 'soul purifier work'. It seemed that it would be difficult to go home tonight.

"Qingluo-kun, welcome back~"

Mai Sakurajima, who uses the body of Toyohama Kazuka, makes people feel emotionally confused. She squats in the entrance and takes out slippers for Lin Qingluo, and then arranges the shoes he took off, as if she is a newlywed wife welcoming her husband home. .

"Has Hexiang come back?"

"Well, Yangno sent it back to her."

Mai Sakurajima didn't ask where Lin Qingluo had gone, because if it was something that could be talked about, he would definitely tell her at this time, but Lin Qingluo didn't say anything and just walked into the living room with her.

At this time, Toyohama Kazuka, who was using her sister's body, just walked out of the master bedroom. She had just finished taking a shower, and her body was still wet with moisture. When she saw Lin Qingluo, her expression softened slightly.

Obviously, Toyohama Kazuka is also a little worried about Lin Qingluo's safety. She doesn't know much about the other world, but she just feels that it is very dangerous.

Mai Sakurajima saw all this, but she didn't say anything more and turned around and walked into the kitchen.

"Lin Qingluo, I left some food for you, do you want to eat it now?"

"No, I'm full from eating outside."

Lin Qingluo was sitting on the sofa. Mai Sakurajima poured her a cup of hot water and then sat next to him.

It's a pity that Sakurajima Mai is not her own body. She deliberately kept a distance from Lin Qingluo. They are obviously the closest couple, but now they can't do anything, which makes people feel restless and regretful.

"Mai-san, how are you doing today?

"It's pretty good. Everything went smoothly. No one in the company noticed."

When Sakurajima Mai said this, she was quite helpless. She was a solo star, so why not become good friends with the other members of an idol group?

——Of course, there is no conflict between Toyohama Kazuka and other colleagues, and there is no problem in normal interactions.

"Hexiang's recent schedule is not difficult. She is just preparing for the next performance with all her strength. There is no problem on my side."

At this time, Sakurajima Mai took out a notebook and saw that the name belonged to Toyohama Kazuka. It recorded various trivial matters at work.Lin Qingluo took a quick glance and realized that everything was simple and easy for Mai Sakurajima.

"Okay, that's it for now. When this matter is resolved, we will find a way to arrange some resources for Hexiang in the future."

"I... I don't need it!"

Toyohama Kazuka seemed a little shy when talking about this topic. It has been two or three years since she debuted, but she is still a tepid underground idol. In fact, it cannot be said that her professional skills are not good, it is just that she has no opportunities and platforms.

Of course, Mai Sakurajima had no objection to Lin Qingluo's arrangement. The reason why she rarely helped Toyohama Kazuka was mostly due to the conflict between her mother and father, and secondly, to avoid exposing her family situation.Of course she was happy that Lin Qingluo could take the initiative to help her sister.

"Qingluo-kun, should you turn to Yukinoshita Harano for resources in this area? Will you owe too many favors?"

"I'm not afraid of owing her a favor, I'm just afraid that her price-performance ratio is not high. But Shiho Asahi, whom I met today, can also be used."

Lin Qingluo mentioned Asao Shiho's name here, which surprised Mai Sakurajima. She asked Toyohama Kazuka what happened today, and found that except for the sudden onset of psychosis, everything else was normal.

"Asaki Shiho, where can I trust you?"

"Use it temporarily. It doesn't matter what he thinks. If you don't want to die, you must show sincerity."

Lin Qingluo actually considered using Asao Shiho to fish out Yokokura Jun, and then followed Yokokura Jun's line to find Fujiwara Natsuki.But Ark Knight seems to have no customer service, so it’s hard to tell the value of this line.

"Let's make do with this for now. There is no other particularly good method for the time being."

"also."

Mai Sakurajima heard that there was an inside story, but she was considerate and did not ask any more questions. Lin Qingluo would not hide ordinary things from her, and there was obviously a lot involved.

"By the way, Qingluo-kun, the first comeback has been confirmed."

"Oh? Asahi Shiho is pretty fast. We haven't decided yet during the meal."

Lin Qingluo took the mobile phone from Mai Sakurajima and confirmed the information in the mailbox.

Each episode of the variety show produced by Shiho Asao has a different theme. As the mysterious guest of this episode, Mai Sakurajima will definitely have the most scenes, so she needs to make a lot of preparations.

The filming location of the show was arranged at Mount Takao. The opening scene required all the guests to compete in climbing the mountain. The funny and interesting things that happened along the way were the material for the first round.

"So, there will be accidents during mountain climbing?"

"Isn't this kind of variety show the selling point of pranking guests?"

Mai Sakurajima has been on this type of program, so she knows something about it. In order to ensure that the guests' reactions are interesting, the program team usually does not tell the specific accident, but the general direction will be told to avoid bad accidents.

"Hexiang, there may be unexpected shocks at that time, but there will be no danger."

"I know, I'll do it right."

It was the first time for Toyohama Kazuka to appear on such a big show, and she was very nervous. It would be okay if she was representing herself, but the matter involved her sister's comeback, and she was very worried that she had messed up.

"Hexiang, it's okay. Just relax. Even if you fail this time, there will be many opportunities in the future."

"Um……"

Toyohama Kazuka just nodded in response to her sister's comfort. Obviously she didn't think so, and she became more nervous than before.

Seeing this scene, Sakurajima Mai turned her head and looked at Lin Qingluo. Lin Qingluo looked at her thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

"When will the filming start? I will accompany Hexiang there."

"Tentatively next Monday."

Mai Sakurajima immediately settled the matter. Toyohama Kazuka didn't even say anything to refuse, so she could only pretend to be unhappy at this time.

Lin Qingluo calculated the time and found that he would be free as long as he did not go to school that day and could accompany him throughout the whole process.

"Okay, I will follow when the time comes. Even in the worst case scenario, I can protect Hexiang's safety."

"Qingluo-kun, please stop being so clumsy."

Mai Sakurajima hadn't thought about this at first, but when Lin Qingluo mentioned it now, she couldn't help but become worried.

Lin Qingluo smiled and said it was his fault, took a few sips from the water glass on the table, and turned the topic to Mai Sakurajima's first appearance in a variety show.

Of course Sakurajima Mai would not refuse. She vividly told what happened at that time, making Lin Qingluo and Toyohama Kazuka laugh.

The topic ended and the atmosphere between the three of them improved. Seeing that everything was over, Lin Qingluo actually wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Unfortunately, Mai Sakurajima proposed to stay overnight first. Lin Qingluo stayed in the guest bedroom by herself, and Kazuka stayed in the master bedroom with her. There was no inconvenience.

Lin Qingluo did not refuse, and the matter was settled. Toyohama Kazuka got up and went to clean the guest bedroom, while Lin Qingluo was pulled by Sakurajima Mai to sit in front of the TV.

"Lin Qingluo, I bought a game console today~ We can play games together."

"Oh~ Not bad, let's fight till dawn today!"

Lin Qingluo didn't know why Sakurajima Mai insisted on letting him sleep here, but the two girls could see and eat now, so he might as well find an opportunity to see more.

Mai Sakurajima very arrogantly expressed her determination to "stay with her until the end". Naturally, Lin Qingluo would not refuse, so he manipulated the characters to start cooperating with Mai Sakurajima.

Not long after, Toyohama Kazuka walked out of the room. She came over with interest and joined the game...

Outside the window, darkness swept across the sky, and the whole world gradually became quiet. The lights of the buildings were like inverted starlight, and thousands of households made up the world.

At this moment, a girl with a quiet temperament was sitting at the table, looking at the phone in her hand with a solemn expression.

On the caller ID, the name Machida Enko kept flashing, and it was clear that the other party had no intention of hanging up the phone.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu hesitated for a moment, finally let out a long sigh, and chose to answer the phone.

"Editor Machida, good evening."

"Really? Are you really okay?"

On the other side of the phone, Machida Enko, the editor of Fusugawa Library, could hear the unwillingness in the girl's tone, but she could not disobey the editor's decision.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, the sales data for the first week of the second volume of "Metronome of Love" have been released, and the results... are not ideal."

"I know."

Kasumigaoka Shiu's answer was very concise, and the girl's tone was very indifferent, as if these things had nothing to do with her, but Machida Enko on the opposite side knew very well that the girl was just trying to endure it.

"Of course, this is just the sales data for the first week, and subsequent outbreaks are not impossible."

"It's already...impossible."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu clenched her fists hard, and she couldn't bear the tone of her voice at this time. She put all her efforts into "Love Metronome", but in the end it ended up like this. How could she be willing to accept it.
