Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"Mai-san is so cruel, this is my wish..."

"It is better to abandon this wish."

Ten minutes later, the two got off the bus at the station and then walked out of the station.

There are many people coming and going on the street. Everyone has a smile on their face and holds some snacks, bread, skewers or other food in their hands.

Standing on the street, Luotian looked around and found that there were quite a few road signs, and some places even had the distance directly marked.

"Ms. Mai, we are going to the Komachi-dori commercial shopping street, right?" Luotian asked, pointing at the road sign.

"Hmm? Yeah." Sakurajima Mai put down her phone and looked in the direction Luo Tian pointed. "It's only 500 meters away, not too far. Let's go."

Sakurajima Mai took the lead, which forced Luotian to follow, for fear that she would be hit by passers-by.

"Mai, have you filmed here before?" Luotian chased after her and took Sakurajima Mai's hand unnoticeably. It seemed that she was used to being held by her hand and she didn't even resist.

"Well, I'm endorsing an advertisement for a beverage company here." said Mai Sakurajima.

"Speaking of which, all snacks and drinks endorsed by Mai seem to be very popular." Luotian still remembers it clearly. Many times he wanted to buy a juice endorsed by Sakurajima Mai, but it was sold out, forcing Luotian to go to other neighborhoods to buy it.

"Is that so? I'm not sure." said Mai Sakurajima.

"Student Mai really doesn't know anything. After all, you are the spokesperson for this product, have you never tried it?" Luotian wondered.

"Well, I don't like drinks very much, and I'm very busy. Sakurajima Mai said with a little regret: "I didn't go shopping in Komachi-dori shopping street at that time, and there was that particularly delicious fried noodles... I don't know if it is still available now..."

"Mai-san is really greedy. This must have happened a long time ago, right?"

"It's not that long. Only two years have passed."

"Isn't two years long enough?"

Five hundred meters is not far, and while the two were chatting, they had arrived at the entrance of Komachi-dori shopping street.

Before entering, you can hear the bustling and noisy sounds, and the aroma of various forms of frying, roasting and boiling also wafts in.

Looking around, there were crowds of people and it was very lively.

Luotian tightly held the hand of the girl beside him.

"This is the entrance to the commercial street, so there are a lot of people here. It won't be so crowded once you get inside," explained Mai Sakurajima.

"Do you mean it's very big inside?" Luotian asked.

"Yes, Komachi-dori Commercial Street doesn't refer to what we see here, but to a shopping district." Sakurajima Mai said, "The commercial street here is mainly for tourists who come to worship at Hachimangu Shrine, so it is built very large. The only crowded area is the entrance."

"It seems that classmate Mai has made a travel guide." Luotian said.

"Just check it on your phone and you'll see everything." Sakurajima Mai raised her phone and said, "Let's go in."

"it is good."

The two walked into the commercial street together.

As the two passed through the crowded entrance, they found that the place was indeed as spacious as Sakurajima Mai had said. It was not just one street, but several, with roads and alleys crisscrossing each other, making transportation convenient.

On the main street where Luotian and Sakurajima Mai are at the moment, there are shops operating in order on both sides of the street.

Specialty shops, bookstores, comic shops, restaurants, teahouses, and a wide variety of specialty goods are dazzling, and the fragrant snacks will whet your appetite.

"It's really amazing." Luo Tian, ​​who came to Komachidori shopping street for the first time, was extremely surprised. A shopping street of this scale is rare.

"This is just the outside. If you go inside, you can see some strange little stalls." Mai Sakurajima said as she recalled, "I remember the fried noodles stall was right inside."

"Then let's go inside?" Luotian suggested.

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai nodded.

"Wait a minute, there's grilled squid!"

"Mo~ Luotian really likes to eat these."

Then the two of them walked along the main road of the commercial street.

As the two went deeper into the shopping street, the number of people did not decrease at all despite being so far away. Instead, it seemed extremely lively.

On both sides of the street here are some mobile stalls similar to those at festivals, selling all kinds of classic fried, boiled and stir-fried foods. There are also shops similar to open-air ramen carts, with a long bench where customers sit face to face with the chef.

Even the fried noodle stalls that Mai Sakurajima longed for had more than a dozen of them.

"Do you remember which stall it was?" Luotian asked while eating grilled squid.

"I don't remember. It seems like this place has changed a lot." Mai Sakurajima observed carefully and came to this conclusion.

"Really?" Luo Tian threw the skewer in his hand into the trash can beside him, and then walked to a fried noodle stall.

"Hey! sir, would you like some fried noodles? It's absolutely delicious!" the stall owner shouted to Luotian.

However, Luotian took out a wad of money from his pocket and threw it to the stall owner.

"Guest...Guest, what are you doing?"

"Don't be nervous, I need to borrow your fried noodle stand."

Luotian was too lazy to explain to the stall owner. He just walked over and pushed away the dazed stall owner, then personally fried two unique and fragrant fried noodles.

"Try it and see how it tastes." Luotian handed the fried noodles to Sakurajima Mai.

"For me?" Sakurajima Mai was a little flattered. She didn't expect that Luotian would spend 100,000 yen just to give her a noodle.

"Yes." Luo Tian nodded and said, "Eat and search for it, and then evaluate whether it tastes better as I made it or as you remember."

The two then walked into the shopping street, going deeper into it, but the shops that appeared before them were no longer snack bars, but clothing stores, souvenir shops and other stores.

Moreover, in the alley, Luotian discovered many offering places and shrines, and each shrine exuded a faint smell of filth.

Luotian secretly asked the system and learned that these were the resentful souls that were being enshrined and purified.

"It seems there is nothing ahead. Luo Tian stopped and suggested: "Ma Yi, let's go back."

Although the foul smell here is very weak, it is impossible for Luotian to ignore it. It is like when you see dog shit in front of you, you will instinctively feel disgusted and want to stay away from it.

PS: I have updated less in the past two days, not because I am too lazy to update, but because this part of the story is a bit blocked and I can only get through it slowly. I hope the big guys will not abandon the newbies (*A√^*)

"It's okay." Sakurajima Mai shook her head slightly and said, "I've never been to this area before. Let's walk all the way to Hachimangu Shrine."

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is the final stop of Mai Sakurajima's trip and can be reached directly from other entrances of Komachi-dori.

"Okay." Luotian agreed, but his eyes were looking at the shrines in the alleys intentionally or unintentionally.

And compared to snacks, girls really prefer items like clothes and souvenirs.

Sakurajima Mai is a good example. She would go into every store to look around, then select and compare in front of the mirror. When Luotian offered to buy something, she would shake her head and refuse, putting the clothes back on the shelf.

Just like that, the two of them strolled along the way but didn't buy anything.

While strolling around, Luotian suddenly discovered that Sakurajima Mai always had a faint smile on her lips, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

As long as you are happy, Luo Tian sighed in his heart. Although he didn't understand what made Sakurajima Mai happy, but seeing her smile, this date was worth it after all.

Just at this moment, a hoarse voice shouted: "Hey, hey, cute little girl, do you want to tell your future destiny?"

"???"

"!!!" Luotian and Sakurajima Mai both showed surprised expressions and looked at the tent stall that seemed to be built temporarily.

Sitting in booth 553 was a hunched figure covered in a red cloak.

"Can you see me?" Mai Sakurajima walked over excitedly.

"Oh, of course, you two lovely guests."

The stall owner raised her head, revealing a wrinkled and weathered face. There was a very obvious mole between her left eye and the bridge of her nose. She was an old woman with a very charlatan temperament.

is her…

Luotian recognized the old woman, an exorcist who pretended to be a charlatan, Takeda Mie, who was known as the Goddess of Shitamachi.

Well...it doesn't stand out very much in the anime.

After confirming the old woman's identity, Luo Tian stepped forward and asked, "In that case, can you tell fortunes for me first?"

"Luotian?" Sakurajima Mai was a little confused, but was given a reassuring look.

"Uh...?" The old woman looked up at Luotian. Seeing that there was business coming to her door, she smiled kindly on her wrinkled face and said, "Of course, handsome boy, 3,000 yen per time."

“Huh~?!”

Luo Tian sneered and threw 300,000 yen on the table, then said: "Then you can tell me where I will go later. If the divination is correct, the 300,000 yen will be yours."

"Haha, of course no problem." Takeda Sanzhi was almost laughing when he saw the 300,000 yen on the table. He quickly lifted the black cloth on the table, revealing a purple divination ball.

At this moment, Takeda Sanzhi was in a very good mood, secretly laughing at himself for meeting another fat sheep.

As an exorcist, she had learned divination from her master before using it on the eve of an exorcist battle, but now she was using divination to predict people's actions, which was as simple as it could be.

After all, as an exorcist, he has some skills.

Then, Takeda Sanzhi muttered something, then stretched out his hands and waved them around the divination ball.

After a few breaths, a weak spiritual power gathered from Takeda Sanzhi's hands into the divination ball, which aroused Luotian's interest.

But the next second, the divination ball broke into several pieces with a click under Takeda Mie's shocked gaze.

This scene deeply shocked Takeda Mie. Although she was old, she was not stupid. She knew immediately that she had met an incredible person.

"Who are you..."

"I am... just a student."

Luotian placed his hands on the table and mobilized a bit of his magic power to overflow from his body.

boom!

Takeda Mie's brain trembled and she looked at Luotian in horror. She felt that the young man in front of her exuded terrifying spiritual power that was as deep and vast as the ocean.

Takeda Sanzhi had no doubt that all the spiritual power of his master might not be able to match even a finger of the young man in front of him.

"grown ups"

When faced with the question of addressing Luotian, Takeda Sanzhi changed his manner instinctively. He lowered his head respectfully, not daring to look Luotian in the eye.

"Luotian? Old woman?" Sakurajima Mai was stunned when she saw this scene. She had no idea what was going on. Why did she suddenly lower her head in fear?

"Why are you here?" Luo Tian asked.

"Um... Your Excellency..." Takeda Sanzhi replied respectfully, "I was passing by here and found that there were resentful souls wandering around. So I used the shrine here and the strong fireworks here that never stopped to purify the resentful souls."

"Oh? So it was you who collected the filth in those shrines." Luotian suddenly realized that this Takeda Sanzhi was much stronger than in the original anime. He even knew how to use the mundane atmosphere of the world to purify the resentful souls.

"Yes, sir." Takeda Sanzhi admitted.

"Have you noticed anything more disgusting than these little gadgets?" Luotian asked.

"Uh..." Takeda Sanzhi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Sir, I don't know what it is, but I can feel a vague malice..."

"Interesting." Luotian stood up.

"Luotian, what are you talking about with the old woman?" Sakurajima Mai asked puzzledly.

"It's about some weird stuff. Let's go." Luotian didn't intend to say it clearly. After all, Sakurajima Mai couldn't see, so it would be useless to say it.

"Um... okay." Sakurajima Mai glanced at Takeda Sanzhi who was keeping his head down and saying nothing, and then left with Luotian.

However, as soon as Luotian and Sakurajima Mai left, Takeda Sanzhi packed up his things and chased after Luotian.

Takeda Sanzhi had a hunch that what Luotian was talking about must be a powerful evil spirit, and he must follow to witness it or help this young exorcist.

"So suspicious..." Sakurajima Mai looked at Luotian.

"Huh? Mai-san, what's wrong?" Luotian asked.

"Luotian! Sakurajima Mai stopped and thought for a moment before asking, "What are resentful souls and filth? What are you and the old woman talking about?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" It doesn't matter whether Sakurajima Mai knows or not, because she can't see those things. Although Luotian didn't mention it on his own initiative, he won't keep it a secret.

"Yeah! I want to know!" Sakurajima Mai said firmly.

"Well, then I will tell you about the existence and world known as the Wrathful Spirits and the Filth."
