CHAPTER 17: What would a Yokai parade be like?

On the way here, it doesn't matter if they were playing football, talking, reading or chasing skirts. The moment they laid eyes on Virgil, their gaze fell on him. In their eyes, a flame of intense hatred burned, they gritted their teeth so hard that it went 'bajibaji'. they look like they could turn into a nasty dog at any moment and attack to bite you.

Feeling the gazes that could open thousands of holes in his body. As a small level 28 super, he is honestly scared….

Hinagiku stretched her body satisfyingly and then shook her pink hair fabulously. The moment she released so much charm, he could feel the gazes intensify.

He could only sigh and agonizingly place his palm on his face.

"What's the matter? You keep letting out breath after breath, you're going to turn into an old man at this rate, you know..."

Looking at him, she provoked him so much.

"Urgh..."

Squinting his eyes, he sighed, his body drained of energy.

"Even though you were very popular, but who would know when someone actually knew you, it's quite disconcerting how popular you are."

Giving him a strange look, she still doesn't understand what he's talking about. He then turned his lips to the side signaling her to look there, only now did she understand what he meant.

She felt a little sorry as she scratched the side of her face. She quickly changed the conversation.

"So let's go home, I'm looking forward to dinner tonight."

Reaching the last part, her eyes became increasingly brighter, clearly while the girl was saying this to change the conversation, her heart was actually looking forward to it...

He can only shake his head at her.

"Nn… You go home first, I'll go home a little later.""

Stopping halfway, she turned and asked him.

"Why? Did you forget something in class? I'll wait for you."

[A/N: It's happening boys, get on the ship]

"No, I have some business to attend to, so I was planning to come back a little late."

He regretted not being able to spend time flirting with Kaichou-sama but he really can't help it, duty calls.

"Is there any business to resolve?"

Looking closely at his face, she tried to gauge what his intentions were. It wasn't until he started to get a little uncomfortable under her gaze that she finally said it.

"If I remember correctly, someone once said he had nowhere to go, so he wants to be a butler, tell me, where can you go now?"

Looking at her beautiful face, he took two steps back while laughing awkwardly.

"Maa, it's just a small matter, I'll finish it in a moment, I think you'd better go home first."

Puffing out her cheeks, she narrowed her greenish-yellow eyes. Looking at his face for a while, she turned her head with a cold hmph.

"If you don't want to say that, that's fine. Remember, if you need help with anything, trust me. I don't know if I'll be useful or not, but it doesn't hurt to have more people working."

"I know, I know, if there is anything you can help with, I will definitely come to you!"

He joked.

"I will go ahead now, remember to come back early!"

He instantly gave her a funny look, that's when she realized that what she said now sounds like what a wife would say to her husband….

Her cheeks turned red, noticing the funny look still on his face, she screamed against his funny face.

"Hurry up and go do what you want!"

"I'm going to say goodbye now, bye!"

Feeling that her continued presence would bring him harm, he immediately turned and ran away.

When he was no longer in sight, she withdrew her furious gaze as she muttered something.

"Sooner or later, I will discover all your secrets!"

---------

At this moment, he is in the old dormitory, a wave of cold flashed and the Kusanagi sword appeared in her hands, which he promptly affixed behind her waist.

Unlike his free days in the past, now that he is studying in Hakuo, how can a student bring a sword with him? Given that this school has a lot of crazy people, screw swords, some may have brought a gun, but he has no interest in being part of the cast of crazy people.

So, he used 10,000 Ip to buy a legendary tool that is mandatory in every novel ever – space ring!

At first he thought these rings were ubiquitous in romance novels, so they shouldn't be so expensive. He was wrong. He was so wrong.

Ignoring everyone else, this ring alone cost him 10 thousand. Even so, compared to other rings that have almost infinite space, this one is only approximately 100m3.

What can he do besides swallow and buy? If he didn't buy one now, he would still need it sooner or later. Since he is basically homeless, he can't store his things anywhere, a storage item is absolutely necessary.

Pushing the door open, he entered. Looking at the uneven and dilapidated place, he opened the system's probing function.

If he is within his field of vision, nothing can escape his investigation. Given that it contains 'Yokai', he must raise his guard if the enemy knows how to become invisible.

The sky outside is slowly darkening, and he basically walked all over the old dorm, but there weren't any yokai in sight. He couldn't help but feel perplexed, this certainly couldn't be, the system said so, so it couldn't be wrong. This yokai leader should definitely be here, why hasn't he seen it yet?

You can't possibly have to wait until dark for the damn thing to come out, right?

Scratching his head, he looked up at the sky and decidedly abandoned the idea of waiting until nightfall.

Kaichou-sama already said that, she is very looking forward to tonight's dinner. If he isn't home at dinner time to make the meal, he's not sure if his favorability towards her would decrease, but she would definitely be cold towards him for a day or two. Just because of a damn ghost, he wouldn't sacrifice his relationship with Kaichou-sama, he definitely wouldn't.

If he had known beforehand, he would have simply gone ahead with his conquest when the meter was only half full, why did he have to go to the full love meter? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Beating himself up inside, he continued thinking, opening the system's store list, he began to think of a better measure.

After a while, he turned one side of his lips, turning his hands over, a faintly glowing ball of light appeared above his palm.

[Fluorescent ball: It has the ability to track mysterious energies, as long as it is within a certain radius, any abnormal energies such as curse, death qi, demonic qi and the like would be detected and searched for by the fluorescent ball]

[Cost: 1000 Ip]

Ignoring the lame name, the effect is very good, at least that's what it seems from the description….

Squeezing the fluorescent ball in his hands, it felt soft, like a girl's breasts. That's what he thought, despite never touching a girl's breasts before, he played the ball.

The ball hung in the air for a while, glowing dimly and floating up and down like a fish.

After that, the floating ball stopped and hovered in a certain direction.

{Lucky me… it works…}

He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

The speed of the ball slowed until it gradually went from a running speed to a walking pace. The ball continued to float towards the inside of the old dormitory. Drifting and drifting went.

Finally reaching the innermost part of the dormitory, the ball finally stopped its momentum and turned towards the ground.

Looking at the ground, he was stunned.

{What does that mean? Is this ball floating towards hell? What the fuck, I told you to find the ghost qi and not go to the underworld, get your ass back here!}

Playing tsukkomi, he seemed helpless, but what can he do? Better to dig and find out.

Drawing his sword, he struck the ground with it. Startled by the hollow sound, he smiled.

{Evidently there's another place back here!}

Taking a deep breath, he slashed through the ground…

Praaak~!!

The ground broke and dust flew everywhere, holding his nose with his hands, he stepped back and wiped the dust away with a sword strike.

The dust cloud went away and what appeared before him was a tunnel that could allow a person to pass through.

And at the end of this tunnel, he can see the dim light of the fluorescent ball. It looks like the ball stopped there after hitting the ground.

This shows that the mysterious energy that the ball was chasing came from here!

Poking his head inside, he looked into the tunnel, seeing that there was nothing but the light of the ball he faced and jumped.

He landed and raised his head to look in front of him, his heart skipped a beat at the sight in front of him.

A large hall stretched out in front of him; he estimated that the area appeared to be as large as the old dormitory. There's only dirt and dust here, as well as some cute things….

A giant crow flying across the ceiling, a floating gaseous snake, and a skeleton staring at him.

Suddenly, faced with this scene, he jumped in fright. It's only been 3 months since the start of his training, so he's still pretty much a normal human being. And a human being afraid of a ghost is quite normal…

Holding his chest, he gripped the sword tighter and looked at the giant crow almost half the size of the men.

General devouring crow: (lv10)

{Level 10? Pffft, so he's just an idiot. That yokai leader or something, can't just be a level 10, right?}

Curling his lips, he looked at the floating, gaseous giant snake.

Wandering Corpse Spirit: (lv10)

{Spirit? Isn't it a snake? But you're right, a snake doesn't float and it's definitely not in gas form. But it looks like he's not the yokai leader either. In the original work, did Saginomiya Isumi actually deal with these things? Where's the damn ghost!}

Sighing, he looked at the skeleton and went.

Delicate Skeleton: (lv10)

{You're just a skeleton, why imitate delicate shoujos? How delicate are you? How are you tender?}

Still stuck with his surprised face, he almost let the sword slip from his hand. He really wanted to ask where these names came from, is it from the Yokai leader? A demon's interest actually differs from that of a human. But perhaps for them this rough-looking skeleton might be too delicate.

Should he ask where the yokai leader is?

He is conflicted whether or not to do this.

However, even if he wants to leave, the other party will not let him do whatever he wants. The general eating crow cawed and he saw the wandering corpse spirit and skeleton shaking before charging at him.

{Of course, you can eat humans, but please evaluate your opponent. You guys are just level 10 freaks, just because you're demons, you think you can defeat a human like me?}

After the corpse spirit appeared before him, he reversed his control of the sword and decapitated the thing. Grabbing the skeleton by the skull, he pulled and slashed, causing it to flee with the corpse's spirit.

Looking at the raven he sneered.

"What? Weren't you too noisy just now? Why don't you call some more bitches..."

And very soon he would have his mischievous smile wiped off his face.

A giant horde of skeletons rose from the ground in streams. Trembling, they stood up and formed neat ranks. On the walls beside him, a horde of wandering corpses spilled out. With his mouth open, he just silently uttered against the general eating crow.

{I… I will be damned… this actually summoned them….}

[A/N: Moral of the story, don't tempt fate. Also, doesn't the horde of demons/yokai remind you of a certain tea-drinking rogue?]
