Chapter 24 Qingyue Xingling's Plea for Help
Searching for the monster...
[Search successful!]
[Fox, Dog, and Raccoon: ? ? ? ]
Location: 16 Shinsei-cho, Chie City
[Search Hint: Qingyue Xingling]
During English class, their teacher had to go to the office for some reason, so everyone was asked to study on their own first.
Yukimura Mashiro was fast asleep, slumped over the table; she must have stayed up all night playing games again.
Its ears drooped on its head, and the tip of its tail rested on its thigh.
From her slightly parted lips, Izumi Takumi even saw a hint of glistening.
In layman's terms, he was so sound asleep that he was drooling.
Izumi Takumi's eye twitched, but he still didn't disturb Yukimura Mashiro's sweet dream.
Bored, he used the new feature of the monster encyclopedia to search for monsters.
Then I got this information.
Why did the prompt mention Qingyue Xingling?
I opened my phone and searched for the address provided by the Yokai Encyclopedia. Izumi Takumi found that the address was in a residential area.
Since their last transaction, Izumi Takumi and Kiyotsuki Anrin haven't been in much contact, so he felt a little awkward about suddenly contacting her this time.
With his fingers unconsciously tapping the tabletop, Izumi Takumi decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Tomorrow is the midterm exam, there's no rush to ask after the exam.
……
Time flies, and three days passed quickly.
After writing the last word, Izumi Takumi put down his pen and waited quietly for the end bell to ring.
The exam was over on Sunday, so we got a day off.
Izumi Takumi felt he had performed quite well in this exam.
The sports festival is just a week away after the exams, so some students are especially excited.
Izumi Takumi wasn't particularly interested in the sports festival, since he didn't have many friends in his class besides Yukimura Mashiro and Kato Kazuma.
Even before the start of the school year, the students in the class had already formed their own small groups through Instagram.
Not wanting to force himself to fit in, he chose to observe from the sidelines. Anyway, with Kazuma Kato around, Takumi Izumi's school life wasn't too lonely or boring.
"After all, I've already become an Onmyoji."
While inwardly grumbling, Izumi Takumi turned to look at Yukimura Mashiro, who was still writing furiously.
With his excellent eyesight, Izumi Takumi glanced at Yukimura Mashiro's answer using a squinting technique.
Many of the multiple-choice questions matched my own answers.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing...?
Unwavering in his convictions, Izumi Takumi did not change his answer and continued to wait patiently.
Soon, the end bell rang.
After the exam papers were collected, Yukimura Mashiro raised her hands high and yelled, "It's finally over!"
Inside the classroom, quite a few other students did the same thing.
It seems they all take their first exams before entering high school very seriously.
Izumi Takumi packed his things, intending to go straight home.
But Yukimura Mashiro called out to him, "Izumi-kun, want to go play together!"
Seeing Izumi Takumi's interested expression, Yukimura Mashiro smiled and said, "Besides me, there's also Kei-chan and my sister. Izumi-kun can also invite Kato-kun along."
With exams over today, the soccer club that Kazuma Kato belongs to should have resumed activities by now.
However, Izumi Takumi still asked.
"Going out to play? I'm fine with that."
Upon receiving this reply, Izumi Takumi was puzzled: "Club activities have resumed, aren't you going to participate?"
When asked about this, Kazuma Kato waved his hand: "Club activities won't resume until tomorrow, and besides, I'm participating less and less these days. I guess I'll have to quit the soccer club in a while."
"Is it a matter of cultivation?"
"No." Kato Kazuma sighed, "My master has now placed me in the Onmyo-ryo's field teams to handle supernatural events and gain experience."
As he spoke, Kazuma Kato began to wink and say, "Takumi, do you want to come too? My master said he can pull some strings to get you into the team."
"To gain practical experience..."
Izumi Takumi was somewhat tempted, after all, he was currently just a figurehead, possessing theoretical knowledge but almost zero practical experience.
The only time they faced off was against Kato Tajuro.
However, the only thing that kind of battle can increase is survival experience.
Moreover, dealing with extraordinary events can lead to encounters with monsters.
By collecting them, you can earn rewards and increase your strength, making it a win-win situation.
"I'll think about it."
Izumi Takumi plans to consult with Yukimura Yuri.
He is now an Onmyoji for the Yukimura family, and cannot simply go to the Onmyodo without saying a word.
Kazuma Kato nodded: "Okay, just let me know if you want to come, and I'll have my master arrange it for you."
After returning to Yukimura Mashiro's place with Kato Kazuma, the three girls were now all together.
Yukimura Mashiro waved excitedly at the two of them, while Yukimura Yuri maintained her usual indifferent expression.
Fujita Kei changed into a pair of round-framed glasses and nodded to the two of them.
"Let's go! Karaoke!"
Yukimura Mashiro raised her fist and shouted, full of enthusiasm.
……
"It's not a game, I'm not a robot AI challenging you!"
"I'm not a phantom, I'm in your face, and I'm here to see it through!"
"Right before your eyes, watch us multiply, come to claim our rights. It's time!"
Kazuma Kato, holding the microphone, sang loudly, and surprisingly, it sounded quite good.
Having already finished singing a song, Izumi Takumi drank an iced soda and accompanied Kato Kazuma on stage.
Yukimura Mashiro was yelling along, while Fujita Kei was silently clapping along.
Although Yukimura Yuri did not make any movement, she watched all of this with tender eyes.
After the song ended, Kazuma Kato, in a showy manner, bowed to everyone, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's your turn!"
Wiping the sweat from his brow and taking the soda that Izumi Takumi tossed him, Kazuma Kato complained, "I knew I shouldn't have sung this hard; it's exhausting."
"Who knew you'd get so excited?" Izumi Takumi pointed to the table. "There are snacks if you're hungry."
"I'm actually a little hungry." Kato Kazuma picked up the fries on the table and began to eat them with relish.
After being coaxed by Mashiro Yukimura, Yukimura Yuri finally agreed to sing a song together.
The two girls sang the classic "Uchiage Hanabi".
When Yukimura Yuri opened her mouth, her beautiful singing voice stunned everyone.
"I didn't expect President Yukimura to be such a good singer." Kazuma Kato mumbled, his mouth full of fried chicken.
Takumi Izumi was also surprised. Just as he was enjoying the song, his phone, which was on silent in his pocket, suddenly vibrated.
Someone sent him several messages in a row.
Take out his phone and look at the sender.
It is Qingyue Xingling.
[Kiyotsuki Anrin: Izumi-kun, are you free right now? I have something I'd like to ask you.]
[Qingyue Xingling: My friend recently played a supernatural game that's been trending online.]
[Qingyue Xingling: Everything was fine at first, but in the last few days, I've noticed her behavior getting increasingly strange.]
[Qingyue Xingling: I suspect she might be possessed by a fox spirit...]
"A fox-dog-raccoon dog? Isn't that the yokai I found in the yokai encyclopedia before?"
Izumi Takumi keenly noticed this and immediately replied.
[Izumi Takumi: Where are you right now?]
