Chapter 19 Big Liar!
"Senior, would you like some?"
Seeing that Izumi Takumi was staring at her, Kiyotsuki Anrin, feeling a little embarrassed, handed over the spoon.
"No need, you can eat it."
Izumi Takumi shook his head, indicating that Kiyotsuki Anrin didn't need to worry about him.
Bruce had just approached him and explained why Qingyue Xingling had become so obedient.
"Master, I deliberately released a trace of my aura so she could sense it; otherwise, this foolish rabbit demon certainly wouldn't have listened to you."
Izumi Takumi suddenly realized why Kiyotsuki Anrin's tone was filled with awe.
Sigh, Bruce really has to show off.
He clearly wasn't trying to outdo others of his age.
Izumi Takumi also recognized the uniform that Kiyotsuki Anrin was wearing.
It's the uniform of a girls' school near their school, I think it's called St. Lily Girls' Academy.
I heard the school rules are quite strict, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Perhaps feeling bad for keeping Izumi Takumi waiting too long, Kiyotsuki Anrin devoured a crepe in five bites.
Taking out a tissue to wipe her mouth, Qingyue Xingling sat up straight and said, "Senior, I'm finished eating."
Qingyue Xingling is now truly obedient. Judging from the aura she just sensed, the man in front of her is at least a high-ranking one.
She was a pitiful mid-level demon.
"I should have been nicer. What if this senior kidnapped me and made me his sex slave...? I heard that Onmyoji in the Onmyodo especially hate yokai. Does this senior like BDSM?"
Thinking of this, Qingyue Xingling immediately had a vivid image in her mind.
Izumi Takumi, holding a leather whip, stared at her with disdain, while she was forced to wear a bunny girl outfit and bound by red ropes like in some comics.
Izumi Takumi approached her step by step, spewing all sorts of trash talk to humiliate her...
Qingyue Xingling couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, feeling a surge of heat in her lower abdomen.
Izumi Takumi, who was taking talismans out of his bag, did not notice this scene.
He counted them and, after confirming there were one hundred, planned to hand the bag to Qingyue Xingling.
"Are you... alright?"
As soon as he turned his head, Izumi Takumi saw Kiyotsuki Anrin with her head down, rubbing her legs together.
"Ah...ah! Senior, I'm sorry! I, I was thinking about something!"
Coming to her senses, Qingyue Xingling quickly reached out and shook her hand, then coughed twice to change the subject: "Ahem, senior, where's the spirit-gathering talisman I wanted to buy?"
"It's all here, you can check it yourself."
Qingyue Xingling nodded, straightened her expression, and began to carefully examine the quality of this batch of spirit-gathering talismans.
After all, she spent money to buy it, and she's not a spendthrift, so she'll definitely inspect the goods carefully.
But as the stack of paper talismans was counted, Qingyue Xingling's feelings became more and more complicated.
"These one hundred Spirit Gathering Talismans are all of superior quality!"
Her original expectation was that she would be grateful if fifty of the hundred talismans were of medium quality.
It doesn't matter if there are a few inferior ones, as long as most of them are at least inferior.
But now, all one hundred of these talismans are of the highest quality!
They are demons who cannot make talismans, so it is very difficult for them to obtain talismans to aid their cultivation.
With these high-quality spirit-gathering talismans, Qingyue Xingling was confident that she could break through to the upper-middle level.
"This senior wouldn't really want to capture me and make me his sex slave, would he? These hundred high-grade talismans are just bait..."
I heard you muttering!
Izumi Takumi was genuinely curious about what was going on in Kiyotsuki Anrin's head.
To avoid embarrassment for both parties, Izumi Takumi pretended not to hear and asked, "How's the quality?"
"Satisfied! I'm very satisfied!" Qingyue Xingling nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
She was still worried that Izumi Takumi was just teasing her, that he would say he wouldn't sell her to anyone else, and that if she really wanted him, she should offer herself up...
"If you're satisfied, then I'm leaving."
The short time they spent together left Izumi Takumi feeling incredibly exhausted.
All he wanted to do now was leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, lest Qingyue Xingling cause any more trouble later.
After waving goodbye, Izumi Takumi quickly left.
This rabbit demon is too lovable.
Kiyotsuki Anrin opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she silently watched Izumi Takumi leave.
Just like that? Without imprisoning himself, without enslaving himself?
"Yuri also said that Onmyoji are all dangerous, but this senior is quite good."
Feeling pleased with herself, Qingyue Xingling touched the spirit-gathering talisman in her bag, took out her phone, and immediately started typing away.
[Qingyue Xingling: Yuri, aren't the Onmyoji in the Onmyodo quite nice?]
[Yukimura Yuri: ?]
[Yukimura Yuri: Did you encounter an Onmyoji from the Onmyodo (Yin-Yang Bureau)? Where are you now? Are you injured?]
[Qingyue Xingling: Is that the person you introduced? Isn't he an Onmyoji from the Onmyodo?]
Yukimura Yuri, on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message.
[Yukimura Yuri: No, his name is Izumi Takumi. He's an Onmyoji employed by the Yukimura family, and currently takes orders from me.]
[Kiyotsuki Anrin: Yuri, you've become so powerful! You can even hire a high-ranking Onmyoji to help you! You must have paid a heavy price.]
What high-ranking Onmyoji? Wasn't Izumi Takumi a low-ranking Onmyoji? How did he break through to high-ranking?
Incredulous, Yukimura Yuri quickly pressed for more information.
[Yukimura Yuri: Tell me everything that happened after you met today.]
[Qingyue Xingling: What's wrong? Afraid I'll steal your Onmyoji? Hehe~]
[Yukimura Yuri: You'd better not run into me at the Yokai Tournament.]
[Qingyue Xingling: I was wrong! I was wrong! I'll tell you right now!!!]
After hearing the whole story, Yukimura Yuri roughly understood what had happened.
It must be his shikigami causing trouble, lending its own aura to Izumi Takumi.
Rubbing her temples, Yukimura Yuri typed out an explanation.
[Kiyotsuki Anrin: What?! He's a lower-ranking Onmyoji!]
Qingyue Xingling, who was still sitting on the bench, was dumbfounded.
So you were scared out of your wits by a low-ranking Onmyoji?
This is so embarrassing!
"Yuri probably doesn't know that I was scared by Izumi Takumi..."
Hoping for a stroke of luck, she looked at the new message sent by Yukimura Yuri.
[Yukimura Yuri: Knowing your personality, you must have been terrified. Here are twenty spirit-gathering talismans. I'll keep it a secret.]
[Qingyue Xingling: Isn't he your family's Onmyoji? Let him draw a talisman for you!]
[Yukimura Yuri: I feel sorry for him, I want him to rest.]
[Yukimura Yuri: Are you going to give it to me or not?]
[Qingyue Xingling: Waaaaah, I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you, okay?!]
Qingyue Xingling wanted to cry but had no tears left. She regretted not speaking up.
……
That evening, while watching YouTube with Kotoko Morishita, Takumi Izumi received a message from Anrin Kiyotsuki.
[Qingyue Xingling: Liar! Big liar!]
[Izumi Takumi: ?]
[Qingyue Xingling: You're clearly only fit for the subordinate position, why are you pretending to be the superior one!]
[Izumi Takumi: I never said I was promoted, you were the one who called me senpai.]
[Qingyue Xingling: Then what the hell is that terrifying aura emanating from you?!]
Yukimura Yuri did not tell Kiyotsuki Anrin about Izumi Takumi's shikigami.
She believed this was Izumi Takumi's trump card, so she didn't reveal it to him without his knowledge.
[Izumi Takumi: Secret. 】
[Qingyue Xingling: Tch, fine, I won't say then.]
After waiting for a while, Izumi Takumi realized there was no further movement from the other side. Just as he was about to exit the interface, another message arrived.
[Qingyue Xingling: Can I ask you for help in the future...?]
[Qingyue Xingling: The payment is negotiable!]
It took them so long to send another message.
This must be a message she must have hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to send, right?
Izumi Takumi couldn't help but smile.
[Izumi Takumi: Sure.]
[Qingyue Xingling: Hehe!]
[Qingyue Xingling’s favorability +10]
