Chapter 24 15(2/2)
Something's not quite right.
"You must not sneak out." Tomioka Yoshiyuki emphasized.
"I will never sneak out!" Rai promised.
Tomioka Yoshiyuki left the house doubtfully.
After having dinner and taking a shower, he returned to his guest room, and looked at each other with the old woman who had two sheets spread inside.
"As I get older, this place will be more lively when guests come. Little girl, would you like to chat with me before going to bed?"
The old woman fully displayed the mentality of a lonely old man and showed Ley a kind smile that she couldn't refuse.
Rai:...Are you waiting for me here?
It seems that Tomioka Giyuu is not stupid in all aspects. There are always things that he should be wary of. He is worthy of being a pillar.
After chatting with the old lady who was in charge of all the affairs of the Wisteria House for a while, Rai slowly closed her eyes. The even breathing of the girl beside her sounded, and the old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she herself
Entered into dreamland.
After realizing that the old woman had fallen asleep, Rai opened his eyes and stood up - to be precise, the transparent spirit body separated from his body got up.
This is the reward from the previous mission - the art of controlling spirits.
After receiving this reward, Rai carefully explored this skill and found that this skill is actually divided into levels. There are 10 levels in total from lv1 to lv10. Each time you upgrade to a level, you can learn one more ability. What is more deceptive is this.
Skills can neither
You rely on self-training and cannot use points or gold to upgrade. The only way is to upgrade by appearing in the rewards issued by the system after completing the specified tasks. It is like a limited SSR that can only be drawn by trying your luck in the card drawing pool.
A slim chance.
In this mission, the Spirit Control Technique obtained was the lowest level 1. Rai chose the [Separation] technique among several basic techniques to choose from.
[lv1 Spirit Separation Technique]: You can separate your own spirit body from your body. When separated, the body will fall into a deep sleep. The spirit body can move on its own like a ghost and will not be seen by people in the world, and will cause attacks.
It can cause damage to the same things in the other world, but the attacks it sends out have no impact on the present world.
In other words, using this technique, Rai can not be seen by humans, and can also exorcise the cursed spirit. Using the spirit body to exorcise the cursed spirit will not harm any plants or trees no matter how loud the movement is.
It can not only throw out the illusion that she is sleeping to confuse others, but also improve efficiency to exorcise more evil spirits. It is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.
The first ability is so easy to use, and it goes without saying about the more advanced abilities. Rai can’t wait to complete more tasks, but before that——
Rai mentioned the ghost sword and smiled like an evil ghost at the filthy thing living in the dark corner.
All the cursed spirits in this village belong to me!
——
Poverty, disease, danger...these plights plague people in this era. Because the economic system that is close to the people has not yet developed, the problem of food and clothing has always troubled many families. The backward medical skills have made it impossible to solve many difficult and complicated cases. In the future,
Universal education has also reduced the number of doctors who need to study hard. Basically, as long as a serious illness occurs, a family that is already crumbling in the wind will immediately collapse. In addition, human beings compete with each other, indifference, and concealment.
Unknown dangers in the shadows...
In this society that has just begun the industrial age, although there are many people who enjoy hardships, most of the people at the bottom who do not have basic security still live in pain and depression. The curses that breed in such an environment are also all kinds of ugly.
Rai, who had almost wiped out all the cursed spirits in the village after being beaten by them all night, was in pain and happiness at the same time.
I feel like I will be able to watch horror movies in the future without changing my expression. These cursed spirits are really, yue...
——
During the morning meal, looking at Rai with a displeased expression on the radish and salmon in front of him, Tomioka seemed to have misunderstood that his favorite food did not seem to be popular with girls. The fatigue from a night of patrolling was not as severe as the shock at this moment.
"...Doesn't it taste good?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki cautiously asked.
"No, I just don't have much appetite."
The purple blood splashed by the curse spirit was dirty and smelly. Rai's soul was separated from her body and could not touch real objects in the world. However, her sense of smell was still there. However, after smelling those irritating smells for a night, her sense of smell was indeed almost gone.
It also affected her sense of taste. At this moment, smelling the fishy smell of cooked fish pieces, she just wanted to vomit.
"Didn't you sleep well?"
Tomioka Giyu, who returned to the Wisteria House close to dawn, passed by Rai's bedroom and peeked through the crack of the door. Rai was sleeping soundly.
"It's probably a nightmare. I often couldn't sleep well before. It will probably happen again in the future. It's not a big deal."
Rai said this because he was worried that if the evil spirits appeared again the next morning with a disheveled look on their face, it would be bad to be questioned by the other party, so it was better to give her the character of an insomniac girl.
.
Didn't sleep well, had nightmares...
Tomioka Yoshiyuki frowned. It seemed that many things were not as they seemed. "Wait a minute, do you want to sleep with me?"
Tomioka Giyuu's original intention was that if Rai didn't sleep well, it would be better to stay in the same room with him, who had not rested for a day, and sleep in a separate bed. He thought, with him here, Rai would be able to sleep.
Any trace of a nightmare can wake him up. Although I don't know if it is useful, if he had a nightmare when he was a child, as long as his sister was with him, he would fall asleep quickly.
Tomioka Giyuu undoubtedly has good intentions, but many times it is easy for listeners to misinterpret the meaning when summed up in a simple sentence.
Just like now, as soon as Tomioka Giyuu's words came out, the old man carrying miso soup walked in and couldn't help shaking his hands, and the soup spilled all over the floor, but the old man didn't care about this situation at all, and just used a very shocked and unbelievable expression.
His eyes looked at Tomioka Giyu.
Sleeping together? Is that what she understood? It turns out that Shuizhu is a scumbag who bullies little girls!
The old man looked at Tomioka Giyu with eyes full of condemnation and disappointment.
Rai felt that if he didn't come forward to clarify, Tomioka Giyu's innocence would be ruined. "Are you afraid that I will have nightmares and want to accompany me? Thank you for caring about me, Mr. Tomioka, but no, I'll wait for you later."
I want to see some sick children and see how I can help them. My mother-in-law will take me there, and I will be back before dark. Mr. Tomioka, please take a rest during this time."
Some of the more difficult second-level curse spirits in the middle of the night also come from those families. If the source is not stopped, new curse spirits will appear soon.
"I'll go too."
Tomioka Giyu will not let Rai go out alone, not even during the day. "I have killed the ghosts in this village. I will accompany you later. We can sleep together tonight."
Going without sleep for several days has become a common occurrence for Tomioka Giyu. Tomioka, who was a little sleepy at first, immediately became energetic again after hearing what Rai was going to do later. He can still fight again!
Rai:...I know you can do it. It would be better if you didn't say that last sentence.
The old man who thought he had misunderstood was once again shocked by Tomioka Yoshiyu's arrogant words. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?!
Sister Tomioka huddled in the corner growing mushrooms as if giving up. Her brother was really hopeless...
After watching Rai and Tomioka Giyu go out, the old man angrily wrote a letter to be sent to the Demon Slayer Corps in his study.
Dear owner:
The old man has received Miss Ley here. She is really a kind and lovely little girl as the head of the family said. During the day, she will sympathize with the suffering of the patients and do whatever she can to help them. At night, she will obediently
Staying in the wisteria flower house not only prevents people from feeling embarrassed, but also takes into account the old man's frail body and helps him with housework. She reminds him of his granddaughter who died in a few days of birth, and he likes her very much.
However, Mr. Shui Zhu, who came with Miss Ley to protect her, the old man suspected that he had an affair with Miss Ley, who was still just a child. This made the old man have to be vigilant and begged the head of the family to think twice and find someone else to protect Miss Ley.
of safety.
…
Looking at the letter sent by Niu Ya, Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya took a deep breath. Naturally, he would not believe that Tomioka Giyuu had any dirty thoughts towards Rai, but the stewards of Wisteria Hanaya were loyal and trustworthy.
For the Demon Slayer Corps, it is absolutely impossible to create lies out of thin air that are detrimental to the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Then there is only one possibility - it is probably Tomioka Giyu's miraculous communication skills that caused the other party to misunderstand him.
The head of the Ubuyashiki family, who saw the truth at a glance, sighed sadly, Giyuu, what on earth are you doing? Giyuu...
We can't let Shinobu and Anjuro know about this.
Chapter completed!
