Chapter 495 Just Want Her to Be Happy
"I don't need it."
At the beginning, Aize intended to use this explanation to evade the question and was not prepared to accept the examination of Mizuha Komagawa.
But perhaps because his resistance was a bit obvious, not only did Asatake Yasuharu and Hitachi Mako oppose it, but Asatake Yoshino and Cong Yu also discovered something.
"Master, you wouldn't..."
Cong Yu's expression suddenly changed, as if he had remembered something important.
"Mozi! Come help!"
Yoshino Asatake suddenly became more assertive and gave instructions to Mako Hitachi.
"Yes! Lady Yoshino!"
Hitachi Mako did not hesitate and stepped forward with Asatake Yoshino, and they controlled Aize on the left and right.
"wait……"
Aize was about to protest when Cong Yu, who was floating behind him, quickly pulled off his shirt.
Everyone's faces changed at this moment.
Because they all saw Aize's back.
"Aijun, you..."
Chaowu Yasuharu's expression suddenly became extremely sad.
“This injury…”
Mitsuha Komagawa's expression immediately became extremely serious. She immediately spread out the entire medical box and took out a large amount of medicines and medical supplies from it.
There was no way. There were two extremely hideous wounds on Aize's back.
The wound did not look like a minor one. The skin and flesh were turned outward, as if it had been hit by a red-hot iron rod. Although there was no bleeding, it was almost festering due to blisters.
When everyone saw the two wounds, it was impossible for them not to remain expressionless, especially Chao Wu Fang Nao and Cong Yu, who knew clearly how the two wounds came about.
There was no doubt that this was the wound left by the evil spirit with half of its body disintegrating and whipping Aize with its tentacles.
"How come I didn't realize it until now?!"
Asatake Yoshino's face, which had regained some color, turned pale again, and only deep guilt and self-blame remained in her eyes.
You know, Aize was unable to free his hands in order to save her, which led to him being whipped twice by the evil spirit, but she forgot about this matter, which was really wrong.
What's more, she didn't even notice the existence of the two wounds until she returned home, which was even more inappropriate.
After all, when the two of them were taking off their clothes and wringing out the water, Aize did take off his shirt and turned his back towards her.
But perhaps it was because of the lack of light, or perhaps it was because Asatake Yoshino did not dare to look at the shirtless body of Aize, she did not notice the existence of the two wounds at all, and forgot the fact that he was attacked by the evil spirit in order to save her.
Thinking of this, the guilt and self-blame on Asatake Yoshino's face became even more intense.
"You, you don't feel any pain, Master Aize!"
Even Hitachi Mako was shocked.
She really couldn't understand how Aize could still look normal despite suffering such serious injuries.
"It's okay." Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Aize could only say, "It was really painful at the beginning, but maybe it was because I was soaking in the water for a long time, so it didn't hurt later."
"That's because your pain nerves have been paralyzed to a certain extent." Komagawa Mitsuha said seriously while applying medicine to Aize: "Not only is there the problem of infection from soaking in water, but there is also the problem of the filth carried by the evil spirit entering the body. This is why you, Lord Aize, have lost your sense of pain."
"Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped and is not continuing to flow out. Otherwise, without the pain sensation and lack of understanding of the injury, it may really be life-threatening."
"You are not taking your injuries seriously enough. Please allow me to do a more in-depth examination."
Having said that, Mitsuha Komagawa started examining Aize's body without getting his consent.
Fortunately, apart from the two hideous wounds on his back, Aize did not have any other injuries.
Although he was not injured, because of two close contacts with the evil spirit, Aize's body was contaminated with some filth. If these filth are not cleaned up, they may affect Aize's physical health and even mental state.
"Then, what should we do? Doctor Mizuha!"
It seemed that Yoshino Asatake was a little confused, so her voice sounded particularly anxious.
"Let's treat the wound first. After that, we need to find a way to purify the filth on Lord Aize's body as much as possible."
Mizuha Komagawa gave her opinions in an orderly manner.
"If you want to purify the filth, then the best and most convenient way is to take a hot spring bath." Cong Yu couldn't help but say, "But can the master's wound still come into contact with water?"
Hearing this, before anyone else could say anything, Aize raised his eyebrows.
"Soaking in hot springs can actually purify filth?"
This is somewhat unexpected.
"Only the hot springs of Hoori have this effect." Hitachi Mako explained, "From the land of Hoori, not only filth was born, but also incredible things like gods and divine swords. Therefore, the land of Hoori also has divine power. The hot springs flowing from this land have the effect of purifying filth."
This is why there are such miraculous rumors about the hot spring in Hoori.
The rumor that it can cure all diseases may be just a rumor to attract tourists, but just like the myth circulating in Suori, the legend of Suori's hot spring is not entirely groundless, there are still some special effects, which led to the birth of the rumor.
"Hoori's hot springs can speed up recovery from injuries. As long as the wounds are treated properly, it shouldn't be impossible to soak in the water." Komagawa Mitsuha said to everyone, "Even if we don't soak in the hot springs, there are other ways to purify the filth. Lady Yoshino's dance of dedication is also a treatment measure."
The dedication dance performed by the shrine maidens of Kenjiro Shrine also has the effect of purifying filth.
However, the Dance of Offering does not purify personal filth, but the filth accumulated on the entire land of Hoori.
Therefore, for the daughters of the Asambu family, the Dance of Offering is a compulsory course, and it is a compulsory course that must be mastered, so that the filth accumulated in the tassels can be suppressed and the generation of evil spirits and curses can be suppressed as much as possible.
Unfortunately, because the target is the entire Hoori, the shrine maiden's dance of dedication cannot completely suppress the filth in Hoori and prevent the curse from occurring at all, so it is necessary to go up the mountain to exorcise the evil spirit every once in a while and purify the accumulated filth directly.
"Well, I will now..."
Yoshino Asatake seemed to be planning to drag Aize to the shrine and perform a dance of dedication for him.
"Wait, Lady Yoshino." Komagawa Mitsuha hurriedly stopped her and said seriously: "I know you mean well, but don't forget, you are the daughter of the Asatake family and you also have a curse on you. Once you come into close contact with the filth on Lady Aize, the curse is likely to erupt."
"This..." Asatake Yoshinori suddenly froze there.
Aize glanced at the top of Asatake Yoshino's head without leaving a trace.
In fact, on the way back, Aize vaguely saw dog-like ears appear on Asatake Yoshino's head several times.
Perhaps it was because he was contaminated with filth that the curse on Yoshino Asatake, who was close to him, began to stir?
In particular, he also performed artificial respiration and CPR on Yoshino Asatake, which was undoubtedly an extremely close contact.
In this case, even if the evil god who is the embodiment of filth has been defeated, the curse on Yoshino Asatake will still appear, causing her to grow animal ears.
"Let's take a hot spring bath." He said to Wu Anqing, frowning, "There is a bathtub with hot spring water in the bathroom at home, which can be used by Ai Jun."
"Then I'll take care of the wound." Komagawa Mitsuha said, "It's better not to let the wound come into contact with water, but since it's already like this, I can only do what I can to reduce the impact."
"I'll go get some water for the bath right away." Hitachi Moko also stood up and said, "There are also some clothes for changing. Please tell me where they are."
"Come with me, Mozi." Cong Yu said immediately, "I will take you to get it."
"Leave Cong Yu Wan to me first." Chao Wu Anqing said to Aize, "Ai Jun, you should focus on healing first, and we can take care of the rest later."
As he spoke, Chaowu Anqing took Cong Yuwan from Aize's hand, and together with Komagawa Mitsuha, they treated Aize's wound and assisted her.
As a result, everyone had something to do except Asatake Yoshino, who was standing there blankly, looking uneasy.
"Father, I..."
Yoshino Asatake seemed to want to take over the work from Yasuharu Asatake and help Mitsuha Komagawa treat the wounds on Aize's body.
She really couldn't just stand there and do nothing, after all, she was the culprit who caused the wound.
"Yoshino, go change your clothes first." Asatake Yasuharu treated Yoshino as a victim of this incident and said gently, "If you keep wearing wet clothes, you will catch a cold."
"But……"
Asatake Yoshino wanted to object.
In response, Chao Wu Anqing just said one sentence.
"If you get sick, there will be one less person to take care of Ai-Jun, and everyone else will have to be distracted to take care of you. Are you willing to see that happen?"
Asatake Yoshinori was suddenly speechless.
After a while, Chaowu Fangnai finally compromised and walked towards the room, looking back every few steps. She could not hide her worry and guilt no matter how hard she tried.
Aize just watched it all quietly, including Asatake Yoshino's performance and everyone's treatment of his injuries. He did not express any opinions, just watched quietly.
After Mitsuha Komagawa had treated the wound and temporarily retreated with the medicine box, Chaowu Anqing spoke to Aize who was sitting there quietly.
"You've really messed up this time, Ai Jun." He sighed at Wu Anqing and said seriously, "Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Mr. Xuan Julang."
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Aize glanced at Wu Anqing and said, "Does my grandfather also know about the evil spirit?"
"I know a little bit." Asatake Yasuharu smiled bitterly, "Mr. Xuanjuro is an elder with great influence in the Hoori. Even I am his descendant and have some relationship with him. The elders and their families who are closely related to the history of Hoori all know some secrets of the Hoori, even if they are not so detailed."
"Really?" Aize said as if talking to himself: "Then the reason why grandpa supports me to stay here is that he wants me to use the Sosame Pill to exorcise the evil spirit, or even lift the curse of the Hoori and Asatake family?"
"No, Mr. Xuanjuro does not intend to force such a heavy burden on you, and I am the same." Chaowu Anqing immediately denied it and said very seriously: "Please listen to me, Ai Jun, we do not intend to hand over the heavy burden that has never been solved by anyone to a young man like you."
"Although you pulled out the Cong Yu Wan, which gave us some expectations and hopes, Mr. Xuan Juro and I both hope that you can continue to live safely in this town."
"This is the only thought we have for you." He lowered his almost invisible eyelids to Takeuchi, and whispered, "If possible, I also hope that Yoshino can grow up safely and live happily, instead of watching her shoulder such a heavy mission."
Chaowu Anqing, who is not a direct descendant of the Chaowu family but married into the family, should be the one who feels the most powerless, right?
As the chief priest of Kenjiro Shrine and the head of the Asatake family, he should know the most about the secrets of Hoori.
But even though he knew everything, he could only watch his daughter carry out the mission of the Asatake family, fight against the evil god, and protect the town of Hoori. How could Asatake Yasuharu, a grown man and a father, let this go?
Just like tonight, if Aize hadn’t taken action, Asatake Yoshino would probably be gone now, right?
This kind of fear existed in Wu Anqing's life every day, forcing him to keep his eyes closed and squinted, trying his best to hide the pain and helplessness in his eyes.
"Then why did you unilaterally ask Miss Chaowu and I to enter into a marriage contract? Why is that...?"
Aize looked at Wu Anqing like this and still asked this question.
"I just want my daughter to have more people around her who can understand her and improve her current situation." He confided his true feelings to Wu Anqing and said to Aize: "Because of the curse, Fang Nai has never liked to get too close to others since she was a child."
"She was afraid of hurting innocent people, and perhaps she had some inferiority complex, thinking that she was cursed and couldn't get too close to others, so the child was all alone all this time."
"Moshiko-kun has always been by her side, but she is only protecting Yoshino as a bodyguard, and it is difficult to improve her condition."
"So, in order to change Fang Nai's interpersonal relationships and this situation, I was a little tougher this time and made Fang Nai and you get engaged."
In a nutshell, for this serious illness, Chao Wu Anqing is already powerless and can only use drastic measures.
The appearance of Aize was like a powerful medicine for Chao Wu Anqing.
