Chapter 498 It Shouldn't Be That Simple
"Mr. Aize! Are you okay?"
In the room early in the morning, Asatake Yoshino got up from the bed and looked at Aize nervously, asking questions repeatedly.
"How is your injury? Does it still hurt? Do you want to ask Dr. Mizuba to come and take a look at you?"
It seems that although Yoshino Asatake accidentally fell asleep, she did not forget why she came to this room.
"…It's okay, don't worry."
Aize still had a numb look on his face, and felt vaguely unnatural. He didn't even dare to look at Takeno Yoshino's worried face.
Unfortunately, Asatake Yoshino's observation skills were not that sharp. Seeing Aize hesitating, she just thought that he was lying on purpose in order not to worry others.
"Please don't be so stubborn. After all, the wound was caused by the evil spirit!" Asatake Yoshino said seriously, "Let me see the condition of the wound!"
As she spoke, Chao Wu Fang Nai reached out her hand and prepared to pull Aize's clothes.
"Wait! I can do it myself!"
Aize didn't dare let this woman touch him casually, so he quickly stopped her.
After a while, Aize took off his shirt and exposed his back in front of Asatake Yoshino.
Asatake Yoshino, who used to blush and feel shy when she saw Aize shirtless, was not shy at all at this moment and carefully examined Aize's wound.
The two wounds on Aize's back were still as hideous as ever, making Asatake Yoshino feel more and more guilty and self-blaming the more she looked at them.
She is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on until now under the threat of curses and evil spirits. Now that someone has been seriously injured because of her, it is impossible for Asatake Yoshino not to feel ashamed and self-blame.
"The injury doesn't seem to be getting better..."
Asatake Yoshino said these words with some discomfort.
"After all, it's only been one night. How could it get better so quickly?" Aize was not surprised. Instead, he comforted her, "I feel much better. It's not as painful as last night."
Although he slept soundly last night, he still felt phantom pain in his half-awake state. Now it is much better, with only some tingling sensation.
"Is this really okay?"
Asatake Yoshino was still a little worried and even wanted to reach out and touch Aize's wound.
"Don't!" Aize subconsciously avoided Chaowu Fangnai's hand and smiled awkwardly: "My body is still stained with filth, you'd better not touch my wound."
Upon hearing this, Chao Wu Fangnai immediately withdrew his hand in disappointment.
She didn't want to grow animal ears in front of Aize.
At this time, Asatake Yoshino didn't know that her animal ears had already been seen by Aize once.
"Then, let me help you apply the medicine."
Asatake Yoshino decided to do something to help Aize, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.
"No, really."
Aize didn't want to do that to Wu Fangno.
There was no way. He felt guilty and had an indescribable sense of guilt when he saw Asatake Yoshino's face.
This is the noble and sacred priestess in Suori's heart. What on earth did she ask such a devout priestess to do?
But this isn't my fault, right?
In short, Aize is now a little afraid to stay alone with Asatake Yoshino in a room, so he hopes that Asatake Yoshino can leave quickly.
Unfortunately, Asatake Yoshino did not understand Aize's intentions.
"Please let me do it. This is my responsibility."
"No, no, no, I can do it myself. You really don't need to go through so much trouble."
"Mr. Aize, you can't reach your back by yourself, right? You definitely need someone to help you apply the medicine!"
"Wouldn't it be fine if Cong Yu came?"
"Lord Cong Yu can't touch anything in reality!"
"Then just let Mr. An Qing come!"
"Father still needs to go to the shrine to work."
"Then let Hitachi..."
"No! I have to do it!"
"Really, no need!"
"use!"
"Need not!"
"use!"
“No need!”
The two of them started arguing in the room for no apparent reason.
"...You two, what are you doing?"
Hitachi Mako appeared at the door at some point, looking at Aize and Asatake Yoshino who were arguing with her eyes half-closed.
"Although we don't have any neighbors nearby and won't disturb others, it's not yet completely daylight. I hope you two won't quarrel at this time."
Hitachi Mako began to preach.
"……Excuse me."
“S-Sorry…”
Aize and Asatake Yoshino bowed their heads and apologized at the same time.
In the end, it was Hitachi Mako who helped Aize apply the medicine, and Asatake Yoshino could only watch helplessly from the side.
She was eager to take over the job, but what Aize didn't expect was that Asatake Yoshino's hands were actually a bit clumsy and she had no experience in applying medicine to people.
She is the shrine maiden of Hoori, and she has never had to do housework. The daily housework is basically done by Hitachi Mako, and the miscellaneous chores are also taken care of by Asatake Yasuharu, so apart from dancing the offering dance and doing some needlework, she doesn't know anything else.
It's just that little bit of needlework, which was learned because I was often injured when fighting evil spirits in the past, and my clothes were often torn. I learned it in order to mend the torn clothes.
As for washing clothes and cooking, Asatake Yoshino knew nothing about them.
Although applying medicine to wounds is not hard or technical work, compared with Hitachi Masakura, Asatake Yoshino is definitely much clumsier.
Therefore, the one who finally applied the medicine to Aize was Hitachi Mako, which made Asatake Yoshino look a little depressed.
"... Lady Yoshino." Perhaps Hitachi Mako couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she smiled helplessly and said to Asatake Yoshino: "Let me teach you how to apply the medicine."
"Yeah!" Asatake Yoshino was immediately coaxed.
Aize took Cong Yuwan and fled out of the room, leaving that place of trouble.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Master."
At this time, Cong Yu appeared out of nowhere.
"Mizuha has already said that the master cannot do any exercise this week."
Cong Yu thought that Aize got up so early because he was preparing to do morning exercises again.
"I know." Aize naturally had no intention of disobeying the doctor's advice. He nodded and looked at Cong Yu, saying, "From the looks of you, you should have recovered, right?"
"Hmm!" Cong Yu nodded vigorously, looking very energetic, and said, "I have fully recovered, Master, don't worry about it!"
Seeing that the fatigue in her eyes had completely disappeared, Aize believed that she was not lying.
"That's perfect." Aize smiled at Cong Yu and said, "Come and help me test some things."
While saying this, Aize had already left the Chaowu family and came to the open space outside the Kenji Shrine.
"What is the master going to test?"
When Cong Yu saw Aize bringing Cong Yuwan, he knew that what he wanted to test might be unusual.
This is also true.
"I used Cong Yu Wan in a battle yesterday, and it gave me some ideas." Aize said to Cong Yu, "I want to try and see if I can develop something else."
According to Cong Yu, although Cong Yu Wan is a magic sword, it is not a magical weapon.
It is not sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, nor is it durable enough to withstand any attack. It only has the mysteriousness to deal with things that do not exist in the world.
If you use Cong Yu Wan to chop down a tree, it will definitely not be better than an axe.
If you use Cong Yu Wan to chop stones, it will most likely be bounced back.
What's worse, if it is used too roughly, the Cong Yu Pill will be broken, but Cong Yu can use his divine power to restore it to its original state.
In other words, in terms of sharpness and durability, Cong Yu Wan is no different from ordinary swords, and is even inferior to some famous swords.
The real special thing about Cong Yuwan is that when he exerts his divine power, he can kill spirits and cut off things that do not exist in this world.
Things like evil spirits formed by filth, vengeful spirits formed by demons and monsters, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters, etc., these things that should not exist in the world are the targets of Cong Yuwan's power.
In other words, Cong Yuwan is a divine sword that can restrain evil spirits and is a weapon for special attacks against spirits.
It has no other special abilities, so when Aize uses it, he still needs to rush towards the enemy and swing the knife to hit the opponent. The fighting method is no different from when he holds the Van Iron.
This gave Aize a feeling.
"Even though he possesses divine power, Cong Yuwan isn't as powerful as I thought."
Aize's true feelings made Cong Yu instantly dissatisfied.
"That's not true! Cong Yuwan is very powerful!" Cong Yu said angrily, "If it weren't for Cong Yuwan, even if the master was very strong, he wouldn't be able to deal with the evil spirit!"
"I didn't deny that." Aize laughed and said, "When dealing with the evil god, Cong Yuwan's power was indeed extraordinary."
At least, if it were Yoshino Asatake's Hokorin, she would definitely not be able to destroy the evil god so easily.
Cong Yuwan is different. As long as he hits the target, he can easily cut open the flesh of the evil god and purify the filth on it.
The same goes for the tentacles. Soumamaru can cut them off with a simple chop, but Asatake Yoshino's Hokorin would definitely not be able to do the same.
This is certainly due to Aize's extraordinary knife skills, but Cong Yuwan's own lethality to spirits cannot be ignored. The combination of the two is why Aize was able to easily kill the evil spirit in seconds.
"But just letting the divine power reside in Cong Yu Wan and then using Cong Yu Wan to chop people, this fighting method or the way to apply divine power is too crude."
Aize's eyes flickered slightly, and he said these words following his inner thoughts, or rather his instinctive feeling when using the magic sword.
"I always feel that divine power shouldn't be such a simple thing."
"After all, it is the power of God. It should not be used only by being placed on a knife."
“There should be more ways to use it and apply it.”
At least, Aize felt this way.
"Yeah?"
Cong Yu was stunned when he heard this.
"Let's give it a try." Aize looked at Cong Yu and said with a smile, "What if it works?"
Having said this, Aize slowly pulled out Cong Yuwan.
