Chapter 116: Hiroki and the Little Sheep & Jiang Lai and Xia Yu...

After finishing the buffet, Yuji Itadori and the others were summoned back to Tokyo Polytechnic in the afternoon. New tasks came one after another, forcing the students to give up their training and rest time.

Haibara Yu followed the students back to the Jujutsu High School, and while taking care of them, he also submitted a report on how to handle the accident.

The little sheep Jiang Lai waved goodbye to them and followed Nanami Kento back to the apartment. Now they were the only two left in the house.

"Are you guys going to have your holiday soon, Watanabe?" Nanami Kento asked while flipping through the calendar.

"Oh? Yes." Little Sheep Jiang Lai replied, "Spring break is from the end of February to the beginning of April."

He was packing his schoolbag. He had been training with everyone after school these days, and hadn't had time to do some of his homework. Fortunately, the teacher hadn't checked homework recently, and Jiang Lai's adult soul was able to quickly make up for the exercises.

"What are your plans for the holidays?" Nanami Kento put down the calendar in his hand.

"Well... do homework, play games, and practice some spells or something." Little Sheep Jiang Lai counted on his fingers and laughed, "Of course, the most important thing is to do some networking part-time to earn some money~ If you are a customer recommended by Nanami, I can give you a 3% discount!"

Nanami Kento: “…”

His expression froze for a second, then he straightened his face and said calmly, "The holiday time of Tokyo Jujutsu High School is different from that of ordinary Japanese schools. When you are on holiday, there are still classes there. I will take you there to learn the spells."

This sudden attack by the cursed spirit sounded a wake-up call for Kento Nanami.

He originally thought of slowly taking care of the brown-haired boy who had just come into contact with the world of spells, and then gradually teaching him spells when he grew to the right age.

However, at present, the overall environment does not allow young people enough time to grow, and crises are lurking everywhere.

Therefore, the training process must be started one step ahead so that the brown-haired boy can master as many self-defense skills as possible.

Nanami Kento thought. Fortunately, Watanabe has good talent, so he should be able to adapt to the learning process of sorcery quickly. In the Jujutsu High School, there are also three people he knows, Fuhuzhi, who will take him with him.

While Nanami Kento was thinking, Jiang Lai was also thinking in his mind.

Going to Tokyo? That sounds like a good idea. We have explored everything that needs to be explored in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, so we will go to Tokyo to continue digging for information.

So, he winked and agreed cheerfully, showing the enthusiasm of a junior high school student for traveling and playing: "Sure! Let's go to Tokyo!"

"It's not entertainment, the essence is to learn." Nanami Kento said bluntly without any intention of glorifying this trip.

Little sheep Jiang Lai: "It's okay, I'm ready to play."

Nanami Kento: “…”

Finally, under Nanami Kento's rational and adult narration, the little sheep expressed his awareness of the importance of learning spells, and after the spring break, he would study diligently - at least that's what he promised verbally.

At night, the little sheep Jiang Lai returned to his room, closed the door, put his schoolbag aside, and began to calculate the date on the calendar on his desk.

There is still a week or two left before the spring break, and during this time I have more free time at Satosa Junior High School in Kanagawa Prefecture than going to Tokyo Technical High School in the future.

After that, I went to Tokyo Jujutsu High School. It was not as easy as it is now to switch between my original bodies and go out freely.

Therefore, I have to find Xia Youjie during this time, Jiang Lai thought.

There is one more problem.

The process of switching to another body to find Geto may take several days of contact with the special curse spirit. Or, even if he finds Geto quickly, he may need time to help solve the other party's problems.

So during this period of time, I won’t be able to come back and change my identity to go to school.

But if I take such a long leave, it will be inconvenient for both the school and Kento Nanami.

Jiang Lai held his phone in his hand, thinking about a solution. If only he could use the Shadow Clone Technique to open two accounts without leaving any flaws...

In the scientific world, dual accounts are usually created when a friend disguises himself as another character.

But in the world of sorcery - I can't ask Junpei to help me disguise myself, right?

Little sheep Jiang Lai put down the calendar, lay back on his soft bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, then turned to lie on his side, picked up his mobile phone, and prepared to look for inspiration on the Internet.

At this moment, a personal upgrade reminder for the game [Me and the Elves and New Route] popped up on the phone notification bar. Jiang Lai subconsciously opened the game and collected all the experience points. Then he suddenly remembered the projection mode of this game -

When fighting monsters in the game, you can activate the projection mode skill to turn the guide into an elf messenger and attract the power of monsters.

My own technique was created by simulating a game. If that's the case, would there be a similar distraction projection mode?

Jiang Lai's heart was pounding. He sat up straight and immediately used his own technique [Electronic Elf] to summon Hongshu Kyubey.

Beautiful circles of light illuminated the room, and a pink and white creature leaped out from midair and landed on the bedding covered with a star-shaped quilt.

He raised his pink eyes and smiled adorably: "Good evening, Weilai. Have you thought of any peripheral designs?"

"Ah, I'm still thinking about that." Jiang Lai replied subconsciously, ruffling his brown curly hair, "I want to wait until most of the elves in the comics have appeared before releasing some related peripherals."

"That's good." Hiroki Kirby shook his pointed ears, "You can get a blind box elf stand. If you collect all the special Weilai cursed spirits, you can exchange them for Watanabe Weilai."

"Then the number of standees of some of the elves is deliberately set to be scarce, but in addition, a certain number of the same standees are provided to exchange for one of the other standees, thereby encouraging people to buy more blind boxes? Even if you draw the same model, it doesn't matter, you can exchange it if you save more."

Jiang Lai's thoughts flowed naturally and he filled in the blanks accordingly.

"Okay, it's decided. I'll give you the dividends when the time comes." Hiroki nodded and said with a smile, "Now that I think about it, it's not easy to redeem the Watanabe Weilai sign."

Little Sheep Jiang Lai coughed and said, "Actually... the money I made was from people promoting NIO and stamp collectors."

The man and the elf clapped their hands to reach an agreement.

Then, Jiang Lai remembered the purpose of summoning Hongshu Qiubi. He moved closer and said, "By the way, Hongshu, as a guide, can you sense the projection mode option?"

"Projection options?" Hiroki Kubi tilted his head slightly.

"It's like this, I need to be out for a long time now, but I can't just give up the Little Sheep vest..."

Jiang Lai simply told Hiroki Kirby about the situation that his real body went to find Geto Suguru and the vest needed to be on standby, and explained the little trouble that was bothering him at the moment.

"I see." Hiroki Chubi understood the situation, and his fluffy tail swayed behind him. He said, "So, what you need is someone who can change into your original form when you change back to Jiang Lai's original form, and live a life of going back and forth between school and home?"

"Yes, that's right." Jiang Lai sat up straight, nodded, and gestured, "Just like the disguise in your world."

Hiroki Kyubey thought for a moment and said, "The guide simulates the incarnation of the spirit messenger master. It can only simulate the appearance and the aura of the magic power, but it does not have the real attack power."

"Ah - I know that. It doesn't matter. I have to concentrate on preparing for the exam during this period. I told Nanami that I won't practice spells." The experienced game player Xiao Mianyang Jiang Lai nodded, with bright expectations on his face, "So, is it okay?"

"If you don't use cursed power, I can help." Hiroki Kyubey smiled cutely.

He shook his fluffy body and jumped onto the floor in front of the desk. Under Jiang Lai's gaze, his face shone and he transformed himself, as if in a mirror, into a brown-haired young man of the same appearance.

At the same time, he was holding a simulated lamb-shaped phone in his hand.

Hongshu turned around and imitated the little sheep Jianglai, making a "yeah" gesture on his head: "Little money, very sweet~!"

His eyes sparkled, full of youthful energy.

Then, Hongshu put down his hand and his smile turned gentle: "How about it, is it okay?"

"Thank you so much, Hongshu!" The little sheep Jiang Lai was so surprised that his eyes were full of stars.

He jumped up from the bed, then remembered something, lowered his eyelids a little embarrassedly and said, "Well, there are a lot of mock exams during this period, so you will have to work hard at school..."

Although when I was a kid I always dreamed of eating, drinking and having fun by myself, and finding a clone to take exams and do homework for me.

But when the time came, I felt really guilty about leaving the exams and homework to my good friend who disguised himself as me to help me.

"It's not hard." Hongshu Qiubi did not show any blame at all. Instead, he smiled and frowned.

He reached out and stroked the exercise book on the desk, his expression gentle and a little nostalgic, "...Actually, I'm quite happy."

When Hongshu was still alive, he was taken away after only a few years of schooling.

During those years in school, I was isolated because I was an extraordinary computer genius and was not understood by my peers.

In fact, Hiroki was eager to make friends and go to school and play happily together. So during the Noah's Ark period, he planned an activity in which children pretended to participate in holographic games.

Jiang Lai was slightly startled when he remembered the past events in the world of science. He paused for a second, then stepped forward and held Hongshu's hand:

"If you want, I will try to find a way for you to actually study here."

Jiang Lai originally wanted to leave the Little Sheep vest to Hongshu, but he felt that this would only restrict the other party, after all, it was his own vest.

Therefore, he changed his thinking and wondered if he could find other ways in the future to allow Hongshu to live in more than just the electronic data of the scientific world.

"I am already very satisfied." Hongshu's eyes sparkled, and he held Jiang Lai's warm hands at this moment, "I was no longer alone a long time ago - I am very happy to have the memory of you as a friend."

"But I don't want you to have only memories." Little Sheep Jiang Lai said with a firm look in his eyes, "In addition to memories, you should also have a broader future."

His words still carried the youthfulness of his body; his voice was not loud, but it resounded with the seriousness that stirred the soul.

Hongshu was startled for a moment, then the corners of his lips lifted up, and finally all his emotions melted into a smile.

He didn't say much, just said, "Okay."

He believes in NIO and the future.

——

Jiang Lai had a brief chat with Hiroki, who was imitating a little sheep, and told him about the school and the situation with Nanami Kento, so that he could cover for her during this period.

Afterwards, after agreeing with Hiroki to contact each other via electronic message if anything happened, he switched back to his original form without hesitation and jumped out of the bedroom window.

Time is running out and he must seize every minute and every second.

Jiang Lai, who switched into the cursed spirit state, landed on the streets of Kawasaki City, following the road they had walked today, looking for traces of the special cursed spirit master.

He thought.

The real person was injured at the time, and he couldn't hide his magic power with all his heart, nor did he have the energy to clean up the debris on the road, let alone walk too far.

In this case, during this journey, I should be able to sense some of the real person's presence, and then find that he is still nearby.

Jiang Lai adjusted his expression and demeanor, his eyelids slightly lowered, and walked on the road like a wandering soul that was dazed, detached, and alert. He was preparing to run into the real person.

However, what surprised Jiang Lai was that before meeting the real person, he actually met Xia Yujie first.
