Chapter 90: The 90th Day at Max Level
Chapter 90
"When will Kanako-san come back? Do you need to adjust to the jet lag when flying back to your country?" The natural-looking Haibara Yu raised a question full of loopholes.
After hearing this, Mimiko and Nanako tilted their heads, their faces full of question marks.
"Do I... look like I just came back from abroad?" Kanako answered with a confused look on her face.
"Eh, isn't that so?" Huiyuan Yu said, "Before graduation, I heard a lot of seniors gathered together and chatted, and they all said that Kanako-san went to study abroad!"
Huiyuan Xiong said with reason, "That's what Senior Jiujiu Yuki said. She returns to the country every six months to pass on the news. She also said that you will be graduating from the 'Sea King Studies' major soon!"
Haibara Yu gave a thumbs-up, and all he needed to imitate Mike's famous pose was to show off his shiny teeth: "As expected of Kanako-san!"
Nanako and Mimiko both wore helpless expressions. "Ah, only someone as thick-skinned as Haibara would believe such a thing."
"No, it's better to say... she will easily believe everything her companions say, and won't doubt it even if it's false information released to the public. That's exactly what Haibara-san does." The system sighed.
Huiyuan Xiong stared at the system: "Will cursed spirits also age over time?"
At this point, the system proudly pinched the two whiskers on its ghost shell and said, "That's right! Finally, someone noticed this!"
Huiyuan Xiong praised sincerely: "So cool!"
Kanako: “It’s what stuck there.”
System: "...Don't expose me so early!!"
At this moment, Nanako's thoughts were a little bad. She buried her head in Kanako's arms: "Lady Kanako!"
Kanako rubbed her brown hair and said, "I just picked up the clothes from the shore. I haven't washed them yet."
Nanako, who was feeling frustrated, didn't care at all and hugged him even tighter: "We and Master Geto miss you so much!"
"Me too. It's been years since we last met, and I've been missing you all." Kanako said, stunned for a moment.
Wait, I almost forgot to ask the time.
She was like a primitive person who had just returned to society. When she felt her pockets, she found neither money nor a cell phone.
"What year is it now?"
Mimiko turned on her phone and read the exact time: "September 3, 2018, 5:21:56 PM."
Huiyuan Yu calculated carefully: "Kanako-san's birthday is in May, 1997, which means this year she is already 21 years old!"
"Time flies! Kanako is no longer old enough to drink!" exclaimed Haibara Yu.
Kanako immediately retorted, "Not 21."
She crossed her arms and tapped her fingers rhythmically, as if she was doing mental arithmetic with her eyes closed.
After the three of them stared at her for a long time, she finally opened her eyes and said, "Well, that's it. I'm 18."
"Next year I'll be 18 too," Kanako announced. "After I turn 18, every year will be my 18th birthday. Do you understand?"
Nanako, who loves browsing the internet, agrees with this statement: "Yes, that's what people often say, 'Every kawaii girl is forever 18 years old'!"
The system's gaze shifted back and forth between everyone, and it seemed to want to speak but hesitated many times, and finally chose to remain silent.
"Kanako-sama... Onee-sama." Mimiko went to hold Kanako's hand, "Let's go see Getabu-sama together."
Huiyuan Xiong suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit and raised his hand to indicate, "Count me in! I also brought a gift for Senior Getsu!"
Entering the room, Kanako closed her red umbrella.
Pulling off the hood of her coat, Kanako used her fingers to slightly straighten her waist-length white hair, and then she heard most of the noises around her disappear.
In the hall, people who were not busy looked at her one after another.
The whole room seemed to stand still for a few seconds. Soon, Mimiko and Nanako were the first to react, excitedly introducing the person to the cult members: "Who do you think is standing in front of you? She is the strongest and most amazing sister in the Banking Cult, and even in the world!"
Kanako was used to this kind of scene. She was not panicked at all and calmly asked the system to call up the attribute panel.
The "Catch a dog every ten steps, no one is serious within a thousand miles" ability in the [Passive Skill] column flashed a dazzling red light.
This is still the affinity with the masses without the blessing of [Active Skills] (no, that may not be called affinity). Kanako thought for a moment and tactically took a half step back.
Kanako: "Emergency retreat."
[No, wait!] The system rushed forward to explain, [We are definitely not some Ma-Su literature! ...Okay, we are, but at least we are not the overly old-fashioned kind!]
System: [Look at this one—"Passive skills are related to your own experience and are more likely to manifest in certain groups."]
[The impact is greatest the first time you see it; the effect diminishes with each viewing. PS: This skill is ineffective against sorcerers.]
"Lady Kanako...?" An old man's voice echoed from the crowd in the hall. "Is this Lady Kanako? Really... are you back?"
He walked tremblingly with a cane, and suddenly, as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened, he threw away the cane and ran all the way to Kanako.
"Oh my God, a medical miracle!" Huihara Yu was shocked.
"You may not remember me... but I was fortunate enough to be a spectator at that epic battle over a decade ago," the old man said excitedly. "Aside from the Master, the person we respect most is you!"
"The goddess of Panxing Sect!"
Kanako: "...?"
[Passive skill panel updated: "Panxing Cult Goddess."]
System: What the hell!? I almost forgot about this. Even this happened!
It is never in vain to focus on a life experience.
"Ahem, we've even rehearsed a cheering phrase for you." The old man cleared his throat.
Then he followed the crowd behind him and shouted in unison: "Kanako's God is the God of Gods!"
The system was stunned. "Wait a minute, my CPU is about to explode... cheering words? Is it what I think it means? Isn't this a church?"
"Don't worry about these details." Nanako used Kanako's famous words from her childhood, "As long as your values are normal and you don't violate any laws or regulations, Master Getu will be tolerant and accept all ideas!"
The system was speechless and turned around to try to find recognition from Kanako.
Kanako nodded slightly. "It's quite good. But when you say the last word 'Kami', you can finish it more evenly."
People: “Okay! We’ll improve it!”
System: "I'm not asking you what you think about this!!"
Kanako lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then squatted down to keep her gaze level: "I know your name, your name is Shibaya Yuhiko."
"You're in good health. Twelve years ago, my friend Jiang Chucha and I played a game. We agreed that from that day on, we'd both walk with crutches. Whoever gave up first would lose."
"You both held fast to your agreement, neither of you conceding a defeat, until not long ago, when Jiang Cucha passed away due to a sudden illness."
Shibaya Yuhiko burst into tears instantly: "Yes... absolutely right, Kanako-sama."
Active Skill: Eye of Insight, great achievement.
Beside them, Mimiko and Nanako waited quietly.
Kanako realized it was time for her to leave, and before she left, she said, "Unfortunately, you lost this game. Jiangcucha is very happy to have won."
"The time for reviewing the game can be extended indefinitely. Just find the next game in your life."
She turned and left.
The system was stunned.
The twins walked in front, leading the way into the deeper rooms.
From the outside, the wooden doors of the internal passages are opened with a password or key, adding a sense of modern technology.
In fact, after passing the password door, there is a simple screening barrier composed of spell power to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Geto Suguru was meeting with the client alone, but since it was not a very important matter, with the client's consent, the group pushed the door open and entered directly through the side door.
"Master Getabu!" "Long time no see, Getabu-san!"
The passionate three people made Kanako feel a little itchy in her chest. After seeing the "guardian parents" she hadn't seen for a long time, the emotion from the heart prompted her to speak: "Hey, Xiaojie."
The locator must have seen it a long time ago. She has been back for several days.
Geto Xia Yu glanced at her, was stunned for three seconds, and then raised a knowing and emotional smile.
Then he stood up and said to the people in the room, "They have the same talent as you. Would you mind letting them know about your situation, Yoshino-san?"
Kanako's eyes moved slightly and she looked up.
The system immediately sounded a notification: [Name: Yoshino Junpei, Gender: Male, Age: 17, Note: Shikigami "Yozuki" (Soul restricted and not awakened), potential unknown, currently an ordinary person.]
Yoshino Junpei didn't know where to look. He was too embarrassed to refuse, and said with a wandering gaze, "No... I don't mind."
Hiss, this sense of déjà vu.
This reminded Kanako of the time when she mistook Megumi Fushiguro for Yuta Otsutsukota during his troubled days.
However, the criteria for judgment this time are slightly different.
Geto Suguru said succinctly, "Yoshino-san is an ordinary person, but he's very sensitive to curses. Since last month, he's been able to see cursed spirits with his naked eyes."
"He had no way of judging his own condition, so he found the Banking Sect based on the propaganda." Geto Suguru looked at Kanako, "I had the real one take a look, and he said he has talent, but just needs 'surgery'."
Yoshino-san was so frightened that his entire body trembled, obviously misunderstanding the meaning: "Surgery? Is it that serious!?"
"Yoshino, can I ask you a question?" Kanako asked.
Junpei Yoshino stole a glance at other people's expressions and could tell from their reactions that Kanako was unusual.
His tone unconsciously became respectful: "Excuse me... Please go ahead."
Kanako: "Lower your eyes first... Yes, that's the gesture, keep it. By the way, are you usually bullied at school?"
Yoshino Junpei clutched his sleeves: "...Yes."
"My questions are over," Kanako said.
"Did you have a former name called Otsutsuki Yuta?"
System crash: "Don't mistake someone for Yuuta Otsutsuki just because they look alike! Don't make the mistake again!"
Kanako argued: "He is even a black-haired person with low self-esteem, more like Xiaohui..."
Yoshino Junpei who knows nothing:???
"I just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere." Kanako regained some of her mischievous nature.
She sat on the sofa chair next to her and picked up the pillow: "Yoshino, do you want to be a sorcerer?"
Yoshino Junpei came back to his senses, clenched his fists and whispered, "I want to."
"Real person, come out."
The three parties with a system binding relationship can grasp each other's movements anytime and anywhere.
So from the very beginning, Kanako and Geto Suguru knew that the real person was hiding in a corner of this room.
The real person who suddenly appeared from under the carpet successfully scared Yoshino Junpei, making him freeze in place and dare not move.
"Kanako, listen to me! I've learned a new trick. It's to suppress the urge in my heart to run towards you. In human terms, it's called playing hard to get!" Mami proudly showed off.
"The wording is very precise and fresh. Long time no see, Zhenren, you always bring me unexpected surprises."
"Keep working hard next time. I'm looking forward to having you every day in the future." Kanako said calmly.
Real person:!!! (so happy that he loses his shape)
Yoshino Junpei: "...?"
This short sentence seems perfunctory but it covers all the content and even adds a vision for the future.
What's even more terrifying is Kanako's ability to speak without much thought... Geto Suguru can guarantee that she has been like this since she was a child, and her words are completely sincere and there is no lie at all.
The others were used to hearing it, but Yoshino Junpei didn't think so. For a few seconds, he felt that he had walked into the wrong set and shouldn't be here.
Kanako: "One last time, do you want to become a sorcerer no matter what?"
Yoshino Junpei said affirmatively: "I do! Even if it means I have to undergo a craniotomy, I still want to give it a try!"
Kanako laughed out loud.
"Now I'm also a senior with Apprentice No. 1 and Apprentice No. 2, Yoshino-chan."
"Real person, take action."
【Author’s words】
Otsutsuki: Not appearing is better than appearing
Suddenly I found that Kanako couldn't tell a few black-haired people apart, except for Jie Ge because his eyes... (covering mouth) are very distinctive
