Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Exposing Progress 1/4
Saionji Tamon and Asami Saya, one an athletic pro, the other possessing youkai blood, naturally possessed physical strength far beyond that of ordinary humans. They ran three blocks in one breath, finally coming to a stop after ensuring they had shaken off the persistent detective.
"Saionji-san, why are we running?"
Compared to Yuyin, Qianjian was slightly out of breath. He was puzzled as to why the policeman went back on his word and gave him his name and contact number.
"I agree. It was before the monster attack," Yuyin explained, shaking her head. "Back then, all you needed to do was leave your contact information after witnessing the monster. But after Nunu appeared, because of those three arrows I shot, the officer must have included me in the list of people who needed to give a statement."
Yuyin pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't want my name to appear in the official records of this incident, so we have to run."
Although it is not uncommon for people to have the same name as Saionji in the island country, and neither Saionji nor Tamion are unique surnames or given names, when this name is listed together with words such as unnatural attacks and bows and arrows as weapons in the same official record, it is clearly telling acquaintances that "Saionji Tamion is not dead yet."
She was not so stupid as to be careless enough to leave such a record, so she had to run!
After hearing this explanation, Asami understood Yuyin's feelings very well. For unknown reasons, she had suffered from a strange disease that caused her to turn into scales after going into the water. Even though she loved swimming, she had to cruelly refuse the invitation from the swimming club because she had to hide her secret.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," Yuyin said, holding her hand. "I didn't expect to gain something right after arriving today. I think it was you and that silver-haired boy's aura that attracted the nun. Now that the nun has been eliminated, the curse on you has been lifted. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Although Nunv's attack was very sudden, Asami was protected by Yuyin and was not frightened at all. Upon hearing the good news, he couldn't help but smile and said in gratitude, "This is all thanks to you, Saionji-san..."
Yuyin jokingly said, "Hey, you're still calling me Saionji-san. That's a bit strange. We've been through this together, after all. Just call me Yuyin."
"Saionji-sama..." Asami called out out of habit, but stopped talking when he thought of what Tamane said. He blushed and said, "In that case, Tamane, you can call me Saya too."
The two girls looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Girls' friendship is sometimes so wonderful. The two first learned the same secret, and then experienced the attack of the coastal monster together. Naturally, their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.
"Let's go! Now that the incident has been successfully resolved, let's go to Yokohama Chinatown and have a good meal." Yuyin said excitedly. Since they came to Yokohama, of course they had to go to Chinatown.
Asami covered his mouth and laughed: "I didn't know you were like this before, Yuyin. I thought you hated talking to people."
"Well," Yuyin touched her head and said embarrassedly, "Now you know I have spiritual power. If necessary, I often have to exorcise demons or remove curses. If I'm too well-known in school, it would be bad if I was bumped into by acquaintances while I was doing it."
"Spiritual power, exorcism..." Asami pondered after hearing this.
"Ah," Yuyin explained quickly, "When I say exorcism, I don't mean to eliminate all monsters, Saya, don't misunderstand me. I only target monsters that do evil, like the nun who appeared today."
"No, no, no, how could I misunderstand you, Yuyin?" Saya waved her hands repeatedly, "I was just thinking... Can I learn this spiritual power?"
"this……"
Yuyin frowned in distress. This really touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. Unlike her senior brother, she did not rely on contracting monsters to become a Shikigami and fight. Her understanding of monster training methods was limited. "You are a half-monster. I don't know if half-monsters can cultivate spiritual power, and I am not familiar with monster training methods."
"I see..."
Seeing her downcast expression, Yuyin consoled her, "But I know someone who knows more about this. I'll ask for you."
Alas, her current situation is not good enough for her to go to her senior brother, so she can only go to the cat in Natsume's house. He is a big monster, so he should know something about half-demons.
However, some people cannot stand being called names. Their names are like spells that will take effect once they are called.
But Yuyin didn't expect it to come true so quickly.
She chatted with Saya while walking to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Saya also said that she must treat her to dinner tonight as a way of repaying her for saving her life.
"Ah, it's a butterfly."
At the bus stop, Tamane was checking the route list when she heard Saya's sigh.
She looked up and almost instantly recognized that it was a spirit butterfly transformed from talisman paper.
And the faint spiritual power attached to the Psylocke is damn familiar.
"Yuyin."
Yuyin raised her head and looked across the street. The handsome figure of the young man was so familiar, as if time had gone back and yesterday was reappearing.
"I found you."
*
This scene was extremely beautiful in the eyes of others. After editing and adding some special effects filters, it could even be directly moved into an idol drama as material. At least Saya next to her glanced at Yuyin, then looked at the handsome young man opposite with a curious look in her eyes.
However, Yuyin only had one feeling in her heart——
Oh no, something bad happened, I got caught.
Alas, she sighed silently, what is coming will come.
Perhaps it was because she had hesitated and struggled for too long, so when the day of reunion finally came, after the initial surprise, Yuyin felt calm.
She looked at the young man opposite her and smiled slightly: "Senior Brother."
Dechang Jingsi nodded in response to her call and crossed the nearest zebra crossing.
He carefully examined his junior sister, who seemed to have shrunk several years, and confirmed that she was still a human, not a monster or ghost. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are doing very well. If you had returned as a monster or ghost, I would have to reconsider the terms of the contract we signed."
Yuyin's mouth twitched. "Brother Deba, you should take some classes on the Art of Language to learn how to express yourself correctly, so you don't end up on bad terms with Natsume-kun every time. Also, is it really okay to say something like that to a junior sister you've met after a long absence?"
"I always talk like this. I think you should be used to it, Yuyin."
As he said this, Chang Jingsi walked in front of the two of them, raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were rarely gentle.
"Then let me say it again, welcome back."
Yuyin sighed, "I'm back, Senior Brother."
The atmosphere between the two was so warm that outsiders dared not disturb them. After a long while, Yuyin felt the corner of her clothes being gently tugged, and then she heard Saya whispering, "Yuyin, who is this?"
Yuyin then remembered that Saya was still there. Fortunately, she and her senior brother did not directly talk about topics like world fusion on the street.
She turned to Saya and introduced him, "This is my senior, Deba Shizuji." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Maybe he can answer the question you asked me just now."
Because of their actions, Deba Shizuka's attention shifted to Asami Saya. This glance really made him notice something unusual about her. "I didn't expect to see someone with monster blood here," he turned to Yuyin and asked playfully, "Are you finally going to change your mind and agree to a monster contract?"
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, Yuyin said to herself, you already knew that he spoke without mercy and didn’t know how to be tactful at all.
"Saya is my friend," she emphasized, "and she just has youkai blood, not a youkai. Please don't look at her the same way you look at a shikigami."
"Okay," Deba Shizuka finally revealed a rather regretful look, "I'd also like to know how the effect of a contract with a half-demon differs from a contract with a pure monster."
"Thank you. If you want to do research, you can try finding a half-demon yourself." Yuyin suggested directly.
The fluttering butterfly seemed to be tired of flying, and landed between his fingers, turning back into the shape of talisman paper, which caused Saya to exclaim in amazement and interrupted the atmosphere of unity between the two senior brothers and sisters.
Deba Jingsi chuckled and said, "Well, let's not talk about this topic that makes you uncomfortable."
He waved his hand, and a human-shaped god suddenly appeared beside him.
After receiving the requested item from the Shikigami, Deba Shizue raised the book in his hand towards Yuyin and smiled playfully: "Now, let's talk about this novel."
When Yuyin saw the familiar words "Book of Hundred Demons Contract" on the familiar book cover, she had only one feeling in her heart -
Oh no, it’s all over.
No, no, no, Yuyin, you have to stay calm. I have no evidence to prove that you wrote this novel.
However, what Shizuka said next completely shattered her luck -
"The young leader of the famous demon-slaying family, Shiina Shinya? Not to mention the familiar story of Natsume-kun and the cat. Or should I call you, Junior Sister, Daidoji Kaoru-sensei?"
Before Yuyin could deny it, Asami Saya's scream rang out first, "Yoyin is Daidoji-sensei..."?!
Yuyin had no choice but to rush over and cover her mouth. Didn't she see that everyone around her was attracted by this sentence? If someone heard it clearly, or happened to take a short video and post it on social media, she would reveal her pseudonym in front of the entire island nation tomorrow!
"Ha, ha, brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What about Mr. Daidoji? When did you start reading this kind of boring fantasy novel?"
Yuyin laughed dryly twice and lowered her voice.
Shizuka Deba slowly flipped through the pages, saying leisurely, "Of course, I wasn't the one who read the novel. Nanase stumbled upon it. Actually, I should thank the publisher for giving me a few copies of your book. After reading it, Nanase found not only the plot familiar, but also the idioms used in some of the text were exactly the same as yours. That's why she told me about it."
Nanase-san, why are you so dedicated?
Hearing this, Yuyin knew it was difficult to refute it, so she pretended to be pitiful and said, "It's not that I thought I was no longer in this world...so I wanted to write down the past events as a souvenir."
Deba Jingji nodded. After confirming that his junior sister was still alive and realizing that no one was deliberately controlling Yuyin's soul, he guessed that her reincarnation might be related to the fusion of the worlds.
*
In the end, Yuyin and Saya failed to get a ride to Chinatown to enjoy a feast.
At the request of Shizue Toba, Saya readily gave up Yuyin, allowing the two senior brothers and sisters some space to be alone, and now, Yuyin was sitting in the familiar back seat of the Toba family's luxury car.
Next to her was her senior brother Chang Jingsi. There was a partition between the front and rear seats of the car to ensure the privacy of the conversation, so they could talk freely about the integration of the worlds without having to be reserved like they did on the street just now.
"Are you studying in Yokohama now? Junior high school or high school?"
Shizuka Deba asked her about her life slowly and leisurely, just like when they were still students.
"No," Yuyin shook her head. At this point, the vest has almost fallen off, and there is nothing to hide. "I am currently studying at Hyotei Academy in Tokyo. I came to Yokohama today just to deal with the nun who cursed Saya."
"Tokyo..."
Dechang Jingsi pondered for a while, opened the compartment where the documents were placed on his side, took out a thick stack of documents from it and handed it to her.
Yuyin pointed at the stack of papers: "What is this?"
Shizuka Deba said as a matter of course, "Since you are in Tokyo, then it is your responsibility to complete these commissions."
"You!" Yuyin's eyes widened as she accused him, "That's too much! You're exploiting child labor!"

The author has something to say: Come, let's make a sound with me: The senior brother who forced the junior sister to work on the first day of their acquaintance is a scumbag!
