Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Unexpected Contact
As it turns out, Keigo Atobe never brags when he speaks.
Perhaps because private territory does not need to consider the size of the land, the greenhouse in the Atobe family's house is more than twice the size of the one in the school. The garden is full of colorful flowers, and all kinds of rare roses in the world can be found in it.
Of course, in the eyes of Saionji Yuon at this moment, the little flower elves as bright as roses were flying among the flowers, and from time to time they flew around them mischievously, as if showing off their beauty and superb flying skills.
"The roof of the greenhouse is a glass dome, which insulates heat but not completely blocks out light. The temperature of this greenhouse is set by central air conditioning according to the growth needs of the flowers."
The two of them sat in the center of the greenhouse, a resting spot that offered the best viewing vantage point. Atobe Keigo poured a cup of black tea and pushed it toward Yuyin, proudly introducing his beloved greenhouse to her.
Yuyin picked up the steaming white porcelain cup, tilted her head slightly, and could clearly see the glass dome above her head.
The roof is not a whole piece of flat glass, but is made up of countless pieces of translucent colored glass pieced together into a slightly curved hemisphere. Looking up from the bottom, it seems as if you are looking at the starry sky. It is colorful, very beautiful and full of artistic atmosphere.
“Very beautiful.”
A little blue elf landed beside her hand, lowered its head to smell the fragrance of the black tea, and felt the slight weight on its hand. Yuyin's gaze moved away from the glass dome and fell on the little flower elf. Noticing her movements, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, and deliberately tilted the cup. She didn't know whether she was praising the dome or the cute little elf.
The little goblin was caught off guard and took a sip of the red tea. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but she still didn't want to leave.
"Yes, it's very beautiful." Atobe Keigo turned his head and stared at her. He had seen both the flowers and the dome countless times. Of course, the scenery that would make him admire her would not be the same.

After admiring the garden, the last stop is the tennis court.
It’s still Keigo Atobe’s usual style, in one word - big, Yuyin thought as she looked at the row of tennis courts.
But there is good news. She doesn't have to worry about Atobe encountering monsters while practicing tennis. Judging from the remaining spiritual power in this field, Atobe often practices his big moves here. It is estimated that the degree of spiritual power explosion has scared away all the small monsters nearby. No wonder she didn't see a single monster when she walked over just now.
"Sometimes on weekends, I gather them at my house for training," Atobe Keigo said, pointing to the field. "The school cafeteria is closed on weekends, so it's inconvenient to go home."
Although this makes no difference to him and he can ask the driver at home to deliver the food, it is better to train at his home. All the logistical work can be left to his servants, and everyone only needs to concentrate on training.
Having said that, Yuyin looked around the empty venue and suddenly wondered, "Hey, didn't you call them here today? Isn't your tennis club going to play in the national competition in August?" It couldn't be that the training was cancelled just because she was coming today.
"We had training yesterday, and today is a day off," Atobe Keigo said helplessly before Yuyin continued to ask, "You, you, I'm afraid you don't remember anything at all. The final exam is next week, right?"
Yuyin was suddenly startled: "Final exam?"
"I gave them a whole day off specifically for review. If they do poorly on the test, it would be a disgrace to our tennis club."
At this moment, Atobe Keigo couldn't help but feel fortunate that none of his problem children had poor academic performance. Even if all of them didn't excel in the exams, at least they all passed. You must know that according to school rules, if a student failed even one subject in the major exam, they wouldn't be able to participate in the national competition.
He had heard Inuzaka complain about the people from Seigaku and Rikkai University in a joking tone, saying that they had encountered this kind of problem. Before every midterm and final exam, they had to give overnight tutoring to the poor students in the regular selection class as if they were facing a great enemy.
Yuyin then remembered that Xingzi seemed to have complained about the exams before. After all, her grades in one or two subjects were still a little dangerous. As for herself, the threat posed by each final exam was not as great as the inexplicable time travel during the summer vacation, so naturally she didn't care.
I shouldn't be traveling through time this year, right? The worlds have all merged. She really didn't want to add another detail to her resume, Yuyin thought distressedly.
*
With such a tangled thought in mind, this trip to the Atobe residence ended.
"From what I've observed, your home, Jingwu, is very, very safe."
Yuyin informed Atobe Keigo of the conclusion.
This result was not unexpected to her. Before coming, Yuyin had almost determined that there would be no major problems on the side of the Atobe family.
After all, the formation and activity of cursed spirits are directly proportional to the population and negative emotions. The area where the Atobe residence is located is deserted and there are almost no people, so naturally there won't be many negative emotions. Unless there is a malicious curse from an enemy, she really can't imagine the possibility of cursed spirits appearing frequently here.
As for monsters, as long as no big monsters are lucky enough to be sealed here, there is no need to worry about other small monsters in the mountains.
"So, Yuyin, you don't think you need to live in my house?"
Atobe Keigo didn't show it on his face, but he was a little depressed inside. He still hoped to let Tamane live in his house for a long time, but judging from Tamane's conclusion now, she probably didn't plan to move in.
Although he could also force Tamane to move in by assigning her a task, Keigo Atobe understood that too much is as bad as too little. In this matter, he chose to respect Tamane's choice and gave her the right to choose. This is why Tamane came to visit the Atobe family today.
Yuyin thought for a moment and said, "That's what I originally planned, but the final exams are next week, and then the holiday will come. During the school term, you spend most of your time at school, so I don't have to live with you at your house, but after the holiday, it won't be possible..."
Hearing this unexpected turn of events, Atobe Keigo's eyes lit up: "You mean, you can live at my house after the holidays?"
Yuyin nodded: "Long-term protection missions need to be carried out in this way." If the person being protected was not Atobe, she would definitely not be able to bargain with the person being protected.
The corners of Atobe's mouth curled up, and the smile in his eyes could not be concealed: "I'll ask Yamaoki to prepare a room for you."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Yuyin waved her hand quickly, "I'm not moving in right away, and even if I do, I won't be here every day."
Apart from anything else, her senior brother has a task to complete every week, and there is also the national competition of the Kyudo Club... In this way, she is not qualified to be a personal bodyguard. Fortunately, Atobe did not mind that his family spent a lot of money to hire her.
"It's okay. Didn't you say my house is safe?" Atobe said indifferently. It was Yamachi and his parents' idea to hire a bodyguard. If it wasn't for Tamane who took on this task, he wouldn't want strangers to live in his house.
Yuyin's expression was solemn. "It's better to be prepared for the worst. So, to prevent any accidents from happening to you while I'm away, I need to take some precautions."
"What defensive work?" Atobe asked in confusion.
"Formation, and talismans."
Yuyin told Atobe frankly that after all, Atobe's cooperation was still needed to complete this task.
*
First is the formation.
Yuyin planned to set up two formations in the Atobe residence. One was a defensive formation to prevent cursed spirits or malicious monsters from passing by and causing trouble. The other was a space transfer formation. Specifically, the coordinates of the space transfer were engraved, so that no matter where she was, she could use magic to reach the Atobe residence immediately as long as she wanted.
This space-shifting technique was inspired by witnessing Gojo-senpai use the "Ao" spell in the world of spells, and she finally mastered it under the tutelage of the Tokugawa family. Generally speaking, it couldn't be as arbitrarily controlled as "Ao," as it had specific requirements for the distance, number of times, item (or items themselves) to be transferred, and spiritual energy consumption.
However, for Yuyin, on the premise of carving the formation, it is no problem to carry out three to five fixed-point space transfers a day within the entire Tokyo city area.
The second is the talisman.
"Here you go." Yuyin took out a large pile of talismans that she had prepared in advance and stuffed them into Keigo Atobe's pockets.
When Keigo Atobe held this pile of talisman paper, he was very suspicious that she had taken it out from some other dimension.
Yuyin handed it to him and gave him some scientific explanation.
"This is an invisibility and anger-removing charm. If you encounter a powerful monster, stick this on yourself and it won't be able to see you or sense your presence."
"This is a thunder summoning talisman. Stick it on monsters and cursed spirits to make them get struck by lightning."
"This barrier talisman, when activated, creates a small barrier around you, preventing monsters and cursed spirits from approaching you. However, the barrier will break if it is attacked beyond its limit, so you must be careful."
"This is an evil-sensing talisman. If there are cursed spirits or monsters around with evil intentions towards you, it will heat up or burn as a warning. If you feel it heating up, be careful."
…
"This is a communication symbol. You can use it to communicate with me."
Atobe Keigo looked at the pile of scrawled symbols and was stunned as he listened to Yuyin's introduction of their functions and her instruction on how to use them.
If he didn't have an excellent memory and forced himself to remember the appearance of the talismans, it would be impossible for him to distinguish the functions of all the talisman papers based on Yuyin's introduction.
Yuyin also sternly instructed him, "Putting aside other talismans, you must remember to carry a communication talisman. When encountering danger related to cursed spirits or monsters, technological communication tools may sometimes fail. With this, you can at least call me for help in time. Then, whether you are at home or anywhere else, I can rush to you immediately."
But Yuyin didn't expect that the first time she used the communication talisman to communicate with someone other than her senior brother was not with Atobe Keigo.
*
During the last exam of the final semester, Yuyin suddenly felt a piece of communication talisman paper in her arms getting hot.
At this moment, she didn't need to turn her head to know that Atobe Keigo was sitting next to her.
It's not possible that Atobe wants to use this to argue with her, right?
Yuyin thought jokingly.
Then she made an excuse and asked the invigilator for leave to go to the bathroom.
If it wasn't Jingwu, this kind of contact talisman would only be possessed by her senior brother, and she had only given it to Senior Gojo and his students.
Sure enough, as soon as she activated the talisman paper, Fushiguro Megumi's somewhat anxious voice came from the other side.
"Saionji-senpai, can you come over now?"
