Chapter 10 Chapter 10 World Fusion (Part 2)
The journey was peaceful after that, and Megumi Fushiguro did not try to talk to her again just to test her.
Saionji Tamon guessed that he went out at this time because he had received a mission. The total number of sorcerers in the island country was seriously insufficient, but the number of cursed spirits was increasing day by day. All the students of the Jutsu High School had to study and go on missions at the same time, and they had no spare time at all.
Yuyin walked until she saw the old house where the society lived from afar. She breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then she couldn't help but feel worried again.
The good news is that she didn't travel through time.
The bad news is that, judging by the situation, the two worlds are very likely to merge. Only in this way, the Curse Spirit World's High School of Curse and the old house where the club lives will exist at the same time.
With the monsters and curses added together, Yuyin didn't need to think too much to understand how serious the matter was. Ordinary people would not be able to fight back against just one of them, let alone both of them causing trouble at the same time.
"Since it's delivered, I should leave." After saying this, Megumi Fushiguro turned around and left without waiting for the other party to thank him.
His figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest. Yuyin looked at the direction he left, estimating how much time had passed since her death. She then thought to herself that this child was quite helpful and showed no trace of her bad upbringing as a senior. Perhaps it was because her senior was too unreliable that this child grew up in the opposite direction.
The door opened with a swish, and Xingzi's happy voice came from behind: "Yuyin-senpai, so you're here. I was just about to go out to look for you. Goto-senpai said we need to gather and start training."
"Then let's go."
Saionji Tamane turned around, walked past Kyoko, and walked neatly into the house.
Kyoko blinked.
Why do I feel that Senior Yuyin looks particularly handsome today?
It's not that Senior isn't usually heroic, it's just that he's usually lazy, seemingly unmotivated. He'll never use his full effort to accomplish something he can only accomplish with a third of his effort. But just now, it felt different. The look in Senior's eyes...
Xingzi can't describe it, but it's the kind that makes your heart beat wildly when you see it.

Saionji Tamon had no idea that her unintentional glance had caused Anzi to have a lot of wild thoughts.
She was just thinking about how to deal with the monsters and cursed spirits around her without revealing her true identity.
Ordinary people cannot see cursed spirits, and ordinary people cannot see monsters and evil spirits unless they show up on purpose. She can also set up barriers. As long as she doesn't encounter big monsters and special-grade cursed spirits, she can control the scope of the battle. But there are always unexpected things. If she really encounters that level of cursed spirits, she cannot guarantee that she can completely control it.
As a last resort, she had to use "that".
Yuyin was so absorbed in her thoughts that she paid no attention to the outside world. As a result, she took the lead in the long-distance race and ran at the front of everyone in the Kyudo Club, leaving those behind far behind.
Goto Rika, who came in second, clenched her hands, furious. "So she really is reserved. Damn it!"
She charged forward fiercely, refusing to admit defeat, shouting, "Saionji Yuon, I will never lose to you!"
The friend next to her helplessly advised: "Rika, this is a long-distance run to train your endurance, don't rush so quickly..."
Rika Goto ignored her completely and chased after Tamane Saionji.
The two ran faster and faster, and immediately overtook a group of boys of the same age who were also doing long-distance running training in front of them.
"Ah, I've been overtaken!" Momoshiro Takeshi, the spiky-haired boy in the team, shouted in surprise, then fell into thought, "That girl running in front looks familiar, I've seen her somewhere..."
Kaidou Xun beside him tutted his words, "You can't outrun others, so why dwell on such insignificant issues?"
"What did you say? Venomous snake!" Momoshiro Takeshi couldn't stand being ridiculed, and suddenly he exploded with anger, "I'm deliberately saving my strength for the second half. People like you who can't outrun me have no right to speak." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.
"You can only show off in short distance running. I won't lose to you in long distance running!" Haitang was irritated by him and immediately sped up and sprinted.
"Hey, you guys!" Deputy Minister Oishi Hideichiro stretched out his hand and watched helplessly as the two of them ran farther and farther away, gradually leaving the vanguard.
An unfathomable light flashed across Inui Sadaharu's glasses as he quickly wrote something down in his notebook. "I've gathered some very interesting data. When did Momoshiro meet this girl from another school? If I remember correctly, the only one living with us in the mountains is said to be from the Hyotei Women's Kyudo Club in the house next door."
Fuji, who was running in the middle of the team, said with a smile, "The data collection is as complete as ever."
"This isn't data that needs to be collected. How on earth are you going to figure out who lives next door? We should keep a distance from girls' homes!" Daishi was helpless about Fuji's instigation and could only persuade him earnestly.
Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses and said, "This is the basic skill of collecting data. Don't worry, I already know the location of the hot spring in the next yard, so I won't stray into it by mistake."
"Why do you even know how to do something like this?"
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who maintained his pace, heard the name and murmured, "Hyotei..."
Fuji keenly noticed the change in his expression: "In the resurrection match, Hyotei defeated St. Rudolph." He paused for a few seconds when mentioning his brother Yuta's school. "In the Kanto tournament, there is a high probability that our two teams will meet."
The specific round will depend on the results of the subsequent draw.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression was stern. He pushed his glasses aside and said, "No matter what the grouping results are, we must not be careless."
Echizen Ryoma, who was watching the entire process, lowered the brim of his hat and silently increased his running speed: "We're still a long way off."

Yuyin had no idea she had just passed the Hyotei Tennis Club's biggest rival in the tournament. She ran the entire course in one breath, then returned to the main house to shower and then returned to her room to change.
When she took out the bow and arrow she would use for training from her luggage, she realized that weapons were also a problem for her now, which was a headache.
She didn't need special magical tools or spells to fight monsters and cursed spirits; she could use ordinary bows and arrows to achieve effects worth hundreds of millions. The problem was that ordinary arrows didn't disappear after destroying the enemy, and bows and arrows were a very targeted attack method, making it easy for people familiar with her to link her to her.
Then I will deliberately increase the injection of spiritual power/curse power every time I shoot the arrow, to ensure that after the target is eliminated, the arrow that destroys the enemy will collapse on its own because it cannot withstand the intensity of the spiritual power/curse power. Saionji Yuon slapped his palm and thought happily, I am really a genius.
“Ding Dong——”
When the notification sounded, Yuyin took out the mobile phone from her pocket and saw that a new email had been received on the screen.
She opened it and saw it was from her editor, Xincheng: [Hello, Mr. Daidoji, the sample book for this publication has come out from the publishing house. I would like to ask if it can be sent to your designated address as usual?]
The smile froze on her face instantly.
Big crisis!
"Ahhh——!" Saionji Tamane wailed, holding her head. How could she forget such an important thing!
Why did she want to write a novel in the first place?
Anyone involved would not be able to tell that this is about something that happened to them!
Wait, Saionji Kyon, you have to stay calm and don't panic.
They may not necessarily read your novel, and even if they do, they may not suspect you, and even if they suspect you, they may not be able to find you in person.
Right, aren't my novels aimed at young people? Those orange peels in the Spellcaster Association definitely won't read them. Other young spellcasters work 996, no, they're working 007 non-stop to deal with cursed spirits. They don't have the time to read novels for entertainment. Gojo Satoru is an exception, but he doesn't read that kind of books. It's the current students in technical high schools who need to be more worried...
Yuyin's mind raced as she quickly composed a reply email.
[The sample book has been sent to the usual place. I will pick it up when I have time.]
Should she be thankful that her real identity wasn't revealed when she signed the contract? In the internet age, manuscripts can be sent via email, sample copies are always sent to her designated location, and she picks them up. Even the royalties and other remuneration are directly transferred by the publishing house to an overseas account she created online.
After a moment's thought, she added, "Editor Xincheng, I'd like to ask about the sales of my previously published book, 'Walking with the Curse,' and how is its promotion?"
Perhaps because she was very popular, the editor-in-chief had been waiting for her reply via email. Less than half a minute after she put down her phone, the notification sound rang again.
"Are you asking about 'Walking with the Curse,' Mr. Daidoji? That book was the #1 seller last year! Sales haven't slowed down to this day. The only book that surpasses its success is 'The Book of Hundred Demon Contracts,' which you released this year. Most of the publicity at the publishing house has shifted to the new book. Are you planning to reprint 'Walking with the Curse,'" he said? "I'd be the first to support you! I don't know what specific ideas you have, but I'll help you out immediately!"
Why are they selling so many copies? Why are they still reprinting? I'd rather just withdraw all the books currently in circulation so no one can ever see them again.
Yuyin was so distressed that she almost wanted to scratch the wall. She immediately replied: [I have absolutely no such intention. You are overthinking it.]
After a moment's thought, he added: "Xincheng, from now on, no matter who comes to ask you about me, you absolutely must not tell them a single word, or I will stop writing."
Xincheng's reply came so quickly that I was so shocked that I didn't even finish typing the first one:
【!!! 】
[Teacher, don't scare me! If you stop writing, I'm going to jump off the rooftop!]
"Teacher, don't worry! I absolutely won't leak a single word to anyone, even if the Prime Minister comes!"
His excitement could be seen between the lines. Yuyin comforted him with a few words and then stopped the email exchange.
Xincheng's mention of the "Book of Hundred Demon Contracts" just now reminded her of something. It seems that it is time to go to the Chang family mansion to take a look. Maybe...

In the publishing house.
The frightened Shinjoji patted his cheeks and said with confidence, "Alright, cheer up! The teacher must be joking. I absolutely cannot let that (stop writing) come true!"
After consoling himself, he quickly tidied up his messy desk, picked up the sample book and stood up: "Let's go mail the sample book to the teacher first."
He was so anxious that he opened the door and bumped into someone coming in without noticing.
"Ouch!"
Shinjo Osamu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly went to support the other person: "Editor-in-Chief, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man who fell to the ground due to the collision was the editor-in-chief of this publishing house. In other words, he was Shinjo Osamu's direct superior.
"Shinjo?" Chief Editor Kadowaki Sakataro said unhappily when he saw it was him. "Why are you so flustered? It's fine if you bump into me, but what if you bump into an important guest?"
"Distinguished guest?"
Shinjo Osamu only then noticed a young man standing behind the editor-in-chief and quickly bowed. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me. I was so anxious to send the sample book to the teacher that I didn't pay attention to where I was going..."
"Sample book?" When Chief Editor Kadowaki saw the "Book of Contracts with One Hundred Demons. Part 3" in his hand, he immediately understood and waved his hand magnanimously, "Since it's Mr. Daidoji's business, you should go and do it quickly." He turned around and talked to the man again.
Only then did Shinjo Osamu stop bowing, step back two steps and make way for the editor-in-chief and the distinguished guest to pass first.
It was also at this time that he had the opportunity to carefully examine the distinguished guest the editor-in-chief had mentioned.
Very young.
This was his first feeling, perhaps even younger than his own age after working for two or three years.
Her long black hair was tied behind her head, and her half-long bangs covered half of her eyes. The exposed eye was scarlet red. He accidentally met her eyes and was frightened by her gaze, and subconsciously looked away.
But out of curiosity, Xincheng couldn't help but observe secretly.
Faced with the editor-in-chief's long speeches, he just smiled slightly and didn't say much. When he followed the editor-in-chief past Shinjo Osamu, his half-long bangs fluttered slightly as he walked, revealing a bandage underneath that seemed to have strange patterns on it.
Shinjoji was also stunned. For some reason, the man's appearance always made him feel very familiar, but his outstanding memory confirmed that he had never seen this person before.
"Forget it," he patted his forehead with the sample book, "I'd better go and send the book quickly."
His eyes fell on the cover of the sample book and suddenly froze.
Wait, isn't this the look and demeanor of the mysterious demon hunter Shiina Shinya who just appeared in the teacher's "The Book of the Hundred Demons Contract"?
The author has something to say:
----------------------
*Momoshiro had seen the heroine during the street tennis court conflict in Chapter 3, because Atobe had an impression of her, but it had been a while and his memory was fuzzy.
This article has adjusted the Prince of Tennis competition time. The time of the Metropolitan Conference and the Kanto Conference is earlier than the official setting, otherwise the later games will be too dense.
I don't need to tell you who the last person is, right?_(:з」∠)_
