Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Xiaobai's guess
"Yuyin, good morning!"
When Saionji Tamon yawned and stepped into the teaching building, she was greeted by Genki's cheerful greeting.
She looked up and found that the person greeting her was not Morimoto Kyoko who had just returned from morning training as usual, but her classmate Asami Saya.
Yuyin looked dazed. She couldn't help but recall the painful fact that she had lost two identities in a row within eight hours yesterday. The original cause of all this was the curse of the nun on Saya. It was less than a day ago, but it felt so long when she recalled it, which made her feel complicated and indescribable.
But this matter had nothing to do with Saya, so she immediately calmed down and responded to Saya with a normal mood, "It's Saya, good morning."
The two went to the lockers to change shoes. Seeing that she looked listless, Saya couldn't help but ask with concern: "Yune, you look very listless. Are you tired from what happened yesterday?"
Since they were in a public place, Saya vaguely mentioned the matter of eliminating the nun.
Yuyin smiled and waved her hands. "No, no, it has nothing to do with this. Saya, don't worry. Look how relaxed I was when I dealt with that guy yesterday. Does it look like anything's wrong?"
She hadn't slept well because of the late-night barbecue that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. Later that night, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, thinking about the frank discussion she had with her seniors that night. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until late in the night that she finally drifted off to a half-drowsy sleep. Then, for the first time in her life, her alarm woke her up in the morning, nearly making her late for school.
Saya breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was afraid that her affairs would have a profound impact on her friends.
Then she cheered up again: "Let's have lunch together at noon. Yuyin, are you more of a bento person or a cafeteria person?" Since they are friends, of course they should have lunch together.
"Ah, I'm from the cafeteria," Yuyin answered casually as she opened her locker. "My parents are on a business trip, and I'm the only one home. It's too much trouble to prepare lunch boxes, so I usually eat in the cafeteria when I go to school."
"Oh, that's a pity. I wanted to go to the rooftop with you to exchange lunch dishes." Saya took out the lunch box and said regretfully.
Yuyin said with some nostalgia, "I sometimes make bento on the weekends. Let's go to the rooftop together next Monday."
Looking back, the ordinary schoolgirl life of swapping bentos seemed a long time ago. Last time in the youkai world, she had immediately joined the Tomokazu family, and the surroundings were filled with youkai, so interacting with ordinary people inevitably felt a bit alienated. And in the world before that, studying was even more of a distant past.
"Then it's a deal, it's a date!"
"Yeah, it's an appointment."

When Atobe Keigo sat down at Saionji Gyokon, he asked out of nowhere, "When did you become so familiar with Asami Saya?"
It was obvious that during the swimming class yesterday, the two of them acted as if they didn't know each other at all and had no connection at all. Tebe, who had been sitting and lying by the pool for a long time, was sure that the two of them had just entered the classroom together, talking and laughing.
Or is it that girls' friendship is like a tornado, coming quickly and inexplicably?
"I helped Saya with a small favor after school yesterday." Yuyin put away her schoolbag and realized that it was Atobe who asked this question. She looked up and asked with a smile, "Atobe-san, why are you suddenly concerned about your classmates?"
Atobe coughed lightly and said, "I'm just curious, a little curious, that's all."
His insight would definitely not be wrong. The two did not know each other before, and Saionji had always been pursuing a reclusive attitude because of that kind of thing. Although Asami Saya could not be considered a campus celebrity, having such close contact with her was contrary to Saionji's usual behavior.
"Before, you wouldn't get too close to anyone in your class."
Perhaps the archery club member Morimoto Anko who always came to see Saionji seemed very close to her, but that was just an appearance. The actual relationship between the two did not go beyond the close relationship of juniors and seniors.
Yuyin paused holding the book when she heard this. She had to admit that Atobe was very accurate in judging people. In the past, she did avoid having "intimate" interactions with others. When she first came into contact with Saya yesterday, she might have been thinking of finding "kindred spirits" because both Saya and she were outliers in the crowd. Sometimes when people are alone for a long time, they will subconsciously look for people like them to get rid of loneliness.
But that was in the past. Now she has dropped two of her vests. There is not much point in keeping a low profile. Anyway, she has let it go. This vest cannot be removed just because you want to. It is better to just follow her heart.
"I just changed my mind," Yuyin knocked on his desk and smiled, "Okay, having said all that, Atobe-san, you should hand in your homework."

School Island.
After school, Wiseman, Yatogami Goulang, and Cat were chatting and laughing on their way back to the dormitory.
Weisman felt very satisfied with his life after the slate was broken. Although his peaceful life had been suddenly disturbed by some unexpected twists and turns recently, such as the sudden appearance of supernatural creatures, which rekindled his interest in research even after he lost the slate, what made him even more satisfied was the white rice cooked by Yatogami Golang every day when he returned home, and the warm feeling of home.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency the Silver King."
However, today was destined to be a day that they could not go back to enjoy their white rice immediately. Shortly after they left the school gate, they were stopped by the Blue King Reiji Munakata.
Weisman shook his head. "Mr. Director, you are too polite. The slate is broken. I am no longer the Silver King."
Munakata Reiji was taken aback, pushed up his glasses, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for being polite, Mr. Weisman."
Weisman also smiled faintly: "Mr. Director, you are waiting here specifically, so it must be something important."
"Indeed, I came here to..."
Before he finished speaking, Weisman waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I think it will take too long to finish talking about Mr. Director's affairs. Why don't you come to my house and talk slowly after dinner?"
Reiji Munakata hesitated: "This..." Was this the personality of the Silver King he knew before?
"Yeah, you are a guest. My dog Lang cooks excellent food. You won't be disappointed."
Wiseman's invitation was so kind that it was hard for Reiji Munakata to refuse, which is why he finally sat at the Wiseman family's dining table, said with them, "I'm eating," and picked up his bowl.
After Youli tasted the food served by the host and praised the host's cooking skills, Reiji Munakata got down to business.
"I believe Mr. Weisman has also noticed the changes in the world during this period."
The Blue Clan's mission is to maintain order, and they do not have this kind of research talent. Reiji Munakata can only look for the Silver King Wiseman, who has the most research on this.
Wiseman picked up his teacup and asked, "Mr. Director, are you referring to the fusion of worlds?"
Munakata Reiji nodded. "I've asked or tested some people around me, and only the royal family and core clan members can detect the anomaly. Everyone else believes it has always been like this. This kind of power can massively change the perceptions of so many people..."
Weisman smiled and took a sip of tea. "Similar to the power of a slate or a cat, right?"
Cats are outsiders, and their abilities are illusions. Their abilities are so strong that they can even distort human consciousness and memory. Once, when he was under external shock, he was inevitably caught in the cat's illusion and thought he was the young boy "Isanasha".
"Meow~ Xiaobai, are you calling me for something?" The cat, who was suddenly called out, looked up.
Weisman smiled and said, "We were complimenting you on your powerful illusion skills."
The cat said proudly, "Of course." She had completely forgotten that her illusion had been broken in front of Reiji Munakata's Blue Sanctuary.
After comforting the cat, Weizman continued his discussion with Munakata Reiji: "So you think it's something like the cat's ability that's altering people's memories?"
Weisman pondered, "But to achieve this kind of memory coverage of this scope and intensity, the power required is all I can think of, the stone tablet itself."
"The slab itself?"
"Yes," Weisman nodded. "Mr. Director, you still remember that dream, right? It was the stone tablet that could distort reality and illusion, the power of human prayer itself."
Munakata Reiji questioned, "So this is a stone tablet..."
Weisman nodded, then shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. I can only say that to achieve this level, one must have at least the same level of strength as the stone tablet, or even higher."
Munakata Reiji sighed slightly, "I don't know whether this change is good or bad."
"Don't worry," Weizman said with a smile. "It seems that this memory-modifying power is intended to protect ordinary people. If everyone knew about the world fusion, it would inevitably cause great panic, just like when the existence of the stone tablet was revealed. It is not appropriate in the current environment."
Reisi Munakata also thought of this.
Speaking of this, he changed the subject: "In short, regarding the truth of the world fusion, I can only ask you, Mr. Weizman, to continue your investigation and research. However, I am here for more than just this matter."
"Oh?" Weisman was puzzled. "I wonder if there's anything else?"
Munakata Reiji turned to Yatogami Goro, who was quietly listening to their conversation, and bowed slightly, saying, "I would like to ask Goro-kun to help contact the remaining clans of the Green King, Misho Ginshi and Gojo Sukuna."
Yatogami Goro was slightly startled, not expecting him to be involved in this. Then, he heard the man's name and asked, "I wonder what the Scepter 4 leader wants him for? Is he going to arrest him?"
After all the things they had experienced, the relationship between the two brothers was no longer as tense as before. If the King of Green wanted to get clues from him to arrest them, he would have miscalculated.
"That's not the case," Munakata Reiji said, smiling faintly and shaking his head, as if realizing he'd misunderstood. "There's something else I need to confirm with the Green King Clan. If I rashly show up with the Scepter 4, they'll inevitably misunderstand and cause complications. Instead, using Goro-kun to convey my goodwill towards cooperation is the most appropriate method at this moment."
Yatogami Goro subconsciously looked at Wiseman, who smiled and nodded at him. He then said to Munakata Reiji, "I will convey your wishes to him, but I'm not sure whether the brothers want to see you."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Goro is willing to help." Reiji Munakata said calmly.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes "begin with courtesy, then use force." If the other party is determined not to engage in peaceful dialogue, he can only bring the Scepter 4 members to their door and "talk" with them in person.
