“Thank you for sending me back, Lord Xin!”
Yotsuya Residence.
Yotsuya Miko thanked Xin at the doorway.
Xin said: “It’s fine, I was coming over to set up coordinates anyway.”
“Um…”
Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, then whispered: “Would you like to come in and sit for a while?”
Xin glanced at the slightly ajar door behind her and said: “I think it’s better for you to explain the current situation to your mother first.”
“Ah, this…”
Yotsuya Miko turned her head stiffly, and immediately saw that her front door was slightly open.
Yotsuya Miko deflated and said: “Alright.”
“Then, see you tomorrow.”
Xin waved his hand, found a place where no one could see, and directly disappeared using ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’.
“Mi—ko—”
Yotsuya Miko’s neck shrank abruptly.
Yotsuya Keiko stood behind her and said eerily: “So Miko came back so late because she went on a date with her boyfriend-kun.”
“Poor Mom waited for Miko until the food got cold, and I’m still starving…”
“I’m very sorry, Mom!”
Yotsuya Miko apologized decisively.
“Great!
Bring boyfriend-kun over as a guest next time, and I’ll forgive you!”
“Eh???”
The next day.
Supernatural Investigation Club.
Yotsuya Miko came a little late.
Yesterday she left Hana alone, and promised to treat Hana to daifuku today, so the two of them strolled around outside.
After parting ways with Hana, she hurried back from outside.
“It seems I need to learn ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’.”
Thinking of the way Xin used ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’ to travel yesterday, Yotsuya Miko couldn’t help but feel envious.
During class in the day, she secretly used her phone in the ‘Xins Familiars Harem Group’ to ask about the usage method of ‘Magic Cube Teleportation’.
When Senior Utaha sent a huge pile of dense theoretical knowledge, Yotsuya Miko decisively gave up.
She was simply not cut out for studying!
Standing at the doorway of the Supernatural Investigation Club, Yotsuya Miko couldn’t help but wail in her heart.
With a rattle, Yotsuya Miko pushed open the door of the Supernatural Investigation Club.
What came into view was Xin sitting with his back against the window.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he didn’t know what he was thinking about.
To his side, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s slender fingers were tapping frantically on the tablet.
Of course, what attracted Yotsuya Miko the most was inside the room, that…
Evil Spirit that seemed to be tied up by something, but whose size was so huge it was about to burst through the ceiling?
“Yiyaaaaaaa!!”
The bloated Evil Spirit let out a sharp and piercing screech!
Yotsuya Miko quickly walked into the classroom and slammed the door shut with a bang.
The speed was so fast, it seemed as if she was afraid the Evil Spirit’s roar would echo through the entire Shuchiin Academy. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
“Rest assured, ordinary people can’t see or hear it.”
Xin opened his eyes.
Although Natsuki-chan might file a noise complaint against him on LINE.
Ah, subconsciously…
Yotsuya Miko also remembered the setting of Evil Spirit, scratched her face awkwardly, and then said: “This Evil Spirit…”
She was a bit confused about the situation.
Why would the Supernatural Investigation Club…
kidnap a Curse Spirit?
Her expression was a bit subtle.
If it were before yesterday, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to imagine this scene.
“This is a Second-Grade Curse Spirit.”
Xin explained, and then said: “Use Swallowing Spirits on it, Miko.”
“Ah…
Yes!”
Yotsuya Miko reacted.
So it was to test to what extent Swallowing Spirits could do.
She took a deep breath, then raised her hand, aiming her palm at the bloated Evil Spirit, and softly shouted:
“Swallowing Spirits!”
Hum——
Her magic power was completely released.
Fluctuations began to gradually arise on the Curse Spirit’s body.
“Aaaaa!!”
It also seemed to sense a hint of danger, becoming anxious, and frantically twisting its body, trying to break free from the restraints.
But…
It seemed that was all there was to it.
Xin looked at Miko, who was starting to pant, and made a judgment in his heart.
Second-Grade Curse Spirit.
Although it could still produce some influence, for Miko now, it was obviously too strenuous.
Furthermore, the second-grade Curse Spirit showed no tendency to turn into an EXP pill.
“That’s enough.”
Xin stopped Miko from continuing to release magic power, otherwise, she would be like Utaha earlier, collapsing from excessive magic consumption.
Although he wouldn’t mind relieving that negative state for his familiar through mana replenishment.
“Hoo——”
Yotsuya Miko stopped the output of magic power, looking at the Curse Spirit that hadn’t changed much, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
“I’m sorry, Lord Xin, my strength is too weak, I can’t shake it at all.”
Xin comforted: “It’s fine.”
“Rather, this is the normal situation.”
If there were really no restrictions, then if Xin grabbed a Special-Grade Curse Spirit over for Yotsuya Miko to absorb, wouldn’t her level shoot up like a rocket?
Xin walked up to the Evil Spirit and patted it.
As his voice fell, the magic ropes bound to the Curse Spirit instantly tightened.
“Ughahahaha!!”
The Curse Spirit only had time to scream miserably, and then with a bang, it exploded violently!
What no one noticed was that after the Curse Spirit exploded, particles as small as dust converged towards Xin.
Swallowing Spirits!
It’s just that unlike Yotsuya Miko, Xin’s Swallowing Spirits method wasn’t limited to compressing the Curse Spirit into purple beads before absorbing it.
Xin carefully experienced it.
His power had indeed improved.
But not as much as when Utaha and Miko became familiars and Reincarnated Devils.
Moreover, the growth of his familiars would also feed back to him at any time.
To enhance his strength, the most important direction was still to recruit familiars and have them level up as quickly as possible.
As for Swallowing Spirits…
If it were a First-Grade Cursed Spirit, or even a Special-Grade Curse Spirit, it might give his strength a rapid boost.
However…
“This level of Curse Spirit is not that easy to appear…”
It all depends on fate.
Mhm…
Let’s mention it to Natsuki-chan and have her keep an eye out for it.
Although Natsuki-chan’s main direction wasn’t Curse Spirits, didn’t she have colleagues specializing in Curse Spirits?
Of course, as for Special-Grade Curse Spirits, Xin wasn’t very confident.
Although [Psychic Demon] had a special attack effect on spiritual creatures, Xin wasn’t sure to what extent it could achieve.
It’s better to be a bit cautious.
“Is it over?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked a question, then put down the tablet and stretched her body.
That old woman Machida Sonoko.
Just because she forgot to type words and didn’t submit her manuscript these past few days, she could actually say such harsh words.
As expected, she must have reached the age of menopause.
Moreover, the sales of “Love Metronome” were dismal, and there was completely no need to continue it anymore.
If it were in the past, she might have felt sad and upset for a good while.
But ever since meeting Xin, everything has completely changed.
Not just her life or becoming a Devil, and so on.
Even in her writing, she found a new direction.
As for her new book, how about calling it…
“The Devil Miss and Her Loyal Servant”?
Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Xin, her eyes shifting with shimmering light.
If Xin knew her thoughts, he would probably say something like the world has turned upside down.
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha like this, Xin understood that this woman had once again fallen into some kind of fantasy of her own.
Shaking his head, Xin waved his phone and said, “I sent a file in the chat group, remember to check it when you have time.”
A file?
