Chapter 14 In Modern Times

 "Am I...looking weird?"

Walking on the street at night, Kikyo felt a little uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand to pull the sleeve of someone next to her and asked in a low voice.

Because there were too many people around, a flow of people she had never imagined before. After all, how could the population density of villages and towns in the Warring States Period be compared to super cities like Tokyo in the modern world?

It was bustling and flowing, not to mention that it was so crowded that people were pushing each other, but really looking at it, the population on one street was far beyond her imagination.

And the large number of people is not the main problem. The problem is that the rate of turning around is too high. The witch seems to have become the focus of the entire street, attracting countless envious eyes... I don't know that she is too stunning, or even not at all.

Thinking about this aspect, the witch subconsciously felt that there might be something wrong with herself.

"Is it true that there are no more witches in this era..."

After hesitating for a while, she still asked in a low voice.

This was the first thing she thought of, and she felt that it might be because her painting style was in conflict with the world five hundred years later. The man next to her did not have this problem, because his clothes were very suitable for this era...

Only she is wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama, and her feet are wearing a shrine maiden outfit with white footbags and zori.

He looks completely out of place, maybe because this profession no longer exists in this world five hundred years from now?

Is it probably because of this that it attracted too many surprised eyes?

"That's not the reason. Even in my year and in this country, witches were not rare monsters that were rarely refreshed..." Gu Mo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then he shook his head, somewhat

He comforted Kikyo in a funny manner and explained.

Of course it cannot be because of this reason. After all, miko is still an important profession in Japan until modern times.

Especially in modern times, there are no strict restrictions on becoming a miko. This profession is no longer limited to the status of a sacred medium. To some extent, it has probably become more common. Some modern women go to work in shrines.

, as a part-time miko...

"Really? Then why are they looking at me like that?"

Kikyo frowned slightly, a little unsure whether what this person said was true or false. Although his tone did not seem to be hypocritical, the strange looks she felt from people were real.

"Isn't this natural? Because you are beautiful and have a good temperament, Kikyo, so it's not surprising that you get so much attention."

Gu Mo smiled and shook his head and said, "Does this kind of thing need to be said?" At the same time, he looked around casually, and all he saw were eyes that pretended to be calm or evasive in panic. There were also a few girls who were very bold and did not hide themselves.

looked at him with bright eyes.

Of course, not only the miko was noticed, but he himself also attracted a lot of attention and turn heads.

"..." Platycodon grandiflorum turned away gently without saying anything.

She was not relieved by his answer. Instead, she seemed even more unnatural, and even her eyes became a little strange.

Because no one has ever said this to her, she feels very awkward now - she is a witch, and she has always been very aware of this, but she is also a girl, but only in this regard

But I have never had this kind of self-awareness.

At this time, Gu Mo also felt that the attention was a bit high, and originally wanted to ask the witch to walk faster, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Kikyo's feelings about this era are obviously very new. She was full of doubts and curiosity about everything she saw along the way. However, she did not show it very obviously. She still maintained a considerable degree of calmness, but only from time to time.

I would ask him in a low voice.

No one can see such a calm and calm expression, and they probably think she is a modern miko...

And Platycodon's performance also made Gu Mo give up the idea of ​​walking faster... After all, it was the first time he saw her with such interest, so it was better to let the miko enjoy herself. Even just this journey along the way.

After a while, the frequency of Kikyo taking the initiative to speak to him was higher than before combined.

Gu Mo thought this and couldn't help but twitch his lips, not knowing whether he should be happy at this time.

"Where is that place in front?"

The witch's whisper sounded again, and there was a trace of surprise in her calm eyes. While staring ahead, she asked softly.

"That's the entrance to the subway station. People gather there to take the subway below... It's the car I told you about before. You first simply understand that the subway is their upgraded version of the vehicle, which can carry more at the same time.

That’s all.” Gu Mo glanced ahead and quickly explained.

Although his explanations are not accurate at all, they are the most suitable style for today's miko, allowing her to quickly understand various novel things and form a basic general understanding of the modern world.

Perhaps this can also prepare for future plans...

Such an idea flashed through his mind. Gu Mo didn't think about it in detail. He just stretched out his hands and looked around again. Wherever his gaze swept, he accidentally met many pairs of eyes.

, they immediately looked away in panic.

Regarding the "inconspicuous", "easy to be ignored", and "low sense of presence" strange qualities he acquired during the process of deification in the previous world, they were not able to play their due role in this situation.<

/p>

Because it is an inadvertent influence after all, which can make him more likely to be ignored without being noticed in the first place, leaving him in a psychological blind spot. But if others are affected for some reason,

If you have shifted your focus...

Then this characteristic will naturally lose its effect. It is impossible to force people to ignore his existence.

Just like at Higurashi's house before, Grandpa Higurashi heard him or the sound of the scabbard, and knew that there was someone in the storage room. When he opened the storage room, he naturally discovered his presence for the first time...

Because I’ve noticed it, that’s what it is.

It's the same now. If Gu Mo was wandering around this street at night, there would definitely be no problem.

But now he is walking side by side with the witch.

Therefore, after Platycodon has naturally attracted a lot of attention, it is impossible to say that others will ignore his existence. But the bad news is that he and Platycodon are walking together, and the good news is that he and Platycodon are walking together, so even though there are many small

The young people were all ready to make a move, but in the end no one could not figure it out.

The aura of the miko makes people look at her. I don’t know how many men who pretend to be calm can’t help but look back frequently after passing by as if nothing happened.

However, Gu Mo is not bad either. The passive charm brought by the Nine-Tails Possession alone is enough to crush it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Especially as he grows up and his attributes improve, correspondingly, his own

The "capacity" has become larger and can accommodate the greater power of the Nine-Tails, and these additional side effects have also been strengthened to some extent.

However, it is precisely because of this that the existence of the two people has become an obstacle to each other, preventing others from coming up to strike up a conversation.

It's not like Gu Mo hasn't seen some Shibuya hot girl style girls, probably quite outgoing girls, but they appeared in his sight several times, walking over aggressively as if to cheer themselves up, but they weren't even halfway there yet.

, couldn't help but feel discouraged, stared at the figure of the miko with great resentment, and chose to retreat.

Their own style is definitely quite bold, but in the face of Kikyo's unintentional suppression from all aspects, all their courage turned into a downturn.

Thinking of what he had experienced before entering this dungeon world, Gu Mo held his chin and nodded thoughtfully, so it was not without reason that he would be entangled. Those little girls relied on how bold they were, and they saw

By himself, he felt that he was easy to bully...

If you walk with a miko, you will definitely be able to effectively prevent such riotous incidents from happening.

"That's a shopping mall..."

Seeing that the witch slowed down again and her eyes were fixed on the commercial center opposite with a huge flow of people, Gu Mo explained thoughtfully again: "It is a place composed of various shops, where you can easily buy all kinds of things."

Basically everything is available..."

"Everything?"

"Yes, food, clothing, entertainment, all kinds of supplies that ordinary people need in life, basically everything they can think of can be bought in these places..."

Gu Mo nodded and twirled his fingers and said that he was naturally accustomed to this kind of place, but in the eyes of the witch, it was probably a place that deserved attention and surprised her... In fact, modern big cities

What aspect of  doesn’t surprise her?

He was even keenly aware of Kikyo's restraint. Just like before, she should not have cared about other people's strange eyes, let alone show that kind of wavering look towards him... Maybe she suddenly came to a person.

It is a completely unfamiliar world, and the past experience and knowledge cannot be used in the new environment.

If Kikyo was alone, she would still be the aloof and rigorous shrine maiden, and she would be able to handle it well.

But Gu Mo is here, someone she is familiar with. He can understand her and is more familiar with this strange world than she is. He can help her face this strange world better - people often don't have time to face this strange world.

Only when you can be relied on will you subconsciously choose to be strong, and vice versa.

"A shopping mall? This is really nice... I would rather say it's great."

Kikyo stared at the large shopping mall where the crowds of people in front of the main entrance were like ants, and countless people were coming in and out at all times. After a long while, she nodded gently and said.

Her tone was a bit inexplicable, as if she was envious, but Gu Mo knew that she was not starting from her own perspective, but from the entire era she lived in... Because in that time of war and chaos, hunger and cold were the norm, and people

In this era of precarious life, it is difficult to imagine such a thing.

"Should we go in and take a look?" Gu Mo thought and tentatively issued an invitation. From his later perspective, he actually felt that shopping malls in this era were relatively backward, with a strong retro feel. After all,

Even mobile phones are still in the era of Motorola.

But he wasn't allowed to read it in the first place, so he still relied on the witch's opinion.

After pondering for a moment, Kikyo nodded gently.

But before she took two steps, she suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction with a slight frown. Gu Mo didn't feel anything at first, but the possessed Kyuubi also had an early warning, and he looked along the direction of Kikyo.

direction, his mental power also spread out, and he quickly detected the source of hostility.

"Maybe it was attracted by the breath of the Shikon Jade, but the number is so small, the monsters in this era should be very rare..."

Gu Mo didn't pay attention to the red dots that appeared on the mini-map, but just analyzed them casually.

What appeared was just some miscellaneous fish, and the magnitude was not higher. He no longer had to worry about threats of this level.

"Let's deal with them first..."

Kikyo spoke calmly. Although the demonic energy that appeared was very weak, there were too many ordinary people around. Once a battle broke out, she was afraid that innocent people would be affected, so she advocated taking the initiative to eliminate the invading demons first.

"I don't think there is any need to worry. The monsters in this era must have their own way of survival. Since people have regarded them as legends, it means that they have not appeared for a long time. Blatantly launching attacks in public places...

This kind of thing will not happen..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Gu Mo's attitude seemed a bit noncommittal.

Except for the man-eating mask that was formed during the Warring States Period but was only awakened in the modern world. It didn't understand the rules of this era at all and attacked people without any scruples. There are basically no other similar examples.

...This situation can explain a lot of problems.

After all, human beings have been making progress, and modern thermal weapons are not free. Except for those big monsters that have been at the top of the food chain since ancient times, the vast majority of monsters and monsters cannot withstand the firepower of modernization... It is not that there are no monsters.

Brains, they naturally have their own way of survival.

"We are bringing the Four Souls Jade..." the miko said calmly.

Maybe the monsters in this era do have their own tricks, but she doesn't plan to take risks, and the two of them are carrying the Shikon Jade. Maybe those monsters will go crazy because of this thing.

Who can be sure that they will still abide by the original set of rules?

"OK, OK, let's come back and take a look. Anyway, it won't take long to clean it up..."

Gu Mo nodded obediently. As he spoke, he was already standing on the side of the road, reaching out to hail a taxi.

"It's not too late, let's set off now." Gu Mo reached out to open the door on one side, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile, and asked her to get in the car first like a gentleman.

"..."

"..."

The witch was silent for a while, her eyes wandering back and forth between the novelty of the taxi and this person. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she didn't move for a long time.

"Or are you going to walk, Kikyo?"

Gu Mo showed a helpless expression: "This metropolitan area is very big, and I'm not too familiar with it. I don't know where I can find a suitable place to do it..."

This is Tokyo, not Fuyuki City. As one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, it is not comparable to the latter's small coastal towns in remote places. There is no such thing as "anything can be held in the city without anyone knowing".

"Holy Grail War" conditions.

Kikyo was finally persuaded by him and got into the taxi with some unfamiliarity. Gu Mo went around to the other side and got in the car, closing the door.

"Excuse me, where are you two going?"

The driver asked from the front, and glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror. While sighing in his heart, he couldn't help but glance at the weapons of the two... The witch was carrying a bow behind her back, and the young man had a simple-style weapon on his waist.

The straight knife suddenly made me murmur in my heart.

But it should be something like that, cosplay or something like that. Ever since the animation industry successfully held a large number of animation exhibitions and game exhibitions in the past few years and used such tricks to attract people, the costume culture seems to have suddenly become

It’s becoming popular.

"This...is there any place that is so remote that no one would go there?" Gu Mo replied, "Just send us there."

Very remote...

No one will go...

Then what are you planning to do when you go to a place like that...

The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced at the quiet miko through the rearview mirror. While being amazed again, he also felt heartbroken and wanted to stamp his feet and beat his chest... Damn! Damn! Damn it!

It's so hateful, can this damn guy explode?

Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the driver took deep breaths several times, trying to keep his voice calm: "Please, please fasten your seat belt...two, two."

"Okay..."

Gu Mo glanced at the driver in front of him strangely. Why did his speech suddenly become obviously paused, as if he was trying to suppress something?

But he didn't care, he just turned to look in the direction of Kikyo and said with a smile: "Fasten your seat belt... Do you want help?"

"Yeah."

Although he was a little confused, he glanced at the driver in the front seat and found that Kikyo, who was still too unfamiliar with vehicles, still nodded.
