On Friday, Arisukawa Asuka still asked for leave.
After a fulfilling week, the Demon King finally ushered in the first holiday in his life.
In the afternoon, Qing Keisuke declined the invitation to go out in the evening, sorted out the love letters in the shoe cabinet, nodded to the schoolgirl who confessed his love to him in the aisle, and set off for a store he found on a food review.
——What we are going to eat today is French food.
The location is located in Minato City, and the name of the store is "Passionate". From the reviews, it seems that it is a very good store. Qing Keisuke is looking forward to having a pleasant night.
Sitting on the tram, the sky was foggy, and soon it started to rain again.
Lines of rain fall on the windows of cars passing by at high speed, blurring the buildings in the distance and the neon lights blending together into strange colors.
Qing Keisuke looked away, the carriage was full.
Students, office workers, and tourists are all crowded together, making noisy noises.
All kinds of clothes, smells and hidden sights, friendly, malicious, and so on.
Because he was wearing a mask, he didn’t approach him to strike up a conversation.
There are three hot girls not far away, one has tanned skin from swimming, one has a gentle temperament and sweet appearance, and the last eldest sister has an unruly expression and is discussing loudly how to bully a pig boy in the class.
From time to time, the three of them burst into laughter that did not suit their temperament.
But in Qing Keisuke's eyes, they are all entangled with a gloomy spirituality. How much of what they say and do comes from their own hearts?
What a bad joke. He laughed and walked out of the house. The world seemed to become more and more exciting.
While driving at a rapid speed, Qing Keisuke could often feel the fleeting spirituality around him, which might be a target for him to hunt in the future.
——From this point of view, this is really a good city, or at least a good hunting ground.
Arriving at the destination, getting off the bus, following the flow of people and leaving the station, the figures of the hot girls disappeared from sight, and their laughter could only be vaguely heard.
A girl who loves to laugh will not be too pregnant.
Qing Keisuke took a taxi to the restaurant and followed the waiter to his reserved seat.
"Hmm...?"
"Good evening, Qinggui-kun, what a coincidence!"
Sitting on the other side of the seat is none other than the chief shrine maiden of the shrine, Kamabata Yui.
Tonight, she changed out of her witch robe and palace clothes and put on a stylish and beautiful T-shirt and hot pants. Her shiny black hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her white neck.
On the swollen chest, a little bear's head is painted on the light yellow top.
The lower part is stuffed into denim shorts, outlining a slender and graceful waist.
As for the snow-white long legs, most of them were hidden under the table. Only when Qing Keisuke looked at him did he poke out his feet wearing women's sandals and playfully greeted him with his toes.
"If you want to say it's a coincidence, it's not necessarily impossible."
Qing Keisuke sat down at the seat he reserved and didn't bother to argue with the waiter as to why he brought this woman to his table, but it wasn't a big problem——
After all, he is here to make a living.
Kamaba Yui smiled brightly, put her chin in her hands, and came closer: "Qinggui-kun, why do you come to a place like this to eat alone?"
"Of course it's for food."
Without raising his head, Qing Guijie took the menu and ordered the restaurant's main set menu for this season.
"Although I am very happy to be ignored by you like this!"
Kamaba Yui said complainingly: "But in this case, please show some gentlemanly manners and ask me what I want to eat?"
"Miss Shenba, do you know?
With the structure of the human body, if you don't eat for three days, you will enter a state of complete weakness."
Kamaba Yui:?
"The calories needed after exercise are close to 2,000 kcal (referring to myself)."
"A balanced diet is related to human health, and eating habits affect development and growth."
"So, if you still can't decide what you want to eat, then I would wonder if there is something wrong with your brain."
"Hey - what a sharp complaint." Yui Kamaba trembled: "Qinggui-kun, you...as expected...no, it's nothing, it's pretty good."
After ordering a vegetarian set meal for herself, Kamaba Yui put the menu back into the waiter's hand and waved him away.
"Does Qinggui-kun treat other girls like this?"
After hearing this, Qing Keisuke thought about it seriously. When he and Arisugawa Asuka had dinner together, they never seemed to consider this kind of problem.
Sure enough - Is Arisukawa's talent for dealing with people a little too strong?
Although the study committee member is acting like an ostrich now, it is just because of unexpected circumstances. It can't be Qing Keisuke's own problem, right?
Right?
"No, other girls are not as troublesome as you."
"That's too much!"
The process of French food is very long, and the serving speed is much slower than that of Teppanyaki.
So the two of them had plenty of time to chat, talking about things like how to solve the Kukai affair, what the mysterious world of Neon looks like, and what kind of fictional 'idol' like Kamen Rider exists.
"It's unbelievable. Qinggui-kun has never shown any talent before, but he was able to kill the fused evil spirit with one punch, and he also studied such an in-depth subject..."
Qing Keisuke laughed: "Isn't this our 'secret'?"
The secret that was insignificant at first will become more and more important the more he reveals it to Yui Kamaba!
This is the biggest problem with Keisuke Aoi sharing his secrets!
Of course, Kamaba Yui has already understood this. After learning everything, she risked her life and threw herself into this endless turbid river, allowing Keisuke Aoi to pollute it.
For her, big is good, and more is beautiful!
Kamaba Yui's face turned rosy, she bit her fork lightly with her teeth, and nodded slowly after a long time.
"So, do those things really exist?"
"Strictly speaking, these anomalies originating from human fantasy and literary and artistic works have a common name. We call them 'black jade shadows'.
Their level of magic is even higher than that of Onmyoji. If you want to use a more fashionable theory to describe it, it would probably be a 'quantum state'.
Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn’t exist, maybe it exists at this moment, maybe it has never taken effect since ancient times..."
Kamaba Yui pointed to her head: "When you feel it, the shadow has already arrived."
"Shen Shen Nao Nao."
Qing Keisuke shook his head and did not agree with this statement.
After all, these anomalies are all born from the collective consciousness. From this point of view, what is the difference between these so-called black jade phantoms and the gods in Gaoju Shrine?
It’s just a change of lighting effects. Could it still be so weird that even the body cannot be observed?
"But why is it called 'Black Jade'?"
"Ah...this is about an interesting past event."
Kamabata Yui covered her mouth and chuckled: "There used to be a young man in Yin Yang House who liked magical girls. Later, their team encountered danger. In order to save his companions, a certain 'ghost' answered his prayers.
..."
"Oh?"
"At that time, a black jade stone suddenly appeared in his hand, and he gained the ability to transform into a magical girl."
Ah this...
"May I ask, this is..."
Kamaba Yui understood clearly and said: "Male."
There was a look of envy in the eyes of the chief witch - it is so enviable to be able to show off her transvestism openly and wave a magic wand to fight monsters!
"Before this, the black jade phantom was called a 'spiritual monster', a 'holy spirit' or a 'spiritual equipment'."
