"First time meeting, Keisuke Aoi, do you mind being a single mother taking care of your child?"
Qing Keisuke:?
Chizuru Shiraishi did not hesitate to reward his younger siblings with a chestnut.
"Let me be considerate of your husband, but he sets off to the harbor to load cargo at four in the morning!"
"Ah haha~ Just kidding." Komatsuda Miki touched her head and said with a smile: "But having said that, Aoi Keisuke-san is so handsome that even housewives can't help but want to know him."<
/p>
"Thank you."
"This high school handsome guy is aloof and handsome at the same time."
Komatsuda Miki dodged Shiraishi Chizuru's fist and laughed: "Today is Saturday, so don't worry so much. Is it Aoi Keisuke-san?"
Reiko Shiraishi's ability to talk is probably partly due to this lady's words and deeds.
Let’s talk about seats for four people:
On both sides of the short square table, towards the door, sat Miki Komatsuda and Reiko Shiraishi. Reiko, who had fallen down, was completely honest and did not even interrupt in this topic.
On the other side sat Chizuru Shiraishi and Keisuke Aoi.
"You don't have to worry about me. After all, I took the liberty of disturbing you." Qing Keisuke focused on eating while dealing with the curious young mother.
Slightly sweet white porridge, soft boiled dried sweet lily and white fungus, wrapped in batter, and fried to just the right amount of small fish, crispy and sweet, but still tender and juicy inside.
Delicious!
It’s really surprising how home-cooked side dishes can have such a texture and taste.
"How about it? The food made by our Chizuru is delicious, isn't it?" Miki Komatsuda said proudly: "She almost didn't even go to school in order to study cooking skills."
"Oh?" Qing Keisuke became a little interested: "Why?"
"Why?" Komatsuda Miki glanced at Shiraishi Chizuru: "Let her speak for herself."
"What's there to say?"
Chizuru Shiraishi flipped her hair proudly: "I'm just interested in how food tastes when cooked!"
Little Baishi actually made such an arrogant and imposing declaration!
Qing Keisuke couldn't help but look at her twice, and then remembered the look in Shiraishi Chizuru's eyes that he saw on the rooftop that night.
I recognize this talent!
Qing Keisuke added another bowl of porridge for himself and praised him without hesitation: "If Dr. Shiraishi opened a restaurant, I would be willing to eat there every day."
"Me too~" Komatsuda Miki raised her hands in agreement.
"You two guys, this is not why I learned to cook!"
"Hahaha!"
Pleasant morning, except Reiko Shiraishi, the guests and the host are enjoying themselves.
After clearing the dining table, Aoi Keisuke and Shiraishi Chizuru left together - after a night, the grandma whose family was so powerful must have calmed down.
Walking on the still quiet street, Shiraishi Chizuru followed Aoi Keisuke's pace and felt that the Demon King was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"Qinggui-san, in the field of mysticism...do I really not have that kind of talent?"
"To be precise, having no talent does not mean there is no hope." Qing Keisuke thought about it and said, "The easiest way is to die and then transform into an evil spirit."
Chizuru Shiraishi:???
The female doctor clenched her fists: "Other than death!"
"Go burn incense and worship Buddha more often, and maybe a crazy god will give you divine power."
"God...?! Wait, don't deal with me!"
Qing Keisuke stopped, looked at her, and said at his usual speed: "Although the possibility is not even one in hundreds of thousands, I am not perfunctory with you."
"Eh?!" Shiraishi Chizuru shrank her neck: "Then is there really a god in this world?"
Qing Keisuke smiled coldly: "It depends on how you understand the creature of 'god'. If you mean a god who can fulfill your wishes by worshiping him, then it is most likely just a joke.
But if we only measure it by strength, maybe there really are gods."
Chizuru Shiraishi was greatly shocked when he heard this. After struggling for a while, he asked: "What other ways are there besides these two?"
"There is one last way." Qing Keisuke laughed as if he had expected it: "It is also my favorite way."
"What? What is it?"
"Kill those monsters and bathe in their spirituality."
When Chizuru Shiraishi heard this, his expression suddenly became very exciting.
"How about it, do you suddenly feel that the first two suggestions are also good?"
"No...what was spirituality before this?"
Qing Keisuke doesn't have to think at all: "You can understand spirituality as the necessary materials for casting spells and the source of miracles. Whether it is magic, spells or curses, spirituality is the foundation of it all.
What you can’t feel is the key to mysticism.”
"Key?"
"Want to take a look?" Qing Keisuke suddenly asked.
Chizuru Shiraishi was scared and moved: "Is it okay?"
"Thank you for today's breakfast." Lord Demon King pointed out.
He looked around and led Shiraishi Chizuru towards a small alley.
"Eh?"
"Follow up."
"Oh!"
Like a little hamster, Chizuru Shiraishi followed with small steps, but she was a little afraid that Aoi Keisuke would suddenly become animalistic.
Keisuke Aoi doesn't care about Chizuru Shiraishi's inner drama. If she chooses to refuse, that's fine!
But if he has the courage to keep up, he will never be stingy with a little spirituality.
After all, it’s just a little fun after dinner.
After turning many corners, the two of them soon came to a relatively old area. Even Shiraishi Chizuru didn't know where they were for a while.
"Be prepared."
Hearing Qing Keisuke's calm voice, she began to get nervous involuntarily: "What?"
"To see the radiance of spirituality."
Qing Keisuke led her into an old house that had been unoccupied for a long time. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and there were puddles of solidified black marks in the corners.
Even in the morning, I still feel the cool air blowing against my face.
Shiraishi Chizuru's hair started to stand up. At this moment, Qing Keisuke stretched out his right hand and gently pressed her forehead with two fingers.
"Close your eyes——"
A sigh-like sound sounded, and she immediately closed her eyes obediently. At this moment, Shiraishi Chizuru immediately felt a stream of heat gushing out from Qing Keisuke's fingertips.
Feeling so conspicuous in the cold environment, Shiraishi Chizuru's body trembled because of it, and she couldn't help but want to get close to these hands.
Qing Keisuke's fingertips touched her eyes, and the heat spread.
It seems like something has been turned on.
Chizuru Shiraishi felt the biting cold, heard the pitiful roar, and the strong wind blew away, taking away the warmth of her body.
"Open your eyes."
In just a moment, he used far more spirituality than needed to eliminate spirits, but Qing Keisuke didn't care at all. He was looking forward to Shiraishi Chizuru's expression——
Those beautiful, smart eyes contain a brilliance as tough as stone.
So what now?
Shiraishi Chizuru slowly opened her eyes, and she saw filthy black saliva dripping from the roof, and completely indescribable twisted shapes spread out on the building. Just seeing it took away all her strength.
The monster stared at her with countless pairs of malicious eyes, then opened its huge mouth, like a hollow arched in the mud, and rolled towards the two of them.
"Look clearly, Doctor Shiraishi, this is... the world you are curious about."
Aoi Keisuke looked at her with eyes that could see through Shiraishi Chizuru, admiring her pale face.
"Open your eyes wide, don't close them, treat this as the last breathtaking view you will see in this life."
Qing Keisuke turned forward and stood in front of Shiraishi Chizuru, with a satisfied smile on his face.
——It’s really interesting. He obviously has no talent, but he has such a strong curiosity about the mystery.
So much so that even if you know there is danger, you will subconsciously move forward.
Will this curiosity really not kill her?
But only this kind of person can cook such delicious meals in an understatement, right?
His back seemed to give Chizuru Shiraishi a little strength. She gasped hard, her eyes were sour but she couldn't help but look at the figure moving forward against the turbid current.
Qing Keisuke.
Facing the black tide, your body glows with golden light.
Saw it, spirituality——
All the coldness was dispelled, and in just a moment, it felt like it was a scorching noon, and even the ground became scorching hot.
"Boom——"
In a world she couldn't understand, all the filth instantly burst apart in the golden light. With the roar of thunder and thunder, the monster fell wailing, but before it hit the ground, its body was destroyed by the golden light.
Immediately afterwards, spirituality burst out, pure white brilliance rose from the ancient house, and a dream-like scene suddenly appeared in front of Shiraishi Chizuru.
The fear disappeared, and in an instant, I even felt moved, and tears finally fell involuntarily.
"So beautiful..."
Qing Keisuke walked up to her who was stunned, reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and looked at her expression at this time.
I took out my phone and took a photo as a souvenir.
"This is the mystery you've been waiting for, Dr. Shiraishi."
