Chapter 10
Master~ It's time to replenish your mana.
For the next period of time, Izumi Takumi lived his life in an orderly manner, studying the inheritance of the lower-ranking Onmyoji every day after school.
He also learned from the Yukimura sisters that there were only some clues about Kotoko Morishita's younger sister, and that further investigation was needed.
Yukimura Yuri also used that cursed little man to obtain a lot of cultivation resources and talismans from the Yin-Yang Bureau.
However, his best friend Kato Kazuma has been behaving strangely lately.
Judging from his expression, he looked like he had suffered a severe setback.
Is it envy that you can be friends with the Yukimura sisters?
To comfort his friend, Izumi Takumi even took him to sing karaoke.
After having a pleasant time, the two left the KTV.
"Takumi, why do you always choose to sing theme songs from two-dimensional anime?"
Izumi Takumi sighed inwardly at Kazuma Kato's doubts.
Unfortunately, although he had been in this world for quite some time, the only Japanese songs he knew were the theme songs from anime he had seen in his previous life, and some Japanese songs that were popular all over the world.
Because this is a parallel world, there are some songs that it doesn't have yet.
To avoid spoiling the atmosphere, he chose some catchy songs to sing.
Turning to look at Kazuma Kato, Takumi Izumi said seriously, "What's wrong with the world of anime?"
While the two were arguing, a black sedan suddenly stopped in front of them.
Kazuma Kato glanced at the license plate number instinctively, and his expression changed, becoming much more somber.
Takumi Izumi hadn't noticed anything amiss, assuming it was just someone wanting to get off at the intersection.
But Kato Kazuma suddenly stepped in front of him, turned around and smiled at him: "Takumi, you should go home first. I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do, so I'm afraid I can't go to eat ramen with you."
This unusual behavior naturally aroused Izumi Takumi's suspicion.
Because Kazuma Kato had been talking about ghosts and monsters, Takumi Izumi also tried to see his friend with his psychic abilities, but to no avail.
However, it's not hard to deduce that this friend of mine must have some connection with the Yin-Yang realm.
Trusting Kazuma Kato, Izumi Takumi gave a soft "hmm" and then turned to leave.
But he was thinking in his mind.
"Kazuma started acting strangely after seeing that black sedan. Who was in that car?"
"His parents? His fiancée? Or perhaps someone from the Yin-Yang Bureau?"
Watching Izumi Takumi walk into the underground station, Kazuma Kato finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the lowered train window and shouted, "Didn't the Yukimura family warn you not to touch her people?"
Kato Kazuma slowly stepped forward, his expression unfriendly: "Do you really want to completely break ties with the yokai?"
In the passenger seat sat a muscular man wearing sunglasses and a white vest.
The man took the cigarette out of his mouth, flicked off the ash, exhaled, and then laughed, "My foolish brother, who said I was going to harm him? I just wanted to invite him to the Yin-Yang Bureau for some tea."
"Whether it's true or not, you know the answer in your heart." Kato Kazuma scratched his hair in frustration. "Why did it turn out like this? Every time I ask you, you say it's not the right time for me to know. Then when am I even worthy to know?"
The man tossed the cigarette out of the car and exhaled again: "You'll find out when you don't want to know anymore."
The car window slowly rolled up, and the man's last words came through it.
"Tell your friend that if he doesn't want to be come knocking on our door, he should stop helping the Yukimura family. We would also welcome him to join us."
The black sedan drove away.
Kazuma Kato, with a slightly bewildered expression, was left standing there.
……
Meanwhile, back home, Izumi Takumi took out his phone and sent several messages to Kato Kazuma.
Seeing that he still hadn't read it after a long time, he could only put his phone down for the time being, take out the inheritance scroll that Yukimura Yuri had given him, and immerse his spiritual power into it.
It will probably take quite a while to fully grasp this heritage.
Moreover, the inheritance he possesses is quite unique.
Izumi Takumi learned from Yukimura Yuri that there are many lineages of Onmyoji in the world. Some lineages specialize in magic, some specialize in physical skills, and some unorthodox lineages specialize in raising ghosts.
The Yin-Yang Bureau's lineage is to extract the essence and discard the dross, combining many traditions together. They know a little about everything, but can only know a little about everything.
If you want to learn more deeply, you have to exchange your achievements for a better legacy.
The legacy that Izumi Takumi possesses is dedicated to shikigami (spirits/spirits).
"This thing is great, it lets you gang up on everyone, who's going to fight you one-on-one?"
Izumi Takumi had already imagined that when he fought against the demons, he would simply wave his hand and countless shikigami would appear behind him. Then he would protect the shikigami in front of him and win the battle.
Hehehehe.
"What are you grinning about?" Kotoko Morishita, who was watching TV, turned her head and gave Takumi Izumi a disapproving look.
The latter coughed lightly twice and straightened his expression.
Dreams are ideal, but reality is cruel.
Izumi Takumi realized that mastering the way of shikigami was a long and arduous journey.
Seeing that Izumi Takumi had stopped cultivating, Morishita Kotoko immediately leaned over and whispered sweetly in his ear, "Master~ it's time to replenish your mana."
Takumi Izumi, whose ears were itchy, shrank his neck, touched the goosebumps on his arms, and immediately cursed, "Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?"
A few days ago, after Izumi Takumi tried to transfer some spiritual energy into Morishita Kotoko's body, he found that it made Morishita Kotoko's spirit body more solid and her range of movement also increased.
Before, we could only wander around inside the house, but now we can go out into the yard.
Having discovered a new continent, Morishita Kotoko then became attached to Izumi Takumi, acting cute and charming every day in order to obtain a little bit of spiritual power from him.
The key point is that she is also very sensible. She always comes over when she has free time after finishing her own work.
Izumi Takumi is easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, and he can't stand this kind of behavior.
"Tch, you little virgin." Morishita Kotoko was utterly speechless. "Aren't you planning to find a girlfriend and enjoy your youth?"
Izumi Takumi rolled his eyes, grabbed Morishita Kotoko's hand, and began channeling spiritual energy into her body.
"Go away, you're not even human anymore, why are you gossiping about my love life?"
To transfer spiritual energy, the two must be connected.
Feeling warm all over, Morishita Kotoko glanced at the two holding hands and then laughed, "You stingy little thing, I'm just concerned about you, you know? Who told you to be so clueless? I don't want my master to grow old alone."
"When did I become your master?" Izumi Takumi asked, puzzled.
Kotoko Morishita gave Izumi Takumi's reaction a knowing smile.
"You are the owner of this house, and I am the earthbound spirit of this house, so aren't you my master? I can grant any request you make~"
"That makes sense, but you're a spirit, you can't help with anything."
"I can warm your bed."
"No, once you go in, the bed will feel like an ice cave from the Ice Age. Last time you sneaked in, I thought the Haier Brothers were coming to sleep with me."
"..."
Kotoko Morishita fell into a long silence.
Destroy those stinky straight men!
