Sister’s Education

"No, no, no, fighting ten is still too much." Yukimura Mashiro put down her phone and calmly remarked to the confident Izumi Takumi, "With your current physical abilities, you're no different from a weakling."

Although Yukimura Yuri didn't say anything, her expression clearly showed that she agreed with her younger sister.

Shrugging, Izumi Takumi looked at Yukimura Yuri: "What time is it? How long have I been in this spiritual awakening state?"

"It's 5 p.m. now. You've been awakened for five hours. I've already asked for leave for you this afternoon in the name of the student council president, saying you're helping out at the student council."

Izumi Takumi's school is a private high school, and coupled with Yukimura Yuri's background, the student council has a lot of influence.

Seeing that Yukimura Yuri was actually getting things done, the school was happy to take it easy and promptly delegated authority to her.

"So, is my awakening speed considered fast or slow?"

Izumi Takumi was very curious about this, thinking that his talent should be pretty good, right?

After hesitating for a moment, Yukimura Yuri decided to tell the truth.

"You completed the spiritual awakening in just five minutes. The rest of the time was spent absorbing spiritual energy into your body, which, strictly speaking, does not count as part of the spiritual awakening time."

"Five minutes... Well, my talent must be pretty good, right?" Upon hearing Yukimura Yuri's reply, Izumi Takumi rubbed his chin.

Based on the online novels I've read before, geniuses all achieve enlightenment in seconds.

So, I must be only below genius level?

"What's so great about it? Your talent is so strong, why are you being so modest?" Yukimura Mashiro yelled, "I really want to punch the heads of all you talented freaks!"

"Me? A prodigy?" He looked at Yukimura Yuri again, confused, and she immediately explained it to him.

After saying that, Yukimura Yuri handed another scroll to Izumi Takumi: "This is the inheritance of a lower-level Onmyoji. You can read it by immersing your spiritual power into the scroll. Once you have a basic grasp of its contents, you will be a lower-level Onmyoji."

Excitedly taking the scroll, Izumi Takumi heard Yukimura Yuri asking him a question again.

"Would you like to join an Onmyoji guild?"

Upon hearing this question, both Izumi Takumi and Yukimura Mashiro were taken aback.

"This is?"

"elder sister!"

Using her eyes to quiet Yukimura Mashiro down, Yukimura Yuuri said calmly, "I don't want you to resent me in the future. To be honest, with your talent, you could thrive even if you joined the Onmyo Bureau. So, do you still want to stay here with us?"

"Consider this the lower-level Onmyoji inheritance I'm giving you, as a token of friendship. If you ever become a great Onmyoji, please show mercy to the Yukimura family."

That's all I have to say. You can tell me your answer tomorrow.

Ignoring Mashiro Yukimura's anxious gaze, Yuri Yukimura sat back down on the sofa.

She is a proud person, and she will not chain someone who does not want to stay here just for her own benefit.

Moreover, their positions are fundamentally different.

"President Yuri, you're underestimating me far too much."

Takumi Izumi toyed with the scroll in his hand, glanced at the Yukimura sisters, and chuckled, "Joining the official organization must involve following a lot of rules, right? If I stay, do I need to follow any rules?"

"As long as it's not illegal or disorderly, I will support you," Yukimura Yuri replied.

"Hmm, but it's the Onmyo Bureau after all. Joining it should get you some powerful items, right?" Seeing the growing disappointment in Yukimura Mashiro's eyes, Izumi Takumi changed his tone: "However, I refuse! I choose to continue cooperating with you."

Yukimura Mashiro exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey! Shouldn't we normally join an Onmyoji guild?!"

"Do you want me to stay or not...?" After complaining, Izumi Takumi explained why he was staying: "Although we've only spent less than two days together, I think you two are trustworthy. Although I don't know how the Yukimura family is doing, I think it's worth taking a gamble for the sake of you two."

"So please invest in me, and I will give you a return that will satisfy you."

……

After Izumi Takumi left, Yukimura Mashiro suddenly jumped up from the sofa and hugged Yukimura Yuri tightly.

"Sister, sister, did you hear that?! He said we're trustworthy!"

Yukimura Yuri's lips also curled up slightly.

As a yokai who had been discriminated against by Onmyoji for many years, this was the first time she had felt such obvious kindness from a human.

Yukimura Mashiro rubbed her face against Yukimura Yuri and said in a cheeky tone, "Sister~ Now, is my suggestion worth considering?"

Upon hearing this, Yukimura Yuri blushed and naturally recalled what Yukimura Mashiro had said yesterday.

"Sister, you should know why I came here, right?"

"Sister, it's been a year since your bloodline awakened. Your heat cycle should be coming soon, right?"

"I'm checking on you based on your mother's instructions. So, have you found a suitable partner for dual cultivation?"

The mating season is a defect that occurs after a monster awakens its bloodline; it only appears one year after the bloodline awakens.

They must have intercourse with a human during their estrus period, otherwise it will affect their mental state and even cause a significant drop in their physical strength.

If no intercourse occurs during the estrus period, it can lead to a decrease in the purity of one's bloodline and affect one's foundation.

Just yesterday, Yukimura Mashiro suggested that Izumi Takumi be Yukimura Yuri's partner for dual cultivation.

"Since he's an Onmyoji serving the Yukimura family, and you haven't taken a liking to any yokai or humans, why don't you just go find him? You can gain a lot of benefits from dual cultivation with an Onmyoji~"

Yukimura Yuri originally dismissed this matter.

But today I witnessed Izumi Takumi's talent, and his performance just now...

To be honest, Yukimura Yuri was indeed somewhat tempted.

"Oh! It's my sister's shy expression! It's been so long since I've seen that!"

Yukimura Mashiro smiled and tried to pinch her older sister's cheek, but Yukimura Yuri slapped her hand away.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

"whee."

After their playful banter, Yukimura Mashiro brought up Izumi Takumi's last request: "By the way, sister, the person Izumi-kun asked us to investigate is named Morishita Kotoko, right?"

"Yes, Morishita Kotoko died in a car accident. Because she couldn't bear to leave her younger sister, she became a bound spirit. Izumi wants to help her resolve her obsession."

"So we need to find out where Morishita Kotoko's sister is living now, right? We need to find a way to reunite the two sisters."

Pushing Yukimura Mashiro aside, Yukimura Yuri straightened her wrinkled clothes and said softly, "I'll look into it, so don't worry about it."

"Oh, sister, here you go again! You could rely on your cute and reliable little sister more often."

"hehe."

"Sister! What do you mean?!"

"It doesn't mean anything, I just think you, Mashiro, still lack self-awareness."

"Ahhh, when you and Izumi-kun practice together, I'll definitely sneak a picture of you!"

Yukimura Yuri: "?"

"First of all, I never said I wanted to cultivate with him. Secondly, I think you haven't been taught a lesson in a long time."

"Sister, don't come any closer! I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!!!"
