Miko and Evil Spirits, the Best Match!
Along with the knocking, Miko's Mom called out, "Miko, get up quickly, Hana is coming to play with you."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko didn't have time to think anymore. She quickly got up and dressed, calling out as she did so:
"Okay, Mom. Tell Hana to wait a bit. I'll get ready first."
Upon hearing this, Miko's Mom said, "Okay, then you'd better hurry up! Don't keep Hana waiting."
Yotsuya Miko replied, "Okay, Mom, it'll be ready soon."
After hearing the answer, Miko's Mom nodded and then left Yotsuya Miko's bedroom.
After all, she hadn't finished cooking yet, so she couldn't leave the kitchen for too long.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Yotsuya Miko quickly got dressed, tidied up the bedroom and bed, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
The speed was so fast that it was almost dazzling.
However, some things cannot be done quickly simply by being fast, such as tidying up a room and fixing one's makeup.
Sure enough, by the time Yotsuya Miko had finished tidying everything up, more than half an hour had passed.
Upon entering the living room, Yotsuya Miko immediately spotted her best friend, Yuri River Hua, lounging on the sofa, snacking and watching TV.
Yotsuya Miko quickly called out, "Hana!"
Hearing the voice, Yuri River Hua turned around and saw Yotsuya Miko. She was overjoyed and said, "Oh! Miko, you're finally done. I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko blushed and apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry, Hana, I kept you waiting. I didn't sleep well last night, so I got up a little late today."
Although the disturbance from a certain Light Screen Ghost these past few days has prevented Yotsuya Miko from getting a good night's sleep, causing her to wake up late these past few days.
However, there is no doubt that the reason her friend was kept waiting was her own fault, so Yotsuya Miko did not shirk responsibility, but instead apologized generously.
When Yuri River Hua saw Yotsuya Miko suddenly apologize, she waved her hands and explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant that Auntie has already prepared the meal and is waiting for you."
After saying that, Yuri River Hua unconsciously swallowed, as if she had remembered some incredibly delicious food.
Yotsuya Miko saw this, she was first taken aback, and then she was both amused and exasperated:
I thought you were going to say I was slow and arrived a little late.
Was it because I couldn't wait to eat?
This dedication to food... truly befits you, Hana!
Yuri River Hua noticed the change in Yotsuya Miko's eyes and immediately realized that Yotsuya Miko had guessed her thoughts. Her face turned pink in an instant.
"Um, that, Miko, I..."
"Hana, Miko, dinner's ready."
Just as Yuri River Hua was about to explain, Miko's Mom seemed to have heard Yotsuya Miko's voice and peeked out from the kitchen.
Upon seeing Yotsuya Miko's figure, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Okay, Mom."
"Thank you, Auntie."
When faced with the Miko's Mom's call, the two responded almost in unison.
As soon as she finished answering Miko's Mom's question, Yuri River Hua felt a gaze that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling directed at her.
Yotsuya Miko: ()——> Yuri River Hua: =()!!!
Yuri River Hua's face immediately stiffened:
Oh no, I couldn't resist when I heard it was time to eat, and I gave myself away...
But you can't blame me, can you? It's just that my aunt's cooking is so delicious...
Waaah, I'm so embarrassed in front of my best friend...
"Pfft... Hana, we're like family, don't I know you? Why are you hiding anything from me?"
Seeing Yuri River Hua's eyes starting to dart around and the faint steam rising from her head, Yotsuya Miko appropriately stopped what she was doing.
When joking with friends, it's important to maintain a balance; otherwise, what you perceive as a small joke can easily become the beginning of a broken friendship.
Fortunately, Yotsuya Miko is very good at controlling the degree of these kinds of jokes.
After saying that, Yotsuya Miko extended her hand to Yuri River Hua and invited her, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat together."
Upon hearing this, Yuri River Hua grasped Yotsuya Miko's hand, sniffed deeply, and said with a moved expression, "Miko..."
"Alright, alright, let's go."
Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko quickly interrupted Yuri River Hua's emotional outburst and pulled Yuri River Hua towards the dining table.
She's not good at handling these kinds of things (emotional appeals).
Afterwards, thanks to Miko's Mom's superb culinary skills, everyone at the table enjoyed the meal immensely.
Whether it's Miko's Mom, Yotsuya Miko, Yuri River Hua, or that group of Evil Spirits...
That's right, it's Evil Spirits.
(Where there are Miko, how can there be no Evil Spirits?)
Miko and Evil Spirits is the best combination!
While Miko and the others were eating, some Evil Spirits attracted by Yuri River Hua gathered around them.
Note: Yuri River Hua has an extremely strong life force and will unconsciously attract Evil Spirits.
After the Evil Spirits arrived beside the group, they unsurprisingly went back to their old ways, questioning each of them as they ate:
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
Hell is empty, all the devils are here on earth!
This scene is like a Hellscape Illustration.
If an ordinary person witnessed this scene, they would surely scream to vent their fear, only to be swarmed by a group of Evil Spirits and devoured.
However, Yotsuya Miko is no ordinary person. Ever since she opened her Yin-Yang Eyes, she has been training her heart under various extreme conditions.
Although she was forced into it, under that immense pressure, Yotsuya Miko still developed a signature skill that allowed her to remain outwardly calm despite her inner fear.
It was precisely because of this that Yotsuya Miko was able to finish the meal without changing her expression, even though she was sitting on pins and needles.
Breakfast is over.
After helping Miko's Mom clean up the mess at the dinner table, Yotsuya Miko and Yuri River Hua started discussing where they should go to play later.
Yuri River Hua came to Miko with the intention of getting her to go out and play together.
Therefore, even though Yotsuya Miko didn't really want to go out (to see ghosts).
But in order not to disappoint her best friend, she eventually agreed to go out.
"How about we go explore a haunted house?"
On the sofa, Yotsuya Miko looked at Yuri River Hua with anticipation in her eyes.
The reason for this expectation is not because Yotsuya Miko likes going to haunted houses.
Having awakened her Yin-Yang Eyes and been tormented by Evil Spirits for so long, how could she possibly like something like a haunted house filled with terrifying Element?
But then again, if Yotsuya Miko doesn't like haunted houses, then why would she look forward to a haunted house adventure?
That's because Yotsuya Miko felt that only in a haunted house could she fully release her repressed emotions and relieve the fear that had accumulated in her daily life.
Therefore, although she is terrified of Evil Spirits, Yotsuya Miko is very interested in activities such as haunted house exploration.
"Ugh, another haunted house?"
"You're really obsessed with haunted house adventures, Miko, Zi!"
Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's suggestion, Yuri River Hua's bright smile immediately dimmed.
Haunted house, haunted house, haunted house...
Lately, whenever I ask Miko to go out to play, she suggests going to a haunted house.
Does Miko really enjoy haunted house adventures?
Something's not right.
She screamed louder than anyone else in the haunted house!
How could someone who's so afraid of ghosts possibly enjoy haunted house adventures?
Ms. Yuri River Hua said she really couldn't understand it.
However, Ms. Yuri River Hua knew very well that regardless of whether she could understand it or not, she didn't want to go to the haunted house again.
So Yuri River Hua, with a pained expression, looked at Yotsuya Miko and pleaded pitifully:
"Miko ~ Let's change it, aren't you tired of it? We've been going to haunted houses so many times lately, I'm sick of it."
"If you really like thrills, we can go to an amusement Paradise. Roller coasters, bungee jumping, giant swing rides... these activities are all pretty exciting."
"Is it okay~"
When Yuri River Hua didn't want to go on the haunted house adventure, Yotsuya Miko looked disappointed.
However, after hearing Yuri River Hua's suggestion, Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up immediately:
Yes!
Why does she always focus on haunted houses?
If you want to scream and release your emotions, those thrilling and exciting extreme activities at amusement Paradise seem to be able to do it, and even do it better!
Moreover, this way you can vent your emotions while playing around, which is much better than haunted houses filled with terrifying Element!
As for the claim that haunted house adventures can strengthen willpower, while sports and recreational activities only lead to a loss of ambition...
Hehe...
Yotsuya Miko felt that her will had been tempered strong enough by those Evil Spirits, and she didn't need much further training.
Moreover, strictly speaking, haunted house exploration was merely a way for her to distract herself.
In essence, this method is self-deception.
Since it's all self-deception anyway, why not choose a method that makes you feel better? Why resort to self-torture?
The more Yotsuya Miko eyes became. She felt that she had been wasting her time exploring haunted houses in the past.
After Yuri River Hua saw that Yotsuya Miko had been keeping her head down and not saying a word.
He thought that Yotsuya Miko didn't like his suggestion.
So, although Yuri River Hua was inwardly groaning, she still waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Of course, if you really don't want to, Miko, we can go to the haunted house, but..."
Before Yuri River Hua could finish speaking, Yotsuya Miko looked up and interrupted her, "No need, let's go to the amusement Paradise today. After hearing what you said, Hana, I'm also interested in those activities."
"Very good..."
Upon hearing this, Yuri River Hua cheered, instinctively adding the second half of the sentence in her mind:
'Finally, I don't have to go to the haunted house today.'
Because I knew that everything in the haunted house was fake, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts.
Therefore, Yuri River Hua actually doesn't have much of an opinion about activities like exploring haunted houses.
But humans are creatures that are prone to getting bored with the old and crave the new.
You get tired of anything after experiencing it a lot, even activities like haunted house adventures, which are designed to stimulate your emotions.
So, after participating in so many haunted house adventures, Yuri River Hua was already tired of this activity.
However, because her best friend liked haunted house adventure games, she kept quiet about it and never expressed it.
Fortunately, she finally managed to persuade her best friend to pull her attention away from the haunted house adventure today.
Yuri River Hua: It wasn't easy (╥_╥)...
After finalizing their itinerary for the day, the two women began preparing what they would bring when they went out.
Clothes, tissues, sunglasses, sunscreen spray, handbag...
Of course, among the things that need to be prepared, there is also the most coveted and essential item for Yuri River Hua – food.
Once everything was ready.
After changing into a light blue Yotsuya Miko suitable for exercise, Yuri River Hua, who was already eating.
"Mom/Auntie, Hana / Miko and I went out together!"
"Okay, you two be careful out there."
After saying goodbye to Miko's Mom, the two women went straight out and walked slowly towards the amusement Paradise.
"Miko, what do you think we should play later?"
While eating her donut, Yuri River Hua enthusiastically listed the amusement Paradise rides to Yotsuya Miko:
"Roller coasters, Ferris wheels, mazes, cinemas..."
"Wow, there are so many things to do! It's not easy to come to an amusement Paradise, I want to try them all. Anyway, we still have time, why don't we try them all?"
"Hmm... no, no, today is Sunday, there will definitely be a lot of people at the amusement Paradise, so in that case, we probably won't be able to experience everything."
"Hmm... if that's the case, then we'll have to be careful with our selection."
Yuri River Hua's face beamed with excitement as she spoke at length about her plans.
Although food was constantly in his mouth, his speech was remarkably clear.
Passersby couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of this amazing skill.
Meanwhile, Yotsuya Miko, watching Yuri River Hua's enthusiastic and cheerful demeanor, did not reply.
Instead, she secretly envied her best friend's "ignorance."
It's so good to not see Evil Spirits! Every day is so easy!
If she couldn't see those things either, then her life would probably be just like Hana's, happy every day, right?
