As time went by, only one commission remained.

Looking at the Konda Village commission, Ying also swung her somewhat stiff arms, collected the trophies on the ground, and headed towards the final destination.

"Ying, by the way, what is your final commission?"

"It's to ward off evil spirits."

When Ying said this, she didn't know if she was taking revenge for Paimon provoking her just now.

The whole person looked like a zombie, turning his head one after another as if his joints had become hardened.

After looking at Paimon, Ying suddenly opened her mouth.

"Wow!"

"Eaaah!"

"Peng~!"

Finally, I would like to mention a bullet from Paimon.

In other words, you have to be agile, otherwise you can have a dinner tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. But it's not all my fault. It's all my fault that you deliberately scared me."

"It was so dangerous, I almost thought the banquet was about to start."

Finally, in an awkward atmosphere, both Ying and Paimon apologized, and Kiana took back the pistol in Paimon's hand.

"By the way, Kiana, you are said to be very strong, but do you use firearms to attack?"

"Yes, I am the descendant of Kaslana family. I am proficient in Gun Fu. By shaking my arms when shooting, I can make the bullets turn."

"Hey, is it true?"

"Fake."

"Eh!!!"

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the place Konda Village mentioned in this commission, Paimon seemed to be scared and started chatting frantically, trying to keep the scene quiet.

And Kiana became the first choice person for Paimon to chat.

She couldn't help it, because she knew Ying. Although he was very reliable in big things, he was so arrogant in small things.

I'm afraid that if I hadn't just spoken to her, she would have taken the topic in a scary direction.

"Kiana, Kiana, is what you just said Gun Fu really false? Also, they all said that you are the sister of Lord Gongji. Who is Lord Gongji? Also, Kiana, aren't you an outsider like Ying? Why did you suddenly meet so many people in Inazuma?"

Paimon was chattering crazily, and Kiana wanted to stop Paimon from continuing to be Tang Monk, so he chose to perform what "Gun Fu" is.

In the expectant gazes of Paimon and Ying, a pair of exquisite pistols appeared in Kiana's hands, and then they suddenly fired without any warning.

But the bullet didn't turn, but...

Ying and Paimon have seen what the real "Gun Fu" is

Seeing those two bullets as if they were alive, drawing various curves in the air, both Ying and Paimon were stunned.

Even Paimon kept shaking his wrist, as if he wanted to analyze how "Gun Fu" was used.

But Ying shouted that it was unscientific.

Physics no longer exists!

Of course, shaking the gun to make the bullet turn around and cry is fake. (In reality) the magic is Chisiana's power to use the Law of the Sky, and she forcibly controls the trajectory of the bullet.

And when we arrived at the destination, looking at Konda Village issuing a commission, Kiana was said to be haunted by ghosts, and Remembrance woke up from the dust.

"Could it be that the so-called ghost is Hanachirusato?"

However, I don't know whether it's because Hanachirusato is not awake now, or because Kiana is here and not alone, so the other party didn't show up.

Ying waited here for a full quarter of an hour and saw that nothing happened before giving up.

"Let's go, go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow."

Kiana was a little sleepy. After saying goodbye to her, she just snapped her fingers and returned to Grand Narukami Shrine's room that belonged to her.

And Ying and Paimon looked at each other, "Kiana must have left too fast. If I had known, I would have asked her to see us off."

The two of them walked back along the original road towards the location of Inazuma City.

As soon as Kiana returned to the room, he found that the lights in his room were not turned off. On the contrary, all the lights in the room were on, and on the bed that originally belonged to him, there was a person lying there, reading the light novel he had placed there.

After noticing Kiana's return, she stretched lazily, and her fox eyes looked at Kiana unconsciously, looking charming and charming.

But Kiana really felt bad now. Just as he was about to leave again, Yae Miko behind him instantly approached and grabbed Kiana's arm.

"Little guy, it's so late, what do you want to do if you don't go home?"

"Woo!"

Looking at Yae Miko, whose face gradually darkened, Kiana experienced the feeling of approaching danger for the first time in a long time.

In order to protect himself, Kiana chose to act cute.

... Since that day, Kiana has not seen Ying again, and according to Remembrance, when going to the fox statue, Kiana has never seen any trace of Hanachirusato.

And the next time I heard news about the marriage, it would already be a week later.

It was another ordinary day. At dawn, Kiana was woken up by Yae Miko and had an exquisite and generous breakfast.

After finishing the meal, Yae Miko did not long for the old days, staying at Grand Narukami Shrine to read light novels, or teasing Miko who was working with a barbell, but said seriously to Kiana who had just finished breakfast:

"You stay here to look after the house today. I have something to do and may have to go out for a while."

"I'm just a bit worried. If you're quick, I'll be back to Master Ji when I'm here. I'll bring you dumplings with cow's chive milk and oily tofu."

"Even if it takes only one day, you will be able to see me again tomorrow morning at the latest."

"If someone comes to me, you can ask them to wait, or you can handle it yourself..."

Yae Miko repeatedly emphasized some precautions.

For example, don't go out and run around, don't stay up all night, and then leave Grand Narukami Shrine alone.

And Kiana watched Yae Miko leave, looked at the Mikos in Grand Narukami Shrine, yawned lazily, and planned to go back to the house to catch up on some sleep.

"There are so many problems. I've been here for so long and I haven't seen anyone come to Grand Narukami Shrine to solve the problem. How could it be possible that as soon as Yae Miko left, someone would come to visit us."

As a result, Kiana's crow's mouth took effect again.

Chapter 313 Exorcism Ritual

"Is Mr. Palace Secretary here?"

"What's wrong?"

Because Yae Miko was not there and Kiana was still catching up on sleep, Inagi Hotomi as Miko came to the two visiting people and asked what happened.

"Miss Miko, my name is Nanako, and this is my senior brother, Junya."

"Our master seems to be possessed by evil spirits. He, he..."

"Junior sister, let me tell you."

The young man named Junya by Nanako told Inagi Hotomi the story about their master.

"Our master, Tsuchikado, is the descendant of Meikyō Shisui-ryū. Since we became our master, no matter how strong the opponent is, he can handle it with ease..."

Seeing Junya suddenly start to introduce their master, Inagi Hotomi quickly waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"There's no need for an introduction. Let's talk about what happened. Why do you think your master was Possession by Evil ed?"

"That's it." Nanako explained their master's recent situation.

"Master's mental state has been very bad these days, and sometimes he goes crazy suddenly.

When he is crazy, he will also mention some names that we have never heard.

But when we asked, Master, like a trapped animal, instantly retreated to the corner of the room, with scarlet eyes, and said some strange words to the empty front."

"In order to prevent the master from continuing to get sick, we stopped asking questions when he was abnormal, but it had no effect at all.

He even regarded us as other people. After getting sick, he would suddenly make a fuss even if I didn't say anything.

Even the master has never touched the sword since he was here, and he will mutter to himself from time to time, as if he is talking to someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"I'm sorry, I'll never touch a sword again. I'm such a bastard."

Inagi Hotomi heard this and judged their master's current situation to be possessed by an evil spirit.

So out of caution, she asked again, "Have you seen a doctor? Are you sure you are not sick, or have you gone crazy due to some stimulation?"

"We have looked for it, but to no avail. We just prescribed some tranquilizers, but they have no effect at all."

"That's it."

Inagi Hotomi thought about it for a while and came up with two plans for the two of them to choose from.

"The Palace Secretary is away for something. If you don't remember, you can wait until the Palace Secretary comes back.

Or I can complete the exorcism ritual, but I will not be able to find out the reason why the two masters were possessed by the evil spirits."

"Just an exorcism ceremony, please, Miss Miko."

Seeing the two of them confirm it without hesitation.

Inagi Hotomi continued, "You two, please go back first. The exorcism ritual needs to be performed after dark. I also need to prepare some materials for the ritual. You two can go back and clean the room first to clear a place for performing the ritual."

After the two thanked him again and again, they returned to their gym and began to prepare for tonight's exorcism ceremony.

However, Inagi Hotomi did not immediately collect the materials needed to prepare for the ceremony. Instead, he came to Kiana's door and knocked lightly a few times.

Without letting Inagi Hotomi wait for too long, Kiana's somewhat lazy voice came out from inside.

"What's wrong, is it lunch time?"

"Lord Kiana, an evil spirit appears in a pavilion in the city. In order to perform an exorcism ritual, we need to go out and purchase some materials."

"Hmm? Going shopping? Why are you looking for me? Do you need me to come with you?"

Kiana was not completely awake yet, and he thought Inagi Hotomi was calling him to let him go shopping with her.

Inagi Hotomi outside the door was slightly moved when he heard Kiana's words, but he quickly suppressed this thought.

"It's like this. Because I need to go out and the Palace Secretary is not here, I have to ask Lord Kiana for your instructions."

"Huh? Just go, and you don't have to call me "sir". It feels weird."

"Okay, Kiana."

Just like that, because no one disturbed her, Kiana slept until the afternoon.

And until Kiana woke up, he still didn't see Yae Miko come back.

"Can't she come back tonight?"

Kiana was eating snacks while walking among Grand Narukami Shrine.

Inagi Hotomi also happened to return at this time, carrying large and small packages. Those who didn't know it thought they were moving.

"Does the exorcism ritual require so many things?"

"Kiana, these are the snacks and fried tofu I brought for you."

Inagi Hotomi opened the big bag, and it turned out that it contained various packaged snacks and pastries, as well as bottles of Dango Milk, light novels, and fried tofu packed in oil paper bags.

Inagi Hotomi took out another small bag from his arms, and that was the material needed for the exorcism ritual.

"Then I'll leave first."

After putting down the bag, Inagi Hotomi planned to go back the way he came and headed towards the gym.

"Hotumi."

"Huh?"

Hearing Kiana call him, Inagi Hotomi stopped.

And Kiana waved his hand, put away the big bag of snacks and pastries, came to Inagi Hotomi's side, and held her hand.
