Chapter 109
"I've fought countless battles over the years, what's wrong with enjoying myself a bit?"
Hasegawa Izumi appeared very confident.
Two women:...
I really don't know if that's true or false.
It's pretty intimidating anyway.
"But those are two different things."
Nibuya Morika pouted.
"Alright, judging from your fruitless appearances, it seems you didn't encounter Mysterious Phenomenon."
Hasegawa Izumi changed the subject.
The two girls shook their heads without offering any further explanation.
"That's quite normal, it's about what I expected."
He didn't seem surprised.
When Mysterious Phenomenon are encountered on any random street, then the truth will finally come out, and chaos will ensue.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Could it be...?"
The expressions on the three people changed instantly.
He answered the phone, and Rikka's voice came from the other end.
"Sage, come quick! I've encountered Mysterious Phenomenon!"
His expression immediately turned strange.
Has the prediction come true so quickly?
After a while.
Following the location sent by the girl, the trio of Hasegawa Izumi arrived at the river.
Beneath the bridge, the water flows gently, the path beside it is lush with green grass, and some unnamed flowers are blooming in vibrant colors.
"Sage, we are here!"
"Lord Sage, we've completed our mission! Death!"
Just below the slope, Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae shouted excitedly upwards.
"You mustn't try to cheat us."
"If this is a false report, you'd better be prepared to be punished!"
As they descended the stairs, the two girls exchanged warning glances.
After all, their identities have changed, so it's best for them to act in accordance with their personas to avoid giving themselves away.
"No, there's no death! You two, stop being so envious and jealous!"
Dekomori Sanae made a sarcastic remark to the two of them.
"The Sage, that's it...!"
Takanashi Rikka led the way, turned around, stepped onto the grass, and pointed to a spot.
In the center of that cluster of flowers, a unique deep blue grass stood tall and graceful, its stem slender and supple, as delicate as silk threads, faintly emitting a faint glow.
The moment they were drawn in, the two newly arrived girls were unconsciously captivated, their eyes losing focus...
8. Now it's time for fantasy.
"Seeker of Truth, are you going to leave me like this?"
A girl dressed in a white veil and a gemstone bracelet, looking pure and holy, gazed at the spirited young man before her.
"That's right, I will continue to strive for that grand goal; I will seek the true 'Tao'."
The boy responded.
"Is the Dao more important than me?"
The girl spoke first.
The boy remained silent for a moment.
"Can't you stay for me?"
The girl looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Why..."
The boy's eyes flickered uncertainly, but he finally sighed, revealing a gentle look in his eyes. He smiled and approached her, placing his hands on her shoulders, saying, "Perhaps I've been wrong. Maybe you are the 'path' I've been searching for all along."
The Girlish Heart deeply moved.
Their eyes met, filled with tender affection, and then...
A gentle breeze was blowing on the rooftop.
Silver-haired Beautiful Girl stepped out of the iron gate, tossing her flowing hair in the wind with one hand; her beautiful face exuded charm.
Not far away, a handsome young man with his hands in his pockets turned around, his eyes arrogant and domineering, inspiring awe in those who saw him.
"Club President, why did you ask me to come to the rooftop?"
"What do you think it's for?"
Suddenly, the boy rushed over, forcing her to retreat several steps until she was backed against the wall.
The boy reached out a finger, hooked it around the girl's chin, and said with a wicked smile, "Haven't you been waiting for this day? Well, today your wish comes true."
"Wake up!"
Suddenly, a shout rang in the ears of the two girls, and everything in front of them vanished instantly.
"What happened?"
Nibuya Morika and Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes were glazed over, but their gazes gradually focused.
"You were just hallucinating; it must have been the effect of this herb... It seems to be a spiritual herb after all. In terms of its effects, let's call it 'Soul-Bewitching Grass'."
Hasegawa Izumi looked at the grass beside her, her eyes still clear, and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain today. Maybe this stuff can be processed to fight enemies in the future."
This hallucinogenic effect might not mean much to him, but it's enough to confuse people whose mental strength isn't strong enough.
He had secretly observed the two girls when they were affected, and they showed no signs of waking up for a full ten seconds, which was enough to prove its effectiveness.
This Soul-Bewitching Grass plant clearly has room to grow, and it's also quite ornamental.
It can serve as both a foundation for the Far East Magic Society and a decorative element within the society.
Just as he was pondering how to take the spiritual herb back, the girls beside him started teasing each other.
"Hey you two, what kind of death did you just witness?!"
Dekomori Sanae extended her finger and questioned him.
"That's right, her face is as red as a monkey's bottom! She must be imagining some kind of shady thing!"
Takanashi Rikka also looked suspicious.
"Why should I tell either of you!"
Nibuya Morika was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her fur stood on end.
"This has nothing to do with you, right?"
Natsukawa Masuzu forcibly suppressed her fluctuating emotions.
The illusion they had just experienced was so realistic that they couldn't bear to look at it for long.
They haven't even thought that far ahead!
That's incredibly shameful.
"Heh heh, I knew it was death!"
Seeing the two's embarrassed expressions, Dekomori Sanae revealed a smug look.
"Wait... With your methods, you definitely can't detect the 'mysterious' existence. So, you two must have been hallucinating too!"
Nibuya Morika's expression shifted; she had discovered a blind spot.
"Could you two please tell us what you saw in the environment?"
Natsukawa Masuzu also realized what was happening and looked at the other two with a teasing gaze.
"This, this... is a secret!"
"Well."
Now, an embarrassed expression appeared on the faces of the two petite girls.
Clearly, these are some secrets that need to be kept hidden.
Just as Nibuya and Natsukawa were preparing to press their advantage, a voice came from behind.
"Stop fooling around, you lot. It's time to get down to business."
At this moment, Hasegawa Izumi had already drawn a circle next to the spirit herb, which marked the distance for digging.
He has deduced, through observation, the soil range that will not harm the source of the medicinal herbs.
Next, we need to consider how to move it.
First, you need a flowerpot, then a shovel, and a cardboard box to block the view.
These items can all be purchased at the shopping street not far away.
After a while, Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae, who lost the rock-paper-scissors game, returned with their belongings.
"Watch me now."
Hasegawa Izumi picked up a shovel, ready to dig.
The girls didn't volunteer at this time, because they were well aware of their own limitations.
"Club President, a little guidance might come in handy in the future."
Suddenly, Natsukawa Masuzu pulled a small notebook and a ballpoint pen from her pocket, ready to take notes.
This knowledge is also necessary for spiritual practice.
That level of effort is beyond my reach!
The other three girls looked surprised, then took out their phones from their pockets and followed suit.
"There's no need to be so serious. Actually, as long as you sense the direction of the spiritual energy and determine the distance its roots have spread, you can dig from a more distant place and avoid any damage."
As Hasegawa Izumi spoke, she dug a circle of soil around the Soul-Bewitching Grass.
The girls were immediately embarrassed.
They haven't even mastered their first bit of spiritual power yet!
And how to perceive the direction of spiritual energy.
However, they still wrote it down so they wouldn't forget.
After a while, all the surrounding soil was dug up, leaving only the Soul-Bewitching Grass connected to the soil beneath it.
He went straight to the pot, stuffing the soil and flowers together, and then covered it with a cardboard box to prevent it from having a hallucinogenic effect on others.
Meanwhile, the girls also observed something else: after he touched the soil, not a single speck of mud got on him.
'Is this the mystery of spiritual power?'
I really want to have it right now!
' Dekumori can't wait to gain spiritual power, death.'
