Young Master Izumi. (Continued)
"She's amazing."
Yotsuya Miko was amazed, but she didn't have as many thoughts as the others, after all, her experience was different from others.
"However, he's still far inferior to the leader."
This is also her true feeling.
Upon hearing this, the girls' negative emotions were instantly dispelled.
Oh right, I almost forgot, what they relied on.
They were able to rise from ordinary people to this level, surpassing many Ability User and Demons and Monsters, all thanks to that man's help.
Being behind now doesn't mean you'll be behind in the future.
With him around, anything is possible!
The spiritual energy rippled outwards, gradually filling the entire Kisaragi Station. Wherever it went, it was as if it were being scorched by a raging fire, and everything was distorted and changed. The strange energy was like smoke rising from the steaming air.
The reason why Saginomiya Isumi calls herself an 'exorcist' and is also known as the 'Miko of Light' is simple: her spiritual power is extraordinary. It often burns away negative things like sunlight. But to be precise, her power should be described as a very domineering 'Purifying Power' that can purify everything.
"Haa..."
She unleashed tremendous power, and couldn't help but raise her voice, a sign of exertion.
As the Purifying Power gradually gained the upper hand and the purification domain was formed, the Different dimension formed by the Kisaragi Station began to dissipate like mist.
Thirty seconds later, the surrounding space shifted, and they were all back in reality.
"It's finished... but I can't send everyone to Buddhahood yet. And that 'thing' doesn't seem to have been completely eradicated?"
Saginomiya Isumi covered her hand again, her eyes filled with confusion.
This was the first time she had ever witnessed something like this.
"Because it's a ghost story, a monster originating from the human heart..."
Dekomori Sanae offered her explanation as if to boast.
"I had no idea. You guys know so much."
Saginomiya Isumi nodded blankly.
"This was all told to me by the Lord Sage..."
"Thump!"
Just as Dekomori Sanae was about to continue speaking, she was suddenly struck on the head with a chop to the head.
"You are not allowed to reveal any information about the Sage."
Takanashi Rikka's eyes are a warning.
"Yes, Master..."
Dekomori Sanae's eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
"You seem to be a very powerful organization."
Saginomiya Isumi's gaze swept over the crowd, and she was surprised to sense an extraordinary aura emanating from each of them.
This was the first time she had ever seen so many Ability User, including an even more mysterious figure known as the 'Sage'...
Even she felt a bit curious about this matter and tentatively asked him a question.
"Don't worry, what we're doing is pretty much the same as what you're doing."
Nibuya Morika stepped forward and spoke.
"I see... I understand."
"Well then, everyone, I'll take my leave now. Hope to meet again someday."
Saginomiya Isumi noticed the distance between her and the others, and although she didn't know why, she wisely chose to say goodbye.
After all, she still had an important task to complete.
He turned and left, disappearing from sight in just a few steps.
"Just like before... it's some kind of spatial ability."
Takanashi Rikka activated her Sharingan, trying to capture the trajectory of the departing opponent, but could only vaguely sense fluctuations similar to the shattering of space between them.
"Adding that to the previous ability, it's now a dual ability?"
Although this assessment surprised everyone, it was understandable that the other party was a Rank Three Ability User.
For example, one of their Spirit Channeling possesses an unimaginable talent for 'inspiration'.
"Everyone seems to be quite hostile towards Ms. Saginomiya. Could it be because they feel threatened by her?"
As the group emerged from the tunnel, Yotsuya Miko asked, somewhat puzzled.
She could clearly sense the other person's friendliness, and making another friend like that should be a good thing.
"Snort."
The girls simply hummed softly, offering no further explanation.
This doesn't seem like a good question.
Yotsuya Miko did not pursue the matter further.
What she didn't know was that a member of the Saginomiya branch of the Far East Magic Society had once come to visit, and had even acted as a matchmaker for Hasegawa and the Young Lady. The girls hadn't taken it seriously at first, but after seeing her today, they realized that this Young Lady seemed to be a much better match for them in terms of ability!
So, it's really just a young girl's jealousy.
Afterwards, the Far East Magic Society members who had saved many people did not appear in front of everyone, but secretly left.
The incident was reported to lower-level staff in the organization, who came to check it out but found nothing, so they brushed it off.
Only those who experienced it can clearly determine that it was not a dream. Afterwards, some of them may share the experience with others, but very few people take it seriously.
After all, for those who haven't personally experienced and been impacted, no amount of words can truly convey the message.
At sunset.
A touch of warm sunlight fell on the small courtyards of the buildings along the roadside.
"The address should be around here, why can't I find it...?"
The girl in the kimono hurried back and forth through the street, her eyes scanning the various shop signs.
"Hasegawa... has been found!"
Finally, Saginomiya Isumi stopped in front of this small courtyard.
She went inside, rang the doorbell, and soon the door opened, revealing a handsome young man.
Who are you?
Hasegawa Izumi looked at the unfamiliar face and spoke.
"Hello, I am Saginomiya Isumi. Are you Izumi-sama?"
Saginomiya Isumi bowed very politely and asked.
"Young Master? That's quite an old-fashioned way to address you."
He chuckled upon hearing this and added his explanation.
"I am Hasegawa Izumi ... Saginomiya? I do recall your name; you're from the Saginomiya family, aren't you?"
That's right.
So what do you want from me?
"Young Master Quan, you've probably heard of them, haven't you? My uncle and aunt are quite close to my parents; they even went on an adventure to explore some ancient ruins recently..."
"Is that so? I don't know."
Hasegawa Izumi doesn't care much about his elders' work, so the elders he's relatively familiar with are only a handful, including Sayuri.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know... Anyway, last week I was entrusted by my uncle and aunt to give you a treasure they found in the ruins."
As she spoke, Saginomiya Isumi took out a precious jade from her small bag and handed it to him.
Good heavens, this is embezzlement.
Hasegawa Izumi thought to herself, then casually accepted the precious jade.
As for why he wasn't notified beforehand, the reason is simple: the call environment at the time was probably not very friendly, and it might have been monitored.
"I have studied this jade; it is indeed a treasure, and wearing it will bring benefits."
"Saginomiya Isumi looks at Baoyu and says."
Hasegawa Izumi wasn't surprised that the girl could come to such an answer.
After all, the scale and strength of the spiritual power within her body was second only to that of the Nine-Tailed Fox who had accumulated it by sucking blood, among all the creatures he had ever encountered.
"This thing can be called a 'Spirit Stone'."
He suddenly said.
"Spirit Stone?"
The girl looked surprised, and it wasn't just the name that surprised her.
"Could it be that Young Master Quan...?"
"Shh."
He put his finger to his lips, then weighed the jade in his hand as he spoke.
"This thing is like some kind of energy source; it can be used for many things. If the government officials knew about it, they would probably be happy... but it's useless to me. Anyway, thank you both."
"Ms. Saginomiya, thank you for this gift. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Although the gift itself isn't important, I still have to accept the sentiment.
No, there's no need.
Saginomiya Isumi shook her head, then, as if remembering something, said, "Speaking of which, I've heard Nagi mention Izumi-sama before, but my impression of him is quite different from what Nagi described."
What did she say about me?
Hasegawa Izumi raised an eyebrow.
"It means you're being unreasonable and domineering, taking her lollipop..."
"Absurd!"
How can things from childhood be taken seriously?
Moreover, he hadn't awakened yet at that time, and it was only because that guy spoke rudely that he couldn't help but bully him.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that the Saginomiya Isumi cleverly changed the subject.
"In any case, I have delivered your things, Uncle and Aunt, so I should take my leave now."
"Yes, thank you. I'll call and relay the message later."
"Goodbye, Young Master Quan. I hope we can fight side by side in the future."
As the sun sets, the girl, her back to the light, smiles and waves goodbye.
"If there is an opportunity."
His words weren't just a perfunctory remark; they were an acknowledgment of the girl's abilities.
To be able to cultivate to such a level so quickly in the mortal realm, according to the definition of some worlds, should be considered a "chosen one".
Soon, we will need more people like this to put in the effort.
During the rest period after dinner, almost everyone was present.
The girls from the Far East Magic Society talked about what happened in the early hours of the morning, including their encounter with the 'Miko of Light,' which they shared as topics of conversation and experiences with the two members of Chiba.
"What a coincidence!"
After seeing this, Hasegawa Izumi hesitated for a moment before deciding whether to explain the matter.
