The Cyber Ghost Butler's Idea / Shiho Miyano's Plea
For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is constantly mentioned by the You Know Who, and the fatherly demeanor she exudes when facing Bocchi. Calling Jerry over to her place to help improve the home environment can probably be considered her way of showing "concern".
Unfortunately, Jerry went home early this morning, and I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.
"But why didn't Kaguya and Miko receive the warning?"
"Miko she has only been practicing Ripple for a short time and has used up her Reading Points less, her Yin -Spirit Vision should attract more attention than the Ripple within her body. Perhaps once she enters the Jujutsu Society and understands the condition of her eyes, she will soon become the strongest among us."
The You Know Who also mentioned in his diary that the strongest Sorcerers in the Jujutsu Society might take Miko as his student because of Miko eyes.
Although it was just a joke casually mentioned by the You Know Who, it now seems quite likely to come true.
"Kaguya is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family. Her status speaks for itself. Even if those big shots in the Reverse Side World look down on conglomerates, they wouldn't do anything to Kaguya."
"And those of us who have no status and no talent are naturally easy targets."
Yukino Yukinoshita has been subtly testing her parents during this period.
Compared to the big shots in the Reverse Side World, a councilor from Chiba Prefecture is nothing; he's not even qualified to know about the Reverse Side World.
"It seems that only Kaguya and Miko went to visit the Jujutsu High this time. I wonder if they can take some photos and post them in the group so we can see what a school that specializes in training Sorcerers is like."
Gokō Ruri picked up her phone and, after obtaining Yukino Yukinoshita's consent, sent Yukino's speculation to the group chat.
Black Cat: "In any case, everyone should remain cautious. Although that You Know Who guy has been hiding and refusing to show himself, it is indeed the safest approach."
Chapter 148: The Cyber Ghost Butler's Ideas
"Isn't Shinomiya Kaguya entirely aimed at Yotsuya Miko?"
Standing in front of a somewhat old and abandoned building, Miyauchi Hiyage was looking through the chat history of the girls on Shiina Mashiro's phone.
Shiina Mashiro stayed quietly beside him, taking small bites of the Baumkuchen.
As for Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi, they have now been sent by him to inquire about the haunting of the building.
This is the location of the exorcism request that Shiina Mashiro received today. So before school ended, Miyauchi Hiyage contacted Itou Kaiji and came to the building under the pretense of investigating suitable filming locations.
Miyauchi Kouka originally wanted to come and join in the fun.
But she was afraid of ghosts, so Miyauchi Hiyage just told her a few ghost stories, and she slunk back to Shiina Mahiru for comfort. Miyauchi Hiyage also asked her to mention to Shiina Mahiru that he was going to take Shiina Mashiro out to do some research.
In short, Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage was relatively relaxed about Shiina Mashiro's request.
Grade B commission, 15 Reading Points.
At most, it's just a level two or three cursed spirit or Vengeful Spirit.
Moreover, it shouldn't have caused any major disturbances yet, otherwise the nearby shrines or high-ranking jujutsu practitioners would have sent people over to clean it up long ago.
Anyway, if any problems really arise, it's just a matter of Miyauchi Hiyage tearing off the Sealing Talisman and releasing his Pure Yang Body, which can be easily resolved.
Now, after sending Itou Kaiji and the other person out to investigate and explore the surrounding area, and then summoning his Stand, Yellow Temperance, to accompany them, Miyauchi Hiyage stayed here to look through the chat history.
"The Shinkage Style are no good. I'll remind them in my Diary in a couple of days, so they don't accidentally sign a contract of servitude."
Those who form a bond with the Shinkage Style are truly willing to sacrifice their lives for the head of the Shinkage Style family.
According to the manga, the Shinkage Style wanted to secretly seize control of the Jujutsu Society, but the clan head was just an ordinary level one jutsu master, easily killed by someone at the end of the manga.
Miyauchi Hiyage truly had no idea how Shinkage Style, who had lived for hundreds of years and was still only a level one sorcerer with no apparent limit, could achieve his goals. He could only guess that there might be some conspiracy or scheme behind it.
However, the comic ends abruptly there, and the things behind these foreshadowing elements are naturally left unresolved.
Of course, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't intend to get involved in these nonsensical plots. She would just give the girls a heads-up, in case Shinomiya Kaguya could actually get a looser control by spending money.
As for the fact that Takanashi Rikka received a danger warning from the Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage found it even less surprising.
While Ripple Chi Kung may not have a high ceiling for superhumans in the Reverse Side World, as a superhuman power, its threshold is much lower than that of Shinkage Style.
To cultivate Shinkage Style, one must at least awaken their innate talent for Cursed Energy power. The threshold for Ripple Chi Kung is maintaining one's breath and finding the rhythm of one's breath. Even if one's aptitude is so poor that one cannot elicit Ripple, maintaining the rhythm of one's breath over a long period of time can significantly enhance one's physical constitution.
If this power, which allows for cultivation at will, were noticed by people in the Reverse Side World, especially those girls with Reading Points, whose cultivation speed compensates for the only shortcoming of slow Ripple cultivation, it would be strange if they weren't coveted.
These girls really should be more wary. It's fine to be a bit of a chuunibyou in real life, but if they want to maintain that mindset in the Reverse Side World, they'll have to prove themselves with real ability.
It's good that a little Reading Points helps Takanashi Rikka to tone down her temper.
Look, after Jerry gave the Black Cat some pointers, isn't its temperament much better than before? It can now eat and chat normally with Yukino Yukinoshita.
Compared to that, he was more concerned about whether Yotsuya Miko's Spirit Vision could develop other functions after entering the Jujutsu Society.
"I don't know whether in this messy, mixed worldview, Miko's eyes are a superpower, Spiritual Power awakening, or some kind of special Innate Technique."
"Even if Yotsuya Miko isn't chosen by the Jujutsu High, it won't affect Shinomiya Kaguya, who introduced her. If she does awaken some special ability, then Shinomiya Kaguya will be very lucky."
After muttering this to himself, Miyauchi Hiyage returned the phone to Shiina Mashiro after reading the chat logs.
"Are we going back?" Shiina Mashiro took the phone and asked Miyauchi Hiyage softly.
She didn't like the environment of this place, and even the Baumkuchen didn't taste as good here.
"It'll be soon. After all, this place is a gathering place for negative human emotions. Your perception is quite strong, so you'll feel a little uncomfortable for now. Just circulate the Ripple as I taught you," Miyauchi Hiyage reminded Shiina Mashiro to use Ripple Breathing to dispel the uncomfortable feeling.
"I'm using a substitute to sweep through inside. There are quite a few scattered Vengeful Spirit and cursed spirits. Keep an eye on the quest interface in the Diary. Once the quest is completed, we can leave."
Although the range of Yellow Temperance is only E on the official guide panel, both in the story and in Miyauchi Hiyage's own experience, it is believed that this panel value is not that accurate.
The Stand's original body can move within 10 meters of him, but thanks to its own extensibility, it can extend its body into a line like the Freedom of Stone, reaching places tens of meters away.
Moreover, it ignores buildings like Spiritual Body and can share a view with the Miyauchi Hiyage.
It also has the function of splitting, allowing the split individuals to move further away from the original body.
These split individuals will perform actions according to the instructions given before the split. Although they cannot share vision or continue to be commanded, they can still be retrieved without any problems.
If there are no supplies available, it will completely dissipate after a period of time.
Of course, more importantly, the Yellow Temperance body is also a fairly excellent Ripple conductor.
When faced with weak level four Vengeful Spirit, Yellow Temperance will use a portion of its body to devour Vengeful Spirit and unlock its own transformation template.
For those level three or even level two Vengeful Spirit, one would have to rely on the super Ripple of the Miyauchi Hiyage, which are comparable to the sun.
Of course, Miyauchi Hiyage in coming here this time wasn't entirely to eliminate all these Vengeful Spirit.
This morning he received a private text message from Jerry telling him that it would be home tonight.
He also reminded Jerry to remember to conceal the Ripple so that no one would notice them.
Although there have been fewer Exorcists around Beika Town these days, the events of the previous month caused a bunch of Vengeful Spirit to escape from Beika Town and almost cause a big commotion. Now the authorities are paying more attention to this Vengeful Spirit dump.
It would be troublesome if Jerry were discovered by those Sorcerers or Spirit Medium.
In short, Jerry's return is a good thing. The projects that he didn't have time to move forward with before can now be handled by Jerry.
So after Shiina Mashiro reminded Miyauchi Hiyage that she had completed the request, Miyauchi Hiyage had Yellow Temperance bring out the half-dead, devoured vengeful Vengeful Spirit and some ordinary ghosts that were about to dissipate, and sealed them with Sealing Talisman.
"After that, let Jerry research whether we can digitize the Relic technology used by these guys."
If he succeeds, he plans to find a few obedient ordinary ghosts, turn them into cyber ghosts, and have them work for him on the internet, thus creating a force that he has personally built.
After all, if ordinary ghosts don't become Vengeful Spirit, they usually either automatically dissipate and reincarnate within a few days, or they are devoured by more powerful Vengeful Spirit, allowing them to continue to survive. I believe there should still be quite a few ghosts willing to work for him.
We need to be careful. If Jerry suddenly has a brilliant idea and creates an electronic ghost that escapes, those Spirit Medium will probably have to think for a long time about how to deal with this new type of ghost.
A while later, Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi had been investigating nearby, returned with the information they had gathered.
Miyauchi Hiyage listened to some of what they had found out and confirmed that although there were rumors of the place being haunted, it hadn't caused any big news, and even if it were filmed, it wouldn't be very entertaining.
So they simply filmed a few short videos, planning to add them to the behind-the-scenes footage later to generate some buzz.
This kind of thing is commonplace for them.
After all, it's impossible for Miyauchi Hiyage to find a bunch of suitable places to shoot videos right away, as this would give Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi the impression that shooting videos is too easy.
Therefore, Miyauchi Hiyage naturally had to pretend to take them to several places for inspection, and ultimately refer to several places before filming.
Itou Kaiji had originally said that he had quit his job at the convenience store so that he could look out for more suitable locations while the two of them were at school.
However, this request was naturally rejected by Miyauchi Hiyage.
After all, although most Vengeful Spirit won't attack people as long as they aren't seen, what if this unlucky guy, Itou Kaiji, runs into a cursed spirit? In that case, let alone adversity, even if you brought out Kaiji in dire straits, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
It's impossible for the protagonist Itou Kaiji, to suddenly awaken his Cursed Energy and become Sorcerers with aptitude no less than Satoru Gojo at a critical moment in life and death.
Although it did feel like a scene from Jujutsu Kaisen, Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't let Itou Kaiji take that risk for the safety of his employees.
Itou Kaiji was slightly reluctant, but after Miyauchi Hiyage gave him a red envelope and then pointed out the dangers of investigating those crime scenes alone, and presented Kento Nanami 'Itou Kaiji warning to them, he finally gave up the idea.
After that, the other person happily took their wages to their usual pinball shop and never mentioned these things again.
As for Sakakibara Kouichi, Miyauchi Hiyage's approach was quite different, and could be described as much more direct.
After all, the protagonist Sakakibara Kouichi, comes from the horror-suspense work Another, so he is much more accepting of this kind of content.
Gradually bring up this topic with him, slowly increasing his ability to cope and accept it. If he were to transfer back to Yomiyama North in the future and encounter the "deceased," there probably wouldn't be as many victims as in the original work.
Of course, if Miyauchi Hiyage had already been invincible before that, he wouldn't have minded helping his friend exorcise the "Yomiyama North" that had lasted for decades and had yet to be resolved by other Exorcists.
In other words, the source of that curse is either at the first or even the highest level, or it is so deeply hidden that even powerful Exorcists cannot find its source.
In addition, only one class is cursed each year, and there is a way to break the curse by completely ignoring one person in the class before a death occurs. Therefore, Yomiyama North, who was unwilling to pay too much, kept the matter a secret and handled it discreetly.
Sakakibara Kouichi has now realized that something is wrong.
For example, in the previous video, Miyauchi Hiyage "intentionally" leaked a half-second shot of Vengeful Spirit.
It wasn't very obvious, but after he used a different account to point out this spot in the video's comments, their newly released video received the highest number of views to date.
A significant number of people were discussing whether the "things" appearing in those few frames were real.
Of course, most people, including the thick-skinned Itou Kaiji, didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just that the picture was a bit blurry or that Miyauchi Hiyage hadn't processed the material properly.
That's how Miyauchi Hiyage explained it to his classmates.
However, as a fan of thriller and suspense works, Sakakibara Kouichi is more likely to think about more things and is not so easily convinced that it was just because Miyauchi Hiyage did not process the material well.
Therefore, he secretly confirmed this with Miyauchi Hiyage again at school.
However, at that time, Miyauchi Hiyage responded in a completely different tone, neither confirming nor denying, only stating that he had indeed discovered such a segment in the footage while editing the video.
He even showed some of the original materials to Sakakibara Kouichi.
Seeing the image of Vengeful Spirit appear on the screen for several seconds, Sakakibara Kouichi's expression towards Miyauchi Hiyage became somewhat subtle.
"So if it's really true, will you continue to make videos on this topic in the future?" This was the question that Sakakibara Kouichi asked Miyauchi Hiyage after seeing the video.
Miyauchi Hiyage's answer was simple, "The officials definitely know more than I do. Since they just want me to report to them in advance, then let's just keep filming. Even if it's true, I might get an official position in the future."
It can only be said that Sakakibara Kouichi lives up to his reputation as the male protagonist of a thriller. He only spent an afternoon thinking in the classroom before deciding to continue working with Miyauchi Hiyage.
His explanation was simple: if Miyauchi Hiyage wasn't afraid, then what did he have to worry about? He didn't want his friends to think of him as someone who only paid lip service to something.
If he misses this opportunity, he might regret it later.
Chapter 149: A Prayer from Shiho Miyano
After treating the group to a lavish meal outside and enjoying themselves to the fullest, Miyauchi Hiyage, amidst Itou Kaiji's somewhat envious gaze, took the stunningly beautiful Shiina Mashiro home.
Feeling Itou Kaiji's gaze, Miyauchi Hiyage patted him on the shoulder and told him to keep up the good work, as money would make it easier to find women.
In his original story, this guy was completely unpopular with women. I wonder if changing his future will improve his luck with women.
But Miyauchi Hiyage felt it was a bit risky.
After all, his cowardly demeanor in the videos has already deeply resonated with people, establishing his public image.
But who knows, maybe one day this guy will find a rich woman who likes his style.
I wonder if Itou Kaiji likes steel wool anymore.
Miyauchi Hiyage muttered this to himself before bidding farewell to the others outside Beika Town.
He took Shiina Mashiro home.
In fact, Miyauchi Hiyage had brought Shiina Mashiro to his house several times before.
