Spell Upgrade System

The sushi restaurant at two o'clock in the afternoon may be because there are not many people in the store, so the area where Shikatori Hiiragi is located is very quiet.

As if she didn't hear the other person's words clearly, she opened her mouth and repeated it again with some doubts: "...is it five yen?"

Yato nodded: "Yes, I'm a god, of course the incense money is five yen!"

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

Hearing what he said, it seems quite reasonable.

In fact, Shikatori felt that these two people were so poor, and it seemed that her commission was not easy to handle. Should she give more money?

It’s not that Shikatori Hiiragi has never been to a shrine. She knows that even if it’s incense money, there is more or less. It can only be said that five yen is more common. It’s not a problem for her to give a little more, right?

But seeing Yato like this, he probably won't give her this chance.

Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't help thinking, no wonder he is so poor now, the things he does usually have a high labor value, but he only charges five yen for each item, and he charges a little more for each entrustment, It's not like this.

"I did hear your wish." Yato threw the five yen Shikatori Hiiragi just gave him into the air, and then grabbed it again, "Shikatori Hiiragi, you are destined."

After saying this cliché, Yato continued to eat sushi, thinking while chewing, "Well... the next problem is how to solve it."

Shikatori Hiiragi suddenly said: "However... I have a very curious thing. Is it difficult for people to notice the gods?"

She believes in the "six eyes" too much, so she subconsciously feels that the body structure of gods and artifacts is different from that of ordinary people, and it will become an imperceptible state. After all, even the "six eyes" are part of human beings.

Regarding this point, Shikatori Hiiragi was still quite curious.

Yato thought for a while, and said, "Well, I came from the other side. I was not born from a human body, but a martial god born from a wish. The same is true for artifacts."

In that case, there is no problem.

In fact, from the very beginning, she felt that there was something wrong with the hot pot restaurant they went to earlier.

It is closed in the afternoon, the reason is unknown, the most important thing is that Shikatori Hiiragi felt an imperceptible breath from that room, a bit like a curse, but it may not be.

After all, she who opened the "six eyes" didn't notice this very clearly at the time, so she can't be sure now.

Could it be...?

"Yato, what exactly is the 'yokai' you mentioned earlier?"

Ever since Yato called her "Yato" for the first time, Shikatori Hiiragi has also called her "Yato" directly. This may be more intimate, and this god has no airs, even if he calls her by his name, he won't feel it have what.

Hearing her question, Yato became unusually serious, and didn't speak until he swallowed all the sushi in his mouth.

"A "yokai" is an invisible thing that condenses human obsessions, and possesses humans to do evil. "

Shikatori Hiiragi: "?"

How do you feel that this explanation is inexplicably familiar.

Miraculously, she linked monsters and curses together, both of which come from the human spirit, but curses condense negative emotions, while monsters are obsessions.

Mantra is a tangible thing formed by the condensation of negative emotions, while monsters are intangible things.

She only felt that the human world might be inexplicably similar to the world seen by gods.

"I know what you're thinking. Although curses are also a disaster in this world, they are not under the control of our gods, and we have no ability to control them. All the gods can do is to exorcise monsters that have caused substantial harm to human beings."

Since he is a conjurer, it is of course very normal to think of curses at this time.

Yato continued: "There are too many monsters, so if you want to get rid of them, you have to pick the dangerous ones first."

"This danger... how to judge?"

"The specifics are still up to us to decide. Whether or not to exorcise a monster generally depends on whether or not to possess someone."

Hearing a new vocabulary that he had never heard of before, Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't help asking: "Possession?"

"Monsters are generally greedy for souls. If you are targeted by them, you are likely to be possessed by those monsters. After being possessed, you will become obsessed with ghosts."

Shikatori Hiiragi instantly thought of what the other party said before, that the pilots who were entangled by monsters were probably in a state of being close to possession at the time, so they flew the plane indiscriminately when their consciousness was captured .

"That's why I took the initiative to catch up with you, thinking that I should at least tell you the state of your soul. If you continue like this, you with a broken soul will be easily targeted by monsters."

Yato's blue eyes seemed to sharpen instantly, as if telling Shikatori Hiiragi that he was not joking about this matter.

Shikatori Hiiragi just took a sip of tea indifferently, looking as if he was still out of the situation, or maybe he didn't pay much attention to his own affairs.

She replied, "Okay, I see."

After getting the other party's response, Yato couldn't help frowning again.

That's it, she has almost no emotional ups and downs, she is calm...or indifferent to a level that ordinary people can't match, she is obviously not the kind of person who is indifferent to life and death, and this is obviously caused by the replaced part of the soul.

And because the replaced soul is completely blank, it becomes a vacant piece of Shikatori Hiiragi, rather than having any new influence.

"Don't worry, since I have accepted your five yen, then we have made a contract, and this matter will definitely be resolved for you."

In fact, Yato followed Shikatori Hiiragi at the beginning, and didn't think much about it, but felt that in her state of soul, walking on the street alone might be dangerous.

But now he fully understands that although Shikatori Hiiragi has a crippled soul, her willpower is very strong. As long as it is not some powerful monster, there should be no way to possess her in a normal way.

"Hmm... I don't care about that," Shikatori Hiiragi still felt like saying it after thinking for a while, "I always felt that something was wrong with the sukiyaki restaurant I went to before, but it should have nothing to do with the curse."

Because "Six Eyes" told her so.

After listening to Yato's long speech, Shikatori Hiiragi was enlightened, and suddenly realized that if there is nothing wrong, the sense of disobedience should be caused by things like "monsters".

Of course Yato knew what she was talking about: "I see, so you want to say that there might be monsters in that store?"

He did feel the breath of a monster at the time, but he was really hungry at the time, and because Shikatori Hiiragi was still here, he decided to let it go for a while, and then parted with her after dinner, and then went to the hot pot restaurant with Yukine have a look.

Shikatori Hiiragi nodded, and said, "Would you like to take a look later?"

Yato blinked: "Xueyin and I plan to go later, but what are you going to do? The only people who can see monsters are animals, babies and people between this shore and the other shore, you..."

As soon as the words fell, Shikatori Hiiragi saw that the other party pointed to the position under the table. She was a little surprised, but still bent down and took a look, it was the floor.

She frowned: "Nothing?"

Yato: "Yes, a monster, but you can't see it."

Xueyin, who hadn't been able to get in the conversation, spoke for the first time: "There is indeed one, and it looks pretty ugly."

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

Maybe it's because she can't see anything, so she doesn't really feel it at this time, and she is actually wondering whether Yato and Yukine, the gods and artifacts, are working together to play her.

However, with the idea of ​​not easily doubting others, Shikatori Hiiragi accepted it.

She guessed what Yato meant, because she couldn't see monsters, and she was in a state of incomplete soul. She always avoided monsters, but she wanted to get close to them, whether it was for herself or not. , or Yato and Yukine are not good.

Sighing, Shikatori Hiiragi said, "Okay, I..."

She just wanted to say that she was not going, but she was interrupted by Yato.

"Well, but it's okay, it's not an option if you go on like this, maybe I can get some clues about your soul if I show you the monsters?"

After Yato finished speaking, he put the last piece of sushi on the plate into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and suddenly disappeared from Shikatori Hiiragi.

And this speed is too fast, Shikatori Hiiragi didn't even catch the afterimage of the opponent's movement at that time, and his pupils locked for a while.

Did it disappear...or teleport?

Shikatori Hiiragi looked back, and sure enough, Yato had already stood behind her, patted her on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "Why are you so surprised, I'm a god."

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

If there is the ability to teleport, then returning to Tokyo can be done in an instant without taking a plane?

So it is not known whether following her is to solve her soul problem or to make money.

After the three of them finished their meal, they left the sushi restaurant together and went to the hot pot restaurant they had been to before.

On the way to the hot pot restaurant, Yato took out a piece of talisman paper from nowhere, and Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't understand the words or patterns on it.

Yato said: "With this, Hiiragi you can also see monsters."

Shikatori Hiiragi was startled.

This thing is so amazing?

As soon as Yeto handed the talisman to her, she subconsciously wanted to take it, but she didn't expect the other party to slap her on the forehead.

Yato laughed and explained: "Hahahaha! Do you think I'm going to give it to you? Of course, this kind of thing infused with my power cannot be touched by ordinary people. You have to be careful not to drop it , if you drop it, it’s gone.”

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

Although she was a little speechless, when she turned her head to look around her again, she found something in the air that she had never seen before.

It should be the so-called "monster".

How should I put it, it is colorful and oddly shaped.

Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't think of any other adjectives.

Walking along the way and observing these things that I have never seen before, I am not bored anymore.

Soon, the hot pot restaurant will arrive.

As soon as they approached, they heard a loud noise from inside the house, like the sound of glass breaking.

Followed by another man shouting.

"How can I inherit this store! This kind of cursed place should be closed as soon as possible!!"
