Spell Upgrade System

I don't know what kind of coincidence this is. Shikatori Hiiragi just passed by Ikebukuro yesterday, and was sent to Ikebukuro to perform a mission today.

To be honest, Shikatori Hiiragi still feels an inexplicable chill when she thinks of the "Headless Horseman" who appeared in the field of vision of "Six Eyes" yesterday.

Of course Shikatori Hiiragi doesn’t believe in urban legends. Although he is a conjurer, she still feels that she still prefers to believe in science. Urban legends are just misjudgments by people’s eyes. Degree.

If she hadn't seen it yesterday, she might still feel that way.

The headless horseman she saw yesterday, Shikatori Hiiragi can even be sure that it is definitely not human.

It doesn't look like a magic spirit either, because zero is essentially a collection of magic power, and that creature doesn't even have a trace of assistance.

Although there is a precedent of zero magic power like Fuhesher, she is still very sure that it is not caused by the sky and the curse, and what is left by the sky and the curse can only be faintly noticed by the "six eyes" There is not even a trace of it.

Seeing such a guy, it is really hard for Shikatori Hiiragi to tell what kind of creature it is.

Maybe she herself is a little curious about this matter. If there is a chance during this mission, she would like to know a little bit about the urban legend of the Headless Horseman.

Since it is in Ikebukuro, many people must know about it.

The streets of Ikebukuro are very bustling and lively.

As one of the most populous business districts in Tokyo, the streets of Ikebukuro can be said to be full of people all the time. In the morning, that is, at this time, it is actually okay. Just after the morning peak, the flow of people is actually not as high as in the evening. many.

And from the time when the students are out of school in the afternoon, it will be the time when the flow of people in Ikebukuro is the highest in a day, and it will continue until the next morning.

Shikatori Hiiragi walked on this unfamiliar land, looking left and right all the way, his eyes didn't even care about what he should be looking at at this time.

This was the first time for her to observe the cityscape of Ikebukuro so carefully, and when she saw those punks squatting in groups on the street, she suddenly felt that this place was different from what she had imagined before.

In the whole of Tokyo, Ikebukuro is a very avant-garde place. Whether it is the various facilities on the street or the people living here, it can be said to be a symbol of vitality and vigor. Even in such a place, there will be Is there such a thing as bad?

And many more.

Shikatori Hiiragi was walking on the road, not only were there gangsters wearing monochrome decorations on both sides of the road, but also an army of gangsters riding motorcycles crashed by from time to time, and the local citizens of Ikebukuro had obviously seen it for a long time.

Curse spirits generally don't immediately spawn at their own birth point, but this one is more accurate for curse spirits living in cities, so Shikatori Hiiragi is not very important, so I went to the mission location while strolling.

In fact, Shikatori Hiiragi has found himself doing things more and more leisurely.

After becoming a special class, she often travels all over Japan, because when she was doing missions with 99, she set up coordinates for every place she stayed, so now she can just teleport wherever she wants to go up.

However, if this is the case, it is inevitable that she will be suspected by the Conjuration Society. After all, on the surface, although she refused to accompany the assistant supervisor, she still accepted the transportation fee from the Conjuration Society, so she can't go too fast. Try to keep it within the time they are not aware of.

Also because of this, every time Shikatori Hiiragi goes out on a mission, he can only take it slow, or eat something nearby and play something after finishing it early, and then go back when he has enough time.

As time goes by, she seems not to be anxious about anything anymore. Although she is not a person who likes to be impatient, what she feels now is more of a sense of leisure that has been integrated into her body.

After wandering around the streets of Ikebukuro for some time, Shikatori Hiiragi caught a few tall figures walking towards her. She secretly felt troubled, so she moved to the side to get out of the way in the middle.

However, even though she had given up enough space for those people to pass through early, Shikatori Hiiragi still couldn't avoid this trouble smoothly, because those people seemed to be coming for her.

The black-skinned, bald-headed bad guy in the middle stood in front of Shikatori Hiiragi arrogantly: "Is my little sister alone? Do you want to play with my brothers?"

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

She knew it.

This kind of development is really common on the streets of Tokyo, especially here is Ikebukuro. She really doesn't know about Ikebukuro, but it is true that she saw the group of gangsters here today.

Shikatori Hiiragi said blankly, "No, I still have something to do."

The yellow-haired man next to him persuaded in a bad tone: "Don't be so heartless, we are members of the Yellow Turban tribe, and it's very fun to play with the brothers."

The tinfoil on the other side was hot and the bad boy wearing sunglasses also said: "Yes, if there is anything else, let's do it next time."

Shikatori Hiiragi: "."

She didn't speak, and calmly took out her mobile phone, and prepared to call the police in front of the three bad men.

Perhaps because she was so angry with her "arrogant" look, the black skin in the middle became angry and tried to shoot her mobile phone away: "Your grandpa is talking to you, bitch!"

And in the next second, that person's blow did not land on Shikatori Hiiragi, because at this time the gangster was suddenly hit by something behind him, and almost fell on the white-haired girl.

Shikatori Hiiragi dodged back nimbly, but he couldn't let this person touch him at all, and he didn't know how strong the force was, so such a tall person fell to the ground before writing.

Shikatori Hiiragi blinked, a little curious about what happened just now, she clearly planned to avoid it just now, but now it seems that she was stopped by a person who appeared suddenly.

He was so angry that he was about to turn around and grab the collar of the person who bumped into him, shouting angrily, "You boy! Don't you have eyes!?"

But he was in vain, and saw the black-haired man who was blocked behind several people nimbly dodged aside, smiling brightly: "Oh, I bumped into someone so accidentally."

The gangster swung his fist and was about to smash it: "You bastard, why are you being so arrogant with me!"

"Big brother, is this guy the rumored... Orihara Rinya??"

"W-what? Is that Orihara Rinya??"

"...No, that's right, he is definitely Orihara Rinya!!"

I don't know what kind of consensus was reached suddenly, the three bad guys ran away in a desperate manner like oil on the soles of their shoes, and disappeared after a while.

Shikatori Hiiragi was startled, and then looked at the man who completely scared people away with just one word.

The man with short black hair has a pair of amber eyes, which can't be concealed. The smile on the corner of his lips does not make this person look lively and cheerful, but adds a bit of confusion, as if he is hiding something. Stomach bad water.

I'm a little sorry, but that was Shikatori Hiiragi's first impression of this person.

It stands to reason that he "saved" her from trouble, and she should have a good impression of him, but after hearing the descriptions and fearful expressions of the three people, she knew that the person in front of her was not simple. And after seeing the other party's pair, this feeling is even worse.

Shikatori Hiiragi just paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

It is said that she can completely solve this matter by herself, but the appearance of this person at this moment definitely saved her a lot of time. Although the most important thing she lacks is time, she still sincerely thanked her.

The black-haired man called "Orihara Rinya" by some gangsters waved his hands and said, "Huh? I didn't help you, I just bumped into that person accidentally."

deceive who?

Calculated based on a person's normal walking speed, even if he bumps into someone without noticing someone in front of him at all, and suddenly brakes when he realizes that he has hit someone in front of him, the inertia he receives is of course completely unable to move a 1.8-meter More than an adult male almost knocked over.

This person obviously used his strength on purpose before.

Shikatori Hiiragi thought this way, but still didn't say what was in his heart.

"Thank you too." Shikatori Hiiragi bowed slightly, and planned to walk around him when he was free.

When she passed by Orihara Rinya, the other party suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Miss Sister is not from Ikebukuro, right? What are you doing here?"

Shikatori Hiiragi paused, turned around and said, "I'm really not from Ikebukuro..."

Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't understand why he asked such a question for a while, a girl of her age came to Ikebukuro alone, no matter how she thought about it, she was here to visit, right?What else is there to ask?

Now that the other party has asked this question, Shikatori Hiiragi said without thinking: "I'm here to go shopping, it's very busy here, maybe you can buy a lot of good things."

Orihara Lin also gave a "huh", and then said: "But today is a working day, the morning rush hour has just passed, why would Miss Sister come shopping at this time? You should be a student, right?"

Shikatori Hiiragi was speechless for a moment.

She didn't understand why this person insisted on asking such a question, but the answer just now was indeed her negligence, so Orihara Lin also took advantage of the loophole.

"Well, I'm actually here to find out about one thing."

"Oh, what is it? If it's about Ikebukuro, maybe I'll know."

"I want to know... about the urban legend of the 'Headless Horseman'. "

Of course Shikatori Hiiragi couldn't say that she was a conjurer, and she came to Ikebukuro to perform a mission today, but she couldn't think of any other reason, so she brought out the "Headless Horseman" for a while, anyway, he would let him go after talking. she left.

Unexpectedly, just after she finished speaking, Orihara Lin seemed to have received some surprise, his eyes lit up, and then he said cheerfully: "In this case, I know an information dealer, he is very aware of such things, How about I take you to see it?"

"Ah I……"

"Miss Sister, do you have anything to do next? After all, you came here specifically to learn about urban legends, didn't you?"

Shikatori Hiiragi: "..."

It's like digging a hole and burying yourself.

Shikatori Hiiragi turned to think, it won't take long to find an information dealer, right?Anyway, she was busy.

Estimating the time, she finally nodded, and investigating the urban legend of the "Headless Horseman" was also one of her goals this time, which is not a loss.

And after the two of them got on the tram, Shikatori found out that the informer's office was not in Ikebukuro, but in Shinjuku.
