When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

"Ding bell~"

The wooden door was gently pushed open, and the hanging bells made a crisp sound, heralding the arrival of the guests.

The decoration of the cafe is very simple. There are some solid wooden chairs in the small interior, which is compact but not crowded.

The soft yellow light makes people relax inadvertently. Some small built-in spaces on the wall are filled with green radishes, which can make customers more alert.

Kitahara Akira walked into the store, took a quick look, and sat down in a corner.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The young waitress came forward with a smile.

"Waiting for friends" Kitahara Akira responded with a smile

The clerk looked at Kitahara Xiao's smile and was stunned for a moment, then nodded and turned to serve other customers.

“Click…click”

The second hand of the wall clock moves meticulously, making a rhythmic sound.

"Ding-ling~" The crisp bell sounded again

Yumiko Miura stood at the door of the store and looked around cautiously.

Kitahara Xiao lowered his head and sent a message

Miura Yumiko felt the vibration of her phone, took it out and looked at it, then ignored the clerk who was asking questions and walked straight to Kitahara Xiao's seat.

"It's you…?"

Miura Yumiko saw Kitahara Akira sitting in the seat and hesitated a little.

Kitahara Akatsuki nodded silently, and stretched out his right hand towards the wooden chair opposite him.

Miura Yumiko hesitated for a moment and then sat down

"Hey, are you really able to help me?" Miura Yumiko looked at Kitahara Akira with obvious distrust in her eyes.

In her eyes, Kitahara Xiao had no outstanding qualities in school, and he had a conflict with their club during the last tennis match. She couldn't think of any reason why Kitahara Xiao would help her.

"If you don't trust me, you can leave now. You're the one in trouble, and I don't lose anything."

"Huh...? Me!"

Miura Yumiko was about to explode on the spot, but thinking about the setbacks she had encountered in the past few days, she suppressed her anger.

"I... I'm just confused. After all... my problem is a little... a little troublesome..." Miura Yumiko said as calmly as possible.

“No rush, we have plenty of time.”

Kitahara Akira called the waitress from before

"A cup of cappuccino, thank you." Kitahara Xiao ordered a cup of Mr. Lu's special drink. He had wanted to try it for a long time.

"What would you like to order, miss?" The waiter looked at Miura Yumiko with a smile.

"So they are a couple on a date, but the girl seems a little angry? Did her boyfriend piss her off?"

The waiter glanced at Kitahara Akira without leaving any trace.

Miura Yumiko was not in the mood for coffee at the moment, so she just ordered a cup of

After the waiter left, Miura Yumiko stared at Kitahara Akira

"So how can you help me? You have to put my mind at ease."

Kitahara Akio smiled, stretched out his right hand, and pointed his palm at Miura Yumiko

"Ok?"

Miura Yumiko looked at Kitahara Akira in confusion

What does this mean? Is it shooting lasers from your hands?

Kitahara Akira slightly bent his fingers, blocking the light and creating a shadow on the palm of his hand.

A playing card with a faint blue fluorescence half emerged from the shadows

Kitahara Akira's index and middle fingers simultaneously reached down and pinched the playing card, pulling it out of the shadows and throwing it onto the table with a little force.

"chichi"

The poker cards with shadows are easily inserted into the solid wood dining table

"Gulu..."

Miura Yumiko, who witnessed the whole process, widened her eyes and swallowed.

What was this? Magic? No, I saw it with my own eyes. Was he a priest, an onmyoji, or a person with supernatural powers? Whatever it was, I was finally saved!

"How about it, can you trust me now?" Kitahara Xiao reached out and took the card back into Shadow's hand.

"Hmm... Hmm!" Miura Yumiko came to her senses and nodded repeatedly

At this time, the waitress brought the coffee they ordered.

Kitahara Xiao took a sip of coffee and then looked at the other person.

“Now, tell me the details.”

Miura Yumiko tells the whole story

"..."

Kitahara Akira was silent for a while

"Should I say you are fearless or ignorant?" Kitahara Akira looked at the other person helplessly.

He dared to watch it even though he heard about the curse. Now someone has come to find him. This guy is really brave...

"Kita... Kitahara... classmate, you should be an Onmyoji or something like that, can you... can you exorcise the demon for me?" Miura Yumiko's voice was a little tearful.

After so long, she finally saw hope. No matter if Kitahara Akatsuki was an Onmyoji or something else, as long as she could destroy that monster, it would be fine.

Kitahara Akira did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and stared at the table, thinking.

'From her description, it should be Sadako. Really, how come all these ghosts have appeared?

By the way, although my shadow's ability is quite versatile, it is still unknown whether it will be effective against ghosts...

Do you want to agree? This should be the task of the system on her body."

“Da…Da”

Kitahara Xiao's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making a crisp sound.

Miura Yumiko on the other side looked at him nervously, fearing that he would extinguish her last hope.

"call…"

Kitahara Akira exhaled heavily and looked up at Miura Yumiko.

"I will try to help you, but if that's not possible I will prioritize my own safety."

"Thank you...thank you!" Yumiko Miura cried with joy

The nightmare that had troubled her for so long finally had hope of being solved.

"Right...right..." Miura Yumiko remembered something and reached into her bag.

A stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi was placed on the table by her

"Here is 200,000 yen. That's all the money I have. If it's not enough, I can..."

Kitahara Akira interrupted her next words, stretched out his hand and brushed the money over it and put it into the shadow.

Although she is not short of money, and her real purpose is also the system's task reward, but she is quite sensible, so she will just treat it as a bonus.

After finishing his coffee in two or three gulps, Kitahara Xiao stood up.

"Without further delay, take me to your house to watch that videotape now."

After saying that, he walked towards the store entrance, followed closely by Miura Yumiko.

"By the way!" Kitahara Akira turned around and looked at Miura Yumiko with a smile.

"What...what..." Miura Yumiko tightened her clothes

Did he think that two hundred thousand was not enough, and wanted to… No, no, I am not that kind of person, but he is the only one who can help me… I really want to…

When Miura Yumiko's face flushed because of her own fantasy, Kitahara Akira handed over the bill.

"You pay the bill"

Miura Yuko:…………

...............................

19:34

Yumiko Miura took Kitahara Akira to her apartment

"I put it in the utility room, come with me"

The two came to the utility room

Opening the door, there was a wooden table facing the door. On the table was a wooden box with strange symbols painted on it, and some talismans were pasted on it.

"That thing... is in the wooden box." Yumiko Miura pointed at the wooden box with a slight tremor.

It was a blessed instrument she had obtained from a shrine, and she had spent a lot of money to buy it.

Kitahara Xiao walked forward, but did not open the wooden box immediately. Instead, he tore off a piece of talisman paper from it.

Sensing carefully, he found that there was a gentle energy attached to the talisman paper, but it was slowly fading away. At this rate, it would not last through tonight.

'It seems I arrived just in time...'

When I opened the wooden box, I felt a surge of resentment. The source of resentment was naturally the old videotape in the center of the box.

He frowned and tried to put the videotape into the shadow, but as expected, he failed.

"It seems that we can't take advantage of this so easily..."

Kitahara Akira looked back at Miura Yumiko

"You should have a projector or something at home, lend it to me."

"Yes, I'll get it." Miura Yumiko hurried to the living room.

After a while, she came back with the matching equipment

"To be on the safe side, stay in a hotel or a friend's house tonight. I'll message you when it's resolved," Kitahara Akira advised.

"Yeah," Miura Yumiko nodded. When Kitahara Xiao asked her to bring the projection equipment, she knew what Kitahara Xiao wanted to do. Even if he didn't tell her, she would leave.

After Miura Yumiko left, Kitahara Akira watched the videotape full of resentment.

"Next, it's your turn."
