When Yotsuya Miko met the chat group

But it doesn't matter, now she can understand classmate Jieyue!

Jianzi has a sense of satisfaction in helping the characters on the right side of the movie.

Is this self-satisfaction?Seems to be right.But this should also be the satisfaction that ordinary people with normal values ​​are willing to obtain.

"Oh? Can Yotsuya-san see ghosts?" Jieyue exclaimed with a surprised expression.Then she changed her mind, something was wrong!

"So... do ghosts actually exist?!"

"Jieyue-san clearly can see special things by himself, but he still says that—"

"No, no, that's different, isn't it?"

Jie Yue desperately waved her hands in front of her mouth.

In her mind, it seems that science and spiritual topics are very separated. Before talking about whether she likes or dislikes, Jieyue first defines spiritual topics as things that "do not actually exist".

Although she has the incredible supernatural ability of being able to see "predicting corpses", before today, Jieyue seemed to classify her ability as a type of superpower, thinking that her ability might be able to use what she had before. The fiery ESP (parapsychology) is used to explain that if a person with the right wave band can use drugs to stimulate or practice hard, the superpowers may be reproduced.

Although I learned from Kikyo that my abilities are not superpowers, but spiritual abilities, onmyoji and shikigami are real ancient professions, but Jieyue's feeling about this is that she discovered the truth of history. This level of truth.

With a little in-depth association, you can also know with Jieyue's knowledge that the ancient onmyoji was not a supernatural profession that manipulated shikigami and subdued ghosts, but a kind of astronomical officer.

In the long history of development, some strange powers have been researched by chance.Just like the alchemists in ancient China invented explosives to practice the elixir of immortality—this is how Jieyue understands the existence of onmyoji and shikigami.

Onmyojis are not the only ones who are peculiar, things like spells may also exist in other professions, but what everyone knows is a strange chemical reaction that has not been discovered by modern science.The existence of shikigami may be similar to zombies and the like, using drugs or other special methods to reawaken and dominate dead people or animals.

In Jieyue's understanding, Shikigami and Onmyoji are not chanting spells, but there are mysterious things that are bestowed by gods. Their style is more similar to the role of Frankenstein at the beginning of the steam age, or in other words, similar to Mingyue's impression The cognition of the profession of "alchemist" is similar to that of early scientists.

But after actually listening to Jianzi's description, she understood that she had made a mistake.That is: ghosts, monsters, ghosts and other supernatural creatures are real.

——If it is possible, Jie Yue does not want to understand and know the truth in this life.

Jie Yue is not someone who is afraid of ghosts.Among the four souls, Jieyue's "Wild Soul", which represents courage and positive strength, is almost at full value, otherwise he would not do many dangerous things and get the nickname "Liar Moon".

But hearing that things like ghosts really exist, but I can't see or touch them, this feeling is really annoying.

But thinking of this, Jianzi suddenly discovered something.

"Since Minatsuki-san until just now believed that psychic powers and spells are fake and scientific, how could Kikyo-sama, who was wearing a priestess costume and confidently talking about onmyoji, shikigami, and spells in front of her? What kind of image is it? '

Jianzi felt that she shouldn't delve into it further, otherwise she might react rudely the next time she met Kikyo-sama.

"It must be very scary, right? ... Yotsuya-san was able to see such a thing, it's really hard work."

Minatsuki felt scared even if she couldn't see the ghost, and Yotsuya-san who could actually see it must be even more scared.Thinking about my previous experience, what she just said was not believed, and she was isolated in terms of trust, but according to Yotsuya’s description, ghosts are still called evil spirits and ghosts are everywhere, and their normal activities are in people’s lives. Every corner of the world, only showing its terror and threat to those who can see it.

And Yotsuya, as the only person capable of seeing these threats and fears, is afraid of being targeted by evil spirits, so when encountering danger from evil spirits, he can neither show fear nor ask for help.Even if you are out of danger, because people who cannot see have nothing to do with the evil spirits, telling others about yourself will only make the other party worry, and even drag the other party into danger.

So Yotsuya-san couldn't confide in anyone, couldn't tell anyone about her fears and fears.The world that only she can see, although she is in the same space, but others are indifferent to the scenery that Yotsuya-san naturally imprints in her eyes-how lonely her world is!

'But now I'm here!Don't be afraid, Yotsuya-san, I will always support you! '

When Jieyue felt the same thoughts as Jianzi, Jianzi said: "No, no, it's more hard work on your side!"

Chapter 110 Tentative Title Eight 【Cleaning Group】

Jianzi and Jieyue felt that the other was having a harder time.

Jieyue feels that Miko's situation is like walking alone in a quiet shopping mall. There are a lot of goods in the shopping mall, and the atmosphere of life and prosperity is everywhere, but because of the strong atmosphere of prosperous life, walking alone That feeling of loneliness is especially evident when you're in the mall.

Jianzi felt that Jieyue was carrying a secret, that she was doing good deeds but was not understood by anyone, and was ostracized at school, making her life a mess.

Her experience is even more extreme than the tragic heroine of the manga, and what is even more extreme is that as long as Jie Yue is still a good child, such days will continue.

Only kind people would be bothered by this—if there is a god who designed this multiple-choice question, she must ask him: why did she treat Minatsu-san so cruelly.

They expressed their views on each other, and the atmosphere between the two became as harmonious as Jianzi thought.This is undoubtedly a kind of luck for Jianzi.

In fact, when she said "No one can understand Jieyue", wasn't she talking about herself?

Suddenly became able to see such terrifying things, but Jianzi could neither tell others nor ask for help.

——It seems that the whole world has become only me, the people talking around me, the teacher on the podium, the aunt in the convenience store, everyone is talking cordially as a matter of course, but they only turn a blind eye to those things that can only be seen when they meet——

In such a situation, the pressure of Jianzi can be imagined.If there is no exchange group, a cross-dimensional communication platform, for Jianzi to confide in her distress, and there are kind people willing to help her, Jianzi can't imagine that she will be in a different and worse state now.

For example, the eyes are sunken~, the bitterness is deep~, the waist is squatting when walking, the eyes are staring at the past from bottom to top, and the hair is dry and greasy. You can go directly to the haunted house to apply for a female ghost. ?

Jianzi imagined her appearance after staying up late for three days, and suddenly felt that Jieyue in front of her eyes became even cuter.

[Sakura Setsuna: See you, senior, excuse me, are you ready? 】

When Jian Zi was chatting with Jie Yue, someone suddenly kicked her in the chat group.Jianzi was taken aback, and after confirming that the person who wrote to her privately was Setsuna, she suddenly remembered that the time after school was originally the practice time that Setsuna had agreed upon.

Shenmingliu swordsmanship——From ancient times to the present, it has the power to subdue demons and demons.

The original intention of learning this swordsmanship is that Jianzi wants to deal with the dangers of evil spirits with more flexible skills and ways of thinking. Originally, he just wanted to learn a body-protection technique. It is a kind of swordsmanship that can directly learn the swordsmanship that can eliminate spirits by itself. Kind of lucky.

Then, because of Jianzi's status as a disciple in her studies, she always took the initiative to contact Setsuna after school.

This time, it was probably because Miko and Minatsuki chatted for a long time, plus the time spent talking with Kikyo-sama, and the time in school, Setsuna waited for a long time without seeing Miko's contact, so I was worried about what happened to her again?

[Yotsuya Miko: Hug, sorry, Setsuna, I have something to do here, I forgot the time...]

[Sakura Setsuna: Is that so?It's good to see that the senior is not in danger. 】

Standing upright like chopsticks somewhere in the woods of Ma Fanliang College, Sakura Saki held the sword she had put away in both hands, and opened her closed eyes slightly.

Senior Jianzi is not a person who is not punctual, so when it was about time for practice and Senior Jianzi still hadn't contacted her, Setsu could not help but worry about the other party's safety.

After all, this has a "conviction"!Because it was a very urgent situation, and it was very dangerous to contact the communication group even if you were a little distracted, so Miko-senpai contacted the communication group after surviving the danger on his own, and told everyone about the experience he encountered.

From this point of view, it was correct for Senior Jianzi to choose to learn the skills of defeating evil spirits instead of seeking props that can reach evil spirits.Because relying on props to protect one's own safety, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.Only one's own strength is the best choice to protect oneself.

In short, seeing that there was no serious problem with Senior Zi, Shu Mo was also slightly relieved.She closed her slightly opened eyes again, and re-perceived whether anyone was approaching around, and at the same time asked in the communication group:

[Sakura Setsuna: Senior sees that you haven't finished your work, do you want to cancel today's practice?Let's get busy with senior's affairs first. 】

Setsuna didn't ask what happened to Jianzi, she was not a nosy character, and she also felt that it was the other party's privacy.If the other party didn't take the initiative to speak, Setsuna thought it would be more gentle to keep silent.

【Yotsuya Miko: No, no, it's okay, my side...】

Jianzi focused on the reality, Jie Yue who was sitting on the chair in front of her was looking at her strangely.

[Yotsuya Miko: It doesn't seem to be all right—but, it shouldn't matter, right? 】

【Sakura Setsuna: How to say? 】

I didn't ask before because Setsuna felt that it was Jianzi's private matter, but after getting involved with "practice", if Senior Jianzi still thinks it doesn't matter, it means that things are not that simple.

【Yotsuya Miko: It’s actually like this...】

While Jianzi is introducing Jieyue's situation to Setsuna in her head, she also has to deal with Jieyue in reality. Using this powerful skill in two ways, she doesn't know when she will be able to learn without a teacher.

——No, I don’t have a clue here either.

After all, that's what she always does, doesn't she?

While suppressing the fear of the evil spirits close at hand, he pretended to be calm and acted as usual.

Obviously concerned about the dangerous and terrifying evil spirits, they care a lot, and part of their attention is allocated to the evil spirits to pay attention to its every move. That's it.

——She doesn't want to develop strange skills under such harsh conditions~~

【Sakura Setsuna: I see...】

On the other side, after hearing Jianzi's description, Setsuna probably grasped the situation.

[Sakura Setsuna: That is to say, Senior Jianzi met a psychic who also has special vision, and the other party accepted the guidance of Kikyo-sama, and should work hard together with Senior Jianzi to achieve the goal of Onmyoji, right? ? 】

【Yotsuya Miko: Exactly right. 】

[Sakura Setsuna: ——Senior Miko didn't intend to introduce her to the exchange group, did he? 】

【Yotsuya Miko: ...Yes, I don't know if this is good or bad...】

【Sakura Setsuna: That's correct.Senior Jianzi can look through the announcement area of ​​the communication group. There are quite a few examples of the tragedy caused by group members rashly leaking the existence of the communication group to trusted friends. 】

【Yotsuya Miko: ... I will go to see it. 】

[Sakura Setsuna: I~ don't mean to blame Senior Miko... Rather, I think caution is a very good quality.The existence of communication groups beyond common sense has a lot to do with it. If the consequences of exposing it cannot be controlled, then try not to expose it as much as possible. This is the most normal and correct approach. 】

【Yotsuya Miko: I see. 】

[Yotsuya Miko: By the way, what happened to those group members who exposed the existence of the communication group and caused troublesome consequences?I mean - how did they handle this riot? 】

[Sakura Setsuna: Heh~ Don't worry about this, in order to deal with this special situation, a professional team has been organized in the group. 】

[Yotsuya Miko: Professional? 】

[Sakura Setsuna: Yes! ——One-stop service from memory cleaning, cognitive tampering, reality modification to brainwashing and suggestion, and occasionally get rid of too tricky guys. 】

【Yotsuya Seeko; ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha...】

'Get rid of...'

Jianzi made up her mind at this moment: If she didn't have the ability to fully control the risk, she would never disclose the existence of the communication group to anyone.

Chapter 110 Nine

After talking about the not-so-relaxed topic, Jianzi asked about serious matters.

[Yotsuya Miko: Waiting for the next practice, can you let Jie Yue visit it? 】

[Sakura Setsuna: ...Since Kikyo-sama allows Senior Minatsuki and Senior Miko to study together, there is no problem on my side. 】

【Yotsuya Miko: Really?Won't it be troublesome to Setsuna? 】

As far as Jianzi herself feels, she doesn't have a better idea of ​​hiding something.

First of all, she admires Jieyue very much. If Jieyue can learn the swordsmanship of Shen Mingliu, then she will be able to have more self-protection ability when facing various complicated situations in the future.

What's more, learning swordsmanship alone is too boring.

The one-to-one teaching mode sounds very efficient and good, but Jianzi actually feels like a fool who can't do anything well after experiencing it.Although Setsuna-chan always said things like "Senior Jianzi is very talented", but of course this is just Setsuna-chan comforting her, right?

——Although it has only been two days since she learned the Shenming Style swordsmanship, Jianzi still can't even move smoothly while swinging the sword. She is really stupid, right?

For this reason, if there is a peer who studies with her, even if the fact that she is indeed an idiot is proved by actual comparison, Jianzi at least knows where she is stupid, so that she won't say "" It’s amazing to see Senior Zi.” In the middle, one is secretly proud, while the other is uneasy.

...Isn't it a bit of a mean reason?

[Sakura Setsuna: Not really.I believe Master Wing Chun will also be happy to have friends who learn Shenming Style in other worlds. 】

Sakura Saki Setsuna really didn't find it troublesome to teach one more person.Moreover, two people study together and confirm each other, which can indeed better promote the effect of learning.The reason why she didn't agree to teach Miko-senpai's younger brother before, on the one hand, was because Yotsuya Kyousuke was Miiko-senpai's younger brother, so out of future considerations, she refused to directly teach Kyosuke Kannaru-ryu's swordsmanship.

There are many hidden "rules" in the inheritance of swordsmanship.These rules are not so important that they need to be written down and become the dogma of the school, but these rules are mostly the experience of the predecessors.

If you violate the teachings of these rules, there will be no immediate side effects, but as time goes by, there will always be adverse effects that are hard to guard against.

For example, the saying "pass on males but not females" is actually just outsiders spreading rumors.

A more accurate statement is "male to male, female to female".

This is because no matter whether a male master makes a female apprentice or a female master teaches a male apprentice, all kinds of bad things will happen unconsciously.Regardless of the circumstances of the two parties involved, just the malicious speculation of outsiders and the criticism of opponents will make people feel suspicious and hinder the original intention of inheriting swordsmanship.

So under normal circumstances, when a master wants to pass on his skills, he will only find disciples of the same gender to inherit the mantle.If Setsuna wanted to teach Kyosuke swordsmanship, she would have broken the "rules" of "male to male and female to female".

The reason why the rule of "male to male and male to male" is passed down to "pass to male and not to female" is because of the ancient patriarchal thinking. On the other hand, males are indeed inherently superior in physical condition. Women, if you want to choose disciples to be successors, of course you must choose good conditions.

The second reason is that, according to ancient conservative thinking, women should not break into the "man's domain" at all.This point can be known from the comparison of the number of male and female swordsmen in history-does anyone know any female swordsmen in history?

The second reason, as mentioned earlier, since breaking into the "men's domain", there are very few women who become swordsmen, unless it is the daughter of a friend, the child of a relative, or the child of their own family, ordinary women There is no chance of becoming a swordsman.

And there are few women who become swordsmen, and of course there are few opportunities to fulfill the "female to female" rule.The public seldom sees the existence of "female to female" or female disciples, so "male to male, female to female" becomes "pass from male to female".

After all, if a sect like Shenmingliu, which has strict conditions for apprentice selection, wants to take the initiative to reduce the scope of apprentice selection by half, then it is really hard to think about it.

Apart from the rule of "male to male and female to female", there were other reasons for refusing to directly teach Jianzi's younger brother swordsmanship.

——"Pass relatives but not sparse".

At the beginning of this sentence, it was about something that could not be verified, but each genre has its own understanding.

The paraphrase handed down from Shenmingliu is: try to pass on swordsmanship to those close to you.Don't pass on sword skills to someone you don't know at all.If you decide on a disciple, cultivate a close relationship with him.If the disciples are a family, choose one to teach swordsmanship, and try to reject the other as much as possible.

For the rules of five words, the seniors of Shenmingliu interpreted four general meanings.

The first is the first and the third, try to pass on the sword skills to those close to you: because disciples in ancient society are not just people who inherit their own skills, some people even regard master and apprentice as a relationship closer than parent and child. There are many reasons.

In the master-student relationship of swordsmen, in addition to providing for the master's pension and death, the disciple is also responsible for taking over the responsibility of the master and the task of hatred, so the relationship between the master and the student must not be sloppy.

In ancient Japan, swordsmen, that is, samurai, generally held public positions. If a family did not produce a man who could inherit swordsmanship, they would call in their son-in-law to teach swordsmanship, and hand over the public office to their disciples and sons-in-law.And famous warriors have many enemies. In order to prevent enemies from coming to seek revenge when they are old, they need disciples who can inherit the mantle to protect the master.
