I’m a Witch In Dongying

...

In the next few days, Bai Shuiqiu's life gradually became more regular.

Participate in morning exercises, class, and after school every day, go to the archery club to train archery for a while, and then return to the back mountain of the shrine to practice spiritual manipulation techniques under the guidance of Yunv. Life was plain and fulfilling.

After all the four evil creatures were killed last time, Bai Shuiqiu had already told Fujiwara Nanami that there might be a fifth evil creature. However, several days have passed, but no new news has been heard from the countermeasure team.

I think I haven't found the whereabouts of the evil thing.

Even the two big monsters, Yu Nu and Jiu Feng Ziyuan, had never done something, and the countermeasure team wanted to do it, naturally, it was a bit difficult.

If it wasn't because the person who provided this piece of information was Bai Shuiqiu, the countermeasure team would probably think it was a piece of false information.

Under this circumstance, Bai Shuiqiu did not plan to attack again.

Instead, I seized these rare few days, took the time to draw the talisman after practicing, and slowly replenished the last time I spent in the "inside world", and also accumulated a batch of extra talisman and imperial. Shou.

Fu Lu is prepared for the next possible action.

Although I don't know when it will be, whether it is the fifth evil creature that escaped from Lantern Mountain or the evil cultivation from the Jiuju School, it is certainly not an easy one, not to mention that it is still possible to appear in Baishui. The "world" in front of Qiu is now.

If you don't make adequate preparations before encountering these things, you might end up in battle.

As for Omori...

It was prepared for my own Tenme Shrine.

As early as during the Rain God Festival, because the number of visitors to Tenmu Shrine to pray for blessings soared, the defensive guards that Bai Shuiqiu painted earlier have basically been consumed, and she has been on her for a few days, add one more point. The idea of ​​going back. After all, only the guard drawn by her hand can exorcise evil and avoid evil. Although it may be useless most of the time, at certain critical moments, it is tantamount to a death-free gold medal.

More importantly, there are those few gold masters who have spent a lot of money to donate the offerings.

These gold masters are either local snakes in Kanto, or famous figures in Narita and surrounding cities, and even two or three others who have recently gotten into contact with Tenme Shrine during this period of time. The gold master himself is from Qianlizhi Kansai outside.

Because of their different positions and different horizons, these guys have a much deeper understanding of the spiritual level than ordinary people, and some even heard a little about what Bai Shuiqiu did in Kyoto before. For example, the new guests from Kansai came for her.

One of them, who offered a high price of 30 million yuan, wanted to purchase a body protector.

This request was naturally rejected.

After all, Bai Shuiqiu’s artifacts are not too many, and there are some that are not very useful, but even if you don’t need it, you should give priority to Keiko Kamidai, or Asuka, Yuxia, etc., for a small amount of money... …Well, tens of millions is actually not a small amount of money, but after all, it is not worthwhile.

With the operating income brought by the continuous passenger flow, Bai Shuiqiu's demand for money is not very urgent, so even in the face of such a huge number, he can maintain a normal mentality.

but……

The proposal of the sponsor gave Bai Shuiqiu another idea.

In theory, Oshou is actually a magic weapon.

Although the materials used are relatively ordinary, and there is no magical technique, it only uses the spiritual power injected into it to exorcise evil and calamity, but only from the results, it should indeed be included in the category of "magical implements." . Then, using the same principle, it shouldn't be too difficult to make something like Gouyu amulet.

Moreover, because gouyu itself belongs to jade, there is a saying that "jade nurtures people", the amulet made with them as the material will probably be better than the ordinary defensive effect in terms of exorcising evil spirits.

It is also easier to sell a good price among these wealthy money owners.

Well, I can discuss this idea with Yunv in the future...

Bai Shuiqiu thought so.

The first week of school passed quickly.

It was the weekend in a blink of an eye.

After this weekend is over, next Tuesday, it will be the 9th of this month.

It was Bai Shuiqiu's sixteenth birthday.

According to her original intention, she didn’t take this birthday too seriously. She just wanted to buy a piece of cake and invite some of the closest friends to the house to have a light meal together, even if it’s a birthday. After that, there is no need to get too excited.

But even so, there are still slightly more people attending this birthday party.

Needless to say Chiyo and Hyuga Asuka.

One of these two is their own grandmother, and the other is now temporarily living in Tenmu Shrine, which can be regarded as the host in a sense.

Next are Keiko Kandako, Kanako, and Shiramine Washmine, all of whom are also on the invitation list.

Among them, Jiufeng Ziyuan had already seen Bai Shuiqiu’s birthday from the student handbook on the campus council, so when she heard her mention this day, she simply agreed to go to the appointment, and also said that she wanted to She prepared a very special birthday present.

But when Bai Shuiqiu tried to ask what the birthday gift was, the old monster chose to keep silent, and she could only temporarily bury her doubts in her heart.

By the way, Bai Shuiqiu also sent out an invitation to Yunv.

However, the latter did not agree because he did not like to deal with people, but only expressed his happy birthday to Bai Shuiqiu when he was getting along privately with Bai Shuiqiu. Since Yu Nv's own wishes were so, Bai Shuiqiu would naturally not interfere any more, but silently crossed out Yu Nv's name from the birthday party list in his heart.

Then there are Baishui Jiashi and Jiexia.

The reason why the mother and daughter did not leave with Heren was half because the problem of Jie Xia had not been completely resolved, and the other half was because Jia Shi wanted to stay and spend a birthday with Bai Shuiqiu.

After all, in the previous few years, in addition to the routine telephone greetings every year, the couple’s connection with Bai Shuiqiu was infinitely close to zero. From Jiashi’s standpoint, they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to make up for what they had missed for many years. Affection.

Mime private 656

For this reason, Bai Shui Jiashi did not clearly state it.

But Bai Shuiqiu could vaguely guess that meaning from the latter's words.

In this regard, her attitude is nothing to do.

In terms of blood relationship, Bai Shui Jiashi and Jiexia mother and daughter are indeed with her mother and sister, but when it comes to the relationship between each other, they are not very deep, at most they are at the same table with Hyuga. Asuka is comparable, but not comparable to Chiyo who really raised her up.

Therefore, Bai Shuiqiu couldn't talk about expecting the two of them to stay, nor could he refuse.

But anyway, since the other party celebrated her birthday out of good intentions, she naturally thanked her.

in addition……

As for the school, Bai Shuiqiu also talked to the latter while Kurijian Sanae took time to visit the Kyudo Club.

In all, half a year has passed since she joined the Kyudo Club. During this period, Kurimi Sanae took care of her. This girl and Hyuga Asuka are probably the two closest friends in Narita High School. Therefore, both emotion and reason should be notified.

As for whether the latter can take the time to come to the banquet, it is another matter. After all, Kuri Jian Sanae has to go to cram school after school every day, and she has to review her homework on weekends. The time is quite tight, even if she simply sends a message on LINE. Blessings are also easy to understand.

Then there are Suzuki Juki and Asakura Asami.

Both of these were partners who had worked together, and they both had a little bit of "generational friendship". Out of courtesy, Bai Shuiqiu also sent out invitations.

In fact, putting the countermeasure team and Jiufeng Shion together on the same table is a little problematic.

Suzuki Zhuxi and others have seen Qinglu Fire, and they also saw Jiufeng Shion in the live broadcast of the IH competition, but they did not know that the two were the same person. Although even if they know the truth, these few people shouldn't talk about it everywhere, but there are some risks after all.

However, after the old monster himself said that he didn't need to care, Bai Shuiqiu settled down and stopped thinking about it.

The next question is...

If Keiko Kashiro came over to the banquet, Ryoko would definitely be by her side.

And next to Suzuki Zhuxi, the figure of Jubei must be indispensable.

In addition, Mr. Ito who may come with Asakura Asami, and Secretary Fujiwara who represents the countermeasure team...

That is at least twelve or three people.

The dining table in the inner room of the Tenme Shrine can accommodate up to eight people at most. It is a bit reluctant to squeeze a dozen people at the same time. Therefore, at the suggestion of Keiko Kamishiro, Shirasumi decided to place the birthday party outside the shrine, which is On a clearing on the right side of the courtyard.

On the one hand, the place is spacious, on the other hand, the surrounding environment is cool and quiet. With a little tidying up, it is a very suitable place for dining.

Think of it as a picnic.

For Bai Shuiqiu's birthday, Chiyo and Baishui Jiashi still attach great importance to it.

Although according to Dongying's law, 20 years old is considered as an adult, but after the 16th birthday, you basically have the ability to act, and you can already be regarded as half an adult.

What's more, in the previous hundred years, women in Dongying were able to get married when they were 16 years old. Even though they were raised to 18 years old in recent years, the long-standing folklore concept has not changed. Speaking of which, this is actually quite interesting.

Because whether you are 16 or 18 years old, you are a "minor" according to Dongying law, so even if you get married, you are still a "minor girl" and you need to get the consent of your guardian.

But on the other hand, the legal age of marriage for men in Dongying is also 18 years old, which is also a "minor."

Hmm...it's strange.

Closer to home.

Since the weekend, Chiyo and Jiashi have bought some fish, seafood and other ingredients one after another and put them in the refrigerator at home.

There are quite a few types of meat, which are expensive ingredients, costing several thousand yen per catty.

The change was normal, and Chiyo was reluctant to buy this kind of thing back, this time it was a special expense for the sake of Bai Shuiqiu.

The elderly even suggested that several old friends in nearby villages and towns who moved a lot should also be invited over to make up the number of people to help Bai Shuiqiu hold a small birthday ceremony, but after Bai Shuiqiu's persuasion, this was eliminated. idea.

However, Shindai Fumyama learned the news from Keiko and personally called Chiyo to ask if he could come.

According to the old man, Bai Shuiqiu is equivalent to his other granddaughter, his granddaughter is celebrating her birthday, so if the grandfather is not here, since he is in Narita City, he can't be absent.

As a result, one more person is sure to attend the banquet.

And considering the seniority and status of Shendai Wenshan, if the latter really wants to come, he can't deal with it too casually. Some etiquette things are inevitable, and the specifications of the banquet may have to be raised a little bit.

Bai Shuiqiu also has no experience in this area, and she simply entrusts her grandmother and mother to take care of it. As for herself, she has devoted her energy to the defense of the liver. Instead of worrying about these minor things, it's better to take the time to make a few more Omori to create a little income for the shrine...

A weekend was spent quietly in spiritual practice.

It’s Tuesday the next week.

Bai Shuiqiu finished the training of the kyudo club half an hour ahead of schedule, and after greeted Ogata and others in the department, he left the club first and walked towards the teaching building.

From afar, I saw Keiko Kamidai standing downstairs carrying a schoolbag.

There is another figure beside--

It is Jiufeng Ziyuan.

This woman had told Bai Shuiqiu earlier that she would attend her birthday party, so it's not surprising to appear here, but standing with Keiko Kandaji made Bai Shuiqiu a little surprised. When she came over, she saw The two are discussing things one after another:

"...In other words, Kyoto's current research focuses on materials. Only by using special alloys with lightness, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance, can it be ensured that when the bullet and the inner wall of the barrel continue to rub against and generate heat, Can the techniques engraved on it be preserved to the utmost extent?"

"Probably so, but the information I gave you last time is only a small part of it.

As far as I know, the Kyoto Countermeasures Group has at least three underground laboratories that are conducting research on surgical weapons. Perhaps the other laboratories have made progress in other areas, and it is unknown. "

"..."

A few fragments of words came vaguely from the sound of the wind.

When they saw Bai Shuiqiu, the two stopped talking, Keiko Kandaji waved his hand and smiled: "Qiujiang, are you here?"

Jiufeng Ziyuan also ticked the corner of his mouth: "It's Xiaoqiu."

"Well, I'm back..."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded, and then glanced at the two in front of him a little strangely: "By the way, were you discussing academic topics just now?"

"It's not an academic problem either..."

Keiko Kashiro scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's just that after returning from Kyoto last time, I got a copy of the Kyoto Countermeasures Group's research materials from Shion-sensei, and I did a little research based on it. It happened to be here today. When I was waiting for you, I met Teacher Shion and discussed it by the way.

Since Qiujiang has come back, let's go home first. "

"good."

Bai Shuiqiu replied, and then glanced at Jiufeng Ziyuan's face: "Does Teacher Ziyuan want to be together too?"

Jiufeng Ziyuan shook his head: "I still have something to deal with. I'll just drive over by myself later, don't wait for me."

"Oh well."

Immediately, Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Jindai beckoned, they turned around and left the campus, then boarded the car and drove to the eastern suburbs.

——By the way, Hyuga Asuka is not in the car because the girl went back to the shrine by train alone after school. The hours between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock in the afternoon are the busiest hours of affairs in the shrine, and Kanako and the two maids of the Kamishi family are a little too busy.

While in the car, Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth and stopped talking.

But Keiko Kashiro was so smart that she quickly noticed her expression:

"Does Qiujiang want to ask me about the matter between Teacher Shion and me?"

"How can I say that, except for the few days when I was in Kyoto, I had contact with Shion privately only once during the Rain God Festival. At that time, Shion-sensei had just returned from Kyoto and brought back one. The information obtained from there is related to the latest research by the Kyoto Countermeasures Group.

After that, I studied at home for a period of time, and a few questions arose. Taking advantage of this meeting, I asked the teacher for advice. The general process is like this. "

"Is that so..."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded slightly after listening to Keiko Kandaji's words, "Teacher Shion... didn't she do anything to you?"

As early as a few months ago, Bai Shuiqiu had warned Keiko Kanda not to come into contact with the old monster easily, mainly because he was worried that the latter would use the ability to modify memory without authorization to do something to the girl.
