Chapter 62: Cursed Building!
The brilliantly shining Hana was as dazzling as a blazing fire in his eyes.
Everyone has a different constitution; some people have more life energy, some have less.
People with less life energy, logically speaking, should be more susceptible to attacks and harm from evil spirits...
But in reality, unless it's an evil spirit with a personal grudge, generally, few powerful evil spirits would attack such people.
Whereas people like Hana, whose life energy is strong but cannot restrain these energy, are actually more likely to be entangled by powerful evil spirits...
Because that escaping life energy is both dangerous and a delicacy to evil spirits...
This delicacy can be enjoyed by evil spirits, and it can also make them stronger.
So, despite the risk of being burned, they still flock to people whose strong life energy radiates outwards.
It's worth mentioning, this constitution is even more spirit-attracting than Miura Yumiko's, which was caused by the mannequin incident.
In terms of the quality of spirits attracted, Miura's side is simply small fry.
And being friends with someone like this, Miko, who herself has the special ability of Yin-Yang eyes, probably can't avoid seeing all sorts of evil spirits in her daily school life.
"You're done, Miko-chan~"
Hana finally swallowed the food in her mouth and took out another pink dessert from the shopping bag beside her.
"The Strawberry Butt Daifuku is almost gone, do you want some?"
Strawberry Butt Daifuku?
What's that?
Luke's thoughts were immediately pulled away by this strange name.
"You eat it, I'm not done yet. Can I trouble you to look after this person for me again?"
Miko pointed at Niguredou on his arm.
"Mmm—where did you pick her up from?"
Hana poked her cheek with her finger, trying hard to recall.
"She looks kind of familiar. What happened to her?"
So it's because two daifuku put together look like a butt shape, that's why it's called Strawberry Butt Daifuku?
Luke focused his attention on the daifuku in Hana's hand.
"She's a classmate from the next class. We kind of picked her up, I guess."
Miko made up a reason: "She got scared and fainted just now, can you help take care of her?"
"Of course, leave her to me!"
The warm-hearted Hana proudly puffed out her chest, "Does she need something to eat?"
"Just prepare a glass of ice water for her."
After instructing her friend, Miko turned to him and said, "Teacher, let's go."
"Okay."
The two left the dessert shop...
Hana looked at the peacefully sleeping Niguredou, gently placed her head on her own lap, picked up a daifuku from the bag, and stuffed another bite into her mouth.
Eating the dessert, Hana vaguely thought:
"Seems like there was a boy with Miko-chan?"
"Forget it, I'll ask her when Miko-chan is done~ Mmm~ this Daifuku is so yummy."
...
Miko and Luke returned to the cursed building.
On the way, she had already fully shared the story about Yuria and the cursed building with him.
"That girl named Niguredou Yuria is actually a high school student?" Luke exclaimed in surprise.
That height isn't an elementary schooler? Does she even reach 1.5 meters?
Miko helplessly lowered her head, "Teacher, you're focusing on the wrong point. The point is her Yin-Yang eyes."
"Oh, right."
Being corrected, he confirmed: "So, you're saying she has Yin-Yang eyes like you, but can only see weak evil spirits, is that right?"
"Yes." Miko nodded in confirmation.
"I haven't had any interaction with her, so she shouldn't be acting, deliberately pretending not to see those big evil spirits."
This was the second person he had seen born with Yin-Yang eyes.
Whereas people like Miko, who developed Yin-Yang eyes later for unknown reasons, were the exceptions.
So Luke thought for a moment and said, "...Then after dealing with this building, I'll take a look at her."
"Okay." Receiving his promise, Miko, who was worried about Yuria, felt a bit more at ease.
But he couldn't feel at ease, because Niguredou Yuria was a minor issue, the main point was actually the girl named Hana...
So he continued, "You should pay more attention to your round-faced friend."
"Hm?" Miko didn't understand.
He didn't continue, thinking of a solution in his mind...
Around Miko are Hana and Niguredou: one with terrifyingly strong life energy, one with innate Yin-Yang eyes;
Plus herself, with acquired Yin-Yang eyes...
It's the perfect combination to attract evil spirits; when they gather together, the danger will definitely multiply.
He thought the tools prepared for Miko were enough for her to handle general situations, but it turned out he underestimated the severity of the situation...
With the special abilities of these three, even if they summoned some evil god one day in the future, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
So, the most needed thing now is to let her improve herself...
Having made up his mind, Luke scanned the entire cursed building, up and down, as well as the surrounding structures.
It indeed looked like the kind of place that easily accumulates filth according to experience; there should be no shortage of various evil spirits inside suitable for practice.
It seems today he doesn't need to specifically find a place to train Miko, this building should be enough...
Moreover—
"The location of this building looks quite good."
According to Miko's description: this was a building where accidents would occur whenever demolition was planned, resulting in delays until now.
And after his exorcism today, such things wouldn't happen anymore, and normal business could proceed.
So he was now somewhat interested in this building; he seemed to be able to purchase this building for business purposes.
However, leaving this matter for Kasumizuki to consider seems better...
After all, it's better for an adult to handle such matters.
Kasumizuki can find enough merchants.
And he himself only needs to give her a little benefit, then he wouldn't need to worry about these trivial matters.
Luke made up his mind, keeping this matter in his heart.
Hearing his words, Miko looked at the gloomy, terrifying building, and wiped her eyes uncertainly:
"G-go...good?"
"Of course it's good, let's go in."
"Ah? Will it be okay? There are many evil spirits inside."
Miko couldn't help but ask.
The evil spirits she glimpsed inside this building just now were stronger and more numerous than the ones in the alley before.
And she hadn't seen his actual strength...
So the kind-hearted Miko was worried for him.
However, the one taking action today wasn't him...
"This is the cursed building, not the Pentagon. With me here, how dangerous can it be?" Luke explained.
"Besides, isn't danger just right? Perfect as your training ground."
Miko tilted her head, not reacting.
After a moment of daze, Miko suddenly pointed at herself: "Am I supposed to deal with the evil spirits here myself?"
"Yep."
So Miko, who had just understood what was going on, was caught off guard and dragged into the cursed building by him...
Returning once again to the center of the area filled with evil spirits, Miko stared blankly at the dust-covered ground, and the hair-pulling evil spirit—
Such a familiar place.
