Chapter 63: Familiar Task!
"Did you bring the dagger I gave you?" Luke asked the dazed Miko.
"Ah... brought it."
Miko, not knowing how she ended up in the building, replied blankly, and also took out the familiar dagger from the pocket sewn under her skirt.
She had already used this dagger to deal with several evil spirits...
Her pink underwear was completely stuck to her thighs...
Luke averted his gaze, reminding the once-again frightened girl: "Don't learn that old lady's method of hiding things, your skirt isn't long enough."
"Hm?" Miko cast a puzzled look, slowly regaining her senses, and also remembered her actions just now...
She quickly turned around, her face flushing red as she pinched the hem of her skirt and pulled it down a bit.
'Mmph—I actually lifted my skirt in front of Teacher!'
Miko lowered her head, eyes wide, whispering shyly: "I, I just didn't want it to be confiscated by the school teachers, if, if found, it would be hard to explain..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller...
"Alright." Luke didn't mind, just reminding her.
Time to get down to business.
Luke took out a glass marble from his pocket, held it between two fingers, and gently flicked it out.
Clatter clatter sounds echoed on the ground.
He clenched his fist and adjusted his vision through an alternative method...
Can see it.
The glass marble, sparkling under the sunlight, instantly attracted several evil spirits crawling out.
Not strong.
Not much danger.
"It's up to you, Miko." He looked at the evil spirits and said.
Miko's back tensed up, she raised her head and looked at the crawling evil spirits—
"Up, up to me?"
"Of course."
"O, okay."
Looking at the evil spirits gathered together, staring at the glass marble he threw, Miko tremblingly picked up the dagger, took a deep breath to adjust her mindset.
Her gaze gradually became firm...
'Yes!'
'I can't always rely on others...'
'There will be times when I'm alone, I must also strive to improve.'
Miko raised the dagger...
'Evil spirits! Prepare to die!'
"Eh?" The evil spirits sensed something wrong, turned their heads in unison, pulling up the eyeball tendons hanging in their eye sockets, aiming their eyeballs at the girl, staring at her.
And so, Miko's dagger and expression both froze.
The evil spirits ignored the small glass marble, gathered around her, their eyeballs outside the sockets swinging back and forth, looking at the frightened girl...
"Mmph—"
Miko's smile froze on her face, the dagger held before her chest slowly lowered, she slowly turned around.
"Ahaha... the weather is really nice today~ exploring the cursed building is so scary."
Miko had little pearls dropping from the corners of her eyes, her shoulders trembling non-stop, she looked pitifully at Luke...
'Save save save save save me! So scary! So terrifying!'
This skill of pretending not to see had truly been practiced to perfection by her.
Luke was extremely helpless about this.
But...
He said coolly and ruthlessly: "Stop acting cute, I don't fall for that."
Yotsuya Miko could only turn back again, looking at the eyeballs hanging like pendants before her eyes, took a deep breath, stopped her trembling body, and mustered her courage.
"Hey! I'm behind you to help, don't be afraid, just attack directly."
Miko nodded lightly.
Since there was no way back, then let's do it, Teacher will help her... right?
She finally raised the dagger, took another deep breath, brewing her courage, then suddenly aimed at the tendon connecting the eyeball and stabbed forcefully.
As expected, the dagger sank into the tendon without any resistance, severing the connection.
The eyeball completely detached from the socket, fell to the ground, and turned into a puff of black mist.
'Ah! I did it...'
Miko slightly opened her mouth, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart...
The grievances and frustrations of being scared and bullied by evil spirits in the past seemed to have all disappeared.
"Can see—!"
The evil spirits let out roars, aiming various controllable organs at her and smashing them down...
"Ah!"
Seeing the huge fist, Miko, tightly gripping the dagger, still couldn't help but shut her eyes tightly, raising the dagger high, her body involuntarily stepping back two steps...
Pat.
Her back was supported by a hand... Miko felt the hand behind her.
"Don't close your eyes, watch its attack."
Hearing his words in her ear, Miko slowly opened her eyes—
That fist, as large as half a person, heavy and powerful, landed on his wooden sword, yet it was like a light feather.
"Their attacks, use your prayer beads to defend."
Another evil spirit smashed down...
"Raise your arm."
Miko extended the arm full of prayer beads, nervously looking at her thin wrist colliding with the evil spirit's thick arm.
Although it was heavy, there was no pain.
Blocked, blocked it?!
Miko's eyes widened slightly, looking in surprise at the prayer beads shining with light.
"Don't daze off, take the chance to finish it."
His palm gently pushed Miko's body forward.
With a strong sense of security, Miko plunged the dagger into the evil spirit's body, slashing heavily...
The evil spirit subsequently dispersed.
"Huff~ Huff~" Miko looked at the large evil spirit dissipating under her hand, continuously exhaling warm breath from her mouth.
She, she did it.
She personally killed a large evil spirit.
Luke continued to direct Miko:
"Don't daze off, continue, I'm behind you."
"Even if you really don't dare to face the evil spirits, I can still help you."
"But you ultimately have Yin-Yang eyes, and I won't always be by your side, so... at least learn to have some self-protection ability."
Yotsuya Miko didn't reply, just gripped the dagger tighter, nodding heavily.
Soon, under his protection, she became more and more proficient, and the evil spirits on the first floor of the cursed building were quickly eliminated completely.
The state here, even an ordinary person could clearly feel the difference from before; the feeling that made one uncomfortable all over, the thick malice emanating from the surroundings, completely disappeared.
