A dozen or so minutes later.
Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly.
Using the method Lin had taught her, she increased her exposed life energy to lure the evil spirit away.
She planned to find a place to vanquish it.
However, after walking around for a bit, she couldn't find a convenient spot to make her move.
So, what should she do?
Slowing her pace, Yotsuya Miko walked forward slowly, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the evil spirit following beside her.
She began to rack her brain for a countermeasure.
"I've got it (o°▽°)o ☆!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.
Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up as she thought of a solution.
She silently mobilized the Aura within her body.
She returned her exposed life energy to the level of a normal person.
No, even lower than a normal person.
"???"
At the same time, the evil spirit following Yotsuya Miko was clearly taken aback.
Like a confused Travolta meme.
What happened?
Why did the 'delicious meal' before it suddenly disappear?
The confusion flashed past.
The evil spirit looked left and right, then finally headed toward a small alley.
"Yes, it worked!"
Observing this scene from the corner of her eye, Yotsuya Miko felt a surge of joy, a smile gracing the corners of her lips.
She felt exceptionally clever.
After dealing with the evil spirit problem, Yotsuya Miko turned and headed for the station.
"Next up is....."
She pondered where to go.
To Lin's house?
Suddenly recalling something, Yotsuya Miko's pretty face flushed slightly.
She had also made up her mind.
She was going home.
For the sake of Lin's body, she felt she should go home first.
Besides, she had been out for so long. With her mother home alone, she, as a daughter, couldn't let her worry too much.
Yes, that's it.
Having found an excuse for herself, Yotsuya Miko took out her phone, found Lin's LINE, and sent a message.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lin didn't receive the message.
The barrier covering his room isolated it from outside detection, and even the cell phone signal couldn't penetrate the interior.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Inner Moka pitted her vampire body against Lin's perfect physical body.
Evidently, Lin was the ultimate victor.
After all, the perfect physical body was incomparably powerful.
What does perfect mean?
Naturally, it means having no flaws.
No shortcomings in any physical attribute.
To put it simply, he was a hexagonal warrior.
No, he should be called a circular warrior.
"Let me take over."
Seeing Inner Moka fall, Lin looked at her with a grin and flipped over.
In an instant, offense and defense were reversed.
At the same time, Yotsuya Miko also returned home.
After greeting her mother, she went to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes.
Then, she washed her clothes, hung them to dry, and returned to her room.
Outside the window, clouds rolled and unfurled across the sky.
An hour passed.
Inner Moka chose a strategic retreat.
A blissfully weary smile appeared on Akashiya Moka's face as she slowly closed her eyes, faint traces of tears visible at their corners.
Seeing this, Lin wiped away her tears.
Starlight interwoven with gold and purple bloomed from his hand as he activated Sky Magic.
A warm and comfortable sensation washed over her.
Akashiya Moka slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
Lin placed a light kiss on her forehead, covered her with a thin blanket, then got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
As he reached the doorway, the barrier dispelled.
His phone, placed on the round table next to the bed, lit up.
No vibration, no ringtone.
After all, with such a fierce battle raging, getting distracted midway would be a grave mistake.
A dozen or so minutes later.
Lin returned to the bedroom after his shower.
He took a white bathrobe from the closet, put it on, picked up the phone from the table, unlocked it, and saw a message notification.
It was from Yotsuya Miko.
She said that after finishing her shopping with Yurikawa Hana, she had gone straight home.
After reading the message, he replied with a simple 'Okay'.
"What were you doing?"
On the other end, Yotsuya Miko saw that Lin was only replying now, and that the message had been in an 'unread' state the whole time.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious.
However, she had no intention of prying.
Just then, a new message from Lin arrived:
"Miko, you have a new sister-in-arms."
"Huh???"
Seeing this message, Yotsuya Miko was completely baffled.
"Wait a minute...!"
She suddenly remembered what Lin had confessed to her before.
She instantly understood what he meant.
She just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Although she had already mentally prepared herself, now that the moment had truly arrived, she still felt a pang of sourness.
However, before she could dwell on that sour feeling.
Lin's message popped up again:
"Miko, you'll definitely be surprised when you find out who she is."
"Definitely be surprised..."
Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment.
She furrowed her brows lightly, a hint of doubt and curiosity appearing in her eyes.
It seemed the other party was no ordinary person.
Lin had even used the word 'definitely'.
Just then, a new message appeared:
"She's not human."
"??!"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly.
A look of shock surfaced.
Not human, what could she be?
Wait!
Could it be that...
Yotsuya Miko suddenly thought of something and typed a reply to Lin:
"Could it be an evil spirit?"
Thinking of the terrifying appearance of evil spirits, Yotsuya Miko swallowed hard.
Her expression became a little strange.
If it really was an evil spirit...
Then she had to admire Lin's appetite; it was truly extreme.
If it really was an evil spirit...
Was it too late for her to back out of being Lin's retainer?
The thought of Lin entangled with an evil spirit sent goosebumps crawling all over her skin.
Ewww~~~~~
On the other side, in Nerima Ward.
"(´_ゝ`)"
Seeing Yotsuya Miko's reply, Lin was momentarily speechless.
How did she even think of evil spirits?
Given how they looked, it would be utterly outrageous if he could harbor any such thoughts.
Now, if it were a cute, soft-voiced, gentle, and easily pushable ghost girl...
Or a sexy, gentle, and understanding ghost onee-san, that would be a different story.
Lin: "What are you thinking about in that little head of yours? Moka's true identity is actually a vampire."
"A vampire?!"
Yotsuya Miko's mouth fell slightly open.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment.
So vampires really exist in this world!
And her man had taken one as a retainer!
At that moment, a new message popped up again:
"Oh, and there's one more thing..."
······And so on.
