Another attack missed.
"Where are you looking?"
While still looking around, a voice came from above her head. Amelia looked up and saw the boy leaping more than ten meters in the air.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
A silver light flashed, reflecting a dazzling luster.
With a detour, he dodged one dart and was hit by two.
The darts were moving too fast and their tracks were too strange. If three darts were fired at once, they would basically hit the target. Amelia was already very strong because she was able to dodge one dart.
But Amelia acted as if she hadn't been hit by the dart, and she leaped up and rushed towards the boy in the air.
It can be observed that the wound pierced by the dart is slowly healing without bleeding.
Is this the healing power of vampires?
It's really eye-catching, no, it's really terrifying.
It's just that the opponent chose to fight him in the air.
But in this case, the cat owner's balance ability will crush the other party.
As expected, the opponent successfully caught two elbow strikes and one sweep.
Fall to the ground and continue fighting.
The wind was howling, and the two of them were so fast that they left afterimages.
How powerful is the enhanced physique of a vampire?
It seems that he has surpassed his cat owner. In terms of physique, he has at least an S grade.
However, the other party does not have the characteristics of the cat owner, such as: super dynamic vision, super flexibility, super sharpness, etc.
With the help of Wu MAX, even if the physique is not as good as the vampire, he can still defeat it.
His terrifying flexibility allows him to attack from many tricky angles.
But it seems a little un-extraordinary that two "extraordinary people" are now fighting each other.
With a teleportation, Yuzumi Yu instantly appeared behind Amelia, pressed the back of her head, and with a sudden "bang", the girl's head was pressed directly to the ground.
Amelia, who was stronger than him, counterattacked. The boy somersaulted backward and casually shot out five stones and air bullets.
In close combat, he is not at a disadvantage, and can also launch sneak attacks through teleportation, and has air bullets that can cause stable damage. At a long distance, he also has superb dart skills.
To be honest, if the other party wasn't a vampire, I would have died eight hundred times already.
But even if she was a vampire, the ground was covered with her dried black blood.
There is no doubt that the balance will tilt unless the other party can give him some surprises.
For example... illusion or something.
Amelia, who had six holes in her body, did not rush forward. Instead, she stood there, gasping for breath, her eyes fixed on the young man who landed lightly not far away.
"You still want to close the two channels at this level?" Yuzumi Yu said calmly.
It's not sarcasm, just stating a fact, but this fact is a bit ironic.
"It seems that if I don't take it seriously, I'll be looked down upon by Yuzumi-kun."
[The "Blood Day" event phase has been updated]
[Blood Day: Although a human without any "power" fluctuations, he was able to defeat Amelia in human form and successfully gained her attention.]
[Obtain stage reward: 1 full-level experience card]
[Maximum Level Experience Card: Max out all special abilities, or max out all abilities for 30 minutes. 3 uses remaining.]
The sudden system prompt surprised Yuzumi You a little.
Carefully check the information and rewards given by the system this time.
I didn't expect that a simple duel would yield such a rich harvest.
Full level experience card...
"What other means do you have?" Yu Zhuyou gathered his thoughts and said lightly.
"I'm really looked down upon." Amelia smiled faintly, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hands and looking at the sky, saying leisurely, "It's just that it's not easy to perform under the sun.
I believe Yuzumi-kun has also heard some rumors about the Saints. It is true that the Saints' power will be weakened in the sun."
"Hmm?" Yuzumi Yu asked doubtfully, "Isn't that a vampire? What does it have to do with the Saint Clan?"
Hearing this, Amelia's face darkened. "It is not a wise choice to anger a Saint, Yuzumi-kun."
"Is that what irritated you?"
Amelia took a deep breath.
"If this is all Yuzumi-kun's strength, then I don't know what gives him the courage to jump in front of me. But I want to say, why not have another battle at night? Then you will see the true Saint Clan."
"...Are you Batman, Amelia."
"...Hazumi-kun is really relaxed." Amelia's smile was charming and dangerous.
"According to the rules, you've already lost."
"That's true, but I never follow the rules."
"...So what did you promise?"
"Can't I promise if I don't comply?"
"…" Yuzumi Yu was silent.
It has long been said that vampires are not good things.
It is true.
But to put it another way, perhaps it is precisely because of this shamelessness that one can become a powerful vampire.
"I have a question, Amelia," he said after a moment.
"Tell me about it."
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Seeing the other person's strange look, he corrected his words, "I mean, have you ever killed innocent people just to suck their blood?"
Isn't Onmyoji innocent?
Hmm...that remains to be seen.
"That's a bit of a naive question, Yuzumi-kun."
"I know."
"You know that and still ask such a stupid question?"
"Can't I ask innocent questions?" It feels so comfortable to refute the other person with his or her own words.
I finally understand the feeling of my senior sister hitting the boomerang.
"…Why should I answer you?"
"Our relationship isn't that bad."
"...The Saints can survive without relying on bloodsucking." Amelia walked slowly towards the boy.
Yuzumi Yuu stood still.
She continued, "It's the same with eating fruits and vegetables, but fresh blood..." She came to stand in front of the boy, "It makes us feel comfortable."
"Is that so..."
Very comfortable?
How comfortable is it?
There's him and Zhen… ahem.
"Even though I'm right in front of you, you're still unmoved, Yuzumi-kun. You're really confident." Amelia looked at the boy, and their eyes met.
"…"Are you confident?
The confidence that the teleportation cooldown is already ready.
Even at Hegang Hachiman Shrine that day, even when he entered the main hall and faced that powerful spirit, he still avoided the fatal attack by teleporting. This is his confidence.
"If it was at night, facing a Saint who absorbs... energy, I would probably be nervous." The young man said calmly.
"Let's fight again tonight?"
Fighting at night?
Excuse me.
He will fight with Maki in the evening.
"Aren't you still recruiting some talents?" The young man put his hands in his pockets.
Hearing this, Amelia froze with a smile on her face. She quickly took out her phone and took a look. The boy in front of her reminded her with concern, "Today's game will be over soon."
Amelia calmly put her phone away. Her tall figure missed the boy. Her body was covered in blood and she had to change her clothes first. "I'll come see you again when I have time, Yuzumi-kun."
Yuzumi Yu turned sideways and looked at the British girl who was gradually walking away. "I hope I can see that genius again tomorrow."
"He is an Onmyoji, I have confirmed it before." Amelia suddenly stopped and turned around.
She was too lazy to pursue the fact that Yuzumi Yu knew her purpose and who she came for.
"Onmyoji?" In other words...
As if knowing what Yuzumi Yu was thinking, Amelia smiled and said, "Yes, he used the Onmyoji's ability to cheat in the Kyudo tournament."
So the championship belongs to Maki?
But, can it really be considered cheating if Onmyoji uses his own abilities?
After all, spells and the like are their own power and do not require any external force.
"That idiot is lucky." Amelia said this with some disdain, "But he is obviously a guy who can't keep his composure. The consequence of abusing his power is that he is targeted by Mihong's nobles.
Then... I was forced to become one of them, um... in other words, a dog of the nobles."
"Nobles?" Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call them family?
It seems that Europeans really have their own way of calling it.
"Perhaps Yuzumi-kun has never come into contact with nobles..."
The young man interrupted, albeit rudely, "I've come into contact with more than one noble."
Yuzumi Yu, a prospective college student who has already finished high school, comes to Chibazuru Private School, a gathering place for prospective college students aged 18 and above and also a gathering place for aristocrats.
There isn't much else here, mostly nobles.
In other words, there are the most young ladies.
"Just in private school?" Amelia chuckled.
"What else?"
In fact, it's not just in the private school, but also when I traveled through time and space.
"I've also learned about Mihong's private school system. It's just a place where geniuses go to get gilded..."
"It's not gold plating." Yu Zhuyou corrected, "It's the hall leading to Mihong's highest institution of learning, Dongda University."
"Whatever you say, I still want to say one thing. The eldest lady is different from those ruthless nobles." Amelia said slowly, "When they start to take over the affairs of the family,
He will also become a true aristocrat, arrogant, proud, and only concerned with profit."
"..."Biased, Amelia.
That's true for most nobles.
That is indeed the basic principle of nobility, because if you are even a little bit merciful, you will be eaten by others without a bone left.
My wife ten years ago is the best proof.
But, she also has a lovely side, such as... the wooden plaque left at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.
Since his wife has already recovered her memory, there is no need for him to avoid her.
What's more, now he has captured his wife's daughter, which really proves what he said ten years ago.
——You are thinking about my daughter, Yuzumi-kun.
Actually, it didn't come true. It wasn't him who was thinking about Maki, it was Maki who was thinking about him.
He would go and meet his wife, after all, she was his mother-in-law...but he didn't have much time now.
Recovering his thoughts, Yuzumi Yu said calmly, "And then?"
"What I want to say is that the newly promoted Yin-Yang Master has obviously never come into contact with real nobles... In fact, it's not recruiting, it's just saving him. Compared to becoming a dog of the nobles,
I think he would be very happy to be free."
"Freedom?" As expected of a European girl, she values freedom very much, hmm.
"I think he would be very happy to become a dog of a big family, ahem, no, to become a subordinate of a big family." Yuzumi Yu said lightly, "After all, the salary level of Onmyoji should be very high."
"...superficial." Amelia turned and walked away.
It seems I'm too lazy to say anything more.
Yuzumi Yu was too lazy to say more.
The tournament was almost over and he was going to pick up his Maki.
The competition is over.
Fengdai Coffee Shop.
Two people sat opposite each other.
The waiter brought the coffee.
Sato Sho was a little restless, but his expression remained calm. As a handsome boy since he was a child, he had been asked out by many girls and was already used to it.
But I have never been asked out for coffee by a beauty of this level.
The bright red trench coat and black leather pants perfectly outlined her tall figure, which was very tall, much taller than him.
That face was extremely beautiful and completely met all of Sato Sho's fantasies about European beauties, with deep facial features, classical elegance, and stunning beauty.
Girls of this level.
Only the one he happened to see backstage could compare to him.
Speaking of that person, he also met him by chance.
He was deeply fascinated by those peach blossom eyes and the fair and cold expression at just one glance.
Unable to extricate myself.
As a man with extraordinary powers, it would be a lie to say that he was not arrogant. When he saw the girl for the first time, he thought to himself - only a girl like this is worthy of me!
Then he broke up with his girlfriend on the phone.
No, she's my ex-girlfriend now.
Sato Sho, ah, Sato Sho, you are a person with extraordinary abilities, you must be confident!
Besides, he is very handsome and is recognized as the most handsome in the school.
So he went to talk to the girl with peach blossom eyes, but she ignored him and was pulled away by the staff for "harassing other contestants."
That feeling of indifference made him very uncomfortable.
He was thinking of some kind of witchcraft.
When he was in high school, he accidentally got a book that contained many spells, including one on how to make people fall in love with him.
But...that spell is against the harmony of nature, so he has never used it, or rather, he dared not use it.
The person under the spell will indeed slowly fall in love with him, but will also slowly lose their spirituality and become a puppet that only loves him.
He was stunned when he saw everyone.
Isn't that equivalent to death!
So, I dare not use it at all.
However, the girl with peach blossom eyes was so beautiful that he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
But now everything seems to be radiant, because a very beautiful girl has taken the initiative to ask him out for coffee.
"Well, what exactly do you want to do by asking me out?" he said calmly.
There was really no way to stop talking because the other party was staring at him for a long time.
"What are you thinking about?" Amelia asked lightly.
"No, nothing." Why are you stuttering, Sato Sho! You are a person with extraordinary abilities!
Amelia narrowed her eyes slightly, which made the long-haired boy opposite her even more nervous.
His ability to sense emotions told her something; he was indeed a new Onmyoji.
Very easy to fool.
She started beating around the bush with the other party.
For example, yearning for freedom, or preferring a high-paying job but having to be a slave for the rest of your life.
Sato Sho is not a pure person like Yuzumi Yu, so taking a detour is a good choice.
Compared to freedom, I prefer to have a stable job." This is what Sato Sho said.
"Like being the dog of a large family?"
"Um... beautiful lady, there's something wrong with what you said. The fact that I've been recognized by a large family shows that I'm very capable. I can create value for them, so they hired me.
This isn't about being a family dog, it's about being ahead of the crowd."
"..." These words almost confused Amelia.
Just be a family dog and you're a dog. Why put it in such a respectable and nice way?
Looking at the other party's reaction, Sato Sho, who seemed to think his words were very charming, began to speak.
Amelia interrupted him and got straight to the point, "You have extraordinary abilities, Sato-kun."
From astonishment to surprise, to disbelief, then confusion, and finally, some joy.
Why was he so happy? Since the other party could say that he had extraordinary abilities, he must be someone of the same kind as him.
In a world full of ordinary people, what does it feel like to accidentally meet someone like you?
It was like meeting a fellow countryman in faraway Europe, and that fellow countryman was a very good-looking person of the opposite sex.
There is a special feeling.
That very unique feeling that you two are the only ones in the world.
Become special with beautiful women, and become unique in the world with beautiful women.
The Return of the Condor Heroes?
"What are you thinking about?" Amelia narrowed her eyes.
Those blue eyes were quite oppressive, but the long wavy golden hair added a charming touch.
"Ahem, nothing."
After some communication.
Amelia felt deeply helpless.
Yuzumi-kun was right. Compared to freedom, the guy in front of him prefers to be a dog in a big family.
Let's give it one last try. If it doesn't work, we can only kill him.
"They'll watch you and not give you any privacy," Amelia said.
"I'll let them give me some private space," said Sato Sho.
"Where do you get your confidence from?"
"Miss, you don't seem to know how strong I am."
"How strong?"
"I can do anything you can imagine."
"..." Amelia said helplessly, "Do you think the Yin-Yang Master of a big family is just a decoration?"
"No, because I will be one of them."
"…"
"Miss, compared to living in the open air, a glorious and respectable job is a better choice."
Even though Amelia told Sato Sho some truths about this world, he still thought he was the most special one.
And like most people, he serves the family. No, according to Sato Sho, the family gives him money and he serves as a tribute to the big family.
A very nb statement.
worship?
Who is he?
A newly promoted Onmyoji dares to say such things.
This is someone who has never been beaten.
Amelia was silent.
The communication was not very pleasant, or perhaps Sato Sho's ideas were too naive.
Amelia was about to take action, but after thinking about it, she stopped the idea. As a new and innocent Onmyoji, he could definitely be taken under her wing.
There are still some opportunities until the end, so don't rush to eliminate them.
"Miss, do you have anything else to say?" The handsome man with long flowing hair, Sato Sho, said with a smile.
The smile is very bright and sunny - this is how Sato Sho thinks of himself.
Given the feedback from her emotional sensing abilities, Amelia remained calm and simply reminded him, "Put aside the thought of abusing your 'supernormal' power. This world has a low tolerance for 'supernormal' individuals."
How low?
It is so low that as long as there is suspected interference from supernatural forces, an Onmyoji will come to check.
As long as there is any remnant of "power", they will be hunted down directly.
There are many extraordinary people among Onmyoji, including fortune-telling and tracking, so it is not easy to find someone.
It's okay if it's used against ordinary people, but once you deal with those big families, do you really think that big families don't have the ability to guard against "supernatural" powers?
Anyone who dares to use it will basically be sentenced to death.
So the best choice is not to abuse "supernatural" abilities, no matter who you are using them on.
Because I used my extraordinary abilities on that person, I don't know whether that person is a noble or not. Real nobles are not that ostentatious.
The residual power is inevitable. As long as the ability is used, there will be residual power. No one, including Amelia herself, can eliminate the residual power.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
Ten years before Mihong, a very terrifying thing happened.
It was kept secret, and she only found out about it in recent years when she became a leader among the "superhumans".
Ten years before Mi Hong, there was a "suspected" supernatural being who single-handedly strangled a hundred fully-equipped people. How terrifying was that?
After receiving the news, Mi Hong, the powerful Yin-Yang Master, rushed to the scene in less than an hour and began to detect the remaining power.
The most shocking thing is that there is no trace of "power" left at all, which means that it was not done by an extraordinary person.
Isn't it shocking that an ordinary person can accomplish something that even extraordinary people find difficult to do?
That was a change in the Mihong family.
Onmyojis or extraordinary people are not allowed to interfere with the family. This is a strict rule. Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed. After all, Mihong is still the world of those families, not the group of people who are lucky enough to obtain "extraordinary powers".
This is the consensus of the big family and the basis for maintaining family interests. It cannot be tested!
In the end, the existence of the single person who strangled hundreds of people was not found out. The basic reason was that the person was not "supernormal" and did not have any fluctuations of "power" on his body.
As long as it's not extraordinary.
Because there are not only extraordinary people in the world, there are also many masters, but their extraordinary powers are beyond ordinary people.
Speaking of which, there is no fluctuation of power, but he is more like an extraordinary person than an extraordinary person. This made Amelia think of a person.
Is it him?
She cleared her mind of distracting thoughts.
How could it be him? That was ten years ago. Ten years ago, that kid was playing in the mud somewhere.
It seems that there are still many masters in the world. There was one ten years ago, and now she has met another one.
Although there is no "supernormal" power fluctuation, it can display supernormal abilities, which is quite magical.
stop!
Stop thinking.
"Abuse?" I don't know if it's because he's over the initial shyness or he's already revealed his true colors, but Sato Sho is no longer as nervous as he was before when asked out by a beautiful woman. He just smiled and said,
"I just want to be myself."
This made Amelia frown slightly. Be herself?
"Change your mind?" she asked calmly.
"No." Sato Sho said calmly, "If I want to gain the respect of the big family, I need to be stronger."
"...No matter how powerful you become, you still won't be respected."
"Then I will be strong enough to not need their respect." Sato Sho now has no such nervousness, but is full of youthful vigor.
Maybe he wants to show off in front of the good-looking opposite sex, or maybe he really has a great dream in his heart.
"..." Amelia was silent.
Half an hour later, at a remote beach, a tall British girl wiped the bright red from her hands with a handkerchief, her expression calm.
After wiping it clean, he threw the handkerchief into the sea, where it was swept away by the surging waves.
Although the archery "genius" Sato Sho was a newly promoted Onmyoji, there was a high possibility that he would be recruited by her, it would just take more talking, but she was too lazy to waste time talking to an idiot.
If you have this much time, you might as well spend more time talking to Yuzumi-kun.
Standing on the rocks on the coast, Amelia lowered her brows in thought, letting the sea breeze brush across her cheeks and lift up strands of golden hair.
She came to Mihong for a reason.
Recruiting subordinates is just a side job.
What's more important is her big plan.
It won't be long before a group of her men will arrive in Mihong's territory.
- Delays in obtaining visas.
She is a British citizen, so she can come to Mihong visa-free, but her stay cannot exceed 90 days. If she wants to stay longer, she will need to obtain a visa.
Amelia is not an illegal immigrant; she is a person of real status—a medical doctor from an Ivy League school.
Academic papers with her name can also be seen in the "Four Major Journals" of the global medical community.
Her full name is – Raphael Amelia.
Of course, these are not worth mentioning, as Yuzumi-kun said.
It's just an identity.
...
Yuzumi Yu has already picked up Maki who has finished the game and returned to the hotel.
Continue practicing the piano.
[Rain stagnates between the sky]
[Like tears welling up in my eyes]
This may be the last time we meet.
"You, even though I don't understand, I'm so sad." The two of them were on the balcony, watching the sunset, and Maki leaned against the boy.
One of them sat cross-legged with a guitar in his arms, while the other stretched out his legs and slightly bent them.
The dim sunlight covered the two of them with a golden gauze.
The black hair is tinged with golden color.
There was a warm yellow glow in his eyes.
Stopping what he was doing, Yuzumi Yu thought for a moment and changed the song.
[I don't like you because you're handsome]
[I like it so I look handsome]
[It doesn't matter if I'm treated as an idiot]
[Because you are the "hero" in my heart]
Maki's voice was pleasant, but it was obvious that she didn't sing much. It was just that her beautiful voice, combined with her current smile, gave the song an off-key sweetness.
The boy's voice was also clear and pleasant.
As he often plays and sings by himself, it is obvious that his tune is more accurate.
[I don't like you because you're cute]
[It's cute because I like it]
[It doesn't matter if I'm treated as an idiot]
[Because you are the "heroine" in my heart]
——好きだから (because I like you)
The two sang together, the dim light of the setting sun fell on their hair, giving off a crystal luster. The beautiful boy and girl seemed to have become a short-lived painting of youth.
Play the piano and sing in front of the person you like.
In front of the person you like, listen to him/her playing the piano and singing in chorus.
In front of the person you like, rely on each other.
You can feel the slight movement of the other person's body when they strum the guitar, and you can feel the slight shaking of the other person's head when they sing.
What does it matter to him whether he has a spirit or not? What does it matter to her whether she has a spirit or not?
Only a very small number of people can see spirits, and even fewer survive and possess extraordinary powers. This does not affect the operation of the entire world.
It doesn't affect them either.
As for Amelia and the "Blood Day" incident, let's put it aside for now. He won't give up easily without fully understanding the other party's thoughts.
He didn't understand Amelia, let alone her true thoughts. What if she really wanted the bloody sun to rise?
The bloody sun rises, and although I don't know the specific meaning, it sounds like a word that will destroy the world.
This is not good.
So he won't provide any help, but of course, he won't hinder it either.
He will only take action when necessary.
For example, the other party really wants to make the bloody sun rise or something.
But then again, the Blood Day rewards are very rich, and he was only given a full-level experience card at the beginning.
If the subsequent rewards are rich enough, he may choose to help Amelia.
Being helpful is just one of his many virtues and is not worth mentioning.
I turned on the system and browsed the full-level experience card again while playing the guitar. I have three chances. I really want to use it once to see what all the full-level abilities are like.
Hold on, hold on, he is an excellent ninja.
After playing, there was silence for a while, and Yuzumi Yu suddenly said, "Maki, please lend me your hand."
Senior Ikema turned around and looked at me. Her peach blossom eyes looked charming, but a little silly. What was going on?
"Is that so, Yuu?"
"Eh? Wait..."
In order to stop the senior from having overly evil thoughts, Yuzumi Yu opened the system and brought up the lottery interface.
It's time to draw August's special abilities.
Holding the senior sister's slender hand, he pressed the floating lottery interface.
'Extract!'
[Evolution: 5700-5600]
[Extracting special abilities...]
"May Senior Sister bless you, Wu MAX... No, may Luck MAX bless you."
[Obtain special ability - Passionate Blood]
'?'
Strange name.
Let's read the introduction first.
[Hot Blood Level 1: After reciting the line "Wake up! When I awaken this power, there will be no turning back! Either you fall, or... I will drag your body to the end together!"
Activate at will. Within one minute, ignore the cooldown of other special abilities and use other special abilities without restrictions. Cooldown: 24h]
'...'
Upgrade, must upgrade, nothing much to say.
The lines are too long. It's okay if they are a bit childish, after all, they are in line with the word "hot-blooded". But it's long. What if it is interrupted?
What if the opponent rushed over while he was reciting his lines?
If his lines were not shortened, he might have to practice rap.
'Upgrade your passion.'
[Evolution: 5600-4600]
The evolution degree is really not enough. I have to practice the guitar and upgrade the guitar level as soon as possible so that I can get enough evolution degree by the end of the guitar event.
[Hot Blood Level 2: After reciting the line 'This boiling power within me is not meant for retreat!', activate it at will. For five minutes, ignore the cooldown of other special abilities.
Unlimited use of other special abilities. After the "Hot Blood" period ends, all used abilities enter the "Accumulated Cooling Down" period. Cooling Down: 24 hours.
[Cumulative Cooldown: The number of times you have used abilities during the "Hot Blood" period x the cooldown time is equal to the current cooldown. For example, "Grandpa Level 2" has a cooldown of 1 hour and has been used 6 times during the "Hot Blood" period.
The total cooling time is 6x1=6h, so the cumulative cooling time of "Uncle" is 6h.
Look carefully, word for word.
Very good, the lines are shortened a lot, but it's still a bit childish, but it doesn't matter, after all, the name of this special ability is "hot-blooded"?
Tolerable.
It seems that this "Hot Blood Level 2" has a lot to introduce, but it is actually not complicated. It's just that the system description is a bit complicated.
In general, during the period of "Hot Blood", he can use special abilities without restrictions, but the abilities used will be recorded as cooldowns and will be settled together after the "Hot Blood" ends.
Just like the cooldown of level 2 Instant is 1 minute, if he uses it 100 times during the "Hot Blood" period, then after the "Hot Blood" state ends, the ability "Instant" will start to cool down.
The cooling time is 100 times multiplied by the cooling time of a single time, that is, 100x1 minute = 100 minutes.
That is to say, after the "Hot Blood" ends, if he uses the ability of Shun 100 times, then the ability of Shun will enter a 100-minute cooldown.
Um...overspending? No, overdraft spending?
It seems like there is no cooldown, but in fact the cooldowns are already stacking up, and they are only settled together at the end.
Comparing the level 1 and level 2 heat, the level 1 heat duration is short, but the cooldown is not superimposed. The level 2 heat duration increases to 5 times, but the cooldown will be superimposed.
The former has no side effects, while the latter does... can they be considered side effects? It's just a premature cooling, so it can't really be considered a side effect.
However, after the level 2 blood is used up, he will have a period of vacuum.
But the burst time of level 2 is longer, a full 5 minutes without cooldown. During these 5 minutes, even if he cannot deal with the enemy, he can escape quickly with the help of teleportation without cooldown.
What's more, it's not really a vacuum period.
After all, the cooldown of "Uncle" and "Shun" is quite long, especially "Uncle", which can only be used once in a battle, and the rest can only rely on his cat master and Wu MAX.
Fortunately, the superposition of Cat Master and Wu MAX perfectly achieved the effect of 1+1>2. During the vacuum period, his special ability was just cooling down, but Cat Master and Wu MAX remained unchanged.
Can this also be considered a vacuum period?
In the first incident, he was still weak without the cat owner, but with just his Wu MAX, he was able to protect one person and rush out among a hundred people.
Not to mention there are cat owners now.
Can this also be considered a vacuum period?
Finally, when asked which one is better, level 1 or level 2, Yuzumi Yu thinks it is level 2.
"Uncle" is very strong, but the cooldown is too long. "Instant" is very strong, but 60s is too long. 5 minutes of no cooldown can completely make up for its lack of sustained burst.
Five minutes of no cooldown?... That's terrifying.
What if it's five minutes of no cooldown plus a full-level experience card... I can't even imagine it.
No, it shouldn't be five minutes of passion, it should be full-level passion! How strong can full-level passion be?
The transformation from 1000 to 10000 should be a qualitative change, no longer just no cooldown, so that it is worth the 10,000 evolution degrees spent to upgrade it to level 3!
The special ability "Hot Blood" is definitely the most powerful one he has ever drawn, raising his upper limit to an unimaginable and terrifying level.

Seeing a row of emotion value objects, he thought of Amelia. With that girl's appearance, it should be no problem for her to become an emotion value object, but...
After all, he is a European and it is impossible for him to stay in Mihong for a long time. In addition, he is not really short of emotional points now, so even if he feels that the other party is suitable, he will not choose the other party.
Look down——
Moment, party, passion...
Maki, you are indeed lucky!
Maki, he really loves his Maki so much.
Squeezing the other's soft little hand, the boy leaned over and said, "Maki, I love you so much."
"What's wrong?" Senior Ikema looked at him with amusement.
"Hands are so soft." Hands are lucky.
"There are calluses." The senior student had a faint smile on her face, but she didn't seem distant. Instead, her eyes, which gradually deepened in smile, seemed very intimate.
"It's impossible to practice martial arts without calluses."
"The calluses are uncomfortable to touch," Maki said with a smile.
"I just love to be touched." Yuzumi Yu had a serious expression on his face, as if he was a gentleman sent from heaven, but he said something so inappropriate that made Ikema Maki laugh.
If you said this to someone else, no matter who it was, it would be perverted, but the relationship between the two of them...it couldn't be more perverted.
"You." Maki suddenly withdrew her hand. The boy looked at her in confusion, only to see her reaching out to her neck and removing the rope that had been hanging there.
The red string was connected to a bullet, something Maki had carefully kept.
After removing the bullet from the rope, she handed the rope to the boy.
Whispering, "This rope can protect you..."
Yuzumi Yu looked over and saw two rope ends hanging quietly from his palms. They were just ordinary ropes, with nothing special about them. He could only vaguely see a small knot on them.
It must have been broken once.
The protection that Maki was talking about was definitely not an ordinary "protection", but a protection that could deal with "supernatural" beings like Onmyoji.
Holding the other person's hand and pushing it back, facing that puzzled and cute look, Yuzumi Yu smiled lightly and said, "I am the best in the world."
"But You is not extraordinary..."
"How do you know?" Yuzumi You said with a smile.
Ikema Maki lowered her eyebrows and said without hiding anything, "Do you remember that Yu was injured ten years ago and my mother arranged for a doctor to examine your wound?"
"I have an impression, what's wrong?"
"Among them is the Onmyoji."
"Oh..." Yuzumi Yu didn't dwell on this issue. Since all the big families knew about 'Onmyoji', there would naturally be no problem in conducting the test.
After testing, his wound was still bandaged.
But... "Since the Ikema family has an Onmyoji, why not send him out?" Yuzumi Yu said.
Just from that wave in the elevator, we knew that the other party did not send out the Onmyoji, otherwise, in such a dangerous situation, it would not be his turn to take action.
"Onmyojis are not allowed to interfere in anything." Maki said calmly, looking at him softly, "This includes any extraordinary beings. They are not allowed to interfere in anything."
"Hmm?" Yuzumi Yu didn't understand, and in fact he was too lazy to think about it. Maki was right in front of him, so what could be done faster than asking her? "Why?" he asked.
"Because supernatural powers will disrupt the world and bring instability, it is the consensus of everyone to prohibit all supernatural forces from interfering." Zhenji answered gently.
Is that so...
"Of course, this is the superficial explanation." As she spoke, Ikema Maki took the boy's hand and wrapped the red rope around it, saying, "The fundamental reason is that the 'supernatural' power is a variable.
This world doesn't need variables."
Yuzumi Yu understood what was said.
The other party spoke very tactfully, but I could still understand his meaning.
What this means is that supernatural powers make people feel uneasy, especially a group of families, so it is necessary to effectively control the supernatural.
If you don't have the strength, doing this is of course courting death, but... the combat team equipped with high-tech and sophisticated equipment will explain everything.
Not to mention the huge disadvantage that "superhumans" can see spirits, while ordinary people cannot.
The ability to use someone else's force to counter their own will be able to suppress all supernatural beings. Spirits pose a huge threat to supernatural beings, but pose basically no threat to ordinary people.
For example, the Aigen, Jinwu, Torii Samurai, and Golden Armor Samurai that Yu Yu has met so far.
They pose no threat to ordinary people.
Even Aihan, who seemed to pose the greatest threat, had been nurtured for such a long time, and all she could do was allow Minako to have a good dream and sleep more soundly.
Coming back to his senses, noticing Maki's actions, Yuzumi Yuu smiled helplessly and took off the red rope from his hand, "I am the strongest."
Ikema-senpai's charming peach blossom eyes stared at him seriously for a long while, "Okay, Yu is the strongest."
In fact, Maki is not afraid of "supernormal". From her tone and words, it can be seen that she has neither so-called awe nor fear of "supernormal".
Maki was just a little confused because of her concern. The extraordinary power was still a little strange and unpredictable.
As a princess of a big family, she should not be afraid of those so-called "supernatural" people, but those "supernatural" people should need to please her.
After all, from what she meant, even if one is extraordinary, one still needs to live according to the wishes of the big family.
It's just that the big family will provide them with a comfortable environment so that they won't do anything wrong.
Is Yuzumi Yu extraordinary?
He is definitely not extraordinary. First of all, he cannot see spirits naturally, which means he has lost the prerequisite and the most important condition for becoming extraordinary.
Second, he never stole any spiritual power throughout the entire process. All the upgrades and abilities he gained were obtained through the system.
He took the bullet from the other person's hand, strung the rope back on, and hung it around his snow-white neck.
"Although I am not the so-called 'supernormal', I am definitely stronger than those supernormal people." The young man Yuzumi said with a smile.
truth.
Once the experience card is activated and all abilities are unlocked, he doesn't know how to lose.
"I believe Yuu." Maki turned sideways and hugged his arm.
Yuzumi Yu plucked the strings a few times, and beautiful melodious sounds came out.
"I don't like you because you're cute, I like you so you're cute..." Skip directly to the part sung by the boy.
"You like me?"
"It doesn't matter if you're treated as an idiot, because you're the heroine in my heart..."
"You likes me?" Ikema Maki repeated.
"Without a doubt."
"You like me?"
"No doubt about it."
"I like Yuu too."
The setting sun had completely set, and the top floor, which had no lights on, was completely dark. Two figures were pressed tightly together, their noses touching.
It was dawn and Maki was still sleeping soundly, so Yuzumi Yu got out of bed.
He didn't wake the other person up, but the senior sister who was just sleeping had a few strands of hair stuck to her lips, which looked very touching. The boy couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her.
After getting up, washing, doing daily tasks and having breakfast, Yuzumi Yu sat in the practice room holding his guitar.
The soundproofing here is very good and will not disturb Maki who is still sleeping.
It's very comfortable to be with my senior sister. She always arranges everything according to her habits. For example, she gets up at five o'clock. Normally, she can only go to a 24-hour convenience store for breakfast at this time.
But when he came back, the front desk told him that breakfast had been prepared for him in advance.
In the early morning, a mouthful of warm miso soup is so comfortable.
The prelude started playing, and it was still an English song for practicing speaking.
While singing, Yuzumi Yu was distracted unconsciously.
This is rare. He, who is always focused, would actually be distracted.
And it's not because of beauty...well, even beautiful girls are not allowed!
After playing a few songs, he forgot to sing. Yuzumi Yu pressed the strings and lowered his brows in thought.
...Maybe what Maki said is correct.
This world doesn't need spirits or Onmyojis.
Their presence seems awkward to those who don't understand them.
Of course, the most important issue is the irreconcilable conflict between the big families and the Onmyoji.
He didn't want Maki to get hurt.
Although there is no outbreak and no signs now, it seems that the Onmyoji is firmly controlled by the rules, but this "supernatural" power is ultimately a variable.
If you don't solve it early, it will be too late to solve it after the incident breaks out.
Big families don't want to have extraordinary powers like Onmyoji, and extraordinary people don't like being restricted everywhere. Even though they have great power, they still have to work like slaves. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
But...closing the channel between the two worlds is definitely not as easy as Amelia said.
Forget it, let's wait and see.
What is he hesitating about?
It's just a chain reaction that will occur when the channel is closed.
Closing the channel is not as simple as just turning it off. It is a complicated matter. Let's see what Amelia thinks.
Amelia is a saint?
He doesn't believe it.
There are no saints in the world.
Because even he, Yuzumi Yu, is not a saint.
I practiced the piano for a while, took a shower, and went back to bed to catch up on some sleep.
In today's game, Yuzumi Yu sat in the middle of the field and continued to watch.
The senior student performed very well and did not live up to his title of famous teacher. She must be rewarded handsomely after the competition!
Serious rewards...
The young man's eyebrows were calm as he glanced at the audience seats, but there was still no sign of Amelia.
He looked towards the center, waiting for Senior Sato to appear.
I don't know if I can see him today...
Until Sato's number was called, Yuzumi Yu hadn't seen Sato again.
It seemed that the conversation was very unpleasant.
What a pity for a newly born Onmyoji.
pity.
Just as Yuzumi Yu got up and prepared to leave, several men in police uniforms quickly came up to him.
"Hello sir, please cooperate with our investigation." One of them showed his police officer ID.
"?"
Yuzumi Yu was a little confused.
What's going on?
The police suddenly came to your door?
Has he done anything strange recently?
Stealing... Impossible, he has never stolen anything!
He even bought that katana for 100,000 yen.
There is no other law-abiding citizen like him.
Resist?
Impossible, doesn't exist.
Only a fool would resist in public. No, even if it's not in public, you can't resist!
He is upright and never afraid of his shadow...
"Sir, please come with us."
"Okay." Yuzumi Yu had a blank expression.
Yonago City Police Department.
Sitting on the sofa, a photo was placed in front of me. A man in uniform was sitting next to me and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Yuzumi Yu looked over.
Amelia?
"..."silence.
"Not familiar," he said.
Tell the truth.
"Do you know what she did wrong?" the man asked calmly.
"have no idea."
"She attempted murder."
"…"It's normal, no, that's not normal!
"I don't know." Yuzumi Yu said.
"The victim came to the police today..." Before the officer could finish his words, the door was pushed open and a detective shouted excitedly, "Boss, we've found the person! She's at the police station!"
"I told you to use your job title when you're working... What?" The man stood up and said, "She came to the police station?"
"That's right."
"You said she came to the police station?" The man walked towards the detective in disbelief.
"That's right."
"I'm sorry, sir, please wait a moment." The man turned around and said, then quickly walked out with the agent.
"..." The silent boy picked up the photo on the table.
It was a surveillance camera on a certain road section that captured the two people walking together.
What crime did Amelia commit that made her wanted? It is unknown.
Attempted murder?
Is it really not a false accusation?
As a vampire, who can she not kill?
If that's the case, it's really wasteful.
Until Yuzumi Yu was released and saw Amelia waiting in front of the police station.
She was dressed the same as yesterday.
I seriously doubt whether I took a shower yesterday. Also, in this hot summer, won't my feet smell if I wear boots for a long time?
"Come out?" Amelia also noticed him.
"You're the one who got me into trouble." The young man walked over expressionlessly. "What happened?"
Amelia snorted lightly, a disdainful smile on her lips, "I killed a man yesterday, but I didn't expect that man to be so capable that he could survive. However, he did something very stupid.
Choose to call the police."
Yuzumi Yu looked at the British girl expressionlessly.
Who is stupid, Amelia?
"What's wrong with calling the police?" His tone was flat as if he was forced to recite a text.
Amelia looked at him in surprise. "Is your memory so bad? Didn't I just tell you yesterday that killing an Onmyoji in Mihong is not against the law?"
Yuzumi Yu naturally passed over this question.
It doesn't matter if others say he has memory problems or something.
"Where is he now?"
"He was taken away by Mi Hong's group of Yin-Yang masters." Amelia's eyes were deep.
With blonde hair and blue eyes, she is a typical European beauty and attracts a lot of attention on the street.
Really... "Taken away? And then what?"
"There's only one choice, join that gang, or be eliminated."
"…" Is this what you call having only one choice?
This is called having no choice.
"So the fact is, you, a transcendent from the Saint Clan, can't even deal with a newly promoted Onmyoji?" After saying that, Yuzumi You turned and left with his hands in his pockets.
It was an unexpected disaster, it was none of his business in the first place.
He has always been a good citizen who abides by the law.
Amelia seemed a little embarrassed by what she said. She stared at the boy's back as he left. "I was just careless."
"yes."
"Are you listening to me carefully?"
"Yes...yes."
Amelia's mouth twitched slightly. She followed him, striding forward with long legs wrapped tightly in leather pants. "Don't look down on me, Yuzumi-kun. Do you want another fight?"
Yuzumi Yu paused and turned to look at the gloomy vampire lady, "This mistake seems to have annoyed you."
The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the two figures without any obstruction.
The vampire lady doesn't seem to be afraid of sunlight.
Compared to the British girl in front of me, Marumori, who has the whitest skin in my impression - cold white and rosy, and who can't see the sun, is more like a vampire, right?
Back to the present, I could sense that Amelia was on the verge of anger.
After all, someone who could say something like "sever the passage between the two worlds" must be very powerful and not to be underestimated. Such a veteran and powerful Transcendent was actually "tricked" by a new Transcendent...
It's really too embarrassing.
The most humiliating thing was not just that. The final act of calling the police to arrest her was the heaviest blow.
It's also the funniest.
Honestly, if Yuzumi Yu hadn't been so indifferent, it would have been hard not to laugh at something so subversive.
"You're laughing at me, Yuzumi-kun." Amelia narrowed her eyes.
After knowing that she was a vampire, he still felt oppressive towards her. After all, he had never seen Amelia's full strength attack. What he didn't know was the most dangerous.
But... can't you even deal with the new extraordinary person?
"I'm not laughing at you," Yuzumi Yu said calmly, "It's just that when something interesting happens, people will find it very interesting."
Like talking nonsense.
"...Goodbye, Yuzumi-kun." Amelia turned and prepared to leave, "I have other things to do."
After hesitating for a while, the handsome young man waited for the other party to take a few steps before speaking, "So, what are you going to do with that guy now?"
Amelia paused and turned her head to the side. She could see her golden curly hair falling on her cheeks, her high nose bridge, and the perfect curve of her profile. Following Yuzumi Yu's words, she said,
"That guy has too many Yin Yang Masters around him right now, so it's not easy to take action. Although it's not illegal to deal with Yin Yang Masters, as an outsider, I can't stand bullying the local tyrants like this, even if I'm a powerful dragon."
Compare yourself to a strong dragon?
Quite interesting.
You are so kind, Amelia.
"Come on." Yuzumi Yu turned and left.
The important thing now is to pick up the senior before the end of today's game.
There are two intersections, one heading east and the other heading west, completely different directions.
The system still didn't choose Amelia. Her appearance standards were definitely good enough, but she still wasn't chosen.
As I said, Amelia couldn't stay in Mihong for long, there was no need.
What if the number of emotional value objects is limited, and she takes up one place, and there are not enough places later?
It's worth being vigilant.
'system?'
[...]
Forget it, the system is dead.
In the following archery competitions, Yuzumi Yu always stayed by his senior's side and he didn't bother her anymore these days, just occasionally.
At least the force is smaller and more gentle, and at least the time is under control and will not affect sleep.
The top floor suite is cleaned every day.
That's all.
The National Kyudo Competition has ended.
The team results were not very good and not worth mentioning. In the individual competition, Ikema Maki from Chibazuru won the second place.
The first one is naturally not the missing senior Sato.
But it was another girl.
All I can say is that there is no shortage of geniuses in the world.
Of course, second place is also good enough.
The National Kyudo Competition has come to an end, and in the following time, Yuzumi Yu fulfilled his promise.
Even after the competition is over, he will still stay for a while.
There isn't much to do in Yonago itself, but as a transportation hub, there are many things to do around it.
But the two people, who were short of time, did not go to many places to play, but just took the train to the most famous Conan town.
The Conan town here is the earliest one.
The sky is blue, white clouds are piled up on the horizon, and the sun is clear and bright.
The train passed by scattered single-family houses in the surrounding area.
The distance is very close, and you can clearly see the style of the clothes that the owner of the house is drying on the rooftop. Of course, Yuzumi Yu, who is not a pervert, will not deliberately look at it, but just thinks,
Being so close to the railway tracks, would you normally find it noisy?
When you arrive at the location and get off the bus, you can see a huge anime poster.
The two took a photo in front of the poster.
The senior student was wearing a white miniskirt that revealed half of her thighs. Her long legs were smooth and white. She was wearing white socks and white flat shoes. Her knees were a little too red, but it added a different kind of charm.
It's like there are a few touches of red in the snow-white flowers, which does not feel abrupt, but makes it more charming and beautiful.
She wore a white T-shirt with cartoon patterns on it on her upper body, and a red and black baseball cap to block the sun. Her soft long hair fell from under the baseball cap, making her look youthful and fashionable.
Yuzumi Yu was dressed similarly to the other person, also wearing a red and black baseball cap and a white cartoon T-shirt, but his skirt was replaced with shorts.
The boy put his hands in his pockets and looked at the camera.
Maki Ikema held up her phone, and the front camera had very clear pixels.
The background is a Conan poster mural behind him.
"Yu, smile." Maki Ikema was looking for a good angle for the photo.
This was the first time the two of them had spent time together outside of Tokyo, so it could be considered a trip, right? Probably.
"whee."
"I'm not asking Youxixi to do that." Maki tugged at the boy with amusement.
"Compared to 'laughing', I prefer..." Yuzumi Yu placed a hand on his chest and said solemnly, "The power boiling in my body is not meant to be retreated!"
At the end of his speech, he stretched out his hand on his chest towards the camera.
Maki Ikema looked at her phone screen, "What is Yuu doing?"
"Practice." This is the trigger condition for level 2 passion.
"practise?"
"correct."
Blinking her eyes, Ikema Maki suddenly stretched out her other hand and made a "7" gesture at the boy's chin like a catapult, with her thumb and index finger stretched straight, her white fingers slender, and her fingertips full of girlish pinkness.
"Click!" It was not the sound of a camera, but Yuzumi Yu's voice.
Shinji smiled and pressed the camera button on her phone screen.
In the picture, the two people are wearing "Conan" anime T-shirts, the boy and girl are wearing the same baseball cap, and behind them is the poster mural of Conan Town after getting off the bus.
After taking photos, we began to actually enter Conan Town.
There were Conan elements everywhere in the station. The two bought a manual and started to walk around.
Anime statues can be seen everywhere, including Shinichi and Ran, Heiwa, Kidd and Conan.
Buy a ticket to enter the Gosho Aoyama Memorial Hall.
Gosho Aoyama, the author of Detective Conan.
In this memorial hall, you can see the author's manuscripts and the original paintings that fill the walls.
There are also many scene simulations that allow you to understand the methods of committing crimes that appear in the anime, as well as some physics knowledge.
Still very interesting.
After visiting the memorial hall, the two went to buy souvenirs.
While browsing, I could see that the senior sister had watched "Detective Conan". Well, for such a national IP, it would be abnormal if she hadn't watched it, right?
Ikema Maki held up Ran's figurine in both hands and shook it left and right, "Yu, are you a Shinran supporter or a Conan and Ai supporter?"
Shinran refers to Kudo Shinichi and Maori Ran.
Conan and Ai refer to Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara.
"As for me..." The handsome boy took a figurine and said, "Anything is fine."
"Eh? What a perfunctory answer."
"Well, I don't have a particularly strong sense of subjectivity, so either is fine."
"Is that so?"
After a day of shopping, I bought a lot of peripheral figures and souvenirs.
It doesn't matter, anyway... I have enough money.
The arrogant Yuzumi Yu.
The arrogant Maki Ikema.
In the following days, the two of them did not take the train to go out for fun, but just wandered around Yonago, visiting all the places they had not visited before.
Time flies.
The time they spent together seemed very long, almost ten days, but it passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuzumi Yu and Maki boarded a plane to Tokyo together.
He was going to Tokyo to transfer to Hokkaido.
Maki is going back to Tokyo.
These days, I'm very lucky, and also because of my hard work, my guitar playing has improved from entry level to some level.
[Ability (General): Guitar (Minor Skill)]
The next level after minor success is mastery.
The next level up from proficiency is mastery.
The master no longer has much hope, and Yuzumi Yu feels very satisfied if he can break through to mastery in the remaining time.
Is that enough?
Only after practicing it, you will know how difficult it is to improve this thing, and the system's evaluation is really too idealistic.
Even if he can play many pieces fluently, he still cannot be promoted.
Perhaps I need to make a breakthrough in my understanding of guitar.
——Yuzumi Yu's guess.
The plane took off.
Senior Ikema took off her white flat shoes, put on her white socks, and put her heels on the chair.
Yuzumi Yu on the side closed his eyes and rested.
If he wasn't afraid of disturbing others, he would continue practicing the piano on the plane.
After a while, Maki handed the cut fruit to Yuzumi Yu's mouth.
The boy opened his eyes and looked at the watermelon slice pinched by the other person's slender fingers, silent... "Maki, did you take off your shoes just now?"
"Eh?" Maki looked down, moved her small feet in white socks left and right, then raised her head, "Yes."
"It's so unhygienic."
Shinji blinked, "Doesn't Yuu usually..."
Yuzumi Yu didn't let the senior continue with the rest of the conversation, as it would be impolite to continue in public.
Covering the other person's mouth and leaving only her peach blossom eyes exposed, Maki looks pure and cute.
Is it aloof?
After spending so long together, I no longer notice Maki's aloofness. I just think she's quite silly and adorable sometimes.
At Mihong, cute is the highest praise!
In order to stop the other party from talking, Yuzumi You took a bite of the watermelon handed to him without hesitation, then withdrew his hand and sat back in his seat.
Maki Ikema suppressed a smile and withdrew her hand, taking out a piece of paper to wipe the saliva off her index finger and thumb.
"What are you laughing at, Maki?"
"You is so cute." The senior student took out some paper and wiped the watermelon stains from the corners of the boy's mouth.
Minako and her group arrived in Furano two days ago after staying with her senior.
After arriving in Tokyo with Maki Ikema by plane, Yuzumi Yu set off for Furano without staying long.
Furano City is located in the southern part of the Kamikawa Branch Office in Hokkaido and is a well-known tourist city in Hokkaido.
Furano City, Nakafurano Town, Kamifurano Town and Biei are collectively referred to as "Furano". It is located in the central area of Hokkaido and is nicknamed the "City of the Navel".
The average temperature in August is 18℃~20℃.
It's much cooler than Yonago and Tokyo.
The temperature in Tokyo has already reached 40 degrees Celsius.
Direct flights from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Asahikawa Airport take approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes.
After arriving at Asahikawa Airport, Yuzumi Yu took a bus to Furano, which took about an hour.
Of course, you can also choose to fly directly to Sapporo New Chitose Airport and then take the JR train from New Chitose Airport to Furano, or take a bus to Sapporo city first, and then take the JR train or bus from Sapporo to Furano.
But Yuzumi Yu was too lazy to go around in circles, so he chose a direct bus.
The journey is not long, or rather, the scenery along the way is very beautiful.
After arriving in Furano, the boy rented a bicycle and rode along the road.
The surroundings gradually opened up and the crowds gradually became sparse.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are low green hills on both sides of the road.
The sky in Mihong is very clear, and the sky in Hokkaido is naturally clear as well.
The wind blew Yuzumi Yu's hair, and when lavender began to appear in patches on the surrounding green grass, he knew they were almost there.
Furano looks like a complete rural area. And yes, Hokkaido is not short of farms.
In Mihong, the rural infrastructure is very complete and not much different from that in the city. The main roads are wide and flat, and the traffic signs are clear.
Most of the houses are traditional Mihong dwellings, which retain strong ethnic characteristics, with exquisite architectural appearance, and careful interior structure and details.
The village is surrounded by rich vegetation, the air is fresh, and the stream flowing through the village is crystal clear. The overall environment is very pleasant.
The most important thing is... it's not hot.
After arriving in Hokkaido, the temperature was very comfortable from the moment we got off the plane.
Compared to Tokyo, which is like a furnace in summer, Hokkaido feels like autumn.
As expected, we stayed in a B&B again.
Arriving at the designated location, Yuzumi Yu parked his bicycle at the door and rang the doorbell.
It really is a B&B.
A flat path passes by this single-family house, and there are some other single-family houses scattered around.
Not long after the doorbell rang, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside, and then the door was opened.
The short-haired girl with a cold appearance stood at the door, but at this moment she smiled sweetly, "Brother Yuzumi, welcome back!"
Minako is not wearing any makeup now. She has always had a cold look, and this is the case without makeup.
I just like to put on makeup. Although different makeup looks can bring different effects, my smile is sweet, just like strawberry ice cream in summer. No matter how I change the packaging,
The taste inside will not change.
Yuzumi Yu went in to put his things away.
He looked around but didn't see any adults. "Where are they?" he asked.
"Uncle and auntie are out playing nearby." Minako poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Thank you." Still polite, the boy drank his water and asked, "Why don't you go?"
"Who will open the door for Brother Yuzumi if I go?"
Minako looked at what the boy took out of the bag, "Huh? There's some delicious food!"
"I bought some on the way." Yuzumi Yu handed over the snacks.
"Hazumi-nii is so kind~"
After rubbing the greedy Minako's little head, Yuzumi Yu returned to his room. As for which room was his, Yuzumi Tomoya had already told him.
Go in and take out your guitar.
Outside the window, white clouds are floating, and the clear sky reflects the wilderness of Furano. A gentle breeze blows in from the window, and a young man sits by the window playing the guitar.
There is no time to waste now, we must improve the level of the guitar as soon as possible.
Beautiful piano music was played, and Yuzumi Yu first played a song from Xia Country to get a feel for it.
"There are always some surprising encounters, such as meeting you..."
What would it be like if it were translated into Mihong language?
...never mind.
Looking out the window, you can see green hills and fields, as well as the wide and clean road in front of the house.
The melodious sound of the piano came out through the window.
The weather is sunny and the temperature is comfortable.
We practiced until the afternoon, when Tomoya Hanzumi and others came back.
Yuzumi Yu put down the piano.
A must-read after every piano practice—[Ability (General): Guitar (Minor Achievement)]
He went downstairs to eat, and then ran upstairs with Minako. In the room, they each held a cup of lavender ice cream.
As a famous specialty food of Furano, although the taste is a bit strange, it is not bad. On the contrary, it tastes very good.
"How does it compare to strawberry ice cream?" Minako asked.
Yuzumi Yu pondered for a moment, then immediately felt sorry for his insistence. He made a quick decision and said, "Strawberry ice cream is still better."
"There's a fireworks festival in Furano in mid-August," Minako added.
"Really? I have to go and see it."
August is summer, so there is no shortage of summer carnivals everywhere.
Tonight flew by.
In the morning, when it was still light, Yuzumi Yu was still doing his morning exercises.
I went for a morning run along the wide road. There were very few people in this area, especially in the early morning.
There are fields on both sides, extending along the line of sight, up and down the slopes, and the emerald green grass sways in the wind, bringing a unique sense of tranquility and comfort.
After morning exercise, I took a shower, went back to the room to get some bread, and went out with my guitar on my back.
Sitting in the fields under the morning sky, playing towards the rising light.
Just practicing might only improve his proficiency, but playing in this comfortable environment might lead to a breakthrough in his state of mind.
It might help improve your guitar level.
He has messy black hair, a handsome face, a white shirt, and black trousers. The grass around him is swayed by the wind, occasionally brushing against the corners of the boy's clothes.
After playing a few songs, a voice came from behind.
"Boy, that's not how you play the piano." Rough, a little hoarse, and a little casual.
Yuzumi Yu noticed the other party as soon as he approached, and he turned around.
A tall man stood not far behind him. His face was very handsome and clean, except for his ponytail, two wisps of hair on his forehead blowing in the wind, and his beard...
Why do I feel so weird?
It's like a young man with an overly mature beard, yes, that's the feeling.
In response to the other party's words, Yuzumi Yu just nodded politely and turned back to continue playing.
Having one more listener might not be a bad thing, except that this listener seems a bit fond of expressing his or her own opinions.
The man held the small iron bottle, looked at the sky, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine. The melodious piano music sounded again, and the young man began again.
After finishing the song, he said leisurely, "Without something to express, music has no soul."
Yuzumi Yu paused as he was about to start playing the next song and looked back again.
The man was still standing not far away without moving, wearing a black and white vertical striped shirt, trousers and leather shoes.
Being able to say such words, Yuzumi Yu felt that this man seemed to have something special.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Senior, do you have your own unique understanding of music?"
The man smiled faintly, walked over and sat down next to the boy, "Just a little bit." He took another sip from the small iron bottle and handed it over, "Want some?"
"No, thank you." It was wine, he knew, but drinking alcohol or something, especially something given by a stranger, was unnecessary.
"Not temperamental enough." The man shook his head and withdrew his hand.
"..." As for personality, Tateno might have a lot of personality.
"Meeting is fate. Let me show you my skills, kid." The man screwed the lid on the iron bottle and set it aside. "Can I borrow your guitar?"
"Please feel free." Yuzumi Yu handed over the guitar.
He never lacks the willingness to ask for advice, otherwise he would not have become Wu MAX.
Of course, this is just one of his many advantages, insignificant and not worth mentioning.
The man took the piano, plucked it a few times, and then started playing.
After just the first few notes, Yuzumi Yu sat up straighter. It was obvious at a glance whether he could play the piano or not, and whether he was a master.
The man played "Kikujiro's Summer", a very light song.
In terms of difficulty, it's not that difficult. If it's five stars, Yuzumi Yu should probably be at two stars because he can also pop out very smoothly.
The man's body swayed slightly as he played.
That feeling of relaxation, that lightness in summer, the sound of the piano is like gusts of breeze, sweeping across the field under the leisurely clouds and blue sky, fiddling with the green grass.
The two sat in the middle of the hillside, looking down at the lush greenery. The clean road stretched into the distance, with single-family buildings scattered on both sides of the road.
Playing this piece in the summer is like playing Lang Lang's Sunny Day during a rainstorm.
The playing is beautiful, just like the carefreeness of summer.
Yuzumi Yu's head tapped unconsciously to the rhythm.
After the song ended, I just felt like I was wandering in a quiet and beautiful afternoon.
"Senior, that's amazing." Yuzumi Yu praised seriously.
There is no doubt that the other person's guitar is better than his.
But he doesn't know how high his level is. All he can say is that he is very skilled in playing such a brightly rhythmic piece to such an immersive level.
"Haha..." The man smiled and returned the guitar to the boy, "It's okay."
The handsome face with the beard and long ponytail really gives a weird feeling.
Judging from the other person's age, he is about 28 years old.
Yuzumi Yu takes back the guitar.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Senior, I want to improve, but I don't know what to do."
The man took the small iron bottle beside him and smiled faintly when he heard this. "Music requires emotion. Play what you want to express."
He thought the other party would tell him to practice basic skills more, but he didn't expect it to be such idealistic words.
He certainly knew that music required emotion...but was his music truly emotionless? Or had he simply not noticed? Perhaps he was too eager for results, too formulaic in his practice.
But we have to be impatient for success, because the time for this event will soon be up.
"Practice slowly." The man stood up, patted his butt, and walked down the slope. "Music is ultimately for people to listen to. Express what you want to express to the audience and let the audience feel it.
That's half the battle."
Yuzumi Yu pondered for a moment and began practicing again.
At noon, the music tutor that Tomoya Hanzumi had found arrived.
In the room, Yuzumi Yu and the man sat facing each other in silence.
That's right, his music teacher was the senior whom he met in the fields that morning.
What a coincidence, but actually not a coincidence. If we are all in the same area, it is still easy to meet...you just need to get up early.
"What's your name, kid?" The man looked at him carefully.
"Hazumi Yu."
"Kusaka Haruto, you can just call me Teacher Kusaka." said Kusaka Haruto.
Sundown?
Yuzumi Yu was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Yuzumi Yu gathered his thoughts.
It's just that this surname is the same as that of an old friend.
"Then let's get started."
"Okay, please give me your guidance."
"Please give me your guidance."
In the afternoon, Yuzumi Yu practiced piano with his teacher in the room.
The teacher didn't bring his piano, but just listened to him play and occasionally took his piano to demonstrate.
"Boy, you are really talented." Seeing that Yuzumi Yu could perfectly understand his words and get the hang of it very quickly, Kusaka Haruto showed a surprised expression.
The thought of "not worth mentioning" was swallowed up, and Yuzumi Yu said modestly, "Teacher taught me well."
"Stop talking nonsense and keep working hard."
"I will keep working hard."
The man drank from a small iron bottle, nodding his head slightly as the boy played. After he finished playing, he pointed out the problem and the boy started playing again.
Rest time.
Kusaka Haruto asked, "How long have you been involved in music?"
"Not long...probably less than a month." Yuzumi Yu said truthfully.
Kusaka Haruto looked at it in surprise, and after a moment, he said, "It doesn't look like it."
Just talent and hard work.
All he can say is that he has the characteristic of "memory". Even if he has no talent, how could he not achieve anything?
Just play it once and you don't need to look at the music score again.
After a moment of reflection, Kusaka Haruto said, "Your talent is better than mine and some geniuses I know."
Is that so...
Unfortunately, he doesn't want to go too far in the music field.
I learn music just to get the full rewards from the system.
The afternoon study is over.
Yuzumi Yu glanced at the panel.
[Ability (General): Guitar (Minor Skill)]
It has to be said that the person that Tomoya Hanzumi found is very reliable. At least in terms of music, Yu Hanzumi fully recognizes the other party's strength.
With such a master's guidance, I believe it won't take long for him to grow from a small success to a master.
Yuzumi Yu was very satisfied to be able to reach mastery before the event was resolved.
What does it mean to learn guitar quickly in one month?
If he didn't have the blessing of memory, he would probably waste a lot of time just getting started.
After all, basic skills require time to accumulate.
In the evening, Yuzumi Yu had a video call with her senior. She had finished the competition and now had plenty of time. As long as Yuzumi Yu had time, the two would video call in the evening.
But the way the senior is dressed... is really not at all awkward.
