"Which school do you go to, Liu Sang? I don't think I've ever seen you wearing a school uniform like that before."

"It's Rikkai University Affiliated High School, in Kanagawa." Liu's fingers twitched, but he ultimately restrained the urge to take out his notebook to record the data.

To openly record data about someone who saved your life would probably seem very strange to a normal person.

Although exorcists are probably not ordinary people.

Liu's grandfather was an extremely enthusiastic person about monster culture. Although he could not see monsters himself, he made some friends who were exorcists.

He had sought help from exorcists for his grandson's tendency to attract monsters. It did have some effect when he was young, but the effect gradually diminished as he grew older.

However, this was the first time he had ever met a demon exorcist who was so young.

So exorcists have to go to regular schools?

It seems that the data calculated in the past needs to be revised.

"Liu Sang, take your hand away."

Ok?

Liu subconsciously covered the small hand with her own hand.

The probability of it being a serious matter is 98%.

He regulated his slightly disordered breathing.

There was a flash of blue light.

Intricate runes appeared on the back of the hand, and the incantation composed of ancient characters contained spiritual power.

"Ordinary people can't see this."

The bird withdrew its hand and gave the boy a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

On a rare weekend, Asuka was asked by Natori to study the formations in ancient books.

The small room was littered with messy paper talismans, which were even pasted all over the walls.

Natori holds a tattered tome in one hand and draws a complex magic circle on the floor with special ink in the other.

To avoid making mistakes, he would look at the diagrams in the book several times before each stroke.

Birds primarily serve a companion role.

She leaned against the door, looking at the formation more and more familiar it seemed, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

"Monday, how much longer do I have to draw? I've already been drawing for an hour."

The bird's voice was soft; it was clearly complaining, but it sounded more like it was being coquettish.

"Soon, just the last few lines. Asuka, wait a little longer. After we finish drawing, we'll go eat sukiyaki together."

Having said that, Natori focused his attention even more intently in order to complete the magic circle as quickly as possible.

Although I really wanted to pat the bird's head, I had to regretfully give up the idea due to practical reasons.

"Okay~"

The bird pursed its lips but didn't say anything more.

Although she really wanted to help Zhou Yi, Fei Niao, who always relied on her own powerful spiritual energy, didn't know much about this type of auxiliary formation.

She still prefers Yin-Yang techniques driven by spiritual power.

Let me reiterate! Asuka-sama waited for Monday voluntarily, not because she was bribed by some mere sukiyaki!!

"Okay."

After finishing the last stroke, Natori retreated to Asuka's side, knelt on one knee, and placed his palm on the ground.

A shimmering blue light followed the lines drawn with ink, filling them at an incredible speed, like water filling a ditch.

The next second, the magic circle burst out with a blinding light.

After the light faded, the magic circle remained the same, the paper talismans remained the same, and nothing was summoned in the center of the room.

After painstakingly arranging the name selection all morning, he slowly typed out a "?".

Okay, it seems to be an invalid magic circle.

Natori sighed, mustered his courage, and wanted to give Asuka-sama a good pat on the head.

The result was empty.

Huh?

Where are the birds?

Natori panicked and quickly turned his head, only to see a little girl who was only as tall as his leg, looking up at him with her bright black eyes.

The birds are still there! I was terrified.

Wait...? Something doesn't seem right—

The little girl pouted and burst into tears.

-

Natori hurriedly calmed the child down, then sat her on the sofa while quickly flipping through an old book.

The little bird is not well-behaved; it tugs at Natori's bangs from time to time and even eats his clothes.

Fortunately, he had some perseverance and managed to finish reading the whole book despite the constant harassment.
