Zongman: The only God Slayer adopted by the Nakano family

Looking at the girl in front of her, Yukino asked with some confusion.

If you want to make snacks as a thank you gift, cookies are much easier to make than rice cakes. After all, cookies can be shaped and then put in the oven to bake. There are no tiring steps in the process. But rice cakes are different.

If you want to make rice cakes, you must first pound the glutinous rice. This step stumps many girls.

"I just want to make rice cakes."

Scratching his head, Tuanzi said, subconsciously glancing out the window.

Seeing this, Yukino knew that Tuanzi was lying. She picked up the book on the windowsill, patted Tuanzi, and said unhappily:

"Tell me the truth."

"Hmm~ Yukino-chan is getting really violent, and I said that's not enough."

After being patted on the head, Tuanzi held his head and spoke in a wronged tone.

Looking at Tuanzi, Yukino waited quietly. She always felt that there must be something fishy about Tuanzi making rice cakes.

"Actually, it's Nakano-san. Yumiko said Nakano-san likes to eat rice cakes, so she thought of making rice cakes as a thank you."

Seeing Yukino looking at her like that, Tuanzi had no choice but to tell her everything she had heard from Miura Yumiko.

"Rice cake...it's definitely possible."

Hearing this, Xueno nodded thoughtfully.

"So, Yukino-chan, you can ask me to make rice cakes now?"

Looking at Yukino expectantly, Tuanzi was ready to sweat.

“I don’t know how to make rice cakes.”

Unexpectedly, Yukino just glanced at Tuanzi and then said so.

"Eh?!"

When Tuanzi heard Yukino say that she didn't know how to do it, her smiling face suddenly fell. She thought that the omnipotent Yukino knew everything.

"But you can learn it. Just try it after school."

Seeing Tuanzi like this, Yukino smiled lightly and said.

"Yeah! Yukino-chan is the best!"

Upon hearing that, Tuanzi immediately jumped up and hugged Yukino with a smile on her face.

Yukino urged Tuanzi to let go, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.

Time passed quickly, and the first week of school at Sobu High School was over in a blink of an eye. During this period, Nakano Yuu slept, had lunch, and decided where to spend the night every day.

Well, that's not the case. He just likes to treat everyone equally.

In addition, this week, the Moon Messenger he arranged to find the [Rod of Asklepios] also returned and brought the [Rod of Asklepios] back to him.

However, the [Rod of Asklepios] does not have any powerful abilities. This divine tool can give the holder the ability to live forever, but immortality does not mean eternal beauty. In other words, the [Rod of Asklepios] can keep you alive, but your flesh will still rot.

In the end, he just turned into a skeleton monster holding a [Snake Staff]. For him, this ability was a bit useless.

However, there was no news at all about the Moon Gods that Nakano Yu had sent to look for the [Lucky Snake Emblem]. However, Nakano Yu could feel that they had not been harmed or attacked.

I'm afraid it's not that easy to find the [Lucky Snake Emblem], but he currently doesn't have the time to go and get it in person.

Last night, Nakano Yu received a message from Yotsuya Miko and made an appointment to go to Mikitsunetani Shrine today. Nakano Yu would naturally not go back on his word, so the matter of the snake emblem could only wait until Mikitsunetani Shrine took action. He would go there in person in the evening.

Thinking of this, Nakano Yu went out. The [Sovereignty of the Moon] could not be used in broad daylight, so he just flew out to find Yotsuya Miko and his group.

"Good morning, Yotsuya-chan."

At this time, in front of Grandma Takeda's shop, Yotsuya Miko, wearing shorts and a short-sleeved sun-protective jacket, looked at Rom, who was wearing a leather coat and a tall hat in the middle of summer, and the corners of her mouth twitched:

"Mr. Roma, the temperature today is 36 degrees Celsius. Is it really okay for you to wear such thick clothes?"

"Of course, it's very cold up there."

Rom pinched the brim of his hat, a smile appeared on his lips, and said.

He had a very deep memory of that mountain. The huge number of ghosts there were like a ghost's lair. Even if he couldn't see them, the presence of so many ghosts would cause the temperature in the mountains and forests to be extremely low!

This is what he said from experience.

"Hmph, don't worry about him."

At this moment, Takeda Sanzhi snorted coldly and walked out of the store. At this time, Takeda Sanzhi was wearing a strange, but handsome exorcist uniform at first glance, with a serious expression.

"You can't say that. Didn't you say there would be a helper?"

Hearing Takeda Sanzhi say this, Rom smiled easily, looked around and asked.

"Here, I hope I'm not too late."

Just as Rom finished speaking, Nakano Yu's voice came from behind him.

"Of course it's not too late. Let's go, it's time to put an end to it."

Seeing that the person coming was a boy about the same age as Jianzi, Rom was a little surprised, but didn't say much. He smiled and pointed to the mountains in the distance and said.

Takeda Mie was so shocked by Nakano Yuu's sudden appearance that his dentures almost fell out.

She had originally thought of risking her life, using her own wife's life to save Yotsuya Miko.

But now... there's no need!

This...Tongtiandai!

....

Chapter 135: Shocked Jianzi, the so-called "Mountain God"

"Shasha~"

A breeze blew through the forest, carrying a faint fishy smell, ruffling the branches and making the leaves rustle.

"Um?!"

Hearing the sound, Jianzi, who was holding Nakano Yu's arm, reflexively moved closer to the boy and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

"Little sister Jianzi, don't be so nervous. This mountain is called Three Fox Valley. It should be a fox."

Seeing Jianzi so nervous, Rom smiled and waved his hand. After that, he looked at the dark shadow hiding in the mountains and forests.

Something was wrong. These ghosts had been hiding from them since they came up the mountain. They seemed to be afraid. Were they afraid of him? Or were they afraid of Takeda Sanzhi?

No, that's impossible. Although Takeda Mie has strong spiritual power, it is not to that extent. The ghosts here are not easy to deal with.

But if that’s the case, what are those ghosts afraid of?

Are you afraid of that young man?

Rom narrowed his eyes, fixed his gaze on Nakano Yuu, and spoke to the boy with a smile:

"Hey, young man, are you and Miko's little sister a couple? They seem to be very close."

As he spoke, Rom's joking gaze fell on Miko's hand that was holding Nakano Yu's arm.

"Boom!"

As soon as Roma finished speaking, Takeda Sanzhi, who was following Roma, jumped up and punched Roma on the head, making a sound of a headbutt.

"Hiss~ Old woman, what are you doing?!"

Covering his head, Rom was naturally a little unhappy after being suddenly hit. He turned to look at Takeda Mie and asked.

"Humph, you can't make fun of everyone."

Glancing at Rom, Takeda Sanzhi just snorted, and then walked forward.

"Huh? What are you talking about, old woman?"

Hearing this, Rom picked up the hat that Takeda Sanzhi had knocked to the ground and put it on his own head. After that, he quickly followed Takeda Sanzhi.

Behind them, Jianzi and Nakano Yu looked at the two of them, said nothing, and quickly followed.

Just halfway through the walk, Nakano Yuu suddenly stopped, looked towards the forest beside him, and said nothing.

"W-What's wrong? Nakano-san."

Seeing that Nakano Yu suddenly stopped, the already nervous Jianzi became panicked and asked.

"Nothing, I saw something I expected."

Nakano Yu shook his head, and after that, he continued to walk up the mountain with Jianzi.

Miko was completely bewildered. What was this unexpected thing? Could it be that Nakano Yuu had been to this mountain before?

In fact, what Nakano Yu saw was a stone, or to be more precise, a stabilizing stone!

At first, Nakano Yu planned to use [Raging Wind and Tide] to take a group of people directly to the mountain, but suddenly he remembered the stone that appeared in the comics. If he remembered correctly, it should be on the way up the mountain, so he followed a few people to climb the mountain.

Stabilizing stones are not uncommon in Japan. It can be said that every shrine or superstitious village will place a stabilizing stone at the entrance of the village to suppress earthquakes.

But Nakano Yuuka knew very well that the stone on the Sanhu Valley Mountain was not used to suppress earthquakes, but to suppress the monster sealed under the mountain.

Nakano Yu didn't know what that was, but when he arrived at the Sankitani Shrine and dismantled the human sacrifice formation used for suppression, he would know what it was.

"Hmm? There's no road ahead...?"

Soon, Nakano Yu and Miko caught up with Rom and Takeda Mie who were walking in front.

But after catching up, Jianzi found that the place where the shrine was supposed to be had turned into an empty lot. Not to mention the shrine, there was not even a shadow of the torii gate.

"It's a barrier. That shrine will only attract people with strong life energy, or there are objects with strong life energy that disrupt the magnetic field of the barrier."

Seeing that Nakano Yuu and Miko finally caught up, Rom explained, and as he spoke, he took out a Ram rabbit doll that exuded rich life energy from his arms.

"Is that... Xiaohua's Ram Rabbit?"

As Yurikawaka's best friend, Jianzi recognized the origin of the Roma rabbit at a glance.

"I got this in exchange with Xiaohua. Next, I'll use it to open the barrier. Of course, it would be even better if Xiaohua could be here."

Pressing the brim of his hat, Rom explained, and as he was about to call upon the life energy of the Ram Rabbit to open the barrier, he was interrupted by Takeda Mie:

"No need to work so hard. With him here, there's nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Rom frowned slightly, wondering who Takeda Sanzhi was talking about, when he noticed Nakano Yuu walking out behind him.

Coming to a position a few steps in front of Rom, Nakano Yuu looked at the "open space" in front of him.

In his eyes, there was a flight of stone steps in front of him, and at the end of the steps was a huge, dilapidated torii gate.

Without saying much, Nakano Yu released the aura that belonged only to a godslayer. In just a moment, the space in front of the young man began to twist and shatter. A moment later, the hidden stone steps appeared in front of everyone.

"Let's go."

Tilting his head slightly, Nakano Yuu said to the stunned Rom behind him.

At this time, Rom looked at Nakano Yu with a face full of shock. What happened just now?

Why, why did he have the urge to surrender to the young man in front of him at that moment?

"Hey, hurry up and catch up."

Seeing that Rom was still standing there in a daze, Takeda Sanzhi walked out for a distance and greeted him unhappily, which brought Rom back to his senses.

Hearing the sound, Rom hurriedly put away the Ram rabbit and followed the group towards the torii.

"It's still as desolate as before."

Standing under the torii, Takeda Sanzhi looked at the dilapidated shrine covered with moss and weeds and said.

How long has it been since she last came here? Almost ten years, right?

The last time she came here, she lost someone. Haha, if it weren't for that woman, she would have died long ago, and there would be no so-called Shitamachi Goddess.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Takeda Sanzhi's face.

For psychics like them who are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, the so-called "mountain god" that resides here is invincible and a monster that they cannot overcome with human power!

But today, they have something even more monstrous!

Looking at Nakano Yuu who was strolling leisurely in the shrine, Takeda Sane felt confident.

Is this what it feels like to have a mentor? It feels so good!
