Soman Shuchiin, starting from Fulilian to become a magician

After waiting for a long while, Ye Shanming said nothing. He looked up at the sky with a frown, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Ye Shan?"

"Scumbag Senior?"

Baiyin Gui and Xiaodou Zi spoke at the same time, pushing him to make him come back to his senses. He spoke absentmindedly:

"You guys check in first, I'll go take a walk around the area."

After saying that, he quickly left the scene and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Hayasaka Ai didn't have time to catch up with him.

Just as he got off the car, Ye Shanming suddenly caught a faint fluctuation of time and space, accompanied by a faint breath of magic, but it was fleeting and he only had time to capture the approximate direction.

"It's different from the fluctuations of the mysterious light and shadow. What's going on?"

Ye Shanming quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests. The rugged mountain road was as flat as the ground under his feet. Seeing that he was far away from the residential area, he no longer concealed himself and cast a flying magic to fly quickly towards the captured direction.

A large lake with a diameter of more than ten miles came into his sight. The calm lake surface reflected the sky and the shadows of flying birds, creating a peaceful scene.

A bright red torii gate stands in the lake, and its reflection on the lake surface looks like a gate leading to a secluded world. Not far from the lakeshore, a stone road winds its way up the mountain.

Ye Shanming landed in front of the torii, stepping lightly on the surface of the lake without any sign of sinking. He looked up at the sky, and the fluctuations he felt came from here.

He closed his eyes and focused his maximum attention on magical perception, but unfortunately he gained nothing.

Ye Shanming did not give up and searched the nearby area again. This search took three or four hours.

"Strange, nothing unusual."

At the Hakone Shrine on the top of the mountain, Akira Hayama sat in front of the corridor of the worship hall, poking the offering box with a wooden stick in his hand. He had just turned Lake Ashi and the nearby forest upside down, but found nothing wrong, as if it was just an illusion.

I wanted to ask Jia Xi if he had any clues, but this shameful No. 2 in the demon world didn't even have a cell phone, so I had to give up.

"Sure enough, when it comes to Hakone, besides the unique hot springs, Hakone Shrine is also a must-see."

Chika Fujiwara, who had made a detailed guide for the Hakone Hot Spring trip, walked in front and introduced the Hakone Shrine to them. It was unknown what happened afterwards. Kaguya Shinomiya and Maki Shijo were in the same team, and the entire team was divided into two small groups with them at the head.

"Hey, you guys come over to pay your respects."

Ye Shanming stood up and greeted them. Several people glared at him, and Xiaodouzi even ran over to him and complained:

"You actually ran away by yourself. You've gone too far."

Chapter 8: Being tough, but only a little bit.

"How did you guys resolve it in the end? Did you still stay in two different hotels?"

Ye Shanming was quite interested in the dispute between the two young ladies. If he was not in a hurry to detect traces of magic, he actually wanted to watch the show to the end.

Hayasaka Ai answered his question: "In the end, we all stayed in the Shinomiya family's hot spring inn. We were all on the same floor, and each of us had a separate room."

Akira Hayama looked towards the girls. It was vaguely apparent that the girls were divided into two factions, led by Shijo Maki and Shinomiya Kaguya. The atmosphere was full of tension just by watching. Only Fujiwara Chika didn't notice it at all. She was still enthusiastically explaining the history of Hakone Shrine.

"Okay, everyone, it's time to pay our respects. Hakone Daigongen is a very powerful deity that brings good fortune."

Chika Fujiwara clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention. Akira Yeyama had no idea how much preparation she had made for this hot spring trip. Anyway, it seemed that she was a completely qualified tour guide.

"First, come to the hand washing room and cleanse your body and mind."

Fujiwara Chika walked in front and demonstrated to everyone.

"It's no different from the normal shrine visit procedures."

Ji Karen muttered something, but still followed Fujiwara Chika's example and cleansed herself.

Ye Shanming picked up a bamboo spoon, scooped up clean water from the pool, and washed his hands. However, he hesitated at the last step of rinsing his mouth.

"what happened?"

Hayasaka Ai, who was standing next to him, saw him stop and asked out of curiosity.

"I wonder if this water is very dirty after so many people wash their hands and rinse their mouths?"

"Uh……"

Hayasaka Ai was also stunned, her expression becoming stiff: "It should... that shouldn't be the case. This kind of water is usually running water."

She said this, but she was holding the bamboo spoon in her hand and was hesitant to do it.

"Forget it. I've already washed my hands. I don't think God will blame me for forgetting to rinse my mouth."

After a mental struggle, Hayasaka Ai finally gave up rinsing her mouth, put the bamboo spoon back in its place, and comforted herself. She glared at Ye Shanming fiercely, complaining in her tone:

"Thanks to you, I won't dare rinse my mouth when I visit the shrine anymore."

Fortunately, they were the last two to start, and no one else heard their conversation, otherwise today's shrine visit would have ended in vain.

With the mentality of adapting to local customs, Akira Yeyama also went to pay homage to Hakone Daigongen. He temporarily put aside the fluctuations in time and space and the traces of magic in his heart and followed everyone to play in the shrine.

"Walk up the hill behind the shrine and you'll find an observation deck. From there you can overlook the entire Lake Ashi. It's amazing, isn't it?"

After the worship, Fujiwara Chika was still in high spirits and led everyone towards the back mountain.

A narrow stone path stretches from behind the shrine to the top of the mountain, appearing and disappearing in the lush forest. It is only wide enough for one person to walk.

"No way, is it coming again?"

Seeing this situation, Ji Karen and Ouse Erica, who already had rich experience, looked at each other, nodded, and each stretched out a hand to pull the four real concubines.

"What are you two doing? Let me go. I definitely don't want that woman to get on the observation deck before me!"

The four concubines struggled hard, dragging the two people forward. Ji Karen sighed lightly and quickly persuaded them:

"Zhenfei, forget it. This road is narrow and steep. Be careful not to fall."

The four concubines looked at the stone path under their feet. It was bumpy and uneven. Moreover, because it was close to the lake, the moisture in the mountains was thick, and they would slip if they were not careful.

Faced with reality, she accepted Ji Karen's kindness, gave up her own idea reluctantly, and followed Shinomiya Kaguya up the mountain obediently.

Ye Shanming walked at the end of the team, slowly going up with the mentality of enjoying the scenery. Before he knew it, he could no longer see the girls.

Most tourists gather inside the shrine and leave after paying their respects, so there are not many people in the back mountain and it is very quiet.

After walking along the stone path for about ten minutes, Ye Shanming saw Shijo Zhenfei sitting on a stone by the road, rubbing her right ankle with both hands, with a look of pain on her face.

"Why are you sitting here alone? Where are Ji Karen and the others?"

Hearing Ye Shanming's voice, Shijo Zhenfei's hands trembled, and she withdrew her hands as if nothing had happened, trying to keep a calm face:

"Nothing, I'm just a little tired from walking and want to take a rest. I let them go first."

"is it?"

Ye Shanming glanced at the ankle she had just been rubbing. The originally fair skin had turned red and was even a little swollen.

"Then I'll go first, you take your time to rest."

Without exposing her lie, Ye Shanming walked past her and continued to walk leisurely towards the top of the mountain.

When Shijo Shinki saw Hayama Akira leave, she felt relieved. The shoes she wore today were not suitable for mountain climbing, and she was in a hurry to follow Shinomiya Kaguya, so she stepped on the wrong shoe and twisted her ankle.

She didn't want anyone else to know such an embarrassing thing, especially Kaguya Shinomiya.

She rubbed her ankle gently for a while and felt the pain subside a lot. She tried to stand up, but the severe pain in her foot again made her sit back down and gasp.

"hiss……"

"Forget it, since you're the one funding this trip, I'll carry you."

In fact, Ye Shanming did not go far. He was always watching her from above. However, Shijo Zhenfei was rubbing her feet with her head down and did not notice.

Considering that they were barely friends, Ye Shanming did not leave Shijo Zhenfei alone there. He walked down the stone steps, half-knelt in front of her, and motioned her to lie down.

"No, I'm just tired and need to rest."

Shijo Shinki remained stubborn and rejected Ye Shanming's kindness.

Ye Shanming was too lazy to indulge her inexplicable persistence and gave her one last chance:

"Think about it, they should be coming down from the mountain in a while."

After waiting for about half a minute, there was still no response. Ye Shanming was just about to leave when Shijo Zhenfei bit her lip, gave up her meaningless persistence, and lay down on him.

With her hands on Ye Shanming's shoulders, she tried to support her upper body, and heard his casual questioning voice in her ears.

"Go up the mountain or take you directly to the hospital?"

"The hospital is too far. Just take me back to the guesthouse. The Shijo family has a private doctor there."

"it is good."

Ye Shanming hooked the legs of Shi Tiao Zhenfei, stood up and prepared to go down the mountain. The sudden bump made Shi Tiao Zhenfei unable to support her body, and her nose hit Ye Shanming's shoulder blade hard. She couldn't help but cover her nose.

"it hurts!"

Ye Shanming couldn't bear to watch her reckless behavior. He shook her body and warned her:

"Hold on tight, I won't be responsible if you fall."

The mountain path was rugged, but for Ye Shanming it was almost the same as flat ground. He walked down the mountain quickly with the four concubines on his back.

But for Shijo Shinki, she felt like she was on a roller coaster. Even though she held on to Ye Shanming's shoulders tightly, it seemed as if she would be thrown off his back at any time.

"Ah, slow down!"

Shijo Shinki finally understood what Ye Shanming's warning meant. She screamed in surprise and no longer cared about her girlish modesty. She hugged Ye Shanming's neck tightly with both hands, fearing that she would be thrown off.

Shijo Shinki's entire upper body was pressed tightly against Ye Shanming's back. She had never thought that she would experience the feeling of motion sickness in her lifetime when she was carried down the mountain by someone.

It took less than two or three minutes for Ye Shanming to carry her down the mountain. Only at this time did Shijo Zhenfei feel a little better.

"I won't let you carry it again next time!"

"Heh, next time I'll just throw you over the mountain."

Ye Shanming scoffed at Shijo Shinki's complaints. It was a pity that he could not use the goddess' magic. Any monk could cure a mere sprain. Why did he need to see a doctor?

Chapter 9 The girl’s blush speaks louder than any words.

Although he was carrying a person on his back, Shijo Shinki's weight was not a burden to him at all, and he walked along the lakeside road towards the B&B.

Because she felt a little dizzy, Shijo Shinki weakly buried her head in Ye Shanming's shoulder, looking at the clear lake, feeling the close contact between her chest and the broad back, and a blush appeared on her pale face.

This was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a boy. She couldn't help but straighten her upper body and try to increase the distance between her chest and back.

This guy is sometimes quite reliable. Shijo Shinki turned her head, and her red pupils reflected the back of Ye Shanming's head.

From the first time I met this guy, I felt that he was weird. A relationship consultation turned his friend into a study-obsessed person. As a co-college student, his academic performance was put above that of himself and Shinomiya Kaguya. He never gave in to girls gently. Although I was often annoyed by him, I felt relaxed when getting along with him.

"Weird guy."

Shijo Shinki grumbled, and Ye Shanming heard it clearly. He looked back at her speechlessly and said unhappily:

"You're the weird one. If you continue to slander me, you'll just have to walk back on your own!"

After sending Shijo Shinki back to the inn run by her family, Hayama Akira went to the Shinomiya family inn across the street and was led to his room by the front desk staff.

"The restaurant is on the first floor, and the hot springs are across from the atrium. There's also a sauna, activity room, and entertainment room. All hours are welcome. I wish you a pleasant stay."

The receptionist, wearing a yukata, bowed respectfully and left the room, leaving Ye Shanming alone.

This is a traditional Japanese-style room with an elegant style and luxury hidden in its simplicity. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the beautiful view of Lake Ashi in the distance.

However, Ye Shanming was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. Three or four hours of continuous searching for traces of magic made him a little tired, so he just lay down on the tatami and took a short nap.

When he woke up, it was already dark outside the window. He went straight to the restaurant on the first floor to prepare for dinner. The girls had already returned from Hakone Shrine and were having dinner in the restaurant, preparing to go to the hot spring later.

Shijo Shinki was there too, but she was rarely seen wearing black stockings to hide the gauze on her ankle to avoid letting others know that she had sprained her ankle, which was embarrassing.

"Senior Scumbag, this way!"

Azusa Azusa was sitting and chatting happily with Kei Shirogane and Moe Fujiwara. When she saw Akira Hayama coming down, her eyes lit up and she quickly called him over.

Although it is a restaurant in the hotel, it still adopts the ordering system. Ye Shanming ordered the meal from the waiter before sitting at their table.

"It seems like you and Xiaogui are getting along pretty well."

Ye Shanming was originally worried that Azusa Azusa might have some barriers with the girls, but when he saw that she was talking and laughing with Shirogane Kei in just half a day, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Of course, Xiaogui is a nice person, and Sister Azusa is very cute, so we can definitely get along well."

Before Azusa Azusa could speak, Fujiwara Moe answered first, her eyes fixed on him, and she said:

"By the way, big brother, you are happy..."
