hum.

The spear tore through the air, creating a trembling sound.

The spear of light, imbued with divine power, pierced through the forehead of an undead, who instantly turned into a cloud of black ash and vanished.

"Phew...this is the thirty-third one today."

Yotsuya Miko wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face flushed and her breathing slightly labored.

"This is the 34th one. However, compared to yesterday, the undead are more scattered today, which is why it feels more tiring."

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of her energy drink.

She no longer drinks these things, but because she needs to replenish fluids and energy, she has no choice but to change her habits.

However, compared to before, her physical condition is now significantly better.

After all, he ran nearly ten kilometers in less than half a day, which would have been unthinkable in the past.

"Sigh... This is really troublesome. Although there are a lot of undead, most of them are concentrated in the crowd. If I want to practice, I have to find a special place."

Besides hospitals, office buildings in the city center are the places where the dead are most likely to gather.

After all, the island is full of people who work overtime for 996 hours a day, so the number of people who die suddenly or commit suicide in the island is among the highest in the world every year.

However, because there were too many passersby, it was impossible to go there in broad daylight to exorcise the demon.

Although passersby cannot see the spirits of the dead, they can see them.

If unrelated people saw them randomly poking around with light guns in the street, making all sorts of inhuman movements and speeds, they would make the headlines the next day.

"But the one who has the hardest job is Lord Rosen, since he has to lead us around all the time."

Looking at Rosen sitting not far away, Yotsuya Miko felt extremely guilty.

"We are the family members, yet we have to make the gods hesitate. We feel really bad about it."

"If you feel indebted, just think of a way to repay Rosen."

Mai Sakurajima said.

"How can I possibly repay this kindness? I have absolutely no idea what Lord Rosen likes."

Looking at the bewildered Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima Mai recalled the meaningful smile that Lawson gave her when she first met him, as he looked at her in her black bunny girl outfit.

Thinking of this, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but shudder, and her legs involuntarily began to squirm.

Strangely, even when she thought about those things, she didn't feel any resistance at all.

On the contrary, there was even a faint sense of longing and anticipation.

Mai Sakurajima could only assume that it wasn't her true thought.

"By the way, I've noticed that Lord Rosen lives alone, so it must be inconvenient for him to eat. I'll just pack him a pre-made bento every morning!"

Because her mother was often busy with work, Miko Yotsuya mastered the essential skills for independence.

I wouldn't say my cooking is exceptionally delicious, but I'm certainly quite skilled at making everyday dishes.

"That would be fine, but if you bring lunch to Lawson, other classmates might easily misunderstand your relationship."

"A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding! Anyway, I greatly admire Lord Rosen!"

Yotsuya Miko was a little shy, but in reality, she was somewhat looking forward to being misunderstood.

Although Rosen was sitting a little far away, he could actually hear the conversation between the two women very clearly.

However, he didn't expose him. Instead, he walked over and said, "Ordinary undead shouldn't be a threat to you anymore. I'll take you to the next stage of training."

Rosen took them to a park.

Because it was the weekend, there were quite a few parents with their children playing in the area.

The children's laughter brought a sense of peace, but the two women clearly noticed that many spirits lingered among the bustling crowd.

Moreover, both women discovered that some of the undead deliberately disguised themselves as ordinary people.

Some were dressed as circus clowns, while others disguised themselves as ordinary children playing, mechanically asking people, "Can you see me?"

Once someone responds, the result will instantly transform into a vengeful ghost seeking revenge.

Rosen recalled a scene in the original work where Yotsuya Miko was perfectly deceived by this type of undead.

If there hadn't been a contract with the false mountain god, and the little fox spirit hadn't been sent to protect her, Yotsuya Miko would have already died.

"Lord Rosen, what are we doing here?"

Yotsuya Miko made eye contact with the spirits for a moment.

Even though the undead had noticed her, she was confident because of her strength and didn't act too unnaturally.

"I'm having you train yourselves to kill undead when there are many people around and you don't get caught. After all, there are many unexpected situations in daily life, and you can't always only act when there are no people around."

Chapter Sixty-Six: A Unique Touch

"As expected of Lord Rosen, he even thought of something like this!"

Yotsuya Miko was still thinking about how to make her move in a crowded place.

Today, Lord Rosen is preparing to give them special training. The fact that he could even think of something like this only deepened her admiration for him.

Sakurajima Mai looked at the girl, who could be happy even about something like this, with a bit of speechlessness.

But then I thought about it.

Would a simple personality like Yotsuya Miko's be better?

Having experienced the entertainment industry, her emotional threshold is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Soon, the group identified a ghost disguised as someone holding a balloon.

At this moment, the spirit was near a group of children, mimicking their playful actions. Sometimes it would walk up to a child and ask if he could see it, but each time it was passed through the body of a normal child.

But the dead are not giving up.

They, with their low intelligence, mechanically repeat this behavior.

After all, for them, catching just one is a win.

"It's not easy to kill undead in a crowd. After all, if you're not skilled, you'll easily be mistaken for a chuunibyou by passersby. But if you're careful, that won't happen."

"First of all, large weapons like the Light Spear are obviously unusable in crowded places, but you can miniaturize the Holy Light, like I can."

Under the gaze of the two women.

Rosen condensed holy light on the inside of his palm.

The holy light emitted a faint glow and formed a dagger-like shape.

"As long as it doesn't attract attention and is sufficiently lethal, its shape is not fixed."

Then, in their line of sight, Rosen walked behind the undead and made a gesture of reaching out to the air.

The dagger of light sliced through the undead, cleaving it in two.

Rosen then returned.

His leisurely stroll made it impossible for anyone to detect anything amiss.

There were instances where he was being watched, but those were mostly mature young women attracted by Rosen's appearance and demeanor.

"Lord Luo Guang is amazing!"

Yotsuya Miko clasped her hands together and exclaimed with longing.

"Which of you comes first?"

"Rosen asked."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko volunteered and then targeted a dead spirit.

Changing the weapon's appearance using holy light wasn't difficult, but Yotsuya Miko was always discovered by the undead when she got close.

Startled by the sudden reaction, Yotsuya Miko could only adopt a wide-open stance each time.

Although she remembered Rosen's teachings and did not use the conspicuous light gun, in the eyes of others, Yotsuya Miko was like a chuunibyou who suddenly started dancing.

Parents cautiously pulled their children away.

"Lord Luo Guang, why is this happening?"

When she returned to Luo Guang, the girl looked very aggrieved.

"This is probably due to your constitution. You have the ability to see spirits, which makes you more likely to attract the attention of the dead."

In the original work, Yotsuya Miko attracted many powerful undead spirits on several occasions.

Those undead are more intelligent.

Although they cannot act before confirming that the girl has seen them, they often use various methods, such as intimidation, bewitching, and enticement, to make Yotsuya Miko see them.

It was also thanks to Yotsuya Miko's strong mentality that she kept telling herself that she couldn't see them.

Anyone else would have given in long ago.

"Practice more in the future. Next up is Bunny Girl Senior."

Upon hearing this address, Mai Sakurajima was taken aback for a moment, then blushed.

However, because of the mask, it wasn't very noticeable.

Mai Sakurajima raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lawson to express her displeasure before turning to walk towards a ghost.

Swish-!

Before the spirit could react, its neck was separated from its body.

Mai Sakurajima's only action was to swing her sword at the undead.

The holy light condensed into a blade shape that stretched past the arm, clearly visible even in the sunlight.

However, none of the passersby noticed her unusual behavior.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Yotsuya Miko was dumbfounded.

This went unnoticed.

These passersby are probably acting!

"It must be the effect of the 'Existence Vanishes' skill. Compared to a warrior, Mai is indeed more suited to be an assassin. This kind of training is child's play for her."

Rosen chuckled and spoke.

"Well done. From now on, the two of you can divide the work and cooperate."

Rosen said.

"I just have an advantage in skills."

Mai Sakurajima blushed slightly.

Although I was always praised when I was a star, being praised by Lawson had a different kind of impact on me.

Seeing Mai Sakurajima's performance, Miko Yotsuya also resolved to work hard.

Training stops when the sun sets.

"Alright, that's enough training for today. I'll take you out for a big meal."

"Great!"

Not long after, the three arrived at a high-end Wagyu beef buffet restaurant.

Yotsuya Miko swallowed hard as she looked at the price tag of 50,000 yen for a single figure.
