The all-powerful middle schooler

How could he possibly have such lowbrow tastes!

only......

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared intently into his wine-red eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief, as if she had gained a new understanding of someone.

Volume 4: Chapter 24 - The Onmyoji and Rikka's Determination

"Rikka has already gone far away... Do you want to come along?"

Hasegawa Izumi could see the stirring in her heart.

"Please take me with you!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha answered without hesitation.

With a 'bodyguard' by her side, her curiosity finally overcame her fear of the unknown.

After all, judging from how highly Takanashi praised her junior, she could easily imagine how powerful he was.

The two continued walking forward.

'I never imagined there really was another side to this world...'

Throughout the journey, Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart was filled with turmoil.

The mystery is attractive to everyone. After all, there are so many things that we cannot do as human beings. Everyone wants to change the status quo and see a higher view. Introducing supernatural power is the most direct fantasy.

After walking for a while, a checkpoint suddenly appeared at an intersection not far away. Some police officers were guarding the area, prohibiting others from entering or leaving. There was also a sign that said there had been a major traffic accident.

In the past, she wouldn't have taken it seriously, but now...

"Isn't this just an excuse to cover things up? The professionals that Takanashi mentioned have already gone to the scene."

She said with certainty.

"Yes."

Hanase Izumi nodded slightly.

However, this obviously only stopped ordinary people; Rikka, for example, sneaked in quietly.

"Let's keep walking."

"Just walk over like this?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely bewildered, but after seeing him calmly walk forward, she gritted her teeth and followed him, pretending to be nonchalant.

However, the obstacles she feared did not materialize.

The police officers didn't even come over to ask them anything, as if they were ignoring their presence.

"We've... become invisible?"

"You can think so."

"Junior, you actually possess this ability? You wouldn't possibly...?"

"Abilities are neither good nor bad; it depends on the user's will."

Sensing that someone's gaze had become strange, Izumi Hasegawa still said something.

"Eh~"

With a light touch of her finger to her red lips, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled slightly, her eyes alluring.

"If it's a junior, I wouldn't mind."

"Stop fishing."

.......

After entering the restricted area, Rikka Takanashi changed her posture, leaning forward and stretching her arms backward to speed up her journey.

The figures moved swiftly across the rooftop of a detached house, quickly arriving at the sealed-off central area.

She leaned against the eaves and peeked out.

About thirty meters away, there was a rather old house with several unidentified people standing in the courtyard, surrounding a well.

Several of them were wearing similar uniforms, and there was also a short-haired girl wearing a hoodie and glasses, carrying something that looked like a talisman.

At this distance, without any obstructions, as long as she focused her hearing, she could clearly hear the conversations of these government officials.

"Leave this to me. I will use a demon-slaying spell to temporarily seal off the leakage of demonic energy, and then go down to investigate the situation."

The one speaking was the girl.

"Is it really okay? If you're alone?"

One of the female team members asked with great concern.

"It's alright. Rather, I couldn't use my full strength if you were here."

The girl turned her head and said calmly.

"Well, you're right."

The female team member looked embarrassed but managed to force a smile.

None of the others denied it.

The seemingly young girl in front of me is named 'Teikyoko'. She is not an ordinary person, but a legendary 'Onmyoji'. She is said to be from Kansai and was called here to supplement the combat power due to the recent shortage of personnel in the Tokyo Countermeasures Office.

"Then, Miss Di, we'll retreat for now. If you need anything, you can call for backup at any time."

After discussing with the others, a veteran player made a decision.

"You'd better stay away. If the demonic energy erupts, it might erode the ground."

Teijingzi nodded and solemnly reminded him again.

"it is good."

The team members left one by one.

"Ok?"

The girl took out a few talismans and was about to make a move when she seemed to sense something. Suddenly, she glanced at the eaves of a house not far away.

Finding nothing amiss, she turned her gaze away and began to place talismans around the courtyard and the well.

This is a demon-slaying talisman that can suppress negative forces, especially demonic energy.

After investigation by the countermeasures bureau, it was discovered that the well in front of them was the culprit causing the poor health of the nearby residents, and its power was 'demonic energy'.

Therefore, she needs to prepare in advance before going down to investigate its true nature.

"We almost got caught. Looks like you're pretty perceptive."

Behind the eaves, Rikka Toriyuki muttered something to herself.

Through these people's conversations, she had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. It wasn't complicated; all she had to do was destroy the 'demon well' and everything would be back to normal.

"Should we join forces with her? Or...?"

She considered it for a moment and decided not to act rashly. To avoid potential trouble, she decided to keep a disguise for now.

......

"finished."

Dijingzi glanced around the courtyard, which was covered with countless talismans, which gave him more confidence. He then went to the well and looked down into the dark abyss, where the bottom could not be seen at a glance.

According to investigations, this courtyard has a history of several hundred years and has been preserved as an ancient building. The ancient well has long been unused, but since when, it has become a demon well.

Could this be an accident, or is there a deeper reason?

Without thinking too much, the girl made a hand gesture with her right hand: her ring and little fingers bent towards her palm, her index finger bent and resting on the back of her middle finger, and her thumb slightly bent—

This is the mudra of Indra.

As she chanted some incantation, a pile of talismans she carried flew out and formed a shikigami in the shape of a normal human.

"go."

Following instructions, the shikigami jumped to the bottom of the well.

A few seconds later, Teikyoko, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened them and, after confirming the shikigami's status, also jumped down.

Just one minute later.

Another figure appeared beside the well, wearing a long-sleeved black trench coat with red cloud patterns and a mask that revealed a pair of eyes, exuding mystery.

"It seems to be a barrier..."

"Could it be another enemy of that level?"

"Can I do it all by myself this time?"

She muttered something to herself, then her eyes quickly hardened.

If you have absolute confidence in every battle you encounter and there is no danger, how can you surpass yourself?

Only through battle, through the tempering of blood and fire, can one become an absolute powerhouse…!

Having figured this out, she jumped down as well.

Volume 4: Chapter 25 It's an interesting thing to give chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patients superpowers.

At the entrance of the courtyard, two figures, seemingly invisible, arrived at some unknown time.

"Was that... Takanashi?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes."

Hanase Chuanquan affirmed.

"Why was she dressed like that? Was it to hide her identity?"

"It's an interest."

This sentence feels like it's trying to fill in some gap.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't mind, and after hesitating for a moment, asked, "Should we go with them?"

To be honest, she was still a little scared.

Unless the junior can protect me every step of the way...

"No need, you can watch it here."

With a casual wave of his hand, Izumi Hasegawa created a mirror-like screen that appeared before him, on which the projected content quickly appeared.

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth wide, and it took her a long time to close it. She said meaningfully, "This seems to be even more useful than the invisibility spell."

Still hinting!

He remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard.

......

When Teikyoko landed on the ground, she discovered that the world below the well was unexpectedly vast, like a tunnel, at least six meters wide, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

The main problem was that the dark world blocked the view.

"Burn."

The air was filled with the smell of decay, which made her frown slightly. She took out a talisman, flicked it casually, and flames ignited on it, acting as a torch to illuminate the world in front of her. Then she saw an extremely horrifying scene.

The corpses of all sorts of insects, or animals like rats, piled up on the ground, not rotting, but only having an empty shell on the surface, their essence completely absorbed.

"That invisible suction force is also increasing... So, it's right ahead?"

With a sudden thought, Tei Kyoko took out another stack of talismans and blessed the shikigami with them. The body that had just looked weak suddenly became a little giant with muscles exploding, standing more than 3 meters tall.

With the shikigami in front and her holding up a talisman with burning flames behind her, she walked inside.

Before long, it came to an end.

At the end of the barrier, a similar enormous demonic well is placed vertically on top, like an open abyss maw, from which waves of evil aura continuously emanate, penetrating the bottom layer and gradually spreading in all directions.

"Is it the culprit behind all this? Is it really just a well?"
