Why are there only loser heroines around me?

A strong hand grabbed Yanami's collar and lifted her up from the group of evil spirits...

"What are you doing?!"

Ukyo was very angry and he noticed that Yanami's sword suddenly slowed down.

When a swordsman is anxious, his blade slows down and becomes blunt. The same applies to sports like shooting and running. When he and his junior fellow were practicing with their rifles at the same arena, he noticed that the younger fellow could easily hit a ten-ring, but his hand would sometimes shake when he fired. Ukyo initially thought it was just because he was new to the art of shooting and wasn't very skilled.

But his junior brother's hands always shook. Even if he wasn't good enough, he was still a half-blood, so he shouldn't have made such common mistakes so often. Later, when he asked him why, Ukyo realized his hands were shaking because he was thinking about Bai Yueguang while shooting. Whenever the image of Bai Yueguang appeared in his mind, his bullet's trajectory would deviate. So, Ukyo could almost understand why Yanami's movements had slowed down. Damn it, why did he always run into people like this?

"Youth is such a cruel thing. You have to learn to get used to it. You will think of your Bai Yueguang from time to time, but Bai Yueguang will not be thinking of you when he is in bed with someone else. Now is not the time to reason with you, but you have to hold the knife again, otherwise you will be a burden to me. Next time I go out to kill demons, I will leave you in Fengqiao. You can go to your favorite KTV and be the third party you love most with Hua Lian and Cao Jie..."

What a loss...

Yanami wanted to say that she really didn't think about it this time. She couldn't hold the knife just because the wound on her left leg was too painful. Although she did want Kusaki to see herself as a demon slayer, she heard that high school boys are in their second year of middle school and always fantasize about becoming heroes who protect the world in the dark. If Kusaki saw her now, would he be envious?

"Yanagi, are you still thinking about your ex?"

"I didn't!" Yanaijian was a little anxious.

"If you don't have one, please help me pick up my phone. My pocket was scratched by a vengeful ghost when I saved you." Ukyo said, "Ask Nekomata if he can possess me like the Inugami, and then come find me."

Ukyo ran towards Yuan with a knife in hand. The sullen young man who used two swords was also surrounded by vengeful ghosts. He was such a tough guy that he didn't say a word even when the evil spirits bit his waist on both sides at the same time.

Ukyo flashed around Gen at high speed. He couldn't pull Gen out like he pulled out Yanami, because there were too many vengeful ghosts surrounding him, and Ukyo could only chop them one by one.

"Your dual-wielding style is terrible. Your left and right hands are not coordinated. If you use dual-wielding swords just to look cool, then I suggest you stick with a single sword. A swordsman with a single sword is equally handsome."

Surrounded by resentful ghosts, Yuan's pupils shrank. "How did you know I can't use dual swords?"

Ukyo said, "Because I have seen a true two-sword swordsman, this kind of small situation would not be a problem for him at all."

"Is this a small matter?" Genji chuckled. "Actually, I've been looking for help. The Genji family's historical treatment of demons was extreme, and therefore offended many Onmyoji families. That's why I'm fighting alone now. The other Onmyoji in Tokyo won't help me. I've been eyeing this nightclub for a long time, always looking for help. I lied to you at dinner. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have attacked this place at all."

Ukyo's moon-like blade cut off the forearm of an evil spirit. "You gave me a cigar, so we're even."

"Ha." The smile on Yuan's face was pale. "You're so kind! If we can survive tonight, I'll buy you any sword you like at the expo!"

He was about to collapse, not because the evil spirits kept biting him, but because his sense of pain was very weak after being possessed all over his body. The reason he couldn't hold on was that the scenes of those girls being abused when they were alive were playing in his mind. He wanted to kill these wronged souls, and then these things would fight back. No matter how tenacious his spirit was, he couldn't withstand the torture of the evil spirits.

"Wake up," Ukyo said to him, "You owe me too much of a favor. I want two!"

"Ukyo!" Yanami threw his cell phone over. The more than ten meters between them was too far for her. She couldn't kill him with her swordsmanship, but her arm strength was very good, and she was confident that she could throw the phone into Ukyo's hands!

The Nekomata's voice echoed in Ukyo's mind—

It told Ukyo a hand gesture, which was the hand gesture used by Japanese Onmyoji to control Shikigami. It could free it from the mobile phone, but it was subject to the power of the talisman. It had to possess like Inugami and give the "Onmyoji" his own power!

The moment Youjing made the hand gesture, the cat flew out from the screen again, and its two claws firmly grasped Youjing's shoulders.

Back——

This was Ukyo's first feeling after being possessed. His physique, his speed, his strength... it was as if he had found a familiar feeling at this moment.

But the next moment, the only place on his body that was bitten by the evil spirits, on his left arm, suddenly became extremely painful, as if the pain had doubled. In addition, the wailing of those evil spirits in his ears also became louder, to the point where his ears felt painful.

But these are of no concern, all he needs is speed and strength!

From the moment they possessed him, “they” couldn’t even touch the hem of Ukyo’s clothes.

He suddenly leaped to his feet with incredible speed. His blade struck with a fluid, unwavering swiftness, slashing with it without a sluggish swipe, like a black cat hunting a gray-skinned mouse at night! He suppressed the evil spirits like a superior or inferior in the food chain, and every strike was decisive!

Gen saw the Nekomata lying behind Ukyo. Its pupils were green in the dark, and it was clearly a cat, but Gen felt like he was being stared at by a tiger. Then he was pulled out of the group of evil spirits by Ukyo.

There are three ideal types of shikigami for Onmyoji: dogs, foxes, and cats. If you use dogs too much, your mind will become as wild as a dog, and gradually become a madman like him who acts without regard for the consequences.

The second is the fox. If you use it too much, you will be bewitched by the fox who is good at charm, and your essence will be sucked away in the land of tenderness, and you will be turned into a piece of yellow earth.

Finally, the cat. Dogs enhance strength and reduce pain; foxes enhance speed and spirit. Cats enhance strength and speed, but also increase pain and reduce spirit. Conversely, cats don't demand a price. Unlike dogs and foxes, which only focus on devouring the Onmyoji who imprisoned them, cat demons typically seek a long-term meal plan.

They will follow a wealthy Onmyoji for a long time, absorb the demonic power from other monsters they hunt, and complement the Onmyoji. Therefore, even after being possessed by a cat, the pain sensation will increase and the mental immunity will weaken. This type of monster is still the first choice of "physical skill" Onmyoji.

Minamoto is envious of Ukyo for having a Nekomata.

I also envy him for being able to use his single sword so beautifully.

Every move of his sword seemed to have been tempered by blood and fire. In the past, it would be difficult to kill a vengeful spirit without finding out the source of its resentment. However, in his hand was the demon-slaying sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Minamoto family. This allowed the Minamoto clan's demon slayers to kill evil spirits without having to trace back to the source!

Ukyo doesn't look like a 15-year-old high school student at all. Minamoto seems to see in him the epic demon-slaying past of the Minamoto family history. If Minamoto no Raikou were still alive, he would certainly swing his sword as decisively and lethally as he does!

The evil spirits in front of the nightclub were quickly cleared out. Many resentful spirits that had gathered around the gate to the underworld rushed over, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to kill the three ghost hunters. Otherwise, the evil spirits in the nightclub alone would not be so difficult for them to deal with.

But now, those evil spirits who were struggling to survive in various places in Tokyo and taking advantage of the situation saw that the situation was not right and fled. Whoever flew slower would be in the front row of the evil spirits, and what would be waiting for him would be the ghost hunting knife in Ukyo's hand.

Yuan slowly lit a cigar with a thin match, and after everything was over, he handed the cigar to him and said, "Brother Ukyo, please."

Yanami carried the back of the knife on her shoulder and finished her lollipop. The first thing she did after the battle was to take out her mobile phone to take pictures. There were still a few evil spirits in the night sky, and the pictures would definitely be very atmospheric.

After finishing the photo shoot, she squatted on the ground to edit the video. The wound on her calf miraculously disappeared. When she was bitten, she felt strange that there was no blood on the wound. Now that she thinks about it, it is strange that a ghost, an intangible thing, can hurt her. It seems that they are directly attacking concepts such as "soul". Once the ghost's body dies, this attack will disappear.

Yuan Ye lit another cigar.

"Brother Ukyo, you use a knife better than Tachibana Ukyo."

This compliment is a bit exaggerated. Tachibana Ukyo's Fine Snow, Afterimage Step Forward Slash and Yan Liulian are all virtual moves. He can slash out several swords in the instant of drawing the sword, which is simply not something a human can do.

"Are you hungry?" Yanaijian, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly asked.

Yuan thought that Yanajian was calling on him. After experiencing such a big battle, as the host, he must treat everyone to a meal.

Although it was late, the three people present were very hungry. Yuan didn't want to go through the trouble of looking for a 24-hour luxury restaurant on the map, so he invited the two ghost hunters to his home for a delicious meal. He would cook for the two "benefactors" himself. He had lived on his own since he was a child, so he was a good cook.

Gen's home is also in Shinjuku.

The place where he lived was called Genji Mansion, which stood elegantly in the CBD business district, with the Ginza Hotel on the left and a main road on the right.

"I own this mansion permanently. It used to be quite quiet, but a few years ago the government designated it a commercial area. They wanted to demolish it, but the Emperor and I are good friends, and I own the property, so they couldn't. They had to keep it. Fortunately, they didn't do that, otherwise the evil spirits trapped beneath the Genji Mansion would have rushed out like crazy, and the entire Shinjuku would have been doomed..."

When he said this, his eyes looked a little sad.

"That's how it is with a family of fallen Onmyoji. They're supposed to be protecting Tokyo, but no one believes you when you say that. They just think you're a bit of a chuunibaku, or maybe you're crazy. When I was little, I told my classmates that there was an evil spirit beneath my house that could destroy Shinjuku, but they treated me like a fool, saying I was playing with abstractions. Ukyo-kun, someone like you... should understand me."

Yuan, who was selecting ingredients in the kitchen, waited for a long time but received no response from the other party.

When I turned my head to look over, I found that he was whispering to his female companion——

Yanami asked quietly, "Ukyo, when you were a kid, did you ever tell others that you were a demon slayer?"

Ukyo was afraid of irritating Gen, so he also spoke in a low voice, "No, I've never believed in ghosts."

"Haha~, me too. He's so funny. If he tells others about this kind of thing, it would be strange if they don't treat him like a fool, right?"

"I think he's pretty stupid too. We've been seeing each other for so long, and he didn't even tell us his name."

"Haha~" Yanaijian covered her mouth and chuckled, "He probably thinks just calling him 'Yuan' is cool. He's so childish."

Minamoto Chihiro's face turned pale.

Didn't the two of them notice that the mansion was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and no matter how quietly they spoke, he, as the person involved, could hear them clearly?

While the two were chatting privately, Maoli sent him a message.

He is working overtime again today.

Mao Li asked him when he could return to Toyohashi.

Recently, the police station received two reports that two middle-aged women lost their children. One of them was pushing a stroller and chatting with a neighbor when she suddenly turned around and found that her child was missing.

Another woman was sleeping at home and discovered that her child was missing when she was about to feed him in the morning.

There were surveillance cameras at both crime scenes, but no criminals were captured on camera. The police officer who took the case could not find any clues, so he handed the case over to the "Paranormal Investigation Section" under his leadership.

Mao Li was very anxious because his department currently lacked the combat power to directly fight against the monsters. Every night when he took Yoshiki and Chihaya out to investigate, he was afraid that these two frail women would be swallowed by the monsters that appeared out of nowhere.

"Ukyo, brother? How long are you going to stay in Tokyo? I can't live without you."

Volume 67: Chapter This is... Hell...

Ukyo felt a little swollen in his Jingming acupoint. The Toyohashi police have been recruiting people in society who can fight against the supernatural, and some people have responded, but the only one who is capable of fighting has already "died in the line of duty".

He was thinking whether he should develop Onumi Yoshiki and Asagumo Chihaya into "night watchmen" as well.

Honestly, Ukyo thinks they're both smarter than the clueless Yanami, especially Chihaya Asakumo. Ukyo knows she's been secretly stalking her boyfriend during the holidays, suspecting Mitsuki of cheating on Lemon, so she keeps a close eye on him. If Chihaya Asakumo has the resolve to fight the supernatural, or if she's simply drawn to the night watchman's job, she'll definitely be a key player in Toyohashi's exorcist community.

Youjing was thinking about how to trick these two people into joining his gang.

He felt that both of them were too young and that such life-threatening matters should be left to adults.

But they both have "special abilities", so the task of slaying demons falls solely on them.

Ukyo deleted the entire deception he had edited, making it look fake, and finally sent them both the same exact message:

"You have a lot of free time during the summer vacation. Would you like to consider learning kendo? I can provide you with a 30 yen monthly pass for free. You can use it as a fitness program."

"........"

The next morning.

Ukyo acted as the driver and drove Minamoto's Hummer to 3-11-1 Ariake, Eto-ku, Tokyo.

The sword expo jointly organized by Samsung and Suzuki Foundation is there.

He hadn't touched the steering wheel for a long time and was a little uncomfortable. Yuan told him not to worry about the Tokyo police. If they dared to check his driver's license, he would take out a photo of himself and the emperor.

Yanami was scrambling for angles to take photos in the backseat. It was her first time riding in a Hummer, and it felt so big and spacious, and the atmosphere inside was so relaxing. Unlike her first time riding in a luxury car, she only dared to answer questions next to Ukyo's mother...

Youjing thought he could gain something from this expo, but how could the "Five Swords of the World" that had been lost for a long time be so easy to find?

But Ukyo had other gains.

He stopped in front of a sword with a white label underneath that read "Muramasa".

The Murasame he used before was a fictional sword... After killing an enemy with it, clear water would flow from the blade to wash away the blood. But the Murasame was actually a craft sword made of alchemical materials.

However, Muramasa is a famous sword that did appear in history. Seishu Muramasa is a type of sword. The Muramasa family in the Muromachi period was famous for casting high-quality Japanese swords. The "Muramasa" passed down in later generations usually refers to the one used by Sanada Yukimura.

The sword in front of him was silver in the eyes of ordinary people, but black in Ukyo's eyes. This proved that it was the same as the swords enshrined in the Genji family, and its previous owner was a ghost hunter.

All weapons produced by the Muramasa family have a unified standard——

When the blade is inserted into water, the leaves flowing through the blade will be cut off by the "momentum" emitted by the blade before they touch any solid object. This statement is somewhat fabricated and exaggerated, but Ukyo doesn't care about that. As long as it can kill demons, it is a good sword.

The blade and handle of this sword were separated. No one knew what the previous owner did with it, and the handle was crushed into pieces. The swordsman's fingerprints could be clearly seen in the wreckage in the display case. If he wanted to use this sword, he would need to find someone to reconfigure the handle and guard.

The price on the white label is 260 million US dollars. In the Muramasa series, this price has exceeded the baseline of 200 million. However, the tail of this sword is engraved with the ancient long inscription "Seshu Kuwana Sumuemon-no-no Fujiwara Muramasa", which means that this sword was forged by the first generation of Muramasa called Saemon-no-no. He is the ancestor of Muramasa swordsmiths, and all subsequent craftsmen's Muramasa are imitating him.

I paid the full amount as a thank you for last night.

Yanajian fell in love with an ancient straight-blade sword. The small label underneath wrote the origin of the sword. It was said that this was a sword forged for Abe Haruaki by a female craftsman who loved him with her own "hard work". Unfortunately, Haruaki did not like to use swords, so the sword had been gathering dust in his home. Due to the influence of the Shikigami in his courtyard, the blade gradually acquired magical powers. It was sold for US$2000, which could only be regarded as a bonus among the famous swords.

But the hilt of this sword is quite beautiful, made of a metal plate with embossed sharkskin-like protrusions instead of the usual non-slip viper skin handle. This is the handle of a decorative sword, and perhaps the woman who gave the sword simply wanted to leave a lasting impression on Seimei, so she made it as a decorative sword. The end of the hilt is luxuriously decorated with gold powder, reminiscent of the "gentleman's accessory sword" often seen in works from the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

A swordsman's liking for a sword is very important.

Since Yanajian likes this sword, then buy it. Its blade may not be sharp, but it is also a famous weapon that can kill demons.

........

...

"I really hope you can stay in Tokyo for a few more days." Gen sent the two of them on the plane, and he used his connections in Tokyo to help with the luggage check-in. Before leaving, he gave Ukyo a copy of "Genji's Book of Demon Slayers", which recorded the types of monsters in more detail than the official editions such as "One Hundred Demons Night Parade Record". He knew that Ukyo came to Tokyo to learn more about the "resurrection of the supernatural".

Unfortunately, he didn't understand this matter either.

No one knows why those fictional creatures on the Internet suddenly appear in reality, but we should not be stingy with gifts to our friends, hoping that Genji's "Demon Slayer List" can help them.

......

The first thing Ukyo did after landing was to help Maori find his child.

It was impossible to dispatch police forces to such a confusing case. In fact, Maori had almost given up searching for a whole day. If these resurrected monsters didn't want to be found by humans, he had no way to stop them.

But Yanami shared a photography parameter, which gave Maori a glimmer of hope.

But the road cameras didn't have a function to switch filters. Hope arose, but then it was shattered. He could only temporarily file the two supernatural cases and let the police officers comfort the two women. The incident could not escape the fermentation of the Internet. The two mothers were eager to find their sons, so they used social networks to spread the matter, hoping that someone could provide clues. But three to five days passed, not only were no clues found, but the frequent repetitive things on the Internet made netizens feel visually fatigued... Soon, the popularity of this "lost child" incident plummeted, and together with other unsolved cases, it began to gather dust in the case library.

...

7 month 19 day.

The day Yanami took the detective exam was also the first day back to school during the summer vacation at Ishifu High School.

Yanami asked for leave and did not attend the class meeting. Ukyo wrote down some of the precautions that Teacher Ganxia said in a memo, took a screenshot and sent it to Yanami. The school gate will remain open until the evening, and those who do not want to go home can stay in school until seven o'clock in the evening.

Ukyo missed his "office" so he spent the rest of the morning alone in the club room.

He pondered how to help the two women find their children. Mori had given up, but the two mothers persisted. Ukyo could actually empathize with them. He, too, had to remember someone. If he forgot, that person's existence in the world would be completely dead. Presumably, the same was true for those mothers.
