Why are there only loser heroines around me?

He didn't look like he had ever been through a fierce battle. No one knew that he had sent a Thai ogre back to hell last night, but Oshino Hakkai made a lot of noise yesterday. Many people took pictures of him jumping on the roof like a ninja with a fire knife in his hand.

Not long ago, it was him who ended the "Suffocation" challenge, and it was also him who buried the drought demon that appeared in Mikawa Park deep underground. Now, he is also the one who solved the strange creature crisis in Oshino Hakkai. Many people asked what the fire knife in his hand was under the video. When Ukyo saw the video, he wanted to reply that it was just an ordinary knife that was set on fire after pouring alcohol on it.

But he suddenly noticed that netizens were giving his sword all sorts of bizarre names, many of which lacked logic and were even trending towards the comical. Ukyo didn't want his sword to be mocked online by passersby for having a funny name, so he replied to a comment with the words "Meisha Yanmo Dao." If he had to live with a ridiculous sword name for the rest of his life, he might as well borrow a friend's sword. He would light two cigars for his junior's roommate, hoping that when he ran out of cigarettes in his original world, he'd find a couple in the dorm's corners.

Yanami, who had already changed into kendo protective gear, was waving at her.

Through the mesh-like helmets, it was difficult for Ukyo to distinguish who was who, but he was aware of Yanami's height, and there were not many female swordsmen participating in the dan ranking tournament.

Yanamichi drew the first match of the morning, and Ukyo was glad that he got back on time.

Her first move was very beautiful. She avoided the opponent's shoulder chop and slashed the opponent's side with the bamboo sword.

The special promotion match is based on a three-point system. A hit to the face, hand, waist, or throat is worth 1 point each. It is a BO3 match, and one side wins if they win two match points.

According to the normal process of promotion, a swordsman at level 15 can take part in the first-level assessment and can participate in the second-level promotion after training for one year. That is to say, Yanami's opponent has trained for one year longer than her, but Yanami can easily see through the opponent's moves. With the second move, she easily split the folding knife in the opponent's hand and hit the face to win the match point.

Her opponent felt the weight of Yanami's wooden sword, as if she were facing off against a full-grown swordsman. In a trance, she was struck in the throat again, forcing her to focus completely on the opponent's folding knife. Through her protective gear, she saw Yanami's smile, already celebrating victory. Celebrating victory beforehand is a taboo in competition! The opponent instinctively thought they had found Yanami's weakness, and their bamboo sword slashed upwards, cutting at Yanami's hand at a tricky angle. But the girl's smile instantly faded, and she took a tiny step back to avoid the blow, then lunged forward!

The bamboo knife hit the throat.

The battle ended in a flash, and the swordsmen from both sides came to the center of the field to salute each other.

She's really talented.

Although this was a second-level assessment match, the match was a crushing victory. Yanami's true strength was at least at the third or fourth level. After all, he was a swordsman who had experienced blood and fire together with him. He was fundamentally different from ordinary people who usually took the "playing house" style swordsmanship courses.

Yanami took off his protective helmet, made a scissors sign to Ukyo in the stands, and ran towards him with a smile.

"How is it? Am I awesome?"

Ukyo had a kind smile on his face.

"Yes".

"I'm also very confident about the detective exam, even though the results haven't come out yet..." Yana stretched out her body, feeling very tired. She had been smiling in recent days, but preparing for the exam was actually quite tiring. She didn't show her tiredness in front of others, but that didn't mean she wasn't tired.

"I've finally gotten my detective license, Ukyo... How much salary can I expect after I officially become a member of your detective club?"

"For interns, it's 15 yen per month, and 20 yen after becoming a regular employee. This is the guaranteed minimum wage, and there are additional performance bonuses based on the number of monsters killed each month." Ukyo said, "Most of the time, we kill demons for free. This is our destiny as demon slayers. But in the future, there will be more and more people in the detective agency, and more and more mouths to feed us. Not everyone has the ambition to be a demon slayer, and they will only work if you pay them. So, in order to support the future of the club, as the vice president, Yanami, it's time for you to go out and take on some commissions from wealthy people."

Yanajian stood there blinking, she seemed to be a little frozen.

I originally thought that all I had to do was pay the money, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome in practice.

"Do you have a bank card?" Youjing asked suddenly.

"No~"

"Go get one," Ukyo said. "If the assessment goes well and the contract is signed, I'll set up a fixed amount for transfer at the end of next month. But before the salary, I have another payment to give you."

.........

.....

Mao Li's 3000 million yen bounty has already been received.

But Ukyo didn't know what would happen if he suddenly transferred 1500 million yuan to a high school student. She might go crazy first, then start spending lavishly. Once people experience the life of the rich, it's hard to return to ordinary life. Even sudden wealth can change a person's personality. Money is also a kind of superpower, and the end result of ordinary people awakening superpowers is usually to become evil and do whatever they want.

So on the day when Yanami's assessment results came out, Ukyo first transferred one-tenth of it, 300 million yuan, to her, telling her that it was the government bounty for killing the Black Dog Head last time, and the remaining money was still going through the process, so it would take time.

He planned to see what Yanami, as a high school student, would do with the money.

As a result, Yanami actually took out 1.5 million and gave it to her father. Ukyo heard that her father's company had an accident this month and all the salaries were reduced, which made her family depressed every day.

Her father was shocked when he received the money. His 15-year-old daughter, who was in high school, suddenly transferred a sum of money to him. The first thing he thought of was how did his daughter get the money?

His daughter is definitely not the kind of bad kid who would bully others. Half of the summer vacation has passed, and she is likely to go out to work and earn money. His baby daughter has hardly stayed at home during this vacation and has even gone on a long trip.

But where could he find a job to earn 150 million yuan a month? The father didn't dare to think any further. No matter what his daughter did, he couldn't beat or scold her. One night, Yanai was called into the house by her worried-looking father and mother to talk alone.

The first thing my father said was, "Xingcai, our family is not so poor that we need our daughter to go to that kind of place to earn money to supplement the family income. Xingcai, promise dad that you won't go to that kind of place. Dad's salary will be paid next month, and you and your daughter don't have to worry about your livelihood... I'm sorry, I'm an incompetent man..."

Her father and mother cried together.

Yanami couldn't hold back her tears, but she quickly explained the current situation. She didn't sell herself, she just went to save the world.

"?"

Yanami showed the two elders her "Ukyo Another Detective Agency business card" and also showed them the video of her boss slaying demons on the Internet. She also had Detective Mori's phone number in her mobile phone. If the two elders didn't believe it, they could call Detective Mori, or she could take them to the Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow. Everyone there knew her.

Even with all the evidence, Dad still didn't believe it. He thought the videos online were just special effects for young people. But Mom said her best friend was at Sanhe Park a month ago, and the stories about supernatural resurrections and drought demons were definitely real. Even the government had issued a notice, and the recent "suffocation murder case" was a huge sensation. Although none of us had seen any supernatural phenomena with our own eyes, who knew if they were real?

In fact, it’s not that the father doesn’t believe it, he just can’t accept that his daughter has suddenly become a hero protecting the world. Like many middle-aged men, he always pays attention to the news. Of course, he knows about the suffocation game and the horrific Mikawa Park case. He even knows about the "Thailand Murder Case" that happened in Oshino Hakkai a few days ago. Ukyo’s identity has long been no secret. He has been photographed too many times. After the summer vacation began, everyone knew that he was a student of Ishiji High School.

A man like Ukyo could have no problem saving the world, battling monsters, and one day dying for justice. Somewhere in the world, there would be several more monuments and cenotaphs dedicated to him, and those he saved would mourn and thank him. The fundamental reason he had no problem being a hero was that Yanami was his blood, even though he wasn't his own child. He couldn't accept the thought of his daughter following that Ukyo and suddenly dying in some corner of the world one day.

So he went to find Ukyo.

When he visited the Ukyo family's "mansion" in the suburbs of Toyohashi, the first thing he felt was shock. In front of such a luxurious house, he was even a little afraid to step in.

But the lady in the house was very polite and even offered him slippers, saying that her children were upstairs.

He asked Ukyo's mother if she knew what her child was doing. She said she knew. When she gave birth to Ukyo, she felt that her son was extraordinary. He was not like a normal person with excellent academic performance, and he had a good look that could make his debut directly. People like him, if they don't run for president, can only be heroes.

Yanami's father didn't understand the logic behind this and thought the woman might be sick.

When he saw Youjing, the young man was organizing the recent supernatural resurrection cases on a huge blackboard on the second floor. The red lines were very complicated and he didn't notice that an outsider had come in.

He repeatedly circled the word "fiction" on the blackboard and muttered... "The ghosts affected by the resurrection of the supernatural all have abilities given to them by the secondary creators. Because the popularity is so high, the number of secondary abilities of various ghosts on the Internet is also increasing. Does this mean that the information about ghosts will also be [time-sensitive]? After all, I can't predict what abilities the secondary creators will cancel or add..."

"It's impossible to break the pens in the hands of the world's second creators. I can monitor networks around the world in real time, but no matter how many people I gather, I can't monitor all the information on the internet in real time..."

I'm a little homesick... I need a supercomputer that can monitor the world's networks, like Norma.

My father’s business in the United States is in the field of artificial intelligence. I wonder if he can help?”

"I haven't spoken to him for a long time..."

"Huh?" Ukyo suddenly noticed the man standing at the stairs.

The invisible Gūhō bird hung the "rabbet" around the neck of the unknown intruder. As long as Ukyo gave the order, she could cut the intruder's throat. Unlike Nekomata, Ukyo modified Qingming's Platycodon seal according to Zhang Tianshi's talisman, allowing Gūhō bird to enter and exit the phone freely.

Ukyo waved his hand, signaling her to put the sword down.

"please sit down."

Yanai's father felt like he was facing a great enemy. He was not so nervous even when meeting his leader.

The boy poured him some red wine, the bottle of which was labeled 1980. He realized that this might be the most expensive glass of red wine he had ever drunk since he was born, and to the boy in front of him, this glass of wine was just something he casually picked up to entertain guests.

"I think you should respect your daughter's opinion." This was the first sentence Ukyo said.

"At first, I told her it was dangerous, but on the night I performed the 'Choking Game', she opened the door and saved me."

Ukyo placed the phone in front of the man, and inside was the scene of Yanami slashing the black dog's head with a knife during his second participation in the game.

"Your daughter is very talented and the world needs her."

The man stared at the video screen intently. He was very cautious and felt that the boy in front of him might be trying to trick him into selling his daughter.

Volume 71: Chapter Xiaoju, push her away.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not forcing you to sell your daughter."

The other party revealed his inner thoughts in one sentence, which put the man in a passive position again.

Just as he was pondering how to regain the initiative in the negotiation, a dark shadow appeared behind the sofa where he was sitting. It was a slender, handsome bird-like figure. Her rapier smelled of damp copper rust from an ancient tomb, and the feathers trembling slowly in the still air of the air conditioner told him that this was not any prop or special effect.

Yanaijian's father shuddered. This thing was like a ghost. It was clearly standing behind him, but he couldn't feel it at all.

Ukyo did not intentionally let the Kumotori unhide to scare the other party. This was entirely her own decision.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. She didn't mean to do that."

"This is Guhuo Bird. Since you are a local, you should have heard of the legend of Guhuo Bird.

"Two weeks ago, everyone thought it was the Guhuo Bird that snatched the women's children, but in reality, she had simply taken them to a safe place. The one who truly wanted to devour the children was a Thai ogre from the last century, and I have now sent him back to hell."

"This is a great job. Your daughter passed the special promotion exam for a second-degree swordsman at such a young age. Even eighth-degree swordsmen praised her talent. She took only two months to pass the professional detective exam, which would take ordinary people at least two years to prepare for. Although her score is only passing, it's not a big deal, you know? She also has eyes that can see strange creatures. But these are not what I like about her. Her most valuable quality is her ability to control the battle situation. She always has a precise sense of when to do what."

The man didn't understand what he was saying. He described his daughter as someone with a mission, as if she was born to slay demons.

Ukyo wasn't entirely sure. He could somewhat understand his teacher's struggles; it was hard to imagine how he managed to convince so many freshmen each semester to join him in the great cause of slaying the dragon. For someone who normally spoke very little, the above was his limit. Even if you asked him to squeeze in some more "persuasive" quotes, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Fortunately, the man at the opposite table seemed to finally begin to consider the rationality of this matter.

In fact, it is very easy to work on a man's mind. If it was Yanami's mother who came today, Ukyo might have to retreat behind the scenes and let "Ms. Miku" who was watching a Korean drama in the lobby on the first floor come on stage. Women understand women better and know how to grasp their inner weaknesses.

Similarly, men understand men better. It is useless to chat with them about the trivial matters that women like to hear. When talking to men, you have to talk about a sense of mission and the theory of justice.

For teenagers, this might seem a bit too childish, but for middle-aged men whose edges have been smoothed by life, it's just right. A sense of justice revolves around a man, from birth to death...

"I..." The man suddenly stood up from the sofa, his posture slightly hesitant.

"I need to go home and discuss it with my family. If this is Xingcai's own wish, then I..."

The word "respect" was left unsaid, but Ukyo could tell he was reluctant.

As the man was about to go downstairs, he suddenly turned around and said, "Are you a legitimate company? Do you have complete social security? Is Xingcai's monthly salary... enough to support herself..."

Ukyo was startled.

His team was still a makeshift one. The place with the sign of "Youjing Supernatural Agency" was on the second floor of an office building. He had rented it for a month in order to register the name of the agency, but now the place had been taken back.

so.....

how to say.

This is a legitimate company, but it doesn't have an office. However, he pays for social security.

Considering that the world was originally a huge makeshift team, Ukyo was quite confident when answering him -

"Of course we are a serious company."

“…”

...

The next morning.

Ukyo received a fax from Mori.

This is a document with the Prime Minister's personal seal, which was personally distributed to all levels of police headquarters at six o'clock this morning. The content of the document is to establish two new positions in police headquarters at all levels: [Exorcist] and [Curse Investigator], both of which are under the [Exorcism Department].

Inspector Megure was promoted one level and is now Superintendent Megure, managing both the Criminal Investigation and Exorcism departments. Mori was also promoted one level and became the head of the Toyohashi City Exorcism Department.

At the same time, I also received a text message from Mao Li...

"Brother Youjing, I'm hosting a dinner for the team members at Wukong Pavilion tonight. You can't refuse to come!"

Goku-tei is a small restaurant near Maori's house that serves Chinese food and seems to have a good rating locally.

Youjing still declined.

He doesn't like attending parties.

In addition, he sent a message to Maori.

"I'm going to the United States soon. If everything goes well, I might be back later. If not, I might be stuck on the first day of school. So if there are any more cases in the near future, I can only provide you with information over the phone."

As long as he has enough information, he doesn't have to be the only one to be a demon slayer. If Mao Li also knows the methods of killing strange creatures in ancient mythology, he can also become a demon slayer. He seems to have been the top student in the police academy's physical training class, but his swordsmanship is not very good. If he encounters local demons, it may be more difficult, because Mao Li has no innate demonic power and cannot use demon exorcism talismans.

That evening, Ukyo flew directly to the United States.

After a long absence, I met my stepfather. After a long speech about my "Norma concept", my stepfather said that with the current technology, it is impossible to build such a thing.

His idea can only be a fantasy.

But if it's just data monitoring, then he can do it. The myths and official histories of countries around the world have been recorded into the AI ​​model he is currently specializing in. At the same time, it can also monitor the network trends of countries around the world and accurately find the content he wants.

It sounded impressive, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like many private AIs could accomplish similar tasks. Thus, the "Norma Project" fell through. Ukyo wasn't discouraged. Regrets were a constant presence in life; he couldn't always achieve his goals.

But the stepfather can set up a server in the basement of his house, connect the Night Watch channel to their intranet, and use an independent private firewall. The principle is similar to the "Police APP" used between criminal police. It is more confidential and not easily monitored by a third party. The disadvantage is that the maintenance cost is very expensive. "Dad" can provide the server in full, but he has to be responsible for the subsequent maintenance costs. The amount of money he pays later depends on how large the server host group "Dad" builds for him.

After returning to Japan, Yoshiki and Chihaya asked him for kendo class membership cards at the same time. Their interest was that the Metropolitan Police Department put pressure on them, forcing them to undergo physical training.

Once you join the kendo class, you are not far from becoming a real demon slayer. The kendo hall is full of middle-aged swordsmen who want to be the "ghost hunters" of the new era. Even if they are not sent by Ukyo to study, they will be influenced imperceptibly and can't help but want to embark on the fateful "demon slayer road".

Recently, his detective agency received several resumes from people who were fourth- or fifth-dan swordsmen. They believed that they were "destined to be extraordinary" and were destined to be demon slayers. They wanted to become a member of the Night Watch and silently protect the world.

Youjing always asked them to take the test first, and then come for an interview after they obtained the detective qualification. His firm adopted an elite strategy and did not recruit ordinary people.
