After explaining to Kendo how terrible the rumors on the Internet were, Kendo, who finally understood, felt a little embarrassed. As he apologized, he prepared to tear up all the notes he had taken.

"Kendo … you really like medicine?" Kanai looked at the entries in the notes thoughtfully.

"If you know a little about medicine, you'll be able to protect the Admiral in times of crisis."

Kendo said casually as he organized the notes. "The Admiral doesn't even have a healing-type Spirit-branded Retainer by her side. As the Admiral's personal sword, I should have thought of this."

Kanai paused for a moment, and her expression softened.

"… Thank you for your hard work, Kendo."

"The Admiral is the one who's having a hard time. Working day and night must be very tiring, right?"

Kendo didn't realize until he came to the modern world that a witch's job was so complicated and unpleasant. He couldn't help but feel sorry for his current master.

Looking at Kanai who hadn't had a good rest for several nights, Kendo didn't know what to feel.

In the past, his master only needed to sit in her tent to plan the battle and give orders, and there would be retainers to carry out her orders.

The current Kanai didn't have anything, and the powerful Spirit-branded Retainers were childish and needed the Admiral to take care of them …

After following Kanna for a week and training all these Spirit-branded Retainers one by one, Medicine Researcher instantly felt like he was exasperated at the fact that they weren't living up to his expectations. 'This batch of retainers (Spirit-branded Retainers) is the worst batch I've ever trained!'

It was also because the Admiral's temper was too good. If it was Oda Nobunaga from the Warring States period?

Wang Po Tianliang at any moment.

"… Has the Admiral considered continuing to summon new Spirit-branded Retainers?" At this moment, Kendo's mood was strangely in sync with Kagome's. Were there any reliable healing-type Spirit-branded Retainers!?

Even if they didn't need healers, a reliable one would be fine!

"A new Shikigami …" Summoning a new Shikigami usually consumes a lot of the master's mind and Reiki. Kagome usually agrees to let her summon a new Shikigami only after seeing that her body has almost recovered and her Reiki is abundant. "Let's ask Auntie when we go to the Sengoku Kingdom next week."

Kanai wanted to stand on her tiptoes to rub Kendo's head. "Don't worry, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Kendo, you don't have to think so much."

The little girl's gentle eyes gazed at Kendo Shiro. "If Kendo really likes medicine, then take your time to learn it. But … if you're learning it for me, then there's no need for that."

"General …" Yao Yan was extremely helpless. For the first time, he tilted his head to avoid the little girl's head-patting. His purple eyes stared at his master with incomparable seriousness. "I'm not the child you think I am." … I'm an adult man who's hundreds of years old.

"Yes, yes, yes." Kanai didn't seem to care at all. She just nodded casually. "Since you're not a child anymore, then don't listen to the rumors spreading on the Internet."

Kendo Shiro was speechless.

So angry!

Who the hell wants to spread such things!?

Since Ibaraki was still engrossed in his game, Kanai couldn't really change his route (the consequences of doing so would be unimaginable). Thinking about it, it didn't matter if a big monster like him stayed up all night. She only reminded Ibaraki not to smash the computer and not to cause trouble at his teammate's house. Then, she took Kendo to the coffee shop where she and Atobe had agreed to meet.

Atobe had been incredibly busy for the past two days. His voice was hoarse, and his face was visibly haggard. To Kanna's consternation, the young master even used some concealer to cover up the circles under his eyes and applied some lip balm on his lips to maintain his perfect image. This was quite the display of OCD.

Seeing how Atobe had suffered because of the curse of the Ice Emperor and the incident with Aoi Okubo, Kanai didn't say much. She only said that she had helped Atobe make a bracelet to conceal his spiritual power and a new amulet, and told him to be careful.

"Okay, I got it."

Atobe nodded. Seeing how the little girl was worried but didn't dare to ask, he couldn't help but laugh. "… I'm not that weak, don't worry."

"Starting from this weekend, I still have to take the tennis team to Light Well Swamp for training. This week, the Ice Emperor's plan hasn't been implemented yet, so I have to keep an eye on those guys.

What has happened can't be changed. At the very least, I have to make sure that similar things never happen again.

This is my duty and responsibility. "

Atobe's expression was indifferent. He looked at Kanai, who was drinking milk from a cup with both hands, and suddenly asked, "Hyuga, do you want to go to Light Well Swamp with me?"

"…!"

A murderous look flashed in Kendo's eyes. He stared vigilantly at Atobe, who he had instantly labeled as a big-tailed wolf.

Kanai: "… Huh?"

"Ahem …" Atobe scolded his bastard teammate in his mind. He guiltily explained, "Because something happened to the Ice Emperor recently … I owe you a favor. If it's convenient for you, you can come with me to Light Well Swamp."

In fact, it was Ninja Yushi who happened to find out the whole story from Atobe's butler. He also found out that a junior in the middle division of the Youth Academy was the famous Hyuga Miko. He told the People From Mukugaku about it with a playful attitude … and then the entire tennis team found out.

When Atobe finally settled the matter with the fan club and returned to the tennis team for training, he found that everyone in the tennis team was waiting for him with starry eyes … to bring the Miko girl over.

"… It's already been resolved. Why would Hyuga come over?"

Atobe had a headache after understanding the thoughts of the people in the tennis team. He couldn't help but glare at Ninja Yushi.

"Go back to training for me!"

"I won't, I won't, I won't —" Akutagawa Tsuro almost hugged Atobe's leg and rolled around. "I want to see the Miko girl!

I want the Miko girl to give me her autograph!

It's rare to have a real live (?)

The Miko girl is not a street fortune teller. I want to see the Miko girl! "

"That's right, Atobe." People From Mukugaku were full of enthusiasm. "We just want to thank the Miko girl with our own eyes!

The Miko girl is super awesome! "

"And she's the Miko girl of the Sunset Shrine."

Rijiro, who was still in the middle division, also came over with great interest. "The Sunset Shrine is the legendary guardian shrine of the Jade of the Four Souls."

"Moreover, didn't she investigate the serial disappearance of girls in Tokyo a while ago?" Ninja Yushi added with a smile.

His words were like a bomb that made the main members of the tennis team explode. They swarmed over to ask Ninja Yushi.

"Is it the case of Nana Nishimura?"

"Wasn't it said that the heroic young man, Ryota Hwang Se, accidentally discovered it?"

"That woman is super scary!

The Miko girl is so young, but she has to face such a terrifying case? "

"How did she catch her?

Did she use lightning, wind, and fire charms to take down Nana Nishimura?! "

"… Ninja Yushi!" Atobe glared at Ninja Yushi with a dark expression. Where did this guy get so much information?

"Don't glare at me, Atobe."

Ninja Yushi made a gesture of begging for mercy. "My old man is very familiar with the Miko girl's elders. Her elders are the heads of the famous families of Wards Masters, the Yukimura family and the Kumura family."

"Previously, when she caught Nana Nishimura and brought her to justice, she was injured and treated in my family's hospital." Ninja Yushi patiently explained what he knew about how Kanna Hyuga solved Nana Nishimura's case. In the end, he added, "… I also only found out that my old man is involved in these Shinto matters in the past two days.

It is said that the Miko girl is also quite famous in the Shinto community. "

After listening to the entire story, the silent main members couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and envy in their hearts.

Akutagawa Tsuro opened his mouth and couldn't help but exclaim, "Super. Powerful. Ah!"

"So Nana Nishimura can actually control something as terrifying as a Corpse Ghost?"

"… Ryota Hwang Se is really =

= No wonder he said on Twitter that he can't be called a hero. "

"I still feel a little unhappy. That Miko girl clearly sacrificed so much for this and even got injured, but in the end, no one found her …"

"Atobe, Atobe, invite Miko girl over to play, okay?" People From Mukugaku's eyes were shining brightly as he kept pleading with his minister.

Even Rijiro was in high spirits. "I really want to ask that person for advice on the Night of a Hundred Demons …"

"Atobe!"

"Atobe, Atobe ~"

"Jing Wu, Jing Wu ~"

"— — Enough!

Don't act spoiled! "

Atobe, who couldn't stand being pestered by his bastard teammates and had goosebumps all over his body, facepalmed and agreed. "Let's make it clear first. I'm only responsible for asking if she is willing to meet with you. If Hyuga is unwilling, I won't force her."

"Okay, okay." Ci Lang naively agreed sweetly. "I'm so cute, Miko girl will definitely say yes!"

… He said it so confidently, but the reality was cruel.

In the coffee shop, after hearing Atobe's invitation, Kanai shook her head.

"— — I can't."

Kanai put down her glass of milk apologetically. "Because of my physique … I don't want to go to Karuizawa with Atobe senpai's teammates."

Yao Yan, who was standing at the side, suddenly relaxed.

Seeing that Atobe didn't seem to understand, Kanai quickly added, "The Reiki in my body has some kind of homogeneity … It's easy for others to awaken their Reiki unconsciously. Usually … I don't come into contact with ordinary people."

Thinking of Midori Shintaro, Kanai's eyes dimmed, and her tone became gloomy.

"Homogeneity?"

Atobe didn't expect Kanai to reject him because of this reason. He was a little curious. "In other words, Hyuga, you don't usually go out?"

"It's okay to go out. I also go to the supermarket to buy things, go to the bookstore, and so on," Kanai answered honestly. "But if there are too many people, I won't go."

"You don't know how to travel?"

"I don't have time."

The little girl counted with her fingers. "After all, I have to learn Yin-Yang and Boundary Techniques, have classes, have exams, and kill monsters."

"…" Atobe stroked his tear mole with a complicated expression. "Hyuga, when did you become like this?"

"I started to realize that my Reiki is special when I was eleven," Kanai answered after thinking for a while. "Although I had to learn a lot when I was young, I still had the opportunity to go to the amusement park and so on … But after I grew up, I never went."

She thought Atobe was worried about himself, so she quickly comforted him. "But senior's Reiki is fine. Senior's Reiki seems to be in the aspect of eyesight … If you have an amulet and a bracelet that isolates Reiki, things like competitions, participating in training, and getting a girlfriend will be no problem."

"Didn't I say that I … Well, forget it, it's getting late. I'll send you back." Atobe muttered a few words and called the waiter over to pay the bill.

After refusing the little girl's request to go dutch, Atobe ordered the driver to drive the little girl and her Fu Mourning God all the way to the entrance of the Sunset Shrine. He forcefully stuffed a small gift box into the little girl's hands.

"If you refuse, I'll throw this thing away." Atobe threw such an arrogant sentence at Kanai before he left in the car.

"… I haven't said anything yet??"

The little girl was very convinced by the domineering personality of this senior. She opened the small gift box in front of Kendo.

A delicate and chic platinum necklace inlaid with beautiful ice blue gems lay quietly in the gift box.

[This is a gift in return for the bracelet.

— Keigo Atobe.]

The beautiful Gothic English card impressively had Atobe's name on it. It was crisp and extremely elegant.

Unfortunately, the little girl who received the gift didn't feel happy at all. She only felt confused and uneasy.

"— Let's send it back."

Kanai, who felt guilty, decided. "It looks very expensive, and the bracelet isn't worth much …"

Kendo Shiro, who followed Kanai the whole time, nodded in agreement with Kanai's decision.

"It's indeed too expensive, it's better to send it back."

In the past, when he was by Oda Nobunaga's side, he had seen chests and chests of gold, silver, money, and luxurious jewelry presented by his ministers. A small sapphire was nothing in his eyes, but the medicine researcher, Teng Shiro, did not change his expression and spoke nonsense against his conscience.

— That purple-haired Atobe guy doesn't have good intentions!

Don't let him find an excuse to get close to the Admiral!

Kendo, who secretly planned to isolate the pervert with bad intentions, put on a very serious look and began to educate the little girl about the dangers of puppy love.

— Bah!

Noble girls in the Warring States Period were married at the age of 14 or 15!

Facing Kendo, who constantly nagged at her, Kanai's heart collapsed.

Wait, why is it related to puppy love!

Atobe senior clearly said that this is a gift in return!

Isn't it rude to imagine that Atobe senior likes me!

Think about Senior Atobe's feelings!!

Since Atobe had already said that she would throw it away if she didn't want it, Kanai could only call Tezuka and ask, "Senior Atobe gave me a sapphire necklace to express his gratitude. Senior Tezuka, can you return it for me or help me persuade Senior Atobe?"

Tezuka was speechless.

He said to Kanai worriedly, "… Puppy love is not good."

Hearing this, Kanna was rendered speechless in her heart. "…"

— — Just how bad is Senior Atobe's reputation?!

I'm starting to pity him!!

After explaining things to Tezuka with great difficulty, Kanai brought the gift box and her apology card to school early the next morning. She was going to go to the Ice Emperor with Tezuka after school to return the necklace to Atobe.

Unexpectedly, after the first class, she received a call from Atobe. "I've already applied for leave for you. Come downstairs."

Kanai: "… What?"

She couldn't help but look at the school gate. Sure enough, she saw Atobe's limousine parked at the school gate.

She wanted to say something, but Atobe had already hung up.

"…" Fine, I'll endure it for the sake of Senior.

Kanna took a deep breath and said something to Momosei. She then grabbed her backpack and present and silently ran towards the school gate from the back door of her class.

Thankfully, it was still between classes, and it was the first class in the morning. Basically, no one noticed the flashy Rolls-Royce parked at the school gate, or else Kanna would not have jumped into Atobe's car with so many pairs of eyes on her.

After explaining the situation to the guard, Kanna ran to Atobe's car. Gasping for air, she pulled out the gift box from her bag. "Senior, I've given it some thought and feel like I can't accept it. This is too expensive."

"What do you want to drink?"

Atobe, who seemed to know what Kanai wanted to say, interrupted her. He asked the driver to start driving and poured a glass of juice for her.

"… Ah, thank you."

She had no choice but to take the juice and sit in the car that was slowly accelerating. The girl's face was full of confusion. "Senior, this …?" Did something urgent happen again?

"You should take a break."

Atobe seemed to want to explain something, but he didn't say anything. He just said abruptly, "Today's weather is very good. The wisteria flowers have bloomed."

"… Ah?"

After the rainstorm, it was sunny for a few days.

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles. Even the wind that caressed their cheeks became much gentler.

The green leaves and red flowers quietly bloomed, and the bright colors spread out along the way, warm and tender.

When Kanai went to school in the morning, the magnolia tree by the shrine also bloomed. Large white petals bloomed on the branches, and the fragrance was strong and sweet.

After May, the weather slowly became warmer. It was just right now. The sun was gentle, and the wind was gentle.

Atobe's car drove for a long time. When they arrived at their destination, Atobe opened the door and got out first. He reached out his hand to Kanai.

Kanai wasn't used to it, and she wasn't very good at rejecting people. She had to grab Atobe's hand and jump out of the car. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she saw the destination in front of her.

After jumping out of the car, she and Atobe stood in front of the huge and majestic gate of Disneyland.

The amusement park, which was usually crowded and had a two-hour queue to ride the rides, was empty at the moment. However, all the rides seemed to be in operation. The wisteria flowers bloomed outside the gate. Atobe's butler and a man in a suit were standing on the side with a smile on their faces.

When they saw Atobe and Kanai coming over, they hurried over.

The man in the suit quickly stepped forward and bowed to Atobe. "At Atobe-sama's request, all the tourists in the entire amusement park have received compensation. All of them have been persuaded to leave. For the next day, Atobe-sama can play as he pleases. He won't have to worry about the queue anymore."

Atobe dismissed the middle-aged man with a few words. He turned his head and looked at the silly girl who unconsciously opened her mouth and widened her eyes. He touched his nose a little shyly and turned his head away.

"… Didn't you say that you wanted to go to the amusement park?"

"I've already booked the whole Disneyland. It's just the two of us today. You don't have to worry about the problem of spiritual power."

Atobe patted Kanai's back gently. "Haven't you come back to your senses yet?

You're really surprised. "

"That, Atobe senpai!

— — "

"Ah, well, you don't have to thank me." Keigo Atobe grabbed the dazed girl's collar and walked into Disneyland.
