I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 Bai Shuiqiu has no particular resistance to kendo itself. After all, in modern society, the ancient swordsmanship that originally aimed at killing people has gradually evolved into kendo, a sport that focuses on physical and mental training, which is also an inevitable trend of development. Most ordinary people do not need to use Kendo for actual combat.

　　 And Bai Shuiqiu himself, just feels that there are too many things to learn, and there is no need to spend too much time in this sport that does not greatly improve the strength.

but……

　　 If it’s just a name, and occasionally accompany Keiko Kanda to play with...

　　 does not matter.

　　 Therefore, after confirming the internal regulations of the Kendo Department from the female members, Bai Shuiqiu also filled out an application form and returned it back.

　　 then declined the invitation from the female staff to stay for a while, and left the dojo of the Kendo club with Keiko Kanda

Chapter 391

　　At this point in time, the sun has already begun to set.

According to the usual habit, Bai Shuiqiu should go to the archery club to train for a while, but she just experienced a fierce battle at Lantern Mountain on the weekend. At this time, she hadn't completely adjusted her mentality, so she simply stole laziness and planned to go home early. Rest and training will be discussed tomorrow.

　　 The two were downstairs in the classroom, meeting with Hyuga Asuka who had stayed in the classroom to do their homework, and then drove back to the eastern suburbs.

　　Waiting until he was sitting in the carriage, Bai Shuiqiu thought of something with hindsight:

　　 Speaking of...

　　Kamidai Keiko's excellent ability to observe words and looks, could it be trained by "heart swordsmanship"?

In theory, these two abilities are similar. Since the opponent’s attack method can be calculated instantly in actual swordsmanship, then in daily life, based on the opponent’s actions and micro expressions, the opponent’s thoughts can be calculated. If you want to say, even the thoughts hidden in your heart...

　　 does not seem to be that difficult.

　　Thinking about it this way, this kind of "heart swordsmanship" ability is really a bit scary.

　　 "Hey, why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

　　Kamidai Keiko noticed Bai Shuiqiu's gaze, glanced back at her, and at the same time touched her face subconsciously.

"nothing……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu smiled, then looked away.

　　 Anyway...

　　Kamidai Keiko is his own, after all, it doesn't hurt that he has a better ability to observe words and colors. In a sense, this kind of character is more reassuring, at least there is no need to worry that she will suffer from the threat posed by ordinary people.

　　 As for guys like Bai Lianzong who have an affair with the supernatural plane...

　　, she needs to deal with it in person.

　　With the intervention of the countermeasure team and the Narita police, it must be not too difficult to find the traces of the White Lotus religious lord and others. It just takes a while.

　　 In the next few days, everything went on in an orderly manner.

　　Because there has been no definite news from the countermeasure team, Bai Shuiqiu gradually relaxed his tense mind and returned to his previous life.

　　 Go to school during the day, go to the archery club to train for a while after school in the afternoon, and then go home at night to practice talisman and swordsmanship for a while...

　　 I have a very fulfilling life every day.

　　 Most of the shrine matters have been handed over to Hyuga Asuka and Kanako.

After a month or two of running-in, these two part-time maidens are already familiar with the affairs of the shrine, and they can deal with the guests who come to worship by themselves. They are only needed on some special occasions, such as blessing ceremonies. Bai Shuiqiu, the witch of her position, came forward.

　　 Therefore, she also feels at ease as a hand shaker, using the time saved to constantly sharpen her level of spells.

During this period.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu also took the time to exchange "heart swordsmanship" with Keiko Kandairo several times.

　　 Most of the time, Keiko Kandaro was explaining, and Bai Shuiqiu was in the role of the audience.

Obviously, Keiko Kashiro took a lot of thought, splitting the concept of "heart swordsmanship" as detailed as possible last time, describing it in the simplest form, and combining it with Shirasuiqiu's own fighting style. , It made her feel a little bit embarrassed, feeling that if she couldn't make a small achievement in swordsmanship, she felt a little sorry for Keiko Kashiro's painstaking efforts.

　　Occasionally, the two of them would use wooden swords to make a few gestures to dismantle or something.

Of course……

　　 Considering the physical fitness of Keiko Kamishiro, these trainings are basically point-to-finish, that is, only practice tricks, not the kind of strength.

　　 And in the past few days, what happened in Lantern Mountain has gradually fermented in the outside world.

In the media and the Internet in Chiba Prefecture, some rumors about the weekend rally began to appear sporadically. Among them, the most circulated is that the large beasts that choose to eat near Lantern Mountain are infested, so this mountain area is only The police in Narita and Sakura cities arranged for manpower to block it, prohibiting the entry and exit of irrelevant personnel.

　　 It is true that Lantern Mountain is sealed off.

　　 It is said that the police in the two cities and the special service team from Chiba City mobilized many people and set up checkpoints at Lantern Mountain to closely monitor the inside and outside of Lantern Mountain.

　　 This approach has to a certain extent confirmed the rumors of "large beasts infested".

　　 However, the media have different opinions on the appearance of the rumored "beast".

　　Some said it was a tiger and bear, some said it was a giant python inhabiting a lake, and some said it was a raptor with a blue phosphorous fire burning all over its body and a body length of more than ten meters...

　　 Regarding the last statement, most netizens sneered at it.

　　 After all, reality is not about making movies. Raptor monsters that are more than ten meters long only exist in special dramas like Ultraman, and the longest birds in reality cannot exceed three meters...

Even if someone posted a video as evidence later, they did not correct this concept-the video seemed to be shot from a very far away, and there was indeed a big blue bird soaring in the night sky. But it looks very blurry, only a few seconds, the visual inspection may have been taken by someone looking in the direction of Lantern Mountain with a mobile phone.

　　 This video has been questioned by many people, and it is generally believed that it was a post-production.

　　 Among them, especially a counterfeit post published by a consultant of the Kyudo Department who did not want to be named, the number of likes was quite high.

　　 Yeah, yes...

　　 The consultant who did not want to be named is naturally the "green and phosphorous bird of prey" in the rumors.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu confirmed the news from Jiufeng Shiyuan's mouth after attending the routine training of the archery club after school the next afternoon.

　　 About this, she was a bit speechless for a while.

　　 "By the way... Teacher Shion, do you often surf the Internet?"

"Well, after all, I don’t usually have to teach many courses. Except for the Kyudo club, I don’t need to take care of it. I don’t have anything special to be busy with. In my spare time, it’s fun to match up with others online. Sometimes it’s quite interesting. ."

　　 Washimine Shion answered like this.

　　 That being said.

　　 But if it hadn't been for the Lantern Mountain incident, Bai Shuiqiu might not have known that this old woman who had lived for nearly a thousand years by her side was actually an Internet celebrity with a lot of attention.

　　 However, the explosion of the old monster has nothing to do with the Kyudo...

After Bai Shuiqiu clicked on the homepage of Jiufeng Ziyuan, he discovered that this old monster turned out to be a small well-known illustrator. He often published some personally created fanzine and short comics under his account. There are a few fanzines that have been officially published, and they are selling pretty well...

　　 Among the states she posted, she can frequently see some calling her "teacher", and she speaks in a respectful tone.

　　 And in fact...

　　 The comments made by these netizens are considered crooked.

　　 This woman is really a teacher in reality.

　　-Although working as a teacher at Narita High School is only something that happened in recent years, at least for now, Shiramine Shion is indeed a teacher.

　　 But, even Bai Shuiqiu is a little surprised, this old monster can actually paint...

　　 And, judging from some of the stickers on Jiufeng Shion's personal homepage, her painting skills seem to be quite good.

"As you know, I usually have a lot of free time. Sometimes I don’t have anything to do, so I just draw something by myself. Then just a few years ago, a fanzine club found me and wanted me to join them to draw something. accepted……

　　 I just wanted to have fun, but I was able to get so many fans' attention later. To be honest, even myself was quite surprised. "

Jiufeng Shion rubbed his chin with an indifferent expression: "The sales of the doujinshi published before seems to be pretty good, but I don’t lack money myself, so basically all the manuscript fees I earned have been donated. , It’s considered to be a sponsorship for future cartoonists. After all, many famous cartoon authors started by drawing doujinshi."

　　 This is the truth.

　　 Japan’s animation industry is quite developed, and the doujin industry derived from it also has a fairly complete system. Some well-known business writer groups started from the doujinshi society. Moreover, these societies can also gather and publish fan works created by their members and send them to fanzine stores for sale.

　　 Those few old monsters published before are probably the same thing.

　　——By the way, doujinshi is usually more expensive.

——Because this kind of works are generally published at their own expense, the production cost is higher than that of regular publishing houses, and they are often not republished. The excellent works are often of a certain collection value, and occasionally they will be sold. Out of stock...

"Oh, right."

　　 When Bai Shuiqiu was still speechless, he saw Jiufeng Ziyuan as if he was thinking of something, and suddenly moved closer:

　　 "I remember, among the fanzines I published before, there seem to be a few books of the book type. If you are interested, how many can I give you?"

　　 "……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu's mouth twitched, and then took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "As a teacher, can you please pay attention to your words? It's still at school..."

　　 When he said this, Bai Shuiqiu subconsciously looked around.

The place where she talked to Jiufeng Ziyuan was in a rest area next to the open-air archery range, and the nearest archery club student was almost ten meters away. With the hearing level of ordinary people, they should not be able to hear them. .

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu always feels a little frustrated, as if doing something bad.

　　 "So, do you want it or not?"

Jiufeng Shion still had a sly smile on his face, lowered his voice a little, and said slowly: "Those books are all out of print, and they are no longer available in the market. As far as I know, some of those fans offer good prices. For tens of thousands of yuan, I wanted to receive a copy from the people who bought this batch of works, but I haven't been able to do so."

　　 "tens of thousands..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu shook when he heard this number.

　　 then immediately shook his head, and said sternly: "You should keep this kind of thing for yourself, I won't look at that kind of messy things..."

"Yes……"

　　 Jiufeng Ziyuan pursed his lips and smiled, noncommittal.

　　 On the topic of "book", I just stop here.

　　 Then, Bai Shuiqiu coughed a few times, turned the topic off, and talked a few words about Lantern Mountain.

　　As a monster, Jiufeng Shion’s news channel is wider than her, so she knows a little bit more——

In addition to the rumors of "large beasts hurting people", the Bailianzong's rally in Lantern Mountain has also been circulated through some gossips, but the discussion on the Internet is not high, so I can't see related posts for the time being. .

　　 "Is the news about the rally spread by the Bailianzong group?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu guessed.

　　 Jiufeng Shion shrugged:

"It's not necessarily, maybe the police released it deliberately. After all, there were too many people participating in the rally that day, and not everyone could control their mouths, and the White Lotus Sect had some fish that slipped through the net. It is inevitable. It will be a matter of time before the sensitive media will notice something strange to the outside world.

　　 In this case, using "cult gatherings" as a guise may attract the attention of the media, but it can also prevent most ordinary people from going to find out because of curiosity.

　　 If I'm not wrong, the police should have completely blocked Lantern Mountain. Even if a reporter rushes over, there is probably no way to go deep into it. "

"Is such that……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

　　 She and Zhuxi Suzuki have made one or two phone calls these days, and the last one was last night.

The related matters on Lantern Mountain are currently mainly carried out by the special service team led by Nanami Fujiwara and the police in Narita and Sakura. Due to the need for confidentiality, many news are only known to a few leaders, even Suzuki Zhuxi only knows. Some approximate joints.

　　 And this girl, Jubei, and the Aikawa brothers are responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of the Bairenzong.

　　 They had already taken advantage of the previous few days to carefully survey the surroundings of Lantern Mountain and the manor where the White Lotus Sect was assembled.

　　 According to the inference of the Aikawa brothers, there is a high probability that the leader and others will not die.

　　 At least, not all died.

Because in a forest in the northwest corner of Lantern Mountain, a series of traces of man-made passing were clearly left. Footprints on the ground, broken branches, and spots of blood...All signs indicate that there have been people in the near future. Escaped Lantern Mountain from here.

　　 Judging from the depth of the footprints, the time of appearance, etc., the person who left these traces is likely to be the Bailianzong party of that day.

　　 The other party seems to have dealt with these traces briefly, but probably because of the hurried running, the handling method is very sloppy, which can't hide from the eyes of professionals.

Chapter 392

　　"Judging from these footprints, there were four people who escaped...

　　All the footprints came from the depths of Lantern Mountain, extending to a distance of about five kilometers from the mountain, and then turned into rut prints. If nothing else, the car was probably prepared by the Bailian Sect in advance, and it was parked there. As soon as the leader and others arrived, he drove away immediately..."

　　 "I, Jubei, and the Aikawa brothers traced the track marks all the way and found another stronghold of the White Lotus Sect in Narita City, but the leader and others have already changed cars and left...
