Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: I Definitely Need to Build a Good Relationship with Miyauchi Hikage!

Faced with the sudden gesture of goodwill from these two monks and the two Goshuin books with a spiritual aura.

Miyauchi Hikage did not accept the two booklets immediately, and Shinomiya Kaguya also stood in front of Miyauchi Hikage immediately.

Although she wasn't very clear about the situation, Shinomiya Kaguya could also tell that these two monks were here to poach her talent.

After entering Jujutsu High, although her own strength wasn't great, relying on the financial resources of the Shinomiya family, she was relatively clear about the current situation of the world.

Buddhism, as a supernatural force that could rival Shinto in Japan, also had great prestige in the outer world.

Even because Japanese Buddhism was in charge of cemeteries and funerals, almost everyone in Japan would inevitably come into contact with monks in their lives, and Shinto might not necessarily be higher than Japanese Buddhism in terms of prestige.

If Miyauchi Hikage's relationship with her was close enough, she wouldn't have to care too much about whether Miyauchi Hikage would join the so-called "Kannon Temple."

But now she and Miyauchi Hikage had only known each other for two days. Apart from the breathing styles and the relationship between Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko, she and Miyauchi Hikage hadn't had much communication in other aspects.

She wasn't in a hurry originally. After all, Miyauchi Hikage had promised her that he would visit Jujutsu High first when he returned to Tokyo with her, and she would have plenty of opportunities to meet Miyauchi Hikage in Tokyo in the future.

If Miyauchi Hikage became a monk at the Kannon Temple in Chichibu now, it would be troublesome for her to build a good relationship with him in the future.

Therefore, hearing Miyauchi Hikage bring up the name of Jujutsu High, and those two monks were still unwilling to back down, Shinomiya Kaguya knew that she, a student of Jujutsu High, had to step up and say something.

"Hikage-kun has already promised me to become a student of Jujutsu High. Unfortunately, the two masters are a step late."

Hearing Shinomiya Kaguya's words, Master Seishin was stunned for a moment, and then sized up Shinomiya Kaguya's appearance.

The temples in Chichibu didn't have deep connections with Tokyo, and they didn't know about the daughter of the Shinomiya family joining Tokyo Jujutsu High, so they only regarded Shinomiya Kaguya as a student of Jujutsu High this year.

It's just... hasn't Tokyo Jujutsu High produced another special-grade jujutsu sorcerer in recent years? Why does the source of students look worse than before?

This girl's blood energy is indeed quite abundant. If she practices Buddhism, she has a chance to reach Grade 1 or Grade 2.

It's just that she is already a student of Jujutsu High, and will inevitably become a jujutsu sorcerer in the future.

But seeing that she only has a faint aura of cursed energy on her, it seems she has no talent, and she will probably only be able to follow the path of taijutsu in the future.

What a waste of talent.

However, he didn't say these words out loud. After all, Shinomiya Kaguya's talent could only be said to be acceptable, not to the point where they needed to recruit her.

Instead, he smiled and explained the function of this Goshuin book to Miyauchi Hikage.

"This is engraved with the techniques of the 34 Kannon Temples of Chichibu. As long as the benefactor Miyauchi gets the seals of all the temples on it, he can obtain a 'Kannon Seal' technique from it."

"It was because Sojo Enjo valued the fate between benefactor Miyauchi, benefactor Koshigaya, and my Kannon Temple that he voluntarily gave it. It doesn't matter even if benefactor Miyauchi is unwilling to join the Kannon Temple."

Of course, Master Seishin still hid something.

In fact, looking at this booklet, Miyauchi Hikage already had a rough guess in his heart.

After all, although he was an ordinary person in his previous life, he had read Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

The Shaolin 72 Arts required Buddhism to resolve the hostility within them. Perhaps this technique was very powerful, but required practicing Buddhism to improve?

And his guess was basically correct.

Although this Kannon Seal technique would not affect a person's mind, and belonged to the kind of technique that was easy to learn but difficult to master and had a high upper limit, after Miyauchi Hikage practiced this technique, as long as he wanted to improve the power of this technique, he would need to study the corresponding Buddhist scriptures to improve it.

In the process of collecting the thirty-four seals, those temples would also gradually inform Miyauchi Hikage of the Buddhist scriptures needed to practice the Kannon Seal.

Simply put, this Goshuin book was a favor, and if Miyauchi Hikage learned this technique, he would naturally become close to Buddhism.

Even if he didn't want to learn it and gave this thing away, this Goshuin book also had a record. When the time came, if someone without talent came with this Goshuin book, as long as they did a little trick when stamping, and finally gave them an incomplete Kannon Seal, it would not cause any loss to their Kannon Temple.

After handing the two Goshuin books to Miyauchi Hikage and Koshigaya Suguru, Master Seishin also smiled and told Miyauchi Hikage that after Miyauchi Renge turned ten, if she had not yet awakened to the supernatural, he could really take her to experience the empowerment ceremony of the Kannon Temple.

Then the two monks left Asahigaoka without any hesitation. If Miyauchi Hikage hadn't been stared at by that middle-aged monk until his back went numb, he would really believe that these two monks were so free and easy.

Looking at the Goshuin book with a spiritual aura in his hand, Miyauchi Hikage activated the Eye of Destiny in front of Shinomiya Kaguya and Koshigaya Suguru.

Looking at the thread faintly connecting this Goshuin book to Chichibu, Miyauchi Hikage thought for a while, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Put this thing away. If you want to go, you can try it during the summer vacation. As long as you pay attention, there shouldn't be too many problems," he said to Koshigaya Suguru.

The Kannon Temple just wanted him to go there to get stamps and check in anyway.

Just by visiting 34 temples, one could get an admission ticket to step into the supernatural. For an ordinary person, this was indeed the biggest opportunity in this life.

Koshigaya Suguru's personality was very mature, even more disciplined than him. After confirming that there was indeed no power on this Goshuin book that would affect others' minds, he didn't have to worry about Koshigaya Suguru choosing to become a monk.

The biggest possibility was that after obtaining the Kannon Seal technique, Koshigaya Suguru would try to reverse-engineer the root of that technique. Even if that technique really needed Buddhism to resolve hostility or something, Koshigaya Suguru could deal with these things rationally.

Don't be fooled by Miyauchi Hikage describing himself as an imaginative genius and Koshigaya Suguru as a genius with maxed-out practical ability in the diary.

But in fact, his practical ability was not bad, and Koshigaya Suguru also had a rich imagination. It was just that Miyauchi Hikage was more extroverted, and Koshigaya Suguru was more introverted.

Koshigaya Suguru adjusted his glasses, then carefully put away the Goshuin book.

In comparison, Miyauchi Hikage's handling method was much simpler. He directly handed the Goshuin book to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Thank you, Miss Kaguya, for covering for me just now. And the things from yesterday also provided me with a lot of help. I'm not interested in that Kannon Seal. I'll give this Goshuin book to you as a gift, borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. I think this should be of some use to you."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Miyauchi Hikage in surprise.

Kannon's fame in Japan was not small. A technique directly named Kannon Seal could not be some cheap goods no matter how you thought about it.

This was obviously the sincerity shown by the Kannon Temple to win over Miyauchi Hikage. Even if she could feel that there was a lot of water in this "sincerity," and those two monks obviously had other intentions for Miyauchi Hikage.

But in any case, this was a unique technique. Did Miyauchi Hikage really not care at all?

Seemingly seeing Shinomiya Kaguya's thoughts, Miyauchi Hikage smiled at her. "I don't lack these things at the moment. Studying my own ability already takes a lot of time, and the moves I got yesterday also need time to study. Before I figure out my own ability, I have no idea of trying more things."

Looking at Miyauchi Hikage's beautiful eyes whose light was gradually fading, Shinomiya Kaguya's heart fluttered slightly.

Did he see through my thoughts again?

No, his eyes were already glowing when he was looking at the two Goshuin books earlier.

But what was he looking at with those eyes at that time?

Shinomiya Kaguya still didn't know exactly what ability Miyauchi Hikage's eyes had.

But it seemed that his ability was even more complex than she had imagined.

Not only on people, but it seemed to work on these objects as well.

Is this why he was evaluated by Gojo Satoru-sensei as a genius comparable to him?

To be honest, it's really enviable.

After all, the way those two monks looked at her was completely different from the way they looked at Miyauchi Hikage.

These thoughts quickly turned in Shinomiya Kaguya's mind, but her body had already taken the Goshuin book from Miyauchi Hikage faster than her brain could process, and she expressed her gratitude to him.

After all, she was currently in a "honeymoon period" with these supernatural powers. Any supernatural power placed in front of her was an object she wanted to figure out.

This Kannon Seal technique might also change her awkward situation in Jujutsu High now—don't be fooled by the fact that there were currently only three students in this year's Jujutsu High, counting her and Yotsuya Miko.

But she was currently at the bottom of this class in all aspects.

In terms of blood energy, she was slightly better than Yotsuya Miko, and similar in terms of spiritual power, but in terms of cursed energy, Yotsuya Miko inexplicably showed quite good talent.

Even without an innate technique, the cursed energy in Yotsuya Miko's body had reached the standard of a Grade 4 jujutsu sorcerer, and it was still in a period of rapid growth.

And Yotsuya Miko had an extra pair of eyes that could clearly see all strange things compared to her. Currently, Jujutsu High hadn't even figured out if Yotsuya Miko's eyes had any other abilities.

How could the naturally competitive Shinomiya Kaguya tolerate being at the bottom after coming to a new environment? But talent was indeed hard to say. If Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to surpass others, she would inevitably have to put in more effort.

Therefore, the power of the Kannon Seal was exactly what she needed now, and she naturally wouldn't miss it.

Only after her brain figured it out did she blush slightly and thank Miyauchi Hikage again.

At the same time, she was secretly happy in her heart.

Sure enough, it was right to create a bond with a genius like Miyauchi Hikage. Having known him for only two days, just because of the breathing method, he turned around and gave these things to her.

If the relationship could go further, how would he treat her?

Thinking that she was doing this behind the backs of Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko, the two girls who had established bonds with Miyauchi Hikage in advance, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of "immorality."

She quickly shook her head, throwing this inexplicable thought out of her mind, and then spoke again to remind Miyauchi Hikage, "Also, Hikage-kun, you don't need to add the word 'Miss' after my name anymore. Just call me Kaguya. After all, we are likely to become comrades fighting together in the future."

Miyauchi Hikage had always directly used the names "Mashiro" and "Menma." As for her, it took a day to change from Miss Shinomiya to Miss Kaguya, but she still felt that this progress was a bit too slow, so she accelerated the progress herself.

Miyauchi Hikage was "stunned" for a moment, and then smiled and nodded at Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Then you can also remove the 'kun' after Hikage."

Very good. After addressing each other by given names, the relationship between me and Miyauchi Hikage should have reached the passing line of 60 points, right?

While Shinomiya Kaguya felt a little uplifted in her heart, her eyes jumped again as she looked at the blonde girl walking out of the studio.

Interrupted by those two monks who kindly sent benefits, she almost forgot about Tohru.

Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya deliberately tugged at Miyauchi Hikage's sleeve again and asked him about Tohru's identity.

"By the way, Hikage, that pretty girl shouldn't be from your Asahigaoka, right? But I seemed to have seen her when I came yesterday."

Tohru should have come out because she sensed his aura in the studio.

Miyauchi Hikage thought so. Facing the slightly suspicious meaning in Tohru's eyes, he coughed lightly, and then frankly introduced Tohru's origin to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"This is Miss Tohru, a tourist from abroad. She saw our Asahigaoka videos on the internet, so she made a special trip from abroad to visit. And she seems to have the idea of filming online videos, so she has been learning from the experience here in Asahigaoka for the past two days."

Miyauchi Hikage, who clearly knew Shinomiya Kaguya's intention, winked at Tohru with his back to Shinomiya Kaguya, asking her to cooperate a little.

Tohru originally disdained Miyauchi Hikage for wandering around outside with other girls all day, but seeing Miyauchi Hikage's signal, she still walked over and greeted him.
