The Metropolitan Police Department's search for Kaito Kid became more frequent and urgent with each passing hour.
The reason was simple: Grandma Mitsue had been forced to stay at Mingwang Temple indefinitely.
It was said that since the Kirin Horn was stolen, the Great Demon had lost its primary seal. Mitsue needed to stay there personally to guard the Vajra Pestle and maintain the suppression barrier to avoid any further complications.
In the eyes of the powerful and informed, this was a disaster.
Damn it!
A sealed location had trapped their most reliable supernatural asset? With Mitsue stuck at the temple, she couldn't move freely to handle other incidents.
Won't the future changes be more difficult to handle?
This is inevitable.
Mizunotsuki Residence
Seiran Mizunotsuki tasted Ai Hayasaka's pink lips.
Perhaps it was because she was a soft and tender girl, or perhaps it was the "filter" of his previous life's knowledge of her character, but Seiran felt a genuine sweetness.
They parted slowly, a thin silver thread connecting them for a moment before Hayasaka quietly hooked it back into her mouth.
Is she a paid escort?
Or is she a housewife being spoiled by her man?
After a moment of tenderness, Hayasaka resumed her job competently. She went to the kitchen to cook, taking over the shift from Reiko and Miwako Sato.
Seiran didn't need to lift a finger.
The people around him moved on their own to please him.
This was the enjoyment Seiran wanted.
He opened his System Interface.
[System Points: 160,000]
There is still a long way to go before I can afford the [Chibaku Tensei / Planetary Devastation] from the Naruto World…
Hmm!?
A cold light suddenly flashed in Seiran's eyes.
Someone had broken into his "Ranch."
It wasn't a dungeon boss or a monster from a Rift. It wasn't the intersection of a Copy and Reality.
It was something else.
An Outsider.
Seiran initially wanted to use his System Points to quietly wipe out the intruder, ensuring that whatever faction sent them couldn't trace it back to him.
But after using the System to scan the intruder's signature, Seiran showed a satisfied smile instead.
It's another good piece of livestock…
Since it was potential "livestock" for his ranch, it wasn't good to use rough means immediately.
However, Seiran decided that the most important thing right now was maintaining this peaceful "Daily Life" world.
As for the intruder…
Let's give them some appetizers first.
Seiran expanded his field of vision. The whole of Tokyo, and even the surrounding prefectures, were within his sight.
This is the first time.
Whether there will be a second or third time in the future, I cannot guarantee.
It is right to prepare for a rainy day.
This time, they came to my Ranch.
There might be a predator who wants to use my world as their pasture next time.
During this period, Seiran had cast many curses and manifestations. But just pretending wasn't enough.
He needed a Copy (Dungeon) suitable for Japan to strengthen the ambient mana.
[Option: Onmyoji World]
High ceiling for power, low floor for entry.
Many extraordinary systems (Shikigami, Yokai).
[Unlock Cost: 500,000 Points]
"...…"
Well.
After all, it is a world that contains entities capable of destroying dimensions.
This price is damn reasonable…
I should first collect the points from the Naruto/Shinobi interactions.
Chiba Prefecture: Sobu High School
Yukino Yukinoshita closed her book.
She had a lot of feelings about the utopia described in the text.
Why can't people be as simple as in books?
The powerful do not oppress others, and the humble do not grovel.
In Yukino's eyes, this was a fantasy.
Being in the Service Club alone, she had time to think.
Since the "Sacrifice" of her mother Reiko and her sister Haruno, Yukino's status in society had vaguely risen. She was now a veritable "High-Ranking Flower" at Sobu High.
It didn't take much. Hayato Hayama's terrified respect towards her was enough to make the other students imagine she had powerful backing.
During this time, the Yukinoshita family—relying on the support of "Someone Behind Them"—had shown a lot of influence in Tokyo, purchasing real estate and expanding.
It proved that the rural landlords of Chiba were not weak.
But Yukino was not grateful for this.
Instead, she had an unspeakable rejection of it.
She believed in self-reliance.
She refused to "stick up her butt" like Reiko and Haruno just to please a man for power.
After School
Yukino made an appointment with Miko Yotsuya.
During this period, thanks to the Black Crow given by Seiran (which Yukino accepted only to protect others), Miko Yotsuya would not encounter strange spirits as long as she stayed near Yukino.
However, this only made Yukino more embarrassed.
Because I'm not relying on myself. I'm relying on the charity of the man who bought my mother and sister.
But today was a little special.
Yukino found that Miko Yotsuya and her friend Hana Yurikawa were being entangled by strangers.
It wasn't sexual harassment. The strangers were women.
Two of them had katanas at their waists.
The third one was smiling. She wore a pale yellow chrysanthemum in her hair and seemed to be the leader.
"Yotsuya-san, please forgive me. I am not a bad person. I just want to ask you for a favor. Please rest assured that I will give you enough rewards later."
Ask Miko for help?
Knowing that Miko attracted "bad things," Yukino immediately stepped forward. She stared at the women with vigilance.
This made Miko and Hana sigh in relief, quickly hiding behind Yukino.
Yukino-san is not easy to mess with.
Even the teachers give way to her.
The woman with the chrysanthemum just smiled gently.
"You misunderstood. I just asked your friend for a favor. My name is Michiko Nishikiori."
At the same time, the two swordswomen behind her spoke. They had a different temperament—sharp, dangerous, like drawn blades.
"Yukihime Yagyu."
"Koyuki Yagyu."
The twin girls stated their names. They were reserved, looking around as if they were not used to the modern environment.
Michiko continued:
"In fact, I heard from your friend that she can see things that ordinary people cannot see."
"I happen to be a professional in this field. You can think of me as a Shrine Maiden, or an Onmyoji."
Shrine Maiden?
Onmyoji!?
Yukino, who was still on guard, was stunned.
Supernatural…
How is it possible?
Aren't Extraordinary People supposed to be rare?
I thought only that bastard Mizunotsuki and that grandmother were the only ones?
Yukino seemed very confused.
But she swallowed her offensive words.
Because the weight of the term "Extraordinary" was very heavy in her heart now.
She looked at the swordswomen.
Are they… real?
