The atmosphere suddenly became dignified.
Mikako was probably writhing because of anxiety.
Even Qingliu looked a little apprehensive, looking back and forth at Kazuma and Tamamo.
Only Honami was unusually calm.
Yuzao continued with a smile: "Actually, I am the demon fox Yuzao, and I may not feel the truth when I say it, but you should understand after reading this."
After the voice fell, fox ears appeared on Tamamo's head.
Mikako: "Oh! I've seen this before! Didn't you say it was the decoration on the headband?"
"It's true, how could the decoration on the headband move like this?" When the words fell, Yuzao's ears just twitched.
Mikako yelled: "I told you that your ears can move! You really are fooling me!"
Qingliu still looked unbelievable: "That... is it true?"
"Do you want to touch it?" Yuzao asked with a smile.
Qingliu swallowed, "I think so."
So Yuzao came to her and knelt down, bowing her head slightly.
Qingliu was still hesitating whether to reach out or not, but Mikako made the move first—her timid look just now was fake.
"Oh, it's so good, it's still warm." Mikako sighed, "It's so cute! Why don't you touch it, Qingliu?"
Only then did Qingliu touch her with an expression of unwillingness to lose to Mikako.
When Qingliu's hand touched Tamamo's ear, her ear trembled, but Qingliu's hand retracted as if she had been electrocuted.
Yuzao smiled: "Don't be afraid."
Qingliu puffed up her face: "I'm not afraid."
As she spoke, she touched it vigorously, and tried to find the cartilage on the ear with her fingers.
Yuzao frowned slightly: "It's so itchy."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Qingliu withdrew her hand, "So, Yuzao, you are... a monster?"
"To be precise, it is a monster that is about to become a human, because now is the era when the light of science replaces the grace of God."
Honami crossed her arms and looked at Tamamo: "How do you say it? Does it mean that you are no different from human beings now?"
"Yes, and the difference will become smaller and smaller. In a few years, even the pair of ears on the top of the head may not be able to be released."
Kazuma and Mikako said in unison: "That's a pity."
Mikako immediately turned her head to look at Kazuma with an expression of "Sure enough, we are good brothers".
Honami continued: "Then what can you do now? Can you dismantle cars with your bare hands like Grandpa Suzuki?"
He Ma was shocked, butler Suzuki could still do such a thing
Yuzao looked serious: "I can't do it. Most of the time now, I am like an ordinary human being. I use a lot of demon power like tonight, and it will take several months to recover."
"Sure enough, you did what happened tonight. So what happened?" Honami asked.
"Welfare Technology has a new technology..." Yuzao started from the beginning, telling the whole story of tonight in detail.
Honami held her chin, with a thoughtful expression: "It is possible to artificially induce a phenomenon like a ghost through technological means. People don't know if this is science or not... After all, people suddenly disappear or something..."
Yuzao said categorically: "Of course it is science. Many scientists tried to explain various disappearances before, didn't they? For example, the disappearance in Bermuda. The theory of turbulent time and space and the theory of different spaces are widely accepted. "
"But aren't those the same things as Roswell's aliens and crop circles?"
"But it's also possible that it's all true, isn't it?"
Honami raised her forehead: "Seeing you in front of me, I can't refute it. I thought Grandpa Suzuki's force was the most surreal thing in the world. I didn't expect there to be something even more surreal.
"Okay, I'll take your word for it. We're not going to discuss whether it's real or not, the point is how we're going to do it, wellbeing tech obviously knows about these paranormal—I mean, things that science can't explain for a while, right? "
"It's not just welfare technology. The United States and the Soviet Union should have related research. The old Japanese army also used this as a life-saving straw."
Tamamo raised her finger: "By the way, the Germans also searched for the Ark of the Covenant during World War II."
"Wait a minute!" Mikako's entire expression was shining brightly, "Are you saying that Raiders of the Lost Ark is real?"
She finished humming the iconic Indiana Jones theme song.
"No, there is no relevant evidence for that." Tamamo snuffed out Mikako's fire of expectation.
"It's boring." Mikako muttered.
At this time, Qingliu raised her hand—I don’t know if it’s the aftereffect of being forced to study recently, now Qingliu will subconsciously raise her hand when she wants to speak, just like answering a teacher’s question in class.
"Well, since demon foxes exist, then, do ghosts and ghosts also exist?" Qingliu asked anxiously.
"Ah, Qingliu is afraid of ghosts? That's right, I have seen you more than once holding your urine because you dare not go to the bathroom alone at night!"
"That's right!" Qingliu was furious, "Don't spread rumors!"
Mikako let out a hahaha laugh.
Kazuma only lamented that Mikako is really adaptable. She just accepted so many things that subvert the world view, and she adapted immediately.
— No, for the Japanese, this is probably not a subversion of the world view. They already believe in such things as gods and Buddhas.
It was only at this time that Hema realized that he had received thorough materialism education in his previous life and was a hardcore atheist, so he felt his world view was subverted when he knew there were monsters.
The Japanese do not have such an "educational foundation", so it is normal for them to accept it faster.
Qingliu looked at Yuzao: "So, do ghosts exist?"
"Don't worry," Yuzao said with a smile, "Even if they exist, they are too weak to threaten humans now. Most of the ghost experiences in ghost magazines are actually humans scaring themselves."
Qingliu looked suspicious: "Are humans so powerful?"
"Yes, after all, this is the age of human beings. So Qingliu has nothing to be afraid of. If you encounter ghosts, just use your righteousness to shock them away!"
Yuzao's voice fell, and he answered in a strange manner: "But if you encounter a ghost fighter, it's better for you to be cowardly."
So the room suddenly became cold, and the four girls looked at Kazuma with helpless eyes.
He Ma: "Eh... Isn't this cold joke funny?"
"If it's funny, it won't be called a bad joke." Mikako resolutely took on the role of flattery and complained.
Honami scratched her head: "In short, the supernatural exists in this world, but it is so weak that there is no need to worry about it most of the time, and humans can explore the supernatural through technological means, right?"
"No, the definition of supernatural is incorrect. If 'nature' refers to the objective world that can be explained by scientific laws, then whether it is me or the hidden world, it is just something that science cannot explain temporarily. In the future, it will eventually be included in the scope of science.
"I am very optimistic about quantum mechanics. If there is a theory that can explain the hidden spirit in the future, it will probably be developed from quantum mechanics."
Facing Tamamo's correction, Honami shrugged: "I just call these temporarily unexplained phenomena supernatural for the sake of convenience, don't worry about the specific meaning of the word.
"Since Welfare Technology is studying these phenomena, then our Nanjo Foundation can also study them. But what excuses do we use to convince my grandfather..."
Tamamo suggested: “How about setting up an investigative department on well-being technology? Ostensibly an investigative agency focused on the expansion of well-being technology.”
"Well... First of all, I have to convince my grandfather that Fufu Technology is a potential opponent. But now Fufu Technology is indeed expanding rapidly, maybe I can give it a try. Let's take a step after this matter."
Speaking of which, Honami stretched her waist, and then yawned big: "I'm a little tired, there shouldn't be anything that needs to be decided tonight, right?"
"Probably not anymore." Hema also stretched his waist, "I'm sleepy too, take a shower and go to bed. How many bathrooms does this suite have?"
"Two, one on each floor." Honami pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor of the duplex suite, "The one upstairs is relatively small, and you can wash with Ma alone, and we use the large bathroom downstairs, so several people can go together wash."
Mikako looked at Qingliu with a smile: "That's great, otherwise Qingliu would not even be able to take a bath after hearing such terrible things."
"I'm not afraid." Qingliu snorted, "Yuzao has already said that ghosts are weak, and you can fight them with righteousness."
"Oh, Qingliu, you are so brave, be good."
While talking, Mikako touched Qingliu's head with her hand, but in the next moment, she took the head hammer from embarrassment and anger.
There was a terrible sound when Seiryu's head hit Mikako's chin, and Mikako fell backwards.
Qingliu stood up and snorted, "I'm going to take a shower."
Yuzao: "Let's go together, let me rub Xiao Qingliu's back, and Xiao Qingliu wash my hair."
"good."
Honami also said, "I'm coming too."
Mikako, who was lying on the ground holding the corpse, raised her hand: "Isn't anyone paying attention to my situation?"
He Ma grabbed her hand and pulled her up: "You are really not ordinary strong, I just heard that voice, I think you have a concussion."
"This is my advantage. It's tough and durable, just like the things produced in the Soviet Union." Mikako looked quite proud.
Hema thought to himself, it turns out that Japan's evaluation of Soviet products in this era is actually similar to that in China at the same time.
Hema remembers that when he was a child in his previous life, the boiler used in the compound was imported from the Soviet Union, and it can still operate normally after decades, providing hot water for the entire compound. Therefore, the evaluation of Soviet products in the entire compound is that they are solid and durable.
Mikako approached Kazuma: "Since they're all gone, let me and you go upstairs to wash, and I'll wipe your back for you!"
He Ma shrugged: "I don't mind..."
He made a long note, watched Honami running over, and grabbed Mikako's hand: "Come here too!"
Mikako cried: "I've been discovered! I'm wrong, miss, don't sell me to a mine in Africa."
"Our Nanjo Consortium has no business in Africa."
"Then don't buy me to Okinawa to serve the US military!"
"Our Nanjo Foundation doesn't have that kind of gray industry."
"Hema! Don't you want to wash Xiangxiang with your childhood sweetheart?"
Waving with Ma: "Good night, both of you."
"Wuuuu, I was abandoned by Kazuma..."
The noisy night came to an end in this way, and Ma stood up and went upstairs to take a bath by himself.
In the bathtub, he suddenly thought of Sasawara and Mineo who were sent down by him for judgment today.
—I decided the fate of two people again today.
Is it really okay to be so reckless
After thinking about it for a long time, Hema decided not to worry about this anymore, since the matter is over anyway.
I still think about what skills I can learn from Shangizumi Zhenggang after the game tomorrow.
**
The next day, after getting up with Ma and making some preparations, he went straight to the Yulong Banner venue with the girls.
As soon as he arrived at the venue, he ran into Kinma Kenichi and his childhood sweetheart.
"I heard that you were admitted to the hospital again yesterday?" Jin Ma Jianyi came over and put his arms around He Ma's shoulders, "Are you working with welfare technology again? Why didn't you call me!"
He Ma: "You still have a tough battle to fight today, I am thinking of you."
"Then I thank you too," Kenichi Chima scratched his head, "The negligence of the opponent in the first game today may lead to the loss of the game. After all, it is the quarter-finals."
There are much more teams in the high school group than in the university group. It took a whole day yesterday to reach the quarter-finals.
The university group finished the semi-finals yesterday, and the finals were held today purely to hold the high school and university award ceremonies together.
He Ma asked: "Is the opponent in the quarter-finals difficult to deal with?"
"It's last year's quasi-winning team, the general is in the same genre as you."
He Ma Shunkou answered, "Beichen's one-knife style?"
Nearly Ma Jianyi fell silent.
Mikako murmured softly, "If Chiyoko is here, she will probably cry."
Chiyoko has a deep affection for her own dojo and school, which is why Kazuma has always insisted that she is a natural lixinliu.
Hema coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Um, I was just joking. So the opponent's general is naturally mental? Need me to give you some advice to fight him?"
"Come on," Jin Majian shook his head and said, "I have fought with you, and I have fought side by side, you have never used Li Xinliu's moves at all, and Xindangliu and Beichen's one-sword moves are so easy to use. "
He Ma smiled, and brought up the rhetoric he used to prevaricate Chiyoko back then: "It's because I have never been able to beat Chiyoko in terms of natural flow of mind, and I learned from everyone's strengths in order to improve my technology."
"That's what you say, it's not important. Anyway, it depends on how optimistic Mr. Shangizumi Zhenggang is to you now. I think you will create your own genre in the future."
After finishing speaking, Jinma Kenichi showed an envious expression: "Oh, I really want to be personally instructed by Shangquan Zhenggang! And to go to his villa in Sakurajima! Rounding up, this is half a house disciple!"
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the organizer's announcer came from the radio: "The high school competition is about to start, please take the time to enter the field and prepare."
Kenichi Chima let go of He Ma's shoulders, and raised his hands in a gesture of high-five.
He Ma responded immediately, and the palms of the two men clapped together.
"See you on the podium, Aibo!" Kinma Kenichi said.
"Ah, I'll wait for you." He Ma responded.
