"Wait, Daoman, these people..."
Seimei wanted to say something more, but before she could finish, Kagura pushed her directly towards the ring.
"Onii-sama, the first arithmetic competition will be left to you! We will cheer for you down below!" Gintoki folded his hands and laughed, "Then, just leave the rest of the competition to us!"
"Until Crystal nods, I won't recognize you as my son-in-law!" Qingming turned around and shouted angrily, "By the way, if you really want to help, no matter how you look at it, this first scene has nothing to do with the shikigami. You should be the one taking part in every game, right? How bad is your arithmetic?"
"Come on, sister." Kagura shouted to Seimei.
"Qingming-san, you must be careful when you answer seven!" Shinbaji shouted to Qingming.
"Seimei-sama, come on." Uideomaru shouted perfunctorily, "I believe that if you are the strongest onmyoji like Seimei-sama, you will be able to answer all the simple nine-nine multiplication formulas correctly."
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with being the strongest Onmyoji, right? It should be said that it is something that ordinary people know?" Seimei complained speechlessly, but then he found that Gintoki and the others behind him all The faces turned aside, including Wai Daowen and Jiang Cheng.
"Forget it, forget I didn't say it. If you continue to talk, you will feel that there is not even a normal person here..." Qingming held her forehead and sighed in despair, then raised her head. Come and walk towards the ring step by step.
Looking at Qingming walking onto the ring, Daoman outside the ring snorted disdainfully: "Huh, did you send a general in the first game? It seems that there is really no one available. Hehehehahahaha..."
"Who are you laughing at for being an idiot who can't even do the multiplication table?!" Gintoki and the others shouted angrily at the same time with their eyes rolling and veins popping out.
"No one said that!" Daoman shouted with a roll of his eyes, "You admit it to yourself, right? Admit it to yourself that you can't even recite the nine-nine multiplication formula!"
"Daoman, stop saying those useless words," Qingming said calmly, "Come up."
"The situation here is different from yours. The talented people in the Valley will not send out generals in the first game." Daoman chuckled, and then asked a soldier behind him, " Hey, isn’t the old man from the accounting office here yet?”
"In the end, don't you know how to memorize it?!" Gintoki and the others shouted with white eyes.
"Who is the old man in the accounting room?!" Xin Bajiu complained wildly.
"Old... old... old man is here..." A little old man who looked at least seventy-five years old, carrying a cane and with a trembling waist bent into a boomerang, staggered over. "I heard... I heard... the leader asked me to play in the competition... "
"The first written test will be left to you! Old man!" Doman cheered, "As the accountant in charge of the Marino family, you will never lose in a place like this! I believe in you!"
"Thanks... thanks to the leader... Hey, that... what is it... I must be... Hey, that... what is it..."
"Okay, okay! Come up quickly!" Daoman said impatiently, "Stop talking slowly! Come up quickly!"
…
On the stage, facing each other in front of two tables with white paper and pens, sat Seimei and the old accountant from the Mirino family who were almost losing their teeth.
In the middle position between the two people is a bald onmyoji from the Kirino family holding a microphone as the guest host.
"Ahem!" The host cleared his throat and spoke to everyone, "Now let me explain the rules a little bit. This death duel is a team of three magicians from both sides and their own shikigami, using each Use spells to compete, and the outcome will be determined in three games."
"Even if there is a dead person in this game, there is no legal responsibility. Also, if you abstain before being killed, you can save your life. Of course, you will be sentenced to lose. Then, let's explain the rules of the first round. "
"The first round of the competition is a written test competition between the magician and the shikigami. The purpose is to test the basic intelligence and common sense of the magician. In this new era, it is impossible for an onmyoji to only have power but turn out to be an idiot. Absolutely not, you should at least have a certain level of knowledge."
"Hey! Who are you calling an idiot?!" Daoman shouted with his eyes rolled.
"That... Daoman player, I'm not referring to you, please don't take your seat like this." The host continued, "Finally, let me introduce the rules of the first game. The two players have to answer the table within half an hour. Read prepared nine-nine punishment formulas out of order. Remember it’s only half an hour! In addition, you can ask shikigami for help! The full score is 90 points! Two points will be deducted for each wrong answer! In the end, the party with the higher score wins! Then... start!!"
"Come on! Onii-sama!" Gintoki shouted to Seimei on the stage.
"Who will kill your brother!" Qingming replied angrily, "Then, shut your mouth and keep quiet while I am doing the questions!"
"The first game was so difficult," Kagura folded her hands and shook her head, saying with a sigh, "It turned out to be Aru who messed up the order of the multiplication tables. Even the girl control Aru couldn't answer them all correctly."
"What is six or seven? Shinpachi." Gintoki asked in a low voice to Shinpachi standing aside, "Is it thirty-two or forty-eight?"
"That's not right, Yin Sang, six or seven equals forty-five." Xin Baji corrected him.
[These guys...] Jiang Cheng thought with his head full of black lines.
"Uncle, take a picture of Aru for me." Kagura took out his communicator and handed it to Jiang Cheng, "I want to send the photo to mommy to see Aru."
"Speaking of which, Kagura-chan looks a lot better wearing this outfit than usual. Is this the so-called uniform theorem?"
After smiling and praising, Jiang Cheng took the phone from Kagura, turned on the camera function and started taking pictures of Kagura.
And Kagura also cooperated by doing one pose after another.
"Hmph, has even my uncle noticed the feminine charm that I exude from the inside out, Aru?" Kagura gestured to her scissor hands and laughed twice, showing a look of pride on her face.
After listening, Jiang Cheng, who had taken the photo, handed his phone to Kagura. He was silent for a while before saying, "I'm sorry, Kagura."
"What do you mean I'm sorry?!" Kagura's hair instantly exploded, her veins popping out and her eyes white as she shouted, "Asshole!!"
"Kagura, even my uncle..." Jiang Cheng shook his head gently, sighed and then continued, "I can't see things that don't exist at all."
"That's right, it's too strong to be difficult for others, Kagura-chan." Shinpachi said at the side.
"Kagura..." Gintoki shook his head, and then cast a warm and compassionate look towards Kagura, "Just forget those things. Only by forgetting those pains can you grow up more easily."
"No! Don't forget!" Jiang Cheng retorted, and then looked at Kagura seriously, "Remember them! Face them head-on! Only by facing those pains can you grow!"
"Wash them all!!" While shouting, Kagura flew up and kicked Jiangcheng, Gintoki and Shinpachi out at the same time.
…
Half an hour later, the first game ended, and Qingming walked off the ring with her face covered.
"Well, I hope you can forget today's first game." Qingming came to Jiang Cheng and others and reminded them in a low voice.
"Forgot something?" Jiang Cheng raised an index finger and said with a squinted smile, "Is it because you tied with that old man who couldn't stand still or because they both answered three questions wrongly?"
"If you can, please forget the entire first game..."
"Onii-sama, you have worked very hard." Gintoki said to Seimei with soft eyes.
"Why should I be praised by you?!"
"Then, the first game ends here, both sides are tied!" The host or the referee said again, "Due to the tie in the first game, then the second game will be changed to a decisive game! By the way, if the second game is a tie, If the second game is also a tie, then the third game will be added as the final decider!"
"Here we go, sister." As she said that, Kagura dragged Shinpachi to the stage.
"Hey! This is the final in a sense! Why did you two go up there like that!" Seimei, who had come back to his senses, quickly turned around and shouted to Kagura and Shinpachi on the stage.
"Onii-sama, don't worry, those two guys will definitely help you win the game." Gintoki stepped forward, stood beside Seimei, and comforted in a low voice, "They are not weak guys who will lose to spells. .”
"Yes, I always thought Kagura could win." Jiang Cheng said casually, holding his hands.
"You believe it's useless! You think both of them will definitely lose, right?" Qingming pointed at Shinpachi and Kagura on the stage and continued to say, "Also, you said you can't lose." Give me a spell, that's not a shikigami at all!"
"No, it's the Shikigami, the one responsible for the chores in the House of Everything." Gintoki lied without blushing or heartbeat.
"That's just a handyman in tights, right?" Qingming retorted, and then looked at Shinpachi, who was now standing on the ring, twisting his body and darting his eyes around, and continued expressionlessly, "Look at his eyes. She's still swimming around! She's swimming butterfly! She's still blinking like she's fetching water!"
On the other side, Daoman also selected a contestant for the second game, a middle-aged man named Baoxian.
"Baoxian, you have the second fight!" Daoman shouted to Baoxian who was standing on the ring, "If you can, just deal with them in the second fight! Let them see the power of the Yili wild people!"
"Yes!" After responding, the man named Baoxian took out a folded paper figurine from his arms, pinched it with his index and middle fingers, and shouted: "Come out! Yashamaru!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper man in Baoxian's hand turned into a ray of light and flew to the center of the ring.
After the bang, smoke filled the ring.
After a few seconds, the figure of Baoxian's shikigami appeared in the gradually dissipating smoke.
He looked at the blue-skinned man in front of him, with a strong build and a ferocious face. He was at least three meters tall and full of fangs, and he was staring at his shikigami with a fierce look on his face.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xinbaji rolled his eyes and fell straight on his back.
After falling to the ground, Xin Baji's body was still tensed up due to fear. At the same time, Xin Baji's body was still trembling slightly.
"Hey, don't talk about butterfly swimming, he's just drowning in the swimming pool!" Looking at Shinpachi who kept opening and closing his mouth again and again like a fish out of water, Qingming couldn't help but complain, " Someone go find the staff, someone is drowning! Go and save him!"
But at this moment, Xin Baji finally recovered and crawled towards the edge of the ring.
"No! Gin-san! I absolutely can't do it!" Shinpachi climbed to the edge of the ring and shouted to Gintoki, who was in the audience, in a panic.
However, Gintoki was disapproving. He picked his nose and turned his face away naturally. At the same time, Seimei also turned his face away. As for Jiang Cheng, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands in his hands and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hello? Don't ignore me! Bastards!" Shinbaji shouted loudly, but then he thought of the rules announced by the host before the first game - abstain before being beaten to death. If you do, you can save your life.
Thinking of this, Xin Baji stood up without any hesitation, raised his hands and shouted to the host on the side, "I give up..."
Before Shinpachi could finish speaking, Kagura reached out and covered Shinpachi's mouth to stop him from continuing.
"Huh?" The host looked over with some confusion, "Did the team members just say something?"
"There's nothing Aru! I just forgot to feed him!" As he said that, Kagura took out a can of dog cans from somewhere and pressed it directly on Shinpachi's mouth, reminding him in a low voice, "Hey, look It’s clear, it’s Baolu, give it to me and eat it well.”
(pedigree: dog food brand.)
"Then, the next step is to explain the rules of the second round," the host continued, while a path slowly rose up and connected to the ring. "The second round of the competition is a triangular bread contest between the magician and the shikigami..."
"Is this a bread (Pan) eating competition?" Xin Baji raised his head and said in surprise, "If that's the case, there may be a chance of winning."
However, as soon as Xin Baji finished speaking, the host completed the rules that he had not finished explaining just now.
“…Pandemonion eating contest!”
Looking at the two extremely curious-looking creatures hanging above the finish line on the other side of the trail, which were the same except for their color, and with disgusting mucus dripping from their bodies, Shinbachi opened his mouth and screamed, turning around Go overboard and complain like crazy.
"Ah!! What is Pandemonion?!"
"It's the shikigami's favorite food, the fairy larva Pandemonion." Gaido Maru explained in a leisurely manner, "Well, it's almost like a sweet. It's so good~ Eat this in the competition."
"How can such disgusting things be regarded as sweets?!" Shinbaji complained crazily.
