Chapter 572

"This is only part of it; what truly makes Huangquan Miss bear pressure should be the Jianshan Family Head's own expectation — as an adopted daughter she is entrusted with high hopes by her adoptive father, and she must do well in order to prove to those gossiping relatives that her father did not choose the wrong person."

"Of course, Little Brother Broly, you are still young now, so you might not yet understand the pressure brought by the expectations of those around you, but when you grow up you will definitely understand……"

"【After all, you are the child who will later replace Huangquan Miss and ascend to this much-anticipated, equally much-pressured position!】"

"I am not small anymore; I can understand what you mean."

Broly retorted with one sentence, then fell into contemplation; he had originally thought Isayama Huangquan's pressure came from the outside, but now it seems there is also a part that comes from within.

It comes from Isayama Huangquan wanting to respond to her adoptive father's expectation, and to prove to the critical Jianshan relatives that she herself has the qualification to sit in the Jianshan Family Future Head Position.

"【Eliminate those bastards who dare to gossip?】"

This thought circled once in Broly's mind, then was abandoned by him.

It wasn't that this method was useless; on the contrary, it was too useful.

But the problem is, unless afterward he does not showdown with the girl.

Otherwise, Isayama Huangquan will sooner or later find out about this matter.

And to go kill that bunch of gossiping bastards on the grounds of relieving the other party from the pressure of her adoptive father's relatives' gossip — even Broly knows this logic is wrong.

Because, if Isayama Huangquan did not care about her adoptive father's words, then Isayama Naraku's expectation and the Jianshan relatives' gossip would fundamentally not pressure her.

But if she does care, would Isayama Huangquan feel joy because she herself killed the other party's adoptive father's relatives?

The answer to that is negative.

"Hey……"

"I am not called Hey, I am called Iinaga Noriyuki; you can call me Iinaga Big Brother."

"Iinaga Mister."

Broly had no intention of calling the other party Big Brother; following the way Isayama Huangquan had told him yesterday to address certain people of the Countermeasures Bureau, he addressed the other party accordingly.

"I want to know how to make Sister Huangquan no longer suffer pressure?"

Broly sincerely asked for guidance.

"This matter, actually it's also simple; as long as you…… cough cough, as long as you make your Sister Huangquan sufficiently uncommon, uncommon enough to make everyone else shut up and acknowledge her uncommonness, that will do.

Your sister's pressure comes from the Jianshan Family Head's expectation toward her herself, and from the Jianshan relatives' jealousy over her being able to inherit the Jianshan Family Head Position in the future.

But if she can exceed the Jianshan Family Head's expectation, leaving those jealous relatives far behind, the sufficiently uncommon her will definitely no longer be questioned.

Everyone will only think the Jianshan Family Head has a discerning eye, boldly breaking the Demon Hunter Family convention of bloodline inheritance, entrusting the family to a true genius who transcends the current era and can bring the family to new heights.

And those gossiping bastards will probably instead take pride in it……"

Iinaga Noriyuki appeared to be speaking about solving Isayama Huangquan's pressure problem, but in reality he was describing the situation that will most likely occur after Broly takes over the Jianshan Family Successor Position in the future.

This boy is different from the girl; Isayama Huangquan is merely a genius, while Broly is a monster.

Taking himself as an example, Iinaga Noriyuki, also originating from a Tsuchimiya Family branch Demon Hunter Family, had actually felt jealousy toward the girl's talent; however, after encountering Broly whose talent is even more terrifying, the boy's talent instead made him unable to give rise to even a shred of jealous emotion.

People only get jealous of existences that are also human; a true god standing on High Heaven is an object for worship — whether it is jealousy or admiration of the strong depends on whether the gap is large or not.

"But how can Sister Huangquan become even more uncommon?"

Broly pursued the question.

"There are many ways to become uncommon; it can be improvement of one's own capabilities, or it can be obtaining external help.

For example, Little Brother Broly, you can actually work hard to make yourself even more uncommon, then stand behind your sister, thereby making everyone else not dare to slight her!"

"【Huangquan Miss, you are willing to shield this child from wind and rain; then I use words to guide him, giving rise to the thought of shielding you this sister from wind and rain — that should also be no problem, right? This also counts as promoting the bond between you sisters and brothers, doesn't it?!】"

"But I am ordinary (girl's requirement); my support (my exposure) — will it really make Sister Huangquan happy?"

Broly's somewhat unconfident words left the driving Iinaga Noriyuki momentarily speechless; a child of this age who has subdued a superior spirit as a contract spirit is also called ordinary — then what is he, who can only raise a pipe fox, is he a stray dog on the roadside?

"Don't worry; what's important is the heart; even if you cannot truly help Huangquan Miss, your supportive attitude will definitely make her feel relieved.

And once a person has a spiritual pillar, no matter how thorn-strewn the road ahead is, they will definitely be able to advance bravely, hacking through thorns and brambles."

"【Just believe in your peerless talent; that is absolutely a talent that can leave people speechless; if anyone dares to speak a word of nonsense in front of you, I will personally step in and weigh the weight of the person speaking those words, to see just how heavy they are!】"

Iinaga Noriyuki guaranteed it in his heart.

"Mm."

Broly felt what he said made sense, but was still somewhat unsure what Isayama Huangquan's reaction would be, so he started speaking in the Group Chat Room to clarify the situation and ask the other wives' opinions.

And when the vehicle arrived at the entrance of a certain pastry shop in the Saitama Prefecture countryside, the Crystal Palace wives had discussed a more perfect plan.

Namely, continue maintaining the ordinary child persona the other party wants him to maintain, while secretly helping the girl improve her personal capabilities.

"Anyway, with Broly Big Brother's strength, there is definitely a way to do it."

"Right; what Qi Refining Fist, what third-rate swordsmanship — can pretend to use them by chance, accidentally demonstrate them to the other party, secretly teach them to her."

"If worst comes to worst, when sleeping together at night, secretly transmit Qi over, use your Qi to fiercely fill that girl's body, make the other party's life force flourish!"

There are quite a few methods, but the most important thing is still to make this matter appear reasonable and logical, best not to destroy the ordinary child persona he has in this world, the one the girl pins her hopes on.

At least, before establishing a sufficiently deep bond with Isayama Huangquan, he can use the ordinary child persona to cover for as long as it lasts.

"Broly, we've arrived; aren't you getting out of the car?"

Iinaga Noriyuki got out of the car, yet saw the boy in the passenger seat had no intention of getting out, leaning at the window and asking.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about some things."

Broly came back to his senses, got out of the car, looked at the pastry shop before him and asked: "Is this the place where my contract spirit, wife and daughter are?"

"Mm; back then our Countermeasures Bureau settled the account for the other party, but after all some people died; the Former Bureau Chief worried that gangsters would trouble the other party's wife and daughter, so through private connections he sent that mother-daughter pair to this countryside place in Saitama Prefecture.

The other party's wife has a good hand at making pastries; she opened this pastry shop in the countryside; although life is not very wealthy, it is enough to support herself and her daughter.

And their daughter, after graduating from a countryside high school, also helped in her mother's shop; now it counts as mother and daughter jointly running this pastry shop."

Broly summoned the Hanging Evil Spirit, then stepped inside.

"Welcome, what does the customer need?"

A girl wearing shop clerk clothes, with some baby fat on her face, looked at the boy who walked in and asked enthusiastically.

She is just an ordinary person, her spiritual sense is not high, she did not discover the hanged evil spirit's approach.

Even more, she did not hear the other party using a hoarse voice, shouting words calling her name.

"Please give me this one, this one, and also this one……"

Broly did not mind his own contracted spirit, but ordered every dish in this traditional Japanese pastry shop.

"Eh, ordering this much, little customer, can you finish eating it all?"

A somewhat elderly woman, lifting the curtain, walked out from inside, and asked.

"If you can't finish eating, you can bring it back as gifts."

Iinaga Noriyuki explained one sentence for the boy.

"Ah, you are?"

The woman looked at Iinaga Noriyuki, recognized the Countermeasures Bureau work suit on him, her mouth opening slightly wide.

"Mom, is it an acquaintance?"

At the side, the girl in employee uniform asked, and she sneakily glanced at Iinaga Noriyuki, her baby-fat face turning slightly red, it was a handsome guy with quite good temperament.

"No, it's not, Sana, you go pour tea for the customers."

The woman hurriedly denied, then directed her daughter to pour tea, while she herself used a plate to hold some traditional pastries, walked over and placed them on the dining table inside the shop, then asked in a small voice: "This customer, I don't know why you came here, what is it for?"

The woman seemed somewhat nervous.

"No need to be nervous, Mrs. Mikiko, it's not anything bad, just someone wants to see you one last time, and we are just bringing the other party over."

"Last time, ah, is it Tsuguo? Is he here?"

The woman, thinking of something, hurriedly pursued the question.

"Mm, he's here, he said, he misses you very much, he's sorry to you and your daughter."

Broly nodded, relaying the message for his own contracted spirit.

Hearing this, the woman at the side immediately covered her mouth with her hand, tears flowing down all at once.

"I've already forgiven him, I miss him too, can you let me see him?"

"Your husband's current appearance, isn't very good."

"Please!"

The woman directly did dogeza and requested.

"We don't have glasses right now that let ordinary people also see spirit bodies."

Iinaga Noriyuki's words had just finished, when he saw Broly casually strike out spiritual power.

Then, he saw the woman look toward the hanged evil spirit's direction.

"Ah, Tsuguo!"

First a surprise, then fear mixed with joy, she shouted her husband's name.

"How did you do that?"

Iinaga Noriyuki asked the boy with some surprise.

"Just let spiritual power form a thin film in front of the eyes, you can't do it?"

Broly also asked back with some surprise.

"Uh, I heard some exorcists can do it, seems to be called the Opening Eyes trick, but I haven't learned it, didn't expect you would know it."

【What are you joking about, you think everyone can be like you, so precisely controlling spiritual power to let ordinary people open their eyes?!】

Iinaga Noriyuki was somewhat embarrassed, the words he spoke, and what he thought in his heart, were completely different.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Please, let my daughter also……"

"Ah, there's a ghost!"

"This isn't a ghost, this is your dad……"

In the pastry shop, Broly and Iinaga Noriyuki were eating traditional pastries that tasted not bad.

At the side, separated by yin and yang, yet reunited today as a family, they held each other and cried painfully.

And as they reunited with family, feeling the family's sincere and abundant positive emotions, black qi also began to emerge from inside the hanged evil spirit's body, that was malice and resentment, this guy gradually transformed from an inhuman evil spirit image, into a middle-aged man's image.

"Broly-sama, thank you for letting me see my family again, from now on I, Masada Tsuguo, will surely be eternally grateful and repay your kindness."

The hanged spirit knelt on the ground, facing Broly, dong dong dong, kowtowed three times.

"How does this count?"

Broly was somewhat curious about the contracted spirit's current situation, so he asked Iinaga Noriyuki opposite him.

"Obsession fulfilled, resentment dissipated, should have become a Buddha (here meaning rebirth in the Pure Land), but is bound by the Contract Spirit Technique."

Honestly speaking, Iinaga Noriyuki was also seeing for the first time, an upper spirit that had already become Type A, completing self-purification.

【However, this should be because this child Broly's power is too strong, helping the evil spirit suppress the resentment and malice inside its body, that this matter could be realized!】

Iinaga Noriyuki speculated in his heart, then congratulated Broly: "Broly younger brother, congratulations, this Mr. Tsuguo has already shed resentment and malice, recovered human divine sense, already has the qualification to become a shikigami, I believe in the future he will become a very capable aide on your exorcist path."

"Shikigami, what is that, what use does it have?"

"Shikigami are spirit bodies possessing divine sense, they can learn techniques like humans, can help you exorcise spirits, and can also help you guard some people or things."

"Is that so?"

Iinaga Noriyuki nodded, then saw the boy snap his fingers, and said 'Release'.

"Ah, Broly, what are you doing?"

The youth watched the upper spirit beginning to transform into golden light spots and dissipate, eyes widening as he asked.

"I'm releasing the Contract Spirit Technique on him."

"I know, but, why?"

"Because I feel that compared to staying by my side and working for me, this guy seems to want to stay by his wife and daughter's side to protect them more."

Broly pointed at the dissipating Hanging Spirit and said, and the golden light spots that appeared when the other party dissipated were continuously falling on his wife and daughter, seemingly forming a layer of thin golden film.

"Ah, just for this, you released the Contract Spirit Technique on an Upper Spirit that could become a Shikigami?"

Iinaga Noriyuki really wanted to ask this, but ultimately did not speak.

Because that was the boy's Contracted Spirit, however the other party wanted to handle it, it all counted as the other party's freedom.

And the Hanging Spirit was also very startled, it actually obtained freedom just like that?

"Thank you!"

Having come back to his senses, he hurriedly bowed in thanks, and within the thought of gratitude wanting to repay the boy, a portion of golden light spots floated onto Broly's body, seemingly wanting to integrate into Broly's body, but was blocked by an intangible force, simply unable to integrate inside.

"Hm?"

Broly used Qi to wrap these golden light spots attached to his body, and gathered them onto his hand.

A pale golden crystal was condensed out after a large amount of light spots gathered.

"Gulp~"

Iinaga Noriyuki swallowed his saliva, he watched the whole process of this scene happening from the side.

The crystal in the boy's hand made him think of a thing — Killing Stone.

"What is this?"

Broly asked Iinaga Noriyuki in puzzlement, only because the Hanging Spirit had already dissipated by this time.

"I think this should be a Soul Crystal."

Iinaga Noriyuki answered, and pressed the head of his own Spirit Beast, the Pipe Fox, back down, who was crazily craning its neck to stare at the crystal in the boy's hand, looking very covetous.
