Chapter 575: The Girl Preparing to Bring Her Younger Sister Home, Preparing to Achieve Paid Fulfillment

"Sister Huangquan, I was just about to go out to eat."

"It's actually me disturbing your meal."

"That's not the case."

"Do you have enough money, did you eat properly at noon, Sister was too busy at noon and didn't call to ask..."

Isayama Huangquan rambled on, like a mother worried about her young son left at home.

"Money's enough, I ate at noon, Iinaga-sensei took me to Saitama Prefecture this morning, resolved the Contract Spirit's request, and I ate quite a lot of pastries there with him."

Broly replied; he wasn't hungry at noon anyway.

"Eh, that... C-rank Contract Spirit's price, has it been settled already?"

Isayama Huangquan was somewhat surprised.

Broly realized the girl still didn't know about this matter.

He thought for a moment, then roughly told Isayama Huangquan over the phone what happened this morning after taking the Contract Spirit to see his wife and daughter.

Upon hearing the boy dissolved the Contract Spirit's contract and let it pass on, Isayama Huangquan couldn't help but cry out in surprise; Broly heard it and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, Sister Huangquan?"

"Ah, no-nothing, just saw a cockroach!"

The girl realized her reaction was off and hurriedly made up an excuse.

"You continue, what happened after?"

"After that, I obtained the pure soul power gifted by the other party; I gathered it up and got a crystal. Iinaga-sensei said that's a Soul Crystal, said it can raise a person's or spirit beast's spiritual power strength and limit, can also be used as material for forging Exorcism Equipment, and can also shape a spirit into a new spirit beast..."

Broly didn't conceal anything, telling the girl all the usage suggestions Iinaga Noriyuki gave for the Soul Crystal; Isayama Huangquan of the Tsuchimiya family listened on the phone in a daze — dissolving a Contract Spirit's contract yet obtaining a Soul Crystal, just what kind of stroke of luck for a rookie Exorcist is this~

"Sister Huangquan, I originally wanted to leave the Soul Crystal for you, but Iinaga-sensei said only if I become strong myself can I better help you, Sister, and share some of the pressure on you as the Jianshan Family Future Head successor, so I used that Soul Crystal."

Broly glanced at the White Shadow Ninja; the White Shadow Ninja's matter couldn't be revealed for now, so he told some truth with reservations, but didn't tell the whole story.

"Ah, that guy Iinaga, what nonsense did he spout to a child like you?"

On the other end of the receiver, the girl instantly felt somewhat annoyed upon hearing the boy say he wanted to share the pressure of the Future Head position.

That guy Iinaga Noriyuki actually acted on his own initiative and said some irresponsible things to her adoptive brother, which made her feel a bit angry.

"Iinaga-sensei only spoke of the responsibility you bear, Sister Huangquan; you've been very good to me, I want to become your support, but I don't know if I'm helping the wrong way — should I have left the Soul Crystal for you to use?"

"No such thing; the Soul Crystal was originally gifted to you by your Contract Spirit, you're more suited to use it than Sister; the fact you have this intention already makes Sister very happy!"

Isayama Huangquan wasn't lying; her Happiness Value on the Crystal Palace Panel had risen again; Iinaga Noriyuki had one sentence that wasn't wrong — a sincere attitude is sometimes more important than actual behavior.

"Don't worry, Sister Huangquan, I can feel my own strength; after absorbing the Soul Crystal it's already become stronger.

When I go contract other spirits later, and help fulfill their wishes like the first Contracted Spirit, I'll definitely be able to obtain new Soul Crystals.

At that time, the new Soul Crystals obtained, I'll give them to you, Sister Huangquan; hope you won't refuse then."

Broly referred to the matter of ferrying spirits; he happened to want to acquire more Soul Crystals in this world; saying it to the girl on the phone now meant when he got new Soul Crystals later it wouldn't seem so abrupt, and he could directly give them to her for use — this also counted as adding bricks and tiles to her strength in another way.

"A younger brother's gift, how can Sister refuse? But since you want to give me such a big heavy gift, Sister must also have some repayment; what to do?"

Isayama Huangquan's somewhat troubled voice came from the other end of the receiver.

"No need; as long as you, Sister Huangquan, can feel happy and blessed, that's the greatest repayment to me; however, if possible, I hope Sister Huangquan will promise me one request in the future."

Broly said sincerely.

"Mm, just promising one request, how can that do? In the future, no matter what request of yours, Sister will promise you; besides that, Sister must also work harder to dote on you, this child; otherwise, you treat me this well, I have no contribution at all, how can I be your Big Sister!"

The girl was someone who repaid kindness; her adoptive father took her in when she had no relatives and raised her, so she strove hard for her adoptive father's family's exorcism career.

Similarly, the boy showed her closeness and gave her full emotional value, so she also had to repay him.

And such a capture target where there's repayment for contribution, even multi-fold repayment in just a few days, is comparatively rare.

The other wives in the Crystal Palace mostly only had this reaction in the mid or late capture stages; the implicit meaning of this reaction actually is that the other party already doesn't mind getting along with oneself and can obtain happiness in the getting along.

"Sister Huangquan, I'm hungry."

"Then go eat; Sister's side is also preparing to eat; remember, don't come home too late at night."

Hung up the phone; Isayama Huangquan stretched her body in the courtyard; a day's fatigue was actually somewhat relieved after this call home.

Of course, her stomach was still hungry; the girl walked back to the Tsuchimiya family mansion with light steps; the Tsuchimiya family maids had already prepared the food; the condolence guests who hadn't left yet at this time stayed in a room dining together and discussing the Exorcist Alliance's subsequent matters.

Isayama Huangquan collected the relaxed expression on her face, put on a stern face, and sat down beside her adoptive father; she scanned the room and found the Tsuchimiya family's girl wasn't present; after a thought, she leaned close and said to Isayama Naraku: "Father, Kagura-sama might still be in her room; I'll go look after her."

"Huangquan, you've really helped a great deal; that child Kagura, I'll leave her to you."

Isayama Naraku nodded; if not for his daughter being here, today he definitely wouldn't have managed.

"Maid, please prepare one more portion of food."

Isayama Huangquan carried two portions of food, found the room where Tsuchimiya Kagura was placed this morning, and knocked on the door.

"I'm coming in."

She said one sentence to the unresponsive room, then pushed the door and entered.

Inside the room, Tsuchimiya Kagura hugged her knees, sitting silently on the tatami.

"You're hungry too, right? Come eat something."

Isayama Huangquan set the food before the girl; the girl smelled the food's aroma, and her stomach involuntarily let out a growling sound.

This sound made a touch of shy red appear on Tsuchimiya Kagura's face; she looked at the black-long-straight girl smiling and leaning close, and said "thank you" in a somewhat stammering voice.

"I'm called Isayama Huangquan."

"Sorry, I have no impression."

"Normal; I'm a child adopted by Father; can I call you Little Sister Kagura?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura fell silent.

"Not speaking, I'll take it as you agreed; come, Little Sister Kagura, open your mouth."

Isayama Huangquan used chopsticks to pick up meat onto the rice, then lifted the rice with meat and offered it before the girl, making Tsuchimiya Kagura's expression go blank for a moment.

"I can eat by myself."

The girl spoke in a small voice.

"Seeing you with no motivation to eat, I thought you were too hungry to have the strength to eat. It's fine, this big sister doesn't mind."

The girl's somewhat closed-off heart was pushed open by the girl's proactive manner, like a social anxiety terrorist; after being fed a mouthful of rice by Iwayama Huangquan with chopsticks, Tsuchimiya Kagura, to avoid being fed again, could only pick up the chopsticks herself and start eating in small mouthfuls.

"Now that's more like it. Well then, I'll dig in too."

Iwayama Huangquan was very satisfied with the girl eating on her own, picked up her chopsticks, said a sentence, and started shoveling the rice and dishes in front of her.

The porcelain bowl and chopsticks collided making some noise; Tsuchimiya Kagura subconsciously looked over and discovered the black-long-straight girl had a wolfing-down-food appearance.

"Sorry, a bit hungry, table manners not too good-looking, you don't mind, right?"

"Don't mind."

Tsuchimiya Kagura shook her head, watching Iwayama Huangquan's appearance, and imitated her by eating in big mouthfuls.

Because, she was also hungry.

"Ugh~"

But the girl was quickly choked.

From last night until now, she hadn't drunk a single sip of water.

"Drink some soup."

Iwayama Huangquan hurriedly passed over the soup; after the rice stuck in her throat was sent down, Tsuchimiya Kagura exhaled.

"Thank you."

She gave thanks; this was a very polite girl.

"Younger Sister Kagura, from now on I'll take care of you, how about that?"

Iwayama Huangquan suddenly asked; Tsuchimiya Kagura looked at her with some surprise.

"Can I?"

Iwayama Huangquan showed an expectant expression, leaned in close, and pursued the question.

"I... don't know."

Tsuchimiya Kagura was somewhat at a loss.

"Then it's decided. Hurry up and eat. After eating, I'll take you out. The final send-off, yet still needs you to do it."

Hearing these words, Tsuchimiya Kagura's nose turned sour, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Dropping tears while eating.

Iwayama Huangquan, meanwhile, ate while taking out tissues to wipe the girl's tears.

After finishing the meal, the two walked out of the room; Tsuchimiya Kagura's spirit state recovered a lot.

At the end of the funeral, she sent off the representative of her mother — the clothes and crown placed in the coffin.

"Wait one more day. After handling the Tsuchimiya Family's trivial matters here, we can return home tomorrow."

Isayama Naraku said a sentence.

"Father, can I request one thing of you?"

At the side, Iwayama Huangquan suddenly asked.

"What thing?"

Isayama Naraku looked over.

"I want to take Younger Sister Kagura to live at our home. Uncle Tsuchimiya needs to accept the Inheritance Ritual; for a period after that, the Tsuchimiya Family side definitely won't be able to take good care of Younger Sister Kagura, so..."

"You want to take care of her?"

"Mm."

The girl nodded.

"This will be very troublesome, and might even attract relatives' criticism. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Father doesn't ask me if I have confidence to take good care of the other party?"

Isayama Naraku, hearing his adopted daughter's retort, showed a helpless smile on his face: "There's already a precedent, why would I still ask this?

Since you want to do this, then do it. A girl who lost her mother having someone to take care of her is definitely better than staying alone at the Tsuchimiya Family.

However, what about Broly's side?"

"That child and Younger Sister Kagura are of similar age; the two will definitely become good friends. When the time comes, I can introduce them to know each other. Right, also don't know if Broly has returned home yet?"

Iwayama Huangquan spoke and went to make a phone call again, but this time the home's landline had no one pick up.

"Hasn't returned home yet? Should give that child a mobile phone."

She muttered; Isayama Naraku helplessly shook his head.

In the neon-lit city district, Broly stood atop the rooftop, a rather conspicuous white figure beside him.

However, although conspicuous, only those with high spiritual sense can see it; the white shadow ninja has the invisibility ability of a pure spirit body before ordinary people.

"Normally speaking, only places with many dead people easily have ghost creatures appear, so I should go find a cemetery."

Broly had already finished dinner; he wandered the city trying to search for spirit bodies, but did not find any.

So, he bought a city map at a convenience store, and is now searching for a nearby cemetery.

"Found it, should be this direction. Hm, can you keep up with me?"

Broly asked the white shadow ninja behind him a sentence; his own ninja nodded.

He was somewhat doubtful, but still took flight.

Then, he saw his own ninja jump up, four limbs spread open turning into a ninja kite.

And a single line connected to the ninja kite dangled down right in front of him.

"Alright, as long as the line doesn't break, that indeed counts as keeping up."

Broly grabbed the line, just like flying a kite, bringing his shinobi toward the direction of the cemetery.

Looking from afar, it was just like a white mayfly flying in the sky.

Not long after, Broly arrived above the cemetery.

Descending silently from the sky, he directly and politely inquired of the hunchbacked old man ahead who was holding a flashlight, seemingly patrolling the cemetery: "Hello, excuse me, are you still alive?"

Hearing the movement, the gravekeeper old man who seemed to manage the cemetery turned his head, revealing a face full of wrinkles and corpse spots, letting out a hoarse whimper from his mouth toward the boy.

Rustling sounds instantly rang out in the quiet cemetery, one Type C Evil Spirit Possessed Human after another, like zombies, crawled up from the burial mounds.

"The place is right, but do these count as spirit bodies?"

Broly produced doubt.

"Forget it, receive them first then talk. White Shadow Shinobi, help these guests who are about to accept my salvation calm down first."

Broly issued the order, a white figure streaked past him like floating light, the magic limbs of the Type C Evil Spirit Possessed Humans were flung flying, in just the blink of an eye, this group of evil spirits who surrounded and intruded into the territory of the living had all become bare poles, with no hands and feet, only able to lie prone on the ground letting out meaningless roars.

"Bring the first guest over first..."

The White Shadow Shinobi carried the old man holding the flashlight over and placed him in front of Broly.

"Hmm, do you have any wishes? I can help you realize them, of course, for a price."

Broly spoke to the other party, but the evil spirit old man just went ugh ugh ugh, mouth opening and closing, body wriggling in the White Shadow Shinobi's grasp, as if wanting to wriggle over and bite him.

"Why is it not answering my question?"

Broly was somewhat puzzled.

The White Shadow Shinobi silently looked at him.
