Chapter 583

Facing Tsuchimiya Kagura, Isayama Naraku held nothing back; letting a child with insufficient capability go exorcise was practically no different from murder.

Upon returning home and entering the Dojo, this one-armed Isayama Family Head used the cane in his hand to give the girl who had picked up a wooden sword a thorough beating.

"Kagura, now you understand — you can't even beat a cripple like your uncle, yet when your uncle faces an Upper-class Evil Spirit, he must also be prepared to be killed; this arm I lost was lost when I once faced an Upper-class Evil Spirit, and your mother..."

Isayama Naraku stopped suddenly at this point.

"Sorry, but this is for your own good; I heard from Huangquan that in front of that kid Broly, an Upper-class Evil Spirit was easily subdued — Broly's Spiritual Power completely suppressed the Evil Spirit.

Hmph, you shouldn't compare yourself to a monstrous genius who possesses talent beyond what ordinary geniuses can comprehend; your uncle believes you'll definitely become an excellent Exorcist in the future, but right now you still need to learn many things, not go on adventures dealing with Evil Spirits."

When Broly returned from the Countermeasures Bureau, what he saw was the girl with plasters on her arm: "Kagura-neesan, are you injured?"

"It's nothing, just a bout of swordsmanship with Uncle; I asked Uncle to train me seriously and this is the result."

Tsuchimiya Kagura looked at the two who were staring tensely at the plastered spots on her arm, and explained with an air of it being no big deal.

"Kagura also wants to go exorcise with you all, but I think this child still needs to accumulate learning, so I refused her."

Isayama Naraku walked over and explained a sentence as well; Isayama Huangquan understood, but Broly was somewhat confused and asked: "Exorcism, isn't that a very simple matter?"

"Most of the Tsuchimiya Family's exorcism ability lies with Byakuei; Kagura this child is a girl, and at this age her body hasn't developed yet.

Dealing with Evil Spirits — for example, dealing with that Evil Spirit you successfully contracted and then released — is still a bit too much for her; Broly, I hope you can understand this point."

Isayama Naraku didn't put on a stern face to lecture the boy on how hard exorcism is, because the boy's talent destined him to be different from other ordinary Exorcists.

For ordinary Exorcists, facing an Evil Spirit would be a nine-deaths-one-life situation; in the boy's eyes, it's probably about the same as an ordinary stray dog by the roadside.

The only thing he needs to train is the boy's heart, which might inflate from the power brought by overly powerful talent.

"Broly, you're a boy; being stronger than a girl like Kagura-neesan is only natural; from now on, you have to protect Kagura and me well~"

Broly was thinking; Isayama Huangquan played along from the side; interrupted by this, Broly stopped pondering, nodded seriously at the girl, and replied: "Yeah, from now on, I'll protect Huangquan-neesan and Kagura-neesan well."

【Exorcist Girl Training Plan, Trainee Members +1】

"Broly, you really are reliable!"

Tsuchimiya Kagura said a sentence, her expression seeming like joy yet also like sorrow.

【If when Mother had her accident, there had been a kid like Broly by her side to protect her, would she not have died?】

After understanding what concept an Upper-class Evil Spirit was, Tsuchimiya Kagura couldn't help but generate this thought.

"I'll also work hard learning Exorcism Techniques from now on, trying my best to become an older sister capable of protecting my younger brother."

【Father's words from before were right; only by making oneself strong can one prevent some tragedies from happening.

Mother wasn't strong enough, Father and I weren't powerful, so Mother died.

From now on, I have to become even more powerful!】

The girl was very determined; after eating, she stayed alone in the Dojo swinging her bamboo sword.

"Kagura, the bath water's ready!"

Not long after, Isayama Huangquan ran over to call her.

"Huangquan-neesan, you bathe first; I still want to continue practicing sword for a bit."

"Your arm's injured; there's no need to train this hard, right?"

"No, there is this need, because I discovered my strength still has a huge gap compared to a true Exorcist."

"Uh, my father's actually a very powerful Exorcist; a kid your age losing to him isn't very normal?"

"Not Uncle."

"Then who?"

"It's Broly."

"Why would you think to compare with that kid?"

"I was thinking, if Mother's child was him instead of me, would she not have died."

"Ah?"

"Of course, I know this matter has no ifs; so I have to become powerful, need to work even harder; only this way can I prevent some sad things from happening again in the future."

Isayama Huangquan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say about the girl's change for a moment; after thinking, she said to her: "Wanting to become strong requires reasonable training; just burying your head in training won't work."

And when Broly came looking, what he saw was the two practicing sword together: "Huangquan-neesan, weren't you here to call Kagura-neesan to bathe? How come you're also practicing swordsmanship together?"

"Sorry, it just naturally became like this."

"Then I'll also practice sword together?"

"No, you go bathe first; after you're done we'll go."

Broly's request to join sword practice was refused; Isayama Huangquan made him go bathe first.

"That kid's swordsmanship talent is also extremely formidable; when he first picked up a sword he could go fifty-fifty with an expert like me; it can be said to be second only to his Spiritual Power talent."

After Broly left, Isayama Huangquan in the Dojo said this to Tsuchimiya Kagura; who knows if the girl would feel awkward upon learning the truth.

Not long after, Broly finished bathing, changed clothes, and ran over to call the two; Tsuchimiya Kagura no longer insisted on bitter training, but listened to Isayama Huangquan's words — resting when she should rest, training bitterly when she should train bitterly — and was taken to bathe by the girl.

In the bathroom came the playful sounds of the girl and the young woman, while Broly, for the sake of tonight's matters, ran back to his own room alone.

When Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura finished bathing and came out, they were startled to find the boy already asleep on the bed in his own room.

"This kid looks tired too."

Isayama Huangquan thought of the afternoon's matters; after she took the boy to the Countermeasures Bureau side, she was directed by Director Shinguuji to continue investigating and handling some spiritual locations, and cleaned up a few Evil Spirits as well.

"Then tonight?"

"Of course it's you and me, Sister, our alone time together~"

The room door was closed again; the cool girl kabedon'd the young woman against the wall, pinched her chin with her hand, drew close, and spoke.

Clearly, Isayama Huangquan hadn't read few shoujo manga; the girl experiencing kabedon for the first time, Tsuchimiya Kagura, showed a red face and accelerated heartbeat.

"Eh, Kagura-imouto, looking at your appearance, have you been captivated by me, Sister?"

Isayama Huangquan jumped out of the shoujo manga male lead persona and teased the girl.

"No way!"

The teased Tsuchimiya Kagura blushed and retorted, while Broly in the room glanced at the Crystal Palace Panel and discovered her Happiness Value had just risen.

Deep night, quiet people; Broly, sleeping alone tonight, secretly left the Isayama Family through the window, and upon reaching the Tsuchimiya Family cemetery, the black and white ninjas were already waiting for him, each carrying an iron shovel.

"Don't let the cemetery caretaker discover us; we'll sneak inside and dig up the grave."

The black and white ninjas nodded, and Broly watched the two black and white ninjas each display their supernatural abilities to infiltrate the cemetery.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

However, Broly stopped the black shadow ninja creeping toward the caretaker's building and asked.

The stopped black shadow ninja poked its head out from the ground and made a throat-slitting gesture at Broly.

The meaning was very obvious; it intended to deal with the cemetery caretaker, letting the other party sleep a sleep they'd never wake from.

"I told you to dig the grave, not to kill people, understand?"

Broly's mouth corner twitched as he spoke; the other party wanting to learn his assassination infiltration was fine enough.

The black shadow ninja's crimson eyes blanked for a moment; seeing Broly this little master's serious gaze, it nodded and turned to infiltrate the cemetery from the tree shade.

When the one person and two ninjas reached Tsuchimiya Mai's gravestone, Broly took out his slide phone, turned on the phone light, and stood aside letting his two summoned beings carefully dig the grave: "Don't damage the grave; we still have to restore it later."

The black and white ninjas' gazes paused on the phone in the boy's hand, then each took out a spatula from their own bodies and started working.

Digging a grave is simple, but digging a grave without sound still requires some technique; it took about fifteen minutes before the two ninja soldiers pried open the grave, revealing the freshly buried coffin.

Broly had the white shadow ninja hold the phone, stepped forward to open the coffin, expecting to see a stiff corpse, but inside there was only a set of clothes.

"Where's the corpse?"

Broly froze; the black and white ninjas looked at each other, unable to answer this question.

"Could there be a corpse thief who got here before us and stole Tsuchimiya Kagura's mother's corpse?"

Broly mused to himself, but this grave didn't look like it had been opened early by anyone either.

The Tsuchimiya Family cemetery caretaker was awakened from his sleep by someone.

Upon waking, the ninja sword at his neck and the bone-piercing evil chill in the room made him not dare move in the slightest.

"Speak, where is Madam Tsuchimiya's corpse?"

Back against the room window, projected in the moonlight, a short black-clothed masked figure asked in a hoarse voice.

【No way, this era actually still has guys doing corpse-stealing work?!】

The caretaker's eyes trembled, but he still replied with remarkable backbone.

"You think I'd tell you?"

"So you're not afraid of dying?"

The crimson in the black shadow ninja's eyes turned so crimson it nearly dripped blood after Broly's words fell.

"This old man has already lived most of his life; life and death I've long since..."

Words unfinished, the caretaker stopped, watching the raised ninja sword seemingly preparing to behead him, the black shadow evil spirit; this person immediately changed his tune: "The Tsuchimiya Family has an inheritance ritual; Madam Tsuchimiya must cooperate with the inheritance ritual; the corpse will only truly be interred in the cemetery three months later."

【Where did this corpse thief come from, stealing corpses in the Tsuchimiya Family cemetery without even inquiring about the situation?】

"My lord, everything you want to know, this old man has confessed; can you spare this little old man's life?"

The caretaker was very tactful; he did dogeza on the bed and asked.

"You still haven't told me where the corpse is."

"In the Tsuchimiya Family's Spirit Vein Land."

Broly: "..."

Fortunately, he bought a map.

"On this map, mark it out for me!"

He threw the Crystal Palace's map before the other party and said coldly in a hoarse voice.

Caretaker: "..."

He was also somewhat stunned silly, momentarily unable to figure out what exactly was the situation with the black-clothed guys who night-raided this old man.

Not only unclear on the Tsuchimiya Family's inheritance ritual, but they didn't even know where the Tsuchimiya Family's Spirit Vein Land was; completely the appearance of outsiders.

"Understood, my lord."

However, the caretaker still quickly helped mark the map; the Spirit Vein Land during inheritance is guarded by a pile of Exorcists; evil spirits going there at this time, even Upper-Grade Spirits, might as well be seeking death; he naturally wouldn't refuse helping the other party find the road to Hell.

Just as he finished marking the map, ready to spring from the bed at any moment to burn the last of his old bones into flames for the Tsuchimiya clan, the evil spirit and the suspected corpse-thief manipulating evil spirits submerged into darkness, actually letting this cemetery caretaker go.

Dazed on the bed for a long while, clothes gradually soaked with cold sweat, the old caretaker finally rose to pick up the landline and communicate with the Tsuchimiya Family side.

"Someone has their eyes on the inheritance ritual, preparing to move on the Spirit Vein Land; eh, what, already moved, but..."

But after finishing the call, the old caretaker became somewhat dazed, because the clan's Spirit Vein Land side had already been attacked by a herd of evil spirits.

"Worthy of the Tsuchimiya Family; even with preparations, a herd of evil spirits forming an evil spirit tide actually couldn't breach the outer barrier."

Sanzugawa Kazuhiro, through the Witch Worm Technique, remotely observed the evil spirit tide he guided with the Killing Stone, now assaulting the Tsuchimiya Family Spirit Vein Land but about to fail.

"Looks like, regarding the Killing Stone held by this family, we still need to plan long-term."

Just as he prepared to withdraw, a breach appeared in the middle section of the evil spirit tide, as if smashed through by something suddenly.

It was Broly, who had gotten the marked map and rushed non-stop to the Spirit Vein Land side.

And he had already observed from the sky for a while; although he didn't know why the Tsuchimiya Family's Spirit Vein Land was being besieged by a group of spirit bodies, this wasn't important; what was important was that he could just use those besieging spirit bodies as cover to break inside.

Of course, he only wanted to take away Tsuchimiya Kagura's mother's remains, not to kill Tsuchimiya Kagura's clan members, so...

"You clear the rear section of evil spirits; I'll clear the front."

After dropping this line, Broly took out the ordinary iron sword kept in the Crystal Palace, infused it with Spiritual Power, and started slashing at the evil spirit tide before him.

The Black and White Dual Ninja also drew their ninja swords, facing the Evil Spirits continuously surging from behind; no wonder they couldn't find Evil Spirits easily, it turned out Mostly all were Here.

The Midnight exorcism hour has arrived, and the Ninja Spirit's blade will show no mercy.
