Chapter 65: It's Just Kitano Classmate's Task (Please Keep Reading)

【Komainu Bell】

【Quality: Rare】

【Effect: Each time the bell is shaken, summon 1-3 straw komainu with a weak taunting effect. The higher the Charm and Spirit Technique Attribute, the stronger the summoned komainu. The bell can only be shaken once per natural day.】

【——A bell long enshrined within a shrine, once a miko's common prop.】

Uesugi Toru's eyes brightened.

Without a doubt, this was a prop that could be used the moment it was obtained, and its effect was incomparably powerful.

——You must first attack that taunting minion!

If three komainu were summoned at once, the enemy would definitely be disgusted to the point of extreme discomfort, and even if only one komainu was summoned due to bad luck, it could still create a precious attack opportunity for himself.

Although because he had not yet drawn the Three-Tailed Fox Incarnation, he could not fully unleash this prop's potential.

But his own Uesugi Toru's 9 points of Charm were not low, plus the normal 1 point of Spirit Technique value, and there was no difference between the two when added together during Incarnation Prajna.

That is to say, this was a precious prop that could enhance his combat power in his non-incarnation state, and there was no need to support the future just after drawing it.

"However, now is not a good time to test it."

The number of entries into Chang Shi was still on cooldown, and there was a ghost old father staying outside at home.

Uesugi Toru put away the bell, glanced at line, and after confirming there were no red dots, closed his eyes.

Sleep!

Recently, the ways of dying were novel and strange, Awakening Spirit Mist had to be used to reduce cooldown time, so he still needed to sleep more to replenish the spirit that had been crazily tortured.

……

Uesugi Toru was woken up by the phone ringtone.

He took a deep breath, used Kiai Technique to boot up instantly, and completely dispelled his morning grumpiness.

Uesugi Toru picked up his mobile phone, and the call displayed was exactly Kitano Runa calling him.

After clicking to connect, the girl's voice and the sound of a game console came together,

"Hello hello? Can you hear me?"

"Go ahead."

"Uh... cough cough, it's that matter where I asked Uesugi-kun for help before, is it okay if I send you the hospital address and detailed information on line?"

Kitano Runa's voice paused for a moment: "My mother's side has already been briefed, saying you are my classmate and friend, actually she doesn't have much of a problem, it's just that I'm a bit uneasy."

The girl's voice dropped by two degrees: "After all, she encountered a yokai..."

"Reasonable." Uesugi Toru responded, "Kitano Classmate, I will complete your task, you can rest assured."

As soon as these words were spoken, they seemed to obviously hit Kitano Runa's funny bone, making her puff out a laugh, and then she apologized crazily on the phone.

Uesugi Toru felt it didn't matter, young people laughing more was quite good,

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first, Kitano Classmate."

The apology stopped, and Kitano Runa's serious voice came: "Safe journey, Uesugi-kun."

"I will."

After hanging up, Uesugi Toru immediately saw the location and some precautions and instructions sent by Kitano Runa on line.

It could be seen that Kitano Runa cared very much about her Old Mother, and now being unable to visit her Mother due to her constitution, she probably felt quite guilty.

"This location isn't far."

After greeting the ghost old father who watched ball games day and night, Uesugi Toru took the doll and pushed the door out.

Even though the destination was the hospital Uesugi Toru had stayed at two days ago, under the torment of Tokyo's extremely complex railway system, a Google Maps location was indispensable.

This could avoid the vast majority of unexpected appearances.

After getting off the train, Uesugi Toru, who had been ruthlessly gouged at the fruit shop next to the hospital, walked into the hospital with a heavy heart.

When visiting a friend's elders, one must bring some condolence gifts, right?

Although these few melons and dates couldn't count as much, Uesugi Toru felt the intention had to be delivered——isn't that how it usually goes in anime?

According to the floor and room number given by Kitano Runa, Uesugi Toru walked into an ordinary hospital room.

And then saw Kitano Runa's mother who had just passed forty not long ago.

Uesugi Toru was slightly stunned.

Somewhat... unexpectedly aged.

"Is it Xiao Runa's classmate, come come come, sit quickly..."

The woman, who had already changed out of her hospital gown, took the chair that had long been prepared with a face full of smiles, and the wrinkles on her face were more than forty, rather more like over fifty.

Although one could roughly see the woman's beauty when young from her facial contours, obviously, these years she had already been overworked.

Previously Uesugi Toru had heard that Kitano Runa came to Tokyo from the countryside alone to attend high school, presumably she, who bore the expectations of the whole family, usually wasn't very relaxed either.

However, Kitano Runa ranked in the top of her grade in every exam, far more impressive than Shizuku, Manatsu and the like.

She could almost be said to be able to meet the threshold of the University of Tokyo.

Upon reaching this thought, Uesugi Toru's smile became even gentler: "Auntie, just call me Uesugi Toru..."

During the half hour of talking with Kitano's mother, apart from some pleasantries, most of it was asking about Kitano Runa's well-being, such as whether she had been sick recently, what club she joined, how her relationship with friends was, and so on...

And the most crucial part about grades, she actually didn't ask a single word.

Uesugi Toru answered truthfully, focusing on saying whatever he had to say, which made Kitano's mother sigh "Xiao Runa really hasn't changed at all".

"Speaking of which, Uesugi-kun, what do you think of Xiao Runa's character?"

In the end, Kitano's mother's gaze toward Uesugi Toru was full of appreciation.

Uesugi Toru's eyelid twitched: "Auntie, Kitano Classmate is naturally very good, but I'm not very good at studying..."

He without hesitation gave Kitano Runa a nice person card.

Having spoken to this extent, Kitano's mother naturally understood Uesugi Toru's meaning.

She sighed softly, but quickly smiled again: "Little Runa is really lucky to make friends like you."

……

After seeing off Kitano's mother safely from the hospital and confirming she carried no trace of Yokai aura, Uesugi Toru sent Kitano Runa a "Task Complete" on Line.

【Never Be a Loser!: Congratulations, you have gained Kitano Runa's Unrestricted Usage Right (Wholesome Version) ×1】

What kind of system-genre female spirit recovery is this.

Putting down his Mobile Phone, Uesugi Toru was just about to leave the Hospital when he Raised his Head and saw an unexpected face.

——It was that Chinese youth he and Shizuku had saved.

The other party also clearly hadn't expected to see him here, so his face was full of surprise: "Holy shit, Brother Uesugi, long time no see!"

The familiar accent made Uesugi Toru feel a trace of genuine closeness; he walked up and punched the youth's Chest: "Bro, didn't you say you left? How come you're at the Hospital?"

Uesugi Toru added: "Tokyo hasn't been peaceful lately, I suggest leaving as early as possible."

The youth's Complexion was complicated; after a Cough he held out his Hand: "This second meeting counts as fate too, I'm Zhou Zhenyu, if you don't mind let's exchange contacts."

Faced with such a Request, Uesugi Toru Naturally had no reason to Refuse.

After adding Line, he saw Zhou Zhenyu sigh heavily, Subconsciously lighting a Liqun Cigarettes Cigarettes Cigarette,

"Long story, if you have time keep me company for a stretch, we can talk while we walk……"
