Chapter 664: Urban Legend

"During this period, have there still been no traces found of that newly appeared Spirit?"

Aboard the Fraxinus, Itsuka Kotori chewed on a lollipop, frowning as she looked at the crew members before her.

"None. That Spirit is as if they have vanished; they haven't appeared at all. In fact, if not for the situation with those AST members being so vivid in our memories, we would even suspect whether that Spirit was just our imagination." The crew members present all shook their heads.

"How is the situation with the AST members?"

"According to the intelligence we received, they already returned to their normal appearance yesterday," another crew member said.

"Then, are there any side effects on their bodies?"

"None. The people over at AST conducted a comprehensive examination on them, and the results did not find any abnormalities on their bodies."

"How do you know it in such detail?" Itsuka Kotori asked with a frown.

"This is thanks to Kannazuki. He has a friend who is the person in charge of the AST medical facility, and this person happened to have the latest physical examination reports of those combat members in their hands. Kannazuki used a few small tricks and quietly copied those reports," one of the crew members said, while handing over a stack of papers.

Itsuka Kotori took the papers from the crew member's hand, read them carefully, and then nodded gently.

Judging from the information reflected in these physical examination reports, after the AST members who had been turned into little girls by Lingyun returned to their normal physiques, their bodies did not show any adverse phenomena; they were exactly as they had been before.

"By the way, where is Itsuka Shido?" Itsuka Kotori put the physical examination reports aside and asked.

"Shido is still at school," Murasame Reine said.

Raizen High School.

"When will this kind of life ever end!" Itsuka Shido lay on his desk with a decadent look, his eyes staring listlessly into the Void before him.

Not far in front of him, Tobiichi Origami and Yatogami Tohka had started arguing again over some trivial matter. Itsuka Shido discovered that the two of them were simply like natural-born enemies; if they didn't argue three or four times a day, it could be considered an abnormal occurrence.

Before Itsuka Shido's eyes, the image of that masked mysterious Spirit, along with that breathtakingly magnificent Sword Skill, couldn't help but surface once again.

Although the members of the Fraxinus had been working hard to find the traces of this Spirit during this time, the other party seemed to have completely vanished and had never appeared again.

"If I want to make contact with such a person, what method should I use?" Itsuka Shido felt a bit of a headache.

"Yo, my dear best friend, why are you looking so dispirited!"

Just at this moment, a voice came over. Itsuka Shido looked up and saw that it was his best friend at this school, Tonomachi Hiroto.

"It's nothing, just that a lot of things have been happening to me lately, making me feel physically and mentally exhausted," Itsuka Shido waved his hand listlessly and said.

"Damn, my dear best friend, you are truly blessed without knowing it!" Tonomachi Hiroto looked at Itsuka Shido with envious eyes. "Whether it's the new transfer student or the top of the grade, Tobiichi Origami, they are both great beauties that countless people look up to. Now that these two beauties are fighting over you, and you still look so depressed, isn't that going a bit too far!"

Hearing Tonomachi Hiroto say this, Itsuka Shido couldn't help but clutch his head, the decadence on his face deepening even further; it was precisely because of the current state of these two people that he felt depressed!

Watching Itsuka Shido clutch his head in a look of surrender, Tonomachi Hiroto couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, then patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright, I originally saw your exhausted look and wanted to take you to a place that might be able to solve your current troubles. But seeing you like this now, it's clear you don't need my help."

"A place that can solve my current troubles?" Hearing this term, Itsuka Shido couldn't help but lift his head, looking at Tonomachi Hiroto with anticipation. "Hiroto, does such a place really exist?"

Seeing Itsuka Shido's expression, Tonomachi Hiroto couldn't help but scratch his head a bit embarrassedly: "That, actually, I also heard it from someone. I want to go to that place to find out, but I'm a bit scared to go alone, so I was hoping you, Shido, would go with me!"

"What kind of place is that?" Itsuka Shido asked with some curiosity.

"That place is the latest urban legend!" Tonomachi Hiroto said somewhat mysteriously.

"An urban legend?" A bunch of question marks couldn't help but pop up over Itsuka Shido's head.

"It's a small shop that just opened not long ago, and the shopkeeper is said to be from the mysterious Huaxia! At the same time, that small shop also accepts all kinds of commissions. If the shopkeeper of that small shop takes your commission, then he will definitely help you complete it. In the urban legend, as long as a commission is accepted by that small shop, there has never been a precedent of failure!"

"There's actually such a place?" A trace of surprise appeared on Itsuka Shido's face.

"That's right, I heard about this magical place, which is why I wanted my best friend to go with me to check out that small shop. If I could really find a way to solve my current troubles, that would be great!"

"There is actually such a magical place?" Itsuka Shido's gaze suddenly turned toward Tobiichi Origami and Yatogami Tohka on the side. "If I could find a way to make the two of them get along harmoniously, that would be great!"

"We want to go too!" Just at this moment, two voices suddenly came over.

Itsuka Shido turned his head and saw that it was Tohka and the other one, who had gathered around him at some point.

"Shido, that mysterious small shop sounds very interesting!" Tohka said with an excited look.

"I want to go to that small shop to see if they can accept my commission," Origami said flatly, but her gaze was fixed firmly on Itsuka Shido.

"May I know what kind of commission you want to post?" Itsuka Shido swallowed his saliva and said.

"A commission to tie Shido to my side so he can never leave me!" Origami said with a flat expression.

"Why would you want to post such a commission!" Hearing Origami say this, Shido couldn't help but let out a wail.

Regardless, the trip to that unknown mysterious small shop was ultimately decided, with four people going together: Tonomachi Hiroto, Itsuka Shido, Tobiichi Origami, and Yatogami Tohka.

After school, the sky turned gloomy, and it began to drizzle.

"Eh, why is it raining? I remember the weather forecast said it would be sunny today? And the weather was quite good before too!" Tonomachi Hiroto looked out the window and couldn't help but frown.

"This kind of weather?" Origami looked at this abnormal weather and couldn't help but frown, as if she had thought of something.
