Chapter 699: The Severely Injured Izayoi Miku

"Today really is a peaceful day!"

Lingyun pushed open the shop's window, a relaxed smile on his face.

"During this period, DEM seems to have quieted down quite a bit," said Tokisaki Kurumi, who was beside Lingyun.

"After all, they suffered such a huge loss before; Ellen even nearly died at my hands. Under these circumstances, if the other side still dared to come out and jump around, that would be the embodiment of being brainless. And Isaac, as a calculating person, will not easily jump out without absolute certainty," Lingyun said.

"The Yamai sisters seem to have moved into the Itsuka house now, right?" Tokisaki Kurumi said to Lingyun.

"That's right. Because of this matter, Tohka was fiercely jealous. During that time, Itsuka Shido was almost worked to death trying to appease Tohka!" A strange smile appeared on Lingyun's face. "By the way, what makes Tohka the most annoyed is that Yuzuru seems to admire Tobiichi Origami very much now, but doesn't admire her!"

"Ha, these two really are natural-born rivals!" Lingyun said with some helplessness. "But precisely between these two, there exists a tacit understanding that others cannot compare to! In fact, if they were to face some special situations, they might even become comrades who entrust their lives to each other!"

"Some special situations, do you mean the people from DEM attacking Itsuka Shido?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked.

"I don't think they are incapable of doing such a thing," Lingyun said, shrugging his shoulders. "However, with Fraxinus around, even if DEM wants to make a move on Itsuka Shido, they have to weigh the consequences first."

"Lingyun, my potato chips are gone here. Can you help me buy some back?" Just at this moment, a humanoid object slumped on the sofa wiggled, lazily waving a hand at Lingyun.

"Damn it, you salted fish, when will you ever flip yourself over? In your current state, are you worthy of your title as the Second Spirit?" Lingyun looked at the object wiggling on the sofa and said with annoyance.

"But, before being the Second Spirit, being a shut-in is my foundation!" Nia wiggled a few times on the sofa, picked a more comfortable spot to lie down, and said to Lingyun with a carefree look.

"It seems that if I don't properly tidy up this salted fish of yours, it won't do!" Lingyun helplessly stretched out his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

"Eek!" With a startled cry, Nia disappeared from the sofa amidst a flash of silver light.

"Big Brother, where did you send Big Sister Nia?" Yoshino asked with some curiosity.

"I sent her to a place where she can strive to improve herself!" Lingyun revealed a kind smile to Yoshino. "During this time, even you, Yoshino, have been working hard to improve yourself, yet she is the only one doing nothing all day. To be honest, as she is now, even you, Yoshino, could easily subdue her. If things continue like this, what power does she have to protect herself?"

"I just feel that Big Brother Lingyun's smile is very dangerous!" Yoshinon, on Yoshino's hand, said while waving its hands.

"Does Yoshinon mean that you also want to go keep Nia company?" Lingyun turned his gaze toward Yoshinon and said with a smile.

"No, no, no, Yoshinon thinks Big Brother Lingyun's approach is absolutely correct. Big Sister Nia has been far too much of a salted fish lately; she definitely needs to be properly drilled!"

Although Yoshinon was just a puppet, when it saw Lingyun's smile, it still felt an invisible chill rush from its spine to the back of its head, and it hurriedly shook its head frantically.

"Mm, that's more like it!" Lingyun nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Ara ara, this sharp-tongued Rabbit Yoshinon still can't get the better of Lingyun," Tokisaki Kurumi said, looking amusedly at Yoshinon, who had quietly hidden behind Yoshino.

"Ding-ling, ding-ling—"

Just at this moment, the urgent sound of the doorbell rang out suddenly. Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly and, with a casual wave, the shop's door opened directly.

"Mr. Lingyun, save someone!" Just at this moment, a clear, beautiful voice rang out suddenly.

"Hm, this voice?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lingyun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He didn't remember there being such a girl among those who could enter his shop!

Suddenly, Lingyun thought of someone, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he looked toward the doorway.

At the entrance of the shop, a girl carrying someone appeared. This "girl" was wearing the girls' school uniform of Raizen High School, had long, flowing hair, and wore a clover-shaped hair ornament in her hair, looking extremely beautiful. The only regrettable thing was that the girl's chest was completely flat, which was extremely disappointing. The expression on the young girl's face was extremely anxious, and she was rushing toward Lingyun's direction.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Itsuka Shiori? How do you have time to come here now?" Lingyun looked at the young girl in front of him and asked.

"Mr. Lingyun, now is not the time to talk about such things. Let's save someone first!" Itsuka Shido, in women's clothing, placed the girl on his back onto a chair and said to Lingyun with an anxious look.

"This is, Izayoi Miku?" Lingyun looked at the girl Itsuka Shido had placed on the chair and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Tsk, that really is a rule-breaking chest," Tokisaki Kurumi glanced at Izayoi Miku's rule-breaking chest and couldn't help but pout.

"What is going on? How could she be so heavily injured?" Lingyun opened his hand, and dots of light appeared in his palm, enveloping Izayoi Miku's body.

There was only one wound on Izayoi Miku's body, and that was a huge gash located on her chest. This wound was extremely deep, almost reaching Miku's heart. If Izayoi Miku were not already a Spirit, this kind of injury would definitely have been enough to cost her her life. However, if this kind of injury were to continue, even with Izayoi Miku being a Spirit, she would be unable to endure it.

"Miku was injured like this to protect me." Whenever this matter was mentioned, Itsuka Shido's tone was full of self-reproach. "Previously, when we were at the Ten-Ou Festival, we were attacked by DEM. Miku was stabbed by a sword from a magician named Ellen to protect me. Tohka was captured by the people from DEM to cover my escape."

"So that's how it is. After failing to make a move from our side, they turned their target to you again. This DEM really is an annoying thing after all!" Tokisaki Kurumi said in a low voice, her tone filled with disgust. "As for that magician named Ellen, she has actually already recovered..."

"Mr. Lingyun, I beg you, assist me in rescuing Tohka!" Itsuka Shido looked at Lingyun, his tone holding a hint of pleading.

"Does this count as a commission?" Lingyun withdrew his hand. The light in his palm had already vanished, and the wound on Izayoi Miku's chest had completely disappeared; even her clothes had been repaired.

Hearing Lingyun's words, a flash of joy appeared in Itsuka Shido's eyes, and he bowed ninety degrees to Lingyun: "Thank you very much, Mr. Lingyun!"
