Chapter 7: Spiritual Power, Here Comes Again!
Shinjuku District is one of Tokyo's 23 administrative districts and is also a relatively prosperous commercial district.
But these may not be the same for Chiori Ina.
All the prosperity and excitement have nothing to do with her.
If Nishiki Okada had not had an ancestral home, it would be difficult for him to buy a house in a place like Shinjuku, let alone settle for it, based on his income.
Chiori Ina's mother is willing to "get a good marriage again" with Nishiki Okada, perhaps because of the contribution of this house. If the rest is left, the two of them will work together. However, Nishiki Okada may have some motivation when she was young, but with the steady increase in age, there has been no improvement in salary. Even her position is exactly the same as a few years ago, Nishiki Okada became a salted fish and no longer had the idea of climbing up again.
He has now lived a life of fishing for troubled waters.
Although Chiori Ina lives in such a big city, their old house is not in the prosperous city, but in a suburb. There are not too many people living here. Wild dogs often bark at night, and some people even wander around the streets and alleys.
In such a place, even the street lights are not bright and cannot be shined at every corner of the street.
The street lights emitting dim light form a sharp contrast with a rapidly moving shadow on the side of the road.
Chiori Ina trotted towards the nearest convenience store.
But even the nearest convenience store is nearly one kilometer away from Chiori's home.
If she had a choice, Chiori Ina wouldn't be willing to come out to buy wine if she was beaten to death, but if she disobeyed Nishi Okada's wishes, she would probably be punching and kicking.
So despite being extremely scared in her heart, Chiori Ina still kept running towards the convenience store with the money Nishiki Okada gave him.
She just hopes to buy the beer Nishiki Okada needs soon, so that she will not have to be beaten today.
Hideichi Harano has been following Chiori Ina, following her steps, but in his heart he wanted to protect Chiori Ina, but he still didn't know what the source of spiritual power was...
Without spiritual power, he is a useless spirit.
Until now, Hideichi Harano had not figured out why spiritual power suddenly appeared in his body before.
Even if it is not for protection, Chiori Ina is the holder of the sheep horn comb. If something happens to Chiori Ina, then this sheep horn comb will not be kept well.
When it was really time for that time, the sheep horn comb was abandoned at will and cleaned up by sanitation workers. Then Yuanye Xiuyi's living place in the future might be a garbage dump.
This place is not as good as a hospital...
There are at least some people in the hospital.
The garbage dump is not only garbage.
So whether it is for Chiori Ina or for herself, Hideichi Harano will become Chiori Ina's guardian spirit in the future to protect her from being bullied.
Until he had the strength to escape with his horn comb.
Well, the plan is perfect.
Very nice ~
After more than ten minutes, Chiori Ina arrived at a nearby convenience store panting.
She rested in the store for a while, recovered her physical fitness before she picked up two bottles of beer that Nishiki Okada usually drank from the shelves, then placed them on the counter and carried the last two bottles in the same way.
A bottle of beer in Tokyo is about 250 yen.
How much does Nishiki Okada give Chiori Ina? He has basically settled the price and will not give the other party one more yen.
The reason why I want to return the remaining change is because convenience stores sometimes conduct promotions, which can be left with dozens of yen. Nishiki Okada has this idea.
After all, with Nishiki Okada's attitude towards Chiori Ina, it is a dream to give Chiori Ina some pocket money.
With four bottles of beer in his hand, it is basically no longer realistic if Chiori Ina wants to run back.
After all, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl, not to mention that the girl herself has no strength, and the four bottles of beer are not light.
Of course, one more important reason is that Chiori Ina is afraid that she accidentally fell while running, which would cause the beer in her hand to spread all over the floor. If she goes back like this, she will definitely be beaten by Nishiki Okada.
At this time, there were bursts of laughter between men and women about two hundred meters ahead of Chiori Ina.
Chiori Ina breathed a little relieved. If there were people, there would be no need to worry too much, otherwise it would be a bit of a panic in this wilderness alone.
But Hideichi Harano's brow frowned. As a ghost, he found that his visual ability at night was even stronger than during the day. The distance of about two hundred meters was not a distance for him at all, and he could see clearly even a place four hundred meters away.
During the day, if you want to see clearly what a person who is two hundred meters away looks like, you can basically only see a rough outline, and you cannot carefully distinguish what he looks like.
It was precisely because the ghost's visual ability was greatly improved at night that Hideichi Haraki saw what the three people in front looked like, two of whom were men and one woman, dressed in fancy styles.
The girl has her navel exposed and has tattoos on her arms.
The boy's words were pierced with his ears and cigarettes in his mouth, and he was flowing in his way, which was obviously a bad person on the road.
If Hideichi Harano had the ability, he would definitely pull Chiori Ina to avoid it, but he was still useless and could not help Chiori Ina.
Seeing Chiori Ina keep getting closer to the group of bad elements, Shizuki Hara had a headache.
"This girl is really unrelated to the unlucky... I just hope that those bad people don't focus on her."
Finally, when she was about to get close, Chiori Ina also discovered this group of bad people. She said "unlucky" in her mind, but her steps were accelerating quietly. She hoped that she could pass by this group of people as soon as possible.
The more you don’t want what happens in your heart, the easier it is.
One of the male gangsters exhaled a cigarette from his mouth and turned around and said, "Hey, little sister, why are you doing so fast? Can you still eat people?"
"Yes, are you scared to walk alone at night? Where is the little sister's home? Do you want brothers and others to send you back?"
Chiori Ina said "ah" and held four bottles of beer in her arms. She didn't care about it now, just thinking about running home quickly.
But the two gangsters behind obviously did not intend to let Chiori Aina go like this.
"Stop her!"
Chiori Ina's face suddenly became ugly.
At the same moment, Shiki Haraki looked extremely surprised.
Spiritual power,
Chapter completed!
