Chapter 202 Is the protagonist Kiyomizu Kazumi or not?
“Yo, Shinichi, long time no see!”
Hearing the boy’s address, Shun Muto nodded with satisfaction, sheathed his long sword, and casually patted Sato Shinichi, who was covered in injuries, on the shoulder.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, I’m an injured person! By the way, Uncle Shunmuki, why do you have time to come to Shikoku?”
Dodging the man’s thick palm strike, which would have hurt even when healthy, Sato Shinichi quickly changed the subject to Shun Muto.
“Hahahaha, I came to find Hetuan for something, and when I heard that something happened nearby, I came to help.”
After thinking for a moment, Shun Muto realized that it was indeed inappropriate to treat an injured person like this, so he withdrew his hand and laughed heartily.
“Uncle Shunmuki, if that guy escapes, will… My master also asked me to investigate clues related to [Shadow] in the school…”
Looking at the messy battlefield around them, Sato Shinichi seemed to remember something, and asked the decadent uncle opposite him with a slightly serious expression.
“Ah, you mean him, it’s fine.”
Shun Muto waved his hand dismissively.
“I can’t keep him unless Hetuan’s true form can also come. Maybe he can really keep him here, but Hetuan’s true form cannot come out of the school, so there is no way.”
While explaining the reason, Shun Muto spread his hands. If the opponent really wanted to run, he could escape completely even with two of his attacks.
“Even you, Uncle Shunmuki, can’t do anything… Could it be that he…”
“[Executive] Poisonous Snake, former psychic, and stole part of the power of the sealed Demon God Python in the 8.23 case. According to intelligence, he has not been active in underground activities for a long time.”
Taking over Sato Shinichi’s words, Shun Muto became a little more serious and explained the information about Masashi Sakuraba to Sato Shinichi.
“I will tell your teacher. I also have something to visit him. You don’t need to worry about this kind of thing.”
“However, compared to these, I’m more concerned about this. This, did your teacher teach you? Old Lei wouldn’t teach a method of faking death like this, right?”
After finishing the serious matter, Shun Muto immediately lost his composure. After informing that he would handle the matter here, he became interested in the through-and-through large hole on the boy’s chest. If it weren’t for his special sensing method, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that Sato Shinichi was pretending to be dead before.
“Ah, it’s a method of controlling muscle contraction and internal organ movement. He’s too difficult to deal with. If I don’t get close, I have no chance of winning. This is the only method I can think of.”
Sato Shinichi shyly touched his cheek. After all, for Hamano Tsukasa, who had always been upright, he would not deliberately teach him such strange combat techniques. The operation of these abilities was also discovered by Sato Shinichi through his own experience. Although it looked a bit undignified, it was the only way to break the situation at that time.
“Hey, it’s not your fault. It’s too much for you to deal with an enemy of this level right now, but you did a really good job, kid. You lasted so long under him.”
To deal with an enemy that even he finds difficult to deal with, Sato Shinichi could do this much, which was really strong. Shun Muto praised him without hesitation.
Then, as if remembering something, he picked up the cloth doll in his hand and asked Sato Shinichi.
“By the way, this is something he left behind. Has the spirit world been notified? Usually, when dealing with him, you would contact the people from the spirit world.”
“Actually, I don’t think those spooky guys are very useful. Every time they just cast a few talismans and he easily broke them. If it weren’t for Old Lei always talking about seals, I wouldn’t want to call them…”
Sato Shinichi clearly heard Shun Muto’s complaint. As a junior, he had nothing to say to this always unconventional uncle, so he could only nod and listen to his complaints with a smile.
“Yes, Kiyomizu-san is from Mishiro Shrine and came to investigate matters related to [Shadow] and seals.”
After hearing Shun Muto’s complaint, Sato Shinichi seriously pointed to the girl beside him and replied.
“…”
It was Shun Muto’s turn to be embarrassed. He was just complaining casually, but he didn’t expect that the boy would actually have a companion from the spirit world.
How can a junior do this? Aren’t they deliberately making him look bad!
Fortunately, Shun Muto was not ashamed for the first day. His hearty laughter covered up the embarrassment of his recent nonsense, and he handed the cloth doll to Sato Shinichi and said.
“Ah ha ha ha, then give this to her. Also, hand over today’s matters to their family.”
“By the way, there is another one over there. Is he here to find you?”
Shun Muto’s last words made the boy, who had taken the cloth doll and was about to help up Mai Shinomiyai on the ground, freeze. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the skinny girl standing in place with an extremely complicated expression.
Without even having time to hand over the cloth doll, the boy, dragging his injured body, ran to the girl step by step. All the words in his mouth turned into nothing, and he could only shyly lower his head, not daring to look at the girl whose eye sockets were red with tears.
“I’m sorry.”
This soft sentence was like a bomb dropped into the seabed, detonating the infinite emotions in the girl’s heart. Her already red eye sockets from seeing the boy began to feel sour along with her nose. The tears hanging from the corners of her eyes rolled down, sliding along the soft curve of her cheeks and dripping down.
But as if unwilling to show her embarrassing appearance, she stubbornly turned her head, not letting the boy see her full face. Only a tear streak could be seen, sliding down her chin to her flawless white neck.
“Oh, such youth!”
Shun Muto, still in place, looked at Sato Shinichi, who was at a loss, trying to comfort the crying girl in the distance, with some emotion. But as if he thought of something, he turned his head back and looked at the long-haired girl who had collapsed on the ground. Her pair of green eyes stared at the two people in front of her with complex emotions.
With a “tsk” sound, he smiled. His unkempt mouth revealed an exaggerated smile. He turned around and walked towards the people from Shikoku Gakuin who were clearly rushing towards them from a distance.
“In this respect, he is exactly the same as his master!”
