I promised to be an Onmyoji, but what kind of monsters are I collecting?

Chapter 3 Earthbound Spirits

"It's all your fault! You said those stupid things, and now I've been kicked out too!"

Outside the student council room, Yukimura Mashiro, her temper flaring, complained to Izumi Takumi, "My lunchbox is still inside!"

Hiding his lunchbox behind his back, Izumi Takumi whistled, "It's getting late, I'm going back to class now. You'd better try to salvage your lunch."

After saying that, he ignored Yukimura Mashiro's threatening gaze and walked downstairs as if nothing had happened.

"Damn it! That guy!" Yukimura Mashiro glared fiercely at Izumi Takumi's back, but seeing that he really didn't intend to turn around, she immediately changed her attitude and used a pitiful tone to whine into the room.

"My dear sister~ the troublesome man is gone, please let me in~"

Only a muffled "Get out!" came from inside the room.

After a moment of silence, Yukimura Mashiro began pounding on the wooden door and shouting, "Give me back my lunchbox! Give me back my lunchbox! Give me back my lunchbox!!!"

On the other side...

As soon as he returned to the classroom, Kazuma Kato immediately came over: "Traitor."

Izumi Takumi pushed his face away: "What traitor? I just went to have a meal with someone, and besides, I didn't even get to eat the meal."

"You've only known each other for less than a day! Why would someone invite you?" Kato Kazuma looked suspiciously at Izumi Takumi's handsome face, then suddenly realized: "Damn face-obsessed guy."

"It has nothing to do with my face, I'm selling my body." Muttering to himself, Izumi Takumi opened his lunchbox and quickly finished his lunch.

I had just finished getting ready when the afternoon class bell rang.

Yukimura Mashiro suddenly appears.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, a gasp came from the side. Izumi Takumi turned his head and saw Yukimura Mashiro rubbing her butt.

"Didn't you bring back lunch?" Out of curiosity, Izumi Takumi asked.

"They're coming back, but!" Yukimura Mashiro gritted her teeth, about to say something, but seemed to realize something was wrong. She then stared warily at Izumi Takumi and said with a smirk, "It's nothing."

It's not a big deal yet, take your hands off my butt before you speak.

Since Yukimura Mashiro didn't want to talk about it, Izumi Takumi wouldn't make a fool of himself by continuing to press the matter.

So he took out his textbooks and decided to review them again.

Although the Japanese language pack was automatically unlocked after he transmigrated, he still struggled with learning it.

Izumi Takumi really went all out to avoid being kept after school during the holidays.

But this time, Yukimura Mashiro was unhappy.

She originally planned to be reserved and wait for Izumi Takumi to ask her questions a few times before she would tell him very generously about the "misdeeds" she had suffered at her sister's place.

But why are you looking at books?

Yukimura Mashiro suddenly began to wonder if she wasn't charming enough, which was why this man had ignored her so many times.

Unable to hold back any longer, Yukimura Mashiro blurted out, "Aren't you even a little bit curious?"

"What?"

"You've been staring at my butt the whole time, haven't you?"

"Young man, be careful, or I might sue you for defamation."

Izumi Takumi was speechless: "Didn't you say you didn't want to talk about it? I'm sure you'd find it annoying if I kept pressing you."

"I... I was just pretending..." Yukimura Mashiro's voice trailed off as she spoke.

"So what did your sister do to you?"

Upon hearing Izumi Takumi mention this, Yukimura Mashiro no longer felt any pain in her buttocks or any sense of shame. She immediately said angrily, "All I did was ask my sister to open the door, but she wouldn't, so I yelled at her a few times."

"Then my sister suddenly opened the door, dragged me inside, and hit me."

Upon hearing this, Izumi Takumi asked curiously, "What did you say about your sister?"

"I just said she's short and has a bad temper, and that her breasts are small, and she's arrogant, that's all."

"If I were your sister, I'd beat you to death."

Izumi Takumi was speechless. Yukimura Yuri was clearly the kind of person who cared a lot about her height. If it weren't for their sisterly bond, Yukimura Mashiro would probably have killed her for saying that.

especially……

Glancing at the enormous hem of Yukimura Mashiro's chest, Izumi Takumi shook his head slightly, saying that he hadn't hit her hard enough.

"By the way, my sister said that she will transfer that money to your card after your spirit is activated."

"Spirit Awakening?"

"You can go to my sister again tomorrow at noon. She will prepare lunch for you. She said that people from the Xuecun family should not eat so poorly, or it would be embarrassing for her."

"Your sister is so nice, should I call her 'Mom' again?"

"???"

……

Click.

After taking out his keys and opening the door, Takumi Izumi finally had time to calmly think things through. He tossed his shoulder bag onto the sofa, then lay down and closed his eyes.

What happened today was still a bit too surreal for him.

"First of all, there's this yokai encyclopedia. The only yokai I can currently access are the Yukimura sisters."

"Hmm, I need to find a way to increase the sisters' favorability and get the rewards."

From the moment he agreed to Yukimura Yuri's request, Izumi Takumi had a premonition that his future was destined to be full of ups and downs.

"After all, I joined the monster family as a human."

With a sigh, Izumi Takumi opened his eyes.

A girl in a school uniform is floating on the roof beam of my house.

"..."

Izumi Takumi closed his eyes again.

It must be because I opened my eyes wrong.

But when I opened my eyes again, a monster encyclopedia appeared.

[Earthbound Spirit: Kotoko Morishita]

[Details: Unlocked after collection]

[Inclusion Criteria: Affection level of 30]

[Inclusion Bonus: Yin-Yang Eyes]

[Inclusion Note: She exists, she sees, she witnesses.]

[Morishita Kotoko's current affection level: 40 (can be recruited)]

"So I've had a roommate in this house all this time?"

Noticing Izumi Takumi's gaze, Morishita Kotoko, who had been feeling bored, glanced down at him before looking away.

Is it really okay for you to cross your legs while wearing a skirt?

Izumi Takumi was quite understanding of Morishita Kotoko's disregard.

After all, he couldn't see her before, so she must think that he still can't see her now.

Ignoring the earthbound spirit, Izumi Takumi silently recited "Include" in his mind.

[Inclusion successful!]

[Earthbound Spirit: Kotoko Morishita]

[Details: He died in a car accident while protecting his younger sister. His obsession was to see her one last time and know how she was doing now.]

Favorite things: Eating desserts and gossiping.

Things I dislike: Green peppers, and myself.

Then, Izumi Takumi felt a burning sensation in his eyes, and it took several seconds for the feeling to subside after he closed his eyes.

[The ability to see ghosts has been successfully equipped!]

My eyes, which were originally slightly nearsighted, have returned to normal. I can see things in the distance very clearly, and even the dimly lit storeroom is perfectly visible.

Looking at Kotoko Morishita again, Izumi Takumi noticed that she was surrounded by a faint black aura.

"What is this? Ghostly energy?"

Takumi Izumi's scrutiny finally caught Kotoko Morishita's attention.

She opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Can you see me now?"
