Truth is everywhere within range

Follow the direction Qiao Qiao points.

Of course, only a dark mountain forest can be seen.

"Teacher, stop guessing."

Ariko Asano shook Qiao Qiao's arm.

"The layout of this village is very strange."

"In the center of the village, it is not a public facility, but a residential building. The damage to this building is very serious, and there are problems no matter how you look at it."

"What do you mean, teacher?"

Ariko Asano had some guesses.

"Well, that building itself is a source of resentment, and the arrangement of other sources of resentment in the building is actually to cover up this fact."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"I'm afraid there is some distortion of the information, which matches the blind spots of the witches' thinking, so they have ignored this building."

"real or fake?"

Arai Takashi frowned slightly.

According to Qiao Qiao, in order to detect the source of this resentment, in addition to understanding weird knowledge, you also need to have a certain understanding of the layout of the village. This is completely beyond the scope of the assessment of removing spirits.

"ah"

Is this the super class?

Arai Takashi was speechless again.

In addition to the knowledge of exorcism, will the exorcist martial arts really consider other things this time?

No, no, no, maybe this guy is just making up nonsense.

Takashi Arai looked up at the commentary desk, which was currently announcing the last source of resentment that had not yet been found.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang, I didn't expect the answer to be the building located in the center of the village. This is a large source of resentment. It uses special settings and can easily be ignored subconsciously."

"Indeed, Nishimoto-san, we didn't notice it at first."

"?"

Are you serious?

Arai Takashi looked at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao was taking out the bill from his wallet and looked over.

"The odds seem to be 2.9, right?"

He said to Arai Takashi.

The Gion Festival was still going on, but Qiao Qiao didn't go out again.

While the shrine maidens at Shimogamo Shrine were busy with the festival, Qiao Qiao carefully studied the videos and information on previous years' spirit-killing exercises at home during the day, and took the subway to Mount Hiei to watch them at night.

I don’t know if it’s because of the recorded video, but there weren’t many viewers at Mount Hiei. It was good to see the big shrine, but at the small shrine, basically only my own family members were there to support me, which was a bit miserable.

Of course, there are bookmakers like Takashi Arai.

From Takashi Arai, Qiao Qiao learned a lot of relevant "inside information."

July 20, Saturday, cloudy.

The day after "Weathering With You" was released, the animated film performed well at the box office due to the popularity of its predecessor.

Qiao Qiao didn't have time to look at it yet.

At five o'clock in the morning, Qiao Qiao's alarm clock woke him up.

Starting today, the witches will officially enter the training process.

Originally, Qiao Qiao planned to train in the backyard of the shrine, but later he changed the place because of the coming and going of visitors to the shrine and practicing shooting might cause trouble to others.

Matsuzaki Nishiyama is located on the north side of Kyoto City. The most famous thing is that during the annual Obon Festival, a bonfire in the shape of a wonderful method will be burned during the five mountains fire ceremony. The word "Miao" on Matsuzaki Nishiyama is "Miao", while the word "Miao" on Higashiyama is " Law".

It is less than three kilometers away from Shimogamo Shrine and has a good natural environment and scenery. It is the best place for training.

"Qiao, Qiao Sang, wait a minute."

Hashimoto Kotone gasped for air and ran hard at the end of the team.

She was not wearing a miko uniform, but the school's sports uniform. She was running on the streets of Kyoto at six in the morning. Passers-by looked over from time to time, but most of them thought it was a club activity at a nearby school.

The other four witches also wore their own sportswear, lined up, and ran with Qiao Qiao.

In the morning, after breakfast, they went for a run to Matsuzaki Nishiyama.

"What are you talking about? When the evil spirit appears, will you let it wait?"

Qiao Qiao kept running and shouted loudly.

"Since you still have the strength to speak, that means you can continue running, Hashimoto-san, keep running and don't stop!"

After hearing Qiao Qiao's words and looking at the other miko who were gradually moving away, Hashimoto Kotone could only keep up despite her eyesight being dim.

Matsuzaki West Mountain, in an open field.

Several mikos were panting, and Hashimoto Kotone even ignored the weeds on the ground and lay down directly.

"This is our training schedule for the next period of time."

Qiao Qiao didn't know where he got a blackboard with all the forms on it.

"In the first week, I got up at five o'clock every morning, ran and gathered here before 6:30. In the morning, I did physical fitness and close combat training, and in the afternoon, I did firearms training. In the evening, I went to Mount Hiei to watch the spirit-killing performance. Then I went back Then I spent half an hour writing a training summary.”

"Starting from the second week, in addition to the regular training in the first week, there will also be additional special training for each person's responsible position."

"In the third and fourth weeks, we will live directly in Matsuzaki Nishiyama for wilderness survival training and final overnight stay."

"Huh? Live, live here?"

Kitagawa Ryoko looked at the surrounding environment.

Although there is a patch of green, there is only a patch of green.

This is a place deep in the mountains, where even mobile phone signals are almost non-existent.

Not to mention a convenience store, there's not even a toilet to be found.

How is it possible for people who have experienced modern civilization for more than ten years to live here?

"Besides, forget about firearms and so on, why do you still need to train in fighting?"

Nanase spoke early.

"Do you think you will only face disembodied resentful spirits in the future? If the resentful spirits are lodged in the armor of the Yinghua Village, or on ordinary humans, then you will need close combat techniques to control each other."

Qiao Qiao said.

"Not to mention there are monsters whose physiques are several times stronger than ordinary people. If you don't exercise well and learn relevant techniques, you will have no way to protect yourself when facing monsters."

"Qiao Sang, no matter what, monsters are still to us"

Sasaki Haruka said with a bitter smile.

"There is a Chinese proverb."

Qiao Qiao ignored Haruka Sasaki's complaints.

“A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body.”

"Training these is not only for removing spirits, but also for everyone to maintain a firm will at all times."

"The era of genius exterminators with weak bodies and super spiritual powers has passed."

"But, if we stay together here, it's over there at the shrine."

There are only five shrine maidens in Shimogamo Shrine. If they all stay in Matsuzaki Nishiyama, then there will be no shrine maidens to receive tourists, which is not good no matter how you look at it.

Maki Araki didn't want to see the shrine go bankrupt after she returned from a sleepover.

"It doesn't matter. I have already considered this situation, so I found temporary workers."

Qiao Qiao replied.

Inside Shimogamo Shrine.

"Why is Suzuka doing these things in Kyoto?"

Looking at Ariko Asano who was moving out of the guard in the distance, Suzuka, who was wearing a red and white miko uniform, suddenly sneezed.
