“Huh?”
Yotsuya Miko was speechless. Why would a god say something so unreliable?
At that moment, Yotsuya Miko suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her. She looked up and saw a girl pressing her face against the glass, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at her.
It could only be Yurikawa Hana.
Seeing Miko look over, Yurikawa Hana gave her a bright smile and waved.
“Rikuri-san, I'll think about it,” Yotsuya Miko stood up. “I'll give you my answer tomorrow.”
Rikuri nodded. “Okay. Let’s add each other on Line.”
“Okay.”
Yotsuya Miko took out her phone, added his contact information, and hurried away.
“Miko, is that your boyfriend?”
“No, I just met him today. You don’t know Rikuri-san? You’re in the same class.” Yotsuya Miko sighed, her voice fading into the distance.
Rikuri watched them leave, feeling relieved.
Yotsuya Miko had something to ask for. This Kenzo member was likely secured.
Leaving the coffee shop, he went to the supermarket to buy some groceries and cooked dinner himself.
“When I have more Kenzo, I won’t have to cook myself,” Rikuri mused while cooking. “Then, I can play games all day, have Kenzo cook for me when I'm hungry, and have Kenzo massage me when I'm tired…”
The next day, after school.
“Rikuri-san, please let me be your Kenzo,” Yotsuya Miko looked even more tired, her “salty fish” aura even stronger.
Even though Rikuri wasn't sure if becoming a Kenzo would help him deal with evil spirits, Yotsuya Miko couldn't wait any longer.
She had asked many gods for help, but nothing worked.
Rikuri was her last lifeline.
“Okay,” Rikuri nodded. “Come home with me.”
“Ah?” Yotsuya Miko was startled. “Isn’t that too fast?”
“What are you thinking?” Rikuri was speechless. “I’m just going to bestow the boon on you at home. Just come back with me.”
Yotsuya Miko’s face turned red, a little embarrassed, and she followed behind Rikuri.
Back home.
“Take off your clothes.”
“Ah?”
Yotsuya Miko froze, her cheeks flushed.
Rikuri explained, “The boon mark is on the back, so you need to expose your back. Just lie down on your stomach.”
After saying that, Rikuri entered the room, put away his bag, and only came out after Yotsuya Miko spoke.
“Rikuri-san, I’m ready.”
Rikuri walked over, took out a needle, gently pricked his hand, and a drop of blood immediately appeared on his finger.
He didn’t have divine power yet, but his blood already had divine properties. It was naturally no problem to use it to bestow the boon.
As if by instinct, Rikuri dripped the blood on his finger onto the girl’s back. Instantly, a Tai Chi-like pattern appeared on her back.
In the Dungeon, the Loki Familia’s mark is a jester, and Hestia’s mark is flames, both related to their divine positions.
Actually, the Kenzo mark can be designed by oneself.
Rikuri didn’t have a divine position, but he was deeply influenced by his country's culture, so he designed the Kenzo mark as the Yin and Yang fish.
As the boon mark was imprinted, a series of divine scripts also appeared.
At the same time, with the addition of his first Kenzo, Rikuri felt changes in his body.
A powerful force surged through his body. Looking at the screen, he saw that his divine power value had become 100, and the skill panel had added two new skills: Yin-Yang Eye and Ghost Slayer.
Now, he could use all the skills of Yotsuya Miko, his Kenzo.
Yin-Yang Eye and Ghost Slayer were the skills Yotsuya Miko possessed after receiving the boon.
Besides that, there was a faint plus sign behind the Authority.
With a thought, he got the prompt that it required 10,000 divine power to forge an Authority. No wonder the plus sign was faint, as if it didn't exist.
Knowing that he was far from forging an Authority, Rikuri calmed down, put his own affairs aside, took out paper, and translated Yotsuya Miko’s data, imprinting it onto the paper.
Yotsuya Miko
Lv.1
Strength: I0
Endurance: I0
Dexterity: I0
Agility: I0
Magic: I0
Magic: 【】【】【】
Skills:
【Yin-Yang Eye】
· Spirit Vision
· Evolution
· Increases Magic Growth Speed
【Ghost Slayer】
· Special Attack against all evil spirits
· The more hatred towards ghosts, the higher the damage
The Dungeon boon system classifies ability values into ten levels: I, H…B, A, S, with each level corresponding to 0~99, 100~199…S corresponding to 900~999
Of course, for some extraordinary beings, their ability values can reach SS, SSS, which correspond to 1000~1199, 1200 and above.
It's worth mentioning that, no matter who it is, even a god, the value imprinted by the boon starts from I0.
Because the boon value only records experience value, not physical data.
It’s like creating a new character in a game. Regardless of the class or skills, without any level-ups, the initial experience value is always 0.
“Miko, not bad,” Rikuri praised, handing over the data that he had imprinted. “You have two skills right after the boon is bestowed!”
Yotsuya Miko took it and gradually understood the boon with Rikuri’s explanation.
“What does the evolution of the Yin-Yang Eye mean?” Yotsuya Miko’s hands trembled, unable to believe it.
Rikuri laughed, “It’s just as you thought, the Yin-Yang Eye will become more and more powerful, and you’ll be able to see more and more things.”
Yotsuya Miko instantly turned into a “salty fish”: “It’s too scary. It will keep evolving?”
Even with her current level of the Yin-Yang Eye, she already felt overwhelmed.
Further evolution, her future was bleak.
“It’s not a big deal,” Rikuri smiled, “You now have the ability to slay ghosts. From now on, those evil spirits are your resources, the more the better, why be picky?”
“I just want to live a peaceful life,” Yotsuya Miko sighed. “God, can you step aside for a bit?”
Rikuri nodded, turned around and entered the room, only coming out after Yotsuya Miko had put on her clothes.
“By the way, Miko, since you’ve become a Kenzo, you’ll be in charge of dinner.”
“Hai hai!” Yotsuya Miko rolled her eyes, responding in a perfunctory way.
She had naturally prepared for this. Opening the refrigerator and looking at the ingredients inside, she began thinking about what to cook.
“By the way, God, when are we going to slay evil spirits?” Yotsuya Miko asked while cooking.
Rikuri pondered for a moment, “After dinner. It’s just like a stroll.”
Hearing that, Yotsuya Miko was eager to try.
While Yotsuya Miko was cooking, Rikuri started watching videos and studying martial arts from different countries.
With the essence of a god, learning was naturally beyond what an ordinary person could do. By the time Yotsuya Miko finished cooking, he had already completed the study of Chinese and various other swordsmanship styles. A new skill, [Basic Swordsmanship Mastery], had appeared on his character panel.
“Not bad, a god’s learning ability is truly amazing!”
“God, dinner is ready.” While he was praising, Yotsuya Miko brought the food to the table, and they started eating.
Compared to eating alone, having two people eating together made the dining table much warmer.
Most importantly, Rikuri no longer had to cook for himself, his dream of slacking off and eating was taking shape.
After dinner, Yotsuya Miko was eager to go: “God, can we go out now?”
Rikuri nodded, “Of course. But what about your weapon?”
Yotsuya Miko’s eyes fell on the dining table, she picked up a six-inch fruit knife and said, “Is this okay?”
“It should be fine against ordinary evil spirits,” Rikuri pondered. “Those powerful evil spirits, this probably won’t work. Let’s practice with this fruit knife today.”
He had a new goal in mind: learn forging and make weapons for his Kenzo.
Of course, this was just temporary. In the future, he would definitely have his Kenzo do this themselves.
Thinking of this, Rikuri felt that his dream of slacking off and eating was still a long way off.
