“That... Yuu? Is, is that you?”
Standing behind Nakano Yuu, looking at the youth who seemed like a god, though filled with a sense of security, she still couldn't believe this was her sworn brother.
“Who else would it be?”
Hearing this, Nakano Yuu smiled and asked back. He remembered when he told Nino he had superpowers, she said he had a case of middle school syndrome. Seeing Nino's shocked expression now, Nakano Yuu felt a little smug.
“This... is a bit too unbelievable.”
Hearing that familiar tone, Nino finally felt at ease. She grabbed Nakano Yuu's sleeve, whispering softly.
“There’s even more unbelievable things.”
Nino's voice naturally couldn't escape Nakano Yuu's ears. To this, the young man simply smiled lightly and said nothing more.
“Nino, I’ll deal with that thing first, and then I’ll take you home.”
Nakano Yuu said, pulling Nino's hand away from his sleeve.
“Okay, Yuu... be careful.”
Nino dropped Nakano Yuu's sleeve, her expression seemed a little empty, but she still reminded Nakano Yuu to be careful.
To this, Nakano Yuu just returned a reassuring smile, then picked up Jouga Yūsu and walked towards Shiroi.
Looking at the monster, whose head had been chopped in half by his sword, exposing white flesh, blood and wriggling maggots to the air, it was clear that it was already seriously injured. Nakano Yuu's eyes flashed with killing intent.
He had originally just considered today's task as a routine thing, but he didn't expect that this time it would involve Nino’s safety. If he hadn't arrived in time today, Nino would have died because of this boring curse.
“Shiroi, in order to prevent people from forgetting the existence of the Blindfolded Village, her obsession turned into a curse, becoming an evil spirit.”
Nakano Yuu softly spoke of Shiroi's origin, and at the same time, the rune light surrounding the young man burst forth, with ultimate killing intent directed at Shiroi.
“Ding-a-ling!!”
Sensing the killing intent, Shiroi, ignoring the half of her head on the ground, frantically tried to escape, but for some reason, her ethereal body, which could normally ignore terrain, was completely out of control.
The fear from the depths of her soul made Shiroi unable to move, as if before her was the great terror of this world, or even, a madman who dared to cross the gods!
“What an ugly thing you are.”
Looking coldly at Shiroi’s actions, Nakano Yuu spat out with disgust. The moment the words fell, golden light flashed again in the darkness.
That strike, carrying Nakano Yuu's killing intent, cut Shiroi's body in half, turning it into a puddle of rotten flesh. The copper bell that echoed through the mist also turned to dust under Nakano Yuu's attack.
Nakano Yuu's strike even affected the alleyway, leaving a deep ditch.
Seeing this, Nakano Yuu pouted. This time, it was due to hatred, and he couldn’t control his strength. Usually, he wouldn’t leave any trace behind.
Fortunately, he was rational enough not to use all his strength, otherwise, Tokyo would be divided into east and west Tokyo from now on.
After obliterating Shiroi, Nakano Yuu raised his hand, and the holy sword, Jouga Yūsu, disappeared into the air. The golden light surrounding the young man gradually dissipated.
At the same time, Nakano Yuu's ears were filled with the system’s voice:
【Ding! Congratulations host on completing the daily task: “Curse Spirit”, gaining a reward: +1 Roulette Spin!】
That’s right, Nakano Yuu has a system!
Strictly speaking, a system is a standard for people like Nakano Yuu, also known as the common term of “transmigrators.”
Only Nakano Yuu’s transmigration is more like reincarnation, appearing in this world as an infant. But he was parentless.
Luckily, he met Nakano Rina, and was adopted by Rina and Nakano Maruo. He grew up with the five sisters, and became part of the Nakano family.
After giving him the [Ten Great Powers of the Military God] and the holy sword [Jouga Yūsu] as newbie package, the system fell into sleep, only to awaken recently, half a month ago.
After waking up, there’s no other use, only a roulette spin and a mission panel. The mission panel is refreshed with exorcism missions, and completing missions earns roulette spins. The roulette can draw rewards, from various main gods of all pantheons to cute girl’s panties, everything is there.
Nakano Yuu doesn’t want to draw right now. He has nine spins accumulated now, and he’s planning to save up ten spins and draw a ten-pull. Maybe this system has a guaranteed mechanism he doesn’t know about.
Mostly, Nakano Yuu’s luck isn’t very good. For such a long time, most of the things he drew by single spin were some uneven amounts of Japanese Yen. The more outrageous ones included Mikuni’s just-taken-off stockings.
Speaking of this kind of stuff, Nakano Yuu gets angry. Is he that kind of person?
The system gives him this kind of reward, isn't it clearly looking down on him?
Is he the kind of person who would jump his sisters?
Hiss~ Maybe, not impossible?
He shook his head, Nakano Yuu stopped thinking about those twisted thoughts, and turned to face Nakano Nino.
At this time, Nakano Nino was with her mouth open, her fair face flushed slightly, as if it was caused by excitement. Seeing Nino’s shocked look, Nakano Yuu clapped his hands.
“Clap clap.”
“It’s done, let’s go, Nino. We’re going home.”
Walking toward Nino, Nakano Yuu said, and took the dessert box that Nino had been carrying from her stunned hands.
“Huh? This is… sweets from Shichijuuya?”
Seeing the Shichijuuya logo on the dessert box, Nakano Yuu raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise.
He seemed to have said he wanted to eat Shichijuuya mochi or something this morning.
He didn’t remember any Shichijuuya shops on Nino’s way home when he sent her to the story conference. Did she specifically take a detour to buy it?
“Ah?! That is... Yuu said you wanted to eat it, so I, thought it was on the way so, I bought one.”
Still in shock, Nino saw Nakano Yuu take the dessert box at some point, and quickly came to her senses, hurriedly explaining.
Hearing this, Nakano Yuu was stunned, but looking at that shy expression, he didn’t choose to break it, but reached out and touched Nino’s head, with the demeanor of a brother, saying:
“Thanks for your trouble, Nino. I appreciate it.”
Feeling the warm touch on her head, Nino’s cheeks flushed inexplicably. But after enjoying it for a while, Nino suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly taking a step back:
“Wait! I’m clearly older than you, why can Yuu touch my head like a brother?!”
“We don’t know who’s older yet, so, if Nino doesn’t agree, you can touch my head too.”
Hearing Nakano Yuu’s words, Nino puffed up her cheeks, still not convinced, and immediately reached out to touch Nakano Yuu’s head.
Seeing this, the young man didn’t dodge, letting Nino put her hand on his head.
Feeling the young man's soft hair, Nino could even smell the fragrance of the young man’s shampoo.
Looking at Nakano Yuu, Nino’s eyes gradually became a little blurry. Under the moonlight, Nino took a step forward.
