Chiba s.h.i.+ori followed Kazuki as he went out the door .

He glanced at Chiba s.h.i.+ori and knew that she had many questions, but he chose to ignore her . The more one knew about the world, the more dangerous it would become, especially for someone as curious as Chiba s.h.i.+ori . Even after the Akichi High School incident, she remained relentless and sought to uncover the mysterious case . She had no fear and was simply too ambitious .

Kazuki had no doubt that she would get herself killed while investigating these mysteries .

As they exited, she asked, “Is the specter still here?”

“He"s here, he"s here…” But before Kazuki could finish answering, Akie Hanzawa nodded his head furiously . The change in his younger brother had excited him . Unfortunately, Chiba s.h.i.+ori was unable to hear him . He was forcefully returned into the Sun and Moon Sword by Kazuki before he was able to finish his sentence .

“No, he ascended to heaven . ”

“Ascended to heaven? Is there really heaven in this world?” Chiba s.h.i.+ori"s eyes gleamed after hearing the answer . She felt that she would learn more about the world if she followed him . This sensation of acquiring new knowledge was quite intoxicating .

Kazuki remained silent…

Despite that, Chiba s.h.i.+ori did not give up and asked again, “What about the yokai in Akichi High School? Have you dealt with it?”

“No, it"s not something I can resolve on such short notice . ” Nothing in Akichi High School could get pa.s.s Chiba s.h.i.+ori . Thus Kazuki did not hide the incident from her . He relayed to her what Aoki Hidehiro had told him, “Call me if you have any news about Nis.h.i.+yama Chiyoko . ”

“Chiyoko?” Chiba s.h.i.+ori"s eyes glimmered when she heard that name .

Her unusual reaction made Kazuki stop as he stared at Chiba s.h.i.+ori . He asked, “Do you know her?”

“I"m in a chat group for light novel writers, and one of them uses Chiyoko as the pen name…”

Kazuki felt disappointed and helpless when he heard her reply . Chiyoko was a common name and could be easily found everywhere in j.a.pan, much less a pen name .

As if feeling Kazuki"s disappointment, Chiba s.h.i.+ori continued, “This person claimed that she was a high school teacher in the group chat… But they quit because the pay was too low . ”

“Which school?” Kazuki became serious after hearing that . The person used Chiyoko as a pen name was a teacher, and had resigned… Even if it were a coincidence, he would need to handle it meticulously and not miss any thread of possibility .

“I don"t know . She never mentioned it . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori shook her head . The group chat was merely for casual conversation . Everyone in it was a netizen and would not divulge too much of their personal information online . “But the "Light Novel s.p.a.ce" group will be holding a meeting next weekend in Akihabara . I"m not really interested in attending it… but I will sign up if you"re still suspicious of this Chiyoko . ”

“Just invite me into the group…” Kazuki groaned . “I will sign up myself later . ”

“You can"t . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori smirked, “You need to be in the group for at least half a year to sign up . ”

Kazuki stared at her . She must have a way for him to follow along since she said it in such a manner .

“You can act as my chaperone when we go to Akihabara . There is no need to sign up . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori blinked and declared, “It is very dangerous for me to go out alone since I am so beautiful . The people from the group will understand . ”

Kazuki gazed at Chiba s.h.i.+ori"s flawlessly exquisite face and nodded, “Alright . ”

“Well then, shouldn"t you tell me something about the paranormal as an exchange?” she replied as her eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation .

Kazuki remained silent…

Chiba s.h.i.+ori felt disappointed, but she did not inquire further . She believed that she could make Kazuki speak about it when they become closer .

Kazuki then spoke, “Actually, I suggest you not to dig too much into this . The more you know… the more curious you will be and the more danger you will be in… As a normal person, you are weak and can easily die if you meet something paranormal . I believe you haven"t forgotten about the incident in Akichi High School . ”

Even after giving her three Ghost Expelling Talismans in Akichi High School, Chiba s.h.i.+ori still fainted on the way back . Meanwhile, Nakagawa Aokiji only had a fever but recovered a day later after taking some medicine .

“I have already signed up for an annual members.h.i.+p in the "Sakura Fitness Club . " I will try to improve my health as soon as possible . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori knew that her stamina was lacking . Thus, she had joined the fitness club before meeting Kazuki again .

After training for about a week, she could feel her stamina improving . Previously, she would be gasping for air and almost fainted after running a lap in the physical education cla.s.s .

Thus, Kazuki decided to tell her . Since she wanted to know about it, he would inform her how dangerous the world was .

“There are only a few Soul Cultivators in the world…”

Kazuki explained about reiki, Soul Cultivators, yokai, and spirits on their way to the subway station . Finally, he shared, “I attended Akihide High School to help Akie Hanzawa complete his obsessiveness and help him ascend to heaven . ”

“So, there really is a heaven?” Chiba s.h.i.+ori inquired again .

“Because I"m not dead yet . ” Kazuki decided to be frank for once and admitted, “So I"m not sure if it exists either . ”

“Is Akie Hanzawa"s obsessiveness related to Mikito Hanzawa?”

“Indeed… Akie Hanzawa"s obsessiveness is for Mikito Hanzawa to be independent and self-reliant . ” Kazuki uttered, “A specter is usually formed when it has an obsessiveness in its heart . Obsessiveness is extremely bizarre, but it also allows the specter to remain in the human realm . The specter could only ascend to heaven after fulfilling its obsessiveness . However, they might transform into a wraith and endanger the human realm if they linger for too long . ”

From Kazuki"s understanding, a wraith was a demon that was specialized in spiritual attacks . But for the j.a.panese, a wraith was just a demon… so he told Chiba s.h.i.+ori in a way that she could comprehend . He did not disclose to her that helping a specter ascend to heaven will elevate one"s abilities, he couldn"t be asked with questions .

On their way there, Chiba s.h.i.+ori kept on questioning Kazuki, and he revealed to her everything he knew . When they reached the station, she felt like she had opened the door to a new world .

As Kazuki walked into the station, Chiba s.h.i.+ori gazed at his back, her eyes gleaming with joy .
