Chapter 95 Ling: I want to create one...
"Well... Ling, can you walk with me for a while?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Of course, I'll take you back."
Hayasaka Ai turned and looked seriously at Uchiha Ryo. "Ryo-kun, you said you were a tiger today, but the massive Shinomiya family... is like a missile."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Do you really think a whole tiger can't beat a missile? It's a whole tiger, after all!"
Hayasaka Ai blinked. "Could a tiger be stronger than a missile? How is that possible..."
Uchiha Lingyi said righteously, "That's where you're wrong! First of all, comparing the strength of different things requires using a variety of data for comparison, you understand that, right?"
Hayasaka Ai nodded.
This is easy to understand. For example, between a cheetah and a bison, if you only compare speed, the cheetah is definitely the better one, but if you only compare weight, the bison is the better one. But to determine which one is stronger, you have to compare all aspects, not just look at one attribute.
Uchiha Ryo analyzed: "In the first round, Tiger's jumping ability is three meters, while the missile's jumping ability without external force is 0. Tiger wins."
"In the second round, the tiger's bite force was about 450 kilograms, while the missile's bite force was 0, giving the tiger another advantage."
Hayasaka Ai was a little confused. "Wait...shouldn't we compare their strengths when they're grouped together?"
Uchiha Ryo raised his third finger.
"Alright, then the third round will be a real battle. The missile exploded and killed the tiger, resulting in both competitors dying together."
Therefore, the final outcome of the Tiger vs. Missile match was that the Tiger won two games and drew one, thus securing the ultimate victory!
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
Uchiha Ryo laughed heartily, "Just kidding. But you compared a tiger to a human, and a missile to the power of the Shinomiya family. Never underestimate the strength of humans! Or rather... never underestimate me!"
.....
After finally getting Hayasaka Ai home, Uchiha Ryo couldn't wait to go home and see what exactly this system reward of "[Any Ability Upgrade One Stage]" was all about.
When can't we watch Hayasaka Ai's school uniform changes? We'll talk about it next time!
"Um?"
Under the moonlight, Uchiha Ryo's figure suddenly turned into a wisp of white smoke. When he opened his eyes again, a young man with his right eye covered by a talisman appeared in front of him.
Yanyun jumped onto Uchiha Ryo's shoulder. "I used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon you here. This man has a lot of energy, and he also took Natsume away."
"They took Natsume away?"
Uchiha Ryo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the long-haired man in a suit in front of him, the three tomoe in his pupils already slowly rotating.
"Oh my, this cat-like yokai's ability is quite unique. It even has the ability to teleport? But please don't unleash your killing intent. I didn't take Natsume-san away. Rather... I'm simply inviting Natsume-san to my place for a get-together."
In the courtyard not far away, Natsume suddenly ran over, carrying Nyanko-sensei.
"Brother Ling! So the trump card Yanyun was talking about was being able to call you over? That's great!"
Upon seeing Natsume, Uchiha Ryo finally softened his tone. "Didn't you say you didn't want to get involved in this world? Who is that guy? An Onmyoji or an exorcist?"
Natsume smiled awkwardly, "I can't help it. What if he does something reckless at home if I don't go with him? Aunt Touko and Uncle Shigeru are still at home."
This is indeed a problem. Even Uchiha Ryo would find it difficult to fight monsters or exorcists in residential areas. It would be easier to deal with ordinary people, as a single genjutsu could handle it.
Ultimately, however, the essence of illusion is to use chakra to interfere with the opponent's mind and five senses. Those with strong mental strength are somewhat immune to illusion.
"You must be Natsume's sworn brother, Uchiha Ryo, right? I don't know why I was blocked by the Shinomiya Zaibatsu when I was investigating information about you, but you're clearly on our side, just like Natsume, aren't you?"
The young man smiled. "My name is Matoba Seiji, and I'm the head of the Matoba sect of exorcists. And what I've been investigating recently... is the frequent murders of exorcists."
Uchiha Ryo shielded Natsume behind him.
"So what does this have to do with us? In the end, we are just ordinary people who can see monsters. This is your business as exorcists."
Seiji sighed.
"Well, let me finish first... According to the investigation by the Toba family, the main culprit seems to be someone within the exorcists' ranks. What's even more troublesome is that... that person is likely being controlled by an evil spirit."
Evil spirit....
Seiji looked at the two people and the two cats, "Next week I will be holding a gathering of exorcists from all over Tokyo. I hope you two can do me the honor."
Natsume frowned.
"Will the mastermind behind this come too? Gathering people together without knowing the enemy, and without knowing who might be attacked, isn't that very dangerous?!"
Seiji Matoba said seriously, "That's why I had to bring it out at this gathering... That's how I found many people like you who aren't professional exorcists but have the ability to help."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Are you done talking? Then let's go, Natsume. Let the exorcists handle their own affairs; there's no need to get involved."
Natsume nodded. "Then let's go home."
Seiji Matoba watched the two figures walk away. "This isn't a request, it's a commission. We're inviting you, who are not exorcists, to help us, so naturally we'll have to pay a price."
Uchiha Ryo stopped in his tracks.
"You should have said this from the beginning, Master of the field."
Matoba Seiji smiled. "Because Natsume doesn't seem like such a self-serving person, I wanted to invite him with genuine feelings."
You're just trying to get something for nothing by looking at our Natsume's gentle nature, aren't you...?
Uchiha Ryo patted Natsume on the shoulder, "You go back first, I'll go talk to this guy who called himself Toba."
"Brother Ling..."
Turning back to Matoba Seiji, Uchiha Ryo crossed his arms. "I don't care for your demon-slaying treasures or money. If you need my help... you should be able to contact reclusive Onmyoji, right? I'd like to see their power."
.....
At Natsume's house, Fujiwara Touko was preparing dinner downstairs, while Natsume sat in Uchiha Ryo's room with Nyanko-sensei, looking at him with some concern.
"You agreed to that strange guy's offer? Won't you be in danger...?"
Uchiha Ryo turned to look out the window. A gentle breeze blew in, and a bright green leaf drifted in and landed on Uchiha Ryo's hand.
"Natsume, have you ever thought about your dreams?"
Natsume: "My...dream?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Actually, my dream is very simple: to live a peaceful, comfortable, and sexually fulfilling life."
Natsume didn't speak. Who wouldn't want a peaceful and tranquil life? But since birth, because he could see yokai, he had drifted further and further away from such a life.
Uchiha Ryo: "I really like the daily life of the Fujiwara family. Aunt Touko prepares a sumptuous meal for us every day, and Uncle Shigeru, although much older than us, still chats with us."
"But there's a very important problem: they're all ordinary people... while we're born different. Your Book of Friends will keep attracting yokai, and even with Nyanko-sensei's protection, you'll still be frequently harassed by them."
Natsume scratched his head. Sometimes, Nyanko-sensei would forget to rescue others because he was drunk, but thankfully, there was always Enun. However, even with the protection of two cats, Natsume would still occasionally encounter those malicious yokai.
Uchiha Ryo gripped the leaf in his hand tightly.
"Therefore, I want to create a world where humans and monsters truly live in peace!"
