"Thank you."
Toyokawa Shoko walked over and said, "He was the one who teased you, but you thanked him. You've been humiliated by him. You should fight back!"
Luo Zhen glanced at her sideways: "You maid have no sense at all. You're not even as sensible as Doro. You made me help the guest up when he fell down."
Shoko Toyokawa smiled and said, "I thought you liked this style, and I was afraid of bothering you."
"Slandering the boss is an even more serious offense; your salary will be deducted!"
Toyokawa Shoko's smile remained unchanged: "Do you want shares in the Toyokawa family?"
If I actually said I wanted to marry you, wouldn't you explode?
Yotsuya Miko felt a pang of unease watching the two bicker, as if she were trying to interfere. Fortunately, Rōzō had already turned her attention away.
"Jianzi, you should already understand the purpose of our commission hut. Please tell me what you need."
Yotsuya Miko took out her wallet. She came from an ordinary family and didn't have much money: "I want to buy some magical artifacts that can stop evil spirits from bothering me. Do you have any that are cheaper?"
He certainly had talismans to ward off evil spirits. Although he didn't have any now, it would be easy to get two from Kikyo. However, Luo Zhen didn't intend to dismiss Yin Qi Liu = Er Jiu Wao Yotsuya Miko so easily.
First, he really liked Yotsuya Miko, and second, he triggered the corresponding request.
[Yotsuya Miko's request: People live for peace of mind, and Yotsuya Miko hopes to find peace of mind in a world full of evil spirits.]
[Reward for entrustment: Determined based on Yotsuya Miko's level of trust]
Luo Zhen said, "We have a professional exorcist here. Why don't you have her come with you to take a look?"
"May I?"
Yotsuya Miko was a little embarrassed, "I probably can't afford that much money."
"It doesn't matter, ordinary currency is not very meaningful to us."
Luo Zhen led her to the world of Inuyasha and found Kikyo.
Yotsuya Miko looked around in amazement at the rather primitive village, completely devoid of modern facilities, and only then did she truly grasp the reality of this different world.
Did she really arrive in another world?
With Yotsuya Miko's keen eyesight, she looked around and found not a single evil spirit, which greatly increased her sense of security.
After Luo Zhen explained his purpose, Kikyo said, "As a shrine maiden, it is my duty to exorcise evil spirits. However, Miss Yotsuya was born with the ability to see spirits. Although I can seal her, it is only a temporary solution."
She looked at Yotsuya Miko: "Would you like to train with me? You have a natural ability to see spirits, which is a good prospect. If you succeed in your training, you will be able to eliminate those evil spirits on your own."
"Is it really possible?"
Yotsuya Miko was clearly tempted. If she could have a powerful shrine maiden as her teacher, then it wouldn't be that she was afraid of evil spirits, but that evil spirits would be afraid of her.
Having been traumatized by the evil spirits, she had long wanted to crush them all, but unfortunately, she was too weak and powerless to do so.
"Let me go check on your place first."
Kikyo said gently, "Theoretically speaking, you should also have exorcists like shrine maidens, sorcerers, or onmyoji on your side."
Luo Zhen brought them to the world where Yotsuya Miko lived, and Kikyo frowned slightly:
"Such a strong ominous aura, this area is almost as if it has been polluted."
What she saw was all sorts of evil spirits roaming around, making the human world seem like a ghost realm.
"Can you see it?"
"Can't you see it?"
An evil spirit wandered over and targeted the group. Just as it approached, Kikyo casually flicked her spiritual energy and completely purified it.
"There are many of them, but the intensity is very low."
So handsome!
Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up. This was it! Killing evil spirits with ease—she wanted to learn this!
Kikyo, accompanied by Yotsuya Miko, rampaged through the area, easily eliminating a large number of evil spirits without needing a second attack. The spirit bow on her back was never used; she could clear the area with just basic attacks.
"Although there are many evil spirits in the city, their strength is relatively low."
Kikyo gazed into the distance and said, "There is a deep evil aura in the mountains over there, and powerful evil spirits may be hiding there. You'd better not go to remote mountains."
"I understand, Master."
Yotsuya Miko nodded obediently. In this world full of dangers, she couldn't care less about being reserved. All she wanted to do was immediately cling to Kikyo's sweet and soft thigh.
Luo Zhen was also very happy because he had only acted as a go-between and completed a task without having to put in any effort.
This shows that delegation can be outsourced; he can delegate the work to others and receive rewards while sitting at home.
Unfortunately, it's in the early stages of development, and he doesn't have that many people.
[Miko Yotsuya's request has been completed; your reward is being calculated.]
[Your sense of security with Yotsuya Miko has reached its maximum, and you have received the reward: the Ten Thousand Soul Banner]
【The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls: It can absorb and imprison souls, and the imprisoned souls cannot disobey the banner master's commands】
Volume 1: Chapter 27 - Yotsuya Miko Refines Her Old Father
Dude, where did you get this from? Is this still anime?
Luo Zhen looked at the reward and couldn't hold back his emotions.
I am a righteous gentleman, why would you give me an evil magic weapon? And if you did, it's so weak. You could have given me a Six Soul Banner instead.
But Luo Zhen had nothing to say. The style of the reward actually matched the world of Yotsuya Miko quite well, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
It's just not presentable.
Having obtained this magical artifact, Luo Zhen naturally mastered its usage. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not of high quality, and the number and quality of souls it could hold were limited. To upgrade its quality, one had to capture souls and put them into the artifact to nurture it, as well as perform blood sacrifices and collect various precious materials to fuse into it.
However, for Luo Zhen, there's no need to go to such lengths; he can simply use a commission crystal instead.
And speaking of souls, isn't this world teeming with evil spirits? They're practically high-quality human souls.
Looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Luo Zhen suddenly had a bold idea.
The world in ruins is saved.
If I kill everyone in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, put them into the Emperor's Banner, and then run away with the Emperor's Banner, wouldn't they be spared from dying at the end?
The same applies to the continent of Terra. All sorts of world-ending endings, such as the world-ending caused by demons, the world-ending caused by the Sea Heirs, the world-ending caused by the Demon King Amiya freezing the timeline, and even the world-ending caused by lumberjacks that even the previous civilization could not overcome, can be avoided by entering his Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
This shouldn't be called the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, which saves humanity from countless worlds. Calling it the Banner of the Human Emperor wouldn't be an exaggeration, would it?
Luo Zhen took out the Human Emperor Banner and handed it to Yotsuya Miko:
"Do me a favor. After you finish your cultivation, when you're dealing with evil spirits, collect them all into this Emperor's Banner."
"Human Emperor Banner?"
Yotsuya Miko – what a grand name! She looks like someone special.
"Is it alright for me to keep such a precious thing? What if someone else steals it?"
"Don't worry, even if they steal it, no one else can use it."
The items that the system rewards Luo Zhen with will automatically be bound to Luo Zhen and cannot be used without Luo Zhen's permission.
"If you can't beat them, run away and call for backup, understand?"
Yotsuya Miko nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
Kikyo, standing nearby, immediately recognized that this was not a proper magical artifact. Dense yin energy swirled around it, but there was no bloody smell, so it didn't seem to have undergone any bloody rituals. Therefore, she didn't say anything.
Yotsuya Miko waved the Emperor's Banner, and black smoke billowed out. She hesitated for a moment, wondering, "Why is the Emperor's Banner emitting black smoke?"
"That's the purple aura coming from the east."
Luo Zhen explained, "The purple aura was so concentrated that it turned black."
"So that's it."
Yotsuya Miko seemed to understand, but with Kikyo's help, she quickly subdued the first evil spirit using the Human Emperor Banner.
"Wow, amazing! No wonder it's called the Emperor's Banner."
Yotsuya Miko discovered that the once ferocious evil spirits, after she activated the Human Emperor Banner, were like mice seeing a cat; not only did they not dare to rush forward, but they even tried to run away.
Unfortunately, they couldn't escape at all and could only be collected into the banner, becoming Yotsuya Miko's henchmen.
"They can even be used to fight enemies."
Yotsuya Miko releases the subdued evil spirits, which obey her commands to attack other evil spirits and forcibly pull those wild evil spirits into the Human Emperor Banner.
She excitedly waved the Emperor's Banner, and the originally fearsome evil spirits began to fear her.
Luo Zhen reminded him, "The Human Emperor Banner is not of a high enough grade right now, and it has a limited capacity. If it gets full of evil spirits, remember to give it to me and I will upgrade its grade."
He doesn't need to lift a finger; Yotsuya Miko will naturally fill the Emperor Banner for him. All he needs to do is obtain more commissions, accumulate commission crystals, and upgrade the Emperor Banner.
Kikyo said, "It's very abnormal that there are so many evil spirits here. It's possible that there's a problem with the operation of the Underworld. I'll help you investigate."
Kikyo was able to open the gates of hell in her world and planned to try to explore the underworld of this world.
"Thank you so much, Master."
Yotsuya Miko was deeply moved. She never expected that Kikyo would help her go to this extent, investigating the Land of the Dead, which sounded very dangerous.
"And the store manager."
She bowed to Luo Zhen, saying, "I really don't know what I would have done without you."
Yotsuya Miko said firmly, "I will definitely help you fill the Emperor's Banner as soon as possible!"
Full of enthusiasm, with Kikyo's help, Yotsuya Miko gathers many evil spirits.
However, when she passed by her own house, Miko Yotsuya paused for a moment.
Her father died on the morning of his death. He stole her pudding. Yotsuya Miko was very angry and refused to accept her father's apology. As a result, her father was in a car accident.
Her father's spirit is now in her house, greeting her every day. Yotsuya Miko doesn't dare to respond at all, fearing that if she does, her father will turn into the evil spirits outside and reveal a hideous appearance.
But now you don't have to worry about that anymore.
Yotsuya Miko looked at the Emperor Banner in her hand. She had already tested it, and even evil spirits could maintain their sanity after being captured. It truly lived up to its reputation as the shopkeeper's treasure.
