Part-Time Witch Higurashi
Chapter 2
When Midori Shintaro rushed to the apartment where Huang Se was temporarily staying, he saw that the apartment door was wide open. Huang Se was leaning against the living room window, holding a business card in his hand with a yearning look on his face. His eyes were empty, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, he jumped up in realization. "I remember now!
The intern I met this afternoon! "
Midori was speechless.
He turned around and left.
"Little Midori?
Little Midori, don't go!
Little Midori, you came to find me because you were worried about me, right?! "A blonde teenager immediately ran over with tears in his eyes.
Midori Shintaro glanced at Huang Se and turned his head away. "No, I was just passing by on my night run."
Huang Se said in a low voice, "Who would go on a night run at this time..."
Midori paused and became angry out of humiliation. He sneered, "It's better than some people who don't sleep in the middle of the night and make noise on the phone."
"I, I'm not lying to you." Huang Se wanted to cry but had no tears. "There really were ghouls just now. The whole house was full of ghouls!
I was going to be eaten by ghouls! "
Midori pushed his glasses up and looked at Huang Se. "Give me a reason why you are standing here in one piece."
"Because I met a very powerful Onmyoji, a barrier master, and a girl with long black hair who can summon shikigami and bring little paper men to life to help repair houses!"
Huang Ase's eyes sparkled as she exaggeratedly gestured a square. "I even stood inside the barrier she created, and I even saw the legendary Ghost Woman Hongye!"
Seeing Midori's obvious suspicion, Huang Se showed off the business card in his hand to Midori. "She even gave me a business card!
She's my colleague! "
Huang Ase, who was in high spirits, didn't even think about the fact that he didn't pay any attention to this girl in the afternoon.
She had even been so embarrassed that she had fainted from fright by the ghoul and had been sent to the apartment by her agent.
Midori glanced at the business card and vaguely saw 'Sunset Shrine' and that familiar name on the business card. Her expression changed.
"The Sunset Shrine," he said slowly, "I'll take you there tomorrow."
"The one you saw should be my classmate, Kanna Hyuga."

Kanna Hyuga squinted her eyes. She slowly took off the sarong on her body and changed into her home clothes.
She casually tidied up her messy long hair and stared at her hair in the mirror. She stared blankly for a long time.
A pair of fair and slender hands held her long hair from behind and gently combed it with a comb.
Kanai did not turn her head. She leaned on the chest of the person behind her, opened her eyes slightly, and yawned. "It's okay. I'll go downstairs and make coffee."
Hong Ye hugged her master, who hadn't slept the entire night, with some heartache. She couldn't help but grumble, "Who asked you to save that West Village? Even if that woman wasn't haunted by zombies, she still emitted a foul stench."
After leaving Huang Se's house last night, the two of them who received Virgin's call for help went straight to Nana Nishimura's house. As soon as they entered the door, they were besieged by a terrifying number of ghouls. In order to survive, Nana Nishimura actually pushed Kanai into the house to face the ghouls. She turned around and fled.
Hong Ye didn't care about monsters like ghouls at all.
However, there were too many of them, so the two of them were busy for most of the night.
It was not until the sun rose that Kanai, Virgin, and Red Leaf finished their work and returned to the shrine.
"What happens to her has nothing to do with me," Kanna Hyuga said lightly. "But there are ghouls wreaking havoc in this world. We can't just ignore them."
"Anyway, I don't like it when you stay up all night because of that kind of woman." Gui Nu Red Leaf's face was gloomy and a little aggrieved. "Just leave this kind of thing to that annoying ghoul!"
Kanai had to appease her Spirit-branded Retainer for a long time before Red Leaf was finally appeased.
She went downstairs and was about to enter the kitchen when she saw Virgin, who looked like a yellow goose chick, looking at her uneasily.
"Kanai -sama … Um, someone came to visit."
Actually, the two humans had arrived half an hour ago and stood in front of the shrine for a long time. Virgin wanted her master to rest more, so she did not inform her master in time.
Kanna thought about it for a moment and understood when she saw how guilty Natsuya was. She smiled and patted Natsuya's head.
Her parents had gone on a trip abroad, so she cleaned the shrine at a fixed time every morning and received people who came to visit.
Since it was a working day, not many people came to visit and make wishes.
When she opened the door, she found the blonde boy pacing around anxiously under the Yushen tree.
Kanna Hyuga was surprised to see Huang Se, who was almost running over excitedly, followed by Midori Shintaro, who was walking behind him. However, she still smiled and nodded at the Midori, indicating that they should enter the house to talk.
They entered the house, took off their shoes at the entrance, walked in the hallway, and then went to the guest room.
Kagase followed behind Kanna and secretly observed the house of this very powerful Yin-Yang Master and barrier master.
He was surprised and a little disappointed to discover that there was no training ground (?) in the house.
There weren't any weapons, formations, or powerful monsters that could control monsters like in the movies. It was just a very ordinary, everyday home furnishings.
Not only that, the girl who dealt with the demons so quickly yesterday was just an ordinary girl after she took off her strange white clothes — no, she was obviously super beautiful.
He quietly and interestedly looked at the lazy girl who was walking in front of him. She was wearing a long-sleeved hoodie and jeans, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. His stare made Midori couldn't help but raise his foot and kick him from behind.
Huang Se was rendered speechless.
Kanna Hyuga did her best to hold back her laughter as she handed tea and tea to the two of them.
"You came in the morning. You haven't had breakfast yet, right, Shintaro?"
The black-haired girl smiled and turned to Huang Se. "I'm Kanna Hyuga, an apprentice witch of the Sunset Shrine."
"As for why it's a part-time job … After all, with my current ability, I'm still far from being a qualified witch."
"I, I, I'm Ryota Hwang Se —" Huang Se blushed a little when he recalled how he ignored Kanna Hyuga yesterday afternoon. "I'm really sorry about yesterday!" He suddenly stood up and bowed to apologize. "I was too shocked to see the demon —"
"Well … It's nothing. After all, I sneaked in to check out the demon on Nishimura-san."
Kanai waved her hand. "Speaking of which, Kun Hwang was also haunted by the zombie on Nishimura-san."
"Ghouls, demons, witches?"
The Midori, who had been silent all this while, gritted his teeth and said a few words word by word. He stared at Kanai and asked, "Don't you have any explanation?"
Kanna Hyuga suddenly felt a little guilty. She smiled at the Midori and pushed a can of rice cake bean soup on the table to him. "Well … Let's talk about the zombie on Kun Hwang first."
At that moment, he pretended not to see Lu Jian's ashen face and casually explained how he found the zombie yesterday afternoon, sneaked into the studio, and followed the demonic aura to Huang Se's apartment to kill the zombie.
Huang Se still had a lingering fear when he thought of the scene last night. "It's all thanks to Little Hyuga. I was so close to being bitten to death by the zombie."
We're not close enough for you to call me 'Little Hyuga'. Kanna Hyuga glanced at Huang Se and continued to explain, "That zombie was accidentally provoked by Nishimura-san.
It followed Kun Hwang home because it sensed the spiritual power on Kun Hwang. "
"She provoked it?" The corner of Huang Se's mouth twitched. "Is Nishimura … okay?"
"There's no problem at the moment."
Kanna Hyuga yawned slightly. "After all, Red Leaf and I were at Nishimura's house for the rest of the night … At least Nishimura-san is safe now."
In front of the Midori, she didn't dare to say how many zombies she killed in one breath last night. Seeing that the two teenagers still wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, she quickly changed the topic.
"The more important thing now is the spiritual power on Kun Hwang's body."
"The spiritual power on my body?" Huang Se had a strange expression on his face.
Kanai tilted her head. "I can feel the spiritual power unconsciously emitted from Kun Hwang's body."
She made a gesture of an explosion. "If you don't restrain yourself, there will always be demons coming to find you."
"After all …" Recalling some bad memories, Kanna Hyuga narrowed her eyes. "The more ferocious a demon is, the more it likes to devour humans with strong spiritual power."
"Huh?"
Poor Huang Se's face was pale with fright. He trembled as he grabbed the Midori. "Am I going to die soon …?"
The Midori pushed Huang Se away in disgust. Seeing Kanna Hyuga's mouth curved into the shape of a ingot, she coldly shot a glare at her.
"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing him …" Kanna Hyuga couldn't help but laugh. "I've already prepared it for you."
She took out a black bracelet from her pocket. "This is what I used when I was young. If you wear it, it can temporarily prevent your spiritual power from leaking out. However, Kun Hwang still has to take some time to control his spiritual power."
"I just have to wear it?"
Huang Se carefully took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. "This, this way, the demons won't find me, right?"
"In theory, yes, but I still recommend that Kun Hwang learn to control it himself."
Kanna Hyuga said seriously. "Having spiritual power isn't something to be afraid of. On the contrary, having the ability to touch another world might be a gift from the heavens."
Huang Se heard this and nodded excitedly. His eyes were shining. "So, I can also become a great hero who slays demons like Hyuga?!"
Kanai was speechless.
Kanai asked, "Probably?"
After agreeing on a time to meet up with the excited Huang Se, Kanai got up and walked the two of them to the Royal Tree.
Facing the bright morning light, Kanai yawned slightly.
"You can leave here," the Midori said coldly. "I don't need you anymore. You can go back."
After saying this, the Midori nodded slightly at Kanai and walked in the direction of the Torii.
Kagase was one step slower. Originally, he had a lot of things he wanted to say to Kanna. However, when he saw the cold expression on Kanna's face, he felt that it would be inappropriate to ask. Thus, he could only bow deeply to Kanna to express his gratitude. Then, he strode after Kanna and left.
To be honest, the Tsundere still hadn't changed.
Kanai smiled and returned to the shrine. She endured the sleepiness and made a cup of black coffee. While drinking the coffee, she also made maple fritters, fried ham, and pumpkin congee.
Kanna called for the young girl and Yakuza to go downstairs to eat. Kanna placed the extra portion on a tray to the side.
Then, he went straight to the temple.
"Is Kanai -sama going to summon someone again?" Virgin's face was covered in pumpkin congee, and she obediently raised her head to let Red Leaf wipe her mouth with a napkin.
At a glance, she found that the extra breakfast had an excessive amount of maple sugar on the maple pancake. Hongye curled her lips. "Who else would like to eat such sweet maple sugar except for that black-bellied guy?"
"… I didn't expect Red Leaf to have such a deep impression of me. I'm flattered." Before Red Leaf could finish speaking, the silver-haired man pushed open the door and leaned against it with a playful smile.
The man's silver hair was loose and loose, and his fragrant long robe was covered with a light moonlight colored feather. His light-colored eyes were half-closed as he sat down to enjoy his breakfast.
"So it's Shuweng -sama!"
Speaking of which, Shuweng's demonic age and experience were slightly inferior to Red Leaf and the other great demons. However, he loved to travel since he was born, and he was very knowledgeable. He was also a famous scholar among the demons.
However, before Kanai summoned Shuweng, she would never have thought that —
The pancake was stained with maple syrup as it was carefully placed into the man's mouth. Shu Weng savored the maple syrup and revealed a satisfied smile to his master. However, his mouth was still stained with maple syrup.
He looked no different from Virgin eating pumpkin congee.
Kanna Hyuga was expressionless. She even wanted to laugh a little.
… My Shuweng -sama, a patient with severe late-stage maple sugar poisoning.

Because they did not know how long it would take, Huang Se and the Midori both asked for a day off from school.
The Midori's house was not far from the Sunset Shrine. In addition, Huang Se kept pestering the Midori to find out more about Kanna Hyuga, so the Midori's mother asked Huang Se to stay at home for lunch.
The Midori naturally would not tell Huang Se about Kanai. However, the mother did not know anything. After being coaxed by the handsome and polite Huang Se, she confessed everything. "Hyuga's Kanai … I saw her a lot when I was young. She was in the same primary school as Shintaro. The two children were very close when they were young."
The Midori's mother thought for a moment and laughed. "When he was young, Shintaro said seriously that he wanted to marry Kanai —"
"Mother!" The Midori stared at the two of them unhappily, as if she was going to throw Huang Se out of the house in the next second.
The Midori's mother obviously knew her son very well. She hurried into the kitchen with the excuse of making lunch, leaving Huang Se staring at the Midori with grievance like a large golden retriever.
The Midori glared at him fiercely, and her mood became even worse.
Thinking of the can of rice cake and pea soup that Kanna Hyuga had just handed to her, and remembering what happened three years ago, she could not help but feel angry.
"I can't go to Teiguang with you." The eleven-year-old Kanai twisted her skirt and lowered her head, not daring to look at her father.
"Why?" The little Midori pursed her lips, trying to suppress her anger.
"I, I told Saori that I would go to Qing Xue High School." Little Kanai's ears were red as she stammered an explanation.
"And, and, and, in the future, in the future, don't come and play with me." After saying that in one breath, Little Kanai lowered her head, held her breath, turned around, and ran away.
"… Up to you!"
Lü Jian, who was both flustered and angry, yelled at the little girl who was running away. "Who cares about you?!" Lü Jian was stunned by Lü Jian's sudden declaration of breaking off ties with Lü Jian.
