Part-Time Witch Higurashi
Chapter 8
That morning, a man in ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and stinking like a savage came to Shinzu Private Hospital.
He carried a tattered canvas bag on his back and held a wooden staff in his hand. He looked like a beggar as he stood in front of Yukimura Shion.
"Shiyin …" The man rubbed his hands and smiled at Shiyin. "I'm back!
How's Kanai? "
"Is the enchantment barrier in the Spiritual Realm fixed?" Shiyin didn't even look at the man.
"It's fixed!
What kind of lousy enchantment did the previous generation make? It's up to me, the good guardian of the Ink Village — "Speaking of this, the man, the good guardian of the Ink Village, starts to criticize how lousy and rubbish the enchantment of the Spiritual Realm was," If it weren't for the lousy enchantment last time, I wouldn't have stayed home for two months! "
Shiyin was expressionless. "The enchantment barrier in the Spiritual Realm was made by my grandmother when she was young."
Kumura Yoshimori quickly changed his words. "The enchantment barrier last time was really meticulous and sturdy. It's amazing!
It only took me two months to fix it. It's all because of those bastards in the Spiritual Realm. Otherwise, I would've come back much earlier! "
Before Shiyin could say anything, Imomura Ushou, who was walking out of the ward, was speechless. "Dad … your desire to live is so strong."
Kumura Yoshimori didn't dare to refute his son's words in front of Shiyin. He could only laugh awkwardly.
"… Go home and wash up before you come back to see Kanai!"
Shiyin probably couldn't bear to see her husband in such a terrible state. He just wanted him to go home and wash up as soon as possible. He was too lazy to care about his criticism of the Yukimura family's enchantment barrier.
Kumura Yoshimori felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly ran away.
"How is it?
Is Kanai okay? "Shiyin turned to ask his son." I brought some chicken soup that grandma made for Kanai. "
"The fever has gone down. He looks fine now." Yu Shou took the thermos from his mother's hand. The two pushed the door open and walked in quietly.
It had been four days since Huang Se was kidnapped by Nishimura. His niece was accidentally injured while rescuing Nana Nishimura and Matsuda Jin, who were besieged by ghouls. Her right foot was slashed by a ghoul, and she was sent to the foot hospital for stitches on the same day. After that, she had a high fever for three days in a daze. The little girl, who was seriously ill, kept insisting that she was not allowed to tell her parents.
Fortunately, the foot hospital had some connections with the Kumura family. The head of the hospital, Shinobu Eishi, also had some understanding of Shinto. Kanna Hyuga and Yu Shou had been treated in the foot hospital ever since they were young. Shinobu Eishi was able to deal with wounds caused by monsters easily.
The medication was reasonable, and Shiyin continued to purify the remaining monster poison on the wound with her Reiki. In just four days, Kanna Hyuga had already started to sit up and use her mobile phone. Shuweng, Red Leaf, and Virgin stayed in the ward and watched their master.
In just a few days, because Huang Se caused trouble by broadcasting Nana Nishimura's account of the murder, the whole of Japan was in an uproar. Countless netizens spontaneously petitioned for the death penalty for Nishimura, and crowned Ryota Hwang Se, who didn't forget to expose the truth in a dangerous situation, as a hero.
People with extensive sources of information quickly searched Nana Nishimura's previous career as a substitute singer, her original appearance, the singer she was responsible for, the list of victims, and so on …
The situation gradually got out of control, and public opinion violently bombarded Nana Nishimura. Even the singer she was a substitute singer was affected. As long as the name 'Nana Nishimura' was attached to them, they would be crazily abused by the netizens.
Gradually, some people began to think that 'Nana Nishimura is wrong, but isn't this kind of public opinion violence a bit too much?'
Human rights organizations and some lawyers who insisted on abolishing the death penalty believed that the court should not be swayed by public opinion during the trial, but should objectively and fairly treat Nana Nishimura, a minor.
Some people even thought that although Nana Nishimura was wrong, wasn't it society that made her like this?
It was society's harsh view of a woman's appearance and figure that made women like Nana Nishimura and Nana Nishimura unable to turn over a new leaf. Wasn't it more abominable that this kind of discrimination against appearance had not been eliminated until now?
"Until now, the people who are cursing Nana Nishimura have been saying 'sow,' 'ugly,' 'whore,' and other vicious words. They have been wantonly ridiculing her original appearance, but they don't know that you people are the main culprits behind her crimes."
This tweet received tens of thousands of likes. In the comments, the two groups of netizens argued endlessly, and no one could convince the other.
Many people ran to Huang Se's homepage, begging Ryota Hwang Se to forgive Nana Nishimura, and also to be a 'hero' to save girls like Nana Nishimura.
Kanna Hyuga was stunned.
"These humans are so strange. Shouldn't it be up to the people who were harmed by Nana Nishimura to decide whether to forgive or not?
I don't want to forgive her!
She even tried to steal my bonded spirit! "Virgin pouted, her face full of anger.
"They weren't the ones who were killed or imprisoned. Why should they be forgiven by Kun Hwang?"
"It's precisely because they weren't the ones who were harmed that they can confidently say that they're forgiven," Shuweng comforted Virgin. "Humans …"
"I …" Kanna Hyuga began to feel regret. If she had killed those two from the start, or not saved them, and allowed them to be killed by the zombies, would there be so many problems now?
"Did I do something wrong again?"
If Nana Nishimura was absolved of her crime because she was a minor, and she was the one who personally handed her over to the police, how could she face the undead women who thanked her?
How could she have the face to meet the families of the victims?
She felt uneasy. She followed Shiyin's instructions and didn't kill Nana Nishimura, but that didn't mean that she was going to let Nana Nishimura off the hook. She had thought that by handing Nana Nishimura over to the police, she would be able to get the punishment she deserved … The naive girl had thought that a life for a life was acceptable in court.
Shuweng didn't have time to say anything before Shiyin and Imokura Hashimori pushed open the door and walked in. Their expressions darkened when they saw the girl's tearful expression.
Shiyin hurriedly explained the situation to the two barrier masters. He had mixed feelings and couldn't help but rub Kanna Hyuga's head.
"Do you still remember Hashimori's favorite manga?" Shiyin suddenly asked Kanai.
Imokura Hashimori was a true otaku. His favorite manga was DC's Batman. There were hundreds of Batman manga and several Batman figurines in his bedroom. He even used special means to collect the 27th issue of Detective Manga from 1939, which was the first issue of Batman. This periodical was kept in a secret compartment at the head of his bed, and he would fight anyone who touched it.
"I remember … but I never had time to read it."
Kanna Hyuga answered honestly. She was so busy with classes, killing monsters, and going to the Kumura family for training. How could she have time to read manga?
"Hey, mom, are you serious?" Imokura Hashimori's expression suddenly changed, "My baby wife (manga) will never be borrowed."
"What's wrong with lending it to your sister?"
Shiyin gently smiled at Imokura Hashimori and clenched her fists.
Just thinking about it made her angry!
Kanai, the heir of the Kumura family, worked hard every day to learn barrier techniques. She was obedient and smart, and diligent to the point that she didn't even read a single manga. On the other hand, the heir of the Yukimura family only had the talent for training and escaped whenever she could … She was lazy and stayed at home to play games!
"If you're worried, you can let your sister read it in your bedroom, right?"
The female overlord's expression was horrifying. Imokura Hashimori nodded with tears in his eyes, "Then, then read it in my room. You're not allowed to take it out!
And you're not allowed to touch my first wife! "
"Yes, yes." Kanna Hyuga's mouth twitched. She didn't understand why Shiyin insisted on asking her to read manga at this juncture.
The obedient girl nodded and agreed, "By the way, Nana Nishimura mentioned the Black Mang Tower —"
"Your uncle just came back from the Spiritual Realm."
Shiyin comforted her, "As for the Black Mang Tower, he and I will investigate it. You just need to recuperate. Don't worry about it."
"Okay …" Actually, her injuries had healed long ago. She was just worried about this case!
Kanna Hikari scrolled through Twitter in frustration. Suddenly, she saw a new tweet on Huang Ase's main page, which was currently at the center of attention.
"Nana Nishimura's crimes cannot be absolved regardless of the reason for killing the innocent.
If it's not the victims and their families, they have no right to forgive.
It's very rude and inhumane to cruelly ask the victims to forgive the murderer just based on the news, a short live broadcast, and public opinion on the internet.
If it doesn't happen to you, you will never understand the pain of losing a loved one. If it doesn't happen to you, you will never truly feel the pain.
As the only victim who is still alive and can speak on Twitter, I only wish to return the full power of the trial to the judiciary. I also hope that this case won't become a tool for some human rights organizations to denounce the death penalty.
Nana Nishimura was indeed a minor, but among the women she killed, there were also high school students who were still in school.
It's a shame to be called a hero.
In a field we don't know about, there are people who do their best and risk their lives. They are willing to live in the darkness and walk alone in the shadows of swords, just so that the majority can live a stable life and be able to express their will freely on the Internet.
In comparison, how can I, who only turned on the live broadcast because of my cleverness, deserve it? "
In just a few minutes, this tweet received thousands of comments. Because of public opinion and the mental torture of losing a loved one, the victims' family members could not help but cry when they saw the youth's support.
At the same time, Kanna Hyuga's tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Is this the child who has the ability to foresee?" Yukimura Shiyin stared at the tweet with admiration in his eyes.
After getting Kanna Hyuga's affirmative nod, he said, "The ability to predict dreams is too special. Ryōshou and I have only met one monster who can weave dreams for so many years. If the child still wants to develop in this area, it's a good choice to find that monster."
Shiyin said that he would contact Ryōshou to give the coordinates of the monster to Kanai: "He is your friend, you can choose to bring him into the threshold of Shinto."

Due to the recent uproar in the Nana Nishimura murder case, Huang Se had to ask for leave from school at home.
At the moment, Huang Se, who is practicing with his partner in the basketball stadium, simply agreed to Kanai's invitation. The two made an appointment to go to Yayuan tomorrow to find the legendary monster who can weave dreams.
Hanging up the phone, Huang Se turned his head and looked at Midori's eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
"Ha, ha ha... Well, little Hyuga is going to help me!"
Through bribing Midori's mother, Ryota Hwang Se, who roughly understood that his little friend was unilaterally cut off for no reason, laughed dryly and tried to muddle through.
"What, what murderer needs her to save?" Midori pushed her glasses and stared at Huang Se angrily.
Hearing the conversation between Huang Se and Midori, the Teiguang basketball team members who were resting gathered around.
"Hey?
So Xiaohuang is going to date with Miss Witch tomorrow? "Peach Well May said with a look of relief.
"... Kun Hwang seems to be in a good mood." Sunspot Tetsuya and Zi Yuan sat on a bench on one side, wiping their sweat with a towel.
After Huang Se's accident, several members of the Teiguang First Team called Huang Se to inquire about the situation. Huang Se was able to escape the reporters' questioning and play here safely to calm down. It was also the result of Captain Akashiji Seijuro's family's mediation.
Because of the family's knowledge of Sunset Shrine, and Huang Se told the adventure story of his encounter with the ghost, being saved by little Hyuga, and being caught by Nana Nishimura several times in several chapters. Akashiji can probably understand the purpose of Miss Hyuga asking Huang Se to go to Yayuan tomorrow.
He raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Miss Witch finally has time to help Huang Se solve the problem of his spiritual power."
"What, what spiritual power, I think Huang Se is just lying." Daigetsu Aofeng held his hands and looked incredulous.
Qingfeng teenager, who was too afraid of ghosts, collapsed when he learned that there were really monsters in the world and that they would attack people.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Am I really not dreaming?
I am desperate for this f * cking world!
Subconsciously, he firmly does not believe in the fact of the monster. What Witch is just a skill!
Yes!
She must have practiced it!
What ghost, what ghost, it doesn't exist!
Daigetsu Aofeng still admires Huang Se very much. He thinks that Huang Se is a man and doesn't lose face.
It wasn't just him. Although the other official candidates didn't say it out loud, they also admired him in their hearts.
Not only that, with his beast-like intuition, Daigetsu Aofeng feels that Huang Se has become a little different since that day.
"Little Qingfeng's self-deception hasn't changed," looking at Daigetsu Aofeng with pity, Huang Se was a little helpless. "Little Akashiji is right. Tomorrow I am going to see the monster who is said to help me." So it's not a date!
Not a date!
Little Midori, don't stare at me with such scary eyes!
"… Hmph." Midori glanced at Huang Se.
"From what I know about Shinto," Akashiji, who finally had enough of watching the joke, decided to give Huang Se a helping hand, "Shinto Shamans and priests are generally more reclusive. They would rather associate with shikigami than interact with ordinary people.
I did a little research on Miss Hyuga and found that she is also a loner at school. Other than her childhood friend Saori Saotome, she basically has no other friends. "
Midori is a little impatient: "So?
Akashiji, what are you trying to say? "
