The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 2: Chapter 7: Bookstore, Forbidden Books, and the Original Blockhead

Volume 2 Chapter 7 Bookstore, Forbidden Books, and the Original Blockhead

Hrng~~ Mnn~~~ Ahh~~~ It was the end of class. Satsuki stretched herself in front of me. Looking at her curvaceous figure, I couldnt help but marvel to myself: Satsuki has a really fantastic body.

Hey, stupid Lin Xiang, why the heck are you gawking at me with such a lecherous stare? Are you planning to do something that goes beyond our sisterly relationship?

Arent you overthinking this? It appeared that Satsuki saw through me when I stole that quick glance at her body.

Really? Then

Hey, what? What the heck are you doing?

All of a sudden, in the middle of our conversation, Satsuki wrapped her arms around my neck and drew her face closer and closer

Your face is all red. You are overthinking this, right? Its just us sisters, what are you being all shy about?

Uhh. Shit! She got me.

Hehe I love seeing you looking all embarrassed like that. Come on, lets go get those books. Tomorrows Spirit Summoning Day. Satsuki picked up her book bag and hit me with it.

I say. What kind of spirits do you think youll be able to summon?

I dont know. How about you?

He~~ I gave a confident laugh. Who am I? Id be what you would call a dragonkin; be it superior spirit or a special spirit, wouldnt they all come running?

Dont get too cocky, the summoners spiritual strength determines the kind of spirits they can summon. Just when I was getting excited, Freed had to come out and rain on my parade.

Youre not trying to tell me, that I wouldnt be able to summon any, are you?

Well, that.

Oi, even though I cant see your expression, could you please refrain from sounding like youre being put in a difficult spot and cant really answer my question?

Alright, according to my prediction, based on your spiritual strength, you should, perhaps, maybe, possibly, can manage to summon a spirit of the lowest rank? Meh~~~ Just believe in yourself.

Hey, wait a minute, what is the meaning of your multitudes of maybes?' Percentage multiplied by percentage? (Like 90% x 90% = 81%?)

If that really was the case, then wouldnt my chance of summoning any spirits be very low? Never mind them being the lowest ranked spirits.

Ugh, kid, didnt you know, that it was like a one in a million chance for you, a Trainee Magician, with strength only at the level of a junior high student, to make it into high school? Who isnt at least a Junior Magician in high school already? Besides, you all are still only freshmen. There are still plenty of room to grow. Oh, when I said you all, that doesnt include you, by the way.

Dammit. You can just say it to my face directly that my spiritual strength is so low that I wont be able to summon any spirits. Why the heck do you have to make fun of me in such a roundabout way? Saying that my strength is only that of a junior high student.

Oh? Making fun of you? So do you know any special killer moves? You werent thinking of saying that since you had the dragons power, it would be equivalent to having amazing spiritual power, and could do a lot of powerful magic? It would get out of control, and people, whoever they might be, will get hurt. What kind of magical power is that then? On top of that, while Ill admit that your sword skills are pretty good, can you manage to summon spirits with your sword skill?

That, I cannot. Freed wasnt pulling any punches.

Well, kid, dont be so depressed; if you really want to have a powerful spirit then you can convert your dragons power into spiritual power. I believe that if you can do that, it wont matter whether they are spirit kings or what not, they will all heed your summon and come running.

Allwill answer my summon? Then, wouldnt the school get so crowded that it might explode? Do know that the spirit population isnt any less than the human population.

So, either you be someone who cant summon any of the spirits, or be someone who can summon all of them. Your choice. Besides, if you really were to summon other spirits, and form a contract with them, wouldnt that make the ones who came here first, the water spirit and the lowest ranked earth spirit unhappy?

Why?

Forget it, forget that I said anything. Ive already explained it so clearly, and you still dont understand, you really are brain dead.

But

Hey, brain dead, dont keep talking to me. The human girl Satsuki, is about to get scared half to death by you. A minute ago, you were just giving her a charming smile, then all of a sudden, you stopped talking and got all depressed and looked like you were about to cry.

Oh?

When I snapped myself back to reality, I noticed that Satsuki was standing there, spinning her wheels, and looking really anxious. When she saw that I had finally recovered, she quickly said, Im sorry, Im sorry, Lin Xiang. Its just spirits, no need to dwell on it.

Nah, I was thinking about something else just now. I wasnt worrying about whether I could summon spirits. In truth, I was worrying about it.

But

Okay, lets head to the bookstore. I picked up my book bag, patted Satsuki on her head, and led us out of the classroom.

Kamiki Bookstore

Kamiki Bookstore is an enormous organization that sells all sorts of books. It is an understatement to call it a bookstore as its size rivals that of most libraries.

Excuse me, could you tell me where I could find reference books on spirits? Satsuki asked the young woman at the Information Desk right when we walked into the bookstore. After all, the place was simply too large.

Good day. All reference books on spirits are located in Section D. Please feel free to peruse the area for the books that you may like.

Thank you. After Satsuki uttered a polite reply to the young woman, she dragged me over to Section D. Oh There are so many of them here. When she saw the many different varieties of books that filled the enormous bookshelves, Satsuki was a bit stumped.

Arent they all the same? Just randomly pick one, and lets be on our way.

They arent all the same, alright? Each professor on spirits has their own theory on the subject; so, their books arent all the same.

Sigh, then what should I do?

Just help me look around.

Since Satsuki said it like that, I began to flip through some of these books on spirits as well.

After flipping through the books for a bit, I got bored. So, I wandered around the nearby area to see if there were any more books. Right then, behind Section D, I saw two large bookcases that had a sign with the word 18 inside a circle. And next to it was an exclamation mark?

What does that mean? People who are 18 years of age should pay attention?

I am only 17 years old, but isnt that almost old enough to count as 18? Besides, I could see quite a few other boys who looked about my age standing over there, flipping through the books. So, with the idea of just checking things out, I went over there.

Unexpectedly, what I saw on the covers of those books werent any spirits, but rather, beautiful females dressed up all sexy like but had some sort of horns worn on their heads?

I took a look at the title of the book: The H Lifestyle between My Master and I.

Right then, as I read the title, I could feel my hands trembling. This could this be the rumored forbidden books? An H-book with spirits cosplaying?

When I was in junior high, I had heard about these types of books from other boys in the class. But because I was in enough trouble all by myself already, I never managed to check them out.

And nowI was so lucky as to even lay eyes on these kinds of books, could this be Yalides guidance?

Just when I thought of this idea, Yalides voice came roaring from somewhere inside my head, Bite me! Stinky brat, how did you arrive at this theory? What do you mean Yalides guidance? Why would you think that I would lead you here to read these books?

Ah I apologize, I dont know why I would think like that all of a sudden. Almost forgot that they could tell what I was thinking.

Dont know why you would think like that? Youd better hurry up and give me a proper explanation. How could you see me, Yalide, the dragon god who was this wonderful Demon World Administrator, as some kind of lecherous dragon?

Uh is that not the case? He did advise me to do Nagisa, as I recalled.

Shit, I

Ah Yalide, the son of darkness White dragon Freeds voice sounded a bit sympathetic. No need for you to quibble about this. Never mind him, even I, who have been with you for so many years, share the same feeling about you. Er an example? Like that last time, when we were just floating around, you deliberately snuck around to someones bathroom window.

W what kind of garbage are you saying? I I wouldnt do such a thing.

Then, you go ahead and explain to us what you were doing at the time.

T That was That was I wanted to get a better understanding of humans. Yup. Thats right. That was all for my getting a better understanding of humans, so I wanted to observe them in their most natural state.

Oh~~ so thats how it was. I get it now. You needed to understand human females in their most natural states say no more; I understand you perfectly. Since we all share the same body with you, you can rest assured that we wont reject you.

Thank you. Thank your mother! I really wasnt.

Oi, oi. No need to explain further. Yalide, we understand. I chuckled.

Kid, never mind him now; youd better watch it yourself. If you keep on like this, staring at the cover of this book with that blank expression on your face, the consequences will be a bit less than desirable.

When I turned around, I saw Satsuki glaring at me, with her hands on her hips.

Yo! Satsuki been a while. For some unknown reason, I came up with such an idiotic line.

Mn, been a while, been such a long while that youre all grown up.

Oh, hah. I gave her a wry smile. Actually, I was thinking, clearly, this area should only have reference books on spirits, why is it that they would have these kinds of books around? I am telling you, I seriously despise people who read these kinds of books.

Oh yeah? Arent you wonderful?! I wonder who exactly it was just now getting so engrossed in reading these books that he even smiled to himself. Satsuki snatched the book from my hand, took a look at the cover, then pointed at the spirit cosplaying female on the cover art and asked, So thats your type?

No, no. Shit! I was like a mute who had swallowed a bitter pill couldnt help but suffer in silence. It looked like I was engrossed in it only because I was talking to Freed and them and got lost in our conversation. Alright, Id admit it, I did have an urge to buy this book a moment ago. But that was because I had never seen it before. It was completely out of curiosity.

I wanted to tell Satsuki all about it so badly, but she looked like she was thinking about something else.

.

Hey, do you know Yorikawa Nagisa? On our way back, Satsuki asked me out of the blue.

Nonot really?

Not really? If not really, then why was she staring at you when we were leaving?

Really? I didnt see that at all. Besides, did Nagisa really show herself in front of me? How come I didnt see her? You probably saw the wrong person, right?

Itll be for the best if thats the case. It looks to me like people have already started noticing you.

Really? Am I that great? Hahah! Then again, who noticed me? You?

Sigh~~~ Satsuki looked me and sighed. Then, she mumbled to herself, After all, I was here first, and its a blockhead too. It cant possibly be snatched away, right?

Youre going to snatch a block of wood? Wood needs to be stolen? Cant you just get a block of wood for several hundred? Just what kind of wooden block is it that you needed to go snatch it?

The block of wood Im talking about is very special, the one and only in the world, I dont want any besides that one.

Oh. Looks to me like it must some high quality wood.

Of course, it was even authenticated and recognized internationally as the Original Blockhead.

Oh? An original? Even wood have these kinds of distinctions? Learn something new every day.

(TL: blockhead and wood look and sound the same in Chinese.)
