“Oh yeah, have you set up the spirit-resting website?”

Before this, Chiba Shiori and Kimura Kazuki have been discussing this offline, and she didn’t know whether this website had been set up. After all, she wasn’t an all-round genius, she could only give advice on setting up a website instead of providing hands-on assistance.

“It’s done.”

Kimura Kazuki nodded his head. He did follow up on some matters.

As the spirit-resting website was small, a laptop would be more than enough to serve as a server. He didn’t want to make a forum, all he wanted was to gather ordinary people who had met demons. So this type of website could be set up quickly.

Upon hearing this, Chiba Shiori took out her phone promptly, staring at Kimura Kazuki with an eager face.

Kimura Kazuki told her the website’s address. Chiba Shiori entered the website swiftly. As there was nobody browsing, she did not take long.

Once she entered... she looked at the screen, it was pitch-black.

At the next moment, a rocky moonlight rose gradually, shimmering with golden rays of black and white. The huge taichi moon hung in the sky for one second. Then, it disappeared, followed by the floating up of the black-colored words’ Request For Help’ on a white background.

At first sight, it was simple, rough, and cheap. It resembled the style of the anime Hell Girl.

Chiba Shiori clicked on the words’ Request For Help’. Quickly, a form appeared.

This was a registration form. One had to fill in their real name, contact information, address, and add a self-portrait. In the end, one is required to write about their paranormal experience.

Chiba Shiori snickered in her heart. It seemed that Kazuki had remembered all of her previous suggestions. This website was totally set based on her words.

She was filled with satisfaction. She asked, “Has anyone posted anything yet?”

Kimura Kazuki shook his head when the website was just set up, he would check the back end eagerly when he was free. Now... he was even too lazy to click into this website, “I am planning to get Nakagawa-Kun’s help. Wasn’t he the moderator of ‘Final Forum’? when the moment comes, I would ask him to promote my website for me.” As he was speaking, he remembered that she helped out with both the spirit-resting website and Yuriko, “Oh yeah, what kind of accessories do you like?”

Huh? Chiba Shiori’s heart almost skipped a beat. Her heart was pumping quicker and quicker. In the end, she stared at Kimura Kazuki’s calm eyes and asked before she allowed her bees to run wild in her bonnet, “Are you going to give me a present? Then a ring would be just nice.”

Kimura Kazuki nodded his head, “You’ve assisted me in accomplishing Yuriko’s wish, of course, I have to thank you with a gift.”

Okay... As expected.

But she was still happy as Kimura Kazuki was going to give her a present.

After applying the Vision Spell, both of them had a discussion about the novel before Kimura Kazuki left.

Glancing at the time, it was already four in the evening.

He contemplated for a long time before making a call to Harunaka. Since he had made up his mind, then according to his character, he wouldn’t drag the issue.

Harunaka wasn’t taking lessons at Touch Memory at this moment. Although she had registered, she discussed with the tuition teacher that she would be back for classes with full focus after the Jade Dragon Flag Competition.

At this moment, she was practicing Kendo in school.

Ever since Kimura-senpai had taught her the Rainstorm Style, Harunaka had been practicing hard without skipping a single day. And every day she sensed her improvements. According to her senior’s words, it was due to the robust foundation she built during these ten years, but she didn’t master any powerful techniques. So by practicing the Rainstorm Style now, her improvement was pronounced.

But recently, Harunaka felt that a crisis is coming.

The district qualifiers were not only held in Tokyo, but also in other districts all over Japan. Harunaka felt a threat from the different areas.

Yesterday, Risa from the Women’s Team had shown her a video of a female candidate from Kanagawa Seito High School. Her strength, speed, and reflexes had reached a peak value. Just like Kimura-senpai, the girl named Yayoi Momoi was lightning fast, as her moves could only be seen clearly after slowing down the video.

Other than Yayoi Momoi, there was still an awesome girl called Katsuki Sugawara.

According to Iwai Hokuto, other than the girls, there were a lot of powerful boys from other areas. From the videos, it was felt that they were as good as Kimura-senpai.

So, even though Sakura Kyu High School had won the team competition, and she also had won 10 matches in a row in the individual competition, she did not dare to let her guard down. She was grim-faced from the stress.

Of course, this made her doubtful. She felt that this year’s Kendo competition was a little different.

There weren’t such compelling candidates in the previous competitions. The championship of the Jade Dragon Flag Competition was consistently from a list of schools. There was no match-fixing involved, but some high schools would emphasize sports competitions. Furthermore, most of the powerful and outstanding Kendo candidates from junior middle school would be recruited into these high schools to participate in big tournaments, fighting for the glory of their schools.

This was the reason why the winner of every grand competition would be almost the same unless there were dark horses. So the descending of Sakura Kyu High School in the Tokyo District Qualifiers was a stimulating experience to the audience. If it was won by the well-known high schools annually, the audience would definitely be weary of it.

But there are too many dark horses this year.

She watched some videos and noticed that other than Tokyo, there were dark horses from other areas as well. It was rumored that the hopeful seeded teams were knocked out. It became a hot topic on the internet. Just like Sakura Kyu High School, some obscure schools sent out strong candidates who defeated the seeded teams.

Harunaka was wondering where these candidates came from, as they made her feel challenged.

While Harunaka was practicing at the Kendo Association, the phone inside her bag located beside her rang out with a soft ringtone. This ringtone startled her. She put down the shinai, opened her bag, and took out her phone. She didn’t even look at the caller and answered, “Senpai, what’s the matter?”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m at the club...” “Go home.”

“Huh?”

After half an hour, Kimura Kazuki arrived at Suiryu Duplex Apartment. He made his way to the twelfth floor swiftly. Soon after pressing the doorbell, Harunaka came to open the door.

Upon reaching the living room from the doorway, he saw that there was nobody there, and gestured Harunaka to take a seat.

Harunaka was slightly apprehensive. She noticed that her senior’s face looked grave, so she was worried.

Kimura Kazuki had no intention to create suspense, so he spoke directly, “You have been watching the qualifiers held in other areas, right?”

“Yes.”

“How did it feel? I heard that there are two powerful girls from high schools in other districts.” The two powerful girls he meant was clearly Yayoi Momoi and Katsuki Sugawara.

“Erm...” When Harunaka heard his words, she took a peek at her senior and spoke truthfully, “They are really ferocious. I felt that... even if I had practiced the Rainstorm Style, I would still be unable to defeat them.”

If she couldn’t defeat these two, then they have no hope of winning the girl’s championship. Harunaka’s short term goal would not be achieved, meaning that Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsession would go on for at least one more year.

As he was thinking, Kimura Kazuki took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it onto the table.

“Tomorrow, you have to prepare the herbs according to this list.”
