Hearing this, the mercenary smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Yozora with interest.
"It seems that you are also a rather special person."
"Wait a moment."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Yotsuya Miko saw a confused look on his face and couldn't help but ask.
"What do you mean by this old gentleman is a genuine psychic, so he sold you a fake? I can't understand the logic behind this."
Yozora shrugged and explained nonchalantly.
"Generally speaking, there are two types of people who claim to have spiritual powers and make exorcism their career."
"The first type is a complete charlatan who doesn't know what he's doing."
"Since they are able to open such a store on this commercial street, it is unlikely to be this kind of thing. Besides, you should have noticed that some of the things in this store do have spiritual power, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko nodded.
She had discovered it the moment she stepped into the store.
Although the quantity was small, some of the goods on the shelves emitted a faint light.
This is the real deal, and it has the effect of expelling evil spirits.
Of course, compared to the evil spirits that Yotsuya Miko usually sees, these things are better than nothing.
Yozora paused for a moment, giving Yotsuya Miko enough time to think, and then continued.
"And the second type is people who are more capable and whose products in the store can actually ward off evil spirits."
"You mean this old gentleman belongs to the second category?"
To Yotsuya Miko's surprise, Yozora shook her head.
"No, he is the third type."
"The third one?"
"The so-called third type..."
Yozora looked at the old man sitting behind the counter and spoke slowly.
"The third type is the one who can see whether the customers who come to buy goods are entangled by evil spirits. They are real psychics."
"If it is true, then I will collect money from people and help them get rid of the disaster."
"If there are no evil spirits around the customer, then it is just a psychological effect. At this time, just sell something to create a placebo effect."
After hearing what Yozora said, Yotsuya Miko nodded as if he suddenly understood something.
So, that's what happened.
She thought Yozora came here today just to return the money, and it turned out to be his main purpose.
"Young man, it seems you understand a lot."
The old man smiled and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Oda Noto."
Yozora nodded slightly.
"Well, my name is Yozora, and this is Yotsuya Miko."
Oda Noto had a kind smile on his face, but before he could open his mouth, he was almost unable to hold back his breath because of what Yozora said next.
" Oda Noto? What a good name. I'll call you Old man from now on."
Oda Noto sighed helplessly, thinking, haven't you always been called Lao Noto? What's the difference?
"Now that we've talked about it."
Yozora's fingers tapped lightly on the counter top, making a rhythmic sound.
"Then I'll ask you directly, what product is the most effective against evil spirits here? Bring out something real."
"Want to see the real thing?"
Oda Noto looked at Yozora deeply, pondered for a while, then turned and entered the warehouse behind him.
After the other party left, Yotsuya Miko finally found an opportunity, approached Yozora and spoke in a low voice.
"Um... With your ability, there should be no need to spend money to buy these things, right?"
"That's wrong."
Yozora yawned, as if he was still sleepy, with a slightly lazy look on his face.
"If I can find a more effective weapon, I can save some energy in battle."
"Oh, it's a single bet."
Yotsuya Miko nodded and thought that this was true.
It is indeed a single bet.
No, no.
The key point is the first sentence.
She had seen with her own eyes how Yozora fought against the evil spirits, and had also read the experiences he had summarized.
Ordinary weapons, no matter what material they are made of, cannot cause any substantial damage to evil spirits and can be restored quickly, so they can only play a supporting role.
Yotsuya Miko is not sure whether the ability to devour the night star can be used indefinitely.
Just thinking about it carefully, there should still be some restrictions, right?
There will always be times when you can't eat anymore.
Besides...
Those evil spirits looked like abstract paintings. She didn't understand how Yozora could bring herself to eat them.
If he could really find a weapon that had the ability to destroy evil spirits, not only could Yozora use it, he could also get one and keep it with him, just in case.
While Yotsuya Miko was thinking secretly, Oda Noto walked out slowly, holding a long sword with a simple style and a very old look.
"This should meet your needs."
Oda Noto gently placed the long sword on the counter. The sharp blade, which was not wrapped in a scabbard, reflected a cold light.
"This is!?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, although this long sword is very sharp, due to its age and the several notches of varying sizes on the blade, its appearance cannot be said to be good, let alone being called a famous sword.
But Yotsuya Miko, who possessed the Yin-Yang eyes, could see it clearly.
This long sword emitted a red mist as thick as blood.
With just a glance, she could feel the unusualness of this long sword.
"How much is it? I'll buy it."
Hearing what Yozora said, Oda Noto smiled and waved his hand, saying meaningfully.
"I'll give it to you as a gift to show my sincerity. Can you please leave me your contact information?"
"walk slowly."
Yozora seemed to have expected the other party to say this, and told Oda Noto his cell phone number, and then said another sentence.
"The knife is already given away, give me a whole sheath for it."
"You are a super senior to me here?"
Although Oda Noto complained, his body was still honest. He took out a wooden scabbard and handed it to Yozora while giving instructions.
"By the way, the knife is sharp, so you can't take it on the train. Be careful."
"Okay, Lao Deng, let's contact each other when we have time."
Yozora sheathed the long sword without any reluctance, and directly pulled Yotsuya Miko, who had not yet figured out the situation, away.
Oda Noto looked at the backs of the two men, lit another cigarette, and took a deep puff.
As an experienced exorcist, he gained a lot of valuable information from the conversation with Yozora just now.
First of all, the other party knew that the amulet he gave was a fake and useless.
Secondly, from his observation, Yozora was not haunted by any evil spirits.
And most importantly, the surprise revealed in Yotsuya Miko's eyes when she saw the long sword.
Combining these details, he has guessed that these two young men who appear to be high school students are psychics like himself.
and...
The other party may very well have the ability to truly destroy those "things", which you do not have.
