An old woman familiar to Yulia was discussing exorcism matters with clients who came to post commissions.
"Shimomachi Goddess? That old woman?" Yotsuya Miko blinked, looking at the old woman dressed in a gray wizard's robe: "It's my first time seeing her—"
She had actually seen her a second time; the first was yesterday evening, not counting God and His two attendants.
"Only faint Curse Power."
Yotsuya Miko suddenly realized she was different from other "Exorcists." The old woman's Curse Power could at most exorcise ordinary evil spirits; she wouldn't be able to handle the child-like evil spirits encountered before.
Moreover, the old woman must have been an experienced practitioner for decades.
Her own power came from God, so she could easily deal with any kind of evil spirit.
"Only faint Curse Power," Yulia looked at the "expressionless" Si Gu Qian Bei beside her, thinking, as expected of Si Gu Qian Bei, it seems Shimomachi Goddess is just a minor character in the world of psychics.
Wait, Curse Power? Is this the correct term for psychic energy?
"Mhm, understood. It seems to be just a vengeful earthbound spirit. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you right away," Shimomachi Shinbo said to the young female office worker with a benevolent expression.
"Thank you so much," the young female office worker said sincerely. Who knew how much her worldview had been overturned today?
She had recently felt something unclean in her house and kept falling and getting injured. Just then, an exorcism message appeared on her phone, so she tried to find the location.
She never expected to be shocked the moment she entered. The small Cafe had a massive space that defied scientific explanation, and she even saw Exorcists in maid outfits practicing supernatural powers.
Only then did she realize this was not a Cafe at all; it was clearly an urban supernatural organization hidden behind a Cafe.
Supernatural aspects really exist in the world.
"I hope, madam, you can keep this a secret," Shimomachi Goddess said solemnly.
"Understood, understood," the young female office worker looked at the two maids practicing supernatural powers next door, swallowed, and nodded like a pecking chicken.
"That's good," Shimomachi Shinbo nodded.
Who knew she was also very shocked? Her name was Sae-eda, and "Shimomachi Goddess" was just a self-proclaimed title to better sell her prayer beads.
Of course, she wasn't a fraud; she could also see evil spirits. She had been able to see them since childhood, but she didn't have much talent.
However, she had achieved some success through her own exploration and understood much of the world's truth. She had experienced many things in her youth.
She knew what she could touch and what she absolutely could not touch.
Yesterday, she noticed the anomaly on this street and came to check it out. She never expected that all the staff in this Cafe had special abilities.
She was also invited here by a staff member and was stunned the moment she entered.
She learned a lot of things. It was hard to imagine what kind of power could lay such an exaggerated exorcism barrier over an entire street.
This was also an exorcism organization that catered to ordinary people.
What shocked her even more was that they had a legitimate cultivation system, unlike her self-taught, unconventional methods.
She also met one of the three Cafe owners mentioned by the staff.
The girl whose body was filled with crimson light almost made her faint.
This was not a girl; she was clearly a flesh-and-blood God who had descended into the world.
She had personally come into contact with a 'God'.
That 'Mountain God' who had existed since who knows when.
This city was not very popular, and the 'Mountain God' could even be considered a suburban shrine's 'Mountain God.' Because the shrine was called 'Sanhuko Shrine,' that Mountain God was also called 'Sanhuko God.'
The aura from the girl named Saya Takagi was more oppressive and sacred than the Sanhuko God's.
However, it was filled with slaughter and death, clearly a 'Calamity God.'
Possessing a physical body—no, a divine body—and the power of a God. Compared to a true God, the Sanhuko God was more like an evil spirit that had seized a God's power.
Moreover, this 'Saya Takagi Calamity God' was not the most powerful. The staff said that the 'Boss' was the strongest.
She didn't even need to speculate; these three were definitely true 'Gods.'
Coincidentally, this Cafe also accepted external individuals to be listed here, so she registered as an 'Exorcist' here.
After becoming an 'Exorcist' at the Cafe, the 'Manager Miss' allowed her to choose ten types of magic and Curse Power meditation methods for cultivation. It was said that cultivating Curse Power could extend one's life by several decades.
She certainly couldn't refuse such a good offer.
Being able to legitimately learn magic, live for several more decades, and earn money by taking on commissions.
Currently, she had successfully learned the 'Curse Power Meditation Method' and one type of magic.
"Eh?" Sae-eda noticed the girl who walked in kept looking at her.
Isn't this the girl who used to buy my prayer beads? She always wanted to become my disciple but was too socially anxious to say much.
Because she was a 'grade-schooler' with no real benefit, and because this girl could truly see, Sae-eda had always ignored her longing to prevent her from repeating Sae-eda's own youthful mistakes.
It seems she found her way here too.
This wasn't surprising; after all, with innate spiritual vision, she would notice the anomalies here sooner or later.
"Little girl, my name is Sae-eda; you can call me Sae-eda. Come to my fortune-telling house for candy sometime," Sae-eda smiled kindly at Yulia.
This little girl can find her way here; her future is limitless.
Their circle isn't about fighting, but about human relations.
"Mhm, thank, thank you, Sae-eda," Yulia nodded excitedly, her heart blooming with joy, she was acknowledged!
Nothing was more satisfying than being recognized by someone she once considered a powerful psychic.
"Mhm, keep it up, little girl," Sae-eda walked out of the commission hall.
Yotsuya Miko was wondering how to strike up a conversation with the unfamiliar staff sister and ask them to treat Yulia, whom she had accidentally injured. Yulia, meanwhile, was seriously observing the mission hall, finally setting her gaze on the commissions.
Commissions! Are these like the guild commissions in manga! Clear all evil spirits from XX mansion, help Ms. XX resolve the attached ordinary evil spirit—this is so cool!
At this moment, a girl with a very sharp aura walked out of the lounge area.
Upon seeing her, the staff members respectfully bowed slightly, their expressions tense.
Yulia noticed the atmosphere suddenly changed and quickly looked over, nervously retreating behind Yotsuya Miko.
"Everyone respects her so much, the atmosphere changed the moment she appeared, she must be some big shot—she's looking over!"
Yulia noticed the other person looking at her, and cold sweat broke out from nervousness. Her hand involuntarily clutched Yotsuya Miko's sleeve.
Yotsuya Miko looked down at Yulia hiding behind her, feeling a bit embarrassed. Although she didn't understand what was going on with Yulia, it seemed Yulia was a bit dependent on her, like her own younger sister.
"Tendo Kisara," Yotsuya Miko quickly greeted the person walking towards her.
Tendo Kisara said, "Miko, since you're already here, why are you standing around? Go see Lord Xia Wei first."
