In Takeda Sae's eyes, this mouse was currently looking back at her, seemingly completely unaware of the magical power fluctuation just now.
Could it be that this mouse is very slow to sense magical power?
Takeda Sae did not believe that her magical power couldn't even handle a single mouse, so obviously, this must be the mouse's problem.
Fortunately, she had not spoken just now. The few little girls beside her probably didn't understand what she was trying to do. She just had to pretend she didn't know anything.
Takeda Sae did not want to get into a fight with a mouse, so she closed her eyes and put on a sensing expression.
"Mmm... the residual life force reaction in the room is very strong. It seems your life force has become a bit stronger than when we met a few days ago. With such strong life force, it's naturally easier to attract those things than ordinary people, so you'd better be more careful in the future."
Goko Ruri didn't think too much either. Her attention was on this Godly Mother of Shitamachi.
Before, she had thought this old woman was a fraud, so her attitude towards her was not very polite. But later, she learned from the mysterious person's diary that the other party had real skills, and had only become like this now because her spiritual power had degraded with age.
As a chuunibyou, Goko Ruri's interest in the profession of an exorcist was quite high. In the past few days, she had been secretly using her Reading Value to practice spiritual power. Although the effect was not very good, at least it allowed her to vaguely sense the existence of spiritual power.
Just now, she had sensed a wave of spiritual power that was quite "powerful" compared to her own emanating from the hands of the Godly Mother of Shitamachi. She didn't know when she would be able to reach her level.
And on Jerry's side, what he felt was of another style entirely.
This old woman, is she provoking me?
Although Jerry had not been in contact with spiritual power before, just now, he had very clearly felt a strange energy emanating from this old woman's hands.
This should be the spiritual power that Miyauchi Hikage had mentioned to him.
If Hamon was physical energy, then this spiritual power should be some kind of mental energy.
It was just a pity that the spiritual power this old woman had mastered, whether it was because the energy level was too low or her skill was too low, in any case, this level of mental energy was completely insignificant in Jerry's eyes.
After all, these past few days, he had witnessed a Stand, which was also composed of mental energy, on Miyauchi Hikage's side, and had even learned the Undetectable Extension Charm, which was cast using magical power.
In his senses, at present, the magical power that could easily rewrite space was still a bit more amazing.
But he had heard Miyauchi Hikage mention that high-level Jujutsu Sorcerers could do a lot with spiritual power, so it should be that this old woman's skills were just not up to par.
This level of energy impact felt like a tickle to him.
Jerry thought to himself, feeling that he should be able to easily study the cultivation method of this spiritual power. Maybe it could even give him some inspiration on how to use magical power?
So he prepared to greet Takeda Sae and ask her to teach him that kind of power from just now.
It was just that he didn't expect this old woman to directly close her eyes in front of him, not even glancing at him at all, and even saying things like "people with strong life force are easy to attract those things."
It was pure nonsense. He had stayed at Miyauchi Hikage's house for so many days and had never seen a single vengeful spirit appear within a hundred meters of him.
And on his side, although he didn't have as strong a life force as Miyauchi Hikage, he had not yet encountered any vengeful spirit that was not afraid of him. Basically, they could only be played with like toys by him.
And so, looking at the bluffing Takeda Sae, Jerry decided to teach her a good lesson.
He couldn't be bothered that the prime-time show was not over yet. He immediately ran out of the cabinet, preparing to teach this old woman a lesson.
Takeda Sae, who was originally sensing the fluctuations of spiritual power, subconsciously shivered.
Although she did not feel any malice, as an exorcist, even if she had aged, this reaction was not normal. So Takeda Sae's expression immediately became serious.
I didn't feel the aura of a vengeful spirit, so is it really a youkai causing mischief?
Logically speaking, a modern city like Tokyo should find it very difficult to nurture any great youkai. At most, there are just some small youkai that like to play pranks. A youkai of this level shouldn't have caused her to have such a reaction.
Could it be that some new change has occurred recently?
But before Takeda Sae could think carefully, the lights in the room dimmed again.
"Why did the power go out again?" the young Goko Tamaki was just getting into the TV show. The power outage again made her a little unhappy.
Goko Hinata, on the other hand, had hugged her younger sister the moment the power went out, afraid that some youkai would appear and snatch her away. However, her body was also trembling slightly at the moment, clearly a little scared herself.
It was Goko Ruri who was prepared. The moment the power went out, she took out the flashlight she had prepared earlier, bringing light back to the living room.
Then she looked at the serious-looking Takeda Sae. "Godly Mother, have you found anything?"
Being asked this question, Takeda Sae was a little embarrassed.
To be honest, besides shivering, she hadn't noticed anything else.
"Ahem, there is indeed a problem. Take me to the location of the circuit breaker to have a look. If that youkai appears, it will definitely leave traces."
Goko Ruri glanced at her younger sisters. She had originally thought of letting them stay in the living room and wait for them, but on second thought, to avoid any accidents, she still had her two sisters come out with them.
The group of four quickly walked outside the house and checked the circuit breaker.
Takeda Sae carefully examined the traces near the circuit breaker. This time, she did find something.
Around the circuit breaker, there were a few mouse hairs and traces of having been climbed on and gnawed by a mouse. She even found a relatively hidden mouse hole.
Considering that mice could move freely in people's homes, it didn't seem strange for there to be a mouse hole near the circuit breaker.
It was just that besides these traces left by mice, she had not found any other useful clues.
"It seems to be a very cunning fellow. It looks like I have to make some preparations," Takeda Sae muttered to herself, preparing to use her magic beads to set a spiritual power trap in this vicinity to lure that youkai.
"Fortunately, besides that set of exorcism robes, I have basically all my tools of the trade with me. I don't have to worry about not having enough materials. I'm just afraid that that fellow won't fall for it." To this, Takeda Sae was quite confident, believing that as long as she got serious, these small youkai would definitely not be her opponent.
