Yuu Mizuki, whose thoughts were interrupted by the sudden voice in his ear, withdrew his gaze that had been lingering on Auntie Shiranui and Rinko, raised his head slightly, and looked directly into the eyes of the people in front of him.
"This is a power called Chakra that I accidentally awakened some time ago. Although it is different from the power possessed by Taimanin, it is also referred to as Ninja."
"Chakra is a type of energy produced after the human body perfectly fuses the energies of various components. It can also be understood as a mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy."
Yuu Mizuki briefly explained to Auntie Shiranui, Rinko, and Yukikaze about Chakra, a completely new power system that had never appeared in this world before. He did not explain in detail how exactly he obtained the Chakra.
Of course, neither Shiranui, Rinko, nor Yatsu Murasaki at the side continued to press the issue.
As long as they could confirm that Yuu Mizuki was not bewitched by monsters or some evil demons, and had not obtained power because of being polluted by demonic power, that was enough.
As for exactly through what channel Yuu Mizuki acquired Chakra, a power never seen before, it wasn't that important.
"Yuu-chan, even if you accidentally gained power, you haven't received professional training. What are you doing running here to join in the fun!"
Although she felt relieved and happy that Yuu Mizuki had obtained Chakra and possessed the power to protect himself, Shiranui Mizuki did not show this joy.
Instead, she glared at Yuu Mizuki, who was fully armed in red armor in front of her, with dissatisfaction and scolded him in a deep voice.
"Don't continue messing around here. Do you think subduing monsters is some kind of house-playing game? With me, Yukikaze, and Rinko here, it's enough. Hurry up and go home!"
Although Shiranui Mizuki had told Yuu Mizuki in a relaxed tone on the phone earlier that the subjugation mission she and Yukikaze were going to perform was very simple and there would be no danger at all.
But the actual situation was far less simple than she said. Even the easiest task could have unexpected accidents and encounter various dangers.
The reason she and Yukikaze became Taimanin was that the Mizuki family itself was a Taimanin family with a heritage of hundreds or thousands of years. Even if they wanted to live a quiet life like ordinary people, it was difficult to guarantee that they wouldn't be targeted by the Mizuki family's former enemies.
Yuu Mizuki was different from them. Even though he had the surname Mizuki, he did not have the Mizuki family's bloodline. He didn't need to walk this path of constantly fighting monsters and demons, wandering on the edge of danger.
"Auntie Shiranui, although I haven't received professional training and guidance, I have encountered monsters since gaining power, so I can be considered to have some combat experience."
"So let me go with you to subjugate those monsters. I also want to rely on my own strength to protect Auntie Shiranui and Yukikaze... and Rinko, people who are very important to me!"
Facing Auntie Shiranui's scolding, Yuu Mizuki had no intention of obediently leaving. Instead, he looked at her with a serious face and spoke firmly.
Before he got the cheat, because he didn't possess the Taimanin factor and had no talent for becoming an Onmyoji or Demon Exorcist, even knowing that Yukikaze was sent by Auntie Shiranui to a special school for Taimanin training, he could only choose to watch silently, unable to intervene at all.
Now that he finally had a little power to help, if he still stood by and did nothing, what was the use of this cheat, and what was the meaning of traveling to this world?
"Mom, Onii-chan has already said so. Why don't we let Onii-chan come with us?"
"If we really encounter any danger, I will protect Onii-chan!"
Yukikaze, standing next to Shiranui Mizuki, looked at her mother's face, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly patted her chest to guarantee.
At the same time, Yatsu Murasaki and Akiyama Rinko present also turned their gazes to Shiranui Mizuki.
This mission was originally arranged as a practical ability assessment for the two new Taimanin, Yukikaze and Rinko. If they passed the assessment, Yukikaze and Rinko would likely be allowed to complete various tasks alone as an independent squad in the future.
And for this assessment, Shiranui Mizuki voluntarily applied to be the team leader in charge, and Yatsu Murasaki only joined this mission as an assistant.
As for whether to agree to let Yuu Mizuki join, it should naturally be decided by Shiranui Mizuki.
"Since Yuu-chan has said so much, then you come in with us."
"But remember, after entering this abandoned hospital, follow me or Rinko. Do not act unauthorized!"
In nearly ten years of getting along, Shiranui Mizuki knew very well what kind of character Yuu had.
From a very young age, he showed a maturity inconsistent with his age, and he was very opinionated.
Once he decided on something, it was difficult for anyone to change his mind.
So Shiranui Mizuki didn't continue to persuade or forcefully stop Yuu Mizuki. After solemnly warning him a few times, she turned her head and winked at Yatsu Murasaki and Akiyama Rinko beside her, and the group cautiously walked into the abandoned hospital in front of them.
Due to Yuu Mizuki's joining this mission, her original idea of handing over the various monsters hiding in the abandoned hospital to Yukikaze and Rinko to solve, and incidentally inspecting their current strength level, was dispelled.
Shiranui Mizuki decided to deal with the monsters in the abandoned hospital as soon as possible. After completing this task and going home, she still had a lot of questions she wanted to clear up!
Seeing Auntie Shiranui, Rinko, and the others walk into the abandoned hospital one after another, Yuu Mizuki quickly followed, taking out a shuriken tied with an explosive tag from his system backpack.
In the year or so since acquiring the cheat, he usually only completed some C-rank or D-rank tasks issued by the system. Although he had killed a few monsters, they were all weak, lone monsters wandering the streets at midnight.
He didn't know the specific content of the task Auntie Shiranui and the others needed to complete this time.
However, through simple aura perception, he could be sure that the strength and number of monsters occupying this abandoned hospital exceeded those he had encountered before, so naturally, Yuu Mizuki couldn't relax in the slightest.
Yuu Mizuki followed Auntie Shiranui and Rinko through the outpatient department at the entrance of the abandoned hospital. After going deeper for a while, a smell mixed with decay and fishy stench rushed toward them.
In a room on the first floor of the hospital, several hideous and ugly demons with gray-brown skin, at least two or three meters tall, were gathered together. Their large hands gripped stark naked human women, thrusting their hips and outputting wildly!
In addition to these demons, there were two things with tentacles slowly wriggling on the ceiling of the room. They also used their tentacles to grab two young human women respectively, filling all their holes with slippery tentacles.
The floor and walls of the room were covered with all kinds of filth and bloodstains everywhere. There were also some severed limbs and skeletons of women; it seemed that some of the people captured here had already been tortured to death by these demons.
After discovering the situation in the room, Shiranui Mizuki, Akiyama Rinko, and Yatsu Murasaki rushed in immediately. Waving the weapons in their hands, they beheaded the demons who were engaging in their thrusting movements with a single slash.
At the same time, they cut off the tentacles hanging down from the ceiling and threw the few surviving women who were still alive out of the room.
"Little Yuu, Yukikaze, you two give them simple treatment first, and then take these people to a safe place outside the hospital."
"I can handle things here; I don't need Onii-chan's help!"
Facing the attacks of Shiranui Mizuki, Yatsu Murasaki, and the others, the demons and tentacle monsters in the room had no power to fight back at all and were killed in the blink of an eye, giving Yuu Mizuki no chance to act.
Originally, he thought about helping to treat the few survivors lying on the ground who were saved. But he just took a glance, inadvertently seeing the glaringly white breasts, and then his vision was blocked by Yukikaze, who wouldn't let him continue to help.
"I will notify the logistics personnel to come here and take them back for treatment, and incidentally erase their memories about the monsters. Yuu-kun and Yukikaze might as well wait outside the hospital for the logistics personnel to arrive."
After dealing with the demons and tentacle monsters in the ward, Yatsu Murasaki very carefully took out a barely clean bed sheet from the room and draped it over the bodies of the women who had already fainted. She turned to look at Yuu Mizuki and spoke.
From the current point of view, it seemed that Yuu Mizuki staying here wouldn't be of much help, so it was better to let him wait outside the hospital.
After all, judging from the reactions of Shiranui Mizuki and Akiyama Rinko just now, they were subconsciously protecting Yuu Mizuki, obviously not wanting him to encounter any danger.
"Just taking these few survivors to a safe place to wait for the logistics personnel actually doesn't need to be that troublesome."
Yuu Mizuki glanced at the few young women lying next to him covered with bed sheets who had been ravaged by monsters. He mobilized the Chakra in his body and formed hand seals with both hands.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!)
With a poof and a puff of smoke, a figure exactly like him appeared beside Yuu Mizuki!
As soon as the clone Yuu Mizuki appeared, he directly picked up the women on the ground and walked out of the hospital, taking two trips back and forth to carry all the rescued women to a safe place outside the hospital.
He now has the strength of an Elite Chunin at any rate. Although a Jutsu like Shadow Clone cannot compare with Naruto or Senju Hashirama in terms of Chakra volume, separating one or two shadow clones will not cause any impact on him.
It was just this operation by Yuu Mizuki that surprised Shiranui Mizuki and the others present so much that they couldn't speak for a while!
