"I'm embarrassed to say that. Midori Sawai said embarrassed, but there was no apology in his tone and demeanor, "Actually, does Manaka know why I came back from Kyoto?"

"Why?" Li Xuehao asked along with her words, of course, not because he was led by her nose, but because he was indeed a little curious.

"I don't know if I've ever heard of 'Shubi'?" "Midori Sawai may have been tired of carrying a suitcase, so he changed to another hand, and the hand that was originally carrying the suitcase was changed to carrying the long package.

"What's that?" Li Xuehao was sure that this was the first time he had heard this unfamiliar word.

The so-called "magic competition" is a magic competition, which is generally a competition between two universities for onmyoji. Midori Sawai explained, "For example, our Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo's 'Shubi', where our Kyoto University sends a five-person onmyoji and the five-person onmyoji sent by the University of Tokyo compete against each other in onmyojutsu, and the winner gets a prize, which is similar to the rules of the kendo team competition. ”

"Hmm. Li Xuehao nodded, but he still didn't understand what this had to do with Sawai Midori's return.

Midori Sawai continued, "The results of the 'Jubi' directly determine the ranking of the two universities in the Onmyoji world, as well as the number of people who will participate in the Onmyoji Fortune God Gathering in the coming year. ”

"If we lose, the ranking will drop, and we will have to give up two places to participate in the Lucky God Gathering next year......"

"Miss Sawai, you still haven't said why you came back. Li Xuehao listened a little impatiently, and said so much, but he hadn't gotten to the point yet.

Midori Sawai glared at him, as if to blame him for his limited patience: "'Shubi' is the reason why I came back this time, and every year on the second weekend of June, it is the period of 'Shubi' at Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo. ”

"In other words, you are one of the five representatives sent by Kyoto University this time?" Li Xuehao immediately understood.

"No, one of the four represents, to be exact. Midori Sawai shook his head, looking at him with a gaze that suddenly became meaningful.

"Huh?" Li Xuehao was slightly stunned, he just said that it was a group of five, why did he become four people now, could it be that he changed the rules?

"Don't you think it's strange? Actually, not at all, because the 'Shubi' between the two schools can invite 'foreign aid', but the object of 'foreign aid' is limited to not more than twenty-five years old, and it can't be an onmyoji in another university. Midori Sawai said eloquently.

Combined with the meaningful gaze of Sawai Midori just now, Li Xuehao vaguely guessed something, the "foreign aid" invited by "Shubi" cannot be more than twenty-five years old, and he can't be an onmyoji in another university, so his identity is very consistent, and Sawai Midori's purpose is about to come out.

"Is Miss Sawai going to invite me to be your 'foreign aid' at Kyoto University?" Li Xuehao asked directly, already having a decision in his heart, if this was really Midori Sawai's purpose, he would definitely refuse, he was not obliged to participate in this boring "Shubi".

"Of course not!" Sawai's reply was unexpected.

Li Xuehao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't invite him, he still talked a lot of nonsense with him, he was already ready to refuse.

"Haha, is it surprising? But I'd be very happy if Manaka was willing to be our 'foreign aid' at Kyoto University, and I think the people of Tokyo University would just throw in the towel. Midori Sawai said half-truthfully.

"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in participating. Li Xuehao directly dispelled her thoughts.

Although Midori Sawai pretended to be indifferent, a trace of regret flashed in the depths of his eyes: "So, the person I want to invite is the shrine maiden Sayuri." ”

"Sayuri?" Li Xuehao couldn't help frowning, "I remember you just said that the identity of 'foreign aid' can't be an onmyoji in other universities. "Sayuri Chiba, as a student at Toyo Eiwa University, obviously does not meet this condition.

Midori Sawai smiled slightly: "That's because I didn't make it clear, the university I'm referring to is a university that can participate in the 'jubi', and Toyo Eiwa University doesn't have the qualifications for 'jubi', so the shrine maiden Sayuri can be our 'foreign aid' at Kyoto University." ”

This can be explained, Li Xuehao's brows eased slightly, with the strength of Sayuri Chiba, plus the ring he retrieved from the white giant fish - Tu Linger, her strength with teleportation has skyrocketed, and when the "foreign aid" is more than enough, maybe she can sweep the opponent.

Knowing the person Sawai Midori was going to invite, Li Xuehao didn't make a decision for Chiba Sayuri, and he didn't know if Chiba Sayuri would participate in that "magic competition", the reason why Sawai Midori found him was probably to let him be a lobbyist, but this was obviously the wrong person.

"Miss Sawai, if you want to invite Sayuri as a 'foreign aid', you can only go to her in person, and I have no right to make any decisions for her. ”

This sentence made Sawai Midori look him up and down again: "Manaka, it seems that the witch Sayuri has found a good home, but it's a pity that there are too few gentle, powerful and powerful men like you, which makes me very excited, I haven't had a boyfriend until now, how about it, are you interested in being my first man?"

"Uh......" Li Xuehao was choked by her words that took a big leap, and said with some displeasure, "Miss Sawai, I don't like to make jokes like this. ”

"Are you kidding?" Midori Sawai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and said after a while, "Don't worry, I won't let the shrine maiden Sayuri help in vain, you can go back and tell her that as long as she agrees to be our 'foreign aid' for this 'Shubi', I will pay a reward that she can't refuse." ”

"Can't refuse?" Li Xuehao's eyes froze, how confident he was to say such a thing.

Midori Sawai nodded, and said confidently: "That's right, it's a reward she can't refuse!

"Two?" Li Xuehao suddenly realized something.

"Yes, one of them is 'Chiba Maru', and the other is ......" Speaking of this, Midori Sawai paused, and suddenly raised the long strip of wrap in his hand, and shook off the strip of cloth outside, revealing the gray-black scabbard inside, "It's the sword in my hand, 'Ghost Slash'!"

"You mean to say that as long as Sayuri is willing to cooperate with your 'foreign aid', this sword is her reward?" Li Xuehao's expression changed slightly, the sword in Sawai Midori's hand was actually one of the two divine swords handed down from the Chiba Shrine, he remembered very well that Sawai Midori was very precious to this sword at the beginning, as her precious weapon, would she be willing to use it as a reward?
