Kurahashi Miyo's words made Rozen have only one thought.
"What a bad taste, Sensei."
Rozen curled his lips and said such a thing.
"Ah, why do you say that?"
Kurahashi Miyo responded with some pretense.
But Rozen didn't buy it.
"This happened half a year ago. You should have known about this for a long time. Isn't it a bad taste to bring it up now?"
So Rozen was speechless.
Indeed, Rozen didn't expect that Urashina Suzuka hadn't been released for half a year. However, with the connection of the Shikigami contract, Rozen could still know that Urashina Suzuka was safe and sound, so he wasn't in a hurry.
And not many people in the industry knew about this.
If the world knew that Urashina Suzuka, one of the twelve Divine Generals and the spokesperson of Yin-Yang Hall, became a terrible curse criminal like her father, not only Urashina Suzuka would be in trouble, but the image of Yin-Yang Hall would also be affected.
That was what Yin-Yang Hall tried its best to avoid.
Because Yin-Yang Hall was currently trying to establish a good image in front of the public.
In fact, Onmyoji had always been unpopular with the general public.
There were many reasons, but there were two main ones.
The first reason was that the spell community was quite xenophobic. They discriminated between those with talent and those without, causing the public to have a bad impression of the spell community.
The other was that the modern curse originated from the Pacific War half a century ago, which was developed by Nozomu Nozomu.
The modern curse developed in the context of the war, due to the particularity of its origin, was strictly limited. Behind its excellent convenience and versatility, only a very small part of its use was disclosed to the public.
But like Spiritual Hazards, modern curse was also the legacy of Nozomu Nozomu. No matter how much it was restricted and controlled, sometimes there were still Onmyoji who broke free from the shackles and showed their fangs, causing a significant increase in curse crimes nationwide in recent years.
Because of this, the public had always been averse to curses.
Therefore, most of the incidents that didn't attract the attention of the general public were handled by the so-called "industry insiders." This was to show off the excellence of the Yin Yang Hall, and also to show the public that other than doing some work related to eliminating spiritual disasters, Yin Yang Masters were basically isolated from the world.
Therefore, Yin Yang Hall wanted to establish a good image in front of the public. That was why they made Nishinodera Suzuka their spokesperson.
If such a person became a criminal of curses, the Yin Yang Hall's wishful thinking would be completely destroyed. They naturally did not want this to happen.
Because of this, the matter of Odanji Suzuka had always been concealed and not made public.
But what kind of person was Kurahashi Miyo?
The former head of the Kurahashi family, the head teacher of the Yin Yang School, and a famous stargazer, had a long reputation in the industry and a wide network. How could he not know about this?
Only bringing it up after half a year, if it wasn't bad taste, then what was?
That was what Rozen meant.
"You've misunderstood, Qiu Guan." Kurahashi Miyo innocently said, "After all, I'm a semi-retired person. It's not strange that I only know about this matter now, right?"
It had better be so.
Rozen shrugged indifferently.
But Kurahashi Miyo slightly opened her eyes, looked at Rozen, and smiled meaningfully.
"In this way, in addition to the Flying Car Pill, you also obtained the Horned Ghost."
Kurahashi Miyo's words made Rozen frown.
"Flying Cart Pill."
"Horned Ghost."
They were once Ye Guang's protectors, two extremely powerful Spirit-branded Retainers. It was said that they even held official positions in the military. It was a very unprecedented thing back then, and thus they were talked about by later generations.
Among them, Hotaru Maru was once a member of the Earth Imperial Sect's branch family. Following the family rules, he became Night Light's Spirit-branded Retainer.
Based on this, Kurahashi Miyo once said that Natsume was Rozen's Speeder Maru.
But …
"Suzuka has nothing to do with Horned Ghost at all. Isn't it too far-fetched to say that?"
Rozen refuted.
That was true.
Unlike the Speeder Maru, the Horned Ghost wasn't a human, but a real ghost that had lived for more than a thousand years. He was once regarded as the Ghost King, and his strength was immeasurable.
Perhaps Suzuka was also very strong, but she was not a ghost. Wasn't it far-fetched to say that she was Horned Ghost?
However …
"Even Horned Ghost was subdued by Night Light to become his Spirit-branded Retainer. Originally, Horned Ghost was a very free Ghost King."
Kurahashi Miyo calmly explained it like that.
"In contrast, although the Child Prodigy is not a ghost, he was also subdued by you to become your Spirit-branded Retainer. From this point of view, don't you think that child is very suitable for this position?"
Kurahashi Miyo's statement did not make Rozen feel relieved, nor did it make Rozen agree. Instead, he frowned deeper and deeper.
"I say, Sensei." So Rozen said with a smile: "Can you please don't keep me and Night Light together? That will make people feel very unhappy, okay? "
When he said this, Rozen's tone was indeed full of displeasure.
Wasn't he trying to say that he, who had two similar Spirit-branded Retainers, was Night Light the one who had two similar Spirit-branded Retainers?
"I'll say it again, I'm not Luminous Guy." Rozen couldn't help but say, "Please don't make me repeat it again, okay?"
Rozen's tone sounded like an ultimatum.
"… Is that so?"
Kurahashi Miyo was silent for a moment, then smiled.
In the next second, Kurahashi Miyo once again abruptly changed the topic.
"In that case, do you want to consider taking my granddaughter as a Spirit-branded Retainer?"
Kurahashi Miyo suddenly said such a thing.
"Huh?"
Rozen suddenly froze.
Take Kyōko Kurahashi as a Spirit-branded Retainer?
"Are you kidding me?"
Rozen's words almost blurted out.
"Can't I?" Kurahashi Miyo said very calmly: "Recently, the child seems to have been troubled by something, so I think this should be the best solution."
What the hell?
At this moment, even Rozen felt a little inexplicable.
But what he wanted to say was very clear.
"I don't know what you want to say, but even if you say so, the young lady will not agree to become my Spirit-branded Retainer. You really think too much."
Rozen threw out such words with a smile.
Rozen didn't notice …
"Qiuguan classmate, you are unexpectedly a fool."
Kurahashi Miyo looked at Rozen with pity and sympathy and said so.
"It seems that even the smartest person can't understand a girl's heart. I hope you can use your intelligence in this aspect."
After that, Kurahashi Miyo didn't wait for Rozen to answer, and in her usual style, cut to the topic for the third time.
