I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Cocktail receptions, a form of entertainment, originated in Europe and the United States. Because they are more economical and simpler than banquets, they are still used today. They play an important role in people's social interactions. They are often used to commemorate and celebrate birthdays, or to communicate with social groups or individuals. Used to enhance feelings.

In countries like Japan, which are heavily influenced by the West, drinking parties have become a very common form of social interaction. The Japanese combined Western-style drinking parties with local Japanese eating and banquet habits to create a unique Japanese-style drinking party.

The drinking party that Tsuraya, Elsa, Shinji, and Sakura will attend is a typical Japanese drinking party. There are not only drinks and cold dishes from the West, but also Japanese soups, grilled food, fried food, Boiled food, sashimi.

However, no matter what kind of cocktail party it is, it is not a buffet. You cannot eat and drink without scruples. Tasting is the basic etiquette of cocktail parties. In addition, Shinji is the son of Matou Tsuraya, the head of the Matou family (to the outside world). A lot of people's eyes are gathered, and every move requires more attention, so Shenji has never liked participating in such activities.

——The only exception is today. He is very interested in this family, no, to be precise, a person in this family.

The Asakami family, whose main family is located in Nagano, once had a prominent reputation in the mysterious world.

Different from the Matou family of European immigrants, the Asakami family is a native Japanese family whose main business is "exorcism".

In Japan, "distortions of nature" are called demons, and exorcism means to repair the distortion, which may be a distorted phenomenon or a distorted species. The Asakami family was once one of the four most famous demon exorcism families in Japan, but now its population is declining and it is gradually declining. Due to poor management, it owes a large amount of debt and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Tonight's cocktail party seemed like an ordinary social gathering, but in fact it was the Asakami family's last struggle. The reason why we are not in Nagano but in Kanfuko City is because our family can no longer support a large-scale cocktail party, so we can only ask the Asagami family, a very powerful branch family in Kanfuko City, for help.

The Matou family had several dealings with the Asakami family in the spiritual land leasing business during the Zouken period. Tsuraya also had several cooperation projects with the Asakami family's Asakami Construction Co., Ltd., so he was invited. It happened that Shinji said that he had something to go to Kanfuko City. Sakura insisted on going with her brother, so she took the two children with her. She originally planned to send them to the Matou family's annex, and she and Elsa would go there. At the cocktail party, Shinji unexpectedly learned that the cocktail party was hosted by Empress Asagami and uncharacteristically asked to attend. This was the scene before the cocktail party.

At the cocktail party, Shen Er successfully met the person he wanted to see.

This is a girl who is a few years older than Shinji, with long purple hair that is somewhat similar to Sakura. The girl's eyes were cold and she looked very quiet. The small, upright face is very cute, and the pointed jaw and delicate balance are reminiscent of Japanese dolls.

Her long hair extends all the way down her back. Her sideburns are slightly tied up from her ears and hang down symmetrically to her chest. Her forehead hair is cut beautifully, giving her the unique temperament of a noble lady.

The girl's name is Asagami Fujino, she is the main character in the third chapter of "Sky Realm" "Remaining Pain" and one of the four most delinquent girls in the moon. call).

Of course, she is still as pure as a little flower, blooming quietly in the corner, as if forgotten by the whole world.

Shinji walked past Asagami Fujino with his head lowered. Perhaps due to lack of concentration, Shinji accidentally stepped on Fujino's foot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you when I stepped on you."

Shinji apologized quickly. Although his head was shaking, his eyes never left Fujino's face.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."

Fujino's voice was not loud, and his soft tone showed good upbringing.

"No, no, please don't force me. My family always says that my steps are too heavy, and the stairs at home have been broken several times. If I step on you and it hurts you, I must tell you -"

Shinji approached diligently, with an innocent smile on his face.

"——Or, sister, you can't feel the pain at all?"

Fujino's slender body trembled, the goblet slipped from his hand, and an unconcealed panic appeared on Wen Jing's face.

Shenji seemed to be well prepared. He grabbed the goblet with his left hand and gently and skillfully caught it without even spilling a drop of juice in the cup.

"You said you shouldn't force it. It hurts so much that I can't even hold the cup. I'll help my sister over there to rest for a while."

"Ah, um."

Shinji's smiling face made Fujino feel inexplicable fear, but she could not refuse Shinji's request, so she could only let this boy who looked younger than herself help her leave.

At the cocktail party, all diners are required to stand. There are no fixed seats or standing positions. There are only a few seats on one side for the elderly and tired people to take a rest.

The two of them were in the deepest part of the rest area, where the lights were dimmest.

"Do you feel better?"

"Well, much better."

"As expected, sister, you can't feel the pain." Shen Er deliberately controlled the force of the kick just now. Not to mention the pain, if he was too slow to feel, he wouldn't even notice that he was stepped on.

The sudden words made Fujino's slightly improved face turn pale again. She looked at Shenji with horrified eyes and murmured, but made no sound.

"Don't deny it, and don't ask me how I know it. You just need to know that I may be able to restore your pain sensation."

The smile on Shinji's face remained unchanged from beginning to end, but in Fujino's eyes, the smile gradually changed from a fear that made people want to stay away to an irresistible attraction, as if it was the temptation of a "demon".

"Are you telling the truth?" Fujino asked involuntarily.

"Of course it's true. What happens next must be kept secret and cannot be told to anyone."

"Um."

After getting Fujino's affirmative answer, Shinji stretched out his finger and carved a rune between Fujino's eyebrows, and then flicked hard on the place where the rune was carved.

Along with the sound of nails hitting the skin, a strange feeling was transmitted to Fujino's brain through the peripheral nerves under the skin.

It's a visceral feeling, an unpleasant one. This is also a warning to keep the body away from danger.

A normal person would definitely take action to eliminate this feeling as soon as possible. But Fujino was different. She couldn't feel the pain and she longed for this feeling from the bottom of her heart. This feeling made people feel unhappy inside.

"This is."

"This is the pain."

Shinji said, and flicked Fujino's forehead again, harder than the previous time, leaving a light red mark on Fujino's fair skin.

"It turns out. This is pain."

The red mark did not affect Fujino's beauty. Her whole face turned red, her eyes were glowing with inexplicable excitement, and even the air in front of her eyes seemed to become distorted. She begged Shinji in a completely different tone than before.

"Can you do it again?"

"Unfortunately, we can't." Shenji shook his head, "I only made you feel pain temporarily, and I didn't really restore your pain. If you want to truly restore your pain, go to the Matou family's annex tomorrow morning. Come, the reason is, I want to spend two days in Guanbuzi City, and I hope you can be my guide——"

"——Will you come? Asagami Fujino."
