Chapter 313 - The Location of Heaven-Repairing Stone (1/2)

In a private detective’s home in Hokkaido, Japan.

“Um…”

Kamikawa Hiko groaned. He slowly opened his eyes and entered a daze while staring at the white ceiling. After a second, he suddenly thought of something and got up quickly.

“Uh!!”

However, when he exerted strength, he would feel a sharp pain in his bones. This pain was enough to stop all his actions. He pressed against his chest and paused halfway.

“This…”

Kamikawa Hiko looked at his body. It was already heavily wrapped in bandages. He had exerted too much strength earlier and the wound had torn apart. Blood started seeping out and the pain kept on coming.

He gritted his teeth and stood up slowly. His whole body was twitching. That pain really made him feel like there were countless sharp knives cutting through his body and then salt and liquor were poured all over it. It was really tearing him apart.

“Um… ha… ha uh…”

Kamikawa Hiko was all wet with sweat. With much difficulty, he turned his head and looked around. He saw a slim figure lying on the bed across him silently. Its body was also entangled in bandages.

“Meiqing… uh!”

He wanted to reach out and grab Meiqing’s hand, but the pain made him struggle to even lift his hand. He ended up falling onto the ground. The pain that came after that made him almost bite his teeth off.

However, he did not make a single sound as he was afraid to disturb Meiqing’s rest. He did not want to wake her up. He just wanted to sit at one side silently and watch her until she wakes up.

“Um! Um…”

Kamikawa Hiko struggled to use his head, the only part of his body that could move, to act as a pivot and slowly crawled till he reached below Meiqing’s bed. Then, enduring the great pain, he sat up with great difficulty and gently sat down by her bed.

“Is… this okay?”

He frowned and asked himself. Then, he recited a Yin-Yang mantra to look at Meiqing’s body. He realized that her primordial spirit was slightly injured and the wounds on her physical body were healing.

Her injuries on her skin were still quite serious, so it was not a good time to wake her up. Otherwise, she would also have to experience this heart wrenching pain.

“Ah! You are already awake!”

Just when Kamikawa Hiko was looking at Meiqing attentively, a voice came from behind him. He turned around and realized that it was a blonde female foreigner in an OL outfit.

“You are?” Kamikawa Hiko asked.

“I forgot to introduce myself, and my name is Jacqueline. I’m an elite magician from Black Tower, I belong in Magic Mentor Merutia’s team,” Jacqueline answered politely.

“Blood Moon Hunter, Kamikawa Hiko. Please take care of me,” Kamikawa Hiko smiled and said.

“No need to be polite, we are all on the same team. And my captain and team leader are also good friends, so we should be considered friends too,” Jacqueline smiled and said.

She was a passionate and cheerful woman. She had a special trait; it seemed like when you saw her smile, you would feel warm in your heart and mind.

Just like her golden hair, she was like a little sun. She radiated all the time.

“Oh, right.”

Jacqueline seemed to thought of something and turned around and smiled. “Sisters, Mr. Kamikawa Hiko is awake! Hurry up with those dishes!”

“Okay!”

A few responses came from outside. A few moments later, three magicians came in at the same time. They were carrying Japanese food, matcha, and cutleries respectively.

“Let me introduce. This is Maggie, Eleanor, Carrie,” Jacqueline said with a smile.

She introduced the three magicians from left to right. She then let them put their things down.

“Oh no! Mr. Kamikawa Hiko’s wound has opened up! I’ll go get the medicine!” Carrie exclaimed.

Then, she put down the matcha and turned to leave. She came back quickly and dressed his wounds.

Kamikawa Hiko nodded and smiled. He then looked at Meiqing and said, “Thank you all, I want to know how long it will be before she wakes up.”

“Miss Meiqing’s injury is slightly better than yours, she should wake up soon,” Jacqueline said.

Kamikawa Hiko nodded. Since she said so, he would believe it. Then, with the assistance of Maggie and Carrie, he ate the food. He missed this familiar cuisine.

Since returning to Japan, they have been fleeing almost all the time, let alone have a meal. Even moments to breathe and rest were luxury.

During this period of time, they fled from city to city. They had gone to almost all cities across Japan. They even went to some hidden places that even the locals did not know.

While on the run, they did go out. Meiqing was a Taoist so she could not eat. However, he was just an onmyōji, so he could not go without food or water for a long period of time.
