I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 414 - 37: The Sorrows of People Are Never Shared (Part 4)
This person is really...
......
This is the second stop.

...
At the same time.
"It’s already been a week..."
Himura Kagome stood in the spacious courtyard in front of the shrine’s main hall, looking at the shrine diagonally from her, lamenting that the person she was waiting for simply hadn’t come. This made the girl somewhat doubt whether those two had already gone back through the Bone-Devouring Well without her noticing, or if they never intended to return at all...
Day after day spent in this way, she didn’t even know what she was doing anymore.
But just at this moment, a somewhat noisy sound came from the direction of the Bird House behind her. Himura Kagome turned her head instinctively and her heart skipped a beat.
A large group of people dressed very formally, with serious expressions, were walking through the Bird House into the Himura Shrine grounds. The person leading them maintained a smile well, but it was hard to disguise the commanding presence that came naturally to him.
They’ve arrived!
Himura Kagome’s heart skipped a beat. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but fortunately, there were no clues, and hopefully her grandpa would be competent and not give anything away.
"Miss Himura Kagome... is that correct?"
While she was pondering, the leader had already approached her and solemnly pulled out his identification. "We are from the Ministry of Defense... We are here to investigate the incident that happened near the city center. Please don’t be too nervous. We want to have a good talk with the person in charge of the shrine. We have come with an entirely friendly attitude."
"O-okay..." The sailor uniform girl was somewhat flustered, trying hard to calm herself down. "Grandpa is inside the house, I’ll take you to him..."
She instinctively glanced at the shrine, there shouldn’t be any problems. Inuyasha was resting in there during this period. If anyone approached the shrine, he could just jump into the well and travel back five hundred years... for others, they couldn’t travel through, as the well was indeed just a dried-up well.
Next —
The conversation between the Ministry of Defense investigation team and the Himura Shrine’s person in charge lasted only a dozen minutes.
The Ministry of Defense people came out of the house somewhat disappointed, but it was anticipated. They had visited many shrines and temples that were said to have ancient heritages, but usually did not get any useful results, and it was the same here.
In fact, it was even more persuasive —
"How could our shrine really have any special powers? Kagome? Kagome is even more impossible. Those are all lies. Kagome has always been weak and sickly, and not long ago, she was diagnosed with rheumatism and diabetes... If we had any special heritage, would this be the situation?"
Grandpa Himura said with a face full of distress, holding a large stack of medical records issued by hospitals.
After all, the absenteeism was really too severe, and it wasn’t just something you could handle with a phone call to school to get an excuse; there had to be some concrete evidence, and these meticulous preparations just came in handy at this moment.
"Grandpa..."
The sailor uniform girl’s body trembled, her expression somewhat twisted.
Is there no other way to increase persuasiveness? Is she destined to face social death in the modern world?
