I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 344 - 14: In the Modern World

"Do I... seem very strange?"

Walking on the streets at night, Kikyo felt a bit unnatural, reaching out to tug the sleeve of the person beside her, asking softly.

Because there were too many people around, far more than she had ever imagined. After all, the population density of villages and towns in the Warring States Era couldn’t compare to that of a super city like Tokyo in the modern world.

Hustling and bustling, an endless stream, it wasn’t exaggerated to the point of being jostled, but the number of people on just one street far exceeded her expectations.

And the crowd wasn’t the main issue, the problem was the high number of people turning their heads; the witch seemed to have become the focus of the entire street, drawing countless envious glances... she didn’t realize it was because she was too stunning, not even considering that, she subconsciously thought something might be wrong with herself.

"Is it that there are no more witches in this era..."

She hesitated for a while before asking softly.

That’s the first thing that came to mind, thinking perhaps her style clashed with this world five hundred years later, the person next to her didn’t have this problem because his attire was very fitting for this era... only she was dressed in a white robe and red skirt with white tabi socks and sandals as a witch.

It was completely out of place, maybe because this profession no longer existed in this world five hundred years later?

Perhaps that’s why so many surprised glances were drawn?

"That’s not the reason, even in my time, in this country, witches weren’t some rare monsters..." Gu Mo couldn’t help but chuckle at her words, then shook his head, amusingly comforting Kikyo, explaining.

Of course, it couldn’t be that reason, after all, witches are still an important profession in Japan up to the modern day.

Especially in modern times, becoming a witch no longer has strict limitations, and the profession is no longer restricted to some holy spirit medium identity, in some sense it’s perhaps become more common, some modern women work part-time as witches at shrines...

"Really? Then why is everyone looking at me this way?"

Kikyo gently furrowed her brow, a bit uncertain if what he said was true, although the tone didn’t seem fake, she felt the odd gazes from people were very real.

"Isn’t it obvious? Naturally, it’s because you are beautiful and have a good demeanor, it’s no surprise you attract attention."

Gu Mo laughed and shook his head, isn’t this kind of thing obvious? At the same time, he casually glanced around, seeing nothing but eyes trying to act calm or nervously avoiding while a few bold girls made no effort to hide their bright gazes meeting his.

It wasn’t just the witch being noticed, Gu Mo himself also attracted quite a lot of attention and turned heads. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"..." Kikyo gently turned her face away, saying nothing.

She wasn’t relieved by his answer; instead, she felt even more unnatural, even her eyes took on a peculiar expression.

Because no one had ever said such things to her before, so her current feeling was very awkward—she was a witch, she always knew this well, but she was also a young girl, though she never had awareness in this regard.

At this moment, Gu Mo also felt the spotlight was a bit much, he initially wanted to urge the witch to walk faster, but after some thought, he dismissed the idea.

Kikyo seemed very intrigued by this era, filled with curiosity and wonder at everything she saw along the way, though she didn’t show it overtly, maintaining a calm demeanor but occasionally whispering questions to him.

Her composed and calm conduct might fool others into thinking she’s just a modern witch...

And Kikyo’s behavior made Gu Mo dismiss the notion of walking faster... after all, it was the first time seeing her with such interest, better let the witch fully enjoy it. Even just walking this short distance, Kikyo spoke to him more often than ever before.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn’t help but smile, wondering if he should be happy about it.

"What is that place up ahead?"

The witch’s soft voice sounded again, a hint of astonishment in her calm gaze as she looked ahead and asked softly.

"That’s the entrance to a subway station, people gather there to take the subway below... it’s like the vehicle I mentioned before, you can think of the subway as an upgraded version, able to carry more people at once." Gu Mo glanced ahead and quickly explained.

Although his explanation wasn’t entirely accurate, it was the best fit for the witch’s current style, allowing her to quickly comprehend various novel things and form a basic understanding of the modern world.

Perhaps this could also prepare for future plans...

With this thought flashing in his mind, Gu Mo didn’t dwell on it, he just stretched and looked around again. Wherever his gaze passed, many eyes accidentally meeting his were quick to look away in panic.
