I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 416 - 38: Time, Experience, and Photographs (Part 2)

It would be best to even supplement the hospital records.

Now is the time while the situation is still chaotic, and our own shrine hasn’t become the focal point of attention yet.

It requires using some unscientific powers, which made Himura Kagome involuntarily curl her lips. She suddenly realized that despite her growth during this time, there are still many shortcomings.

Though she inherited the massive spiritual power that stands out throughout an entire era, apart from instinctively squandering and bursting, and channeling it into her bow and arrow—

She really doesn’t know any other usage, it seems... not even a little bit of additional spell has been mastered.

Of course, she can’t blame herself for not trying hard enough. She’s not made of iron; on one side, she needs to collect the Four Souls Jade and fight demons and monsters. On the other, she has to cope with the pressures of advancement exams during her leave, already busy to the point of tearing her hair out...

In such a situation, how can this young girl be expected to have extra heart power to juggle other matters?

Sighing long and deeply, Himura Kagome looked toward the direction of the shrine. She could only go back to consult with Master Maitreya for guidance... Hmm, perhaps Little Fox Qi Bao could also be of help. Although the little fox demon’s combat power is not strong, illusion techniques can still play some role.

Just recently, after witnessing the power of that great demon and discovering that the demon fox could be strong to such an extent, it seems some misconception occurred...

It’s unclear whether Qi Bao found the right direction because of it, or lost himself because of it. It’s said that this little guy, uncharacteristically rare, has been diligently training demonic power and studying demon techniques every day this time...

However, on the whole... this might count as a good thing?

...

...

The same old saying goes.

The joys and sorrows of people are not interconnected, so while Himura Kagome frets to the point of going bald trying to clean up the mess, another person on the other side is living a very fulfilling and joyous life.

But that’s of course how it is; having already helped save the world, he has no interest in meddling with the remaining aftereffects now... After all, the protagonist team is blessed by the celestial mandate, and the correction power in this direction indeed seems to exist. There’s no need to worry too much.

Now, Gu Mo is traveling around with the witch, relaxing during the day and studying at night under lamplight—

Because of the spiritual power being so strong, as long as it’s not in battle consuming a significant portion drastically, maintaining the rhythm at the level of ordinary people is as good as negligible loss, and even slower than his recovery speed...

Therefore, Gu Mo doesn’t really need much rest; he’s always full of energy and naturally needs to make use of the nighttime.

Emmmmm, in a sense, this could be said to have at least doubled the length of his life?

Previously, there was no time to delve deeply, but now there is not only time but he has also truly chosen a profession. It’s hard to say how much extra this contributes, but the speed of accumulating professional experience has become "normal", no longer so low as to be shocking.

So Gu Mo’s progress is rather good, and the legacy left by the elder immortal, focusing on illusion techniques and transformation, fortunately aligns somewhat with Gu Mo’s development direction.

Through preliminary training and study, he is gradually mastering related knowledge in this area. Although it’s still quite elementary, this is nonetheless a systematic, structured introduction.

Thus—

The days pass one by one...

The scrolls Gu Mo has read gradually increase, so the accumulated experience is vividly reflected on the skills page in the system panel. It’s the proficiency slowly and surely accumulating, filling up the progress bar...

Just like the rolls of film he photographed, their thickness is unknowingly slowly increasing.

The scenery outside the window quickly recedes; it’s the sky and the sea, or endless fields of flowers...

The long trains cross bridges standing over rivers, or speed along the coastal lines...

Cities, forests, fields, oceans, snow-capped mountains, green grass, as if traversing the longitudinal seasons of time...

...

...

Time has come to this day.

The so-called summer ambience poem is naturally the bustling festivals.

Wearing yukata, goldfish scooping, parading at the fireworks festival with fans... These are things that the former Gu Mo had only seen in animations, so they also carry a sense of novelty.

In his understanding, a summer festival is akin to a temple fair in this country, a folk festival with celebratory activities and parades. The venues where festival events are held often have stalls for snacks and souvenirs, naturally appearing very lively.

Under the thick night, the canopy resembles a deep blue and vast ocean. With flutes and drumbeats, numerous flower cars of various sizes parade along the streets, painted with ancient stories that are unfathomable.

People make a lively hustle and bustle on the roads, with some dancing to the drumbeats.

By the side, boats sail on the broad river, with splendid lights contrasting with the night-blackened river surface, creating a magnificent and colorful scene.

The crowd is especially dense, almost everyone wearing cool yukata, making Gu Mo appear slightly out of place in such a situation... Although he doesn’t mind too much.

The main reason is that the witch did not intend to change into other clothes, and since she didn’t plan to, Gu Mo naturally wasn’t interested either. The reason for his somewhat odd appearance is that Kikyo’s original attire is the traditional witch outfit.
