After a 10-minute bump in the deserted subway, I got off at the nearest subway station to Daigo Dojo and galloped all the way to the entrance of Daigo Dojo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But...... It didn't seem to have happened, the house, the fence, the road, and the telephone poles stood as they were, and there seemed to be no traces of machine-gun fire, let alone stains scorched by the fireball, and not long after standing still, a figure turned out of the wall in the distance, and all the way to me with a small cannon, "You are Miss Fran?" I'm a friend of Edogawa and I'm in charge of this surveillance, you can call me by my code name, Rabit Eight. ”

This is an inconspicuous man who at first glance makes one think that he is extremely suitable for this kind of work, nearly one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, wearing an ordinary shirt and trousers, thirty years old, with a hairstyle, face shape, and facial features that are almost forgotten at first sight - or in the extreme, one may not consciously think that they seem to have seen him in many places, of course, this does not mean that he is elusive and ubiquitous, but that his face and body are extremely human standards, Bao Zhun is one of the standard human templates to be placed in the next batch of Pioneer probes, "Ah, okay Bunnyhachi, cough, Mr. Rabbit Eight, have there been any other anomalies since you reported to Edogawa?" ”

"There are no other visitors, and there is no trace of those special forces that Edogawa has alerted me, but of course if they are so magical, they may be able to escape my surveillance."

"Oh, that's good, after that strange girl went in, did there be any unusual reaction in the house?"

"It's quiet, no, because of the sound of the TV and other noises, I didn't notice anything else, maybe it was just an ordinary student visit."

"That's not what you reported before."

"It's a necessary vigilance, it's a professional quality."

...... "I think it's more reliable to come and see it in person, anyway, I'm already outside the dojo, so it's only natural to visit Masako's house."

"You're going to come to the door? Do I need to avoid or continue to monitor my surroundings? ”

"Just do it at the pace that Edogawa has commissioned, ah, and besides, you didn't sneak the listening or surveillance equipment into someone's house, did you?"

"Trust our expertise, surveillance and surveillance are only for the vicinity of the dojo, not the interior, and this is only a civilian-grade mission."

"What about military grade?"

"Then it's time to talk about a different set of work ethic."

"Ah good, Rabbit Eighth Army Cao, please continue to monitor, don't care about my activities."

"Yes! Ah, and I don't have a rank, so that military cao or something......"

Getting rid of my gaze, Getting Bit Eight shut up without complaining, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared again into the dim streetlight.

Completely out of the concealment, I came to the door of the dojo, and easily locked on to the four people in the house and a cat through the feedback of the magic thread, the only adult, the mother of the two sisters, was staying alone in the room deep in the courtyard, as if she was working through a notebook, while the other three people and a cat stayed in the small tea room next to the living room and seemed to be chatting, two of them were undoubtedly Masako and her sister Kyoko, and the rough information fed back by the third person through the silk thread gave me a very familiar feeling, and I was not in a hurry to immediately draw the appearance of the visitor, After entering, you will naturally know who she is, and the last cat is naturally the pet of the Earth Spirit Hall who exposed the cat demon in front of the apricot.

I first sent a message to Masako that I had come to her door, and then knocked on the door of the painted dojo, which was supposed to be my first official visit to Masako's house.

"It's coming, it's coming." Masako's voice sounded, and the purpose of her shouting was probably to inform her mother that she didn't have to come to open the door herself, the door opened, and Masako, a girl dressed in the same sailor suit as Ah Miao, appeared in front of me, her complexion didn't look very good, "Alice......

"The watchman told me there was an unusual visitor coming in." I sent the security measures that had been arranged through Edogawa from last night to today, so that she would immediately understand why I had suddenly appeared outside her house.

"Phew—that's it, thank you, Alice. In order to protect Kyoko and this family, I'm sorry I can't let my mother thank you in person, and I'm still hiding it from her. ”

"That's all easy. It's right to hide from your mother, and knowing too much and not being able to solve the problem will only increase your troubles. ”

"Huh...... If you can understand, there is exactly a ...... Trouble needs Alice's advice. ”

"The visitor? Not a classmate who cares about your health? ”

"No, I haven't seen that person, that person, but in your mind I know who she is."

When she said this, combined with the familiarity I had experienced from the magic thread and the information about the disability below the calf of my right foot, I guessed the identity of the visitor, and then asked in amazement, "Reika Konoe?" ”

"Yes, yes...... I—I almost killed her, and finally I resisted the urge. ”

"Well, very good, very good, maybe you have already made a clear choice and crossed the first obstacle of cultivation."

"I—I don't know......," she looked down and hesitated for a moment, "Either way, Reika Konoe is inside, and it's up to Alice to decide." ”

"Okay, let's go inside." As I stepped through the door, I asked, "Did you tell your sister what happened when you got home?" She should have also found traces of a cat demon last night, ah, it is the black cat that is left in your house now. ”

"Huh? Did you leave that black cat behind, too? Apricot and Apricot are very smart, I can't hide it from her, so I have selectively told her what happened, and Apricot is also very strong, I don't want her to be kept in the dark and may be frightened at any time. ”

"It's okay to tell her that my sister is not in the same situation as my mother, but don't let her impulsively go for trouble."

"No, no, apricot won't."

"Sister!" A little girl jumped out from behind the doorpost under the eaves, and I naturally recognized it as an apricot after seeing it twice, and she took Masako's hand a little nervously, and cast her gaze at me revealing uneasiness, "Is this person, this person an enemy again?" ”

"Wrong, apricot, this is the benefactor, Miss Alice who saved my sister and you."

"Oh! Last night's! Last night's ...... I didn't see it clearly, but I was the big sister who helped Ah Yi run away from the bad guys! ”

"Ah, yes, yes...... Right? "This little girl is so normal! At this moment, my heart is extremely emotional.,Finally, after having had enough of Gensokyo's many mischievous Lori, I met a normal human little girl who has no special abilities and doesn't seem to have a hobby of mischief!

"Meow! Alice Meow! The little black cat jumped out and rubbed my calf to complain, "Didn't you go looking for reinforcements, I have been nervous all day since last night, but there are no monsters today, but there seem to be strange people haunting." ”

"The strange person is the reinforcements, although they can't provide fire support because they are civilian."

"Meow?"
