Chapter 23: Talking

The people in this world are naturally strange, there are enthusiastic good people like Miss Aozaki, there are also "bad guys" like Reika Konoe who do whatever it takes for selfish desires, there are inexplicable demons like the mysterious person who rolls up the demon wind, there are villains like the tiger demon jackal who worked hard for the boss but eventually lost his life, there are mortals like Daigo Masako who betrayed their friends out of fear, and there are stupid people like me who toiled for the friends I met for the first time but died.

But I became more and more convinced that this was part of my practice, and I had to do my best to face the difficulties, not only for my friends, but also for myself, and of course there should be no career ideals in a person's life - for me it is the study of magic - and the inevitable interpersonal interactions and other things I have seen and heard, in my heart, there are many important people, but most of them are powerful people who don't need me to worry about it, only Miss Patchy has made me a little worried, as for Marisa, not necessarily very much, But it's the guy I'm not worried about at all.

Doing my best for my friend Ah Miao, who was reincarnated soon after the first time, is an important testimony to my interpersonal communication or the activities of the human world, which is more important than the study of magic at present, perhaps this is not only a part of the practice, but also a part of the obstacle of the test, the magic and mystery of this world still seem to be beyond the comprehension of people or even gods - having said that, what happened to me in the past few days seems to be just a coincidence, but is it really a coincidence? No, I don't dare to think any further......

When it came to meeting a runaway high school girl, Miss Aosaki began to feel uneasy, and when I recounted the death of Ah Miao in a calm tone that was also surprising, the editor had covered her mouth to express her sorrow and regret, and when I heard that I had killed everyone except the fashionable lady who was suspected of being shady, the listener's eyes no longer fluctuated and gave me the illusion of maternal care, and then torture, confrontation, and mysterious people swept the scene of the massacre......

Finally, I told Miss Aosaki, "My current plan is to approach the chief of the National Police Agency first and see what I can find, and I think Reika Konoe's words are very watery, and this chief of the National Police Agency is not necessarily the real shady thing, and she may have the evil idea of crashing me headlong into a web that is more complicated and difficult to break free." ”

"Alas, for you who don't have an official identity in the outside world, it's almost impossible to get close to high-ranking government officials normally," she listened to me quietly, and then sighed, "Actually, my family seems to have some business dealings with some bureaucrats, but I never take care of my family's affairs, and I don't really want to take over the family business, so I don't have much experience, but Miss Alice, please rest assured, I probably have a way to help you find out something, I remember that a company under my father's group has business dealings with the logistics department of the National Police Agency, This may be a breakthrough. ”

"Really?" I came with hope, but when I did, I couldn't help but be surprised, "I may not be able to repay your help......

"Don't say that, I've always had an indescribable feeling that you, Miss Patchouli, and Miss Sakiya are elven-like characters who are not suitable for touching the mundane things of the outside world, just like the elves in the story who are supposed to live carefree in the forest, and it is because of me that you came to this complicated outside world unexpectedly...... Don't be too busy denying it, at least it's me. ”

"Uh-huh......"

"For the sake of the girl I met for the first time, I would like to spare no effort to actively investigate regardless of my own safety...... And only wonderful people from the magical Gensokyo can do this for their friends. "By danger, of course, I was telling her that I was fighting with the two youkai.

"Actually......" has already been said to me, both betrayed my friend's Masako-san, I didn't tell Miss Aosaki about what happened later, and she didn't know that there was Masako, and I also considered it to reduce her contact in this matter to protect her as much as possible, as for the front unreservedly told her and the plate, it was to remind her that there are such people, such organizations, and such gangs in the world, but as an ordinary person who works in peace, Miss Aosaki probably can't encounter similar incidents, Otherwise, there is no need for ordinary civilians to judge the security of Tokyo, "Anyway, I'll just tell you, Miss Aosaki must not try to detect the so-called youkai, what they do is actually no different from people, but it is much more dangerous than ordinary people." ”

"Ah...... I—Of course, I'm not going to ask for it, but there's something like that hidden in human society...... The guys are scary enough. ”

"Those armed black suits who obey the orders of the organization are no different from the two monsters who obey the orders of the organization, and for people, their danger is the same, they will not provoke the so-called underground forces, and they will not encounter sinister dangers for no reason."

"Alas...... Minister Nakamura should be a good policeman, but this world is always unreasonable. ”

"I'm not going to reason with them, the investigation is just the first step."

"Please take care of yourself."

I smiled and reassured her: "I still have a hole card for help." "Of course, I can't contact any of these so-called hole cards at the moment, including the elusive Sister Purple, Miss Patchy who worries about me, or the gods of Monster Mountain, etc., in fact, I can still get in touch with Patchy through Shanghai as an intermediary, but I have decided not to contact her until my cultivation obstacles are completely resolved, my plan needs to be slowly settled and processed for a long time, and she can't leave the Red Devil Pavilion for a long time and can't provide me with much help I need, so that she knows what happened to me and worries her.

"yes, yes, but that...... If there are monsters, are there also monster hunters? As a publisher, I can't help but be curious, but even though it's all bad themes in novels and comics. ”

"Uh-"

In the past, I thought that the so-called monster hunter was a legend or a joke at all, and the demons of the entire continent in the outside world may not be able to fill the population of a small village - at least before I came to Gensokyo, I felt that the so-called monsters were just humanistic legends of the ancient oriental country with no practical significance at all, of course, the later life in Gensokyo made me know that I was not broad-minded enough at the beginning - what is the strength of this so-called monster that is almost negligible compared to the population density? And if it is a monster that has no obvious signs of making waves and is completely integrated into the life and production of human society, is it considered a monster in the traditional sense? Who can waste their time doing so much to identify and catch youkai so idlely?

But! The Tiger Demon, the Jackal Demon and the mysterious man who attacked me and Ah Miao made me pay attention to the possibility of a so-called demon hunter: some masters will always have ulterior motives to capture the hidden aliens in human society to do things for themselves - just like this hunt for Ah Miao - so that it is easy to obtain subordinates with special abilities without worrying too much about being noticed by the public authorities. Besides, the monsters that are caught are not necessarily so unhappy, and the demon hunter wants to let his subordinates do things for themselves, and a little guidance and help in cultivation and even secret techniques must be given to his subordinates anyway, so such monsters have an organization and an indispensable cultivation guide, and most of them will not refuse to do things for the leader, and even the guys who fight for their lives like the tiger demon and the jackal demon will not necessarily be less.

"This ......," said Miss Aosaki, who was silent after listening to my guesses, continued, "I hope my father doesn't encounter such a terrible person and organization." ”

"It's all just my guess, don't worry about it, the operation of human society will not get out of control because of the existence of these few aliens." I said with confidence, "Haven't your family come here for so many years?" ”

"Whew...... Well, I was scared all of a sudden. ”

"I'm sorry I said too much."

"No, no, no, I have to thank Alice for telling me so much, at least it has increased my knowledge a lot." She looked rather heavy and left the kitchen, "I'm going to make a call, I'll be sure to help you ask for some useful information!" ”
