The location is an apartment in a high-end apartment complex in Chiyoda Ward, and the layout of the buildings in the complex is different from that of Miss Maruko's house, but it has a similar modern atmosphere - simple, high-rise, with bright exterior walls, in short, the rent is very expensive.

This is the home of the little monster girl, who has no family - it is obvious that the demon family died of old age long before the animal became sane, and the actual age of the little monster girl should be above twenty years old - but the family here does not refer to her family when she was a wild animal, but the family of the little girl whom she replaced by chance.

She was very talkative, and my inexplicably identified senior's credentials were the catalyst for her to treat me almost unreservedly, first inviting me to her home, and then introducing me to her own origins in a lively and scattered language - which certainly did not include her archetypal race, which is perhaps the prudence of the Outsider.

The little monster girl didn't have her own name, she is a wild animal living in the mountains, a few years ago, she happened to encounter the accident scene at the bottom of the cliff of a winding mountain road, there was a sparse private car and three corpses at the scene, the corpses were a couple and a little girl, the little monster who was gradually mentally sound was curious about the scene of the car accident and the three corpses at the scene, so he hid in the distance and observed for a long time, and then, she made a decision before the rescue came. She used an immature instinctive spell to transport the little girl to the deep forest far away from the scene and bury her, and then transformed herself into a human form for the first time, and her changed image was naturally exactly the same as the dead little girl, and then she ignited the oil leak and deformed car, and she lay not far away and pretended to be unconscious waiting for rescue. So the youkai became a little girl, easily obtained the legal identity of the human world, and it took a short time to adapt to life, she refused to be adopted by relatives and rented an apartment near the school alone.

"That's witty...... Except for being found to be in good health and not being human, there should be no suspicion, right? "I have to sigh that the little monster who was only a child of four or five years old at the time was so easy to blend into this complex society, at least this is unimaginable to me, the adaptability and learning ability of the little monster girl is really breathtaking, "It should be very hard to live alone, right?" ”

"No, human society is really interesting! I enjoy this life so much," said the youkai girl Ito Yuki, a naïve demon who stole the identity of the original little girl, Ito Yuki, cheerfully, "and my 'relatives' are so rich." ”

"......," I blinked, not knowing what to say, "you don't seem to be thinking about whether to value the life of human society or your own cultivation. ”

"It's too far away to practice, although I've heard many legendary stories of youkai predecessors ascending to heaven and becoming gods, I think it's still too far away for me, not to mention, that's ...... Without the guidance of a master or the system, it is really difficult to practice alone, I spent decades in ignorance, until I met the scene of the car accident before I realized the change of human form," she shook her head and said, "Do what you should do as a representative at the moment, I think this is what I should do at the moment, to be a down-to-earth person can not be so ambitious!" ”

"Well, that's fine, okay, it's time to tell me some other information, right?"

"Huh...... That, isn't the senior really not a demon hunter? ”

"I'm not, but I don't know if there's a demon hunter in the world," I said, "have you ever met someone like that?" ”

"Not really...... But、But,Recently, there have been rumors of one kind or another on BBS," she said uneasily, holding her fingers, "It seems to mean, there are great masters who catch monsters for their own use, but、That、It's probably the monsters with relatively strong combat ability that will be targeted, right?" No one seems to be able to look at a little weak chicken like me......"

"Little weak chicken...... Is that how you describe yourself......"

"Because, I'm really not good at fighting," she pouted, like the little white rabbit of the Eternal Pavilion, "It feels so dangerous!" ”

"Your concept is quite reasonable, and the monsters who are full of fights don't have long lives." It's like Ah Da Aji, who is employed by the Konoe family, "What is that BBS?" ”

"It's a forum for communication between the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and nearby youkai.,It seems that the original founder of the forum doesn't show up much.,And there are often ordinary human hackers breaking in.,So everyone's communication is no longer so easy for outsiders to understand......

It sounds like Gensokyo's terminal communication network, and I can probably understand, "It's also an underground world in the underworld......

"I've heard a few seniors say that the exchange forum has only emerged in recent years, and the original purpose was to contact the feelings between a few monsters who occasionally had work and business exchanges, so that one of them could get the corresponding help from others when he was in trouble, well, it's the same now, for example, if I accidentally leak my supernatural abilities, let private detectives or other supernatural enthusiasts pay attention, I can ask some experienced seniors to help solve the trouble without a trace, ah, of course, it's not to kill people, That's terrible! Some seniors will create other supernatural events to scare people away, and if the other party is endless, they will use their ability to cleanse people's memories for a short time. ”

"Cleansing memories? That's a lot of skill. ”

"That's right! But there are a lot of good people among the seniors. ”

It seems that the small society of the demons in the outside world is indeed unlikely to be tense, and if there is a dark side, there will naturally be a harmonious side, probably the aggressive monsters have done special work for humans, or they have been accepted as subordinates by the masters of BBS rumors, I have already made these guesses, and now I am not surprised.

"So, do you know a tiger demon and a jackal demon? They may be good monsters who are thugs for large families. ”

"Huh? This、Even if I know the names and appearances of some of my predecessors,It's impossible to inquire about the prototype of other people's homes.,That's taboo! If the seniors knew what they looked like or what their names were, I might be able to help. ”

"Oh......" I recalled, and then I took a screenshot of the two youkai that fell from the sky before they transformed into prototypes and showed their powerful supernatural powers, and teleported them into the mind of the little youkai girl Ito Yuki, "These are these two people." ”

"Hmm-" She also sank into the memory, "I haven't seen ......."

"Forget it, it's not an important clue anyway."

"But, can I ask the senior for any clues?"

"Don't call me a senior, I'm Alice, call me by my name, I'm not a senior, let alone a demon."

"What mud!" She was startled again, "And who are you?" Humans? I've only heard of cultivators among humans in legends, and they seem to be a rarer type of people than youkai! ”

"Ahh ”

"Well, except for those who are particularly bold, talented and good at fighting, we are all harmless monsters who are very willing to integrate into social life!"

"I can see it."
