When Baishuo woke up from the aches and dizziness of her mind, she suddenly realized that her body was no longer in the suitcase she had been carrying. There was a hard but not cold feeling coming from the back, and what I saw was not the darkness of the suitcase, but the faint but rich sunset all around.

Hey? Line of sight?

Baishuo, who was accustomed to acting from the "point of view" of a puppet, did not suddenly remember the strangeness of the body until he realized that the body he was "controlling" was not the puppet. Baishuo was originally invisible, and although it was easy to control the puppet's body, there was no such thing as "vision" that was beyond Baishuo's ability, so if you wanted to have vision, you had to find a way elsewhere, and the way was unique.

Kwai Lei's eyes are the "baby" that she bought at a great price, and now Kwai Lei is not around, but her vision is still there. Could it be that someone forcibly stuffed those two eyeballs into his eyes that looked a little wrong? Ah, that's basically the only guy who can do this kind of thing.

While adapting to the precious "vision" he had just obtained, Baishuo dragged his weak body and began to look for a way out. I didn't want to admit what that bastard sister said, but she was right.

Without a puppet, he is basically no different from a wind-up rag doll, with a weak body and incomplete senses...... Except for a slight increase in strength, there is basically no benefit, which is why he insists on using dolls to hide his body. The world of yokai is brutal. If you want to survive, you must remain silent or show a strong side, and your job is destined to have no way to live this life in a low-key manner.

Thus, Kwai Bud was born. A doll made by your own hands that allows you to have maximum control. After she was done, she got into the suitcase she was carrying, using the inconspicuous blind spot to hide her figure, while keeping a close distance from the puppet for better control.

This may be the biggest secret of the bounty monster Aoi Lei.

The little fox with her tail flicking in her sight was drooling over a frying pan with chopsticks, and this somewhat familiar action finally made Baishuo realize where she was.

“…… A thousand faces. Sister? ”

The setting sun warmed up the deserted storefront, but even that didn't change the fact that it was a small stall that was unfrequented. And the shopkeeper, who is not enterprising at all, seems to have lost the idea of attracting customers, but concentrates on frying tofu skin.

There are no "people" there. It doesn't look like the Ombudsman will be back here today. Therefore, the accidental "gaffe" can also be used to prevaricate the past.

"Oh, Baishuo."

Senmie, who was carrying chopsticks, raised his head, waved his hand and waved his tail to give up a small position. "When I sent it, I almost thought you were going to die. But now I still look very good. Feel free to eat for dinner. ”

…… Most people don't eat fried tofu for dinner.

"Thanks, but no."

Politely thanked him, and Senmian responded with just an "oh" expression. Thousand Faces is still the same Thousand Faces she used to be, but she may be further away than the rest of her companions. Maybe it's because she still can't let go of anything after all.,She was supposed to really be an unscrupulous shopkeeper who "eats and waits for death", and finally reluctantly hung up the title of an inspector.,But on the other hand,She's never asked the slightest thing about the monsters since then.。

Everything was left to her apprentice Ling Jing. Fortunately, the spirit mirror really supported it alone.

"Eyes, it looks like I can see it."

Abrupt. Chimian raised his head, and his tail that was shaking also shrugged down, "But cherish it." ”

Sure enough, was it loaded? That guy really doesn't feel disgusting at all.

"Where's the dolls?"

"The blister was broken a long time ago, although I still want to fix it, but your sister has already thrown her away?"

Senmian's chopsticks flipped the fried tofu in the pan, and watched the oil splashes bouncing because of the heat kept sprinkling on the tofu cubes that had turned golden brown, "Then your sister will leave, and speaking of which, I won't welcome youkai who eat white food here." Before leaving, she asked me to tell you, if you don't have a puppet, you can stay honestly, and the food has already been paid, so you don't have to worry about me starving you to death, right? ”

“……”

"Well, you're sure you don't want to listen to your sister."

"Hey, yes, I'll leave right away."

Even if there is no puppet, I still don't want to stay in this place, and it seems that the employer and the contact person already know their situation, so they don't have to worry about not being able to contact each other. I'm afraid things will turn out to be more dangerous than usual, but this is not something that a bounty youkai who is carrying out a commission should do.

After completing this commission, leave, and then, find a way to spend money to be a puppet again. After all, his identity as "Kwai Lei" must be maintained, otherwise he will become as goalless as his sister and Qianmian.

Ah, now I can finally confirm that everyone is going further and further down the wrong path they have chosen, even if their suitcases are stuffed with the most precious group photos, but a thin piece of paper can never be a basis for repairing the past and connecting the present.

What kind of late-night party tragedy is this?

……

"Anyway, thank you for keeping me."

Because he has nothing on his body, Baishuo doesn't need to prepare any luggage at all, and the only thing he can do is to thank Qianmian for it.

"But I'm still going to deliver the commission, so ......"

"Ahh

Thousand Faces waved his hand impatiently, "Anyway, the monster thing has nothing to do with me, I'm just an old man eating dinner." ”

Moreover, he is not qualified to interfere with the actions of "Kwai Bud", because ......

The petite back was eventually submerged in the sunset on the horizon, and it wasn't until the small black dot disappeared that the silent Senmian remembered to flip the fried tofu in the pot with chopsticks.

It's a pity that the fried tofu, which would have been good, has already turned brown because of too much oil, but although it is a little mushy, it is not too bad to eat.

"What a stubborn sister."

Picking up the milky white porcelain plate beside him, Senmian sandwiched the fried tofu that was about to paste on top one by one, and the burnt smell mixed with the impact of the seasoning made the shop that was gradually starting to get cold shine again.

"Uh-huh......"

Some are hot, some are mushy, some are salty, and some are a little fragrant. Qianmian smacked his lips in satisfaction, "Sure enough, fried tofu is the best food in the world." ”

Although it doesn't look too big on the outside, but in fact the taste is unexpectedly good, and if you are a human, this situation should be called "tsundere"?

Phew, since it's a stubborn and stupid sister, then the arrogant and stupid sister will definitely care about it. (To be continued......)
