3. My comrades-in-arms

Maybe there is still some consciousness about knowing where you live, most of them are seeing the "guests" who have not appeared for a long time, the bearded uncle who transformed the church into a private house one moment is still scratching his belly with a compromise, and the next moment he immediately changed to another style of painting.

"Don't be stunned! Come and help me! ”

The uncle yelled at his fellow youkai to make the other party not react at all, and took the lead in action. Human potential is huge, but I have to say that the potential stimulated by a sloppy strong man doing things seriously is almost unlimited.

The benches that were thought to have been thrown away, almost always found in churches, are actually well preserved here, but the purpose has changed from resting to drying racks. After rubbing together the clothes and pantyhose hanging on the bench in a very imposing manner, the scrambled uncle also fell off the bench because he lost his balance.

"Please wait a minute, please wait a minute, it will be fine soon!" The bench slammed into him, probably because although the body was strong, it was basically useless muscles, and the uncle didn't seem to have anything to do, but immediately jumped up from the ground and began to set up the bench.

The thick and heavy solid wood chair, coupled with its length, was obviously very difficult for even a strong man to carry, but this strange uncle was like playing with a family, while carrying the chair in a hurry, shuttling back and forth.

The benches, the windows adorned with colors, and the slate floors that finally reveal their original appearance after wiping off the dust...... It seems that this chapel is just a home for a scruffy uncle and a serious looking monster girl, and the rest. It should have. What should be there hasn't diminished much.

Just when Nangong wondered why he didn't see the statue. The uncle who did the "housework" once was rare and wiped his hands constantly, squatted down and pouted his buttocks, turned his back to Nangong and began to rummage for something. And the youkai girl who had bought a bunch of ingredients also walked out with a bunch of candles and began to place them one by one in the hollows in the wall.

Although it was weak, but much warmer than the fluorescent lamp, the candlelight quickly lit up the entire small church, and if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that a few minutes ago this was a place for an uncle to sleep and live. There was also a small amount of furniture that could not be removed, which was a little unsightly, but it was already a flaw, and the appearance of a church was revealed in a moment.

The uncle, who showed his big pants but didn't care about it, finally found the "soul" of this church, a small but very delicate statue. Its smooth, clean surface doesn't look like something that has been piled up in the dark, and it's probably been well cared for all the time.

After working with his fellow monsters to carefully place the statue on the high platform under the window, the "owners" of this church walked quickly to Nangong's side as if they realized that their dress and identity were not suitable for staying here.

"It's a bit of a rush, but it's already there." The uncle looked at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction: "You can pray quickly, I'm still waiting to sleep." ”

"Wait......" the archbishop didn't seem to want the scruffy uncle to get his wish, "you seem to be a believer too, why don't you ...... at this time"

"There are no shorts in this world who pray." Probably to break free from the restraints, although the uncle's very "heroic" shaking hand was not malicious, but he still waved Freya back a few steps.

After scratching his head a little embarrassedly, he also pulled Nangong out by the way.

I didn't expect this lazy man to be able to give "At first glance, you are not religious." It's better not to mix it up blindly", although Nangong had to admit that he saw this uncle very accurately.

After the door was closed, Freya must have been given a place of absolute silence to pray. Nangong, who was leaning against the wall with the uncle next to him, who was much taller than him, sighed. While looking at the uncle's companion, the monster girl escaped from the match very skillfully and wiped a cigarette for the big man.

Drinking aside, there must be a clear rule on whether or not you can smoke casually as a believer, but it seems that all this is not binding at all on this maverick uncle who can even be a church owner.

The board head that middle-aged people like very much, the beard that has circled around the face, is exposed because of wearing shorts and shorts, and the muscles on the top and bottom of the body seem to be attached to the props. After taking a closer look again, Nangong found that it seemed that this uncle was more like a fitness instructor who spent all day in a health club than a priest.

As for the youkai girl who looks like it's supposed to be living with him......

"Uncle, you ......"

"Your uncle, I don't have a name." Maybe Freya is no longer in a relationship, this uncle is now more "heroic", "But when I fought on the battlefield back then, the enemy gave my uncle a nickname 'Mandala', how about it, isn't it very powerful." ”

"Hah...... Well, I see. ”

There is no reason for the "mandala" who fought on the battlefield to become the lazy uncle he is now.

"This weak and unruly little girl here is my comrade-in-arms, and the nickname she was given back then was 'Pandora'." After a pause, this uncle with such a strange name as "Mandala" looked at Nangong, "Speaking of which, the way you looked at her before was a little strange, don't be that ...... what?"

"It's the Inspector, and I'm one of them, called Nangong." It seems that this uncle knows the identity of his "comrade-in-arms" youkai, but he doesn't know much about the management of youkai, and it is not surprising if he only sleeps in the church every day.

"Oh, yes, yes, that's the Ombudsman."

Uncle Mandala patted Nangong's shoulder very heroically, although this strength seemed a little heavy for Nangong, but it was unexpectedly close.

"Do a good job, although your body bones are the same as the little shrimp on the beach, I can see that you have exercised, so do you want to learn fitness with my uncle?"

"No, no need, thank you."

couldn't help but glance at Uncle Mandala a few more muscular Nangong finally chose to give up, although if he can exercise to the point where he can exercise, his body will definitely be very "durable", but no matter how you look at it, it is already a bit "muscular" to the point of excessive figure, at least as an inspector, he doesn't need that kind of figure for the time being.

"In addition, I have a request for you, since you are a church, it should be open every day."

Nangong said to Uncle Mandala who began to smoke while organizing the language, "Uncle, you should also see that there is a religious guest on my side, and she may need a church to pray every night. ”

"Well, if it was just a prayer of this level of time, I would have given it." Uncle Mandala, who was smoking, began to observe the smoke rings coming out of his mouth as if to distract himself, "Speaking of comrades-in-arms, how long have we not done such a thing as praying?" ”

"Not since the day you started stuffing the idols into the cupboard."

Although I can't imagine what it was like to be a woman and be called a "comrade-in-arms" by my companions, it seems that this female monster named "Pandora" is not very angry, I am afraid that she has long been used to it.

But it's really unimaginable for an uncle to live with a girl.

"Anyway, it would be nice to let you tidy up the church later."

After snatching the cigarette from her companion's hand and throwing it aside, Pandora poked Uncle in the waist, "Besides, don't you think we've seen that little girl before?" (To be continued......)
