One step ahead, the spirit mirror opened the curtain of the door full of bells, and stepped into the room with the crisp sound of bells, and at the same time, signaled Nangong with his eyes to hurry up.

Strange places, strange shops, and the signboard with only the word "Thousand Noodles" written on it, it's really hard to guess what this is, or what it sells. However, since it is in this style of street, it is most likely ...... Do fortune tellers look at feng shui shops? Because this strange sign is also in line with them.

What came to the face seemed to be accumulated by history, with a hint of old wood fragrance, and after really getting used to it, it unexpectedly looked good. It's just that compared to the history of this store, the ...... in the store The object looks a little shabby.

No, it should be said that ...... It's rare. There were messy things scattered on the table that looked like a counter, and there were some strange-shaped props hanging on the wall behind it, which Nangong couldn't say, but compared to these......

A ...... That's right, Nangong is already convinced that the person watching the store in this store is definitely not an ordinary human being, the little girl who looks like she is only seven or eight years old, not to mention what is going on with her blonde hair and a pair of ears on her head, on her back, the big tail that seems to be flicking because of pleasure has already shown the fact that she is not a human in an instant.

Hey, wait, this little guy is fiddling with it......

"Computer!?"

Why is there such an anachronistic thing in this place?

"Hmm, isn't that weird? Bub. ”

After hearing Nangong's silence, the little fox who was "playing with the computer" finally reacted a little, and turned around with a "snap", "Even if it is us, we need to keep pace with the times." ”

“…… Teacher, I've brought him here. ”

It seems that the purpose of the spirit mirror this time is to bring Nangong to the little fox's shop, and after bowing deeply, the spirit mirror quickly came to the little fox's side, and then ......

【Click】

"Wow! Why turn it off! ”

The little fox jumped up like a child who had been robbed of a toy, and her childish appearance even made Nangong doubt her identity.

This...... I'm not a teacher at all......

"Teacher! I've said many times that you can only have two hours of entertainment at a time. ”

"Cut...... I just opened it for a while. ”

The little fox muttered in a low voice while facing Nangong, although his expression finally became a little serious, but because of ...... The baby-faced relationship looks a little cute.

"What's your name, little one?"

"Nan, Nangong ......"

Nangong replied in a hurry, while secretly looking at the tail behind the little fox, which looked very soft and fluffy, but ...... There is only one.

According to folklore, if a fox has a monster, it should be as powerful as the number of tails there are.

"Like it? If you like it, I can make an exception and touch it for you. ”

Sensing Nangong's gaze, the little fox unexpectedly looked a little proud, "My tail is comparable to a pillow." ”

“！”

"No, forget it." The sharp gaze of the spirit mirror on the side suddenly dispelled all delusions in Nangong.

"So, let's get down to business." There was a hint of a smile in the corner of the little fox's eyes, "Ah, speaking of which, I'm the owner of this shop, and the signboard is my name." ”

A Thousand Faces...... It's a wacky ......

No, hurry up and get down to business!

"So, little one, you said you saw the 'vampire' eating that night, right?"

Sure enough, it was this question, but Nangong was already ready to answer.

"Well, I saw it, and I took it, with a camera. Ah, you should know about the camera, right? It's ......"

"Don't be a fool!" After a thousand faces roared viciously, he pointed to her clothes, "Then, little one, what are my clothes like that you see now?" ”

"Well, how...... That's it, the cuffs are huge, and then ......"

"Ah, okay, okay, I know you can see it."

Before Nangong could finish his complete answer, Qian Mian interrupted him a little impatiently, "Lingjing, I guess you must have told him most of the things, but now do you understand?" Why does he not have any props, but he can see youkai? ”

"I'm sorry teacher, I really can't think about that." Lingjing lowered his head honestly, but this was not just Lingjing's doubts, because Nangong also didn't know anything about this matter.

According to Lingjing's words, ordinary human beings will not be able to see the monster because of the phenomenon called "Shen Yin", or they will not be able to remember what the monster did to them, and no one will leave an impression after whitewashing it with reasonable and wrong explanations.

Only monsters who are also monsters, or humans like Spirit Mirror, who have some rare treasures, can see the monsters lurking in the world. Can......

"yes, I want to know, too."

Nangong asked, "I don't have any treasures, I usually just take a camera to take pictures of some strange things, at most, even if it's a ...... Well, youkai are interested in humans only, why...... Yes! Is it because ......"

Is it because of the relationship between this camera of mine, which is actually a rare treasure? Like in the novel, the protagonist accidentally gets some rare treasure, but he doesn't know what it does at first?

"Stop, stop, stop, this is it."

【Smack】

The thousand-faced fan slammed on the table, "Don't be mistaken, what kind of camera of yours is probably just an ordinary camera, if you don't believe it, you are looking at the picture inside." ”

“！”

This! Why?

"There's no 'vampire' in the shadow."

As if he had known what Nangong would see, Qianmian explained, "So now you should understand, not because there is something wrong with your body, but because your eyes can see more things." The camera is just an ordinary camera, so it is naturally impossible to take pictures of the vampire, and because the camera presents just an ordinary image, you can't see the shadow of the vampire when you stare at the camera now. Got it? ”

"Probably...... bar. ”

What this little fox means is that what its eyes can see is a real monster, not a so-called image. That......

I've grown so big, in the end...... How many ...... did you see How many creatures have you encountered, not human, but humanoid!?

"As for the reason."

Qianmian's fan pointed towards Nangong, "Little guy, let me ask you, do you like 'monsters' very much?" ”

"Well, that's right."

"So, how much do you like it?"

"I've been curious since I was a child." Only this is the only thing that Nangong can be sure of, otherwise, he would not have a friend who can talk because of this strange hobby that is different from ordinary people.

After all, no one can endure a guy for a long time who talks about demons and monsters in his ears all day long.

But why do you have such a strange hobby?

"Well, what's the problem?" Nangong, who shook his head, decided not to think about it anymore, because now Qianmian's words obviously made him care more.

"Well, that's because of it!" A dozen fans with a thousand faces, "Spirit Mirror, do you remember what I taught you at the beginning?" The reason for the hidden gods,To put it simply,Those humans who have encountered monsters,Although they have seen the monsters with their own eyes,But they don't want to believe it.,It's because of this unwillingness to believe.,That's why the phenomenon of 'God hidden' happens.,No matter what kind of strange things you see.,Will find a reasonable lie to cover it up.,For example, if you are bitten, you will think it's just a fall.,This situation? ”

"Then my words ......"

"Your name is Nangong, right, your words...... You can see youkai without any props, I think it's because you've had a curiosity about youkai since you were a child. I haven't missed anything yet. ”

Old ...... Forget it, don't worry about it.

"That is, I ...... Believe in the existence of yokai? ”

"Well, that's right. So in comparison......" Qianmian paused, "Lingjing, is it better for you to learn this spirit from him?" ”

"Master!? Why mention these! ”

Angry for no reason, it took a long time for Nangong, who was startled, to react, and the sudden anger of the spirit mirror didn't seem to be directed at him. "If nothing else, I'll go out on patrol first." Although he calmed down immediately after a brief period of anger, the appearance of the spirit mirror was obviously still minding something. However, Nangong, who didn't know anything, could only watch her leave quickly.

"What a stubborn child, it's all over."

The front complained in a low voice, and pointed to the guide palace with a fan, "Speaking of which, little one, since you already know this, you will come here to work tomorrow, right?" ”

"Up, go to work!?"

Could it be that he is helping this little fox look after the store? Although I say that I usually have nothing to do, but if I explain it so suddenly......

"Yes, go to work, although it's a bit arrogant to say that, but this area of monsters, let's still be under my management, well, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, right, right, so you need to deal with monsters."

"That...... I'll ask first......"

Dealing with monsters, this was definitely something that made Nangong excited before, but since what happened last night, Nangong, who really got such an opportunity, still hesitated.

After all, it's a danger that you can't appreciate without experiencing it yourself. I'm just a human being, and if I'm not careful, I'm afraid I'm ......

"If I refuse...... Ahhh ”

Nangong hurriedly changed his words, and at the same time, the expression of Qianmian who was not kind became brilliant like a rainstorm turning sunny.

Isn't this all a threat! However, if you really don't agree, you really can't imagine what the result will be, after all, this strange street is full of youkai.

"Hmmm! That's what a good boy does. Qianmian turned around and pressed the switch on the computer, the spirit mirror was not there, and it seemed that she was planning to contact this new-age machine that did not match her identity at all.

"Starting tomorrow, you will learn from behind the Spirit Mirror, what exactly are you going to do...... Well, she should know. ”
