8. Whitewashing from all sides
Retro to a mansion with a medieval flavor, but unfortunately it did not dye Nangong into a gentleman who was gentle and elegant both in appearance and in contact. On the contrary, Nangong, who carried a large bag and two swords in his arms, looked more like a wandering knight who had fled from the desert in defeat.
However, whether it is a gentleman or a knight, even a vagabond, as long as there is an invitation to come to this mansion, which is not open to outsiders, then it will become a guest who can be treated with affection.
Sister Tangerine's prophecy has hit perfectly again, and the walls that exude the smell of the times; On top of it hung an oil painting that could be seen at a glance to be of a noble degree; The candlestick in the corner, the hanging oil lamp...... Everything is the same as when there was no electricity, relying on the most simple way to live.
Ah, naturally, the life of the nobles in this way would naturally be without a creature that would attract attention wherever they wentβthe maid. However, there seemed to be only one maid in the huge dwelling, who called herself Chiannu, and judging from the way she held the basket, it was obvious that she would disappear for a while for "procurement" reasons.
"Sir, you ...... Is there anything you need? Perhaps it touched the "soul of the sister", and the whole person of Qianu looked very imposing, "I am confident in any dish and dessert." β
"Well, whatever, anything."
"Yes, then let's prepare some local dishes for you." After bowing deeply, the imposing maid hurried away, leaving her master in front of the guests. Or do you trust the guests invited by the host?
"Chiannu is such a reckless maid, but don't worry about cooking. Well. That's what she said. Nangong. β
Here the master came. After hearing Sister Tangerine's translation, Nangong also quickly got up to greet her. In her own home, Winnie didn't seem to have any "sense of precaution" at all, and walked out in her pajamas with curly hair, seemingly unaware that the guest she invited was actually a young man.
I really want to explain it if I can, but most of the time Sister Tangerine will mock herself for a long time because of this.
"Then there's the question."
Although it was already somewhat visible from Winnie's gestures, Nangong still patiently waited for Sister Tangerine's translation, "Did you think of the name of the previous song?" β
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry. β
Didn't think about it, or didn't have time to think about it at all. Because Nangong has always been thinking about Winnie's identity after being invited. And the conjecture about Winnie has changed from the initial certainty to the current doubt.
If you think about it, it was a bit of a misconsideration to preconceive that Winnie was a youkai when she pulled out the "Logging Song". Because it is her influence that is directly confirmed, not herself, and according to the method of judging the yokai of the ombudsman, it is clear that more direct evidence is necessary to determine whether a creature is a monster hidden in the world.
I'm afraid it's myself as an example.,I'm a human being.,But after receiving Banqing's guidance and training, he can also use some "abilities" that ordinary people can't imagine.,And this ability is also blessed by the gods.,It's no different from the existence of monsters.γ So it is possible that Winnie's situation is similar to herself, maybe she is because of a long time of playing or some kind of adventure, which caused her to bring such an "ability".
And. Elizabeth and Xixun didn't give themselves any hints, the other way around. Winnie didn't seem to recognize their identities. Excess curiosity, it's better not to show too much here.
"You, you really don't care."
After glancing at Nangong helplessly, Sister Tangerine sighed and told Winnie the answer that had not changed.
Of course, Winnie would definitely not be angry, but her uncaring smile still made Nangong feel a little embarrassed.
"The little girl said it doesn't matter, I hope you don't have to be restrained these days, make her happy and give her a little observation about you, so as to facilitate her future creation."
Sister Tachibana said as she prepared to leave with Winnie, "I'll talk to her later, so you can walk around." β
β¦β¦
The merciless back, although it is said that the secret between women is really not allowed to be set foot in, but I always feel that this time the guest has become Sister Orange and not herself.
However, judging from Sister Tangerine's attitude towards Winnie, I am afraid that the balance of judgment on Winnie's identity will be tilted again. Because Sister Tangerine was not taken into account before, and in fact, Sister Tangerine is not just a businessman, if she didn't show suspicion of Winnie, then Winnie's identity may have been confirmed a lot.
But how can we be sure that this is not due to the influence of the gods?
"Now, what do you think of Winnie's identity?"
Because of the departure of Sister Tangerine and Winnie and the purchase of maids, Nangong, who was really left aside, began to walk along the country road outside the mansion. After confirming that no one around was paying attention, Nangong, who had hesitated for a while, still summoned the two machine spirits who had been patient for a long time and had not spoken.
As soon as she appeared, she began to look around at the scenery, mostly because of Elizabeth, who has always been in a position relationship. However, there is only a short time for them to "wander around", after all, they can't show up at will when they are at Winnie's house.
"I judged her to be a youkai at first, but now I'm a little skeptical. So I'd like to ask you for your opinions. β
"Youkai or not, as long as there is love, isn't it?"
Xi Xun smiled meaningfully, but quickly regained his seriousness, "I can't tell, it doesn't look like a youkai, but it doesn't give me the feeling that it is ordinary people." Golden Retriever Barbarian, you think so too, right? β
"I ...... There's no denying it. Although she glared at Xixin fiercely, Elizabeth, who was hindered by Nangong's question, still chose to answer first, "I have to say that some of the 'ordinary people' with faith in these cities have gone a little beyond the scope of ordinary human beings, and naturally I will feel a little different, which is why some people often say that he saw the 'angel', which is probably caused by the sudden invalidity of the divine concealment." β
"To put it simply, this little geisha gives me the feeling that it is very similar to Nangong you." "Maybe something happened to her that caused her body to change, but in terms of herself, maybe it's human." β
"I see, anyway, you should come back first."
After perceiving the dark shadow in the distance, and thinking that it was probably the returning maid Qi'annu, Nangong chose the safest way.
Although I still can't fully trust the judgment of Sister Orange and the machine spirits for a while, I still treat Winnie as an ordinary musician for the time being. After all, the mission I came here for was not to "subdue demons and eliminate demons". And......
Even if Winnie is really a monster, do you really want to let yourself know about her things at the expense of hiding so deeply? (To be continued......)
