It has been several days since the so-called "armed robbery" incident in the shopping street, but Elizabeth seemed to have been hit much harder than Nangong expected at that time, and even Lingjing and Kwai Lei had recovered and began to devote themselves to the operation of capturing the weapon hunt, and Elizabeth still looked at her own sword from time to time in a daze.

If this is the case, Nangong will be very happy, after all, if Elizabeth is so absent-minded, not only can the investigation of the spirit mirror and Kwai Lei be unhindered, but even Nangong will not have to accompany this machine spirit every day to do high-intensity walking labor. But the problem is that Elizabeth seems to be secretly in contact with someone lately, because the voice is too low, Nangong can only hear a rough idea.

[Indeed...... haunted], [the local inspector did not catch it, let it run].

These are a few words that Elizabeth often mentions, and combined with the events that happened not long ago, Nangong easily thought of what Elizabeth was doing.

Make a small report! And judging from this statement, it is obvious that he is expressing his dissatisfaction with the performance of the Ombudsman in his area.

No, she had to be stopped, at least before things got worse.

"Yo! Elizabeth! ”

"Wow!"

Elizabeth, who was talking on the phone without knowing who to talk to, jumped up like a frightened rabbit, cut off the call immediately after a period of scramble, and the female voice from the phone quickly disappeared.

"The youkai from before...... My colleagues have already gone to investigate. Nangong stubbornly began to lie, in fact, the spirit mirror and Kwai Lei went to investigate was not the monster with the gun they met before, and the weapon hunt was their current target.

But in this case, at least to reassure Elizabeth, at least let her stop the behavior that is mostly "making small reports", "so you don't have to be in that ......"

"They!? But ......"

Elizabeth's eyes widened, and her tone became slurred, as if there was something inconvenient to tell Nangong the truth, "In short, we can't be idle." In addition, I have some things to deal with separately today, so you don't have to follow them. You still have a child at home, maybe it's better for you to stay with her more, but there have been some burglaries recently where you can't tell if it's a monster or not. It is very dangerous for a child like that to be alone at home. ”

"Burglary?"

Now that communication is developed, news from various TV stations emerges in an endless stream, and Nangong doesn't have much effort to pay attention to. And it's really hard to tell if it's something that an ordinary thief can do, like burglary, if it's mixed with the gods created by youkai.

Sure enough, is this also what the hunt did? Although the unfounded suspicion of a youkai is not too good, it is estimated that this is similar to a commonplace behavior for the "bad" weapon hunting.

"But isn't it hard to tell if this kind of thing is the work of a youkai?"

"That's why we have to be more careful, no one knows if it's just an ordinary thief or a monster with this kind of bad hobby. And you, as an ombudsman, also need to know more about these things that are happening around you, and your responsibility is not only to catch and investigate. ”

Although Elizabeth was preaching to Nangong, she looked more like she was going to persuade Nangong to go home, "It's useless to talk so much, you should go back quickly." After I have taken care of my own personal affairs, I will also investigate the security issues in this neighborhood with you. ”

"Ah...... Okay, okay. ”

Nangong scratched her head as she watched Elizabeth hurriedly take a big stride and disappear from her sight.

Elizabeth was not like an ombudsman who would lie casually, but rather that she didn't know what lying was. But this time, she said that "burglary" was so serious, and it was definitely not just a reminder. Because it looks more like she's looking for an excuse to go it alone.

"This barbarian girl seems to be hiding something from us."

Not long after Elizabeth left, Xixun, who had changed into a human form, blew a warm breeze against Nangong's ears.

"I looked nervous, made an excuse to leave, and was still in contact with someone when we first met. Oh, I thought it was well hidden, just a girl. ”

It seems that because of the difference in "blood", Xixun has always been a little contemptuous of Elizabeth. In Xixun's words, Elizabeth is a yellow-haired girl from a "barbarian island", with a barbarian smell all over her body. Coupled with Elizabeth's serious and somewhat rigid personality, this made Xixun, who was very casual about things other than Nangong, feel unhappy.

"She's not wrong, though she seems to be hiding something from me."

Nangong stood up, Elizabeth's words were not unreasonable. After all, Qiqi has been at home alone for a lot longer now. And because of the promise she made last time, she really hasn't sneaked out alone in the past few days. But that's why it's dangerous. Ordinary thieves don't care for the time being, in case it's a monster, especially a kiki, who breaks into the house to rummage through the cabinets when only 771 people are at home......

Qiqi was still just a child, but Nangong was not sure that the Weapon Hunting Society would let this child go. After all, Thousand Faces has emphasized it many times. After being a monster that no one can catch at the moment, Tool Hunter is still a fierce monster that will turn into a robber and hurt people. For children of Qiqi's age, if a "thief" is found, most of the first thing is to shout "catch the thief".

Of course, the hunt may also be provoked by this, rather than running away.

"I'm a little worried about letting Qiqi stay at home alone, so let's go back together today. Starting tomorrow, before the results of the Lingjing and their investigations, Xixun, you will stay at home with Qiqi. ”

Xijing's face became bitter after Nangong finished speaking, and Xixun's feeling to Nangong was more like ...... than unwillingness Some are afraid to get along with Qiqi.

Is it because you are not good at dealing with children? Obviously, Qiqi's attitude towards Xijing is several steps better than others.

"Is there anything inconvenient?"

“… No. Xixin shook his head with difficulty. The machine spirit would not refuse the master's request, but judging from Xijing's hesitant appearance, it is estimated that Nangong's request will be very difficult for her. "As long as it is your order, I will do it."

"It's not an order, and we're not a master-servant." Nangong waved his hand, completely unaware that his "pure" thoughts immediately changed in Xixuan's sound, "So...... Wow! What happened to you? ”

"No, it's okay, it's just a little hot."

Xi Xun hurriedly covered his face and turned his back, Rao was like this, Nangong still found that Xi Xun's whole body was steaming out, "In addition, you don't have to worry, even if there is resistance, I will protect Qiqi." ”
