1. Your Excellency the Ombudsman who is far away
After arguing with Xi Xun in Qianmian's store for some reason, Lingjing really did the same as she said, carrying a small box and luggage that could be counted by hand, and came to Nangong's house to live.
What annoys Nangong is not that there is no extra room for Lingjing to live in, Nangong's family, which is quite wealthy, naturally has an idle room to accommodate Lingjing; Of course, it's not that a young girl suddenly comes, this kind of thing will bother Nangong, Xixuan's "personal guard" in the past few days has been enough to make Nangong have antibodies to immunize those strange thoughts.
What Nangong was worried about was Lingjing's attitude, because she was too polite. Not only is all the daily necessities self-sufficient, but even the three meals a day are solved by themselves, as if in addition to occupying this house, there will be no more intersection with Nangong at all. There's nothing wrong with that, but I always feel like it...... It's a little too out-of-the-box.
We have to find a way to change this awkward state.
"That's exactly what I want."
In the face of Nangong's request for help, Xixuan's attitude was as resolute as Nangong thought, "It is Nangong's mistake to let such an untrustworthy rigid woman live in." Fortunately, she still has some self-consciousness, and she doesn't have to make an inch. Otherwise......"
"Otherwise?"
Nangong repeated as he watched as the corners of Xi Xun's eyes gradually became smiling. No, no, that's a laugh.
"You don't need to know, I'll take care of everything for you."
Xixun put his hands together, and after giving Nangong the most "warm" smile, he turned into a knife and fell to the ground.
Transforming into a human form requires a lot of essence energy, and in order to avoid causing trouble to Nangong, all Xi Xun can do is to minimize the time of the human form.
"That...... It's better to get along with the spirit mirror. ”
Nangong turned around while doing the persuasion that was estimated to be useless. Although Xi Xun doesn't seem to have any ideas, among Nangong's friends, there is still a special "friend" who will help her.
I met Lingjing through the Internet before I met him, and I have a netizen who has the same hobby as him. The other party also seems to be excited to find a friend who also believes that the concept of "yokai exist" is correct. Although Nangong has now seen the "monster" with his own eyes, due to the confidentiality of the matter and the warning of the spirit mirror, the conversation with this old friend must also stop at the "suspicion" link.
But despite this, Nangong could still roughly detect that the other party was a woman. So at this time, consulting with her is the best way.
Not long after he couldn't wait to send the question in detail, Nangong got a response from the other party.
[Female? You can't live together until you're married! 】
This guy's thinking is too jumpy.
After spending a lot of effort to explain to the other party that Lingjing was just a very "ordinary" friend with the same "hobbies", Nangong got a slightly more reliable answer.
[You're a man, aren't you? Then it should be tougher. Also, I'm sorry I'm busy, so let's talk when you have time. 】
"Tough...... It's really hard to do. ”
"Indeed, it is difficult for you."
"Wow......"
Suddenly, the voice of the spirit mirror came from behind him, and when Nangong hurriedly turned around, he saw the spirit mirror's face as cold as usual.
It seems that she has been observing from behind for a while, and most of the chat just now is also in full view of her. And......
It's really hard to be tough.
"Have you calmed down?" Facing Nangong, who was in a hurry, Lingjing just silently put a few photos on the table. After Nangong calmed down, she continued, "I don't ask if I will have a meal with you for the time being, in the next time, I'm afraid we won't have much time to finish the meal leisurely." Take a photo on the table, take a look at it for yourself. ”
“…… Hmm, it's pretty. ”
The photo shows an exotic woman who makes Nangong inadvertently admire, a girl who looks about twenty years old, the uniform does not cover her proud figure, blonde hair and blue eyes, and the fair skin that belongs to Europeans are all stimulating Nangong's eyes. The sword hanging from her waist shone in the sunlight just like herself.
The only thing that falls short is the expression of the girl in the photo. It always feels like the spirit mirror, a little too rigid. Maybe it's because of the different relationship with the temperament of the spirit mirror, the same rigid expression looks silly on this girl's face.
"Hey, this girl doesn't look human."
At some point, Xi Xun, who had changed into a human form again, came behind Nangong, and after carefully looking at the photo for a while, he said, "How do you look like my kind." ”
Similar!? In other words, the exotic girl in this photo is also a machine spirit? However, this ......
"That's right, it's a machine spirit." At this time, Lingjing didn't seem to have the strength to continue to compete with Xijing, "In addition, Nangong, monsters are not limited to our area, even on the other side of the ocean, there are monsters, and the management system of monsters similar to us. What is slightly different from us is that among them, the number of ordinary people involved in the management is very large, and the management class is mostly a combination of machine spirits and humans. ”
"Wait, but ordinary people ......"
Ordinary people, they should not be able to see monsters, and because of the so-called "hidden" relationship, their brains make up wrong ideas to give themselves reasonable explanations.
"It's just some special 'ordinary people', through special equipment and so on, to the point where you can see monsters, basically the same as me." Before Nangong began to doubt himself, Lingjing explained, "So you are special, don't worry." ”
"Ah, haha, that's good, that's good." Although I'm afraid it's just a drag oil bottle for the Spirit Mirror, Nangong is still quite concerned about his own feature of "being able to see monsters".
"So this time these photos ...... Is it what you want us to do? ”
"Sabre-Elizabeth, the girl in the photo, is only a weapon of the Ombudsman to whom she belongs, but she has the power to act autonomously. As for why she came to us across the ocean, the teacher did not give me a clear answer, but only told us to receive this guest in her place. ”
When mentioning Thousand Faces, the Spirit Mirror obviously revealed his dissatisfaction with her, perhaps because Thousand Faces pushed her own work to the Spirit Mirror?
"But as far as I'm concerned, there must be some reason why the weapons that have been traveling with the Ombudsman are going here alone. And most of them are...... Survey. Lingjing's didn't know why he frowned, "Simply put, it's to investigate the environment in this area, as well as the security situation of the monsters under the management of the teacher." Although her opinion may not be nothing, if she is really found in a terrible situation, it will inevitably smear the teacher's face. ”
"Then just behave well."
Nangong waved his hand, completely unaware of Ling Jing's increasingly gloomy face, "You see, when we patrolled together before, the streets weren't very ...... It's ......"
Fortunately, Nangong was not stupid, and finally hurriedly shut up when the spirit mirror was about to go berserk. Then, under the mixed anxious gaze of the spirit mirror, he took a few new photos from her hand.
Compared to the photo of the machine spirit just now, this time the photo is much more blurry, and it looks like it should have been taken in a state of high-speed movement. But obviously, what the guy who took the photo wanted to show was the blurry mass in the center of the frame.
"This was taken by the 'Kwai Lei' you met not long ago, and I remember what I said earlier, there was a thief who stole a lot of treasures and ran away. Now most of them have wandered to the area managed by the teacher. ”
Lingjing said, staring at the black shadow in the center of the photo, "Weapon hunting demons, monsters who specialize in stealing and snatching treasures." We must catch that troublemaker before the foreign machine spirit arrives here! ”
