4. After the work of the bones
"Why, then, do I have to come with you? Miss. β
After reluctantly taking off the "magician" dress and putting on a new dress, the golden deer whose handcuffs were removed not only did not thank him, but followed Yuzu Li very reluctantly.
In her opinion, it was already a reward for not leaving immediately.
"Aside from the fact that I'm lucky, I'm basically no different from a normal person. Even if I follow you, it won't help, right? β
"Being with me is already a good thing."
Yuzu plucked the last button on her chest with some effort, and her chest hurt a little, but fortunately it was still within the tolerable range.
"If I were alone, I would definitely pass on the bad luck to someone else. So as long as the two of us are together, we can be the same as ordinary people. And now your freedom is not restricted, so it's okay if you want to go. β
"Hah...... It's really a big lady who doesn't care about the world, and casually says that she wants to come out to 'experience' or something. β
Jin Lu sighed, "Then I'll be with you for a while, but don't be mistaken, I didn't say that I want to die with you like some 'Knight of the Round Table', and I will slip away in advance when it's really over." For so long, I've had nothing left to do in addition to making money. β
"So we're still caught?"
"Hmm...... Stinky fox go away! A smell of commotion. "The golden deer doesn't seem to be very good at dealing with Chihu, and the purpose of the hurried Chihu doesn't seem to be to tease this monster with some eyes and low skills.
"Miss, let's do it temporarily."
After solemnly handing over the certificate of being an "inspector" to Yuzuri. Chihu said. "After that I followed Madame for a long time. Finally got a task for the young lady that you might want. Your first assignment as an Ombudsman will be a bit daunting, but I'm sure you may not be satisfied with a task that is too simple. β
"Will you die?"
Without waiting for Yuzu to speak, Jin Lu interjected, "For example, do you need real knives and real guns to fight?" β
"Perhaps...... Yes, but it's only 'difficult' for the young lady, so you have to be careful not to get clicked? β
Chihu's palm waved in front of Jin Lu, watching Jin Lu's face deteriorate little by little. "I don't know what you think of Miss, but I hope you don't underestimate Miss's ability. Otherwise, why do you think Madame would agree to Mademoiselle's request? β
"Whew, whatever you want."
Jin Lu snorted slightly dissatisfied, and then turned away.
A caring bodyguard, a family property that seems to be full of money, and a lady who seems to have common sense and courage, but unfortunately she doesn't even seem to have seen what the real world is like outside. Obviously, he can hide from the two monster foxes and protect him for a lifetime, but he has to "treat" his own disease. Such a young lady, even after taking a little effort to completely eradicate bad luck, can get ahead without a little effort.
I don't understand. What else does she want when she has no worries about food and clothing? But it's okay, anyway, a big lady like this. At most, if you can't even walk a few steps, you will want to go home, and at that time you can find an excuse to slip away, and end this period of unprofitable work, and you will have to take your life.
But for the sake of insurance, it's better to say hello first.
"I've been sneaking around alone since just now, and it seems like I'm with you too."
After following Yuzuri, who had walked out of the "hotbed" for a long time, to the "outside" world, the golden deer, who wanted to save his life as much as possible, quickly slipped to Yuzuri's side.
If this had been replaced, I'm afraid that a pot of flowers would have fallen from dozens of floors a long time ago, but I would like to thank Lord Jinlu for my efforts to be at ease?
"Show me what the 'mission' is, to be honest, it's the first time I've been an 'Inspector', and I finally don't have to look at the faces of other monsters. Not...... What's this? Business activities? β
"I guess, it's not about dealing with youkai, it's about people......"
Yuzuri frowned, but it didn't look like she was scared. The mission seems to be simple, it's just that a group of merchants are suspected of hiring a yokai as bodyguards, so they want the Inspector to confirm if the yokai is "legitimate". You can completely avoid dangerous missions by improvising, and of course, it is not excluded that you can succeed once when you really find an anomaly.
It feels like it's been deliberately arranged, but it's ...... I guess it's just a little bit of heart.
"It's just to investigate, and even my mother doesn't seem to be able to judge whether the other party is legitimate."
"Wow...... So boring. β
The golden deer, who had lost interest, returned to Yuzuri's back, "Then please come on, Miss?" β
Isn't this really just a joke? It seems to be a simple matter, and maybe the two bodyguards are still hiding and ready to "rescue" at any time. Compared to what "trial" this is like an adventure game that only the eldest lady of a rich family will play, although I don't want to hit this eldest lady, but I'm afraid that this level of play, even if you do it for a lifetime, it is impossible to eliminate bad luck.
If you want to be a little conscious, you should at least let the bodyguards disappear. Although the guy hid it well, the commotion that belonged to the fox still didn't fade. So clearly drilled into his nose, what did he dare to say before, "let the eldest lady work hard by herself"?
Hawkers, forget it, play with this eldest lady once, and take it as a reward for her to let herself go. Although I don't want to be restrained, it seems that I have to be more restrained in making money in the future, and I always feel that even if I don't want to, it will cause a lot of trouble because of luck.
This time is also before and before, after making money, nine times out of ten it will attract the pursuit of ill-intentioned guys, although it is said that you can save your life if you pay the money, but why can't you keep the money that you just get by luck?
Sure enough, what you have is just wealth, not "heavenly luck" like this eldest lady? If this eldest lady really, there is really a little possibility of curing her illness. Wouldn't that be ......
β¦β¦
"Arrived, huh?"
When the golden deer was thinking nonsense. Yuzu patted her on the shoulder. However, at this time, Yuzuli's face did not look as natural as before.
Are you really scared? Obviously, I can't even do this kind of trivial thing. Why did you take over the job in a hurry? Ah, yes, for the eldest lady, before she really faces "difficulties", she will be full of confidence.
"Whew...... Gone? β
"Huh? Ahh β
The golden deer agreed, and reached into his pocket.
Let's leave an insurance, in case it really makes this eldest lady have some "bruises", maybe it is herself who is unlucky.
The location stated on the task was a high-rise building that Jinlu always felt a little familiar, and soon that unfriendly feeling also surfaced in Jinlu's mind. This is also a potential danger that Jin Lu is sure that the eldest lady will definitely not feel.
With the gradual increase in the number of elevators. It became a joke to break the window. In addition, because he was in a hurry when he was caught, most of the things used to save his life were not brought, and it was already difficult for a guy who didn't know anything to escape, and this time he had to bring a stupid-looking eldest lady.
Sure enough, only silently prayed that something would not implicate him this time, and then after the eldest lady had become too addicted to an adventurer, did she slip away?
"That's it, here."
Yuzuli's face looked worse and worse, and although this seemed to Jin Lu to be a good sign that she was about to retreat, it seemed that it would be very bad to let it go like this.
"So we ......"
"Huh? Wait, Miss. Jin Lu stretched out his hand to stop Yuzuli, "Look at your face is quite bad." Or I'll help you? β
At the very least, you should drop something interesting nearby. It's a bit surprising to make a "big news" when running away, and the delicate lady unexpectedly didn't complain about walking.
"No, you can just wait outside if you can."
ββ¦β¦ Well, don't underestimate me. Since the eldest lady is not afraid, then go up? β
What are you kidding, now the eldest lady's bodyguard doesn't know where to wait, if she sees herself "abandoning" the eldest lady to hide in a safe place alone, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult.
Especially that giggling fox, it's not a casual guy who can be honest at all.
"Whew, thank you."
ββ¦β¦β
Don't apologize so innocently to yourself, because you really don't want to stay, but because of your own safety. However, even though it's a big lady, it still looks a little courageous.
"Excuse me, we ......"
"Hey, wait, I'll do it anyway."
Inside the room was a reckless man with a fierce face, and behind him stood a girl who was obviously much thinner. Theoretically speaking, this is really a pair of unthinkable combinations, but it's a pity that it's because I'm also a "weak" among the monsters.,So I can't feel if the other party is really a "monster" at all.
Therefore, at least you can't let this eldest lady who is not deeply involved in the world come out here, it is a trivial matter to be deceived, in case you anger the other party, it will be a little difficult to run.
"Who are you! Why did you come to my office without permission! β
The reckless man with an unexpected temper and a very violent temper scolded, but it was more like a gangster than an office.
"Hehe, uncle, you are angry." What does such a guy like?
"Come with the smoke?"
β¦β¦
"Gonkai! What the hell is going on with you!? The irascible guy overturned the table, but even the golden deer was frightened into a cold sweat, but Yuzu didn't say anything at all, just looked ahead with a strange expression.
What, have you been scared silly? So the current eldest lady is really troublesome. Since the soft ones can't work, let's come to the hard ones.
"We are the Ombudsman."
Jin Lu said and took out his documents, and naturally ignored the roaring reckless man, and turned to look at the monster standing against the wall behind her.
"Now I suspect that your monster is of unknown origin, please cooperate with our investigation!"
γBangγ
ββ¦β¦β
Ahh
Guns? Hey, hey! This guy is too hard to talk to!
"Get out of here, or ......"
It's not good, it seems that all the means of negotiation have been exhausted in this case! You have to run with the eldest lady.
"Hey, Miss, we ......"
"Chihu, what the hell are you doing?"
Ay? Red Lake? Isn't that the name of the grinning fox? Could it be said?
Hey, this game isn't funny at all.
β¦β¦
"You said you were going to let me go on a real mission, why did you lie to me with this disguise."
Yuzuli's face suddenly became extremely bad, and I have to say that such a kind lady is still a bit imposing.
"And your mother too, you...... It's not that I can't recognize it if I change my face! β
"Ah, haha, it's exposed, I thought I could hold out for a while."
The strong man with the scar on his face instantly shrank into a little white face with a grin, Chihu scratched his head and smiled, while looking behind him and sighing, Yuzu Tang, who also changed his body, "Madam, it's all because you and Miss are too familiar, don't you see nothing?" β
"Mother!"
"Hey?"
"Mother! I'm really not going home if you're in this way! Facing the mother who sells cuteness, Yuzu Li doesn't even know where the fire comes from, "Why did the mission become like this?" Or are you just kidding me? As I said, I'm going to be an ombudsman! β
"Well, I know, but I should understand my feelings, my daughter suddenly said that she was going to go out on an adventure or something, she would definitely be worried."
Yuzu nodded, "So I asked the next person what to do, and then this guy gave me the idea, huh?" β
"Huh!? Madame, this is not the same as saying yes! β
"Anyway, that's it, this time the task is just to write it by hand, the main thing is to see if your daughter has the courage to become an inspector, you must know that this is really a very dangerous job."
After a pause, Yuzu's gaze turned to Jin Lu, "At the same time, I also want to observe this little friend of yours, daughter, if you have any bad ideas." β
"Haha...... It's a great honor, and I'll definitely do my best to help the eldest lady. β
Jin Lu smiled awkwardly, "I really didn't think about running away, huh?" β
"Mother, what happened?"
"It's qualified, at least there is still courage in this aspect."
Yuzu said, "But this kind of task is not every day, and even if there is, it is not something you can complete now, in short, Yuzu, you should follow Chihu for a trainee, although it is a little unreliable, but he can at least play a role." (To be continued......)
