6. Let me show you the way

The fact that it was so powerful that the Spirit Mirror was difficult to refute, Nangong finally got his wish and made the Spirit Mirror speechless. After going to the kitchen for a while, the spirit mirror with his head down finally came out.

Lingjing didn't get angry, on the contrary, Nangong got an order like Lingjing to "leave". But on the short way home, Lingjing never spoke again, not even an ordinary goodbye.

"Doesn't it feel like I made her cry?"

Nangong, who came home in a daze, fell headlong on the bed, looking at the phone in a daze.

The original plan was to pluck up the courage to get the mobile phone number of the Lingjing after the end of the day's mission, but judging from the situation just now, let alone the mobile phone number, even the Lingjing will not take care of himself anymore.

But...... I'm really not wrong, and the facts are conclusive. The gas valve is open, and although I don't know why I and the spirit mirror are not affected, it is probably the reason why there is not much gas left.

And the fierce aroma released by the spices placed in the house is probably the culprit why the smell of coal is covered.

Sure enough, at this time, let's ask the netizen I just met. If you are a person who shares the same "faith", you may be able to give some idea.

[That's pretty much it, she's visibly angry at the end, what should I do?] 】

After roughly recounting what happened in the afternoon and concealing the identity of the spirit mirror, Nangong launched a request for help from the other party who was far away.

[The girl who is with you!? How can anyone still go with you to find youkai? 】

Even if there were only words, Nangong immediately felt the enthusiasm of the other party, because the reply was almost completed within a minute.

It's really fast, is this guy soaking in the Internet all day long? But even if it's the Internet, you can't just spread the matter of the spirit mirror.

[It's people who are similar to me, who went out together.] 】

……

After waiting for a long time, Nangong wondered if the other party had fallen asleep, and a few lines of small words suddenly jumped on the computer screen.

[I suggest that you find a way to apologize, both from the point that the other person is a woman and from the other person's attitude. If you believe in the existence of youkai, believe a little more. 】

Trust a little more...... But what I saw before is real evidence. And if you start searching for the news now, you can also see news like "a large gas leak in an old community, and the police are doing their best to investigate", which is obviously where he and Lingjing went in the afternoon.

By the time Nangong wanted to defend himself again, the other party had no movement at all, as if urging him to quickly find a way to apologize.

Sure enough, in terms of attitude towards girls, wasn't it too harsh before. After all, even if it is a spirit mirror, it will be disgusted by the straightforward questioning. It would have been a little more tactful then, though there is nothing to be done now......

Ah, by the way, if you come from the master of the spirit mirror to knock on the side, maybe...... I guess I can be forgiven.

“……”

Although the sky outside the window had become dark, after a moment of hesitation, Nangong still rushed to the door and broke into the night.

……

The sky that had already darkened, but because of the scarcity of street lamps, Nangong's sense of direction was weakened again, although he could still roughly remember the road that the spirit mirror had walked before, but as time went by, for the second half of the journey, Nangong's memory had begun to blur.

The few remaining impressions are of wandering around together and breaking into an old-fashioned street, but now......

The streets are not visible, and even the way back seems to be a little unclear.

Ask passers-by? However, passers-by must not be able to see the "street", and casually ask a person, "Do you know that there is a street where youkai live?" This kind of words will most likely be taken to the hospital after the other party calls the police.

Sure enough, I can only find a way to go back first, and find a way tomorrow? But...... Tomorrow, will Lingjing still come and call him to go out to work?

"Well, I'm sorry."

After a short period of thought, Nangong still gave up his plan to continue his blind search, and beckoned to a woman who was passing by not far away.

"Can I ask you for directions?"

"Hey...... Ah, no problem. ”

After a brief moment of surprise, the woman walked towards Nangong with broken steps, but ......

Wow, it's so fragrant, how much has she smeared on her body, and it doesn't look like perfume, but spice.

And...... This guy seems to have changed his clothes in an instant! If I'm not mistaken, I think it was a long skirt that suddenly became a kimono in front of me!

[If you believe in the existence of youkai, please believe a little more.] 】

…… No, that's a coincidence.

"Ask for directions, then, where are you going?"

The woman blinked her watery eyes, her smiling gaze as if she was staring at her prey.

Really...... In terms of identity, there are too many abnormalities in the women in front of them.

First of all, the fragrance of flowers on his body was really violent and outrageous, and after that, the clothes suddenly changed, and the color of the pupils did not seem to be the black pupils that the locals had, but reddish-purple as if they were oozing blood.

Lingjing had taught the way to distinguish monsters before, and even if she didn't deliberately judge, she was too abnormal.

This woman is not an ordinary human being!

“…… Well, let's wait for the matter of asking for directions. ”

After a moment of hesitation, Nangong stretched out his hand towards the woman, after all, even if he was an intern, he had an obligation to perform the duties of an inspector.

"You're a youkai, please show me...... Numbered plates. ”

“……”

Nervousness, or rather numbness that is already a little scared. Even Nangong, who didn't understand anything, felt the fierce momentum of the woman in front of him like a sharp sword in the eyes at this moment.

The other party is a demon, and he is just an ordinary human being, at most he has a label of "you can see a monster". But you must not give in here again. Because if you run away at this time, will there be any danger for the time being, such behavior...... It's probably not what the spirit mirror wants to see. In any case, even if it is an internship, he can be regarded as an "ombudsman".

[Most of the monsters in this city are numbered, but there are still a few unnumbered monsters, and those who do evil are basically them.] 】

Please, even if Qianmian said "most of them", but this kind of unlucky thing must not befall you!

"Phew, hahaha...... In my memory, there are no ordinary people who have ever been monitors. ”

The fierce momentum just now seemed to subside in an instant, and at the same time, Nangong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not an Ombudsman, are you?"

"Well, I'm still doing an internship......"

"I see, it's a blessing for you to have to work on a night like this."

The woman smiled and nodded, "But I'm really sorry, my number plate is at home, after all, I'm just here for a walk around, and the same thing as a dog tag is not something that everyone wants to wear." ”

"Huh? This ......"

"Speaking of which, you're trying to ask for directions, why don't you do this?"

The woman smiled at Nangong, "I'll show you the way, this time it's as if it didn't happen, okay?" ”

……

How could you not agree? Moreover, if the other party really doesn't have a number, the unlucky one will only be himself as an ordinary person.

While glad that he had finally reached an agreement with the unknown monster peacefully, he was taken to Nangong, where he had been before, and began to look for the store of the little golden fox.

The streets of the monsters are even colder at night, but Rao is like this, there are still some monsters that Nangong will feel scared when they see it, and they are staggering around the street.

"Huh? Isn't this the little brother I just met yesterday? ”

Wow...... It's not good, it's the half-human, half-snake female monster before.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" The female monster twisted the real "water snake waist" while approaching Nangong, "Sister said it, give you a little gift." ”

"Ahh Aha...... No, no, really. ”

No, it's really too dangerous, even if this female monster really looks beautiful and seductive. Confusing, but you must not joke with your life.

Nangong, who fled in a hurry, quickly broke into Qianmian's shop, but, maybe because it was too late, although the little fox Qianmian was still sitting there honestly, but he had already begun to doze off like a chicken pecking rice.

Speaking of which, she didn't understand the significance of opening this store at all.

"Hmm! Welcome to the ...... What, it's you, little one. ”

Qianmian, who looked very much like a child, immediately put on the posture of an old man after waking up, "It's strange, you can find this place without a spirit mirror." ”

"This ...... Ahaha, I happened to find it. ”

Nangong scratched his head while snorting, after all, there was an agreement not to tell the monster about it.

"Well, well, you're in luck."

"That little one, it's because you came to me so late, and you came alone...... The matter of the spirit mirror, right? ”

“!”

"Young people now, I still understand the restless mind, but the time you have been together is too short, although Lingjing is a good child, but you ...... so quickly"

"Hey...... Wait, wait......"

Why does this topic seem to be so crooked in an instant?

"I'm not because of that!" Nangong tried to argue, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

"What, it's not because you were issued a card that you came to cry to me......"

The object of confession is the spirit mirror, how can you do this kind of thing that knows the ending!

"That's right."

Nangong froze, and after waiting for Qianmian to become serious, he said, "Today I have a little bit with the Spirit Mirror...... contradictions, so I'd like to hear your judgment. ”
