May 1.

The fifth day of Golden Week

Change of year name.

From Heisei which was used for thirty years.

It became Reiwa.

Celebrate with the whole country.

Of course, the happiest thing for everyone is to be able to take ten days off in a row.

However, half of the ten days of rest have passed.

A lot of people don't know it.

Qiao Qiao continued with his daily routine.

Study, exercise.

During Golden Week, the Shinjuku branch is also closed.

There are only rotating staff who are responsible for basic operations.

It seems that Miss Sakura is on duty today?

Qiao Qiao has no work entrustment these days.

Very relaxed.

Evening.

Qiao Qiao came to the late-night cafeteria.

The owner came back from Kyushu.

After learning what happened on the first day of Golden Week.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"I hurt Oshima-san."

From the tone of the boss.

Qiao Qiao deeply felt the helplessness of adults.

Even a strong person like the boss can't completely protect the people around him.

What is the use of Qiao Qiao's more than 9,000 standard units of spiritual power?

Oh, after all this time of studying.

Qiao Qiao's spiritual power has exceeded 10,000.

It reached ten thousand two hundred and forty.

Qiao Qiao was a little melancholy.

He saw the chaos of the world, with his own insignificance.

By the way, I asked the boss if there was a way to contact O, Ping, O, and other mobile phone manufacturers.

“...... I'll go back and look for it. ”

The boss hesitated for a long time before replying.

"Then please."

Qiao Qiao has already edited the ringtone of Kagura Bell.

It is divided into wake-up alarm version, mobile phone ringtone version, SMS prompt version, etc., which is enough to adapt to the application in different ghost removal scenarios.

It can't completely eliminate the spirits, but it can also help prevent them.

Just wait for the boss's connections.

You can start to push this thing forward.

When the time came, Qiao Qiao thought that the ringtone of Kagura Bell echoed in the mobile phones of people on the street.

The world will surely be more peaceful.

"Anyway, boss, I always feel a little strange, why did the evil boy who only caused a small accident before happen to have a big accident here in the truck transporting your goods, boss?"

Qiao Qiao was eating pork soup and eating.

He asked.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it, the people of Yin Yang Liao have already dealt with it."

The boss said leisurely.

"Oh."

Since the boss doesn't care about it, there must be no problem.

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"Still."

The boss thought for a moment and spat out another puff of smoke.

"I should have thought that Oshima Sangan had been in this line for so long, and it was inevitable that something would happen."

He sighed.

"Why?"

Qiao Qiao was confused.

"For spirits draw one another."

The boss replied, shaking off a bit of soot.

"Oshima-san has been transporting goods related to soul remover for a long time, and it will be more or less contaminated with some spiritual power."

"These breaths, in the eyes of some wraiths, are the most delicious food."

"It's like a person with spiritual powers, even if he walks down the street, he may see a lost spirit."

Qiao Qiao listened to the boss's explanation.

He understood.

In the past.

Weird, except for the spirit master, when these things are not yet clear.

There are many famous exorcists, all of whom have been lonely all their lives.

It's not because of their will.

Rather, if you have spiritual power, you will attract evil spirits.

If the strength is poor, it will be devoured by evil spirits.

If the strength is high, although it can destroy evil spirits.

But it may not be able to protect the people around you.

I could only watch those people, one by one, pass away in places that my hands could not touch.

In time.

The soul slayers developed a lonely character.

Alone.

It's like the boss.

He had no wife, no children, no relatives.

Before I met Qiao Qiao, I was walking alone in this world.

The boss wanted to take this opportunity to remind Qiao Qiao.

No matter how much spiritual power you have, no matter how strong your strength is.

If you can't protect the people around you.

Then there is no point.

"I see."

Qiao Qiao thought so, and said with his head bowed.

“？”

The boss was stunned.

He didn't understand what Qiao Qiao understood.

But now that he's got it right.

That might just be understood.

"It's good to get it."

The boss answered.

"By the way, I went to Kyushu this time and helped you get 'that'."

"Really?"

Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

After eating the pork broth, set the meal.

Qiao Qiao walked around the boss's small warehouse again.

Bought some big-bore babes.

I rode home on a small motorcycle.

Tokyo during Golden Week.

Colorful.

The streets were crowded with pedestrians.

Qiao Bridge drove slowly along the road.

By the way, you can enjoy the night view of Tokyo.

The shops along the road have all kinds of signs.

Reiwafeng ramen.

Big discounts on clothes.

Half-price bento sale.

All-you-can-drink 2,000 yen.

The latest mobile phones.

"Wait."

Half-price bento?

Qiao Qiao stopped the car.

I thought about it for three seconds.

He's had dinner.

There is also no habit of eating supper.

But the appeal of half-price bento is undoubtedly huge.

Can be kept in the fridge as a lunch tomorrow.

Cheap and affordable.

Sometimes you can pick up the leaks and buy flavors that you can't usually buy.

And, not sure why.

Qiao Qiao suddenly had the idea of eating a half-price bento.

As a soul exorcist.

He decided to follow the guidance of his heart.

After parking the car, Qiao Qiao walked into the supermarket.

Ignoring the dazzling array of goods, he went straight to the bento area.

Of course, there is no half-price bento battle here.

If you want to ask why, because in fact, the bento is almost sold out.

I took a look around.

Except for the tamagoyaki bento that is not on the road.

There is only one miso mackerel bento left.

290 yen.

Good value for money.

Qiao Qiao stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the bento.

It was at this time.

The other hand was also extended from a different direction.

The two hands touch together.

It's like a common scene in romance comics.

It's just that it happened in the library.

And here, it is the half-price bento section of the supermarket.

The other party subconsciously retracted his hand.

Qiao Qiao picked up the lunch.

Then he looked at the man.

"Wow!"

The other party let out a disappointed exclamation.

It's a cute girl.

It's a girl, right?

Recently, there have been more and more boys who like to wear skirts, and some of them are dressed up more beautiful than girls, so that Qiao Qiao can't tell them apart.

Let's think it's a girl.

She has short, chestnut-colored hair that just covers her ears.

About a teenager, the same age as Qiao Qiao.

Wearing a short-sleeved variegated dress and dirty sneakers.

It can be seen that the clothes on the body may not have been changed for a long time, and there are some accumulated stains.

Not sure why.

There was also a red scarf around his neck, which was already a little dull in color.

Well?

It's May.

The weather is not hot enough, but it is certainly not cold.

Is it cosplay?

Qiao Qiao frowned slightly.

The other party stared straight at the miso mackerel bento.

"Want this?"

Qiao Qiao tried to ask.

"Uh-huh!"

Nod vigorously.

"I—I've been eating bean sprouts for two weeks."

She added, using the self-proclaimed name Boku.

It's a boy, right?

"If it weren't for this bento, I'd have died!"

Said firmly.

It's kind of pitiful.

Qiao Qiao didn't have to buy a half-price bento box.

It was a complete whim.

Looking at this girl, it seems a little pitiful.

Maybe it's a runaway kid.

He said.

"That's okay, I'll treat you to this bento."

"Really?"

The girl's eyes sparkled all at once.

Don't say a word.

Qiao Qiao asked the girl to sit in the dining area of the supermarket and wait.

I went and bought some drinks again.

After settling the bill, he handed the hot bento to the girl.

She was a little reserved at first, taking a bite at a time.

Later, it was probably because the bento was too delicious.

She completely disregarded her image and devoured it.

"Big brother, the mackerel bento is delicious."

also said a word to Qiao Qiao.

"Eat slowly."

Qiao Qiao handed her a bottle of oolong tea.

Gurlum poured two more sips of oolong tea, and the girl quickly finished the bento.

"Want something else?"

Qiao Qiao asked with concern again.

"No, I'm already satisfied."

The girl wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and looked at Qiao Qiao with great gratitude.

"If you're full, can you answer me a few questions?"

Qiao Qiao opened the lunch box on the table, looked at the girl, and asked.

"Youkai, why did you come here to buy a half-price bento?"
