"Uh..." Listening to the words of Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi, Ryoko Okano's tone obviously stagnated for a moment.

She still remembered that Inari Kazuhime had also sung against Kitagawa Temple just now.

How did you get out of it like this?

Even Keiichi Inari, who has a fairly calm personality, is also next to him, shouting, 'Big Brother Kitagawa is the best in the world'...

What's going on inside?

Never mind... There is no point in thinking about this now.

Ryoko Gangno turned to look at Beichuan Temple: "No matter what, Beichuan boy, and the two of you, it's best to be safe and sound... Speaking of which, what about the spirits in the apartment. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the apartment behind Kitagawa Temple.

How much or more...

That's how Ryoko Okano thinks.

"You shouldn't be concerned about the spirits." Kitagawa Temple, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

It's just that his words are a little inexplicable, which makes a strange look flash on Ryoko Gangno's face.

If I don't care about the spirits, what can I care about? After all, didn't they just let Beichuan Temple come over to remove the spirits this time?

Just when Ryoko Okano wanted to ask a question-

Her eyes suddenly contracted, and her mouth grew wide, looking stunned.

Under the gaze of Ryoko Okano, the three-story apartment behind the three of them was trembling as a whole, and the hideous outline that was exceptionally clear under the moonlight finally cracked like an overwhelmed burden after a period of shaking.

And then—

Rumble!!!!

Dust splashes! A loud sound like a bomb exploding rushed into the eardrums!

The corners of Ryoko Okano's eyes twitched.

Under her gaze, the third floor of the apartment collapsed directly from the middle.

"Originally, it was an old building supported by resentment spirits, but after removing the resentful spirit body, it became like this after it was not supported by resentment."

Kitagawa Temple glanced sideways at the apartment building behind him and muttered to himself.

Next to him, Ryoko Gangno's face was full of confusion, and the whole person was already in a state of 'confusion'.

"North... Kitagawa Kid? Did you really demolish the apartment? ”

"It has nothing to do with me." Beichuan Temple shook his head expressionlessly, and he did not hesitate to unload the pot and pointed at the Inari brothers and sisters: "Their questions, you go and ask them." ”

As soon as the Inari brothers and sisters heard this, they felt that something was not right, and the two of them just wanted to tell the details of the matter, but under the expressionless gaze of Beichuan Temple, they closed their mouths.

“... Is that really the case? Ryoko Okano looked a little suspicious.

"Whether this is the case or not, it has happened now, what you should do now is to think about how to deal with this situation, instead of asking here and asking about the past."

The tone of Beichuan Temple was as flat as water, and there was no fluctuation for half a minute.

These words made Ryoko Okano's mouth twitch again:

"Kitagawa kid... How dare you say it? ”

As she spoke, she sighed again.

But there is no other way to do this, because as Kitagawa Temple said, this apartment building really needs to be dealt with... Looking at this tragic situation, it should be directly demolished, right?

But that doesn't have much to do with Gangno Ryoko.,The special department has a special financial management.,The main thing is to deal with the aftermath of the soul removal.,These things will be left to them for a headache.。

"That's right." Ryoko Okano suddenly spoke again: "Just now there was news from the hospital, saying that Shuichi Harukawa has woken up from a coma, how about it?" Would you like to go and see him? ”

When she said this, Ryoko Okano sighed a little: "I don't know what kind of body structure you people with special abilities have, obviously the injury is so serious, but you woke up before three or four hours passed." ”

"I'm not going."

Kitagawa Temple didn't care about the words behind Ryoko Okano, he just glanced at his phone and replied without thinking.

"My sister is alone at home at this time, and I don't feel at ease. If Inari and they want to visit, then let them go, I'll go first. ”

At this point in time, there should still be taxis running outside.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple said hello again, and then walked away without hesitation.

Looking at his back as he walked away directly, the Inari brothers and sisters and Ryoko Okano glanced at each other.

"Forget it, don't worry about the Beichuan kid." Ryoko Okano was a little helpless and stuffed the lady's cigarette in her hand into the cigarette case, and then reached out and patted her car:

"What do you two say? Do you want to see Harukawa Kid? If you want to go, I can give you a ride, but I can also send you home. ”

“... It's okay to visit Brother Harukawa..."Keiichi Inari hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Inari Kazuhime next to him was already the first to speak: "No, but... We also hope that Miss Okano can tell us more about that guy... uh..."

Her face was visibly red, but her surroundings were so dark that no one noticed the change in Inari Kazuhime's face.

She continued:

"It's just... It's some things about Big Brother Beichuan. ”

She only dared to call Beichuan Temple that way when Beichuan Temple was away.

"Something about Kitagawa Kid?"

Ryoko Okano was stunned.

She didn't expect Inari Kazuhime to be interested in Kitagawa Temple, and it seemed that it wasn't just Inari Kazuhime, even Inari Keiichi next to her seemed to be very interested.

“... That's a long story..."

Ryoko Okano was a little embarrassed.

"Be sure to let us know!"

The Inari siblings spoke in unison.

Seeing their expressions, Ryoko Okano also felt a little funny inexplicably.

But there's something funny... There is an inexplicable sense of pride in my heart.

It's like what I've been persistently selling to the outside world has finally been recognized by others and longed for by others... That kind of pride.

She tapped on the car door, and her voice was a little smug:

"Then get in the car, let's get in the car."

Seeing that the Inari brothers and sisters did not hesitate to get into the car, Ryoko Okano also sat in the main driver.

In the darkness of the night, the vehicle slid into the driveway with a nice flick.

On the other side, above the taxi.

This time, the spirit removal still did not bring the benefits of soul lamp and soul fire to Beichuan Temple.

The Apartment Sufferer's Wraith gives him only 4 skill points.

It will take a while for the Death Breath Healing skill to level up.

Kitagawa Temple, who was sitting in a taxi, rubbed his eyebrows, and then took out a tattered note from his arms.

This is what he found from Hibiki Nakahara's body.

Nakahara Hibiki's corpse's hands and feet were tied, and the mouth was also gagged, and the whole person was directly sealed into the recessed wall by Nakahara Shoko.

It was originally intended to be a space to fit in a closet, but it turned out to be used by Shoko Nakahara in this way.

And in that state, it is impossible for Nakahara Hibiki, the victim, to write anything. So this note... It is clear who wrote it.

This is supposed to be written by Shoko Nakahara, and it is placed in Hibiki Nakahara's jacket pocket.

Kitagawa Temple slowly opened the folded note,

Dense words.

Two pages were written.

It's all about repeating one thing.

'I'm sorry. ’

Yes... I'm sorry.

This is the content of the note that Shoko Nakahara stuffed into the pocket of Nakahara's Hibiki.

Since there is not the slightest gap between the words, it looks like some kind of resentful words cursing others at a glance.

I remember that the information also said such a thing.

Nakahara's family is very poor, and Nakahara Shoko's education level after the divorce is not high, so he can't rely on part-time jobs to support Nakahara Hibiki's child.

It is probably under this circumstance that she thought of sealing her son inside the wall.

But what Nakahara Shoko didn't expect was that after Nakahara Hibiki died, resentment, flesh and blood were combined with the apartment.

After Nakahara Hibiki, who turned into a resentful spirit, killed her, he began to do something to the other tenants.

Although most of these are speculated by Kitagawa Temple.

But so what...?

Kitagawa Temple got off the bus, bought some oden while passing by a convenience store, and crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash.

He walked home.

Open Kenichi Kitagawa's shrine and offer oden to the top.

No matter what the truth is... That's a very old story.

Shoko Nakahara has been punished.

Nakahara Hibiki has also been removed.

That's just the story.

......

The next day, Kitagawa Temple woke up under the influence of his biological clock.

He first picked up Nishikujo, who was sleeping on his face, and put it on the bedside table on the other side, and then said hello to Asamiya Emasaki, who was looking at "Chemical Engineering and Experiments" at hand.

And it was at the moment when he got up that Kamju Maki suddenly rushed out of the Kagura bell as if he had already prepared it, and began to skillfully plug in the power of the switch.

Because the Kitagawa family has always had a tradition of not allowing games to play late at night, she basically waits for Kitagawa Temple to wake up at this time every day.

"Ahh Good morning, Mr. Temple. Asamiya moved slowly, and put down the book in his hand without hurrying.

Then she floated behind the door and picked up the summer uniform of Jingbei High School in both hands:

"Please."

"Hmm. You've been reading for another night? ”

Kitagawa Temple asked while taking the uniform.

"I read a book for one night... Because the world of chemistry and physics is so rigorous and beautiful..."

Speaking of this, Asamiya Yongshi softly 'ah', with an apologetic face:

"Could it be that I disturbed the rest of the temple? If that's the case, I'm really..."

Asamiya Eiyo wanted to continue.

"Don't worry, I slept well, and you don't move much when you read at night. Compared to that—"

Kitagawa Temple waved his hand, and then pressed his backhand on the head of the god Maki-e.

Belch?!

The entire spirit of the god dwells in Maki-e twitched, and then he turned his head tremblingly.

When she turned her head, she just saw Beichuan Temple staring at her.

Obviously, there is no such thing as a spirit body, but for some reason, as soon as I saw Kitagawa Temple, Maki-e felt like I had a cardiac arrest.

She opened her mouth and stammered, "That's... That one... Kitagawa, good morning. ”

"Hmm. Good morning. Beichuan Temple bowed, and then glanced at the switch she had turned on, and said in a calm tone, word by word:

"Playing less games is good for your body."

Hearing this, Maki-e thought for a long time and didn't dare to say the sentence 'I'm a spirit, so I don't care about my physical condition'.

She slurred for a long time before finally speaking:

“... I... I know. ”

Seeing her statement, Kitagawa Temple did not continue to embarrass the gods in maki-e.

He let go, said hello, and went downstairs to start cooking.

Today is also a breakfast carefully prepared for Eri Kitagawa.

Just as Kitagawa Temple continued to prepare breakfast, Eri Kitagawa had already walked downstairs sleepily.

"Brother Si, early."

At this time, one leg of her pajama pants was pulled up halfway to reveal her white and tender calf, and the other trouser leg was all down, with panda slippers hanging on her feet.

She held the handrail with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other, and the whole person looked confused.

"Well, let's go to the bathroom and wash up, and we're ready for breakfast."

Kitagawa Temple wiped the water stains with his apron and said without raising his head.

"Oh... Good. ”

Eri Kitagawa walked into the bathroom with a confused face.

And then—

"Temple, Temple, Brother !!!"

The Kitagawa family was overwhelmed by Eri Kitagawa screaming for a moment.

She screamed and stumbled out of the bathroom.

"Temple, temple brother." Eri Kitagawa hugged Kitagawa Temple's arm, and her little face was pale.

She held out her trembling fingers and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

It was as if he had seen some terrible spirit in the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

A hint of death flashed in Kitagawa Temple's eyes.

In the field of death, there were no resentful spirits on the other side of the bathroom.

"Body... body..."

Eri Kitagawa spoke in a hurried tone.

"Body?"

Kitagawa Temple questioned.

"The scale is broken!!"

Eri Kitagawa blushed and screamed loudly.

"Oh?" Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed, and he calmly asked, "What kind of bad law?" ”

"It's broken!"

Eri Kitagawa danced with her hands and looked terrified:

"You don't know what I saw when I brushed my teeth!"

She stretched out her hand and gestured indiscriminately, and her tone began to be agitated:

"I, I... I actually gained six kilograms! ”

"Oh? Let's try this fried tempura. ”

Kitagawa Temple picks up a piece of shrimp tail tempura with a blank face and sends it to Eri Kitagawa Eri's mouth.

"Hmm... Well... The things made by Brother Si are really delicious, but the scale is really broken! ”

Eri Kitagawa ate it, and then wiped her mouth with a tissue handed over by Kitagawa Temple.

"Well, I'm going to buy a new one this afternoon." Beichuan Temple said nonchalantly, and then picked up a small sausage fried with a knife with long chopsticks: "Come, try the small sausage I just made." ”

"Good!"

Eri Kitagawa ate the sausage three times and five by two.

"How does it feel?" Kitagawa Temple asked.

"Hmm... It's delicious, but it's not appropriate to eat so much fried food in the morning, right? Eri Kitagawa questioned.

"This is a dish prepared for your luncheon, as well as vegetable salad and meatloaf, and it will be put into your bento box later, it is a shame to waste, remember to eat it all."

Beichuan Temple specially instructed.

"Brother Si's cooking is so delicious, I'm sure I won't have any leftovers! But remember to buy a scale, the one at home is a bit ridiculously bad. ”

Eri Kitagawa said happily, and then pointed to the small sausage.

"Ahh Give me another one of that sausage. ”
