-5- Evil spirits
"I'm back." Nishino Renyin nodded at Kyoko, looked at the kitchen, looked at her slightly sleepy look, and hesitated, "Sister, did you get up to make lunch for me?" ”
Kyoko arrived home from the night shift in the morning, and left him breakfast before going to bed, and now it's only noon, so it always feels a little too early to wake up naturally. According to his impression of Kyoko, she should have taken the initiative to set the alarm clock, so that her younger brother would not have nothing to eat at noon.
"Huh? …… Yes. I didn't expect my brother to suddenly ask such a question, and Kyoko was surprised.
Nishino Renne changed her slippers at the entrance, walked into the living room, and glanced at the wide apron that Kyoko was wearing, feeling a little funny - Nishino Kyoko is relatively petite, although she is a social person who began to work and earn money after graduating from high school, but she really looks like a little girl in middle school, and there is a great probability that she will be mistaken for a brother and sister when she walks on the street with her.
"Sorry, sister." Nishino said softly. Unlike when he attacked the Snow Maiden, he was sincere at this time.
"Huh? Huh? No, it's not hard! It's only natural for an older sister to take care of her younger brother! Kyoko was busy making miso soup in the kitchen, and when she heard this, she hurriedly turned around with a soup spoon and looked at her brother in surprise—what did she hear? Is my brother concerned about himself?
Nishino Renne sat on the couch, pretending to be looking at his phone, but in fact he was still studying his monster hunting system. After perceiving Kyoko's gaze, he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Kyoko quickly shook her head and continued to fiddle with the kitchen utensils, the sound of clinking pots and bowls revealing a hint of joy.
I don't know how the sisters and brothers in other families get along, anyway, except when I was a child, my brother didn't like to talk to her very much since he entered the country, and the tone was full of disgust and impatience when he occasionally talked, and now he was suddenly cared about by his younger brother, and she was suddenly a little flattered, as if the concubine who was beaten into the cold palace finally got the emperor's favor.
It didn't take long for Kyoko to bring the meal to the table before twelve o'clock. Lunch is a common Japanese home dish consisting of tamagoyaki, tofu miso soup, pickles, white rice, and a grilled mackerel.
Nishino's financial situation is actually very bad, except for her parents' inheritance, the source of income is supported by Kyoko's part-time salary, but even so, she still tries to give her brother the best - her meal is made up of Nishino Renyin's leftover leftovers, not to mention grilled fish or something.
However, Nishino quickly noticed this and took the initiative to give her some grilled fish, but Kyoko refused, but it didn't work, so she had to accept it.
"Lianyin, did you go out to play in the morning?" Kyoko asked as she was eating.
"I went to meet a junior high school classmate."
"Boys?"
"Girls."
Hearing this reply, Kyoko sighed softly, keenly aware of a hint in her heart, and a little nervous - a female classmate in junior high school? Do you want to contact you after you graduated?
Problematic!
Big problem!
"The girl you're talking about...... Is she good-looking? Kyoko asked nonchalantly.
"It's pretty, what's wrong?"
"I'm curious about what kind of girl she is, what her appearance and personality are, I, I, I'll just ask, it's okay if you don't answer."
"In terms of appearance, it's cute, and the body is also very slender, not too tall, and it still looks very petite...... The personality is relatively quiet.,Good temper.,Like to read.,It's different from those wayward girls of the same age......" Nishino Renyin described and described and was suddenly stunned - Speaking of which, although Makino Maki has fewer words and a conservative personality, it's actually pretty good as a girlfriend, with a cute appearance, a quiet personality, and its own air conditioner, which can be used as an air conditioner in the room in summer, saving a lot of electricity bills.
It's amazing that the original owner can dump such a girlfriend.
Kyoko naturally didn't know why her brother suddenly stopped, she silently remembered her brother's descriptions, and nodded thoughtfully.
Petite, good-tempered, not quite the same as girls of the same age......
It turns out that my brother likes such girls!
……
After eating, she urged Kyoko to go back to her room to rest, and Nishino Renyin washed the dishes for her. In the process of washing the dishes, he went to look at the information of another target youkai.
Compared to Snow Maiden, where most of the data is "unknown", this youkai is unremarkable, and it feels like a novice village monster - to be precise, the evil spirit should be a ghost type, but the ghost in Japan is also counted as a part of the monster.
"Monster Classification: Evil Spirits"
"Combat effectiveness: extremely weak."
"Description: Before his death, he was the head chef of a high-end restaurant, and when he came home from work one day, he found that his wife was having an affair with the handsome neighbor next door, and he was about to hack the neighbor to death with a knife after being grief-stricken, but he was cleverly killed by the neighbor because of his bloated figure. After death, he turned into an evil spirit because of his deep obsession, and used spiritual attacks as the main means of combat, and hated men who were more handsome than him. ”
"Evaluation: A certain threat to ordinary people only."
Nishino Lianyin read the description of this evil spirit in silence, and suddenly felt a little relaxed in his heart - I don't know why, after reading this description, I suddenly felt that this evil spirit was not so terrible, and even felt that this old brother was a little pitiful......
This mission doesn't seem to be as dangerous as it seems.
Speaking of which, he had just discovered that the tasks of this system could be carried out multiple times at the same time, and since it still took some patience to subdue the Snow Maiden, he could also consider doing another task as well—even if it was just to do preliminary preparations.
After putting away the washed dishes and chopsticks, wiping her hands on the towel, Nishino Renyin took the key and went out again, ready to follow the system map to the location of the evil spirit.
Naturally, he didn't plan to go to the evil spirit to fight it alone, but he just planned to wait and see from a distance to see what the evil spirit looked like and what it was doing all day long. If you understand the habits of evil spirits, you may be able to design some traps or something in places where evil spirits often haunt them.
Half an hour later, Nishino got off the train at a station in Sakyo Ward, walked through the busy shopping street, and walked towards the residential area where the evil spirit was located, which seemed to have a house in the residential area, unlike the Snow Maiden......
Soon, Nishino finally stopped in front of a Japanese-style two-story villa.
This villa looks a little eerie from the outside, all the curtains are tightened in the daytime, the yard is overgrown with weeds, it should not have been mowed in a long time, and the garage is locked, giving people the feeling that it is not inhabited.
Through the coordinates in the system map, Nishino Renyin confirmed that the evil spirit should be in a room on the edge of the house, and the motionless one may be taking a nap - after all, it is an evil spirit, and it should be out at night, and the daylight is so strong during the day, it is reasonable to sleep at home.
So he crept into the courtyard, went around the side of the villa, and saw a window.
Inside this window is supposed to be the room where the evil spirit is. However, because the curtains were closed, it was not very convenient for Nishino Renyin to peek inside, but fortunately, he suddenly found that the curtains in the room did not seem to be particularly dead, and a crack was exposed in the corner, so he leaned over gently, trying to peek into the room through this curtain gap.
After a while, Nishino noticed that there was suddenly a bloodshot eye on the other side of the gap, looking at him.
Two screams rang out inside and outside the house.
