Chapter 5 New Tenants
On the way to the slow walking in the direction of Sasazuka, Mu Xiu can basically confirm that it seems that the method of "diverting attention" is indeed very effective.
Just find one thing to focus your attention on as much as possible, let yourself think in that direction as much as possible, and try not to think about other unnecessary aspects......
Then it can be quite effective in suppressing the emergence of the mythical features of that kind of quantum uncertainty state-
Exists anywhere and doesn't, it's simply Schrödinger's cat.
Fortunately, a way has now been found to temporarily curb the emergence of this quantum state-like phenomenon, and nearly thirty minutes have now passed compared to the frequency of the previous four consecutive episodes of madness in about ten minutes.
Mu Xiu found that there seemed to be no signs of that phenomenon again, and perhaps it was indeed successfully curbed by controlling his mood and thoughts.
This made him feel a slight sigh of relief-
After all, if that didn't work, he might have to turn to the omnipotent power of the Lord God, or choose to completely block off the scattering of his AIM diffusion field.
Otherwise, it is very likely that he would need to enter the consummation realm of the fourth-order advanced life forbidden zone liberation before he could return to normal. However, there is no way to determine the length of time, and no one knows when it will be achieved.
- If you hurry up, you may have broken through the shackles tomorrow and entered that realm.
- If you slow down, you may not make an inch of progress in three or five years, which is really a very ordinary development.
Such a situation is inevitably a little too unreliable, but Mu Xiu has nothing to do, because in the state of not deliberately converging, his AIM diffusion force field is enough to envelop the entire space region of the earth.
Therefore, this terrible phenomenon must be limited, otherwise it may be called a real trouble when the whole world will be replaced by him so unintentionally.
Barely solving the problem temporarily, Mu Xiu relieved himself and began to focus on the current events.
However, he did not go directly to the old apartment building in Sasazuka in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, because the person who wanted to rent an apartment was currently waiting for him at a nearby housing agency, and it was impossible for the other party to find him directly without signing a contract.
That would be too rude, and the goal would be too obvious.
Only when Mu Xiu reached a preliminary agreement with the other party in the past, and then took the other party over to see the house, such a process can be regarded as a formal operation.
Otherwise, the real estate agency would not need to make a special call to notify Mu Xiu.
……
……
Time: Fifteen minutes later.
Location: In front of Sasazuka Station, on a wide pedestrian walkway.
"That...... Miss Suzuno Kamakaki, huh? Can I call you that? ”
While waiting to cross the traffic light, Mu Xiu finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at the girl in a yukata next to him, his eyes were a little strange, or should I say rude.
Because the girl next to her has blue eyes and a blue crooked ponytail hairstyle, she is petite and cute, not to mention flat-chested......
After all, it is common for a girl who claims to be eighteen years old, but only fifteen or sixteen years old, but it is not very common if she is actually twenty-six years old.
And they're all twenty-six years old, not to mention petite, at least in terms of bust - how to put it, I guess they belong to the type that no longer has any hope, right?
It's really a very rude idea, but it seems that Suzuno Kamaksuki didn't find out.
"Please just call me Lingnai, Mu Xiudian."
Dressed in a simple but high-quality yukata, the girl who stood with her feet on clogs turned around and bowed to Mu at a very beautiful angle.
Just like the classical and beautiful atmosphere on her body, it is simply the same as the inside and the outside, and the words and sentences and behavior patterns are extremely ancient. Even her expression revealed an awe-inspiring, strong will.
The straight posture and the meticulously interlaced hands in front of him can also make people feel a certain majesty.
"Mu, Mu Xiudian......?"
The corners of the young man's eyes jumped a few times, it was the first time he had been called by such a title, and it was really very discordant, what age is this.
"Yes...... Is there something wrong? Suzuno Kamakagi looked up, his eyes slightly confused.
"No, no, it's just a little too formal."
The corners of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, then he looked away and looked at the other side as if he was looking at how much time was left before the traffic light changed.
"Formal? Isn't it good to be formal? The girl tilted her head.
“…… I'm sorry, please forget about it, you just didn't say anything about me. ”
Something is wrong, it's really wrong, and the impression that the girl gave people from the beginning can be said to be very problematic. However, after talking to each other in person, the impression became even stronger.
In fact, even people who don't know the plot can probably see that there are many discords on Kamaksuki Suzuno's body-
Although the girl's fair skin and long shiny hair go well with the dark blue yukata and gold strap. And the standing posture with a naturally relaxed and straight back looks simply impeccable.
If you just look at the appearance, it makes sense to think that this petite girl is a middle school student.
However, her kimono dress and demeanor are too sophisticated, and her choice of words makes one wonder if Suzu Kamakaki came to the modern metropolis of Tokyo from her hometown on a time machine.
Moreover, the hair displayed by the girl when she saluted, even Mu Xiu, who was not familiar with this aspect, could see that it was not only very elegantly combed, but the red hairpin decorated with the four petals was still exuding an elegant light.
It's too contradictory, but this contradiction exists in her at the same time, thus showing a unique charm.
"I have to tell you one thing here, that house is basically about to be dangerous, and it will be demolished either next year or the year after."
It was only ten minutes from Sasazuka Station to the destination, and he could already faintly see the deserted old long street in front of him, and he looked at the old longhouse of "Sasazuka" that appeared in his sight, and Mu Xiu said casually.
"So, Miss Suzuno, as a girl, why do you have to choose to rent there?"
Indeed, "Villa· Rosa Sasazuka "Although it is close to the nearby station, it is convenient to get around, and the rent is also very cheap. However, from an objective point of view, this place is really not suitable for young women to choose to live in at all.
Because the house here is extremely old, not to mention, there is no bathroom, no air conditioning, no balcony, and even the door lock is unreliable spring lock, and most of the rooms and nearby rooms are empty, if something happens, it is estimated that there is no one to help.
Mu Xiu naturally knew why the other party chose to be here, but he had to ask a question because of reason, and he couldn't act like he didn't care about anything.
Suzuno Kamakagi seemed to understand something, she lowered her gaze slightly and thought for a while, then nodded and looked up again and said, "As long as there are eaves and walls to shelter from the rain, plus a futon bedding, then I will be satisfied." ”
After a slight pause, she added, as if explaining, "I don't plan to live too luxuriously, I just think that if I am closer to the city, it will be easier to find a job." ”
The girl spoke very skillfully, although she didn't directly say, "I don't have any money, I can only live in such a place", but she already expressed this meaning in and out of her words.
It not only skillfully answered the other party's questions, but also avoided the possibility of embarrassment.
"yes, I see...... Then come with me, room 201 is already occupied, so you can only choose rooms 202, 203 and so on. ”
Mu Xiu sighed, then stood in front of the staircase and looked back and instructed: "This staircase is in disrepair, the steps near the top are unstable, and it is easy to slip, you need to be careful when going up and down the stairs." ”
Sasazuka is nominally an apartment building, but in fact it is a two-story longhouse that is rare in the city. In other words, it is a slender traditional building, where several residents share walls and live next to each other.
Suzuno Kamakaki's expression changed for the first time.
She frowned slightly, looking confused, and looked up at the wooden apartment, "Are there any tenants here, can you please ask what kind of people they are?" ”
"There is one family, it is three...... Young males live together, but you don't have to worry, they are very kind. If you have any problems, you can talk to them and be willing to help. ”
Mu Xiu climbed the stairs and walked towards the second floor, revealing his tone to Suzuno Kazuki, who wanted to find out the news, intentionally or unintentionally. It's just that the words that came out of his mouth, in terms of the evaluation of the demon king and the demon, this is really very regrettable.
"By now, they're probably out, or there's a guy left behind...... But if you are troubled, I can help you change your address, there are many houses with cheap rent but better conditions. ”
"No, no need, I'll take a look at the situation first and then talk about it, Mu Xiudian."
Suzuno Kamakagi had a strange expression, as if she was looking down in surprise, her gaze wandering, as if she was very shaken.
Her clogs made a "Titicaca" sound on the iron stairs outside the house.
Probably because of what she heard shocked her too much, she completely forgot what Mu Xiu had just said to her, and this carelessness made the girl neglect the situation under her feet-
"-Yikes!!" The screams rang out!
Suzuno Kamakaki, who was in deep thought, only felt her feet slip, and then her entire body instantly lost its center of gravity.
Maybe it was because she suddenly saw the white clouds of different shapes floating in the sky, and the girl subconsciously showed a puzzled expression, and then she reacted and waved her hands and feet in a hurry, and closed her eyes and screamed.
The next moment, she maintained a posture of leaning back sixty degrees and froze in place, finally not really falling.
In a panic, a palm waved out seemed to grasp something, and she instinctively grabbed it as if she was holding it, so as to stabilize her inertia and potential energy.
"So, you really have to be very careful with the last few steps on the top......
Mu Xiu said leisurely, and then the hand that stretched out only made a slight force, and directly pulled up the kimono girl who was tilting back at a sixty-degree angle and looking up at the sky.
This is no joke, in the original plot, even the brave Emilia suffered several losses here, and it was already a great luck in misfortune that she did not fall into a concussion.
"Thank you, thank you! Mu Xiudian, obviously you have reminded me before, it is really ...... Careless......! ”
Suzuno Kamakaki, who had regained her footing, opened her eyes, her expression stiff and difficult to judge, and after a while, it seemed as if she had finally come back to her senses.
