Something that can be understood but not understood.

Matchmaking (peer talker)

This man-made facility near the outskirts of the imperial capital is an ancient church, a burning church filled with the smell of gunpowder, rust, and blazing fire.

Just to the east of the area where the church belongs, there is a clearing that serves as a playground, and five figures appear there.

One of them, Hiiragi, who was sitting on the open space gasping for breath, also patted his cheek with his hand to sober himself up in this way.

The speed of things just now was so fast that Hiiragi didn't fully understand it, and he needed to sort it out properly, otherwise he couldn't let go.

First he rescued Sister Hickley who had gone to church with an orphan, then she was placed in a room, and finally she was attacked by Sister Hickley and the priest who saw the pattern of her coat.

This is what Hiiragi has experienced, and the rest of the content is very clear, including the orphans in the church, everyone was 'executed' by the four Rakshasa ghosts.

Hiiragi also remembered that what she smelled at that time was gunpowder, and that Sister Hickley, in addition to going to meet with the people of the other churches, not only brought the orphans, but also brought gunpowder as a weapon.

Just now, one of the four ghosts of the Rakshasas, a strange man with a slender body, Thorn, said that these people are revolutionary troops who want to establish a stronghold near the imperial capital, so as to slowly encroach on them.

"It's so careless, Nan, you guy always likes to get into unnecessary trouble, and the reason why the minister likes you is because you have excellent ability to gather intelligence, right?"

Turning his head, Thorn looked at Hiiragi and said the same, the firelight falling on the right side of his face, which was stained with blood.

'Nan' – is that what you call yourself? Hiiragi's gaze fell on Thorn's body.

He wiped the blood away with his hand, and instead of waiting for Hiiragi to answer, Thorn continued what he had just said

"But it's not okay to be so careless, it's good that someone from the church betrayed these people, otherwise it would be a bit of trouble."

"What's the trouble? It would be nice to free the souls of all the people in the nearby church. ”

Zhu Tian, one of the four Rakshasa ghosts who was quite tall, said this, wiping the dirt and blood off his body with a sheet, and seemed to not care about what was happening in front of him at all.

At this time, Suzuka, who was originally relatively quiet, approached Hiiragi, and as the only female among the four Rakshasa ghosts, she was a shake M.

Hiiragi asked as she looked at Suzuka, who was approaching her, as she stared at the church that was gradually being engulfed in flames

"Is it necessary? What about those children? ”

"The kids? Ahh ”

"Don't show me, Suzuka-san!"

"What an innocent child, you turned out to be such a person? However, the fighting power of those children was so weak that the damage caused by me was completely unpleasant, so I twisted their necks without adding to their pain. ”

Telling the way to kill in a relaxed tone, Suzuka propped her chin with her hand.

"But it's a bit boring to do all this cleaning all the time."

"If you're bored with what the adults ordered, you can't come to Suzuka, right?"

The person who spoke was a brown-skinned woman named Horse Head who came out of a room not far away.

The four ghosts of Rakshasa are all concentrated here, and Hiiragi is a little uncomfortable for a while, but this kind of situation must be encountered often in the future, right?

After all, he is a subordinate of Minister Earnest, and he will definitely have some contact with the upper echelons of the empire and the darkness.

Sitting on the ground, slightly away from Suzuka beside him, Hiiragi also stared at the church that was gradually engulfed in flames.

The red flames seemed to scorch the sky, and as the fire grew, the church began to collapse from the corner to the left of the entrance.

In this starless night, it was as bright as day, and it was—the light of death.

Standing up from the ground, Hiiragi patted the dust off his body and looked at the sky behind him.

"I've wasted some more time, let's go to the imperial capital now."

"Nan, you don't have to be in such a hurry, we are still very interested in you, the messenger of the minister."

Suzuka said so, blocking Hiiragi's way.

At this time, the stomach of the horse's head, who had just spoken to Suzuka in a sarcastic tone, barked.

The horse's head scratched his yellow-brown hair with his hand and covered his stomach

"Oops, I forgot to eat a full meal just now, and I'm going to go somewhere else, right?"

"Self-inflicted."

"Wasn't everyone killing people at that time? In order not to be robbed by you, of course, you have to eat it quickly. ”

For Suzuka's words, the horse head complained dissatisfied, and his expression became lower and gloomy.

Hiiragi's eyes suddenly scanned the room where the horse head had just come out, and the tools inside could be seen through the door, which were kitchen knives and corn hanging on the walls.

Is it a kitchen?

Hiiragi also thought about it and raised his right hand

"I can cook some food, but the fire can't reach that kitchen now."

It turned out that the kitchen of the church was built in partitions, Hiiragi thought so, and the four Rakshasas who heard Hiiragi's words all focused their eyes on Hiiragi.

"It's not impossible to delay the death of the next target a little."

Thorn walked towards Hiiragi.

"Then you can give it a try, and get the cooking done."

"It's not about cooking, it's cooking, please, little ghost."

Zhu Tian, who was connected to the thorn, patted Hiiragi on the shoulder with his big hand, said.

Suzuka shrugged her shoulders, not thinking of objecting.

The hungry Ma Tou took Hiiragi's hand and led him to the kitchen where he had just walked out.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! You can fight when you're full! ”

"I'll see if there are any useful materials first."

At the urging of the horse's head, Hiiragi also entered the kitchen and looked around.

There is not much meat, only a piece of bacon hanging on the beam, and vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes are placed underneath, no, tomatoes are not vegetables but fruits.

It's just that in the past, there was a lawsuit in the United States over whether tomatoes are vegetables or fruits, and it was finally determined that tomatoes were vegetables and could not be taxed......

Compared to this, Hiiragi also confirmed the ingredients in the kitchen, walked to the rice bowl, opened the lid and saw half a bowl of rice.

Rice is sufficient, and there are not enough leftover vegetables and meat, so it may be more appropriate to use it to make porridge.

After determining what he needed, Hiiragi made a fire to cook, processed all the vegetables and other things, washed the rice and poured it into the pot.

"Are you used to killing people?"

Hiiragi couldn't cook quietly, so he asked this question to the horse's head, which had been dangling beside him.

From the point of view, Ma Tou is a lively girl full of energy, but the inside is completely different from the outside.

"Kill someone~"

The horse's head bent down and sniffed the aroma inside the pot with his nose

"It's not that I'm completely used to it, but I don't think it's a big deal anymore, people will die anyway, it's just a matter of time."

"Even so."

"Oh-oh? Minami are you such a person? Will the minister need someone like you? ”

"It's a bit of a boast, but my intelligence-gathering skills are first-class."

Although it is true that it is boasting.

Hiiragi also stirred the rice in the pot with a spoon, and after boiling, added vegetables and sliced bacon.

"I'm not interested in what kind of person you are, but your cooking skills seem to be okay."

"I should say thank you for the compliment."

Hiiragi also added some firewood to the stove inside to make the fire burn more vigorously.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, perhaps smelling the aroma of porridge, Suzuka walked in through the door.

At the same time, Hiiragi also smelled some burnt smell, it was the smell of the church burning, but fortunately it was barely upwind here, so the smell was not so strong.

"We're talking about your three views."

"Three views?"

Hiiragi also stopped, and stretched out the three fingers of his right hand like a teacher

"Outlook on life, values, and worldview."

"That stuff doesn't make any sense, right? Rather than thinking about ethereal things, paying attention to reality is the way to do it for smart people. ”

Suzuka bypassed Hiiragi and stared at the five-colored porridge inside the pot.

"It feels pretty good."

Hiiragi shrugged her shoulders in imitation of Suzuka's movements just now, walked towards the wooden platform behind her, and took out a few bowls

"You'll be able to eat it after a while."

……

After waiting for a while again, Hiiragi scooped out the porridge in the pot when it was fully cooked.

There are five large bowls in total, and Hiiragi only scoops half of them because he is not hungry.

Although I had the idea of poisoning the porridge, Hiiragi doesn't have any poison on her body now, and even if you do that, it will cause quite a lot of trouble, right?

Even with archiving capabilities, it's not a smart thing to waste your energy.

"It's finally ready to eat!"

Ma Touyi snatched the bowl from Hiiragi's hand, picked up chopsticks and ate at the door.

The others also hesitantly took the bowl from Hiiragi's hand.

Maybe it's the first time they've experienced eating freshly prepared food on the battlefield.

I have to say that Hiiragi also found a lot of spices in the kitchen, and the fragrance was stained on his body, and the five-color porridge was even more delicious after being seasoned thanks to this.

"Ah, this tastes really good."

Thorn's voice sounded a little surprised.

"It's good, the porridge in Huangquan Temple is just a paste compared to this."

Zhu Tian basically ate the porridge that had just been served in one bite.

"Oh oh oh, it's hot to the tongue! So comfortable!! ”

Really,Shake M can find a reason to be cool no matter where you are.。

After eating up the five-colored porridge that Hiiragi also made, Hiiragi also got a horse in exchange.

The next task of the Rakshasa Four Oni was to clean up the people of the other churches, and it was not very far from here, so they handed over one of the horses to Hiiragi.

"Alright, it's time for us to act."

As the leader, Thorn's eyes fell on the east.

Hiiragi also got on his horse and looked at the church behind him, which had been reduced to ruins, and sighed in his heart

"Let's go."

Towards the Imperial Capital.

"That's right."

Hiiragiya was stopped by Suzuka, who was standing on a tree branch, before he set off

"Nan, you, but it's easy to die."

Suzuka's smile was a little wicked.

Easy to die?

Is it naïve?

Hiiragi smiled as well.

"I know."

Of course, Nangong Hiiragi will also die at any time.

However, that death will bring new hope and a ...... future
