For a whole month after the Seven Day Feather Incident, I was unusually busy.

The monsters who were originally intimidated and deceived by Qiqi and did not want to come to Tianbei groceries, appeared in the store collectively after Qiqi was sealed, and all kinds of strange requests were placed in front of me one after another, in addition to normal letters, those who wanted me to help draw a monster calendar, those who wanted me to write an armistice letter for the demons, those who asked me to write genealogies, write lyrics, and paint portraits, and even the monsters asked me if I could help it cut its hair...

Instead of affecting my ghostwriter's business, Qiqi's instigation became even more prosperous...

The responsive Tianbei groceries have spread among the monsters, which should have been a good thing, but there are too many strange requests for me to be unbearable, Tsubaki also went out to play in the mountains and rivers, in desperation, I can only call Guan Qing for help, he is happy to help the monsters do this and that, but after all, the number of monsters that can be seen is limited, so most of them have to come by myself, after I missed the morning professional class for the Nth time because I overslept, I made an important decision.

"Closed door?" Guan Qing handed me the notes, "The notes of the past few days, you can return them to me after reading them, don't worry." ”

I was lying on my desk, I didn't listen to the lecture at all, and I was in a fugue the whole time.

"Thank you," I didn't even raise my head to hold Guan Qing's notebook, "If I don't close the door and thank you, I feel that I am not far from dying of overwork." ”

"The monsters won't care about you," Guan Qing said, "You still don't refuse to write letters, in case you're in a hurry, but you don't want to take on things that are outside of the duties of a ghostwriter." ”

I yawned, my body like lead water, "yes, oh no, I'm going back to sleep." ”

When I got back to the shop, the first thing I did was find a wooden board and write twelve words on it in bold red.

"If you are sick, write a letter and number, don't disturb anything else. ”

As soon as it got dark, I hung the sign on the container next to the bell, put on my earplugs, got into the quilt, and told myself that I wouldn't care if the sky fell, and I was looking forward to sleeping until dawn.

In the middle of the night, I heard countless whispers around me.

"What is written on this sign, Lord Yeke?"

"Human language is so complex... Seems to mean don't bother?"

Oops, I forgot that my pen automatically converts words that the person reading can understand, so the monsters can only read the words written by my pen, and they definitely can't read this brand.

"Why can't he hear us? Is he dead?"

"Nonsense, obviously there is still breathing, where is it so easy to die. ”

"But he didn't even wear glasses... Did you fall asleep?"

My brain was clear, but my eyelids couldn't open as if they were glued together, and my body defied my brain's command to say nothing.

"Doesn't it mean that human beings are very delicate and can easily get sick?"

"Hey, do you think Lord Ye Ke is sick?"

yes, I'm just sick! So you can let me rest for a few days...

"It looks like yes, the brows are so tightly wrinkled, it should be uncomfortable?"

"That's right! It must be uncomfortable, Lord Yek has been working too hard lately. ”

Huh, these monsters actually feel it?

"Then we'll all come back in three or four days, shall we? ”

"That's it, let's disperse, let's disperse, don't wake him up. ”

"Let's leave a message for him, or he'll be lonely when he finds out that we haven't been here for a few days. ”

After a while, the room fell silent again, and after a while, I opened my eyes when I was sure that there were no more youkai in the shop.

There were all kinds of strange things on the ground, small green bottles, weird jelly beans, orange ribbons...... There is also an A4 piece of paper full of yokai notes, and my pen is placed next to it.

These guys can even find the A4 paper in the store, and they steal my fountain pen, this dragon and phoenix dance, all write something, I put on my glasses, and the font in front of me began to become clear.

"Lord Yeke, you have a good rest!"

"Don't think about us when we're away. ”

"This is my family's ancestral pharmacy, which cures all diseases. ”

"Tie the ribbon on your head and don't have nightmares!"

......

This group of guys, I don't know if they will really do what they say, maybe they will run back after a while, and who will think of you, really, I am so at ease alone....

I read the messages of the youkai over and over again, and I felt half better.

Actually, they're pretty cute.

For the next two days, none of the youkai came to the store in the middle of the night to harass me, and during the day, I occasionally encountered some youkai on the street, and they all asked me if I was feeling better, or that the weather was awesome today.

"You don't seem to be able to hide that you can see monsters?" asked Guan Qing, who was walking side by side with me.

"Because it's you, and now that you can see it, I have nothing to hide. ”

"It's not entirely like that, I always think that you don't talk about youkai as much as you used to..."

"Alienation. I said, "I'm not as intentional about alienating youkai as I used to be." ”

"Well, yes, that's what it feels like. Guan Qing said.

"I don't know why, but I think it's good. I remembered what had happened recently, "Youkai are sometimes more sentient than humans. But sometimes I think it's cruel that people can see such a thing as a monster. ”

Guan Qing quickly understood what I meant, "Hmm... We may be gone after a few decades, but it's sad that they can live for a long, long time, and they can only live with their memories. He touched the necklace left by his grandmother around his neck, "But Qingsu told me that if humans can see monsters, they must not be able to see them for no reason, and there must be a reason for nature to arrange it." ”

"Haha, Qingsu is still a philosopher. I smiled and said, "If someone turns into a monster, isn't it also nature's arrangement?"

"Where can anyone become a youkai? Guan Qing looked at me speechlessly, "Your brain is a bit big." ”

"What if," I said, "I've seen so many strange things now, I'm not going to be weird." ”

At the end of the day, I went back to the shop to take a shower, took off my glasses, and lay comfortably on the bed, wondering if there would be a youkai tonight, thinking about it, I fell asleep, I don't know how long it was, I vaguely felt something jump on me.

I opened my eyes and met a blue eye, almost on my face, staring at me, so close that I could see it without glasses.

"Ahh

"You're Lord Ye Ke, aren't you?" the visitor began to introduce himself unhurriedly, listening to the voice, it was a man... No, it's a male, "I'm from the south, and I've heard from other youkai that you've been unwell these days, but I'm sorry, I have something urgent to ask you for help with, and I have to come late at night to disturb your rest." ”

"Oh... It's okay, I'm used to it, too," the bird was still very polite, and it was hard for me to refuse, "Say, what are you looking for... What's wrong with your body?"

The bird in front of him looked no different from an ordinary bird from the side, but when it turned around, it only had one eye, one wing, and one leg.

This monster, is it half a bird?
