What did he mean?

Sure enough, the clingy white cat showed her head at the door of the classroom, and I picked her up and ran away, Tsubaki meowed dissatisfiedly in my arms, and I ran until the playground before stopping.

"Hey, what are you running!" Tsubaki yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Because you're too conspicuous!" I gasped, and when I looked down, the cat in my arms had become a girl, and with a shake of my hand, the girl fell out of my hand and fell on the runway with a pop.

"Are you crazy! You said I was too conspicuous, so I turned into a human form and no one else could see me!" she sat on the floor, pouting and glaring, as if she had fallen.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry—" I held out my hand, "didn't break it, did it?"

"Hmph!" Tsubaki turned his head, not looking to forgive me.

I burst out laughing and sat down next to her, "Why did you come here to find me?"

"Because there are customers in the store!" and there are people looking for you!ah!" she said word by word.

"Looking for me now?"

"Well, a snake came looking for you just now, but the old man saw it and almost got caught. Tsubaki smiled, a gloating expression.

“... Hey, you're showing too much of it. The white cat's mood was all written on his face, "You must be standing by and laughing at the snake, without any sympathy at all." ”

"Why! I grabbed the snake in front of the old man and threw it out!"

“...... Why don't you stand by and laugh at you......"

"But if you don't throw it out, how do I know what that snake is looking for you, is it so difficult to talk about life and ideals in front of the old man?" Tsubaki rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay, you're doing the best!, my lady, can you tell me what that snake is looking for me?"

Tsubaki couldn't hide the smugness on his face, "It's not a big deal, it just wants you to help send a bouquet of flowers, so I agreed!"

I suddenly remembered the snake that Guan Qing told me in the morning, and suddenly I had a feeling that I had been pitted, "...... You didn't ask who you were sending the flowers to?"

"It's for a woman who is kind to it, that woman has just passed away, and it wants to send its thanks in a human way, but its demonic power can't make it become human, so I want you to go instead of it. ”

“... Is there a youkai that can transform into a human at will?"

"There are many kinds of monsters, like me and that snake were originally just ordinary animals, and they only became monsters later, and the demon power is very weak, so ordinary people can't see the form of our monsters, they can only see our body. But some big monsters are very powerful, not only can they become humans, but they can also communicate with people without flaws. ”

"If you want to become a human, you can change, you don't have to eat or use any spells like You Zhen?"

"Of course not, those big monsters have very strong powers, have an extremely long lifespan, and have all kinds of powerful tricks, but most of them are not in crowded places, so I've never seen a big monster in the city all the time. ”

"I feel like I've heard something terrible. "I was suddenly glad I was living in the city.

"When are you going to deliver the flowers?" Tsubaki asked, hugging her knees.

“...... What do you say to the family when I go, saying that I have been entrusted by a snake to pay tribute to your mistress?"

"Uh... You don't have to talk about snakes. Tsubaki blinked, obviously not thinking that much.

"It's not a parent, everyone will think it's strange that I suddenly come to deliver flowers. I looked at Tsubaki with an innocent face, sighed, took out my mobile phone and sent a message to Guan Qing and said I was in the playground, "What do you think and just agree to it?"

"Because, it says that the woman's husband is from a family of demon slayers. Tsubaki smiled evilly, deciding that I would be interested in it.

“... Well, you win. I thought about it for a moment and retorted, "How do I remember who ever said she knew a guy and knew why I could see a youkai?"

Every time this topic is mentioned, Tsubaki will look left and right and say to him, "Of course I know, but... But that guy likes to travel all over the world, so it's not easy to find it. ”

"Mmmm, really?" I put my face in front of her, and I couldn't help but laugh at her flustered appearance, and the answer can always be found.

"Yeke... What are you doing?" Guan Qing called me not far away.

"Talking to Tsubaki, what..."I suddenly realized that I was in school now, and ordinary people couldn't see Tsubaki become human. In their eyes, I was a weirdo who talked and laughed at the air.

"Yek, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have come to the school to look for you. Tsubaki whispered, discovering my embarrassment.

"Ha, it's okay, I'm used to it. "It's not Tsubaki's problem, I shouldn't make her feel uneasy, but it's hard not to care that people are constantly whispering past me on the playground.

"You said you," Guan Qing walked up to me and said to me in a loud voice, "Can you change places by memorizing lines?" ”

In a word, the people around him suddenly realized.

I looked at Guan Qing gratefully, this is not the first time he has rescued me.

Sitting side by side next to me, "You're not cold, sitting in the playground in the winter." Guan Qing pointed to my side, "Where is Tsubaki?" I nodded, and he poked me with his elbow, "What does Tsubaki look like? Is she pretty? I really want to see if she doesn't look like a cat." ”

"Well, pretty. I replied directly, and seeing Tsubaki's excited expression, I added, "It's a beautiful cat." ”

“... I mean, she became human. Guan Qing said.

"It's about the same as when I was a cat," I could feel Tsubaki's vicious gaze and quickly changed the subject, "Guan Qing, do you remember the snake you told me about today?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"It's coming for me. ”

"Huh, so fast, what are you looking for?"

"Let's talk as we go, walk Tsubaki, and go home. ”

As soon as I entered the store, the old man threw me a pack of cat treats, "Reward for Tsubaki, who caught the snake today." Tsubaki, the foodie, immediately jumped off my shoulder, grabbed the snack and went into the corner.

"Why are you here again?" this is the old man's opening remarks every time he sees Guan Qing.

"I'm here to discuss my studies with Ye Ke. This is also Guan Qing's answer every time.

"Don't mess with the things in my shop," the old man admonished, "I'm out for a walk, and you two can discuss it." ”

As soon as the old man went out, Guan Qing slumped in his chair, "Why does this old man sneer at me every time, and I haven't done anything to make him unhappy, right?"

"He does that to everyone. "I took out a notebook from a drawer, and it had the names of the youkai who would come to pick up the greeting card tonight.

"You're not afraid of dying of exhaustion," Guan Qing quipped, "People die of overwork for their careers, and you write greeting cards for monsters." ”

"Can we continue chatting? You think I want to write so much. "I picked up the greeting cards I had prepared and wrote them one by one.

"Can you say no. ”

"Originally, I thought the same thing, but because I could see them, I couldn't bear to refuse, they were all kind. "And if I want to know why I see youkai, I need to know more about them." Looking at the pen in my hand, I swallowed back the rest of the words.

"How do you know that youkai are kind?" Tsubaki's voice came from behind the shelf.

"At least the people I met were kind. ”

"You've seen too few youkai, and there are still a lot of vicious youkai. Tsubaki said, "Otherwise, there would be no demon slayers." ”

"What did Tsubaki say?" Guan Qing looked at me and the shelf, looking confused.

"She said there were a lot of bad monsters, but I didn't see them. Guan Qing, you said that if I want to take the place of the snake to send flowers to the deceased hostess, in what capacity is it better to go?" Thinking of the demon slayer that Tsubaki said, I was a little concerned.

"Are you really going to go?"

"Well, do I have everything I need here, and it's not a big deal to send a flower. ”

"But no matter what the reason, it's abrupt for you to go directly. Guan Qing also ran out of ideas.

"Come on, come on, ask Tsubaki-sama for help at this time. Tsubaki, who was well-fed and well-fed, sat on the beam, "I'll go and help you find out how the situation is first?"

"Is it okay for you to go?" I raised my head and asked, after all, it was the home of the demon killers, would it be too dangerous for Tsubaki to go.

"What's the problem, I'm just going to take a look, it's not going to be okay, anyway, I'll help you promise the snake. "A white cat jumped off the beam and came out of the window.

"Hey, you wait!" I opened the window to stop her, but the white cat was nowhere to be seen.

"Why did Tsubaki go?" Guan Qing, who couldn't hear Tsubaki's words, couldn't figure out the situation at all.

She said to go to the family first to see what was going on. "I don't know why, I can't say what worries.

Guan Qing clapped his hands, "Yes, you can let her take a look first, after all, everyone won't care too much about a cat." ”

"Well, let's hope..."Sure enough, it's not a good thing to see youkai, and I keep reminding myself to keep my distance from them, but humans are emotional creatures, and it's impossible to be indifferent to what they see, and once the barrier between youkai and humans is broken, many things may start to develop in the unknown direction.
