During the conversation during the upstairs journey, Musashino learned about the situation at Mr. Takahashi's house.

Maki Hattori confidently introduced:

"Mr. Takahashi's house must be weird gas."

Strange Gas, a wasteland creature.

It is usually a small creature that mutates after being accidentally drilled into a gas pipeline.

Gas will erode and reassemble their flesh and bones, and their bones will be replaced with metal pipes, becoming special lifeforms composed of metal and gas.

"Musashi-san, have you seen one?"

Maki feels that he is mysterious.

So before loading the ratio, you must confirm it.

After all, this kind of person who is covered in a cloak is either a ghost or a big man.

He's clearly more like the latter.

"Ah......h

Musashino shook his head.

He usually lives in a 4㎡ container house, and he hasn't even connected the gas pipeline of Temeow! Who knows what wasteland creatures will be inside?

┭┮_┭┮woowoo~

It's too hard for me!

"Hehe, there used to be a strange gas in my house, which I wiped out." Maki Hattori patted his towering chest.

A confident look.

It seems that Musashi-san should not be very strong.

Maybe he was dressed so tightly and impermeable, but he was afraid that he would be allergic if he accidentally touched a woman.

Boys who are allergic to women......

Sounds a little pitiful.

But if you think about it, there's a kind of honey cuteness!

(ಡωಡ)hiahiahia~

Anyway, it's time for this reserve officer's personal show!

Takahashi's family lives on the 103rd floor, and the elevator is out of service at night, and the two of them climb up hard, Musashino is nothing, and Maki Hattori is tired and sweating when he arrives.

Knock on the door.

It was Mr. Takahashi who opened the door.

His eyes were swollen and unkempt, and he looked like he hadn't slept for a long time.

"You ...... Is it a transcendent who accepts commissions? ”

He seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and his eyes lit up instantly:

"The stuff in the gas pipeline, it's starting to ring again!"

Musashino listened.

There was a subtle echo of metal in the kitchen on the left, strong and weak, intermittent, and it seemed that wasteland creatures had indeed burrowed into the gas pipeline.

After appeasing Mr. Takahashi, the two went to the kitchen.

"Musashi-san, just leave it to me here."

Maki Hattori volunteered.

She skillfully turned off the main valve pipe, opened the vent, and took out a small tube of black thick liquid from her backpack, and poured it all next to the vent.

A pungent smell permeated.

Musashino frowned slightly: "What is this?" ”

Smells like gasoline.

She didn't want to use an open flame to detonate the pipe and blow up the strange gas, right?

That's crazy too!

Maki Hattori stood up and patted the dust off his hands:

"It's a special aromatic bait that mimics the gasoline flavor that weird gases love, and if the smell drifts over, it's 100 percent hooked."

Musashino was silent for a few seconds.

Good, good professional.

It turns out that it is not easy to accept the commission of the transcendent, not only to have a rich knowledge reserve of wasteland creatures, but also to prepare various professional equipment.

I was careless.

Miss Hattori, come prepared!

"Ahem~ that Hattori-san...... This time the commission money ......"

Maki Hattori stared at the gas pipe intently and replied casually:

"After entrusting Mr. Kanetakashi to pay for it, the owner will transfer it to our respective accounts equally, so don't worry, the izakaya never defaults."

Hey?

Musashino blinked, and the element perceived:

Average score!

It turns out that the commission fee is not distributed according to the amount of contribution, but simply and rudely each person takes half of it.

That's fine.

He silently stepped aside, clearing the weird gas seemed easy for Hattori Maki, who could paddle the whole way...... Phew, it's a learning experience!

Bang, bang, bang......

Inside the gas pipeline, the sound of metal knocking became more and more intense.

"It's coming, be careful!" Maki Hattori is on high alert.

The metal pipes began to vibrate violently, and a large amount of dense and almost liquefied gray gas gushed out wildly, filling the entire kitchen in an instant.

Musashino and Maki Hattori quickly retreated to the living room.

DUANG！

A large pile of broken metal pipes flew out of the vents, smashing the kitchen doors and windows to shreds.

"Oh roar roar~"

There was a low roar from within the smoke.

Then, the metal tubes are bent, folded, and spliced together to form a flat hemispherical frame with a diameter of about three meters and a height of more than two meters, with a total of six openings in a circle.

Kind of like ...... Hollowed-out turtle shell.

Gray gas is poured into the "turtle shell", and it gathers into an illusory head, tail, and limbs at the positions of the six openings.

Bite~

Its eye sockets lit up with a faint blue flame, staring at the two of them faintly.

Wasteland creatures, monster gas!

Musashino looked up at the behemoth that took up the entire kitchen.

He wasn't afraid, as spirits were immune to physical damage.

It's just a little emotional.

The shape of the wasteland creatures can be so exaggerated and strange!

The mutated creatures he came into contact with in the past were at most cats who could learn human speech and dogs who could pull out chocolate-flavored.

And a monster of this level, she actually has the confidence to easily take it down.

It seems that Hattori-san......

What a great transcendent!

At this time, fine beads of sweat were already oozing from the forehead of Hattori Maki, who was rushing forward, and even the fine short hair in front of his forehead was wet:

"That doesn't seem right."

The strange gas that had invaded her house was less than a quarter of the size of the one in front of her.

Not at all in the same order of magnitude.

Oops, it's estimated to overturn.

She glanced behind her with her peripheral vision, and Musashino's face was full of anticipation, waiting to see how she would "kill" the strange gas in seconds.

Ahh

If I back down now, Musashi-san might laugh at me.

The cowhide that I bragged about was finished crying.

Maki Hattori takes a deep breath hard:

"Isn't it just weird gas, no matter how strong it is, it's just a low-level wasteland creature with a risk rating of D, what's the spirit?"

She pulls a cylinder out of her backpack.

"Huh?"

Musashino recognized it as a bundle of white wool.

What does her extraordinary ability have to do with yarn?

Roar!!!

The strange gas roared loudly, bringing up a thick black smoke and suddenly rushing towards Hattori Maki.

Hattori Maki's right leg kicked the ground violently, bowed and jumped to the top of the strange gas, and the wool in his hand was scattered, wrapping around the strange gas gas several times.

Strange gas instinctively defended at first.

But it soon discovered that it was soft silk threads that were entangled.

Whew!

It was immediately annoyed and ready to brew an even more fierce attack.

Musashino was confused:

What is this doing?

At this time, Maki Hattori suddenly bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the silk thread.

Buzz –

The unexpected happened.

After being stained with blood, the soft silk threads immediately hardened and became as straight as steel cables, instantly becoming a net-like cage that trapped the strange gas.

Each thread shimmers with a vivid red light, illuminating the room.

Hey?

Is this Hattori-san's extraordinary ability?

Her blood appears to have a powerful catalytic effect, altering the material properties of the yarn in an instant.

"Close!"

Maki Hattori pulled back his hand.

The net-like cage quickly tightened, and the dense red silk threads were like laser knives, and the sharp momentum seemed to twist the strange gas into pieces.

Whew-

Musashino breathed a sigh of relief:

"It should ...... No problem, right? ”
