3. Artifact House
Since Kyoko suddenly disappeared, the three of them had to put down everything they were doing and start searching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is the only one who knows Kyoko's true "strength", and even so, it's really dangerous to let Kyoko wander around the streets alone that she is not fully familiar with.
After all, Kyoko is really a little lacking in common sense, although she is not stupid enough to be abducted by someone because of the existence of the "master" of Beidou, but in case she encounters a surreal existence such as a monster, and Kyoko has any conflict because she is not good at words......
The most anxious thing is Banyu, and after ordering Beidou and Banyang to look for it separately, she was the first to slip away, and Beidou chose to return the same way to find Jingzi's traces after some consideration.
Kyoko's dull and honest personality determines that it is impossible for her to leave her companions and run around, and for this somewhat unfamiliar world, she does not "hunt for treasures" like a naughty ghost, but more honestly follows behind her to adapt silently. If she said that she was lost, it was more likely that she encountered something that made her stop, so she was left behind by the people who had been talking.
So, what was it that made her stop? Obviously, after living in the house as a "sister", Kyoko didn't show any love for something at all, but it was simply the problem that Banyu was currently struggling with. Clothes, she was just plain, expressionless like a gorgeous hanger, electrical appliances, she would open her mouth a little, but it looked more like a surprise, food, she only gobbled up some violent things, I am afraid she would rather be full than delicious.
It's hard to imagine that Kyoko will be attracted to anything, so if she could, it would be necessary to buy it and give it to her.
The sky has darkened, and the akane sunset is certainly gorgeous, but it is impossible to glimpse its true splendor in the high-rise places, and occasionally there will be one or two little monsters that Beidou can't say and can't describe, looking at the sunset, as if "looking for yourself" with an expression of enjoyment. But...... More ordinary people are in a hurry or looking for a place to eat.
When Kyoko comes back to her senses and finds that everyone is gone, I'm afraid her first reaction should be to wait at home, but this is really an opportunity to find out what Kyoko likes, and Beidou is not willing to give up easily. Thinking of this, Beidou accelerated his pace against the flow of people, and the noisy and crowded crowd was certainly a little in the way, but it was not difficult for Beidou's eyes to find Kyoko.
Suddenly, another figure rushed straight towards Beidou, although Beidou subconsciously wanted to dodge the past, but because of the other party's speed, he couldn't help but bump into his arms.
Woman...... Moreover, at least she is older than Banyu, with black hair and black hats and sunglasses, and she has a thick perfume on her body, although this is not the smell of annoying.
If this is a chance encounter, Beidou will not believe in any miracles anymore, because this woman's overly reckless action has just been dodged by herself, but she still bumped into it impartially, obviously...... She did it on purpose.
"I'm sorry, you're alright. ”
Despite this, Beidou still pretended not to know and reached out to pull the woman sitting on the ground. Slender hands, but wrapped in a layer of black gloves, as a woman, her dress is really too "cool".
"Nothing, thank you. The woman who stood up with the help of Beidou elegantly dusted off her body, and at the same time she put her hand into her pocket and pulled out a photo, "Excuse me, have you seen the girl in the photo?"
The photo shows a little Lori wearing doll pajamas and looks like she is only a teenager, and I don't know if it's because she didn't wake up, she rubbed her eyes and yawned, and she was photographed in such a lazy appearance.
Is the woman in front of you looking for someone? But anyone will be happy to help with this kind of thing, and there is really no need to knock herself down and then ask seemingly random questions.
"I haven't seen it. ”
Putting these aside, Beidou really hasn't seen the girl in the photo, "You can go to the police station and ask." ”
"Thank you. ”
The woman politely thanked her, but from her eyes, Beidou didn't see the intention of going to the police at all. It's a bit of a weird woman, but this should be over.
After seeing the woman go away, Beidou, who was settled, also began to look for Kyoko's traces along the way again, it should be said that the accident was not as expected, just as Beidou figured out a few places where Kyoko might stay, a familiar thin figure appeared in the corner of his sight.
It's true that it's Kyoko, it's just ...... What the hell is she doing?
It was as if Cinderella had seen the beautiful clothes in the window, staring intently at a certain place, and the ice cream in her hand had already melted clean, dripping onto the clothes she had just bought. It's not like there's an accident, can't it...... Did Kyoko take a fancy to something she liked?
"Kyoko, what are you doing?"
"Ah......h
Hokuto's shouts finally reached Kyoko's ears, and she suddenly came back to her senses and finally noticed that the ice cream had melted, and lowered her head blankly after a while.
No, these are nothing, let alone soiling the clothes, as long as she can please Kyoko, I'm afraid she will find a room of fashion if she wants to tear her clothes in the middle of the rain. The problem was where Kyoko was looking, and as Beidou got closer, the uneasiness that slowly began to emerge in his heart grew, and finally turned into reality when he came to the front of the store.
"Lao Wang Hardware Store", the five big characters handwritten in paint are very conspicuous, although this is just an ordinary tool shop, but Beidou finally understands why Kyoko stopped and stared at this place.
In the direction where Kyoko's line of sight extends is a fire axe, which was supposed to be used for broken windows and other purposes, and it seems to have a different taste in Kyoko's eyes. Occasionally, her gaze would become confused, and at the same time, her gaze would be slightly off, and the tools in that place were large and small wrenches.
Ah, is that really the case...... Kyoko, who had been fighting with beasts or slaves in the gladiatorial arena before, was naturally not interested in anything like clothes, and she must also be "full" for food, and what really gave her expectations and longings was only these things that "can be used as tools when you retreat, and can be used as weapons when you enter".
If you don't say it, I'm afraid Banyu won't be able to please Kyoko for the rest of my life.
"What's in your interest?"
Seeing Kyoko's gaze move back again, Beidou also squatted down and asked, "Axe?"
"Hmm...... That's sharp, it's strong. Kyoko nodded solemnly, completely with an attitude of evaluating "weapons" rather than "tools". But this is not surprising, after all, the times are advancing, and the quality of the tools manufactured will get better and better, which is naturally not comparable to the creations of the craftsmen of Kyoko's time.
"Anything else?"
Beidou stood up, if Kyoko really wanted these things, then even a truckload of Beidou could buy them for her. Moreover, the reason why Kyoko wants it is not to use it for "play", but to use it as a "weapon", and Beidou has no reason to stop Kyoko's "eccentric" hobby.
"That...... What is it. ”
"It's a wrench, it's used to screw rivets. ”
After a pause, Beidou lowered his voice, "Of course it's also very hard, it's definitely no problem to knock people." ”
"What about that?"
"A screwdriver is used to tighten screws. Well...... The front is pointy and should be able to ...... Poke it out. ”
"Hey, boy, you're this little girl, her brother, aren't you?"
Just when Beidou was in a complicated mood to explain the "superfluous" use of various tools to Kyoko, the middle-aged man who was watching the broken TV in the store also poked his head out, "I'll make you cheaper, buy whatever you want." The little girl stood and watched for a long time, and people panicked. ”
"Ahh......h I'm coming!"
Beidou answered, and then touched Kyoko's head, the supple feel was very addictive, "Just say what you want, don't be polite to me." ”
“...... Well, that'...... I want them all. ”
Kyoko, who is very obedient, is not polite at all, maybe she is not a shy person at all. And what makes Beidou a little hairy is that when Kyoko sees this dazzling array of objects, her eyes seem to be desperately hiding some kind of terrible emotion.
"I'm going back...... Figure out the usage. ”
(Belle's character has been completed for a long time, and the book review area is set up in the top building.) I don't know if it ruined many people's childhood dreams, a little panicked. )
