Ashina's glowing confectionery shop covers a huge area, the size of eight ordinary small people, and even if you don't stop walking, you have to walk through the backyard for half a minute.

The courtyard landscape that was originally intended for guests to play with the wandering girls was demolished, and the rockery was torn down to become a huge square pond with large red carp probes in it, shining like a precious jewel under the illumination of the slanting sun.

There was a magical treasure carp the size of half a human, which made Butterfly Shinobu firmly adhere to the stereotype that "everything should be big".

As he passed the arched bridge above the pond, Genichiro keenly summoned the attribute panel and found that his luck had actually improved a little.

[In the vicinity of the treasure carp, you can really increase your luck. 】

[Grandpa was able to develop two postures of ascending carp and descending carp when appreciating the treasure carp, maybe there is also this reason.] 】

In addition, when he turned on his vision, he also keenly noticed that the maple trees and winter cherry trees planted on the shore of the pond had a white mist wrapped around them, which was obviously stained with the light of the treasure carp.

However, those "thunder dogs" that can survive in the water don't know where they were put by Shinichi Zuose, and he didn't see any of them.

With the sound of Kotaro's deliberately made footsteps of "DuangDuangDuangDuang", the treasure carp were immediately frightened and fled in all directions, directly penetrating into the stones on the shore, disappearing without a trace, and performing a magical scene of changing into a live fish. Kotaro laughed at this scene, apparently he did it a lot, and he enjoyed it.

The luck bonus on Genichiro is gone.

[It turns out that this fish can really penetrate the wall.] 】

When he found this, Ichiro and Shinobu Butterfly were equally surprised.

He looked at the stunned butterfly and said, "After a while, there will be no one here, they will come back, you can come back if you want to see it." ”

He knew that Butterfly Shinobu was a goldfish lover.

It is only when she watches the goldfish swim freely in the water that the butterfly's temper calms down, which is supposed to be related to her experience when she learned to breathe water.

Looking at the crystal clear pond, Butterfly Shinobu nodded sluggishly, feeling that nothing would surprise her today.

Giants of more than two meters, beautiful women with snake-eyed snakes, and this giant carp that pierces walls.

She was a little convinced now, and maybe there really was a big white snake wrapped around a mountain to rest.

[It seems that the next lottery, we have to pull Murata to this place, so the effect should be better.] 】

[I don't know how lucky that guy can add to me, at least 5 points.] 】

Ichiro thought to himself.

When the three of them came to the door of the main hall, they had not yet seen anyone, and they heard a loud voice from inside.

"The Queen of England is like a shareholder who has been robbed of her shares, with the title of honorary director, and she cannot be blamed for any problems in the country, and the credit is the same; The president of the United States is like the experience manager you invite from outside, and all the grievances have to be endured by yourself; The emperor of Japan is like a major shareholder who is part-time chairman, and if he makes any mistakes, he will push it to the cabinet, and it will be a big deal to change the government; But if there is any merit, but it is all on him, he deified himself for the people to worship, and took the will of one man as the will of the whole nation. ”

The voice was impassioned, sounding like a child who hadn't completely changed his voice.

What he said, though cliché in the universities outside, was very fresh to people who didn't care about current affairs.

After all, there are a few people who dare to say that the emperor is not.

"The cabinet is now held by the feudal lords in turn, and 45 percent of the annual budget is spent on military replenishment, and the army is firmly in their hands. Emperor Meiji was on the throne, and there were still people who could suppress them. But after his death, the combination of this deified emperor and the foolish army will probably cause irreparable disasters to Japan and the whole world......"

[Didn't you say that Kurou was taking English class?] 】

[Why are you still talking about politics?] 】

Listening to the words inside, Ichiro didn't feel anything, and pushed open the paper door with a click.

I saw that on the low couch in the middle of the room, Jiuro was sitting next to a good-looking young man with a long face, and on the table was a newspaper full of foreign languages, and at the top was a copy of The Times.

The moment he saw Genichiro, Jiurou immediately got up and said, "Brother Genichiro ......"

His eyes swept over Genichiro's left hand, revealing a hint of deep nostalgia that turned to joy again.

"It's nice to see for yourself that you're okay." He said sincerely.

The young man behind Kuro also stood up, carefully looked at the few people who came in, did not speak, and his gaze lingered on Butterfly Shinobi for a moment.

And Butterfly Shinobu focused all her attention on Kuro, and when she estimated Kuro's height, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally there's a normal one."

"This kid looks quite cute, not as serious as Ichiro, but there is always an inexplicable ......"

"Unattainable feeling?"

Faintly, Butterfly Ren feels that this child's temperament is a bit like the lord who has a relationship with her, which makes people can't help but want to get closer, but they are unconsciously ashamed of themselves.

The sincerity in Kuro's words made Genichiro happy.

"There was a little accident, but there was no danger to life."

He pressed his left hand on Jiurou's shoulder and glanced behind him, "Besides, shouldn't you call me brother?" Titles like brother are too formal. ”

Kuro immediately saw the butterfly shinobi standing behind Kotaro, and only then did he notice that there was an outsider, but the sense of presence in the space was a little insufficient.

"I'm sorry, I was rude, this ......"

"This is Miss Butterfly Shinobi, don't look at her young age, but she is a very good doctor, and my surgery was also done by her and her sister."

"I can't thank you enough."

Jiurou bowed to Butterfly Shinobi, Butterfly Shinobu hurriedly returned the salute, and the maturity and etiquette of the other party almost made her forget the age of the other party.

Then Genichiro introduced to Butterfly Shinobi, "This is my younger brother Kuro Hirata, following his adoptive parents' surname. This year's ...... Well, I'm eight years old this year, and I like to read, but I have some common hobbies with Miss Shinobi. ”

In fact, Jiuro is already eleven years old. It's just that he didn't eat meat before, so he's relatively short.

But because Ichiro had told Murata his age in prison, Kuro had no choice but to deign to reduce his age.

Kuro: "......"

Jiulang didn't know what lies his brother had told again, but he didn't have the idea of poking it, so he could only cooperate aggrievedly.

After greeting Butterfly Shinobi, he introduced the young man behind him to Koichiro: "This is Mr. Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a foreign language teacher that Mr. Anayama hired for me, who is proficient in Chinese, German, and English, and is very knowledgeable. ”

"Jiurou is really ridiculous. I'm just a middle school student, and I've barely taught myself some foreign languages, but my level is only enough to read some news, and my proficiency is far from being proficient. ”

This Mr. Akutagawa looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was very modest in his speech, and he was well-mannered, not like an ordinary child.

Seeing that he was so young, Genichiro asked, "How did Akutagawa-san get acquainted with Anayama?" ”

Jiulang's expression was immediately a little embarrassed, and just as he wanted to say something, he was preemptively said by Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"There's nothing you can't say."

He smiled, "My biological father was a milk businessman, and his company now supplies fresh milk to the whole of Yoshiwara, and Mr. Anayama has a lot of ideas. My father heard that Kuro was interested in foreign languages, and it happened that I didn't want to go to school recently, so he introduced me to Mr. Anayama. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jiuro with some admiration.

"But I didn't expect that Jiurou was still a rare foreign language genius. He memorized the grammar of words that would take the average person three months to master. To be honest, I'm afraid in a few days, I won't be able to teach him anything. ”

"You're welcome."

Kuro said modestly.

"Okay, since it's the day to reunite with my family, I won't bother you, it just so happens that I still have something to ask a senior."

He also saw that several people seemed to have something to talk about, and after bowing, he was about to leave, but when he passed by Butterfly Shinobi, he suddenly stood still.

"This young lady, although a little presumptuous, but since yesterday, there have been police arrests people in black uniforms and carrying knives. If you don't want to be misunderstood, it's best to change your clothes before going out. ”

After that, he didn't wait for the butterfly to reply, and then saluted and left.

"Kotaro, go and send Mr. Akutagawa."

"Okay."

Kotaro put the food box on the table and immediately followed, and after a while, the laughter of the two could be heard outside, and it seemed that this Mr. Akutagawa was very suitable for coaxing children.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Butterfly Shinobu recovered from his previous sluggishness.

"What does he mean by that?"

Butterfly Shinobu repeated, "In a black uniform...... Someone who carries a katana, that's—isn't that ......"

This description sounds like a ghost killing team.

"Miss Butterfly Shinobi is a member of the Demon Slayer Team."

Kuro knew a lot, "Last night at Rashomon, Mr. Anayama saw two men in black who were taken away by the police for carrying knives, and one of them was wounded in the leg by a bullet. When he was arrested, one of them said that there were ghosts entrenched in the wandering girl's house over there, and it should be someone from the ghost killing team. ”

Butterfly Shinobi's face immediately became ugly.

"They, they're too careless! How can you cause such trouble to the lord at such a time! ”

Now that the headquarters of the ghost killing team is "haunted", the three pillars can't solve it together, and the lord's body is so weak, there are too many things to worry about.

Speaking of which, Butterfly Shinobu was still a little angry, apparently treating the two team members as rookies who acted recklessly, causing panic among the residents and being arrested.

However, Jiurou shook his head: "It's not that careless, yesterday's incident, I'm afraid it wasn't accidental." ”

Stringichiro asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?" ”

[Could it be that the police can still target the ghost killing team? 】

"There are notices from the police in the morning, and there are police notices in every store, and they repeatedly emphasize it."

Kuro pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of a pile of foreign-language newspapers.

Ichiro took the note, glanced at it, and read it aloud:

"There are illegal and violent organizations in the civil sector that deceive the ignorant people on the pretext of ghosts, often trespassing on people's homes, extortion, and harming good civilians, and their actions have seriously endangered public safety and social stability. It is reported that the members of the organization all wear standard black civilian clothes, and the white Chinese character 'extinguish' is written on the back, and they usually carry disguised knives when they travel, and often pretend to be police officers to contact people to inquire about information. All citizens are now ordered to report to the police immediately if they see a suspicious person who meets the above characteristics. If it is found that a private person has voluntarily harbored, harbored, or cooperated with the organization, he or she shall be immediately fined 20 yen and detained for not less than 15 days, and the specific punishment shall be punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances. It is hereby warned that serious obstruction of public order can be directly punished without prosecution, and I hope that the majority of citizens will be blessed with divine grace, do not make mistakes with themselves, and strictly abide by the laws of the empire. ”

"In addition, if any member of the organization repents and voluntarily surrenders to the police and provides information, he will be given preferential treatment and given a lenient sentence. If there is no serious crime, a cash reward will also be given. ”

"Meiji 42, November 29."

"Statement by the Inspector General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

As soon as Ichiro finished reading, Butterfly Shinobu suddenly snatched the note away.

"It can't be! That's impossible! ”

Her slender arms trembled, her eyes darting over each word, hoping that she had misheard or that Genichiro had mispronounced.

However, if you put it there in black and white, there will be no problem, and there is even the official seal of the Tokyo Police Agency under the date as proof.

After she read it three times, white air overflowed from her mouth and nose, the blue tendons on her forehead immediately burst out uncontrollably, the skin on her face was dyed red with anger, and the hair at the end of purple was windless, obviously angry to the extreme!

"They, how could they do that!"

"Torah—"

She obviously didn't move, but the paper in her hand was torn apart by the invisible air current, "How can they do this!" ”

Then, as if deprived of all strength, she sat down on her knees, tears streaming from her eyes.

"We—we're just trying to help those people......"

Butterfly Shinobu said hoarsely: "Why do they have to stop even this kind of good thing for the benefit of the people, obviously the lord has already given them so much money......

"What do they want?"

[Yes.] 】

Koichiro stared at the statement that was split in half on the ground, a little confused by the police's approach.

[It is impossible for them not to know about the existence of ghosts, what exactly do they want to do when they launch such a ban on the ghost killing team? 】

[Most importantly,] his brows furrowed tightly, "Is it a human or a ghost who issued such an order? 】

He also needs to kill a lot of ghosts to gain skill points.

If it was because he did something similar to the Ghost Slayer that attracted the attention of the government......

With the power of modern weapons, then even if he can summon a hundred grandfathers at once, it is useless, it is not as good as a group of leaderless.

When Ichiro came back to his senses, he found that Kuro was already kneeling beside Butterfly Shinobi, and Butterfly Shinobi's state was a little calmer.

[I have to think of a way to figure things out first, and then solve the police matter......]

[Or, this policeman, just let us do it.] 】
