It was the afternoon of May 11, the day of the dawn.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had just brought Michael's four cats home from the pet store. Speaking of which, this is supposed to be the cats staying in his house temporarily......

Well, seriously, the exact date was completely forgotten. Just remember that it was-

"A few days into school, early April?"

In the living room, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat on the sofa, rubbed the head of Michael lying in his arms, and asked it.

So, the stupid white cat barked incomprehensibly, baring its fangs.

"Meow?"

"Why can't you even remember when you came?"

"Meow."

"Tsk."

Anyway, because the cat can't remember the date, I have to roughly calculate that it came on the 10th.

Looking at it this way, Michael had been living in his house for a whole month, and the three kittens were also full moon.

I have to say it's a bit fast.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed, touching the white cat in his right hand, holding a cat teasing stick that he suddenly bought in a pet store in his left hand, and a small gray ball tied to the end of the stick, under his control, jumped up and down left and right a few centimeters above the ground.

The three kittens on the ground are clumsily chasing the balls with their short limbs.

He doesn't look very smart, stupid.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was staring at the three stupid cute kittens on the ground, suddenly laughed.

I don't know why, at this time, some scenes that can probably be called hentai suddenly popped up in his mind:

From God's point of view, these kittens are playing carefree, and on the other side of the line, their mother-

Meowing humiliatingly in the touch of Tetsufumi Hirakawa for a living.

If it is accompanied by the phrase "Mrs. Cat, you don't want your children to go hungry......

“……”

I have to say that this kind of thinking can no longer be said to be a little perverted, but can be played ten times.

So much so that Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had this thought in his mind, couldn't help but admit that he was a little perverted.

Hurriedly removed his hand from the white cat's soft belly.

After moving away, Michael was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, looked at him with amber eyes in bewilderment, and after a few seconds, stretched out his little white paws to clap his hand, and meowed resentfully, begging him not to leave.

“……”

As it wished, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had no choice but to continue stroking it with his left hand. After being idle for a while, his right hand took out his mobile phone and swiped with miscellaneous things.

However, after swiping for a while, I suddenly felt bored again, so I threw away my phone and was in a daze.

If you just empty the pursuit of killing time and looking at things that you don't know, it is easy to fall into a state of emptiness.

This is especially true after playing with your phone for a long time.

By analogy, it's like ...... Always get tired of eating too many snacks?

I don't know what other people are, but Tetsufumi Hirakawa does.

So, after thinking for a while, Tetsufumi Hirakawa moved the unknown creature curled up in his arms in the shape of a white ball, and took a few steps around the three little short legs on the ground that couldn't climb the sofa - the white Jia Baili fell to the ground because of the unstable center of gravity when he was snatching the cat stick, and his feet were facing the sky.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the study on the second floor.

In the study, six books that I had just bought last night were still stacked on the desk, and they had not yet had time to be placed on the shelves.

He walked over to the desk and pulled out a random one.

[Alexei Fedorovich Karamazov is the third son of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, a landowner in my county......]

- This is the beginning of "The Brothers Karamazov".

[On an unusually hot evening in early July, a young man came out of his room, which he rented from the second landlord in Hutong......]

- This is "Crime and Punishment".

[Avenge my grievances, and I will repay. 】

[Happy families are all similar, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes. 】

- This is "Anna Karenina"

……

After flipping through six books in a row, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly read the beginning, then closed it casually and put it aside.

There are so many things that I can't calm down at all.

Looking up at the window, the sun was not yet set, and the sun shone golden at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Dazzling.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's eyes narrowed slightly.

After standing for a long time, he walked over to the bookshelf and stared at the hundreds of books on it.

After a while, I couldn't find a copy I wanted to read.

was speechless for a while, and the irritability that had been building up in his heart for a long time suddenly broke out at this time - he was with Kuda Moshu before, and the cute female teacher could also let him relax.

Now that I am home and alone, all kinds of worries come up all at once.

About Shiori Shinohara, about Amamiya Night, about cats.

This seminar really made a lot of sense.

It should be said "exposed", exposing a bunch of things.

And these things are more tricky than the other, and it is difficult not to bother them.

After standing in front of the bookshelf for a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa let out a breath, reached out and rubbed his face, barely calming down.

Then he glanced at the titles of the books on the shelves word by word.

"The Unbearable Lightness of Life", "Snow Country", "The Dancing Girl of Izu", "Fine Snow", ...... "Vain Grass: The Abbot"——

The gaze stayed on "Vain Grass".

He pulled the book out.

"Vain Grass" and "The Abbot's Record" are two books, both of which are collections of essays. However, "The Abbot's Record" is too short to be written, so it can only be combined with this "Vain Grass" to form a book.

After Tetsufumi Hirakawa took out the book, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, sat down anywhere, leaned back against the bookshelf, and began to read in the sunlight.

Opened.

[The mighty river is flowing endlessly, but the water that flows is no longer the original water. The silt of the river is overflowing with foam, which rises and disappears one after another, and never lasts for a long time. The same is true of the people and the dwellings of the world. 】

……

[Bored, sitting in front of the inkstone all day long, all the things in my heart, so I wrote by hand, which may be common sense and difficult, indescribable things, and the purpose is crazy. 】

……

[The most confusing person in the world is no more lustful. The heart is foolish to the extreme. 】

Book Bets:

[Kume Immortals, and the people of the prefecture. Go deep into the mountains, learn the immortal method, eat pine leaves, and take shallows. Once in the air and flying over her hometown, the woman will step on the raccoon clothes with her feet, and her shin will be very white, and she will suddenly be dyed with her heart and fall immediately. 】

……

[That's why it is rumored that the elephant can tie the rope with a woman's hair; The flute is made of women's clogs, and the blowing can lead the autumn deer. "The confusion of women, men should be cautious and fearful]

……

I don't know how long it took, but I was silent for a long time, and I read the book quietly until the light was not enough to read the words on the book.

"Smack-"

In the already dim sunlight, fine dust floated in the air, drifting back and forth in the columnar light.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa closed the book.

There is silence in my ears, and everything in my heart is complicated.

When I read the book, whether it was Shiori Shinohara or Amamiya Night, the matter still attached to my heart from time to time, especially Amamiya Night, about the memories that Tetsufumi Hirakawa had always wanted to forget in that hotel room.

As for now—

Of course, the memory remains, however, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has already made up his own mind.

He put the book back on the shelf.

Walked out of the study and down the stairs. Step into the living room, which looks dark at dusk.

He stood at the top of the stairs and looked around, and the sunlight that shone obliquely into the living room stretched the shadows of several lying cats.

At the sound of footsteps, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the side of the cabinet and took out a bag of cat food.

At a glance, there was not much cat food left.

The cat bowl was filled with cat food, and after hearing the sound of food, Michael, who was lying on his stomach, suddenly woke up, looked left and right, and then ran over as if his eyes were bright.

After arriving here, he glanced up at Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who met the look in it, smiled knowingly.

He reached out and touched Michael, who was eating with his head bowed to himself.

After a long time, the empty living room first sounded a long sigh, followed by a whispered voice.

"Although, you've been living for a month, and I'm a little used to you......

"But the best thing to do is to send you away."

"I'm sorry."

Of course, the stupid cat didn't understand these words, and still hummed and ate cat food.

The only thing left of the living room was its voice.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
