As the sun sets, the clouds of twilight fade and fade into gray. The shadows of the trees blown by the evening breeze no longer blurred and became hazy.

Until twilight looms, the street lights come on, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa opens the door of his house.

At the moment when he turned on the entrance light, Michael crouched in front of him unsurprisingly.

"I'm back."

Say a word to it as usual, and then put down the shopping bag on your right hand with a meow.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa has just returned from the supermarket.

After changing his shoes and moving Michael out of the way of his head probing into the shopping bag, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stepped into the hallway and placed the shopping bag on the table.

I went back to my room and changed my clothes - the teacher's uniform was a suit, and it was tiring enough to wear it for a day.

When he came down, he saw that Michael had crawled onto the table, stretched out a paw, and was testing the "clicking" plastic bag.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa reluctantly walked over and hugged it down.

"Good, don't move."

As soon as he let go of his hand, Michael ran away and jumped into the living room.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't care about it, went to the kitchen, filled the rice cooker with rice for one person, turned on the faucet, inserted his palm into the water, and turned out a clockwise whirlpool.

After washing the rice, shake the water in your hands, turn on the rice cooker, and press the rice cooking button.

After that, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the dining table, took a bottle of Coke from his shopping bag, and unscrewed it and took a sip as he walked to the living room.

went to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and the soft sofa bounced several times, so—

"Meow—"

In the panic of the cat's meow, Michael, who was lying next to him squinting, was suddenly bounced up, lifted a few centimeters into the air, and fell back to the sofa, turning his head to look around in a daze.

"Huh."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had a Coke in his hand and was about to take a sip when he couldn't help laughing.

The stupid white cat was not good enough to understand that he was the culprit, and when she heard his voice, she turned to look at him, and then ran over and lay on his lap.

"Meow."

It's like telling that it has just been hit by an inexplicable earthquake, and it is frightened and begging for comfort.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa continued to smile and take a sip of Coke, put the cap on the bottle, and put it on the coffee table.

Then, with his left hand, which was wet with water condensed from the iced Coke bottle, he rubbed the white cat's head and rubbed the water on its head.

The white cat shook its head dissatisfiedly and changed its position.

Tetsufumi Hiragawa had already wiped his hands and landed on its soft back.

"It's actually nice to have you stay."

Following Michael's hair, the smile on his lips still remained, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed in a low voice.

After that, his thoughts began to drift along Michael's cat.

He thought of Amamiya Ye again, the second middle school girl.

A few days ago, he was sitting here in a conversation at home, listening to Amamiya say to him:

"Mr. Hirakawa, you are the only person you connect with. If you think this body can't come here, then this body has nowhere to go. ”

"After all, even in the home of the present body, this body cannot appear."

It's a problem girl.

And this problem girl also regarded him as the only "link", believing that he, the teacher, was the only one who could listen to her.

The only such word is too heavy.

It was so heavy that the "no" in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's throat couldn't be spoken.

It was so heavy that he thought it would be a sin if he refused.

Eventually, in silence, he agreed to Amamiyaya's request.

In this way, there was no need for Michael to send him away.

Speaking of which, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked into the corner of the living room, where there was Michael's cat nest, a larger box.

It has been temporarily raised before, and there is no need to buy a cat nest for it, but now that it has completely settled, can it be changed to a better nest?

Thinking of this, Michael in his arms twisted his body.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked down at it, his left hand, which had stopped at ethereal thoughts, moved again.

Then, in the midst of its lazy cat meows, it regained its attention.

However, this time, my thoughts jumped to Shiori Shinohara.

This eldest lady deserves to be the eldest lady.

Thinking of the "threat" of this eldest lady just after school, if he is lazy and replace, Hirakawa Tetsufumi is a little crying and laughing.

But in fact, it can be seen that unlike the threat at the beginning, now, the threat of this eldest lady is indeed just a joke.

This is because the student said, "No matter what happens in the future, my respect for Mr. Hirakawa will never change." ”

When he came into contact with the unusually serious gaze in her eyes, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did have a sense of relief that spontaneously arose.

As a teacher, being recognized by students is probably the most enjoyable thing in teaching.

Moreover, from this point of view, the previous messy ideas are really just nonsense.

The eldest lady's closeness to him was based on the respect he had for helping her at the risk of losing his job.

Respect and liking should be two emotions, right?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa felt a little guilty about his bad thoughts before.

But it was only a few seconds of guilt.

After a few seconds, the matter of the wind club took over his mind.

Shiori Shinohara said that there is a problem with the wind club again.

Although I don't know what the problem is, I have to say that the Moriya Wind Club is really "unlucky and ill-fated".

On the weekend after the midterm exam, the wind club has to make up for the lack of practice time due to the half-term exam.

So I'm afraid I'm going to be busy again this weekend.

However, as Miss Shinohara-sama said, let's take it as "making up for it", after all, I haven't been there for a long time.

……

In this way, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat on the sofa, divergent thinking, and sorted out the next things.

I played with my phone again and swiped the YouTube video.

After the rice cooker "dripped" and indicated that the meal was ready, he carried the sleeping Michael to the side and got up to cook in the kitchen.

When the cooking is done, several steaming dishes are put on the table.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought of something, took a photo, and sent it to Akaki Kuda through LINE.

Hirakawa: Mr. Kuda, this is what I cook.

Then halfway through dinner, I received a message from Maki Kuda.

Jasmine Kuda: Eh......

Maki Kuda: It turns out that Hirakawa-sensei is ready to lose?

Hirakawa: ......

Hirakawa: Just to show Mr. Kuda!

Hirakawa: It's impossible to lose.

Kuda Moshu: Well, okay, I'm ready to taste Hirakawa-sensei's cooking.

“……”

Hey, I'd like to take a closer look at what other people have sent.

Obviously he was just going to show off, but he was provoked.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the phone screen and pouted dissatisfiedly.

"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.
