My tenants are monsters

After a pause, the female police officer added: "Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious. After all, Miss Mimiko is my nearest neighbor besides Xiao Lin..."

"This one……"

Rin Shiraishi thought about his words, and slowly responded: "I don't know much about Ms. Mimiko's family situation, maybe it's not a good relationship. As for her personality, she likes to draw manga, and spends most of her time on I have entered the world of comics, so I may not have so much enthusiasm for the real world, so please don’t mind sister Shimoshima.”

"Hey, Ms. Mimiko is actually a cartoonist. What works has she completed?"

"...I don't know."

Shiraishi Rin really doesn't know the answer to this question.

She has been to 204 a few times, and she has seen the easels that Mimiko placed in the living room with her own eyes, but there are no names written on those paintings, and it is estimated that the eerie style of comics, no matter which platform they are serialized on, is a novel. If you haven't seen all the works, it's impossible to find them based on just a few pictures.

If Mimiko’s possible ghost status is not discussed, then the image of this girl is a bit like the kind that fell out with her family because of her love for comics, and because she insisted on her own unique style, she refused to compromise with the market. So the niche cartoonist who is struggling to make ends meet with low popularity...

Thinking about it carefully, it's amazing that Mimiko can afford the monthly rent. I don't know where she made the money...

"Let's talk about the business first."

Shiraishin cleared his throat and got to the point.

There are two things to say.

The first is Shimoshima Misato's concern, that is, Shiraishi Rin's joining the special class; the second is Shiraishi Rin's concern, about Otowa Gakuen.

——The last time Otowa Gakuen was mentioned was by accident, but this time, Shiraishi Rin has a reason to bring up the old story again.After all, Misato Shimoshima knew about Ogino's mother and daughter both working and going to school at Otowa Gakuen, and it was obvious to all that Shiraishi Rin and the mother and daughter were relatively close. It is also reasonable to ask a few more questions.

"It turns out that Mrs. Ogino and Sachiko are working and studying at Otowa Gakuen... The other department of the special department is responsible for the matter there. I only asked about the general situation once, but it should have nothing to do with them. According to According to the results of the on-site investigation, there is a high probability that Kumamoto was killed by a vengeful spirit, which may be related to the places he has been to recently, or emotional entanglements..."

"Ok?"

"Xiao Rin, you may not know that the guy named Kumamoto was once investigated as a suspect in a disappearance case. The missing person was a convenience store clerk. He was a neighbor who lived in the same block as Kumamoto. It is said that he once had a relationship with him. a period of time……"

"Forehead……"

Shiraishi Rin hesitated for a moment.

She really didn't know about it.

However, it would be a good thing if the eyes of the special class were diverted from her and the Ogino mother and daughter, and looked at Kumamoto's personal relationship.Anyway, there is a high probability that the final result will be nothing...

In terms of [intuition], Rin Shiraishi didn't think that he or Ogino's mother and daughter could be investigated in the special class.

"Oh yes, there is one more thing..."

Shimoshima Misato seemed to have thought of something, and added another sentence: "Among the people involved in the investigation of the Kumamoto incident this time, there seems to be a monk from Sensoji Temple. I finally sent people over... so you can rest assured, the monks in Sensoji Temple are all very powerful exorcists, and they will definitely be able to get to the bottom of the truth investigation."

"Yeah, that's great."

Shiraishi Rin smiled a little guilty.

The issue of Otowa Academy came to an end here, and then the two began to talk about joining the special class.

There is no need to say much about the basic situation of the special class.

In the previous several exchanges and cooperations, Shiraishi Rin has already gained a considerable understanding.

So what I want to talk about this time is something deeper, that is, the specific operation of joining the special class, and the benefits of joining this organization.

For this, Misato Shimoshima had been prepared for a long time, and directly opened a pad and put it on the coffee table: "This document is the matters that need to be paid attention to, and there are also issues about treatment. You can first understand it. If you don't understand You can ask me anytime you want.

If you decide to join, just use it to record your fingerprints and irises. All the entered information will be transmitted to the special department headquarters at Sakurada Gate through encrypted channels. It will not be disclosed to third parties..."

Rin Shiraishi nodded, and while swiping the screen, he asked casually: "If you join the special class, will you be equipped with guns uniformly?"

"?"

Shimoshima Misato was a little surprised by this question, and after thinking about it, she replied:

"Surgical weapons can be equipped, but they need to go through training assessment and application. Because the magical guns used in the special class are manufactured on the basis of ordinary firearms, they can cause damage to sneaks and humans as well, so it is necessary to Just like ordinary firearms, pass the assessment to obtain a gun license to avoid accidentally injuring others..."

After a pause, the policewoman added: "Generally, exorcists with magic skills rarely make such applications, because the exorcism methods in their hands may be more useful. Xiao Lin, do you want to be equipped with a gun? "

"...No, I'm just asking casually."

Volume 126: Chapter [-] Yoshie Ogino's... "Friend"?

Shiraishi Rin shook his head.

indeed.

Although she has never touched a real gun, she still has a bit of common sense. She knows that this thing is not as simple as in the movie. The recoil alone is enough to make most people who touch a gun for the first time completely unable to hit 5. Targets beyond meters, not to mention the more difficult shooting against moving targets, and the problem of ricochets when touching obstacles such as wooden boards...

Even a professionally trained professional policeman like Shimoshima Misato may not have a high hit rate when encountering these situations.

If 100% hits and precise strikes on vital parts can be achieved, even ordinary policemen without spiritual power can theoretically kill ordinary ghosts by themselves.In fact, this is obviously impossible...

So, unless Rin Shiraishi can switch to the [Gun Mastery] skill next time... No, it won't work either.

Because she couldn't explain the source of this skill at all.

It can't be said that this is also learned in West Tama County, right?

Rin Shiraishi first glanced at the content on the tablet and confirmed his guess:

This "temporary worker" mechanism is actually more to ensure that "wild exorcists" without family inheritance can be included in the scope of special courses.Compared with whether to help, the special class is obviously more concerned about whether these exorcists will work with ghosts or make waves in society with their own abilities.

If there are no intentions from these two parties, then the binding force of this agreement is quite weak.

After studying the content of the document from beginning to end and confirming that there were no text traps, Rin Shiraishi followed Misato Shimoshima's instructions and entered the fingerprints and face.

After that, Shimoshima Misato directly handed the pad to her: "You can keep this for yourself, the app with the cross icon on it can be connected to the database of special courses, and you can check most of the special courses. Files of supernatural events that have been dealt with before, and some general information about ghosts and evil things.

However, some events have a relatively high level of confidentiality, and your current authority is not enough. You may need to participate in several retreat operations before you can view them.

In addition, it is best not to disclose the contents of these databases to ordinary people, otherwise it may cause unexpected troubles. This is not a mandatory requirement, but a suggestion and reminder. "

"understood."

Rin Shiraishi tried for a while, and asked Misato Shimoshima a few words during the period. After he roughly figured out the functional composition of this pad, he put it away.

After finishing the business, she should go back by herself.

At the door of 201, Shiraishi Rin said goodbye to Shimoshima Misato, then went back downstairs along the steps with the tablet in her arms.

Before taking out the key to open the door, Rin Shiraishi took a look in the direction of 103, and felt a little light from the crack of the anti-theft door, presumably Ogino and her daughter came back from the outside.

"Would you like to go take a look?"

This thought crossed Baishi Lin's mind, but after thinking about it, he temporarily held back his idea.

In the past few days, she would go to 103 almost every night to ask a few words, and during the day, she frequently contacted Sachiko by mobile phone, so she basically knew the situation of the mother and daughter very well.And from the current conversation, Shimoshima Misato has already given the answer that "the special section has focused the investigation on the convenience store clerk who has been in contact with Kumamoto", so there is no need for her to bother Ogino so frequently Home, always leave a little private space for the mother and daughter.

"It's not too late to go again during the daytime tomorrow..."

With this in mind, Shiraishi Rin went back to her room, got something to fill her stomach, and then took a shower and went to sleep.

It was a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, Shiraishi Rin went out for a short morning run as usual. After breakfast and feeding the cat, he was going to go to the [-]-chome department store to buy some things and come back.

Mainly in terms of ingredients, and the cat food for the three black, white and orange kittens is almost exhausted and needs to be replenished.

A big purchase took two hours.

When Shiraishi Lin came out of the supermarket carrying a bunch of large and small bags of vegetables and fruits, and walked back, he saw that the sky above his head was a bit gloomy, and the sun was also hidden in the gray clouds, as if it was about to rain.

Going back to the door of Shiraishi's apartment, I saw the well-dressed Ogino Yoshie walking outside.

"Hey, Aunt Fanghui, are you going out now?"

Rin Shiraishi paused, looked left and right, lowered his voice and approached and said, "Well, I have already asked my friends in the special class about the matter at Otowa Academy, and I heard that the situation is like this... So, There shouldn't be anything else going on, as long as you and Sachiko keep a low profile these days and don't get noticed by the people in the special class."

Ogino Yoshie listened to her silently and smiled slightly:

"Really, then I am very grateful to Miss Rin."

"Ahem, I didn't do anything actually, and this matter has something to do with me..."

Facing Ogino Yoshie's thanks, Shiraishi Rin responded a little embarrassedly: "It looks like the weather is going to rain now, do you have something urgent to go out to deal with?"

"Yes, a friend came to Tokyo recently, and I don't know the place well, so I'll go visit him."

Ogino Yoshie gestured to the umbrella in her hand, and smiled: "I have prepared the rain gear, it doesn't matter even if it rains... But I am a little worried that Sachiko will not be able to eat well at home by herself, and I will return at noon later." I would like to trouble Miss Rin to take a look. If it rains too much this afternoon and I cannot come back in time, I may need to ask Xiao Lin to take care of Sachiko."

"I will."

Bai Shilin nodded first, and agreed, but there was a slight movement in his heart——

Yoshie Ogino's...

"friend"?

The real identity of this single mother is a cat, so is the friend she mentioned a human being or another cat?Is there a saying among ghosts and ghosts about making friends and visiting relatives?

Although he was a bit puzzled, seeing Yoshie Ogino's understated tone, Rin Shiraishi couldn't go any further. After asking the latter politely if he needed help, he returned to the apartment building with his things.Put the ingredients in the refrigerator first, and then tidy up the room. When it was approaching, I heard rumbling thunder coming from outside.

After a while, there was a heavy patter of rain.

The white rain curtain quickly formed a piece between the sky and the earth, and the visibility outside the window dropped rapidly.

It's raining.

DAY 127: Chapter [-] The Rainstorm

Probably because it was sunny for half a month ahead, the rain this time was particularly heavy.

Accompanied by the sound of crackling and knocking on the window glass, groups of black clouds gathered in the high sky. Even though the curtains had been closed beforehand, Shiraishi Rin still felt a gust of cold wind coming in through the gap of the window, making the room full of air. A damp steam.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the sound of the slightly cold wind swirling in the corridor of the apartment.

Bai Shilin closed the doors and windows, wiped the water droplets splashed on the window sill with a rag, and looked out through the glass.

Fortunately, this rain did not fall in the previous few days, otherwise the campus festival attached to the University of Tsukuba might be affected.And now, anyway, the festival is over, and there is no class on the weekend, so there is nothing wrong with a little rain, and it will help you sleep... This kind of weather is the most suitable for sleeping.

But it's a little early for nap time now.

Taking a look at the time, it was already 11:30, Shiraishi Rin opened the door and went to 103.

Sachiko quickly opened the door from the inside: "Hey, it's sister Rin!"

"It's me, your mother is not at home right now, do you want to eat at my place?"

"Okay!"
