Grandma Shenna had never met Giyuu before, and when she saw Xinjiu talking to him familiarly, she asked, "Is this your fiancé?"

Xinjiu quickly waved his hand: "No, no—it's just a classmate, a classmate who came out to study the subject together."

"That's it," Grandma Kanna looked regretfully at Yiyong, then at the new wine, and said, "It's a pity...it looks very suitable. The hair color is the same, the height difference is just half a head, and the age is about the same, how suitable it is." Get married."

Xinjiu had an awkward yet polite smile on his face—at a time like this, all he had to do was smile, because no matter what he said, it would be embarrassing. What if the boy from Tomioka had a sweetheart?

But at this time, Giyuu took Granny Kanna's words seriously: "I will grow taller soon, and next year my height will not be suitable."

Grandma Kanna/New Wine: "..."

Well, at least he didn't cut the wooden statue of the fox fairy empress face to face, avoiding the danger of being kicked out by Grandma Shenna.

Xinjiu unconsciously lowered his demands on Giyuu, pretending nothing happened, and talked to Granny Kanna about other things: "Grandma, can you wrap me a portion of each of the different flavors of candies in the shop?"

Granny Kanna came to her senses—she glared at Yiyong with the look of looking at a heartless man, and then looked at Xinjiu lovingly: "Of course, but remember not to be greedy, eating too much candy can easily cause toothache."

Xinjiu nodded with a smile.Of course she wasn't worried about toothache, since it wasn't her eating anyway.Qi Mu has eaten coffee jelly and various desserts for so many years, isn't it good to have white teeth?So Xinjiu is not worried at all.

However, there are indeed many types of sugar cakes in the shop, and there are at least 20 packages after all are packed.After paying for the new wine, he picked up the sugar cake and left the shop with Yiyong.

Not long after he walked out, Yiyong rarely took the initiative to speak: "That wooden statue is wrong."

Is it a wooden statue?

Xinjiu tried his best to recall, the wooden statue was not carved exquisitely, except for the old and depressing red silk cloth on the wooden statue, Xinjiu really didn't find anything special about it.She took out the map from her pocket, and drew a red circle on the candy shop: "Well... circle it first, and take a look at it if you have a chance at night."

"Let's go to another place next time!"

The village is not too big, and Granny Kanna's candy store is near the entrance of the village, very close to her home.This is also the reason why Xinjiu stayed at Grandma Kanna's house, because Grandma Kanna was the first person she met after entering the village.

In addition to the candy store, the more iconic places are Kawakami's grocery store, the old-fashioned train station that has not been used for a long time, and the lumberyard near the mountains.

Xinjiu studied the route and said, "It would be a waste of manpower for two people to act together. Let's split up. It's daytime anyway, and ghosts won't jump out suddenly."

"I'll go to the grocery store and the lumberyard to find out if any strange things have happened in the village recently, and the train station will trouble Tomioka-kun."

Tomioka Giyong is not good at dealing with people, so Xinjiu intentionally handed over the deserted train station to him to investigate.Yiyong had no objection either, the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the village at noon, and then they separated.

Xinjiu went to the grocery store first - I don't know if it was because she came at an untimely time, the store was very deserted and there was no one there.There was only a young boy sleeping on his stomach behind the counter.

New Wine walked around the store, and she took a box of ceramic doll ornaments carved into the shape of a fox from the shelf, and finally stopped in front of the counter and knocked on the counter: "Young man, young man! Wake up - don't sleep, there is business coming La!"

The boy was startled, rubbed his eyes and raised his head, there was still a red mark on the side of his cheek.He stared blankly at the new wine, and it took him three seconds to react: "I'm sorry——I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what do you need?"

Xinjiu pointed to the ornament he just took: "I want to buy this, please pay me the bill."

"Oh, this... this decoration?"

Looking at the decorations picked out by the new wine, the boy lazily lay back and said, "That's not expensive, just five dollars will be enough!"

In the Taisho era, 1 yen could cover the food expenses of an adult for a month. In addition, the village itself is relatively remote, so its prices will not be too high.

After paying for the new wine, he rubbed the fox ornaments pretending to be novel, and said: "I found that there are many statues of foxes here, and the gods everyone believes in seem to be fox fairies... Is there any legend in it?"

The same village is always the place where gossip spreads the fastest. The story of a passing female student borrowed from Grandma Kanna's house has spread throughout the village as early as this morning.The young man had obviously heard about this, and combined with Xin Jiu's Demon Slayer Squad uniform, he easily guessed the other party's identity.

Holding his chin, he still looked lazily: "Miss, are you a foreigner?"

"There are no legends, everyone just did this to please Empress Fox Immortal."

When talking about Empress Fox Immortal, the young man didn't have the fanaticism on the faces of those villagers.On the contrary, the emotion expressed on the boy's face was closer to fear, or disgust.

After saying this, the boy refused to say any more.Xinjiu couldn't ask for anything else, so he had to leave the grocery store for the time being.

After throwing the newly purchased fox ornament into the system backpack, Xinjiu followed the directions on the map and continued to the lumberyard.

The logging camp is close to the mountains, and there are fewer residents living nearby.When the new wine arrived, I found that there was no one in the lumberyard, only a few middle-aged men were overhauling the machines, and there were many young girls in the temporary rest shed next to them, chatting in a group talking about something.

Xinjiu walked to the simple rest shed and greeted the girls: "Good afternoon, everyone—may I come in and take a rest?"

She has a face full of affinity, and the way she smiles is particularly lovable.Several girls quickly gave her an empty seat: "I don't mind, please sit down!"

"That's disturbing."

Xinjiu walked in with a smile and sat down, took out the candy cake he had just bought and put it on the table: "This is the candy cake I just bought, if you don't mind, you can eat it."

"Hey? Why is this so embarrassing?"

The girls looked left and right, clearly wanting to eat in their eyes, but they were all scrupulous, not daring to be the first to speak; after all, they were not familiar with Xinjiu, so it would be impolite to eat her food hastily.

Xinjiu pretended to take out a pen and paper, and said, "It's not free for you to eat—you should also know that I am here mainly to give a project report and study the local customs and customs."

"So I hope you can tell me some customs or sacrifices in your village that are different from other villages in detail. These candies are considered as rewards."

"This……"

Several girls looked at each other in dismay—one of them, who looked like she was only eight or nine years old, mustered up the courage to speak first: "In terms of customs... our village does have some customs that are different from those of other villages. The village chief We are never allowed to go outside after dark, no matter what the reason is. The village chief said that there will be monsters haunting at night, and if we go out at night, we will be caught by monsters."

"But if you're a boy, there's no problem, monsters don't eat boys."

Are monsters still engaging in sexism these days?

Xinjiu complained secretly in his heart—there were too many flaws in this setting, and the fact that he was not allowed to go out at night, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he had something to do with evil spirits.

Unwrapping a bag of sugar cakes and pushing it in front of the little girl with younger sister, Xinjiu gave her an encouraging smile: "Then who is your village chief? And where did you come up with the saying that girls going out at night will cause disasters?" ?”

Seeing that the little girl got the sugar cake easily, the girl next to her couldn't hold back and answered Xinjiu first: "Our village head is Grandma Shenna!"

"Before, there were people who didn't listen to Granny Kanna's words, went out at night, and finally disappeared!"

Xinjiu immediately grasped the point, and continued to ask: "Have any girls disappeared?"

The little girl nodded, with a bit of fear on her face: "There are quite a few...but it's their fault. If you listen to Grandma Shenna, you won't be captured by monsters!"

Several other girls nodded in agreement with her.Xinjiu unwrapped the sugar cake and pushed it to the girls, and at the same time stuffed a piece into his own mouth: Indeed, if you don't go out at night, you can avoid the chance of becoming the target of evil spirits.But according to the settings given by the previous system, even if they hide at home, evil spirits can still break in.

The only things that can really harm evil spirits are wisteria flowers and sunlight.

But Xinjiu had been in the village for two days, yet he had not even seen a single wisteria flower.

She thought for a moment and asked the girls: "Are only girls in your village disappearing at night? Are the boys all right?"

"Of course it's okay!" The girl chewing on the pastry mumbled, "Monsters don't eat men."

"However, it doesn't mean that boys are safe."

The girl next to him added: "Someone angered Empress Fox Immortal before, and Empress Fox Immortal refused to protect us. Many uncles who went to the mountain to chop firewood had accidents."

"Can that be the same?"

Another girl curled her lips and said, "That's the punishment they deserve for angering Empress Fox Immortal!"

The person who had an accident in the mountains?

Evil ghosts cannot see the light, and the person who had an accident on the mountain was probably eaten by the evil ghosts!Then the fox fairy's statement should be made by the mother-in-law Shenna after those who went up the mountain were eaten by ghosts-the old man is more superstitious, and this time the accidents were all men, so it seems that there is a reason to prohibit girls from going out at night reason.

Xinjiu thought about it, and asked the girls who the accident happened on the mountain.To Xinjiu's surprise, the leader of the logging team that had an accident on the mountain happened to be the second son of the Kawakami family, that is, the father of the boy who was watching the shop at the Kawakami grocery store.

After saying goodbye to those girls, Xinjiu returned to the entrance of the village according to her agreement with Yiyong.

Giyuu arrived earlier than Xinjiu, and the two exchanged information - there were indeed traces of ghost activities at the old station, and there were even a lot of traces of blood and fighting. Giyuu even found other members of the ghost killing team in some places. Pieces of clothing.

But the strange thing is that he didn't find the ghost's hiding place; the other party seemed to just stay in the old station for a short time and left soon.

Xin Jiu simply sat down on the rock behind the village, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and began to list the information obtained by both parties on it.

There were traces of ghost activities in the old station (confirmed that ghosts existed in the village and ate people)

A group of loggers (suspected to have been eaten by ghosts) disappeared on the mountain near the lumberyard - there may have been ghosts on the mountain.

The god statue enshrined in the pastry shop of Grandma Kanna has a strange smell (maybe related to ghosts)

The father of the boy on Kawakami was the captain of the lumberjack, and he died on the mountain after doing something that angered the fox fairy (villager superstition), so the boy on Kawakami had a bad sense of the fox fairy.

Girls who go out at night have been eaten (probably by ghosts)

Grandma Kanna forbids girls to go out at night

"what are you writing?"

Yiyong squatted next to Xinjiu, and Xinjiu was stunned to see something from his expressionless face - implicit curiosity.Thanks to Qi Mu, who rarely has facial expressions no matter what he does, Xinjiu can now communicate with any facial paralyzed person without any pressure and quickly capture their weak emotional fluctuations.

Xinjiu tapped the notebook with the tip of a pen, and said, "Summary information——wait!"

She suddenly realized a very serious problem: she was transferred from a different plane. Before coming to this plane, she had already completed nine years of compulsory education, and she was relying on the face of a female high school student. In order to continue to mix in the new force of the Ghost Killing Squad - but Yiyong is not!

Xinjiu looked at Yiyong and asked, "Mr. Tomioka, how old are you?"

Yi Yong thought for a while: "Sixteen."

Xinjiu fell silent.

16 years old - Yiyong now has a saber, and he is definitely not a player in the same class as Zhenmu.Fujishiyama is selected once every three years. Going forward, Giyuu should have participated in the selection when he was around 13 years old.Before participating in the selection, I must have been practicing swordsmanship all the time...

After hesitating for a moment, Xinjiu raised his notebook, facing Yiyong, and said seriously: "Mr. Tomioka, can you understand what I wrote?"

Yi Yong shook his head.

The new wine is clear—come on!This is an out-of-school child who was harmed by ghosts! At the age of 16, if there are no ghosts, what grade should I go to?Grade three or grade one?Ah no, if you are in Japan, you should go to junior high school.

Slowly putting down the notebook, Xinjiu sighed.Yiyong looked at her in confusion: "Is what is written on it important?"

In the Ghost Killing Squad, apart from doing missions and honing his sword skills, Yiyong never wastes extra time on other things.Even rest is not a necessity, let alone reading and writing-in fact, most members of the Ghost Killing Squad are semi-literate, and being able to write their own names is considered highly educated.

Usually due to task requirements, most of the commonly used characters are recognized, but a little more complicated: for example, Yoshiyuki can only understand a little bit of Japanese written densely on paper.

"It's not important." Xinjiu quickly tore off the piece of paper, and switched to drawing a picture—although it's a bit ugly, but it's easier to understand: "I summarized all the information we collected, which is more convenient We intuitively found their connection."

"Go to the mountain where the logging team disappeared in the afternoon to investigate. There may be traces left by ghosts there."
