Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

When she left Yokohama, Zhenxiang didn't choose a destination.

At that time, she simply wanted to take the two bodyguards for a walk in the mountains and forests, get in touch with each other, get to know each other, and enhance their relationship with each other.

We have just met each other, and we are not sure about each other's temper, hobbies, bad habits, etc. It is difficult to confirm whether this "double bodyguard" model is suitable or not.If you don't actually try it, you really don't know whether it's "threesomes are fun" or "threesomes are annoying to see everyone".

Before setting off, Zhenxiang specially took two Japanese knives to the two bodyguards respectively, and introduced the basic setting that ghosts need to beheaded with Japanese knives before they die, and also slightly improved the breathing technique mastered by the ghost killing team. And, but neither Sakunosuke nor Kagura seemed very interested.

After that, I suddenly decided to go to Natian Spider Mountain because I heard a rumor: There are terrible tigers wandering there, cruelly devouring the passing humans every night, and there is not even a single bone left of the dead.

Zhenxiang thinks that tigers can't eat all the bones when they cannibalize people. In fact, most wild animals cannibalize people without bones, so they speculate that this is the work of ghosts.

It seems a little clever for ghosts to eat people and pretend to be tigers to eat people in order to deceive people.Therefore, it should be a ghost who knows some vampire techniques but has limited strength.

This is a good way to test the bodyguard's ability. If you lose your game, call the system for help, and then dismiss the bodyguard.If the bodyguard performs well, then take advantage of the trend and let the bodyguard become a regular from the internship period.It doesn't hurt anyway.

With this calculation in mind, Zhenxiang set the Tian Spider Mountain as the target location.

On the fourth day, when they arrived at the foot of the destination, the relevant rumors they could hear had become very outrageous:

The spiders in Natian Zhizhu Mountain acted as minions for the tigers, and regarded the new evil tigers as their lords. Every night, they would be driven by the evil tigers in groups, dancing like tides in the dense forest under the moon, and using the humans they caught The evil tiger is happy.

Generally speaking, the degree of exaggeration of a rumor is inversely proportional to the degree of proximity to the source of the rumor.The closer one gets to the source, the more realistic the rumors one hears.Conversely, the farther it spreads, the more the rumors will be fueled.

When we arrived at Natian Spider Mountain, the situation seemed to be reversed, and such outrageous rumors appeared in such a close place.

Zhenxiang didn't think she made an empirical mistake, so she began to suspect that the situation at Natian Spider Mountain was more complicated than imagined.

The time is still daytime, so take a few steps inside to see the situation, the danger is relatively small.

In this way, the three of them walked together for a short distance, and Kagura was bitten by a spider.

Natian Spider Mountain is indeed a lonely mountain named after spiders. The concentration of spiders here is simply amazing. Large and small spider webs are intertwined among the trees. There are always sparse movements of spiders in the ears, floating in the air. Bad smell.

No matter what kind of animal it is, flooding in a place will cause corresponding ecological problems. For example, in Natian Spider Mountain, there is no bird chirping at all, and the rumored roar of the vicious tiger does not exist.

For the sake of caution, Zhenxiang thought it would be better to leave temporarily. Before the night came, she planned to find an opportunity to use the stealth card to get in and observe, and then decide whether to use this place as a testing ground for the bodyguard's ability.

"Kagura, don't put spiders in your mouth, it's unhygienic."

Zhenxiang was startled by the sound of Sakunosuke's reminder. She hurried to see Kagura, and found that the brat was probably trying to get revenge on the spider for biting her.

"..." Faced with this scene, Zhenxiang couldn't think of any more gentle lines. She was really afraid that she would just spit out a joke and ruin the image of the main character.

[Hahaha Kagura is such a bad temper! ] But the system also likes it very much.

If it had been earlier years, Zhenxiang would have praised the stinky feet of the system against her conscience, saying something like "Kagura is really a vengeful and cruel person!" It's like a tiger with wings added." Crazy words like that.

But now, Zhenxiang is happy to point out the truth in her eyes: [Is this unlucky child hungry again? ]

[Simple hunger is not a reason for people to eat spiders. ] The system expressed dissatisfaction.

Zhenxiang thinks this is true. For example, if she is very hungry, she would rather chew on the bark than put a spider in her mouth.Not to mention health issues, psychological barriers are difficult to overcome.

The system excitedly added: [Spiders are so cute, why do you eat them? ]

Zhenxiang was silent for a moment, and persuaded: [System, please don't say that, you are the cutest in my eyes. ]

Regardless of the actual situation, Zhenxiang thought that Kagura should not be allowed to eat casually. Seeing that Sakunosuke temporarily controlled Kagura, Zhenxiang ordered: "Let's go out first and go to a nearby village for dinner."

The three of them turned around and walked back. As they walked, they found a young man fell down on the road. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in tatters and thin. It's a big section, like a trendy hairstyle that ordinary people can't get.

Odasaku approached first and patted the boy on the shoulder slightly.

The young man woke up in a daze, muttered with vain eyes: "Robbery..." and then passed out again.

So he was robbed?

"Like starving."

"Then take him to dinner."

Zhenxiang didn't just show kindness casually, she thought that since the young man fell on the spider mountain in that field, she might be able to ask some information directly.

after a while……

Zhenxiang stared at the teenagers and girls who were competing for the big stomach king together, without any fluctuations in her heart, and she didn't even want to laugh at all.

Empty bowls were stacked one after another on the table in front of them, and the expressions of the villagers entertaining a few people were not quite right, so they didn't say much because they really had money to make.

After just experiencing the repeated tragedy of facial paralysis in Yokohama, the latest trend seems to be the reincarnation of the starving ghost. I don’t know what will be popular next time. Maybe it’s bandages?

In short, although she pretended to be indifferent, in fact Zhenxiang was very concerned about the villagers' sneaky glances, so she couldn't help pulling the scarf that covered half of her face over the bridge of her nose.

The scarf is currently used as a substitute for the system mask, blocking part of the real appearance.In fact, the cooling time required for the system mask is almost over, but Zhenxiang does not plan to take it out for the time being——

The leader knows the miraculous face-changing technique, which is still a secret for the time being.

"Huh—I'm full! I don't want to see ochazuke for ten years!" The boy finally lost a little in the big stomach king competition, and stopped eating before Kagura.

He was obviously full of food, with a happy expression on his face, and after he slowed down, he began to thank you sincerely: "Thank you so much! I haven't had a decent meal these days, and I almost died by the side of the road. I robbed you, but you kindly rescued me from the spider mountain in that field and gave me a full stomach, you are really good people."

Um?So that's what you meant by "robbery" you muttered at the time?

Zhenxiang wanted to complain a little, but there is absolutely no reason in this world for a leader to be a slave to complain, so she just said to the system in her mind: [This kid is frustrated. ]

[I think so. ]

"We repay you with kindness, and you only have one word 'thank you'?" Kagura sneered and put down the tableware, "Boy, if thank you is useful, what do you need the Ghost Killing Squad for?"

[The term "repaying virtue with grievances" is just the opposite, shouldn't it be "repaying grievances with virtue"?And don't blame the Ghost Slayer Squad for everything! ]

The system did not acknowledge Zhenxiang's complaint, but sharply pointed out: [From our standpoint, wouldn't it be good for Kagura to blame the Demon Slayer Team? ]

Zhenxiang thought about it and found that it was true, so she decided to keep calm and see how Kagura performed.

The young man who had just had his full meal moved slowly, and was easily pressed on the chair by Kagura, unable to move, showing a pitiful and helpless expression.

Kagura was like a thug belonging to the underworld forces, and said to the young man in a vicious voice: "What's your name? Where did you come from? What's the purpose of appearing here?"

I don’t know if Kagura’s acting skills are too good. The young man was completely frightened, and responded quickly with special cooperation: "My name is Atsushi Nakajima. I was kicked out of an orphanage. I have no food and no place to live, so I can only wander. , I really have no purpose, I only know that there is a vicious tiger chasing me all the time!"

Has been tracked by the evil tiger?Is it the one in the rumors?

"Kicked out of the orphanage?" Kagura stared at the boy sharply, "Didn't you steal someone else's treasure?"

Can you ask the point Kagura?And do you have to make trouble with other people's babies?

The young man waved his hands in a panic, "No, I didn't! It was Mr. Dean who said that the business was difficult and that the scale had to be reduced. That's why he kicked me out!"

"Really? You were the only one driven away? Didn't you drive away the other children?"

"Only...Only me..."

Zhenxiang was a little annoyed, the sun was setting, and it was almost night, but she never found a chance to sneak into the mountains during the day, but she still had to sit here and listen to the boring interrogation, she really didn't know the point.

Who cares why the orphanage drives away a child alone?

She turned her head to look at Sakunosuke, who had been silent all this time, and gave him a wink, hoping that Sakunosuke would stand up and take care of things.

"Ah." Sakunosuke received the gaze, but he didn't seem to be able to understand the meaning.

He has worked hard to comprehend the spirit of his superiors, but obviously he is still inexperienced, unable to understand the meaning of the superior, and instead thinks that he is asked to speak for Kagura.

He said dryly: "Atsushi Nakajima, let me call you Nakajima. No orphanage will drive away a single child for this reason. If it is poorly managed, it will usually choose to drive away half of the children, or announce its dissolution." .”

Atsushi Nakajima was sweating profusely, he was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

He is telling the truth!Why don't everyone believe it!

Zhenxiang almost wanted to hold her forehead and sigh.

Sure enough, she should not make things difficult for herself, the naive idea of ​​training bodyguards to be spokespersons should not have arisen in the first place.

She walked up to Atsushi Nakajima and gently took his hand: "Atsushi, don't be afraid, I believe in you."

As soon as the expert opens his mouth, he will know whether there is one.Atsushi Nakajima instantly felt himself light and light, and the boy with the scarf covering his face shone like an angel in front of him.

Feeling the warmth from his hands, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help stammering: "You...you are?" He subconsciously used honorifics to a boy younger than himself.

Zhenxiang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for us to reveal our identities to outsiders. In fact, the three of us belong to the ghost killing team. We came here for the rumored Evil Tiger. If you know something about Evil Tiger, please tell us .”

"Are you looking for the evil tiger?" Atsushi Nakajima, who had just relaxed a little, immediately became nervous again, and subconsciously let go of Zhenxiang's hand.

"Yes, we are looking for the evil tiger, in order to get rid of it." Zhenxiang nodded.

"Squeak!" This was the sound of Atsushi Nakajima backing up and almost turning over the stool.

His face changed on the spot, as if he had heard the most terrifying thing in his life, so he couldn't control himself, his limbs had difficulty coordinating, and he fell to the ground.

"I... I bid farewell!"

He staggered on all fours and ran out on the ground, his posture ridiculously embarrassing, and when he reached the door, he knocked his head hard, and then swayed like a penguin walking and fled desperately.

This timid and cowardly posture is really amazing, and it is a vivid interpretation of the appearance of the mouse frightened by the cat.

Zhenxiang couldn't help sighing again: [This kid is really frustrated. ]

[I think so. ]

Zhenxiang decides to give up her affection for Atsushi Nakajima, then it's time to find out (physics) about it.

"Sakunosuke, Kagura, please bring Atsushi back." She said in a gentle tone, "It's dark outside and it's not safe, you can't let him run around, so just tie him up with a rope."
