I am also taking care of a child for the first time (although only physically), and I don't know what he needs at all.Standing in front of the gate of the store, instead of going to the clothing store, I went to the bookstore first and picked related books from the shelves, but most of them were related to mothers and babies, or how to cultivate children's interests, or how to improve children's grades However, there are very few books related to family communication.

"It seems that parents want to raise their children into what they expect rather than dealing with their children." I put the useless books back on the bookshelf and sighed in a low voice.

My wish is very simple. Since the government does not require me to become a god judge, I only hope that Jin Jian will stay with me to cultivate his spirit. For him, this may be a rare long vacation.

"Holidays... What should I do during the holidays?" I thought unconsciously.

[My lord? ] Jin Jian's voice came from beside him, 【Is there anything bothering you? 】

I subconsciously looked up and looked around, except for the customers looking down for books in the bookstore, there was no sign of him.

"... Jinjian?" In order to avoid being viewed with strange eyes, I lowered my voice and called his name.

The voice of the little dagger resounded happily from his head again.

【It's me, my lord~ As long as I spend a little bit of spiritual power, I can talk to my lord like this! 】

Didn't Mr. Cat say that Jin Jian's spiritual power reserve is insufficient?

"Jianjian, you don't have enough spiritual power left in your body now... Talking to me needs to consume power, right? Won't it affect you?"

【it does not matter!It doesn't need to consume too much power just to talk to the lord, not to mention that the lord will take me to unlock the seal soon, so there is no need to save my spiritual power! 】

Previously, he only kept his body and stayed with me, and did not take the initiative to communicate with me. Presumably, he was worried about the lack of spiritual power.But today, Imai heard the conversation between me and Tanuma, so he knew that he would be able to undo the seal soon and return to his original state.

"That's not bad. I'm going to buy clothes for you later. If I can communicate with you, I won't worry about buying clothes you don't like." I'm not good at guessing other people's preferences, let alone me I have almost no chance to get along with Imai, and I have no way to find out his preferences. Since we will live together in the future, I still want him to leave a good impression on me.

His voice is always brisk and lively, full of a kind of childish romance that is insulated from me: [There is no such thing ~ as long as it is given to me by the lord, I like it! 】

I can't help but think how intriguing it is that a sword that has been sharpened for thousands of years has a human appearance and a human heart. He has a kind of purity that human beings pursue all their lives, and human beings who are easily polluted by the world. A decidedly different purity.

Moved by his innocent words, I deliberately asked jokingly: "Then what if I give you a skirt?"

【Well...if this is the request of the lord...】

I have already imagined his contradictory and cute expression when he frowns but wants to fulfill my wish.

"Don't worry, I won't buy you a dress." I said, "Is there anything Imaken wants to do after breaking the seal?"

He answered without any hesitation, 【As long as you can stay with the lord all the time, everything is fine——】

"En..." I thought about it, and when Jinjian's seal was released, his long vacation would officially begin.

Then again, what do human children do on long vacations?

——Go to the mountains with friends to catch bugs, spend a whole summer doing insect observation, or go to the beach to swim and get tanned by the sun, or go to the mountains for a picnic. If you are interested, have a fun with your friends Test your guts.Go to the summer temple fair, and watch the bearers of the miraculous sedan chair carry their sedan chairs in a procession amidst the roar of people.

Either way, I want him to experience it.

As a sword, although it is a sharp weapon, but after coming to the world for a while and turning into a human form again, if you can taste the ups and downs, you must at least appreciate the beauty and happiness created by human beings, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss?

On the other hand, considering the nature of the sword as a weapon, I am not a judge who can make him realize his desire to fight. It is too wronged him to let him suppress his nature with me all the time, so I suggested:

"The family where I live temporarily has a dojo, and I can also learn from the disciples of the dojo today." With me now, there are very few things I can do for him, "After all, I don't know anything about fighting. , Keeping you by my side will only make you rust in vain."

【...There is no such thing, my lord. 】

I don't think Jinjian needs to call me Lord Lord. On the one hand, I don't think I'm his master. On the other hand, when he can transform into a human form, it's not appropriate to call me that in front of outsiders, but I know I can't Instill all these thoughts into him in one breath, or I will discuss it with him slowly when it is convenient for him.

After leaving the bookstore, I headed straight to the clothing store—the children's clothing section, of course.When Imaken showed his figure in front of me earlier, I took a rough look at him. He is a medium-to-slim figure, and the size of the clothes is relatively easy to buy. The Fusangshen of the sword probably won't grow fast like a human child. Clothes have to be bought one size up.If you buy it for Jinjian, you only need to consider whether it looks good or not and is convenient for activities.

It's just that I have no experience in buying children's clothing. Although I have a plan in mind, it is very difficult to implement it. I was picking and choosing on the hangers, but found that I didn't know the size of children's clothing at all.

The conscientious shopping guide lady asked me: "Excuse me, what age do you choose clothes for?"

"...about ten years old?" I'm not sure.

"Is that so. Is it for a friend's child, or a relative's child?"

I think, I look too young, so the shopping guide lady can avoid the option that I am choosing clothes for my own child, because it may be easy to offend others.

At first I wanted to say that Jinjian belonged to my younger brother, but it was a bit awkward, so I changed my mind and said, "It's a child from a relative's family, and he's coming to live with me for a while."

The shopping guide smiled and said, "It seems that you have a good relationship?"

"Well, I like that kid very much."

"Since this is the case, do you want to see parent-child clothes?" She led me to the display rack, and took out three T-shirts from the folded clothes. "It's the family's same printed T-shirt."

The flowers printed on it are different, namely the sun, the moon and the stars.

Three pieces... a family of three, right?Looking at the size, the parents correspond to the sun and the moon, and the children are the stars. The intention is very easy to understand.

I don't know what Jinjian thinks, whether he likes it or not.

In my opinion, parent-child clothing is like a ritual, not only to express to the outside world that "we belong to one country", but also to wear this proud show off with confidence at all times.I mean, I'm envious of that kind of courage, and one day, I hope to have the opportunity to try it too.

"I'll take a look."

The process of choosing clothes was not boring, and Imaken was always talking to me.

[Is this one printed with pumpkins?It's so strange, my lord, but the color is very bright, it must be very conspicuous when worn out. 】

[So pure red, like a ripe apple, I like this color.However, the purple on the side is also very nice. 】

Then buy them all.

I thought, anyway, there must be two or three pieces of clothes for a change of clothes. After the seal is released, we will go to the store to try on the clothes directly.

After wrapping up a few sets of clothes that Jinjian thought were pretty good, the shopping guide lady asked me, "Do you want parent-child outfits?"

I nodded my head erratically.

……

……

"...It's so hot." Walking out of the air-conditioned store, the scorching sun on the top of my head gave me a slap in the face, not to mention that I was still carrying several things in my hands, and the scorching sun was scorching my exposed skin. All I want to do is go back to the cool hotel room to enjoy the cool.

The phone was vibrating, and I opened it to see that it was a message from Natsume.

[Excuse me, a faceless person asked me to pass on his thanks - Miss Inai for helping his men. ]

Looking at this text message, I fell into doubts.

Because my social circle is too small, and I don’t even meet many people every day. After searching, I didn’t think of any good people and deeds I have done recently.

[Although I'm sorry to say that, but... Are you sure it wasn't his mistake?I don't remember helping anyone. ]

"Didi—" the bell rang again.

[Not "human", it's the kid. ]

[picture]

In the photo, a small emerald green frog is standing on a dew-covered lotus leaf.

"..."

Unexpectedly, I rescued a little frog, which turned out to be a monster.

Turning off the phone, I was about to take a step towards the hotel, but was stopped again.

A clean white handkerchief was handed to me, and I looked up along the fair and soft arm. It was a gorgeous female face, wearing a sun-shading flower hat, decorated with cumbersome flowers, and the strong fragrance hit me , mixed with warm air, blending into a weird fragrance.

"You have been standing here, please wipe off your sweat."

Her smile is very polite.

【Master!Stay away from this woman—] Imaiken yelled, eagerly wanting me to leave.

Before I came back to my senses, a woman grabbed my wrist.Her smooth hands without calluses seemed to have infinite power. Her expression was relaxed, and she didn't exert any effort at all, but I felt that the bones were about to be broken.

[My lord!Something about her held me back, and I couldn't get out. 】

"Are you a demon exorcist?" She increased her strength, "Are you here to expel me..."

Enduring the pain, I told the truth: "I think you misunderstood, I don't know how to eliminate demons."

"Liar." She didn't believe me at all, but locked me firmly with her deep black eyes, "You humans say that every time, humans who can control Fusangshen, say they can't eliminate demons? "

"It's just a coincidence." Although I tried my best to justify it, the effect was minimal, and I had no way to prove myself.If he kept repeating these useless words, it might even irritate her.

The monster woman stared at me, "I don't believe it, since this is the case..."

"Wait, Netwives."

Another strange voice appeared.

She said: "Let go of that woman, she doesn't have spiritual power, nor demon power, she is not a demon exorcist at all."

The moment the girl uttered her voice, I could clearly feel the strength of the place being held weakened.The female monster and I looked at the person who made the sound—it was a petite blond girl, wearing a fashionable and classic dress, lace-up boots, and a white beret, the most characteristic Yes, it is a rare cane in her hand.

"My lord princess, do you want to protect this human being?" The bride of the network still didn't let go of her hand.

"Well...you calm down first. Since I have promised to solve the problem for you, I hope you can also cooperate with my work." She reversed the cane in her hand and pointed the front end at me, "You feel carefully For a moment, it's the lady's weapon that makes you feel threatened, and she doesn't have spiritual power, so she can't be a demon exorcist. The lady next to you, please take out the dagger in your arms, the bride There will be no confusion."

I let them drop the things I was carrying, and then took out the Imaki in my arms with my free hand.

After feeling it for a few seconds, the network bride let go of my hand.

"...Indeed, as the princess said." She looked at me, "It turns out that you are really not a demon exorcising master, so why did you bring such a sword with you, which confused me and thought you were an annoyed man?" Where's the exorcist. I apologize to you."

The girl known as the princess came closer with a cane. Seeing that our misunderstanding had been cleared up, she took the initiative to introduce herself.

"I am Kotoko Iwanaga, and I am an expert in solving the problems of gods and monsters. If you explain it in a secular way, you can regard me as a witch." She said, "The one next to you is the net bride, a quite famous monster. .”

"I'm Inai." I said, "Inai has no Ishi, just an ordinary person traveling in Yahara."

"Ordinary people?" The bride of the Internet is obviously not satisfied with my statement, "Ordinary people can't see me."

Iwanaga Kotoko glanced at her and said to me: "Miss Inai doesn't have any spiritual power. She must be influenced by the powerful Fusangshin to see monsters. But as far as I know, signing a contract with Token Fusangshin The God-inspector is selected by the government... Ms. Inai seems to be in a special situation."

"Yes." I said, "It's not convenient to disclose the details, sorry."

"Nothing." She took off her beret and smiled at me. "It's not suitable to talk under the scorching sun in this summer. Let's go to a cooler place. My boyfriend is waiting for me."

……

……

In the coffee shop, the four of us sat on two sides, and I was alone on one side, and Iwanaga Kotoko sat opposite me with her boyfriend—this is the situation in the eyes of ordinary people. At the same time, this group seems to be caught in the middle of the Iwanaga Kotoko is even more petite.

"Senior Jiulang~ Can't you get closer to me~" The dignified and steady girl just now turned into a cute coquettish girl in front of her boyfriend. In contrast, her boyfriend is not so coquettish.

"There's no need to be so tight in Xia Tian." He said, "Compared to these, don't you have other business to talk to this young lady?"

(...His voice resembles Dazai-san.)

"Before the topic starts, I would like to ask Miss Inai why she chose to travel to Yayuan during this sensitive period? The serial beheading case has not yet been solved, and when people are in panic, everyone avoids it. There is a clear place to choose. There are quite a few more, it is a bit suspicious to run to Yayuan at this time."

"...So this woman really has something to do with the exorcist, it hurts!" Before the bride could finish her sentence, Yanyong Qinzi hit her on the head with a cane.

"It has something to do with the sword in my hand." I said, "It's a legitimate reason, and it has been filed with the government." The latter sentence is my nonsense.

Yan Yong Qinzi did not pursue it, it seems that she thinks that as long as there is a reasonable reason, it will be fine.

"Then, let me explain why I'm here." She smiled and said, "I was entrusted by the new bride to find the real prisoner for her."

"Is the real culprit behind the murder?" I remembered that in the car, Sakamoto said that it was the Internet bride who caused the trouble. Maybe the rumors had already spread, "It is because people regard the prisoner as the Internet bride, so commission Ms. Yan Yong cleared her name?"

"That's what happened." She said, "Although most of the rumors about the Webbride say that she is a monster who eats people and will take people's heads, this Webbride did not do evil. If such rumors continue to spread , will inevitably attract powerful demon exorcists, and there is almost no way to communicate between monsters and demon exorcisers. It is too unreasonable to be framed as a murderer for something that the bride of the network has clearly never done."

This is the first time I know that there is a person like Iwanaga Kotoko who specializes in dealing with problems for monsters.

The boy Natsume who can see and live with monsters, the princess who specializes in solving problems for monsters, and the new bride who doesn’t eat people but is slandered as a murderer... It’s just a trip, I got it today The amount of information is too large.It's like an episode of a TV series that usually only lasts 45 minutes, but what I watch is a one-and-a-half-hour extended special.

"Does Ms. Inai have any clues?" she said, "Anything is fine, for example, it reminds people of the new wife..."

In the legends recorded by people, the main body of the net bride is a spider monster.I thought of the rhythmic sound like something crawling that came intermittently from the top of my head last night.

"Did you think of something?" Yan Yongqinzi asked: "No matter how small the details are, it's okay."

"In the hotel where I live, last night, I heard something crawling upstairs... like..." a large spider.

Yan Yong Qinzi understood what I meant, and she said, "Can you take us to see the scene?"

"It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the bride of the Internet, and it might make your trip for nothing." I don't have much confidence in the clues I gave, especially when a girl like her is running around for my words in the hot summer , if I make a trip for nothing, I will be drowned in guilt.

"It doesn't matter. Now we don't have any clues. As long as it is a little hint, it may be the key to finding the truth. What's more, the local hotels usually have a long history and they know the situation in the town. Think of it as asking for information."

Kotoko Iwanaga's words were impeccable, and she fully took care of my mood.The words have come to this point, if I evade again, it will appear that I don't know how to flatter, so I took the two of them and one demon to Xiaochuan's hotel.

On the way, I learned that the two of them turned out to be juniors from the same university and are currently in a relationship. Although Kotoko Iwanaga is more active in my opinion, Mr. Sakuragawa is not as cold as he appears. In my opinion Here comes a very special couple.

Opening the curtain of the hotel, Mr. Dazai's lively voice can be heard, but the lines are really not beautiful——

"What a beautiful woman—! A dignified appearance like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter—" He was holding the hand of a strange, curly-haired beauty in a kimono, and said words that were far from the atmosphere, "I think I have lived to this day just to die in love with you..."

Compared to me, Kotoko Iwanaga next to me reacted even more. She was shocked and pulled her boyfriend's arm, and complained in disbelief: "That frivolous man's voice is too similar to that of Kuro-senpai! I said, Kuro-senpai, you You definitely won’t be so frivolous, right!?”

The net bride covered her mouth with one hand, as if she saw some unclean scene and wanted to avoid it, she also murmured in a low voice: "... If this kind of man is met by other net brides, there is a high probability that he will be hooked. their food."

It’s the second time I’ve seen Mr. Dazai holding a woman’s hand and sending out an invitation to go to hell together. Compared with the pain caused by the passionate Soragi at the beginning, I’m much calmer now, plus Iwanaga Kotoko and The network bride's complaints were too strong, which added a lot of buffers to me.

Even so, I still don't want to face this scene head-on...

The woman he invited looked about 30 years old, exuding the unique charm of mature women all over her body, but when her appearance was different from hers, her expression was really cold.

"Please let go, sir."

"Ah Qing, what are you talking about with this man?" At the other end of the corridor, a young man came down from the stairs on the second floor. He looked like a high school student, with a handsome appearance, and even some female features. He was clearly the same as the woman who was invited by Dazai to die in love. He is an acquaintance, and directly calls out the names of women who are older than him, so it seems to be related.

"You too. I've never seen such a frivolous man like you. You really have a face that is always changing. I advise you not to pay attention to Ah Qing." He waved the sleeve of his kimono and said to the woman: "Let's go, Qing, father and Shiori are still waiting for us."

"Okay, young master." She withdrew her hand and said to Dazai: "I will give my whole life to Master Matsuyama Teruhito first, and I won't go to hell with you. Please give up your heart."

"Wow..." Kotoko Iwanaga firmly grasped her boyfriend's arm, "Should I be serious, or should I complain... The woman named Qing's reaction is really special."

Dazai, who was rejected, was not embarrassed. He slapped his sleeves and walked towards us who stood at the door and watched the whole process of this good show.

"Yi Jun! Good afternoon~" He greeted me cheerfully, "Did you have fun today?"

For a moment, the two people and one monster beside me, three pairs of eyes all converged on me, and they were filled with very complicated emotions that could not be explained clearly in a single sentence.

I'm alright."

The delicate atmosphere didn't exist for a second longer before it was interrupted by the sound of panicked footsteps. The grandma in the kitchen wanted to take three steps at a time, and ran downstairs holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

Yanyong Qinzi said: "Grandma, calm down a little, don't fall down."

"Something happened, something happened!" Grandma ran down the stairs, her body center of gravity had not been adjusted properly, and she seemed about to stagger and fall immediately, but luckily Dazai was close enough to hold her up.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Dead, dead! Boss, Mr. Yasuhiko died in the room... head..." She spoke hurriedly, Dazai hurriedly patted her back to comfort her, and grandma quickly said: "He has no head...!"

"This, this must be..."

"It's the bride."

The "young master" who had just left with Ah Qing, Teruto Matsuyama, was standing at the end of the corridor.

As if we were afraid we couldn't hear him, he repeated it again.

"This must be done by the new bride."

The author has something to say:
