I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

Hanako's fast teleportation service sounds mysterious, but when you're actually in it, there's nothing special about it.It's like the coloring of a room in a virtual game, from color to black, and then a new color again.After a few breaths, he put his hands on the compartment again and pushed open the door, the scenery in front of him changed.

This is a one-story office building with a retro style, but the overall color is soft and comfortable.

After Atsushi Nakajima came out of the room, the first thing he greeted was a young man with a smile on his face——

"Oh~ I didn't expect it to be really successful." The young man raised his voice at the end, but his tone was clearly filled with the affirmation of "previously expected". Now that he said it like this, it seemed like he was deliberately trying to give someone face.

(No, it would be more annoying to say... the tone is too frivolous!)

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know why he thought of that.

"Huh? Isn't Hanako-kun here?"

Dazai waited for a few seconds, but he didn't see that figure. The only one in front of him was Atsushi Nakajima.

"A child I've never seen before... Could it be Mr. Clerk?" Being sized up by the young man with a smile on his face, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly became embarrassed.

"Forget it, is it a shop assistant?" Worried about his behavior being inappropriate and discrediting the shop owner, Nakajima urged, embarrassed: "...If you want to find Hanako-kun, he should be at..."

"My guest is not you."

Hanako came out from the shadows, his eyes swept over the narrow aisle in front of him, he knew that once he passed this way, he would see the main hall with dark and bright flowers in front of him, but he could probably figure out what Dazai's intention was at the door now.

Just like the frontline scouts on the battlefield, they must not only quickly analyze intelligence, but also pass effective information to the rear headquarters.

And Dazai is about a plus-level scout, in short, he is in charge of brainpower, right?

"If he doesn't show up, it doesn't matter if I just leave." Not wanting to be at a disadvantage, Hanako said, "Let's go, Nakajima-kun. It seems that the customer doesn't really want to do business with us..."

Just at this moment, another voice they had heard before interrupted their conversation.

Accompanied by the rhythmic footsteps, the young man's voice interjected: "Dazai! What are you doing here...huh?"

Kunikida walked into the blind spot here alone, and saw two figures blocked by his companions.

Strange Rifa boy and...

Hanako-kun.

It was recognized almost immediately that this was the one who summoned her, Hanako's smile floated on her cheeks, sweeping away her cold attitude——

"Good afternoon, sir. What have I been summoned for?"

"..." Kunikida sighed, and Dazai who was watching the excitement laughed twice.

He pushed his glasses and said to Hanako, "...can I start from the beginning?"

Hanako made a "please" gesture.

Noticing the change in Hanako's attitude, Atsushi Nakajima has to say that Hanako's attitude towards his customers is always like a spring breeze—at least it is different from that of non-customers.

"The reason is——10 minutes ago, an acquaintance who was helped by the detective agency sent a large basket of apples."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Huh?" Should we start from this far?

"So, as you can see, this idle guy handed me the apple, saying that I can try to summon Hanako with this." Kunikida frowned when he said this - obviously something happened later Some not-so-nice things.

Hanako pretended to be surprised: "...but, judging by your personality, it doesn't look like you would agree to this joke, right?"

"This guy promised me that as long as I make a summon as required, no matter what the result is, he will promise me to finish the rest of the work well, and I will never skip work or disappear today." In Kunikida's unique world, this is rare It was such an ordinary thing that he looked at Dazai with a slightly relieved expression: "...Then, that's it."

"But~ I didn't expect it to be really successful~ Obviously I kept calling Hanako-kun in my heart but I didn't get a response. Kunikida-kun occasionally has something that makes me jealous."

Hanako: "..." Who are you kidding, he didn't even hear Dazai call him, okay?

Kunikida quickly recovered his mood, and politely said to Hanako and the others: "That's the way it is, please make a trip every day. I'm sorry..." He might feel that it wasn't enough, so he added: "...Well, Apple is still there. There are quite a few, shall I get some for you?"

The more Hanako looked at him, the more pleasing she was, and said with a smile: "No need, but since I'm here, if I don't make a deal, the one who suffers is not me, but you?"

"For example, do you have any troubles recently, trouble you... or difficult issues? We can provide divination services." Hanako said, spreading her palms, and a red and black mist bead rose from her palms , the dense mist flows slowly, looking mysterious and unpredictable.

Seeing Hanako use this ability for the first time, Atsushi Nakajima swallowed.

If Kunikida chooses divination, then he might be able to see very powerful things.

Seeing Kunikida's subtle wavering, Hanako continued to seduce, "...Don't you want to try it? Besides divination, I have a lot of good things here, and I accept pre-orders."

If possible, he would like to discount the entire membership card points, but this would damage the mysterious image too much, so he could only think about it.

The boy blinked: "Don't worry, I'm not a monster who would tempt humans to form dangerous contracts. I follow the principle of fair trade..."

"Since the other party has already talked about it, why don't you try it?" Dazai said with a relaxed tone, with his hands in his pockets, he was already leaning against the wall.

Kunikida looked at him: "...I'm rather surprised, your reaction is too quiet."

Dazai: "Oh?"

Kunikida: "In normal times, you would definitely use provocative methods, such as 'Eh? Kunikida-kun is not willing to do this, is it because you are afraid'... and so on, trying to provoke me to achieve the goal Right? But now...the reaction is so flat that it's not your style at all."

"I didn't expect Kunikida-kun to be more cautious~" Dazai said to Hanako with a smile, "It's not my responsibility."

"Accumulating past responsibilities, the only source of responsibility is you."

"...Then I'm really a little innocent, Kunikida-kun. After all, don't you really plan to try it? This is monster divination! A plot that only appears on TV, and now Kunikida-kun has become The protagonist of the story."

Dazai's excitement didn't affect Kunikida Doppo in the slightest, rather it troubled him even more.

"Having said that, I don't have anything to ask..."

"Isn't there?" Dazai reminded, "I recently received a request to find 'Tiger', and I heard that it appeared nearby—"

"Boom."

Simultaneously with the end of Dazai's words, there was the muffled sound of Atsushi Nakajima's elbow hitting the cabinet next to the wall. The impact was so strong that Hanako also looked sideways at him.

After hearing Dazai's speech, the boy's expression was a little unnatural. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Atsushi Nakajima subconsciously took half a step back.

Obviously, Dazai's words brought back some not-so-good memories in him, his eyes widened slightly, and his thoughts turned and tangled in his mind.

Hanako narrowed her eyes—everyone could tell that there was something wrong with Atsushi Nakajima's appearance.

"...do you know the news about 'Tiger'?"

Unexpectedly, someone who knew the news worth 70 billion rewards was by her side. Hanako regretted bringing him out, otherwise it would be better for her to have the news all by herself.

And still in front of the detective agency...

He thought: Since it was entrusted to a detective agency, nine out of ten it was a request from the government.But doesn't the detective society know that this message is worth 70 billion?

It's a pity, if Atsushi Nakajima hadn't told the news in front of the detective agency, he would have been able to take the 70 billion for himself.

Dazai made a happy note beside him——

"This is really wonderful~ Kunikida-kun, it really is 'luck divination'~"

……

……

Thinking that he handed over the news, Jiu Yuan felt a little depressed.

"...The orphanage I lived in was destroyed by that tiger. The fields became barren and the warehouse collapsed..."

They changed places, found a conversation room from the detective agency, closed the door, and listened to Atsushi Nakajima tell what had happened to him.

First, because the orphanage was short of funds, and because the disaster brought by the tiger was even more embarrassing, he was driven out to save food.

Furthermore, he said that he saw a tiger by the river a few days ago——

Hearing this, Hanako slightly raised her eyebrows, but did not speak.

It's just that when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Dazai's eyes——

The young man's withered leaf-colored eyes were full of smiles, as if he had captured the root of the answer.The slender eyelashes fluttered slightly when he smiled and blinked, and then, a brighter smile completely covered up this discord.

(...This guy.) Hanako didn't speak, he guessed that Dazai should be Tomorrow or something.

Listening intently to Atsushi Nakajima's narration, Kunikida didn't notice the communication between the two of them.

Atsushi Nakajima fell into his own emotions more and more, recalling the grievances and distress along the way. In this retelling, he unconsciously revealed some real thoughts, or thoughts that did exist in the past .

"A useless person like me who is not needed by others... It would be better to just die in the wilderness like this, or to be eaten by a tiger directly..."

With his gradually weakening voice, the atmosphere in the room also became solemn, as if frost could be dripping down.

"His-"

Atsushi Nakajima looked up, and saw that the boy next to him suddenly took out the cookie they made together earlier.

Then slowly, put the cookie in your mouth.

"Crackling—"

(Hey...what I said is too boring, so everyone doesn't want to listen to it...I'm really useless...)

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly hesitated to look at him, but next, the boy handed the cookie to him.

"Try it."

The open wrapping paper is like a bursting morning glory, and the fresh cookies still have some residual sweetness. The fragrance is not strong, just like a refreshing sweet wind.

Atsushi Nakajima stretched out his hand out of nowhere, and he put the crispy cookie into his mouth.

(So ​​sweet.)

(But...not tired.)

When this sweetness touches the tip of the tongue, it is like a breeze, washing away the trace of depression entangled in the heart.

(It's delicious.) That's all that's left in my mind.

"Try it too." Hanako handed out the biscuit to the two people in front of her.

Dazai and Kunikida followed the atmosphere and took a bite of the biscuit alone.

"Delicious~" Dazai answered with a smile.

"Hmm..." Kunikida's reaction was even more blunt, "The sweetness is moderate, but it's delicious...but you can't eat too much."

"Is this what you mean 'it's so delicious that you can't stop eating'?" Dazai said, "Kunikida-kun, when you want to praise someone, just be straight."

"Nakajima-kun made this, and it's his first time making cookies."

Hanako took another bite of biscuit, "So..."

"You are not someone who is useless and can die anywhere."

It can be seen that Hanako is not very good at comforting people.

"...at least, the biscuits you make are delicious."

Atsushi Nakajima's experience made him very sensitive to human emotions, to the point of almost masochistic.

Even though Hanako's expression was very clumsy, he also understood that this was the other party's effort to express his kindness.

"……thanks."

After finishing speaking, he added a sentence with some embarrassment: "However... Mr. Oda did most of the work, and Sakule helped. I don't seem to have done anything..."

Hanako thought while eating the biscuits, the biscuits made by Oda Sakunosuke seem to have some strange effects, which can bring calming, calming and other effects.

The influence on powerful monsters like Hanako may be weaker, but little monsters, humans, can feel it more clearly.

Atsushi Nakajima came out of his emotions so quickly, which also has a cookie effect.

Oda Sakunosuke only made cookies with ordinary ingredients to have this effect. I don't know how powerful cookies made with special materials will be.

This is just right, cookies made of ordinary materials have no demonic power, and yesterday he promised Gojo Satoru would launch some products with soothing effects, and these cookies can be sold to magicians.

When Hanako thought of this, Atsushi Nakajima's expression became more kind and loving.

...Although he sent out the information of 70 billion, but... Atsushi Nakajima found such a powerful employee for him through summoning souls, this is a resource for sustainable development!

What's more, their lifespan is infinite... um... How many years will it take to sell 70 billion cookies?

His train of thought has gone forever on the road of the evil capitalist, and Jiuyuan, who has been so frightening to the bone, has not noticed Dazai's subtle emotional changes at this time.

"Ah, that's right." Atsushi Nakajima still felt that he didn't dare to take the credit, so he took out two small bags of packaged cookies and gave them to Dazai and Kunikida.

"The boss said that today is the opening event, and every customer will send cookies."

"Is it okay?" Dazai asked after taking the overly heavy bag of presents from Atsushi Nakajima.

"Huh? Although Dazai-san is not a client... But... it should be fine, right?"

"……thanks."

Dazai unwrapped the ribbon, picked up a cookie and put it in his mouth again.

It's like savoring the taste carefully.

The way he eats quietly is like a plant whose leaves are dripped by spring rain, and the new leaves are brightened by the dew bestowed by God.

It was the first time Atsushi Nakajima saw someone like Dazai, and the boy asked anxiously, "...Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious~" Dazai returned to the familiar appearance of Atsushi Nakajima.

Dazai smiled and said, "Who the hell can make such delicious cookies..."

"...It makes me want to meet him a little bit."
