The Melaleuca Routine of Dominating the Devil

Stepping into the gate of the Ministry of Public Security, the atmosphere suddenly changed.The elites in suits walking in the aisle are all serious and hurried.Machima couldn't help but think of her subordinates who died with her ten times on the train.

As expected of the demon hunter's own camp, everyone seems to have two brushes.

However, in addition to the smell of ordinary humans, Mazima also felt a different breath.This breath is too subtle, like a herd of snow-white sheep mixed with black shepherd dogs.

Or rather, the smell of a predator.

Reminder: You have entered the Department of Anti-monsters of the Ministry of Public Security.

[Special Anti-Magic Class]: In order to deal with the frequent occurrence of abnormalities in Japan, the Ministry of Public Security in Tokyo established a special anti-monster class.At the Tokyo headquarters, there are more than [-] officially registered demon hunters and folk activity demon hunters.

As an officially registered demon hunter, you enjoy high-quality medical insurance and benefits, as well as a one-month paid vacation.

A balance between work and rest is very important.Apart from the main plot line, I hope you can make reasonable use of your vacation time and have fun.I wish you a happy game.

How considerate.The players thought.There are really not many [games] that can remind you not to turn the game into 996 outside the plot.

……

"Marchma."

Walking in the territory of anti-monster special classes, you will inevitably encounter acquaintances that Mazima knows.A woman in a suit with medium-length black hair walked up to her.She wears a black eyeband over her right eye, and she can smell a strong smell of Marlboro while walking. It seems that she has just finished smoking outside for a long time.

Before Maqima could ask, the system made a "ding" sound, and a prompt popped up automatically.

[The information sheet for the special lesson on monsters has been updated. 】

[This expansion contains the list of Machima's existing friends, players can click to view it in the character introduction. 】

【Himeno Himeno

Known identity: Senior Demon Hunter of Tokyo's Special Class [-]

Special ability: at the cost of the right eye, sign a contract with ghosts and demons

Hobbies: smoking; molesting boys]

Tip: You can check the opponent's favorability value.

Before saying hello to the other party, I read the other party's information clearly.Is this the omnipotent God's perspective?But what does [Signing a contract with ghosts and demons] mean?Machima nodded at the other party with a smile, "Senior Himeno."

Noticing that Himeno's raised right arm was still bandaged, she asked, "Is the injury better?"

"Barely, let's make do with it anyway."

Ji Ye responded flatly, thinking he was in a bad mood.She snatched the coffee from Machima's hand as she passed by.After seeing [favorite value: 10] in the other party's data column, the woman with pink hair and circle eyes did not show anything, and followed behind the other party docilely.

With a favorability value of 10, it can be regarded as an ordinary colleague I know at best.However, the other party's identity as a senior demon hunter was enough for her to hold back and collect information.

"Where are you going next, senior?"

"Hand over the task. There is no idle time in this line of work."

"It was really hard work."

"The higher-ups are willing to arrange a partner. Anything is fine."

"...Then, how is the cooperation with Hayakawa-kun going?"

The blindfolded woman who had been walking lazily finally looked back at Maqima, her eyes full of unconcealable surprise. "How do you know Mr. Qiu..."

The plot character [Akira Hayakawa] re-emerged in the prompt made Maqima smile slightly.She walked slowly past Himeno, "Would you like to tell me about Akira Hayakawa... and his 'contract demon'?"

……

Intelligence is a very important thing.

This is Makima, or the most precious experience that players have gained in countless games.

Even if there were ten embarrassing GameOvers on the main line of the Shinkansen train in the early stage, the introduction of many plot characters disappeared due to lack of archives. This does not mean that Machima has completely forgotten.

On the contrary, she used the only information she had to speculate: [Makima] will establish friendly or other intimate relationships with [Denji], [Akira Hayakawa] and [Himeno] in the future.

It's unknown how good their relationship is, but at least to the extent that Makima didn't forget to celebrate at an izakaya before her business trip to Kyoto.

In the character introduction provided by the game, Himeno's special abilities are randomly marked, and she does not shy away from covering her right eye with an eye strap.Then it can be assumed that in the special class on monsters, it is a customary thing for ordinary people to make a contract with the devil.

In this way, asking Hayakawa Akira and his contract demon lightly has also become Machima's bold strategy.Presumably, demon hunters who can be registered in the public security system have to be transparent and open, and there will be no such thing as concealing the contracted demons with each other.

Fortunately, she took the right step.

Then get important information from Himeno in the main line of this week's goal.

"I really didn't expect it. I only met Qiu Jun yesterday, and Maqima already knew about it."

Himeno's favorability value subtly rose to 12. It seems that casual chatting can indeed increase mutual familiarity. "Qiu Jun had already had a lot of experience in dealing with demons in civil activities before. Being discovered by the upper echelon this time can be regarded as an affirmation of his ability."

"However, it's his misfortune to be sent to me as a partner, ha." Ji Ye made six gestures. "This is the sixth one... I hope he can live a few years."

"That said, senpai seems to be quite satisfied with Hayakawa-kun."

"That kid has a pretty face." Ji Ye lazily took a sip of his coffee. "It's Chi Nian who is so handsome that even a 'fox demon' gets close to him. It is said that the first day Qiu Jun came, the fox signed a contract with him."

——In other words, the faint predator smell in this building comes from those contract demons.

What can I say to put demons in the headquarters of the demon hunters, these human beings are really skilled and daring.

Tip: [Akira Hayakawa] character introduction has been updated.

【早川秋AkiHayakawa

Known identity: Demon hunter, once engaged in folk activities, recently included in the Tokyo Anti-Monster Special Class; Himeno's sixth partner;

Standard handsome guy (certified by Himeno and Fox Demon);

Special ability: sign a contract with the demon of the fox, and summon the demon with a fox-shaped gesture;? ? ?

Hobbies: revenge, investigating gun demons]

I really want to meet this Hayakawa Akira who has passed the certification of ordinary people and demons.By the way, in the previous five weeks, I only heard a very young male voice on the phone...

After reading the character introduction, Maqima temporarily put the matter aside.At this time, Ji Ye's voice also came over. "Although I don't know what your contract demon is, but don't be careless."

"Demons are the embodiment of something that people fear, and the more people fear something, the stronger the demons are. And they are unbelievable 'concepts'. Our task is to find them and kill them."

"The higher-ups should arrange a partner for you, Maqima...I'll just say this once, and I'll just mention it to my juniors."

Himeno said seriously. "A person has only one life. When necessary, don't worry about your partner. The most important thing is to protect yourself, do you understand?"

……

In the end, I didn't see the rumored very powerful shore captain.

The other party is on a business trip.Machima was very disappointed.

After getting acquainted with a few plot characters who don't seem to be very important, Maqima wandered around casually and didn't stay any longer.Before leaving the public security building, she deliberately found Hime Ye who was about to leave, and easily obtained the other party's contact information, including LINE and INS accounts.

Just click on the INS to see, all the colorful ones are the izakaya dessert shop that Himeno has checked in and the handsome idols of the J family.The things that young women like, even the devil hunters who come and go in the wind and rain cannot escape the vulgarity.

And her generous inquiry also gained the other party's increased favorability.On the tram on the way back, Machima checked Himeno's favorability value - 28.It seems that they are acquaintances who can talk to each other and contact each other by email.

Seeing that the other party can provide a wealth of information, I will go to her often in the future.

Machima thought so, closed the INS page she had liked, and put her phone back in her pocket.It was already past the rush hour for get off work and school, and there were very few people on the tram.She casually found an empty seat and sat down, resting her chin and admiring the scenery outside the window.

Opposite the seat, there are three or four middle school students wearing black and white school uniforms. The tall teenagers, even if they are quiet, have a strong sense of presence.Maqima glanced over: So that's it, they are all from the basketball department.

Even in the game world where demons exist, one of the characteristics of Japanese student days is still club activities.

Going home in groups after social activities is over, how youthful.

Are pets allowed on trains in Japan?Machima tilted her head.The backpack of the aqua-blue haired boy in the middle, the little guy inside couldn't hold back anymore.

"Wang Woo!"

"Hush! Be quiet, number two!"

As soon as the boy's backpack was pulled open, a small and exquisite dog popped out of its head.A few teenagers immediately went up to block it, booing the puppy for fear of being seen.Machima couldn't help laughing.

It was so interesting, obviously the red-haired boy was almost sweating.

Are you afraid to help your companions cover up if this happens?What a good friend.

As if he had noticed her gaze, the boy with aqua-blue hair and a rather fresh breath raised his head.His gaze matched Mazima's, and then slightly widened as if he had discovered something strange.

Mazima waved at the other party, and then mouthed: Xiao Xin.

The other party frowned, seemingly puzzled.

— Be careful, the dog is about to run out.

"Wang Wang!"

"Ah! Number two!! Don't run away!"

"...Wow! Why is there a dog here!!"

"Hey! Vulcan, Heizi! Stop No. [-]!"

It turned out that the child was called Heizi... Accompanied by the system's customary notification sound, Maqima got off the tram, leaving behind those teenagers who were scrambling to catch puppies.Probably not an important plot character, and it won't be too late to get to know each other if we have a chance in the future.

But speaking of which, one of Macchima's hobbies is keeping dogs, right?

……

Players don't hate dogs.Like [Makima], she is very tolerant of pets.

And after becoming [Machima], subtly, she also developed a preference for dogs.Dogs are obedient and cute, and have high loyalty. As a pet that stays at home and waits at any time, it is much more caring than other animals.

She once thought that there would be a pet dog in Maqima's house, and she also imagined the scene of being thrown down by the dog excitedly as soon as the door was opened.I just never thought that there would be so many of Macchima's dogs.

And they are all home demolishers like Huskies and Alaska.

[Makima] is definitely not short of money.Walking into the apartment building, the second and third floors belong to her property.Open the main door on the second floor, neatly and warmly decorated, and seven or eight big dogs rushed out head-on.Machima gently touched a blue-eyed husky beside her, and then watched it flick its tail wildly as if it was putting on a battery.

"It's really interesting." The joy of raising a dog can be felt from the moment he enters the house.

She touched the surrounding dogs one by one with her hand, and then slowly read their names. "Tiramisu, puffs, chocolate..."

"I am back."
