The Melaleuca Routine of Dominating the Devil

When Maqima came out of the guest room, Dianci and Fuheshier squatted in a corner and sat on the sofa, and the two forces were clearly separated.The atmosphere in the corner was dignified, and the puppy's resentment, which was sitting with its back to it, was almost concrete, and one could even see the black air rising from the top of its head.

"Denji-kun, what's wrong with you?"

A weeping face lifted from the crook of his arms, looking at the pink-haired woman with a caring expression. "Whoa, Miss Macchima..."

"?"

"This kid thinks I'm your concubine, and he's depressed because he can't accept the stimulation."

"Hearing that I've lived here for nearly a year, my complexion is very ugly." After finally watching enough excitement from the sidelines, Shi Er began to explain the reaction of the electric time with malicious intentions. "Oh, this time I want to rush over and bite me."

"It's not impossible to do it." He moved his shoulders, not forgetting to be lazy and provocative. "If this teaches the puppy a lesson—"

"Shier and I are not in the kind of relationship that Dianci thought."

Interrupting his next step to stir up the nerves, Maqima didn't look at Fuhei, but bent down and explained to the boy seriously. "Shi'er has many enemies in Tokyo. After I rescued him, I introduced him to the Fourth Public Security Section and let Shi'er accept asylum. Based on time, Shi'er is a senior in work after Mr. Denji."

Denji's eyes gradually lit up, but he still hesitated.

"So, Miss Marchma and this fellow..."

Machima stroked the boy's soft hair and smiled.

"I'm single now."

Immediately cheered up, his eyes lit up.

—Yes, he still has a chance! !

"Dianci-kun, the room you are going to live in tonight is ready, and the change of clothes is in the bathroom. If you need anything else, just ask me."

Pulling him up from the floor, Machima suddenly remembered something, and said to the two people who were still staring at each other (to be precise, Denji wanted to start a war unilaterally). "By the way, there is one thing I want Shier to help with..."

"When there is no task, can I let you guide Denji-kun's Taijutsu?" The golden circle eyes smiled. "I confirmed with the people in the data department, Shi Er, you have been a little slack recently."

"I also have other things to do." Fu Hei curled his lips, looking unhappy. "Just those few tasks..."

"I know. With your strength of 'Heaven and Curse', you probably don't like the demons you face most often in the fourth class. The tasks provided by the data department for you are indeed inferior." Maqima nodded . "Denji-kun will definitely be a good opponent in the future. He is a person with great potential."

Fu Hei sized up the shark-toothed boy, seeing him frowning with disgust on his face, as if he wanted to say where the potential you mentioned is why I didn't find it.

Denji was also extremely uncomfortable being observed by the hated hostile target like this. He glanced at Shier's missing left forearm while chattering. "Can this guy really fight..."

"Shier's strength is very strong, Dian Cijun, don't underestimate him."

"But it's impossible for Pochita and I to lose! Scarface might be startled by the chainsaw, and then weep..."

The green pupils lingered on Maqima for a moment, Shier finally let out a chuckle from his nose. "You really care about this big talker."

"No problem, I will mention it carefully and let him know that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky."

Dianci: "People... what day?"

Directly ignoring the confused young man, Fu Heisher readily agreed.It's just that there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in this quick nodding agreement.

"It's the first time I've seen you take care of a newcomer like this, Maqima."

Or it was the first time I saw her and began to actively pay attention to humans.Fuheshier asked with a frown. "What the hell are you thinking?"

……

Don't guess the mind that dominates the devil, because guessing may not be accurate.

According to Fuhei's understanding of Maqima, this woman is used to doing things according to the rules.This rule can be a law, it can be a convention of a demon hunter, or it can be her personal style of doing things.Getting along with her is actually not that difficult to guess, because she herself is a woman who seeks stability.

But with the sudden appearance of Denji, the "stability" of Machima has been easily changed.When the pink-haired woman showed concern and even explained to the phone that her relationship with him was not a misunderstanding, Shi Er didn't show it on the surface, but in fact her heart began to shake.

—Is this woman under a curse?

Does she really pay attention to other people's moods, or is it a boy who is obviously interested in her?

What is the origin of this young man? Could it be Wang Xinglai's prince?

In the middle of the night, Shi Er, who rarely fell asleep, walked into the living room, and met Dian who yawned and went to the bathroom at night.The sleepy bug immediately flew thousands of miles away, and the two of them looked at each other like silent sculptures in the darkness for a long time without saying a word.

Sure enough... Any conflict can only be resolved by fighting.

Immediately they are the relationship between master and apprentice.Taking advantage of the fact that the status is still equal, shouldn't it be necessary to explore each other's strength?

The space in the living room was limited, and the two passionate men decided not to use weapons with the last ounce of reason, and silently competed in the dark.Dianci was the first to charge up, first he faked an exaggerated punch, and at the same time kicked up, aggressively.

"Let you, as soon as you come up, lie to me!"

Dianci cursed in a low voice. "What are you talking about living together for nearly a year, so Miss Maqima won't take a fancy to your little boy!"

Cleverly dodging the opponent's crotch kick, Shi Er frowned and before he could speak, the next target's crotch kick caught up!

"I hit men, never, only at the crotch!"

Another kick failed, and even the slippers were thrown away and smashed onto the TV.But the electric times still missed the target and did not give up. "Squatting at home, a crippled man with a disfigured face..."

The next second he was kicked out.

When he came back to his senses, Denji found himself standing upside down against the wall. "...?!"

Accompanying it was an extremely sour pain. "Uh, uh--!"

"Stop shouting, you'll be in trouble if you wake up Machima."

The first time he saw the electricity, he opened his pajama pants with a pale face and tried to lift his neck to look inward, Shi Er was a little speechless. "Don't worry, everything that should be there is still there. I don't play like you."

"But it hurts! Damn it, why is that, that place hurts so much!"

"Because I'm attacking acupuncture points, idiot, keep your voice down."

In the apartment shrouded in darkness, the sudden sound of dog barking was particularly abrupt, giving it an inexplicable and eerie feeling.The two immediately fell silent—neither of them wanted to wake up all the creatures in the house in the middle of the night, after all, no one knew what would happen to Mazima who disturbed her dream.

"Hiss...it still hurts..."

"...I'm sorry for what I said before."

"Huh? You mean..."

"It's all a lie to you."

Sitting on the floor far away, Dianci rubbed the painful place while inhaling.Fu Hei looked at the dark ceiling, and didn't know whether he was talking to the boy or talking to himself. "Machima...she just regards me as a convenient tool, a military dog ​​belonging to the fourth class."

"Didn't you live with Miss Machima all the time, what's there to complain about..."

Drowsiness struck again, and the shock after the fight finally wiped away the unhappiness in his heart, and he yawned big.The floor of the living room was icy and cool, exuding a dry and pleasant smell of wood. He sniffed and felt that he could still smell the fragrance of the pink-haired woman surrounded by him.

"...Being able to live under the same roof with Miss Machima, eating, chatting, and walking the dog. Just thinking about it makes me envious..."

"Hmph, what's so enviable—"

The dark-haired man suddenly stopped what he was about to say.Even in the darkness, he could feel the extra shallow breathing in the living room.Machima appeared in the stairwell with her hair loose.

"...Hi, brat." There was no response, Shi Er asked. "Electricity?"

The boy lay on the comfortable floor, smacking his lips and falling asleep.Shi Er couldn't help being speechless at such a fast speed of dreaming. "The sleep quality of young people is just good."

"After all, Denji-kun has had a very long day, and he fought solidly for two or three rounds."

Machima flicked on the night light on the wall.She looked fine, and she was wearing white pajamas.Her hair was a little messy, and Shi Er even noticed that there were marks from the pillow on her face.

"So, you couldn't hold back the fight in the end."

"Woke you up?"

"...Did you really not notice it?" Mazima glanced over, and Shier, who received the unpleasant signal, quickly turned his head away. "According to your movement, I am afraid that the dead will have to be woken up."

"...In short, I didn't do it first."

Men will quibble until they die, and she can see it.Machima shook her head before turning and walking into the kitchen.She poured two glasses of water in the faint light, one for Fu Hei, and one in her hand.

Fu Hei took a sip of water, played with the glass, and suddenly gave a short laugh.Mazima looked puzzled, and the latter just said. "Fortunately, this kid has already fallen asleep."

——Otherwise, when he sees the current scene, he will jump his feet in anger again, and then squat in the corner and go depressed.

"Did you feel better after the fight?"

"It's okay, with Dianji's current ability, he can't even be considered a qualified sandbag." He watched as Mazima took off the thin blanket from the back of the sofa and covered Dianci who curled up unconsciously.

"Why do you pay so much attention to power times?"

This question has been circling in Fuhesher's mind for a while, and it is a good time to choose to ask in the dark living room, and it can also cover up the embarrassment that would occur face to face during the day. "He is only 16 years old. He has no education. Apart from eating and drinking, he thinks about women. Even his boxing skills are barely there... What is so special about him?"

So special that it even appeals to you?

"Could it be that you can't use your ability to control..."

"Shier, don't say strange things in front of Mr. Dian from now on."

Machima raised her head slightly.Under the lavender night light, her face was as cold as jade.The pink-haired woman at night is not surrounded by noise, and looks more inhumanly transparent.

"This kid means a lot to me."

"Hey, what are you doing..."

Unbuttoning the boy's pajamas, she calmly opened Dianci's skirt under Shi Er's horrified gaze, exposing her chest to the air.The black cord remains.On the ups and downs of the chest, the triangular pull ring fits quietly. "Just wanted to show you the secret of the Electric Times...or 'Chainsaw Man'."

"I'm very interested in this place." Makima said softly, looking at the pull ring on Denji's chest. "I even kind of want to cut it open and see what's inside."

"...If you really want to see it, I can help you."

Isn't it easy to divide people in half?As long as Fu Hei is willing, Dianci can go to hell while sleeping.But before he could make a move, Mazima shook her head first.

"I hope you can help me...to help Denji-kun grow up." She re-buttoned Denji's pajamas. "Denji-kun has to become strong enough."

--but why?

Darkness is indeed a shell that protects the emotions.After a while, Fuheshier found his voice.

"I promise you."
