On weekends, we went to Nadeko's house as scheduled.

Because the address is a bit far away, I specially asked Sasaki to drive to Xia Youjie’s house to pick him up. The boy in a light-colored sweater got in the car and greeted Sasaki politely and sat next to me: “Please come pick me up, Makoto .”

"It's okay, do you want some juice?" As I said, I handed over a bottle of drink.

Xia Youjie said thank you, took the drink and took two sips.The mica on my shoulder watched him curiously, Xia Youjie noticed the little guy blinked and asked, "Is this... a fox?"

"Mica is a cat demon with two tails." While explaining, I raised my hand and stroked Mica's small head. Looking at the light in the boy's eyes, I suppressed a smile and asked him: "You can touch his head, Mica is very good Get along."

The shrunken mica is cute in appearance, no different from ordinary kittens, but the mica that returns to its original shape is huge in size, with sharp teeth that can easily tear apart enemies.

The car finally stopped after spending several hours in the car.

The boy who fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair rubbed his eyes and looked out the window sleepily: "Have you arrived yet?"

"Well, it's here." I stretched out my hand to catch the mica that jumped over him, hooked my finger on the little guy's chin and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that you like Jie very much."

Mica wagged her tail, squinted her eyes and yelled coquettishly at me.

Hey, it looks more and more cute!

Facing the large villa, Xia Youjie was stunned for a while: "...So Nadeshiko is also the eldest lady?"

"Don't you know?" I was wearing a kimono prepared by Sachiko, a red kimono, and a white haori with lavender petals printed on it. People in the Zen monastery prefer kimonos to modern clothes: "Nadeko's grandfather He is the chairman of Tiangong Enterprise, although he is not that famous, he is indeed quite rich, so don't be too nervous."

I turned my head: "You go back first."

Sasaki nodded, but still waited for the two of us to ring the doorbell and actually enter the gate of Tiangong's house before driving away.

The person in charge of receiving us was a middle-aged man in a tuxedo. I guess it should be the housekeeper. He stood in front of us, surrounded by black shadows of different sizes. Under my eyes, those shadows gradually revealed scarlet Color eyes and let out one after another roar.

Xia Youjie couldn't help but took a step back, his face turned slightly pale.

He has never seen so many curse spirits gathered together. He carefully glanced at the kind butler in front of him and asked me in a low voice: Makoto, are those... all curse spirits?

I nodded, it was rare for so many low-level spell spirits to haunt the same person.

If the curse spirit is allowed to stay like this, the body of ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear it, and various problems visible to the naked eye will begin to appear.My eyes turned slightly to another place, and I asked my own shikigami silently: 【Shiki, can you exorcise those curse spirits? 】

【Can. 】

My shikigami was released from Reishi, and a form that only those with spell power could see appeared beside me. The black-haired girl in red leaned down, charged up her toes, and flew out like a rain of arrows.The short knife flexibly rotated in her hand, reflecting the luster of cold metal. She simply swung the knife two or three times, and the group of black curse spirits exploded like a popped balloon, dissipating into black mist in the air. .

I:"……"

Xia Youjie looked at me blankly: "Is this the end?"

I held back the shock in my heart: "Ah, yes, it's over."

The butler who was walking in front only noticed a gust of wind blowing from behind, he turned his head with some doubts but only saw the innocent and curious eyes of the two children.

He didn't know why he felt that his originally heavy steps became easier.

When we arrived at the small indoor garden, Nadeko was sitting at a round table wearing a long white dress. The lovely girl smiled brightly when she saw us coming over. Xia Youjie, who was still a little nervous, suddenly relaxed.

The scenery in the indoor garden is very elegant and comfortable. In addition to desserts, some not very sweet food was prepared. Xia Youjie drank black tea and listened quietly to the conversation of the two girls, and occasionally interacted with them appropriately. Nadeko was afraid of him I felt bored and specially prepared a few books.

"It's a detective story." Xia Youjie looked at the cover in surprise.

Nadeko explained with a smile: "I think Jie might be more interested in this kind of books, so I borrowed a few from my grandfather. If you like it, you can take it back to read, it's okay."

Xia Youjie opened the book and glanced at it, his eyes brightened slightly: "There is even a novel by Yusaku Kudo! Thank you Nadeshiko!"

My eyes widened in surprise when I heard the familiar name.

Yusaku Kudo? !Isn't that Conan's father? ...Could it be someone with the same name?

Xia Youjie blinked: "Is Makoto also interested in Yusaku Kudo's novel?"

I put down my glass and chose to answer conservatively: "No, I've only heard of the name Yusaku Kudo, I haven't read his works yet."

As a good friend, Xia Youjie immediately began to talk to me: "If you are interested in detective novels, you must read a few books written by him!" He searched through those books and picked out Two books were handed to me: "I have already read these two books in the library."

I who was forced to eat Amway: "...Okay, I will watch it."

System: [Unexpectedly, Xia Youjie had such attributes when he was a child. 】

Me: Could it be that he stopped reading such books when he grows up?

System: [Well...not really...]

The voice of the system faltered and finally disappeared without saying anything clearly. While responding to Nadeko’s topic, I thought to myself, is this game system becoming more and more humane?

The pleasant time lasted until the evening.

After leaving Fuzi's house, I dragged Xia Youjie to a corner where the surveillance camera couldn't see. The mica fell on the ground and performed a gorgeous transformation for Xia Youjie, turning into a big mica.

I took his hand and sat on Mica's back, Xia Youjie carefully pulled my haori: "Isn't this going to be seen by others?"

"No, ordinary people won't be able to see us if I use the magic power to control us." I rubbed the hair on the neck of Big Mica: "Let's go, Mica!"

The four legs of the big mica were entwined with fire, and it easily carried the two children into the sky.

Enjoying the taste of flying in the sky for the first time, Xia Youjie couldn't help but hugged the girl's waist tightly with his arms, and leaned his head on the shoulder of the person in front of him nervously with his eyes closed.

"Jay, don't be afraid."

He heard Makoto's voice mixed with the wind into his ears.

"Open your eyes and take a look, both the scenery above and below are very beautiful."

Xia Youjie hesitated for a while, but still believed her words and opened his eyes cautiously.In front of my eyes is the bright red sunset, and the clouds smudged with the glow seem to be close at hand, and I can touch them with my hand. There are countless shrunken buildings under my feet, and the lights of thousands of houses are as bright as stars.

And they are placed between heaven and earth.
