Chinami was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Fortunately, Sakura Chiyo didn't linger on this topic, and after finishing speaking, she dragged Chinami into the studio together.

The people in the studio have almost arrived, and they are all busy sitting in front of their drawing boards.

Seeing her coming in, the president of the art club greeted her, and said with a smile, "Why is the venue still here today?"

"?" Chinami didn't understand what she meant.

"Don't get me wrong." The president smiled while mixing colors on the palette, "I saw you go out to answer the phone just now, and thought you were going to ask for leave again when you came back."

When she said that, Chi Nami felt a little embarrassed.

The president saw through it at a glance: "It doesn't matter, our club doesn't have so many requirements. Besides, we all know the situation of the classmates' families."

Chinami was taken aback again.

She wondered, she only moved to Saitama in March, and entered the Romance Academy at the beginning of April. It has only been two weeks so far. Why does it feel like the identity of the exorcist is known to the whole school? ? ?

Is there something wrong with the way she hides?

Last year in Kanagawa too...

Is it true that, as my brother said, she can't live a low-key life alone?

Just when Qian Nai fell into self-doubt, another boy's words helped her out of doubt.

The boy in the next class who was also in the first grade poked his head out from behind his drawing board: "Actually, I've been curious for a long time. Is it true that my classmate's house is really gangster like the rumors?"

Chinami: "..."

really!

She was worrying in vain again!

Subconsciously glanced at Sakura Chiyo, the latter had a sudden expression of "so everyone has seen through it".

Chinami thought for a moment.

It seems that I still behaved too differently, such as... For example, what?

How does she think, how does she feel that she is no different from other ordinary students!

Seeing her confusion, the boy couldn't help laughing: "The demeanor of my classmates can't deceive people. It's okay, it doesn't matter if you're a gangster, I'm a little curious. I know there are months in the local area. Chuangumi, does your classmate have anything to do with them?"

Only then did Qian Nai come back to her senses: "No, my family is not a black|dao."

She brought up the "traditional art family" and said it again.

The boy, the president, and other people in the studio all showed expressions of "no wonder so": "No wonder classmate Zhang moved into such a big old house as soon as he moved to Saitama."

"As expected of a traditional family. Is such a big house just another courtyard?"

"We didn't guess wrong. Your classmate Zhang is everyone's daughter."

Among the curious eyes, Qian Naimei thought a little guilty:

Eliminating demons...should be regarded as a traditional art, right?

I don't know if it's Chinami's delusion, but after learning about her family situation, the members of the art club have a much closer attitude towards her than before.

In the past, Chinami always felt that apart from Sakura Chiyo, there was a barrier between her and everyone else.

Now the film is gone...

This made Chinami embarrassed and wanted to laugh.

Chinami and Sakura Chiyo mentioned this when they left school at the end of the day.

Sakura Chiyo expressed her understanding: "Of course. Everyone thinks that Qianna has opened up with everyone and is willing to date. Before, everyone really wanted to be friends with Qianna, but you seemed a little difficult to get close to."

Chinami: "...Aren't you my friend?"

Chiyo giggled, jumped to the front and turned around to make a grimace: "Who told me to live close to Qianna! But to be honest, if I hadn't seen Qiannai being so gentle with stray cats, I wouldn't dare to talk to you casually. I always feel ..."

She stopped, raised her head and thought for a while: "I always feel that being in front of Qiannai is the same as being in front of a teacher! It's still the strictest kind of teacher!"

Chinami laughed.

Just at the fork in the road, he greeted Sakura Chiyo and turned into the fork in the road that he didn't usually take.

I thought Chiyo would ask something, but the other party waved goodbye directly, and specifically told: "Although I am not qualified to talk about your family affairs, but China-chan, don't push yourself so hard! You are still a student, and you feel better than Nozaki-kun. Hard!"

Qian Nami really laughed: "Don't worry, I know."

The Chang family eliminates demons, one is for money, the other is for fame, and the third is to protect ordinary people like Chiyo.

If the monsters in one place are left alone, sooner or later the darkness belonging to the monster world will invade the world of ordinary people, and the world will be in chaos.

Thinking of the past life, the smile on Qian Naimei's face disappeared, and her eyes darkened.

It's a good thing Chiyo isn't here now, otherwise, seeing her face, she wouldn't have said anything gentle to the wild cat—the eyes are so scary, even if she is gentle in her bones, she wouldn't dare to talk to her casually.

Turning on the phone, Chinami dialed the doorman's number: "How's the situation?"

"It's not yet the time for that spirit to come out to cause trouble, so I calmed down the client's emotions for the time being."

"Well, I'll be right there."

The client this time is a female white-collar worker who lives on the thirteenth floor of an apartment.

Before entering the apartment, standing downstairs, Qian Naimei saw a cloud of black air lingering above.

This is different from the previous situation of the spider girl.

The Man-faced Spider Girl can hold back her own evil spirit, so she cannot be seen from the outside of the floor, and must be tracked with the Man-faced Spider.The demonic aura on the top of the head is obviously left over from the visit of the monster. The monster itself is not there, so it can be seen by people like the demon master.

Judging by the intensity of the black energy, if the exorcising master did not take action tonight, that female white-collar worker would be dead.

Enter the elevator and go up to the thirteenth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Qian Nai saw a man and a woman standing outside.

Seeing her doubts, the doorman in a suit and holding a briefcase had no choice but to explain: "I'm here to pick you up, Miss Ito insisted on coming with me."

Chinami turned her gaze to the young woman.

Ms. Sato was dressed in home clothes, her hair was tied up in a mess on the top of her head, her cheeks were thin, her eye sockets were sunken, and her eyes flicked around in panic.Meeting Qian Nami's eyes, Ms. Sato herself was startled: "You, hello... Please!"

Realizing that the female high school student in front of her was the real person in charge this time, she took a step forward and grabbed Chinami's right hand.

The force was so great that a clear phalanx shape appeared on the back of the hand.

——Miss Sato has become so thin that only skin and bones remain.

Qian Nai covered the back of Miss Sato's hand with her left hand, and said in a slow voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of that monster tonight."

Chinami's promise made Sato feel a little relieved.

Only then did she realize her subconscious movements, she withdrew her hand and lowered her head: "Sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, let's go inside and talk."

Miss Sato yelled too loudly just now, and one or two houses in the corridor had opened their doors a little and were looking out.

Ms. Sato lowered her head even lower, and guided China Miwa's concierge back to her room.

The room was also in a mess. In addition to instant noodle boxes, tissue paper and other daily sundries, there were also many prayer beads, paper charms, crystal statues, crosses and so on.

With a glance, Chinami was sure that none of the things in this pile were useful.

Miss Sato also followed Chinami's gaze, and a red tide appeared on her pale face: "When I was just entangled, I really didn't know what to do, so I could only search everywhere for things that were said to be useful. They are useless. Fortunately, I have invited you."

Speaking of this, Qian Naimei couldn't help being curious: "May I ask, how did you know about Chang's family?"

It stands to reason that the name of the exorcist will not be known to ordinary people.

Larger forces may be able to inquire about the existence of the exorcist through layers of connections, such as the Yuechuan group a few days ago.

It is very rare for an ordinary person like Ms. Sato, who is weak and weak, to take the initiative to contact Chang Yimen, unless Ms. Sato's family has contact with exorcising demons, or the ancestors are engaged in this kind of business.

"You really think highly of our family." Ms. Sato smiled wryly, swept away a pile of messy things on the table, and brought a glass of lemonade for Chinami. ..."

She stopped suddenly and glanced at the doorman sitting beside him. The latter quickly lowered his head and took a sip of his own hot tea.

Chinami was suspicious, turned her head to look at her subordinate, and was shocked to find that this doorman was about the same age as Ms. Sato, and they looked like a good match.

Is it possible...

"It's because," Ms. Sato murmured, clenched the cup in her hand, and lowered her head again, "I saw a small advertisement on the side of the street that belongs to Changyimen."

Chinami Chang: "..."

The gatekeeper: "Cough." He tilted his head and defended himself, "Isn't this the family who just came to Saitama City, and they want to make a name for themselves as soon as possible and expand the group of business targets..."

Dechang Chinami glared at him, and when she turned to Ms. Sato, she regained her image of an amiable, calm and reliable exorcist: "So that's how it is. You and Dechang Yimen are destined."

"Fate?"

"Hmm. Otherwise, even if there are some ... advertisements, you won't see them just in time. It's still early, please tell me what happened to you again."

Miss Sato shook her body, and her voice trembled like a pampas grass in a strong wind: "I was entangled by it, probably more than a month ago..."

***

Ms. Sato had an Ichimatsu doll that accompanied her since she was a child. It was a gift she got on Doll's Day when she was eight years old. Ms. Sato even named the doll "Fujiko".

As she grew older, Ms. Sato became less and less interested in the doll "Fujiko".After she went to college, "Fujiko" was sealed in a cardboard box with Ms. Sato's other old things.

Three months ago, when Ms. Sato moved, she accidentally opened an old cardboard box and found "Fujiko" inside.

As a childhood doll, Ms. Sato still has a lot of affection for "Fujiko", so she put it in a glass box and put it on the cabinet as an ornament.

But more than a month ago, Ms. Sato accidentally broke the glass box while cleaning, and the "Fujiko" in the box was also separated.

Ichimatsu dolls are originally made of paulownia wood and hufen. Unless it is a professional craftsman, it is difficult for ordinary people to repair it after breaking it.

Ms. Sato was busy with work, so she didn't have time to find a puppeteer to help repair it, and thought that maybe the puppet was broken, it was fate that hinted that she wanted to say goodbye to her childhood self.

Under various excuses, Ms. Sato threw the broken "Fujiko" together with other garbage.

Unexpectedly, from then on, Miss Sato's nightmare began.

The first time I got a call was on the seventh night after throwing away "Fujiko".

At that time, Ms. Sato had just come out of the shower, when she heard the phone ringing, she connected it without even looking at the screen. As a result, a little girl's voice came out of the phone: "Moshi Moxi, is it Sato?"

While wiping her hair, Ms. Sato wondered which relative's child it was, and said, "It's me, who are you?"

"I'm Fujiko. Sato, do you want to forget me like this? I'm back to find you."
