"Death" I thought it was just a monster

"Hi ~ Classmate Xing."

The signature book in front of them, as well as the smiling duo, and the squad leader who was also smiling behind them.

"What is it?" I took the pen handed over by Yamaguchi.

"It's a joint application to use the old school site~" Inoue enthusiastically helped me turn to the blank page and said while I was signing. "We're going to have a test of courage~"

"Oh~? Seems interesting." I smiled, and then glanced at the squad leader standing behind the two of them. "The squad leader thought it up?"

"That's right, the class leader who usually looks gentle and quiet, actually held a test of courage, wow~ It's interesting to think about it." Inoue hugged his good friend Yamaguchi, pretending to be weak and shy. "Shan. Kou. Jun. When the time comes, I will leave it to you to protect~"

"Ah~ Isn't it always my duty to protect you?" Yamaguchi lifted Inoue's chin and said deeply.

"Yamaguchi!"

"Inoue!"

The two people clasped their fingers and looked at each other affectionately.

"...Student Xing, don't worry about the two of them." The squad leader with veins emerging pushed away the duo of Huabao, "Can you come when the time comes?"

"How long is the time? If you ask for leave in advance, there should be no problem." I smiled.

"It should be next Saturday."

"Ah, yes." I nodded. "At that time, we can gather around and tell ghost stories." I raised my finger. "I know a lot of interesting ghost stories~"

"Really? I didn't expect Xing to like these things too." The monitor with bright eyes. "That's it. We can finish the ghost story telling game in advance."

"No problem." I looked at my watch. "Ah, I'm going to be late for work. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

While running, I vaguely heard the conversation behind.

"Nah~ I didn't expect Xingying to be so talkative~"

"Ah, she always goes to work after school, so she lacks a lot of communication, so that's why it makes people feel unapproachable?"

"..."

The following words gradually became inaudible.While trotting, I raised my hand and looked at my watch. There are still 10 minutes, so it should be too late.

After leaving the school gate, you will see a peaceful pastoral scenery along the slope. After walking through this section of the road, you will find individual quaint houses.

The green forest is lush, a peaceful and warm scene, especially now under the orange sunset, it is even more leisurely and content, and people can't help but want to slow down and savor it slowly.

But I can't be slow, because I'm going to be late for work.

Jump over the field ridge, prop up with one hand, and climb over the railing.Then when he was about to land, he looked around in embarrassment.

very good!Nobody or anything.No one saw it when the skirt flew up just now! (make a fist.)

"Sorry, I'm late."

Lifting the curtain, I first bowed to Uncle Tsuji behind the counter, then hurriedly lifted the side panel of the counter, put my schoolbag in the locker below, and then took out my scarf and turban to put on.

"Ah! The timing is just right. Uncle Tsuji smiled heartily, showing his white teeth." The preserved fruit and red bean paste buns you made yesterday sold well. "

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Tsuji, for teaching me." Knowing that what you make is popular is a happy thing.After I washed my hands and dried them, I went to the uncle. "Hey, uncle, let me make today's preserved fruit too?"

"Hahaha, I knew you would say that. The things are ready, hurry up, or you will be late when you go back."

"Hi~" I turned to the kitchen excitedly. Before I went in, I glanced at the road half covered by the shop curtains, and only saw the dark lower body standing under the shade of the opposite tree.

As a baby who could see clearly, I knew that this place was definitely not normal neon after I noticed that my father's eyes were silver and my mother's hair was purple.But I don't dare to draw conclusions about which animation it is.

But it must be abnormal.

My parents died in a car accident when I was 3 years old, and I spent the first ten years boarding at a distant relative's house. To be honest, changing schools is already a very common thing for me. Compared with other people who also experience the loneliness and dislike of children, I am completely like normal child.

Except for one thing.

Can see different things.

At 8:[-] in the evening, I came out of Uncle Tsuji’s store, and I took the preserved fruit and red bean paste stuffed by Uncle Tsuji, which he said were not sold out.He paused as he walked into the shade.

A huge head, a black robe, stretched out a hand.Repeatedly in a dull voice.

[I'm here to enjoy the food.I'm coming... I'm coming. 】

It's a pity that no one saw or heard it at all, it was just the passing of laughing and talking, and then in the dead of night, when the crowd dispersed, only the terrifying monster who had been stretching out his hand and waiting quietly remained.

sigh.This is the snack that my uncle finally left for me.I took out a bean paste bag from the paper bag.Put it in that oversized hand.

"Come on, let's eat."

The huge head bowed its head.His dark eyes looked at the food in his hand, and then looked up at me.

【Thank you.Please let me help you clean the dishes in return. ] Serious, hollow male voice.

"Uh. I don't have any dishes for you to wash."

【Thank you.Please let me help you clean the dishes in return. 】

"No, no, no." I waved my hand behind me and walked under the streetlight. "Hurry up and go back to the mountains after eating."

I bit my bean paste bun and walked slowly to where I lived.

The distant relatives who had boarded me before pushed me to other people for various reasons. Later, Grandma Hanako accepted me. Unfortunately, she passed away before I could get along with her.

Because I was a widowed old man, the house was given to me when he died.And the only thing I can repay is to come and help her with her affairs.

But ah...

I glanced at the black shadow passing by.

There are really a lot of monsters here...

Grandma Hanako, I now believe that you told me in your letter that you had met Lushen before, and you are not lying to me...

By the way... which cartoon did I time travel to... TT

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ara, it's Sakura, come back so late?"

Under the streetlight on the opposite side, there is a neighbor with a small bag.

"Aunt Tazi." I bowed slightly. "This is you?"

"Ah, my relatives are in a hurry. By the way, Sakura. If you need any help, please come to me."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Tazi. Please go slowly~" I watched her go away with a smile, then rubbed my cheeks.

Ahh... so sour.

After returning home, first incense Grandma Hanako, and then go to the kitchen to make simple ramen.After the noodles are ready, put a little bit in a very small bowl, put it on the window sill, and then open a little slit.

[Today is still delicious ramen~] The old man sighed. 【It's a pity that there is no wine...】

[When Hanako's husband was still there, there was wine hidden under the tree, why don't we steal some? ] Another old man's voice.

[Let's go, I'll accompany you. 】

I sat cross-legged in front of the tea table with the noodles in my hands, and ate them without looking sideways.

【You said that we ate the noodles that Sakura put on the window sill every day, so she didn't doubt it? ] The first old man to speak.

【Haha, Sakura always thought it was a stray cat who ate it, right?What a kind child. 】

No, I just hope that the four of you wash up and go to sleep as soon as you finish eating. As old people, even monsters don't make trouble so late every day... I picked up the bowl and finished the noodle soup with a sullen face.Then he cleared the table and got up to wash the dishes.

After taking a bath, after making sure that the doors and windows on the first floor were closed, I went upstairs to my room on the second floor.Behind him came singing from the kitchen.

[Hahaha...you must drink until dawn today~~] An old man smiled heartily.Then there are echoes.

All right.I pressed the veins that burst out of my head.

I think I need earplugs today too.

After closing the door, the laughter and laughter below were slightly cut off, only vaguely coming up.It's a pity that even though I have been able to see and hear sounds that shouldn't exist for more than ten years, I still can't get used to a little noise when I sleep.

Turn on the computer, and I start my second job today.

As a 14-year-old junior high school student, I have almost no source of income.Although the parents have left a considerable amount of inheritance, after all, they can only be accessed after they reach adulthood.

So now I have to rely on part-time jobs and online writers to make money.

That’s right, web writers.I'm a very famous ghost talk writer on the Internet.Specializes in ghost stories and monsters.There is also a lot of money for manuscripts every month.

Logically speaking, as long as I write articles, I can satisfy my life, but because my dream is to open a dim sum shop when I grow up, I try to find a dim sum shop to work as much as possible.After all, I don't have more money to support me to spend money to learn pastry making.

I have almost learned the traditional Japanese pastries, and I think I can learn to make some western pastries sometime.But when I think of the expensive raw materials and the expense, I feel a headache.

I want to save money to open a store in the future, so I can't spend money indiscriminately.

It took less than an hour to write a short story of 8000 words.After hitting send, I turn off my computer and go to bed.

For other writers, writing requires ideation and creation.And I just need to write down the monsters I met today like a journal.

In this way.I close my eyes.The laughter downstairs was clearer in the quiet space, bringing a sense of liveliness and warmth.

Although sometimes it is troublesome, seeing a monster is not so annoying...

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

Seeing monsters isn't all that annoying!

I closed my eyes and pressed down the cross tendons that were about to burst.What is going on with this guy who has always been like a repeater?

[Please let me help you clean the bowl as a reward. 】

Take a deep breath, and then continue to add water and knead the noodles.

[Please let me help you clean the bowl as a reward. 】

Add a little bit of sugar so that the dough will have a hint of sweetness when you eat it.

[Please let me help you clean the bowl as a reward. 】

Press and hold the trembling hand, and introduce an appropriate amount of fresh milk. When it comes out of the oven, there will be a milky fragrance.

[Please let me help you clean the bowl as a reward. 】

"If you say this to me again, I won't give you leftovers tonight." After making sure that Uncle Tsuji was busy outside and didn't pay attention to the movement in the kitchen, I lowered my voice and said to the monster next to me.

【…】Looked at me with big empty eyes, then lowered his head slightly.Looks a little aggrieved.

[No... Please also let me help you clean the bowl as a reward for yesterday's leftovers. 】

you win.

If it weren't for the flour on my hands, I would really want to cover my face in frustration.

"Okay, did you see the utensils over there? Please clean them up for me." I pointed to the used tableware in the sink and emphasized. "Sure. Don't be caught washing dishes by anyone other than me. Please." I don't want to be seen by others flying dishes and cleaning cloths in the air.

The monster didn't speak, but stood beside me very quickly and started cleaning.

I sighed, and although I didn't speak, I always felt that there was a dog's tail growing out of its back, and it was wagging happily.

Well, let's take it as helping Uncle Tsuji to reduce his workload.

Because of the help of a certain monster, I left the store earlier than yesterday.Walking out of the store, the paper bag contained the dim sum that was said to be sold today.

I looked around, went to the shade, and put the snack on those big hands.

"Hey, for you."

Empty eyes looked at the snack in his hand, and then looked up.

[There are also today. 】

"Yes, this is the leftover from today's sale, so please accept it."

[Please let me help you clean the bowl as a reward. 】

"Hey hey, please take care of me tomorrow too." I slumped my shoulders and argued with the innocent and stubborn monster. More than ten years later, I was still the one who lost.

"From now on, I'll give you three yuan of snacks every day. Then you can be considered a salaryman."

I waved my hand without looking back, and turned back after walking a long way.The monster whose name I don't know is still holding a snack, looking at me with empty eyes.
