"It's in front of you." He said, smiling: "This is a relaxing place. If you have experienced the days of hiding in the trenches, eating compressed biscuits and drinking unfiltered water, then every serious meal All meals are worth cherishing.”

Yukinoshita nodded silently, she understood what the boy was talking about.

"So, at least in the process of enjoying the food or waiting for the food, there is no need to be so restrained." Mochizuki said, pointing to the rows of wooden signs hanging on the wall: "My treat is to keep you waiting for a long time." I have apologized, do you want to try it?"

"Thank you very much."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked carefully at the menu of the restaurant on the wooden stick, pointed to one of them and said, "That... I have eaten at noon, let's have a taiyaki."

"Uncle, add more vegetables!"

"heard it!"

Said Hashiro Ichiro, and before long, he placed a tray full of dishes on the table in front of the two of them.

"Tonkatsu set meal, Taiyaki, I've been waiting for a long time."

"grateful."

Pulling the tray, Mochizuki Kaoru served Yukinoshita a plate of dim sum with crispy and tender skin, and then picked up the ceramic bowl, sipping the light miso soup.

"Ha... bliss, bliss."

Like a middle-aged guy coming home from get off work with a cold beer.

The girl glanced at him, carefully picked up the palm-sized taiyaki, blew on the warm skin, and took a bite.

chapped.

The aroma of wheat, the sweetness and warmth of red beans, the sweetness under the light salty taste, and the wonderful taste, all exploded at this moment, cleared her taste buds in an orderly manner, and slid from between her teeth and tongue. Gone, eventually poured down the throat and slid down the esophagus.

This was a taste completely different from any food she had ever tasted. As the second daughter of a local prominent family, she couldn't help but began to suspect her own ignorance and ignorance, and wondered what her chef was doing to feed the livestock.

"Well……"

His face was flushed, and he let out a mouthful of sweet breath, Yukinoshita closed his eyes, involuntarily immersed in this wonderful feeling.

"I see. You want to say... Even if you have stepped into this dangerous world, you must know how to stop and enjoy life."

"……what?"

Mochizuki Kaoru put down the half-bitten tonkatsu and looked at her in surprise.

"Uncle, what kind of medicine did you put in it?"

"Poor reception."

Wiping his freshly washed hands with a dry towel, Saibajo Ichiro said with a smile.

"You are too modest, this is the most perfect taiyaki I have ever tasted." Yukinoshita Yukino responded seriously, the plate in front of her was already empty, not even crumbs left.The young girl's attitude is very correct. In her opinion, the handsome middle-aged man in front of her has the ability to stand out at any time.

"It's not too modest, he always says that every time a guest finishes eating."

Mochizuki Kaoru took out a few banknotes from his pocket, but without counting them, he stuffed them into Saibajo Ichiro's hands like this: "I'm taking care of you, store manager, it's still the same, the rest is dinner."

"No problem, I'll save you a bigger beef patty."

"I am looking forward."

After speaking, the boy stood up, hummed an unknown tune, and walked out the door.

"He seems to be in a good mood?" the girl asked.

"Yeah, he does this every time he's full." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "I like this guy. You don't have to be too polite or playful with him. This kind of person is almost extinct."

"It's just that what is said occasionally can choke people to death." Yukinoshita made a rare joke.

"Ah, couldn't agree more."

"—Hey, are you talking bad about me?"

The boy's head poked out from the door, slightly tilted.

"Let's go, dreamer classmate, we still have business to do."

"Well, are you still struggling with that sentence?"

She stood up in distress, said goodbye to the store manager, and then trotted to follow the back of Mochizuki Xun who turned and left.The middle-aged man smiled and walked into the kitchen again, scrubbing the stove while sighing.

"That's great, young."

Behind the wrought iron gate is a carpeted hallway. The girl put her shoes into the shoe rack beside her, and stepped on the wooden floor with her feet in black knee socks. The warm coolness made her feel extremely comfortable.

"Sit casually. The first floor is the living room. I usually receive clients here."

Turning around the corner of the hallway, a small living room comes into view. Although it looks a bit old, the exquisite decoration makes this old feeling glow with a special charm brought by the passage of time.

The wallpaper mainly in dark tones, the furniture mainly made of wood in primary colors, as well as the carvings and patterns with just the right details, and the ornaments that can be seen everywhere but not overwhelming, all together create a classical and elegant atmosphere.The girl carefully sat on the fabric sofa and couldn't help but look around. The subconscious tension brought about by her first contact with a strange environment was unconsciously replaced by leisure.

"Do you like it? The layout here."

It can be heard that there is undisguised pride in Mochizuki Xun's tone.

"Yes, it is a very stylish and comfortable arrangement." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded: "Did you design it? It is admirable."

"Thank you." He smiled and said, "Coffee? Tea? Juice? Milk? Coke?"

"Thanks, the juice will be fine."

She didn't see any electrical appliances, but when the teenager opened a wooden carved cabinet door, revealing the refrigerator inside, she belatedly realized that the three-dimensional star map hanging from the ceiling might be a ceiling light .

So those little things that seem to be everywhere began to arouse her interest. After careful identification, she recognized the Rococo style candlestick-shaped lamp, the coffee machine in the shape of a cloisonné enamel vase, and the lotus flower. Leaf-shaped fruit baskets, recognized an ancient bronze gramophone, and various interesting props.

thump.

A glass of strawberry juice was placed on the coffee table in front of her, and there were thin drops of water on the outer wall of the glass.

"Please use."

"sorry to bother you."

The girl thanked politely, but did not rush to pick up the cup.She straightened her mind, looked at Mochizuki Xun sitting on the sofa in front of her, and then asked hesitantly, "Have you lived here for a long time?"

"It's not too long. I just moved here three weeks ago." The young man poured himself a glass of Coke and said, "The things in this room were all stored in Hokkaido before, but for convenience, I simply brought them here."

"It's really hard to tell that it doesn't look like it's just moved in."

"It's just old-fashioned, it's not difficult." He waved his hand: "What you really want to ask is definitely not these trivial details. You don't have to go around with me."

"So much the better."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the glass of strawberry juice and took a sip, the just right sweet and sour and refreshing temperature lifted her spirits.

"Student Mochizuki, what exactly do you do?"

"The one who opened the shop."

As if guessing the question the other party was going to ask, the boy answered without thinking.

"You should have seen the sign before entering the door, Abnormality Office. My job is to deal with inhuman things, weirdness, anomalies, or other problems that ordinary humans can't handle."

He drank half a glass of Coke in one gulp, closed his eyes, and relieved the irritation caused by the carbonic acid.

"You know, this world is not that peaceful, but it's not that chaotic either. For the vast majority of people, even from birth to death, they never have the chance to touch the scales and claws of real monsters, but even so, there are always those who are lucky or Unlucky guy..."

The boy held the cup, as if lost in memory.

"Just like you, actively or passively step into the world of 'this side'."

"My job is to save them, and then ask them to stay or go out."

The girl understands.

"So, I can choose whether to keep this memory, is it part of your work?"

"Yes, I will be responsible for explaining everything, but the final decision is up to you." Mochizuki Xun's voice gradually became a little low: "Think about it, the spider yesterday was just playing around, but there are still many Innocent people die, if you really want to stay..."

"After knowing the existence of 'abnormality', 'abnormality' will also notice you. I will try my best to ensure your safety, and there will always be times when I cannot protect you."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent.

"I know this is a difficult choice. The world that I first come into contact with, which is more magnificent and bizarre than this unchanging life, has a fatal attraction for anyone." The boy sighed: "But those who really choose to stay Not many, they have all seen the chaos and danger under the cover of beautiful scenery, cheap death, and the piano wire tied around their necks.

The girl looked troubled.

"Forgetting is not escaping. You have the right to return to your own, peaceful life. This is beyond reproach. Ordinary people also have ordinary people's wonderful lives. What's more, as the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, you stand on your own feet." In the very high…”

"Meow--"

A soft meow interrupted Mochizuki Xun's speech, and along the wooden spiral staircase leading to the second floor, a small black cat jumped down gently.It landed next to the young man, jumped onto his shoulder again, rubbed his earlobe with the tip of its nose, and the bell tied around his neck with a silver necklace made a nice crisp sound.

"Meowfa?"

The boy subconsciously rubbed the black cat's ears.

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes lit up.

Volume 11: Chapter 11 Chapter [-] Abnormal Office

"Sorry, let's move on."

Holding the black cat off his shoulders, hugging it in his arms, and stroking its back, the boy smiled apologetically.

The cat purred softly in enjoyment.

"As the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, you are born to stand at the end point that many people can't reach in their entire lives. There is no need to just seek excitement... Are you listening?"

"Yes, yes, listening."

The girl quickly retracted her gaze from the black cat, and then sipped strawberry juice to hide her embarrassment.

"...There is no need to choose to stay in this dangerous field just for the sake of excitement. There is no second life for anyone. If the price of satisfying curiosity is precarious, then—"

He hugged the black cat with both hands expressionlessly and raised it up.

So Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head accordingly.

He paused, and put the black cat on his head again.

So the girl's lingering eyes collided with him.

"……what."

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head stiffly, her eyes glanced at the corner of the roof, as if there was something worth admiring there.

Mochizuki Xun helplessly squeezed the space between his eyebrows with his fingers.

"Let me introduce, this is Meowfa." He patted the black cat on the forehead lightly: "My partner."

"partner?"

"Yes, partner."

With one leap, the black cat jumped off the boy's head, and landed on the coffee table in front of Xueshita accurately.It raised its head and gave a soft "meow".

The girl felt her heart was pierced.

Looking at its pale golden pupils, Yukinoshita Yukino stretched out her hands tremblingly, gently stroking the pair of small ears, the smooth fur, and the warm touch directly transmitted from the palms to the brain.

Meowfa turned her head and rubbed her fingertips.

"Student Mochizuki, what did you mean by 'partner' just now?"

The voice was surprisingly calm, but there was an imperceptible trembling in the calmness. The girl held the black cat in her arms, and asked while rubbing her cheek against its cheek.

"Literally, it's my partner—you saw it last night, that knife." The young man smiled: "Miaofa Qianzi Muramasa."

The girl blinked her eyes puzzled.

The black cat staring at her also blinked.

"You mean, Meowfa...is a knife?"

"Yes, the ominous demon sword in the legend, the taboo of the Tokugawa shogunate, you have seen even the bride, this level of 'abnormality' is nothing, right?"

Xun Mochizuki beckoned, and the black cat broke free from the girl's arms, bounced and landed on the boy's head again.

"Twice cat food a day, no excretion, no shedding, no heat, understands human language, has a good personality, and can help me kill people at critical moments. She is the best partner."

Meowfa wagged her tail triumphantly.
