My tenants are monsters

but……

anorexia?

Rin Shiraishi recalled the situation of the tenant in Room 204.

In my impression, this freelance girl often orders takeaway, and I don't feel why she doesn't like eating, but since it is recognized by the system as "anorexia", there is no need to question it.So Rin Shiraishi quickly focused on the key points of this task——

"Hands-on cooking".

So the cooked food bought from outside will definitely not work.

that……

Does cooking instant noodles by hand count?

However, if you really have anorexia, you may not be able to eat instant noodles.

After thinking over and over again, Shiraishi Rin made up his mind and decided to exchange for one [Cooking (Elementary)], and then make some food and send a copy to everyone in this apartment building.

Since feeding Sachiko Ogino can gain favorability points, theoretically, all the residents in the apartment should be able to gain a little bit.It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to test the situation of the Iwata family, which can be regarded as an investment in advance. Anyway, with 30 favorability points, as long as Sachiko is around, it is easy to get back...

[Favourability -30, [Cooking (Elementary)] successfully exchanged]

As the text prompts from the system floated in front of his eyes, Shiraishi Rin felt that there were a lot of things in his mind suddenly, thinking that it was still early for the decoration workers to come over, so he went to the convenience store to buy some vegetables and rice noodles and came back after thinking about it , and started cooking.

Wagashi, rice balls, tamagoyaki...

They are the simplest Japanese dishes, similar to Huaxia’s croquettes and egg rolls. They don’t take much time to cook, and they are mainly cheap.

When the end of the month arrives and before the latest rent is collected, Rin Shiraishi can only count the tens of thousands of yen in cash left in his hand and try to save as much as possible.

After the pots of dim sum are freshly baked, Shiraishi Rin uses the disposable lunch boxes prepared in advance to package the items one by one, and when five servings are made up, he turns off the fire and stops the stove, and then holds the item in his hand, from The Ogino mother and daughter in room 103 started, and each family sent them up.

Volume 18: Chapter [-] Who do you want to kill?

There are a total of 7 tenants in White Rock Apartment.

But now there are only five households who live here. Among them, Takaichi Shimizu in Room 104 is a college student. He went on a trip during the summer vacation and is expected to come back when school starts at the end of the month.There is also a tenant in room 404 who is not there in May, but because the latter seems to have paid the rent for the next 30 years at one time when he moved in, Rin Shiraishi doesn't care.

The remaining five households are the Ogino mother and daughter at 103, the late detective Koukawa Koufu at 202, Mimiko Mizunuma at 204, Mozuzu Daizo at 303, and the Iwata family at 401.

"The number of tenants is still a bit small..."

Judging from this, we can't collect a few rents in a month.

Shiraishi Rin felt that it was necessary to post small advertisements outside, or post a rental statement on the Internet to attract customers to his apartment.Otherwise, if a tenant like Mr. Gu Chuan suddenly hangs up every now and then, his second-generation real estate career will be in jeopardy. After graduation, he will inevitably have to work as a 996 social animal like in his previous life...

"By the way, there are so few tenants in this apartment, it can't be because someone died before..."

Shiraishi Rin suddenly came up with this guess.

The predecessor moved here from Nishitama County. When the relevant departments went through the transfer procedures, they did not ask Shiraishi apartment in detail. The information learned later was also obtained from the materials left by Shiraishi Genichiro.

As for the past of this apartment, neither her predecessor nor her as a time traveler knew anything about it.

But thinking about it now, even if the location is not good, as an apartment in Tokyo, the occupancy rate can't even reach 30%, which is a bit too shabby.

Perhaps, next time you can find a chance to ask Mitsui Shouichi, this question is related to your own apartment and your own safety. If this police officer knows, he should reveal a little bit to her...

[Favority (Ogino Yoshie) +5, Favorability (Ogino Sachiko) +10]

[Favourability degree (Baizu Dazang) +1]

[Favourability (Sadako Iwata) +5]

Rin Shiraishi put Mimiko Mizunuma's task at the end, and went to several tenants on the first, third and fourth floors in turn.

Except for 303's Baizu Dazang who was extraordinarily indifferent and added little favorability, the behavior of the others was no different. 401's Sadako Iwata also warmly invited Shiraishi Rin into the room, but she refused with a guilty conscience After falling, he went back to the second floor and knocked on the door of room 204.

After a few minutes, the door opened from the inside, and a pale face appeared in sight.

According to the data, Mimiko Mizunuma is 22 years old, but it may be that she has been in the house for too long. The actual face of this girl is a little smaller, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long black and straight hair, but the whole body is exposed There was a cold air that strangers should not enter. When he saw Bai Shilin outside the door, he was only slightly startled: "You are?"

"I'm Rin Shiraishi, the current manager of this apartment building. I made some food at home just now. I thought sister Mimiko lived alone, so I brought some for you."

Bai Shilin smiled brightly: "Would you mind letting me go in and have a sit?"

"..."

Mimiko Mizunuma obviously cared a little bit.

But Rin Shiraishi pretended not to notice, and stood cheekily at the door for a while longer. Mimiko Mizunuma, seeing that she retreated despite the difficulties, seemed too embarrassed to chase her away, so she could only make way for a passage, and said in a blunt tone: "Please." Come in."

……

When Rin Shiraishi entered Room 204, the door of Room 303 on the upper floor suddenly opened, and Mozuzu Daizo, who was wearing an old-fashioned kimono, came out of the room with a bag of garbage in his hand, and after closing the door slowly, Lift your feet and walk downstairs.

Said it was "garbage", but it was actually the snacks that Rin Shiraishi had just sent over.

This approach is obviously very shameless, but fortunately, it was not done in front of Shiraishi Rin, so there is still some leeway.

Because of his age, this former bank clerk, who looks to be in his 70s or [-]s, seems to have a bit of trouble in his legs and feet. When going down the stairs, his movements are very slow, and he has to pause almost every step.

The wooden clogs stepped on the steps, making the sound of thumping footsteps.

Just when Baizu Dazang came to the first floor of the stairs, a man wearing a black peaked cap sneaked in from outside the apartment building. When he looked up and saw Baizu Dazang who was about to take out the garbage, his expression seemed to panic. Then subconsciously touched a sharp weapon in the pocket of the jacket.

Four eyes facing each other.

Baizu Dazang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully at the peaked cap a few times. On his old face, there seemed to be more wrinkles.

Brief silence.

The two people who were separated by a few steps looked at each other, as if they were guessing each other's identity.

Suddenly, Baizu Dazang asked in a hoarse and dry voice:

"Who... do you want to kill?"

When he said this sentence, Baizu Dazang's tone sounded very flat, as if he was saying "Have you eaten yet?"However, Matsumoto Yoshiyasu, who was already in a state of mental tension, trembled all over his body, and suddenly became terrified. He took a step forward, took out the dagger from his arms, and growled:

"Damn old man, mind your own business! Otherwise, I will kill..."

At the same time that Matsumoto Yoshiyasu rushed forward, a gurgling black air also centered on Baizu Dazang and diffused into the surrounding corridors.

I saw that the body of the retired employee suddenly began to swell from the head, and in just a short breath, he turned into a huge mouthpart, and made a biting movement towards Matsumoto Yoshiyasu!

Only a split second!

"?!"

Matsumoto Yoshiyasu opened his eyes wide suddenly, before he even had time to utter an exclamation, he was swallowed by the mouthparts from the top of his head, and then followed the huge shadow silhouette in the black air with a movement of shaking his neck, and fell into the shadow In the abdomen, the black air quickly gathered.The whole process takes no more than three seconds, or even less.

When everything subsided, Matsumoto Yoshiyasu, who had just been standing at the entrance of the corridor, had disappeared.

Baizu Dazang also returned to the appearance of that ordinary old man, smacking his lips, as if aftertaste.

"Ok?"

Baizu Dazang turned his head and looked into the depths of the corridor on the first floor.

In that direction, a small figure holding a bowl of fish soup just came out of room 103, and seemed to be sending the fish soup to 101 at the entrance of the corridor. It seems to freeze at this moment.

VOLUME 19: CHAPTER [-] MORE AND MORE

The next moment, Yoshie Ogino, who was a mother, strode to the corridor outside, grabbed Sachiko by the nape of her neck and collared the little girl into her arms, and watched Mozuku Dazo with a vigilant expression.

After about five or six seconds, I heard...

"roll!"

Bai Zu Da Zang uttered a deep scolding from his throat, and then continued to walk to the trash can outside.

It wasn't until the figure of the old man disappeared at the entrance of the corridor that Yoshie Ogino took Sachiko back to the room as if nothing had happened, and the door closed again with a "snap".

……

When the scene downstairs happened, Rin Shiraishi, who was the apartment manager, was still in Mimiko Mizunuma's room, quietly observing the environment here.

As a young girl in her twenties, Mimiko Mizunuma's room looked very simple.

There is almost no decent furniture in the living room, just a sofa and coffee table, and there are many easels placed beside it, but they are not the oil paintings or ukiyo-e commonly seen in art exhibitions, but black and white comics.The overall painting style tends to be weird, either a human body lying in a pool of blood struggling to crawl, or some ghosts with green faces and fangs...

Every painting is so lifelike, it's like a photo taken on the spot.

Even if you just walk beside these easels, you can feel the eerie feeling coming from the picture.

The bedroom inside is closed because the door is closed, and the interior decoration cannot be seen, but it is estimated that it is not much different from the outside. Maybe the cartoons placed there look more terrifying.

"Hey, it turns out that Mimiko-san is a manga artist, these paintings look so beautiful..."

Shiraishi Rin opened his eyes wide on purpose, made a surprised expression, and praised against his will.

Although she said so on her lips, she was actually a little flustered in her heart.

I originally thought that only the Iwata family was weird, but now it seems...

Why does this Mimiko Mizunuma look abnormal?

Rin Shiraishi also knows that judging a person by his comics is somewhat arbitrary.

After all, Dongying has a lot of supernatural legends. Since ancient times, there have been sayings such as "eight million gods" and "thousand-year-old ghosts walking in the night". Even in the world of her previous life, there are many Japanese cartoonists who specialize in painting horror. The subject matter does not mean that there is a psychological problem.

but……

As an ordinary person who doesn't have much contact with these things and doesn't have much appreciation for painting art, she can only make evaluations based on her own intuitive feelings, she still instinctively came up with this idea in her heart, and even began to doubt Mizunuma Mimi. Whether the son is not a normal human being.

In any case, the pictures on those easels are a bit too real, they don't look like they were imagined out of thin air, and they give people the feeling that they are about to climb out of the easel at any time...

"..."

Mimiko Mizunuma didn't speak, but just looked at the thing that Rin Shiraishi was carrying in his hand.

"Oh, this is wagashi I made myself, as well as sushi, tamagoyaki, fried shrimp, tofu soup, freshly squeezed plum juice... I don't know what Miss Mimiko likes to eat, so I brought a few more , want to try it?"

Rin Shiraishi withdrew his gaze from the easel and tried to speak softly.

The snacks she sent to Ogino and her daughter before were all the same, except for the special ones for Mimiko.

After all, according to the information given by the system, this girl is suffering from "anorexia", and ordinary meals and snacks may not suit her taste, so she specially prepared two servings of soup.Even if you can't eat other things, at least soup, water, and so on should still be edible...

Mimiko Mizunuma followed the movements of Rin Shiraishi's hands, looked at the lunch boxes placed on the coffee table, her lips moved, her tone was still blunt and indifferent:

"Thanks, I'll try it."
