My tenants are monsters

"...It was dug out from a hole in a tree near the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara. I don't know who hid it there, but I found it by accident."

Shiraishi Rin thought about what Izayoi said just now, and at the same time lied without blushing:

Of course this is a lie.

But Asakura Izayo really couldn't confirm it.

After a brief silence, Izayoi spoke again: "Okay, although I can't tell who the owner of this severed hand is, this thing is indeed a good magic weapon material, I can help you ask, Does anyone want to buy it? Regardless of the answer or not, I will help you keep it a secret, and please Xiao Lin, please hide this thing properly, so that the ghost girl Hongye and Wuyueji will not find it."

In fact, according to Izayoi's original idea, he wanted to help Shiraishi Rin save this severed hand.

After all, the ghost girl Hongye has now lived in Shiraishi's apartment, and the distance between Shiraishi Rin and Shiraishi Rin is too close. It can almost be said that they live under the same roof.If the handling method is a little more relaxed, it may be just to snatch the ghost hand away, but if it is a little more intense, it may be a big fight, repeating the previous Baizu Dazang incident.

Even if it is the Hundred-legged Great Treasure, if it is destroyed without any scruples, it can cause dozens of hundreds of casualties.

And once a monster of the level of the ghost girl Hongye ignited a real fire, it would only take a few minutes to destroy an entire street.

However, from another point of view, since this incident has never happened, it means that Shiraishi Rin has special hiding skills, which can keep the evil spirit of this severed hand from leaking out.Just like just now, before Shiraishi Rin took out his severed hand, Asakura Izayo himself didn't notice anything strange.

That being the case, it might be safer to leave things in Shiraishi Rin's hands.

And for Shiraishi Rin himself...

She actually doesn't care.

Originally, she chose to take out the ghost hand at this time, but in fact she had the idea of ​​selling it to Asakura Shrine. Even if the latter didn't want it, she could help matchmaking and find other suitable buyers.With the status of Asakura Shrine in Tokyo, doing this kind of thing is definitely more convenient and secretive than the special class, which can avoid many troubles.

"Then, please take care of Izayoi sister."

Shiraishi Rin said.

Basically, everything that needs to be discussed in this meeting has been finished, and after a few brief chats, Shiraishi Rin drank the half cup of coffee in front of him in a few sips, and was about to leave.

Asakura Izayo also stood up: "As for the matter of the ghost girl Hongye and Wuyueji, I will leave it to you, Xiao Rin. If there is any change in the future, you can contact me at any time. The special class will determine a person as soon as possible." Check-in list for Whitestone Apartments, and will contact you for your opinion before actually taking action.

in addition……"

Izayo paused for a moment, lowered his voice slightly, and spoke in a slightly weird tone: "If there are other supernatural events in your apartment, like Bai Zu Da Zang, you can also contact me. After all Since Bai Zu Da Zang was able to disguise himself as a human being and hide in Shiraishi's apartment for such a long time, it cannot be ruled out that there are other ghosts who have done the same thing as him...Are you right, Xiao Lin?"

"...Understood, I will pay more attention."

Shiraishi Rin faintly felt that there was a hint of meaning in Izayoi's words.

This girl is considered to be the best in terms of strength among all the exorcists she has encountered so far, and she is also from the family of Asakura Shrine, so she may not have mastered spells similar to [Demon Fox Perception].Even if he hadn't met the Ogino mother and daughter, Hayami Iris and others, it should be perfectly possible to realize that there are other monsters in Shiraishi's apartment.

Coupled with the fact that Baizu Dazang exposed his identity...

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable to suspect that there are other ghosts in the tenants of Shiraishi Apartment, and even to investigate the cases related to the tenants of the apartment, including the Kumamoto case, again.

I didn't break it on the spot, maybe because I didn't think it was necessary to say it yet.

Therefore, Shiraishi Rin also tacitly tacitly understood.

The two left the cafe side by side.

Asakura Izayo ordered the police officers from the special section to send Shiraishi Rin back, while he stood on the side of the street with Nohara Hiroshi, saying that he had other things to deal with.

Shiraishi Rin waved his hand through the car window, and after saying goodbye to the two, he leaned on the back of the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

It was already six o'clock when we returned to Nansenju.

The sun has set, and the sky is a little dark.

Shiraishi Rin bought some fruit at the convenience store and returned home, hesitated for a moment before the entrance of the corridor, gave up the idea of ​​going to the ghost girl Hongye or Ping Wuyue immediately, and planned to talk about it the next day.

After all, the identities of these two tenants are different from those of other tenants. If they are too deliberate to be courteous, it may arouse suspicion and even reduce the acquisition of favorability.

Especially the ghost girl Hongye, this guy is an out-of-the-ordinary monster, and it is not surprising to do anything, so it is better to keep some distance.

……

Another day passed slowly.

In the afternoon, after Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki trained together in the Kendo Department for a while, they packed up their things and left early, and went back to their apartment.

First went upstairs to 404 and knocked on the door.

Volume 356: Chapter [-] Visiting Sadako Iwata

The reason why I called 404 first was to confirm whether Ping Wuyue was at home.If you are here, you can chat with this person first, whether it is a few words of politeness or business.

The knock on the door, which was deliberately suppressed, sounded in the corridor.

After nearly ten seconds, no one answered.

"Huh? Did you go out?"

Rin Shiraishi pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement in room 404. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and took two steps back, looked at Iwata's house in 401, and raised his hand to knock on the door again.

This time, the door opened quickly.

Standing at the entrance was Sadako Iwata.

Seeing Shiraishi Rin appearing in the corridor outside, this full-time "housewife" with children at home raised her eyebrows slightly, as if a little surprised, then smiled: "It's Miss Rin, I haven't seen you for a long time Come here, what's the matter?"

"Ah, yes, there is something I want to talk to you about...can I go in and talk about it?"

After hearing Shiraishi Rin's question, Iwata Sadako hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways and let the door open: "Of course it's no problem, please come in."

"Thank you."

Rin Shiraishi nodded, and then stepped into the living room of Room 401.

To be honest, Shiraishi Rin really hasn't stepped into Iwata's room for a long time.

The last time she came in, it seemed that she was helping the Iwata family repair the lights during the summer vacation when she just traveled here.After that, she basically never entered 401 again, and even if she gave some snacks and fruits, she just stood in the corridor.

The reason, of course, is very simple. The main reason is that I didn't know the details of the Iwata family, and I was a little worried that if I acted rashly, I would violate some taboo of the other party, which would bring disaster.After confirming the protection mechanism of the apartment for the owner, this worry has actually been weakened a lot.

Therefore, on the premise that Wu Yueji and the ghost girl Hongye's move-in is temporarily finalized, this hidden danger that has been delayed for several months should be eliminated first.

——To be exact, it’s actually not a hidden danger.Perhaps the strength of the Iwata couple is not inferior to that of Baizu Dazang who left before, but no matter from the past few months of getting along, or from the various investigations of the Naruya Hospital fire by Rin Shiraishi during this period, the Iwata couple is actually still clear. , The character is relatively reasonable, and there are no monsters with bad habits such as cannibalism.

Therefore, Shiraishi Rin felt that he even had the hope to win these two into his teammates.

"... Iwata-san isn't home today?"

While changing shoes at the entrance, Shiraishi Rin glanced into the living room and asked casually.

"Oh, the company has been quite busy recently, so Yongta often works overtime until very late during this period, and he should be back after seven or eight o'clock... Does Miss Rin have something to do with Yuta?"

Iwata Sadako responded, and then beckoned Shiraishi Rin to sit on the sofa, poured a glass of water and pushed it over, and asked with a smile on her face.

Dongying's social animals are still very busy, and overtime is very serious, especially in a fast-paced modern metropolis like Tokyo, where it is quite common.

Moreover, Dongying people have actually formed a habit of working overtime. Even when they leave work early, they will go to the izakaya to have a few drinks and go home until late.Because if you go home too early, you will often be considered as dispensable in the company. Only those who work a lot of overtime will be regarded as "useful" people...

For ordinary human beings, this kind of overtime culture has nothing to say.

but……

Iwata Yuta is not a human being. Although Shiraishi Rin is still not sure what his real identity is, there is a high probability that he is also some kind of special ghost. He is so busy with work, and even has to work overtime at night... It is a bit confusing. what to say.

Could it be that ghosts are still short of this salary?

"Is that so..."

Rin Shiraishi put his thoughts back, glanced at the bedroom where Toshio Iwata was in, then looked at Sadako Iwata on the opposite side again, took a deep breath, and said again: "I think, you should know that I am The purpose of coming here?"

"To put it simply, I now know the fact that you and Brother Toshio are not human, but I still don't know your exact identity. Now that Mr. Baizu Dazang has left the apartment due to an accident, I don't want to see the same thing happen again, so... ..."

After a pause, Rin Shiraishi added: "By the way, I probably know something about Mr. Genichiro. He should know your identities very well, right? If you don't mind, just treat me as him." Now, you can trust me as you trust him."

Previously, in the conversation between Rin Shiraishi and Mimiko Mizunuma, it was not mentioned whether Genichiro Shiraishi knew the real body of the Iwata couple, but there is a high probability that there is.

And judging from the fact that the Iwata family has been living quietly in the Shiraishi apartment for so many years, the relationship between the two should be pretty good.

Maybe these people, like Mimiko Mizunuma, were indirectly rescued by Genichiro Shiraishi...

really.

After hearing Shiraishi Rin's question, Iwata Sadako was silent for a moment, and stopped talking several times during the period, and finally sighed: "I understand. But before answering your question, Miss Rin, I want to ask a question first." Question. Is the new tenant on the third floor this time the ghost girl Momiji from Mount Togakushi?"

"Yes."

Shiraishi Rin nodded curtly.

This time, Sadako Iwata was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "It really is her. It seems that the secret of this apartment is hard to hide any longer."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Rin Shiraishi raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was something in Sadako Iwata's words.

And the latter also showed a puzzled expression: "Didn't Mr. Xianichiro tell you these things?"

Before Shiraishi Rin could answer, Iwata Sadako nodded, with a clear expression on her face again: "Yes, Mr. Genichiro was gone before Miss Rin came from Nishitama County..."

"..."

Shiraishi Rin said nothing.

In fact, she hadn't even seen Genichiro Shiraishi at all, and her understanding of the latter basically came from the household registration information she saw from the police when she first came to Tokyo.But the Iwata couple, who are tenants, should not be very clear about these situations, so there is no need for her to correct them deliberately.

Iwata Sadako said a few words with emotion, and quickly continued: "Yes, in fact, Toshio and I are not human beings, and...he is not the child of Yuta and me."

"Oh?"

Volume 357: Chapter [-] Sister?

It seems that Sadako Iwata is really planning to confess this time.

After realizing this, Shiraishi immediately cheered up, fixed her eyes on the face of this woman who appeared to be a housewife, and concentrated on waiting for what she would say later.

And Sadako Iwata didn't mean to be tricky: after a short moment of deliberation, she said: "Miss Rin, you should already know the identity of Mimiko Mizunuma on the second floor, right?

Yuta and I moved into Shiraishi's apartment, actually only a little earlier than her, and my identity is the same as hers, a ghost left behind after death.It's just because I was a psychic host with spiritual power...to be precise, an onmyoji, and my spiritual power is much stronger than ordinary people, so even after I become a vengeful spirit, I can still maintain my sanity , and possesses abilities beyond ordinary wraiths..."

"As for Junxiong...

His physique is rather special, and it was formed entirely by a coincidence, but in general, you can regard him as a kind of zombie, just like the Miss Hayami Iris who just moved in recently, only slightly different in type. different.Perhaps, it is more appropriate to use half life and half death to form. "

Iwata Sadako thought for a while before using this statement.

"..."
