My tenants are monsters

"Asakura Huali?!"

When Shiraishi Rin announced the name, Nogi Maki was startled.

The middle-aged shopkeeper nodded after being stunned for a while: "Yes, that's the name."

"Actually..."

Rin Shiraishi and Maki Nogi looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

In comparison, Shiraishi Rin's surprise was actually a little lighter.

She had known for a long time that Huali Asakura might be related to the violin. After all, the skill [playing the violin] was obtained after killing her wraith.It's just that I didn't expect to hear her name again from the owner of this musical instrument shop in such a coincidental way.However, Nogi Maki's understanding of the Xiaobailou incident was limited to the information found on the Internet, so she seemed a little frightened at this time.

"Can... tell me what you know about her?"

Looking at the owner's expression, Shiraishi asked slowly.

——Although the probability is not high, it cannot be ruled out that the shopkeeper may have made a mistake or lied.

After all, the name Asakura Huali is not particularly rare. Tokyo is so big, there is a possibility of the same name, and what Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki said just now may have caused some kind of hint to the owner, maybe she has seen it before. That girl's surname is not Asakura at all, but a similar surname like Asakawa and Asakura...

The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled: "I don't know much about it. I just met her a few times and talked to her a few times... But she plays the violin really well, which is close to a professional level. And she doesn't seem to have met a famous teacher, and she has been practicing hard in the park by herself. Among all the guests I have met, she can be said to have one of the best musical talents.

By the way, one of her favorite songs is "Moonlight"..."

"ah!"

Nogi Maki exclaimed a little, and looked at Rin Shiraishi worriedly.

Although Rin Shiraishi said that he learned the violin in West Tama County, but...

The same violin, the same "Moonlight", and Shiraishi Rin had just come into contact with Asakura Huali in Xiaobailou... Such a combination of several coincidences makes things not so simple.Somewhat in line with the elements of supernatural stories, legends such as ghosts possessing people and resurrecting corpses are not uncommon in Japan.

"nothing."

Shiraishi smiled softly, then looked at the shopkeeper again: "Then, what happened next?"

"Later... I never saw her again."

The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed: "During that time, I heard that there were several murder cases in the University of Tsukuba. Several students died unexpectedly within a few months. It was said that it was related to ghosts, which was very strange. And those accidents Among the students who died were several members of the light music department, so after that, the light music department of Tsukuba University began to decline...

I don't know if she was among those children, or she might have moved away. "

"..."

Rin Shiraishi asked a few more questions, but the middle-aged shopkeeper could no longer think of any information about Huali Qiancang. When practicing the piano, there were several scars on his face, which were said to be caused by "accidentally slipping and falling while walking".

Xiaobailou's music classroom, light music department, campus bullying...

Shiraishi faintly felt that there was an invisible line emerging between these keywords, but because of the lack of key evidence, it was not easy to make a direct conclusion.

"Go back and ask Misato Shimoshima..."

In the week or so between the time when the Special Division entered Tsukuba University and the smooth settlement of the Xiaobailou incident, the Special Division should have investigated information about Asakura Huali, right?

In fact, this aspect has nothing to do with Shiraishi Rin, mainly because she is curious.

And from another perspective, figuring out Qiancang Huali's experience and cause of death during her lifetime will also help to understand the principle of the formation of such creatures as "wraiths", and provide reference materials for similar things in the future... among other things , the Iwata family in Shiraishi's apartment may be all vengeful spirits. Rin Shiraishi wanted to do some investigation before, but she put it on hold temporarily because of insufficient information.

soon.

Shiraishi Rin paid for the violin.

The transaction price was [-] yen, which was within her psychological expectations.

I spent another [-] yen to buy a violin bag and put the violin in it.When I carried the shoulder strap on my back, it was just able to protrude a little from the side of my shoulder, and it was even with my forehead.From the back, it looks like a musical girl.

"By the way, do you have a slightly larger bag?"

Bai Shilin visually measured the height of the violin bag, and suddenly asked.

"Bigger? The length of this kind of musical instrument bag is generally fixed, because the size of the musical instrument is basically the same. If there is too much space in the bag, the musical instrument cannot be fixed in it, and it may bump into bumps... ...if you really need it, you can make it special."

The middle-aged shopkeeper explained.

"Oh, that's all right, I'll just ask..."

Volume 92: Chapter [-] [Healing Technique]

What Shiraishi Rin originally thought was, if the violin bag was bigger, would it be possible to stuff Muramasa directly into it, so that he would not have to "draw the knife from the void" every time he used it, and if someone noticed it, there would be no harm at all. Law explained.

But this is not a big problem, as long as you pay attention to it a little bit, normally it will not happen that the village is used in front of the public.

After buying the violin, Shiraishi Rin accompanied Nogi Maki to the nearby shopping mall for a while.

By the way, I helped Sachiko catch two dolls.

After Xiaobailou's actual combat practice, coupled with the increase in spiritual power after taking [Peach Tree Demon Sap], Shiraishi Rin's control of spiritual power can be said to be as good as his arms and fingers, and it is easier and more comfortable when catching dolls .At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, several people came out of the mall with a few bags of things, ending today's shopping trip.

"Will Xiaolin and Xingzi come to my house for a sit-down? My house is quite big, can we play video games together?"

Nogi Maki suggested.

"No, next time..."

Rin Shiraishi waved his hand, and asked casually, "Maki, do you also like playing games?"

Dongying's game industry is one of the pillar industries. It is as popular as the animation industry, but it is mainly concentrated in console games and mobile games. to the TV.On the contrary, there are very few players who use computers to play large-scale online games.

When Shiraishi Rin bought a computer before and came back, she originally had the idea of ​​playing a few online games, but after learning about this situation, she temporarily dismissed this idea and changed to using a computer to watch videos and search. news.

On the other side, Nogi Maki nodded: "Yes, I usually play video games, and occasionally play some online games... Because my parents are busy with work, it's just me and the servant at home most of the time, so I only I can entertain myself by myself.”

"……maid?"

Shiraishi blinked.

She knew that Nogi Maki's family was good, but she didn't expect to be so rich... Even if it's just the most common part-time domestic worker, the monthly expenses must be a lot of money, which is not something ordinary middle-class families can afford up.And if Nogi Maki mentioned more than one servant, and if they were full-time servants... then her worth might be extraordinary.

However, Shiraishi Rin was friends with Nogi Maki, not her family, so although she was shocked when she first heard it, she didn't take it too seriously.

After saying hello, the two waved their hands, then turned around and went back to their respective homes.

……

[Favourability -250, [Healing Technique] exchanged successfully! ]

After arriving home, Rin Shiraishi took off his slightly sweaty clothes and threw them into the laundry tub, then changed into thin home clothes, and first exchanged the [Healing Technique] in the system mall.

Then he used a fruit knife to cut a small cut above his left forearm, then spread out the palm of his right hand and covered it.

As the spiritual power in her body surged, a misty white brilliance emerged from her palm, bringing a cool feeling to the top of her forearm, followed by a burst of itching.When Shiraishi Rin took his palm away, he saw that the wound that was still oozing blood just now had healed as before. It was only when he got close enough to identify it carefully that he could tell from the slightly pinker and tenderer granulation that it was a new one. grow out.

"With this kind of skill, do you no longer need to go to the hospital?"

This idea flashed in Shiraishi Rin's mind, but she also knew it was impossible.

Because [healing] can only heal "injuries", but not diseases.Infections, organ lesions, etc. caused by viruses probably do not belong to the scope of action.Even if it's a simple internal and external injury, if it's bleeding, a puncture, or even a severed limb... I'm afraid it's unlikely to be completely healed.

And this kind of skill is not convenient to try repeatedly like [Mind Power].

Shiraishi Rin has no habit of self-harm...

"I remember that among the group of stray cats nearby, there are some wounded on their bodies, right? You can test them when you go out to feed the cats next time. Although they are not the same as the human body, you can still refer to them..."

Next, Rin Shiraishi replaced the [air humidifier] again.

This one is cheaper and only needs 20 favorability points, so she doesn't feel much pain.

Then plugged it in in the living room and tried it out.

The usage is no different from that of a normal air humidifier. It is all about adding water and plugging in the electricity, and then the humidifier decomposes the water into white mist beads and sprays them out.But when Shiraishi Rin consciously approached and sniffed his nose, he immediately felt clear-headed, as if he had just eaten a mint, and it was a bit like drinking [Peach Tree Demon Sap] ], but much lighter.

the other side.

A small piece of white mist drifted over to the cat climbing frame.

The three kittens, black, white and orange, were already on the ground, but at this moment they suddenly became excited again, raising their heads one by one to inhale the mist dispersed in the air, among which the more lively little black cat even got out of the cat nest , move closer to the humidifier.

"The composition of these mist beads should indeed have 'spiritual energy'..."

"And not only the human body, these ordinary animals seem to be able to absorb..."

Then, as a cat demon, Sachiko Ogino must be the same.It's just that I don't know yet whether these fogs are useful to the wraiths, but even if they are, it is impossible for Shiraishi Rin to go to Iwata mother and son to do experiments for him.

"Sleep well and stop making noise, or else I won't feed you cat food tomorrow."

Seeing the little black cat getting closer and closer to her, Shiraishi Rin turned off the humidifier, then picked up the back of the little black cat and put it back into the cat's nest, and gently pressed its neck with her fingers. Until the latter stopped his intention of crawling out, Shiraishi Rin withdrew his right hand and returned to the bedroom with the humidifier in his arms.

Although from a general point of view, absorbing spiritual energy should be good for the three kittens, after all, the black, white and orange are still too young, and they may overeat even eating cat food, let alone expect them to absorb spiritual energy in a controlled manner .Therefore, it is necessary to wait for specific experiments before deciding how to maximize the effect of the [humidifier].

There is also [Dynamic Vision].

However, after exchanging the first two items, Shiraishi Rin's favorability is no longer enough to exchange for this. Fortunately, the difference is not too much, and it should be enough to wait two more days.

And she doesn't need this ability for the time being, so there's no need to be in a hurry...

Volume 93: Chapter [-] That friend you mentioned, isn't it...

That evening, Shiraishi Rin played the violin for a while in the bedroom.

After dinner, she took several bags of white pears she bought, and visited all the tenants in the apartment building one by one, starting with Ogino's mother and daughter in 103.By the way, he apologized for his piano practice and asked if it would cause disturbance to the people.

According to Shiraishi Rin's original intention, he wanted to observe the attitudes of the tenants.

Especially Centipede Dazang.

After all, most of these tenants are ghosts, and they may not think the same as humans in many ways. As long as one of them shows impatience with her actions, Shiraishi Rin will decisively move the place where the piano is practiced outside. grove or the nearby Sumida River.

But when they knocked on the doors of 104 and 201, a little accident happened.

Takaichi Shimizu of 104 is a student of the Music Department of Tokyo Metropolitan University. Although he focuses on theory, he also has some research on musical instruments. When he learned that Rin Shiraishi was playing the violin just now, he exchanged music theory knowledge with her excitedly. Shiraishi Rin couldn't handle it.In the end, Shimizu Takaichi took out a few music books from the bookcase and insisted on giving them to her.

Bai Shilin declined a few times, but when he saw that the kindness was hard to turn down, he accepted it.

Anyway, she also sent fruit snacks to 104 a few times, which is considered a normal reciprocity.

In Room 201, Shimoshima Misato also expressed some extra curiosity about Shiraishi Rin.

"I really didn't expect Miss Baishi to be so versatile, and she also has such a dabble in music theory... By the way, I will go to the dojo opened by my friend's house tomorrow to practice kendo. Miss Baishi, do you want to go together? The dojo is not far from here It’s too far away, I’ve already been there a few days ago, and it’s only about 10 minutes’ drive from Minamisenju, which should be closer than going to Tsukuba University.”

"Dojo? Yes."

Shiraishi Rin nodded in response.
