My tenants are monsters

"may be."

Shiraishi Rin was deliberating what to say.

In fact, she herself doesn't know the details of Mimiko Mizunuma. This otaku manga artist is the tenant Rin Shiraishi knows the least about.

Shimoshima Misato pondered for a while, and then asked quickly: "Then, Xiao Rin, do you know where the comics she draws are published? I'm quite curious, and I want to read them."

"Then I don't know..."

Rin Shiraishi shook his head: "Ms. Mizunuma's situation... is a little special. She is different from most people in character, and she doesn't like to deal with others, so sister Shimoshima, you should not contact her too frequently, because that would be the opposite. It's easier to arouse her resentment."

Ok……

Having said that, Rin Shiraishi also really wants to know the name of Mimiko Mizunuma's masterpiece.She has been to Mimiko's room several times, and she knows that this girl likes to draw supernatural comics with ghosts and gods, and the style of painting is so realistic that it doesn't look like a painting, but rather like a real ghost. Like pressing on the drawing board.

I don't know if this kind of work can be published in an official manga magazine...

However, with Mimiko Mizunuma's autistic personality, it's more like drawing for fun by herself, anyway, she shouldn't rely on that little manuscript fee for living.And whether the kind of supernatural comics that focus on exaggerating the horror atmosphere can be recognized by comic readers in this world is still a matter of debate.

Next, Rin Shiraishi visited the two tenants on the third and fourth floors.

The Baizu Dazang in 303 has not changed much until now, and it still doesn't give people a good look, even her landlord is the same.But he finally took the fruit, nodded stiffly, and closed the door.

But the Iwata family in 401 is relatively familiar. After experiencing the incidents of Xiaobailou and Inugami, Shiraishi Rin did not have much fear of this family of suspected wraiths, but regarded them as an ordinary family. tenant.He even began to wonder if they, like Huali Asakura, had unresolved obsessions.

If the answer is yes...

Maybe try to get some goodwill out of them?

ps: Happy New Year's Eve, the third shift is over today, see you next year~

Volume 158: Chapter [-] Want It All! (The first update in the Year of the Tiger!)

But these things are just thoughts for the time being.

Based on Rin Shiraishi's own feelings, and the information he got from Sachiko Ogino during this period, both the Iwata family and Mozuku Dazou are existences that are no less powerful than Inugami—the former may be slightly less interesting, but the latter It is definitely a monster stronger than Inugami, and its ferocity is not too bad. If Rin Shiraishi does not have the identity of a landlord, but is an enemy of Baizu Dazang...

Then this old man may be a tougher opponent than Inugami.

Even Shiraishi suspected that Baizu Dazang might have killed many exorcists outside, but she didn't know it.

Therefore, even if the latter are willing to speak out their obsessions, Shiraishi Rin may not have enough ability to help them.

"Well, in short, let's start with these unsolved cases in the special class, practice your skills, and then try to get in touch with the Iwata family at a deeper level..."

Shiraishi Rin made up his mind.

……

On the afternoon of the third day after communicating with Shimoshima Misato, the policewoman investigated Asakura Satoru's information and sent it to Shiraishi Rin on LINE: "This is what you want, take a look Are there any omissions, and besides, do you need me to help you get in touch with him?"

"Rin: No need, it's already troublesome Sister Shimoshima to find these information."

After thanking Shimoshima Misato, Shiraishi Rin clicked on the file in the chat box and probably read it.

"It turns out that Asakura Satoru has remarried..."

and.

"So the Asakura family's new address is really in Setagaya?"

It seems that the middle-aged aunt has a good memory.

When I asked her at the former site of the Asakura House before, the "Setagaya or Meguro" she gave was actually closer to the real answer, but the accuracy was not enough... No matter which of these two districts, They are all located in the southwest corner of Tokyo, and basically have a diagonal relationship with Arakawa District. In the past, it was not as easy as going to Bunkyo District.

What's more, even in Setagaya Ward, it will take some time to find the address mentioned in the document.

Rin Shiraishi thought about it for a while, and planned to check the route first, and then take a day to go there this weekend or next time.

"Say..."

After finalizing his attention, Shiraishi Rin hesitated again, and frowned unconsciously——

Setagaya Ward...

She always felt that the name of this district was very familiar.

If I remember correctly, the place where the fire that Mr. Gu Chuan mentioned at the beginning seems to be here too?

According to the information she brought back from Mrs. Guchuan, the fire happened 11 years ago, and the time when Asakura Satoru moved out of Bunkyo District was two years ago, so there must be a relationship between these two things. is not directly related.However, if time permits, she can take advantage of this trip and check the place called Naruya Hospital to see if she can find any clues related to the Iwata family.

If this goal is also added, then the plan of this action needs to be carefully planned.

The next two days were spent peacefully.

What happened at Otowa Academy is basically a turning point.

This is also partly due to Inugami.

If Inugami hadn't appeared, the special class might have to continue the investigation for a while, but now, after dealing with such a thrilling and supernatural incident as the Inugami incident, they don't bother to care about Kumamoto's affairs.The son of a mere middle school principal, although he was a bit powerful, he was nothing compared to those big shots, and he died because of his chaotic private life... Maybe it was the soul of the female teacher he killed that escaped Revenge?

Since the other party only killed Kumamoto and did not implicate anyone else, there is no need to hold on to it.

The police force of the special class is far more valuable than ordinary police, so there is no need to waste too much time on these matters.

Fast forward to Friday.

This afternoon, Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki finished their duty at school together, then left the school together, and parted at the intersection.Nogi Maki originally wanted to ask Shiraishi Rin to go out on the weekend, but she politely refused. After all, she already has an appointment this weekend, and she is going to help the special class with Misato Shimoshima to deal with supernatural events. It may not take two days. Enough, so it can only be "definitely next time".

After returning home, Sachiko heard Shiraishi Rin's footsteps, and ran over excitedly again, and played with her cat in the living room for a while.

When it was time for dinner, the little girl reluctantly went back to eat.

And Shiraishi Rin also served himself a meal and sat at the dining table. After eating and washing by himself, he took a look at the list of malls refreshed this week:

[Current exchange list:]

[Light novel creation (beginner): Familiar with light novel writing skills, able to write simple light novels, need 30 favorability points]

[Speech (Elementary): Proficient in speech skills, can skillfully mobilize the audience's emotions in the speech, need 30 favorability points]

[Haiku (Elementary): Proficient in haiku creation skills, can skillfully create Japanese-style haiku, need favorability 30]

……

[Fighting technique (intermediate level) (7% discount for a limited time): Proficient in fighting techniques of various schools, and mastering them well, proficient in techniques, requires a favorability of 95]

[Charm: It is derived from the ability of the Japanese monster [Yaohu]. It can charm others and drive them to obey their orders. It requires a favorability of 300]

[Golden Light Curse (Vol. 500): An ancient spell originating from China's Dragon and Tiger Mountain. It can construct spiritual power into a golden light to protect the whole body. It requires [-] favorability points]

In this week's redemption list, there were a few things that caught Rin Shiraishi's eyes.

[Creation of light novels] is what she wanted to exchange for a long time ago, and it appeared on the list this time, which is considered to have fulfilled her wish.

And the rest...

[Haiku] and [Speech] are excluded first, and [Charm] is actually quite useful after reading the explanation, but Shiraishi Rin also excludes it after thinking about it... If you can exchange the price with the fighting technique, or fight If it's [-]% off, Shiraishi Rin still doesn't mind exchanging it, as a backup means to deal with unexpected needs.

After all, this thing is in the nature of magic, and it should not be necessary to sell the hue like in some movies or ghost novels. The latter Shiraishi Rin will never be exchanged...

But the price tag of 300 favorability points made her discouraged, and she always felt that the price/performance ratio was too low.

As for the remaining two, Shiraishi Rin's plan is to have them all!

Volume 159: Chapter [-] Archives of the Special Class

Needless to say, martial arts, the rare 7% discount, the price of 95 points is rounded to almost free.No exchange for nothing.

And the Golden Light Curse...

Bai Shilin has heard of this spell before. It is said that it is the unique skill of Longhushan Tianshi Mansion. It ranks first among the eight great magic spells of Chinese Taoism. It is rare to appear on the exchange list. There is no reason not to exchange it.The previous [Three Points of Swordsmanship] has already shown a good ability to exorcise evil spirits, and the Golden Light Curse is even better. It can be said that it is the most cost-effective thing that has been found in the system store so far!

The only problem is that this kind of spell originated in China may not be convenient to use in front of special classes, because its source is difficult to explain.

No matter how miraculous West Tama County is, it is impossible for Shiraishi Rin to learn this skill.

Unless her pair of cheap parents who have passed away are a pair of Taoist priests who eloped from Longhu Mountain in China, and then stole the unique knowledge of Tianshifu before leaving... I am afraid that even in novels, I dare not write like that.

Therefore, I can only exchange it first, take time to practice quietly, and see if there is any way to conceal its true origin.

It's time to reveal it.

That's what Shiraishi Rin planned.

She has accumulated a lot of favorability points during this period, and she even got a lot of favor points from Asakura Huali during the campus festival, so 595 points of favorability points can still be obtained, and at the same time, she can only take out so much. have any balance.After the exchange was completed, Rin Shiraishi tried out these two skills.

It is not easy to verify the power of martial arts when you are alone, at most you can only practice routines in the air.

(It seems that I still have to buy some sandbags or wooden dummy stakes at home, otherwise these melee combat skills are not easy to practice...)

But the Golden Light Curse is different.

When reciting the mantra that naturally appeared in his mind, Shiraishi Rin saw a golden light gradually emerge from his hands, and then gradually spread to other parts of his body. When seeing this golden light, floating There was a slight fear on the face of Asakura Huali next to her.

However, it may be because the Golden Light Curse is only scrolled up, Shiraishi Rin soon discovered a flaw-as she covered more parts of the body with golden light, the golden light became thinner and thinner, so that In the end, I couldn't even see clearly, and my ability to exorcise evil spirits was probably reduced to the extreme.

Simply covering the hands with golden light, the light looks very strong, but the limitations are too large, just like holding two short swords constructed with spiritual power.

The speed between the two is not easy to grasp, and it probably takes more time to practice slowly.

As for what Shiraishi Rin can do under the blessing of the Golden Light Curse...

It is unknown.

Because there is no object to test the power of.

But as far as the intuitive feeling of Asakura Huali, who is a wraith, she dared not approach Shiraishi Rin who had used the golden light spell at all, because she always felt that she might be killed by her.Even just when witnessing the existence of that ball of golden light, Asakura Huali had the illusion that her body seemed to melt away at any time. It is already full.

Bai Shilin thought that maybe he could find an opportunity in the future to try the lethality of the [Golden Light Curse] in places with rumors of ghosts.

In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday.

This morning.

Shimoshima Misato came to the corridor on the first floor early and knocked on the door of Room 100.

"Morning, sister Shuangdao."

Bai Shilin had just eaten half of his meal, and when he opened the door, he was still clutching a piece of omelette that he had just fried: "Sorry, I slept late yesterday, and I woke up a little later today, and I just ate now... Sister Shuangdao Want to try it?"

Shimoshima Misato smiled, raised her hand and declined politely: "No, I came here after eating...how about you eat first and come back later?"
