My tenants are monsters

Bai Shilin coughed lightly, and did not use the excuse that he "learned cooking in West Tama County" as before.Because her cooking skills did not start until after time travel, even if the memory of her previous life is added, she only started to practice after her parents passed away and she started to live alone.This skill is just an ordinary household skill, no one pays attention to it, and there is no need to deliberately conceal it.

After dinner, it was already evening.

The sky outside the window is dimming, and the moon is on the tip.

Shiraishi Rin and Sachiko first cleaned up the pile of cups and plates on the dining table, and then went out to take Nogi Maki from the door of the apartment to the [-]-chome subway entrance.

When parting, Shiraishi Rin thought for a while and called softly: "Wait, Maki."

"Ok?"

Nogi Maki was already about to enter the station, but when she heard her shout, she stopped, looked back and smiled: "What's the matter, Xiao Lin, do you have anything else to say?"

"There is one more thing. I almost forgot it just now, but it's too late to say it now."

While speaking, Shiraishi took out a small square card two fingers wide from his pocket, which looked like pure silver in terms of color and texture, with dense patterns engraved on it, like some kind of special runes, with a faint The golden light flows among them:

"The mahogany sword I gave you last time was broken. I happen to have another good body protection artifact here. It should be more useful than the mahogany sword. Carry it with you and it should protect you safe and sound."

[Safe Talisman].

Naturally, Rin Shiraishi exchanged this item from the system store and gave it to Maki Nogi.

She originally thought about giving the Gouyu Necklace she was carrying, but she felt that the Gouyu Necklace had been used for a while, and the protective effect might be weakened. At the same time, necklaces are obvious and easy to damage, so she just used the first one. The peace talisman opened for the second time is better.

"This... is a bit too expensive, isn't it?"

Nogi Maki's eyes moved, a little hesitant.

As a magic weapon, the appearance of the peace talisman is indeed much better than that of the previous jade necklace and mahogany sword. It belongs to the kind of product that can be sold at a high price even if it is sold as a handicraft.So Nogi Maki was a little embarrassed to pick it up for a while.But Shiraishi Rin exchanged it to give it to Nogi Maki, so it is impossible to take it back.

"It's okay. Although it looks expensive, it's really just a very common magic weapon. If you're sorry, just treat me to milk tea next time."

Rin Shiraishi said pretending to be relaxed, and handed the talisman to Maki Nogi.

"...Then thank you, Xiao Lin."

Nogi Maki finally took the talisman, and muttered: "I just broke a mahogany sword, Xiao Lin, a few days ago, and now I want to take another talisman from you. It's not good to ask Xiao Lin to help you all the time." I'm sorry... I'll give you a gift, Xiao Lin, in a few days, although it may not be comparable to the value of these magical artifacts, I hope you don't dislike it."

"Oh? What kind of gift?"

Bai Shilin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.

Nogi Maki pursed her lips and smiled, raised a finger in front of her lips, and made a silent gesture: "It's still a secret now, it's a gift, if you say it too early, there will be no surprises. Just know."

"...Well then, I'm looking forward to it."

After hearing the girl's response, Rin Shiraishi smiled and stopped asking.

According to her thinking, this gift is likely to be a greeting card, handicrafts, or cosmetics... Between girls, it should be more common to give these items, anyway, it will be good to keep them as souvenirs when the time comes Well, it shouldn't take up much space.Although the original intention of sending the [Peace Amulet] was not to ask for a gift in return, but in order to make Nogi Maki feel at ease, she would not refuse.

Unless this return gift is really too expensive...

Next, Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki waved goodbye outside the station.

Watching the girl swipe the card to enter the station, and after the figure disappeared in the station, Shiraishi Rin turned around and started to go home along the same road.

After arriving home, Sachiko still hadn't left.

Because it was too late, and she had just eaten a full meal, Shiraishi Rin couldn't entertain this little girl with any more delicacies, so she just told her to go home early to rest and prepare for class tomorrow, and went to the bathroom to take a shower as usual I took a shower, then scrubbed and went to bed.

……

Rin Shiraishi originally thought that Nogi Maki's "gift" would take some time to arrive.

After all, there are no festivals or special anniversaries such as birthdays during this period. Moreover, it should take some time to prepare gifts, and it is impossible to complete them too quickly.

But didn't expect...

Only two days later, on Tuesday of the second week, Nogi Maki's gift was delivered to the door of Shiraishi's apartment by courier.

Volume 193: Chapter [-] [Demon Fox Perception]

The contact number of the recipient is Shiraishi Rin, and the time may have been reserved in advance, and it happened to be delivered when she came home from school.

But this gift was not any kind that Rin Shiraishi had guessed before.

Instead, there are several cardboard boxes, each of which is not small, and two of them are nearly one meter high. They look heavy, and you can clearly feel the weight contained in them when you push them.It took a lot of effort for the little brother who delivered the courier to move it off the courier car.

After repeated confirmation with Nogi Maki on the phone, Shiraishi dared to sign for these packages, and asked the courier to help move the things to the 101 gate where he lived.

After the courier left, Shiraishi Rin opened the door, then used his thoughts to lift up several boxes, and put them into the living room at once.

Next is the time for unpacking and assembling.

That's right, "Assembly".

Because the gift sent by Nogi Maki is not a single item, but a complete set of things from the TV, to the matching TV cabinet, to the handle, to the game CD... That's why it takes up such a large space and weight.Almost half of the things in the courier car just now were to be sent to Shiraishi's apartment. If it weren't for [mind power], Shiraishi Rin might not have been able to get all these things into the room so easily.

Even if they are brought in, it is a lot of work to take them all out and place them in their proper positions.

It is estimated that Nogi Maki also knows that her [mind power] can do this, so she sent so many...

In the process of unpacking, Shiraishi Rin also checked the trademarks of these gifts on the Internet with his mobile phone.

Although she doesn't know much about the differences between brands and models in this world, the general grades can be seen relatively easily. It is conservatively estimated that the total price of this batch of "gifts" is at least 40 yen or more, converted into soft girls. The currency is more than 2 yuan.Among them, the TV accounted for 15 yen, and the TV cabinet was almost 10,000+ yen.

Even in Japan, this price can be regarded as relatively high-end.

"so……"

Was Nogi Maki's family so rich?

Shiraishi Rin actually discovered this when he was a guest at Nogi's house last time. After all, Nogi Maki's parents both work in banks and belong to the financial elite, and their income is naturally many times higher than that of ordinary people.

However, according to what the girl said on the phone before, it was entirely her own idea to buy these things, and she bought them with the pocket money she usually saved, and did not borrow any money from her family. This is why Shiraishi Rin dared to sign for the things s reason.so……

40 yen... "pocket money"?

Shiraishi Rin suddenly felt that there might be something limiting his imagination.

Speaking of which, Rin Shiraishi now has some savings on hand, a few months of rent plus the income of working for special classes, and there are more than 200 million yen left after excluding various expenses, which is equivalent to half a year's wages of ordinary social animals .At the age of just over 17, she is definitely the highest-income rich class in her age group. Even compared with those adults outside, she can barely squeeze into the ranks of high-income groups.

But "savings" and "pocket money" are two different concepts.Even if he has so much extra money in his hand, Shiraishi Rin will definitely not buy such expensive things, but will try his best to save money.

So there is no doubt that Nogi Maki is really a little rich woman who hides her secrets.

For a moment, Shiraishi Rin even had the idea of ​​asking for support...

After moving the old TV to one side, Rin Shiraishi assembled the new TV cabinet on the side of the living room according to the instructions and the steps that Nogi Maki just said on the phone, and then connected the various plug-in cables of the TV one by one. OK, put it on top.Fortunately, her mental power can complete the assembly and moving work out of thin air, so she doesn't need to do it herself.But even so, Shiraishi Rin still spent nearly an hour to tidy up these things.

Then I moved the replaced old TV and cabinet to the balcony, and prepared to take the time to dispose of it as waste.

After finishing all this work, Shiraishi Rin returned to the sofa in the living room, took a general observation, and made a little adjustment to the position of the TV cabinet.

"The style and color of the TV cabinet match the wall pretty well..."

This is not surprising, after all, Maki Nogi has been to Shiraishi Apartment several times, and she must have considered the color matching when choosing these gifts.

But it is indeed very thoughtful to be able to notice even such small details.

After confirming that the power cords were all connected, Rin Shiraishi turned on the TV, and used the remote control to change a few channels to try it out. The senses were indeed much better than the old TVs before.

As for using it to play console games or something, Shiraishi Rin has never tried it, and she doesn't know how to operate it, so she can only temporarily throw it aside, and is going to ask Sachiko to come over to help with research, and the reward is to give her the TV to play games ... It is estimated that the little girl is still very interested in this kind of thing.

……

The new TV thing is just a blip.

In the next few days, Shiraishi Rin will go to and from school regularly as before, and participate in the daily training of the Kendo Department with Nogi Maki. After returning home, she will go to Ogino mother and daughter and other tenants to send warmth and brush up. Sensitivity.It was not until Thursday that she finally accumulated enough points, and on the last day before the system mall list was refreshed, she exchanged for the last thing she wanted in the list that she had previously finalized——

[Fox Perception].

As Shiraishi Rin expected, this ability is actually a "demon aura radar", which can detect the ghost aura in a large area around it through spiritual power.

The scope of this area is quite wide——

A radius of one kilometer, that is, from Shiraishi Rin's current location, that is, Tsukuba Daifu, including a whole block nearby and even a small half block on the left and right sides, all of which are included, with a space of about 300 million square meters .This range is not generally large, it is almost a bug-level ability, and within this range, the closer to Shiraishi Rin, the more accurate the detection result will be.

For example, in the campus attached to the University of Tsukuba, there are two very obvious auras belonging to ghosts.

One of them is located in the teaching building of the first grade, if nothing else...

It should be the "U-turn monster" that she and Nogi Maki met in the volleyball club.

Volume 194: Chapter [-] Exchange List Refresh

Speaking of which, Rin Shiraishi wanted to investigate the details of the "U-turn monster" a long time ago, but due to various delays, he couldn't implement it, and then he simply let it go.

This result is also related to the fact that the U-turn monster himself has not been making much trouble. Except for the previous encounter in the volleyball club, Shiraishi Rin has never had an intersection with her in other places, and he has never heard of haunted rumors in this regard.If it wasn't for the deep enough impression when they met for the first time, Rin Shiraishi might have forgotten that he had such a junior.

It seemed that this guy really wanted to study hard, and he didn't have any obvious intentions of harming others, so it didn't matter if he let it go for a while.

The other aura comes from the teachers' office building, which is located next to the second-year class b teaching building. Shiraishi Rin has been there several times. According to the pattern in her impression, the location where the aura appears is probably It is on the edge of a certain floor of the teaching building, it seems to be...

bathroom?

Will there be ghosts active in the toilet?

Could it be... that "Hanako"?

Shiraishi subconsciously thought of this campus legend.

During the period when she just entered school, Nogi Maki did tell her about this legend, but Shiraishi Rin stayed at Tsukuba University for several months and never met that "Hanako" face to face.And when the special class came to solve the Xiaobailou incident last time, she had already taken Shimoshima Misato and others to clean up several incredible things in the University of Tsukuba.

Only the last "Hanako in the toilet" remained unsolved.

Now it seems that it may be because she focused on the teaching building at that time and didn't notice the office building, so she missed it.But this is not a big problem, if you have time, you can go to explore it, and that guy shouldn't be a very powerful character.

There is also the east side of Tsukuba University.

"These two evil spirits... should be the Ogino mother and daughter from Otowa Academy, right? The middle school is about 800 meters away from here, and it happens to be within the range of perception."

Rin Shiraishi soon discovered that according to the size of the aura points that appeared in [Fox Perception], one could roughly judge the strength of the opponent. For example, the strongest of the auras just now was Ogino Yoshie, followed by the U-turn monster.However, it is not ruled out that there are some hidden aura abilities that will interfere with this judgment, so it can be used as a reference, but it cannot be completely believed.

After playing for a while, Rin Shiraishi restrained the released perception and prepared to try it in actual combat next time when he helped find monsters in the special class.

Of course, that's not what this week is about.

Because Shiraishi Rin plans to do another thing that has been delayed for a long time this weekend, that is, she has promised Asakura Huali a long time ago, to help her get rid of the second obsession.

——According to the information Rin Shiraishi received from Shimoshima Misato, Asakura Hana's father had moved from Bunkyo District to Setagaya District, and the "Naruya Hospital" suspected to be related to the source of the Iwata family was also in Setagaya District.If you want to come to these two places, even if they are not in the same place, the distance between them will not be too far, and it will only take a few bus stops at most.

In order to avoid having to make another trip in the future, Shiraishi Rin planned to combine these two things into one.
