During his conversations with the girl, Aoba always sighed.
"But nobody wants to be my friend..."
The girl's smile eventually faded.
A hint of melodious sorrow lingered in those gentle eyes.
Only Aoba noticed at that moment.
"They all say I'm a monster... But I can't blame them, after all, not all monsters are good."
"Actually, I've seen monsters too."
Aoba finally smiled at the girl.
"Really?!"
"Yes, there is a very interesting one. He sometimes comes to the restaurant to eat. Although it's a bit of a headache that he doesn't pay, he tells very interesting stories."
"A storytelling monster?! I can't wait!"
The girl's smile returned.
Aoba did the same upon seeing this.
He turned to look into the girl's gentle and calm eyes.
So, will you come again tomorrow?
"Will do."
The girl nodded seriously.
It was as if they were making an important vow.
"Why don't you come earlier? How about 7:30 in the evening?"
Even high school students who needed to work had finished their jobs by this time.
The girl didn't think too much about it.
"Sure."
……
The girl is gone.
Came here and spent 400 yen to drink two bottles of beer and eat a small plate of braised food.
She will come again tomorrow.
Aoba hoped that when she came back tomorrow, the girl's clothes wouldn't be dirty.
Finally, the girl told Aoba her name.
Her appearance seemed to add a special touch of brilliance to Aoba's life.
Unlike other guests.
A girl who can see spirits...
Aoba watched the girl disappear into the night, a glint of light in his eyes.
Reiko.
Natsume Reiko.
"What a lovely name..."
Chapter 39: Dishes to Enhance Demonic Power! A reward from Nurarihyon for his hard work!!
After Lingzi left, the shop became quiet for a while.
Aoba wanted to try making some new dishes.
But the sound of his cell phone alerted him that a text message had arrived.
Although there were all sorts of dazzling apps like in her previous life, Aoba did not develop the habit of playing on her phone.
It is not used very frequently or often.
He gently swiped his finger across the interface.
A message popped up immediately.
It's from Kasumigaoka.
As one of Aoba's few male friends.
Kasumigaoka got Aoba's phone number and friend slot first.
However, the number of times they contact each other via mobile phone is pitifully small.
Most of the time, it's only when the girl can't come over that she sends a message to Aoba to complain for a bit.
[Kasumigaoka: Are you free tomorrow afternoon?]
[Aoba: Yes, what's wrong?]
[Kasumigaoka: My former editor wants to meet me and introduce me to a new editor.]
[Aoba: Then why don't you go?]
【Kasumigaoka: 【○？｀Д′？○】！ The girl explained her reason: she wanted you to come with her. Aoba-kun is such a straight man!】
[Aoba: Sorry, I'm straight, I really apologize. *sticks out tongue* jpg]
[Kasumigaoka: So, will you stay with me?]
[Aoba: What time is it?]
[Kasumigaoka: Two dots!]
[Aoba: Location?]
[Kasumigaoka: Is Shinjuku Station okay? I'll wait for you there.]
[Aoba: Hmm.]
[Kasumigaoka: Shopkeeper, you need to say more when chatting with girls! No girl likes something so boring!]
[Aoba: Smiling.jpg]
[Kasumigaoka:. . . 】
turn off the phone.
Aoba smiled and shook her head helplessly.
He has tons of free time every day.
He had originally planned to go to the pet store tomorrow.
His idea for the backyard today made him really want to get a pet.
But since Kasumigaoka has an additional request, let's postpone going to the pet store for one day.
Anyway, you can go to the pet store anytime.
Tomorrow is a very important day for Kasumigaoka.
Aoba was quite clear about this.
After experiencing ups and downs, the girl finally took this step.
Although changing editors is very common in this industry.
But for Kasumigaoka, who is still a newcomer, this is their first time.
Although she usually appears very mature, she still feels fear when facing real adults.
Naturally, a lack of self-confidence will arise from the bottom of one's heart.
Aoba is quite familiar with Kasumigaoka.
The apparent strength and maturity are just a disguise for self-protection.
The girl is still very fragile.
Kasumigaoka's request for Aoba's accompaniment is actually a very subtle signal of needing help.
If you refuse.
That would be too cruel for the girl who made the request.
"Manager, are you there?"
At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice rang out.
Then a dark figure suddenly appeared in the corner yesterday.
Nurarihyon sat there with his pipe, looking at Aoba with a rather smug expression.
"Old man, you're not going to skip paying again today, are you?"
Aoba showed a hint of helplessness.
have to say.
This old man is really convenient being a monster.
You can easily walk into someone else's store without even opening the door.
"Cough cough...!"
Nurarihyon coughed twice, his somewhat short frame quickly tapping the table, and said seriously:
"I am the commander-in-chief of the Nura Clan, how could I eat without paying!"
"That's fine."
Aoba clapped her hands and stood up.
"Grandpa, what would you like to eat today?"
"As a yokai, of course I need something that yokai can eat..."
