The weather was really sunny, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sun was shining brightly, making people feel lazy. Qiao Xi was holding a book of monster manuscripts that Sa Dou had found somewhere, and was looking at it one by one.
While she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard someone banging on the door. Qiao Xi sat there without moving, squinting her eyes and thinking for a long time. She remembered that Sa Dou went back to the mountain shrine today to engage in pyramid schemes (no
...) has gone, and he is currently the only one left in this house.
Reluctantly, she sat up straight. The knocking on the door outside the yard sounded more and more urgent. Qiao Xi easily picked up a piece of paper from the side, folded it into the shape of a little person, and put her fingertips on the little person's heart.
He clicked on the area, and the little paper figure swelled up as if it had been blown out. Immediately, there was a Pingting maid in gorgeous clothes, smiling and bowing to Qiao Xi, and then walked towards the door.
The direction went.
Qiao Xi squinted her eyes against the light and looked at the girl's back. After a long while, she couldn't help but sigh.
——Speaking of how long it has been, why do you feel like you are so lazy that you can’t move without moving?
——No matter how you think about it, this is all Sa Dou’s fault!
It must be that Sa Dou is used to taking care of everything and taking care of everything in an orderly manner when he is here, so that his only daily activity in the recent period is to lie in the corridor and read in a daze.
However, my brother is still in a deep sleep and has never woken up. Compared with many years ago, there is no activity program for sparring.
——There is no doubt that he is already a useless god.
Happily throwing the pot to Sa Dou, Qiao Xi tilted her head and stared at the cherry blossom tree swaying gently in the wind. After a while, the shikigami maid who had just left came in:
"Sir, Mr. Sato, who lives next door, came to visit and said he had something to ask for."
Qiao Xi: "Well..."
——This is really #when sleepiness comes, someone will give you a pillow#. Just when he was bored, someone came over to give him entertainment props.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xi straightened up, raised her eyebrows and asked the maid to bring him in.
Mr. Sato, he is talking about the neighbor at the location of this house.
Qiao Xi briefly recalled her impressions of the family next door, but... she recalled nothing.
——If he had to say it, he did know that the youngest daughter of this family was named Sato Mako.
Ah, don't get me wrong, Qiao Xi didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about a teenage girl because of her extraordinary bright appearance. The main reason was that there were a few little monsters in the yard who seemed to have a lot of interest in this little girl.
Feeling good.
Based on this, Qiao Xi had reason to suspect that this little girl might be able to see monsters.
——The main reason why he is not sure is that Qiao Xiyou noticed that the little monsters' tricks sometimes frightened the little girl, but sometimes they had no effect.
Huh? That sounds like something is wrong?
Well, I can only say that the goodwill of the monsters is such a #maverick##that is unbearable for ordinary people#.
cough.
Qiao Xi usually doesn't care much about the daily life of the little monsters in the house, and he won't say anything about these little guys' innocuous little hobbies. After all, they have lived for such a long time, so really he has some sympathy for human beings.
His heart is also unrealistic. He is considered kind if he can restrain the monsters and prevent them from harming people.
Ignoring other thoughts, she quickly constructed the image of the little girl in her mind. Qiao Xi sat up straight and tapped the palm of her other hand with the rolled-up notebook in her hand. She saw that she was wearing ordinary clothes.
The middle-aged man, whose appearance was ordinary no matter how you looked at it, made people doubt the authenticity of his blood relationship with Sato Mako, and he knelt down three meters away from him with a plop.
"Lord Qiao Xi! Please save my father!"
Qiao Xi: "..."
——Well, even the sound of kneeling down was exactly the same as his whole body.
Since the name #风月神# has a strong presence in this area, Qiao Xi used the name "Qiao Xi" when she settled here.
After all, as a god, he was used to accepting the kneeling of humans. When faced with the sincere kneeling of a pitiful middle-aged man, Qiao Xi did not feel panic because he looked no more than ten years old. He just followed the rules and let the maid.
He helped Sato Takeru up and said:
"Well, Mr. Sato, you'd better get up first. No matter what happens, please calm down and tell me what happened."
Mr. Sato did not obey the maid's help and stood up. Instead, he knelt down in an extremely weak posture and lowered his head to cover his face.
"it's all my fault!"
"If it hadn't been for me, nothing would have happened to Makoto! It's all my fault! If nothing had happened to Makoto, my father wouldn't have... ugh..."
I don’t know if it was because he was too emotional. After speaking intermittently, Takeru Sato, a grown man, lost control and burst into tears without thinking about his own image.
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi had no choice but to silently use her gentle spiritual power to soothe his emotions. It took a while for the middle-aged man, who was filled with fatigue and regret, to gradually calm down.
"So, Mr. Sato, can you tell me now what happened to Mr. Sato and Miss Mako?"
After going through a lot of confusing nonsense, Takeru Sato finally fully narrated to Qiao Xi what happened to the Sato family in the past two days.
First of all, Sato Mako has a bright appearance, which is really shocking in this small and remote town. By the way, Qiao Xi, whose appearance and temperament are obviously not ordinary people, also looks like this in the eyes of others.
Such speculation.
However, unlike Qiao Xi, he has Sa Dou, a shikigami that is very useful for traveling at home, killing people, and setting fires (no...), which can provide him with a noble status that is flawless in every aspect, and as an ordinary civilian
Sato Mako has such stunning beauty, which is more like an irresistible disaster than a gift from God.
——This is true both for the entire Sato family and for Sato Mako herself.
The various legends about beauties bringing disaster are not unfounded in history, especially when the character of the protagonist is somewhat special due to special experiences.
Sato Mako is actually a rather strange little girl - well, this comment was made by a little monster in the Qiao Xi family who likes to visit next door to tease (cross out) the little girl.
As for the strange method, Qiao Xi had never asked before and was not interested. However, after listening to Takeru Sato's account, Qiao Xi felt that this little girl was indeed quite strange.
