I loaded the ghost talk game

Xiao Xiushou didn't know what happened after she was captured.

She couldn't see or hear the surroundings.

The talisman that Lu Yewu pasted on Xiao Xiushou's body deprived her of her perception ability to the greatest extent.

This poor little monster tied in the talisman and banana leaves was wrapped in unknown fear, but she couldn't do anything. She could only whimper and twist her tightly bound body.

"Um... um!"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Xiushou suddenly felt that the sense of oppression from the talisman on her body was weakened. Then, the banana leaves that bound her also slowly loosened and gradually pulled away.

The hands, feet and torso were released first, and finally the eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

She began to hear the slightly noisy sounds around her. Slowly, her visual perception was restored, and she could finally see the environment she was in now. This was not a shopping mall, but the interior of a residential building.

It was a living room with mats, and it was very spacious.

After seeing what was in the living room, Xiao Xiushou rejected his initial idea.

No, this is not a residential house.

It is an extremely terrifying and dangerous demon's lair!

It is the residence of the Great Demon King!

Yes, it must be like this.

This living room was filled with all kinds of demons and ghosts -

A vengeful soul with its head separated from its body; a short monk wearing a monk's robe and a dark hat; a tall and charming female demon in a white dress; a demon girl with several ghost masks floating around her; a white wolf with soft long hair; a kappa carrying a turtle shell; a little boy dragging a fat whale tail behind him; a little girl with colorful oil paint constantly flowing on her body; a big furry rat wearing a bathrobe, with a depressed face and clenched fists...

There are all kinds of them, too many to count.

Among all the demons, what made Xiao Xiushou particularly terrified and aroused her soul was a Tengu with a white divine mask and black wings on his back; and a Gothic girl with her hair in a bun and a red dress.

These two may not even be considered demons and ghosts, but some more terrifying existence.

Since Xiao Xiushou was born, he has never seen so many powerful demons and ghosts gathered together. It is like a living scroll of hell, where the terrifying breath that makes people's hair stand on end and their teeth tremble is rampant here.

All the demons and ghosts are looking at the weak and helpless Xiao Xiushou with interest, as if they will rush up and eat her alive in the next second, chewing her until there is no bone residue left.

In addition, there are humans in this terrifying demon mansion.

Those two extremely powerful girls, whether it is the one who killed Luo Xinfu with a knife or the one who captured Xiao Xiushou alive.

The two girls sat calmly among the demons, and were obviously in the same group as the terrifying demons here.

In addition to them, there was a young man in the living room.

The black-haired, white-faced boy, dressed casually, sat in the most conspicuous position in the living room.

His sitting posture was a little lazy, but the whole person had an inexplicable nobleness and strange attraction. Even Xiao Xiushou, who was frightened and terrified at this time, would pay more attention to him for no reason.

Is he human?

It's hard to say.

He looks like but not quite.

With Xiao Xiushou's strength, it is really impossible to make an accurate judgment.

But one thing is certain, this man is absolutely terrifying!

As long as he wants, he only needs to raise his hand, which is enough to make Xiao Xiushou disappear into ashes.

Moreover, Xiao Xiushou has a feeling that if this is the terrifying Demon King's mansion, then the existence that can be called the "Great Demon King" must be this man.

He is the absolute controller here.

Kosode no Te closed her eyes, her body trembling constantly, she really didn't dare to look at the horrific scene of demons dancing around her.

It's over, it's completely over.

If she could, she would rather be tied up with banana leaves again now...

She would rather not see, not hear, not know.

...

The overly grand "welcome ceremony" at Kamiya's house obviously scared Kosode no Te.

As the head of the family, Kamiya Kawa began to carefully look at the little monster that was curled up in a ball.

In human form, Kosode no Te looks like a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

She has a soft light brown hair color and a bob with bangs at the eyebrows. It's fluffy and layered, which is quite fashionable for a traditional ghost story in a sense.

Kosode no Te wears a Kosode kimono, the overall color is a gradient from white to light yellow, the waist is a red and blue bow, and the kimono is also decorated with gorgeous and complex golden patterns.

These golden patterns are exactly the same as the patterns that appear on the cuffs of other clothes when she attaches them to them.

"Kosode." Kamiyagawa finally spoke, his eyes falling on the cuffs of Kosode's kimono, "What's in your sleeves?"

"I..."

Facing the question of the big devil, Kosode shivered.

Her two kimono cuffs shook twice, and all kinds of objects rolled out from inside -

silver necklaces, pearl-studded hairpins, brightly colored silk...

Even wood and stone sculptures as tall as a person.

There was everything, piled up in a disorderly manner next to Kosode.

It seemed that they were all the collections of this little monster.

"It's all here... Everything I collected is here..."

Xiao Xiu Shou's tone was trembling and crying.

Kanoya, who was sitting cross-legged in the living room, was stunned for a moment, looking at the largest stone sculpture that came out of Kosode's sleeves, and then said with a look of realization: "No wonder she is so heavy."

There are so many things hidden in the sleeves, how can it not be heavy?

Kamiyagawa glanced around at Kosodetsu's collection with fixed eyes. None of them seemed to be valuable in the extraordinary realm.

This little monster keeps these things, maybe because he thinks they look good?

My hobbies are picking up trash and collecting collectibles...

Kamiya felt like he had found a kindred spirit.

Another very important point is that the monster Xiao Shou Shou seems to have the ability to store space in a [Mirage Bag], and there is something else inside her sleeves.

very nice.

Kamiyagawa spoke again: "Xiao Xiushou, don't be so afraid. I brought you here just to talk to you."

"...Talk, talk about what?"

Xiao Shou Shou finally calmed down a little.

It seems like he may not die?

Think about it too.

If these terrifying beings in front of you want to kill yourself, there is no need to go to all the trouble to catch yourself.

"Tell me about yourself first."

Since you are recruiting, the first thing to do is to understand the potential employee’s background.

There is actually not much worth telling about Xiao Shou Shou's story.

She was a monster born in the eternal world, and her birthplace was the permanent area corresponding to the shopping mall in Ibaraki.

When Little Sleeve Shou was born, that area of ​​the Eternal World was already occupied by the bride.

Naturally, she couldn't beat a C-level online bride.

However, Lady Spider doesn't seem too interested in eating female monsters.

Moreover, that spider has a natural love for beauty and likes to collect silk and satin.

The little Shou Shou, who was born in clothes, was born with the ability to weave.

Judging from the results, Luo Xinfu forced Xiao Xiu Shou to be her follower, and usually asked her to knit clothes for herself.

In this way, Xiao Xiu Shou barely survived in the ordinary world.

However, this little monster is gentle by nature and does not like the violent and moody New Lady. He is always looking for opportunities to escape from the control of Spider Lady.

After a long time like this, Xiao Xiu Shou and Luo Xinfu became strangers.

They are able to access the real world, which is what happened recently.

Because she was finally free from regional restrictions, Kosodetsu once tried to escape by attaching herself to the kimono that Ms. Fujino had bought from a kimono shop in the mall.

However, the new bride seemed to like the appearance of the weaver girl and took her back again.

As for what happened tonight.

According to Xiao Shou Shou, it was because Luo Xinfu couldn't suppress her natural instinct and went crazy.

In addition to loving beautiful weavings, lady spiders also love to eat men's heads.

And when asked why Xiao Shou Shou chose to take a desperate risk to help Mr. Toyama who was about to become the food of the bride.

Xiao Xiu Shou just said——

"Because the pearl hairpin on his body is very beautiful."

Kamiyagawa could tell that Xiao Soushou was not lying on this point.

Although I can't fully understand it, the two strange stories that came out of Ibaraki shopping mall seem to do "irrational" things because of the things they like.

"this is for you."

After listening to Kosodetsu's intermittent narration, Kamiyagawa casually took out a requiem candle and threw it at her.

Xiao Shou Shou's reaction was half a beat too slow.

The white candle slapped her face, and she caught it in a hurry.

"this is?"

Xiao Xiu held the candle in his hand, and his eyes that were still watery suddenly lit up.

This candle...

According to her weird aesthetics, this candle contains a very strange beauty.

Maybe it's the beauty of strength?

All in all, it seems to be a very nice collectible.

"Does she think the requiem candle is beautiful?"

Looking at Xiao Xishou's appearance and seeing through her inner emotional fluctuations, Kamiyakawa thought in his heart.

I don’t quite understand what the aesthetic standards of this little monster are.

In short, it may overlap with human standards, but it is not exactly the same.

But Kamiyakawa continued to solicit: "This is a requiem candle. After it is lit, it can enhance the strength of Kaidan and be helpful to you. I plan to use this as a reward and hire you to do things for me. As long as you can If you do well, you will get more.”

"do what?"

Xiao Shou Shou was in high spirits, and she no longer looked as scared as she did at first.

Kamiyagawa and his second disciple Tsurumi Aoi looked at each other: "Follow my second disciple."

Then, Kosodetsu's gaze shifted to Tsurumi.

This girl, she is amazing.

Xiao Xiezhi's hand has no loyalty to Luoxin.

Moreover, when Lady Spider asked her to weave clothes as a slave, she would not give any reward.

It's just a new boss, so for now there's nothing to hesitate about.

Also...

Xiaoxiu Shou carefully raised his eyes to look at Kamiya, then quickly lowered his eyebrows.

Although the new boss is scary, if you calm down and take a closer look, he... is very beautiful!

Far more beautiful than a new bride!

…

The recruitment of Xiao Shou Shou went smoothly.

A D-class little monster, it would be easy for Kamiyagawa to handle her.

After that, he considered contracting her to Tsurumi as a shikigami.

We need to wait for this, after all, Tsurumi has not yet fully mastered the art of controlling spirits.

Moreover, Tsurumi can only contract one shikigami at most.

Her shikigami slot is very precious.

We must make a careful decision.

As for Kosodete...

It has its own space in the sleeves, and can also attach to clothes, extending many flexible arms.

From this point of view, she is very suitable for Tsurumi who is committed to practicing "all kinds of weapons".

If the contract can be realized, the thoughts between the Onmyoji and the shikigami will be connected, and Kosodete should be able to provide Tsurumi with very good assistance on the battlefield.

However, in terms of personality, Kosodete seems to be a little weak and a little hard to figure out.

After all, she can directly rebel against the stronger Netshinfu for a favorite pearl hairpin.

I can only say that sometimes the thoughts and obsessions of the ghost story are really strange.

As for the weakness of personality, it can probably be adjusted.

And the obsession with beautiful things...

God knows if she will rebel against Tsurumi in the future because she likes something?

"However, if Kosode can sign a formal contract with Tsurumi, with the backing of the spirit control technique, there is no need to worry too much about her defecting in the future."

Kamiyakawa weighed this in his mind.

While he was thinking, Tsurumi Aoi approached Kosode with interest, and the latter seemed a little at a loss.

Looking at his reserve shikigami with a flickering look, Tsurumi turned his head to Kamiya: "Teacher Kamiya."

"Hmm?"

"Can I take Kosode to practice kendo? Teach her what you taught me."

"Uh..."

Kamiyaka was briefly surprised, but soon came to his senses.

It seems that his little apprentice is not satisfied with just letting Kosode be her personal weapon holder.

She wants Kosode to cooperate with weapons in combat.

Tsurumi is really thoughtful in teaching ghost talk kendo.

But from Kamiya's own senses, Kosode, who is weak, may not be suitable for understanding the meaning of swordsmanship.

But it doesn't matter.

It won't hurt to try.

In short, wait and see.

Keep Kosode by your side first, under your guardianship, and let her get along with Tsurumi for a while.

Even if it is not suitable in the end, you can still send Kosode to Tsurumi.

She has so many arms and is so flexible, the old lady who sells her feet will probably like it very much.

Of course, now Kamiya no longer needs the blood of the low-level "Hand Alienation Strange Stories" to make special oils to maintain Ibaraki's hands.

So, in fact, Kosode can be sent to the textile workshop in Tsurumi Industrial Park. With her talent and skills, she can be a small supervisor in the future.

She can be a shikigami for Tsurumi, or she can work in the factory to do production.

Kosode has a wide range of employment opportunities, and it is not a loss to keep her.
