Zongman: My Brother-in-Law is the Tyrant

The monster was so frightened that his body froze immediately.

Natsume Takashi walked up to the monster and asked seriously:

"Why did you curse me?!"

The monster snorted coldly, "Isn't it okay for me to just hate you?"

"Then why do you have to involve the people around me?" Natsume asked again.

"Because I hate you and want to make you suffer!" said the monster "evilly".

"You" Natsume Takashi clenched his fists, but the next moment, his heavy mood was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! Nitro, this is so funny! I can't stop laughing!"

Jingu Tsukasa was laughing so hard that he was falling down, and Ieiri Shoko quickly took the bag.

"Be careful. If your lunch spills, I'll eat you."

“Hahaha! But it’s really funny.” Jinguji laughed while pointing at the monster. “Look at this thing, it acts just like the real thing. It even involves the people around it? Hahaha!”

Natsume Takashi was confused by Jingu Tsukasa's laughter, "What, what do you mean?"

"Don't you understand?" After laughing enough, Jinguji walked to the monster and pulled the sickle out of its hand. "This thing can't hurt anyone at all."

As he spoke, the sickle slashed towards Natsume Takashi, and he was so scared that he quickly raised his hand to block it.

"This……"

Watching the sickle passing through his body without feeling anything, Natsume Takashi was completely stunned.

"How is this going?"

"To put it simply, this monster is just trying to scare you." Jingu Tsukasa played with the sickle in his hand.

Not to mention, this thing is quite interesting. The energy it composes is a bit like a reversal spell, which is specifically designed to restrain evil spirits.

After Natsume Takashi understood, he looked at the monster with a complicated expression, "Why did you do this?"

The monster remained silent for a while before speaking.

"I am the guardian spirit of the shrine. I have been staying here since the god left. Recently, fewer and fewer people come to worship at the shrine, and other people can't see me at all. It's really boring. Until I met you..."

"So you just want to play a trick on me?" Natsume Takashi said the second half of the sentence that the monster didn't finish.

The monster nodded.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it sounds very tragic, but why hasn't any demon exorcist or sorcerer come to this area in so many years?" Ieiri Shoko was a little confused.

Although the systems are different, as long as you have special abilities, you can see monsters or cursed spirits.

Jinguji raised an eyebrow, "There are no cursed spirits or monsters, what are they doing here?"

Ieiri Naoko seemed to have some clues, "You mean..."

Jinguji nodded, "Although this guy is a little weak, it can restrain cursed spirits and evil monsters. I guess those things around have been cleared by it."

"I see."

Natsume Takashi also heard the conversation between the two and looked at the monster with emotion, "I didn't expect..."

The monster snorted proudly, "I'm not doing this for you. It's my duty to clean up the garbage. I'm just doing my job well!"

"No, I still want to thank you." Natsume Takashi said sincerely, "Thank you for everything you have done."

Thanks?

The monster was stunned by the thank you and looked at Natsume Takashi in disbelief, "You actually thanked me? You know, I was just teasing you before!"

Natsume Takashi shook his head, "These are two different things. Besides, you didn't really hurt me. And... you are actually lonely and want to find someone to play with you, right?"

Faced with that gentle gaze, the monster remained silent.

"Humph, I just simply don't like you. Don't take it for granted!"

As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a voice in the air.

"Remember, my name is"

"Fang"

Natsume Takashi repeated.

"Is this okay?" asked Jingu Tsukasa.

"That's good." Natsume Takashi nodded in confirmation.

"Don't you hate it?" Jingu Si asked again.

"Hate?" Natsume Takashi murmured, then smiled helplessly, "I'm not sure, but I only know that I don't want to hurt Fang."

"Really?" Jingu Tsukasa nodded without comment, then his expression suddenly turned fierce, "Let's settle the score between us, kid!"

"Settlement of accounts?" Natsume Takashi was confused.

"That's right, let's settle the score." Jinguji counted on his fingers, "First, I caught you when you were about to fall. Second, I helped you get rid of the monster that had been bothering you. Third, you let my prey escape."

"Hunting, prey?"

"Yes, according to the rules of the underworld, if I defeat the monster, it will be mine. Boy, think about how you are going to pay it back!"

Looking at Jinguji's approaching face, Natsume Takashi was about to cry.

"But, but I have no money."

"No money?" Jingong Si looked him up and down, "If you don't have money, use..."

Suddenly, Jinguji staggered forward, and Ieiri Nozomi retracted her kick and took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

"Really? You are an adult and you are still teasing a child. Have some shame."

Can’t you see that I’m really going to cry?

Child, child?

Natsume Takashi looked at the two men's faces and the school uniforms they were wearing, which were the same as his own, and felt even more confused.

They should be the same age, right?

Also, can junior high school students really smoke?

"Really? Glass, can't you give me some face in front of outsiders?" Jingu Tsukasa smiled bitterly, covering his butt.

Jialiu Nitsuko blew out a smoke ring and glanced at him with disdain, "What dignity do scumbags have?"

He turned to look at Natsume.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's just a jerk who likes to joke around."

"Yes, is that so?" Natsume Takashi pulled the corner of his mouth, "By the way, I..."

Ieiri Naoko interrupted, "If you have anything to say, let's go to school to talk about it tomorrow. We still have to go to dinner now."

"Yes, is that so? I'm really sorry for wasting so much of your time." Natsume Takashi apologized, "Then I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow, Ieiri-san, Jingu-san."

Natsume Takashi trotted away and bowed to the two again five meters away.

“Thank you so much today!”

Thanks for their help, and...

Thank you for letting me know that I am not the only weirdo in the world.

Looking at Natsume Takashi's receding back, Ieiri Shoko slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

"What a gentle child."

Whether it's to humans or monsters...

“Hahaha,” a laugh broke the atmosphere, “Glass is sighing like an old woman! Hurry up and eat, I’m starving.”

Ieiri Glass: (╬▔皿▔)

So why are there always scumbags around her who ruin the atmosphere?

"Starve to death, scum!"

"what?!"

……

The two walked away while playing and joking. A figure walked out from the shrine above and watched them walk away silently.
