[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

"The snack expenses for the second half of the year will be deducted."

Shi Lantern walked back to the seat where his younger brother was sitting in the maid cafe, and silently put away his wallet. Seeing that the latter ignored him, he sighed, opened the seat and climbed up.

On the table was the broken Shimatsu doll that he spent two months' wages to buy, but the white face was twisted in his direction strangely, as if staring at him expressionlessly. Next to the crack is the clothing that the clerk gave as a friendly gift for the high price of compensation.

"..."

"There is a difference between the Ichimatsu doll and the crystal girl."

Ghost Lamp sat on the side, comparing the Ichimatsu dolls that often appear in horror movies with the collection in his room. If we say which one is scarier, it really is the Japanese folk craft that is scarier. Where can I buy some for home next time? Bar……

Depressed, the stone lantern looked at Lilith who poked Ichimatsu's clay face with her fingers from time to time, and grabbed the spoon that was eating omelet rice in her younger brother's hand, not knowing what to say.

"... Let's talk about it in detail, why you broke this thing, the key is why you were caught when you broke it."

Shi Lantern's words revealed his not-so-righteous views.

"Uh...uh..." The younger brother stretched out his hand hoping to get the spoon held high by the stone lantern, but found that it was impossible given his height, so he gave up and sat back on the stool, waving his hand to the waiter, "That, please give it to me again One... Mmmmm!"

"If you still want to have dinner this month, you can sit here and honestly explain what just happened."

Covering his standing brother's mouth, he dragged him back to the chair, and at the same time moved the omelet rice that he ordered at some point in his direction. Shi Lantern felt that he was no longer a brother but an old lady.

"...Well." The younger brother looked over to a table. Lilith was still playing with Shisong dolls. Lord Ghost Lantern is not the kind of person who can speak for him. With the aggressive elder brother in front of him, he lowered his head and whimpered, "Go into the shop." , ate, got scared, broke."

"Do you think you are talking about the Three-Character Classic? I just bought a Three-Character Classic and a Disciple Guide at home. If you like to go home, I will stuff it into your mouth. Start with why you didn't come to the appointment on time, and be more detailed."

Facing the stone lantern that has evolved into a ghost animal, the younger brother turned his head unwillingly, pouted his mouth and read a few words, and replied in a low voice: "Because the books I wanted to buy were taken off the shelves, all of them were taken off the shelves, so I made an appointment with a friend. Fortunately, I traded here, and then he was late, and I saw a person whose lucky value was low to negative, and I accidentally bumped into it when I went to take a peek..."

The child's narrative ability is limited, and Shi Lantern understands that although his younger brother has lived for a long time, he rarely speaks at ordinary times. He is very satisfied that he can summarize one thing like this. He nodded to indicate that the current confession has passed the trial. He quietly waited for his brother's next words.

"Then I also wanted to run, and sneaked out from the alley, but I couldn't run and was caught by the maid sister, and that was it."

"Who told you to steal snacks every day, it's better to eat less of this kind of thing."

It seemed that the soft-hearted Shi Lantern was mostly satisfied with the explanation, and returned the spoon to his younger brother, and sat down to pack up piles of doll costumes resignedly.

A group of people were detained in the maid cafe because of the compensation. After the compensation, because Lilith expressed her interest in the maid cafe, they stayed for a while. For this place, Stone Lantern only had the impression of "poor money". And "pit people".

What about "you can play games with the maid for an extra [-] yen", "you can take a photo with the maid if you spend as much money", etc. Shi Lantern, who doesn't like the maid at all, thinks that the maid doesn't wear animal ears It's simply evil.

Ah, by the way, he thinks the cat ears are the cutest. The drooping rabbit ears are acceptable, but the straight rabbit ears are fine.

"Hmm...Actually, I think the animal ears with different left and right ears are cuter. Letting myself be corrected can satisfy people's desire for correction." Hearing the angry tone of Stone Lantern, Ghost Lantern took the hand from the maid. On the menu that came over, I really found the "deception" item in the mouth of the stone lantern at the bottom, thought about this question seriously, and gave an answer.

"No, no, the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder that can only cause others to be different. This is a disease that makes people feel uncomfortable."

"Oh?...The deceased who fell into the crime of 'spiritually killing others' can consider using this method of punishment."

Ghost Lantern handed the menu to Lilith, who was already holding the Ichimatsu doll in her arms to play with. The latter put down its hand and took it over, commenting on the center of their discussion: "If the object is my husband, maybe It might work, but it’s completely useless for me~ I’ve eaten omurice last time, please give me Rabbit Ear Parfait.”

Lilith pointed to the last item on the menu and returned it to the maid. The latter nodded without speaking, and left in silence.Staring at her back, Lilith blinked and groaned meaningfully.

"Master Ghost Lantern, I feel like I already know the concept of misfortune here~"

"Huh?" Holding a small doll kimono in his hand, Ghost Lantern asked back.

"The maid just now should be a representative of misfortune~ The surrounding atmosphere is dark, and children like that in Western Hell are definitely isolated~"

Pointing to the maid who had gone away, Lilith raised both hands of the Shimatsu figure, which at first glance looked like a baby waving its arms at her.

Maids are not uncommon in this street, and there are even many animal-eared maids.The ghost lamp glanced in the direction Lilith indicated, and could only see the back of a short maid, who was busy standing in the counter at this time, looked back and thought for a while, and asked the stone lantern brother who was working hard on the opposite side: " Brother Shi Lantern, is it her that the person you just mentioned has a negative luck value?"

"..."

Swallowing a mouthful of fried rice hastily, the younger brother looked up: "That's right, I accidentally broke Shimatsu's doll because I was taken aback by a coincidence when I saw it. I have recognized it after so many reincarnations. This time, isn't it?" So what... well, that's who."

"..."

"Huh? What's the matter, familiar person?" Lilith pulled the hand of the Ichimatsu doll and further damaged it. As the current owner, the stone lantern was only concerned with tidying up the changed kimono and thinking about his younger brother's words.

"Well, Ms. Lilith should have seen it too... because it turned out that they were just called types, just like Zashiki-douji is Zashiki-douji. I haven't found out what her name is."

"If I have to say it, she hasn't had a name since hundreds of years ago, because it's something like 'If someone accidentally writes it down in a notebook one day, I will die for no reason', so she threw it away a long time ago. .”

Stone Lantern recalled what the other party said before, and told it to the person in front of him.

"The book of life and death is not a notebook, it should be a scroll."

"It's not that thing, it's a more vengeful and darker notebook, commonly known as Death/Note."

As if the ghost lamp suddenly realized something, Shi Lantern folded the sleeves in front of him and put them on the chair beside him, who knows what shocking secret he revealed.

"The death/note paper was actually torn from the book of life and death, and the demon was put in the black rope hell for 'theft'."

"..." Stone Lantern paused, "That thing really exists..."

Ghost Lantern nodded, and when he was about to turn on the popular science mode to explain in detail, Shi Denglong's younger brother, who was eating with his head down, said, "Shouldn't the question now be who did we find out?" and stopped the topic from going any further.

"How about giving her a name first?" the younger brother suggested.

When Shi Lantern heard this, he put down the cloth in his hand, and looked up at the flowers outside the maid cafe: "... Let's just call it Jasmine Sayuri, it's actually quite nice."

"Is there a surname Jasmine in Japan? It should be Sayuri Jasmine anyway."

"No no, Sayuri is also a name. The surname will be changed when she gets married anyway, so why don't, 'Jasmine Sayuri' is all a name."

Shi Lantern's younger brother imagined that her full name would be "XX Jasmine Sayuri", and she felt a little awkward anyway. Knowing that his brother was hard at naming, he looked at the opposite ghost lamp and hoped that he could choose one.

"...Third son."

Hello! !Simple is much simpler, but why does this name sound so strange? People who don't know will think that she has some relationship with Zashiki Doji. Please, please think about it carefully, Mr. Ghost Lamp! !The corner of Shi Lantern's eyes twitched, seeing that his younger brother regretted asking Mr. Ghost Lantern this question, they should save this question to ask King Yan Mo when they return to hell, the king's naming level is the only strength in him up.

When Lilith was full of righteous indignation, the sound of Lilith's hands clasping the table came to her ears, and Shi Lantern looked over with some hope, hoping that her naming standard could be higher than that of Lord Ghost Lantern or even King Yan Mo.

"...Hmm, let me tell you, since she is over there, why can't you just go over and ask her?"

"..."

"name?"

Bringing Rabbit Ear Parfait to a guest table that was labeled as "strange" by other staff, she tilted her head when she was suddenly questioned. There was a man, a woman and two children at the table. It was a very ordinary family of four. ,... If it weren't for the fact that both parents like cosplay, they can be called a very ordinary family.

No, parents who bring their kids to maid cafes are no longer normal.Thinking about whether to tell her her real name, she looked over the table of guests to the flowers outside the coffee shop, hesitated for a long time before saying slowly: "Masters, please call me No. 13 Peony."
