Qian Shu changed into the yukata she had prepared in advance and came out, taking small steps forward with some discomfort.She didn't wear this style of yukata very often. Rather than saying it was a yukata, it might be better to say that the design below was closer to a kimono.

The tightened leg design makes it difficult for the wearer to take small steps.

Sure enough, Xia Youjie was still waiting at the door—he said he would wait for Qianshu, so he had no intention of breaking his promise.

Qian Shu walked to Xia Youjie's side in small steps: "Have you finished soaking? So soon?"

Natsume and the others went to the hot spring at the same time.And Huiyuan and the others came later than Natsume; Xia Youjie could only come later than them, why did he come out now?

Xia Youjie sighed, a little helpless: "There is another task later. There are traces of demons in the city next door, I have to go and see right away."

"The group of old guys are afraid that the existence of demon hunters will replace conjurers and reduce the privileges of conjurers, so they have been very active recently, whether it is dispelling curse spirits or hunting demons."

As a result of the high-level executives in the magic world being active, the number of assigned tasks has more than tripled compared to usual.Because the devil is a new creature that the conjurers have never been in contact with - the demon hunter is a profession created by Maqma, and they dare not easily believe the news provided by Magema.

As a high school teacher, Xia Youjie couldn't watch his students fight monsters of unknown origin.Therefore, he usually not only has to complete his own tasks, but also takes care of the safety of the students.

It was also thanks to Xia Youjie who had been so demanding on himself since the day he became a conjurer that he was able to withstand such a great pressure.

Gojo Satoru didn't go anywhere easily.He also took on more oppression from the higher-ups: Yota and Chiki, who were personally guaranteed by Gojo Satoru, went berserk one after another.

If it weren't for Gojo Satoru himself being ridiculously strong, and now he has killed a demon hunter who is robbing his job halfway, the higher-ups probably wouldn't have agreed to Qian Shu's joining the high school so easily.

But even if they agree, they will definitely continue to make small moves secretly.Don't look at those high-level executives who were repeatedly suppressed by Gojo Satoru on the surface, but in fact they were very stubborn.

In the face of potential threats, this group of guys will really do whatever it takes—even desperately—to obliterate each other.

Xia Youjie has a deep understanding of this.

Many thoughts flashed through an adult's mind in an instant, and it only took two or three seconds for Xia Youjie to straighten out these seemingly complicated interests.He looked at the girl who was frowning and thinking hard, and couldn't help showing a little smile: "Don't worry."

"Actually, hunting demons is similar to getting rid of curse spirits... It's just a little troublesome because we don't know much about it."

Qian Shu was not comforted.She is a person who has lived in the demon world, and she clearly knows that demons and curses are completely different things.

But for a while, Qianshu's mind couldn't clearly articulate the difference between the two.She lowered her head in frustration and muttered, "Then are you going to perform the task now?"

Qian Shu hoped that Xia Youjie could rest for a while.Qian Shu remembered the scene of Xia Youjie's first collapse back then—it was precisely because of that bitter summer that she subconsciously felt that Xia Youjie was fragile.

It is precisely because of this subconsciousness that Qian Shu has always shown a clear tendency to protect Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie nodded: "Well, there is no time to waste. Demons are not like curses——according to the information we have obtained so far, demons are more aggressive than curses."

"And it's also more obvious what they're targeting maliciously."

Some curses are harmless.But the devil is very directional and uses human beings as food.

Moreover, demons have physical bodies and can be seen by ordinary humans.This also means that the panic they bring is far better than the curse; and the excessive panic and negative emotions of ordinary people will become a breeding ground for powerful demons.

This is an endless loop.

Such a shallow truth, even if Qian Shu is not so smart, he can figure it out under Xia Youjie's guidance.She was a little uneasy, thinking of what Teacher Cat said last night——

"Xia Youjie!"

Qian Shu grabbed the other man's wrist, the man's wrist was much thicker than she imagined, and her fingertips touched some calluses on Xia Youjie's palm.

After she called Xia Youjie's name, she didn't know what to say, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Can't you go to another magician?"

Qian Shu wants to say that I have other ways - Guangxi is a professional demon hunter, if they don't trust Maqima, she can ask Guangxi to help guide them.

Guangxi still owes Qianshu a favor, and Qianshu is sure that Guangxi will not refuse her request.

But she also knew that her words could not stop Xia Youjie.Xia Youjie endured so much, not to back down at this time.

If Xia Youjie stayed because of his request, then whose fault is it that the fleeing demon eats people?

Xia Youjie was a little dumbfounded.He took Qianshu's hand and led her through the lobby; there were many people there, and the reason why Xia Youjie said to wait for Qianshu was because he was worried about Qianshu walking here alone.

He led Qian Shu to walk while explaining: "We are still too unfamiliar with demons. The demons that appeared this time have not even been recorded on the fourth class. So for the sake of safety, it is best for a special conjurer to investigate alone. Safe."

"There will be other conjurers on the way to meet me. Don't worry, it's all at this juncture. No one in the conjuration world will want to trip me up."

Even the rights to the 'window' have been split in half, and people in the magic world have already begun to complain.As a result, before they had time to question the cabinet officials, they discovered that most of the officials who used to flatter the conjurers had now chosen to turn against Gomachima!

The infighting in the magic world is one thing, but in the face of external forces, they also understand that they should first agree with the outside world.At this time, even a monkey knows that we cannot give priority to backstabbing our teammates.

Qian Shu opened his mouth and found that he couldn't think of any reason to stop Xia Youjie from going.For the first time, she was annoyed that her brain was not clear-it took a long time to think about it!

Xia Youjie led Qian Shu to the lounge, and let go of her hand at the door: "Go in and play a game by yourself and wait for them in the next day."

"If the mission here goes well, I can come and play with you tomorrow."

When he spoke to Qian Shu, his tone was always gentle and comforting, as if he was coaxing a child.Qian Shu couldn't help retorting: "Don't treat me like a child! I'm not a child—I'm an adult!"

She was eager to make Xia Youjie nervous, but she didn't realize that her words became more childish.

"Okay, you are an adult now." Xia Youjie showed a helpless expression.He touched Qianshu's head, bent down and smiled at her: "Then, little friend Qianshu who is already an adult—please tell me, do you think that demon will be very dangerous, afraid that I will never come back?" ?”

As smart as Xia Youjie, of course he could easily detect Qian Shu's restlessness.She has an extraordinary intuition on dangerous things, which Xia Youjie has long experienced.

Qian Shu gritted her molars and frowned: "I don't know. I'm just a little... uneasy."

She didn't see any sign that Xia Youjie's fire of life was extinguished, which meant that Xia Youjie would not die.But Qianshu was inexplicably uneasy in his heart.She couldn't tell where the strong uneasiness came from, and it seemed that it wasn't just because of the crow's mouth last night.

The last time there was such a strong anxiety was before Qianshu and Gingu parted.

Xia Youjie pressed his forehead against Qianshu's.Because the distance between the two was getting closer, Qian Shu could completely see Xia Youjie's long and narrow eyes - Xia Youjie's eyes were dark purple, very indistinct.

If you don't pay attention, it is easy to see it as black.

He put his hand on the back of Qianshu's head, his wrist was very strong: "Did you see my life go out?"

Qian Shu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Xia Youjie smiled: "So you can rest assured that I will never die. I still have important things to do, and I will never die before that."

"Qianshu, you are indeed not a child anymore, but I am also not the high school student who can only swallow it by myself after the bitter summer. Trust me—it will be fine."

Although he didn't know where Qian Shu's uneasiness came from, Xia Youjie still comforted Qian Shu.He knew Qianshu too well, and knew that even if he didn't know where Qianshu's emotions came from, he could deal with them skillfully.

Part of the reason why Qian Shu likes Xia Youjie so much is also because she basically doesn't need to make her own decisions when staying with Xia Youjie.That feeling was like when I was bound to Machima before.

But Xia Youjie's control over Qianshu is obviously not as strict as that of Maqima.

Qian Shu pursed her lips and nodded lightly: "I... believe you."

Xia Youjie rubbed her head.Before leaving, he said something meaningful: "Your hair has grown a lot."

Qian Shu touched his hair: "Really? I plan to grow my hair long—"

Xia Youjie smiled: "You should look good with long hair."

He always smiles with a gentle and gentle meaning.Usually when Qian Shu saw Xia Youjie smiling, he would feel at ease.

But this time, seeing Xia Youjie's smile, Qian Shu felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger.

Why is it?

-

After Xia Youjie left, Qian Shu was the only one left in the lounge.Where is she interested in playing games now?I just want to find it quickly.

As long as you find Madara, maybe the strong uneasiness in your heart will subside a little!

With this thought in mind, Qian Shu patted her cheek, ready to regroup to find Madara - before she could stand up, a person's head poked into the lounge door.

The other party and Qian Shu looked at each other for two seconds, and asked, "Qian Shu, have you seen Mr. Cat?"

Qian Shu was at a loss and shook his head: "I didn't see it, isn't he with you?"

Natsume also spread his hands: "He stayed with me at the beginning. I went to change clothes just now, and he said he wanted to wander around, and I can't find him after I come out."

Qian Shu laughed angrily: "He still has a lot of leisure."

I am so uneasy that I need humans to comfort me, and that guy can still wander around in the bath?Just pissed off.

"Let me look for it for you too, maybe I got lost and went to the girl's Tangchi."

Natsume is a man, so it is naturally not convenient to go to the girl's soup pond to find a cat.Seeing that Qianshu was willing to help, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry to trouble you—"

Chiki turned around and left the lounge to help Natsume find the cat.To be precise, she also wanted to find Madara herself.

The soup pools of the hot springs are divided into mixed baths and individual soup pools.There are separate baths for men and women, but there are no mixed baths.Natsume has already searched for the mixed bath, and then there is only a single girl Yuchi left.

There are not too many springs in this hot spring hotel, and there are only three separate girls' soup pools.Qian Shu turned around one by one, but did not find Mr. Cat.

Since he wasn't in the soup pool - Qianshu had stayed in the locker room and rest room before, and he didn't see that guy.

Did it go to the front dining area?

Thinking of the character of Teacher Cat, Qian Shu felt that the other party might have sneaked into the front kitchen.All non-humans she knows, as long as they have a normal sense of taste and do not eat humans as their staple food, they basically like to eat human food.

Madara is no exception.

Because Qian Shu was a guest of the hotel, she was not stopped when she entered the dining area.The dining area occupies a relatively large area, and it is difficult for Qianshu to determine whether Mr. Cat is hiding under a certain table—or sneaking directly into the back kitchen.

In fact, she didn't intend to waste time looking for them one by one.

The area of ​​the dining area is just the distance that a thousand trees and vines can cover.She pretended to make ice cream, and when her fingers touched the ice cream switch, she drove the seeds to the ground quickly, taking root and sprouting.

Among the many whispers, there was a 'rustling' sound that was too subtle to attract anyone's attention.

Qian Shu pretended to be nonchalant, holding the ice cream, leaning against the self-serve ice cream table, while eating, he searched the bottom of the table around by the vines.

Just as she was seriously looking for the big fat cat, a person walked by her side: "Why did you come out early?"

Qian Shu was taken aback by the sudden sound.She looked up blankly at the speaker: the man in the stone blue bathrobe was looking down at Qianshu.

His short blond hair was not neatly bound by the hairspray, but was spread out in a messy way, looking wet.

The overly deep and handsome facial features look very handsome under the light.

Qian Shu lowered his head and took a bite of the ice cream, saying vaguely: "The hot spring water is too hot, and the soaking is not comfortable, so it came out first."

Jianren Qihai could tell right away that the little girl was lying; she seemed very unaccustomed to lying, she didn't dare to look at herself when lying, and kept poking the crispy skin on the outside of the self-serve ice cream with her nails.
