Before twelve noon, Xia Youjie opened his eyes on time.

In fact, the short hours of sleep after staying up all night not only failed to make people fully awake, but instead made his head ache like being pricked by a needle.

"Hiss, it's not really old, is it?"

A few hairs exploded on the top of his head, he hugged the quilt for a few minutes, and suddenly realized that he would be 28 years old next year.

"Looking at it this way, it seems that you are not young anymore..."

Speaking of which, isn't Wu's birthday coming soon?

It's only October, almost two months until December [-]th, and there's still time to think about something important about birthday presents.

But the throbbing forehead and empty stomach did not allow him to think too much, and told him in the most noticeable way: You need to take a shower and eat!

For the curse masters of the Panxing Sect, Monday is not a busy day. Unlike the social animals in the office building, their working hours are more flexible and changeable, and there is no torture of weekly and early meetings. If there is no entrustment, The cafeteria is the place where you can see the most people at one time.

—like today.

Not only Manami Suda and Laru who are based in Tokyo, Miguel who was on a business trip last week also came back yesterday, and even Toshihisa Negi, who has been working with Jianren Nanami recently, also appeared in the cafeteria today.

Xia Youjie looked at the silent and gloomy young man unexpectedly: "Didn't you go out today?"

Neki shook his head and said in a low voice, "Seven Sea-kun is off today, and I am also on vacation."

Although he called "Seven Seas Lord" unfamiliarly, it was not difficult to see his respect for the free conjurer from his demeanor.

After a period of training, Neki Toshihisa began to show the firmness and confidence that a conjurer should have. The habitually drooping eyelids cannot hide the sharpness and majesty in the eyes. He was well taught and trained.

"Next time I have to thank Qihai," Xia Youjie looked up and down for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth in relief, "After a while, you will be able to independently perform missions, do you have any preference?"

"It's okay not to get in touch with too many people..." Neki Toshihisa hesitated for a while, he didn't think too much about what kind of task he wanted to do, but he just felt that he didn't like to be in contact with other people.

Xia Youjie opened the chair and sat down, and pulled out today's menu: beef stew, fried lamb chops, cold salmon, apple pie, gooseberry pie, raw salad...

"Eat British food today?" He followed the monotonous menu and said in shock.

It's been a while since I came to the cafeteria to eat with everyone. Why did it suddenly become this kind of menu?Has the cook finally gone mad?He missed the simple and simple Japanese food in the past, not to mention saury and tempura, even ramen is pretty good!

"Uh, it's actually because of the lottery... This week is all British food..." Suda flipped his hair awkwardly.

There were only a few of them eating here before. I don’t know who mentioned that the same food every day is too boring. I bet with the back chef to win the benefits of serving new dishes every week. As a result, it was difficult to order the menu, because everyone There are different preferences, no matter how you arrange it, it is impossible to cater for everyone.

"Just draw lots, classify according to different cuisines, eat whatever you draw, and no one is allowed to complain." Miguel suggested.

So they created a stick that covers most food categories in the world, which of course includes British cuisine.Although there are some weird things drawn out in the past few weeks, most of them are acceptable, such as Thai food, Japanese ramen, vegan food, etc., but this week’s draw out is actually known as having "the world's most "Thin recipe" British food?

"It's Lalu who smoked it. It's all his fault." Suda said loudly, pointing to the blond curser who was holding fish and chips and trying to pretend nothing had happened.

"I usually have good luck in lottery, at least Xiaoji in the lottery at the shrine, and I have never been hacked when I open a box in the game!" Seeing that he was exposed, Lalu quickly swore that he was a little red hand, and this time it was purely a misplay.

Xia Youjie twitched the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Chef is also playing around with you?"

"Hey! I also want to thank them for letting me get back to my original intention!" The red-faced and strong chef poked his head out of the back kitchen and said with emotion, "When I was a chef, I just thought that one day I would learn all kinds of food in the world. Thinking that I have made some achievements later, but I have forgotten this dream, and now I have the opportunity to study food from all over the world, so I am really happy!"

"Although British food doesn't look very good, it's not easy to make that kind of taste," he returned to the back kitchen, and the voice came from afar, "I'll do some more research, and you can eat it tomorrow Authentic eel jelly, I heard that the famous British football star Bei【——】M is a loyal fan of this dish! You must try it, Mr. Xia You."

wait wait wait? !

Xia Youjie opened his eyes wide, and the words to stop were stuck in his throat. He looked around and saw a row of people with their heads buried in their meals. He smiled and threatened: "Tomorrow, I will see all of you here. Anyone who doesn't come will be killed." Make an appointment with me on the training ground for a month."

Widowmaker blossoms are blooming in the gentle and kind smile, which makes people feel chills for no reason.

To worry about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, Xia Youjie optimistically chooses to live in the present.

When the three middle school students finally woke up, it was already time for the sun to set.

"Do you really want to go back by yourself?" Nanako looked at Natsume Takashi worriedly.

"Why don't we give you a ride?" Mimiko held hands with her sister and looked at each other with the same expression.

"It's not that dangerous. I'm fine with myself." Natsume was holding the new omori in his hand, and the clothes on his body had been changed back to his own. The dryer is really a great invention.

"I'll have someone send you near the community, and then walk back by myself, so your host family won't see you," Xia Youjie said in a gentle but unquestionable voice, seeing that Natsume still wanted to refuse, "although there is no It's out of the way, but there's no public transportation nearby, so would you like to walk back into the city?"

"Then I will trouble you..."

Among the three junior high school students, how Natsume explained to the Fujita family after returning home is not mentioned, anyway, the twins are not having a good time recently.

Nanako and Mimiko were not only required to write a [-]-word self-criticism because they were not cautious enough to put their friends and themselves in danger, but also added a lot of courses related to reconnaissance, self-protection, and monsters.

"It's because Mr. Xia You is too worried about you." Xia Mu listened to the two of them complaining, and took three pairs of chopsticks from the tableware. The cafeteria of their school is set up in the form of a buffet, and everything needs to be done by yourself. .

Nanako sat across from Natsume with a teriyaki chicken leg rice: "Yes, but I think the most important reason is that we don't have time to run around."

"I don't have time to come out during the day recently, let alone at night," Mimiko agreed, she took two bites of the croquette, raised her head and asked Natsume, "Will you encounter monsters again recently?"

"They can't see me when I'm carrying the shou, but sometimes, I can see them squatting quietly by the side of the road, looking very lonely." Natsume looked down at the shou hanging on the key, with a somewhat complex.

Even though it was forced, he has lived with monsters for 14 years. Those strange non-human beings are like enthusiastic and annoying neighbors. He usually wants to stay away, but after the other party moves away, he feels a little lost for no reason. .

"But they all want to eat you, right?" Mimiko was a little puzzled by his complicated mood.

"Most of them are like this," Natsume nodded. "There are a lot of evil monsters, but occasionally...you will meet very interesting monsters."

Nanako: "So you still have to be strong enough to fight back even if you are harassed by monsters, and you can also choose the monsters you want to get along with."

Natsume smiled: "Yeah, I have practiced well what you taught me, maybe after a while I can live a normal life without the omori."

He is very satisfied with his current life. There are no messages everywhere, and no classmates who talk a lot. The uncles and aunts in the host family are also kind, and he even made friends. Except for the troubles that ordinary people can't see, everything is going smoothly. dull.

But Grandma Reiko...

Natsume thought of the elder he had never met. He never thought that among his blood relatives, there was someone with the same ability.

"Or it should be said that I am the same as her..." He muttered to himself, "I should sort out my parents' belongings when I go back. Maybe there are things left by grandma."

"Huh? What?" Mimiko looked at Natsume, who didn't know what she was talking about, with the food in her mouth.

"It's nothing, let's eat quickly, the lunch break will be over in a while."

……

"Friends account?"

Xia Youjie held a thin piece of information and raised his eyebrows full of interest: "Is that Natsume Reiko so powerful? Having subdued hundreds of monsters, you can almost be called the master of monsters, right?"

"That's true. Although it is named after a friend, if you accept the name of a monster, you are considered a subordinate." Manami Suda sneered at this behavior.

"Perhaps she does consider monsters as friends."

Xia Youjie braced his face, recalling Natsume Reiko who he met once, even if he didn't have direct communication, the person who can ascend to the kingdom of heaven should not be a bad guy, and the intuitive creature of Huiyuan also agrees with her.

"Where is the account of friends now?"

The names of a large number of monsters are recorded, so it is better not to leave such dangerous goods outside.

Suda: "There is no exact news, but it is speculated that it is very likely that it is in the hands of her grandson, Natsume Takashi."

"He doesn't look like he knows anything, and he doesn't know much about monsters."

"Indeed, so this is just speculation."

"Ah~ But it would be great if it's really in his hands." He looked at the migratory birds flying across the sky outside the window, with some anticipation in his heart, "How will Natsume deal with those monsters? It must be very interesting."

As for whether to lie to her or not... Besides, since she is Nanako and Mimiko's friends after all, the method should be gentler.

Xia Youjie showed a gentle smile, his brows and eyes were full of innocence and harmlessness.
