I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

After signing the contract, the oath relationship between the two officially came into effect.

In Xia Youjie's eyes, Jiuyuan must have other partners.

But Jiuyuan knew in his heart that Xia You was the first real partner.

The first person is always special.

Even with Jiu Yuan's intimacy soaring, he looked at Xia Youjie in uniform, and began to care about him in every way.

"Xia Youjun... which school is your uniform from?"

At first glance, it looks similar to the style of many colleges and universities in Tokyo. The very traditional uniform, perhaps because the trousers are not the usual straight-leg trousers, makes Xia Youjie look a bit like a member of a theme band.

"Although the memory still has a lot of ambiguity, but from the point of view that I am a conjurer...it is the uniform of the high school."

"Why so sure?"

"...that's all I think."

Xia Youjie looked at his clothes and offered to propose: "Since I said that I want to avoid the relevant people of the high school, why don't I change my clothes too."

"Is there a designated uniform in the store?" He adapted well to being a store clerk.

Even you, an employee, were picked up. How could Jiu Yuan, who was a bare-handed commander a few minutes ago, prepare a uniform.

Not to mention that most youkai have their own personalities, and even if they prepared uniforms, no one would wear them.Xia Youjie is a spirit transformed from the dead, and he has not yet fully joined the ranks of monsters, and his way of thinking still tends to be human.

"Not yet... I'll prepare another set of clothes for you later. Let's take a look at your future workplace first, and let's make a statement in advance—at the beginning of the business, the conditions will be relatively simple."

Then, Jiuyuan led him to the abandoned warehouse that had been transformed and used as a Hanako shop.

They had to pass through a corridor on the second floor. This corridor was located in a location with excellent lighting, and the light coming in from the windows clearly lit up the dust floating in the air.

Xia Youjie stood where he was. Compared with his human body, the sensory sensitivity of his current body is as high as heaven and earth, but the fine dust and brilliance seemed to him like something he hadn't seen in centuries. The sunlight seemed to be able to give him an illusion again——

I seem to be alive.

But he knew in his heart—this was a wonderful feeling different from when he was alive.

(What am I now...)

The time of confusion was only a moment before being interrupted.

"What are you doing in a daze." Seeing him standing still, the young man in front looked back at him with a smile on his face: "Let's go, go meet your future companion..."

Xia Youjie took a step after him, and the corridor was filled with fragmented light, stepping on it was like stepping on a warm light belt.

It is very gentle heat.

When he followed up, he heard the young man muttering in a low voice: "...Since you are all my 'children', am I considered a family business?"

Xia Youjie: "...Really?"

After a few short steps, we reached our destination.

(...Is this a store? Isn't it a bit...)

When Jiuyuan led him all the way to the interior of the room, he felt some doubts faintly, but he didn't ask. Now after seeing the small room in front of him, the confusion almost came to the top of his head.

It's no wonder Xia Youjie reacted like this. Generally speaking, isn't the store opened at the main entrance, which is convenient for customers to enter and exit?

Even if he didn't say anything, Jiu Yuan guessed that the people around him must be full of doubts.

"It seems that you have a lot to ask, Mr. Xia You." He tugged the decorative wind chime beside the door, and it made a crisp sound in the narrow room, Jiu Yuan said, "Hmm...it's easier for a high school student to understand." Like the analogy, our store is like a surprise store that occasionally appears randomly in the game, and it can move at any time. To put it in a romantic way, it might be like Ha ○’s moving castle..."

"However, it may be difficult to understand just relying on my explanation. You will understand after seeing it with your own eyes. Come in first."

After closing the door, Xia Youjie began to look at this small "shop".

The warehouse has been tidied up, surrounded by shelves, although it is still empty now, but everyone believes that it will be filled with precious goods soon, there is only a little boy in the room who may not be as tall as his waist, at this moment he Sitting sideways on a chair, with a book covering her face, the title of the book is "How to Cook a Bai Ze".

Xia Youjie saw his future colleague... At that moment, he really thought he was wrong.

Because no matter how you look at it, this is a child, even beyond his imaginary age.

(Has such a small child passed away early...)

Hearing the movement, the boy took the book off his face and turned his head to look at the face beside Jiu Yuan.

"... newcomer?"

"Let me introduce myself, Mr. Xia You." Jiu Yuan encouraged, "You will be colleagues from now on."

Xia Youjie looked at the boy with black hair and red eyes and wearing a pair of red shorts, feeling a little complicated: "...Hello, Xia Youjie."

"Hua—my name." The boy's big round eyes rolled around Xia Youjie's body, "So you are a fox? Since you are a fox, why did you toss yourself to the point of being trapped by remnants? Could it be a practice?" Not fine?"

Of course Xia Youjie is not a fox.

The black-haired boy touched the fox mask on top of his head, guessing that this thing confused the perception of the boy in front of him.

"Take off the mask, Mr. Xia You. Let him see your real appearance."

According to Jiu Yuan's suggestion, Xia Youjie took off the fox mask on his head.

The boy's gaze re-scanned his side from top to bottom, showing a "really so" expression.

"I see." The boy pointed his finger at his chin and commented: "This is a good method. Human spirits are easy to be targeted by those with evil intentions."

Xia Youjie: "The guy with evil intentions?"

The boy explained: "There are many monsters that eat people, and they will not let go of human souls either. You have to be careful."

"thanks for your reminder."

"It's nothing, and I don't want to be rumored to be hanging out with humans. Is it okay for me to call you Xia You? You can call me Hua, or Hua Jun."

Jiu Yuan calmly walked to the chair opposite him and sat down, put one hand on the table and propped his face sideways, and began to expose his background: "Or you can call him Hua Zijun, this name is more famous."

If this is a manga, there is already a tic-tac-toe on Hanako's head.

"I said you... I know I don't like being called that!"

"But, you are indeed Hanako-kun." Jiuyuan looked helplessly at the way Hanako lost his temper at him, without any guilt in his heart.Pointing at Huazi, he said to Xia Youjie, "It was Mr. Huazi who picked you up, Mr. Xia You. In a sense, he is your benefactor."

"Thank you." Xia You thanked quickly.

Hanako, who is soft but not hard, reluctantly puts away her aggressive attitude, as if she wants to make a good impression in front of the newcomers.

"That's right, I'm that Hanako... what is this expression, is it weird?"

"... Rather, it's the first time I've seen a male Hanako. Is this the difference between rumors and reality?"

Xia Youjie's honest answer made Hanako feel a little better.

Aware of his doubts, Jiuyuan explained.

"The formation of monsters and ghost talks is not a single point." Jiu Yuan smiled and got up and took out a notebook from the side, drew a circle in the middle, and then drew a dozen rays, the arrows of each line point to this circle , "Assuming that the circle in the middle is Hanako, each line represents a different version of the legend: sister head, Hanako wearing a white shirt and red suspender skirt, Hanako who died of a heart attack in the toilet, Hanako who was bullied by classmates Hanako who was bumped into and killed by bad guys in the toilet..."

"That is to say, 'Hanako' is a collection. He can be any of the above legendary Hanakos, but he finally appeared in front of us in this form, but those Hanakos are also him." Xia Youjie asked Said: "Is that so?"

Jiuyuan changed his posture, resting his chin on the palm of his hand in extreme relaxation.

"Yes, those different legends are like streams, but they all converge into the same larger lake in the end, but the reverse is also true."

"So it's not surprising even if it's a male Hanako~ Xia You-kun, the longer the monsters have existed, the more complicated their legends will be. Maybe you will meet even rarer monsters in the future."

As a conjurer who can manipulate spell spirits, Xia Youjie has also seen a lot of weird spell spirits. I don't know if it is because he often sees different types of spell spirits that he occasionally has some in this regard that he himself does not like. An imperceptible thirst for knowledge.

"... Then I really want to see you."

Jiuyuan closed the notebook and threw it towards Hanako, who complained "Hello!"

Then he smiled and said to Xia You: "There will be this opportunity."

"Well, let's talk about the business." Jiuyuan said, "Our store has found employees now, and it is almost ready to officially open, and the time will be set for tomorrow. Xia Youjun, I need to trouble you to be Hanako's assistant. "

Xia Youjie paused for a second, and then replied: "...I thought it was you who came to do the divination."

"Ah~ I'm just an idle shopkeeper." Jiu Yuan said with a smile, "I'll trouble you next time, Mr. Xia You."

Then, he stood up and said, "I won't bother you for the rest of the time, will the presence of the boss affect your relationship exchange?"

After speaking, he really just left so simply.

Only Xia Youjie and the one in front of me were left...

……child labor.

Probably, he thought.

"I……"

However, before he could finish speaking, Hanako jumped off the stool, stared at the closed door, then stretched out her hand and made a "shush" gesture to signal him to be quiet, as if to confirm whether Jiuyuan had left. After waiting for a few minutes, his tense little face eased down.

"...that lunatic...has finally left." His tone was complicated, and he seemed hesitant to speak, as if he needed to think over and over again what to say next.

Xia Youjie: "...What do you mean?"

Hanako looked again at the door that Jiuyuan left.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "...that person wants to do a big thing, a very crazy thing."

……

……

There is indeed a reason for Jiuyuan to shake his hands and leave like this.

With him present, even if Xia Youjie and Huazi wanted to communicate, they might feel a little restrained.What's more, some words are not suitable for him to say personally. After all, it is like drawing a big cake for someone. The effect will be better if he says it through Hanako's mouth. Moreover, he is still a child's appearance, which can somewhat enhance his credibility. .

At this time, it is necessary to do the opposite and let Hanako sue his boss.

Hmm... Rounding up means that the old man in the workplace whispers privately to the newcomer, telling him "what kind of person is the leader of such and such, and what blablablas you must pay attention to".

By the way, let's test Xia Youjie's attitude.

The boy walked out of the corridor, still smiling.

"—I really hope they can get along well."

(My "newborn", and my "eldest son".)
