I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

The boy glanced over the two of them and asked, "May I ask who you are..."

After Kunikida introduced himself, he immediately explained why he came.

At the same time, he didn't forget to look at the person in front of him - short navy blue hair that was close to black, with a few strands of hair slightly curled inwards, looking very casual, and a gentle smile in those water-colored eyes.His stature is between that of a teenager and a young man, and there is a characteristic unique to this age group.

It is the type that is easy to make people feel good at first sight.

After listening to his words, the young man showed an apologetic smile: "I'm really sorry... Actually, I just moved here today, so I don't know much about things around here."

This kind of thing can be found out by asking the neighbors a little. Kunikida thought that no one would lie about this kind of thing.

"So that's the case, then let's..."

Before Kunikida could say goodbye, Dazai next to him interrupted him.

He said to the young man very naturally: "It's amazing. Living alone in such a big house, it's inconvenient to clean it, right?"

After finishing speaking, he leaned on the door frame, bent down and leaned in a little, then raised his neck, and scanned the room with an exaggerated range, still saying: "It's really unimaginably spacious inside."

Can't stand his little friend's embarrassing action, Kunikida made a gesture to lift him to stand upright, but Dazai deftly dodged it.

"I live in such a big house alone, and there are bad rumors nearby, don't you feel scared?"

The boy smiled and said, "But that's just a rumor, right? Actually, I don't live alone, I'm with my brother."

"Brother...?" Kunikida thought of something, he asked: "When we came from outside, we saw a boy from the window on the second floor. That boy is your brother, right?"

"Yes." The boy nodded.

"Is that so?" Dazai said, "But, that child doesn't look like you."

The boy didn't feel offended, and even praised: "Your eyesight is really good, can you see clearly from that distance?"

But he didn't answer Dazai's question.

Dazai didn't mind his attitude, but continued to ask: "Are you two brothers?"

"Ah, to be precise, he is a child of a relative's family, and he is staying with me temporarily."

For ordinary people, after hearing such suggestive words, they will stop asking.

But Dazai is not the type to be led by the nose easily.

However, the boy didn't seem to mind being questioned, he yelled openly to the second floor: "Mr. Hua—come down a little bit! We have guests."

Kunikida heard impatient footsteps upstairs after he called, and soon he saw a boy with a cold but impatient face on the stairs, whispering something—— The type should be saying "what's the matter again?".

Ah, it's a very common way of getting along with brothers - Kunikida thought to himself.

"Okay, Mr. Hua, you have to greet your guests properly."

When the young man said this, he seemed to have a bit of an older brother's calmness.

The boy looked like a primary school student, no more than ten years old at most, and his appearance was not very similar to this boy, and his hair color and eye color were completely different.However, in terms of demeanor and temperament, it makes people feel that they seem to be related.

The child cast his gaze at the two, but before Kunikida could speak, he unconsciously retreated behind his elder brother, clutching the corner of his clothes with one hand, and then looked at the two uninvited guests vigilantly.

His voice was cold and full of guard: "Who are you?"

Kunikida: "..."

Although he is not a person who has a special relationship with children, it is still a bit heartbreaking to be dodged by a child at such a speed of light.

Kunikida: "Well, we're not bad guys..."

Dazai said from the side: "Hmm... To explain it in terms that children can understand, we are almost like the police?"

The child was very wary: "...Where are the police uniforms? Don't think that I will believe everything you say when I am young."

"I'm not a policeman..." The boy next to him helplessly patted his brother's forehead, and the latter gave him a glare.

The boy named Hua whispered, "Don't let all the strange people in..."

However, no matter what Kunikida said, the boy still looked like he didn't want to get in touch with them, and simply got under his brother's coat to hide from them.

Kunikida thought: Judging from the current information, brothers who are not related on the outside, have no adults at home, and live in such an old house, especially the boy is very resistant to strangers, all these are really imaginative Liaison—for example, if something bad happened to them that left them both traumatized.

If so, then it makes sense.

It's just that, so far, it's someone else's business.

……

……

While maintaining a gentle smile, Jiu Yuan sized up the two without a trace.

Compared with the black-haired young man who was always full of undertones and traps in his conversation, the blond-haired man next to him was much more upright.

Therefore, it is also his intention to create the image of a pair of poor brothers who depend on each other for life.

After achieving his goal, he let Hanako leave.

"Sorry, this kid is a bit shy...Mr. Hua, let's go up and rest first."

"Hmm..." Hanako was reluctant, he really didn't want to stay here.

Because the young man with a frivolous tone gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Anyway, don't be fooled."

Hanako's childish face combined with this old-fashioned line seems quite interesting to Jiuyuan.

He thought that in the future, he would use the vest of Hanako to help watch the house and handle some trivial matters, and the neighbors nearby would surely know of the existence of this child, so they would simply let him show his face.

Hanako is a half-earth-bound spirit, and her range of activities is really limited, so there is no way around it.

As for the other characters... He has no plans to get involved with himself at the moment, just one Hanako on the bright side is enough.

After Hanako left, Dazai smiled and looked in the direction of the stairs.

"The relationship between your brothers is really good."

"Well, he's a very good boy." After finishing speaking, the teenager showed a sorry expression, and pointed to a few cardboard boxes on the ground behind him, "Next we have to pack our moving luggage. I'm sorry, I will investigate the two of you. Can't provide any useful clues."

Hearing the meaning of the other party's driving away, Kunikida said goodbye politely: "No, it should be said that we interrupted. Then we will leave first."

Before going out, Kunikida also kindly reminded: "The security around here is not very good recently, please pay more attention to safety with your family."

"I will, thanks."

After the two left, Jiuyuan closed the door with a "shua--".

The smile on his face also disappeared without a trace.

"As expected of a detective agency, it's really difficult." He complained calmly.

Especially the bandage-wrapped young man, maybe he would use clever use of words to get the answer he wanted when facing everyone. For him, this is not a skill, but a habit.

However, Jiuyuan firmly believes that there are still a small number of people who have the words "difficult to deal with" written all over them.

Before he was ready to live with Hanako, Jiuyuan set up several alternative identities.

Among them, the most feasible one is still developing in the direction of supernatural and eccentric—for example, he is actually an existence such as onmyoji and demon exorcising master, and Hanako is the monster or shikigami he tamed.

In this way, ordinary people who don't know anything about ghosts can easily be fooled, and they have no ability to distinguish the truth from Jiu Yuan's words.

And when you meet someone who is capable of seeing through Hanako's real body, such as demons, conjurers, and witches, you will only believe his words more—otherwise, you can't explain why they can live together in peace, and why Hanako treats him like this rely.

The most important thing is that Hanako is not a very hostile monster, nor is she an existence with strong combat power that is easy to be coveted by others.

The sense of existence as a monster is probably "just right", which makes Jiuyuan very satisfied.

"However, rather than confessing from me, it's better to let those people guess for themselves—after all, people only trust their own judgments."

Thinking of this, he murmured while stepping up the stairs——

"I don't know what conjectures those two people came up with just now, it's really interesting."

The author has something to say:

Jiuyuan: You can guess whatever you want, if you guess it, I will lose.
