I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

"name?"

"...Oda Sakunosuke."

The red-haired man had a serene expression, and he didn't seem to have much curiosity about why he appeared here.On the contrary, the group of children around him, after seeing his appearance, surrounded him like chicks, shouting words like "stupid" and "great", and sounds like crying. The faint whimpering sound.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiu Yuan could probably name it as "A Touching Goodbye".

(I... can be considered a good deed, right?)

"I'm Huang Quanchuan." Jiuyuan smiled, showing kindness: "Huangquanchuan Jiuyuan, you can call me Jiuyuan or Jiuyuan-jun."

"Hello." The red-haired man nodded calmly, his gaze still resting on those children.

But his upbringing made him promise to look at the other person when he spoke, so he looked at Jiuyuan again.

Oda Sakunosuke slowly asked: "...Is this the world after death?"

"Why do you think so?" Jiu Yuan was very interested in his conclusion.

"Because..." Oda Sakunosuke tilted his head slightly, as if to make sure his memory was wrong, and finally said: "I remember, I am already dead."

Jiuyuan nodded: "Indeed."

Before Sakunosuke Oda continued to ask questions, he said directly: "However, this is not the world after death. Your current state, to put it simply...is probably a wandering soul? There are many souls lingering in the world. People's obsessions are not so easy to resolve, and in addition to the limited number of employees in Hell, it may not be possible to come and send you to Huangquan in the first place."

"It turns out that, that is to say, I am indeed dead."

After confirming this, Oda Sakunosuke didn't ask any more questions.

One of the children walked up to Oda Sakunosuke, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said, "The big sister next to me in a skirt brought us here... because I want to help you heal your illness."

Odasaku looked at the person she was talking about—

The other party had been sitting in the corner just now, but now that he looked carefully, he realized that his height was unbelievably exaggerated.

He has no habit of judging other people's appearance, just nodded and said: "...Thank you."

(Cure? Do you mean give me that strange candy...?)

Without beating around the bush, he asked, "Excuse me, what should I do?"

Hachisha-sama got up from his seat, then leaned forward and hugged Jiu Yuan's neck from behind, and said to Oda Sakunosuke: "...you are such a cute guy, no wonder these children like you so much. "

"Let me tell you a little bit about you." Jiu Yuan said, "My friend and I opened a small shop in partnership, but it's still in the early stages of starting a business, and there is a shortage of manpower. I originally helped you because I hoped that you would come to work in my shop. I plan to, but before that, I need to know a little bit about your affairs."

In order to make himself look more convincing, the boy continued: "After all, I have to be responsible for my companions, and I can't recruit people casually."

"I understand." Oda Sakunosuke thought it was easy to understand.

What the other party said was reasonable, and he had indeed been helped, and there was no falsehood.

He briefly talked about his life experience, work ability, and relationship with his children.

At first, Jiuyuan just kept a smile based on the principle of politeness, but the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong...

This person should be quite skilled.Moreover, the supernatural powers he possesses are quite suitable for protection work or tasks with high dexterity.

And, him!meeting!Do!meal!

Let’s not mention the craftsmanship, as long as it’s not a person who has a dark eye for the kitchen, Jiuyuan thinks it’s very suitable, especially after hearing that Jiuyuan needs someone to do the kitchen work, the children also said that they can help.

"Although I'm not very proficient, my current body won't be injured anyway. I just need to try a few more times, right?"

"We want to help too!"

"Please, let's do something this time!"

Facing such active children, Jiuyuan certainly would not refuse.

On the contrary, Oda Sakunosuke, although he said a lot of things, he also concealed some things.

Jiu Yuan looked at him with a smile: "Do you not want to cause trouble for your friends?"

He nodded: "Although I'm gone, their lives are still going on. So I can't disclose their relevant information, sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, it's better to say that I am more satisfied with you." Jiu Yuan liked the human touch in him.

The shining points possessed by human beings are the best beacons of the soul.

Jiuyuan really hopes that there are more people like this around him, so that his life will not be so boring.

Recently, he often wonders whether it is because his life in the past ten years has been too boring that he has encountered such an exciting experience now. What I have to say is that he has indeed found many unprecedented things in the matter of observing people. pleasure.

After asking Oda Sakunosuke, he also knew the names of the children, four boys and one girl, all young.

And Hanako seems to be about the same age... Then, it is best to let the child get along with the child.

Otherwise, if they only rely on Oda Sakunosuke, the world will become closed.

"Next... I will arrange accommodation for you." Jiu Yuan said, "and introduce my companion to you."

"This is Bachi." He pointed to the man in the white skirt next to him and said.

The other party made an elegant skirt-raising ceremony: "I like children the most. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me~"

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Jiuyuan said in advance: "He is a man."

children:"?!?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "...?"

The difference in height made the children somewhat fearful of him, realizing this, Hachisha stepped back sadly.

Jiuyuan liked to see their reaction, and continued to introduce with a smile: "There is also... Hanako-kun over there, who is also my partner. Or, he is the acting store manager or something. You will work with him in the future. Work in the shop."

"...I really don't like being called that name by you." The black-haired boy came out from the corner of the room, and his appearance aroused the children's curiosity.

Because he looks about the same age as himself.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't speak, he didn't notice the child's aura at all.

(The Hachishaku I introduced just now...doesn't look like a human being either, and the name of this child...is probably not human either.)

He has a unique sensitivity in this kind of matter, so Oda Sakunosuke's eyes once again fell on Jiuyuan who looked calm.

Jiuyuan blinked playfully——

"As you can imagine, none of them are human...but I am a real human being."

Hanako immediately dismantled the situation: "The most vulnerable existence in the whole room is him. However, it is such a guy who always wants to do a big thing, so we have to worry about him..."

"Jiuyuan-kun is really a very willful child..." Mentioning his own highlight field, Hachishi looked at Jiuyuan with that obsessive and doting expression, "But, it is because he is too willful that people can't let him go. Make up your mind, don't you?"

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have some experience, nodded: "Indeed."

"If you talk about me like that again, I will really lose my temper with you. Compared with you monsters, I am indeed not that strong, but anyway, I am not made of glass, and I am not so fragile that it will shatter when touched... ..." Jiuyuan sighed, "Okay, Mr. Oda will follow Hanako to the new residence, there is a human child living there too... I hope you don't scare him."

"I understand." Oda Sakunosuke said, "I will take care of the children."

However, that night, the children who moved into the new home and reunited with Oda Sakunosuke were all so excited that they played games at the desk on the first floor and took out the books in the bookcase.

So Atsushi Nakajima, who got up to drink water in the middle of the night, was successfully frightened after seeing the books and cards floating in the air——

Nakajima Atsushi shivered under the quilt: "...Is this a haunted house?! This must be a haunted house!!"

……

……

Unaware of Atsushi Nakajima's miserable night, Jiuyuan slept late.

He took a long vacation from the school, and he won't show up at school until he settles down.

He asked Hanako to ask Atsushi Nakajima to run errands to buy materials for making cookies—of course, you can’t use precious prestige materials from the beginning. After all, everyone is a novice, and it will be a loss if they fail, so buy some ordinary cookies first. The strange materials let the children practice their hands with Oda Sakunosuke.

However, as soon as Hanako arrived at home, she saw Atsushi Nakajima with two big dark circles under her eyes.

Hanako: "...you didn't sleep well last night?"

He knows that some people accept the bed, so Atsushi Nakajima will also accept the bed, right?

The boy shook his head feebly, he couldn't say that the house was haunted, could he?

After all, Hanako herself is a monster!Telling him about this kind of thing is probably useless...?

It seemed that he could only get used to it slowly, so the boy patted his cheek, trying to cheer himself up.

"Well, what is my job today?" On the first day of work, Atsushi Nakajima still hoped that he could leave a good impression.

Hanako handed over the material list that Jiuyuan had copied from the Internet: "Go and do some errands and buy these things back."

"Butter, low-gluten flour, granulated sugar..." Atsushi Nakajima took a rough look and asked doubtfully, "...Is this for making food?"

... But he remembered that Hanako's store didn't sell food, right?

"Yes." Hanako said, "If you're lucky, maybe we'll be able to eat delicious cookies today."

Atsushi Nakajima did not know why, and after he came back with a large bag of materials, he was dragged into the store by Hanako.

What the boy didn't know was that when he was holding this pile of things, there were several children around him, who were eagerly looking at the materials in his hands. The children already knew that what they were going to make was cookies, and they whispered to each other:

"This is the material for making cookies, right?"

"I love eating cookies!"

"It would be great if I could succeed once..."

Atsushi Nakajima thought he and Hanako were the only ones in the room, but he didn't know that there were actually six other people.

The door of the room was opened again, but it turned into a warm bedroom in front of it. Judging from the specifications, it looked more like a dormitory.

Atsushi Nakajima put down the things according to Hanako's instructions, and asked in a low voice, "...Where is this place? It doesn't look like a kitchen either..."

"It's my friend's house." Hanako said vaguely, "It's just helping with errands, don't take it to heart."

"Ah, Hanako-kun? You came early today."

With an unexpected expression, Jiuyuan walked over from the side, saw Hanako and the young man beside him, and said, "Are you here to help too?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Help?"

Jiu Yuan looked at the pile of ingredients in his hand and said, "Make cookies."

Atsushi Nakajima: "???" Really want to do it?

"Since you're here, let's go together."

Jiuyuan borrowed the kitchen from the high school in the morning, and now that he is here, he can work together directly.

"Well... I hope there are enough materials."

Atsushi Nakajima, on the other hand, glanced at Hanako and then at Jiuyuan: "...The three of us shouldn't be able to use up so many materials, right?"

"What are you talking about...?" Jiuyuan glanced at him inexplicably, "Who said there are only three people?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "...huh?"

Jiu Yuan looked like a kindergarten teacher. He clapped his hands and shouted to the empty room: "Everyone, you can't do baking if you don't have a physical body. Well, come and get to know your colleagues."

So Atsushi Nakajima looked at the originally empty room in front of him, and suddenly one, two, three, four, five or six figures emerged——

Atsushi Nakajima: "?!!!!??"

The red-haired man started first: "I'm Sakunosuke Oda, please give me your advice. You seem to be a little sleep deprived. Did the children disturb you last night?"

"So, so... what happened last night was..."

Nakajima said hesitantly.

His gaze stayed on the children in that circle for a long time, and he felt more and more incredible.

"...Ah, sorry." Oda Sakunosuke apologized a little, "The children were too excited yesterday."

It took Atsushi Nakajima a long time to accept this fact.

(Ha... that... think about it carefully, there are monsters, and ghosts are not uncommon, ha, ha ha...)

He tried hard to convince himself.

In the end, with everyone's hard work, some decent cookies were actually made, packaged with the prepared colored paper pads, and divided into more than 30 to [-] small bags.

Jiuyuan took some and prepared to give them to the high school staff, and then said to Hanako: "If you meet a customer today, just give it away. Anyway, it's just some ordinary cookies made by hand."

He is very satisfied with today's progress. According to this efficiency, he can officially start making monster cookies tomorrow.

After Oda Sakunosuke and the others left, Hanako said to Atsushi Nakajima: "Next is our working time today."

"Huh?" Atsushi Nakajima recalled the scene when he summoned Hanako, he asked uncertainly, "...Is someone calling you?"

"Ah."

Hanako closed her eyes to feel the location.

It turned out to be an armed detective agency.
