In the small courtyard, there was only the chirping of cicadas in summer, and besides that, the weeds that had been blown in one direction by the wind also made a soft rustling sound.However, the two gazed at each other unaffected by temperature and climate.

——If a third person observes from the outside, what he sees is such a scene.

However, the real situation is that the system is quietly covering up its excitement.

[System: Are you about to start?Ready to start?What will Snowman do! 】

Jiuyuan pulled out a "reluctantly" smile, "...what are you doing here?"

"Don't you welcome me? Anyway, I'm also a customer." Xue Nan tapped his fingers on the table, "Speaking of which, you don't even pour a glass of water. Your restaurant's hospitality is really unflattering."

Hanako appeared from a dark corner, and he said with a half smile: "You are an unexpected guest, why do you ask us to treat it like a normal guest?"

"I thought it was enough to show my sincerity by doing it directly without entering the door."

What he said was arrogant, and it made Hanako Chenggong, who was already displeased with him, even more displeased.

As early as a few minutes before Yukio entered the door, Hanako showed her "perception" in front of everyone.

He said to Oda Tsukuru who was still next to the bookshelf on the first floor: "Mr. Oda, please take the children upstairs and hide them in the 'shop'."

Odasaku instantly restrained his expression, and let the children gather upstairs.He stayed by himself and asked, "What's going on? Do you need my help?"

Hanako rubbed the center of her brows in embarrassment. This old-fashioned demeanor looked rather dramatic on a child.

"The space in the 'store' is relatively safe, and the children's souls and bodies are relatively fragile and need to be protected."

(If you need to use the word protection, it proves that there will be a corresponding danger, right? Did you foresee something?)

Hanako continued: "That guy is not the type who likes to do things. It's just that I'm worried that the scope of the demon power will affect those fragile children. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. By the way, Mr. Zhu Fu also asked him to stay away Well... Mr. Xia You is back too..."

Before the words were finished, the doorbell rang.

Oda Saku followed the trend and saw that it was a young man with snowy hair, with outstanding looks, but in this extremely hot and bitter summer, his body was actually covered with cold and broken snow—this was too abnormal.

No, he immediately realized that this person should also be a monster.

Hanako's frown, which hadn't been stretched just now, frowned even more. Yukio put his hands in the sleeves of his kimono, and nodded towards Hanako with a gentle and polite smile. Before he could respond, he walked to the table and sat down. Down.

"Hello—" Hanako hadn't blurted out the words before the door was opened again.

This time, Jiuyuan, who was standing at the door, also showed a subtle expression when he looked at Yukio who was facing him.

At the same time, Zhu Fu Jingguang and Xia Youjie who were at the corner of the stairs on the second floor also heard the movement.

Especially the latter, who had dealt with Xue Nan personally, saw that Xue Nan came to visit alone, and his expression became complicated.

……

……

Back to the present, Odasaku looked at Jiu Yuan's expression calmly.

The young man walked up to Xue Nan and sat down, his expression became relaxed. He leaned back on the chair and asked, "So, what's the matter? I even bothered you to go there yourself."

Snowman folded his hands in front of the table, staring at the boy with a pair of ice blue eyes.

He cut to the chase and said, "I see."

His words sounded confusing, without even an initial reason, Oda Sakunosuke was listening, while observing whether Yukio would cause dangerous behavior to Jiu Yuan.

Snowman put his hand on his chin with a smile——

"You and Hachishaku seem to have some unpleasantness, ah, of course, this is not the topic of today. I just learned some interesting things, for example..."

"Your current state." Xue Nan said, "Sure enough, usually, even if I use the ability of mind control on you, it will trigger the 'safety device' on your body... I have been thinking, even if that person My lord, it would be too wasteful to divide a part of the soul and put it on your body as a protective umbrella, just set up an enchantment or a spell for you, wouldn't it be enough?"

"—Isn't that unreasonable?"

"However, if my guess is correct, then it makes sense." Xue Nan smiled, "It seems that we were all deceived by that lord."

Jiuyuan listened quietly.

After a little understanding of the ins and outs, the other people were also lost in thought.

"It's just why no one doubted it... No, it might be because of some psychological hints." Xuenan sighed, "Or maybe he trusted him too much..."

"Just say what you want to say." Jiu Yuan twitched his eyebrows, not seeing Xue Nan's way of wasting time by making mysterious detours.

"Sure enough, you and that adult are in the same body. You have shared the same body from beginning to end..."

In order to continue to complete this setting today, Yukio continued: "So there is no safety device at all, that's all he is. Although I don't understand why in this body, your personality is in the dominant position."

"Thinking about it carefully, apart from feeling the coercion of that lord, no one has personally seen him do it. Or maybe Ah Yin did it for him--of course, being able to control a big monster like Ah Yin is already a matter of course. It is very convincing, and he is indeed mysterious, but he often dispatches commands behind the scenes... Sorry, it’s too far away."

Axue looked a little confused, and he was obviously confused by his own conjectures and conclusions.

Or rather, not sure.

"He seems to be able to show up on his own initiative only in rare cases. If he has the ability to monopolize this body, why hasn't he done it? I always thought it was unnecessary. After all, he doesn't need to walk in the world. Now that I think about it, no He doesn't want to, but he can't."

Snowman smiled lightly.

Jiuyuan looked at him: "Then, why did you come to me and say these things? Don't forget, we share the same body, so he might be able to hear what you said."

"No, I just thought - 'There's no difference'."

"Or, 'There's no point.'"

"In this way, the competitive relationship between us seems to be a bit of a joke. After all, it seems that serving you and serving that lord can be equated in the future. Ah... It will make you feel uncomfortable to say that Well, after all, it's like saying 'your body will become his property sooner or later, so just serve this body and ignore the unwanted personality.'”

"It's just that the lord promised the competition between us. What does this matter mean to him?"

"If it's him, it's okay to just order me to assist you, right?"

"So, my appeal, rather my wish is—"

"Let's have a truce for now."

"I don't want to do futile work unclearly, at least until I figure out these things."

Yukio's truce declaration was simply not worthy of what he had said so eloquently before, and Jiuyuan dragged his chin and began to think.

"I see, I agree with your proposal."

……

……

After Xue Nan left, the living room returned to silence, and the rest of the people also returned to this space.

In their view, Jiuyuan compromised because the new store opened and did not want more accidents.

Zhu Fu Jingguang asked: "Is Xue Nan's oath really credible?"

Jiu Yuan shook his head, "That's not what he meant."

"Relax, everyone." Jiu Yuan explained: "Yue Nan should have sensed the signs, why this secret is being exposed now, as long as we combine the things that happened a little bit forward, we can guess the reason."

"And he probably guessed it. The reason why he was agreed to compete with me in two lines is because the master needs to put pressure on me through an external factor like Xue Nan. Once there is a loophole in my heart, he will occupy the body. It is an opportunity to take advantage of. Yukio probably guessed this and came to visit."

"He has no good intentions... Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this in front of me. This is not to be honest with me, but he thinks that another soul in my body must be able to hear what he said , but he deliberately said to show his loyalty to the other party."

"The other function of expressing loyalty is that he is telling his master that my mind control ability can help you complete tasks faster. So please allow me to give spiritual hints to the ability of 'Jiu Yuan'."

"He has an ambiguous attitude today, and even softened up a bit. The truce is only the first step. After we adapt to this rhythm, the next step may be that he will propose a reconciliation."

"Once I let him loose, he has the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Hanako frowned: "Then why do you still agree..."

After finishing speaking, the boy smiled reassuringly——

"Because, I also hope to use his hand to pry the secret from someone's mouth."

"Someone?"

"Don't forget, the only one who really serves that master and knows his details is Ah Yin. But it's not easy for Ah Yin to show up, or to intervene in the affairs between us...unless we kill each other. "

Jiuyuan complained in his heart, no, it's actually very simple, as long as he controls the character himself.

But he continued to say: "Xue Nan and the others will never take the initiative to confront us head-on. Only when we get closer can we have a chance to attack them and lure Ah Yin out."

Odasaku: "..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang always felt that the other party was deliberately summoning law enforcement officers: "..."

Xia Youjie, who was somehow familiar with this routine: "..."

So, the previous words are just a vaccination for them not to be relentless when they look for opportunities to persecute Yukio in the future, right?
