The life of a migrant worker

I picked up a Fusangshen.

It is a bit distorted to say that I picked it up, because I am not a person who is divorced from reality, and I deeply understand how much I have.I have never had any experience in feeding small animals since I was a child, except for the big fat cat in the back mountain that can only inhale small dried fish crazily. I have only raised the ones that were forcibly assigned by the Ghost Killing Squad except cats and dogs. Chain crow udon.

Ibuki itself is the boss of cats in the entire area. Even without me, I eat well all day long. Udon is a full-time employee of the Ubuyashiki family. It is registered and has strong self-management skills.

Usually I don't have to take care of them, and at other times I can barely manage myself, and asking me to take in someone else would be killing my life.

So I never take the initiative to pick up living things and go home with conscience.

Unless they are desperate and take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

It's as if Oni Wu Tsuji has forgotten me since the last time he made a bad word.

But because of his attitude towards all ghosts, as long as they don't attract people's attention, they will be freed. I don't think he usually likes to bring all the cadres of Twelve Ghost Moons to meetings.

On weekdays, he raises his subordinates free-range, but when the KPI is assessed at the end of the year, he is merciless.

I'm afraid this guy is not very responsible as a leader.

Wu Mi's requirements for ghosts are undoubtedly only two points: eradicating Ubuyashiki and finding the blue flower of the other side.

But because he left in a fit of anger and didn't give me any special instructions, I simply regarded the tasks he assigned as ignorance.Anyway, I'm just a small, ignorant, converted, pitiful ghost. How can I be asked to complete all the things that other masters have not done for hundreds of years?

My friend from far away sent me a letter. Although we lost contact halfway because he moved from Edo to the countryside like Ukiyo-e Town, he has a big business after all. When I climbed Mount Hiei in my spare time, I was caught there The resident bull ghost recognized him as the master's friend.

In fact, at that time, I was tired of eating what I eat now, and I planned to find some wild food in the mountains with monsters.Suo Xinggui's body is also very healthy, and he won't get sick if he eats casually, so my diet has gradually expanded.The venison I had been looking at turned out to be a retainer of a good friend, even though I am thick-skinned, I feel a little embarrassed.

Because I wanted to maintain communication with my old friend, I moved out from the Wanshi Bliss Sect.As for the place to stay, I chose my safe house on Mount Mitake.

When doing dirty work for others in the past, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, colleagues would set up many places with supplies as hiding places to avoid the wind.

At my level, I don't need these things. After all, this is a world where everything needs evidence.Usually I act quickly and efficiently, and I don't carelessly catch people who slip through the cracks as witnesses to testify against me and my employer at a later date.

But I still have a safe house.

It is in the depths of Mt. Ontake, northwest of Tokyo, and it is inaccessible. It is a place in the mountains that is hidden deeper than the small mountain villages of local residents.The sunset glow here is beautiful, and the red maple is also very beautiful. A wealthy businessman was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here, and built a summer resort here.

But it may be because the mountains and rivers here are too nourishing for people, it didn't take long for the rumors of demons and ghosts to start in this house.

For example, in the middle of the night, there is the sound of "dong dong dong" drums in the warehouse, and the sound of rustling skirts and clothes on the floor in the corridor.Those who stayed here to guard the house even saw faint open flames lit up in the attic when they got up at night, anyway, it was all kinds of ominous things.

So there was a little trouble in the business field, and this mansion immediately became a hot potato that the wealthy businessman who couldn't make money was eager to sell, and I was the one who took over under unknown circumstances.

I can't even say that...

Because this is indeed a very grand mansion, maybe the wealthy businessman wanted to use it as a place for the elderly when he built it, and even bought a large piece of land on and near the mountain from the government with a lot of money.

Although it is very far away, it is considered to be a neighbor of Musashi Mitake Shrine. It is said that this shrine is a famous training ground, but it has nothing to do with me, a guy who neither believes in gods nor samurai. I just simply like that' Musashi' is just the word.

So instead of calling my property on Mount Mitake a safe house, it would be better to call it a vacation home.

The haunted incidents there didn't bother me much. Just think about it. There were supernatural rumors, but no one lost their lives. The spiritual power of the mountain range flows here, so it is particularly easy for the things in this room to become spirits or spirits.

Buying a house also gave me a complete dragon vein of Yuyue Mountain, no matter how I look at it, I earned it.

Why do I still have to keep saying that I am that stupid fool?

Because this location is too inaccessible, the villagers hardly get close to it.

After the well-built stone road, the surrounding vines and green plants will spread up when the spring rain is as moist as crisp every year. When the autumn maple trees are blown by the refreshing wind, the red leaves will rustle on the road. No one is hired. If you clean it frequently, you will not be able to see where the road under your feet is.

And it just so happened that because this house is full of ghosts and ghosts, the rule that there must be a brave man under a lot of money has expired. Every person who came to apply for a job had a nervous breakdown after staying for a few days, and fled here without paying his salary.

The air in the mountains was fresh and humid, and the wooden floor began to become damp within a short time.

Those who make big things don't stick to small details, I can just pretend that I didn't see it.

But what I have nothing to say the most is that this wealthy businessman was very Versailles when he chose the site, he only cared about the feeling of returning to nature, and did not consider the convenience of life at all.The place where people live recently is the shrine that can only be seen after walking for more than an hour, and it takes a long time to walk down to see the houses of the villagers.

What about eating?How should I eat the meal?No one is willing to work here even if I give money, so why not let me cook alone?

What about shopping?Do I still have to ship it up after I buy it?That small mountain village is even unwilling to accept my money sometimes, just wanting to barter in a primitive way.

The best thing about this house is that even if you leave it there, you won't worry about someone occupying the magpie's nest.

This place with beautiful mountains and clear waters is the best and safest safe house for ordinary people. After all, it has a group of monsters to guard the house.

When I left the Demon Slayer, I wanted to go to Kagoshima to be a fisherman, but I didn't think about going to Mount Ontake. It was all based on the careful consideration of Maslow's bottom-level needs.

But after becoming a ghost, I don't have to worry about these problems at all. Physiological needs, safety needs, and social needs have all become unnecessary things.

It was under such circumstances that I returned to my disrepaired residence on Mt. Ontake.

There is one thing to say, this house is quite scary in the eyes of ordinary people.The red lanterns with sticking tongues, the brooms with tiny hands and feet, the umbrellas with countless dense-eyed phobias, and even the black-painted basins of the round wooden barrels at home have become corner washrooms. monster.

But this situation is not painful or itchy for me. The candles are good enough to pay attention to lighting at night without adding lamp oil, and the brooms are good enough to clean up for me every day. Aju who stays in the well and counts the dishes is human Resource pump.

In the deep mountains and old forests where there is no way to enter the modern electrical society by wires, I have automatic home appliances that can be used without maintenance, and I am very happy when I suddenly think about it.

It's just that Fusangshen appear randomly and cannot be trained in a targeted manner. It is still a headache to encounter house-demolition monsters like Naruya who shake doors and windows, step on the floor and tear down the pillars.

That's how I met Fu Sangshen who came to my door.

At that time, I just came back from borrowing materials from Miyue Shrine, the neighbor on the opposite hill, with tools such as hammers, nails, and pliers in my hand, and I planned to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall at home later to repair the floor of the stairs at the door of my room. .

In the middle of the night, the dew was heavy, and I moved my whole body by pulling a hair in the woods. When I took a step, I touched the vines next to me. A guy in a white sheet.

Now that I'm not afraid of encountering any villains in the middle of the night, after all, according to common sense, after I become a ghost, I'm most likely to be the villain between the two.

So for a while, I didn't think there was anything wrong with a guy in white cloth appearing in the barren mountains and old forests, and even felt embarrassed for pouring water on someone else's head for a while, so I could only raise my voice and shout 'sorry' to him.

I confess, I'm not an enthusiastic crowd, I just want to go home and fix the floor at the moment, and I have to cut down the trees in the garden later, it's two o'clock in the morning, and the sun will come out before the work is done after a little longer, after all time does not wait.

But that guy stood there motionless. If he wasn't standing there, I would even think he was a dead person who was abandoned there.

When I got closer, I saw that he was not covered with a pure white cloth, but was covered with dust, grass leaves, and yellow-brown mud spots, as if he had rolled around in the grass——

To be honest, born in this world, I can only choose to respect everyone's interests and hobbies, and not to gossip about why others are rolling in the grass, but although he stands upright, he still shows a kind of puppy as pathetic.

"Do you want to come to my house?"

I tried to strike up a conversation with him, but suddenly felt that the conversation I blurted out had a strange taste like a kidnapper.

As if he felt someone talking in his ear, the young man who was staring down at a bush on the ground raised his head, glanced at me blankly, and subconsciously pulled the white cloth on his body, trying to cover his face.

His white cloth was completely wet from what I did just now, his blond hair was in a mess, some curled up and some hung down, water droplets hung on the hair, because of his actions, it slid all the way down his cheeks neck.

Being watched by such wet blue eyes, I instantly felt that my questioning was even more animal-like.

"Don't worry... If you feel scared, you can stand under the eaves of my house to shelter from the rain."

Relatively speaking, this sentence does not seem to be much better.

I noticed that the child's body was tattered, with deep or shallow wounds on the exposed skin.

Have you met the murderer?Or a ghost?

But Mt. Ontake is my territory, and this area is recognized by both youkai and ghosts as well as humans as a very good place.

Out of the sense of responsibility of a reliable host, I decided to take him home and bandage him.

Wash the wound, apply medicine, and then wrap it with a clean handkerchief to stop the bleeding. Although I have never taken care of others, I have been in the Butterfly House for so long.

Before pulling him into the courtyard, I kindly asked him again and again not to look around: "Please don't run around when the time comes, if you see something..."

——Why does it sound more and more like some heinous crime den?

I kicked the monster named Peng Hou into the grass, and I smiled at him weakly and forcedly: "You can just treat it as a hallucination."

However, my worries about the young man's fear of seeing inappropriate things are completely unfounded, because when I helped him deal with the wound, I could judge with the professional authority of ghosts on human blood:

Good guy, this guy isn't human either.
