[Exorcism] Broken Gears

Inaccessible towns that stay the same day.

I don't know if the exorcist can get in... If you can't get in, just smash the shell?

"Alian, have you gotten used to being in the cult these few days?" Next to him, Li Nali, the partner of this mission, interrupted Alian's thoughts.

"Well, everyone is a very kind person." Thinking of the welcome party the day before, Allen's shallow smile couldn't help but deepened a lot.

Every time, as soon as I opened the door of my room, I would say to the empty room: "I'm back."

Assuming that my house is alive and waiting for me, even when Tim is not there, I feel at ease.

It's been that way since Manner's death.

But, now, something has changed...

The Order became my home.

my real home.

Anyway, these people are different from those ordinary people, they will not leave this world suddenly because of some simple accident.

So their warmth is completely acceptable.

That's right, almost as good as it gets...

[completely wrong]

If this continues, this kind of warmth will definitely become my concern and burden.

Although I understand it, I still can't help but yearn for it...

Stupid greed.

I can't control my unrepentant desire no matter what.

Still wanting extravagantly?This is not the first time! !

Not the second time, even the third and fourth times have been used up early.

When you lose it, it's too late to regret it.

So, control it properly.

If you lose it, forget it.

Anyway...just remember the mana one.

"It feels like the Order is really 'Home'."

Allen smiled sincerely.

"Really, that's good. I... can't get along with everyone no matter what."

Ah... indeed.

For some reason, sometimes I feel that the smile on Li Nali's face that remains the same to everyone is somewhat similar to her.

"Hey...Li Nali, didn't you join the church together with Chief Komui?"

"Hehe, I was alone at first, but after my brother came, I felt a lot more relaxed." Li Nali smiled bitterly, "It seems that I can't leave my brother for the time being."

"Oh? The current situation is just the opposite!!"

"Ha ha......"

"Anyway, it's great to have a real family member." Allen half-spoken to himself.

"Well, yes." Li Nali nodded.

>>>>

While the two were chatting, they arrived at their destination before they knew it.

"It's really possible to go in, let's split up."

"Well, meet up at the tavern over there."

The two separated.

In order to familiarize himself with the terrain and prevent getting lost, Allen started a quick walk in the small town.

However, luck is really unexpected.

Looking at the woman blocked by a demon in the alley, Allen raised his lips.

"Hello, devil~!"

With that said, he rushed up.

>>>>

"But after I dealt with the demon, that woman had already run away." Allen said with a frantic look on his face, "We must ensure her safety before the next demon finds her again!"

Li Nali patted Allen on the head: "It's okay, I've found a clue. If that's the case, let's ask people on the street separately."

"Yes, but... wait, Li Nali." Allen suddenly whispered, "There are three level two demons on the counter over there."

After greeting each other, they launched the Innocence.

——"It's a monster again—————!"

Suddenly, a woman behind them screamed.

"Ah! It's that woman, Li Nali!"

Surprised, Allen pointed at her and called out.

"Quick, you use 'black boots' to bring her home first!"

After watching Li Nali and the woman leave, Allen turned his attention to the demons.

"Next... the situation seems to be a little bit bad."

The sound wave that can shatter the brain, the wind scythe created by the strong air pressure, and the "ice fire" that is hotter than the flame, all three are not very easy to deal with.

>>>>

"ran away?"

"That's right, I ran away for no reason... I was eager to kill me, but I suddenly retreated."

"However, it's really good... That situation is dangerous... The evolved Innocence will increase the burden on the body, Aren, you can't use it for a long time, right?"

"Ah, it's not impossible to use it for a long time, it's just a little tired..."

Alian's smile was a little more relaxed and disapproving, which made Li Nali completely relieved.

While they were talking, the woman named Miranda suddenly stood up from the ground.

Stiffly walked to the side of the bed, lay down, and covered the quilt.

"...Miss Miranda?" Li Nali greeted with some concern.

"Li Nali, look!"

Allen pointed to the clock in the house and exclaimed.

The hour and minute hands are going retrograde.

All the time in the room was sucked away by it.

When it stopped, the sun was shining through the window.

—It is already morning.

"Eh... when did I fall asleep?"

At this time, Miranda finally sat up from the bed with a confused face.

"...this clock...is the Innocence!"

"Miss Miranda, please think carefully about the day when the town changed. What happened?"

"...That day..." Miranda thought carefully, "That's right, it was the day I lost my job for the first time..."

"It's sad. After getting drunk, I lay down in front of the clock and complained a lot of words, such as 'Enough, every day is unsatisfactory!' or something..."

"'It doesn't matter if you don't come tomorrow.'"

"...That's why."

"Scared...? Just, it's just complaining, how is it possible...and why did the clock do this?!" Miranda looked disbelieving.

"Could it be...Miss Miranda is eligible for this Clock Innocence?"

After thinking for a while, Li Nali made a guess.

"So the clock is responding to Miss Miranda's wish, and it all makes sense!"

"No, it's impossible! I want to restore the time, but the clock doesn't respond?" Miranda weakly supported the wall.

Seeing Miranda's tangled appearance, Allen froze.

"I think...is it because Miss Miranda's resentment was much stronger than usual, so the clock didn't stop?"

Li Nali's mouth twitched.

"...maybe that's it."

"The town suddenly became strange, and there were monsters...everything was messed up...what should I do?! Why am I the only one in these crises Woolen cloth......"

"It's okay, there will always be a way, and everything will be fine!"

Looking at the self-pitying Miranda, Allen walked over and patted her on the shoulder with a smile.

"Hasn't the reason been found out?"

"Next, as long as we make Miss Miranda more optimistic, Innocence may end these troubles, and Miss Miranda, your life will return to normal."

He pulled up Miranda who was kneeling on the ground.

"Let's start by getting a job!"

>>>>

Said to look for a job, but failed every time so far.

...I've never met such a person before, so strange.

Are there really people in the world who can't do anything well no matter how hard they try?

It is impossible to imagine how such a waste can survive.

In the past, as long as you didn't do your best...

There is no way to survive.

hate hate hate hate...

Bad memories or something, still can't completely forget.

Really, it is obviously useless, why is it still occupied in my head?

Na na, if you think too much, it will be bad.

Pull yourself together and help Miss Miranda find a job.
