Shinobu Kocho nodded and said goodbye to her two new acquaintances. Although she had enjoyed their company and was a little reluctant to part with them, she didn't want to relax too much before she could exterminate the demons.
"You've seen the price; it's really not expensive."
Gengo led Shinobu along the path, took a slip of paper from his pocket, handed it to her, and then whispered to her side by side:
“I have recorded here the cost of everything you gave me, and my service fee has already been deducted. So what do you plan to do with the remaining money? If you want to take it back, then come with me, and I will exchange it for gold or silver.”
"Well... let me go back and discuss it with everyone."
Shinobu Kocho looked at the slow-paced city and said in a somewhat bewildered tone:
"We never expected your place to be in such a state. We might need you to continue buying goods for us in the future, so let's not exchange them for now."
"okay."
Gengo tossed the card into Shinobu's arms, wrapped his arms around the back of his neck, and tilted his head back, saying:
"Take this back with you. At least let your master know where all the money went. I don't believe that the Demon Slayer Corps wasn't badly hurt by taking out such a large sum of money all at once."
"I understand."
Shinobu obediently put the card away, then closed her eyes, listened carefully to the surrounding sounds, and after confirming that no one was around, grabbed Genji's wrist and said apologetically:
"Um, you really can't get that 'thump thump thump' and 'tap tap tap' sound from earlier?"
"Do you want me to rob an armory?"
Unexpectedly, Shinobu Kocho also took it to heart, and Gengo smiled helplessly:
"Besides, that kind of stuff isn't very effective against ghosts, so don't waste your money on it."
"Yes, I was too greedy."
Butterfly sighed, then said nothing more, simply following Gensou back to the detective agency.
"I won't be going back with you this time."
Gengo tidied up his small stash of snacks, packed them into a large bag, and stuffed it into Shinobu Kocho's hands:
“Take these things back to Kanao. She was scared last time. Please put in a good word for me so she won’t run away from me in the future.”
"...Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
Shinobu Kocho narrowed her eyes subtly at Gengo, who stiffened and quickly waved his hand, explaining:
"No, no, I just wanted to let you know in advance so I wouldn't forget about it when you leave, haha. Um, if I hadn't come here to try out the game I just bought, 'Miyazaki Hidetaka 21' is so exciting to play."
Seeing Gengo's earnest attempts to greet her, Shinobu couldn't help but laugh. She put down the bag, stepped forward, and gently hugged Gengo. Gengo immediately raised his hands, and then a whisper sounded in his ear:
"Thank you so much. I am truly grateful for both my sister and the Demon Slayer Corps."
"You're welcome. This is my commission, and it's my duty to complete it perfectly."
Gengo proudly puffed out his chest, which caught Shinobu off guard, causing her to stumble back two steps. Taking advantage of the moment, Gengo grabbed a photo from the side and pointed at it, saying:
Look, this is me.
"...Oh, then I'm leaving."
Shinobu's lips twitched slightly, but she ultimately swallowed the retort that was about to come out. She picked up the snack bag and walked towards the glowing door, but before opening it, she hesitated, then turned back and said:
"If, and I mean if, one day you want to move to a different place for a while, how about coming to visit the Demon Slayer Corps?"
018 Kirisu Mafuyu
Shinobu Kocho didn't mean anything by saying that; it's just that when she was shopping with those two people today, she noticed that the city's attitude towards Kamen Rider was almost polarized.
Those who love him are like Nanoha Takamachi, revering his existence, and some even regard him as a savior; those who hate him are like the old man sitting alone at the street corner, despising everything about him and regarding him as a demon who brings disaster.
This is a very abnormal situation. The lord once said that no matter what, once it goes to an extreme, it is extremely dangerous. She is very worried that this knight in the shadows will be harmed.
"I have no intention of moving."
Yuanxiang then found two more bags of dried fish in the cupboard, stuffed them into her bag, and smiled as he looked at her, saying:
"But even if I have nothing to do, I'll still go for a walk around your place. I can't waste the three chances I have to grind experience every day."
"Experience? What experience?"
"Haha, it's hard to explain in a short time, let's talk about it another time."
Gengo waved to Shinobu Kocho, who had already opened the door, and said, "Give my regards to your sister and Mr. Himejima."
"I will. Goodbye."
Shinobu Kocho returned to her world. Genji stretched, then opened the refrigerator, looked at the scattered ingredients inside, and decisively decided to go out and find a place to have dinner. He really didn't want to eat stew in a big pot.
His first choice for dining out was naturally Yi Chui Ramen, which was just two streets away. It was delicious and inexpensive, and even someone with his appetite could get a full meal with just one bowl of noodles.
However, after a busy day, Genji forgot one thing: the route from the office to there would pass through the apartment complex, and there...
Seeing the teacher sitting on the flower bed in her professional attire, Yuanxiang's expression changed slightly. He pressed down on his hat, pretending it was blown away by the wind, and turned to leave. However, the piercingly cold gaze from behind made him stop in his tracks. It wasn't that he was afraid to fight, but he was afraid that this person would really sit there all night.
"Teacher Kirisu, I remember I just tidied your room four days ago."
As Gengo walked upstairs, he whispered to the female teacher beside him. Her name was Kirisu Mafuyu, and she was Gengo's homeroom teacher at Fuuka High School. She was also Gengo's former history teacher. To be honest, Gengo was originally quite afraid of her because she always had a cold and unapproachable demeanor. In particular, Gengo was not very good at history, so he became the teacher's main target of attention.
It wasn't until one of his commissions that he accidentally glimpsed the scene of a car accident in Kirisu Mafuyu's room. Yes, a car accident scene... no, even if it was a car accident scene, Gengo thought it was cleaner than the room. And, what was most ridiculous was that Kirisu Mafuyu was too scared to go in because of the cockroaches that had been attracted to the room, which is how Gengo discovered this.
What else is there to say? Yuanxiang picked up his tools and cleaned up his teacher's room, and also did a thorough job of killing the pests. After all, when you see cockroaches, it usually means that there are already quite a few in your room, and these things are very hard to kill.
Once everything was done, Gensou left gracefully. At that time, he comforted himself, thinking that Kirisu-sensei was probably too busy during this period and hadn't had time to take care of his own affairs, so it was just an accident.
Then, once...twice...three times...Gengo herself has lost count of how many times she has cleaned Kirisu Mafuyu's room. Sometimes, she feels embarrassed but still manages to clean it herself. The worst part is that after she cleans it up one day, it becomes messy again a day or two later.
It wasn't that she was lazy; she was trying her best to tidy up. It was just that her housework skills were really not good enough. It was better not to tidy up at all than to tidy up. Yuanxiang was amazed by her talent.
"It's over...it's over...my dignity as a teacher..."
Even though this had happened many times, each time Kirisu Mafuyu would hang her head in despair and mutter to herself. Gengo didn't continue to rub salt in her wounds. He stood at the door, took off his hat and coat, put on his apron and gloves, took a deep breath, and then went all out.
“Teacher Tongxu, it’s better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. Why don’t you swallow your pride and take a housework class?” A moment later, in the newly renovated apartment, Gengo looked at Kirisu Mafuyu, who was pouring him tea, and said helplessly, “Even if I don’t charge you for your services, this is not a long-term solution.”
'Bang.'
The teapot and cups clashed with a crisp sound. After a moment's hesitation, Kirisu Mafuyu seemed to remember something, her eyes instantly turning lifeless, and she said in a completely flat tone:
"Useless. I don't think any housework class can teach you as well as you."
Hmm... that might be the truth.
Yuanxiang was speechless. He looked at the teacher in front of him. She had emerald eyes, waist-length cherry-colored hair, straight bangs, and braided sideburns. She was tall and slender with a well-proportioned figure. Since her personal clothes had been thrown into the washing machine, she was still dressed in her professional attire. Black stockings covered her long, shapely legs, and her curled toes were faintly visible.

"Excuse me! What are you looking at?!"
Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes suddenly revived, staring at Gengo with her usual terrifying gaze. Gengo silently patted his hat and said in disbelief:
"It's nothing, it's just that the 'ice queen' in my heart will never come back."
"Nonsense! I, I... um..."
Kirisu Mafuyu slammed her hand on the table, trying to protest, but after babbling for a while, she couldn't find a way to refute it, so she slowly lay down on the table and let out a mournful cry like a young animal.
"So, Master Bronzebeard, are you expecting anyone to come here soon?"
After a moment of silence, the two of them simultaneously ignored the heavy topic. Gensou picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked curiously. Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief:
"How did you know about the doubts?"
"It's very simple."
Yuanxiang tilted his head and glanced at the corridor where the trash bags had just been, and said softly:
"Since there isn't much trash this time, you should be able to hold on for another two or three days if nothing unexpected happens."
"It's a disgrace to be so well-informed about this by my former students...it's truly shameful..."
Kirisu Mafuyu lowered her head again and said in a muffled voice, "Tomorrow, I'd like to invite Nanoha to come here for a visit."
019 I believe in Kamen Rider
"Nanoha skipped a grade and went straight to high school?"
Yuanxiang stared in astonishment.
"Foolish! Who skips from elementary school to high school!"
Kirisu Mafuyu immediately raised her head, glared back, then lay back down, explaining in a low voice:
“After the start of the school year, Nanoha’s older sister, Takamachi Miyuki, will become my student, so… in order to preserve my dignity as a teacher, I think it is necessary to clear up the misunderstanding from the past.”
Haha, it's a misunderstanding.
Yuanxiang tilted his gaze slightly and chuckled dryly. That time when he went downstairs to throw out the trash, the child saw him. Actually, it wasn't a big deal, and he could have just made up an excuse to get away with it.
However, her own teacher was disappointing, practically wearing "this is my trash" on her face. Fortunately, Nanoha was sensible and immediately pretended not to recognize who it was, looking up at the sky and skipping past. Otherwise, Kirisu Mafuyu would have wanted to commit suicide that day.
"Kirisu-sensei, Nanoha isn't that kind of child. She won't say anything."
Gengo gently comforted Kirisu Mafuyu. Although he was kind-hearted, he had a cold face. The more nervous she was, the more frightening his expression and eyes became. He was afraid that the situation would become very awkward. He didn't want Nanoha to have any psychological trauma related to high school at this age.
"No, I need to make sure everything is absolutely perfect!"
Kirisu Mafuyu looked up at Gengo, her eyes burning with the spirit of a teacher:
"If this kind of thing were to be leaked by accident, I wouldn't be able to stay at school."
"I always have a feeling that one day I will be silenced."
Yuanxiang touched his forehead, nodded gently, thought for a moment, and continued:
"If that's the case, why not just invite Miyuki Takamachi?"
"Ok?"
"look."
Under Kirisu Mafuyu's astonished gaze, Gengo dipped his teacup in water and gestured on the table, saying:
"Just call Miyuki Takamachi here under the pretext of 'getting a heads-up about your history studies,' let her see your tidy room, and then you can move to another apartment to avoid the risk of her coming to your door and catching you in the act. Wouldn't that solve the problem? Why are you so fixated on Nanoha? She's not your student."
"Indeed...indeed!"
