Zongman, daily life starting from hunting the supernatural

The boss has always been thinking about her.

Find a way to make her safer.

Yotsuya Miko could never forget how soundly she slept on the night her boss gave her the rosary.

Yotsuya Miko really couldn't imagine whether she would be able to meet a reliable boss like Sakurai again after choosing another path.

Sakurai said she drew a bad fortune, but for Yotsuya Miko.

She drew a very good lot.

Her luck has never been so good.

"Really? Do you think so?"

"That's up to you."

What Yotsuya Miko didn't see was the almost invisible change in the corners of Sakurai's mouth.

Regarding Yotsuya Miko's answer, Sakurai...

is satisfied.

The assistant he accepted on a whim...

Unexpectedly not bad.

43. The red string that connects you and me

"Hurry up and catch up."

With a frown on his face, Sakurai whispered to Yotsuya Miko, who had come to her senses and started to feel shy after saying something to her.

"Oh oh oh."

She responded quickly, looked at the dark abandoned factory, looked at Sakurai's strong and powerful back that gave her a sense of security, then looked at the two-meter distance between her and him. Her shyness was replaced by the desire to survive and she couldn't help swallowing.

She ran behind Sakurai in two or three steps and grabbed her empty left forearm with one hand. This kind of scene is very common in horror movies. If she is not careful, she will be separated from the boss for one reason or another.

She was too timid to think about what would happen next.

Sakurai felt his arm being grabbed and turned his head expressionlessly to stare at Yotsuya Miko.

Being stared at by Sakurai, Yotsuya Miko reflexively shrank her neck and almost buried her face in her coat.

The strength holding my arm loosened a tiny bit.

Then he gritted his teeth and grabbed even harder, the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible, and he looked determined to live and die with Sakurai's left hand.

If she was able to do it and had a little shame left, she would have wanted to rub herself into Sakurai's body and act like a pendant.

after all...

In this abandoned factory where bad things are lurking in secret, the only one who can give her a sense of security is the boss.

If she were left alone, she would really die.

She will really die in front of Sakurai.

He cried his heart out before he died.

What should I do? Should I pull my hand out forcibly?

After all, the assistant was brought here by me, and although Yotsuya Miko has already agreed, she is still a novice after all, so it is understandable that she is afraid.

If I really leave her alone, I always feel that my conscience will condemn me.

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's pitiful expression as if her little pearl was about to drop, Sakurai, knowing that he had a little responsibility, hesitated for a moment.

Then he pulled out his left hand without hesitation.

"If you hold it like this, it will affect your movements if a fight breaks out."

With eyes wide open and unable to believe that Sakurai would really be so disrespectful of her girlish heart, Sakurai silently gave his answer.

After thinking about it, Sakurai felt that this was indeed a bit too much and felt that he had to take some care of his assistant's self-esteem.

I'll need her help with experiments in the future, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to just ignore her mental health problems.

Sister Manfuyu also said that a girl’s heart is a very precious thing.

Thinking this way, Sakurai still had some interest.

Well...

Is there any way to ensure the safety of my assistant without affecting my actions?

With...

With a gleam of planning in his eyes, Sakurai silently took out a remnant of a rope from his shoulder bag. He got it from a ghost that looked like a little girl on the way here.

But I didn't eat it right away because I wasn't hungry. I didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

As expected of me.

Thinking of this, Sakurai tied one end of the rope to his left wrist, and tied a knot with the other end and tied it to Yotsuya Miko's hand.

I moved around a few times without having my hands held to limit my movements.

He looked at Yotsuya Miko's face again, and it seemed that there was still a hint of satisfaction in her confusion.

Well, if there is an emergency, it is more convenient to break the rope than to break your hand.

It is also relatively easier to cut the rope to ensure that my movements will not be restricted. In the end, it is a bit of a waste, but I think my assistant may still need it in the future.

The scrapping of a relic doesn't seem to be such a loss.

Very good, then everyone is happy.

He nodded to himself, taking care of his assistant's girlish heart and ensuring that his own actions were not restricted, and Sakurai silently gave himself a thumbs up.

"It's almost here, get ready."

In the end, Sakurai still reminded Yotsuya Miko.

"Uh-oh."

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to be sad about.

Knowing that there was no turning back, Yotsuya Miko raised her left hand.

The rope tied around his wrist connected him and Sakurai together.

like...

It’s indeed not that scary anymore.

Jianzi thought so in his heart.

very good...

This is the assistant I want.

Sakurai himself was very satisfied with Yotsuya Miko's reaction.

That's how it should be. At the beginning, you are just a complete coward.

Now I have started to face it, even if it is behind me...

Just come a few more times and you will become a mystic who can stand on his own.

By then, some simple tasks can be handed over to assistants, but basic training is required before that.

Sakurai has confidence in Yotsuya Miko.

In this regard, Sakurai is more confident than Yotsuya Miko herself.

This is also the reason why he had to get the address from the unscrupulous businessman and drag Yotsuya Miko over even though he could have done it alone.

In terms of motivation, it is true that he had experimental factors in mind at the beginning, but since he really chose Yotsuya Miko, he must also take responsibility for it.

Regardless of whether you need to see your son or are willing to do so.

Now that she had made a choice between the Glass Shrine and him.

He will take responsibility and teach his assistant how to face the "talent" given to her by God.

You have to know that many people who make a living in the field of mysticism do not have a pair of eyes like Yotsuya Miko.

If he remembered correctly, the famous Shitamachi Goddess nearby could only vaguely see the shadows of some stronger spirits.

Even so, she could still become a famous mysterious psychic.

Well...

This is getting off topic. Anyway, even though he didn't show it, he really was optimistic about Yotsuya Miko.

Otherwise, if he was just an assistant, there was no way he would have taken Yotsuya Miko to the unscrupulous businessman's shop.

You have to know that not everyone is qualified to be received by that guy who has been alive for who knows how long.

At least if he hadn't taken down the unscrupulous businessman head-on, he might have been treated as a commodity when they met that day.

It was even more impossible for him to know that there was an unscrupulous businessman behind his being [placed] in Ichinose High School.

A cunning old man.

That guy, even though he appears to be humble and kind in front of him, is actually not a good guy.

The kind who will kill someone if they disagree with you.

Sakurai is quite clear about this.

certainly...

This doesn't prevent Sakurai from having a good relationship with that guy.

From ancient times to now, the only one who can legitimately ask for milk and drinks from the bartender in the izakaya is Sakurai.
