I will never give in to Miss Death

In "Detective Conan", when the shrunken Conan was asked his name, he happened to be standing near a bookshelf. In a hurry, he saw the words "Edogawa" on the book behind him, so he made up his own name, Edogawa Conan.

Well, knowing the origin of this name, I can imagine a similar scenario - the girl of death who has learned some forbidden magic and broken the dimensional wall between the two worlds travels from another world to the earth, and is at a loss when faced with the hustle and bustle of the human city. Assuming that the two worlds cannot communicate in the same language, she will need to spend a lot of time learning the language and writing here.

The Death Girl knows magic. Since she can sneak into the Public Security Bureau without being noticed and modify the ID card information and even make a real ID card by herself, it is not a problem for her to sneak into the human library in the early stage.

In my dream, I learned that a certain brave man liked to call the little demon from another world "Momo" or "momo". So, assuming that the Death Girl came across this book in some bookstore while learning the language, when she was asked about her name, she might have given herself a surname like Yin, which also contained the character "Mo" and was the name of the heroine in a book.

The above are all my reasonable guesses about the origin of Yin Xiamo’s name. I don’t know when she came to the earth, nor do I know what she has experienced from knowing nothing to being able to communicate normally with everyone now. Because I have no memory of my past life, I can only infer what happened through some strange dreams.

“A new buffet?”

Under the dim moonlight, I was a little confused as the Death Girl grabbed my hand: "Have you ever eaten at a buffet?"

If I remember correctly, this guy didn't even seem to recognize home-cooked dishes like "Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs".

According to Elodie's description, she should have rented the house several years ago, and it was Elodie's mother who was dealing with Yin Xiamo at the time, and she described the death girl as "a little silly and without common sense."

According to the timeline... Yin Xiamo, who learned time-travel magic a few years ago, came to Earth, but for some reason she didn't come to find me right away. She first learned as much as she could about Earth culture, named herself "Yin Xiamo", and somehow got some money to rent a house. Then she worked part-time, and finally found me. She traveled back to the other world and killed the Demon King during those few days...

No, no, it should be a little more complicated. If Miss Death named herself "Yin Xiamo", then she must have come to find me before, or at least investigated me and knew the surname "Yin".

Thinking of this, my scalp suddenly felt tingling.

Miss Death knew that my last name was "Yin" before she named herself "Yin Xiamo". She also knew my computer browsing history over the years and my various dark histories. What... does this mean?

It means that Miss Death has been watching her for several years.

Maybe she had already come to Earth when I was a college student, but she didn't "recognize" me immediately.

This is very consistent with the character of a certain "demon" in the dream.

Because I remember a little story in my dream: At that time, the brave man and the little demons were very hungry. They finally came to a new village. The village was also very poor. The village chief only brought them some porridge. The brave man just complained that he was a little hungry before going to bed. That night, the little demon went to sweep the surroundings without saying a word. When the brave man woke up, there was food in front of him.

That was also the most severe lesson the hero had given the little devil, telling her not to "bully the weak" and "have good intentions", and to always remember "don't throw away your kindness just because you have abilities".

Facing the hero's accusations, the little devil in the dream did not argue or speak, but it could be felt that she had realized her mistake. In the end, the two returned all the things they had stolen, and the little devil was dragged by the hero to apologize from house to house.

It is not difficult for me to imagine that when the girl of death with this personality came to Earth, with the lessons of the brave warrior in mind, she did not use her magic to bully ordinary people, nor did she do things like robbing money. However, when she first came to modern society, she did not know the language here, and she did not have an ID card. At that time, Yin Xiamo might have found it very difficult to even find a job.

The little devil in the dream will not take the initiative to trouble the hero no matter what happens.

She has a very weird personality. She won't tell anyone what she needs, and will just squat in a corner when she's hurt.

So... in the real world, such a little devil would most likely be "fully prepared" before he would recognize me as the "reincarnation of a brave man".

And this "preparation" took several years.

The little devil who remembered the lesson of the brave man was unwilling to use magic to hurt people. He had no ID card and did not know the language here. But because he was the god of death in this world, he would not die even if he was starving. He forced himself to learn the human language and the rules of this new world. Then, while adapting to the environment, he quietly watched me, waiting for the day when we could recognize each other...

I seem to understand how heavy the words "I won't die" sounded to Miss Death after I suffered such a fatal injury.

Maybe she had really experienced the situation of being extremely hungry but unable to die, having great strength and food all around her, yet having to force herself not to resort to violence to get food.

“Isn’t a buffet a place where you can eat whatever you want?”

When I asked, Yin Xiamo looked puzzled and said, "I asked when I received the flyer they distributed. It's a restaurant where you can eat as much as you want."

“That’s correct…”

I thought about it and asked, “Does that new restaurant have any special offers or anything you particularly want to eat?”

I have eaten buffets several times with my college classmates before. It is true that you can eat as much as you want without wasting food. There are many varieties of dishes and the environment is beautiful.

But relatively speaking, the buffet restaurant is much more expensive than the surrounding fast food restaurants.

In theory, those street-side fast food restaurants are also "self-service" in a sense, and adding rice and soup is free.

In fact, buffet restaurants are more concerned with the "atmosphere" and are more suitable for classmates to treat each other or for couples to cultivate feelings for each other.

I don't quite understand why Yin Xiamo, who usually only eats fast food nearby, suddenly wants to take me to a buffet.

"It's a celebration of your new job."

As I watched, the girl in front of me became a little impatient: "Why do you care so much? It's my treat, just enjoy your meal."

oh……

Seeing that the other party said so, I stopped asking questions and followed Yin Xiamo silently.

“Is the new cafeteria located in the commercial street in front?”

"how do you know?"

"A lot of new stores have opened around here recently, including two milk tea shops."

I smiled and said from behind: "Our store manager said so."

Yin Xiamo was silent for a few seconds: "Is the milk tea shop the one with the extremely expensive drinks, where a cup of milk is equivalent to a meal?"

"Have you eaten?"

"No, I have heard of it."

The girl said dimly, “Couples who come to the store to buy things sometimes bring this kind of drink.”

"So you've worked in that grocery store for all these years, and you've never had any snacks except for the fast food next door?"

"Leave me alone."

"I mean……"

I whispered from behind: "If you want to drink, I'll treat you later."

The girl turned around, and I saw her long hair sparkling in the starlight: "Hmm?"

"I mean, you treat us to the buffet, and we should all save some room while we eat. I'll treat you to the milk tea after we come out."

I smiled and said, "Human society is like this. You treat me once today, and I treat you once tomorrow."

"Is that so?"

The girl tilted her head, as if trying to understand, and reacted after a few seconds: "Humph, you don't need to teach me, I have already learned the so-called human society."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"..."

Since the big mushroom house of the coffee shop was built at the entrance of the commercial street, it only took a few minutes to enter the commercial street from here. Yin Xiamo and I found the way in after a while.

The tentative name of this commercial street is "Angel Street". At the entrance are two beautiful fountains and stone angel statues. The angels are wearing "God of Love" costumes and holding small trumpets in their hands. The water from the fountain sprays out from the trumpets and falls into the pool.

There is also a metal owl in the middle of the two little angel statues. In the owl's mouth is a sign that reads "Owl Lucky Water" -

[The water in the spring is drinkable Owl Lucky Water, which meets the standards for drinking water. You may gain some good luck after drinking it. Of course...unexpected things may also happen (if you have a stomachache after drinking the lucky water, remember to seek medical attention immediately)]

My god, the people who built this commercial street seem so unreliable.

As you walk in from the owl statue, what you see are rows of large houses that are similar to the commercial streets in the downtown area you imagine.

Jiege Optical Shop, Katyusha authentic roast lamb, Caicha jasmine milk tea...

Most of these houses are still under renovation, some only have a house number sign, and some already have basic equipment and props, but the doors are still closed. Only a few shops are open, and there are very few tourists around. It feels like even the urban village vegetable market at this time is more lively than here.

Moreover, because all means of transportation including trams and bicycles are prohibited here, passers-by are basically young couples in love, and it seems that they just pass by here for a walk after dinner.

"Xiao Mo, can I ask a more private question?"

I was being pulled by the girl in front of me as I walked along the deserted road of the newly built commercial street. Feeling the softness and warmth of the girl in my hands, I said, "There are rules regarding death."

"..."

Yin Xiamo in front was silent for a few seconds: "Okay."

"The Death Gods I saw before..."

I organized my words a little: "What are they?"

"They are all 'I'."

"Eh?"

"Two forbidden magics. One creates a rift between the two worlds, and the other is... the cosmic law of 'death' here."

"I...I don't quite understand."

"To put it simply, the me from that world replaced the 'Death' of this world and modified the laws here."

The girl in front turned around and said, "Before I came, the death of people here was simply the heart stopping beating, the brain dying due to lack of oxygen, and then the body functions being irreversibly damaged, and eventually returning to nature. My existence replaced this death process, and the death of creatures changed from natural physical death to near-death and then being taken away from the world by me."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"In terms of results, there is no difference. For example, an ordinary person shoots an arrow with a bow at a target. The bow string bends to gain elasticity, which is concentrated on the arrow and makes it fly out. Someone modified this rule and changed it to that he pushes the arrow with his own hands before the bow is shot out. All the arrows shot out will be pushed by his hands. It's almost the same idea."

Is it really similar to the situation in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica"?

"Those Grim Reapers I saw before were you...your clones?"

"it's all me."

"Eh?"

The girl looked at me as if I was an idiot and said, "The one here is my clone."

"then you……"

I felt like my brain was running out of ideas: “How did this happen?”

"It's very simple. Every person's soul is unique. I just need to make some settings on the clone that connects with you."

So this is also the reason why the existence of "Yin Xiamo" does not have demonic features such as pointed ears or black skin?

"That……"

For some reason, I was a little worried: "Will you disappear?"

"meeting."

A statement that made my heart beat faster came out of Yin Xiamo's little mouth.

"I am a clone that connects to your soul. When you die, I will naturally disappear."

"but I……"

I was even more confused: "Didn't you say I was immortal?"

"Yes, your body is set to be immortal."

I saw an obvious smile on Yin Xiamo's lips: "You asked me if it will disappear. I can only answer yes. When you die, my clone will disappear, but your new body that I set up with all my magic power is indeed immortal. Is there any problem?"

"Okay you!"

I then realized that I had been tricked: "Why don't you just say you won't disappear?"

"Because it's fun to watch you put on a silly hurt expression with this stupid loli face of yours."

"Who is the stupid loli?"

"A little maid named Yin Nuoer, a stupid loli."

"you……"

It took me a while to suppress the anger in my heart: "I...uncle doesn't bother with stupid loli."

"Don't be an uncle, you can't change back."

Walking in front of me, Yin Xiamo deliberately stretched out her hand to touch the hair on my head, then moved her hand to her mouth and took two steps back: "Little Loli, you have to eat well, okay?"

I couldn't bear it any longer and swung my fist at this guy's head.

Then my fist was easily caught by the other party.

"You are no longer a hero, but I have become the master of death."

Looking at me very proudly, the girl in front of me grabbed my fist with one hand and said proudly: "You have no chance of winning."

hateful……

I withdrew my hand depressedly.

I've been working out a lot recently. Once I develop my abdominal muscles, I don't believe I can't beat you.

"..."

"welcome!"

Led by the Grim Reaper girl Yin Xiamo, we came to a luxurious-looking buffet restaurant at the back of the commercial street.
