You say this is a love game?

In order to maintain Brother Cleaver, he had bought a series of knife maintenance packages before. At that time, he maintained Brother Cleaver according to the specifications of maintaining a samurai sword, which made Brother Cleaver very happy.

He also kept all the knife oil and tools well.

“Proper maintenance is also very important for knives.”

Although Chidorimaru no longer has to worry about durability, as a swordsman, Mizutani Makoto still pays great attention to the maintenance of his knives.

"This is also a way to strengthen the bond."

This is the passionate bond between the swordsman and his sword!

By the way, it's time for him to take out his Liaoyuan Tachi and Jingshui Tachi and take good care of them...

But considering that Chidori can easily become a jealous person, I will take care of Chidori separately today.

There was no burst of lightning from Chidorimaru, which meant that Chidori still acquiesced.

"First, clean..."

Hiding inside Chidori Maru, the Soul Sword Girl squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Hum~hum~"

Chidorimaru itself does not have delicate senses. No matter how much Mizutani Makoto torments Chidorimaru, Chidori will theoretically not react.

But she was in a good mood.

Ordinary knife maintenance is actually meaningless to Chidori Maru.

But as a sword, she enjoyed this moment very much... All of Mizutani Makoto's attention was focused on her "beloved sword". At this moment, only the sword master and the sword were left.

So, even though Chidorimaru didn't feel any touch, she still felt as pleasant as if she was being massaged.

This emotion came from deep inner satisfaction, and it was the first time she had experienced this novel thing.

"This guy does have his merits..."

Humph, he's smart...

Thinking of this, Chidori couldn't help but hum softly.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the streets of Night Light City.

Miyamizu Inouye took her favorite custard bun and nibbled on it in small bites.

Shuten leaned against the side with a smile on his face, laughing from time to time, just enjoying the fun.

Little rabbit, you are in a really bad mood now.

"I never thought that the killer I've been tracking for so long would turn out to be Mizutani-san's girlfriend. We just happened to pass by each other!"

"Looking at Mizutani-kun's look, is he planning to protect his girlfriend?"

"Alas, since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women, and heroes and heroes have been trapped by love... It seems to be a historical tradition."

Miyamizu Inaba took a bite of the custard bun and then refuted Mizutani Makoto.

"That's not the case. Mizutani's girlfriend seemed to have a particular way of killing people."

In terms of the intelligence network, Miyamizu Inaba basically relies on Miss S to show off her power.

Miss S, on the other hand, showed special interest in the murderer and the Yajima family.

Therefore, Miss S was paying close attention to the changes on their side yesterday. After Mizutani Makoto was swept away by the evil wind, Miyamizu Inaba directly contacted Miss S and asked Miss S to help investigate what information Hayashibara Takuya was hiding.

After checking, I found something wrong.

This guy is actually a bad guy.

Of course, Miyamizu Inaba would not think that this was information found on the scene.

"She must have known about it in advance."

There is no doubt that Miss S's intelligence network is much stronger than Miyamizu Inaba's. Since she can contact Hayashibara Takuya, she must have investigated Hayashibara Takuya's background a long time ago... She just must be worried about something and didn't tell Miyamizu Inaba directly.

Shuten was quite insightful: "I feel like she knows you too well and is afraid you'll kill the victim before the killer even makes a move."

"Do I look like someone who doesn't care about the bigger picture?"

Gong Shui Daoyu took the last bite of the custard bun.

"I know you're not, but Miss S is just cooperating with you, right? How many times have you killed victims? In her eyes, you're probably a double-edged sword. Some things are definitely better kept secret from you~"

Shuten shrugged.

Grasping the characteristic of "whether the victim deserves to die", Miyamizu Inaba followed the clues and asked questions, and finally got the necessary information from Miss S.

The victims killed by the murderer were all unclean creatures.

This was a ghost-exorcism commission similar to one in which a vengeful spirit was seeking revenge, meaning she would most likely kill both the vengeful spirit and the victim.

"The problem now is..."

"Senior's girlfriend, is she a human or a vengeful spirit?"

Miyamizu Inaba is very concerned about this matter...

Shuten looked at the little girl with a smile, and of course he understood Miyamizu Inaba's depression.

It will definitely be depressing.

This little girl is at the age when she is full of emotions.

You see her having a second-year syndrome attack, and you see her keen on gossip, and then you eavesdrop on her inner thoughts... Wow, after being a lone wolf for so long, she actually met a like-minded and reliable senior, and with the intervention of someone, they had a little ambiguity that was hard to talk about. If this continues, wouldn't it be a standard plot of a young girl in love?

However, what stood in the way of Miyamizu Inaba was the sad fact that Mizutani Makoto already had a girlfriend.

And now, that girlfriend has participated in the exorcism that no third party should be involved in, and Mizutani Makoto has turned his sword against her to protect his girlfriend... The depression in his heart cannot be expressed in just a few words.

It is normal to know that Mizutani Makoto will protect Yajima Mai.

But how can a girl’s mood be so “reasonable”?

Shuten finally understood that this girl was just sulking...it might be Mizutani Makoto's, it might be Shuten's, or even her own. Trying to understand such complicated and entangled girlish feelings would definitely be a bore.

Do not care.

Anyway, Miyamizu Inaba has gone through many storms and will recover soon.

In fact, Miyamizu Inaba's choice was exactly as Shuten expected - by directly focusing on the business, she could reduce the complicated emotions in her mind.

By doing this, she won't always think about love affairs...

Miyamizu Inaba took a deep breath and her eyes fell on the phone screen.

Now, too many things happened one after another, so she asked for leave directly and asked to meet Miss S.

Inaba: Do you have time now?

Inaba: A lot has been going on lately... I won't hide it anymore. I've been keeping an eye on this case for a while now, and the source is a rift at Yami High School... This rift is of great importance, and I'd like to discuss it with you in person.

Now, Miyamizu Inaba had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

But she is an outsider after all. Even Mizutani Makoto doesn't dare to say that he fully understands the truth behind it. As an outsider who has never even entered the crack, her thoughts are even more confused when facing the Yajima family and matters related to the crack.

She could only hope that Miss S knew more.

[Ms. S: As expected, you already know about the gap.]

【Ms. S: As expected of you. 】

[Ms. S: But meeting you, Inaba...hiss, to be honest, I'm a little scared.]

【Inaba: We've known each other for so long, what are you afraid of? 】

Miyamizu Inouye calmed down and suddenly realized that Miss S knew her inside and out and they had worked together over the years. If Miss S was afraid of her, there was only one possibility.

What is the greatest characteristic of Miyamizu Inaba?

A ruthless monster-killing machine.

Then why is Miss S afraid of her?

[Inaba: ...Are you not an exorcist? ]

【Inaba: Are you a monster? 】

【Ms. S: Ahem.】

Gong Shui Daoyu was immediately shocked.

"A monster has infiltrated your human exorcist forum?"

Shuten couldn't hold it in any longer.

She laughed beside him and hurriedly urged him on.

"Hurry up, hurry up, what kind of monster has done this? Hurry up and agree to guarantee her personal safety. I want to see who this master is!"

Don’t even mention Shuten’s desire to see him.

After learning the truth, Miyamizu Inaba also developed a strong curiosity about this "Miss S".

No wonder she never meets people offline...

It turned out to be a monster...

That's why Miss S has so much information about monsters...

Wait, then what she did before wasn’t that evil and rapist?

Miss S always reports the locations of some monsters to human exorcists, leading them to exorcise the monsters. This is definitely a monster standing on the side of humans.

[Inaba: You know me well. I was a bit harsh on the evil spirits and demons, but I would not kill innocent people.]

[Ms. S: That’s what I said…]

[Ms. S: Forget it, it's already this late, let's not waste time on it. It would definitely be better if we could meet in person.]

[Ms. S: Just wait here. I know where you are. I'll come find you right away.]

So, Miyamizu Inaba began to wait.

While waiting, she began to speculate rather boredly.

"This secret agent Miss SS, what kind of monster could she be?"

"A youkai that is friendly towards humans?"

Shuten tilted his head and mused, "It's really hard to guess. Whether it's a big monster or a small monster, there are some monsters in legends that tend to favor humans. Guardian gods are also a possibility... Even some neutral or evil monsters may turn over a new leaf and help humans under the influence of experience. Similar things have happened before."

"It's too difficult to guess the monster based on your position."

Fortunately, Miyamizu Inaba didn't have to wait too long.

There were light footsteps coming from behind her.

Miyamizu Inaba turned around and saw that it was a mature woman.

She wore an extremely fashionable straw hat, a wine jug tied around her waist, and held a parasol in her hand. Her figure was extremely plump, especially her chest, which was incomparably incomparable... with a human heart.

...Big, big sister.

Gong Shui Inaba opened her mouth slightly.

She felt a shadow looming over her, just like the feeling of powerlessness that Lina Xita Little Potato felt all over her body when she looked up at the mountains, which suddenly made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Suffocated.

Xiao Lei’s party can’t breathe.

Shuten was also choked. She glanced at a leaf stuck on the top of the woman's straw hat and sniffed the air.

"raccoon……"

"She is a raccoon."

Chapter 154: The limit of Huawu Chacha's rank: the corpse under the cherry tree clue seven.

"Hua Li?"

After receiving Shuten's reminder, Miyamizu Inaba subconsciously glanced at the top of the woman's head in front of her, and sure enough, she found a green leaf on her straw hat.
