"It's not that there's a problem, it's just that it's difficult to handle."

Shirasaka scratched his head. From the portrait of a girl with a drooping face printed on the documents in his hand, he was sure that this was the girl who had been waiting for him at his door yesterday.

But just by looking at her name, Shirasaka already felt a headache.

【Seven Colors Mio】

The three points of intelligence gave Shirasaka an extremely powerful memory, so that he easily associated another name in his mind - Nanashiki Jiachuan.

It was just a few days ago that an old "acquaintance" died because of one of his sleeping spells.

The information about her that was subsequently displayed in the file also confirmed Shirasaka's guess. This somewhat pitiful girl was the only daughter of that evil cult member.

As for her background, there is no need to mention it. She has a bad father and is either being abused or on the way to being abused every day. The scars on her face left from her childhood have made her a target of bullying by students at school.

Most of the wounds that Shirasaka saw were caused by these reasons. Overall, the word "miserable" was definitely not enough to describe her.

The more crucial point is that the part about her family members is blank except for Nanase Jiachuan who has become an acquaintance. This also means that her only concern in this world has disappeared.

Shirasaka had no doubt that this was Japan and not America. Otherwise, when would someone with such a background tell his friends not to come to school tomorrow and then walk into the school gate carrying an AR15?

She now appears at her doorstep, obviously she already knows something, and it is very likely that she will take some retaliatory actions against her, which is also normal.

Putting away the file in his hand, Shirasaka rubbed the non-existent stubble on his chin. He was not too worried that he would get into trouble because of the revenge of such a girl who was always bullied. He simply didn't know how to deal with her.

No matter what, it is a fact that her father died because of herself. I can't send her to reunite with her father, right?

Before she did anything to retaliate in a way that would harm herself, Shirasaka tried her best not to be so ruthless.

"She hasn't been to school for two days."

"If you need any help, please contact me."

Ichinose Kagami obviously knew something. After getting Shirasaka's reply, she nodded at him, indicating that if he really encountered any problems, he could contact her to solve them.

Shirasaka was not surprised when she thought that the anti-demon ninja organization this guy belonged to seemed to have some official background or something.

What she had done before was not a secret, so it wouldn't take her much effort to find out.

"Let's talk about it later. It shouldn't be necessary to ask for your help. Let's wait until she actually does something before considering a solution."

He let out a long sigh. Although he had solved the doubts that had been bothering him, Shirasaka still couldn't solve the headache. It was even more annoying.

It would be fine if Nanase Mio was a bad person like her father, and he wouldn't mind helping her reunite with her father, but the problem was that she was also a poor child, and just looking at her experience was enough to make people sympathize with her.

Rubbing his temples, Shirasaka decided to think of something else that would make him happy.

"I've already given you a heads-up from the official side. You're now considered a non-staff member of the Demon Ninja. Normally, they won't give you any trouble. If you have anything that's difficult to handle, just contact me."

Ichinose Kagami seemed to have noticed that Shirasaka didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he turned to talk about other things.

When investigating Shirasaka before, it was discovered that he had been detained and investigated by the authorities. Now that he is considered his companion, Ichinose Kagami will of course find a way to help him solve this problem.

Therefore, Shirasaka couldn't help but sigh that in terms of reliability, there was probably no one more reliable than the three-no girl in front of him. Isn't this a bit too thoughtful?

In comparison, there was a certain girl who was a complete negative example. Shirasaka felt like rolling her eyes just thinking about her.

They are both beautiful girls, why is there such a big difference between them?

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

As if he had thought of something, Shirasaka asked Ichinose Kagami about something he had wanted to ask her for a long time.

"You said."

"Do you know any masters with strong fighting skills? The kind that are really good at fighting."

"Have."

"Who?"

"I."

"..."

Chapter 41: Shenbin's Biggest Coward

Shirasaka was somewhat skeptical about Kagami Ichinose's claim that she was a fighting master.

The main thing is that she doesn't even look like a match for a mountain witch, so her strength is really not convincing enough.

However, out of trust in her, Shirasaka still made an agreement with her to go to her house in the evening to test her fighting skills. After all, Shirasaka had never seen Kagami Ichinose lie.

This reliable girl either doesn't speak at all, or once she speaks, she's probably confident.

After resolving the doubts in his heart, Shirasaka said goodbye to Kagami Ichinose and returned to his classroom.

The matter of Nanashiki Mio needs to be dealt with one step at a time, but because of her appearance, Shirasaka suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to deal with something.

As for the girl's father, he is involved in a huge cult organization. Judging from the reaction of Kagamihara Ichinose, it seems that he has not found any relevant information. This is quite intriguing.

After all, she is a member of an organization with an official background. Even so, she didn't get any relevant information?

Shirasaka believed that Ichinose Kagami would not associate with any evil cult. This girl had a very righteous character and her fans were all people who were specifically used to bring disaster upon others. It was probably unlikely that she would protect a cult that took human lives lightly.

That meant that the things involved behind this might be even larger than the anti-demon ninja organization she belonged to, and it would definitely not be an easy task to thoroughly investigate it.

Regarding the matter of the cult behind Nanashiki Iegawa, Shirasaka has no intention of explaining it to Ichinose Kagamikabe for the time being. This girl is too conscientious in some aspects, and Shirasaka does not want to involve her in things that have nothing to do with her.

If that's the case, if we want to start the investigation, we must start from Nanashiki Ieka. The only person left who has contact with him is Nanashiki Mio.

"Looks like we can only wait and see. I hope she'll still be there today."

Thinking of the girl hiding in the corner and just looking at him quietly, Shirasaka could only sigh and shift his attention to other things.

In fact, excluding the line of Nanase Jiachuan, there are still other entry points. According to the tips given by his own think tank, his beautiful boss Wu Lu Yuyi is not as simple as she seems. She probably knows some inside stories, otherwise she would not be involved in this matter.

Well, if I can't get in touch with Nanashiki Mio, then I can only go find her.

Since that incident, I haven't visited Wu Lu Xiao Cheng. I can take this opportunity to give her two sets of three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulations. Just thinking about it is something worth being happy about.

Whenever he thought of the little girl Wu Lu Xiao Cheng, Bai Saka's mood became a little better, especially when he thought of the "gifts" he prepared for her, Bai Saka felt that there might be no one better than himself in the world.

With a smile on his face, Shirasaka quickly made plans for the future. The afternoon passed in a flash, and he soon walked out of the school as he wished, carrying his backpack.

Things like eradicating Chang'an certainly cannot be done every day. Shirasaka doesn't want to face those ugly monsters every day like going to work. Anyway, given the current situation, he is not in a hurry to become stronger so quickly. Instead, he can better adapt to the current rhythm by taking it step by step.

This is also the reason why Shirasaka didn't go to find Ichinose Kagami to go to Tokaido. Who goes to work every day?

After casually buying two sets of test questions suitable for Wu Lu and Xiao Cheng in a nearby shopping mall, Bai Saka did not forget his idea from yesterday. He went to the flower shop next door and bought a money tree.

Regardless of whether it works on this kind of potted plant, I still have to give it a try, right? There's nothing to lose anyway.

When Shirasaka returned to the door of his rented room with a plastic bag of study materials in one hand and a half-man-high money tree in the other, he met the familiar figure again as expected.

After taking a look at the girl named Nanashiki Mio, and then shifting his gaze to the rope tightly held in her hand, Shirasaka's mind started working frantically at this moment.

Was she planning to ambush him at her doorstep? With her tiny figure, was she planning to kidnap him?

Or does she actually have the special abilities of that evil cult, so she came prepared?

Ten thousand guesses flashed through Shirasaka's mind, and finally, after he saw clearly where the knotted rope in Nanashiki Mio's hand was connected, it completely turned into a fact that left him speechless.

Why tie the rope to the clothesline in front of your house when there are so many places to tie it?

Combined with the small stool she was putting under her feet, which she had found from somewhere, Shirasaka's expression twisted into one that was neither funny nor sad.

"You, you don't want to hang yourself at my doorstep, do you?"

Throwing down the test paper in his hand, Shirasaka grabbed the back of the girl's clothes, who was stunned for a long time and then turned around to run away. He lifted her up with one hand, then looked directly into her eyes hidden by her messy long hair and asked.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never imagined that one day someone would take revenge on him by finding an opportunity to hang himself at his doorstep.

What the hell is this prehistoric cowardice?

Nanashiki Mio's action of turning her head away and refusing to look him in the eye, as well as her body trembling slightly, perhaps out of fear, were all tacitly confirming this fact to Shirasaka.

"No, sisters, can't we have some courage? Even if you were to lie in ambush at my door today and spit at me, I would have recognized your courage. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to make me feel guilty, or are you planning to turn into a ghost and come back to take my life?"

He almost pointed at the guy's nose and started to complain. Shirasaka really couldn't imagine that if he had come back a little later, he would have found a corpse hanging on his doorstep.

This is too hellish!

"Will not."

Nanashiki Mio lowered her head and refused to let Shirasaka see her expression and eyes. She spoke for the first time. Her voice was so soft and humming like a mosquito. If Shirasaka's hearing had not been enhanced, he might not have been able to hear it clearly.

Then, he noticed that the girl tightened her grip on the rope, and Shirasaka saw clearly that there were actually a few yellow talismans stuck on the rope in her hand.

Well, shouldn't I thank her? She even thought of such details. In order not to disturb others, she rejected the chance to become a ghost herself, right?

Shirasaka covered his face in despair, grabbed the girl who had completely shrunk into her shell like a timid snail, and threw her into his room.

He is really scared of this kind of revenge!

Chapter 42 Give You a Chance

Putting the things in his hand aside, Shirasaka finally had some thoughts and looked at the girl who had subconsciously shrunk into a small ball in the corner since he caught her.

With her arms tightly hugging her shoulders and her head buried in her chest, the girl leaned against the corner of the wall and curled herself up into a ball, trying to expose as little of her body as possible.

——This is an action that only people who have been beaten for years would subconsciously do to protect themselves.

"I'm not going to hit you, do you want some water?"

Seeing her like this, Shirasaka of course couldn't really deal with her. He just went out and took down the rope she used to hang herself, then took a glass of water from the kettle and placed it in front of her.

It's definitely not a good idea to keep this guy outside. There are just few tenants in this apartment, but it's not really empty. If someone sees a fallen girl like this sitting at your doorstep, won't your reputation be ruined in minutes?

Besides, she could have hanged herself at her doorstep at any time. If someone saw her, it would be even harder to explain.

Nanashiki Mio, who was originally curled up in a ball, was ready to be beaten, but after waiting for a long time, all she got was a glass of water handed to her by Shirasaka. She then raised her face from her arms a little and looked at the boy in front of her with a puzzled look.

"Who taught you to take revenge like this?"

Seeing that she had no intention of taking the water, Shirasaka did not force her. He just placed the cup in front of her, rubbed his eyebrows, and repeated the key question.

He had seen many ways of revenge, but it had to be said that this was the first time he had encountered something as outrageous as hers.

Shirasaka didn't know how to complain for a moment, and could only hope that she could come up with a more appropriate reason.

Nanashiki Mio shrank her neck like a guinea pig and stopped reaching out for the cup on the ground because of Shirasaka's voice. Her head dropped as if to shrink into her chest, and she had no intention of responding to Shirasaka's words.

"No, can you be reasonable? It's true that your father died because of me, but he asked for it. It's not like I went up to kill him on purpose. He wanted to die, so how could I stop him?"

Shirasaka looked at her, smiled bitterly, then sat down opposite her and started to talk to her seriously.

If she is really unreasonable, then Shirasaka can only find a way to send her to the police station. Those cops can't rely on anything else, but keeping an eye on a guy like this shouldn't be a problem, right?

"..."

"sorry."

Nanashiki Mio lowered her head, and just when Shirasaka thought she would answer him with silence again, she once again apologized in that soft and timid voice, sounding like a wail.

Along with this, she sobbed as if she couldn't control her emotions. Her small body trembled restlessly, as if it would break at any time.

"Is this the time to say sorry? If you know it's wrong, then don't do it."

Shirasaka sighed deeply. She was the one who killed her father, so why was it her turn to apologize?

What on earth did this girl in front of me go through to develop the personality she has now?

"Sorry……"

All that answered Shirasaka was the apology that Nanashiki Mio kept repeating, and her little head kept nodding up and down, as if only this could bring her a sense of security.

Seeing that this guy was clearly going insane, Shirasaka covered his face, decisively raised his hand, and waved it lightly towards the girl curled up in the corner.

The next second, the apology she was still mumbling stopped abruptly, and her head wrapped in black hair drooped completely. After her tense body relaxed, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

Shirasaka has no experience in comforting young girls. Even Kunou Moko, who has lived with him since childhood, has never needed his comfort.

So, with the idea that she would be fine after a good sleep, Shirasaka decisively chose to use magic to keep Nanashiki Mio quiet for twenty seconds.

Taking this opportunity, Shirasaka finally calmed down and analyzed the current situation. He rubbed his face, then turned around and took out a fruit knife from the kitchen.

Twenty seconds passed in a flash, and the sleeping girl seemed to wake up from a nightmare. After a start, she opened her eyes and her breathing became rapid again.

But when she saw Shirasaka swinging a fruit knife in her hand, a look of relief inexplicably flashed in her eyes, as if she had finally waited for the long-awaited ending.

After meeting Nanashiki Mio's gaze, who had stopped trembling, and seeing the look of relief in her eyes, Shirasaka had no intention of explaining. He simply held the fruit knife in his hand and forced the handle into the girl's hand.

"I know you want revenge on me, and there's indeed hatred between us. How about this? You take this and stab me. After that, we'll both be even. Is that okay?"
