Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

"Ming, the sealed holy relic is more dangerous than you imagined, so please be careful!"

Seeing Kato Megumi's serious eyes, Xu Ming nodded involuntarily.

"I will."

Xu Ming stood up and said something to Shiina Mashiro beside him.

"Let's go, Shiina."

However, he got no response.

Xu Ming was a little puzzled, and looked down, only to find that Shiina Mashiro was slightly closing his eyes, and his little head was pointing.

She actually fell asleep...

Kato Megumi covered his mouth and smiled lightly, then restrained his smile, and told Xu Ming:

"Ming, take good care of Miss Shiina, her 'eyes' can help you."

Xu Ming glanced at Zhenbai who was sitting and sleeping in surprise, and nodded.

"I see."

Xu Ming woke Shiina Mashiro and took her out of the temple.

Unexpectedly, the young lady who sent them here was still waiting outside.

"His Highness Yu Shenzi ordered me to give you a ride."

Facing Xu Ming's puzzled gaze, the witch explained.

Then the two got into the car, and the miko saw that they were directly sent to their destination.

As soon as Xu Ming got off the car, he saw a building with simple and elegant decoration appearing in front of him.

This two-story building has the style of the Edo period, with square paper lanterns hanging from the eaves, hexagonal stone lamp posts on both sides in front of the door, and wall panels made of bamboo splicing and painted brown.

It's just that the main entrance of the building is two transparent glass doors.There is a plaque hanging on the door with three traditional Chinese characters written in dragons and phoenixes - Drunken Mountain Residence.

Just as Xu Ming walked over with Shiina Mashiro, the waitress in Edo-style kimono behind the door quickly opened the door.

"welcome!"

Then a middle-aged man dressed like a grocery store owner in a bathrobe came up to him.

"Do you two need help?"

His attitude was very respectful and polite, not because Xu Ming and Shiina Mashiro were only high school students and wore cheap school uniforms, showing a hint of contempt or belittlement.

Xu Ming looked at everything in the antique shop without any trace.

There are all kinds of antiques in the store, ranging from warrior armor of the Warring States period, to ancient Roman stone carvings and bronzes, to European medieval ornaments, bronze mirrors, music boxes, to Chinese porcelain, and famous calligraphy and paintings. .

It can be seen that the furnishings in the store have obviously been hand-crafted by famous masters, and they are miscellaneous but not chaotic. On the contrary, they perfectly combine the classical beauty of the East and the West.

Seeing all this, Xu Ming secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The clerks are well-trained and well-trained, and it looks like they have undergone long-term training. The decoration and layout of the store look like they have been designed by famous masters.

Various details show that the power behind this auction house is not small.

Fortunately, he got the 'tiger skin' from Kato Megumi before he came.

Xu Ming didn't talk nonsense, and directly showed his ID.

"Sorry, I need to talk to your store manager about something."

The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.

He carefully took the certificate in Xu Ming's hand, looked at it, and then secretly sized him up, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

Soon, his expression returned to normal, and he bowed to Xu Ming.

"This guest, I am the store manager. Could you please wait a moment, I need to ask for some things."

Xu Ming knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to check the authenticity of the certificate and ask the people behind him for instructions.

After all, the certificate looks too bluffing, and Xu Ming looks too young, plus the sleepy Shiina Mashiro beside him, it seems unreliable no matter what.

Xu Ming didn't point out his little thoughts, and directly made a gesture of "Please go ahead".

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to the female welcome at the door.

"Hua Ling, take the two guests to the VIP room."

"Hi!"

The hostess immediately trotted over, welcomed Xu Ming and Shiina Mashiro to an elegantly furnished room on the second floor, served tea and wagashi for them.

Ten minutes later, the store manager walked into the VIP room and immediately bowed to Xu Ming.

"Guests, do you know how I can help you?"

Xu Ming smiled slightly, thinking to himself.

It seems that this tiger skin is not bad.Megumi Kato was sitting in a quiet courtyard, with her legs resting on the side of the corridor, revealing a pair of pink feet, shaking back and forth, humming a song softly, looking very leisurely.

At this time, Lu Wei in the opposite pond was filled with water, and the bamboo tube tilted over in an instant, making a soft sound.

Boom!

"Hong, you seem to have something to say."

Kato Megumi said suddenly.

Then a woman's voice came from the shadows of the room.

"Your Highness, why did you give him such a valuable thing? The last time Prince Chizunai asked you for it, you didn't give it."

Kato Hui said lightly:

"Didn't I explain it just now? This is a resolution made by the association to reward Mingjun for completing difficult events twice."

"……Yes."

Xiyanghong heard that her master was unwilling to explain more, so she quickly shut her mouth.

As a ninja, Sunset is very clear about her responsibilities.She is a poisonous dagger in the master's hands, she only needs to know what the master wants her to know, and don't care about things that shouldn't.

It's just that duty is duty. As for what she thinks in her heart, naturally only she knows.

However, as Kato Megumi's personal bodyguard, Xiyanghong knew very well that the association would only reward non-staff personnel like Xu Ming with money, and would never give such precious treasures.

As for any decision of the Exorcist Association, it may not be worth a word from her Patriarch.

……

After a brief introduction, Xu Ming learned the name of the middle-aged store manager in front of him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Ming didn't want to delay the time, and went directly to the topic.

"Master Mota, in fact, we are here to investigate the whereabouts of a paintbrush.

This paintbrush should be a relic of Katsushika Hokusai. About a month ago, a lady named Nakajima sold the paintbrush to your bank. Do you have any impression? "

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Manager Mota immediately frowned and began to think.

Soon he seemed to remember something, and a dazed look appeared on his face.

"I remembered that there was indeed such a lady. At that time, she seemed to be eager to sell the paintbrush, and she didn't care about the price seriously, so I was more impressed."

"Where is this paintbrush now?"

Having found the right direction so quickly, Xu Ming was shocked immediately and asked.

Unexpectedly, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Mao Tian's face.

"This... this brush was sold two days ago."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Who did you sell it to?"

Xu Ming's tone subconsciously became hurried.

"This... This is the privacy of the guests, it is really inconvenient for us to disclose..."

Mota subconsciously wanted to shirk.

"Shop Manager Mota, I'm not asking you on behalf of a private person!"

Snapped!

Xu Ming stood up suddenly, put his hands on the coffee table, with a serious expression, and stared at the other party sharply.

Manager Mota shook suddenly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

He quickly remembered that when he talked with the boss just now, the boss repeatedly explained that he must try his best to meet the other party's requirements, and that those who bought brushes could only be regarded as ordinary rich people, and the background was still within the acceptable range, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's the boss of the Chongguang Group, Shigemitsu Katsuichi!"

The expression on Xu Ming's face immediately changed from cloudy to clear.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

"You're welcome."

Mota wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with a handkerchief, even he himself didn't understand why he was afraid of a boy who looked like a high school student.

He just felt that there was an inexplicable courage in this young man, not the kind that the superiors exert on the inferiors, but rather like the natural oppression of a predator on its prey.

After getting the information he wanted, Xu Ming didn't intend to stay for a long time, so he directly offered to leave, and store manager Maotian graciously sent the two of them from the VIP room on the second floor to the store entrance.

When passing by the lobby on the first floor, Xu Ming turned his eyes and saw a blond young man in a black student uniform picking things under the hospitality of the female shop assistant named Hualing.

The blond man seems to have taken a fancy to a beautifully styled music box.

This music box is like a small jewelry box. It is made of metal and faintly exudes silvery white light. The surface of the box is carved with complicated and fine patterns. The lid is inlaid with 13 emerald green gemstones, emitting a faint green light.

Open the inside and seal the mechanism at the bottom with a red crystal. The clockwork of the music box is on the back of the box, which is in the style of a key inserted.

The entire music box looks extremely quiet and beautiful, full of mystery.

Hua Ling saw that the young man was very interested in this music box, and immediately introduced it with a smile on his face.

"Sir, this music box was made by the famous Swiss teacher Baker Bradrick in the [-]th century. It is a perfect birthday gift for girls!
