Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Is that so?

Kamijou Touma felt a little confused.

"You like that silver-haired girl, don't you?"

Then, Gu Mingdijue suddenly asked.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

I don't know the reason, but I can feel the girl's serious attitude.

Kamijou Touma blinked, as if vaguely aware of something.

"Well, I'm already engaged to her. We'll get married next year. Haha, it's weird to think about getting married before you graduate from high school."

The young man smiled a little embarrassedly.

"So, you really like her, love her, and are ready to spend the rest of your life with her, right?"

The monster girl who looked up at the sky asked again in a gentle voice.

"...Well, that's right."

It's really embarrassing to say that.

But instinctively, the boy felt that it was better for him to speak out, even if he didn't know the reason.

The boy in front of him turned his head slightly, as if he was looking at the distant scenery.The silence was maintained for a while, and Gu Mingji, who had his eyes closed, turned his head, shook his head slightly, and just stared at Kamijou Touma with the third eye suspended by his side.

"Human life is very short."

Gu Mingjue said softly.

"Without using any means of survival, a hundred years is the limit that most people can hardly reach. Whether it is love, hatred, or ideals, they will eventually turn into a handful of loess with the decayed body , no longer exists, this is an inevitable truth that cannot be changed.”

"Now you are friends with Mr. Jiang Ming and Mr. Virgil. After 50 years, you will still be friends, but after 100 years, 200 years, and 1000 years, they will continue to live as practitioners and half-demons. You will become history. Ah, that’s right, the long-lived and the short-lived, that’s true.”

In the murmured voice, she seemed to be saying something to Kamijou Touma, and also seemed to be saying something to herself.

"Well, Gu Ming, cough cough, Miss Jue?"

Kamijou Touma didn't quite understand the girl's behavior at the moment.

"Hmm, I'm fine."

Shaking her head, the girl opened her eyes and smiled at Kamijou Touma.

"You are my savior, Kamijou-kun, I sincerely hope that you will be happy and that your life will be full of joy and happiness."

Gently, the girl's footsteps approached the boy in front of her.

"This is my blessing~"

The soft, touch of a girl's lips blossomed on the boy's side face.

Surprised, Kamijou Touma took a step back subconsciously, his face turned slightly red, but Gu Mingji stepped back at a faster speed, turned around, and turned his back to Kamijou Touma to prevent him from seeing the smudges on his face. expression.

"I don't have any presents to give, just take this as a thank you gift, please don't mind."

The girl with such a chuckle left slowly along the stairs beside her.

On the other hand, Kamijou Touma stared at the girl going away with complicated eyes, hesitating to call her back, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to stand still without saying a word, just watching her disappear into his sight.

Ha, what do you want me to be happy, with such an attitude and tone, it is difficult for me to be happy, such things...

"Really, unfortunately."

The boy who sighed like this touched his side face, and couldn't help recalling the soft touch of the girl's lips, then turned around and saw Index standing behind him staring at him.

Kamijou Touma: "...Well, I think I can explain."

Index: "Dang—ma—"

Click!

Kamijou Touma: "Unfortunate!"

Wait, Gu Mingjue has the ability to read minds, if Index really came to his side, wouldn't she know?

Didn't that kiss just now mean...

Gu Mingji, who had already gone downstairs, couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling.

Kamijou Touma: "Unfortunately ahhhhh!!!"

And while the happy daily life at this moment continued, on the other side, in the sewer system on the edge of Zion, a man made of nanomachines, with only the upper half of his body left, was panting and crawling out of the sewage.

"I made it... I made it... haha..."

The so-called crazy individual staying in the building was a clone from the beginning. Molo had made such a plan long after he transformed himself into a mechanical life.

Next, as long as I recover, I can make a comeback——

【Lost child, have you ever looked up from the mud and yearned for true hope, even if it was just for a moment? 】

The pitch-black figure wearing a bird beak mask, spreading its pitch-black wings, and shining with purple light surrounded Mo Luo at this moment.

In the voice of compassion, there is a certain force that spreads irreversibly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Slightly, there are some unexpected ways of unfolding.

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, looking at the slim young girl standing outside the office door.

"Excuse me, can I apply for a maid in the firm?"

Gu Mingdi smiled slightly, looking very happy.

The time at this moment is half a month after Zion's week-long journey.

Jiang Ming, who still hadn't found a breakthrough and was stuck in the current state, opened the door for business as usual after refining some magic weapons, but found that the monster girl rescued by Kamijou Touma appeared outside the office gate. It looks like it's been waiting here for a while.

"Apply for a maid?"

Jiang Ming didn't quite understand.

"That's right, I hope to be able to apply for a maid and become a member of Mr. Jiang Ming's office."

Gu Ming felt very serious and nodded.

"Why do you want to come to me to be a maid? Among other things, your delicate hands don't look like a maid."

Jiang Ming folded his hands and continued to ask.

"Maid is just a description. Generally speaking, I hope to join the firm. After being rescued before, I was thinking, if I want to survive in this twisted world, a strong enough shelter It is indispensable, and the firm opened by Mr. Jiang Ming, in my opinion, is a very powerful and reliable force."

"Moreover, I also believe that I can provide enough value for Mr. Jiang Ming's firm."

"Whether it is relying on the ability to read minds to understand customer needs, to fight for the interests of the firm, or the details of various business negotiations, as well as the calculation of daily expenses, and I am very good at writing, and I can also contribute to advertising. Of course, I can also do the daily labor of a maid. Although my body may look a little fragile, but as a non-human monster, I am actually much stronger than I look. It is very easy to keep the office spotless things."

It seems that he is really a job seeker who is seriously applying for the job, as carefully as the recruiter is describing the advantages and benefits he has.

However, this guy's purpose is definitely not this, right?

Jiang Ming was very clear about the fact that this girl found Kamijou Touma on purpose before leaving Zion, and even kissed him on the cheek.

Could it be that he wants to use the relationship between the office and Kamijou to join us and wait for an opportunity to get close to that boy?

Jiang Ming couldn't help guessing.

"No, I'm not going to ruin his life."

As a matter of course, Jiang Ming's thoughts are clearly understood by Gu Ming's Earth Sense who can read thoughts.

"... Can your mind-reading ability be turned off?"

Jiang Ming frowned.

"If you turn it off, it can indeed be turned off, but I should lose my existence and die completely. My sister Gu Mingdilian almost couldn't maintain her existence because she closed her third eye. After all, this Ability is the foundation of existence of monsters like us."

Gu Mingjue answered very frankly.

"Does it mean that you can't control yourself to read other people's thoughts at any time? Well, I don't mind too much, but there is a rather arrogant guy in this office, you should understand that this kind of thing will cause the other party's dissatisfaction, right?" ?”

Jiang Ming sighed.

Don't even think about it, if Virgil realizes that Gu Ming's Earth Sense can read his thoughts anytime and anywhere, and he has no way to stop him, the demon king will almost 100% be furious.

"If it's this kind of problem, don't worry. Although reading other people's thoughts is an instinctive ability that I can't suppress, but now, I have actually found a way to suppress it."

Smiling again, Gu Mingjue stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the pink collar on his neck.

It has a special collar that suppresses and absorbs its own demon power. After being transformed by Gu Ming Jijue, it has successfully possessed the characteristics of suppressing its instinctive ability. If Gu Ming Jijue is willing, she can use demon power to stimulate this collar at any time to make her reading The mind ability is suppressed, although she can still read other people's thoughts even in the suppressed state, but the range and intensity will be greatly weakened, basically she can only read the thoughts of ordinary people who have no mental protection ability within ten meters , naturally Virgil will not be read.

However, it's hard to say if this is the reason why she left the collar on purpose.

"Well, it's not that I can't let you join, um, but I don't own this firm alone, so I have to ask other members what they think."

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ming, who was not disgusted with Gu Ming because he was a little clouded about the East, thought about it and returned to the office. At this time, Virgil, who had come back from his morning exercise, opened the back door and came in. The eyes of the two met. together.

"Virgil, there is a beautiful little girl who is planning to apply for a maid in the firm."

Jiang Ming didn't talk nonsense, and just spoke directly.

"I'm not interested in such trivial matters, just don't let a guy who doesn't know what to do to bother me come in."

Virgil, who answered indifferently, was obviously not interested in this matter at all. He went straight to the kitchen, drank the milk that Jiang Ming had prepared on the table earlier, and then went out to the library to read.Recently, Virgil seems to have found a few Greek philosophical works and read them very enthusiastically, basically spending the whole day in the library.

This guy really doesn't intend to take care of things at all.

Jiang Ming scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

However, since this is the case——

"Okay, you've been hired... By the way, you change your clothes too quickly!"

Gu Mingji, who had slipped into the office while Jiang Ming and Virgil were talking, changed into a simple maid outfit at this moment. Although it was not gorgeous, it matched her appearance differently. beauty.

Hearing Jiang Ming's voice, the girl just bent over slightly, lifted her skirt as a polite gesture.

"Then, let's get along well after today, Mr. Jiang Ming."

There was a little pride in the girl's voice.
