I, the lord of ghost stories

"So, Miss Shenshen, what kind of house do you want!"

A signboard reads "Housing for Rent". Under the small storefront, a green kappa who is shorter than ordinary people, with a fresh lotus leaf on his head, leans helplessly in the narrow storefront.

His expression was helpless, and on his rough green skin, there was a layer of glistening sweat dripping faintly.

"A house with a monthly rent of less than [-] yen."

"Miss Shenling, please, a house with a monthly rent of [-] yen is almost impossible!"

"Why are you talking in your sleep? There are tourist attractions nearby!"

The kappa complained, but still found a thick house introduction from under the polished wooden cabinet.

"Let's look for it from here. If there is no accident, these are places that no one wants to rent, and they are all very cheap."

The rainwater gathered from the ancient blue and black tiles into small streams, rushing down the two sides of the shop.

"These don't look like good places..."

Xizi flipped through the album, and found that it wasn't the precarious Weifang, it was simply a barren no-man's land, or it looked like a very suspicious area...

"I'm a big shot in your trade union!"

Yuu Sifeng smiled and stood behind Xizi, nodding slightly to the Kappa in front of him.

The Kappa touched the leaves on his head with some trepidation. The dew inside swayed and swayed, but it seemed to defy gravity, and it just wouldn't roll off the leaves...

It is not so much dew as it is a characteristic of the kappa, a part of its body that cannot be easily evaporated or slipped out.

It is said that it has the effect of nourishing the body... Kappa monsters, the water in the leaves above their heads can also tell their state.

At this time, the dew was rolling violently, showing the change of mood of this Kappa.

Asakawa City Youkai Guild—an organization that manages youkai in Asakawa City.

This organization guards the monsters in Asakawa City, assists them in living and living, and maintains the order between humans and monsters as much as possible.

In addition to this, it is also responsible for guarding the power spots, Hazama, and special houses near Asakawa City.

They usually rent out their houses to desperate monsters and even wild gods at extremely low prices...

Some wild gods lost their faith, and after the shrines were abandoned, the divinity and power were gradually fading.

They are essentially only slightly stronger than ordinary youkai before degenerating into youkai completely.

Working hard on the land, trying to restore their faith, some of them would occasionally go to Asakawa City to rent a house.

In the past, Sifeng Yuanyu also obtained their "offering objects" from those wild gods.

The offerings of these indigenous gods have the aura of the local gods.

Used in the ceremony, it added an aura belonging to the gods of Japan to Sifeng Yuanyu—this effectively concealed his specialness.

It is indeed a wise thing to start with a trade union intermediary who understands the complicated situation in Asakawa City.

But, why did Xizi suddenly think of renting a house?

"In Asakawa City, houses with a monthly rent of less than [-] yen are either dilapidated or have hidden secrets!"

"It doesn't matter, even if it's an apartment full of monsters."

Xizi responded in this way, holding an umbrella, she bowed slightly.

"Please tell me about this house."

"In that case, let's go and have a look at those places first...Let's talk about it first, cheap houses have all kinds of shortcomings."

"It doesn't matter, I just plan to live temporarily, and I will move to a better place when I have more money."

"Why rent a house?"

Xizi turned around in surprise, her long hair swaying gracefully in the wind.

"Ah, it's Yuu!"

Chapter 130 VII Obsession

"I just came over from there and happened to see you."

"You haven't said, why do you want to rent a house?"

Xizi held an umbrella, showing a calm smile.

"It's nothing, I just want to have my own residence..."

Yuu Sifeng was keenly aware of the embarrassment between her brows.

"Is it because you are uncomfortable living in Geng's house?"

"There are... some of them."

Turning her face away, she sighed slightly.

"This is not my time."

"Although Zizi is my younger sister, she has been separated from me for 50 years...she has her own life."

"When I was not around, she recruited a son-in-law to support the Geng family. She had a child, and now she even has a granddaughter..."

"What does that matter? She doesn't have any children at home, and it happens that you can still chat with your sister, and the room is reserved for you."

"Different……"

Xizi shook her head vigorously, turned her face sideways, and thought about it.

"It's kind of... like the feeling between the young and the old."

"I think I'm still 16 years old, but Zizi is already old... No matter what, the difference between the two can't be smoothed out."

She stretched out her slender, white fingers like green onions, and tapped her plump chest as a gesture.

"In it, the heart is different."

"The way I get along with Zizi is very weird. My elder sister is like a child, but my younger sister is an old man...I'm not very comfortable, so I want to move out."

I see……

This is very common.

The sense of separation between the immortal and the world.

Zizi, who is a mortal, will age and die, but Xizi, who has entered the official rank of god, can live forever.

Forget it, but for various reasons, Xizi's mind is still at the age of 16.

In the half a century that has been covered in dust in the old school building, she has hardly grown up.

This family further increased this sense of fragmentation.

Of course Xizi would feel uncomfortable... After all, the younger sister Geng Zizi she was familiar with is now an old man with gray hair.

"It's uncomfortable living in Geng's house, so you can live in my house... My mother also likes Xizi very much!"

"I also... like Xizi very much."

Yuu Sifeng frankly said something like a confession, and his face felt slightly hot.

"Too, too foul...to say such a thing suddenly."

With an intoxicating blush on her face, Xizi turned her face away in embarrassment, and seeing the Kappa smiling again, she simply lowered her head.

"Well, it's because my aunt likes me so much...so...that's why I want to move out..."

She lowered her head and watched the water flow on the black tiles.

There was a rain curtain outside, and the rainwater continued to fall from the sky, hitting the ground, forming bubbles and ripples, which were uncertain.

"Mom likes Xizi so much..."

Yuu Sifengyuan was taken aback for a moment, then after thinking about it, he gradually understood.

"It's true that my mother has been worrying about my relationship issues, and she might ask too many sensitive topics..."

Xizi is actually a very innocent girl, and it's hard to resist the enthusiasm of her parents, which is also a matter of course.

"Actually, finding a house of my own has always been my obsession."

"In the past, before Yu met me, I wandered alone in the campus.

At that time, what I was most afraid of was the night and the holiday..."

She said softly, her bright eyes flickered slightly, and her face was full of reminiscence.

"Because at night, the entire campus is empty, only me...

Lonely, scared, and ghosts don't sleep, I can only pass the time boringly. "

"So, from that time on, I have a wish!"

Xizi held a small pink fist and raised it high.

"Be sure to have a house of your own outside the campus!"

She had a huge smile on her face as she raised her fist.

In that smile, there is pure longing and happiness.

"Crack clap clap clap".

Yuu Sifeng and Kappa applauded in unison.

Especially Sifeng Yuanyu, who held the umbrella with one hand, and the other hand was inconvenient, but he clapped it on his hand, applauding her lively at this time.

"Well, since it's your obsession, then get in the car."

Sifengyuan bowed his head and asked the Kappa.

"Didn't bother you?"

"No, it is my honor to serve His Highness!"

This kappa appears to be much smarter than his distant relative, the Temari kappa.

Soon, the kappa called a mobile phone and called a black car with the logo of the Asakawa Monster Union printed on it.

The emblem has small decorations such as cherry blossoms and maple leaves, all of which are silver.

The car itself was an imported product, very expensive, and it seemed to have been modified by magic, adding some inexplicable charm, making it look very luxurious.

"Get in the car."

The Kappa pressed the button, and the door swung open upwards to reveal the delicate rear seat.

After the two sat firmly, the kappa sat in the co-pilot position and kept pointing the direction.

Soon, they entered the remote suburbs.

Surrounded by a large field, on the slope not far from the field, on the edge of the cement road, is an apartment building with a yard.

"This is the Ueno apartment. Behind it is a garbage disposal station. Some garbage that cannot be recycled will be burned in the open air. It can be said that the environment is not good!"

As a rule, the first house is the worst.

Sifengyuan Yu looked across a road from a distance, frowning.

The white paint on the exterior walls has peeled off, exposing gray concrete walls in places.

The few air-conditioning units hanging on the outer wall are obviously very old.

"It used to be an old unfinished building, which was transformed into an apartment, surrounded by garbage stations, which were burned every day.

In addition, there are bosozoku and yakuza gathering around... only [-] yen per month. "

Just as the two stayed, there was a loud noise from inside the apartment building.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

There was an angry knock on the door, followed by a man's shout.

"Do you think you can hide if you don't come out?!"

"Matsutani Ibuki, you owe us 300 million yen to Higashinokai, you must give us an explanation today!"

"Come out! Pay back the money!"
