The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

"Pfft, that's unlucky." Ming Haizhang punched Kotaro on the head, "Come on, we should get to work."

Chapter 52: The Strange Town of Duozhuang

I would like to ask, if a beautiful girl suddenly joined a teammate in a team of men, how would you feel?

Anyway, the two grown men, Kenji Shiomi and Soichi Hosoya, felt a little embarrassed, so they let Mingxue stay behind them, which was a safe place, all the way.

"Ms. Himiya, why do you want to work in the Investigation Bureau?" Compared to the taciturn Kenji Shiomi, Soichi Hosoya has a more cheerful personality, so he serves as the atmosphere livener of the three-member operations team.

Ming Xue, who was on guard in the back, was startled and looked up at Soichi Hosoya in front of him, "Senior, I haven't joined the Investigation Bureau yet, I'm just a consultant."

Hosoya Soichi smiled awkwardly, and then continued: "That's true, but it's really dangerous for you to work at your age."

"I came here for a reason, and it's not for the salary. What about you seniors?" Ming Xue looked up at the sky and found that the night sky above her head was driving away the dusk left by the sun.

Soichi Hosoya immediately told Mingxue the reason why he and Kenji Shiomi joined the Investigation Bureau, and also told him about the spiritual weapon he had contracted.

It turns out that both of them graduated from university in 1999 and joined the Investigation Bureau after graduation. They are currently contracted with a spiritual weapon, a slingshot and a shield respectively. As for the effects, Mingxue did not ask as it involves privacy.

"Don't worry, sister Feigong, we will definitely protect you." Shioji Shioji, who was walking in front, turned around and gave Mingxue a thumbs up.

Mingxue blinked, then immediately covered her mouth and smiled, "Seniors, can you guys work seriously?"

It turns out that not all members of the Investigation Bureau are bastards like Masayoshi Kinoshita. There are still some reliable seniors.

Listening to Mingxue calling them "senior" all the time, Shiomi Kenji and Hosoya Soichi almost got lost in it. Fortunately, they quickly regained their vigilance. It was understandable to liven up the atmosphere on the battlefield, but it couldn't last too long, so as not to delay the work.

At this moment, the three people heard secret messages from the reconnaissance team ahead through their earphones.

"I am Mantis, I am Mantis, how about the rear?"

"Received the message, received the message, the rear is safe." Soichi Hosoya replied first.

"The mantis has entered the village, and the oriole will soon go up the mountain to meet it." The voice of Masayoshi Kinoshita came from the headphones.

Upon hearing this, Mingxue and the other two immediately quickened their pace and climbed the mountain.

Masayoshi Kinoshita temporarily cut off contact with the operations team and contacted Yamashita instead.

"Calling the nest, calling the nest, this is the mantis."

"This is the nest, received." The voice of Kuroto Keima came from the headset.

Kinoshita Masatomo, who was hiding under a tree, smiled and said, "It looks like the five of you have arrived."

"We only agree to your request on the condition that you apologize to Xuenv (code name Mingxue) afterwards." Kuroto Keima, who was sitting in a black car at the foot of the mountain, turned his head to look at the four people who were setting up equipment outside the car.

"I know this, and I trust you. The command of the mountain will be temporarily handed over to you for judgment." After saying this, Masayoshi Kinoshita hung up the phone without waiting for Keima Kuroto's reply.

Seeing that Kinoshita Masatomo had cut off the communication, Kuroto Keima silently opened the car door, got out of the car, and came to the four people who were helping the investigators set up the equipment.

"Kirikiri Kumoori, Hanyu Hazuki, sister, the three of you stop for a moment."

The three people who heard Kuroto Keima's shout turned their heads and looked at him.

"Go to the last car first and get some standard weapons." A blue light flashed across Kuroto Keima's glasses. "I'm going to prepare for the worst."

……

The combat team that Mingxue was in took about five or six minutes of running before they arrived at the entrance of Tado Town, and Kinoshita Masayoshi, who was hiding in the nearby jungle, also led the team out.

"We have scouted the outskirts of the town and village and found nothing unusual. We are going to enter the village next, so be prepared." Kinoshita Masatomo said to everyone: "Next we will disguise ourselves as a small tour group whose car has broken down. Komine Saki, you will pretend to be the guide."

"Great! The captain is the best to me." Saki Komine happily hugged Masatomo Kinoshita's arm, her face full of joy.

Kinoshita Masatomo sighed and turned to look at Mingxue.

"Then what should I disguise as?" Ming Xue crossed his arms. He looked like a student, and was younger than the investigators.

"Just pretend to be my sister!" Xiao Fengsha taught ≤! 流※群:朳×≈⑸⑦６熝≯`三俬㈣2 Ji Zhaomingxue winked, "I have long wanted to raise a sister, so remember to be the bridesmaid for me and the vice-captain when the time comes."

Mingxue remained silent, but did not explicitly refuse. After all, his colleague was older than him, but not old enough to be his parents. He did not even have the basic qualifications to play spy house.

Kinoshita Masatomo glanced at Komine Saki coldly, then looked away, "Begin the action."

Everyone rearranged their formation and pretended to be a small tour group preparing to stay overnight.

Although the decoration style of Duozhuang Town is close to that of the 1990s, judging from the lights on in every window and the electric poles everywhere, the electricity penetration rate here is quite good. For this reason, some villagers quickly discovered the six people entering the village.

Komine Saki seized the opportunity and quickly went up to the villagers who had discovered them to start a conversation. Unexpectedly, the villagers here were very welcoming. Not only were they willing to provide them with temporary accommodation, they also enthusiastically asked if they wanted help repairing their broken-down car.

"No, no need. We'll just stay for one night. If we really bother you, we'll pay for your stay." Xiaofeng Saki put his hands together. "Our driver is already repairing it. It's expected to be finished by tomorrow. We couldn't stand the atmosphere in the car, so we went up the mountain to stay."

At this time, an old man with a kind face walked up to the crowd and said, "If you don't mind staying in the countryside, I have a few empty rooms."

"Oh, thank you. Let me talk to the passengers first." After finding an excuse, Komine Saki quickly came in front of the crowd.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone turned their eyes to Kinoshita Masatomo, who quickly gave a suggestion, "It's getting late, so we have to put the reconnaissance aside for now. It's okay to stay here for the time being, but... someone must be on guard. I feel like this village is too welcoming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other five people immediately looked around and found that the villagers were extremely curious. Those who did not go out would open the window and look in. They all had kind smiles on their faces, and the crowd was watching the scene in a very lively manner.

"Why are there no children or young people in this village?" Ming Xue suddenly said softly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and immediately looked around, and found that the people watching were all elderly people, and there was no middle-aged person.

Hosoya Soichi said carefully: "It's so late, I guess everyone is asleep."

"I, I think so too." Xiaofeng Saki's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Maybe he went out to work, and his children are studying in the city."

"I hope so. Let's move in first. The current stalemate is not good." Kinoshita Masatomo looked around. Once the fight started, the surrounded scene would put them in a very bad situation.

"No, you're not leaving?" Ryuji Umeda from the team asked, his right hand unconsciously resting on his waist.

Kinoshita Masatomo shook his head slightly. "If we leave now, we will be exposed. We need to stay calm for now."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ming Xue and found that the latter was trying hard to observe her surroundings. Her mentality was better than that of the colleague who had been with him for many years.

In the end, the six people followed the old man who invited them and came to a two-story house in the north of the village.

"This was originally the residence of my son and daughter-in-law, but they went to the city to work." The old man kept smiling.

"Thank you so much." Komine Saki bowed in thanks.

The old man handed her the key with a smile, then turned around and left with his hoe.

Kinoshita Masatomo put on a pair of sunglasses and observed the room. After confirming that there were no wandering spirits or anything like that in it, he said, "Nothing unusual at the moment. Shio, you can try it out."

Kenji Shiomi nodded, summoned a shield and walked to the door, and the moment Saki Komine opened the door with the key, he rushed in holding the blue-black shield and a flashlight, and pressed the light switch in his sight.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and with his already sturdy body, he looked like Captain America, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

Lights came as loud as the sound, illuminating the facilities of the houses.

Although the house is simply furnished in the style of Japanese houses from the last century, it still has the necessary furniture and even a TV in the living room. It is better than some apartment-style B&Bs in the city.

After checking, Shiomi Kenji shouted without turning his head, "No problem."

Kinoshita Masatomo then let everyone go inside to rest, and he was the last to step into the house. However, the moment he entered the entrance, a sunny doll hanging above the entrance caught his eye...

"Sister Feigong, you should have a good rest today. Shiomi Kenji and I will keep watch all night."

　腫zＨUａＮQｕN：啾㈣＞「8√‖诱▲丝篮㈢零舞On the other side, Hosoya Soichi walked up to Mingxue holding a slingshot and said.

Ming Xue, who was checking the room, was stunned and looked up and said, "It stands to reason that the combat team should be resting."

"It is indeed as Mingxue said. Right now, it is our reconnaissance team that should keep watch." Kinoshita Masayoshi walked over with a pale face.

"Umeda and I will do it." Shiomi Kenji walked up to Kinoshita Masatomo with a shield, "If there is a night attack, the night watch will have time to fight back and notify."

Umeda Ryuji nodded in agreement.

Kinoshita Masatomo was silent for a while, then turned to look at the sunny doll hanging in the entrance and said, "Okay."

The sunny doll hanging at the door was swaying in the wind, and the smiling face painted with lipstick on its face looked a little creepy under the dim light in the house.

When Soichi Hosoya saw this, he hurried to the entrance and took down the sunny doll. He was a schoolmate of Masatomo Kinoshita and knew the situation.

dong dong!

The next moment after he took off the sunny doll, there was a knock on the door which had just been closed.

"Who?" Komine Saki raised his voice, and the other five people remained alert.

"Grandpa said there are guests coming. I'm here to bring you dinner." A girl's voice came from outside the door.

Chapter 53: I'm Not Your Mother x Hospitable Villagers

"Let me do it." Ming Xue said at this time.

Everyone looked at him, thought for a moment, and agreed.

Because Mingxue has a certain ability to protect herself and is young, she is not likely to attract attention and vigilance, so she is undoubtedly suitable for contacting the situation outside the door.

Mingxue took a deep breath, cleared her throat, then walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Everyone in the house found their positions and remained alert.

The moment the door opened, a six-year-old girl in a white dress smiled at Mingxue, and the basket in her hand exuded a charming aroma of rice.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ming Xue's voice softened, like a gentle young lady.

"Grandpa asked me to bring you dinner, saying that you must not have eaten since it's so late..." As the little girl spoke, she seemed to see Mingxue's appearance clearly, and she shouted excitedly: "You are so beautiful, you must be my mother!"

"How could I be your mother?" Ming Xue smiled bitterly. He found that although the girl was cute, her lips were covered with bright blood-red lipstick, which was very strange.

"Impossible. Mom said on the hospital bed last time that she was going to heaven. The next time she came to see me, she would transform into a beautiful woman and dad to come to me." The little girl looked up and thought, "But there has never been a woman around dad. He just keeps drinking and quarreling with grandpa every day."

Ming Xue was silent after hearing these words, but he was still alert. He did not answer the girl directly, but continued to ask: "Does your grandfather have any other instructions?"

"No, Mom, Grandpa just asked me to bring you some food." The little girl said timidly; "I hope you won't refuse, otherwise Grandpa will be unhappy."

"Okay, thank you." Ming Xue smiled, "Put the basket on the ground, I'll ask others to get it."

"Okay." The little girl giggled.

Mingxue closed the door and prepared to return to the entrance to discuss with everyone.

At this moment, the little girl suddenly said through the door: "You are my mother, right?"

Ming Xue, who had just turned around, remained silent. After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "Go home and be safe."

The little girl smiled, then put the basket on the ground, turned around and skipped away, disappearing around the corner not far away.

"What's the situation?" Masayoshi Kinoshita came over and asked.

Mingxue told the truth about the situation outside the door.

"Let me check the food outside with my spiritual weapon." Komine Saki took out a magnifying glass from his arms.

Ryuji Umeda went out and brought in the basket of food from outside and placed it on the table in the living room.

Saki Komine went forward with a magnifying glass to check.

"How's it going?"

After a while, Hosoya Soichi asked.

"They are safe and non-toxic, and they are all home-cooked dishes." Komine Saki put away the magnifying glass, looked at Kinoshita Masatomo and said, "Captain?"

"Don't eat or touch anything. Eat the dry food we brought with us. If you are not on night watch, go to bed and rest immediately. We will start the investigation at daybreak." Kinoshita Masayoshi gave the order.

Kenji Shiomi and Ryuji Umeda, who were on guard, sat on the sofa and remained alert, while the rest of the people found a room to rest. Perhaps considering Mingxue was a child, everyone intentionally or unintentionally let Mingxue sleep on her side on the second floor, which was the safest place.

"First I was treated as a child, and then as a mother. It's so tiring!" Mingxue took off her coat, lay on the bed tiredly, and slowly fell asleep while looking at the sunny doll hanging on the ceiling.

He was too tired. He changed clothes in the morning, took a bus to the Investigation Bureau at noon, took another bus here in the afternoon, and climbed the mountain for more than ten minutes. His fifteen-year-old body could no longer bear it.

With Umeda-senpai and Shiomi-senpai around, everything should be fine tonight!

……

"Hey, wake up, wake up."

Amid a blur and increasingly clear sound, Mingxue slowly opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was Xing Jia Meiyu's charming and enchanting face, but her expression was full of panic.

In the dream ba～%wu▲∥㈦摝∑〃镏;‖scattered～~42sOsUｏ group:?

Mingxue covered her head and got up, and found herself lying on Xingjia Meiyu's thighs.

"Don't sleep. There is a demon's aura outside your body. You are in very dangerous situation." Xing Jia Meiyu stretched out his hands, placed them on Ming Xue's shoulders, and began to shake her.

Mingxue was startled for a moment, said thank you, and immediately left the dream.

Seeing Mingxue leave, Xing Jia Meiyu took a deep breath and raised his right hand, which was stained with blood...

As soon as Mingxue opened her eyes, she found a sunny doll with a smiling face painted with lipstick suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

The man and the object stared at each other, the frightened sea-blue eyes and the stunned red eyes stared at each other in the silent air.
