Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

"How do you know?" Hayakawa Aki was sure that he had never told anyone about wanting to have a child.

Ji Ye hesitated for a moment, but did not hide it from Hayakawa Aki: "It was the information provided by the fox demon. It seemed to be able to distinguish the identity of the wish demon from the taste it ate every time."

"She's like some kind of ingredient..."

Hayakawa Aki's tone remained calm, but his fists clenched unconsciously.

That stinky fox definitely did it on purpose.

"The existence of a demon who can pay the price is of great significance to mankind, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it."

Ji Ye took a deep breath and said to the silent Hayakawa Akira: "So, arrest it."

Volume 77: The Chainsaw Roars in the Dream: Chapter Chapter Happy birthday, Denci.

As for Ji Ye, it seems that he knows some information about his identity, but he doesn't know whether the police will take any measures against him.

Most likely, they would. After all, although Hayakawa Aki is using the power of the devil without paying any price, this temptation is definitely not small for others. No one wants to cut off a part of their body and feed it to the devil every time they use a skill in battle.

Humans do not have the same recovery ability as demons. Lost organs cannot regenerate, and even some injuries that can be recovered will take a long time and cause pain.

If every demon hunter in the Public Security Bureau signed a deal with Xiangzi similar to that made by Hayakawa Aki, they would no longer have to endure this torture.

But correspondingly, I'm afraid my son will have to live like he's being tortured to death every day...

Fortunately, Xiangzi herself doesn't care much about this kind of thing. No matter how weak she is, she is still a demon. The cricket's fatal injury only needs to drink more blood to recover. As for the pain of paying the price, hehe - pain control, kid!

I don't know when I will be arrested by the police. Anyway, I'd better say goodbye to poor Dianci first.

Although it is impossible to tell him the truth, it is not a problem to treat him to a good meal as a farewell dinner.

The next time we meet will probably be after the plot officially begins. I wonder how many gold coins will drop by then?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......

He tried his best not to laugh out loud, and Xiangzi limped towards the shabby house outside the city, carrying the things he bought with Hayakawa Aki's money.

-

On a starry night, the light of the bright moon spreads on the grass on the way home, as if illuminating the way home.

Denji's steps were brisk, and Pochita, who was following beside him, was swaying his body in pleasure.

Today was another day of hard work. He killed two demons and paid off a lot of debts. He even had 500 yen left.

If I could earn as much as I did today every day, paying off the 4000 million high-interest loan owed by my damn father wouldn't seem like a very distant dream.

After paying off the loan, you can save money and buy a new house. It is best to be near the city, because that guy seems to like looking at the uninhabited nature more than the city.

If she gets a few more pets, will she like cats or dogs? But she already has Pochita, will the new pet fight with Pochita? Pochita is still her favorite, right?

You don't have to work so hard as a demon hunter in the future. Just take Pochita with you to work occasionally to earn some extra money. Normally, you can do odd jobs on construction sites in the city. There are often demons causing trouble in the city anyway, so you won't have to worry about not having work on construction sites.

She could support Pochita and that guy, so she didn't need to do that kind of work anymore.

She likes reading, so when I go out to work during the day, she can read books and drink tea with Pochita at home, then prepare dinner when I am about to come back, and say "Welcome home" to me at the door when I come back from work.

This kind of life...isn't it amazing!

Denci couldn't help but grin. Happiness was now so within his reach. He just needed to try harder and he could grab it.

And all these changes started from meeting that guy.

The first time I ate a full meal, the first time I was hugged, the first time someone was waiting for me at home... Sometimes I would wonder if I was dreaming, but every time I returned home and saw the person who was smiling as always, all these worries seemed to disappear.

If this life that seems to have fulfilled all my wishes is really a dream, then let it last a little longer.

Looking at the small house that had appeared in front of him, Denci subconsciously quickened his pace.

"Xianzi, I'm back——"

When he opened the door, he saw pitch darkness, which was not surprising.

Although she wanted to install a light in this room, she said that it would be better for her to be restrained in order to prevent the gangsters from discovering that she was rich. Therefore, she basically did not turn on the light when she was alone at home, and only turned it on late at night when the sun came back.

But when Denci subconsciously pulled the light cord behind him, he found that the light did not come on as he had imagined.

"? What's going on? I wonder if you are——"

"Pochi!"

Just as Denci opened his mouth in confusion, he suddenly felt something moving in the darkness and approaching him rapidly. Even Pochita let out a cry of surprise!

But it was too late. In the brief moment when Denci relaxed his vigilance and opened the door, the other party had already arrived in front of him.

The next moment, there was a loud explosion——

Bang!

"Happy birthday, Denci."

"......well?"

Denji, who had already grabbed Pochita and got into a fighting stance, looked at the room that suddenly lit up, as well as the colorful ribbons flying all over the sky and landing on him, and uttered a bewildered sound.

Then, the confused eyes looked at the murderer who caused all this - the smiling woman holding the salute.

"Birthday?" Denci blinked and asked in confusion, "Is it your birthday today?"

"You can't even remember your own birthday? This is a bit sad." Looking at Dianci whose brain was already overloaded, Xiangzi raised his eyebrows and turned sideways to look at the tidy house behind him.

Unlike the warehouse that looked like a garbage dump when Dianci lived alone last year, the room now is still small, but it has a sense of warmth. Clean floor, neatly stored items, soft mattress, and a simple cake on the small table in the center of the room... Even if you say that this is the room of a happy child, I'm afraid no one will doubt it.

"Now that everyone is back, let's get ready to eat. This cake is made perfectly by me. Remember to pray for Lord Xiangzi with gratitude before eating, okay?" Xiangzi pulled the Pochita from Denci's hand, and while rubbing the furry and soft Pochita, he sat down at the table leisurely.

"Remember to make a wish before eating, then blow out the candles, and maybe your wish will come true."

"I......"

Denci opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't know where to start.

Xiangzi, who was sitting at the table, looked at him with a smile. Her face showed the same pride as always, but also a tenderness that Dianci knew well.

"It's the first time someone celebrated my birthday..." Denci sat silently at the table, looking at the cake in front of him, which was not very good-looking but was made with great care, "Um...thank you..."

"There will be many more birthdays in the future." Xiangzi smiled and pushed the cake in front of Denci, "Won't it?"

But whether you can still smile on your birthday in the future is another matter~

Volume 78: The roar of chainsaws in dreams: Chapter Chapter : The eve of separation

"It's been over a year since we met."

Xiangzi leaned his head and looked at Denci and Pochita who were eating the cake in front of him, and asked leisurely: "Is Denci happy now?"

"...Well, it's not bad, that's what I thought..."

Denci paused while licking the cream, then mumbled something incomprehensible and continued to bury his head in the cake.

It was very strange. He was obviously very happy now, but when Xiangzi asked him so bluntly, Denci was still too embarrassed to say it out loud. He could only blush and evade the question.

Sure enough, it's not that easy to say such words.

But it just so happens that this kind of thing has to appear at the end~

Thinking of the contract he had signed with Denji, Xiangzi's smile grew wider.

[Dianshi Favorability: 10 Yanxi Transfer ① Group: 837783853

[Charging efficiency: 1000% Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

A normal level of ten favorability should be enough to entrust your affairs to someone.

But Denji's affection for her had already reached this level more than half a year ago, and judging by the previous situation between Otto and Kallen, Denji's actual affection level should have exceeded this limit. If Xiangzi were to see it, she should be at least a close friend or even a family member in Denji's heart.

Xiangzi's eyes shifted to Pochita on the side, and he felt it was a pity in his heart - why was a small animal like Pochita not counted as an object by the system? Otherwise, a lot of energy should be able to be extracted from Pochita. After all, he is an important character throughout the entire series.

You have to know that in order to lay a good foundation for the initial goodwill and to gain the goodwill of readers in the future, Xiangzi has put away his true nature and has been doing a losing business for more than a year. He has always been gentle to Dianci and rarely does anything to hurt his mentality and drain his energy.

But debts must be repaid, Dianci. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and what I have is already considered cheap.

"Well, today will be over in a little while, so hurry up and light the candles and make a wish." Xiangzi smiled slightly, "There is also a secret gift prepared for you."

Before Denji and Pochita gobbled up the cake, Xiangzi, who knew their habits very well, had already cut a portion in advance, put a candle on it and put it aside until now.

Although the cake looks rather simple, it was made on purpose.

With her cooking skills, it would be easy for her to make a cake to enter in a competition, but isn't it true that works with obvious traces of clumsiness are often more impressive than exquisite cakes like those ordered from a store?

"...Hmm, I think I forgot to buy a lighter."

Touching the plastic bag containing the materials, Xiangzi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the supermarket."

Denci was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xiangzi's leg which was still wrapped in bandages, and tried to stop him.

"Wait, I'm here for this kind of thing—"

"This is a benefit only for you today."

Xiangzi shook his finger and interrupted the conversation with a relaxed smile: "I will help you run errands because it's your birthday. Just accept it with gratitude."

"I'm familiar with the surroundings, so don't worry about getting into danger... I'll buy you some candy by the way."

Before leaving, Xiangzi turned back and waved to Denci, chuckling, "See you later~"

"..."

Before the dazed Denci could say anything, the door was closed. The room, which was originally lively, suddenly became deserted. Even though it was decorated warmly, it seemed as if something crucial was missing.

......

After sitting at the table in silence for a long time, Denci suddenly stood up and said, "Pochita, you should look after the house first."

"Pochi?" Pochita, who had just finished his cake, looked at Denci in confusion.

"It's night time anyway. It's too dangerous to let that guy go out alone. I'll go pick her up and be back soon. You have to keep an eye on the cake at home so that it won't be ruined by the stray dogs that break in, okay?"

"Pochi!"

Seeing Pochita, who seemed to be saying "leave it to me", confidently, Denci finally felt relieved and hurried out towards the supermarket at the foot of the mountain.

-

"So, what are you looking for me for in the middle of the night, Qiu Jun?"

In the alley at the edge of the town at the foot of the mountain, Xiangzi crossed his arms and looked at the silent Hayakawa Aki in front of him with a smile.

"Is it too lonely for a single young man at night? It's a pity that although I sell my body, I won't sell it, okay?"

"...Stop talking stupid stuff."

Seeing Xiangzi in front of him looking relaxed, as if he had no idea what kind of situation he would encounter in the future, Hayakawa Aki sighed heavily and then said seriously.

"You need to leave here immediately - no, for safety's sake, you should leave Japan directly. Go to Hokkaido first. I will contact the human traffickers there to take you to the Soviet Union by boat. After that, you can go south from there or continue west to Europe or even the United States."

Oh, it looks like the police are planning to take action themselves?

Although he had guessed most of the situation in his mind, he still looked confused. "Why? I'm pretty good here. Except for the fact that some of my body gets eaten every now and then, my life is pretty good."

"...your identity has been exposed."

After hesitating for a while, Hayakawa Aki directly stated the reason: "The fox demon recognized you and told the police about this information. They are going to arrest you and want me to lead you to a designated place and then arrest you."

"That's it."

Xiangzi nodded, but his expression was quite calm: "This is really a bit troublesome. I still have to take care of the child, so I can't go to help your police. By then, I will be bleeding all the time, and I am afraid it will scare him."

"So I told you to run away first."

Hayakawa Aki said with a headache: "Go hide in places like the Soviet Union and the United States where the Japanese public security can't reach you. I told them that I will contact you tomorrow, so you must leave tonight!"

"Um......"

Xiangzi stroked his chin with a distressed look and closed his eyes in thought, then raised his head and looked at the night sky: "No, I can't leave today."

[Energy +4500 Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

"what?"

"Today is the first time that kid has someone celebrate his birthday, I have to celebrate it with him."

Xiangzi was distressed and said, "I am his only family member. If I leave, he will be very pitiful."

"..."
