Once the welcoming ceremony was over, Hazy Moon Island returned to its former state. However, Grizzly didn't immediately return. Instead, she led the girls around the island ….
"Sister Dusk, what are you doing?"
Crimson looked at Dusk in confusion and asked. Dusk just shrugged.
"Oh, I'm checking on the situation of this island."
"Situation?"
"Yeah, there's nobody left on Hazy Moon Island. Besides, I don't think anyone would want to move back after that incident. That's why I'm planning to take over this island and develop it a little.... maybe make it a tourist resort or something."
"Eh eh eh eh eh?!"
The girls were shocked when they heard this. They looked at Dusk in surprise.
"Miss Kasugano, aren't you an exorcist?"
Asou Hajime asked in confusion, but Bi just waved his hand.
"Oh, that's just a hobby. Hobbies can't be eaten. Don't tell me you think I earned my yacht and villa by exorcising monsters? That would take me a lifetime to earn."
"Uhh..."
Perhaps Dusk's answer was too self-righteous and matter-of-fact, so the others were dumbfounded and did not know what to say.
In fact, this was not the first time Dusk had done something like this. In the world of Detective Conan, Fangzheng often bought over companies that had been harmed by Detective Conan. After all, no matter how big the company was or how profitable it was, as long as Detective Conan appeared, it would either be the death of the president, the death of the heir, or the frequent occurrence of various scandals that caused the stock price to plummet. It was a very profitable business to buy over such a company.
Since there were so many monsters in this world, Dusk was naturally the best choice for her. Especially haunted places. Even if the exorcism was over, most people would not dare to move back. Dusk could buy the place at a low price, then either sell it to someone else or keep it for herself to develop.
For example, Dusk's three-storey office in Tokyo. In fact, due to a debt dispute, the debtor died. Then, a vengeful spirit appeared and turned the whole place into a haunted office. The owner of the office at that time simply wanted to buy it. Dusk played the role of an ordinary investor who knew nothing about it. She bought the office at an almost unimaginably low price, then let Frostmourne gnaw on it for a whole night, and made a killing....
Otherwise, how could it be so easy to buy a firm located in the inland section of Tokyo?
There was also the Kontash that Dusk had driven to the outfield village. Because the owner had died a violent death, anyone who had bought the car would be cursed. If it wasn't for the death of their family, they would either have their families broken up or die. So much so that the owner almost gave the car to him as a gift.
There was also a mysterious legend about the yacht that they were currently on. It was said that the original owner was a wealthy Japanese businessman. He spent a lot of money to buy the yacht and took his family out to sea. After that, there was no news of him. When the police sent people out to sea to search, they only found the yacht, but the people on it had disappeared.
After that, the yacht changed hands several times, but every time its owner went out to sea, he would mysteriously disappear. Only the yacht would silently appear at the dock ….
There was also the rumour that seven scapegoats would be dragged into the sea every year on that private beach.
Therefore, even if it was a private beach, why didn't anyone dare to come and watch the fun?
Because nobody wanted to die ….
Of course, with Dusk's assets, it was not like she couldn't afford these things. But the feeling was really good, and she never got tired of it. Just like the protagonists in many stone-gambling or antique novels, the protagonists in the later stages who had billions of assets would still like to pick up antiques. The reason was that the feeling of spending a small amount of money to get a big bargain was just too great.
The current Hazy Moon Island was the same. She was sure that the local government was definitely having a headache over this place. If it was somewhere else, she would probably have to do the other party a favour if she wanted the island. But now, as long as she asked for it, the other party might just kneel down and give it to her.
Besides, unlike the deserted island that had to be built from scratch, Hazy Moon Island was a place for people to live in. It had all kinds of basic facilities, so she just needed to renovate the foundation.
"But sister Dusk, what are you going to do with this island?"
"How about a hot spring hotel? There's a hot spring below, so it's not bad to open a hot spring hotel. Besides, it would be quite interesting to find a bunch of monsters to work here. "
At this point, Dusk could not help but think of the "Flower Pavilion" Fangzheng exchanged for in the Tendo Temple. According to the little foxes who worked there, the Flower Pavilion was a place to entertain all kinds of immortals and immortals. This clone was specially made for Frostmourne, so of course it could not go to the Tendo Temple. But if they could replicate the Flower Pavilion here, wouldn't that be a good idea?
"Find monsters to work here? Won't that scare away the guests? "
"Then we might as well open a hotel for monsters …."
Hearing this, the others also started discussing. However, they did not notice that on the surface of the sea not far away, a ripple quietly spread, then disappeared into the turbulent waves.
After that, the group boarded the yacht and returned to the mainland. Moonless Water, Flowing Song, and the other two girls also thanked Bi 'an. After the welcoming ceremony, the remnant souls were all sent back to the Yellow Springs. They no longer had to worry about Bi' an's death like their other two friends. For the three girls, they were finally able to relax.
So, the three of them bid farewell and left, while the others returned to the villa to rest. After all, it had been a tiring day.
"Yawn …."
Dusk yawned while lying in the bathtub. Today was another tiring day, but it was not a loss to get an island. She had already sent someone to negotiate with the local government about renting the island. In short, renting it for 99 years …. Hmm?
While Dusk was thinking about how to transform Hazy Moon Island, she suddenly saw the water in the bathtub in front of her start to bubble, then gradually turn black …. Dusk curiously reached out, grabbed the black shadow, and lifted it up.
"Splash."
The next moment, a girl appeared from the water without any warning and stared at her.
She looked about ten years old, had short green hair and bright red eyes. Her pretty and cute face was expressionless. The girl wore a white dress. Perhaps because she was soaked in water, the white fabric stuck tightly to her body, and her skin could be seen through the wet clothes.
"…."
For a moment, the two fell into silence as they looked at each other. After a while, Dusk retracted her gaze and looked at the girl in front of her.
"Uh … .may I ask who you are?"
"Siziku … … Speak."
“SIZIKU？ Is this some kind of game? "
Dusk was surprised to hear the girl's answer. Her name was also pronounced SIZIKU, so when she heard the girl's answer, she was also quite surprised.
"SIZIKU …. Quiet water, quiet (SI), water (ZI), long (KU) …."
"I see, Quiet water …. Hmm, what a nice name. What are you doing here?"
"Apply for a job …."
"Job application?"
"Yes."
Looking at Dusk, the girl named Quiet water nodded, then leaned over and stared at Dusk with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"I want to work in your hotel.... Just say it."
"I see, the monster aura I sensed at that time was you …."
Hearing this, Dusk suddenly came to a realization. At that time, she did sense a monster aura nearby, but it was just a flash, and Dusk didn't pay attention to it. But she didn't expect that the other party would directly come to her villa and recommend herself in her bathtub ….
Oh? Isn't this an unspoken recruitment?
It's quite exciting to think about it this way.
"But why do you want to work here?"
Although the other party was a monster to her taste, Dusk obviously wouldn't agree just because of that. After all, she wasn't one of those innocent teenage protagonists who blushed and said "I'll agree to anything you want, hurry up and put on your clothes" after seeing a girl's naked body …. Since she was here to seduce her, shouldn't she do something more practical?
"Hundreds of years ago, my clan was wiped out by the Earthcrawler clan, one of the 12 Demon Slayers …."
While speaking, Shizui Hisashi moved closer to Dusk.
"Then, I had to leave this land occupied by humans, but I didn't give up, until today …."
Speaking till here, Shizui Hisashi's beautiful bright red eyes couldn't help but waver.
"… … Everything has returned to its original state … … To put it bluntly."
"I see …. Then, is the Gate of Yellow Springs related to your clan?"
"Yes."
Facing Dusk's question, Shizui Hisashi nodded slightly.
"The Earthcrawler clan opened the Gate of Yellow Springs and sealed the spirits of my clan, but … .the resentment of being killed won't just disappear …."
So that's how it is. I was wondering why the Gate of Yellow Springs was opened in such a literary style.
After listening to Shizui Hisashi's explanation, Dusk finally understood why she came back to find her. According to Shizui Hisashi, Dusk Moon Island and the surrounding waters had long been her clan's territory. Later on, humans came and had a conflict with her clan. Then, in order to repel the demons, they invited the Earthcrawler clan, one of the 12 Demon Slayers, to fight against Shizui Hisashi's clan. They defeated them and sealed them in the Yellow Springs passage.
But the resentment of Shizui Hisashi's clan still remained. In the end, the Gate of Yellow Springs was exposed, and the resentment and miasma spread everywhere, resulting in the Serene Moon Disease ….
How should I put it? She reaped what she sowed.
Shizui Hisashi was the only survivor who escaped the massacre. But after that, she didn't leave her homeland, but wandered around the area. But because the Gate of Yellow Springs was opened and the miasma overflowed, she didn't dare to casually go to the island. Only after Dusk appeared and completely purified the resentment and miasma did she return to this land. Then, she heard that Dusk was planning to develop this place as a hotel, so she volunteered herself.
"Since even bats can do it, then I can do it too, right ….?"
At this moment, Shizui Hisashi was already leaning against Dusk's chest. She raised her head and looked at her.
"And, I always feel like I'm very close to you …."
"Close …."
Hearing Shizui Hisashi's words, Dusk also began to ponder. Strangely enough, when she saw this girl, she also felt a sense of closeness.
"By the way, what kind of monster are you?"
"Horned …."
"I see."
Hearing Shizui Hisashi's answer, Dusk suddenly understood. The so-called horned dragon was a young dragon. There was a saying in ancient times: a dragon with scales was called a horned dragon, a winged dragon was called a winged dragon, a horned dragon was called a horned dragon, and a hornless dragon was called a horned dragon. According to the "Chronicles of Strange Things", a horned dragon would turn into a dragon after a thousand years, a dragon would turn into a horned dragon after five hundred years, and a winged dragon after another thousand years.
In other words, according to the growth pattern of a dragon, the first baby dragon would have no scales or horns, then begin to grow horns, then scales, and finally wings. Based on the human age, Shizui Hisashi was really about ten years old. When she started to grow scales, she would enter the growth period.
But for a dragon, this growth period was really long ….
Huh? Wait, in other words, this country actually dared to kill dragons like they were monsters?
…. Damn it, don't let me see those 12 Ghost Slayers or whatever, or I'll send you straight to the Yellow Springs.
This was probably why Shizui Hisashi felt so close to Dusk. Fangzheng's main body was a Time Dragon, but his clones were almost all in the form of Eastern dragons. The red ponytail was a Torch Dragon, Allie was an Azure Dragon, and although Dusk had not shown its true form yet, from the looks of it, it should be a Winged Dragon ….
No wonder Shizui Hisashi felt so close to Dusk. After all, they were really a family five hundred years ago.
"So … .are you willing to hire me …?"
"Of course."
Facing the beautiful and cute Shizui Hisashi, Dusk gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.
"You're hired!"
