Just like that, when they returned to the office, they had a new member by their side.
"I'm finally back."
Seeing the familiar office in front of her, Dusk stretched lazily and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm starving. Let's go eat first."
"Sister Dusk, did you forget that the ramen restaurant downstairs has already moved away?"
"Oh, that's true."
Dusk only came back to her senses after hearing Crimson's reminder. The first floor of the office was a storefront, and the owner was an old man in his sixties. He was in charge of running the ramen restaurant here. In fact, he was the only shop owner in this building that didn't move away. He had been staying here since Dusk took over. He was a very kind and enthusiastic boss, and the ramen he made was quite delicious.
Originally, because the place was haunted, the boss would close before sunset. But after Dusk expelled the evil spirits that haunted the place, he would stay open until the wee hours. Therefore, Dusk developed the habit of going downstairs to eat ramen whenever she was hungry.
It was a pity that people would eventually grow old and die. As he grew older, the old store manager seemed to be losing his strength. Previously, he had told Yu that he would close the store after the contract expired this year. He would then return to his hometown to take care of his grandchildren and live out the rest of his life. Although Dusk felt it was a pity, she could only nod in agreement.
"Speaking of which, they're renovating right now. What's the new shop?"
Dusk frowned as she looked at the storefront that was being renovated on the first floor. She then looked at Crimson and asked. She had always left such matters to Crimson Fledgling to deal with.
"It's a coffee shop. The owner is a very kind old man, and I heard that he's very confident in his mixed coffee."
"I see …."
Compared to Crimson who was full of interest, Dusk seemed a little weak.
"The coffee shop can't be open until the wee hours of the morning. Where am I going to find supper in the future …."
"Ahahaha …."
Crimson couldn't help but smile awkwardly when she heard Dusk's complaint. After spending so much time with Dusk, she had long realized that although she was a girl, her taste in food was closer to that of a man. For example, for things like ramen, girls of her age would never eat it alone. But Yu didn't care about that at all. Once she ran out of food, she would rush downstairs.
"It's just that this place is too remote. Otherwise, I could open a small stall like Oden or Takoyaki... Sigh, what should I do now? It's hard to even find takeout these days. If I had known, I would have gone to the nearby KFC …. "
Just as Yu was mumbling to himself, Shizuijiu silently raised his hand.
"If you don't mind, let me cook for you … .Speak."
"Eh? Little sister, can you cook? "
Crimson Crimson looked at her in astonishment. On the way back, Cillin had introduced her to Crimson Crimson. As she had met the vampire, Misty Branch, before, Crimson Crimson Crimson quickly accepted her existence.
But because Shizuijiu's name sounded the same as Dusk's, in order to avoid calling the wrong person, Crimson Crimson called Shizuijiu "little sister" — even though Dusk had lived for at least two or three hundred years.
Shizuijiu answered Crimson's question with her actions.
"It's delicious!!"
Crimson was pleasantly surprised as she ate the food in her mouth.
"Little sister, you're really good at cooking!"
"Mmm …. It's really tasty."
Cillin took a bite and nodded. After all, Fangzheng had traveled through so many worlds. Although he had not traveled through a world of delicacies, he still had some taste in food. At least for now, Shizuijiu's cooking could rank in the top five among all the dishes that Fangzheng had eaten in the world he had traveled through.
In this regard, her cooking skills were indeed not bad.
"It's not just cooking. Whether it's cleaning or household chores, you can leave everything to me …."
"Won't that be too much trouble for you?"
"What's wrong with that? She may look like a kid, but she's quite talented. Besides, you already have a lot of work to do, so it's good to have someone to share your burden. "
Cillin didn't mind at all. As she said, Crimson was still a high school student. Apart from studying, she also had to deal with the miscellaneous items in the office and various daily household chores. She was indeed quite busy. With Shizuijiu by her side, Crimson would not be so busy.
"It's okay. I'm not like a certain bat who eats for free. This is what I should do …."
While saying that, Shizuijiu deliberately turned his expressionless face to glance at Bonfire Mistbranch, who was sitting next to him and drinking black tea. Hearing Shizuijiu's words, Mistbranch snorted coldly and turned her head away.
As mentioned before, there were four types of "demons" in this world. Generally speaking, demons stood at the top of the non-human pyramid, but it did not mean that demons were really afraid of demons. Vampires like Bonfire Mistbranch belonged to the non-human underworld. Ordinary demons would definitely kneel at the sight of them.
However, Shizuijiu was a Horned Dragon. Although he was not yet an adult, he was still a dragon. In other words, he was equivalent to a special forces soldier among demons. Therefore, when a member of the underworld fought against a special force soldier, it would be a draw.
"After all, before being killed by a Ghost Slayer, the ability to survive is naturally more important than fighting …."
"Ghost Slayer? What's that? "
Crimson blinked her eyes in confusion when she heard the unfamiliar term. Cillin shrugged.
"I heard it's one of the twelve families that specialize in killing demons …. But that was hundreds of years ago. At least, I haven't heard of their existence until now. I'm afraid they've probably declined."
There was nothing strange about that. Although the Ghost Slayer specialized in killing demons, the threat of humans was much greater than demons. Moreover, that was hundreds of years ago. Japan was also in a state of frequent war back then, and there was no telling when a lot of trouble would happen. It was hard to say if a family like that could survive until now.
"Speaking of which, when I came to Japan, I heard from the demons here that I should be careful of those guys."
Bonfire Mistbranch also joined in the conversation.
"But I haven't seen those people for so many years. They're probably all dead."
Everyone had heard about the Ghost Slayer before. After all, it had nothing to do with them, and Cillin didn't care about those guys. If someone was really stupid enough to cause trouble for the people around her, she would mercilessly kill that person. But then again, Shizuijiu's housekeeping skills were indeed impressive. No wonder she was so confident and took the initiative to recommend herself. If she really wanted to build a flower pavilion on Hazy Moon Island in the future, Shizuijiu would be a good candidate.
After that, Cillin lived a relatively leisurely life.
She had to admit that Shizuijiu had indeed maxed out her housekeeping skills. Every morning, when she woke up, there would be hot and delicious food on the table. The room was cleaned and the clothes were neatly washed and folded. It was like a paradise. Hmm, she was really a good assistant.
But not everyone liked this.
For example, Bonfire Mistbranch.
Demons and demons were like fire and water to begin with, not to mention that Bonfire Mistbranch basically sat there all day without doing anything. So, Shizuijiu would occasionally mock her with a few words, which made Bonfire Mistbranch furious.
"Isn't it just cooking and washing clothes? That's something only servants do. I'm a noble Bloodline Noble, why would I do such a thing? Of course, if necessary, I can wake up a few zombies …. "
"That thing is too disgusting. Don't summon it."
Before Bonfire Mistbranch could finish her sentence, she was knocked down by a Kidney Strike, Backstab, and Bleeding Cut from behind.
Hearing Cillin's reply, Shizuijiu narrowed her snake-like scarlet eyes and stared at Bonfire Mistbranch.
"In that case, aren't you just a freeloader? Or do you only have combat strength to look forward to? But in front of big sister, there's no room for you to show off …. "
By the way, after joining the firm, Shizuijiu had been addressing Cillin as big sister …. Hmm, that wasn't a bad title, so Cillin acquiesced.
"You can't say that. Mistbranch has things that only she can do."
At this moment, Cillin flipped through the newspaper with a grin and assisted Bonfire Mistbranch. Hearing Cillin's reply, Shizuijiu tilted his head in confusion. Bonfire Mistbranch was taken aback for a moment, then her face turned red as if she had thought of something.
"Really? … Really?"
"Yes, that was true before, but recently …."
Cillin shook her head and sighed. Seeing this, Bonfire Mistbranch's expression changed slightly. She pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.
What the hell!!
Back in her room, Bonfire Mistbranch angrily sat down on the bed.
Ever since she complained to her at the beach that day, Cillin had not touched her even once. Although her usual behavior was no different from before, she did not touch her like before in private. This made Bonfire Mistbranch quite annoyed. Of course, she also reflected that she was a little harsh with her words at that time, but she was just hoping that Cillin would punish her …. Seriously, it's been so many times already, and she still doesn't know how to have fun?
"Damn it!"
Bonfire Mistbranch slammed her fist on the table.
Do you want me to lower myself and beg her? Beg her to do that? Are you kidding me? I don't want that even if I die!
If Cillin could hear Bonfire Mistbranch's roar at this moment, she would definitely complain, "You're already dead."
"…. Hmm?"
Suddenly, Bonfire Mistbranch seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up.
That's right, there's such a way ….
