I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 112 Past events

In the end, Fujiiki tentatively signed a one-month temporary stay agreement with Shigure. He provided 50 milligrams of blood every ten days, and Shigure was responsible for exerting her Zashiki Warashi ability. If there was no effect within a month, she would

Sweep out the door.

In this way, when he went to the rooftop to eat at school at noon, he specifically asked Kamiya Rin, who knew more about monsters.

"Zashiki Warashi? There is indeed such a monster, but its effect is not that exaggerated. It is impossible to make a fortune every day. Unless it is an existence that has reached the level of a great monster, the one you have at home should still be a small monster.

.”

After listening to Fujii's story, Rin Kamiya gave her understanding. As for how to improve the wealth of the residents, she had no way of understanding. This kind of monster is very rare and has low combat effectiveness. It is often attacked by some vicious monsters.

Predation, there are not many left in the world.

It turns out he is really a scumbag!

After listening to Kamiya Rin's subsequent introduction, Fujii was a little disappointed for some reason. His strength was only a little higher than Shigure, and maybe it was equivalent to the normal level of ordinary monsters.

"Do you feel that you are not strong enough? It doesn't matter. Behind us is the Jade White God. If there are beings that we can't deal with, I can perform a god-seeking ritual. In a short period of time, my combat power can rival the powerful demon."

Rin Kamiya saw his reluctance and comforted her. Then, just like a girl who learned that a boy's house had a cat that could do backflips, she also asked to go to his house to see what Zashiki Warashi, who was said to bring wealth, looked like.

Sample.

Is this a requirement?

Fujii looked at Azusa Hase, who was eating a bento not far away on the rooftop. He had been neglecting her recently. Wouldn't it be bad to take Miss Kamiya's car home from school?

She pulled out the long wakizashi she carried with her. This was a weapon she used for self-defense during her lifetime. The scabbard was gorgeous and more decorative than practical.

All four dishes were served, and Fujii used Chinese when introducing the names of the dishes.

She got into her Mercedes-Benz car. After Fujii said goodbye to her, he called Shigure upstairs and opened a bedroom door that had been unoccupied for a long time.

She got out of the car and rang the doorbell, and the door opened. Uncle Tianhai, who was wearing an apron and cooking, saw a girl with long black hair standing in front of the door wearing the uniform of Hachioji High School.

"Ding dong!"

Turn on the faucet next to the knife table, apply water on the knife surface, hold the knife in your right hand, hold the knife surface with your left hand, and cut the tofu from the top in a very rhythmic manner, the sound of the blade falling on the table is continuous.

After school, Rin Kamiya took his Mercedes-Benz car and arrived at the place where Fujii lived first.

"The young monk wants to borrow your head. With a common mind, Shigurehime can practice with me. How about that?"

"You should have my home address, right? You can go there after school. My uncle Takuma Amami is at home. He was once attacked by a special wolf monster. He knows about monsters, so there is no need to avoid him."

Kamiya Rin bowed in a standard salute, crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and poked a girl's head out of the room, staring at the visitor with an unkind expression.

"Just remember that I will always be your friend."

Next, put the cut tofu into the water, and then cut the cabbage leaves into the same thickness. It is an exaggeration to say that it is as thin as a hair, but it is still slightly thinner than ordinary needlework.

The cut tofu slices were spread out into a long strip. He pinched off the head and tail. After watering, he started to cut the knife again. After repeating the process, the tofu on the chopping board was already spread out.

Rin Kamiya said goodbye after the meal and glanced at Shigure, who had regained his composure. This child should be considered a large mascot and not threatening.

After tasting it, the eldest lady Rin Kamiya put down the tableware and commented with a smile.

She felt there was no need to say more about who the defeated dog was.

Shigure thought silently, and Kamiya Rin noticed her and breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"This is my mother Tianhai Yuxi's room. You will live here this month."

Stepping forward, he raised his hand and knocked a chestnut from this ignorant little monster. Fujii turned around and went to the kitchen to take over Uncle Tianhai's work.

Fujii Shu failed to notice her thoughts and asked doubtfully.

"No, you will understand by then. Goodbye."

Azusa Hase suddenly spoke, lowered her head and told Fujii, who was about to leave, that her university choice is the Birmingham Conservatory of Music in the UK. Next week she will go to Britannia to take the exam. If she succeeds, she will live in a foreign country for four years.

, bid farewell to the familiar environment.

"If it doesn't work within a month, there won't be a house like this to live in."

On the other hand, Fujii Shu just delivered Hase Azusa to her door. After more than a year of getting along, no one in the school bullied our Hase Azusa classmate anymore. Fujii Shu lied to protect her at first and called her

She was a girlfriend, but someone found out, so she just treated her as a friend.

Haven't you realized yet? Azusa Hase and we are no longer in the same world.

After speaking, the samurai raised his head and waved his hand to Shigure. His body could not hold on for long. It was important to find a good way out for Shigure before his soul was destroyed.

Who told me to have this cheat?

"I am Kamiya Rin, Fujii-kun's companion, and the companion who faced the monster incident with him. You are Fujii-kun's uncle Amami Takuma, right? Please give me some advice."

"I know, please go out, I want to rest."

"This miko is your companion?"

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

"Master, you are polite. I am Shigure-hime's guardian warrior. I killed her with my own hands. I collected all the dead souls in the city who were supposed to be transcendent and gave them to Your Highness. All the blame lies with me."

And the memory drifted back to that moonlit night, the night when the monk pushed the moon out of the door.

——

"The young monk Huiyuan pays homage to the subjugated princess Shiyuji."

The color of the whole room is bluish. Even though the sheets and quilts have not been occupied for a long time, they are still cleaned every one or two months. This bedroom in Tianhai's house has not changed since Tianhai Youxi got married. It is fixed in the place where she left.

That day.

After hugging for a moment, Azusa Changgu took the initiative to let go of his hand, turned around and pushed the cart into the gate of his courtyard.

Fujii looked at her back. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't figure out the girl's heart.

Huiyuan moved his gaze towards the room. A haggard-looking soul of a dead warrior came out staggeringly and knelt down to him.

"Ah? Did something unexpected happen?"

Since there were twice as many people as before, they cooked a total of four dishes to entertain the guests. His cooking skills were close to LV4, just one step behind.

Fujii Shu thought to himself, but he kept moving his hands, trimming off the excess parts of the irregular-shaped tofu block, and cut it through the middle, dividing it into two evenly-sized pieces.

Pour the shredded tofu and vegetable shreds into the gravy in the pot, then turn off the heat and slowly knead it with the bottom of a spoon. After two minutes, remove from the pot and put it on a plate. This Wensi tofu dish with simple ingredients and extremely difficult knife skills is complete.

“It’s as good as a professional chef.”

A half-grown girl? She doesn't seem to be a threat.

Shigure turned against the guests and kicked Fujii out of the room. It was different from the Japanese antique style of Inaba Castle and unlike the Edo mansion of the Yuki family. The small room was warm and sweet, with a Showa sticker she didn't recognize on the wall.

Most of the singers are Akina Nakamori.

"Fujii-kun, I don't need to bother you to see me off every day. As for the Kendo Club, I've also resigned from the club. Thank you for this time."

"At some point, monsters will also put on cassocks and dress up as monks. The smell of your body can deceive humans, but it can't deceive me."

“It’s delicious, the salty taste melts in your mouth.”

It was the first time Shigure saw this kind of dish. Although monsters don't need to eat, they always want to satisfy their appetites. She took a spoonful and drank it, with a look of surprise on her face.

Is she Shu’s girlfriend?

Uncle Tianhai's first thought was this. He took a photo of the electric switch of the courtyard door, and the hollow-carved wrought iron gate opened automatically.

Shigure had only stayed at his house for less than a day, and he seemed to have a vague air of the head of the house when he questioned Fujii Shu, who had just entered the entrance and took off his shoes.

"This is a Chinese dish, Wensi Tofu, please try it."

With her professional-level guitar skills, the success rate of admission is very high. Although she will no longer be able to see Fujii every day, she has to make a choice in order to make herself stronger and more attractive.

"Shu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. A year ago, your movements were not so smooth."

"Strange, what on earth is she thinking!"

When the water is boiling, pour the shredded tofu on a plate and pour boiling water over it to increase its temperature.

Then sprinkle an appropriate amount of MSG and salt into the boiling pot, stir well with the soup, pour out the water starch prepared in advance to thicken the soup, fill the soup evenly with the soup, and draw a thin line, this step is done.

"Boom!"

Huiyuan let go of his hands, Shigure's long side was still stabbing him, but he dodged it sideways, and slid back a few ghostly steps to distance himself.

Uncle Tianhai next to him looked at the three dishes he had prepared, and his scalp felt a little numb. Is the gap between people so big?

Before taking down Fujii Tree, she would not let down her guard even if it was a monster. She was relieved when she saw that Shigure was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Seeing that the person inside did not answer, he kept talking to himself until the dilapidated paper door that leaked air was pushed open, and Shigure, who was wearing a white kimono, looked up and down suspiciously and spoke coldly.

Today is Friday, and Azusa Hase's flight ticket is for Monday. She shook her head and opened her hands with determination. Fujii Shu understood and stepped forward, and the two hugged each other.

He reminded her that if he didn't value her ability to attract wealth, he wouldn't be so kind.

Light up the pot, boil half a pot of water, scald the shredded vegetable leaves several times until they turn green, take them out, turn to high heat and bring to a boil.

As for Uncle Tianhai's three dishes, most of them were left by the end of the meal, while Fujii's Wensi Tofu was completely eaten, not even the soup base was left.

"Lord Shigure-hime! Please stop!"

After melting, the white and green filaments are mixed in the plate. It looks ordinary in appearance, but it is not craftsmanship and has a high technical content.

There was an unpleasant smell on her body.

For today's dinner, the first three dishes were cooked by Uncle Tianhai, and the last dish was cooked by Fujii himself.

Turning on the light in the bedroom, there is a space of about ten square meters inside. The room is not big, and the decoration style tells you that it is a place where girls usually live.

I came home a few minutes later than usual. In the living room, Rin Kamiya was playing Go with Shigure, and Uncle Tenkai was cooking. After his LV3 cooking skills, at least the food he cooked would not be unpalatable.

Uncle Tianhai, who was watching from the side, made a sound of admiration.

Huiyuan put his hands together and blocked Shigure's sudden attack. The blade was caught in a pair of fleshy palms, and no matter how the newborn monster, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, manipulated it, it could not move at all.

"The former culprit, Lord Nobunaga, the Sixth Heavenly Demon, has long been executed at Honnoji Temple. Now is the time of the first reunification of the Tokugawa shogunate. It is time to put aside all the grudges."

In a space of ten square meters, there is a single bed by the window, a desk and chair next to the door, and a row of bookshelves on the inner wall. Except for girls' comics, which take up half of the space, the rest are all kinds of records and books.

CD, between the bookshelf and the bed, there is a vinyl record player.

The evaluation she gave was spot on, and it seems she was once a foodie.

This should be the mother Amami Yuki Fujii mentioned, right? She is such a beauty, why don’t you live with her?

Shigure put down the colorful photo frame. In terms of beauty, she was a beauty before and after her life. It's a pity that it took hundreds of years to grow up by a year or two.

While watching all this, Shigure saw a photo frame on the desk. She picked it up and looked at it. During the hundreds of years she had lived in Yuki's ancestral home, she had seen this secret art of human beings, printing portraits into black and white photos and hanging them on the

above the coffin,

The portrait on the photo frame is of a young girl who looks somewhat similar to Fujii. She is wearing a black high school skirt and a red tie. She has long, thick, black hair and is smiling brightly. She is not much older than her.

Fujii explained to Shigure who was still outside the door, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the room.

The young wandering monk, wearing a faded tattered cassock, said respectfully and politely to the dark room.

"The resentment of the dead souls that filled the city back then was condensed into your soul, Shigurehime, to create you. This is truly a miracle, but you shouldn't be able to do this, right?"

He made a compromise and escorted Hase Azusa home as usual after school, and then received Kamiya Rin's questions.

Kamiya Rin smiled slightly and agreed. She looked at the lonely Azusa Hase, her eyes cold and arrogant.

The samurai quickly stood up to stop her and pressed down her weapon. Although Shigure was unwilling to do so, she finally put away her long wakashi and sheathed it.

"Huh? Isn't it noodles?"

This dish is a seemingly simple but extremely demanding Chinese dish, Wensi Tofu. I took out a box of square tofu from the supermarket, cut the edge of the package, peeled off the plastic film on the front, and turned it over with my hands.

Use the Chinese kitchen knife on the bottom of the hard packaging to peel off a complete piece of long tofu from the packaging shell.

"Believers of our Buddha don't care about their origins. As long as they have Buddha in their hearts, what's the difference between monsters and people?"

"Sorry to bother you tonight, I didn't expect the legendary Zashiki Warashi to be so similar to humans, thank you."

Huiyuan made a condition, and the samurai readily accepted it. He offered his sword and knelt down under the moon. Shigure did not stop him, but looked at Huiyuan with the sword in his eyes hatefully, even though he knew that the samurai's soul was numbered and his days were numbered.

He sacrificed himself for his own future, and stared at this monster disguised as a monk with hatred.

"Lord Shigure-hime, there is no need to feel sad. This is just to make up for the mistake made during seppuku."

The warrior comforted him, and then sang a folk song, a folk song from this area. The song was soft and gentle, telling the story of the love between a mountain god and a human woman.

When he finished singing, the blade fell, his head was thrown up, rolled to the ground, and he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
