Truth is everywhere within range

It was an ordinary square box.

Ariko took the box nervously.

Turn it on.

"?"

When they saw the items in the box, Suzuka and Kiriye had big question marks on their heads.

Do boys give girls such Christmas gifts?

Careless.

Looking at the first three gifts, Suzuka, who thought Qiao Qiao would be like a normal person, felt that she had really underestimated Qiao Qiao.

Now, in the box, is a revolver.

It is similar to the one Qiao Qiao usually likes to use. It has a metallic luster and is full of industrial design texture, but it is smaller and the barrel is not that long. It looks more suitable for girls.

No, no, no, revolvers that are originally suitable for girls are just false propositions.

What girl would like this kind of thing!

Suzuka glanced at Ariko.

You will cry when you receive something like this at Christmas.

Thinking this, what Suzuka saw was Ariko, whose eyes were shining.

"Can I really accept it?"

Ariko picked up the revolver very excitedly.

"Well, I asked my boss to buy this and then modified it myself. I modified it according to your habits and hand shape to ensure that it can be reloaded and fired in the shortest time."

Qiao Qiao explained.

"By the way, you don't have a gun license yet, so you can't use it for the time being, but it doesn't matter. I've done special processing on this gun. There are inscriptions on it that I can perceive. As long as I inject spiritual power, I can Feel its presence.”

Although Qiao Qiao said that he did not want Yalizi to have too much contact with weapons, the current situation forced Qiao Qiao to reconsider this issue.

The appearance of the old god's wish is not just a matter of interest.

Behind this, the related old gods must be restless, and certain seals have been broken, which makes the old gods wish to negotiate with the Spirit Exterminator through Qiao Qiao, and may even involve the existing gods.

Coupled with the incident of Yimulian being eroded by the Soul Jade, Qiao Qiao believes that the world is no longer so safe.

Although Ariko is protected by the Tian Cong Yun Sword and usually does not run into trouble, for the sake of safety, equipment that can contact Qiao Qiao at any time is still needed.

This revolver is more of a guard than a weapon.

Of course, as a mere guardian, Qiao Qiao also considered using lighter and easier-to-carry forms, such as pendants, rings, etc.

But the strange thing is that when Qiao Qiao used the methods he learned to modify the accessories, he couldn't respond in time, only weapons could.

Therefore, after much consideration, Qiao Qiao made such a decision.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ariko held the revolver and looked very happy, which made Qiao Qiao very happy.

"If Qiao Sang gave me a pistol, I would definitely treat it as Qiao Sang and use it every night."

Kiriye looked at the gun in Ariko's hand with envy.

Is there something wrong with your understanding of how to use a pistol?

Qiao Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Sayoko also changed into her skirt and walked downstairs.

The deep tones are indeed suitable for Sayoko, who has waist-length hair. She is a little timid and turns around slightly.

very nice.

"Tsk, tsk, Qiao Sang can't even look away."

Suzuka complained.

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Qiao Qiao picked up a piece of senbei and stuffed it into Suzuka's mouth.

"By the way, for this year's first achievement, how about going to my family's shrine?"

Ariko put the revolver back into the box and suggested.

The first day of the New Year is to visit shrines in the New Year. On the evening of New Year's Day, after the Red and White Song Festival, Japanese people will go out of their homes and go to nearby temples or shrines to pray for good luck throughout the year.

In Tokyo, the most popular places for first attainment are Meiji Jingu Shrine and Sensoji Temple, while places like Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto and Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya are all popular local choices.

There is not much traffic at Atsuta Jingu Tokyo Branch, and most of them are residents who live nearby. In the past, she helped at home every year on the special occasion, and this year is no exception.

So when I invited Qiao Qiao and others to the Atsuta Shrine Branch, I naturally had a small selfish intention of spending the New Year with Qiao Qiao.

"Yeah, okay."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"New Year?"

He looked at the calendar on the table.

For the next five days, several members of the Qiao family spent time around the kotatsu table in such a relaxed and happy manner.

After Ariko greeted her family, she also stayed here in advance.

The four girls usually watch TV and play games together. By the way, they also have a live broadcast of the three virtual anchors. They are very happy.

The only one who felt a little tired was probably Qiao Qiao.

He must beware of night attacks that may appear at any time at night.

At first, Qiao Qiao locked the room, but who knew that Wu Ye used the blood fighting technique to directly open the door lock and sneak into his bed.

Later, Qiao Qiao added an anti-lock that could only be opened from the inside. As a result, Suzuka climbed in directly through the window. Who knows how she sleepwalked outside.

Finally, Qiao Qiao carefully locked the window.

I heard the footsteps lingering at my door at night, which was very scary.

From time to time, Ariko would knock on the door gently.

"Teacher, teacher, teacher, such a sad voice."

terrible.

Of course, during the battle of wits and courage, Qiao Qiao also considered pretending that he was in the study and hiding in Sayoko's room, which temporarily blocked a wave of attacks.

But when Qiao Qiao found out the next morning that Xiao Yezi had somehow gotten out of bed and got under his quilt, her clothes were messy, and she used herself as a large pillow, Qiao Qiao didn't dare to do this anymore.

This room is simply scarier than a haunted house.

Qiao Qiao even considered setting up a tent in the yard.

Surviving the wilderness in your own home is a bit unspeakable.

Fortunately, the bad day will come soon.

"On a dark day, you have to eat rice cakes."

Suzuka looked at the soft rice cakes in the bowl and huddled in the kotatsu, looking like an elderly lady.

"No, no, I can't eat it. The rice cake is so soft that it sticks to my teeth."

As Wu Ye said this, he kept putting rice cakes in his mouth.

Dinner was a big meal cooked by Qiao Qiao. Starting at seven o'clock, the family sat around the stove, watching the red and white singing show, eating snacks and chatting.

Ariko went back to the shrine in the afternoon. After all, it was the New Year and she wanted to spend it with her family.

At ten o'clock, Qiao Qiao brought rice cakes and buckwheat noodles. The four of them watched the show and ate rice cakes and buckwheat noodles. A comfortable and leisurely atmosphere lingered in the air.

No wonder Suzuka made such a wish.

Qiao Qiao thought.

A life without having to deal with weirdness and old gods is so simple and unpretentious, but not boring.

At half past eleven, Qiao Qiao looked at the red and white singing show that was about to come to an end and stood up.

"Let's get ready and go to Chuyi."
