Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

After saying goodbye to Karina, Night Crow just returned to the sea and heard Kampers's puzzled mental transmission:

"I remember you have two leg rings called "Sacred Costumes", each with a set of top-level robes, why do you still choose cumbersome and inconvenient ordinary clothes?"

"That," Night Crow answered casually, "the two sets of clothes cover too little of the body surface... It was okay before that she had no gender, but now she has become a beautiful lady with a super figure, and it is too inappropriate for children to wear that."

"... So that's it!" Kampers suddenly realized.

...

After hanging up the "phone call" from Kampers, Night Crow was about to go find Lucia, when the main body suddenly sent a message:

"Oborozuki was fired from the position of "guardian" by those Takigawa people. Hurry up and recruit him, or Team 7 will get him first!"

-Although the ghosts of Takigawa Village have passed away and no longer control them, their wishes and obsessions have already permeated the entire spiritual network and become a part that the new Takigawa people cannot give up. Therefore, Night Crow had expected that Oborozuki would be "fired", but...

"If this continues, the office will become a museum of rare intelligent species!" Night Crow couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't this quite exciting?" Lenari asked back, "In a bustling city, a mobile office that comes and goes without a trace, strange and mysterious employees..."

"...You're right." Night Crow, who is essentially the same "person", was convinced, "Coordinates?"

"In..."

...

Phantom City, the rooftop of the outpatient building of the Seventh Brigade Hospital.

Long Yue looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, and the extremely familiar racial characteristics immediately eliminated most of his vigilance.

"Your Excellency is..." Long Yue asked cautiously but not rudely.

"You can call me 'Night Crow'." Night Crow lowered his altitude and floated less than ten centimeters above the ground on the rooftop, and said straightforwardly.

"Night Crow?" Long Yue was stunned for a moment, "Are you a colleague of the Excellency 'Night Crow No. 2'?"

"Yes." Night Crow nodded, "Also, there is no need to use honorifics. This is not popular outside, and it is strange to use it..."

"...Okay." Long Yue tried to resist the urge to apologize and said it fluently. ——Suddenly he had to abandon this habit of tens of thousands of years, in fact, he was not used to it...

Seeing that the atmosphere was cooling down, Night Crow quickly got to the point: "Well, actually I was ordered to invite you... Here, this is the business card of 'Rumored to Have a Family Agency'."

Night Crow took out a beautifully made business card from his sleeve - in fact, from the Night Crow. Earlier, the Radiant Truth simply transformed the "main body" of the Night Crow so that the cabin of the Night Crow could directly connect to each new independent body - and controlled it to fly towards Longyue.

Longyue raised her hand to catch the slowly flying business card, carefully read the front and back of the business card, which actually did not have much content, and looked up with some doubts and asked: "You... um, what do you mean by 'invitation'...?"

"Job invitation." Night Crow said happily, "My Lord Chang'an's family's industry 'Rumored to Have a Family Agency' is a very reliable and promising ghost story detective agency. We currently have..."

"Okay."

"...Multiple S-level/super-level... um? You agreed?" Night Crow confirmed in surprise.

"Yes." Longyue nodded and said sincerely, "I trust His Excellency 'Lord of Everlasting Darkness'."

...What do you mean by "trust"? Isn't it just to observe the style of the "Lord of Everlasting Darkness" up close? In the final analysis, it is still risking one's life to personally step on the mines for those Takigawa people...

Ye Ya muttered in his heart, but did not show anything on his face, as if he believed the other party's words, and said happily:

"That's great! Let's go, I'll take you to the office headquarters to arrange the room first."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Ya waved his hand, and an exquisite double-opening modern and simple glass door appeared on the rooftop not far away...

"Ahem! There is no suitable wall here, so the door can only be opened on the ground..." Ye Ya cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment and explained.

"I can understand." Longyue said sympathetically.

There is indeed no real "wall" on the rooftop of this outpatient building.
