Shana jumped off the handrail, stood aside, and looked up at the oppressive commercial buildings standing in front of them: "Tactical discussions are not necessary for the time being, after all, so far Fariagni has not directly fought with us. Well--now, I'm thinking of another question, Rattonbosch, do you think... this city is a little weird."

Connected to several roads, centered on the station building of Misaki City Station, which includes a large bus terminal, the downtown area, including the city hall, company offices, department stores, and underground shopping malls, lined up in front of us.

The ordinary scene, the ordinary atmosphere, the peaceful daily life... That thin layer of appearance, fragile cover up the story of the turbulent undercurrent, the history intertwined with another dimension that will never be known to mortals, and it is always hanging here The sword of Damocles above the world's head.

"When you say that, it is indeed a bit awkward and incongruous..."

I pretended to be thoughtful, thinking about how to organize the language next.

"Even if it's the 'Demon King', the number of torches is too much for that 'hunter' alone."

Casting a look of anticipation at me, Shana's lovely face was full of seriousness: "In terms of the degree of burning, from the new torches that were eaten yesterday to the old torches that were about to disappear, to be honest, there are too many, if not Settling in this city, the number can't be so many."

呒... I do a full set of dramas. Anyway, I'm used to performing good dramas that are enough to win the Golden Man Award - especially after replacing the super "actor" Aizen Soyousuke.

"...Wait a minute, I seem to have thought of something—"

Putting on a flash of inspiration, I put on the pose of the famous detective Conan resting his chin, "Wow, damn, there are not enough clues!"

As for the look of me, who always seemed to be a little loose, I suddenly became serious, Shana's eyes showed a look of surprise, and she seemed to remind: "Listen to Alastair, you have been sleeping for a long time, and you are a relatively young Demon King. , then maybe you don't know that ordinary 'apostles' who want to eat, use, and play with power can actually go anywhere, and basically do so - if such a large number of torches gradually disappear in the same place, The distortion of the world will thus expand; since Fariagni would rather risk being discovered by the Fire Mist Warriors... there must be something in this city, or something he wants to plan here."

"Ah! I remember!"

I thumped my hand, and Tsukuru came to his senses... oh no, it was a slap in the face: "But I still need some evidence, ummm."

Alastair suddenly said: "What do you think of, let's hear it."————This is the dividing line————PS: Just a small question, everyone thinks that using the "honeymelon bag" "Is it better to use the literal translation or the free translation of "pineapple bun"?

PS: As usual, thanks to LuCEing, a fake house, and Evangelion00 for their rewards.

Chapter 291

"This is..."

To Alastair's question, I said sternly, "Actually, I haven't experienced that incident, that is, the big trouble caused by the Crimson Demon King whose real name is 'Coffin Tailor', it seems that there is something like this The emergence of a massive torch as a precursor."

Alastair made a slightly unbelievable voice: "You mean..."

"Well, that's it, I remember the event being called..."

"Devouring the city—"

Alastair said heavily, "That incident became an important opportunity for the birth of our fire and fog warriors."

"That's it—"

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Do you think the current situation is a bit similar? It's just that there is still a lack of conclusive evidence."

Alastair reluctantly said: "Yes, it is not something we are good at to confirm whether a special mechanism is installed on the torch..."

I'm also very helpless, it seems that just holding a zero-hour fan can't see the "beating" of the torch like Mystis.

Shana stepped forward quickly and stepped forward: "It's gone!"

I followed closely and spread my hands: "I said, Fariagni is called a 'hunter', I think it's not just because he likes to collect treasures and hunt fire and fog warriors, but because he likes to collect Noble Phantasm and hunt fire and fog warriors. Is it more important to use conspiracy and tricks? So it should be impossible to 'fish' him out with such obvious lure tactics as we are now!"

"Did you forget what I said?"

Shana unconsciously but naturally pulled my sleeve tube, who stopped, and strode through the crowd: "I'm just doing what I want to do, and even if the chances are small, there are still enemies that will be drawn out. Possibility!"

Ignoring the crappy trailing group of four at the other end of the bridge, I let Shana pull and continue to wander aimlessly—this is also an important event to add emotional points! Just treat it as a date with Shana, anyway, shopping with Xing and the others in the past was considered "practice"...

Not blocked, my spiritual sense was unimpeded, swept one high-rise building after another, but I couldn't find any trace of Fariagni - tsk, doesn't that guy like to stand and overlook like smoke and idiots The scenery, where did you go? ————The dividing line of time and space————The pale sky is still a little while away from dusk. In the delicate atmosphere of laziness, Shana and I naturally set out on our way home.

Obviously, there was no gain at all—well, we can’t completely deny it. We found a torch that was about to go out and studied it carefully, and finally determined that there was indeed some incomprehensible mechanism set up inside.

But to be honest, I didn't have any expectations for this random plan to lure snakes out of their holes. The only purpose was to add "hidden values" such as favorability and intimacy to Shana, so this is a natural result.

At the intersection, the traffic light in front of you turns red.

The sidewalk that turned into a red light happened to be the entrance of the supermarket, so Shana stopped by to buy a late-night snack on the way back.

The girl walked into the supermarket, without even glancing at the fresh food in front of her. She did not follow the normal shopping path at all, and went directly to the snack store in the center.

In other words... can snacks, which must be a lot of sweets, also be used as "snacks"?

By the way, in the process of buying snacks, we continue to have a deep discussion around the "enemy's conspiracy".

In the end, Shana had filled the shopping basket unknowingly, and finally came to the shelf near the cashier to pick bread.

Sure enough, the girl's eyes were fixed on the honeydew bun.

The serious topic about the survival of a town just now seemed to be completely left behind. Facing the many kinds of honeydew melon buns, Shana was carefully considering it.

Uh, I don't seem to have seen so many subdivisions for a certain type of bread in the Celestial Dynasty - no wonder the Japanese can come up with "Japanese Bread King", which is even more embarrassing than "Chinese Little Master". Floors of anime come.

In order to continue to "add points", I had to deliberately cause a topic, so Shana naturally and loudly published a general and righteous declaration of principles for selecting honeydew buns.

"Xana, you really like melon buns!"

I couldn't help but admire.

As a result, this carefully selected procedure took ten minutes before and after.

When we arrived at the house, the sky was finally approaching dusk.

"Although I don't care much about human beings, I hate the destruction of beautiful things."

I said so, and then chatted with Shana, who had acquiesced, in the grass beside the courtyard wall for a while, and by the way, like a child, I begged her for some candy she bought—similarly, to enhance intimacy!

"Didn't I pay for it in the end? It's okay to give me a little bit?"

"No, you paid the bill voluntarily!"

"That's right, but..."

"Don't just don't!"

above……

After being discovered by Qiancao... Well, Shana is naturally "forced" to eat rice "reluctantly" - after all, compared to Will Emina, who cooks hard, Qiancao's cooking skills are like putting Shana in paradise.

Not surprisingly, in the end, "mother" of course asked me to send "the weak girl who walks at night" home.

sigh……

It's night, Shana is naturally confused about "being associated with other people", and Alastair once again shows the old-fashioned enthusiasm that does not match his horrifying name, or more accurately, the calm and wise brought about by rich experience. , to solve the girl's confusion.

Ahh, at this time, I was tossing and turning in bed, excited!
