Watching Ran and Yuzuru flee in panic, Eri Kisaki stood quietly in place, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She shook her head and then sighed softly.
"I really feel like my cooking skills have improved lately..."
She muttered to herself, her voice tinged with grievance.
She clearly puts so much effort into the kitchen, meticulously researching various recipes and striving to improve her culinary skills. The food she makes is perfect in terms of color, aroma, and taste. So why does it seem like everyone is so afraid to eat her cooking?
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.
Veterinarian Hubu approached with a gentle smile: "Attorney Fei, your daughter and that young man... seem quite energetic."
Eri Kisaki turned around, quickly resuming her professional smile: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, the children were a bit reckless."
“No, she’s very cute.” Doctor Tobu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, “Actually… what your daughter said just now…”
Eri Kisaki raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Hubu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "She said you should find a new partner... Although it was a misunderstanding, I sincerely hope... that partner could be me."
Eri Kisaki's expression instantly turned cold. Her originally elegant face became serious and stern, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes behind her glasses, as if she could see through the other person's thoughts.
"Doctor Hubu," her voice was still elegant and pleasant, but it carried an undeniable firmness, like a cold winter wind that sent chills down one's spine, "I am very grateful for your care of my Xiaonan, but please do not have such thoughts again."
The Ministry of Revenue physician's face stiffened: "But..."
“No buts.” Eri Kisaki interrupted him crisply. “I only have respect for you as a veterinarian, nothing more.”
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
The doctor's smile gradually faded, finally turning into a bitter laugh: "I understand... I apologize for the offense."
Eri nodded slightly and turned to leave, but then heard the physician behind her ask resentfully, "Is it because of that young man? Your daughter said... we should find someone like him..."
Eri Kisaki abruptly stopped, her ears turning red involuntarily, but she didn't turn around, only coldly tossing out, "This is none of your business."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the parking lot.
Sitting in the car, Eri Kisaki took a deep breath, trying to calm her inexplicably racing heart. She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message to Ran:
[You ran pretty fast, huh? Next time we meet, the punishment will be doubled.]
After sending the message, she was just about to start the car when her phone suddenly vibrated.
It wasn't Ran's reply, but Yuzuru's:
[Mother-in-law, please don't be angry. I'll come and enjoy your cooking separately next time~]
Eri stared at the text message for a while, her cheeks gradually burning. An indescribable emotion spread through her heart. Her finger hovered over the screen for a long time before she finally replied with only one word:
【snort. 】
After sending it, she felt that her reply might be a bit too girlish, and hesitated whether to add something, when her phone vibrated again:
[But before that, I suggest you try the dishes with Yukiko-neechan first, she's your best friend ^_^]
Misfortune can strike from the sky while you're sitting at home.
At this moment, Yukiko, who was lying on the living room sofa, wearing a face mask and watching a movie, had no idea that she had been betrayed by her mischievous younger brother.
She was enjoying this leisurely time.
The phone rang at the other end of the sofa, and Yukiko leisurely used her delicate white feet to hook the phone over.
"Moshi moshi, good Eri, what made you think of calling this princess..."
...
...
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
During this time, the existence of the monsters was like a sudden storm, completely exposing them to the view of major intelligence organizations around the world.
Information about the monsters has long been thoroughly uncovered thanks to the tireless investigations of countless intelligence agents.
Although the actual appearances of the monsters are somewhat different from their legendary images, based on the surveillance footage left behind after each monster's frightening appearance, major intelligence organizations are generally able to accurately determine the legendary identity of each monster.
but……
Knowing someone's identity is useless!
These monsters are elusive and can turn invisible, making them completely ineffective against ordinary weapons.
The heads of various organizations are extremely worried.
Those monsters seemed to be organized and premeditated. Apart from the three Amanojaku brothers' unbridled slaughter at the winery at the beginning, which left a very deep and terrifying impression on everyone, the monsters that appeared later rarely showed such large-scale killing.
Although the monsters don't kill people indiscriminately, they love to cause trouble!
These days, intelligence organizations from various countries in Japan have all been attacked to varying degrees.
Intelligence data would mysteriously disappear, communication equipment would suddenly malfunction, and some members of the organization would even encounter various bizarre situations while carrying out missions.
In this situation, let alone missions, even daily intelligence gathering becomes extremely difficult and almost impossible to carry out normally.
Many organizations have begun to desperately seek out successors of ancient professions such as Onmyoji and exorcists, hoping to use them to fight against monsters.
However, in this modern society devoid of spiritual energy, they are destined to be disappointed.
