For Fang Zheng, if he wants to stay in a place for a long time, he will basically buy a house. On the one hand, this is also a Chinese habit, and on the other hand, having a place of your own is always more comfortable than staying in a hotel. His several clones naturally have the same habit. After investigation, Shizuku found that Kyoto is indeed a good place for health preservation, so she also thought about buying a house here.

As for buying a house...she naturally left it to Kagami no Mist Branch.

This made Kaname no Kirie extremely angry, but what could she do? If she tried to protest, Shizuku would just glance at her, hook her finger, extend her tentacles, and Kaname no Kirie would kneel down the next moment.

Although Kagano Kirie also has a Western-style mansion of her own, Shizuku is not interested in it and there is nothing she can do about it.

As for Shizuku herself, she returned to her job.

This commission is also quite interesting to Shizuku.

"Looking for a puppet?"

Hearing this, Shizuku looked at the middle-aged man in a suit with interest. Judging from his clothes, this man should be a successful person. But now he looks haggard, his eyes are dull, and his brows are sad. According to Hara Masagako, this man originally had a happy family, but not long ago, his daughter mysteriously disappeared during the school summer training. Although the police were called to search for her, there was no result.

And the purpose of his coming to entrust Shizuku this time was not to find his daughter, but... to find a doll.

"Yes."

Facing Shizuku's curious gaze, the man nodded slightly.

"The day after my daughter disappeared, I went to the school to look for clues. A girl from the art department told me that she had seen a strange doll nearby when my daughter disappeared. Although the police and the school believed that this had nothing to do with my daughter's disappearance, I felt that the doll was my daughter."

"Where's the puppet?"

"I don't know when he disappeared..."

"Hmm... so you think your daughter has become a doll..."

After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Shizuku stared at the drawing paper he took out. The drawing on it was a very ordinary doll model. From the outside, it was just a doll stand made of ball joints, without even hair or clothes. But such a doll appearing in the wild was indeed suspicious.

"I'll look into it."

Since she was free anyway, Shizuku quickly gave an answer.

For Shizuku, it was extremely easy to sneak into a school. As long as she put on her school uniform and walked into the school with confidence, almost no one would doubt her identity.

Originally, Shizuku thought that she might have wasted some time, but what she didn't expect was that when she walked into the library, she found an unusually familiar figure.

Apart from anything else, the bun and side ponytail hairstyle is so unique that it is impossible to make a mistake.

As Shizuku watched, the girl came and sat down next to another boy, holding a book. Then she glanced at him and spoke in a low voice.

"I advise you not to get too close to that girl."

Hearing the girl's sudden words, the boy next to her was stunned, while the girl looked at him with a smile.

"If you want eternal life, I can give it to you. I also know how to live forever as you are now."

However, when the boy heard the girl's words, he turned his head away indifferently.

"That kind of thing is fine."

Hearing the other party's answer, the girl seemed to be insulted. She frowned and stared at the boy seriously.

"That woman has no idea what eternal beauty is."

However, in response to the girl's rebuttal, the boy silently closed his book and stood up.

"I don't know what you know. The agreement is just an excuse to meet. I... like her. I love her. She's the only one I desire. Even if... she doesn't belong to this world, it doesn't matter."

After saying this, the boy didn't even look at the girl, and then turned away. The girl lowered her head, clenched her fists, and whispered to herself.

"In love with her? Humans...in love with gods and demons?"

At the same time, a voice sounded beside the girl.

"As a pick-up artist, your method is too poor, Miss Meixi."

With these words, Shizuku sat down next to Miyu, looking at her with a smile. The latter's expression changed slightly, and she turned her head to look at Shizuku beside her. Although the two had only met once, considering the strength that Shizuku had shown in the previous vampire riot, Miyu, as a god and devil monitor, certainly could not help but pay attention to this.

"…Why are you here?"

"I was asked to investigate a missing person case."

In response to Miyu's slightly wary question, Shizuku shrugged.

"A man's daughter disappeared for no apparent reason, and he suspected that his daughter had been turned into a doll, so he asked me to investigate. But seeing you here... um, does that mean this is another work of gods and demons?"

“…”

In response to Shizuku's question, Miyu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"That's easy... But then again, you're actually interested in that effeminate gigolo."

“I like beautiful people.”

When it comes to her own aesthetic taste, Miyu obviously has no intention of giving in on this aspect, but Shizuku has a different opinion on this.

"I like it too, but I only like beautiful and cute girls. As for men, I don't care about their life or death... So, what were you talking about just now? Eternal life? That's too childish."

“…”

Hearing this, Meixi raised her head with a complicated expression and looked out the window in front of her.

"He is a human, but he fell in love with gods and demons... I originally thought that he chose to be seduced and tempted by gods and demons in order to keep his beauty forever, but..."

"What's so strange about this?"

Compared to the confused Miyu, Shizuku, as a veteran, has seen a lot more.

"That god and devil must be very beautiful. People's values ​​are determined by their appearance, isn't that the case? Especially that kid's age, he is immature and decadent, always thinking that he is as miserable as Mary Sue. The cowardly and incompetent pretty boy likes this kind of tone the most..."

As she spoke, Shizuku stretched lazily.

"I think even if you're looking for prey, you should improve your taste, Miss Meixi. That middle school boy is all show and no substance. Aren't you afraid that if you take a bite, it might turn out to be gutter oil..."

"this……"

Facing Shizuku's familiarity, Miyu seemed a little overwhelmed. As a watcher of gods and demons, she rarely had such a close relationship with others. As an eternal vampire, Miyu had experienced a lot of things. As an eternal girl, she had transferred to many places and had some friends. But those friends didn't know her true identity. It was the first time for Miyu to see someone like Shizuku who knew her identity and came to interact with her enthusiastically.

But wait…

"You don't want to..."

Thinking of the vampire's ** before, Mei Xi was suddenly shocked. Using the current game terminology, if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Could it be that this guy wants to steal monsters again? !

"Oh, this time the client just wants to find the doll his daughter turned into."

Shizuku of course understood what Miyu was thinking and waved her hand decisively.

"Your job is to send the escaped gods and demons back. I won't interfere this time. What do you plan to do?"

"I……"

In response to Shizuku's question, Miyu hesitated for a moment, then she seemed to have thought of something and stared at Shizuku beside her with a playful smile.

"I want that boy's blood, and I want to send that demon back into darkness."

"no problem."

Hearing Miyu's answer, Shizuku snapped her fingers.

"Then let's do it."

In the church, a black-haired girl in a white kimono was hugging the beautiful boy tightly in her arms.

Then, a violent storm began to howl.

Everything around was torn apart by the strong wind, and the girl in kimono just knelt there silently. Then she turned around and looked forward.

"Good afternoon, Meixi."

At the same time, Miyu, who was wearing a red kimono, appeared quietly, and appeared in front of the kimono girl together with Shizuku. The former stared coldly at the kimono girl in front of her, and then spoke.

"First give him to me, and then you return to the darkness."

“Wow.”

Hearing Miyuki's overbearing speech, Shizuku couldn't help but whistle and looked at the vampire princess beside her. As Miyuki spoke, the masked man behind her raised his right hand and summoned a ball of fire - but at this moment, suddenly, countless silver lights flashed.

The silk thread that fell from the sky instantly pierced through the masked man behind Meixi, then tied him up and hung him on the cross.

"Rafa!!"

Meixi was also shocked to see her partner being knocked down in an instant. At the same time, the kimono girl laughed coldly and complacently. She reached out and gently stroked the hair of the beautiful boy in her arms, looking at Meixi provocatively.

"Fufufu... This man is of no use to me, but I don't want to hand him over to a greedy young lady like you..."

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

Looking at the scene in front of her and listening to the conversation between the two sides, Shizuku shook her head silently. Those who knew that this was the extermination of gods and demons, and those who didn't thought it was the season of White Album again.

Hearing the words of the kimono girl, Meixi's face darkened, and without saying anything, she rushed directly towards the gods and demons in front of her. Then she raised her right hand, and a flash of fire flashed from it. Then Meixi stretched out her hand, wanting to send the gods and demons in front of her back into the darkness.

However, facing Meixi's actions, the kimono girl seemed quite calm. She raised her hand, and the next moment the beautiful boy lying on the ground stood up instantly. Then the kimono girl flashed and disappeared into the body of the beautiful boy. Seeing this scene, Meixi also stopped in a hurry - this beautiful boy was still her prey, it would be a waste if she burned him to death!

But just when Meixi stopped, the kimono girl reappeared, untied her belt, and threw it at Meixi. The long belt flew out like a python, tightly wrapping Meixi. At the same time, the kimono girl hugged the beautiful boy again, looking at Meixi provocatively.

"you……!!"

Obviously, Meixi couldn't accept this kind of scene of showing affection in public, and she roared, and flames suddenly broke out, tearing the belt that was wrapped around her. Then Meixi suddenly stretched out her hand, and soon, a strong airflow flew over, instantly pulling the beautiful boy who was originally hugging the kimono girl tightly into Meixi's arms.

While holding the beautiful boy in her arms, Miyuki showed a smug smile like the mistress in a romance drama who successfully got promoted, and looked at the girl in kimono in front of her.

"Please watch carefully. Your beloved man will receive eternal life after receiving my blood."

“…”

We are performing an exorcism, can you be serious?

Looking at the love triangle scene in front of her, Shizuku was completely speechless.

After proudly declaring her ownership of the beautiful boy, Miyu lowered her head and tried to suck his blood. Seeing this, the kimono girl trembled with anger, her eyes widened - and the next moment, her eyeballs fell out of their sockets and fell to the ground like glass balls.

"careful!"

Seeing this, Shizuku was startled and hurriedly opened her mouth to remind him. But just as she finished speaking, the kimono girl suddenly turned into a strange shadow and rushed towards Miyuki, snatching the beautiful boy from her arms. Miyuki also hurriedly stepped back and jumped back to Shizuku's side.

"Why are you provoking her? A cornered dog can be very troublesome. Why don't you just bite her?"

At this moment, Shizuku also raised Frostmourne, staring ahead, complaining non-stop. But Miyu didn't respond to her complaints, she just stared blankly ahead - there, the originally beautiful black-haired kimono girl had turned into a puppet, her body was a combination of wood and joints, and she looked like a puppet being waved. The beautiful boy was held in her arms, motionless, as if he had no consciousness.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Hugging the beautiful boy tightly, the black-haired doll laughed triumphantly. She looked at Miyu like a winner and spoke.

"Didn't you ask me before why I didn't turn Katsura into a puppet? I'll answer you now! I'm a god-demon, but I fell in love with a human... I've fallen in love with Katsura. That's why I can't turn him into a half-dead puppet. Gods and demons are different from humans, and they have long forgotten what love is. But now it seems that this is completely wrong..."

As he spoke, the black-haired puppet took off the clothes of the beautiful boy in front of him. Under his clothes was a puppet's body, made of joints and wood, just like the black-haired puppet.

“——”

Seeing this, Meixi's face darkened, while the black-haired puppet sneered smugly. Then, she raised the beautiful boy who had turned into a puppet as if showing off her trophy.

"What do you think? Mixi, do you still love him? Even if that beautiful man has become like this? Hahahahahaha..."

“…”

Looking at the beautiful boy who had turned into a puppet in front of her, Miyu said nothing, while the black-haired puppet hugged the beautiful boy tightly.

"I love him, this look... belongs only to me... this is something that belongs only to me..."

For a moment, the scene became extremely quiet. However, at this moment, another cold voice sounded.

"No, he doesn't belong to you."

Along with this sound, ice spikes exploded instantly, trapping the black-haired puppet inside. Then, ice chains suddenly appeared, tightly binding the motionless beautiful boy's puppet, and then quickly shrinking. Then, the puppet that was transformed from the beautiful boy was seen being bound by ice chains and flying up, and then fell heavily in front of Shizuku.

“Gui! Gui!!”

Seeing her beloved doll being taken away, the black-haired doll screamed immediately, but Shizuku just stared at her with a sneer on her face.

"You want to go back to the dark abyss with your beloved? Unfortunately, you don't deserve this treatment. Have you ever thought about how many people have lost their beloved children because of you? And now? You still dream of being happy?"

As she spoke, Shizuku raised her right hand, clenched Frostmourne, and then stabbed the puppet in front of her with force.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”

A painful scream came from the puppet, and the next moment, the puppet of the beautiful boy suddenly shattered and was sucked into the blade of the pitch-black sword.

"Gui!! No!!! Give it back to me!!!"

Seeing this scene, the black-haired puppet let out a shrill scream of pain, while Shizuku revealed a cold and hideous smile, staring at her.

"I won't kill you. You will be sent back to the dark abyss. You will suffer eternal pain and torture like those who lost their loved ones because of you... Meixi, send her back!"

“Oh…oh…”

After hearing Shizuku's order, Miyu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. Then she looked at the gods and demons in front of her with a complicated expression and raised her right hand.

"God and Demon Lanjia, go back to the darkness!!"

Following Miyu's command, the flames erupted again, completely engulfing the black-haired doll.

“No!! I don’t want to go back!! Give Katsura back to me!! Give it back to me…!!!!!!”

The shrill screams gradually faded away and disappeared into the darkness along with the flames.

“…”

Miyu put down her right hand and looked at Shizuku beside her with a complicated expression. It was not the first time for her to send gods and demons back into darkness, nor was it the first time she experienced such an emotional entanglement.

but……

"Ms. Kasugano, isn't it a bit too..."

"Mistakes must be punished."

Shizuku shook her head, interrupting Miyu's question.

"She turned so many people into puppets and caused their parents to lose their loved ones. So I think it is a very reasonable reward to give her the same treatment... She made a choice and she must bear the consequences."

Having said that, Shizuku retracted Frostmourne and smiled at Miyu.

"Well, my mission is over now. Goodbye. I hope to see you next time."

After saying this, Shizuku turned and left, while Miyu stared at Shizuku's back. After a moment, she suddenly asked.

"Ms. Kasugano, do you want eternal life?"

In response to Miyu's question, Shizuku didn't even turn around, but just waved her hand.

"I already have this thing."
