After completing two commissions in Kyoto, Shizuku returned to Tokyo. Not only that, she also brought a souvenir to Hinasaki Shinku.

"Crimson, look, I brought you some Kyoto specialties!"

Shizuku pushed the coal-faced Kagami no Mist branch in front of Hinasaki Shinku and showed off to her with a smile, while Hinasaki Shinku looked at the silver-haired beautiful girl in front of her with a confused look on her face.

“Shizuku-sister? What is this…?”

"Haven't you always wanted to see a monster? I brought you a vampire, take your time to watch it."

"Who is the monster?!"

Hearing this, Kagami no Kirie couldn't help but scream, while Hinasaki Shinku was stunned where she was, and it took her a while to react.

"Hey? Hey hey hey?!!!"

I have to admit that after hearing what Shizuku said, Hinasaki Shinku was completely dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Shizuku only went to Kyoto for a trip and actually brought back a vampire. And according to Shizuku's introduction, this vampire was actually her servant?

what is going on?

Hinasaki Shinku was completely confused, while Shizuku was smiling and saying nothing. As for Kagawa Kirie, her expression was grim, as if someone owed her a lot of money - although she didn't know the reason, but just by looking at Kagawa Kirie's expression, Hinasaki Shinku could be sure that this silver-haired beautiful girl definitely did not follow Shizuku willingly.

Although Kaname Kirie did not follow along willingly, Shizuku learned a lot of information about this world from her, which was a great gain for Shizuku.

Simply put, there are "monsters and ghosts" in this world.

However, compared with ordinary monsters and demons, the monsters and demons in this world are more complicated.

First of all, "妖" - 妖 refers to monsters. Simply put, it is like wolf, goblin, kappa, and other monsters with a long history. Of course, monsters are generally not very powerful, so they are rarely taken seriously. This is why Kagami no Kirie was furious when she heard Shizuku call herself a monster.

The second is "demon" - here it refers to monsters, but the monsters in this world are not the same as the so-called "monsters" in the main world. Instead, they refer to those groups that are aggressive, dangerous and evil by nature. For example, Western devils, Japanese ghosts, and Chinese Black Mountain Old Demons are all included.

To put it bluntly, the monster clan is actually equivalent to the underworld among non-humans. No matter whether you are the Italian Mafia, the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi or the Hong Kong Triads, in the final analysis, they are all organized gangs with a mafia nature - this is the definition of the devil.

Next is the "ghost" - as the literal meaning suggests, it refers to ghosts, spirits, evil spirits, and other spiritual beings. Those that Shizuku and Hinasaki Shinkuren encountered in Himuro Residence and Minamigami Village are outright "ghosts".

Finally, there is "strange" - the word "strange" here refers to weirdness, but unlike the other three, weird things basically belong to the "minority" among non-humans. Just like the gods and demons that Shizuku met in Kyoto, they are neither gods nor demons, so they are called gods and demons, and because they are too weird, they cannot be classified into the other three, so they are classified as weird.

Like the village that Shizuku arrived at when she traveled to this world before, those undead creatures and the flying fish god who was eaten alive by the villagers actually also belong to the category of "weird".

If we rank them in a pyramid, then among the demons, monsters, and goblins, monsters are directly excluded from the circle (because they are too strange), and the other three are demons, monsters, and goblins.

As a demon, Kagami no Kirie was naturally unhappy about being kidnapped by Shizuku, but...

"Ms. Kagami, are you... cold?"

Looking at the slightly trembling body of Kagami no Mist, Hinasaki Shinkuen asked curiously, but the latter just glanced at her, snorted coldly and said nothing - or rather, Kagami no Mist no longer had the energy to speak.

Because when she returned to her nest, Shizuku immediately released her dragon power and death aura, and announced to the surroundings again, "Solomon, I'm back again." For humans, it may be difficult for them to feel this, but for Kagami no Mist it is another matter.

When in Kyoto, since Shizuku needed to chase her target, she naturally had to restrain her aura in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

But now, back in her own territory, Shizuku simply let go completely, and this was an extremely horrible punishment for Kagami no Kirie.

As the saying goes, living with a king is like living with a tiger, but what if you are directly around a tiger?

This is what happened to Kagami Kirie now. She didn't even dare to move. She just sat obediently on the chair without saying a word - just like the leader who, when furious, had made up his mind to remain a wooden man in order to avoid attracting attention and implicating the unlucky subordinates who would suffer.

"Don't worry about her, she will be fine in a while."

Shizuku glanced at the Kaname no Mist Branch and then looked away.

"By the way, Crimson, did you have any commissions come in while I was away?"

"Yes, there are some."

Hearing Shizuku asking about work, Hinasaki Shinku hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Kagami no Kirie, then hurried to the desk and took out a folder.

"During the time when Sister Shizuku was away, I received many requests, including an invitation to a TV show..."

"Ignore those idiots."

"Yes, I know. I have already turned them all down. The remaining commission is..."

Hinasaki nodded deeply. She knew Shizuku's attitude towards the media, so she wouldn't be stupid enough to accept such a boring invitation. Then she flipped through the folder, took out a few letters, glanced at them, and handed them over.

"These are the currently valid commissions."

"Um……"

Shizuku took the letter, opened it and started reading.

"It's so boring. There are no interesting commissions..."

After reading the commission at hand, Shizuku sighed helplessly. Most of these commissions were simply to exorcise evil spirits or haunted places. For Shizuku, there was no need for her to do it herself, as Hinasaki Shinku could handle it. Shizuku naturally looked down on commissions of this level.

"I'll leave it to you. Is that ok, Crimson?"

"Okay, Sister Shizuku."

Hearing Shizuku's answer, Hinasaki Shinku nodded obediently. However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Hinasaki Shinku hurriedly put down the things in her hands and opened the door.

"Welcome to the Difficult Case Investigation Office. Excuse me...eh? Mio? Jian?"

"oh?"

Hearing Hinasaki's words, Shizuku curiously looked over from the desk and saw that the people outside the door were none other than the sisters Amakura Mayu and Amakura Mio.

"Long time no see, Sister Crimson."

The two of them also politely bowed to Hinasaki Shinku, and Hinasaki Shinku hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Long time no see, um... please come in, what can I do for you?"

In response to Hinasaki's deep red question, the two sisters looked at each other and shook their heads.

"It's not us, it's Uncle Ying."

As they spoke, the sisters made way, and then a man with a very ordinary appearance and no one worth mentioning appeared at the door with a wry smile on his face.

Since the customers had come, Hinasaki Shinku hurriedly welcomed everyone in. In addition to the sisters Amakura Mayu and Amakura Mio, there were two other people, they were the Amakura sisters' uncle Amakura Hotaru and a woman named Kurosawa Rei.

"Hello, my name is Amagura Hotaru. I heard about you, Miss Kasugano, from my nieces, so I came here for help. I hope you can help..."

"What is it, then?"

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was brought by the Amakura sisters, Shizuku would probably have asked him to fill out the form by now. However, for the sake of the twins, she still asked calmly.

"It's like this..."

And Amakura Hotaru finally did not waste any time and quickly explained everything.

It turns out that the protagonist of this incident is not him, but the woman beside him named Kurosawa Rei. She is the fiancée of Amagura Hotaru's good friend Aso Yuu, but unfortunately, not long ago, the two had a car accident and Aso Yuu died on the spot.

This was naturally a huge blow to Kurosawa Rei, but she quickly turned her grief into strength and started working hard.

However, when Kurosawa Rei went to an abandoned house to take pictures, she accidentally took a picture of her fiancé Aso Yu.

At that time, Kurosawa Rei thought she was hallucinating because of her excessive longing, but when she went home to develop the photos, she was surprised to find that her fiancé Aso Yuu was actually photographed in the photos. Not only that, that night, Kurosawa Rei also had a dream that she came to a big house with snow falling, and was chased by a woman with tattoos all over her body. In the end, she struggled to escape and woke up.

However, after Kurosawa Rei woke up, something even more bizarre happened. A tattoo appeared on her shoulder for no apparent reason. Not only that, she could also see some wronged souls and ghosts.

In the next few days, Kurosawa Rei often dreamed about all this, which made her very uneasy, so she called her fiancé's friend Amagura Hotaru for help. Amagura Hotaru also learned from the sisters Amagura Mayu and Amagura Mio about how they escaped from Minamigami Village, and knew that they knew a considerable psychic, so she asked the two to come to Shizuku for help.

"Tattoo?"

After listening to Amakura Hotaru's story, Shizuku stood up, walked to Kurosawa Rei, and looked at her shoulder curiously.

"There's nothing here."

"It was there at first, but it went away quickly. But I will never forget the pain... It was like someone was really tattooing me!"

“I see…”

Hearing this, Shizuku thought for a moment, then she stretched out a finger and placed it on Kurosawa Rei's shoulder. Soon, Kurosawa Rei screamed in pain and curled up. At the same time, a blue tattoo appeared on the back of her fair shoulder.

Seeing this, Shizuku raised her eyebrows, then retracted her fingers, and at the same time, the tattoo disappeared.

"How are you? Lian? Are you okay?"

At this time, Amakura Hotaru hurriedly supported the staggering Kurosawa Rei and asked in a low voice, the latter shook his head.

"No, I... I feel so uncomfortable. At that moment just now, I felt like my body was about to be torn apart..."

"Um……"

Hearing Kurosawa Rei's answer, Shizuku narrowed her eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression.

This commission seems to be a bit troublesome.
