Chapter 55: The Shimamura Investigator Who Sings
"Oops, I almost forgot." Just as Investigator Shimamura was about to leave, he remembered something important and stopped: "Maekawa-kun, is it okay for you to just use a wooden sword?"
"Don't worry about me. This knife has been strengthened by the eldest lady's spell. Although it is not sharp, it is much stronger than ordinary metal."
"I see. But what's the difference between a dull knife and a stick?"
"The difference is huge." Yoshiyuki explained patiently: "Sword skills are sword skills after all. Compared with the attack method of the wooden sword and the ordinary samurai sword, there is not much difference except that it cannot be used. Even because it does not have an edge, it is okay to worry when taking action.
lesser."
"Even so, to protect someone as important as your eldest daughter, a steel knife is better, right? Why don't you consider getting a real one to replace the tattered one on your waist?"
"...This is the birthday gift that the eldest lady gave me last year. She even engraved the word 'Yi Xing' on it with her own hands. It is very important to me and is not a piece of junk at all." Yi Xing's face suddenly sank: "Please
Take back what you said."
"Sorry, how do I know its origin? Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Gunslinger Shimamura smiled after apologizing, knowing that continuing to talk now would be boring, so he stopped talking.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the entrance of the sewer in a casual manner.
Along the way, he hummed the My Little Pony theme song as he walked, and sometimes even imitated musical instruments with his mouth to accompany a piece of music.
Originally, this piece of music was a bit magical, but he also hummed it crazily out of tune with his broken gong voice, which made the eldest lady's mentality explode.
Not to mention Wu Lili, who has four channels of sound because of her animal ears, and her hearing is very sharp.
Her smile froze the moment she heard the song, then gradually disappeared, and finally she covered the two animal ears on her head and howled.
"Mr. Shimamura! Can you stop singing!"
"Oh, is it hard to hear?" Gunslinger Shimamura asked with a smile.
"It's not just unpleasant!" Wu Lili was about to collapse: "It's like scratching the cochlea with your fingernails on a blackboard!"
"Oh my, is it so bad?!" He looked surprised, paused, and then said with a playful smile: "But it doesn't matter! I still don't listen enough, and I'll get used to it after I get used to it!"
After hearing this, Beast Ear Girl let out a miserable cry again, as if she was about to cry.
But this time it seemed that it was because she accidentally stepped on a fat and big baby maggot.
It's really miserable.
The sound of the pulp exploding can be heard clearly from a distance. As long as you think about it from time to time, it is very helpful to save food.
You can also lose weight, which really kills two birds with one stone.
In fact, the eldest lady almost stepped on her just now, but fortunately Yi Xing had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he picked her up and hid.
Erina thought that Yoshiyuki suddenly wanted to hug her and leave, and she was very moved. However, because the holding method was uncomfortable, she could not put her weight on Yoshiyuki, so she was ready to ask for a change of position.
Fortunately, Yoshiyuki put her down before her master could speak, and promptly stopped the eldest lady from taking advantage of her.
"Is this Shimamura mentally ill? Why is he more evil than my brother?" Erina was a little disappointed because she didn't hug him enough, but she quickly regained her energy and complained to Yoshiyuki in a low voice: "You can be considered a person like this.
Investigator? Then we can do that too! Yixing, you are even more handsome than him."
"Be content, Miss. Fujimori-san said that Mr. Shimamura is already considered a more normal one among the weird investigators."
Yoshiyuki said this in a low voice, which really made the people of Tokyo sweat.
He was a little suspicious of the weird investigators at the Metropolitan Police Department. The word "weird" meant more than just that they had to deal with weird incidents.
It also means that the search officer's behavior itself is very strange.
In order to lead the way, Erina and I walked in front.
Yoshihiro was vigilant and protected the young lady with his body throughout the whole process, with his hand pressed on the handle of the knife, ready to pull out the wooden knife to kill anyone at any time.
Erina, on the other hand, put away the dumplings and used the flashlight given by Gunslinger Shimamura to constantly act as a "compass" to tell everyone the direction of the target.
Because the sewer is open, the smell is not very strong.
But walking in a dark and narrow passage undoubtedly brings a lot of mental stress.
However, Prosecutor Shimamura made a lot of risqué remarks, so he succeeded in adjusting the atmosphere at this time.
"Maekawa-kun, do you think why my revolver is blue?"
"Because you like blue?" Yi Xing said casually.
"Wrong answer! One point deducted." Gunslinger Shimamura blew a bubble gum, broke it, rolled it back into his mouth with his tongue, and laughed.
"Young people should remember that this is not a game. In reality, not many people will paint their weapons casually just because they like it. My revolver is possessed and can shoot ice bullets, so it is blue——
Speaking of which, can you guess why my cane is silver?"
"Because I have possessed a spirit before?" Yi Xing felt that he was definitely stable this time, so he answered.
"Wrong. It's because I like silver canes." Investigator Shimamura sighed heavily: "You got such a simple question wrong twice in a row. Maekawa-kun still needs to use his brain more."
Erina showed a disgusted expression.
She hates when others say bad things about Yi Xing, even if it is a joke, it will disgust her.
In the eyes of the eldest lady, Yi Xing is hers and only she can scold him. No one else has the right to point fingers at her beloved servant.
"This man is so mean, Yi Xing, do you want to beat him up?" The eldest lady held Yi Xing's sleeves, puffed her mouth, and complained in a low voice.
"A little bit." Yi Xing held the eldest lady's soft and slender hand very naturally, while having the bold fantasy of beating up the prosecutor with the eldest lady later.
Although two-on-one is a bit unethical, and seems to be very sorry for the name Yi Xing, does it make sense to talk about martial ethics to such a disdainful person?
Yi Xing thinks not.
It's like why would a Shuten boy fight alone when he can be beaten to death by a group?
After that, Shengun Shimamura began to take the initiative to stir up the topic again.
He is just a talkative person, but a lot of the things he says are not nonsense and are quite interesting.
For example, he mentioned an interesting incident two days ago when he went to Kanagawa to slay demons, and how he came back by catching an eyeball demon.
I was actually hunting birds in the mountains and wanted to roast them to eat, but I accidentally knocked down the eyeball demon that flew by.
Shimamura said that he originally wanted to roast the eyeball demon and eat it, but then he thought about it, it would be great as a pet! So he stayed.
As a result, the eyeball monster kept bumping around in the cage and even tried to bite his hand off while feeding.
In desperation, I had no choice but to ask an acquaintance to find Yusuke, who was good at taming demons, for help.
