Chapter 55: Investigator Shimamura who sings to death
"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 patiently explained: "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? Don't you think about 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 sewer entrance 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 used his broken gong voice to hum it crazily and off-key, which made the young lady's mentality explode.
Not to mention Wu Lili, who has four channels of sound and very sharp hearing because of her animal ears.
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, is it so bad?!" He looked surprised, paused, and said with a playful smile: "But it doesn't matter! I still don't listen enough, and I will get used to it!"
After hearing this, Beast Ear Girl let out another miserable cry. It seemed like I was about to cry.
But this time it seemed that it was because she accidentally stepped on a fat and big baby maggot.
It was really miserable.
The sound of popping pulp is clearly audible, and 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 touched. However, because the holding method was uncomfortable and she could not put her weight on Yi Xing, she was ready to ask for a different 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: "Can such a person be treated as such?" Investigator? Then we can do it too! Yixing, you are even more handsome than him."
"You are 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 worried the people of Tokyo.
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 weird.
In order to lead the way, Erina and I walked in front.
Yoshiyuki was vigilant and protected the eldest 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, Investigator Shimamura made a lot of flirtatious 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, guess why my cane is silver?"
"Because he has possessed a spirit before?" Yi Xing answered as he felt that he was definitely stable this time.
"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 looked disgusted.
She hates when others say bad things about Yi Xing, even if they are joking, she will be disgusted.
In the eyes of the eldest lady, Yi Xing belongs to her 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 bit." Yoshiyuki held the eldest lady's soft and slender hand very naturally, while having the bold fantasy of beating up the investigator with the eldest lady later.
Although two-on-one is a bit unethical in martial arts 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?
Yoshiyuki thinks not.
It's like why Shuten Doji needs to be singled out when he can be beaten to death by a group.
After that, Gunslinger Shimamura began to take the initiative to stir up topics 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 story about when he went to Kanagawa to slay demons two days ago, and how he came back by catching an eyeball demon.
I was actually hunting birds in the mountains and wanted to roast them, 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, and it would be great as a pet! So I stayed.
As a result, the eyeball monster kept bumping around in the cage and tried to bite his hand off while feeding.
In desperation, he could only ask an acquaintance to find Yusuke, who was good at taming demons, for help.
"Oh, speaking of this, Yusuke talks about you guys a lot, right?" Gunslinger Shimamura blew another bubble and said pleasantly, "Do you want to hear his evaluation of you guys?"
