"I can only say this much. If you don't want to rent anymore, it's better to leave early..."
After the auntie finished speaking, she took out a vacuum cleaner, mop, and other tools from the compartment on the first floor to herself and started cleaning inside and out.
Because the auntie had already cleaned it once yesterday, today could only be considered checking for omissions, so she took her leave and left in less than an hour.
The time quickly reached six o'clock in the afternoon, and only Shirogane Miyuki and the other two were left in the house again.
"Uh... I suddenly feel that the room Kei chose is not bad either! Let's go back first!" Shirogane Miyuki's face was a bit pale as he suddenly looked up and proposed to the two.
Shirogane Miyuki stood up. This time it was Uchiha Ryo's turn to stay in the living room without moving.
"Leave for what? The house is not bad! Stay for a few days to try it out. If it's okay, just move directly next week."
"But that..."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Aren't you a materialist? It's probably a coincidence. Stay with peace of mind for a few days. If there's no problem, move here next week. I think this house is pretty good too."
Takashi also showed a smile. He roughly guessed Brother Ryo's thoughts. Since this house has a problem, then just solve it.
Even if Shirogane Miyuki doesn't rent it, someone else will eventually move in. Rather than letting the yokai dolls hurt others, it's better to clean them up today.
"Rest assured, the two of us and Nyanko-sensei will stay. There won't be any problem with three men, right?"
Finding that Uchiha Ryo didn't look scared at all, Shirogane Miyuki also gradually calmed down.
"I'm going to cook... Let's have omurice tonight." Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath to calm himself down, then picked up the groceries he had bought in advance and walked towards the kitchen.
When only the two of them were left in the living room, Takashi finally looked down at Nyanko-sensei.
"Did Nyanko-sensei discover anything?"
Nyanko-sensei licked his paw. "Of course I did. Although they are not very aggressive towards ordinary people, I guarantee you will definitely be attacked tonight."
"Eh?!" Takashi subconsciously looked up at the second floor, but then remembered the dolls had disappeared, so he looked at the dusk outside the window.
"Generally speaking, yokai born from this kind of curse are monsters with low intelligence. For them, humans with massive innate demonic energy like you, Takashi, are delicious delicacies."
Takashi asked with some concern. "Then Nyanko-sensei will take action to deal with them, right?"
"Mmhmm~ I've been wanting to eat cantaloupe recently, and shrimp tempura!"
Uchiha Ryo picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Leave it to me. You and Shirogane just stay here with peace of mind."
"Hey! You brat! Don't interrupt my deal, and you can't make a move, leave it to me!" Nyanko-sensei jumped up and stood on the low table, his face full of displeasure.
"Why can't I make a move? It's just mere dolls. You simply want to eat cantaloupe and fried shrimp, don't you..."
Nyanko-sensei snorted lightly. "Those born from curses are basically possessing yokai, and possessing yokai are basically minor yokai. Just pull them out and then they'll be purified by me."
"But if you make a move... do you want to cause destruction!"
Uchiha Ryo imagined his highly destructive ninjutsu. The ones without physical damage would probably only be genjutsu, but it's hard to say if that kind of incorporeal possessing yokai can be hit.
"I'll absolutely be fine. Just burn the dolls with fire in one breath, and then repair the house."
Anyway, with the ability to rewrite reality, even if Uchiha Ryo blew up the house, he could restore it in an instant.
Nyanko-sensei curled his lip. "Too troublesome, let me do it!"
"Letting you do it still requires buying cantaloupe, what a greedy Nyanko-sensei!"
"An exorcism fee of only one cantaloupe is already very cheap, okay! The money those swindlers outside charge for casting a spell once is enough to buy a whole box."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Then let's compete to see who finds the Two Dolls first?"
Nyanko-sensei narrowed his eyes. "Hunting the Two Dolls huh! An interesting after-dinner exercise... Takashi! If I solve it, don't forget my cantaloupe."
Takashi smiled. "Yes, yes, do your best, you two."
Although they didn't know where the dolls upstairs went, but... they are the prey and we are the hunters!!
Dinner was Shirogane Miyuki's special omurice, and the taste could be considered not bad! At least besides himself, Shirogane Miyuki should be one of the boys who is best at cooking in Shuchiin.
"I remember there's a Chef Competition event at the Hoshin Festival, right?"
Uchiha Ryo suddenly said.
Shirogane Miyuki thought for a moment. "Oh, that was proposed by the Cooking Research Club. I heard the prize is a free invitation ticket to any three-star restaurant in the country, and a bunch of expensive ingredients to choose from at will."
"Are you going to participate?"
Shirogane Miyuki fell into deep thought. If Uchiha Ryo didn't ask, he almost forgot that as the president, although he had many things to do, participating in an event was still no problem...
The Hoshin Festival is in December, which happens to be when the family has a holiday, so they can go out together to eat three-star cuisine.
"What about Uchiha?" Shirogane Miyuki thought of Uchiha Ryo in cooking class. His level was not inferior to his own at all, and perhaps even stronger!
"I'm not participating. After all, I have to take my sister out to play then. But the president can apply for me to be a taster, and I'll be responsible for scoring."
Bringing Shirosaki Hana along, he naturally couldn't participate, but there's nothing wrong with going to mooch food and drinks.
After dinner, the sensible poor child Shirogane Miyuki took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the gentle Takashi also went to the kitchen to help. Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo and Nyanko-sensei in the living room looked at each other and suddenly walked towards the entryway.
Rustling sounds came from the yard. Was it the sound of the wind blowing the grass? Or was something walking on the grass.
Opening the main gate and coming to the outside yard, in that unkempt patch of grass, a tall and thin figure vaguely appeared.
.....
Someone once said that the more something looks like a human, the easier it is to be influenced by human spirit. This might be a kind of belief, or perhaps a kind of curse.
Obviously, the Two Dolls are this kind of yokai born from human curses. From the moment they were born, they were full of resentment towards everything, resenting why they couldn't become perfect dolls.
This resentment caused them to trap themselves in this house and curse everyone who entered it.
And the night is the time for them to act! The exquisite doll stood up from the grass, its slender limbs moving and making clicking sounds.
It had already imagined the screams humans would let out when they saw it. This was something it understood from the moment it developed self-awareness, which is the emotion of human fear.
"Found you~" x2
The doll stiffly turned its head, only to see a person and a cat looking at it with a half-smile.
"Let me get rid of you! My cantaloupe!"
"Wood Style....."
