This demon is highly suspicious.

"Ha, fallen angel."

These two are still the same.

Seeing Rorschach and Gabriel locked in a fierce confrontation, Winette gave an awkward but polite smile.

Honestly, she's almost gotten used to the two of them.

These two seem uncomfortable if they don't argue every day.

What are those two doing now?

With her head tilted, Satania, who had just entered the classroom, looked at Rorschach and Gabriel with some confusion.

She couldn't quite grasp what had just happened.

Besides, Satania had no intention of investigating something that happened two or three times a day.

Just as the two were at loggerheads, Takashi Natsume arrived.

“Um, Luo Xia…”

After exchanging a few quiet words, Luo Xia and Natsume Takashi left the classroom.

Behind them, Gabriel stared speechlessly at the two people's backs.

Does he think I can't hear him?

To be honest, whispering at such close range is no different from normal conversation for Gabriel.

There was absolutely no need for you to whisper like that.

"Ha ha........."

With an awkward yet polite smile on her face, Winette said she didn't want to say anything.

On the rooftop, the cat teacher, with a serious expression, looked at Luo Xia.

The person and the cat stared at each other for a long time, and then...

"Rorschach, I'm out of alcohol."

"Oh!"

"At a time like this, please get down to business, Nyanko-sensei."

Natsume Takashi said irritably, "I punched Nyanko-sensei on the head."

It was clearly Nyanko-sensei who said he had something important to discuss with Rorschach.

So this is what you meant by important?

"Well, don't get excited, Natsume."

"Wave your front paws," the cat teacher said calmly.

“I had a feeling that a very powerful person had come here.”

"It seems to be a monster princess or something."

Although she is a princess of monsters, Nyanko-sensei did not show any sense of awe in her words.

It's as if you're talking about an ordinary person.

"A monster princess?"

Before Luo Xia could speak, Natsume Takashi behind him raised a question.

In fact, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a claim.

Do monsters have princesses?

"Well, but there's no need to worry about it too much."

The cat teacher yawned and said nonchalantly.

"Although she is said to be a princess of monsters, this only applies to monsters of average strength and those who are relatively weak."

"Essentially, they were just chosen by some weaker monsters for self-preservation."

"The great demons all had rather ambiguous attitudes toward this demon princess."

"They either ignore it or they observe."

"There are also a few who harbor malicious intent."

When talking about certain monsters, Nyanko-sensei's words were full of disdain and contempt.

It had no objection to weak monsters.

But it looked down on these monsters.

They actually need a human little girl to protect them.

These guys probably took advantage of the fact that humans have short lifespans and that so-called monster princesses are replaced in less than a hundred years.

It's ridiculous.

After settling into a more comfortable position, the cat teacher continued:

“These things originally had nothing to do with you, but yesterday that monster princess seemed to have gone to the shrine you asked me to inquire about.”

At this point, Nyanko-sensei gave Rorschach a meaningful look.

'You devilish boy, you know what I mean, right?'

'I understand.'

Three bottles!

"My treat, five bottles!"

'Okay! It's a deal!'

The two exchanged glances in mid-air.

After that, Nyanko-sensei had a better impression of Rorschach.

Sure enough, this child is definitely a devil.

What a kind child.

"That's what Nyanko-sensei remarked."

If it were those unscrupulous angels, they would already be trying to squeeze it dry.

“Luo Xia, classmate.”

Takashi Natsume looked at Rorschach with some concern.

I have a feeling that things are getting complicated.

And then a monster princess I'd never heard of before appeared.

Takashi Natsume couldn't help but think of himself, or more precisely, his Book of Friends.

What is the attitude of that monster princess towards the Book of Friends?

Takashi Natsume didn't know.

I have a very worrying feeling about the future.

However, he will not back down on the matter of the Book of Friends.

Because this was something left by Reiko's grandmother, he wouldn't give it to anyone casually.

Even the so-called monster princess is the same.

Furthermore, he had already made an agreement with Nyanko-sensei that the Book of Friends would be given to Nyanko-sensei after his death.

Thinking of this, Takashi Natsume's eyes softened.

With the Book of Friends, Nyanko-sensei won't be too lonely after I die.

Well, after all, Nyanko-sensei is just naturally a lively person.

"Relax, Natsume, this is nothing to me."

"Give me two thumbs up," Luo Xia said confidently.

He wasn't worried about crashing.

When others crash and burn, they're finished; when he crashes, he's sent back to the underworld.

The problem is not big.

Consider it a trip home.

It doesn't matter at all.

"Ok."

Seeing Luo Xia's nonchalant attitude, Natsume Takashi had no choice but to trust him.

Based on what we've seen so far, Luo Xia seems pretty reliable... right?

Thinking of Luo Xia's usual appearance, Natsume Takashi suddenly became a little uncertain.

It should be fairly reliable, right?

Takashi Natsume could not confirm this.

the other side--

"Going to the shrine?"

Yurikawa looked at Yotsuya Miko with some surprise.

I saw that Zi had indeed been paying attention to things related to exorcism and spirit removal for a while.

But I've gradually stopped paying attention to it lately, so why is it being brought up again today?

Yuri Kawana said she didn't understand.

"Yes, the kid next door told me before that he wanted to go see it and asked me to come along."

Nodding, Miko Yotsuya said.

In fact, going to the shrine was not her own idea, but the idea of ​​the neighbor's child.
