In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"I asked 2B to calculate the time using her computer. If we grill them at this time, you'll be able to enjoy the matsutake mushrooms and wagyu beef when you come back." Putting the matsutake mushrooms and beef on a plate, Haruno handed it to Kotoko.

"Didn't Ouyang tell you not to use 2B for such weird things?"

"It's a very reasonable use of the language to let Ouyang's third girlfriend candidate eat hot beef and mushrooms as soon as she enters the door. How can it be a weird thing?" Yang Nai said as a matter of course.

"The word 'alternate' is redundant."

There are only three people in the room now. Kotoko and Haruno are eating, and 2B, who can control the heat and the degree of grilling in microseconds, is working, faithfully fulfilling her duties as a dual-purpose android for housework and combat. 2B relies entirely on the extremely precise data in the computer to cook. It is all skill, without emotion.

Although the food is not very good, it is very delicious. At least the 2B grilled beef and matsutake are cooked to a great degree, and the aroma of the matsutake is fully stimulated, but it is not overcooked, and the overall texture of the mushroom is soft and tender. The Wagyu beef is just cooked through, and the taste is full of beef aroma and fat that melts in the mouth, but it is a bit greasy. You need to eat two pieces of meat and then a bite of matsutake to suppress the greasiness.

Of course, barbecue cannot have only two ingredients. Yang No only brought beef and matsutake mushrooms. Qinzi bought some vegetables and other meats, radishes, leeks, eggplants, and Rongrong, the fox demon's favorite chicken. Qinzi also bought two kinds, one is grilled chicken skewers, and the other is marinated chicken slices specially for barbecue.

Yang No and Qinzi feasted for a while and felt their stomachs were only three-quarters full when the door of Ouyang Xuan's room was pushed open, and Rongrong and Ouyang Xuan walked out.

"Wow, Rongrong's ears really can't be seen!" Yang Nai exclaimed.

"I can't even sense the breath of monsters." Kotoko said with a piece of matsutake in her mouth.

"The computer determined that Rongrong is—human?"

Rongrong walked out with Ouyang Sun. Her hair was still the same emerald green as before, but the brown furry ears hanging on both sides of her ears were gone. Rongrong looked like an ordinary human girl.

"I really can't see it at all. Not just invisible, it's really gone."

"Ouyang's magic is really powerful. If it can be promoted, can it make it easier for monsters to integrate into human society?" Qinzi saw another use of Ouyang Falcon's magic, and then looked at Ouyang Falcon excitedly.

"No, it will take me an hour just to draw a talisman on her body." Ouyang Jun rejected Qinzi's idea.

"Yes, if it was so easy to do, someone among the monsters would have learned it long ago."

"Sister Yang No, please don't rub my ears..."

The ears of the human being that had just transformed were very sensitive. When Yang Nai was curiously touching her, Rongrong trembled slightly in discomfort.

"Okay, okay." Yang Nai let go of Rongrong's ear, which had turned red from being rubbed by her, and pulled Rongrong to sit at the table. "We have prepared a big meal, and we have Rongrong's favorite chicken skewers."

"Chicken skewers." When Rongrong heard that it was delicious, her eyes lit up. She was very different from the big monster who was strategizing in another timeline. She was a little foodie.

The chicken slices that Qinzi brought were not baked yet, so Rongrong, who was already hungry, used the ready-made chicken skewers to satisfy her craving. However, while eating, her eyes were still fixed on the chicken slices in the electric oven that were turned over from time to time under the clamps of 2B.

Yang Nai pulled Rongrong to sit down, and Ouyang Jun was also pulled to sit down by Qinzi. He sat in a seat that Yang Nai and Qinzi had reserved in advance. Because the space was a bit small, Qinzi and Yang Nai's bodies were mostly pressed against Ouyang Jun's body. Ouyang Jun felt that his butt was not completely sitting on the chair.

"Boss, I'm here."

Just as the group sat down, the door was opened again. It was Yang Cai, who had just returned from Hokkaido and was called by Ouyang Xuan to the apartment for team building and dinner.

Unlike Haruna, whose skin has become a little wheat-colored due to the extremely scorching sun in Okinawa, Haruna's skin seems to have become even whiter under the softer sunlight in Hokkaido.

"Here, these are souvenirs." Yang Cai took out the specialties she bought from Hokkaido from her bag and distributed them to everyone present one by one. Ouyang Xuan got a small pendant with a Bagua pattern produced in his hometown. Yang Cai also prepared suitable souvenirs for others. As for Rongrong, who came here without her, Yang Cai did not forget to prepare one for her as well.

"Hello, Rongrong. I'm Amano Haruna, the president's assistant." Although she was so much older than Rongrong, Haruna spoke like an older sister. "I also prepared a gift for Rongrong, ding ding!"

"What is this?" Rongrong looked at the small pendant in her hand with a confused look on her face.

"When we were at the souvenir shop, the president told me, Rongrong, you're a fox monster. I thought you and Tamamonomae are from the same clan, so I bought a nine-tailed fox pendant. It's super popular in Sapporo right now. I only managed to snatch this last one thanks to the hand speed I've trained with the president."

Looking at Yang Cai who was proudly standing with her hands on her hips, Rongrong didn't know what to do with the ugly pendant in her hand.

It was lying on the ground like a weasel, with its nine tails standing up like feather dusters. It looked more like a weasel playing with alphabet circles and stuffing something into the hole than the nine-tailed fox, a symbol of good fortune for the Shang Dynasty.

"It's said that this image originated from the fox demon of Tushan on the mainland. Isn't it super cute?"

"I...we are not that ugly!!"

"Eh!?"

When Hina heard that the ugly thing in her hand was actually the image of her family, and that although she was older than all the girls present, her mentality was still that of an ordinary little girl, she felt extremely aggrieved, her mouth pursed, and tears rolled in her eyes, as if she was about to break down and cry.

Before Rongrong was about to burst into tears, Kotoko, who was skilled in coaxing monsters, immediately went up to control Rongrong. Yang Nai quickly took away the ugly nine-tailed fox pendant from Rongrong's hand to prevent the child from seeing such a shocking thing. Yang Cai put her hands together and apologized to Rongrong, and gave Rongrong the steamed bun pendant that she had prepared for Nagi's ex-girlfriend. The three of them were in a panic for a while before they calmed Rongrong down.

However, although the three girls tried very hard, it was 2B who finally brought Rongrong back to her senses.

"We've been coaxing her for so long, but in the end, she's not even as good as a piece of meat from 2B." Yang Nai helplessly looked at Rongrong who was happily eating chicken.

"Well, as long as Rongrong is happy, that's all that matters." Qinzi was quite open-minded. "I wish the child of Ouyang and I in the future could be as cute as Rongrong."

"Of course, of course. We can even have a cute mixed-race baby by then."

"Will there be any difference between the children born to two East Asians?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

"This is a kind of romance."

I feel so envious.

Looking at Yang Nao and Qinzi who were planning to have a child with Ouyang Jun, Yang Na felt a little envious, but at that time she didn't know what this envy meant, she just felt that this warm feeling was very good.

"By the way, today is the 26th. Have you finished your homework?"

As soon as Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, the table, which was bustling a second ago, suddenly became quiet. Yang Cai, who had finished her homework, was still happily eating Wagyu beef, which was a rare and precious ingredient for Yang Cai.

"Come, Ouyang, try this. This is the radish that Qinzi bought. It tastes delicious when roasted." Yang Nai picked up some food for Ouyang Jun.

"The matsutake mushrooms that Yang Nai brought from home are also very good. You can tell they are high-end matsutake mushrooms as soon as you taste them." Qinzi also picked up some food for Ouyang Jun.

"Europe.."

"Don't use 2B, don't let 2B help." Ouyang Jun interrupted Yang Nai's words in advance.

"How can you do this..." Yang Noi's mouth suddenly pursed, "I've been asking 2B to help me with my homework recently. Now that you don't let 2B help me with my homework, I don't know how to do it anymore."

"I can pay for your renovations." Ouyang Xuan said while eating Wagyu beef.

"Besides, with your intelligence, it's just a report. Shouldn't you finish it in two nights?"

"Hmph, how can we waste precious time making Ouyang pay his taxes on writing a report!" Yang Nai righteously said, "Even if I have to write one, I have to let Ouyang attack me while I write!"

"2B." Ouyang Sun turned to 2B, who was grilling seriously, and said, "Starting tomorrow, if Yang No hasn't finished her report, she's not allowed to stay here tonight. You have to send her home."

"Yes." 2B will faithfully carry out Ouyang Falcon's orders.

Knowing that she couldn't beat Ouyang Xuan, Yang Nai could only bite the chopsticks in frustration, squeezing the wooden chopsticks in the middle with her two rows of teeth, as if she could squeeze out some flavor from the chopsticks, maybe the smell of the Wagyu beef left on them.

While biting his chopsticks, Yang Nai looked at Ouyang Falcon with resentment. How could he, a young man full of blood and vigor, just say he wanted to fight or not? Was it because of my lack of physical strength?

"I remember you weren't studying liberal arts, Kotoko? How come you haven't finished your report yet?"

"You know, Ouyang," Qinzi said frankly, "My work has kept me busy. This summer vacation, I went to Hokkaido and was busy until a few days ago. As soon as I came back, you, Ouyang, asked me to help you. How could I have the time to write the report? I'm going to pull several all-nighters to finish it."

"I see..." Ouyang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm from the philosophy department, so I can help you a little. How about this, I'll write it with you."

"Really!" Qinzi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay, okay, Ouyang, are you coming to my house to spend the night? Is the life blocker ready? Ah, I haven't even prepared my winning underwear!"

"I'm not going to your house." Ouyang Xuan shattered Qinzi's fantasy. "People tend to become lazy subconsciously in a familiar environment and find all kinds of excuses for being lazy. Bring your computer to my apartment tomorrow and write. There's plenty of space in the living room."

"Since we don't want to go to the living room, how about we go to Ouyang's room?"

"My room is for Rongrong now. It's not suitable. Let's use the living room."

"Okay, no problem. I will quickly turn the Ouyang family's living room into a familiar environment for me! Even if it's our first time in the living room, as long as Ouyang wants it, I can give it to him anywhere!"

Rongrong looked at the excited Qinzi strangely, not knowing why Qinzi suddenly stood up and shouted. Although Tushan's education had the emotional aspect, it did not have the desire aspect. It was normal for Qinzi and the others to say anything more, so she could eat with peace of mind.

"How can you be so biased!"

Yang Nai hugged Ouyang Xuan's arm and pulled him into her arms, very dissatisfied with Qinzi's escape.

"I also want to write a report with Ouyang!"

"Yang Nai." Ouyang Xuan stood up from where he could only see half of the sky. "I don't know how to report on your science."

Ouyang Xuan's words were very concise and clear. It was not that he did not want to help Yang Nai, but he really did not know how to do it. There was a huge gap between the humanities and sciences. Ouyang Xuan was even in the philosophy department of Shankara, the most remote department in the humanities. There was already a thick wall between him and Yang Nai.

"Then you can come to my apartment and write together. If we write together, we might be more efficient."

Seeing that Yang Nai's dissatisfaction was almost visible to the naked eye, Ouyang Xuan thought of a compromise and decided that everyone should come together to write in the living room of the apartment.

"Okay, okay, I'll bring some stuff to Ouyang's apartment to write tomorrow."

"I'll come too. With Ouyang's help, I'm sure I can finish the report in two days."

Although they were talking about the thesis, there seemed to be some additional purpose hidden in the tone of Haruno and Kotoko. Although Haruno had been eating beef, she had not eaten meat for several days because of Rongrong's anger. Kotoko, who had never eaten meat, was also fantasizing about whether she could eat meat in the next few days, and was happily eating Wagyu beef.

Just as the two girls were happily making plans for the next few days, Hina timidly raised her hand.

"Boss, you might not have time these days. You have to go on missions. I went to Hokkaido and you went to Okinawa, so all the commissions have been pushed to these few days."

"Eh!?"

"I've already placed an order for the winning bra! How could Ouyang not have time?"

Chapter 10: My beloved Shizuku was taken away

At night, in a public market on the outskirts of Tokyo, it was gloomy and without any extra light. There was only the half moon hanging in the sky and the lanterns in Ouyang Sun and Yang Cai's hands.

"President, can't we come again during the day?" Although the surroundings were very quiet, Hina felt that her heartbeat was very loud. Although she had seen many monsters and evil spirits, they were all single monsters. Hina still felt that she was not used to seeing the field magic cards running to the cemetery in the middle of the night.

"Except for some earth-bound spirits, most ghosts and evil spirits won't come out during the day. If we want to find that scary evil spirit, we have to come at night."

"Besides, we're not the only ones here."

"What!?" Although Hina had been through many battles, she wasn't too frightened. She just looked around cautiously. "I've already opened my eyes, but I didn't see any ghosts. Could it be that this time the ghost is invisible even to me?"

"Who said a ghost appeared?"

"Boss, didn't you say we weren't the only ones here?"

"Yes, look."

Yang Cai looked in the direction of Ouyang Sun's finger and saw a light swaying in the forest. It was very bright, and looked like a flashlight. It was still flickering and floating towards her.

"President! A ghost has appeared! Fire now!"

"Hello! Are you here for the live broadcast as well?"

Amidst Hina's shouts and screams, a girl in a windbreaker emerged from the woods. The flashlight-like light that Hina had just seen was emitted from her flashlight.

The girl was carrying a mountaineering bag and holding a selfie stick in her hand, and seemed to be live streaming in this public offering.

"Did you guys also come here to broadcast after hearing about that ghostly urban legend? What a coincidence! Should we join together? I was completely lost."

"Saten-kun?"

When Ruiko came out waving the flashlight and her eyes adjusted to the light, Hina realized that the girl who came out of the woods was actually her classmate Ruiko Saten.

"Eh?" Hearing her name called from the other side, Ruizi turned off the flashlight and looked over. It was indeed a familiar face. "Amano-san, I haven't seen you all summer. How are you?"

"This doesn't look like a good place to ask questions, does it? It's dangerous for a girl like you to come here alone at night."

"Don't worry, I'm armed." Lei Zi took out a stun gun from her bag. This was the weapon she was talking about.

"This summer, Chuchun and I met someone from a young lady's school through her friend's introduction. We hung out with them every day and didn't have time to explore urban legends. This time, I'm going to uncover the urban legend of the white-clad female ghost in the cemetery, and I've made comprehensive preparations."

"So what are you doing now?" Hina looked at the selfie stick in Ruiko's hand in confusion.

"Besides, don't ghosts usually only attack people who are alone? I looked for Hatsuharu but didn't have time, and my other friends didn't care about urban legends. So I came up with a great idea. If I start a live broadcast, wouldn't I have a bunch of people with me? That way, ghosts won't dare to attack me, and I'll be safe."

It seemed that she felt that her idea was so brilliant that it could reach the limit of heaven and earth. Lei Zi put her hands on her hips and felt very good about herself.

"But..." Haruna was wondering whether she should bring this up. "But if there's a crowd, ghosts won't attack you, Saten-kun. Then you won't be able to see ghosts, and how will you uncover the urban legend then?"

Lei Zi's smile froze on her face, and her hand, which was about to make a "yeah" sign in front of the camera, froze in place. Then she silently took the phone off the selfie stick.

"That won't happen." Ouyang Xuan suddenly spoke.

"I just checked the recent live broadcast room and saw hers. There was no one in it. It's not like there's a situation where a bunch of people are watching and the ghosts don't dare to appear."

"Then I really have to thank you for reminding me, unknown brother." Lei Zi turned off the live broadcast with a forced smile, feeling like she had been shot dozens of times in the heart.

"Besides, whether you're live streaming or filming a movie, it won't affect the evil spirit's ability to kill you. It will just turn you into a magical girl in front of everyone in the audience."

"Huh." Lei Zi felt that Ouyang Falcon wasn't mocking her. "Brother, you seem to know a lot about ghosts, don't you?"

"I've seen it a lot."

"Oh, oh, oh." Lei Zi's eyes sparkled with a sparkle of discovery of a like-minded person. "So, you're also a fan of urban legends?"

"No."

"So you're a fan of the supernatural? Yeah, although urban legends didn't originate as early as the paranormal, many of the settings in the paranormal have been directly passed down to urban legends. So, in essence, you and I are the same enthusiasts."

"So~~" Ruizi drawled out, "Amano-san is here for a date with this guy? He's so unromantic that he chose to date in a cemetery with an urban legend."

"No way!" Feeling embarrassed, Hina quickly interrupted Ruiko, "This is my boss, the president of the company where I work!"
