Chapter 334 They are the prey, and we are the hunters.
"That's all I can say. If you don't want to rent anymore, it's best to leave as soon as possible..."
After the woman finished speaking, she took out a vacuum cleaner, mop and other tools from the first-floor cubicle and began cleaning inside and out.
Since the aunt had already cleaned it once yesterday, today's cleaning was just a matter of checking for any omissions or deficiencies, so she said goodbye and left in less than an hour.
Time quickly passed to six o'clock in the afternoon, and once again only Shirogane Miyuki and the other two remained in the room.
"Uh... I suddenly think the room Kei chose is pretty good too! Let's go back first!" Shirogane Miyuki's face was a little pale, and he suddenly raised his head and suggested to the two of them.
Shirogane Miyuki stood up, while Uchiha Ryo remained motionless in the living room.
"Why are you leaving? The house is nice! Stay for a few days and see how it goes. If you like it, you can move in next week."
"But that..."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Aren't you a materialist? It's probably just a coincidence. Stay here for a few days. If there are no problems, move in next week. I think this house is pretty good."
Natsume smiled; he had roughly guessed what Ling-ge was thinking. Since there was a problem with this house, let's just fix it.
Even if Shirogane Miyuki doesn't rent it out, someone will move in sooner or later. Rather than letting the monster dolls hurt others, it's better to get rid of them today.
"Don't worry, the two of us and Nyanko-sensei will stay. Three men shouldn't have any problems, right?"
Seeing that Uchiha Ryo didn't seem frightened at all, Shirogane Miyuki gradually calmed down as well.
"I'm going to cook... Let's have omelet rice tonight." Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath to calm himself down, then picked up the groceries he had bought in advance and headed to the kitchen.
When only the two of them were left in the living room, Natsume finally lowered his head and looked at Nyanko-sensei.
"What did Nyanko-sensei discover?"
The cat teacher licked his paws. "Of course I noticed. Although they're not very aggressive towards ordinary people, I guarantee you'll all be attacked tonight."
"Eh?!" Natsume subconsciously looked up at the second floor, but then remembered that the doll was gone, so he looked out the window at the twilight.
"Generally speaking, the monsters born from this kind of curse are low-IQ monsters. To them, a human like Natsume with naturally great demonic power is a delicious meal."
Natsume asked with some concern, "Won't Nyanko-sensei take action against it?"
"Hmm~ I'm craving cantaloupe lately, and tempura shrimp too!"
Uchiha Ryo picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Leave it to me. You and Shirogane can just stay here and relax."
"Hey! You brat! Don't interrupt my deal! And you can't do it yourself, leave it to me!" Nyanko-sensei jumped up and stood on the low table, looking very annoyed.
"Why can't I help? It's just a doll. You just want to eat cantaloupe and fried shrimp, right..."
The cat teacher gave a soft hum. "Curses are basically born from possessing monsters, and possessing monsters are mostly minor monsters. I just need to pull them out and purify them."
"But if you make a move... are you trying to cause trouble?!"
Uchiha Ryo imagined his powerful and destructive ninjutsu. The only one that didn't cause physical damage was probably genjutsu, but it was hard to say whether it would work on possessing monsters that didn't have a physical form.
"I'll be fine. I just need to burn the doll down in one go and then fix the house."
Since he has the ability to rewrite reality, even if Uchiha Rin blows up the house, he can restore it in an instant.
The cat teacher pouted. "Too much trouble, I'll do it!"
"You even have to buy cantaloupe after I brought you here, what a greedy cat teacher!"
"The cost of an exorcism is only one cantaloupe, which is already very cheap! Those scammers outside charge enough for a whole box of melons for just one spell."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Then let's see who finds the two-body puppet first?"
Nyanko-sensei narrowed his eyes. "Hunting two-body dolls, huh! Interesting after-dinner exercise... Natsume! If I finish them off, don't forget my cantaloupe."
Natsume smiled. "Yes, yes, you two do your best."
Although I don't know where the dolls upstairs went, they are the prey, and we are the hunters!
Dinner was Shirogane Miyuki's special omelet fried rice, which tasted pretty good! At least besides myself, Shirogane Miyuki is probably one of the best cooks among the boys at Shuchiin University.
"I remember there was a cooking competition during the Hōshin-shō festival, right?"
"Uchiha Ryo suddenly said."
Shirogane Miyuki thought for a moment. "Oh, it was proposed by the Culinary Research Department. I heard the prize is a free invitation to any three-star hotel nationwide, plus a bunch of expensive ingredients to choose from."
"Are you going to participate?"
Miyuki Shirogane fell into deep thought. Uchiha Ryo didn't ask; he'd almost forgotten that as the student council president, while he had many responsibilities, participating in an event was still perfectly acceptable...
The Hōshin-shō festival is in December, which is the perfect time to go out for a three-Michelin-starred meal with my family during the holidays.
"Where's Uchiha-kun?" Shirogane Miyuki thought of Uchiha Ryo in cooking class. His skill level was no less than his own, and perhaps even stronger!
"I won't participate, since I'll be taking my sister out to play. But I'd like the president to help me get a taster position; I'll be in charge of scoring."
He couldn't participate since he was with Shirasaki Hana, but it wouldn't hurt for him to go and freeload.
After dinner, the sensible poor boy, Shirogane Miyuki, took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the gentle Natsume followed him to the kitchen to help. Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo and Nyanko-sensei in the living room exchanged a glance and suddenly headed towards the entrance.
A rustling sound came from the yard. Was it the wind blowing through the grass? Or was something moving on the grass?
As I opened the gate and stepped into the yard, a tall, thin figure gradually appeared in the unkempt grass.
.....
It has been said that the more human-like something is, the more easily it is influenced by the human spirit. This may be a belief, or it may be a curse.
Clearly, the two-body dolls are monsters born from a human curse. From birth, they are filled with resentment towards everything, hating themselves for not being able to become perfect dolls.
This resentment trapped them in the house, and they cursed everyone who entered it.
Nighttime is when they make their move! The exquisite dolls rise from the grass, their slender limbs moving with a clicking sound.
It could already imagine the screams that humans would make when they saw it, something it had understood since it became self-aware—human fear.
"Found you~" x2
The doll stiffly turned its head, only to see a person and a cat looking at it with ambiguous smiles.
"Let me take care of you, my cantaloupe!"
"Wood Release..."
