Simple Life of Killing Demons_V4C11

Encounter in the supermarket, the guy with mask, feeding

"See you tomorrow, Satsuki." I said goodbye to Satsuki when I stood in front of her doorstep.

"Dont you want to come in and sit for a while?

Theres no need.

"Reallysee you tomorrow then." Satsuki looked at me sadly and I felt a bit strange. Whatd happened to Satsuki? Was it because of that dream?

After watching Satsuki opening her door and walking in, I turned away and went to the supermarket.

Inside the supermarket.

Oh~~~isnt this the friend of Risa, Xiao Xiang? I was picking up some food and I suddenly heard someone calling me. When I turned around, I saw a beautiful woman standing in front me with a basket in her hand. That woman looked a bit like Satsuki. I remember that shes her mother.

Hi, Auntie.

You still remember me, that makes me so happy. Do you do grocery shopping all the time alone?

"Yeah, there is no one else at home, Im the only one, so

Thats really something, since you can manage yourself all alone. Risas dad and I always have to go on business trips and we arent always at home Satsukis mother winked at me as if she had something else to say.

Reallybut I want to ask, why dont have you have a housekeeper or a guard? Its because you have such a big house. Arent you afraid of a burglar or thief? Satsukis house is so big, I think she must be from a big family. Itd be strange if she didnt have a guard

Well, actually, I am not really a fan of guards. Theyre quite a trouble and they also cost money. Also, although our house is big, our parents left it for us and we have also been working for other people all along. Although we have a decent income, we arent that rich. Usually, burglars and thieves would look for richer families. Our home is actually quite safe. Afterwards, Satsukis mother walked near me and picked up food with me.

I see.

By the way, Xiao Xiang, how come you dont look for Risa during weekends? It seems that theres something wrong with her, as she looks sad without you

Really? WellIm quite busy during weekends. Is it because of that dream?

"Wellyou need to spend some time with Risa when youre not as busy. Otherwise, shell get too lonely. When high school just started, she still had some friends whod hang out with her. Then, she started having less friends, and it was just the same situation during middle school. When her mom mentioned that, I recalled about it. When school just started, there were a few girls accompanying Satsuki to go shopping, but they had all disappeared afterwards. What is this all about?

This is a human beings negative emotion, and thats jealousy. Freed suddenly interrupted.

What, what does that mean?

The human girl, Satsuki is quite pretty, right? So, if ordinary-looking girls hang out with her, they would feel belittled, right?

Weird. Why would they feel like that? Isnt Takahashi quite awesome as well? Arent I also hanging out with him?

Youre a guy, its different. Women are a different species. Theyre even more complicated than spirits who can appear in different forms. A guy might fight with a guy, but they might become best friends the next moment. However, if girls fight, they might still argue when they see each other again 30 years laterthis is the difference between men and women.

Then, the girls left Satsuki because shes too pretty. Is that what you mean?

Yes.

Girls are too scary

In fact, they arent. There are also many advantages in girls, theyre more caring and kinder, they have all the features that guys dont have.

Yes, yes, like big tits!

Dont you interrupt! You pervert. Ok, lets stop here. Ill let you talk with your Auntie, you might get to know more about women.

Wait, I still have some questions

Xiao Xiang, whats happened to you? Why do you look so thoughtful? Satsukis mother got close to me, she looked really like Satsuki. I suddenly thought of the kiss of Satsuki that afternoon

Nonothing. I will spend more time with her.

Oh? Why are you blushing? Have you just thought of anything that made you embarrassed? Anyway, treat Risa better, shes a kind and beautiful kid.

I will. Oh, by the way, whats your job, Auntie?

Me? I and Risas dad work for TCQ.

"Oh? Is that the company making very outstanding magical equipment?

"Yeah. Satsukis dad and I often have to go on business tripsthats why we dont have much time for her.

Youre all working hard to earn a living. So, theres no other way.

Yeah, we do it for our living. However, weve been returning home more often lately. Although work is important, our daughter is still more important. No matter how hard you work, if you lose your kids, all will be worth nothing. Right?

Actually Satsukis parents really loved herits so nice to have parents

Hey, this is such a nice potato. Satsukis mom picked up a potato and told me.

It looks okayit seems to be sprouting, so wed better not pick this one.

Oh? It seems that you know quite a lot. Thats great, as it looks like Satsuki has found a handy friend.

After stepping out of the supermarket and saying goodbye to Satsukis mother, I started heading home.

There were so many people on the streets and everyone was either selling or buying. Its such a lively atmosphereat this moment, a man whos wearing a mask and wearing black clothes passed by me. I looked at him and found him strange, how would a person wear a mask when its summer

I shook my head. This strange guy had nothing for me to look at. Then, I started moving forward

After about 10 seconds, there was a voice behind me, theres a thief! Who can help me?!

I turned around and saw a woman about 100 meters away from me trying to get up on the ground, she was chasing behind the man with mask whos running toward me

Oh~~~No wonder this guy looked so suspiciousso hes a thief then?

That guy over there, are you just going to watch him run? He just passed by and all you need to do is to pull himis anyone else willing to help?

I was ready to attack and I looked at the man with mask whos getting nearer

30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters

Pa (sound of wooden sword hitting on the body)

Ah~~~ The man with mask screamed in pain. And he started rolling on the ground.

The one hitting was a girl from the Pillar Nofu Academy. Judging from her tie, she seemed to be from the second grade

How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight? Arent you afraid to hurt your parents? The girl said loudly and she was tightly gripping her wooden sword.

Who told you to interfere? The man in mask stood up. He took out a telescopic titanium swordcould that be a combat technician? Hes not to be underestimatedhe could be a fifth-level warrior. What about that girl? Could she be a warrior as well? She looked just one level lower than him
