…

[Although I know that Kuro has liked reading since he was a child, I didn't expect him to be so smart.]

Genichiro closed the old hunter's notes with a strange expression on his face. In front of him, all the foreign language books on Kuro's table were explained.

"What is this book about?" Genichiro saw a red lip painted on the cover and was worried that Kuro might read something unhealthy.

"Vampires." Jiulang said concisely and concisely, "It is something similar to a ghost in the imagination of the British."

"Is that so?"

Genichiro picked it up and flipped through it a few times, and there were only a few words he could recognize.

Dark, darkness.soul, soul.blood, blood source.elden, old man (mistake).ring, ring.

But considering that Genichiro's intelligence is less than 10 points, and he is still a weakling who can't even let the magician Obeck accept as a disciple, this seems to be acceptable.

He opened the old hunter's notebook, originally just wanting to see the current location of Cave Mountain, but he didn't expect that the people who appeared in the notebook actually had their own attribute panels.

The first thing Genichiro saw was Kuro's data, but he didn't expect that his intelligence was second only to Ubuyashiki Amane who had just appeared in the notebook.

And he has a physical constitution of 10 points, but his intelligence, which is as high as 12, is far from reaching the limit.

He even had Butterfly Ninja, a friend with an intelligence of 11, exerting influence around him, which gave him a little extra bonus.

"Look, there is an attributive postposition here. When you translate, remember to put this adjective, which I don't recognize, in front of the noun."

Currently, Butterfly Ninja is explaining to Genichiro how to translate several clauses in English to resolve the anger and disappointment caused by the statement an hour ago.

Since negative emotions cannot be resolved, we can only divert our attention.

Kuro, on the other hand, listened to the lecture humbly with a pen in hand, and understood every point. No knowledge point required Butterfly Ninja to repeat twice.

He even surpassed him in terms of vocabulary.

"The word is fabulous, which means great, magnificent, and refers to a person or thing that possesses a certain kind of beauty that cannot be described in words."

After Kuro pointed at the word and explained it, he looked at Butterfly Ninja's big purple eyes and said seriously: "I think Miss Butterfly Ninja is willing to risk her life to do these things for ordinary people. This word can be used to describe her."

Swish.

Butterfly Ninja's face suddenly turned red from the base of his neck, as if he had eaten a big spoonful of hot pot base.

Originally, because this child's temperament was very similar to that of the Lord, I felt very nervous sitting next to him.

As a result, he actually said such things!

"Miss Shinobu, are you okay?"

Seeing her like this, Jiuro asked with concern.

"Well, today, let's just come here first."

Butterfly stood up reluctantly, and while walking hurriedly outside, he explained in a panic: "My eyes are a little sleepy. Let's go see the carp for a while! I'll come back later."

Then the paper door closed with a click, leaving only the faint scent of wisteria spreading in the room.

Kuro was stunned for a while, then looked at Genichiro who was looking at him with meaningful eyes: "Brother, did I say the wrong thing and make her unhappy? I always feel that Miss Shinobu doesn't look good."

【No, I think you are good at it.】

However, looking at Kuro's clear eyes, the words Genichiro wanted to complain about were stuck in his throat, and it took him a while to express his opinion.

"That child is very sensitive to his own shortcomings and cannot see the excellence in himself, so he is not able to cope with other people's praise. Next time you want to say something to praise, you can be more tactful."

Kuro suddenly understood and nodded, his expression full of understanding.

"Miss Shinobu must have had a very difficult past."

【……】

【I'm working very hard too! I didn't see you understanding me back then!】

What's this faint jealousy about?

"Speak of it, Kuro."

Genichiro picked up the hot water and covered up the meridians that appeared on his face.

"If you are here and don't have anyone of your own age to talk and play with, will you feel lonely?"

Seeing that Kuro was about to speak without thinking, Genichiro emphasized again: "I'm not just talking to you anymore, I want to tell the truth."

Jiulang looked slightly startled and thought for a while before nodding.

Before the Butterfly Ninja arrived, the only peers around Kuro were Kotaro, Warabihime, and Kikuyiki.

Kotaro is not very smart, he is almost like a five or six year old child, and anything can make him happy for a while.

Ms. Warabihime is very emotional and always wants to dress up as a girl. She can only memorize poems and haiku by rote, and her secrets will be revealed immediately after a few words of conversation.

Kikuhiki (Warabihime's maid) was sold here since she was a child. She has no knowledge and can only talk about food and clothing, or complain about how hard it is to serve Lady Warabihime...

But what Kuro wants is a friend like Mr. Akutagawa or Miss Shinobu who has similar hobbies and can communicate with him on an equal footing.

If the topics to be discussed stay at the surface level such as food and clothing, he will feel a little bored and can only rely on reading to relieve his boredom.

That feeling was no different from when I was detained by Genichiro.

"In that case, do you want to go to school?"

Genichiro suggested, and by the way, he told Kuro about what he had seen and heard about various schools outside recently, "It will make you feel better if you stay with a large group of peers."

No, I don't want that kind of peers.

Jiulang revealed his half-moon eyes, with a trace of complaint in his eyes.

"Then I wonder if the peers my brother mentioned are 8 years old or 11 years old?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Genichiro accidentally choked on the water, and then said apologetically: "There is nothing we can do about it. I knew the people from the Demon Slayer Squad when I first came here. At that time, I was almost the same as you now.

Gao, I can only say that he is nine years old. As a younger brother, you can't be older than me."

"By the way, as an apology for wronging you..."

Genichiro's eyes lit up, and he extracted Taro Kaki from the system and placed it on the desktop.

"This is a Taro persimmon that has no side effects. After eating it, your body will grow one year older. If you care about your height, age, etc., just eat this."

"Brother, that's not what I care about."

Genichiro shook his head helplessly, "I just don't want to be treated like such a young child."

"Besides, I don't have the need to fight ghosts, and I'm not in a hurry to grow up or anything. It's better for you to eat it yourself, so that I can rest assured while you are outside."

Genichiro shook his head.

"A person can only eat this once a year, and I've already eaten it."

At this time, there was a gentle knocking sound outside the door.

Then a voice said: "Sir Genichiro, Aneshan has returned."

"I see."

Genichiro stood up and said, "I will discuss the next plan with them now. If you take this persimmon out and don't eat it, it will go bad in a few days. I have given you something. Do you want to eat it yourself or give it to others?

Just make up your own mind."

"Wait, brother."

Jiulang stopped him, with a look of doubt in his eyes, "Why don't I come with you for this discussion?"

Genichiro was startled when he heard this, remembering that during the last meeting, Kuro advised him not to commit murder.

【This child is still a little worried about me.】

In order for Ashina to integrate into this world, he listened to Kuro's advice last time and did not sacrifice the Japanese.

In the end, Sase Shinichi operated on a few foreigners who didn't look like them, and this gave Ashina Chicken a reputation.

It's just that this meeting involves using the ghost king's blood to experiment on humans, and Genichiro really doesn't want him to participate.

"Since a guest has come, there must be a host to receive her, otherwise it would be too rude."

Genichiro took out a large handful of coins with a face value of 20 yen. There were at least three or four thousand yen coins piled on the table, which was enough to buy a small shop.

"When it gets dark and busy outside, you and Kotaro, take Miss Shinobu for a walk on the street."

"With her character, if a ghost appears on the bank of the Rashomon River, she will definitely go there to investigate. Remind her not to bring a knife, wear your clothes and pretend to be a boy. As for killing ghosts, I will go with her at night
