I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma pondered for a while and felt that it was useless to just think about it, so he said to Miss Akanishi in front of him: "Thank you for the information. I will notify you as soon as I have the results."

After that, he picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank all the tea in it - after listening to Miss Akanishi talking for so long, the tea was no longer hot.

"Then, I won't disturb Miss Akanishi's rest." He said and stood up.

"You walk slowly." Miss Akanishi quickly stood up, "Please give justice to Watanabe-kun and Oda-kun."

"I will. I mean, if there's something really unfair happening, I'm going to correct it."

After Kazuma finished speaking, he led Seiryu out of the room.

Akanishi Kaede kept looking at Kazuma's back with a complicated expression.

After leaving Akashi Kaede's room, Qingliu couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think? What is the truth?"

"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, who can know the truth at once. No, Holmes can't always know the truth at once. The description in the novel is that from time to time he has to smoke a pipe in the living room all night before he can think of the truth, and occasionally he will drink some* *because."

"Who cares what happens in novels." Qingliu waved his hand, "Didn't you already go to the shrine to investigate? Plus this person's testimony..."

"This is far from enough. Next, I'm going to ask Tamamo to see what she thinks of this legend of the demon fox."

Qingliu frowned: "Is that legend related to this case?"

"Maybe."

Seiryu: "Speaking of which, when I heard Akanishi-san tell this story, I had a creepy feeling."

"What, are you afraid of having nightmares tonight? Then you can come to my room to sleep."

"Go to hell!" Seiryu kicked Kazuma unceremoniously, and was naturally dodged.

Kazuma met Tamamo who was drinking milk outside the bathhouse.

As soon as she saw Kazuma, she asked, "You wouldn't just go and ask the new residents about last year, right?"

"One of the new residents came to us. Are they still in there?"

"Yeah, my hair is relatively easy to wash and doesn't require much care. They are still tossing conditioner in it."

Kazuma glanced at the clock on the wall: "This has been going on for so long!"

"That's what girls are like." Tamamo smiled, and then changed the topic, "So, is there anything new?"

"Yes, yes." Kazuma sat down on the chair opposite Tamamo and briefly explained what he had just learned from Kaede Akanishi.

Tamamo tapped the milk bottle in her hand with her fingers, with a thoughtful expression on her face: "Have you ever seen a white-haired demon fox take away a neighbor's child? This is interesting. As far as I know, there are no legendary demon foxes in various places like this. DIY.

"In the legend of the demon fox, apart from Tamamo-mae, the more widely circulated one is that it uses magic to transform into a house in the wilderness, waits for travelers to come and stay, and then serves delicious food turned from leaves to entertain the guests."

Qingliu: "Then you eat people?"

Kazuma shook his head: "No, it's usually the guests who fall asleep after the clouds and rain. When they wake up the next day, they find themselves sleeping in the deep mountains and old forests, and the quilt covering them is made of leaves."

Qingliu: "You did all this just to sleep with the traveler? Isn't this demon fox too horny and dissatisfied?"

Tamamo: "Those are the unfashionable demon foxes from the countryside."

Kazuma looked at Tamamo and said, "What will the great demon fox who lives in a human city do? Become a mama-san?"

"The big demon fox living in a big human city doesn't have that kind of primitive impulse, and it doesn't spring like a wild beast."

Qingliu looked at Tamamo suspiciously: "Why are you so sure? You are not a demon fox. How do you know?"

Kazuma started to cheer: "Yes, how did you know?"

Tamamo brought the topic back to the topic with a smile: "Let me summarize: After getting the information from Grandma Noda, Watanabe-kun went to the shrine to learn about the relevant legends. When he came back, he became serious and looked like he was worried.

"Miss Akanishi Kaede was very worried, so she sent Oda-kun to comfort him. As a result, the two of them became serious and refused to tell Miss Akanishi what happened."

Kazuma nodded: "Yes, and then an incident happened the next day. Watanabe-kun died, and Oda-kun entered a vegetative state."

Tamamo: "Then Miss Akanishi suspected that it was the shrine's master who silenced him. But in that case, Oda-kun is not dead. This silencing was too unprofessional, right?"

Qingliu: "Maybe it was the first time I did something like this. After doing it, I ran away in a hurry without confirming whether the two people were alive or dead. This kind of thing should be quite common."

"But today Tamamo and I went to the shrine, and the shrine master also suspected that Watanabe-kun committed suicide." Kazuma paused, "It is also possible that the shrine master told Watanabe-kun some secrets involving a third party when we were at the shrine, and then He was silenced by a third party."

Seiryu: "Then let's go into the mountains tomorrow to look for clues? Go and see the place where Watanabe-kun and Oda were found last year?"

Tamamo shook his head: "That's probably useless. It's been a year, and it's in the wild again. Maybe the mountain has landslided several times when it rained. I'm sure I won't find anything."

Qingliu: "What should we do?"

Kazuma shrugged: "Maybe we can find some clues from the things that the Lord of God has picked up this year."

"You didn't ask about the Turtle Card?" Tamamo asked.

"No," Kazuma shook his head, "This woman herself has not been cleared of suspicion. She was also on the mountain on the day of the accident, so I don't want her to know what we have."

Qingliu: "You said this is the first time I've heard of this turtle-back brand. What is it?"

"A divination tool with the runes on the red magic gun of the three-eyed boy on it. The god master picked it up when he went to the mountain to collect medicine. That person seems to have been wandering around the mountain in the name of collecting medicine, looking for evidence."

As soon as Kazuma finished speaking, five people, Mikako, Hinami Rina, Honami, Chiyoko and Ama-chan, opened the door curtain and came out of the bathhouse together.

The huge space immediately became lively and became unsuitable for playing detective games.

So Kazuma turned to the girls, and immediately saw Mikako's red hair with highlights on her forehead, and said, "Mikako, aren't you hiding your highlights?"

"It's holiday anyway, so I won't hide it anymore!" Mikako said loudly, "When school starts, I'll comb my hair in a way that hides the highlights."

Seiryu also turned to look at Mikako and teased: "I'm a rock girl and I have black hair, but you, a top student who got admitted to Sophia University, are actually using highlights."

Mikako actually only dyed a very small strand of hair, which was easily hidden in her black hair.

It's just that she dyed it a very bright red, and once it is placed where it can be seen, it is extremely conspicuous.

As a lover of long, straight black hair, Kazuma originally didn't like overly bright colors, but he was completely able to accept Mikako's highlights.

While talking, the five girls ran to the milk vending machine to buy their favorite dairy products.

Mikako was the first to buy milk, ran over and sat next to Kazuma. While opening the lid, she asked: "Seiruru, Kazuma, don't you drink milk?"

"We finished drinking already."

Not only did he finish drinking, but he also went to investigate a wave of cases.

Mikako seemed to be asking this question, and she didn't really care whether Kazuma and the others drank milk. She opened the lid of the milk, drank most of the bottle like a hero from Liangshan, and then made a "poof" sound. .

"It feels so good to drink milk after taking a shower!"

Kazuma also felt very happy watching the fat swaying with her body movements.

Other girls also came over with milk.

Chiyoko asked Kazuma: "Brother, I saw the poster over there. It seems that you can go to the shrine festival tomorrow."

Kazuma recalled what he saw when he went to the shrine today, and asked doubtfully: "Can we go tomorrow? When we went to the shrine this afternoon, we didn't see the festival shops. In fact, the shrine is empty now. Nothing is prepared.”

Chiyoko shrugged: "Then I don't know what's going on. Anyway, it says on the poster that the festival will start tomorrow night and last for two weeks."

"In addition to fireworks and night tours, there are many other activities during the festival, including mikoshi parades and various athletic competitions." Tamamo explained, "If you just want to visit the shrine stalls and eat snacks at night, Goldfish, just pay attention to the day when the fireworks are set off. There will definitely be a stall at the shrine on the day of the fireworks."

Chiyoko nodded: "That's right. I thought it was like the festivals in Tokyo. It says when it starts. At that time, there will be festivals at the shrines to visit."

"The festivals in Tokyo have all been simplified to adapt to city life." Tamamo smiled, "The Kiryu Dojo is in the Katsura district, and everyone is familiar with the Shakten festival. It was originally held for two weeks, but now On the day of the festival, we go to see the parade and then go to the temple to worship and that’s it.”

After Tamamo finished speaking, Mikako said in the tone of the classic opening narration of the national comedy "The Story of Torajiro": "My name is Mikako. I was born in Katsushika Shibamata. I was raised by the water of Emperor Shakten. People call me crazy. Yes, monkey."

Kazuma: "What, Mikako, do you plan to wander around like Torajiro in the future?"

"Haha, that's not bad. Qingliu will come too?"

"I'm not going!"

Mikako pretended to cry: "Uuuu, I'm hated. Sure enough, Qingliu looks down on me as a sister."

"When did you become my sister?"

Mikako ignored Seiryu and sang the theme song of Torajiro's story, "It's So Hard for Men," and then changed all the words "sister" in the lyrics to " Seiryu Ryu".

Qingliu said to her expressionlessly: "Mikako, give me your hand."

"Ha, what are you doing?" Mikako looked at Qingliu's outstretched hand with the palm up, and covered her own hand without hesitation, "Woof."

"Take me over your shoulder and throw me!"

"ah!"

Mikako was thrown over Qingliu's shoulder, and then fell heavily to the ground on her back.

"My back, my spine must be broken!" she shouted.

Qingliu: "If the spine is damaged, the sphincter will lose control and the person will poop all over the floor. Please pull me and see."

"Hey, why would Seiruru know such a thing? You've never actually broken someone's spine, right?"

Seiryu looked down at Mikako lying on the ground, folding her arms and not answering.

Mikako got up quickly, ran to Kazuma, and put on a posture as if Kazuma was using him as a cover: "Seiruru's expression just now was so scary, I was scared, I will have nightmares tonight, so Kazuma Can I sleep in your room?"

Kazuma: "No."

In fact, He Ma wanted to say "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome", but that would be too obvious.

"Hey, Kazuma is so cold! If Seiryuu was so scared that she couldn't sleep tonight and came to you, you would have agreed without even thinking!"

Qingliu shouted: "I don't know how!"

**

midnight.

"I...can't sleep, come and chat with me." Qingliu stood outside the door of Hema's stable, holding a pillow.

Kazuma wanted to laugh, but seeing her pitiful look, he stepped aside from the door: "Come in. We agreed to just chat."

"Nonsense! What else could I do?" Qingliu rolled her eyes, "Also, I'm not scared, I just have insomnia!"

"Yes." He Ma went to the tea room of the suite, turned on the electric kettle, and prepared to make tea.

Qingliu: "I'm a rock girl, there's no way I'm afraid of those things! Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. You just have insomnia, are bored, and want to find someone to chat with." Kazuma responded, deliberately ignoring the pillow that Qingliu was holding.

Seiryu walked to the chair next to the window of the room and sat down.

Because Kazuma only turned on the small light in the room, the light was very weak, so Seiryu sitting by the window was bathed in the moonlight.

"I've been wondering," she said, looking out the window, "what happened to the story that Miss Akanishi heard from Grandma Noda. It can't be that Grandma Noda was dazzled when she was a child, right?"

"Who knows. Maybe after dawn tomorrow, we should ask Grandma Noda." Kazuma came to the door of the tea room and leaned against the door frame and looked at Seiruru, "What, you just keep thinking about this and can't sleep? "

"I-I'm just curious! I originally thought Tamamo would give a scientific explanation for this matter, but she didn't explain it at all."

Kazuma shrugged: "After all, it happened so long ago, in the Taisho era. My father was not even born at that time."

"Well..." Qingliu sat on a chair and looked out the window, looking like he couldn't let go.

At this time, Kazuma heard the beeping sound from the electric kettle, indicating that the water had reached the temperature set by Kazuma.

So Kazuma turned back to the tea room and prepared to make tea.

At this time, he suddenly heard Qingliu scream.

"Ah ah!"

Then there was a rough knock on the window glass: Bang, bang, bang!

Kazuma turned around and rushed out of the tea room, and saw Haruyu's chair overturned backwards. She was lying on the ground, looking like she was trying to escape from the window, but her hands and feet were not in control, and her face was full of fear.

"Kazuma!"

she yelled.

Behind her, the moonlight that should have penetrated through the window was mostly blocked by something outside. Someone was knocking on the glass roughly from outside.

Kazuma picked up the wooden knife that was placed with the luggage at the door and rushed to the window.

Tamamo said that all powerful humans need to deal with monsters and monsters is a wooden sword.

As he approached the window, the knocking sound disappeared, and the moonlight shone in again.

The being outside had obviously escaped.

He Ma brushed open the window, leaned out of the window and looked up first - he was used to it.

Then he looked around and saw a figure jumping from the eaves of the hotel to the treetops of the forest.

Kazuma: "Seiryu, go find Tamamo!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the window.

Where are the monsters and monsters?
