I teach kendo in Tokyo

Tamamo looked at Kazuma and said with a smile: "Maybe Seimei is really a female monster. Look at Uesugi Kenshin, such a masculine and famous general, even the unofficial historian said she is a woman.

“Isn’t the characteristic of unofficial history that it cannot be verified or falsified?”

The fox gave an ambiguous answer. But Kazuma felt that she was giving a positive answer.

She once transformed into a male, Abe Seimei, and opened an Onnyangryo in the human world.

In fact, Kazuma is more curious about the ending that is so miserable that he doesn't want to mention it, but now is obviously not the time to ask this. If nothing else, Americans are listening.

Mikako: "Are you going to start an advanced historical discussion? Then I'll leave and go to bed."

Kazuma: "It's just evening now?"

"You're unconscious. I can't sleep well at all. By the way, I think Eggy should sleep too. She hasn't slept a wink since last night."

After Mikako finished speaking, Honami nodded immediately: "Yes, just let me take care of Kazuma."

Tamamo pushed up her glasses, and this action made her lenses reflect like Gendo Ikari in EVA!

Seeing that the war was about to break out, Kazuma immediately smoothed things over and said, "I'm completely healed and don't need care anymore. You all can go and rest."

In fact, Kazuma still wanted to tell the girls what happened, and then use the wisdom of the thousand-year-old fox to sort out the situation, but the bug was just there, unless Kazuma and the others could awaken their telepathic abilities immediately, otherwise No idea.

Then we can only continue to play the role of ordinary people who are accidentally involved in the incident and survive the aftermath.

There is nothing we can do.

Kazuma was thinking this when he suddenly saw Qingliu hanging from the window and waving to Kazuma: "Kazuma, come here."

"What's wrong?" Kazuma stood up in confusion and walked to the window.

"Follow me to the roof." After saying that, Qingliu turned back and climbed onto the roof.

Kazuma stepped onto the window sill with a puzzled look on his face and climbed up to the roof nimbly.

Seiryu handed the telescope in his hand to Kazuma: "Look over there."

Kazuma raised the telescope in confusion and asked, "Aren't you looking at the movements over the shrine? Why are you observing the direction of the farmland?"

"Just look at the shrine from the corner of your eye. Nothing has changed much anyway. Do you see what I want you to see?"

Kazuma didn't answer immediately.

Of course he saw it.

In the field of view of the telescope, a blockade of the Self-Defense Forces appeared, and checkpoints were set up on the only road leading to the hot spring street.

All self-defense force infantrymen are armed with live ammunition, and they look completely unlike the "defense civil servants" who were afraid of dangers and difficulties in the Heisei era.

A county police car was blocked outside the checkpoint, and several men dressed as criminal police officers were arguing with the self-defense officers.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far. Kazuma couldn't even see the details of each other's facial expressions. He couldn't read lips or anything like that. He had no idea what these people were talking about.

Kazuma stared at those people with his binoculars for a few seconds. He always felt that the binoculars were in the way, so he put down the binoculars and set up a pergola to look out like Sun Dasheng.

Seiryu looked at Kazuma's behavior with confusion.

In the end, she decided to ignore this move, probably because she thought Kazuma was usually acting weird.

She got down to business: "The Self-Defense Forces cordoned off the area and then refused to let the county police in to perform their duties, which makes me feel bad."

Kazuma suddenly remembered the story told by Shantaro. Could it be...

He shook off the worst imagination in his mind and comforted Qingliu: "It should just be a lockdown to ensure that the cholera germs are not spread outside the hot spring street."

However, it is now 1981, and the old deadly gods of cholera, plague and smallpox have been basically conquered by mankind. Smallpox even only exists in human laboratories and is barely considered an "endangered species".

A simple variant of the cholera virus probably would not make the Self-Defense Forces so nervous.

Kazuma judged that at least the top brass of the Self-Defense Forces had a good understanding of the true origin of the virus and knew that this was a scandal that would shock all of Japan and might even affect Japan's international reputation.

So I'm afraid the Self-Defense Forces are trying to bury this secret using the same method used by the Sendai Division more than half a century ago.

However, there is a problem with this:

When the Sendai Division wiped out a closed mountain village, communication with the outside world was very limited, so they wiped out the entire village easily without any news, and finally successfully disguised it as a forest fire.

Now that the Self-Defense Forces want to do the same thing, they must consider the connection between the hot spring street and the outside world. You must know that this is a tourist destination. It is still the peak tourist season, and the hotels on the hot spring street are full.

It is too difficult to erase the hot spring street quietly.

And among these tourists, there is also the "ninjutsu master" Kiryu Kazuma who has a certain public influence.

If the Self-Defense Forces really wanted to eliminate all insiders, they would definitely feel that Kiryu and Kazuma were a thorn in their side.

After thinking about it with Ma, I think it shouldn't be the case.

After all, everyone in the shrine office yesterday either died of "thirsty" or was speechless. The surviving Kiryu Kazuma acted like a passerby who was involved and didn't know anything.

The other guy is the possessed owner Eiji Mukai. According to Tamamo, he should be resting in his own home and waiting to wake up.

Kazuma has killed the evil spirit, but he doesn't know whether the real owner will speak human words or lies after he opens his eyes.

If this guy retains the memory of when he was possessed by an evil spirit, it would be quite difficult.

Thanks to Kazuma's efforts, Hiroko was not infected with the germs, and then coincidentally suffered from aphasia and was unable to tell what she saw that day, so Kazuma is now just the subject of observation with a bug.

What if Eita Mukai wakes up and reports to the Americans that "Kazuma knows everything, because I don't know why I know everything, and I told Kazuma everything" - that would be terrible.

Kazuma felt that he should go visit Mukai Eita. If things were really bad, then... Anyway, this incident was directly caused by Mukai Eita.

It would be reasonable for him to pay some price, such as becoming a vegetative state.

The future detective Kiryu Kazuma stood on the roof and looked at the Self-Defense Forces' blockade in the distance. He had cruel thoughts in his mind that were completely contrary to his identity as a detective.

At this time, Qingliu suddenly patted his elbow: "Look, there is something going on at the village office. Could it be that the president of the Promotion Association has woken up?"

Kazuma turned his head and scanned the hot spring street, holding the telescope in his hand as if he had forgotten to use it.

The sun has set and night is gradually falling, but the village office is still brightly lit, and many people can be seen busy in the courtyard of the village office.

Strange to say, it is clearly evening now, the time when Dvořák’s music usually fills the fields. However, whether it is the speaker installed in the hot spring street or the solitary speaker erected in the farmland, it seems as if it has been struck by silence. The Warlock's ultimate move is the same, with no reaction at all.

Probably the village office was too busy to play music.

However, when the Self-Defense Forces blocked the hot spring street and no one could leave, there was indeed no need to play this song - no, there were no children in this hot spring street, so there was no need to play this song in the first place.

Kazuma looked at the bustling village hall and became curious, so he asked Haruyu: "Are you sure that the president of the Promotion Association is in the village hall?"

Seiryu nodded: "Yes, it's right there. You were also there originally, but Tamamo persuaded the captain of the Self-Defense Force to send you back to the hotel for her to take care of you personally."

Just as Kazuma was about to speak, Mikako also climbed onto the roof.

"Kazuma, you followed Seiruru and you won't come back. I was sent by Honami and Danzi to catch the adulterer* and his wife!"

Kazuma: "You're late, I'm about to go down."

"Eh? Then I won't crawl in vain?"

Kazuma ignored Mikako, returned to the window he had just crawled out from, and climbed back in.

After placing his feet on the floor in the house, Kazuma said to Tamamo, "Let's go to the village office now to see about the president of the Promotion Association."

Tamamo: "Just make a phone call. The line leading to the outside of the hot spring street has been cut off. Phone calls in the hot spring street can still be made. The switchboard will complete the transfer."

Switchboard—another contemporary word.

In this era, many units only have one telephone line, so they set up a switchboard and then branched out many phones with different extension numbers.

Kazuma remembered that when he was a child in his last life, in addition to dialing a very long phone number, he also had to dial a not-so-long extension number after the prompt sounded.

It seems that the same is true for this hot spring street. There is only one telephone line in the village, which is then distributed to each household through a switchboard.

After all, this is the age.

This actually has advantages. There is no phone fee for calling the extension machine, which is also a benefit to the villagers.

After Tamamo finished speaking, Honami complained: "In this village, the hotels and private houses are all extensions of the same switchboard, but the convenience store chain has a separate local phone number.

"When people in the village call the convenience store in their own village, it costs the same as calling Tokyo. Now that external communications have been cut off, the villagers can't even call the convenience store."

Kazuma: "That convenience store is a chain convenience store, right? Maybe it's the company's requirement that stores must have an independent local phone number?"

"If this is the case, then this convenience store chain company has really rigid management."

As the rich daughter who is likely to be in charge of the Nanjo Consortium in the future, Honami criticizes the convenience store company without hesitation.

Kazuma: "Okay, stop talking, let's go to the village office. For safety reasons, I recommend wearing a mask when going out to avoid bacterial infection."

In Japan, due to the government's indiscriminate introduction of foreign tree species, citizens who do not have anti-hay fever factors in their genes have to undergo severe tests every year during the flowering period.

Japan even has a special "hay fever warning", which is used to inform people that it is still windy today during the flowering season. If you don't want to be tortured by pollen and burst into tears, you should take precautions.

Because of hay fever, many families in Japan always keep masks.

Kazuma and others came to the hot spring street this time. Although the flowering period of the main plants that cause hay fever has passed, they still wore masks to be prepared.

Tamamo turned around and opened the sliding door and called Chiyoko: "Chiyoko, bring the masks here, take two."

Honami: "I'll go too. Get three."

Chiyoko's response came from the corridor: "I know, right away."

Honami looked at Kazuma, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Isn't cholera mainly spread through drinking water? Why are you wearing a mask?"

"What if it's not cholera?" Kazuma asked back.

Honami thought for a few seconds and nodded: "Well, it's always better to be prepared."

The three of them were fully "armed" and went downstairs to the hotel lobby.

Ms. Umashima was passing the time boredly behind the counter. When she saw Kazuma and his entourage coming down, she quickly smiled and said, "Kiriyu-kun, are you up? I heard it was cholera. You had severe diarrhea yesterday."

Kazuma: "Don't mention this, okay?"

Ms. Umashima smiled heartily.

"I'm going to the village office and stop by the only convenience store in the village to buy some snacks or something." Kazuma said.

"Then why don't you go to the only coffee shop in our store and have a cup of hot coffee or hot cocoa?" Ms. Umashima asked.

"Everyone goes."

"Hmph, just be perfunctory. You won't know how to cherish it until the coffee shop can no longer be opened, but by then it will be too late."

Ms. Umashima teased as she watched the three of them walk towards the door.

Suddenly she said: "Don't leave the village too far. There are self-defense force blockades all around you. If you run too far, you will be caught. I don't know why Dvořák was suddenly not released today. I'm still a little embarrassed." adapt."

Kazuma responded: "The village office is too busy."

"Maybe." Ms. Umashima shrugged.

The three of Kazuma left the hotel.

At this time, he found an American squatting not far from the door of the hotel. He kept looking at the door. After meeting Kazuma's eyes, the man turned his eyes to the side calmly.

Kazuma judged that this was probably one of the people left by the CIA to monitor him.

Sure enough, the CIA did not completely trust Kazuma.

He Ma pretended not to see the CIA and continued to walk down the mountain in a swagger.

Tamamo and Honami's acting skills are also good, as if the CIA's secret whistle does not exist at all.

The CIA also ignored them, pretending to be "it's not you I'm watching" attitude.

Street lights were already on the road leading to the main part of the hot spring street, and there were no other tourists out for a walk.

When they arrived at the town, Kazuma looked at the festival flags that had not been confiscated on both sides of the road and asked Tamamo, "What happened to the festival?"

"Everything was normal, but suddenly Hiroko rushed onto the stage for the Kamikaze Dance. Because she was wearing a miko costume, the supporting mikos from Tokyo thought she was also coming to dance the Kamikaze Dance together, but she was just late," Tamamo said.

Honami took over the conversation: "But she was holding the microphone, as if she wanted to announce something important, but she couldn't say a word. I guess she was suffering from aphasia at that time. But no one thought so at the time, I thought the child was just nervous, but the miko sisters from Tokyo encouraged her.”

He Ma was speechless: "Then how did you realize that something was wrong and start evacuating?"

"The staff discovered that the pyrotechnics master who was scheduled to light the fireworks that night was not in place, so he went to the social office to urge him. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the situation was not good." Honami continued, "Then he shouted, 'There is a fatality.' Run on stage.”

Kazuma: "Isn't this person sick?"

Tamamo: "It seems like everyone will be fine if they don't drink the bottled water prepared by the social office."

Did the bacteria really fall into the water? In this way, the spread of bacteria is greatly weakened. It turns out that they are bacteria that specialize in lethality.

Wait, that’s not right!

Kazuma suddenly remembered that this bacterium did not seem to be developed as a bacterial weapon in the first place.

Remember, this thing seemed to be developed as a means of creating super soldiers?

Then Hema realized belatedly that his ears seemed to be extra sensitive and his eyesight was extraordinarily good.

I took a look and found that even though the bounty was open, there weren't many updates added. It was all added in a few days. not worried. Vera also said that she was so careful that she didn't even finish the book and missed updates. She was really worrying too much.
