In the toilet of the teaching building.
Kanoya, who was soaked all over, had stopped crying and was packing his things without saying a word.
Nishii Kimi and the others stole her manga manuscript.
But she threw her bag on the toilet floor.
The pendulum was still inside, but the tarot cards were scattered all over the floor.
Just as he put away the tarot cards, Lu Yewu heard footsteps coming from outside.
Originally, she thought that the three people from Xijing were back again, and she felt humiliated, but she still gritted her teeth and stared at the door.
But at this glance, I saw an unexpected person.
He is the reversed Wheel of Fortune, the dangerous person that Hatachi-sama calls him.
"Well--"
After seeing the person clearly, Lu Yewu subconsciously turned his face, raised his hand to wipe the remaining tears on his face, and stroked the messy hair stuck to his face by the cold water.
This little jc is a little arrogant and doesn't want others to see him in such a miserable state.
Although...she is already in enough embarrassment now.
"Shikanoya Yukino, I got your drawing back, that... I read it, I'm sorry."
Kamiyagawa walked in and handed the drawing in his hand back to Kanoya.
Little jc squatted on the ground, raised his head slightly, hesitated for half a second, and then stretched out his hands to take down the drawing.
"Thank you." She whispered, not saying much about the drawing.
Kanoya never expected that at the moment when he felt most helpless in his life, the "Wheel of Fortune" he had only met twice would come to help him.
Although I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is.
But it is certainly impossible to say that I am not grateful.
"I taught those three girls a lesson, and they won't dare to bully you again. It is estimated that in a few days, they will apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. You can make some demands of them..."
Kamiya looked at Kanoya.
This little jc's short hair was wet and messy, and the autumn and winter uniform he was wearing was completely soaked, and his dress was wet and stuck to his body.
It looks somewhat pitiful.
However, this guy clearly claims to be a psychic, and there should be a strong ghost story behind him.
I don’t understand why I am bullied so badly by ordinary people.
"I will not make any demands to them, nor will I accept their apology, nor will I forgive them. If Xi Jing still dares to provoke me, I must make her look good. I am not a weakling who is easy to bully."
Kanoya shook his head stubbornly and put the drawing back into his bag.
"Well, this is your freedom too."
Kamiyakawa didn't say much about this.
Anyway, no matter what, he instructed the little old man Mini to play "haunted pranks" on the three girls in Xijing until they became suspicious and no longer dared to bully others.
Lu Ye stood up from the ground. She looked at Kamiya, her dark eyes regained a little life: "But why do you come here?"
"Ah... this." Kamiyakawa touched his nose in embarrassment, "To be honest, I have one..."
】
"No." Kanoya shook his head, "I mean, this is the women's restroom."
Kamiyagawa:……
…
Kanoya Yukino walked out of the empty teaching building.
The sun was setting outside at dusk, and the sunset was dim.
She is going home now.
The wind outside was a bit cold, and Lu Yewu's body was already wet. When the wind blew, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Like a pitiful stray puppy soaked by the rain.
Kamiya, who walked downstairs with her, sighed helplessly, raised his hand to take off his coat, and handed it to Kanoya: "Put it on first, don't get sick from the cold, go home and change quickly."
The little jc painter hesitated for two seconds, and finally stretched out his hands to take off Kamiya's coat, put it on himself, lowered his head and whispered thank you.
The coat is dry and thick, and at least it's not as cold as before.
Lu Yewu carried his bag and walked towards home.
Kamiyakawa walked behind her leisurely, and little JC didn't resist, just walked, silently.
The town of Ourishima is not big to begin with, and Kanoya's house is not too far from the middle school.
It's only about ten minutes' walk away.
Arriving at the door of the house, Kamiyakawa paused.
He was thinking of having a good chat with Kanoya next.
I still want to confirm some things about the island; I also need to find out the strange stories behind her.
Now is a good opportunity.
However, it's not a good time to chat in school.
This young jc painter was soaked to the skin. It was somewhat inhumane to drag him to talk about things like this on such a cold day.
So I can only wait for her to go home, take a shower, change clothes and so on.
Snap.
Lu Yewu took the key and opened the door.
Then he looked back at Kamiyakawa behind him, nodded slightly, and walked into the house.
There is no door closed.
It seemed like he was gesturing for Kamiya to come in.
"Hiss..." Kamiyakawa rarely hesitated.
By the way, if I go to the home of a junior high school girl I have only met a few times and never spoken to a few words, how should I greet her parents?
It feels weird.
But, if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.
I didn't do anything wrong to begin with.
Moreover, it is best to talk to Kanoya's parents about bullying.
As for the manga...it depends on Kanoya's own wishes.
Kamiyagawa followed up with steps.
When I walked to the entrance, I saw Kanoya already changing his shoes.
Her skirt and black pantyhose were also wet with water, and the wetness was uneven and stuck to her slender straight legs.
He took off his small leather shoes and stepped on the wooden floor with his feet wrapped in black silk, leaving two small water-stained footprints.
"I live with my father, and he goes fishing these days."
Kanoya said this, turned around and got a pair of slippers for Kamiya.
"That's it, excuse me."
Unfortunately, I even planned how to greet your family members, but you told me that there are no adults at home?
While Kamiyagawa was changing his shoes, he spoke carefully: "Ah, by the way, about school matters, do you want to talk to your family..."
"When dad comes back, I will tell him." Lu Yewu's reaction was very indifferent, "My dad is a very good dad."
"Ah... this is best." Kamiyakawa was a little surprised and nodded.
I thought this little JC seemed to be a little different.
Generally speaking, children who have been bullied at school find it difficult to tell their parents.
Instead, he chose to endure it silently.
On the one hand, it may be due to self-esteem and fear; on the other hand, there is also the possibility of being unable to communicate effectively with parents.
Kanoya can calmly say "I will tell dad", which shows that the relationship between father and daughter must be relatively harmonious.
She must have a good father.
In addition, this little jc himself is definitely not a submissive character.
On the premise of being able to communicate effectively with her parents, telling adults about school matters is one of the best ways to deal with school bullying at her age.
It seems that there is no need to worry about her.
Kanoya brought Kamiya into the living room of his home, and then rummaged through the cabinet on the side, seemingly wanting to make tea for Kamiya.
Upon seeing this, Kamiya stopped her movement: "Don't bother with that. Go dry yourself and change clothes. I'll just sit here."
"Oh, wait for me a moment."
Kanoya nodded and walked out of the living room.
Kamiyakawa sat alone and looked around.
The living room of Kanoya's house is plainly furnished.
There is a small TV, wooden furniture, and a kotatsu table with a plate of oranges on the table.
When jc little painter left the living room just now, he had already turned on the kotatsu.
Kamiyagawa did not notice the aura of Kaidan in Kanoya's house, which means that the Kaidan behind little JC is not here.
…
Luyewu was gone for a long time.
Kamiyakawa was not in a hurry. He sat and thought about reviewing his actions during the day and the intelligence he had collected.
He did a lot of things during the day today.
As a "half folklorist", I took [Thousand Silver Needles] and chatted with some middle-aged and elderly people on the island for a long time.
Mainly asking about Lord Red Ray and the Red Ray Festival.
After opening up the conversation, most people's descriptions of Master Red Ray were exactly the same as the ancient mother-in-law in the hotel.
It is said that Lord Red Stingray is a benevolent god who can bring good harvests and catch fishes.
It's a pity that after the death of the previous priest, the red stingray festival on the island stopped, causing the red stingray-sama's shrine to be abandoned.
But there was a middle-aged man whose words were a little vague when he was talking about Master Chiyao.
Kamiyagawa continued the trick with [Thousand Silver Needles] and forcibly obtained the following information from the man's mouth——
It is said that there are actually two sets of red stingray festivals on Ouri Island, one on the surface and one secretly.
The scene on the surface was what the hotel mother-in-law said. Many people went to the Red Ray Shrine to worship according to the procedures, and it was very lively.
After the worship, everyone will eat sea bream together.
And what is going on behind the scenes is only known to a few people.
It is also a truly effective sacrifice.
In the past, priests would organize their cronies to summon Lord Red Ray together at night.
And select a suitable child on the island as a sacrifice.
After the Zhi sacrifice is made, the red stingray-sama will bring a full year's worth of catches to Ouri Island.
The children sacrificed as sacrifices will die of exhaustion.
Therefore, decades ago, children on the island often died suddenly due to "strange diseases."
In addition, after sitting here reviewing the situation for a while, Kamiyagawa had some doubts. It is very likely that there will be children on the island who will become Zhiji this year.
In the early morning this morning, he wandered around the same street and alley where the dream-eating tapir said he had a strange nightmare last night, but could not find the source in the end, in order to look for the smallest anomalies.
Kamiyagawa saw a little boy in that street, white and fat.
I noticed something strange about the other person and felt concerned about it, so I went up to talk to him and found out that the other person's name was Asakawa Hanpei.
Asakawa's situation is very strange, how can I put it...
In Kamiya's own words, at first glance, he felt that this boy was black.
And too dark.
He obviously looked like a primary school student, but there was a sense of death about him, as if he was about to die soon.
"Based on the information I got using [Thousand Silver Needles] this afternoon, maybe Asakawa Hanpei is already Lord Red Ray's Zhiji."
"Decades ago, the selection of Zhi sacrifices on this island was led by priests. But now there are no more priests...Who pushed this matter?"
"Or is it that Lord Red Ray, who has been silent for a long time, felt that there was a sufficient amount of incense offerings this year and came to the island to choose it himself?"
"Sure enough, the Red Ray-sama on this island is not that simple. Kanoya told me that it would be dangerous to continue studying the Red Ray-sama. She is likely to know about Zhiji."
"In addition, I have to find out the details of the ghost story behind her as soon as possible. It is best that the ghost story at Kanoya is neutral, or simply hostile to the red ray... I don't want to fight against the red ray. I was unexpectedly stabbed in the back by another ghost talker."
"However, judging from Kanoya's attitude, the possibility of the Kaitan behind her being neutral is not small."
Kamiyakawa sat quietly, tapping his fingers on the table, sorting out today's information in his mind.
After clearing his mind, he took out his mobile phone and sent messages to Onizuka and Uncle Yuuki respectively. He briefly told them about the situation on the island, and then asked about the Arakami Zhi Festival.
If Asakawa Hanpei can still be saved, Kamiya still maintains the attitude of saving if possible.
As for how to explain to the officials why he appeared on Ouri Island now.
This is easy. Originally, Kamiyagawa obtained the strange information related to red rays from the official in the name of his master, "Thunder God".
As a disciple of ghosts and gods, following the clues to Ouri Island can be said to be the master's mission or the master's trial.
Makes sense.
Moreover, Lord Red Ray sacrificed a living person to Zhi, so Kamiyagawa wanted to deal with him, so it was justifiable.
You can also brush up the justice attribute of "Master" from the official website.
Maybe you can reap some benefits.
…
About half an hour passed.
Kanoya Yukino returned to the living room. She must have taken a shower, changed into dry home clothes, and had her short hair dried.
The whole person seems to have returned to normal.
"This girl has a big heart."
Kamitani thought this in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled at Kanoya.
When there was no one at home, I took a boy who was several years older than me and a stranger to me and took a shower by myself.
This heart is big enough.
However, this also shows that after what happened at school, Kanoya is now obviously not too wary of Kamiya.
When she was most helpless and sad, magic weapons appeared from the sky.
Kamiyagawa must have had a lot of favorable impressions on this little girl from Kanoya.
It's a good opportunity to talk and ask questions.
"Sorry for the long wait." Kanoya came over, holding Kamiyagawa's coat in his hand, his face a little red, probably just from taking a hot bath, "Also, um, your coat was just put on me. If it gets wet, I can help you wash it off."
"No need to go to such trouble." Kamiyakawa smiled in a friendly manner, "I have a few questions to ask you. As long as you answer them, it will be considered as my thanks."
"Then ask."
Kanoya came down from the opposite side of Kamiya, put his feet into the kotatsu, and handed over an orange.
My attitude felt completely different from when I saw her last night.
"How much do you know about Lord Red Ray?"
"The real purpose of your coming to Ouri Island is not to do folklore research, right?"
"Well, no." This time, Kamiya chose to be honest because he felt that the time was right. "I am the official exterminator of the special search and countermeasures room. I came to the island to investigate Lord Red Ray."
As he spoke, he also took out his ID card.
"Special Search Countermeasures Room, Official Spirit Exterminator? What is that?" Kanoya picked up Kamiya's ID and looked through it in confusion.
It seems that this little girl doesn't understand at all.
"You can think of it as a special police force that specializes in exterminating evil monsters. You see, there is a stamp from the Metropolitan Police Department on my ID."
"oh……"
Kanoya nodded confusedly.
It seems to be the seal of the Metropolitan Police Department, so this "Wheel of Fortune" must be a completely good person, right?
Should he really come here to deal with the Evil God Red Ray?
Although Master Hachisha has ordered not to have too much contact with Kamiya River.
But Kanoya’s contact with Kamiya today is unavoidable. Even the little girl's mouth was obviously not as strict as last night.
"Lord Red Ray is an evil ghost, the great evil god on the island."
Kanoya said seriously.
