Nanami said with certainty: "It's true! I really saw Maiko Togami, I remember her face, and just now I went to Maiko Togami's former class and got married to her former classmate Class photo."
She looked frightened: "She looks exactly the same as in the photo! But I didn't know Maiko Togashi at all before."
Yamazaki Ken looked at Kiryu Ichishi. If Nanami hadn't lied and pranked her, the situation might have been worse than imagined.
"Let's go take a look at Nanami's house tonight."
After leaving school, Kiryu contacted Reiko Asakawa on the phone and found out that Reiko Asakawa had received three more commissions today, not only from middle school students, but also from college students.
But unlike junior high school students who are too stubborn to explain, college students are less courageous than junior high school students just because they know more. Moreover, the more college students understand how weak they are in this world and society, they will tend to be superstitious.
To be precise, I don't admit it with my mouth, but in my heart I always have thoughts such as "I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist" and "it's always right to pay homage".
So after Reiko Asakawa said that the detective agency mainly investigates urban ghost stories and has a dedicated psychic detective, the college students recounted the situation one after another.
After hanging up the phone, Kiryu Ichichi told Asakawa Reiko not to pursue Maiko's matter for the time being, and leave this matter to him.
night.
Kiryu Ichizu sat in the passenger seat of Yamazaki Arata's temporarily borrowed car, dozing downstairs at Nanami's house.
If two boys want to stay at a girl's house late at night, Nanami's parents will probably call the police and kick them out. If one boy comes, it can be said that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, but if two boys come, are they planning to have some ridiculous party? !
Therefore, Ken Yamazaki, who was very considerate but also seemed to be full of abnormal thoughts, believed that it would be safest to wait in the car downstairs with Kiryu Yiyi.
The late night wind was a bit cool, coming in through the car window, making people shrink their necks subconsciously.
The voice call continues.
"Are you still there?" Nanami's voice came on the phone.
"Nanami, the pink underwear hanging on your balcony is very stylish." Ken Yamazaki opened his mouth to adjust the atmosphere.
Nanami on the phone was confused: "My house? My balcony does not face the car."
"Huh? Whose is that I see? It's on the left."
"You are talking about the family in front of me. My house is on the right side of the car." Nanami said, "I heard that there lives a transgender African Obasan who works part-time at Cowherd's shop."
What kind of buff is this!
"..."
Yamazaki Ken suddenly became quiet. He actually commented on such a person and was still making all kinds of speculations.
There was an awkward silence in the car.
About midnight.
"She...she's coming!" Nanami said in fear.
"Is the window open?"
"Yeah!" Nanami replied, "It's the bedroom window facing the car."
Click!
Kiryu opened the car door and easily jumped over the courtyard wall of Matsushita's house. Without even landing his feet, he double-jumped in the air and tumbled into the window with a flexible roll.
"Hey!" Kengang Yamazaki took off his seat belt: "Hey, I haven't gotten out of the car yet!"
In the room, Nanami was huddled in the corner next to the bed, and at the door, a figure lying on the ground without legs was getting closer and closer.
"Togashi Maiko?" Kiryu Yiyi just held the demon sword banner, but did not unsheath the demon sword.
Because the Togashi Maiko in front of her was not a fantasy demon.
Togashi Maiko's body was covered with blood, but her face was very calm, not at all like the vicious monster in the legend who would cut off a person's legs and take them away.
She looked at Kiryu Yishi in surprise.
"You are already dead, why don't you go to the underworld?" Kiryu asked.
"Because...there is no way to go," Maiko said.
Maiko spoke and said: "There are constant voices in my mind. They are calling me, frightening me, and preventing me from passing away... Their calls make me have to rush over, again and again."
"I see."
Kiryu Yiyi nodded: "I understand."
Talking about Maiko as if she were a ghost, like a malicious curse, binding Maiko and unable to leave the human world, this was the first time Kiryu Yishi encountered it.
But it's not difficult to understand.
The human spirit and will are very special things, otherwise demons would not always want to invade, and gods and Buddhas would not always want to be enshrined by humans.
It shows that will and thought have wonderful abilities.
"So, Maiko won't harm anyone?" Nanami asked cautiously.
"That's right!" Kiryu Yiyi said: "It was because of the curse formed by your fearful thoughts that Maiko had to come and could not escape."
In fact, there was one sentence he couldn't say in front of Maiko.
If urban ghost stories continue, maybe those cursed voices will turn into chains and iron helmets, controlling Maiko Togami to become like in the ghost stories.
In the final analysis, it was that bastard Yamazaki who was responsible.
“Private Marseille!”
Nanami apologized.
"Maiko is so pitiful!" Nanami turned to look at Kiryu Yishi: "How can we help her?"
"When the rumors disappear, she may be free..."
There may be a source for ghost stories that suddenly become popular like Maiko's, but it's probably boys telling scary stories to girls, and by the way, the ghost stories and rumors from a while ago are combined and re-adapted.
But I didn't expect that the impact would be far beyond imagination, and it would instantly detonate various circles.
Such strange stories appear and disappear just as quickly.
Suddenly, Kiryu Yiyi thought of a method that had a high possibility of implementation.
the next day.
A new rumor emerged. The spirit of Maiko Togami was maliciously cursed, but as long as she prayed to the legendary Lord God, Maiko's spirit could become a Buddha.
Although the vast majority of people don't believe it, there are still a few people who want to believe it, so they searched for Godhead on the Internet and discovered that there is a Godhead Shrine.
At the Kamitou Shrine, Kiryu Yiyi stood at the door of the shrine, smiling and handing out the guard in his hand: "Thank you for reviewing, please keep it."
The short bird miko on the side looked at the shrine where more and more people were gradually coming in. She smiled happily and took out a bunch of dumplings.
"Kiryu-kun, do you want to eat rabbit dumplings?"
"I'm not hungry."
She picked up the water again: "Where's the drink?"
Kiryu first reached out, and under the surprised gaze of the little bird miko, he just grabbed her wrist holding the water, flipped it over, and revealed the price tag printed on the back.
1,000 yen for water!
Cruel enough!
"I brought my own water." Kiryu Yiyi was in a state of complete indifference.
Until the evening, the little bird miko reluctantly counted out 120,000 yen under the almost threatening gaze of Kiryu Ichi, and handed it to Kiryu Ichi.
"Don't look like you suffered a big loss, I only made 5%!" Kiryu Yiichi counted the money and put all the money in his pocket.
She is obviously a big-headed witch, but she is so obsessed with money that she seems to be a witch serving the god of poverty.
"Are you really not going to eat a bunch of rabbit dumplings? There is no charge for the rabbit dumplings."
After standing all afternoon, Kiryu Yiyi felt a little hungry, especially when he looked at the tearful miko: "Is there really no charge?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" She nodded vigorously, and quickly picked up a bunch of rabbit dumplings and handed them to Kiryu Yiichi: "Ah~~"
Kiryu Yiyi lowered his head and took a bite, a little surprised: "Spicy?"
Just then I saw a stupid hair on the top of the little bird witch's head stand up "thump!"
A price list was quickly handed to Kiryu Yiyi.
"Miko service fee: 5,000 yen, thank you for your review."
"Are you serious about serving as a miko?"
"certainly!"
"Then why are the prices so unfair! Believe it or not, I will report you to the police for special services here!"
"Pay the money, pay it quickly~" The little bird witch jumped happily: "Otherwise, it will be deducted from tomorrow's turnover!"
"You can't tell she's a woman in her twenties at all," she complained, and Kiryu counted the money reluctantly.
