Just an hour after the murder at Kyoto University's Manga Society, in a mansion in Kamigyo Ward, not far from the university, four prominent figures in the Toei manga and novel world stepped into the house.

"Sakaki-kun, why did you suddenly let us all rush over, could it be Akiko-sensei ......?"

The leader entered the living room first, and asked a white-haired young man standing in the hall waiting for their arrival.

"Auntie, she is fine, and she is still working in the 'Yin Yang Liao' today, please rest assured, teachers. ”

Wearing a white shirt and tie, Sakaki Sakaki opened her mouth and replied.

"That's good......"

Another petite woman with long hair patted her chest in a wide heart.

"Then Asagami Sakaki you came to us for ......?"

Next to the woman, an obese middle-aged man asked suspiciously.

"Because just an hour ago, there was a murder at Kyoto University's Manga Society, and Orihime's cousin was there at the scene. ”

The expression on Asagami's face became more and more awe-inspiring as the words were spoken, and his words also made the four people in front of him suddenly change color.

"Damn! It must be them! I knew they would do it sooner or later, but they did it to the innocent Miss Orihim......e!

"Sakurai-kun, calm down! Haven't we ever considered this happening," the fourth man, who had not spoken until now, scolded the obese middle-aged man, who wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an elite white-collar worker with a successful career.

"As President Takao said, fortunately, we had already formulated a countermeasure to prevent the actions of those guys two months ago, and my aunt had also specially summoned Master Michiman for the safety of Orihime's cousin to tell her good fortune. ”

"So that's the case?Since Ms. Akiko has already arranged for this, Miss Orihime must have survived this incident safely, right?" The fat man Sakurai, who seemed to care about Orihime Asakami, asked repeatedly.

"That's why I suddenly asked Yukawa-sensei, Sakurai-sensei, President Takao, and Akiko editor to rush here immediately.

It's just because of Cousin Orihime's current situation, I can't be sure of life or death alone. I can only follow the explanation given by my aunt when she entered the 'Yin Yang Liao' five days ago, saying that once something happens that I can't decide, I will ask you for help as soon as possible!"

Asagami rubbed her bloodshot eyes and said with a tired look.

"Why can't you even determine the life and death of Miss Orihime?, what nonsense are you talking about?!Isn't Miss Orihime prepared?!"

"Sakurai, shut up for me!We all know you're worried about Miss Orihime, but since Asakami Sakaki is in a hurry to come to us at the teacher's orders, there must be something we need to do. ”

"It's about Miss Orihime, Sakurai, you need to be calm now. ”

Even the petite female editor Akiko said out loud.

"What is the current situation of Miss Orihime? You say that you can't determine her life or death, what is the matter, Sakaki-kun?"

President Takao asked Asagami with a solemn face.

“…… An hour ago, Orihime's cousin was indeed killed in the Kyoto University Manga Club, and she was supposed to be a 'demon' sent by those guys. ”

Asagami pressed a remote control that had been in his hand for a long time, and the big screen in the living room lit up in the blink of an eye, and then on the screen were live photos of the living room on the third floor of the Comic Painting Society.

"It's completely unrecognizable that it's the parlor on the third floor of the Manga Society, and the entire room has been completely destroyed, so it can't be man-made. ”

Asagami Sakaki said as he slowly enlarged the photo to the other four people, and everyone's expressions were extremely ugly, and the fat man Sakurai was even more hideous.

"In addition to Cousin Orihime, who was the victim, there were four other people who should have been at the scene at the time, and here are their pictures-"

I saw that the student photos of Yuko Ando, Egawa Shota, Tajima Shinji, and Fang Ye appeared on the screen.

"They are the new members who have passed the recruitment assessment of the Comic Painting Club today, and according to the practice of the Comic Painting Society, Cousin Zhiji will meet them in the living room on the third floor to talk. This habit is very clear to you as a former member of the club, such as Mr. Yukawa and Mr. Sakurai. ”

"Yes, so the murderer chose to do it at that time? he may have infiltrated the scene, or the murderer was among them. ”

Among the four, Tang Chuan, who is a well-known Benge mystery novelist, immediately spoke up.

"There is no investigation yet, but there is a survivor at the scene, that is, Fang Yingye, a student from China, but he is still rescuing at the moment, and he can't know the situation from his mouth. ”

"I don't want to hear you say this, you just said that Miss Orihime was killed there?, but you said earlier that you can't be sure of life and death, what the hell is going on?!"

"Sakurai-sensei, have you forgotten that Cousin Orihime is already a voice actor for a new character in your aunt's work?"

"Do you mean the voice actor of the big demon 'Nine Lives Cat Again' who just appeared in the drama "Onmyoji" not long ago? Could it be that Miss Orihime, the ability she got is ......!"

President Takao frowned and thought deeply at first, and then as if he had thought of something, he exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, the nine-life cat again, the cat has nine lives, Cousin Orihime is the role voice actor of her aunt's miracle work "Onmyoji", and what she got was the life of the big demon cat. ”

Sakaki Asagami said this, and his tone became a little complicated, "Everyone present knows the miracles created by the manga and novels in this world, and the voice actor who can serve as a miracle has a certain chance of getting the ability of the character he matches, even if it is only one in ten thousand. ”

"So this time in the murder incident, you said that Miss Orihime was indeed killed, but she didn't die, and now she may be in some kind of unknown state of life and death?"

"Exactly. ”
