Chapter 98: Suspicious Characters

"It's time to go down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ami has already left all of this instruction in the so-called practice secrets, and if she is lucky enough to enter the initial mental state of a practitioner, I can be regarded as another force for Miss Kanako's cultivation method.

Once I had regained enough strength, I took Miss Ami down and instructed Fran to drag her owner down from the roof as she was.

"It's scary to do it again!" The female high school student patted her small chest and said.

"Ahem, you're right this time, I'm going to fall off at any time......"

"What mud!"

"Uh, kidding, kidding."

"Master Alice......

"It's awkward, call me Alice."

"Nope! There is an old saying that it doesn't seem right to be a teacher for one day and a father for life......

"Don't misuse old sayings."

"In short, you are my eternal master!"

"Ah, okay, but you have to wait until you can really get started before you talk about what the master is not a master, even if you get started...... Well, without further ado, it's not good to dampen your enthusiasm. ”

"I've been struck!"

"Going up and going down is a completely different sense of horror, and there is no safety in any way!" On the other side, Miss Maruko, who took a few breaths and said that she had eased up, "I don't have any thoughts about learning to fly now, Yami-san is so brave." ”

"Uh, hey."

"Oops, I seem to have forgotten a very important process," I said to Ami with a pat on the head, "Although it is too late from a ritual point of view, I would like to ask your heart according to the ancient rites, because of the test I sent to the door just now...... Ahem, because the study of the teachings ignores the preposition. ”

"What else? Ancient rites? ”

"Just like what kind of master selects the true transmission among the apprentices in the Taoist hall, you have to investigate or ask the disciple's heart, whether he follows the ideas of the school, or whether he follows the moral concept of the master himself."

"Huh?"

"Of course, we don't have such trouble, not to mention that even if I am still a little short of half-baked as a master, let's replace those meaningless ancient rituals with a question," At this time, I glared at Fran who was trying to make trouble with her eyes, she definitely didn't care or even heard of the rituals and etiquette of oriental cultivators, if it weren't for the exchange of life experiences with Miss Kanako and Miss Satoru successively, I wouldn't have been able to understand anything, and even today I didn't dare to claim to know, "That night, the night I met you and the boy named Ah Cheng, I've not only used flying spells, but also small spells like hypnosis and optical invisibility, are you really only interested in 'flying' and eager to learn how to fly? What about anything else? Didn't you even think about learning? To be honest, compared to flying, hypnosis and invisibility are as simple as geometry is to differential geometry. ”

"I thought about it...... But I feel that those 'little spells' of Master Alice are useless to me, at least 'flying' is free! Something else, uh, spells, I don't know what to learn, the moment I met Master Alice again, I just thought of asking you to teach me the one I wanted the most, if I ask too much, I feel like I'm going to be disgusted immediately......"

"Huh? The idea is surprisingly simple," combined with the unreliable mind-reading technique, I nodded in basic agreement with her statement, "I don't think you are likely to become a superpowered criminal who endangers society, okay, okay, so I don't need to pay more attention to your side, I'm really busy." ”

“…… Please, Master, don't say it so directly, it's hurtful. ”

"Really?"

"Ahem, yes," Miss Maruko leaned over and whispered, "to the few of you Gensokyo I've seen, it seems like you're talking too directly." ”

"Yes, yes, that's how it should be," I said, "otherwise you lose the meaning of distinguishing yourself from the outside world." ”

“……”

Jingle bells, jingle bells...... The sudden noise made the four of them look at each other, and then I remembered that it was the beep of an email from my messenger - it was like an old telephone ringing.

The "uh......" email is from Edo Kawaichi and is not long: There is a suspicious person visiting the Daigo Dojo. A clueless hint that neither told me the general information of the suspicious person, nor did he give follow-up advice, could it be that Uncle Edogawa meant that he felt that he couldn't handle the situation, so he had to go to Masako's house in person?

However, it seems that there is no obvious conflict, otherwise I should not have received an email message, but a call for help from Uncle Edogawa, or simply an after-the-fact announcement.

"Live again?" Miss Maruko's reaction to me seemed to be familiar with me.

"Ah...... It may not be a serious matter, anyway, it seems that I can't stay at your house tonight, whether it's urgent or not, I'd better go early, Miss Ami, this is my phone," sent Ami a thought with a phone number, "But if there is no urgent problem above the magnitude 9 earthquake, it should be solved by your own strength, and asking for help from outside the field will not help much to learn to fly." ”

"Okay, okay." The female high school student was a little nervous, "Well, is Master Alice going to do something dangerous?" ”

"Eh, if I have the chance, I'll tell you a story, so you can go home and don't worry your family," said goodbye while planning the route in the map in his head, "Miss Maruko and Fran-chan don't play outside too late." ”

Swapping back for Fran's grimace and the owner's ellipsis, I glanced at the phone's time and battery, twenty-one and seven, sixty percent, not too late, it should be enough for me to rush to solve the problem, and the communication tool should be able to hold out until the next time I have time to recharge.

To be on the safe side, before entering the subway, I called Uncle Edogawa.

"Good night, Miss Fran," his voice was unusually tired, as if he had done bad things all day, "it looks like you're planning to rush to the dojo." ”

"I'm on my way, what the hell is going on, can you be specific?"

There was a heavy drowsy voice from there, "Ah, that's right, my informant just sent me surveillance video and a report, and at 9:05 a woman who looked like a high school student knocked on the door of the Daigo Dojo. ”

"There's a female high school student in that family, so it's not going to be a mess to report to me, right?"

"Of course not, it was the little girl you told me that needed to be protected, her sister had already returned home in the morning and had not been out for a day, and the little girl did not know the woman who came to the door at 9:05."

"Not her sister's classmates?" I don't seem to have revealed Masako's information to Uncle Edogawa, so his informants didn't notice that Masako had been injured and had healed.

"There was a wave of visiting classmates in the afternoon, and the squatting guard had ruled out the suspicion of her sister's classmates, and the girl who came to the door just now judged from her dress and mental outlook that the classmates who came to visit in the afternoon did not look like a person from the same school, nor did she look like a person from the same school."

"And she's a youkai?"

"I can't judge just by looking at the video materials, although my person is very observant, he is just an ordinary person, and he can't judge a demon or a human, but the visitor also has an obvious characteristic, her right foot has signs of disability, and there should be an injury somewhere between the calf and the soles of the feet."

"Because it's hard to judge, you're a little suspicious, so you can blame me for the trouble?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be dangerous anyway, I've checked a lot of places and a lot of people all day, and I need to rest for a while, so I'll ask Miss Fran to take a look for herself."

"Ah, okay, okay, it's my own trouble, it's enough for my uncle to provide me with surveillance, I'm going to go over, I'm going to enter the subway, I'll see you back."

There was another heavy drowsy voice, "I'll see you later, I need to get some sleep." ”
