"Mr. Sayou, have you heard of the urban legend of [Rift Girl]? At that time, elementary and junior high school students across Japan were in a panic because of this urban legend, such as the police cars in Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture and Hiratsuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture for this purpose, and the collective dismissal of schools in Kushiro City in Hokkaido and Shinza City in Saitama Prefecture. ”

"Why all of a sudden? The urban legend of the Rip Girl is that the Rip Girl would often wander around the school gate and ask the child, 'Am I beautiful?' ’。 If your child says, 'Beautiful,' she will take off her mask or scarf and ask, 'Will I be beautiful too?' Then he forcibly took them and killed and ate them. If the child says, 'It's not beautiful,' she will get angry and eat the child right away. Probably that's the kind of content, to be honest, I don't believe much in urban legends, I always feel that they are as false as myths. ”

"Also, in 1979, there was a 25-year-old woman in Himeji City who played a prank and pretended to be a rift girl to scare people, giving people the feeling of 'Ah, someone must be pretending!' This illusion. And I heard that if you carry hair wax with you, the smell of hair wax can scare away the rift girl, and there is also a saying: When the rip girl asks you if she is beautiful, answer 'ordinary' and run away while the rift woman is confused. Or answer 'I'm Tanaka's friend' so that you can also be let go by the rift girl. ”

"In any case, urban legends are just simple urban legends, and they are as unreliable as oral traditions...... So, what is the reason why Miss Iya suddenly brought up this topic? ”

"It's not that there is any specific reason, but Sayu-sensei, don't you know why urban legends appear? Urban legends are the same as mythological stories, mythological stories are generated by faith, and urban legends are born of jealousy, I wonder if Sayou-sensei knows this? If I had to give one reason, it would probably be because the journey was too boring. Now we have the same destination, I'm going to [NG Animation Club] to find a teacher, and Mr. Sayu is going to work at [NG Animation Club]. The interests are aligned. No, no, the interests are inconsistent, but the destination is the same, my interests are not necessarily the interests of Mr. Sayou, for example, the interests of Mr. Sayou from behind~"

That's no longer a benefit, but a direct personal attack.

However, for the urban legend of "Rip Girl", it is said that Rip Girl was a big beauty before she died, and one day when she went for plastic surgery, she kept moving because she smelled the smell of wax on the doctor's head. As a result, the doctor accidentally cut her mouth on both sides, and the woman, seeing her disfigured appearance, angrily killed the doctor and left. Later, because the citizens thought she was a monster and died in the chaos, she finally became a monster and a kind of storage zài.

"By the way, since you've brought up this topic, I want to know, is the hero of an urban legend like [Rift Girl] a monster? After all, they're all the kind of elusive beings......"

"Mr. Sayou's thinking is really interesting, and there is really something wrong with his brain. Sorry, the latter words are redundant. As for whether the protagonists of urban legends are monsters, I'm afraid it should be counted. To put it bluntly, the protagonists of urban legends are youkai. After all, for people, the people who can do what humans can't do are gods and monsters, and the rift girl in [Rift Girl] is probably not very beautiful. Then you will be taken for granted as a youkai. Because a lot of times, everyone sees the beautiful as good and the ugly as evil, doesn't it? Obviously, there are a lot of good-looking people who are not good-looking. For example, those savior bodhisattvas in hell, ah, refer to those fat bodhisattvas. ”

Fat Bodhisattva. Isn't that a sarcasm for you?

But Sayou won't be bored to grasp this point, the important thing is his own question just now.

According to Iya, there is a high chance that the Rift Girl who is not very good-looking will be regarded as a youkai, so it should be classified as a youkai.

Think about it, after all, those monsters like fox spirits who deceive humans are all very beautiful-looking beings, and there will be no monsters with strange looks to deceive humans.

But if the Rip Girl in [Rift Girl] is classified as a monster, then can the urban legend be called a monster legend?

After all, what is the reason for the creation of urban legends? I guess most of them are pranks, and it's a prank in the city to attract the attention of others.

"Sayu-sensei, do you know the two urban legends of [Telephone Mary] and [Hanako of the Toilet]?"

"Don't underestimate me, I know a little bit about everything. The former is about a man named Mary calling you, first downstairs, then at the door, then inside the house, and finally in the urban legend behind it. I remember that this urban legend was also used in a film called "The Ghost Fairy Event Book!" In the plot of the 3rd GA Bunko Awards, Mary is a cute girl, and of course, as long as you look back and see Mary, don't kill it. ”

"I've heard of that light novel, so let's talk about the back, which is the story of [Hanako in the Toilet]. The basic skeleton of this story is that if you call in a certain way in the school's girls' toilet, there will be a sound from a girl (i.e., Hanako) in the toilet where no one is in the first place. Later, word of mouth passed on, and although the details varied from school to school, Hanako's appearance was most commonly described as 'a traditional school girl with a long red dress'. Maybe it's a cute girl.,After all, people nowadays will sprout all kinds of things.,Or that's what creators need the most.。 ”

Hanako in the Toilet has been circulating since the 1950s, and by the 1980s, Hanako in the Toilet had become a household name in Japan, and since the 1990s, it has been the subject of movies and animations.

Sayu has seen the content of [Hanako in the toilet] in several comics, and the Hanako in it are quite cute.

Especially the comic of the same name "Hanako of the Toilet", but the content is not scary at all, but it is a very beautiful short comic of the love type.

In addition, Sayu has also seen the somewhat strange manga "Double Ponytail in Love", and if you have time, I really hope to recommend someone you hate to watch.

By the way, although I don't hate Iye, I recommend it to her another day, "Double Ponytail in Love" may make Iye update his perception of comics......

"It's good to be cute, but blindly being cute and describing it as cute will definitely cause aesthetic fatigue, which can't be denied. Could it be that Miss Yiye, you also have that kind of pure girlish heart? I'm sorry, but in my opinion, Moe Hua is just the beginning, and more important is the description of a character and the portrayal of the surrounding scene. (To be continued......)
