Kazuma: "Well, there should be a lot of other pre-requisites in love, right?" Dating or a trip for two or something. ”

Jinguji Tamamo looked up at the ceiling, tapped his chin with his finger, and thought for a moment before replying, "It seems that this is indeed the case." After constant dating, the two go on a trip together.

"As a result, the hot spring inn that booked the room didn't tell us, 'I'm sorry, our single room is full, can you stay in a double room?......'

Kazuma: "If this happens to the two of us on a trip, you definitely arranged it, right?" ”

Jinguji Tamamo smiled.

He Ma didn't wait for her to speak, and continued: "And the store will definitely serve super tonic dishes at dinner, what kind of soft-shelled turtle blood, snake meat, venison meat, hedgehog meat, it will definitely be like this!" I'm sure I'll have a nosebleed halfway through the meal! ”

"Ah, I've been recognized." Jinguji Tamama smiled, "Then you have to play the cards, if you travel with me, this will definitely happen." So don't say no. ”

Kazuma looked at Tamamo with a serious face: "I believe that when you really made this kind of invitation, we had already reached the state where the lovers above Yuda were not satisfied." In that case, I will definitely say yes. ”

Jinguji Tamamo: "It's so cunning, Wama." ”

"I'll take it as a compliment." And the horse smirked.

"It's a compliment." Tamamo also sneered, "Because I'm also cunning." ”

Without waiting for the horse to speak, she suddenly said, "Don't you really come to inspect the goods first?" ”

And Ma subconsciously glanced at her pectoral muscles.

When her gaze returned to her face, Kazuma suddenly noticed that she had a pair of fluffy cat ears on top of her head, and when Kazuma's gaze was clearly attracted, these ears trembled, just like a real cat.

Kazuma: "So cunning, Tamamo. ”

Tamamo laughed.

This kind of laughter is very similar to Mikako.

He Ma rubbed his hands: "Okay, I'll inspect the goods." I mean the ears. ”

Tamamo lowered his head: "Please." ”

Ears dangling.

He Ma was about to get up when he suddenly remembered something: "Your human ears are still there." Four ears. ”

Tamamo: "yes, isn't it popular to have four channels now?" ”

The latest home speaker this year is quad.

Kazuma laughed and got up and walked around the table.

**

Outside the dojo, in the corridor, Chiyoko crossed her hands on her hips and glared at Shigeru: "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you say that you were going to guard the dojo and not let people approach? ”

"Yes," Shigeru crossed his hands over his chest, and the bamboo knife stuck between his chest and arms, "but there are two entrances to the dojo, and I am only one person. If I were to patrol between the two entrances, there would be no space on either side.

"I think it's better to keep an eye on the only person in the house right now who might be going to peep."

Chiyoko: "You! ”

She wanted to say something, because what Shigeru said made so much sense that even she felt it made sense. So after a brief silence, she changed her story.

"Don't you want to see it?"

"I don't want to." Mao replied, "First of all, I'm bad before, and I've seen all kinds of scenes.

"Secondly, that's nothing to look at, really."

Chiyoko glared at Amao viciously: "I've read the book, it's amazing, will it be explained in such a clear way first?" What should I do if I insist on going to you? ”

As soon as the words fell, Chiyoko was about to break in, but Amao held down his shoulder with one hand and couldn't move.

"You let go!"

"Nope."

As soon as Chiyoko was ruthless, she used to flirt with her legs.

But Amo didn't move at all, and he didn't even mean to defend, so Chiyoko stopped herself.

"You didn't even react?"

"If I fight back, you'll get hurt." "And I don't think Master would blame me too much if I had struggled to hold on and finally collapsed." ”

Chiyoko glared at Shigeru and realized that he was ready to die heroically.

Chiyoko sighed: "I took it." So in your heart, Master is more important than me, right? ”

"That's right." Shigeru replied again.

"You'll hesitate for at least three seconds!"

"There's nothing to hesitate about, is it? After all, Master will definitely not let me do anything to be sorry for you, Xiaoqian, and in the future, I estimate that most of the tasks given to me by Master will be related to protecting you. So ......"

"Okay, that's enough!" Chiyoko interrupted Shigeru's words, "You master master all day long, is my brother Tang Sanzang?" You don't leave him for three sentences. ”

"No, Master can fight much more than Tang Sanzang, he should be Elder Sun."

Mao replied that "Journey to the West" was a rare reading he had read before he turned back from the bad prodigal son, and that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" had such a great influence in Japan.

Chiyoko sighed and said, "Let go, I'm going to take a bath." ”

"Haven't you washed it?"

"It's been blowing outside for so long and waiting for my brother to come back, what's wrong with me washing it again? What's wrong with Japanese girls who love bathing? ”

Shigeru: "You're Shizuka?" ”

"Yes, it's Shizuka, what's wrong?"

In the Japanese national manga "Doraemon", Shizuka Gen likes to take a bath very much, and every time Nobita enters her bathroom with props such as any door, she must be taking a bath.

"Okay." Shigeru let go.

Chiyoko went to the bathroom in a huff, and when she passed the dojo gate, she deliberately walked along the side of the corridor away from the door.

Shigeru followed him all the way to the restaurant.

Chiyoko held the doorknob of the bathroom, turned to Shigeru and said, "You're going to stay here all the time?" ”

"yes." Ah Mao paused, "By the way, according to my observation, the reporter of the weekly Fang Chun seems to have rented a house around the dojo that has not been demolished and squatted in it as a base. You don't want to go out of the window and walk around the yard halfway through the show, and you'll be on the cover of a magazine. ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Chiyoko opened the door and went in angrily.

Mao raised his eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief, then put the bamboo knife on the table and went to open the refrigerator to get barley tea to drink.

He was drinking, Chiyoko suddenly opened the door and asked, "Shigeru, what if I run out of the middle of the wash and peek at you from the house?" ”

Shigeru: "Huh? ”

Then he choked, and instinctively squirted out all the tea, and as a result, all the barley tea in the pot poured out and sprinkled all over him.

Chiyoko looked at Shigeru's embarrassed appearance, laughed, and closed the door contentedly.

While looking for a rag to clean up the mess he had made, Shigeru shouted, "Don't do this! Master will shark me! ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Chiyoko said inside, laughing out loud.

**

And the horse returned to his seat.

"So, you're not human?" He asked.

Tamamo gently wiped the ears on her head, and the fluffy pointed ears turned into hair and fell down.

She straightened the hair and replied, "It depends on how humans define it." I love the worldview you set for Anno-san so much, how to define humanity when the line between humans and machines becomes blurred.

"Actually, this question is very appropriate for me. My appearance is undoubtedly human, and horses you know this best now. ”

Kazuma nodded: "Yes." ”

"I've lived in human society for a long time, so the way I do things and think is all the human way. Based on the cyberpunk worldview you created, my 'soul' must also be human, right?

"I can pass the Turing test, which is the strictest in the world, without any obstacles."

Kazuma licked his lips: "This is one of the classic cores of cyberpunk, 'Do androids dream of electronic sheep', does AI that is no different from humans have a soul." ”

Tamamo: "So, father of cyberpunk, do you think I'm human?" ”

Kazuma: "Until then, I want to know how old you are. ”

Tamamo smiled, "Eighteen years old." Before last year, I was seventeen, but now I'm eighteen. One of the biggest differences between me and humans is gone. ”

Kazuma looked at Tamamo and quickly relived in her mind what she had said before, and a bold idea was born.

"Reiki...... I mean, the mystery is fading, right? ”

Tamamo just smiled and looked at Kazuma without answering.

It seems that this belongs to the part that cannot be said.

He Ma was about to change the question, but Yuzao suddenly spoke: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you have the ability to drive the thread of fate of many people, I don't know if you will give another bite to the mysterious side after you rush in to stir up the situation."

"I'm only eighteen years old, do you know how hard it has been for me to go to a convenience store and buy those magazines in a grand way for so many years?"

"Is that the point?"

He Ma complained accurately, which made Yuzao smile very happily.

After laughing, she suddenly changed her serious expression and said, "I, ah, want to grow old with you, and then one day, we are under the old cherry trees that can no longer bloom, watching the grandchildren play, and the sunset caresses our wrinkled faces......"

Kazuma: "In the distant sky, the newly built Federation starship is slowly rising into the sky. ”

"Wait a minute! Hey, it seems like that's not bad, but I'm going to change to a mechanical shell and play for another 500 years. ”

"You're five hundred years old, old woman (BABA in Japanese)."

"Eighteen years old."

"It's not five hundred, it's a thousand?"

"Eighteen years old."

Hema was about to continue to increase the size, but when he saw Yuzao's expression, he changed his mind: "Eighteen years old, cardamom years." ”

Tamamo: "Yes, cardamom years." Where did you just come from? ”

"Look, my memory is not good, grandma, I just talked about the Federation starship...... Don't throw books! ”

Kazuma grabbed the book that Tamamo threw at her and put it back in front of her.

"It's not good to hit the flowers and plants. Okay, okay, don't throw it away, I know, I'll treat you like a human being. Kazuma put the things he had just caught on the table one by one.

He Ma changed the subject: "So, you are actually the strongest in our dojo, right?" ”

"That's not right. On the western continent, the Taoist priests of Maoshan have been encircling and suppressing the ghosts since the Song Dynasty.

"And the good life of the gods and monsters on this archipelago has been a little longer, but from the time Nobunaga burned Mt. Hiei, the human race has been the stronger side.

"Iron cannons and large barrels have almost wiped out low-level gods and monsters. Obviously, in the past, only the strong men of the sword level could fight against them.

Later, the 46-centimeter cannon made by Wu's arsenal made all the yokai decide to retreat into the background.

"Well, B29 and Hiroshima's flashes made all the yokai decide to be ordinary people and quietly welcome the end of the gods."

He Ma heard quietly at the end, and suddenly found one thing: "So the strongest in our dojo is really you, right?" Nuclear bombs can make you an ordinary person! ”

"That was 25 years ago, and I was 17 years old at that time." Jinguji Tamamo said that there was no regret in her words, "As fast as human science and technology advances, so fast does the mysterious decline."

"For example, since the Apollo moon landing, I haven't seen Kaguya-hime again. I originally wanted to ask her for the Moon Palace Divine Medicine to beautify her face, but it is estimated that it will not have any medicinal effect, just ordinary pills. ”

He Ma looked regretful: "In this way, I thought that from now on I would have a thigh to hold, and I would have peace of mind." ”

"Don't be lazy! You still have a lot to do, Daystar. ”

Tamamo said.

She almost made Kazuma PTSD guilty when she said this, but fortunately she ended up saying that Daystar was not a "doctor".

He Ma shrugged: "I probably understand the big framework of the world." ”

"If only you understood." Tamamo looked at Kazuma and suddenly sneezed, so she hurriedly buttoned the collar, "It's still a little cold, now." Is there anything else you'd like to ask? ”

"I met Heisenberg, who was probably the key figure in this serial murder case. I kind of doubt he's your kind...... Like-minded. ”

"Oh?" Tamamo looked very interested, "You mean, he's a priest?" Monk? There shouldn't be many youkai like me anymore. If you're a little monster, even survival is a problem, so it's probably not something to be afraid of. ”

He Ma thought about it, and the monsters he had seen before were basically entries, probably those were not real monsters, but his golden finger used the characteristics of monsters to tell himself the characteristics of those people's souls.

The "anti-pope" entry above Heisenberg's head is probably a similar situation. After all, whether Heisenberg is now the same kind of tamamo is still a question mark.

After careful consideration, Kazuma asked, "How much do you know about tarot cards?" ”

"Tarot cards? Topics related to fate? "Tamamo's comprehension speed is a little terrifyingly fast," Or is it that this opponent may have characteristics that can guide fate? ”

Kazuma: "Characteristics that guide fate? You also said before that the fate of me and Beichuan is intertwined, isn't it ......"

Tamamo shook her head: "I can't predict the future, not everyone. Because whether it is fate or the future, it is constantly changing. ”

And the horse listened to her quietly.

"However, the amount of changes that each person can cause in the future is different, and some people toss to the end, and can only helplessly find ......"

Kazuma: "Ordinary is the only answer?" ”

"Yes. For these people, fate is predestined. But others, they have some kind of internal motivation, I prefer to use the phrase of the Soviet camp, subjective initiative.

"These people can change their own destiny and even the destiny of others. In the past, when the mystical power was strong, we could find these 'children of destiny' through stargazing, but recently it has become more and more difficult to find.

"I'm lucky, I've been playing the eldest lady of the Jingu Temple family all these years, and after playing the eldest sister and the second sister, I kept changing schools, and after three years, I ...... again."

When Hema heard this, he finally managed to endure the strong desire to complain in his heart.

Infernal Affairs is so widespread that the lines are almost engraved in the DNA of Hema.

Jinguji Tamamo looked at Kazuma warmly: "Then I met you, you changed your own bleak fate, changed your sister's bleak fate, it is foreseeable that you will change the fate of more people, I have not seen such a bright star for a long, long time." ”

"So you came to me."

"So I came to you." Jinguji Tamamo responded bluntly.

Kazuma: "Got it. But off topic, I'm afraid it won't do much good to this god of music event. Let me ask another question. What do you think, as far as you know now, what is the chance that this blue pill will have a mysterious side ginseng to merge in? ”

Tamamo tilted her head slightly: "It's hard to say, because psychology is booming now and is replacing things on the mysterious side, and the boundaries are very blurred."

"This blue pill may be dyed cod liver oil, but it has achieved the effect of guiding a breakthrough through hints."

"The fanaticism of the people besieging us may also be just an incitement effect, a kind of Keqi, right?" ”

"Yes." Tamamo nodded, "Recently, when I was serving tea and water at a meeting of some big people, I heard some interesting sayings. The KGB is actively promoting the progress of psychology on the mysterious side, and they have used this method to create super soldiers. ”

Kazuma immediately thought of the "Winter Soldier" in American comics, but to be honest, Kazuma never thought that the Winter Soldier looked like a super soldier anymore, and where could a person who took an M4 sweep around be super enough?

Kazuma didn't know if there was already a Winter Soldier in the American comics of this era, so he complained about another point: "Are you really just going to serve tea and water?" ”

"Really." Tamamo smiled slightly, "I know what you're thinking. However, the Jinguji family has long spread the saying that 'our daughter will be dedicated to the gods in the end', so no one will come to propose marriage, and those things that you imagined will not happen, after all, it is a poor girl who will disappear after the age of 20. ”

And Ma: "But actually, it's you back and forth?" ”

"Yes, it's all me." Tamamo laughed as she spoke.

And the horse fell backwards, on the wooden floor of the dojo, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling.

"At the end of the day, I still don't have a clue."

"It's not completely clueless, at least it's certain that there is an instigator or even a group of demagogues who are well versed in psychology behind it," Tamamo said, "and it's not unlikeliable that someone from the mysterious side is involved." By the way, what if...... I mean if! ”

Kazuma propped up his upper body and looked at Tamamo half-lying down, waiting for her to continue.

"If you suddenly find yourself in a strange place, and you don't seem to be able to get out of here," Tamamo looked at Kazuma with a serious expression on her face, "Then you remember to sing the "Pass Song" that I sang to you. Singing this song may not come out, but it will make me find you. ”

Kazuma: "Sure enough, there is still power on the mysterious side." ”

"It's an urban legend." Tamamo waved his hand.

Kazuma: "Why don't you teach me a few more spells?" ”

"Your sword is stronger than the strongest spell." "Destiny's child doesn't need to use all those bells and whistles. If you can't solve the problem, then there's nothing I can do. I'll just clean up the mess for you. ”

Kazuma had a suspicious expression on his face, and he remembered many things at once, such as when he was in Osaka, after the incident ended, Tamamo chased a cat to the morgue, and now combined with her words......

Kazuma was about to ask for clarification when Tamamo stood up, came to Kazuma's side, and lay down parallel to him.

She looked over and bent her arm under her head.

With the movement of the sideways, the curve of her body changes shape with gravity, and it naturally stands out.

"Want to make sure?" She asked softly.

Kazuma: "Just make sure once." Let's get down to business! ”

"It's because you don't have enough energy, right?"

Hema: "This time, I don't think it's that simple, I feel like Heisenberg can't be found by the police for a long time...... What are you laughing at? ”

"Nope. Get down to business, don't look at me. ”

"Okay, down to business. What I'm worried about now is whether there will continue to be people spreading this blue pill and then causing more and more victims to appear. ”

In fact, if you don't find the victim in the refrigerator continuously, you don't want to care about it, after all, it's just that the fans of a certain band are fanatical, it's nothing, just if there is a local Elvis Presley in Japan, it's over.

But when someone dies, the nature is completely different.

Yuzao said: "I think that this time they are so big, they must have lost URB, a chess piece that has been in business for a long time." Even if you lose a piece, you have to stop you from breaking into the URB's practice room, indicating that your assault has hit them in the sore spot.

"The next thing is to see if the police can find anything after dawn when they get the search warrant. Even if the search is empty, I think you have already inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, at least disrupting their deployment. You can be complacent. ”

Kazuma: "You're right, but I don't know what to do after that. With this experience, the other party should be wary. Now that I think about it, I'm so stupid, I actually walked to the other party's singing room with Beichuan Shaxuli so swaggeringly.

"I should have snuck over to the address — or walk through the roof."

"I don't think that's a bad thing. It's very good to be able to deepen the relationship with Kitagawa Shaxuri, I have divined her, her life star is a little dim, and it may be extinguished in the near future. I think if you fail to do anything, you will regret it in the future. ”

Kazuma looked at Yuzao seriously: "Is this true?" Dim life? ”

"Remember, I'm only talking about possibilities. Maybe she will meet other children of destiny who can change her fate, or maybe she herself suddenly awakens her courage.

"After all, the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage."

He Ma was speechless, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked: "Can I write a song that is super awesome and change her fate?" ”

"Probably not." Tamamo adjusted her posture slightly, getting closer to Kazuma, "Changing your fate is not a simple matter, think about everything you have experienced before." ”

Kazuma closed his eyes and thought back to that rainy night a year ago, when he carried 21 bamboo knives on his back and challenged his fate.

Think about the night when the most important turning point in Amao's life happened, everything that he and Amao and Amao's father went through.

Sure enough, it is not easy to change your own destiny or the fate of others.

"Rest assured." Tamamo's voice drilled into the horse's ear, "Your fates are entangled, and there will be a time for you to intervene in the future." Until then, just meditate and prepare. ”

Kazuma opened his eyes just in time to see Tamamo standing up from his side.

"Why did you run away?" And the horse asked.

"I'm done with what I'm going to say, I'm going to read a book. I'm really interested in the following episode. ”

Kazuma: "You...... Am I not as good as books to attract you? ”

Yuzao waved his hand: "Good, go take a bath, sweat stinks." ”

He Ma sniffed himself and said, "Not only does it smell of sweat, but it also smells of engine oil." Okay, I'll go take a shower. ”

He stood up and walked straight out of the dojo into the hallway.

Looking down the corridor towards the kitchen, I happened to see Chiyoko standing in front of the refrigerator drinking barley tea in a heroic posture.

"Huh? Dude, are you done? ”

"You're right, we're just talking about business."

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

He Ma ignored his sister's words and asked Shigeru who was brushing his teeth and washing his face in the bathroom: "Is the water hot?" I'm going to take a shower. ”

"No problem, the water I just boiled, only Xiao Qian has soaked it." "I'll do it right away." ”

After saying that, he quickly completed the rest of the steps, took his toiletry and walked out of the bathroom.

Kazuma took off his coat and walked to the bathroom.

I'm tired tonight, and I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

After all, tomorrow is another day.
