Su Qi followed Mizutani into the videotape rental house.

The old shop is very cramped.

This reminded Su Qi of the days when he was in junior high school, when he often took the little pocket money saved by skipping meals and went to rent a game board in the small audio store opposite the school.

Five dollars can be rented for two weeks.

……

There was a Mediterranean-headed uncle who read the newspaper and listened to semiconductors in the store, who should be the owner of the store.

"Uncle Araki, I'm here to rent a videotape."

Mizutani looks like he knows his uncle well.

The Mizutani, who would call Hondo Teacher at school.,Mizutani, Hondo-san and Hondo-uncle.,There are acquaintances in the circle outside the school who feel different.。

Uncle Araki, the shopkeeper, put the newspaper and looked down, Mizutani, and Su Qi who was following behind.

"Boyfriend?"

"Classmates."

"The adult area is in the innermost row of shelves, secretly rent you, don't let your parents know."

“……”

"It's not!"

Mizutani has red ears and red ears.

……

Uncle Araki is an old fritter here.

is giving Mizutani an assist.

However, Mizutani usually seems to be very aggressive.,It seems to be a very full.,Very experienced girl.,Talking to girlfriends about boys.。

In fact, it's all protective colors, and she has a very thin skin, and she has zero experience in this area.

Ah, this kind.

Su Qi understands, he has seen a lot.

……

Of course, Su Qi didn't pay much attention to Mizutani talking to the shopkeeper, and after his attention entered the store, he was always involved in the horror entrenched in the store.

At the door of the store, there was a fat ghost squatting all over the body with a dead white body and a fat body full of fat.

He has long sparse black hair and a flat mouth and nose.

Small eyes that narrowed into a slit.

Confused eyes look at the store.

Motionless.

Like a lazy snapping turtle.

This is the only stylish ghost in the store.

As for the rest...... Su Qi couldn't say clearly.

……

On the shelves with various rental video tapes.

There was an eerie black smoke.

It's as if there's something in there.

……

He saw Mizutani go inside and picked up a video on the shelf.

The videocassette box is very old.

This kind of rental shop is full of old items.

A very classic horror movie.

"Uncle Araki, I'm going to rent this plate."

Su Qi's field of vision.

Mizutani's tape is filled with black smoke and ghosts.

This is clearly not a simple videotape.

……

Su Qi looked at Mizutani checking out.

He was quiet and sent a message to Andersen.

'What do the ghosts and gods in the tape say?' Is there anything to pay attention to in terms of behavior and logic? ’

'The ghosts and gods with the media as the carrier, the eating logic is generally not abnormal, but the behavior may be a little weird. ’

"Can I dodge it with my paintskin? Or let Miss Mary do it? ”

"Theoretically, yes, but I have a better suggestion, you might be able to get a professional and maybe get a divine object."

"What professionals?"

"A wise mystic who visited us the other day, she should be very good at this, I will send you the address."

Andersen sent the address.

Su Qi was stunned.

Such a coincidence?

No, when you think about it, it's not a coincidence.

Well, it's nothing to go and see.

……

Coming out of the videotape rental house.

"Shall we take it to the school tomorrow, I know there is a projector in the multimedia classroom."

This kind of old-fashioned videotape, which was played with a projector, is now no longer used in many homes.

"Let's see it today, we have to come out as soon as possible, don't we, and they still have to rely on this preparation in the props group."

"That'...... I...... I have ...... at home."

Mizutani whispered a little nervously.

"I know a place where I can borrow it, let's go there and see it."

Su Qi said directly.

Mizutani didn't finish his sentence and was interrupted, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was regret or relief.

The little girl obviously couldn't keep up with Su Qi's rank.

……

Su Qi took Mizutani and came to Akihabara Electric Street according to the address given by Andersen.

Found a video store: Cyberelectronics.

"Oh! It's you! Welcome! ”

The head store manager dressed as a rampant still remembers Su Qi.

The rough voice suddenly made a very imposing sound, which frightened Mizutani for a while, and he grabbed the corner of Su Qi's clothes in fear.

The momentum of the store manager's gang is still a little unbearable for an ordinary female JK.

Mizutani never thought that Su Qi was usually a good student in school, and he actually knew gangsters outside, and he seemed to be very familiar with them.

Mizutani's brain was a little scared.

……

"I'm looking for Hugo."

"Someone looking for me?"

Hugo sat on the swivel chair in the back room, retreated to a place where he could see the store, and saw Su Qi.

"Oh, it's you."

Su Qi took the tape from Mizutani and said to Mizutani:

"You're waiting for me here."

Then he went into the back room.

Leaving Mizutani under the imposing gaze of the store manager of the rampaging clan, pitiful, weak, and helpless.

……

Back room.

Su Qi and Hugo talked behind closed doors.

"Officially, Hugo."

Hugo said as he held out his hand.

"Su Qi."

Su Qi shook her hand.

"We met once, and it was a coincidence."

Hugo said.

This was a chance encounter when Su Qi came to Akihabara to make a fiction and set up a shrine.

"You're still looking into that shrine?"

Hugo asked.

Su Qi nodded quietly.

"You saw that too? Do you have any clues? I can pay for some information. ”

Hugo shook his head.

"I haven't figured it out either, and the shrine has been missing lately."

Okay, act, just act.

Su Qi was expressionless on the surface, but he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud in his heart.

……

However, Hugo didn't talk nonsense about the fact that the shrine was missing, because Su Qi took the initiative to sink all the shrines and sink to the Moho layer.

Recently, he has become more and more aware of the complexity of Tokyo's form.

From the Order of the Birds, the Tram Theater, and then to the current Séance.

The Kuromon Club has summoned its members to Tokyo.

It always feels like something is going to happen.

Scumbag experience, any slight abnormality, can be a sign of a great change, prepare to deal with it in advance.

So he let the shrine sink for the time being.

In this way, no one will find the shrine of the Tokyo god and the ritual of the great existence, and the hall of mystery will not be in dire need of newcomers for the time being.

Let's wait and see what happens.

……

"When you first saw me, you knew I was from the Black Gate?"

"After a little investigation, I learned that Kuroro had reopened its Tokyo branch, so I went to say hello."

Hugo sat in a swivel chair and spun in circles, bubble gum blowing in his mouth.

"After all, it's a mysterious person who is alone in Tokyo, and the hackers of our matrix are relatively loosely organized, and everyone plays their own games.

I felt that I could build a friendly relationship with Kuromon and we would cooperate with each other. ”

Hugo made her factional position clear.
