Yamanashi Prefecture.

The last time I came to Kitagawa Temple was during the Golden Friday month, and this time it was in late June, the height of summer.

As the so-called seasons bring different feelings to others, Kitagawa Temple naturally felt different when they came to Yamanashi Prefecture this time.

Not to mention the future of Kamiya, who is still looking around, and there is a little anxious friendship in his expression.

"It's half past twelve... Otomo, is your friend's sister ready? Kitagawa Temple glanced at the time on the phone screen and looked back at Otomo.

He and Kamiya Mirai have already put their luggage away, and they can go to meet the sister Inuzuka next.

Although the luggage was put down, Nishikujo Poor and Kagura Suzu Kitagawa Temple still carried it with them.

After all, as good spirits, they also have a certain ability to perceive good thoughts and evil thoughts, and if the other party lies, they can also detect it through Nishikujo Pity or Ma Gong Eternal Life.

"Please wait a minute." Otomo took a deep breath and took out her phone to call Inuzuka's sister over there.

After a period of discussion and greetings, she decided the place and time of the meeting, and then looked back at Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai: "Youxiang said that she was ready... The agreed location has just been decided, and it is the family restaurant where I used to meet with friends a lot. You can go now... What do you think? ”

Inuzuka Yuka, this is the girl who is going to meet at Kitagawa Temple this time.

"Then let's go now."

There is no place to hesitate at all, and Kitagawa Temple originally came here to see Inuzuka Yuka.

"I see. Then please go this way. ”

Otomo bowed his head, and then stretched out his hand to signal Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai to follow.

Since Kitagawa Temple doesn't like to talk very much, only Kamiya Mirai and Otomo Ai discussed in small voices along the way.

But this situation did not last long, and the agreed family restaurant is not far from the guest house where Kitagawa Temple lives, and it is only a five-minute walk away.

Otomo was obviously very familiar with the family restaurant, and she walked inside with Kitagawa Temple, and soon the three of them saw the short-haired girl sitting alone on a long chair in the dining room.

"There is incense!" Otomo raised his hand and said hello.

"Sister Ai."

The short-haired girl sitting on the edge of the soft chair obviously saw that Otomo loved them, and she also stood up and said hello to Otomo.

A few people went over and formed a table.

"A little bit of an introduction."

Otomo Ai turned sideways and briefly introduced Inuzuka Yuka: "This is Kitagawa Temple, and this is Kamiya Miku, both of them are my seniors in the school, and they are also here to help solve your brother's incident." ”

Inuzuka Yuka got up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai, and introduced himself:

"Kitagawa seniors, Kamiya seniors, it's nice to meet you, I'm Inuzuka Yuka, and I'm really sorry for the two of you to worry about my brother's affairs."

That being said, Inuzuka Yuka actually doesn't have any hope for the future of Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya, which Otomo invited over.

It's not that she has any ill feelings about Kitagawa Temple or Kamiya Future, but she simply feels that no matter how many people she invites over, she can't figure out the truth about her brother's death.

After all, this involves the legend of the curse prop in Yamanashi Prefecture, the 'Calamity Box'...

It's already involved in the weird talk, but what can just a mere high school student do?

If the cold noodle demon king that is circulating among the colleges and universities in Tokyo comes... There might be some hope for that.

Thinking of this, Inuzuka Yuka patted her face vigorously.

No way.

Others are already not too troublesome, and they are still picking and choosing here, which is already a loss of hospitality, since the other party wants to know some secrets about his brother's death, then he will tell them the truth... That's it.

Thinking of her deceased brother, Inuzuka Yuka's originally godly eyes dimmed a lot.

But soon, she noticed the soft touch on her hands.

Inuzuka Arika looked up in surprise.

She noticed that at some point, the Kamiya-senpai had covered the back of her hand.

With a reassuring smile on the other party's face, Inuzuka Yuka felt that the sadness in her heart had faded a lot just by looking at it.

She nodded gratefully at Kamiya Mirai before she spoke: "Actually, there is a lot of information about the cause of my brother's death, and the police have also hidden a lot from the outside world, and there are many internal information that only our family knows..."

"But these things involve my brother's privacy, and it's a little inappropriate to say it on the phone, so I asked my sister to meet me in person, so I can tell all the reasons for the matter."

"So what is the reason for what you said the police were concealing?" Kitagawa Temple raised its own questions.

In this regard, Inuzuka Yuka's answer was also very simple, she took out the pale yellow envelope from her satchel:

"This is it."

"Is this...?" Otomo took the pale yellow envelope in confusion.

Otomo's confused voice made Inuzuka Yuka's body tremble.

She took a deep breath, as if to calm her agitation:

“... Note. This is my brother's suicide note. Because it's a personal item... And the content above... Anyway, you'll know if you've seen it. ”

Since Inuzuka Yuka said so.

Naturally, Kitagawa Temple will not be polite.

He pulled out the white letter and swept his gaze.

The suicide note was covered in scribbled handwriting.

Seeing these handwriting crawling like earthworms, Beichuan Temple couldn't help frowning.

It's weird.

Because no matter who it is, the handwriting of the suicide note should not be so sloppy.

After all, the suicide note symbolizes the end of a person's life, and even if it is not taken seriously, the handwriting should not be so sloppy.

To use a more popular analogy, it is-

This suicide note from Brother Inuzuka looks like someone is standing behind him with a knife and forcing him to write it quickly.

In fact, the content of the suicide note also proves the conjecture of Beichuan Temple:

'The curse of the Calamity Box is true, and Calamity kills Fukada. That brutal way to die... It must be the curse of the Calamity, right? Come to think of it this way... I should be the next person, right? ’

'I don't regret using the Calamity Box, because that guy in Fukada... That guy... It's great to be able to kill him. ’

'But... The real feeling of death is really approaching me step by step. I can perceive... I can feel it! Something is around me! ’

'When you open the cupboard, it's in the cupboard!' ’

When you open the drawer, it's in the drawer! ’

Even as soon as I close my eyes... You'll find out... It's in my head! ’

'It's coming... Here it comes... It's getting closer...!! No way! No, no, no, no! I can feel it, it's right behind me right now! It's watching me! I don't dare look back! ’

'I'm sorry, but there is incense, and there is father, mother...'

This is the end of the content of the suicide note.

It's just that the word 'mother' has not been written, and behind this unfinished character, there is a slender black line that wakes up and moves.

This suicide note was not completed.

It should be Inuzuka Yuka's brother who noticed that something was approaching him, so he wrote it in a panic.

The twisted and rapid handwriting made Otomo and Kamiya Mirai feel chills all over their bodies when they looked at it.

But—

Beichuan Temple, whose face was expressionless throughout the whole process, closed the suicide note.

His heart didn't fluctuate, and he even had the energy to think about something else.

Why did Inuzuka Yuka's brother use the Calamity Box to curse Fukada?

What exactly is the contradiction between him and Fukada?

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Temple couldn't help but raise his head and turn to Inuzuka Yuka: "There's something I want to ask Miss Inuzuka..."

Well?

Kitagawa Temple raised an eyebrow.

Because he noticed that Inuzuka Yuka's gaze seemed to be looking at him all the time.

And it's a bit of a daze?

Beichuan Temple subconsciously touched his face, and after not finding anything dirty, he reached out and knocked on the table:

"Miss Inuzuka?"

"Huh?"

Inuzuka Yuka finally came to her senses.

"There are some things I care about, I hope you can tell me."

Kitagawa Temple said in a steady voice.

"I'm sorry... Kitagawa senior, excuse me. ”

Inuzuka Arika coughed twice embarrassedly.

But her eyes were still looking at Kitagawa Temple from time to time.

To be exact... She was looking at the neckline of Kitagawa Temple.

There is a small puppet hanging from the neckline of Kitagawa Temple.

Because the position of the puppet is very conspicuous, Inuzuka Yuka saw it at the beginning.

Of course, Inuzuka didn't care about it at first, after all, there are a lot of quirks in this world, and he can't be classified as a weirdo just because Kitagawa Temple has a small puppet hanging on the neckline...

But—

When scanning the contents of the suicide note at Beichuan Temple, Inuzuka Yuka inadvertently found it.

That Muppet... It's moving.

It seems that it has been hanging at the neckline, so the puppet is a little tired, and the round calves are twitching.

But... Will the Muppets get tired?

Inuzuka Yuka couldn't help but rub her eyes and looked over again.

Just as she was concentrating, the voice of Beichuan Temple rang out again.

"Miss Inuzuka?"

"Huh?!" Inuzuka Arika came back to her senses in a daze.

She quickly understood the current situation, her face turned red, she hurriedly stood up, and bowed to Beichuan Temple several times in a row:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Kitagawa senior, I was distracted just now. I didn't hear you clearly. ”

Kitagawa Temple waved his hand absentmindedly:

“... It's okay. Then I'll say it again. I want to ask what kind of contradiction your brother has with Fukada, and even let him use the Calamity Box to curse Fukada. ”

Hearing this, Inuzuka Yuka's face, which was still full of apologies, changed suddenly.

Her originally apologetic expression became a little gritted teeth, and there was a slight unkindness in her tone:

"That's it... The affair between Fukada and that woman... Those two bastards..."

Inuzuka Arika clenched her fists tightly.

What happened between Fukada and that woman?

Kitagawa Temple's eyes flashed.

Just by hearing this, he already roughly understood what was going on.

After all, there is only one thing left that can make high school students have so much hatred between them, except for school bullying, and that is-

"Romance issues."

Kitagawa Temple muttered to himself.

Yes.

According to Inuzuka Yuka, it is nothing more than Inuzuka's girlfriend who broke up with him and threw herself into Fukada's arms instead.

Then the love affair turned into pure murderous intent...

In anger, Inuzuka uses the Calamity Box, and along with Fukada, is sent to that world by the effects of the Calamity Box.

"In fact... It was that guy who went to seduce Fukada first. I've heard from before that the woman is often entangled with other boys, and I used to say it when my brother was looking for her as a girlfriend. ”

Inuzuka Yuka's eyes were shining with tears:

"Brother, he is actually at fault, that woman is not a good thing in the first place, but he still has to use that kind of curse prop for that kind of woman."

Seeing that Inuzuka Yuka's emotions were a little out of control, Kamiya Mirai and Otomo Ai also came to her in time and comforted her softly.

On the other side, the Beichuan Temple is thoughtful.

Inuzuka Yuka's words, it is equivalent to pushing all the clues to Inuzuka's girlfriend.

As a girl who once mediated between Fukada and Inuzuka, what kind of information does that girl have?

Maybe Inuzuka's girlfriend has a clue to solve the current mystery.

Thinking about it this way, the next goal is very clear -

Find Inuzuka's girlfriend and ask her about the situation.

Kitagawa Temple looked at Inuzuka Yuka, who was hiding his face and sobbing, and quietly waited for the other party to control his emotions.

Almost seven or eight minutes later.

Inuzuka Yuka finally held back her tears, her eyes were red as she looked at Otomo Ai and Kamiya Mirai, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Ai, Sister Future, I'm worried about you." ”

I don't know what kind of ecstasy Kamiya Miku poured into Inuzuka Yuka in the future.

The other party directly called her her future sister when she opened her mouth.

And this kind of terrifying interpersonal skills is estimated to be only available in Kamiya Future.

"Oops, where, where. After all, I understood the feelings of losing a loved one for a while. ”

Kamiya Mirai smiled and took Inuzuka Yuka's palm, and at the same time gave Kitagawa Temple a look quietly:

"If you want to ask anything, ask now, Temple-kun."

Receiving this look, Kitagawa Temple nodded silently, and then asked, "Miss Inuzuka, I wonder if you can tell me anything about your brother's 'ex-girlfriend'?" ”

"Uh..."Inuzuka Yuka turned her head and looked a little hesitant: "It can be, but... Kitagawa senior, if you go to that woman and ask about it by ordinary means, it may not work at all. Because she..."

Inuzuka Yuka's face was embarrassed.

"What's wrong with her?" Kitagawa Temple narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that Inuzuka Arika's brother's ex-girlfriend also died?

If that's the case... It's some...

Just as Kitagawa Temple was thinking like this, Inuzuka Yuka over there finally spoke:

"Because that woman... Now there's a girlfriend with a well-known bad school boss in the neighborhood, and I want to ask her for questions... It can be difficult. ”

Bad boss?

As soon as they heard this, Kamiya Mirai and Otomo Ai both subconsciously looked at Kitagawa Temple.

Then there was no silence.

Well...

Bad students in front of Kitagawa Temple...

Belch... Okay, right?
