Chapter 34: The Monster on the Wooden Bridge

"Ichiro-san, tell me the follow-up story!" Kumi cried and cried, looking very anxious.

Ichiro Reed chuckled, took a sip of tea, and continued.

In the end, the White Snake and the male owner reunited and came together again. They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, no longer care about the red dust, and live a life of male farmers and female weavers. ”

After Ichiro Reedi finished speaking, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He sipped his tea and continued to look out the window.

"In this world, I'm afraid that only the dragon well she soaked in can be regarded as a real dragon well. When will I be able to drink another cup of tea she made? Ichiro Reed sighed.

Hearing that the ending of the story was quite satisfying, Kumi shed tears again.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Kumi and Ichiro Reed walked out of the mall building.

Kumi held Reed Ichiro, put her head on the other party's shoulder, and looked closely, there were faint tears on her face.

After listening to the poignant love story, she is obviously much more docile.

"Kumi-chan, where are you going next?" Ichiro Reed stopped and asked, looking down.

Kumi looked up at Ichiro Reed, and quickly said, "Let's go to Kabueda-cho!" ”

"Well, okay!" Reedichiro squinted and smiled.

He didn't have any opinions.

Kabuedacho is one of Tokyo's entertainment centers.

It is also the largest red-light district in Tokyo and is world-renowned.

There are various cinemas, video game halls, bars and much more.

From late night to dawn, the crowds are endless, and it is a standard city that never sleeps.

However, because of the youkai thing.

This city that never sleeps has become a city of darkness!

Because of this, Kabueda changed its strategy and adjusted its business hours to daylight.

It opens at nine o'clock and closes again until the time of the devil.

When Kumi and Ichiro Ashishie came to Kabueda-cho, it was the peak of integrity.

In front of the various dance halls and bars, there are beautiful women standing in twos and threes, dressed in revealing clothes.

They held LED panels and shouted loudly.

"Come in, sir! Our performances are guaranteed to satisfy you. ”

"Sir, we have performances of copper smelting, amateurs, bondage, etc. here..."

“…”

I have to say, it's very lively.

If there are no yokai, it will be even more lively when night falls.

Walking into the crowd, the atmosphere is even higher.

I can't tell that it's affected by youkai.

It didn't take long for the figures of Reed Ichiro and Kumi to quickly disappear into the vast sea of people.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

In Kabueda, shops begin to close much earlier than usual.

No way, the recent disappearance is in this area.

Officials issued an announcement this morning, confirming that the disappearance case is related to the monster.

Therefore, in Kabueda, you can see many onmyoji and monks.

In the vicinity of Kabueda, there is a wooden bridge.

On the wooden bridge, Kumi is taking pictures of the surrounding scenery with her mobile phone.

After an afternoon of shopping, her depressed mood was relieved.

"Ichiro-san, let's take a group photo!" Kumi looked at Ichiro Reed expectantly.

"Okay, Kumi-chan!" Ichiro Reed did not refuse, and calmly put up his scissor hands.

"Hahaha!! Ichiro-san, you pose good soil. Kumi clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.

"Is there something wrong?" Reed Ichiro looked at his scissorhands, "It's not old-fashioned!" ”

"Forget it, so be it." Kumi put away her laughter and suddenly slipped into Ichiro Reed's arms.

Kumi pays great attention to the photo with Ichiro Reed, and has been adjusting the shooting angle.

But after a long time, she has not been satisfied.

"If I had known, I would have brought out the selfie stick." Kumi bowed her head and sighed.

At this moment, there was a brisk footstep on the wooden bridge.

Da-da-da-da!

The frequency of footsteps is fast.

At this time, Kumi was concentrating on the shooting angle, while Ichiro Reed was paying attention to his scissor hands.

I didn't pay attention to the footsteps behind me.

Footsteps approached quickly.

Boom!

There was a dull thud, followed by the sound of someone falling.

When Kumi heard this, she poked her head out and turned her head to take a look.

I saw a long-haired woman in a kimono lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Kumi immediately got out of Ichiro Reed's arms.

"Anon, excuse me... You okay? Kumi walked up to the long-haired woman, crouched down and asked.

The words fell.

The long-haired woman shook her body and immediately stood up.

She looked at Kumi and gave her a smile.

Because the woman's hair was not tied up, her long hair was draped down, and half of her face was covered.

Kumi couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing why the other party was smiling at herself.

In addition, she felt that the other party's smile was very weird, and it felt creepy.

Kumi subconsciously took a few steps back, pulled the corner of Reed Ichiro's clothes, and patted him.

"Ichiro-san, Ichiro-san," Kumi called out softly.

"Kumi-chan, what's wrong?" Ichiro Reedi turned around and looked down at Kumi.

Kumi made a look, pointed to the left front, and whispered: "Ichiro-san, there is a woman there, it's very strange!" ”

"Really?" Ichiro Reed touched his head suspiciously and looked over.

I saw that the woman was standing slightly bent over, her neck leaning forward slightly.

The half-covered face, with a weird smile, was facing Ichiro Reed.

Looking at it like this, it's weird and scary.

"Ichiro-san, why don't we go!" Kumi said again, feeling a little scared inside.

"Oh!" Ichiro Reed blinked, his gaze away from the woman opposite.

Soon, they left the wooden bridge.

As she walked a hundred meters away, Kumi tried to look back.

But I don't want to, the long-haired woman hasn't left yet.

And, the direction where her face is facing is still where Kumi is.

Kumi only felt a chill in her back, and immediately turned her head and held Reedichiro's arm tightly.

"Kumi-chan, what's wrong?" Ichiro Reed asked with concern.

Kumi said in a low voice, "Ichiro-san, did we bump into a youkai?" ”

Reed Ichiro smiled: "Don't be afraid, there is a god next to you, and no youkai can hurt you." ”

He didn't answer Kumi's question directly, but even a fool could tell that the long-haired woman on the wooden bridge was a youkai.

Kumi is already smart, and of course she understands it.

The thought of the smile on the woman's face made her feel a pang of fear.

But there was one thing she couldn't figure out.

As far as she knew, youkai contained demonic energy, just like a person with perfume on his body.

Although ordinary people can't feel the demonic energy, those onmyoji and high monks can.

As soon as the monster appeared, they must have noticed something.

However, things are not what they think.

The monster on the wooden bridge can appear in human society before the time of the demon, and there must be some way to hide the demonic energy.

Besides.

Kumi speculated that the disappearance of Kabueda Town in the past few days must be related to her.

Thinking of this, Kumi immediately stopped, her eyes were firm, and she had a strong sense of justice.

"Ichiro-san, let's go and expose the true face of that monster!" Kumi clenched her fists, and a hint of determination appeared on her face.

"Oh?" Reedichiro looked at Kumi lightly, and wanted to refuse.

But after receiving the other party's honorarium, he had to agree.

They walked back to Kabueda-cho.

By this time, most of the shops had closed their doors, and the pedestrians on the street had become twos and threes, ready to leave.

Kumi saw a few onmyoji in hunting clothes in front of her, and immediately pulled Reed Ichiro and walked over.
