"Whew......... I'm back again........."

Standing at the station, Fang Zheng, who once again turned into a red ponytail, stretched his waist. And at this time, a curious voice came from behind her.

"Is Miss Red Ponytail also from Misaki Town?"

"No, it's just that this place feels like home to me, and it's nice to come back once in a while."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head helplessly.

"Also, don't call me Miss Red Ponytail, I just said call me Xiaohong."

"That......... So......... Miss Xiaohong........."

"Hahh..............."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. In front of her at this moment was a girl with waist-length black hair, with a fair face and blue eyes, wearing a school uniform and a suitcase in her hand.

This girl is Fangzheng's companion on the way——— Tono Akiba.

Like Kuroki Shion, she is also a student of Fiore. According to Fiore, the original Tono family was also one of the big families in Misaki Town, but the patriarch of the previous generation, Nagano Shinhisa, died early, and Tono Akiba, as a daughter, had to face the situation of being surrounded by relatives of the Tono family and dividing up property and status very early.

It was at that time that Fiore found her and ensured her safety in the name of the Thousand World Trees, and after that, Tono Akiba also entered the Rei Garden as a boarder. And now it happens to be summer vacation, and since Fang Zheng is coming to Misaki Town, then the two of them happen to be on the same road.

It's just that compared to the flowers who are always full of confidence, Tono Akiba seems quite well-behaved and even a little introverted, for example, she has been using honorifics to Fang Zheng all the way, and even now it has not changed.

"Forget it, you're going home, right, let's go, I'll go with you."

"Huh? But ........."

"It's nothing good, but send the Buddha to the west, it's all here, by the way, let me see your house."

"Ah......... It's ........."

In the face of Fangzheng's toughness, Akiba seemed a little overwhelmed, but she was not disgusted. So Fang Zheng took Akiba to find a taxi, and then went to the location according to the address Akiba said.

It's just that after arriving at the place, the scene in front of him was a great disappointment to Fangzheng.

"You're going to live here?"

Looking at the mansion in front of him, Fang Zheng pursed his lips. The mansion in front of me is quite big, but it doesn't look popular at all. Not only that, but the overgrown courtyard shows that it has been abandoned for quite some time.

"Yes, after that......... Everyone left, and I was left alone........."

"Aren't you afraid to live alone in such a big place?"

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Qiu Ye's body suddenly trembled, and she didn't need to answer, Fang Zheng probably thought that Qiu Ye wanted to return to the Gift Garden at this time. Although the internal environment of the Rite Garden is relatively strict, at least there are friends who don't go home during the holidays, which is much better than staying alone in this haunted place.

By the way, the flowers are going home soon, and according to her, she is going back to spy on a certain stealing cat and keep her from getting too close to her brother.

"Me, I'm all right......... by myself"

That's what I said, but it doesn't look like that at all.

"That's not going to work."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng grabbed Akiba's hand.

"Huh?"

"How can you live alone in a place like this, and what if it's haunted? Let's go, I'll take you to a good place, at least it's more popular than here. ”

"This ......... That ........."

Faced with the sudden invitation, Akiba seemed a little overwhelmed.

"What kind of hotel is it?"

"The hotel still costs money, but it doesn't cost money over there, but the three meals have to be taken out, but it's better than here......... Come on, come on. ”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pulled Akiba into the taxi again, and then said the address.

Hearing that address, the driver suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.

"Miss, it's almost evening, there's ........."

"I'll give you double the car money!"

"Okay, let's go!"

So it makes sense to say that money can make ghosts grind.

When he arrived at his destination, it was already late at night, but Fang Zheng stepped forward without hesitation and pushed the door open.

"Solomon, I'm back!"

With Fang Zheng's shouting, I saw that the originally dark bungalow suddenly became brighter, and then, a girl with short black shoulder-length hair dressed in black quietly appeared in the shadows of the foyer.

"Little Red."

"Yo, there are beads."

Looking at Youzhu standing in the shadows, Fang Zheng smiled and waved at her, while Youzhu glanced at her, and then shifted his gaze to the girl who was standing behind the red ponytail, nervous and a little nervous.

"Ah, I, I'm Akiba Tono, it's the first time we've met, and I want to give me a lot of advice."

Sensing Youzhu's gaze, Akiba lowered her head a little uneasily and saluted her respectfully. But Youzhu just glanced at her and looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Aoko?"

Fang Zheng glanced left and right, she still thought that when she came in, she would meet Qingzi shouting "noisy" while coming out, and then she would be able to play her a song of love, but the result was ......... Did that idiot get smarter, too?

"She went to university in Tokyo, and she called back and said she was going to do a field trip or something, so she didn't come back."

"So you're alone? It just so happens that this little poor person is also a person, and she also went home for the summer vacation, but there is not even a ghost in that big house, and I can't stand it, so I pulled her to you. ”

"Yes."

In the face of Fang Zheng's words, Youzhu just nodded, but she didn't even look at Qiu Ye, just stared at Fang Zheng.

"What about you?"

"Me? Because of some things, I'm going to stay in Misaki for a while longer, so I'm still going to stay with you. ”

"Yes."

The same answer, but I don't know why, Akiba always feels that the tone of the last sentence seems to be much softer than before.

It's just that after saying this, Youzhu turned around and left directly, while Akiba stood in the entrance in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while. After all, generally speaking, at least the host has to arrange the accommodation of the guests, it's not so arrogant, but isn't it better to do this? In case there is any taboo, or if it disturbs the master's secrets.........

"Alright, let's go."

Fang Zheng grabbed Akiba's hand.

"I happen to have a bed in my room, so you can sleep in the same room with me."

I see.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

"Alright, let's go."

As soon as he finished breakfast, Fang Zheng slammed the table and stood up, Youzhu was unmoved, and Akiba was startled.

"Where's the go?"

"It's better to go shopping in Misaki than to stay here, and as I said, I still have something to do in Misaki Town......... Do you want to come with a bead? ”

“…………………”

Youzhu shook her head while taking a sip of black tea.

"Where's the autumn leaves?"

"I ............"

To be honest, Akiba is not the type to go out of habit, but she can also feel that she is a little out of place with this girl. The other party is not hostile to her, but simply ignores her, which makes Akiba have a feeling that even if she dies here, I'm afraid this girl will treat it as if she didn't see it.

"That......... I'll go too. ”

"Okay, let's come along."

Fang Zheng didn't care, although Tono Akiba was just a girl, but she was also a spellcaster like flowers. It's just that unlike flowers, Autumn Leaves' cast level is not high enough. Flowers have reached the level of the fourth ring in the spells of the plastic energy system, but Akiba has only reached the third ring——— and it is still an illusion system.

This time, Fiore let herself come back with her, more or less because she had to take care of her students. After all, as a mage, all you need is to travel thousands of miles, and this world is not like the main world, you can just go to a village and fight the goblin and other things there to gain experience, and it is impossible to go to the cemetery and ruins to explore the mysteries and undead.

This is normal, each world has its own different practices.

Since there are no little monsters in this world.........

Let's take her to fight the vampires.

Misaki Town is still a lively place, at least walking on the streets, you can feel the warmth and vitality.

"That......... Miss Xiaohong? Where are we going? ”

"Go clean up the vampires, I've seen monsters once before, you haven't already, isn't that fair? I'll take you to meet the vampire this time, so when you go back, won't you have some material to brag about? ”

"Huh? Hey?! ”

Hearing this, Akiba suddenly cried out in surprise.

"I, me? Vampires, talking about the Dead Apostles........."

"Who knows, let's see how it goes."

After arriving in Misaki Town, Fang Zheng was already vaguely aware of the darkness and flowing atmosphere of death contained under this lively, vibrant street.

There are monsters that have infiltrated the city, and there are more than one.

Whether there is that Elt Luqi's sister among them, Fang Zheng is not very clear, but as long as he follows the way, he should be able to have any clues.........

"This way."

At this moment, suddenly, Fang Zheng beckoned to Autumn Leaves, and then the two came to a rather dim alley.

"This is ........."

"Shh

However, before Akiba could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Zheng. She shook her head, then looked ahead, and sighed.

"Tut-tut, that's an exaggeration."

"Huh?"

Akiba was slightly surprised by Fang Zheng's emotion, but before her eyes could adjust to the dimness, a more pungent smell awakened her spirit.

That's not the rancid smell of garbage, that's even more disgusting.........

The breath of blood.

"Woo........."

At the same time, there was a low roar like a beast.

Immediately after, a man appeared in front of the two of them.

It was an office worker, judging from the suit he was wearing, it should be like this, but now his whole person looked like a zombie in a horror movie, tattered, covered in blood, he let out a low scream, and slowly walked towards Fang Zheng and Akiba.

"The lowest zombies......... I'm not interested......... Would you like to give it a try? ”

Fang Zheng looked at the autumn leaves beside him, but the girl at this moment was obviously stunned. This is also normal, obviously outside is a lively, bustling shopping street, full of pedestrians. As a result, it was just a thin line, and what appeared in front of him was darkness, blood and death that he had never imagined.

No, it's not that I didn't expect it at all, after all, I grew up in Tono, and I also have that kind of blood in my body.

However, this is the first time I have actually faced it.

Belonging to the Tono family, and the darkness of this world.

"I ..............."

However, just when Akiba made up her mind to speak, suddenly, a voice came.

"Be careful!!"

With this voice, the next moment, a white figure suddenly fell from the sky.
