Episode 112 The Present World
When I saw the girl coming out of the bushes, I couldn't help but be surprised, and I thought it was Yakumo Murasaki's guy chasing after me!
She is similar to Yakumo Purple, but not like God.
However, it's really amazing! There are people in the world who are so similar to that crack monster, I wonder what kind of expression Yakumo Purple will show when she sees this girl?
I'm looking forward to it!
"Who are you?"
Maelupelle looked at the man in a daze, the other party was dressed in a robe worn by ancient people, as if he was from another world.
But that's not what she cared about.
She was sure that it was the first time she had seen each other today, but what about that weird feeling?
"Melly, don't run so fast, wait for me! Damn, these stinky vines keep haunting me, alas!"
Hearing anxious shouts behind her, Maailubelli looked back and saw Usami Renko holding her head and stumbling out of the woods.
"Are you alright?"
Finding that her clothes were torn in many places, Maalubelli was a little worried and quickly ran up.
"Ah, I'm fine. ”
Usa was stunned for a moment before replying. She seemed to see someone over there just now, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
She glanced around the pond earnestly, but there was no one else but the two of them.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing her looking around with a strange expression, Maalubelli couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I thought I saw someone standing there, but all of a sudden it was gone. ”
Usa saw Renzi scratching her head and said suspiciously.
"Huh?"
Maalubelli hurriedly turned to look, and sure enough, as she said, there was no one behind her, and the mysterious young man standing by the pond had gone away at some point.
It seemed a little incorrect to say that she had gone, because she didn't hear any noise behind her at all, and the other party seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Melly, do you see what the other person looks like?"
The time was too short, and Usami Hasuko didn't see what the other party looked like, but Maailu Belle came earlier than her, so she should know what that person looked like!
"Nope. ”
Maelubelle shook her head, thinking about the origin of the strange sensation and forgetting to observe the person.
"It should be a man, though. ”
"Men?"
The two of them looked at the turquoise pool, and suddenly felt that this ordinary forest suddenly became strange......
After working for a long time, but finding nothing, Maailubelli and Usami Renko were disappointed, and after resting enough, they were ready to go home.
"Melly, could it be 'the one' we just met?"
"What's that?"
The companion had been silent for so long, and then uttered such inexplicable words, that Maelubelle could not understand for a moment what she was trying to say.
"That's it, the legendary ghost. ”
Usa saw Lianzi look around for a while, and then leaned over and whispered.
"Ghosts?!"
Maalubelli looked at this guy in surprise, how could this guy think of that kind of thing?
"yes, maybe it's the ghost of the former priest of the broken shrine!"
"Impossible, how can a ghost appear in the daytime. ”
I don't know if it's the ghost Maalubelli, but it's certain that it's not the priest in the shrine. That man...... Let's call it that way, the clothes he wore were not the clothes of the priests at all.
"That'...... If it was a human, why did he suddenly disappear?"
"I don't know. ”
In fact, she still has some ideas in her heart, such as the so-called "Shen Yin".
"Anyway, it's definitely a paranormal phenomenon. ”
Usa saw Renzi waving her right hand excitedly, and their "Girls' Secret Seal Club" had finally seen the real supernatural event with their own eyes.
This also shows that they can finally move from pure theory to practice!
Congratulations, congratulations.
"Beep......
A long whistle suddenly made the faces of the two members of the secret sealing group who were still walking beautifully change.
"The train stopped at the platform. ”
"Damn, how did you arrive early. ”
Maaru Belle and Usa let out a panicked scream when they saw Renko, and they ran towards the platform at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, both of them usually exercise regularly, and finally ran to the car before the door closed.
But they were all so tired that they almost wanted to lie down.
"Whew, I...... I felt like I was going to die. ”
Maai Lubelli only felt a fire in her throat, and hurriedly took out a bottle of mineral water and drank a few sips, and then handed it to Usami Renzi.
"It's all your fault, if you weren't walking so slowly, you wouldn't be like this. ”
There is only one bus a day to return to this place, and if they miss it, they will have to walk back.
Or spend the night here.
But either way, it's scary to think about.
"There's no way, if you walk too fast, you'll be sweating all over. ”
Usa saw Renzi pour all the water in the bottle into her stomach, and only then did she feel that she had finally come back to life.
"It's really inconvenient like this, I think we might as well buy a car!"
"Do you have any money?"
"No, but you can do it. ”
"No kidding. ”
Maalubelli couldn't help but roll her eyes, this guy was beating his pocket money idea again.
"Stingy. ”
Usa pouted when she saw Renzi and took the lead in walking towards the inside of the carriage.
The seats in the carriage were as empty as they had been in the morning, and there was no one ...... Hey, there's a guy here.
"Why don't you leave?"
Seeing that she was stupidly blocking the entrance, Maelubelle pushed her.
"There were people in the car. ”
"Fool, isn't it normal for someone to be on the train?
Although the number of passengers on this route is very small, it is not completely absent!
Maalubelli looked over and saw that there was indeed someone sitting in the right seat in the middle of the carriage, but because she had her back to them, she couldn't see each other.
"That's right. ”
Usa saw Lianzi scratching his head, and he also felt that he was too worried.
"No. 23, No. 23...... Huh!"
She searched down the seats one by one, only to be surprised to find that she and Maelubelle's seats were directly across from the man.
It was a young man who was older than them, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black trousers underneath, and was holding a map and reading it with relish.
"Lotus seeds. ”
"Oh. ”
Usa saw that Renzi came back to her senses, and hurriedly walked to the window and sat down.
Maalubelli sat down next to her and took off her hat.
"By the way, I almost forgot!"
Usami Hatsuko also quickly took off her hat and put it on her thigh.
The trees outside the window slowly receded, and the train began to move forward.
At this time, the young man sitting across from them finally raised his head.
I didn't expect there to be a train passing by at the bottom of the mountain, which was really helpful, and I originally planned to fly over!
But since you have a car to sit on, you don't have to be so troublesome.
Also, I found a map of the city I was going to in the car, which was great, and it was exactly what I needed right now!
Sensing someone sitting down on the other side, I looked up and saw two young girls looking at me.
Hey, aren't they the two little girls I saw in the woods behind the shrine?
Oh, I guess I'm going to go back!
"Ah......h
The girl who looked like Yakumo Purple suddenly screamed, causing her companion next to her to immediately look at her.
"What's wrong? ”
"No, nothing. ”
Maalubelli hurriedly lowered her head, and then secretly looked at the person opposite. There will be no mistake, he is the man who mysteriously disappeared before. Although she changed into a modern outfit, she still recognized it at a glance.
It's just a little strange that the original sense of familiarity can't be felt now, is that just my own delusion?
It seems that if you don't figure this out, you'll always be thinking about it.
"Sir, where did we meet?"
Maelupelle hesitated, but couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, Melly, ...... you"
Usa saw Renzi's mouth open wide, what was wrong?Why did his friend take the initiative to talk to a stranger?
Seeing the blonde girl ask, I was stunned for a moment.
"Nope. ”
I shook my head and replied.
"Really?"
Although she had a hunch that she would receive such an answer, Maelubelli was inevitably disappointed.
"Hello, my name is Maelobeli Hearn, and I am a university student from Kyoto. ”
She bowed, then gestured to her companion.
"This is my friend, Hasuko Usami, who is from the same school as me. ”
"Please advise me when we meet for the first time. ”
Usa saw Renzi bend down and saluted.
I hurriedly returned the gift.
"Please advise, my name is Dongfang Yao, and I am a traveler who is traveling all over the world. ”
Travelers who travel between worlds, to be precise.
"Hey, so you're a foreigner!"
Usa couldn't help but scream when she saw Renzi, no wonder, she always felt that the other party's Japanese sounded weird.
"Hmm. ”
I smiled and said that I was a foreigner, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
"Since you're a traveler who travels all over the world, you must have been to many places, right?"
Usa saw Renko leaning forward a little and asked with interest.
Although today's world is quite technologically advanced, college students like her can't run around!
Traveling around the world is a dream.
"Well, a lot. ”
"That's nice, world travel or something. ”
"Actually, it's not that good. ”
"For example?"
"This ......"
I suddenly felt embarrassed, there are many places I have been, but not here! I don't know most of the outside world, where do I know what to say.
However, Usami Renko looked at me with a hopeful face, and even the silent Maailubelli showed curious eyes.
In the end, I was defeated by their burning gaze.
It seems that the science of the world has developed to a very high point, and the train is moving so fast, but you can't feel the slightest bump at all, and if you can't see the scenery outside retreating rapidly, you may not even be aware that the car is moving.
The train went very fast, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the station in the city.
Seeing that the train was slowing down and gradually coming to a halt, I quickly stood up.
After all, it didn't make these two curious girls suspicious. But if I continue, I really can't guarantee it.
Anyway, the destination has arrived, so let's get out of the way!
"Hey, are you going to get out of the car?"
"Well, I've arrived. ”
"Really? That's a shame. ”
Usa saw that Renzi was a little regretful, it was rare to meet someone who could talk so happily, but he didn't expect to be separated so soon.
But there was no way, they wanted to go back to Kyoto.
"Goodbye then. ”
"Goodbye. ”
I waved to them and got out of the car.
Usa sat down when she saw Renko stand up and look through the window at the other person's figure disappearing from the crowd.
"Lianzi, you seem to have a very good impression of that Mr. Dongfang!"
Maalubelli smacked her on the shoulder.
"Yes, it's rare to meet someone who is so funny, and not much older than us, but so knowledgeable. ”
Usami Renko replied honestly. The hair is a little long, but it feels even more different.
"Hmm. ”
Maalubelli did not deny that such an interesting and well-informed young man was really too rare.
"But we've actually met this guy once!"
"Is there one?"
No matter how you think about it, Usami Renzi only remembers that she just met that Dongfang Haruka.
"Hmm. ”
Maalubelli nodded affirmatively.
"It's in the woods behind the shrine. ”
"You mean...... The ghost?......"
Usa saw that Renko's look at her friend was not joking, and immediately screamed.
"What we saw just now is obviously a living human being!"
"I don't know, that's why I haven't spoken. ”
Maalubelli spread out her hands, helpless.
"Let me think about it. ”
Usa saw Renko close her eyes and ponder for a while, then suddenly stood up and put her hat back on her head.
"It's useless to dream, just go and ask that guy. ”
"I don't think it's possible. ”
"Why?"
"Because the car is already driving. ”
Maalubelli looked out the window, feeling like she couldn't laugh or cry.
"Eh......"
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
After wandering around the town for more than half an hour, I finally felt that this place was not much different from the cities I had been to before, except that there were many people, but it was too noisy.
The streets are full of noise, which is intolerable for me, who likes to be quiet.
As I walked, the sounds around me gradually subsided, and I realized that I had unconsciously reached a neighborhood on the edge of the city.
The neighborhood is very secluded, and apart from a group of imps passing by, there is no one else.
"Huh?"
I suddenly noticed that there was a mobile ramen stall in front of me, and I remembered that I hadn't had lunch yet, so I just went there to find something to fill my stomach.
I took out a 1,000 bill, which I picked up on the street and is now in good use.
Walking briskly, I pulled back the curtain of the ramen stall and sat down.
The stall owner was an old man, white-haired and white-bearded, who seemed to be very old, but he still looked very energetic.
"Boss, come to a bowl of ramen, remember to add more soup. ”
"Okay, please wait. ”
The old man was very skilled, and it didn't take long for a bowl of fragrant ramen to be placed in front of me.
"Please take your time. ”
"You're welcome. ”
The ramen is delicious, especially the soup base, which has a special and somewhat familiar taste.
"What's wrong, guest, doesn't it taste like it?"
The boss saw that I suddenly stopped my chopsticks and was in a daze, so he asked.
"No, I always felt like I had eaten something like this somewhere. ”
"Hehehe, that's impossible. I've lived in this town for many years, but it's the first time I've seen a guest!"
The old man smiled proudly, his ramen was very famous here, if he didn't want to, he might have been able to open a large ramen shop with this.
"Hmmm......"
I took a sip of the soup and tasted it, and a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.
"By the way, I remember, that silver-haired half-spirit imp made something that smells like this. ”
"What?"
The old man's hands trembled, and the spoon fell into the pot, but he did not rush to take it out, but looked at me with a blank look.
"The half-spirit ghost that the guest said, is the name called Soul Demon Dream?"
He asked me anxiously.
"Well, it seems like that's the name. ”
I reminisced for a moment before replying.
"What, do you know her?"
"It's true. ”
The old man wiped his hands with a rag and steadied his feelings.
"The old man's name is Soul Demon Jealousy, not someone else, it is the grandfather of that Soul Demon Dream. ”
