Early in the morning, in a pharmaceutical company in Rice Flower Town, a young girl with short wavy brown hair was about to walk into the door of the company's laboratory.

The girl wore a high-necked burgundy close-fitting sweater and dark gray jeans, and a beige coat over it.

Seeming to be a little sleepy, the girl yawned and walked to the door, and was about to enter the code to open the door, but two black figures were reflected on the glass door.

The girl, who was still a little confused, suddenly came to her senses.

When he turned his head, he saw that at the corner of the intersection, two men in black coats and black hats were looking at him with a cold smile.

One of them was a tall, muscular man with long silver hair, and the other, a burly man slightly shorter than the silver-haired man, wore a pair of sunglasses.

Seeing the appearance of the two, the girl's expression changed slightly, turned around completely, and asked, "Let's go now?" ”

"That's right."

The silver-haired man sneered and said, "Time is running out, we have to arrive by tonight, so let's go, Sherry." ”

There is no doubt that the silver-haired man and the burly man turned around and were about to leave, the girl frowned slightly, and she was a little helpless, but she still followed.

Outside the pharmaceutical company, a black Porsche 356A is parked here.

The silver-haired man sat directly in the co-pilot's seat, while the burly man turned the back of the driver's seat forward, allowing the girl to sit in the back seat, and then sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Sitting in the car, the girl didn't say a word, and the silver-haired man looked at the girl's expression through the rearview mirror of the car, revealing a cold smile.

"What's wrong? This can be regarded as tourism, so why bother with such a sad face. ”

The silver-haired man said in a gloomy tone.

"Or is it not that if you are not with your sister, you will not be happy?"

Hearing this, the girl's expression changed slightly, and the silver-haired man continued, "I heard that you have been meeting your sister a bit too much recently. What, is there anything you want to discuss with your sister? ”

"What's wrong? Do you even have to take care of this? Gin (gin)? ”

At this point, the girl still couldn't help but speak out and replied coldly.

"No, just wanted to remind you."

The silver-haired man Gin said coldly, "Your duty is to complete the research of the drug as soon as possible, if the process is delayed because of something, you know the consequences." ”

"I have my own measure for this kind of thing."

The girl said lightly, "It's you." How can you investigate such a thing as a longevity woman, and you still need to be driven out of the horse? Is the organization trying to tie people back? ”

"We each have our own tasks, just take care of yourself."

Gin said, "We only have one day, and we'll be back tomorrow." After such a short period of time, I wonder if you can solve the mystery of the longevity of that longevity woman? When the time comes, we won't have the heart to care about you. ”

"Since it's such an important task, it's time to give it so much."

The girl said lightly, "And why do you have to be there before tonight?" ”

"Looks like you haven't investigated the news on this island at all, Shirley."

Gin sneered, "Tonight is the day of the island's annual dugong celebration, and it is also the day when the longevity woman will appear in front of the public. ”

"Dugong celebrations?"

The girl repeated with some confusion, "What is this a celebration of?" ”

"It's not clear. However, it is said that every year during the dugong celebration, the longevity woman would draw three lucky ones and give away three dugong arrows tied to her hair. If you can draw that arrow, you should be able to complete your mission without a hitch. ”

Smiling rather than smiling, Gin said.

"Really? But I also mentioned merfolk bones in my quest, so what's going on? ”

Seeing that Gin answered her question well, the girl smiled lightly and continued to ask.

"That's big news on TV, you don't know?"

"Two years ago, the longevity woman's warehouse caught fire, and after the fire, the villagers found a skeleton without a lower body in the ruins, which is rumored to be the skeleton of a mermaid. And that island also became popular because of this incident. ”

"In that case, why is the organization asking us to investigate now?"

The girl suddenly said in a serious tone, "Or is my investigation just incidental, and what you have to do is the main thing?" ”

"Hehe, I've said enough."

Gin sneered, as if to warn, "Ask more, you know the consequences!" ”

The conversation was ended by this sentence, and from then on, the girl fell silent and said no more.

Soon the three of them arrived at the airport, took a plane to Fukui Prefecture, and then boarded the American Island in Wakasa Bay, commonly known to the locals as Mermaid Island.

Looking at this remote island, there is an endless stream of tourists today, and it seems that there are indeed a lot of people who come to participate in the dugong celebration.

The trio didn't linger much on the streets here, and after briefly asking the villagers about the dugong festival and the dugong arrows, the three of them went directly to the shrine where the dugong festival was to be held, the American Shrine.

At this time, only a few tourists visited the shrine, and a long-haired woman dressed as a shrine maiden stood in front of the shrine square, holding an imperial coin in her hand, entertaining visitors here.

"This is the shrine maiden who sells the number plate for drawing dugong arrows."

Looking at the woman dressed as a shrine maiden, Gin said, then looked at the burly man on the side.

"Vodka, you go buy three numbered plates from her."

Vodka just answered, but was stopped by the girl.

"I'd better do this kind of thing."

The girl said lightly, and stepped forward to the shrine maiden.

"Excuse me, did you buy the number plate for drawing dugong arrows here?"

Looking at the short-haired girl with brown hair who came over to ask, the shrine maiden replied with a smile, "Yes, that's right. ”

"Then, please bring three sheets."

"This ...... Because all numbered tickets have to be registered as who the purchaser is, one person can only buy one. ”

The shrine maiden explained with a smile.

The girl didn't say much, but looked at Gin and Vodka behind her.

The witch followed the girl's line of sight to see the two people dressed in black, and then looked at the girl in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, and whispered into the girl's ear and said, "Hey, they, are they really your friends?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with some vigilance.

"What, isn't that weird?"

The girl said a little lightly about this.

"Oh, no."

Seeing the girl say this, the shrine maiden didn't say anything more, but took out three wooden number plates and handed them to the girl, and then took out a roster.

"The numbers are forty-seven, forty-eight, and forty-nine, please register your name."

The shrine maiden said.

Seeing the roster that the witch took out, Gin on the side suddenly realized something, stepped forward, took the roster first, flipped through it roughly, and found that this roster was only a record of the number plate purchased this year and did not do much, picked up the pen, and wrote the three Chinese characters "Kurosawa Jin" under the forty-seventh.

Immediately after, Vodka wrote the name of "Uozuka Saburo" under the forty-eighth, and finally handed the roster to the girl.

I felt a little strange about the behavior of the two of them suddenly coming up to take the roster, but the girl didn't say anything, took the pen, and was about to write her name when she saw a sudden glimpse of a name that caught the girl's attention:

Forty-four, wise and lofty.

After just one glance, the girl forcibly refused to do superfluous movements, pretended to be nothing, and wrote her name under the forty-nine: Miyano Shiho.
