If you don't agree with each other, you will cut your stomach. For the first time, Tsukasa Kurihara experienced the determination of the neon people.

Kishijiro was a pure samurai who probably thought about ending his life and returning to the human world for a long time. Maybe he still wants to repay the lord, but the outside world has changed several times. There are many possibilities. Seeing Tsukasa Kurihara coming from outside makes him decide to die, especially after hearing the prison parable.

In this way, some people are ready to die a long time ago, and only need an opportunity.

Tsukasa Kurihara was that opportunity.

Yoshijiro died, and the stall left behind gave Tsukasa Kurihara a great headache. Just giving a bunch of mysteries and not solving them is the most annoying kind of person.

Those who are alive have to move on with their lives.

"You said you were dead, but you told me about these things. How do I go back, who is the merchant you are talking about, there are a lot of secrets in this strange village alone. Tsukasa Kurihara looked at the ashes and sighed, "There are other things." At least you have to tell me your name. ”

After thinking about it, it is true that Kishijiro's name has not been told to Tsukasa Kurihara.

Tsukasa Kurihara was depressed, but there was nothing he could do, and the dead were the greatest. He first went to Kishijiro's residence to get a cloth and wrapped the remaining pile of ashes of Kishijiro himself in his pocket, and then returned to the main hall to see the remaining three.

As soon as he entered the door, Watanabe and Nishijima's eyes fell, and the conversation between the two was interrupted, looking at him and the katana beside him - Kishijiro died, and in order to avoid wasting the sword, Kurihara Tsuji recovered it.

Tsukasa Kurihara walked up to Sato and felt his pulse, and the person was still alive, so he said to Watanabe and Nishijima, "Do you understand the situation you are in?" ”

"I don't know." Watanabe was the first to respond, and Nishijima also responded and said, "Kurihara-san, do you know something?" ”

The two knew less than Tsukasa Kurihara, and before answering their questions, Tsukasa Kurihara had a curiosity about Nishijima, looked at her and said, "How did you survive from that group of weirdos?" ”

Nishijima's already eased mood was raised again by Tsukasa Kurihara's inquiry, and the corners of his mouth stiffened, but he had to respond: "I... I know it from books. ”

"Books?"

"Hmm." Nishijima said, "Including Kurihara-san, you too." I bought a book about weird stories from a second-hand book vendor, and because I was out of inspiration, I called you to do what it says·····"

If Nishijima had been given another chance, she would definitely not have done such a stupid thing again. After regretting it countless times in his heart, Nishijima continued: "There are not only ways to summon strange stories in the book, but also ways to deal with strange stories, and there are just ways to deal with these strange stories. ”

"But you've managed to find the flaws in every weird story."

"I don't know how I did it." Nishijima was also amazed by this, and it is incredible in retrospect. How can you do it right the first time? According to probability theory, this is a miracle.

"Where's the book?"

"The book is in my house, on the shelf."

"Hmm." Tsukasa Kurihara said he understood.

"So, can we go back?" Nishijima misunderstood something from Tsukasa Kurihara's tone, "Eh, what about Mr. Samurai?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't answer the previous question, and jumped directly to the next one: "Dead." ”

"Death... He's dead? Watanabe, who knew something inside, reacted the most.

"It's all dust." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "This is also my first time here. That guy is an aboriginal Watanabe criminal you should know, but who would have thought that he committed suicide by seppuku. In fact, he went from being a man to a strange man, and he has been on this mountain for many years from the end of the shogunate to the present. ”

There was a lot of information in Kurihara's words, and the two listeners listened in silence, both of them were smart people who understood the meaning of Kurihara's words. Watanabe had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Honestly, I don't know how to get back to the real world, including the dead one. If he had a way, he wouldn't have stayed here forever. ”

The hunch came true.

"Kurihara-san, can't we go back?"

"Hmm."

"How could it be ······" Nishijima, who was listening next to him, couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

"If you have a way, you can try it, anyway, I can't help it now." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "It's okay, if you stay for a long time, it will become a strange story, you see this guy has lived for hundreds of years." ”

"No, it won't." Nishijima muttered as she ran out of the main hall, but when she came to the outside of the store, she saw a thick fog. There is a hideous strange talk in the mist.

Compared with all the previous encounters, Nishijima was the most desperate at this moment, but he did not completely lose hope: "How is it possible." ”

She didn't run out of the shrine regardless of this, but unconsciously walked up to the stone horse with grass hanging on her mouth, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a stone statue and looked motionless at the misty outside the shrine.

As she approached, the gargoyle's eyes rolled and glanced at Nishijima with a spirited look.

Immediately afterwards, the gray stones on the gargoyle's body began to change, the color became lighter, and gradually the texture of the skin appeared, and the fluff also appeared one by one and fluttered in the wind.

The West Island was still stunned.

The gargoyle was almost transformed into a living bantam.

A gust of wind blew, the bantam horse's mane fluttered, and it came to life completely, with a few hot breaths coming out of its nose, four hooves stepping a few times, jumping off the stone platform and walking to the side of the West Island.

Nishijima only reacted at this time, and shouted softly in the face of the bantam that suddenly appeared: "Ah. ”

The bantam was not afraid of Nishijima, and did not panic when he heard her cry, and even walked up to her and arched his head beside her, as if he wanted Nishijima to touch it.

"Huh?" Nishijima was amazed at the horse that suddenly appeared.

She has cats and loves dogs, and has an inexplicable crush on this animal. She thought for only two seconds before putting her hand on the bantam's head and touching it, "Where are you from?" ”

The bantam snorted and nodded his head to the stone platform next to him.

Nishijima looked over: "You mean you changed from a stone statue?" ”

"Hmph~" The bantam sneezed.

"Ahh Nishijima's eyes widened, "You, you, you, you're not going to be weird, are you?" ”

Just when Nishijima thought that the bantam was going to speak in the next second, it just stayed by Nishijima's side obediently, looking cute.

Nishijima's heart melted: "Even if it's a strange talk, it's a good weird talk, not like that Kurihara Division." ”

Thanks to the bantam, Fukusaijima's mood calmed down, and Tsukasa Kurihara, who was being spoken ill of by Nishijima behind his back, was talking to Watanabe.

"Kurihara-san, is there really no way to go back? Where did we come? Watanabe said.

"The way you came..." Tsukasa Kurihara remembered the almost groundbreaking changes in Pangu at that time, "We didn't come here on foot. ”

Watanabe also remembered, his face sank but there was no better way, which really touched his blind spot in knowledge. How do I go back, or really can't go back? Could Kurihara be lying?

While Watanabe was thinking about it in many ways, Tsukasa Kurihara thought of something and said, "Mist." ”

Watanabe jerked his head up to see what he understood: "Mist! ”
