It snowed again in Tokyo in February, and it has been almost a month since the first snowfall.

The snow is not heavy, not at all to the extent of an umbrella, and in fact, there is no need for an umbrella. Tokyo is located in the middle of neon with uncommon snow, so it's a pleasure to see it once in a while, especially around Valentine's Day, when the streets are dressed up in winter to bring out the festive atmosphere.

It is the beginning of the year, and various summaries and investigations are coming. At the moment, the living room on the first floor of Sato's house in Itabashi Ward is playing a ranking program about supernatural events.

"No. 2, disappearance cases from Nagoya." The beautiful host said, "Last January, there was a case of a missing child in Nagoya. At first, there was nothing unusual, and the police also treated it as the simplest case of disappearance, and quickly found clues to identify the suspect after checking the surrounding area and questioning suspicious people. ”

"But things only started to take a weird turn after the suspect was identified·····"

The synopsis ends and enters the main topic, and the background music on the TV also changes from bright to low, and the picture enters the kind of big-character posters that are in line with the program that are used in the daily use of neon variety shows, with a black and white background synopsis.

This is a hobby that Nishijima has recently developed, and he likes to find some variety shows about supernatural and strange stories. Unfortunately, it's not around the midyear festival in July, when major radio stations produce summer specials, and it's also the final stage of the Fuji TV Screenwriters Contest.

It's funny to say, obviously what she has experienced since she summoned Tsukasa Kurihara is more bizarre than what is told on the show, but she just likes to watch the effects of those shows that can't tell whether it's true or not.

Nishijima nestled on the couch and hugged the computer on her chest, the script of the Urban Demon Lord was flashing on the screen of the eye protection, and although she had been given a job, she had not given up on the screenwriting competition. In fact, she thinks that Tsukasa Kurihara just opened this foggy house to cheat money—a name that is very Edo period-style.

If you have to classify the Kirigoya into categories, it's probably a detective agency, or the headquarters of a membership-based tabloid hidden all over Tokyo. Membership-based tabloids depend on members who pay for membership to earn a living, such as the Alien Research Society, the Abnormal Events Research Society, and the Taste Difference Research Institute for the age of sake, etc., which are expensive. They can survive if they catch a big customer, and they are completely merchants who have not opened for three years and have been open for three years.

At present, there is only one member of the Fog House, Kazuhiko Sato, who is the Sato-san who was placed in front of the shrine as a sacrifice.

After returning to reality, Sato didn't know whether what he experienced was true or false, but under the explanation of Nakamura and Inoue, he realized that he might disappear for a while and return home. He touched his neck and found that there was a scar on it that had healed but could not be erased, coupled with Watanabe's silence on all his questions.

Sato's face turned pale, and he believed in his heart what he had experienced.

Because Sato appeared in the mobile team, Nakamura and Watanabe left.

A few days later, Watanabe compiled the case into a book and then approached Sato in his private capacity, and it was only then that he discussed with Sato about the strange world. Sato was sure that he didn't just have memories of that night.

On the other hand, Watanabe used his position to find out Nishijima's address, and finally determined that the girl who was with Tsukasa Kurihara that night was Nishijima Eduri, and went to the door. Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe meet.

Nishijima didn't know much about the rest of the matter, and all she got was the result-

Kazuhiko Sato returned to his hometown, and the house was not refunded to Tsukasa Kurihara for free, and he became the only member of the Fog House.

Sato is the owner of a private company that runs a silk and catering business, and his hometown is in Kagoshima. He went to Beijing last summer to inspect the market development business and rented a house in Banqiao District, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

After talks with Tsukasa Kurihara and Watanabe, Sato decided not to enter Tokyo and move to Osaka instead. Because Tsukasa Kurihara said that he would lose all his money in Tokyo, but he could make a lot of money in Osaka. Sato chose to trust Tsukasa Kurihara.

"Thank you very much, Kurihara-san." Sato, who was in a suit and leather shoes in the hotel, couldn't see the appearance of being scared before, and he was completely an upper-class elite, "I really don't know what would have happened without you." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara raised the wine glass in his hand in response.

Sato took a sip of the sake in front of him, looked at Watanabe and then at Tsukasa Kurihara, and said, "You might as well live in the house I rented." The space is ok and easy to move around. The annual membership fee for the fog house you opened is five million, and on top of that, I will add another million, six million, can you see it? ”

Six million yen is a bit higher than the average annual income of Neon, and it also provides accommodation. These are enough to prove that Sato has made a lot of money, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that Sato's family is rich.

Tsukasa Kurihara replied, "Thank you, Sato-san." ”

"Nothing." Sato breathed a sigh of relief.

There's not much to talk about next, and facing Tsukasa Kurihara makes Sato more uncomfortable than facing some difficult business rivals. Sato simply got out under the pretext that he was on top of his job, and bought a ticket back to Kagoshima overnight to take refuge and recuperate.

Watanabe remains.

Watanabe had a lot of things he wanted to ask about Tsukasa Kurihara, but he didn't know what to say, so the two of them looked at each other wordlessly in the hotel. In the end, it was Tsukasa Kurihara who broke the silence: "Watanabe Criminal, I'll leave my identity to you." ”

"I'm still working on that." Watanabe back.

Tsukasa Kurihara needs a real identity as a weirdo, and it is imminent. Watanabe didn't know why he agreed to Tsukasa Kurihara's request, but by the time he reacted, he had already used his energy to make the difference between the front and back.

There are many neon missing people every year, and Watanabe found someone similar to Tsukasa Kurihara to transplant his identity, and also managed to change his name to the same name as Tsukasa Kurihara. Now when the driver's license, passport, health insurance insured card, etc., are either reissued or newly logged into the police system, and then Tsukasa Kurihara will become a neon citizen.

Tsukasa Kurihara looked at Watanabe, as if he could see through what he was thinking, "Watanabe-san, what are you worried about?" ”

"Kurihara-san." Watanabe made up his mind and said, "If the world really exists, it's like we can enter it." So, does it mean that there may be people who have entered the world of weird talk before this? If you kill someone in the real world and then abandon the body in another world, won't it become an unsolved case? ”

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't know what Watanabe had before, he just listened quietly and suddenly asked, "Watanabe-san, are you interested in being a consultant to the Fog House?" ”

"Me? Consultant? ”

"It's true that the commission that the Fog House accepts has something to do with strange talks, but no matter what, it needs to be used as a medium. So, Watanabe-san, are you going to be this consultant? ”

"That is, there will be similar events after that?"

"Definitely."

Watanabe hesitated.

"I'm not in a hurry to get an answer." Tsukasa Kurihara suddenly smiled, "Who can say what will happen in the future?" That's it for today, and see you next time. ”

Looking back at the present, the show that West Island watched has already introduced the first place to the end of the show and entered the advertising time. Nishijima casually tuned to another tune, and the crowd showed a large crowd of idol groups in delicate long dresses standing next to the host to be interviewed and introduce their new singles.

Nishijima played the TV as background music, and the bell rang when he was about to continue writing the script. She looked at the door and thought for a moment, then put on her slippers and looked through the cat's eyes.

At the door stood a slender woman. She was wearing a black down jacket with a sweatshirt and hat over her head, and an umbrella in her hand. She also looks at Cat's Eye, which allows Nishijima to see her face.

His skin is fair and translucent, and his big eyes seem to be able to speak, but unfortunately he has no emotions at the moment. She has a beautiful mole on the side of her face that is recognizable and has long black shoulder-length hair. All in all, she is a young and beautiful little girl, no matter how Nishijima looks at her, she is at least three years younger than herself, and she should only go to college.

The more Nishijima looked at her, the more familiar it felt.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, and she turned to look back at the TV screen, where the camera was zooming in on one of the idol group.

She has medium-long black hair, big eyes, a mole on the side of her face, and is looking at the camera with a smile on the corner of her lips.

It's almost a person in front of you, no, it's a person.

Nishijima's lips opened slightly in surprise.
