Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Appeal of the Dunzi

By the time Toru Amamiya finished packing his luggage and went downstairs again, the others had already gathered in the living room.

Except for the four of them who came to the party because of the invitation of the garden, the others were all club friends from Suzuki Ayako's university.

Excluding the intruder of Toru Amamiya, the remaining adults are three men and two women.

The three boys are Ota, who used to be the leading actor in the club, Kakutani, who is in charge of photography in the club, and Ryoichi Takahashi, who is in charge of props.

And the two girls, in addition to Sonoko's sister Ayako Suzuki, there is also a short-haired woman - Chikako Ikeda.

Chikako Ikeda seems to be a celebrity to some degree, and Moriran easily recognizes her as the screenwriter of a movie currently being released.

Toru Amamiya glanced a little more at the fat man who was not good-looking in the crowd...... Kotoko Iwanaga behind him also nodded slightly, as if confirming something.

As soon as Toru Amamiya wanted to discuss his next plan with Kotoko Iwanaga, he saw that these friends from college seemed to be talking about something that shouldn't be talked about.

"Say no more! Don't talk about the pier anymore......" The short-haired woman named Chikako Ikeda slapped the table angrily, stopping the conversation.

"Everyone is taking time out of their busy schedules to come here for a vacation, so don't mention the person who died two years ago, what a disappointment."

Toru Amamiya paused slightly as he whispered, sensing that something was wrong.

Although she is not a serious detective, judging by Toru Amamiya's usual experience, this woman seems to be trying to hide something.

Toru Amamiya looked at the fat man named Ryoichi Takahashi with a little inquiry...... behind him.

A bespectacled, very gentle-looking girl stood there, her face pained and sad.

Toru Amamiya nodded, he probably understood what was going on between the seemingly harmonious people in this class.

This Svenwen girl should be the dun in the mouth of this group, although I don't know what exactly happened between them.

But what can be guessed is that this woman named Chikako Ikeda forced Dunzi to death, which is why she was so angry when she talked about Dunzi.

But understanding is understanding, Toru Amamiya knows the rules of this world, the things on the supernatural side are managed by the supernatural side, and the things on the scientific side are managed by the scientific side.

Judging by Conan, who was present, today's grievances about Dunzi should be revealed to the world, but I don't know what price Chikako Ikeda will pay because of this.

If the situation develops in a good direction, this plagiarist will be ruined, completely leave the path of screenwriting, and be spurned by these former classmates.

But if Conan was a little more violent...... Now everyone is still chatting at the dinner table, and a little later, maybe someone will die tragically under all kinds of bizarre trajectories.

Ayako Suzuki saw her former classmate getting angry inexplicably, squinting her eyes and playing in the circle.

"I'll go prepare dinner right away, so let's get some rest."

Takahashi scratched his head when he heard this, and said bravely, "Then I'll repair the roof...... I heard the weather forecast that it would rain after the event! ”

Ryoichi Takahashi quickly disappeared from the door, and Chikako Ikeda seemed to completely disengage from the topic just now, leaving behind the sentence to go out for a walk and hurried out the door in a rage.

Because he was afraid that a girl from Chikako Ikeda would be in danger in the forest, and in order to persuade her who was angry, Kakutani, who was in charge of photography, chased after her and hurried out.

And the handsome long-haired guy among the other two boys looked around, looked at Kotoko Iwanaga, who was sitting beside Toru Amamiya, and seemed to think of something, and his whole body trembled.

Then he looked at the garden and Maolilan who were chatting, and made his choice with a clear purpose.

He leaned his hand against the wall, squinted his eyes and posed handsomely, and strongly invited Mao Lilan to go for a walk in the rain with her.

Kotoko Iwanaga watched the play with a small biscuit on the side, and ate happily......

Although she is also a beautiful girl, her appearance is too small, and Kotoko Iwanaga has hardly been accosted by normal boys.

For Ota's slightly strange eyes just now, Kotoko Iwanaga had long been used to it, and leaned on Toru Amamiya without any discomfort.

Faced with the invitation of this long-haired man, Mao Lilan resisted a little and tried to find a reason to decline politely.

But this long-haired boy seems to be very confident in his appearance, and he knows that if he doesn't refuse directly, he agrees, so he grabbed Mao Lilan's wrist and walked outside.

…… Although he deeply sympathizes with Conan's feelings in his heart, Toru Amamiya has other things to do at this moment.

Seeing the two of them walk out the door, and witnessing Conan and Sonoko sneak out to follow the two, Toru Amamiya coughed lightly twice, and looked at Kotoko Iwanaga just wanted to speak......

"Xiaolan, they're really funny," Kotoko Iwanaga pulled at Toru Amamiya's sleeve and spoke in a very bad tone.

"Archer, do you want to do something interesting with me in the villa in the middle of nowhere?"

"Shut up, you."

Toru Amamiya covered his face, a little speechless.

Of course, he covered Kotoko Iwanaga's face in order to stop her from continuing to distort the topic.

Although there are no outsiders in the living room now, there is still an outsider.

Toru Amamiya still can't get used to the slightly weird look in the eyes of outsiders when Kotoko Iwanaga talks in front of outsiders.

"You should be the same pier they mentioned, right?"

"Interested in telling us your story? And the story of you and that Ryoichi Takahashi...... He seems to be angry about your grievances? ”

When it came to business, Kotoko Iwanaga quickly returned to her seriousness, looked at the woman in front of her with a professional smile, and asked questions gracefully.

…… Although she was willing to participate in this party in part because of the invitation of the garden, it was more important for her, as a youkai god, to entrust her.

Dunzi nodded hesitantly, tentatively adjusting her position, trying to block something terrible with Iwanaga Kotoko's body before finally speaking.

Toru Amamiya pursed his lips...... He was used to it.

"Yes, I'm the same guy they mentioned in the previous chat."

"I used to be a member of the Film Research Society, just like them."

"It's just that I died two years ago, and although it was suicide, it seems that because of the strong resentment in my heart, I accidentally kept my soul ......"

Dunzi admitted his identity, and his expression looked a little lonely.

As a little imp who has just been dead for two years and is not strong in resentment, Dunzi does not have the ability to freely manifest in front of humans.

Although for such a long time, she has always been by the side of Ryoichi Takahashi, who can easily see her...... It's just that because the soul body can't be heard by the living, she is inevitably a little lonely.

Sometimes she doesn't even know why she still exists in this world when she has chosen to leave and commit suicide.

I was also forced to watch that woman accumulate fame with her own works and gradually become a well-known screenwriter, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Looking at Ryoichi Takahashi, who knew that he had been wronged, couldn't sleep every day and night, and was emaciated in order to help her wash away his grievances, he couldn't give him any comfort.

Dunzi was a little helpless, and she had heard rumors of youkai gods from other goblins.

So she found a way to ask a few of her friends in the monster world to invite Kotoko Iwanaga to solve all these incidents for her today.

"Princess, there are two main things I want to entrust you to come over today......

"I hope you can help me get my word out and tell everyone about Ikeda's notoriety for plagiarism, so that she will pay the price she deserves."

"And then there'...... I hope you can help me and Ryoichi Takahashi completely free from resentment. ”

After telling his story, Dunzi bowed deeply and told the gods his request.
