Chapter 30 Learnable: A Report on Folklore
"Dead?"
Kiryu was a little surprised, the person who boarded the train should be "hidden", just like himself and the girl Sakura who strayed into the train, completely disconnected from the "present world".
But it should never be death.
"The cause of death was suicide by jumping off a building"
"Suicide?"
Kiryu nodded: "In other words, the person I saw last night is already a ghost?" β
After all, except for ordinary people who strayed into the train, most of them are strange stories, and a few are ghosts after death.
Only in this way can it be explained why the female classmate did not "hide" but committed suicide.
Mizuaki Kirisaki's expression was solemn: "The forensic doctor has also confirmed that it was a suicide, and I don't know anything else for the time being." β
"......" Kiryu was silent, but what he was thinking about was the other four female students who were playing the psychic fox fairy ritual together, if this matter really had anything to do with the fox fairy.
"What do you think of?" Mizuaki Kirizaki noticed Kiryu frowning, as if thinking about something.
"Kitsune"
"Fox fairy?"
"Yes" Kiryu nodded, "I saw them in the karate club on Friday, when the five of them were channeling fox fairies, but because one of them was afraid to continue, the whole channeling ceremony ended...... The female classmate I saw on the tram platform yesterday was the first girl to leave. β
"Maybe it's the curse of the fox fairy?" Mizuaki Kimisaki guessed.
Two big men stared at each other in the office.
Kimisaki Mizuaki said: "It seems that I have to ask Junya to help, although I study folklore, but I can't interfere in the police's own work without permission, right?" β
Having said that, Kiryu noticed that Kirisaki Mizuaki had turned on the computer and started looking up information and cases about the "fox fairy" on the intranet, and it seemed that Kirisaki Mizuaki also decided in his heart that this matter was not an ordinary case of suicide by a high school girl.
"That's right!" Kirizaki suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the keyboard, turned to Kiryu and said, "I have some information I want to give to you to see." β
"Is it a new weirdness?" Kiryu asked.
"It's just some information" Kirizaki Mizuaki shook his head and said: "Although you are a strange talker, you don't have much knowledge of folklore, and learning more common sense about folklore will also help you, right?" β
Kiryu Mizuaki said what Kiryu thought.,In the horror game, folklorists have the title of "exorcist warrior".,Although it's just an ordinary person.,But some common sense is really useful.,Every time I face strange talk, I can only wave my fist.,I always feel like something is missing.γ
He told himself in his heart: by the way, you must remember to bring a bat next time!
While Kiryu was thinking crankily in his mind, Mizuaki Kirisaki had already put a book that was not too thick in front of Kiryu.
["Kisaki Mizumei Folklore Report B1 Edition (Revised)", learning conditions: intelligence 50, charm 500, need to consume learning points: 2000]
"Mr. Kirisaki, this material may be too difficult for me, I'm just a sophomore in high school."
"Don't worry," Mizuaki Kirisaki said, "It has my notes in it, and it looks relaxed." β
Kiryu opened the letter suspiciously, and opened the folklore report written entirely by Mizuaki Kirisaki.
If you read a book here, you can earn 1,000 yen per hour, and you won't lose money on this sale.
There's also free tea and snacks for unlimited refills.
He opened the report and read it quietly.
The content of the report is really not very advanced, and occasionally the parts that you can't understand can be understood through the parts marked in red pen such as "Notes", which also makes Kiryu understand why the intelligence required for this report is only 50 points, but the charisma value is as high as 500 points.
When he went through everything, he found that the required Intelligence had been reduced to 10, the Charisma requirement had been reduced to 400, and the required Learning Points had been reduced to 1500!
Studying hard can reduce the difficulty appropriately.
It's a pity that I still can't meet the learning requirements.
When Kiryu looked up, he realized that it was already afternoon, and he had been studying here for more than four hours without realizing it!
I don't know when an envelope has been placed in front of me.
Kimisaki Mizuaki continued to be busy in front of the computer: "You can take this report back and read it slowly, there is probably nothing to do today...... by the way, your salary is in the envelope." β
"Thank you, teacher!"
Kiryu thanked him solemnly and left with the envelope and book.
There is a total of 50,000 yen in the envelope, which is definitely a lot of money!
But the thought that he had promised to pay for the little wild cat Taro gave me a headache.
"It's been a long time, so let's go and return it quickly."
If you take a taxi from the university to the pet hospital, it costs 2,000 yen, and if you take the train, it only costs 400 yen, but you have to endure frequent transfers and the possibility of accidentally boarding the ghost line.
Kiryu, who has a "huge sum" of 50,000 yen in his hand, still doesn't dare to be extravagant, but fortunately what he was worried about didn't happen.
By the time he arrived at the pet hospital, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's you!"
The doctor looked at Kiryu with some surprise: "Taro is very healthy, are you ready to adopt?" β
Kiryu followed the doctor to Wildcat Taro's "ward", a cleaned cage, and the wildcat with a broken tail has obviously improved a lot after a few days of conditioning.
"Meow~Meow~"
After seeing Kiryu, Taro shouted excitedly.
Kiryu glanced at [Social].
γTaro (happy)γ
[Opinion: 88 (Trust)]
[Message: Meow Meow~]
"It really likes you," said the doctor.
Kiryu nodded helplessly, and handed the 50,000 yen envelope that Kirizaki Mizuaki handed over to him directly to the doctor, and then he lowered his head and leaned in front of Taro, and whispered, "You guy remember, 50,000 yen!" 50,000 yen! β
"Meow meow~" Taro just stuck out his tongue and tried to lick Kiryu's fingers.
Because the pet hospital also has adoption procedures, etc., plus the special care of the doctor, Kiryu left the hospital with the free cat cage after ten minutes.
The setting sun lengthens the shadow of a man and a cat.
"Meow Meow~"
"50,000 yen!"
"Meow Meow~"
After returning home, Kiryu opened the cat cage, and there were no cat litter and other things at home for the time being, and he didn't have extra funds to buy, but he was surprised to find that Taro actually knew how to go to the toilet, although he still needed to help flush the toilet every time, but it saved a lot of worry.
"I always find this edition of the folklore report very useful," Kiryu pondered, "Shouldn't we find a way to improve my charm?" β
If you can improve your charm stats, you may be able to learn kendo easily, after all, it's still too much of a loss to fight with your bare hands.
But he looked at his basic attributes.
[Intelligence: 12]
[Physique: 23]
[Charm: 24]
[Perception: 10]
[Learning Point: 1010]
The thought of the countless strange things lurking around him gave Kiryu a headache: "Isn't it a good student system?" I just want to learn why I have to think about fighting with something that isn't human every day. β
