Kamiyagawa is still confused.

Buzzing.

At this time, the phone vibrated a little.

A friend request on a line pops up.

Apply to add the object of Kamiyagawa's friends.,The avatar is a literary girl.。

In the application remarks box, the following paragraph is also attached -

[Hello, Kamiya-san, I'm Sayuri Ishino.] It's presumptuous, but Masao and I hope you can discuss something. ]

The wording is very polite, and honorifics are used.

"Sayuri Ishino, the girl who was lowered by Hanako's hearing aids, what is she looking for me for?"

Kamiyagawa's doubts are still unsolved, but the friend application of the living person does not hurt to pass it.

As soon as the verification passed, a message came from Ishino's side: "Hello, Kamiya-san. ”

"Well, you're okay too. #笑脸" Kamiyagawa replied casually.

Ishino: "I'm sorry, but Kamiya-san's phone number and Line number were all privately asked by my classmates in your class. ”

Kamiyagawa: "That's not something to be sorry about. ”

It seems that the missed call just now was made by Sayuri Ishino.

Knowing this, Kamiyagawa breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good if it's a living person.

Kamiyagawa: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Ishino: "I don't know what to say about Line. Kamiya-san, are you free for the afternoon? Masao and I would like to invite you to dinner and talk while eating. ”

Sayuri Ishino's mouth is a man.

It should be referring to Masao Nagatomo.

I heard this girl talk about them going to the toilet to visit Hanako, and I mentioned this name.

In addition, the beautiful health teacher Yui Mikami also said that Masao Nagatomo is Sayuri Ishino's boyfriend.

Kamiyagawa couldn't quite figure out what the little couple was looking for him, so he thought for a while and typed: "Why don't you first talk about what you want to discuss, and then I will decide if I am free in the afternoon?" ”

The message has been read.

The other party is typing.

The input status disappears, and within a few seconds it reappears.

This cycle went on and on several times, and Ishino finally sent out the two sentences that were deleted, deleted, and modified.

"I knew it was presumptuous, it was sudden. But—"

"Kamiyagawa-san, you're a soul slayer, right?"

……

The couple Ishino and Nagatomo suddenly found Kamiyagawa in order to get rid of spirits.

It's a new thing, it's interesting.

It was the first time that Kamiyagawa had received a commission to remove spirits.

After weighing it for a while, he chose to go to the little couple's dinner invitation in the afternoon.

Of course, while agreeing to go to dinner in the afternoon, Kamiya emphasized an extra sentence: "I just agreed to listen to the details of your ghost collision in person, whether I want to help you get rid of the spirit, I have to consider it separately, I hope you can understand." ”

One o'clock in the afternoon.

A shopping street near Hwaling National High School.

Affordable Italian Western Restaurant, Saliya.

Saria's food has always been known for its affordability and high cost performance, so it is very popular with the student party.

The drinks here are also cheap, so you can order some and refill them for 200 yen per person. Many students at Hanabell High School use Saizeriya's restaurant as a café to spend their time during the holidays.

Four-seater by the window.

Kamiyagawa sat alone, and Ishino and Nagatomo sat side by side on the other side.

"By the way, didn't these two just bump into Hanako not long ago? What's wrong with this time? Kamiyagawa thought so, and at the same time looked at the young couple opposite with restraint in his eyes.

Sayuri Ishino had seen it before.

Compared with the last time we met, Xiaobai Contract has changed a lot.

She no longer wears bulky black-rimmed glasses, there are no glasses to cover them, and her face is unexpectedly cute. In addition, her temperament is much more confident than before.

"Probably because of being with the right people, there are some good changes in everything?" Kamiyagawa thought so.

As for Sayuri's boyfriend, Masao Nagatomo, it's the first time I've seen her.

Kamiyagawa's first impression of this boy was-

With a small flat head, it looks like a navy that can drive warships, and it is very spirited.

Order.

This meal was a treat for the young couple in front of them, but because they didn't know each other well, and they didn't know what their economic level was, Kamiyagawa only ordered himself a 550 yen sizzling hamburger steak with sausage as the main dish.

Later, Nagatomo Masao took the initiative to add a series of dishes and desserts such as butter garlic baked snails, spicy grilled chicken wings, bacon spinach, and tiramisu.

When the dishes were ready, a table was full.

Before eating it officially, Kamiyagawa spoke: "Don't you want to talk about it?" What do you want to entrust me? ”

The little couple on the opposite side looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, the little flat-headed Nagatomo Masao spoke: "Kamiya-san, in fact, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Say it." Kamiyagawa nodded.

"It's about my father." Changyou stumbled for a moment, his face embarrassed, "I think he may have been entangled by some kind of spirit that instigates people to gamble." ”

"A spirit that instigates gambling? Go on, I'm listening. ”

The topic was opened, and Kamiyagawa felt that Xiao Pingtou was going to talk for a long time, so he turned on the tableware, intending to listen while eating.

There are so many meals, it is a waste not to finish them.

Start by scooping a spoonful of baked snails, the butter and minced garlic are very strong, and the fleshy snails are full of snails, and some refreshing minced vegetables.

The taste is very good.

Kamiyagawa eats, and Nagatomo Masao talks:

"My father he ...... I didn't gamble before. He used to be a good dad and husband. But one day later, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. ”

"He began to frequent gambling horse farms and mahjong parlors, and then lost all his wages."

"When he loses money, he will go home and ask my mom for it. The two began to quarrel day and night from that time. Later, he started beating my mom. ”

“…… I called him Dad, and he beat my Mom. ”

Changyou recalls his family's affairs.

During the narration, he was able to control his tone as smoothly as possible at first, but later on, he became more and more frustrated, and his voice became a little hoarse.

Sayuri Ishino, who was sitting on the side, quietly held Xiao Pingtou's hand as a comforter.

On the other side, Kamiya River silently put down the knife and fork in his hand.

Although people's joys and sorrows are not the same, it is somewhat rude for people to put aside their own happy eating and drinking when they tell about their sad past.

After a brief sigh, Nagatomo Masao continued to speak: "I should have realized that something was wrong, my father used to be a very good person. ”

"Then why do you suddenly feel that your father's temperament has changed so much because he has been instigated by some spirit?"

Kamiyagawa, who wasn't eating, began to answer.

Nagatomo: "There is a round bell that my grandfather left for my mother. My father got the bell from my mom one time and soon after he started gambling and kept it with him all the time. ”

Changyou: "My father has no job now, and he rarely goes home, and when he comes back, he asks for money." The other day he had come back and was so drunk that he fell asleep in the drawing-room, with the bell in his hand. I saw it by the bell and saw ......"

"See what?"

Kamiyagawa sensed that the point of the story was coming.

Nagatomo: "A vague little girl in a red kimono. She reached out and touched the bell, which quickly vanished. ”
