In the toilet of the school building.

Kanoya, who was drenched all over his body, had stopped crying and was packing up his things without saying a word.

Kimi Nishii's men snatched her manga manuscript.

However, she threw her bag on the floor of the toilet.

The spirit swing inside was still inside, and the tarot cards were scattered all over the place.

As soon as he put the tarot cards away, Shikanoya heard footsteps coming from outside.

Originally, she thought that the three people in Xijing were back again, and she felt humiliated, but she still gritted her teeth and glared at the door.

But at this glance, I saw an unexpected person.

It's the reversed wheel of fate, the dangerous person that Lord Eight Feet said.

"Hmm-"

Seeing the person clearly, Shikanoya subconsciously turned his face, raised his hand to wipe the remaining tears on his face, and stroked the messy hair that was stuck to his face with cold water.

This little JC is a little arrogant, and he doesn't want others to see him embarrassed.

Although...... She's embarrassed enough now.

"Kanoya Yukino, I got your sketch back, that ...... I watched it, sorry. ”

Kamiyagawa walked in and handed the sketch back to Kanoya.

Little JC squatted on the ground, raised his head slightly, and hesitated for half a second before reaching out his hands to take the sketch next.

"Thank you." She muttered under her breath, not saying much about the sketch.

Shikanoya didn't expect that the most helpless moment in his life was the "Wheel of Fortune" who had only seen two sides to help him.

Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is.

But to say that the heart is not grateful, it is certainly impossible.

"I taught those three girls a lesson, they won't dare to bully you anymore. It is estimated that in a few days, I will apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. You can ask them for something......"

Kamiya looked at Kanoya.

This little JC's short hair is wet and messy, and the autumn and winter uniform he is wearing is also completely wet, and his dress is wet and sticky to his body.

It looks somewhat pitiful.

However, this guy obviously claims to be a psychic, and there should be a not weak weird backing up behind him.

I don't understand why I was bullied so badly by ordinary people.

"I will not ask them for anything, I will not accept their apologies, I will not forgive them. If Nishii dares to provoke me, I must make her look good, so that I am not a soft egg to bully. ”

Kanoya shook his head a little stubbornly, and put the sketch back in his bag.

"Well, that's your freedom, too."

Kamiyagawa didn't say much about it.

Anyway, he instructed the little old man to "play a haunted prank" on the three girls in Nishii until they were suspicious and didn't dare to bully anyone else.

Shikano stood up from the ground, she looked at Kamiya, and her dark eyes regained a little vividness: "However, why are you here?" ”

"Ah...... This one. Kamiyagawa touched his nose slightly embarrassed, "To tell you the truth, I have a ...... under my hand"

】

"It's not." Shikanoya shook his head, "I mean, this is the women's restroom. ”

Kamiyagawa: ......

……

Kanoya Yukino walked out of the school building that was no longer empty.

Outside the sun is setting at dusk, and the sunset is dim.

She's going home now.

The wind outside was a little cold, and the body of the deer field house was already wet, and when it was blown by the wind, I couldn't help but shiver slightly.

Like a rain-drenched, pitiful stray puppy.

Kamiya, who went downstairs with her, sighed helplessly, raised his hand to take off his coat, and handed it to Shikanoya: "Put it on first, don't get sick from freezing, hurry up and go home and change your clothes." ”

The little JC painter hesitated for two seconds, and finally stretched out his hands and put Kamiya's coat on his body, hanging his head and whispering thank you.

The coat was dry and thick, and it was not as cold as it was before.

Kanoya walked in the direction of home with his bag.

Kamiyagawa walked behind her unhurriedly, and the little JC didn't resist, just walked and was silent.

The town of Oguri Island is not very large, and the Kanoya family is not too far from the middle school.

It's about a 10-minute walk.

Arriving at the door of the house, Kamiyagawa paused.

He was thinking about having a good chat with Kanoya next.

I still want to confirm some things about the island; There is also the strange talk behind her that also needs to be explored.

Now is a good opportunity.

However, it is not suitable for chatting when you are in school.

This little JC painter is soaking wet, and dragging people to talk about things like this on a cold day is somewhat inhumane.

So I can only wait for her to come home and take a shower, change her clothes or something.

Smack.

Shikanoya took the key and opened the door.

Then he looked back at Kamiyagawa behind him, nodded slightly, and walked into the house.

There is no closure.

It looks like he was motioning for Kamiya to go in.

"Hiss......" Kamiyagawa rarely hesitated.

In other words, when I go to the house of a junior high school girl who has only met a few times and never spoken a few words, in what capacity should I greet her parents?

It feels weird.

But right, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

I didn't do anything bad in the first place.

Moreover, it's best to talk to Luyeya's parents about bullying.

As for the manga thing...... It's up to Shikanoya to see her own wishes.

Kamiyagawa stepped along.

When I walked to the entrance, I saw that Shikanoya was already changing shoes.

Her skirt and black pantyhose were also wet with water, and they were not so evenly wet, sticking to her slender straight legs.

Taking off his small leather shoes, he stepped on the wooden floor with his feet wrapped in black silk, leaving two small water-stained footprints.

"I live with my dad, and these days he goes out fishing."

Shikanoya said this, turning around and getting a pair of slippers for Kamiya.

"That's right, excuse me."

I didn't even know how to greet your family, but I was told that there were no adults at home?

When Kamiyagawa changed his shoes, he pondered and said, "Ah, by the way, do you want to ...... with your family about things at school?"

"I'll tell him when Daddy comes back." Shikanoya's reaction was striking, "My dad is a good dad. ”

"Ah...... That's for the best. Kamiyagawa was a little surprised and nodded.

The heart said that this little JC does seem to be a little different.

Generally speaking, children who are bullied at school will have a hard time talking to their parents.

Instead, they chose to endure in silence.

On the one hand, it may be due to self-esteem and fear, and on the other hand, there is also the possibility that you cannot communicate effectively with your parents.

Luyeya can say "I'll tell my father", indicating that the relationship between their father and daughter must be relatively harmonious.

She must have a good father.

In addition, this little JC itself is definitely not a submissive character.

On the premise of being able to communicate effectively with her parents, telling adults about school is one of the best ways to deal with school bullying at her age.

It seems that there is no need to worry about her.

Kanoya took Kamiyagawa to the living room of the house, and then rummaged through the cabinet next to it, as if trying to make tea for Kamiya.

Seeing this, Kamiya opened his mouth to stop her movements: "Don't bother, you go dry and change your clothes, I'll just sit here." ”

"Oh, wait for me a minute."

Shikanoya nodded and walked out of the living room.

Kamiyagawa sat alone, looking around.

The living room of the Kanoya house is ordinary.

There was a small TV, wooden furniture, and a warm table with a plate of oranges on it.

Just now, when the little painter left the living room, he had already turned on the warm table.

Kamiyagawa didn't notice the strange talk at Kanoya's house, which means that the strange talk behind the little JC is not here.

……

Shikanoya has been away for a long time.

Kamiyagawa was not in a hurry, and sat and thought about reviewing his actions during the day and the information he had gathered.

He still did a lot of things during the day today.

As a "half-folklore scholar", he took [a thousand silver needles] and chatted with some middle-aged and old people on the island for a while.

Mainly ask about the red ray and the red ray festival.

After opening the chatterbox, most people's description of Lord Red Stingray was exactly the same as that of the inn's ancient mother-in-law.

It is said that Lord Chi Ma is benevolent and a good god who can bring a good harvest.

It's a pity that after the death of the previous priest, the red ray festival on the island stopped, which led to the abandonment of the shrine of Lord Red Ray.

But there is a middle-aged man, when he talks about Lord Red Ray, his words are a little lake.

Kamiyagawa continued to talk with [One Thousand Silver Needles], and forcibly obtained the following information from the man's mouth-

It is said that there are actually two sets of red ray festivals on Oguri Island, one on the surface and one in the secret.

On the surface, it was the innkeeper mother-in-law who said, and many people went to the Red Stingray Shrine to worship according to the process, which was very lively.

After the worship, everyone eats sea bream together.

And the one in the secret is only known to a small number of people.

At the same time, it is also a truly effective sacrifice.

In the past, priests would organize their cronies to summon Lord Chi Ma at night.

And choose a suitable child on the island as a sacrifice.

After the sacrifice is made, the red ray will bring a good catch to Oguri Island for a full year.

Children who are sacrificed as sacrifices will die of decay.

Therefore, a few decades ago, children on the island often died suddenly due to "strange diseases".

In addition, sitting here and reviewing for a while, Kamiyagawa had some suspicions, and it was very likely that there would already be a child on the island this year.

Early this morning, he wandered the streets and alleys where the dream-eating tapir said he had found a strange nightmare, but finally couldn't find the source, in order to look for the smallest anomalies.

Kamiyagawa saw a little boy in that alley, white and chubby.

Sensing that the other party was a little strange and felt concerned, he stepped forward to talk and knew that the other party's name was Asakawa Hanpei.

The situation in Asakawa is strange, how to say it......

In Kamiya's own words, it was just that at a glance, he felt that this boy Yintang was black.

And it's too dark.

Obviously he looks like a primary school student, but there is a dead air on his body, as if his life is short.

"Judging from the information I got with [One Thousand Silver Needles] in the afternoon, maybe Asakawa Hanpei is already the sacrifice of Lord Chitingray."

"Decades ago, the selection of sacrifices on this island was dominated by priests. But now the priest is gone...... Who is driving this? ”

"Or is it that Lord Chi Tingling, who has been silent for a long time, felt the sufficient amount of incense to be offered this year, and came to the island to choose it himself?"

"Sure enough, the red ray on this island is not so simple. Kanoya had told me that it would be dangerous to continue studying Akaremi-sama's words, and that she probably knew about the festival. ”

"In addition, I have to find out the details of the strange talk behind her as soon as possible. It's best to say that this weird talk on the side of Shikanoya is neutral, or simply hostile to the red ray...... I don't want to be stabbed in the back by another weird guy in the crusade against the red ray. ”

"However, judging from Shikanoya's attitude, it is not unlikely that the strange talk behind her will be neutral."

Kamiyagawa sat quietly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, sorting out today's information in his mind.

After sorting out the clue, he took out his mobile phone and sent messages to Onizuka and Uncle Yuuki respectively. I told them about the situation on the island, and then asked about the Aragami Festival.

If Asakawa Hanpei is still saved, Kamiya still maintains the attitude of saving if he can.

As for how to explain to the official people why he is now on Oguri Island.

This is very easy, originally Kamiyagawa obtained strange information related to red rays from the official in the name of his master "Thor".

As a disciple of the ghost gods, following the clues to Oguri Island can be said to be the master's task, or the master's trial.

Fair and reasonable.

Moreover, Lord Red Stingray sacrificed living people as a sacrifice, and Kamiyagawa wanted to deal with him, which was justified.

You can also brush a wave of "Master's" justice attributes in the official by the way.

Maybe you can also take advantage of the trend.

……

About half an hour later.

Kanoya Yukino returned to the living room, she should have gone to take a shower, changed into a dry home clothes, and her short hair had been blown dry.

The whole person looks like it has returned to normal.

"This girl has a big heart."

Kamiyagawa thought so in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled at Kanoya.

When there is no one at home, he takes a boy who is several years older than him and is still a stranger to him and takes a bath by himself.

This heart is big enough.

However, this also shows that after what happened in the school, Shikanoya is obviously not too wary of Kamiya now.

When she was most helpless and sad, a divine soldier appeared like a god descending from heaven.

Kamiyagawa must have swiped a lot of goodwill in the heart of this little girl in Kanoya by now.

It's a good opportunity to talk and ask questions.

"Sorry, I waited." Kanoya walked over, holding Kamiyagawa's coat in his hand, his face was slightly red, probably just taken a hot bath, "Also, that, your coat just got wet on me, I can wash it off for you." ”

"Don't bother." Kamiyagawa smiled very kindly, "I have a few questions for you, as long as you answer them, it will be considered a thank you to me." ”

"Then you ask."

Kanoya came down on the opposite side of Kamiya, put his foot into the warming table, and handed over an orange.

It feels completely different from the attitude I had when I saw her last night.

"How much do you know about Lord Akama?"

"The real purpose of your visit to Oguri Island is not to do folklore research, right?"

"Well, it's not." This time, because he felt that the time was right, Kamiya chose to be open and honest, "I am the official soul slayer of the Special Search Countermeasures Room, and I came to the island to investigate Lord Red Ray. ”

As he spoke, he took out his ID.

"Special search countermeasures room, official soul slayer? What is that? Kanoya suspiciously picked up Kamiya's documents and looked through them.

It seems that this little girl doesn't understand at all.

"You can understand it as a special police officer who specializes in tackling evil and strange things. You see, I still have the Metropolitan Police Department's stamp on my ID. ”

"Oh......"

Shikanoya nodded ignorantly.

It seems that it is indeed the seal of the Metropolitan Police Department, so this "wheel of fortune" should be a completely good person, right?

It must indeed be here to deal with the evil god Red Ray?

Although Lord Eight has instructed him not to have too much contact with Kamiyagawa.

But Kanoya's contact with Kamiya today is unavoidable. Even this little girl's mouth is obviously not as strict as last night.

"Lord Red Stingray, it's an evil weirdo, the great evil god of the island."

Shikanoya said seriously.
