Chapter 5: Investigating the Duo
"So? Where are the monsters? ”
The group followed Rokuka to the utility room on the north side of the school, but there was nothing but shabby sports equipment.
"It must be hidden."
Liuhua said firmly, it seems that she doesn't plan to give up if she doesn't find the so-called "monster".
"Let's separate ourselves and look for it!"
Although he said so, Liuhua hid behind Takeya at the first time.
“...... Hey, don't you have to look for them separately? What are you doing with me? ”
"Takeya's combat ability is not high, so I want to protect you."
“......”
Don't say things like you seem to be very powerful, you're obviously scared!
Liuhua, who was tightly holding the corner of Wu Ye's clothes, did not have the heroic posture in her tone at all, and she only showed half of her head to observe the situation in front of her, and she was completely afraid of giving birth to a little girl.
However, the utility room here is not such a safe place, with the school wall at the back, and a small grove of trees surrounding it, so if you want to explore it all, it seems that it is really a little unsafe to be alone.
Of course, there must be psychological insecurity here.
"What should I do?"
Considered the only two people here with common sense, Tomigashi asked.
"What else, it's all here."
Shrugging his shoulders to express his helplessness, Takeya pushed open the door of the utility room while "dragging" Rokuka.
"Let's go in and have a look, Tomigashi, you can just look around outside."
"Okay."
Tomigashi agreed quickly, anyway, he probably didn't think he could find any "monsters", at best, it was just a walk around the woods, but it was only a matter of two minutes.
"Then let's go inside."
"Hmm."
Pushing the door in, except for the slightly dim light in the room, there was not even any excess dust here, and contrary to the appearance of abandonment, the contents were well organized, not at all like a place for debris to be piled up.
"Is there anyone going to sort it out?"
"Maybe the monster used this as a stronghold, so I sorted it out."
With obvious fear, Rokuka hid behind Takeya's back, her eyes falling on his back all the time, and even if she occasionally turned to the sides, she quickly turned back.
Looks like I'm scared.
"Takeya, if the monster appears, will the two of us be able to win?"
"If you're so scared, don't come in the first place, and besides, who keeps saying that the True Eye of the Evil King is the strongest?"
Laughing at Rokuka's timidity, Takeya tried to find the switch for the light on the surrounding walls, but he felt along the wall for a long distance and didn't find a device similar to the switch.
"Strange, isn't there any electric light here?"
"Wu, Wu is also ......"
"Huh?"
There was a trembling voice from behind him, and then Wu Ye realized that they had gone to the depths of the utility room in order to find the switch, and at this time, except for a bright light at the door, the surroundings were almost dark.
As if he was in the boundless abyss, it was no wonder that Liuhua, who was already afraid, even began to tremble on the tip of his tongue.
"No, there is no ...... in such a big room"
Smack.
Liuhua trembled, and then looked left and right:
"Wu, Wuye, why did you turn on the switch, it's still so dark here."
"No, I didn't do anything just now."
"But, but I heard the voice......
"That's not me."
Leaning down, Wu Ye seemed to feel that he had just stepped on something, and after groping in the dark, he finally found the source of the sound just now.
"Twigs?"
The sound just now came from this broken branch, obviously the entire utility room has been well tidied up, but what is the situation with an extra branch here? Deliberately?
Puzzled, he threw the broken branch aside, and Wu also felt the body of Liuhua behind him getting tighter and tighter, and the slight heat made him inexplicably embarrassed.
"Liuhua, or you can go out first, I'll be enough for one person."
"Don't!"
Looking at the light that was only ten steps away, Liuhua was holding on to the corner of Wu Ye's clothes and refused to let go.
You're too scared, aren't you?
Sighing speechlessly, Takeya had no choice but to continue looking for the switch along the wall, and almost at the end of the room, Takeya found something similar to the switch on the wall.
"I see, is there a door here too?"
The outline of the door in front of him was faintly lit, and it was obvious that there was also this door, which would explain why the light switch was set so deep.
So they went the wrong way from the beginning, and according to the structure, this is the main entrance.
Without thinking too much, Wu Ye reached out and flipped the switch, and immediately a sound of electricity buzzed in his ears, and the electric lights in the room kept flickering like the electrocardiogram of a dying person, which made the already disturbing atmosphere even more strange.
"Woo, woo, Takeya, let's go out......"
“......”
This product is already the limit.
Liuhua has already retreated, and it seems that the commission or the goal is not as good as the fear in his heart.
Looking at Liuhua who was completely childlike, Wu also had no intention of leaving like this.
Of course, it's not that he has awakened any strange attributes, it's just that they have already come in, and if he doesn't figure things out, he will inevitably feel a little depressed.
"Let's start investigating clues, Rokuka."
"Huh, huh?! No, don't you go back? ”
"It's already here, and you can't waste much time walking around."
"Well, well."
Reluctantly chose to stay, although the darkness around him had been dispelled, the flickering light was still infinitely magnifying the uneasiness in Liuhua's heart.
Following Takeya's pace, the two walked along the wall on the other side towards the original entrance, looking left and right from time to time to see if there were any so-called "monsters".
Smack.
"Wow Wow Wow ——!"
“...... Don't scream like that, it's just that you accidentally stepped on something. ”
While using words to comfort Liuhua, who was about to reach the limit, Takeya looked down at his feet, and this time it was actually a small puddle.
Make no mistake, forget about the branches, what the hell is a puddle? Did anyone pour water here?
"Takeya ......"
With a crying voice and a helpless murmur coming from behind him, the corners of Liuhua's eyes were already oozing with tears.
"Let's go back......"
"Don't worry, there won't be any real monsters here, besides....... Okay, okay, let's go back. ”
couldn't stand Liuhua's tearful offensive, so Wu Ye had to give up halfway and prepare to go home.
Although you shouldn't have too many requirements for the guts of a girl like Liuhua, you've been scared to this point, right? And is she so distrustful of herself?
He has seen even the most ferocious monsters, how can he be scared of a "monster" or something now.
With haughty disdain, Wu Ya, who was thinking like this, raised his head and saw a certain turquoise amphibian creature blinking at him......
"Monster aa————!a
