Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

The three of them came to the restaurant and sat down. Minami Hizuru looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu with some surprise and asked:

"Is it just the two of you this time?"

"yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"We didn't expect to meet Miss Hizuru here. It's been a long time since we last met."

The last time they met was when they were dealing with the [Ghoul Incident], and when they parted, Minami Hizuru said that she would stay in Tokyo for the next period of time and that if anything happened, she could go to her at any time.

But despite saying this, they had only met by chance when they were both in Tokyo.

Having said that, even though we haven't seen each other for a while, Nanfang Rizhe is still wearing the black suit as always. Under the suit is a black vest. She looks capable, calm, intellectual, and full of charming cold imperial sister style. .

"After all, it started to rain non-stop in Tokyo not long after that, and it didn't return to normal until a few days ago. So I basically stayed at home during this period, and it was natural that I couldn't touch it."

She took a sip of coffee, seemed to think of something again, and said casually:

"Speaking of which, there are a lot of weird rumors on the Internet about this prolonged heavy rain, such as the [30 Minutes of Sunny Day]."

"Ritsuka, do you know anything?"

If there really was any mysterious incident about that rain, then as professionals in this field, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others should have some understanding.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

This was just a chat topic she mentioned casually, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

But what she didn't expect was that Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, answered in the affirmative, and said with a smile:

"As for this, there are indeed some situations."

As one of the insiders of [Mystery], Minami Hizuru even cooperated with them twice, so there was no need to hide the other party, so Fujimaru Ritsuka simply told the situation.

Nanfang Rihe, on the other hand, took out his notebook at some point and started writing furiously. A slut-like expression suddenly appeared on his originally calm face, and he muttered to himself:

"Gods, witches, weather, boys and girls struggling at the bottom, the choice of the tram problem... Not bad, really good, it seems to be a material with great potential..."

After a while, Nanfang Rizhe broke away from her frantic creative state and regained her senses. She coughed twice and her expression returned to calmness.

"Is it a god again? But to be more precise, this time he is a real god."

Then, she couldn't help but sigh:

"But speaking of it, your lives are really colorful."

As far as she knows of the three mysterious events, the first is an alien (Haidao), the second is a vampire (a ghoul), and the third is a real god.

These are situations that ordinary people would never encounter once in their lifetime, but for Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, they are as common as editor's reminder calls.

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a bitter smile and sighed helplessly:

"I would rather my life be a little more plain."

After briefly communicating about their current situation, they then talked about the current affairs.

Matthew smiled and asked:

"Ms. Hizuru came here after seeing the information on the Internet, right?"

"You can say that. Part of the reason is that I was invited by a friend."

Nanfang Rihe nodded and replied:

"However, originally I was just here to collect information, but since you are also here, it means that the rumors on the Internet are true, right?"

"Rumors?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't help but look at each other. Looking at the doubts in their eyes, they felt that something was wrong.

So, Fujimaru Ritsuka tentatively asked:

"Are the rumors you're talking about about Zashiki Warashi haunting this hotel?"

"Zashiki Warashi? What is that?"

Nanfang Rihe was stunned for a moment, and finally realized something, and asked:

"Aren't you here to investigate the [Blue Spider Curse] incident?"

"[Blue Spider Curse]? What is that?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked confused. The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Nanfang Hizuru said straight to the point:

"It seems like there are some differences in what we're talking about."

"In that case, let's exchange information first."

The first is Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others. They are simply here for a two-day and one-night short-term trip, so they wear quite casual clothes.

However, after arriving here, they unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be something in the hotel, and they had just begun to investigate.

"So that's it. It seems like there was a complete mistake."

Nanfang Rihe pushed up his glasses and said:

"Then, let me introduce the situation here."

Nanfang Hizuru didn't know the situation of this hot spring hotel. She just came here to stay at the invitation of a friend. What she had to deal with was another weird incident that had nothing to do with the hotel itself.

"Right near this hotel, there is a girls' academy called Sansaki Ryo Private Academy."

"This is a very famous aristocratic private girls' school, where all the noble ladies attend school. The historic Western-style school building is of great historical value and is well received..."

"It's just that recently, there have been a lot of unusual incidents happening there for some unknown reason, and the victims were all just students..."

For example, a student fell down the stairs and fractured his bones; the glass of the window suddenly cracked, almost blinding the nearby students; and the key cover of the piano suddenly came down, causing all the students' fingers to be crushed and fractured;

There are also students who encountered a mysterious phenomenon of spontaneous combustion during chemical experiments and suffered extensive burns; there are also injured students who did not shed a drop of blood but were cut as deep as the bone, etc...

However, if it is just this, it is not enough to attract people's attention.

The most incredible thing is that the injured students all have markings like spots on their bodies.

Someone posted a photo on the Internet. The band pattern is green and black, and the shape looks like a spider's nest. It feels like something ominous is attached to it.

"...Therefore, based on the appearance of the stripes, everyone began to call it [The Curse of the Blue Spider] from unknown time on, and it caused heated discussions in a ghost talk forum called MU·MINUS."

Having said this, Nanfang Rihe's tone paused slightly, and then continued:

"The purpose of my coming here is to be invited by a friend who is very interested in this matter to investigate the incident and collect writing materials."

At this point, the respective purposes of both parties have been fully explained.

However, after hearing about the situation on the southern side of Hizuru, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression became a little tangled.

Zashiki Warashi, who brings wealth to people, and the Blue Spider Curse, which keeps causing harm to students, don't sound like they have much to do with each other.

However, considering that the locations of the two incidents, Ashi Hotel and the private Sansaki Ryo Academy, were very close, Fujimaru Ritsuka had to consider whether there might be some connection.

For example, the person behind both incidents is the same person.

But if it is true——

"well."

Ever since, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed again and said helplessly:

"It seems to be getting troublesome."

Come on!
