After choosing a big adventure at Lupine's Bar

"Oh, isn't this Reiko? Long time no see."

From His mouth, the moment the name "Reiko" was heard, the pronunciation, and the long and light feelings the speaker placed on the name, flowed across the calm lake in the heart in a daze, blowing soft ripples , slowly spread out, and returned to tranquility.

But it did not return to Wuhen, but left a subtle but lingering tremor in the inner world.

Reiko.

It refers to Natsume Reiko, the one who created the book of friends in the first place.

After thinking about this for a moment, Mingyin couldn't understand the words of the middle-level youkai.

"No, no, you've got the wrong person, my name is May [-]th."

"Huh?" The other party frowned, moved closer, and smelled it carefully, "It seems a little different... There are two people."

Monsters generally do not recognize people by their appearance, because in their view, human beings generally look similar.

Therefore, whether it is the identification of the same race or human beings, it is often through breath.

Breath doesn't lie.

"The news from your side is too late. Reiko died a long time ago."

Deng Guo clicked his tongue irritably.

No, what qualifications do you have to dislike the lag of other people's news.

There was only one thought in Mingyin's mind.

Didn't I find out where the account of friends is now?

"Ah, I didn't notice it before, isn't this Master Dengguo?" The middle-level monster stroked his beard and widened one small eye.

"Hahaha, how did you fall to such a point, that you turned into such a petite and slender figure as a pendant for others, hahahahahahahaha...!"

Before Deng Guo could get angry and wanted to yell back, he was interrupted by the middle-level monster who completely changed his tone.

"Is that so, have you already died... Natsume Reiko, Natsume..."

He drooped his eyelids and murmured, and his small eyes made it even more difficult to see whether they were open or closed.

"I haven't received any news about the inheritance of the friend's account. If you are in a hurry, you might as well go to Yayuan to inquire."

"Reiko lived there for a long time before, and it was the most naughty period. There were many monsters who knew her well."

Finally got a slightly useful piece of information, but Ming Yin's thoughts were not on it at all.

Two people.

Mr. Roommate has said the same thing before.

Besides him, there is another outsider in this body.

The intermediate monster just mistook him for Reiko.

Does this mean that the other soul in his body belongs to Natsume Reiko?

If, for the time being, only if, this is the truth...

why?

Why is Natsume Reiko's soul attached to him, and at the same time, he didn't notice it from the beginning.

and……

Intermediate monsters call Dengguo "Master Dengguo".

According to Deng Guo himself, "Deng Guo" is not his real name, but someone else took it for him, and that person passed away many years ago.

Been dead for at least ten years.

Intermediate monsters know this name, that is to say, they came into contact with Dengguo after it was named "Dengguo".

The other party knew Natsume Reiko, and Deng Guo's name was also on the friend account...

……

Mingyin guessed that the person who named the Dengguo was most likely Natsume Reiko.

Then, in this way, Deng Guo's strange behavior before could be explained.

He probably knew about Reiko's death.

And the impact of this matter on him is one of the reasons why he wants to find Reiko's descendants after many years.

If you figure this out, you will be able to know the reason why Reiko's soul is possessed in her body.

If you ask directly, it probably won't work.

I don't know what his real purpose is.

Mingyin pinched her chin with her fingers, after much deliberation, she decided that she could only find Natsume Reiko's grandson, the current owner of the account of friends.

"Yahara refers to Yahara in Kumamoto Prefecture..." Mingyin thought about the scheduled schedule, "I will take you with me after I settle down in Yokohama first, is that okay?"

"My uncle agrees."

Unexpectedly easy to talk about.

Ming Yin thought that Deng Guo would trick him into leaving tomorrow.

"Thank you for the information."

"No, I haven't seen Master Dengguo for a long time. I'm also very happy. I used to be in this area... Oh, it's all in the past, so I won't mention it. I wish you good luck."

Mingyin didn't care about the unfinished words of the middle-level monster.

Probably talking about the Dengguo.

After Mingyin stroked the little snake's head soothingly and walked back slowly, the middle-level monster let out a sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death. I thought I was going to eat me in a fit of anger. I really can't figure out that person's temper..."

The warning came suddenly.

First, when he said the name "Reiko" jokingly, he could feel that he was being targeted by the giant snake.

The chill running up his back made him feel that he was going to be swallowed in the next second.

So no mention of Reiko anymore.

But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't even tell what happened when Deng Guo lived here for a long time in the past.

I thought he was going to be hanged straight away.

"Probably in a bad mood. Did you quarrel?"

On the other end, Deng Guo got into Ming Yin's clothes in a fit of anger, all the way to her ankles.

"Hiss—how can you be as virtuous as Guan Hu from Junxun? You really should get to know each other."

In the depths of the conscious world, in an empty place, a light-haired girl in a sailor suit lay on her side, her eyes closed tightly, her long hair spread out on what seemed to be the ground, and she had been sleeping like this for an unknown amount of time.

Suddenly, with her at the center, the world where the concepts of space and time do not exist at all was dyed a dazzling blue.The water rose up to her cheeks, rippled and spread out.

When the transparent water returned to calm, she opened her eyes.

The girl's eyes are also light-colored, and the pupils are similar to inhuman vertical pupils.

Her face was calm, staring at this transparent world.

"Not good."

But she laughed.

At the same time, in the "shop".

"Are you free?" Sitting on the corridor on April [-]st, holding a teacup in both hands, he said to the spirit body who was looking at the distance in a daze.

"...Yeah, staying with Mr. Mingyin is much more interesting."

"yes……"

After drinking a cup of tea, April [-] fiddled with the tobacco in the pipe and lit it with a lighter.

Faint smoke drifted upward until it dissipated in the air.

"This is a lady's pipe."

"Well, yes," April [-]st smiled, "Miss Yuko's things, I just used them without permission...I don't like smoking when Mingyin-jun is around."

"There is no chance in this world, only necessity."

April [-] exhaled a puff of smoke ring, turned to him and said so.

"You're still alive."

Hearing this, the iris-colored eyes were still dark and calm.

The silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, only the sparks of the pipe and the breath of tobacco flowed, recording the passage of time.

"You're not surprised," April [-]st held a pipe and gestured at him, "Did you already know it or... Mr. Dazai didn't believe what I said?"

The other party defaulted to the title "Mr. Dazai".

"No, I just think that everything is fine." He broke the serious atmosphere, sighed, and lay back.

"What's the purpose of Mr. April [-]st telling me this? Is it related to Mr. Mingyin?"

"That's right, it's about Mr. Mingyin."

Biting his pipe on April [-]st, his eyes of different colors were faintly visible under the smoke.

"What I just told you, whether you want to tell him or not is up to you. In exchange for information, please keep an eye on him. Soon, changes will come."

"Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, please tell me your answer later."

A ghost from another world feels like he's been bought and sold.

"I didn't propose to trade with you."

"Hahaha," April [-]st smiled, and accidentally choked on the smoke, "This store is only accessible to those who wish."

Smoke lingered in this space, and the young man was lying on his back on the ground, unable to see the other party's face clearly.

"That is a wish that cannot be fulfilled by oneself."

After staying in my hometown for several days, I got together several times with Xiaoyu and Domeki who came back, and introduced Mr. Roommate and Dengguo. Mingyin felt that it was almost time to move.

"Be careful on the road."

Xiao Yu, Si Yue Yi, Xiao Quan, Xiao Duo and Mo Ke Na said goodbye to him at the entrance.

"I'll come back from time to time." He rubbed Xiao Yu's head.

The luggage was carried by a moving company, and Mingyin himself only brought his satchel, Dengguo, and Mr. Roommate, took the Shinkansen for half an hour, and came to Yokohama again after many days.

After tidying up her luggage for the day and shopping for daily necessities, Mingyin collapsed on the sofa.

After sending the editor his new address information, he rolled over and nearly fell asleep.

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"I need to say hello to the neighbors downstairs..." He looked out the window, it was already evening, "Forget it, let's do it tomorrow."

He glanced at Deng Guo, who was sleeping soundly in the small nest made of bamboo baskets and soft cloth, sighed, and prepared to go out for dinner with the dark circles under his eyes under his eyes.

[Let's go to the curry shop last time, Oda Saku may be there, let's say hello. 】

At this moment, Mr. Roommate is like a novice guide NPC reminding the mission.

"He doesn't go there every day."

That's what he said, but Mingyin still walked to the western restaurant.

"Oda-chan, he seems to be very busy recently, he was supposed to come to eat at least three times a week..."

"That's it."

Mingyin ate the sweet curry, wondering if something happened in Yokohama recently.

Afterwards, after Mingyin gradually adapted to life in Yokohama, she got acquainted with the detective agency downstairs, went to the western restaurant for dinner from time to time, and played fighting games with the children upstairs.

But as luck would have it, I never met Odasaku again.

"I don't really want to go to that bar..." There are too many shameful memories there.

As always, the boss stir-fried the curry seasoning with a spatula, and the tangy aroma spread in the small shop.

"Huh?" Mingyin turned his head, only to see a row of black muzzles.

And several suspicious figures in robes and hoods covering their faces.

Before the boss's panic expression was ready, they pulled the trigger at the same time.
