/: Do you know what a "piece" is?

/: Recently, "Piece" seems to be born, it will open its mouth to predict the future after landing, and it will die immediately after making the prediction.

/: I have heard of it too. Is that a creature? Is it a monster?

/: Didn’t there be a hot comic saying that “piece” will be born on the deserted farm on X-month-X, it seems to be tomorrow.

/: Do you believe in comics, and monsters?

/: This is Ukiyo-e Town, who is not a lover of monsters?

/: "Pieces" was born!It really spoke, it was prophecy!

/: The prophecy of "pieces" is...

[The young master of monsters appeared in Ukiyo-e Town, as long as he is killed, the disaster in Tokyo can be quelled. 】

……

Three days after the tea party, Asahikawa woke up early in the morning, writing and drawing in the studio, rushing to draft as usual, and the time for the Zhuhe meeting marked on the calendar at hand was getting closer.

Halfway through the manuscript, Asahikawa felt a little mentally exhausted for a while, and wanted to stretch out habitually, when he saw an invitation letter by the table, he frowned, and suddenly threw away the pen, feeling annoyed.

Three days ago, Nozaki Umetaro told them about the strange stories he heard when he was in elementary school for four years.

Ukiyo-e Town is a sacred place of Yokai culture.

There are countless weird rumors on campus, on the Internet, and in urban rumors, and many young people also love to chase the truth of things.

After the topic of "pieces" became more and more discussed on the Internet, within a few days, new posts were published.

Those who said they went to witness the birth of "Piece" were prophesied.

The content of the prophecy is:

In Ukiyo-e Town, there is a descendant of monsters and humans, born unclean, who is the young master of monsters, and he will bring disaster to this country.

Immediately, a photo appeared on the forum, and the person who posted it specified that he had passed some investigations and found out that this was the person mentioned in the "piece".

Whether the follow-up of a strange talk is not to be refuted and replaced by a new freak has attracted the attention of many people, but now this strange talk suddenly has an indicator of the heterosexuality, and netizens have participated in the discussion like chicken blood.

/:Finally found--

/: It turns out that there is really such a person in Ukiyo-e Town...

/: Don't let him escape!

/: Or really kill him.

New wife Eiji: "Oh, isn't that the most wanted by all people!?"

"Ah, but now that photo has been deleted, I heard that there was a riot in Ukiyo-e Town because of looking for that person, but I also heard that the riot had something to do with the underworld... In short, I don't know how it happened in the end subsided."

The new wife Eiji asked curiously: "Then why does Mr. Mengye pay attention to this strange talk?"

Umetarou Nozaki pondered: "I heard that the young monster who was identified at that time was a junior high school student. When he was surrounded by ignorant citizens, he took a girl and ran away. The relationship between the young monster and an ordinary girl..."

His expression immediately became serious: "Isn't this a very good material! So, Mr. Nu Liang, do you know anything about this strange talk!"

This time, Nuliang Rikusheng's expression also changed several times, and he replied nervously: "This, I don't really understand..."

"Senior Oikawa!"

"Hey hey hey, this, this, I, I, I don't know..."

The girl manga artist continued to turn around: "Ms. Asahikawa is a local and a manga artist who is good at monster themes. You must know about this ghost story, right?"

Nozaki Umetaro opened a screenshot of the forum when he was talking about this matter. The forum page is very old, and the photo of the person who is accused of being the young master of monsters has also changed to 404, but Asahikawa saw the strange talk time for a while. At that time, the expression that was originally looking forward to the show also changed.

"I... have never heard of this strange story..." He said this fact in a daze.

"Hey, Mr. Asahikawa probably hasn't left Ukiyo-e Town when I was in my fourth year of elementary school?"

As a manga artist who was once famous for his monster comics, Asahikawa had a lot of strange stories about his parents in the local area. After his manga became popular, it led to the prosperity of the monster culture in Ukiyoe Town. It is no exaggeration to say that now Ukiyoe Town Some of the ghost stories were compiled by comic fans based on his comics.

Internet ghost story, the young master of monsters, and the most wanted by the whole people. From a few words, people can guess how sensational this ghost story created in Ukiyo-e Town at that time, but Asahikawa had no impression of it at all for a while!

The cartoonist was shocked, even though he was surrounded by the young monster and the real master, he just wanted to rush home immediately to search for the ghost talk materials he had collected before.

It is impossible for him to miss such weird talks due to his enthusiasm for monster culture and his creation.

However, there is another possibility that Asahikawa's face looks a little bad for a while.

So Asahikawa left as soon as he said it, and with the encouragement of Nozaki Umetaro's request "Please let me know the result if you find it out!" and his new wife Eiji's "Come on, Mr. Asahikawa!" At the gate of the shopping mall, Nuliang Lusheng chased after him.

"Ah, Ah Shi, wait a minute—" the brown-haired young man stopped and took a breath.

For a moment, Asahikawa was still thinking about the strange story, and when he saw the central character of the strange story catching up to him, he didn't hide his expression at all.

He turned his head and looked at Nuliang Lusheng in surprise and suspicion, with scrutiny and a certain degree of caution in his eyes.

In the end, Nuliang Rikusheng just caught up and handed him an umbrella and an invitation letter for an art exhibition.

"The strange talk is actually not as exaggerated as what Nozaki-kun said. The monsters also did some aftermath."

The brown-haired young man scratched his head. There were people coming and going around him, and they would not notice the two young men. It was fine to mention monsters.But the current Nuliang Rikusheng is obviously stupid, and he doesn't know how to explain it to make Asahikawa not so nervous for a while.

Nuliang Rikusheng thought about it for a while and skipped the topic, as if it was not a big deal that he was wanted by the whole people back then.

Immediately, he raised a smile on his face, and said to Chaorichuan: "The weather forecast says that the cloudy sky will turn sunny in the afternoon, and I just bought an umbrella with Bingli, so you can use it."

But he didn't know that the more he showed the contrast with the monster in this appearance, the momentary solemnity in Asahikawa's heart would not increase but decrease.

So the painter didn't make a sound, but calmed down on the surface, and took the umbrella and the invitation letter.

Asahikawa looked down for a moment.

[Boys' Day - Art Exhibition, held on X, X, X]

The date is the day before Boys’ Day. There will be an art exhibition themed on Boys’ Day. There will also be many exquisite handmade products on display and sold. If you want to choose gifts for Boys’ Day, this exhibition is a good place.

"This……"

"Clay pot."

But before Asahikawa spoke for a while, Nuliang Rikusheng suddenly mentioned the original purpose of him and Yukino coming to the mall.

"Does Ah Shi know that there are always clay pots filled with dead cats in ghost stories. Bingli and I didn't find any ghost smell on them after seeing them, which means that it's not monsters making trouble."

Asahikawa frowned for a while: "Is it just a prank? Are there cat abuse incidents that often appear on the Internet?"

"No, it's not."

The brown-haired young man's tone was flat, he lowered his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be looking at an unknown place: "Those dead cats are not ordinary cats. Our family received a report from Mao You who was running the Monster Chamber of Commerce last month. He Many of the cats under his command disappeared mysteriously, and those cats are already considered ghosts, but they have not yet had a powerful demon power to change their shape, and we did not know where these cats were until the clay pot appeared."

"Then why is there no monster's breath on the clay pot?" Asahikawa had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't catch them yet.

Could it be that there are still humans who can wantonly kill cats that have become spirits?

After self-denial, the real answer is not difficult to guess, and even quickly flashed through his brain, making Asahikawa stunned for a moment.

is a ghost.

Nuliang Lusheng raised his eyes, his dark pupils were stained with a faint red, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth seemed a little casual: "Yes, this is not the handwriting of monsters, there are onmyojis and ghosts who can have this ability .”

An indescribably strange aura rushed towards his face, and Asahikawa tensed up subconsciously for a moment, wanting to touch the back of his neck, but there was no change in the people around him, so he stopped in time.

Of course, because of this, all his attention was drawn to the Young Master Youkai in front of Clay Pot and Maoyou....

"The craftsman who made this clay pot will display new works at this exhibition in a few days. You see, this is another incident of monsters and ghosts. I hope you can go and investigate with me."

The monster side only appeared for a short moment, and the brown-haired youth regained his innocent expression.

"Let's meet at the gate of the exhibition in three days, Ah Shi."

After speaking, he waved his hand without waiting for Asahikawa's answer, and wanted to rush back to find Xuenv, but his figure was submerged in the traffic.

……

The exhibition was in the afternoon, and Asahikawa spent a long time writing and drawing, but he didn't really decide whether to go to the appointment or not.

Because in his opinion, the group of monsters he likes is hunted by ghosts, so he definitely wants to talk to that ghost with a knife, but it doesn't mean that he has to cooperate with Nuliang Rikusheng.

Especially now that the young master of monsters is a bit bad in his eyes.

For the time being, it starts from the fact that he has no impression of the strange prophecy.

If the strange talk had indeed triggered riots in Ukiyo-e Town at that time, as Nura Rikusho said-the Nuliang group would not sit idly by, but if I had no impression of this strange talk because it was the aftermath of the monster, then the dream Why does Mr. Ye still remember?

What's more, although the ghost talk forum stopped running at that time, the address was changed only because of the server update. The old web page can still be logged in, but no comments can be made. Anyone can search for this ghost talk.

It is impossible for the Nura group not to be able to clean up even this record.

For a moment, Asahikawa felt that when all the records of the outside world existed normally, there was another possibility that there was something wrong with his own memory.

The memory of ghosts is different from that of humans.

In essence, ghosts are creatures dominated by desires. When they become ghosts, everything about human beings will go away, except for memory, which is not something that can be wiped out so cleanly.

But over the long years, the memories of ghosts who are easily dominated by desires will fade and deviate to some extent.

Even Asahikawa, who doesn't eat people, will have this situation for a while, so he will often sort out his memory.

Nearly a hundred years of memory, his childhood, his encounters, his creations, even the very painful experience of becoming a ghost, he will force himself to think of it in the process of sorting out, too much detail is harmless, but he will never I will not miss a chance to become a "person" who is confused because he cannot remember the past.

Therefore, Asahikawa's memory can be said to be the most complete one among the ghosts, and even Zhushi would be ashamed, as Asahikawa was too cruel to himself for a while.

This kind of ruthlessness cannot be seen on the faces of today's peaceful painters who are no longer ostentatious, at least my wife Zenyi and Kamado Tanjiro, who are good at listening to heart sounds and distinguishing smells, can't detect it.

For a while, Asahikawa sorted out his memory carefully this time.

Born in the second year of Taisho, he started to draw a brush at the age of five, and died at the age of 17. After becoming a ghost, he took the meaningful and ironic name "Asahikawa" as his surname, and has lived as a painter until now.

He has drawn all kinds of paintings during the period, and he is best at Ukiyo-e illustrations. He has learned the styles of all major Ukiyo-e genres. 50 years ago, he caught the attention of the leader of the Demon Slayer Squad—the patriarch of the Ubuyashiki clan. A wise and far-sighted man, the Lord had watched him in the dark for a long time, and sincerely asked him to assist the Ghost Killing Squad.

Asahikawa, who had never been cared about before, was given great attention for a while, and the creed of the Ghost Slayer Squad did not violate his only remaining principles, so he became the consultant of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

Later, he relied on his own skills to provide financial support for the maternity house, and the maternity house arranged false identities for him again and again.

Asahikawa's temporary life was very monotonous, so it is convenient to recall. He also remembers that he used to have a flamboyant and unruly personality, but after all, he has lived for so long. From the perspective of human beings, his mentality will grow old, so his current state of mind She is very peaceful, and only focuses on the improvement of drawing skills and the footprints of monsters, and maintains her hobby of drawing manga.

After Asahikawa sorted it out for a while, he still felt...

My memory is fine, right?

If I really forget something, there will definitely be bugs. Is it true that after I forget something, my brain is still logical and doesn’t remember what I forgot?

Then my brain is really powerful.

However, he really has no impression of the ghost stories that can cause riots in Ukiyo-e Town. This level of ghost stories is absolutely impossible to be ignored by painters who pursue the footprints of monsters!

Asahikawa was sure of this for a while, but finally fell into a contradiction.

So what is the problem?

When he was struggling, there were some noises outside the window.

Asahikawa went to the window for a moment and looked down.

A brand-new black and shiny limousine slowly stopped in front of his house, and four tall men in neat suits came out of the car and stood downstairs neatly—but Asahikawa recognized them at a glance It was the monster I saw in Nura Mansion last time—the monsters saw him appearing by the window, and one of the monsters shouted angrily:

"Master Asahikawa, we were sent by the young master to pick you up for the exhibition, please make some adjustments, we will wait for you downstairs!"

The other three monsters were also imposing, repeating: "We are waiting for you downstairs!"

After shouting, the four monsters stood in place, as if they would not leave until he came down.

"..."

Asahikawa, who hadn't thought about going at all, covered his face with a slap, and felt that he was an idiot for being obsessed with Nura Rikusheng's weird story, even if it was related to the memory he valued!

It's really shameful to behave like this, Nuliang Rikusheng!

=====

The author has something to say:

=====

Young Master: No!I arrange!of!

Asahikawa's second weakness: Gokudo (□□) behavior will make him feel ashamed and second
