Yokohama High School of Magic

"...Well, I am Yoshino Junpei." Yoshino Junpei replied hesitantly.

"Hello, I'm here to ask you about yesterday."

Not far away, Yidi Zhijie, who was hiding behind the telephone pole, slipped and almost fell on the spot.

Knotweed student, don't start the chapter with such a point!

"Sure enough..." Yoshino Junpei already had a premonition in his heart when he saw a strange thing that obviously didn't look like a doll moving under the arm of Yuzu Yuuhito.

"What do you want to ask?" Anyway, he had said it countless times in the police station.

As if replaying the scene in the police station, Yoshino Junpei recounted his experience in the movie theater a little numbly.

The two of them sat by the river shining with golden broken light, and the half-sinking sunset on the horizon.

Yoshino Junpei buried his head in his arms.

"I believe you."

"...Huh?" Yoshino Junpei was taken aback.

"I believe you, the guy you said killed these three people."

Yoshino Junpei stared blankly.

In the police station, no matter how much he stated repeatedly, the police were unwilling to believe him, and looked at him questioningly. Some even said that they wanted to see his mental history.

However, at this time, the pink-haired boy who met him for the first time looked straight at him, with Yoshino Junpei's incomprehensible trust in his eyes.

"I know, it's very painful." As if remembering something, Knotaba Yuhito's voice became much softer, he put his palms behind his back, raised his head, and looked at the bright golden sky:

"Deviating from the daily life, and living towards the unknowable and extraordinary, it is already very painful, but the most uncomfortable thing is the sight that people around you don't understand?"

Yoshino Junpei turned his head, resting his head on his knees, hummed muffledly, his eyes were a little red.

"Junpei? Is it Junpei?"

On the river bank, Yoshino Nagi was holding two large plastic bags in his hand, and shouted at him because the distance was too far.

"Mom?" Yoshino Junpei turned his head in a daze, "It's not that he has a job and can't come back..."

Yoshino Nagi trotted down the river bank, panting, "Are you okay? I was worried about you, so I came back first."

Yoshino Junpei took the plastic bag from Yoshino Nagi, "I'm fine, what about your work."

"It's okay, it's not important." Yoshino Nagi looked around at Yoshino Junpei, and made sure that he was fine except for his pale face. She relaxed her heart that had been holding it all the time, and then she noticed the knotweed Yuhito next to her, "This is Junpei's friend?"

"Do not--"

"My name is Yuzu Yuhito." Knotaba Yuhito smiled angrily, "You are so young, I thought it was Yoshino's older sister just now."

"Ala." Nagi Yoshino's smile became even happier, "knotweed-kun, come to eat at home today? I happened to buy too much, and Junpei and I couldn't finish it."

"mom!"

"What's the matter? If you don't eat these, it will be wasted."

Probably it was the aura that belonged exclusively to Yuzhang Yourohito, or maybe it was the words just now that touched him.

It wasn't until Yoshino Nagi, Yoshino Junpei, and Kojo Yuhito sat together at the table that Yoshino Junpei realized that they had just met today.

"Wow, this is delicious." Knotweed Yujin gave a thumbs up with sparkling eyes as he stuffed the small meatballs in the spoon into his mouth.

"Really? Shunping and Dun-kun also like this very much, Knotweed-kun, eat more."

Nagi Yoshino, who was in a good mood, opened a bottle of beer for himself, and raised the glass in his hand, "Atsushi-kun before, and Knotashi-kun, Junpei also made so many friends."

"Mom!" Yoshino Junpei blushed a little, trying to stop it but failed.

"You too, Junpei, don't be too shy, everyone is very friendly."

Hearing his mother's words, Yoshino Junpei paused inaudibly, lowered his eyelids, and gave a low hum.

------

When Tianshengda received the call from Yoshino Junpei, he was sorting out the work to be handed over to Miwa Kiri. He clamped the phone on his shoulder, patted Atsushi Nakajima's vest casually, and answered in Atsushi Nakajima's voice.

"Hey Junpei, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, just" the voice on the other side of the phone hesitated, "Have you read today's news?"

"Huh? No, I'll go and have a look." Atsushi Nakajima raised his head to the little robot, and the little robot that successfully received the signal opened Today's News tacitly.

"Tokyo love murder... Members reiterated the safety of elementary and middle school students after school... Three high school students were killed in a Yokohama movie theater..."

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback, "Yokohama?"

"Yes, this is it."

The little robot clicks on the specific news webpage in due course.

Responding instantly, Atsushi Nakajima put down his work, picked up the phone, and asked Yoshino Junpei solemnly: "What's going on, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but"

[You have unlocked the side mission: Recover the fingers of Su Nuo on both sides (0/1)]

Click on the mission location under the branch mission, it is Yoshinoya that Atsushi Nakajima has been to several times before.

Atsushi Nakajima's natural eyesight gave a "tsk", and stood up abruptly, without even paying attention to the flying paper, and skillfully pulled out the birth point under the character slot.

"Junpei, has anyone visited your house today?"

"Huh? Ah, I just met a person named Yuzu Yuren who came to my house today, and I still want to tell you."

Atsushi Nakajima, who had just been refreshed from the birth point, looked at the little robot:? ? ?

Little robot: "It's not what you think, Knotweed Yuren is not a bad person."

"Shunpei, don't hang up yet, I'll go to your house right away."

[Teleportation (Elementary) has been used, a total consumption of 300coins]

"Now?" Yoshino Junpei reflexively looked up at the clock, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

He was just about to tell the phone caller to come back tomorrow, but the knock on the door has already rang.

"So fast?!"

Opening the door, the boy in a white shirt and overalls was holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the person he was calling on the phone screen was himself.

"How close is your house to this?" Yoshino Junpei reluctantly gave up the entrance, "It's too late, there was a murder case yesterday, so you can stay at my house and don't go out at night."

"excuse me."

Atsushi Nakajima put on his slippers at the entrance, poked his head vigilantly outside the mission location shown on the compass, and scanned the inside of the room.

The table that had just eaten was full of plates and beer bottles, and the woman covered with a blanket was lying on the table and sound asleep, holding a bottle in her hand.

"Sorry, I haven't cleaned it up yet, it's a mess." Yoshino Junpei stood beside Atsushi Nakajima, "I'll make your bed for you, use my pajamas first."

"Excuse me."

I haven't seen the quest props yet, so in case of accidents, Atsushi Nakajima plans to stay at Yoshino Junpei's house first.

"By the way, what did you want to say when you called me earlier?"

When Atsushi Nakajima mentioned this, Junpei Yoshino hesitated, "That is, when we first met, I saw..."

"Look down!"

Although he still didn't understand the situation, Yoshino Junpei heard the anxiety in Atsushi Nakajima's words clearly. He lowered his head reflexively, and felt something brushing his scalp, and there was a roaring collision sound behind him, and he was astonished. Turning around, he saw a white tiger confronting a strange-looking monster.

"!"

Yoshino Junpei opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to speak for a while.

Before he even had time to figure out what happened, he suddenly found that in the room, his mother had slept too deeply and didn't notice what was happening around her. Now she was lying in a position less than two arms away from the monster, eerily quiet.

The white tiger raised its head and roared, bared its teeth and rushed towards the monster. The monster stretched out its arm to cover it, but the white tiger forcibly bit its arm to pieces.

Atsushi Nakajima took the opportunity to turn sideways, picked up Nagi Yoshino, stared at the battlefield, and stepped back vigilantly to the vicinity of Junpei Yoshino.

Without looking back, Atsushi Nakajima handed Nagi Yoshino who was sleeping abnormally in his hand to Junpei Yoshino who forced himself to calm down.

"Take your mother to a safe place!"

"you……"

Yoshino Junpei gritted his teeth. In order not to drag Atsushi Nakajima, he hugged his mother and ran out with all his strength. While running, he turned his head and shouted at Atsushi Nakajima, "I'll call the police!!"

[The 'tent' has been raised, the signal in the 'tent' has been blocked, and the entry and exit of people on both sides of the inside and outside has been prohibited]

Yoshino Junpei's words sounded together with the system prompt, and he was destined to not be able to call someone. Atsushi Nakajima didn't hold out hope at all, but just looked at the opposite side vigilantly.

"Where is the finger? Why didn't I find it just now."

"...Are you serious?"

"?"

"Look down."

Atsushi Nakajima lowered his head while being wary of the other side.

Immediately, he met a red-brown finger.

... No wonder there was no response from Yoshino Junpei when he went out just now.

Atsushi Nakajima tentatively squatted down, squatted to a certain level, and quickly picked up his fingers. Sure enough, there was an instant reaction from the other side, and the right palm of the black-gray curse spirit swelled rapidly, and patted Atsushi Nakajima across.

The white tiger dutifully stopped the curse spirit, and bit off the newly grown arm of the curse spirit.

[Sub-quest: Recover the fingers of Su Nuo on both sides (1/1)]

"Sub-quest: Recovering the fingers of the two-faced Su Nuo has been completed, and the reward is 1500coins. A total of 1500coins will be credited to your account. I hope you will continue to work hard."

The invisible little robot next to him looked at the submitted finger in the task bar, and suddenly realized that Atsushi Nakajima, like Yuzuhito Knotabagi, was also a tiger. He was a little curious: what would happen if Atsushi Nakajima ate one too.

For some reason, it was completely different from the previous one in Miyagi Prefecture. This time, the curse spirit brought by the finger was abnormal, as if it had been deliberately released by someone.Atsushi Nakajima manipulated the white tiger to hit him, somehow felt that this scene coincided with a certain day in the past.

Atsushi Nakajima: Alert.jpg

"No, let me check to see if anyone else is rushing here." Specifically referring to some supermodels with mana power, he couldn't even run away.

"I'm very sorry, I can only monitor the movement of important people within 100 meters of you, and the warning content 100 meters away is limited to birth, old age, sickness and death."

"Um……"

However, just when Atsushi Nakajima was thinking about what was wrong, and the white tiger under his control bit the throat of the magic spirit, the animal part suddenly screamed danger in his mind.

As if the heart was caught by a cold hand, every beat of the heart turned into pain, and the cold air invaded the heart from the outside to the inside, slowing down the blood flow a little bit.

"Warning: important people 'real people' are behind you."

"Warning: important people 'real people' are behind you."

"Warning: important people 'real people' are behind you."

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became quiet.

"..."

"Sure enough~" The tone rose, and a voice mixed with a smile sounded behind him.

"Let me just say, there seems to be the smell of a conjurer here."
