The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

Tokyo, a certain high school.

My wife Shanzhao, who was on duty today, packed up her things and prepared to go home as usual after work.

He picked up his schoolbag and put it on his shoulder, straightened his hair in front of the mirror, and then walked down the stairs humming an out-of-key tune.

Shanzhao is a person who is easy to be happy, although he is always considered not serious.

He went down the stairs, and met Tanhiko Kamodo who was also about to leave school.

"Good afternoon, Shanzhao." Tan Yan, who had just finished training in the sports meeting in the class, raised his hand, greeted him, and then asked, "What's the matter? You look more...happy than usual?"

Although Shanzhao is one grade higher than him, the brothers from Zaomen's family and my wife's siblings have had a good relationship since childhood, so they have already reached the point of calling each other by name.

"What does that pause mean?" The thick-browed boy looked at him suspiciously, but soon smiled again, "Forget it, I'm in a good mood and don't care about you."

"Dengzi isn't with you?"

"I went back a long time ago. I'm on duty today, so I stayed here." Hearing him mention his sister, Shanzhao replied, "You stayed so late to participate in the sports meeting, right? I really don't understand you people who love to exercise."

"I didn't want to exercise..." Tan Yan looked helpless, "This time, agreeing to participate in the sports meeting is already the limit, absolutely do not participate in sports clubs and the like, I am a firm home club."

"Why don't you like sports, you obviously run to school every day."

Shanzhao raised his eyebrows with an expression of 'what are you pretending to be an otaku'.

"That's because running faster can shorten the time spent on the road," Tanhiko explained, "so that you can sleep more."

"...you are so weird."

Moreover, there is also an older brother called "Phantom Thief of First Love" (Beyond the Kitchen Gate), and a friend who is always ignited with passion (Purgatory Taoshourou).

Shanzhao was thinking like this, not even noticing that he was also counted as a member of this gathering.

Chatting and chatting, the two had already walked outside the school.

"Hey, let me tell you," Shan Zhao seemed to think of something again, and said mysteriously, "Recently, I encountered something incredible."

"What is it?"

"Want to know? Hey, I really want to know!"

"..."

No, didn't want to know that much either.

Zaomen Tanhiko smiled wryly, and was about to cooperate with the conversation, when he suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.

The man was standing across the street looking at him. He was wearing a black and green plaid coat with a scar on his forehead and a knife around his waist.That face is [-]% similar to his own... Yes, it looks like his grown-up self.

The most important thing is that the earrings that look like flowers on the man's ears are exactly the same as the pair kept at home.

It seems to belong to a certain ancestor, called... Tanjiro Kamado?

At this moment, Tan Yan suddenly saw the man speak.

——"Go and help the other party."

The boy froze for a moment, and then a car sped past on the road, and when he looked across the street, the figure had disappeared.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. In fact, it was when I went to read my great-grandfather's novel yesterday morning..."

Shanzhao beside him was still talking to himself with a smile on his face, and the next second, a schoolbag was stuffed into his arms.

"Sorry Shanzhao, please take care of the bag for me! I'll pick it up at night!"

He clasped his hands together to apologize, then turned and ran.

"Huh? ... Hey! What's going on!?"

My wife, Shanzhao, stood there blankly, watching the other person's figure whizzing away, the speed seemed to be flying.

Those who can't catch up at all, or in other words, people can't even raise the intention to catch up.

"hateful……"

He muttered a few words, then resignedly took two schoolbags and started walking towards home.

"Are you giving up now? You idiot offspring."

Someone knocked on the back of the head suddenly, and it hurt a little.

"Wow, it's here again!"

My wife Shanzhao turned around clutching the back of her head, and saw a young man with blond hair tied into a single ponytail standing behind her, holding his arms with a serious face.

The golden coat and the saber at the waist, no matter how you look at it, it is not an ordinary attire, but his figure is translucent, and the pedestrians around him did not notice it.

Because he is a ghost, the ancestor of Shan Zhao - my wife Shan Yi.

"Hmph, how can you be so timid," Shanyi shook his head seriously and said, "Besides, I am obviously the fastest one, so it would be too shameful for you to give up just now, you are really neglecting to exercise."

Regarding this, Shanzhao also narrowed his eyes: "What are you pretending to do? You were so scared that you hugged my head and trembled when you first appeared."

'Ahhhhhhhh I'm already in heaven with Nezuko!where is this place!hell!help! ' shouted like this.

Obviously he is a ghost.

Thinking of this, the black-haired offspring of my wife's family couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at, you unworthy descendant!! You didn't even show a single cell when I killed ghosts!" Seeing that he was being laughed at, the blond young man widened his eyes and pulled his face hard, "Besides, I will I’m going to curse you! I’m definitely going to curse you! Give me the offering! Otherwise, I’m really angry!”

"It hurts! Let go!!"

"...Is that my wife's classmate? What's the matter?"

"I'm probably pulling each other with my fantasy again...Leave him alone and let's go."

Several students passing by whispered, and then quickened their pace.

Shanzhao collapsed: "I've been treated as a poor person! It's all your fault!"

Shanyi chuckled: "It deserves it."

……

At this time, somewhere in Nori's residence.

Fang Shi Yangming finished the draft of the new short story—he had several pseudonyms that were not found out, so he continued to update—then stretched his arms.

"It's really deserted recently."

Yansheng seems to be busy studying what ghosts can do. It is said that he wants to overcome the signal problem and go to other continents such as Africa to take a look.

Qian Zhi is actually on the side of the conjurer, and her every move is monitored, and she can't talk to her.

Haru Murakishima and Niyoda look closely... don't bother them.

Even Seinosuke is busy between work and taking care of Miya and Rikako.

Silently excluding the people he knew one by one in his heart, he was surprised to find that there was no one he could contact now.

"A little guilty... as if I'm the only one fishing."

Do you want to go out for a ride on your motorcycle?Wearing a helmet should have a slightly lesser chance of being recognized.

Just as he was thinking like this, the voice of Shinna Myoshin came from his mind.

【"Seeing that you are very idle, let me remind you that the 'center pillar' you fancy is in trouble later on."】

"trouble?"

【"Yes,"】the raccoon dog replied unhurriedly, 【"The invasion of 'Hell' has already begun."】

……

sleepy.

Why is it so sleepy.

The carriage shook violently, which brought Kanae back to her senses. She rubbed her eyes, only to realize that she almost fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage.

After waking up, the first reaction is to see which station has been reached.

"Next stop... Huh?"

Is the display board broken?

It is densely written with red words of 'next stop', and it is still scrolling, which is a bit uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath, and was about to ask the person next to her where she was, but the carriage shook again. Suddenly, the boy who had just helped her pick up the pendant and had been standing in front of the door opposite her fell down. .

"Huh!? Are you okay!"

Oops, if it's a heart attack, I'll be in trouble, and I'll have to rush to the hospital.

Kanae turned on the phone, but found that there was no signal.

"Please call the emergency number..."

Before the words fell, she finally realized that something was wrong.

——It's so quiet.

Although the sound of the carriage moving forward and the movement of the parallel train were still noisy, there was no human voice at all, not even the subtle sounds of reading magazine novels or coughing, which was too strange.

"That... is there anyone still conscious!"

She walked into the carriage to check the situation, only to find that everyone had passed out for unknown reasons.

what happened?

One side of the window is parallel trains, and the other side is a piece of gray, and I don't even know where I am now.

...Calm down, the more this is the case, the more calm you need to be.

First go to the driver's cab at the front of the car to check, if it doesn't work, pull down the emergency stop valve.

Kanae quickly made a decision in her heart, and then walked towards the front of the train.

"It's useless."

Suddenly there was such a voice beside him, it sounded like a young man.

"This train has already entered another space. Even if it stops in an emergency, it will only stop in an inexplicable place and will not be able to return to the world you are familiar with....Really, it is rare to go out and encounter such a thing. "

Someone in the seat took off his heavy hood, revealing short light blue hair.

"Are you...?" Kanae asked.

"Since you are still awake, it means that you are also a 'reincarnator'. The wavelength of your soul is different from other people, so you were not taken away immediately." The young man did not answer her immediately, but quickly looked around, then turned to look Facing the parallel trains outside the window, "So that's it... It's a disgusting god to use this method to drag a whole car of people into your own domain."

Then he thought for a while, and then said to Kanae: "My name is Yushiro, a painter."

"Painter?" Kanae thought for a moment, then realized, "Could it be that... Mr. Yushiro Yamamoto?"

The mysterious artist who has received a lot of attention in recent years has always only painted a woman named Zhu Shi. The paintings are so lifelike that they seem to exist in real life.

I didn't expect it to come from such a young man.

"Yamamoto is just a surname randomly drawn by lottery. My name is Yushiro, so you can call me like that." Yushiro said, pointing to the opposite carriage, "If you get there, you and the people in this car will I will never come back again, so stop gossip and solve the current matter as soon as possible."

Kanae nodded, and then asked, "What should I do?"

"First of all, give the other party a blow."

As he spoke, he twitched his fingers lightly, and a spell with eyes appeared out of thin air, signaling Kanae to stick it on his head.

Then, he rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, those light-colored eyes suddenly turned into animal-like vertical pupils.

"Boom!"

With just one punch, a big hole was punched through the car window.

"Listen to me!" He said through gritted teeth to the parallel train outside the window, "You garbage that has been hidden for more than 100 years, if you want to do something to my benefactors, I will let you feel the last one in the world." The wrath of a ghost!"
