The catastrophe of the heroine

The two discussed a lot about ghosts and monsters.Although he has always been able to see youkai, Natsume, who has never met anyone who can see like him, can't help but feel better.

"Sakura-kun really knows a lot. Although I can see it all the time, I don't know anything about monsters."

The young man bent his eyes, and his smile was soft and refreshing.He hadn't shown such a smile in front of people for a long time.

"That's normal. I understand that these can only be said to be coincidences."

Because I have watched many dramas and know the gods.

Shin Rin said as a matter of course: "After all, people can't understand each other when they just get acquainted, let alone get to know the monsters who chase you when they meet by chance. Most monsters will not be very kind to you. Chatting and exchanging information."

She asked: "Speaking of... Natsume, do you hate monsters?"

"Well... if possible, I would like to see youkai."

The young man was startled, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied with a low mood.

"Well, I can understand, I can understand." Zhen Rin nodded, "They are really annoying sometimes, more annoying than some humans."

"Eh? Human...?"

"If you want to make an analogy, meeting that kind of difficult high-level bad monster is more dangerous than gangsters with guns. If you see this kind of sight, you must run away. There is no difference between meeting those little monsters that can be knocked back with one punch, and meeting gangsters. Just rush up and hit it directly."

"So high-level bad monsters are bigger than gun-toting gangsters than little monsters and punks—to sum up, I don't even want to meet powerful bad monsters!"

"That...under normal circumstances, you wouldn't meet a gangster with a gun." Natsume Takashi said weakly.

Is Tokyo that dangerous?

I don't know why, but after making this complaint, he always felt that the girl's eyes showed a kind of weather-beaten vicissitudes.

It should be... an illusion.

……

For the time being, there is no solution to that thing on Kobayashi.

Although Ma Rin can beat youkai who come to make trouble and can beat them well.

But the monsters who saw this kind of negative emotion in the past always pretended not to see it or turned around and ran away.Haven't really tried to see if you can punch them away.

to be frank.

she was

feel

those things

It looks so disgusting.

It's much more disgusting than the painting style of monsters.

So, I don't want to reach out and touch them at all.

Zhen Rin also disagrees with Natsume's idea of ​​directly attracting that thing from Kobayashi.

After all, is it really worth putting yourself in danger for a guy who isn't nice to you at all?She didn't think it was worth it at all.

To be a human being is not to benefit yourself at the expense of others.

Of course, if the parties are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, it is not impossible.But this kind of great operation should be carried out on people who have a good impression or are really good.

That guy's attitude towards Natsume is too much.

So what if you let the kind of troublesome guy suffer a little bit?

Rin thought unhappily.

However, there is no need to say these words to the overly gentle Natsume.

"Let's observe it again." She just said, "If it looks serious...in fact, you can ask the gods for help."

Ah, although that idiot god doesn't seem to have found a new artifact yet.

By the way, she gave Natsume a little knowledge about gods.

It's really a little bit, because she is only familiar with a cheap Wuyuanshen who has the same voice actor as Natsume.Almost all other settings are forgotten!There are too many Japanese gods, and she couldn't remember them at all, so she forgot all of them even more confidently.

Marin saw Kobayashi in the next class again after two days of school.

It's not a chance encounter, but the class is engaging in activities.

A test of courage organized jointly by familiar students from the two classes.

To put it simply, it's a horror version of a social event?The reason is that a long-abandoned shrine not far from the school has suddenly become inexplicably popular recently.

A few days ago, several middle school students in the vicinity went there to explore, and after returning, something was not right, and some supernatural rumors passed down from their mouths that would make people scream and want to find out the truth.

In Marin's class, the students who like to make troubles in the class are also eager to find out, and after reaching a consensus with the friends in the next class, they start to pull people.

Of course, only voluntary participation.

The girl at the front desk, Yoshida Ami, thought about it, and dragged Zhen Rin to ask her to participate.

Marin originally didn't want to participate in any group activities, but she really couldn't stand the girl's coquettish behavior.

"Why do you want me to go with you?" It's not like she didn't ask this kind of question.

"Because Sakura, you don't seem to be afraid of ghosts and the like! It must be able to strengthen your courage!"

Shin Rin: "..." Thank you for your compliment.

Wakamatsu Bolong, who was seated next to her, also nodded in agreement. Shinrin looked over and asked with a bright smile:

"Wakamatsu-kun, do you want to go together?"

"No, I'm not good at this kind of thing..." Some timid basketball players refused quickly, "I still have club activities! Club activities are more important."

"Oh, what about the activities of the basketball club dominated by Seo-senpai?" Marin complained slowly.

Seo Yuzuki is Chiyo's best friend.

Sports cells are strong.

So the sports club often asks her to help.

But the way she plays is really hard to describe, and she is a person who doesn't care about the atmosphere at all... A person who ignores the rules and overturns the whole court is simply a big devil.In the end, it can exercise the unity atmosphere in the club very well.

Ruo Song: "..." He hugged his head and showed an expression of extreme reluctance to accept reality.

Gossip aside.

Anyway, Rin decided to participate.

At the gathering after school, Marin saw Natsume and Kobayashi among the people in the next class.

That dark guy was still attached to Kobayashi's body.Compared with the appearance of the previous two days, it has become a little bigger, and the smell it emits is even more foul...

This young man who was originally arrogant and energetic looked a little listless at this moment, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes. He was playing with the mobile phone in his hand, chatting with the classmates next to him casually.

When he raised his eyes and saw Zhen Rin, he was a little surprised, and his eyes were visibly vicious.

He obviously thought of something.

However, hesitation and unwillingness to believe were brewing in his eyes.

Rin didn't care about his gaze at all.

Marin didn't expect that Natsume would come to participate, but when he saw the other party's eyes also glanced at Kobayashi, he had an epiphany, probably because he was really worried that this classmate would have an accident suddenly.

Natsume didn't expect that Marin would come to participate, so she became happy and came over to say hello to her.When the students began to go in groups, the two decided to go together.

Yes, a dozen or so people didn't go in together. The operation of grouping to explore is put in a horror movie... maybe every minute will be a bit bad.

To put it bluntly, these students didn't take the supernatural legends that were circulating seriously, what they were looking for was an exciting feeling.

She was obviously dragged here by Yoshida, but because there were too many people in Yoshida's group, it was OK to add her, but Natsume from the next class couldn't bring her.Marin simply refused to be in a group with her classmates, and walked inside the shrine with Natsume.

It just so happened that both of them could see monsters, so they didn't have to hide themselves even if they bumped into something.

As for the destination, the interior of this abandoned shrine is dilapidated and desolate.

The two climbed up the steps and passed through the torii with some peeling paint.

The trees are lush and green, the evening wind blows, the sun sinks, and it is the time of magic.It was very quiet.

I don't know which god once lived here, and because of lack of faith, it completely fell.

The two of them chatted casually while looking around.

"Speaking of...the nameless gods will disappear without belief, isn't that right?"

Marin heard Natsume who was beside her ask this question.

"That's right." Marin nodded, "Speaking of... Natsume, don't you think they are pretty miserable too."

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

"Look... After all, the times are advancing, and there are more and more atheists. Japan claims to have 800 million gods. Except for the well-known gods who are worshiped by people during the New Year and holidays, most of the gods still need to survive. You have to work very hard, and the pressure of competition will be very high... I heard that some gods have kept pace with the times and learned the business methods of modern companies in order to maintain human belief in themselves. live, and then work hard to realize the wishes of believers, so no matter how strong they are, they are still social animals."

Anyway, in short, there are too many gods in this place in Japan, and the gods of migrant workers are the gods of gods.

She sighed: "I feel that the position of the gods shouldn't be like this."

It was the first time Natsume heard this kind of statement, and he rolled his eyes a little funny: "Then what kind of position should the god in Sakura's heart be?"

"Well—since you are called a god, you should be able to do whatever you want, right? You can create the world, turn your wishes into reality, decide the fate of human beings, etc.?"

"That would be really powerful..."

"Yeah... But, it's really scary to think about this kind of god from a human perspective. It would be great if it was a kind god. However, the stronger the power, the happier it is not necessarily the case. , maybe there will be various restrictions, and this kind of thing is not sure—"

As Rin was talking, he suddenly stopped and stopped.

Natsume also realized that something was wrong, and also stood still.

A gust of evening wind blew past, blowing a few scattered leaves on the ground. It was not quite like the wind in May, and it rarely carried a bit of biting coolness.

There were panicked footsteps in the distance, probably... belonged to humans?However, there is no certainty. The only thing that is certain is that something bad is really approaching.

Humans came first.

The boy who came out of the grass, wearing the same school uniform as them, hurried on his feet, panting, with disheveled hair, a flustered expression, and a few leaves on his head. He looked obviously embarrassed.

When he saw Marin and Natsume, Kobayashi's eyes lit up a little bit, and he couldn't care about his own face at this moment, and asked anxiously:

"Hey! I said... do you know something!"

"We don't call you hello." Zhen Rin raised his hand and pressed his head, his tone was cold, "And your endless talk makes people suspect that there is something wrong with you."

Xiao Lin was furious: "Don't be kidding, you guys know what's going on, right? Did you mess it up? After saying those inexplicable things two days ago, I started to be very unlucky. I tripped when going down the stairs, and I went back to school after school. The house was almost hit by a car! I have been having horrible dreams these few nights—”

"Where's your little friend?" Zhen Rin didn't answer his question, just asked.

"I got separated from Sato and the others! Since just now, I have been spared several times like a ghost hitting a wall!"

"Then what are you running?"

"I, I seem to... saw a monster!"

He hesitated for a moment, shouted, swallowed hard again, and turned his eyes to Natsume Takashi, who had not spoken much, as if he wanted to seek some approval.

"Hey, Natsume, let me tell you... Did you suddenly do those inexplicable behaviors because you can see, see something..."

Before he could finish his stumbling words, he saw Natsume's pupils constricted and shouted at him in panic: "Get out of here—!"

At the same time, there was a loud noise of the tree being forcibly split by something behind him.

At that second, he was also grabbed by the arm by the girl in front of him and flung him far away.

I didn't have time to wonder why a big boy like myself was easily thrown out by a girl, and I didn't even have time to worry about the pain of being suddenly pulled on my arm and the dust on the school uniform.

His eyes widened.

Where he was standing just now, a big hole was broken in the stone road.If you don't dodge, I'm afraid you will die tragically——

A monster floats in mid-air.

The tentacles were like sharp blades, forcibly cutting off the surrounding trees. The stench was almost enough to make people vomit, and the liquid flowing from the bumpy skin looked extremely disgusting.

The monster was not the one that possessed Kobayashi before, the monster on him had disappeared from the moment he appeared in front of them, Natsume and Marin noticed.

It was a more ominous, more foul-smelling... more dangerous guy than the one attached to Xiao Lin's body.

At this time, seven or eight scarlet eyeballs on the body were simultaneously turning.

Eyes locked, staring straight at them from the darkness.
