I was the favorite of all the members in the first episode, and I turned out to be BE

It has been three days since the end of the math competition.

Although the results of the competition have not yet been released, Komori Yu can guess that her results must be the results he is satisfied with after seeing Mr. Fujikawa's gentle and creepy eyes on her these days, so she has no burden to take the competition into consideration. The pressure went to the back of my mind.

And the little awkwardness between her and Coulom before going to Mihua Town, relying on the evasion she always used to deal with problems, both of them tacitly ignored the chat that day, pretending that nothing happened.

"Wow... isn't it too popular?" Relevant tweets kept popping up on the screen. I didn't expect it to become such a frenzy. Yu Komori, who was peeking at his phone during lunch, sighed in surprise, "How Even the fact that Miku-chan released a new album can be brushed off, this is simply a new popularity code."

Today is Yu Komori and the protagonist group have had a rare meal together in the past two weeks. The cold wind is blowing loudly on the roof. With the excuse of being cold, Komori Yu, who secretly posted by Coulom, started his daily brushing after eating. Push after-dinner activities.

As a result, I never expected that as soon as I opened the Internet, the news about the ramen case was overwhelming, and the intensity was even higher than that of psoriasis advertisements.

Coulom just closed the lid and put the finished lunch box and Ayu's bento box with miku stickers together. Hearing this, he looked up at Komori, who was very dissatisfied with Miku being removed and kept thinking about it Yu: "What hot is Ah Yu talking about?"

Takeshi Yamamoto raised his eyebrows and enthusiastically participated in the topic: "I know! It must be the "Ramen Shop Incident" that happened in Mihua Town a few days ago. I heard my dad mention it yesterday. "

"That stupid case?" Prisoner Hayato had also heard about it.

"Mom, she also saw news about this incident on TV." Said Tsunayoshi Sawada.

Komori Yu nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's it."

On the day Komori Yu went to Mihua Town to participate in the competition, the "ramen shop murder" happened at the ramen shop where she and Kurokawa Hana stopped briefly.

This was originally not a big deal in Mihua Town, where the folk customs are simple, but unexpectedly, in just a few days, public opinion fermented rapidly, and the popularity continued to rise. According to the information, although the murderer was coded, the complex father-son relationship between him and the victim's store manager once became the focus of attention in the streets.Now as long as you turn on the network, you will definitely see a notification popping up with a push-related message.

Many wives used this incident to warn their husbands, go out and be careful on the morning news together, and many dereliction of duty fathers began to get closer to their children secretly, for fear that they would become the next unlucky one. In short, this This incident has become a rare hot topic in recent times.

Collom, who seldom watched the news at home, showed a puzzled expression the more he listened.

Komori Yu saw her slightly blank eyes and immediately moved closer to her body enthusiastically. After all, she has always been willing to help others, especially beautiful women.

While turning the screen of the phone to Coulom so that she could see the report of the above case clearly, Komori Yu said: "The Internet is really too exaggerated, and any story can be made up. What psionicist said in an interview is that There is an evil spirit haunting the ramen shop."

Culom narrowed his eyes, looked at the screen and said hesitantly: "Ayu is talking about this psionicist Menta?"

When I first saw the surname, Yu Komori thought it was the pigeon and added some new anime, so scared that I almost threw the phone out. Later, I found out that the surname was the same, so I was relieved. She didn't want to be dragged away by some evil religion on the road. Smile.

"That's right! I finished watching his interview video, this guy is definitely a liar." Not a liar of a master, Yu Komori complained without mercy, "But although it is completely nonsense, it sounds interesting to make up , ups and downs, with a beginning and an end, and the elements of light novels that are currently fashionable—I suggest that he change his career to become a writer, and he will definitely be able to win the Horror Novel Award.”

"Ayu thinks he's talking nonsense, could it be that Ayu knows the truth?" Collom said keenly.

"Speaking of which, Ayu probably went to Mihua Town for the competition a few days ago." Takeshi Yamamoto was thoughtful.

Not only did she meet, but she also passed by the murderer!

Yu Komori wanted to exaggerate her experience, but when she thought of the unintentional eye contact with that boy that day, the joking thoughts disappeared. She just blinked and said honestly: "I didn't meet, I just I just ate ramen at that restaurant. Later, I was shocked when I saw that the murderer caught by the police was someone who had eaten ramen at the same table!"

The smile on Takeshi Yamamoto's face stopped for a moment.

Looking at their serious faces, Komori Yu looked innocent: "So I didn't say that?"

"Absolutely not."

"Ah, that's probably because I forgot." Komori Yu laughed without haze, and scratched his head very heartily, like a silly Tom cat.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is forgotten, she knows that this is called escaping, she thinks.

When encountering stimuli beyond the range of mental tolerance, the psychological self-protection mechanism of cowards like her will automatically trigger, isolate or fabricate some of the facts of personal experience from consciousness, deliberately ignore them, and avoid causing mental unhappiness, for example...

For example, she forced herself to forget the fear and pain born the moment she heard the murder.

She forgot her fears, but also her insecurities and anxieties.

All that's left is the little melancholy and the inappropriate "humor" that's desperate to lighten the mood.

Cowards live in this hard world, and they always have to experience the pain that those brave people can't find. The escape that the brave people abandon can give them the courage to survive. Yu Komori has rich experience in this regard.

The murder case cannot break the cognitive fiction, which will cause the fear of being forgotten, so she ate her curiosity about the truth like strawberry cake.

In order to make Xiaohua happy and avoid the oppressive atmosphere brought by death, she said stupid things and acted as a funny clown.

But now, recalling terrible memories, one cannot fear, one cannot mourn, one cannot contemplate deeply, and even the thought of realizing that this is a terrible past has been deliberately deleted. Komori Yu said it as if he was just mentioning ordinary news, not something personal. experience.

"But I didn't see anything." She said easily, "When the incident happened, Xiaohua and I had already gone to the opposite coffee shop to eat cake. Apart from knowing that there was a homicide, I didn't know the details before seeing the news. What happened."

"Is that right?"

Without external force, Ah Yu is also a fragile, sensitive coward.

Cowards are not only afraid of happy cotton candy, but also deceive themselves and make up fairy tale lies.

Someone pursed their lips, their false smile deepened, but their eyes became more gloomy.

"That's right." Komori Yu didn't know anything, and confidently performed the standard action of a detective, "Speaking of which, I was very lucky. Not only did I escape the moment of seeing the horrible murder, but I also ate very delicious food. Cake, the clerk in that store is still my favorite gentle sister—oh my God, it’s not because my luck in drawing cards has been transferred to reality, right?”

Gokuji Hayato slightly straightened his body leaning lazily on the railing, seeing her nonchalant and overly stupid look, he suppressed the anger choked in his throat, and moved his eyes away.

"Is that the coffee shop that classmate Hua mentioned?" Collom didn't go to see the prison temple, she just stared at Yu Komori intently, and asked softly.

"Yes!" Komori Yu gestured with his fingers, "That store is really delicious. The signature strawberry cake is softer than clouds, and the honeydew melon cake is just right. I regret that I didn't share with Collom before You have been there!"

Coulom: "In that case, we can go again when the weekend is off."

Yu Komori waved his hands vigorously to express his protest: "I really want to go again with Coulom, but even the employees of the coffee shop in Mihua Town are apprentices of detectives, so forget it."

"Is Ah Yu worried about encountering another crime?"

"Well……"

Komori Yu frowned in distress. She would not feel embarrassed to admit that she was timid, so if she was only worried about another murder case, she would simply nod her head when Coulom asked.

But lah!but!She wasn't just worried about murder or something, that was one of the reasons, but not the whole reason!The root cause of her not wanting to go to Mihua, the most important reason is that Bourbon, Rum, Ley and Shirley are now gathered in Mihua Town!In addition, Belmode, who sneaks over to see the angel and the silver bullet from time to time... Oh my god, the Karasuma group is carrying gin and his little brother Tuanjian!

She is just a passerby, and she doesn't want to be discovered by detectives at all, and she doesn't want to experience the FBI or Japanese police ISWATCHINGYOU.

Passerby A should not be noticed, and live in troubled waters on the background board.

…Even these words can’t be said, she can’t tell the truth of the world to the protagonists in the book, and naturally she can’t tell them the fate of other protagonists in the same world, she is like Sybil under the light of the sun god that kind of role.

After all, she still had to act stupid in the end... Komori Yu secretly sighed while their eyes were elsewhere, feeling that he was really responsible.

"...It's not that I don't want to go again." She thought about her words, and her speaking speed unconsciously slowed down, "It's just that delicious cakes can be eaten anywhere, and rice crackers are not only far away from here, but also have potential risks. Its cake is not good enough to make people overlook these shortcomings."

"Well, is that so?"

"Yeah, that's right, instead of going to try your luck again, it's better to go to the commercial street to eat cakes after the break - I saw that there are new products coming out!"

Coulom seemed to agree with her statement, "Then how about we go to the Commercial Street to eat cake tomorrow?"

"Okay~!"

Making an appointment for tomorrow, Yu Komori remembered what Toru Amuro said when he left Poirot.

"By the way, Coulom!" She touched the bangs on one side, where she left the cake hairpin at home because of school regulations, "The store we went to buy the hairpin is in the commercial street, right?"

The gentle smile on Kurom's face did not change at all. She looked at the girl's light-colored eyes under the sun, and nodded slightly: "Yes. Why did Ah Yu suddenly ask this?"

"The clerk in the coffee shop asked me where I bought the hairpin, but now I suddenly think about it, I always feel that I didn't buy it in the commercial street..." Komori Yu was confused. The memory of buying and issuing cards, but my intuition questioned the past memories, and those details were gradually blurred due to doubts.

I didn't buy it in the commercial street, where did I buy it?

Did you buy...?

The hazy mist in the memories gradually became clear, a familiar hand held a familiar hairpin and handed it to her, and then a soft voice sounded...

"Ayu?" A soft voice sounded.

It was Collom who held Yu Komori's hand.

The author has something to say:

Linghuan, Master: A character with "100% psychic power", Xinlong Linghuan, a top-notch liar master.

The reason why Ah Yu’s last chapter was too sandy is the psychological self-protection mechanism. Not only the last chapter, there have also been many different forms of self-protection mechanisms before!

The comments in the previous chapter showed that there was a problem with the card issuance, let me kiss the smart babies!I didn't dare to reply to the comments because I was afraid of spoilers, so let me praise you all for being smart here! ! ! mua~!

Today, on the last day of 2021, I took out a chapter and updated it. Although the end of the Gregorian calendar is not over this year, it will definitely be over before the Lunar New Year. Two-thirds of it has been written (clench fist)!

Say Happy New Year to everyone in advance! Happy 2022!
