stand-in creed

"Your son is not dead." Nero interrupted the singing instantly.

"...Huh?" Kira Yoshihiro was stunned.

Nero said very seriously: "The arrow was also destroyed by your son. If you want to know the situation of your son, please answer my question honestly - where did you get your arrow? How did you become a ghost? ?”

"..."

Kira Yoshihiro did not answer, but just looked at Nero coldly.

But when he saw the woman next to Nero, Kira Yoshihiro was shocked.

"You are... Suzumi Sugimoto?

"So that's it. It turns out that you, a damned woman, didn't die honestly, that's why this damned detective came to my son!"

Suzumi Sugimoto was taken aback: "You... your son killed me and my family, and you actually reacted like this?"

Kira Yoshihiro said as a matter of course: "That's your fault! If it weren't for you, my beloved son would not have walked on this path! If you could cover your hands, how could there be so many things?"

Suzumi Sugimoto, as a ghost, does not breathe.

But at this moment, Sugimoto Suzumi recalled the feeling of shortness of breath when she was angry for a long time.

"you you you you……"

Suzumi Sugimoto never expected that the old man would say such a thing when he saw her for the first time.

At the beginning, although she didn't say anything considering Nero's emotions, she felt a little sympathetic to whether the father who lost his son and boarded in the photo would be very pitiful.

But now—sympathy?

Sympathy for a ghost!

"Suzumi."

Nero put his hand on Sugimoto Suzumi's shoulder.

The gentle words reached Sugimoto Suzumi's ears, and the girl calmed down instantly.

"Nero..."

"After I finish asking him the question, can I kill him for you?"

"Ok!"

Suzumi Sugimoto nodded seriously.

This pair of dogs and men!Kira Yoshihiro was furious.

Nero immediately looked at Yoshihiro Kira: "Answer the question honestly, Mr. Yoshihiro Kira. Where did the arrow come from? How much do you know about ghosts?"

"...It seems that my son Yoshikage has also become a ghost wandering somewhere? Otherwise, you wouldn't ask that question, Nero Zeppelin." Yoshihiro Kira probably understood, But immediately there was a sneer on his face.

"I bought the arrows for a fortune from an old woman when I was traveling in Egypt!

"As for ghosts... I don't know! Although I really want to say that I know, I won't tell you. I can't tell you the information that may threaten my son Jiying, but I really don't know about the existence of ghosts. Just Even myself, only became a ghost because of the ability of "Father of Atomic Heart"! "

"I see. Thank you for your information. Your self-reported personality of the Kira family is really cute."

"……Um?"

Kira Yoshihiro was dumbfounded.

Where did the information come from?What did I say intelligence?

However, before Kira Yoshihiro could understand, Nero put his palms together again and sealed him in the photo with tape.

"Become a ghost because of the ability of "Killer Queen"?

"Isn't the Killer Queen's ability explosive? What does it have to do with ghosts? So the source is really——

"--arrow."

Chapter 70

"Suzumi, I have to go."

"Your clothes are still damp...how about this, I'll look for my father's old clothes."

"...I'm 1.9 meters five?"

"My dad is about the same height as you!"

Suzumi smiled.

Although I was a bit reluctant to leave Nero, I wanted to use the reason that the clothes were still fashionable to stay with Nero for a while.

But it can't be done.

The prisoner is still wandering in Duwang Town, and the later he is arrested, the more likely a girl like himself will appear, so he must not be willful in this kind of thing.

And when Suzumi collected the accumulated father's old clothes, Nero hesitated.

"Underwear is fine."

"That's right, it's underwear after all... But wouldn't it be weird if you didn't wear it?"

"The buttons of the coat are fastened, and there should be no problem on the outside."

"Ah."

After closing the study door, Nero changed his clothes.

After changing into the overcoat and trousers worn by Suzumi Suzumi's father, Nero smiled.

"I am leaving."

"I'll see you off... wait, get the umbrella!"

"it is good!"

"Don't do stupid things like walking in the rain next time!"

"no problem!"

Both seemed to be used to this pace.

Nero walked in front, Suzumi walked behind.

It's just that when the door of Sugimoto's house was opened, and when Nero was about to open an umbrella, the rain came with the wind, and things changed.

A gust of wind blows.

It's not a big wind, just an ordinary little wind.

What comes along with the wind is just some ordinary rain, the tiny rain that falls on this planet along with the natural water cycle.

However, at the moment when these raindrops splashed on Nero's arm, Nero relied on the stairway's insight comparable to that of the platinum star to see what was mixed in the raindrops that fell on his clothes.

"These mixed with the rain--

"——It's "Killer Queen" ahhhhhh! ! ! "

puff puff!

Nero's right arm was spattered with blood.

"Ni-Lu--!!!"

Suzumi Suzumi quickly pulled Nero back into the house while screaming.

As for Nero, he looked at his right arm in disbelief, and recalled the scene just now in disbelief.

The fine and dense raindrops splashed on the sleeves, and in an instant, countless tiny holes were blasted in the coat.

Fry through the coat.

Blown through the shirt.

Subsequent raindrops fell on Nero's arm along these holes, and they exploded like "bombs".

Back in the room, when Nero took off his coat and shirt, whose sleeves were about to be blown up, what Nero and Suzumi Suzumi saw was a bloodied arm riddled with holes.In the place where the rainwater is most concentrated, you can even vaguely see the bones of the dead.

"Ni, Nero?!"

Suzumi Sugimoto covered her mouth: "Wait! I, I'm going to get the medicine box... Ah!"

Suzumi Sugimoto remembered in a hurry.

Although the old clothes from 15 years ago can be worn, the medical kit from 15 years ago is another matter, and the medicines are of course expired.

"...At least wrap it with gauze!"

"That, Suzumi. It's just a minor injury, don't get excited..."

"How could it be a small injury!"

Suzumi Sugimoto's eyes filled with tears.

It was Nero who was injured, but Suzumi Sugimoto seemed to be more sad than herself.

The girl carefully bandaged Nero up.

"Does it hurt, Nero?"

"It doesn't really hurt."

"You lied to me!"

"Uh……"

Say something.

Painful tears are about to flow down.

But if a man cries out for a little injury or even sheds tears in pain, he will even look down on himself.

Seeing Suzumi Suzumi's nervous expression, Nero comforted her.

"Relax, Suzumi.

"I know a friend who has the ability to heal no matter what kind of injury it is. As long as you find him, this kind of minor injury can be healed with ease!"

However, just after saying such comforting words, Nero's heart suddenly shrank.

What happened to Jousuke and the others? !

Suzumi Sugimoto probably didn't think of this, but said worriedly: "But we can't get out now, right?"

"Um……"

Nero was also silent.

Things are getting worse.

Could it be that after the death of Yoshikage Kira, the Killer Queen did not disappear, but ran away as an evil spirit?Combining things like carrying out terrorist attacks in the rain, but it doesn't have your social animal spirit of thinking about going to work after being beaten to death by me at all... Wait.

"its not right!"

Nero instantly noticed something was wrong.

Seeing Sugimoto Suzumi raised her head in a daze, Nero began to think: "I was on the way to your place, but there was nothing wrong with the rain from the beginning to the end. Why did this happen when I went out this time?"

"..."

Regarding the stand-in matter, Suzumi Sugimoto really had nothing to say.

It's just that he hugged Nero's arm with some distress, and looked at the blood-stained bandage with distress.

"Nero, have you been fighting such a terrible person?"

"horrible?"

"Although I don't know much about stand-in messengers, but...it's scary to think about it just by getting hurt like this in the rain, right?"

"..."

Is the old Yoshikage Kira scary?

Not scary.

Yoshikage Kira, who has no experience in stand-in combat, even with a stand-in as powerful as the Killer Queen, can't even splash a little water in front of him. In Nero's eyes, there is a feeling that such a strong stand-in is blind, which is terrifying at all Can't get up.

But it's different now.

Thinking of the scene when the door was opened just now, thinking of the countless tiny killer queens seen in the raindrops, even at this moment, there is a creepy feeling.
