I teach kendo in Tokyo

Just as Kazuma put away his sword, Tamamo suddenly threw a talisman, and the ash that was about to fly away was suddenly frozen and turned into an ice sculpture in the shape of smoke.

Kazuma looked at Tamamo in confusion: What are you doing?

If you let her go like this, she will simply enter a vegetative state. Just now, Dream Eater said that she once forcibly destroyed the soul of the senior sister, and the result was serious damage and direct immune system disorder. So if I want to do something, I should Can this disorder be reproduced?”

As Tamamo spoke, she conjured up a miko, a common tool used by shrine maidens, and used the end tied with a paper band to draw a circle on the ground around the smoke sculpture condensed from Akanishi's soul.

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: You mean...to pretend that this incident was because she was too involved in playing and that she had a physical problem? Can immune system disorders lead to vegetative state?

I don't know. Tamamo shrugged and began to add text and other patterns into the drawn circles.

Kazuma: You are a student of Tokyo University, how could you not know?

Tamamo was happy: I don't hate this joke coming here. In short, it is more reasonable to have a disorder of the immune system leading to a vegetative state than to suddenly become a vegetative state for no reason. There just happened to be a bacterial epidemic here.

Kazuma nodded: That's true. But...

Tamamo stopped drawing on the ground and looked up at Kazuma: What?

Kazuma scratched his head and didn't answer immediately.

Tamamo asked tentatively: Don't you think it would be better to let others suspect that we caused her to become a vegetative state?

How is that possible? I don't want to take the blame for this. It's just... I don't take the blame at all. I just walked away from this matter. Can I still consider myself a hero from now on? Kazuma looked at Tamamo with a serious look on his face. Ask for her opinion.

Tamamo also said in a very serious tone: Of course you can. You tried and punished the criminal and saved the people who may be harmed by her in the future. This is an out-and-out heroic act.

Kazuma asked back: But I violated procedural justice. Although procedural justice will inevitably lead to some people who are good at taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to escape punishment, it also ensures that no one can be above the rules.

Now I am out of procedural justice and judge others. If I am biased in the future, who will judge me?

Tamamo temporarily stopped drawing the magic circle on the ground, stood up and walked to Kazuma, holding the royal coin like a whisk, and then changed herself into a complicated and gorgeous miko costume.

The white feather fabric outside the miko costume is printed with ink-colored crane patterns and trimmed with gold threads.

I have always tried to think and speak from a human perspective. She said to Kazuma, Please allow me to say a few words from the identity and position of the great monster Tamamo Mae.

She paused and considered her words for a moment before speaking:

I was born a powerful monster, why I am the stronger one, I don't know and I don't care.

As a powerful monster, I have always had powers that transcend ordinary monsters. It was natural for me to capture the snow girl to cool off and use the refined oil of the wet girl to nourish my hair.

“So many monsters—and of course many humans—see me as a cruel monster. But at the same time, I am also a god in charge of harvest and marriage, and I also arbitrate disputes between monsters from time to time.

“Because I have my principles and my concepts of good and evil, which have never changed, and they guide me in exercising my powerful power.

Kazuma, the same goes for you. As long as you stick to the goodness in your heart, you don't need others to judge you.

Kazuma was about to nod, but suddenly he raised his eyebrows: That's not right, you are bewitching me. Dream Eater Tapir reminded me that you are a monster who is super good at bewitching humans.

Tamamo smiled and said: I am just using my power to confuse people to eliminate your hesitation. It is you who decide to take this path.

Kazuma took a deep breath.

That's right, it was Kiryu and Kazuma himself who decided to take this path.

From the moment he decided to kill Tsuda Masaaki, he had already embarked on this path.

——I was convinced that Tsuda Masaaki was guilty, so I swung the knife without any hesitation, without any hesitation.

After that, I also killed a series of people who I thought were guilty.

There was no procedurally fair trial.

I judge all sentient beings with My justice and then execute them.

Similarly, I also decided to save Bai Feng with my justice.

Thinking of this, Kazuma suddenly laughed: Am I a bit too hypocritical to consider procedural justice until now?

That's right. Tamamo started to draw the pattern on the ground again, But I don't hate this kind of hypocrisy. I've hesitated when I should, and then just follow the path you chose and run all the way to the end.

Kazuma: Run wildly, run wildly, and disguise well. I'm begging you, Dandanzi.

As you command, my lord.

Wait a minute, why did you become the lord?

In Japan, this is how retainers should be called master.

Spare me, I prefer us to be partners than retainers. Don't you think it would be more interesting to call us Aibo (the Japanese pronunciation of partner)?

Tamamo looked up and looked at Kazuma with a smile: Think carefully, you can have many retainers, but Aibo can only have one.

Kazuma scratched his head and hesitated.

Tamamo sighed: Oh, I knew it. Man.

While she was talking, she finished drawing the last stroke of the pattern, clapped her hands and stood up: Okay! Let's try to see if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll trouble you to take the blame.

Kazuma: This pot is quite big if you think about it carefully, and it may bring you all with it. For example, if we play extreme games together, Akanishi can't stand it.

Indeed. Then I hope I can succeed. I think it won't be a big problem.

After saying this, Tamamo closed her eyes and muttered something while shaking the royal coin in her hand.

What she was reading seemed to be Sanskrit, which was outside the scope of preparation for Tokyo University. Kazuma had never dabbled in it in his life, so he couldn't understand it at all.

As Tamamo chanted, the magic circle on the ground lit up.

The shattered soul of Akanishi Feng, illuminated by the light of the magic circle, turned into liquid bit by bit like ice and snow melting, and was absorbed into the magic circle.

Kazuma: Is this enough? Do the visual effects just absorbed into the magic circle mean...

I stuffed her shattered soul into my body again, and simulated the damage you caused as active consumption. Tamamo explained, We'll know if we wake up and see if it works. Let's go. .”

After saying Let's go, she clapped her hands three times.

The next moment, Kazuma opened his eyes suddenly, and then he was blinded by the morning light. It took several seconds for his eyes to regain sight.

There are still bright spots of green remaining in the entire field of vision.

What he saw at this time was similar to the electronic paste of some old pictures in the Internet era.

Because of the heavy wind and rain last night, the hotel windows were boarded up, but now they are bright.

From this, it can be judged that it has been dawn for some time now, otherwise the hotel would not have enough time to remove the wooden boards.

Kazuma sat up, just in time to see Tamamo get up as well, rubbing her eyes.

The two looked at each other and then looked for Akanishi in unison.

At this time, Kazuma's room was still the same as last night, and the girls in the dojo were sleeping all over the floor.

Mikako put her feet on Haruyu's chest, and the soles of her feet pushed the dwarf's chin.

Qingliu was obviously very uncomfortable and frowned in her sleep, but she was exhausted from singing and fighting monkeys last night, so she still slept soundly.

Kazuma quickly found Akanishi who was squeezed into a corner, and ran over using his hands and feet.

Tamamo was one step slower than him, and by the time Tamamo arrived, Kazuma had already turned Akanishi over, who was sleeping face down.

Akashi's forehead was completely soaked, with large beads of sweat hanging on his forehead, and his breathing was rapid.

He Marco has been here since 2020 and knows the epidemic prevention manual by heart. At a glance, he can tell that the fever is caused by immune system disorders.

Fever is originally a defensive response of the human immune system, using high body temperature to kill foreign objects that invade the body.

The way marketing accounts and jokesters like to express it is I admit that I am gambling, but today you and the virus will die.

After the immune system is disordered, the immune system treats normal cells as invading species and begins to attack them, which can also cause fever.

Kazuma mouthed to Tamamo, It worked.

Tamamo nodded, and then started acting in a second: What's wrong with Miss Akanishi?

Kazuma: You have a fever. I'll call the female general and you can take care of her.

Okay. Tamamo nodded, then raised his voice, Chiyoko!

Chiyoko yawned, pushed away the low table that was pressing on her and got up: What's wrong? I'm here...

Miss Akanishi has a fever, come here and help me move her to a place with good air circulation.

Just ask my brother to move... Oh, here I come. Chiyoko came to her senses and waved to Kazuma, Brother, please go find the female general and the others to help. The window is bright... the female general and the others have come and opened the window. Are the wooden boards on the ground? How come they didn’t notice anything strange about Akanishi?”

Nonsense, Akanishi probably wasn't in a vegetative state at that time.

While Kazuma said this in his heart, he spread his hands: I don't know.

Okay, brother, let's go quickly. Miss Akanishi is sweating so much, and I have to wipe her body first. It's hard for you to handle it, brother. And take Huashan out too.

Kazuma looked around and found a man lying next to the chest of drawers. He picked him up and walked out the door.

Last night, Huashan and Sister Gan were drinking each other, and they fell unconscious early.

Kazuma carried Hanayama to the door of his house, opened the door and threw him in.

Boom!

Ouch!

Kazuma, who was looking relaxed, turned around to find the female general, Ms. Ubashima.

**

Half an hour later.

The doctor of the Ground Self-Defense Force came out of the room, glanced at Kazuma, and then at Meiji University's Fantasy Creature Research Association, President Takei, who was next to Kazuma, and sighed: Immune system disorder, I heard that she had Have you ever had this disease?”

Yes, President Takei nodded, But it was already cured that time. And Akanishi said it won't happen again.

Lu Zi's military doctor shook his head: What are you thinking? All the cases of this disease discovered so far are chronic, and multiple recurrences are common. Don't think she has a cold just because she has a fever. Her condition is very bad now, and it is recommended that she be transferred immediately Treat him at a large hospital. The nearest large hospital is in Sendai, so send him there first.

Takei: Please.

The military doctor looked at Takei like he was a fool: What are you talking about? Why did you just ask me?

Eh? Didn't Lu Zi send him there? I see there is a helicopter...

That's a Chinook from the US military. What are you thinking about? Also, sending out Chinese vehicles to transport civilians is a lot of trouble. You have to go to seven or eight departments to get approval. You'd better ask local residents to rent a car to transport people there. OK. I will issue a pass for this Miss Akanishi and one of you, so that you can pass through the epidemic prevention blockade.

Although the Americans have spared a lot of war criminals, they have put a lot of effort into tying Japanese dog leashes. In order to prevent the Self-Defense Forces from going off alone like the Japanese army did back then, they set up a lot of cumbersome dispatch procedures for the Self-Defense Forces.

These are all to ensure that the current civilian government can fully control the Self-Defense Forces.

Later, Hideaki Anno joked about this when he was filming Shin Godzilla. The self-defense force’s armed helicopters had to use Vulcan cannons to deal with Godzilla. They had to ask for instructions step by step. Finally, the Minister of Defense asked the Prime Minister whether to fire the cannon. The Prime Minister nodded. Only then did the attack order be issued.

Taking the advice of the military doctor, Takei immediately turned around and ran to rent a car without even saying goodbye - this is very impolite behavior in Japan.

The military doctor didn't mind. He looked at Kazuma: What did you do last night? There was no alcohol in her body at all. It shouldn't be a symptom caused by alcoholism.

Kazuma: I don't know...

Suddenly Hema remembered something they had done while having fun last night, and hurriedly said: Oh, by the way, after we had fun last night, we imitated Wuthering Heights.

It just so happened that it was windy and rainy yesterday, so we removed the wood sealing on the windows in the corridor, opened the windows, and then took turns going to the windows, opening our arms against the wind and rain, and shouting, 'Catherine, come back and take my Catherine '.

The medic frowned at Kazuma.

Kazuma: You haven't read Wuthering Heights?

The military doctor shook his head: No.

Then your life is lost... Well, this book is not that amazing yet, so there is no need for this joke. But the scene in Wuthering Heights where Heathcliff opens the window and calls to Catherine in the storm is really classic and very shocking. A lot. The work will pay homage to this scene.”

Military doctor: Really?

Yeah, for example... Kazuma almost blurted out Uminako When It Cries. The scene in Uminako where the owner calls the golden witch Beatrice is a tribute to Wuthering Heights.

But Seacat Cry has not been created yet, so I can’t say. He Ma temporarily thought of another way, but couldn't think of it at once.

Fortunately, at this time, the hotel hostess Ms. Ubashima came out of the room behind the doctor and gave Kazuma a direct look: You removed the wooden boards in the corridor? Do you know how hard it was for us to clean up the rainwater and fallen leaves in the corridor this morning? If not Our hotel is used to artists being crazy, so I’m going to fine you.”

Kazuma scratched his head and bowed repeatedly: I'm sorry.

Interrupted by Ms. Ubashima, the military doctor no longer cared about any works paying homage to Wuthering Heights. He changed his expression to a preachy one and said seriously: Just because you did this kind of thing, this person named Akanishi The girl caught a cold and her immune system disorder relapsed. I must apologize to her parents properly from now on!

He Ma nodded repeatedly: I will, I will.

However, he knew that he would not apologize to the murderer's parents.

Because there is nothing wrong with seeking justice, and there is no need to apologize if there is nothing wrong.

After the military doctor finished his lecture, he snorted: Then I'll take my leave first. I still have a lot of things to do. Miss Akanishi only needs to do some cooling. Prepare some ice cubes and wait for the car to come and put them together with the ice cubes. Go up and send it to Sendai and they will find something to do.

Ms. Umashima bowed to the military doctor: Sorry to trouble you.

Kazuma also bowed: Thank you for your hard work.

The military doctor nodded and walked away with military strides.

Ms. Umashima straightened up and looked at Kazuma with a complaining look: You guys, what are you doing? Try to imitate Wuthering Heights. I asked you why I had a nightmare last night. It turned out to be your ghost.

Kazuma: The wind and rain were so loud last night, our shouting is trivial. We are definitely not the cause of your nightmare.

Ms. Umashima sighed: Miss Akanishi is also miserable. When she came here last year, her lover passed away. At that time, I felt that her body was a little weak. This year, I came to visit the grave. Oh, who dares to come and stay with me now? This is the hotel.”

Kazuma: Don't worry, the little senior here who looks like an elementary school girl is the president of the New Kaidan Research Association. Many OBs in this research association are folklorists. They will definitely be happy to study the folklore here.

Ms. Umashima's face immediately brightened: Really? Then we need to introduce more of them to live here! Although I don't know those things as well as Grandma Noda, but I have lived for sixty-one years, so I can talk to them about it. Talk about the folk customs here!”

Kazuo smiled and said: I will tell Tamamo, she seems to be the next president of the New Kaidan Research Association. However, if you want to receive folklorists, you should keep a few wolf dogs to be on the safe side.

Eh? Why? Ms. Umashima looked at Kazuma in confusion.

If the folklorists attract something strange, the dogs can kill them.

Ms. Umashima was stunned for a moment, then patted Kazuma on the shoulder: I hate you, Kazuma-kun. It's not good to scare the old lady!

Kazuma shrugged.

**

At noon, Takei finally got the car, put Akanishi and a large piece of ice that the hotel had taken out of the cold storage together, and set off with the pass issued by the military doctor.

This matter seems to have come to an end.

In the afternoon, producer Houichi Oiwakawa found Kazuma and told him that he had received definite news and that the blockade could be completely lifted after a week.

The news released by the government is that a new type of cholera has been discovered. It is not very transmissible. Just make sure to drink boiled water. After speaking, Oiwakawa Hou glanced at Kazuma and said, I see you recovered so quickly, Mr. Kiryu. Why don't you want to come here? The virus is really nothing serious.”

Kazuma: Cholera is an infectious disease caused by bacteria.

Eh? Isn't it a virus? I don't know about it at all. Houichi Oiwakawa shrugged, As expected of a Tokyo University student, he knows a lot.

Hearing this, Kazuma shook his head and smiled.

At this time, Houichi Oiwakawa said again: Teacher Kiryu, be careful in your private life in the future. We will let the public relations department keep an eye on the media about this matter this time. We all believe that you are paying tribute to Wuthering Heights, and as a result, Miss Akanishi was punished. It’s cold. Others may not believe it.”

Kazuma nodded: I will pay attention. I'll trouble you this time.

No trouble, no trouble, we have got a song that will become popular in Japan. The B-side song this time is Mr. Kobayashi's own original song, but the song you have already written must be handed over to us for distribution. We You can choose any of the singers under our banner. Even if they are not under our banner, just mention them and we will do our best to promote cooperation.

Kazuma glanced at Oiwakawa and waved his hand: No problem.

Dealing with capitalists is sometimes simple, as long as you make them profitable.

Next, if we want to fight against welfare technology, we may have to use the power of Sony Group.

Kazuma thought this while admiring the sunset outside the window.

The violent storm last night made the air especially fresh today.

At this time, Kazuma suddenly heard that the village hall's loudspeaker, which had been silent for a few days, started to sound again, playing Dvořák's From the New World.
