Chapter 76: Sneaking a Goblin on the Train

After arriving at the train station, after waiting for a while, the first-year students got on the Shinkansen.

There are double rows of sleepers on both sides of the not-so-wide aisle. Taking this into account, the carriages are not allocated according to classes, but the four classes are divided into boys' carriages and girls' carriages.

But it was still nighttime, so the boys and girls who were excited about the long journey could not stay in their cars.

The seat Li Wu chose was a lower bunk. Above him was Tsubasa Mizushima, and opposite him were Mahiro Teraya and Masaki Uehara.

He was standing by the bed and opening his backpack, intending to take out a novel to kill some time, when someone tapped him on the back.

Looking back, I saw Aoi Hoshikawa with a piece of cloth tied to her head that said "Forward!"

Behind her were a large group of girls from Class B and other classes, which instantly increased the volume intensity of the carriage by three percentage points.

"We're here to raid the boys' compartment!"

She announced, and the light behind her took Airisa's arm and raised her hands, like the left and right guardians of an unknown organization.

The vampire girl stared blankly at the aisle at her feet: "There are so many girls and so many people. Why isn't there even a tunnel here?"

“It’s a big problem if there are tunnels!”

It seemed that someone from the girls' side suggested that they come to the boys' side to have some fun, so it turned into this kind of social scene.

Small groups formed in twos and threes suddenly filled the car, which was not very spacious.

The hot blonde girl with [Asian (in mimicry)] written on her head and her body seems to be some kind of slime-like creature is exchanging fashion knowledge with the girls around her. The [Intelligence Powerful] sitting next to Airisa, looks like The little girl who looked a bit gloomy walked freely in the carriage, casually throwing out gossipy topics and watching other people's reactions.

[Phantom Thief], who was almost suspected of being a suspect by Li Wu before, squeezed through the crowd, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Classmate Li Wu, are you looking forward to this trip?"

Although he felt it was too formal, Li Wu still stretched out his hand and shook it: "I'm quite happy."

He put on his other hand: "Me too. Since I feel the same way, do you feel that our bond has deepened?"

Li Wu quickly withdrew his hand and leaned towards Guang who was sitting next to him: "Not really!"

[Phantom Thief] looked happy and left.

Both Hikaru and Hoshikawa brought a lot of snacks, and now they are eating chocolate chip cookies in the shape of mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

"Speaking of which, is Mr. Li Wu a mushroom or bamboo shoots fan?"

Hoshikawa Aoi handed him the biscuit: "You must be a bamboo shoot pie like me, right?"

The mushroom and bamboo shoot war started by this company in the 80s has continued to this day, and the intensity of the war is comparable to Donghua’s sweet and salty tofu brain battle.

"You're too naive, Miss Investigator, Xiao Wu must be a mushroom pie." Guang also handed over the snacks she was holding, "This is my judgment as a childhood sweetheart."

Both cookies were handed to him.

Li Wu thinks that this kind of dispute can be fine no matter what. If he had to insist on it, he would choose the spicy tofu noodle type.

So he threw both chocolate biscuits into his mouth unceremoniously: "I think the shape is not important at all, the taste is the key."

Airisa, who had fallen into a state of weakness due to the large number of people, was leaning on the railing of the sleeper. When she heard this point of view, she immediately made a voice of agreement: "I think so too, but Xiaoguang and Hoshikawa-san must let Airisa Choose a side!"

"So it's Little Aipai? Then there's nothing we can do. Next time we fight, I'll kill you!"

Guang sadly took out his phone and changed the lock screen password to 2887 in front of Li Wu.

"Don't make me blow myself up just because of this! Those childhood sweethearts who are both high-level are not fighting for such a random reason!"

Xingchuan Aoi also took back the packaging bag in her hand unhappily: "Classmate Li Wu is really too greedy!"

In order to change the suddenly sinister atmosphere, Li Wu turned the topic to Airisa: "Why does Airisa look so lethargic?" He originally expected to hear complaints about not adapting to the collective environment, but he didn't expect her to blink. He blinked and said, "...I'm a little worried about mom."

She tapped the ladder connecting the upper and lower bunks with her index finger: "Dad suddenly went on a business trip without saying anything. What if someone comes to the house and attacks again?"

"The Headless Horseman claimed that he did not come for you. I don't think that is a lie. I have contacted another friend before and confirmed that the companies registered by werewolves have been broken up and returned to Ireland. I also asked her to pay more attention to your family. side situation.”

Li Wu comforted him: "Enjoy this study trip first."

Airisa nodded.

Aoi Hoshikawa suddenly let out a soft "ah" and said with some excitement: "I asked Sister Yuki about tourism knowledge about Longdu Island before going there, and I learned something interesting."

"What is it?"

Aoi Hoshikawa was mysterious: "It's a secret for now. Don't sleep in the early hours of the morning!"

"What an unreasonable request."

Guang rubbed her eyes. She also read comics all night yesterday.

"Horirin-san, just go to sleep if you want. There will be another chance in the future."

"Well……"

Guang stared at Xingchuan angrily for a while. Recently, she seemed to have mastered how to deal with Guang.

Dinner was a dining car lunch, and although it wasn’t very delicious, I couldn’t complain about it during the trip.

The train crossed the plains, sped westward, and finally entered the night.

The teachers accompanying the team soon came to drive the lawless students back to their respective carriages, and the noise gradually calmed down.

Before leaving, Hoshikawa Aoi reminded him not to forget the promise made in the early morning.

The boys who had been making trouble all afternoon also climbed into their own beds and closed their crotch curtains.

"How can we just waste the night on a school trip sleeping so easily!"

Tsubasa Mizushima's voice came from above.

"Except Mizushima-san who is too energetic, everyone wants to sleep."

Mahiro Terayama, who was sleeping on the lower bunk opposite, said coldly.

"So do you want to chat? What topic should we talk about?"

Above him, Masaki Uehara interjected with interest.

Anyway, he had to stay up until the early hours of the morning to figure out what Xingchuan wanted to do, so Li Wu casually agreed: "Can you tell me about the things that impressed you in the past?"

"Oh! Then I'll be the first one."

Mizushima Tsubasa took the lead: "The so-called school trip is also a kind of spiritual practice, so let me tell you how I led the Nange team to win the championship in elementary school..."

"ZZZ..."

"Is it that boring?!"

"This passionate atmosphere really doesn't fit in with the night. Let's change!"

Li Wu didn't think so.

Next was Masaki Uehara's turn: "This happened not long ago. I helped a dead idol ghost train her juniors, and finally entered the Budokan."

"..."

"It turns out that if you follow too many idols, it will become like this..."

"It's for idols."

"It's true! Brother Li Wu, you should understand, right?! And I recently discovered that our classmate Aoki is also doing this! The idol is surprisingly close to us!"

Aoki-san... he flipped through the vague impressions in his mind, and he should be referring to the [Demi-human (mimicry)] girl.

She is really versatile.

"Really, my classmate turned out to be an idol chef, Aoki-kun is so unfortunate."

"Teraya! You are too venomous, so what experiences do you have to talk about?!"

It took a while for Terayama Mahiro to speak slowly: "Recently, I shot my sister in the head."

Uehara and Mizushima fell into silence.

"But she dodged and then beat me half to death. She's a terrible sister, right?"

"The bad thing is you!"

"Let's end this session..."

"Is it true?" "Should we call the police?!"

Even the boys around him were involved.

In the end, it wasn't Li Wu's turn to talk about the past.

It was almost early in the morning when the phone vibrated.

He got up lightly and came to the passage connecting the two carriages.

Hoshikawa Aoi was waiting there with her arms crossed, and beside her stood the sleepy Hikaru and Airisa.

"I thought you would call Shiratori, why does Airisa look like she wants to die?"

"I couldn't remember it even if I called her. The girls had a heated discussion about love in the evening."

The two of them whispered like thieves talking to each other.

"Arisa collapsed in the middle of the conversation."

Hikari added.

"So, what do you want us to see?"

Li Wu asked.

Hoshikawa Aoi pointed outside the car window, and several people came closer.

The train is driving across a rapid river from the bridge. This should be a tributary of the Shinano River, the longest river in Sakurajima. It flows northeast from its source into Niigata Prefecture, and finally merges into the ocean in Niigata City.

In the early hours of the morning, the rising sun has not yet risen, and only black silhouettes remain in the distant scenery. If this is the reason why Xingchuan engages in mysticism, then he really wants her to compensate for the time he spent sleeping.

But soon, a little silver light appeared on the river.

At first glance, I thought it was waves or some kind of plankton, but soon the dots connected into a line, and then expanded into a surface.

Like a whale exhaling, white mist pillars erupted like fireworks. Something jumped out of the water mist, spreading its film-covered wings to glide above the river.

Although it was still dark, the scales on their lower bodies still reflected silver light. They were fairies with human bodies, snake tails and dragon wings. As Li Wu watched, the words "Mei Lu Xin" appeared above them.

Groups of plum blossoms danced in the moonlight like a school of flying fish. One even jumped next to the train and flew with the speeding transportation. After meeting the eyes of the four people in the car, it waved a friendly hand. .

"This is……"

Li Wu held his breath, and both Airisa and Hikari pressed themselves against the window in surprise.

"Isn't it amazing? I only found out about it after listening to Sister Yuxi. It seems that there are many species of phantom beasts near Longdu Island that cannot be seen in other places."

Hoshikawa Aoi introduced proudly.

Li Wu also heard her talk about the concept of the so-called phantom beasts. Basically, all non-human creatures except monsters born from stories and human emotions can be classified as phantom beasts.

Dragons, mermaids, phoenixes...even vampires and werewolves, leprechauns and even Godzilla and the Baltans can all fall into this category.

but.

"Why do fairies from King Arthur's legend appear in Sakurajima?"

Melousin is considered to be a variant of the Siren legend, and in the Arthurian legend is the sister of Vivienne, the Fairy of the Lake.

"Hey, hey, classmate Li Wu, is this the place that surprised you?"

Xingchuan lowered his head a little dejectedly: "I obviously thought the scene described by Sister Yuxi was very romantic, so I brought you to see it."

"No, it's really beautiful..."

At dawn, Li Wu and three girls lay in front of the clanking car door, passing by fairies like flying mermaids.

Finally, he was caught by Teacher Yamama who came to check the carriage and gave him a lecture.
