Tokyo Ghost Diary

When the club activities ended, the sky was already dyed in an intoxicating red-purple color.

The light of the setting sun slanted down, intertwining the shadows of the returning students, making them very long.

"See you next week then~"

"goodbye--"

The campus was full of laughter and farewells between friends, and Shimizu Yu and Suzuki Zemei also said goodbye at the school gate.

Walking alone on the way home covered by the setting sun, Shimizu Yu was in a pretty good mood. Today was Friday, he didn't have to go to school tomorrow, and he didn't have much homework. He could read a book and enjoy himself when he got home... That's what he was thinking in his mind , she suddenly saw a familiar figure from a distance. He was holding a bamboo sword in his hand and the sword was on his shoulder.

Gen Hoshino? Why are you holding the bamboo sword of the Kendo Club? Qing Shuiyu was a little unsure, and couldn't help but speed up his steps. Seeing that the distance was getting closer, the figure suddenly turned into the side road.

The gentle evening breeze blew the hem of the girl's school uniform. Shimizu Yu blinked her big, beautiful eyes and followed her into the alley.

Qingshui Yu felt that this road was a bit unfamiliar. It was obviously very close to home, but she had never walked on it before! There is a dense forest on both sides of the path. Only the relatively remote Koto District has such a large area of ​​land that can be used to plant trees. Places like Shinjuku Shibuya can only envy it.

I was thinking wildly in my mind, but the road had come to an end.

Qingshui Yu stood in the tree-lined path, staring blankly at the dilapidated gym in front of him, which was much smaller than the one in school.

The light of the setting sun shines through the dense forest, casting mottled red light spots, but this does not bring any warmth to the gym in front of you. When the cold wind in April blows, Shimizu Yu can't help but shiver.

Shimizu Yu quickly glanced around, and soon saw Gen Hoshino standing in front of the dilapidated gym with a bamboo sword.

He took out a yellow talisman-like thing from nowhere, held it against the bamboo sword with his index and middle fingers, and lightly rubbed it on the sword. The yellow talisman paper turned into fly ash, and the handle The bamboo sword emitted crackling lightning.

"Excuse me~" the young man said politely and cheerfully, and then walked into the gym door casually as if he were going home.

Shimizu Yu opened her mouth wide when she saw this scene, and her jaw almost dislocated. Her eyes widened, and her brain almost went blank.

what is that? superpower? Onmyoji?

By the way, isn’t this world all about science? The mysterious things in the novel really exist! ?

asshole! Someone who looks so foul actually has this incredible mysterious power? What kind of beautiful boy with super powers are you? This kind of routine is no longer popular even in light novels!

In the tree-lined alley, Shimizu Yu was alone and messy with his thoughts in his head.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and Shimizu Yu shivered and woke up instantly. No, no, what he just saw must be an illusion! How could there really be any superpowers in this world? That's incredible!

Not everyone can accept the impact of a shattered worldview instantly. Yu Shimizu rubbed her eyes hard and walked towards the gym. Unless she was allowed to witness it with her own eyes again, she would never accept that kind of thing!

Shimizu Yu quickly came to the door of the gym without a door panel, and looked inside with wide eyes.

This time her little chin was not dislocated, but her eyeballs almost came out of their sockets.

In the dimly lit dojo, two figures collided with each other, with dull roars and crackling thunder intertwined.

One person is holding a bamboo sword with flashing lightning, and the other is wielding a bloody demon sword filled with black mist.

One was wearing a Western-style college uniform and a neat student tie, while the other was wearing shabby clothes and was dressed like a rogue swordsman in the Dahe drama.

Every collision between them is like time intersecting here.

The battle was so fierce, the two figures were like two sophisticated fighting machines. Every time the opponent swung his sword, he would deliver a sword with a perfect angle and position.

The speed was so fast, it was like a passionate concerto being played in the room.

Compared with the visual impact of this kind of real fighting, Yu Shimizu even felt that the kendo competitions he participated in before were a bit like children's play house.

At this moment, Hoshino Gen suddenly shot out a piece of talisman paper from his left hand, turning into a red fireball and flying towards the swordsman. The firelight illuminated the gymnasium brightly. Shimizu Yu could clearly see the face of the Ronin swordsman, which was dark. Chaos, without facial features.

Shimizu Yu was so frightened that she took a step back, but her whole body was stiff at the moment. Just making such a movement seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Her pupils were shaken as she watched this battle that was beyond cognition and beyond common sense, and her teeth were chattering. She couldn't tell whether it was fear, excitement, or simply being frozen, but the only thing that was certain was that her current mind Very excited!

She tried to keep her eyes open, not wanting to miss any frame of this picture.

The red-edged demon sword scattered the fireball, but the boy with strange eyes approached the swordsman amid the scattered flames.

The white electric light flashed crazily, drawing a blazing fan shape in the air and hitting the swordsman's waist hard.

Sizzling—not the sound of an electric shock, but a violent reaction similar to cold water poured into hot oil. A large amount of black mist escaped from the place where the bamboo sword came into contact with the swordsman.

The swordsman's terrifying roar echoed instantly in the small dojo like a demonic sound. Yu Shimizu covered his ears in pain. The sound was even harsher than scratching the blackboard with his nails!

But even so, Gen Hoshino, who faced the demonic sound in the gym, seemed completely unaffected, except that his blue left eye lit up with an extremely unsettling scarlet light for some reason.

The demon sword cut out an afterimage and slashed towards Hoshino Gen's neck. The boy quickly dodged and retreated, so fast that the scarlet light from his left eye almost drew a red line in the air.

But when he dodged the attack, the bamboo sword also broke away from the swordsman's waist, so in the blink of an eye, the attack and defense changed.

The swordsman put the demon sword into the scabbard at his waist, but the figure bullied him at an incredible speed in front of the retreating Hoshino Gen. The swordsman held the scabbard with one hand and grasped the handle tightly with the other hand, lowered his body, and drew the sword.

The wind howled.

Draw your sword and chop!

The terrifying sword set off a violent wind in the closed dojo, and carried the terrifying power directly to the chest of Hoshino Gen, who was unable to dodge.

brush!

Something is broken.

Shimizu Yu covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he might not be able to help but scream.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, he could barely avoid the sword by standing on an iron bridge, but the bamboo sword in Hoshino Gen's hand had broken, and the remaining sword flashed twice with dim lightning, but it was quickly extinguished.

Hoshino Gen quickly rolled on the ground, away from the swordsman. When he stood up, he glanced at the half bamboo sword in his hand that had completely turned back into an ordinary object. He looked helpless: "Tsk... I lost again."

The swordsman pointed the demon sword diagonally at the ground and took a step closer to Ye Xingyuan.

Hoshino Gen calmly dropped his broken sword.

Then, he turned around and ran.

When passing by the gym, he didn't forget to grab Yu Shimizu's wrist and almost dragged her out of the end of the tree-lined road. Back on the regular road where he usually went to and from school, Hoshino Gen quickly walked towards that place. A piece of talisman was thrown out of the path, and a bright light flashed, and the path disappeared in an instant, as if everything he had just experienced was a dream.

Taking a long breath, Hoshino Gen turned his gaze to Yu Shimizu, who was holding his knees and panting next to him.

The evening wind rustled the surrounding leaves, which seemed a bit quiet. Only the girl's slightly rapid breathing was interspersed, adding a touch of youthful charm to this evening scene.

After a long while, Yu Shimizu finally regained his strength and stood up straight, looking at Gen Hoshino with complicated eyes.

I saw Gen Hoshino smiling softly and staring at her.

Looking at the scarlet light in the boy's left eye that was slowly extinguished until now, Qing Shuiyu's pink lips moved, and she struggled to speak out: "Who on earth...are you?"
