After the favorability rating was 99, I gave up the tour

After a long time, under the control of firefighters, the raging fire was finally extinguished.

Afterwards, because of the explosion, people from the Metropolitan Police Department also came and cordoned off the surrounding area.

The once small but warm and quiet rented house turned into ruins, and countless people surrounded the cordon, pointing at the house.

Toru Amuro looked sideways, and found that the expression at this moment was too calm, as if it was another person who struggled to break free from his hand and almost rushed into the sea of ​​flames.

This kind of unreasonable calm made Anshi Toushin even higher, afraid that this serious child would get into some wonderful corner.

and……

This kind of sunset and moon is becoming more and more similar to that person back then.

Toru Amuro looked at the familiar face of Higurashi Yuzuki, with mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't tell what mood he was in.

He was silent for a while, bought a bottle of water at a nearby convenience store, and handed it to Rimu Jieyue.

"Are you okay?" Toru Amuro asked with concern.

The eyes of the sun and the moon floated on the bottle of water for a long time, and then slowly raised his head to look at Toru Amuro. Those steel-gray eyes were like embers flying out of the ruins of the flames, which made Toru Amuro feel nervous. The child suddenly lost his mind.But Toru Amuro didn't expect that the next moment, Higurashi Yuyue took the water, held it in his hand, and showed him a faint smile: "Thank you very much, I'm fine."

The sun sets and the moon seldom smiles.She always looks too calm and serious, as if erecting an invisible wall between herself and the world.When Yuyue Higurashi was working part-time at the Polo Coffee Shop, Toru Amuro once ran into Yuyue Higurashi's classmates, and knew that those classmates called her "Ice Mountain Goddess" and "arrogant and out-of-group weirdo" behind her back.Toru Amuro doesn't think Keiyue Higure is arrogant, but it's true that he doesn't fit in with others, because Yuiyue Higure's daily life not only refuses all activities, does not have any social interactions, and even smiles are hardly seen.

Is a character that is almost the opposite of her mother.

But now, this child who rarely showed a smiling face laughed because of his bottle of water... I have to say that Toru Amuro felt a little flattered.

But the smile quickly disappeared.

Higurashi Yuzuki looked at the ruins and said, "I'm sorry I was a little distracted just now, may I ask if there are any casualties in this explosion?" Seeing Amuro Toru's eyes fell on her arm with countless small scratches, Higurashi Yuzuki shook his head, "I don't care of."

Toru Amuro said, "There is no one else."

The moment the explosion happened was in the afternoon, and most of the nearby residents were office workers, so there were no pedestrians on the road, so in the end, except for the sun and the moon that broke his arm and rushed to the door, his arm was cut by the sundries carried by the blast. Besides, even he was unharmed.

Higurashi Jieyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's really great."

"But your house..."

Rimu Jieyue hurriedly said: "I will compensate the landlord! Although I don't have much money now, I will—"

"I'm not asking this, and I don't need you to pay compensation!" Amuro sighed and looked at her helplessly, "Xiao Jieyue, you are the biggest victim in this matter. If it wasn't for me Passing by by chance, you almost died in this explosion... But now, you have thought about so many things and so many people, why haven't you thought about yourself? Have you ever thought about who sent the bomb? You Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? Have you ever thought that if the incident is not resolved in time, you may receive a second or third bomb? What will you do then?"

Sunset and Moon froze in place.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering her steel gray pupils.She gently raised her hand, and pulled the messy hair on her cheeks behind her ears: "It's okay... If it's me... It's okay..."

Toru Amuro frowned more and more, feeling an indescribable strangeness in the setting sun and moon in front of him.

"Excuse me." At this time, a police officer came over, holding a notebook and a pen, "Excuse me, are you Miss Higurashi? Please come and make a note with us."

"Ah, good!"

Higurashi Yuzuki apologized to Amuro Toru, and then walked aside to take notes.

Toru Amuro stood where he was, still brooding over the weirdness he felt just now.

……

The transcript ended soon. After all, Higurashi Jieyue did nothing but buy a game peripheral. No one understood why a good game peripheral suddenly turned into a bomb. When the police asked Higurashi Jieyue if he had offended When someone was there, Sunset and Moon also shook his head.

So in less than 10 minutes, the sun sets and the moon can leave.

But before leaving, Higurashi Jieyue mentioned another thing.

"I have an important thing in the house, can I look for it? In case..."

The police are very sympathetic to the sun and the moon: "Although the scope of the explosion is not large, the fire has destroyed your house... You can go in and look for it, but it's best not to have too much expectation."

Higurashi Jieyue nodded calmly: "I know."

So, under the leadership of the police, Higurashi Yuzuki came to the place where the utility room used to be, and searched for the Tsurumaru Kuninaga, which Zhenzhen imitated, among a pile of ruins that made outsiders feel distressed.

And soon, she found two scorched iron pieces from the ruins.

Rimu Jieyue looked at the two fragments, and for the first time a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The police officer who called himself Takagi looked at the two fragments and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"It should be something like a sword." At this time, a little guy wearing glasses came out of nowhere and analyzed with a mature face, "Although its blade is gone, and it has been burned very badly, However, it can still be seen from the jaw and shape that it should have been a sword, probably stored at home as a handicraft. But the strange thing is that it can be seen from its fracture that it was not destroyed by the blast. It was broken by a shock, but by some sharp weapon... Sister Himu, is there any story here?!" As he spoke, the weird child turned his head to look at Higurashi Jieyue.

Higurashi Jieyue took a look at this child, and felt that this child was a bit out of harmony, with a sense of deliberate cuteness of an adult pretending to be a child, which was very strange.

But she didn't care too much, calmly looked away, and shook her head.

"I don't know, it was originally my mother's collection," she said.

The sun and the moon are telling the truth.

Although she never lies, she is not a rigid person who does not know how to adapt.When she saw the severed sword, she instinctively told her that this matter was extraordinary, and it would be better not to let too many people know about it, so she only responded with such words.

In fact, no one doubted her.

The strange child's attention quickly left the broken sword, but went to the center of the explosion to keep observing.

Higurashi Yuyue declined Officer Takagi's offer to see him off. After packing the sword that had been broken in two in a box, he came near the cordon and bid farewell to Toru Amuro.

"Sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Amuro. Since I can no longer live in this place, I have to go home... Please tell the store manager for me, just say that I may not be able to go to work part-time during this time, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused everyone."

"You're too polite, Xiaojieyue." Toru Amuro couldn't help sighing again, "Are you going back to the shrine? Do you have enough money? Do you want me to send you?"

Higurashi Yuzuki's home is not in Mihua Town, but in Higurashi Shrine in Shizuoka Prefecture, which is quite a distance from here.It was almost evening now, and Toru Amuro was not at ease letting Higurashi Yuzuki go home alone.

Higurashi Jieyue shook his head: "Thank you Mr. Amuro for your kindness, but I'm fine. Goodbye, and thank you again for your help."

Toru Amuro sees Higurashi Yuzuki's firm attitude, and the relationship between him and Higurashi Yuzuki is only a senior and a junior when they are working at this time, so it is not easy to insist at this time, so he can only helplessly watch Higurashi Yuzuki go home alone.

When Higurashi Jieyue was drifting away at the end of the street, Police Officer Takagi came here at some point, looked at her back, and said with emotion: "Miss Higurashi is such a poor child...all the relatives are dead or missing Missing, the guardian is under the name of a distant relative, but I am studying in Mihua Town alone, but now even this rented house is..."

Toru Amuro breathed stagnantly, and suddenly turned to look at him: "What did you say?!"

Seeing that Police Officer Takagi was taken aback, Toru Amuro came back to his senses and managed to adjust his expression: "Sorry, I was just a little shocked, because Xiaojieyue never talked about her family, I just thought..."

"Yes, because this is not a very good memory, so Ms. Higurashi doesn't want to mention it." Officer Takagi also dealt with Amuro Toru, a nominal detective, so he didn't have any precautions. He said sympathetically, "In Higurashi When Ms. was 12 years old, her mother disappeared in front of her. It was a big blow to her, and she was admitted directly to the hospital. Unfortunately, her immediate family members came to Mihuacho from Higurashi Shrine to visit When she was in a serious accident on the road, she died directly in the car accident... Now, the Higurashi Shrine that Ms. Higurashi wants to return to, she is the only one left..."

Toru Amuro felt as if a mass of ice had been stuffed into his heart, and the biting chill made him feel cold on a summer evening.

"Then... what about her father..."

"I don't know, Miss Higurashi doesn't seem to have a father."

Amuro sank completely, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

……

When Higurashi Yuzuki returned to Higurashi Shrine, it was completely dark.

She was walking along the long forest path, surrounded by dead silence, but there was no fear in her heart.Because people who go home will not feel afraid, even if there are no family members waiting for her at home.

She walked through the small square, passed the lush sacred trees, and finally came to the shrine, and gently pushed the door.

"I am back."

No one in the room responded.

Sunset and the moon took it for granted, and put the box containing the broken sword aside, and after offering incense to the grandfather, grandparents, and uncle Caotai, he put on an apron, picked up the broom, and began to clean the slightly dusty shrine.Since she was already familiar with such things, she cleaned very quickly. In just one hour, the inside of the huge shrine was cleaned up. Then, she began to clean the square of the shrine.

When she swept to the shrine, she looked at the closed door, stayed for a while, put the broom aside, pushed the door open, came to the bone eating well, and looked down.

The bottom is pitch black, and it looks like an abyss under the dim light, which makes people unable to bear the fear.

However, Yuyue Higurashi knew that the end of the well was not an abyss, but connected to the Warring States Period, which was the era when her aunt Kagome Higurashi lived.When she was still young, her mother once took her to play in that era full of monsters and ghosts. There, she not only met her beautiful aunt and uncle dog, but also met some very beautiful big monsters. have their blessings.From then on, the messy little monsters in modern times who coveted her spiritual power no longer dared to appear in front of her, and even some sensitive animals, especially dogs, became very afraid of her.

But after turning 12, everything changed.

The disappearance of her mother, the death of her family, the closure of the Well of Bone Eaters, the disappearance of her spiritual power...everything about her left her one by one, and finally she was left alone.

Sometimes she even doubts, did the life before the age of 12 really exist?Had she really been that happy?

Rimu Jieyue stood beside the bone eating well, staring at the darkness below, dazed.

But soon, she came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, left the shrine, and continued her cleaning.

After two hours of cleaning, when the time came to ten o'clock in the evening, she finally finished cleaning the shrine.

Then, she cooked a random bowl of noodles, and after dealing with her stomach, she took the broken sword out of the box and gently placed it on the table.

"Then...try to fix it first..."

Higurashi Jieyue observed the badly burned broken sword for a while, then bit his own finger and dripped blood on the broken sword.

"Minutenvorschweisen—"

The magic circuit in the body is instantly awakened.Then, under the guidance of the blood of the sun and the moon, the broken sword was automatically put together under the effect of magic, and it didn't take long before it looked brand new, as if it had never been broken, let alone burned.

Higurashi Jieyue breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the restored long knife.

It worked!

Although she is a half-toned magician with few magic circuits in her body, no talent in magic, and only knows basic repair and strengthening, she can barely do things like repairing a broken sword.

But in fact, if it wasn't for the sudden break of the vibrating knife, Rimu Jieyue would never use these magic tricks taught by her mother again, just like she would never swing a sword again.

But she...she still didn't want to let the only thing her mother left her be destroyed!

Higurashi Jieyue was thinking ecstatically, his fingers brushed the blade unconsciously, and the unhealed wound on his index finger drew long bloodstains on the spine of the blade.

This glaring bloodstain brought Higurashi Jieyue back to his senses, and he was startled, he turned around and wanted to wipe the sword clean with a cloth.

But at this moment, the long knife on the table suddenly burst into endless golden light, and then, a cute origami little fox jumped out of the light, grew against the wind, and turned into a real fox when it landed.

Sunset and Moon: "..."

The little fox looked at Rimu Jieyue with emotion: "Great! I finally—cough—" The little fox coughed lightly, then flicked his tail, looking eagerly at Rimu Jieyue, "Hi, my lord, look at your appearance It seems to be troubled by some troubles? There is nothing in the world that hard work and money can’t solve, so why don’t you consider accepting employment from our current government? Our salary is super high and we can play the game of liver knife!”

Sunset and Moon: "..."

Sunset and Moon were dumbfounded.

——This... this... what kind of development is this Aladdin's magic lamp! !
