I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

Three-headed body, single tuft of bangs, black hair ball head.

——This is what the woman who suddenly appeared here was holding in her hand.

It is exactly the appearance of the summer oil mantra that I am very familiar with.

It's just that the clothes on this curse skeleton were black tops and bloomers similar to the school uniform of the magic college, but now they are replaced by a miniature version of the cassock that I threw away before.

I also didn't expect to see Summer Oil from my house so soon.

"That's...Mr. Xia You?" Ning Ning also saw Xia You who was being held by that woman at a glance, and after making a surprised sound, she suddenly covered her mouth and carefully looked at the other side The two of them added summer oil and looked at me again.

[Isn't this sake, long time no see. ]

Xia You fell to the ground, and greeted briskly with the short hand that raised the mantle as if before leaving. The smiling look seemed quite normal, but it was a bit out of harmony.

I sized him up and said, "It's not been a month yet."

[Is that so?I always feel like it's been a long time. ]

...I know what's wrong.

Before Xia You recovers, he will call Ning Ning's name like me, and he will call Liang Zi by Liang Zi's name directly when facing Liang Zi.

But when he called me by my name, he didn't know why he kept calling me Ibuki with restraint, and it's been like this since the day we met.

As a result, the summer oil called out the name [sake] as soon as it came up.

This gave me a strange feeling, a very strange feeling.

"You are here because of the one at the bottom of the lake?" This reunion scene is really not very beautiful, I have no intention of reminiscing about the past, so I just cut to the chase.

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere on both sides became tense.

Ryoko stood in front of me in a flash, staring at Xia You vigilantly and sharply.

But Xia You didn't care about Liangzi's hostility, still smiling, shaking the cassock, which was too big and didn't fit well for his cursing body, and said:

[Yes, I want to get the mermaid corpse. ]

...

really.

"These two are curse masters who are active in the Kanto area." Yuan Hui seemed to have recognized something, untied the kendo bag he was carrying, pulled it open, and took out his weapon from inside.

"Two against four! This is not easy to do, Mr. Xia You." Among the three people opposite, the man with only two pink love stickers on his upper body took a step forward, and said so, but his expression Obviously already excited.

[Lalu, be careful, you are not the opponent of that Genji boy. ]

Yuanhui tilted his head and said "Oh?"

This development made my heart sink slightly.

Judging from the current situation, the person named Lalu who came with Xia You should not be Yuanhui's opponent, but I don't know what that woman's ability is. When that person is about to be hit, he can always let him Dangerously avoided.

"Liangzi." My mind turned and I had already made a decision, "Go and stop her, Xiaozhihua is by my side."

Ryoko nodded slightly.

And in this situation, Xia You, who was standing there alone with his cassock sleeves in his arms, still looked calm.

"Let me ask, what do you want the mermaid corpse for?"

I looked at Xiayou and asked.

[If I said so, would you give it to me, sake. ]

"maybe."

Xia You spread her hands, [You have also seen my current appearance. I can't get my body back for the time being, so I can only find other ways to get a body first. Mermaid meat is a material I need. ]

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with that.

"I can't give it to him!" Yuan Hui turned his head, his expression unprecedentedly serious, "Mermaid flesh can't create a body out of thin air. He said that there is only one way to get a body, and that is to take someone else's."

Xia You didn't have the slightest surprise of being exposed, nor did she refute it.

Just as I was about to say something, out of the corner of my eye I saw circles of ripples appearing on the calm lake.

This movement, is it because Jiao found the mermaid corpse?

"careful!"

This is Hanako's voice.

The first time Huazi uttered her voice, she hugged Ningning and left the water. My eyes fell on a red shadow raised up on the water.

Blood?

No, that didn't look like blood spreading, but rather something like clothes.

clothing...

With a sound of "swish", the calm of the water surface was broken, and a wet man wearing a red cloak emerged from the water. The cloak was empty, and the hood was so dark that no face could be seen.

"clatter..."

"Da... da da!" There was a strange da da sound similar to the movement of bones in the red cloak, and then he spoke intermittently, "You... want, red paper or... blue paper... .”

I felt that the direction under the hood of the red cloak was facing me.

——It’s a curse spirit.

One of the urban legends, the Red Cloaked Monster.

The popularity is not as wide as urban legends such as Hanako in the toilet and the girl with a gap, but after spreading to other countries, many versions have been derived.

It is said that if you choose red, you will be radiated to death due to excessive blood loss, and if you choose blue, you will be strangled and suffocated to death.In short, like the Gap Girl, they seem to have options, but in fact they choose to die.

"Little Zhihua." I called softly, and the little paper figurine turned into countless flying pieces of paper.

[Just let it play with you for a while.Don't get in my way, monkey. ]

Xia You said such a sentence.

My movements paused slightly, and I narrowed my eyes slightly to look at the mantra standing there wearing cassock.

After Xiayou regained my memory, it was the first time that I clearly recognized that something had changed.

Although the man was smiling, but the smile fell on the man's face, but it was extremely indifferent.At this moment, I can clearly feel how different the amnesiac summer oil I was with is different from the current memory-recovering summer oil.

It is so clear that the difference between them can be seen at a glance.

If Xia You, who had amnesia at that time, was a calm and gentle boy who was occasionally a bit of an old lady, then Xia You may be a completely different person now.

— as if the summer oil I knew never existed.

Unexpectedly, I remembered what Xia You said to me when I was confused before recovering my memory.

'If I say that after recovering my memory, I will become a person who makes you and me feel very strange. Do you think it is better to recover the memory or not to recover the memory. '

He was really right, he had indeed become a very strange person after recovering his memory.

Looking at it now, it's better not to restore the memory, at least the Xia You I know won't say such a title that makes people's anger go up all of a sudden.

"I think you are more suitable for the monkey mantra, Xia Youjie." As my anger increased, I laughed instead.

...

"Is this guy also a strange story in the toilet? By the way, the toilet is my territory!" After protecting Ning Ning, Hanako suddenly changed her clothes when I didn't notice, from the usual boy's uniform to a uniform with a cape , and then took out a kitchen knife from his pocket.

"But... Hanako-kun, you belong to the women's room. It seems that the men's room is not under your control?" Ning Ning pressed in a low voice.

"That's not important that's not important."

"You...want, red paper or...blue paper..." The red cloaked monster was still repeating its words word by word, getting closer to me.

"Choose a fart, I'm red-blue blind."

In such a chaotic situation, a reef with black hair and curved horns on its head floated silently on the calm lake after the monster in the red cloak left the water.

But this is not the most important thing. Between the arms of the reef, there is a mermaid with curly black hair and a mermaid tail.

That was not the corpse of a mermaid.

It was a living little girl mermaid who looked only six or seven years old, with lake green eyes looking over the reef's shoulders.
