I'm doing a live broadcast in Taisho

"Miss Liangzi?"

And the oil lamp in the room was dimly lit, and the shoji door behind him made a slight sound when it was opened.Such a small voice made the hand of the boy holding the pen at the desk stop, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was wearing a loose brown yukata, turned his head and saw the girl standing in front of the door.

She looked normal, except that the hair on her forehead was a little messy.

When handing over the Japanese sword to the girl in front of him, Akutagawa Ryunosuke asked rather puzzled, "But is it a custom in your hometown not to go out with a sword at night? It sounds a little strange."

Liangzi took the knife: "...It's not a custom, but I'm afraid of scaring people."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke showed a clear look, but the black color in his eyes did not cause any waves, and even his tone was very calm, "I thought you wanted to find the rumored monster alone. Suspicion is left."

Ryoko who was discovered the truth: ...

That's right, it would be strange not to be discovered.

When she and Akutagawa Ryunosuke first arrived in Baichuan Township, the system in her brain issued an alarm to detect the breath of ghosts. Because she was too hasty, Ryoko made up a nonsense reason and stuffed the Japanese knife into the face of the unknown so In the arms of the young man.

At that time, Ryunosuke Akutagawa opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he suddenly fell silent after seeing her borrow something to jump onto the roof.

[So, if Akutagawa boy saw what the host did just now, he would probably be startled by the host.But in this way, the host might become a cruel prototype in the works written by Akutagawa boy in the future, and it can be regarded as a famous history? ]

...is that how the word is used?

[...This system is trying its best to beautify the brutal behavior of the host just now. ]

Ryoko: ...

"Is Mr. Akutagawa writing a novel?" The girl who ignored the system raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of a stack of papers in front of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. She looked a little excited, and even raised her voice a little bit.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't seem to have expected Ryoko's reaction. He paused for a moment, then turned his side, and showed the things on the table in front of everyone, "It's just a short story to be published in the school newspaper. ..."

The candlelight reflected the boy's thin side face, his black hair was soft, and he looked at Yoshiko with a slightly puzzled look, "Are you interested? It's just a boring story."

However, Ryoko, who learned about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's future achievements from the system in advance, has already put a golden "literary hero" label on the top of the opponent's head: "How come, you are too strict with yourself. .”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke lowered his eyes, turned his head to look at his manuscript, "No, after all, there are predetermined issues. It's nothing more than the old-fashioned life and death. It's just that I haven't found a suitable story to explain it."

Ryoko couldn't intervene in this aspect, but she could see obvious dissatisfaction on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face.

"Sure enough, do monsters really exist?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's sudden question made Ryoko pause when he left the room, probably because he caught a little panic in Ryoko's eyes, the black-haired boy's expression was very innocent: "After I mentioned the monster to you in the teahouse, you Your behavior is very strange, and...the hem of your clothes is torn."

Unexpectedly, the young man who did not say a word along the way, who observed so carefully, was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to explain it, so she simply told the truth: "In Baichuan Township, there are creatures called ghosts, not Akutagawa. The monster that Mr. said."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke paused, he frowned, and seemed to think about the difference between the two for a while: "So, did you just kill the creature called Oni?"

Liangzi didn't know if he could talk about the Hilun knives, so he replied vaguely: "I don't have any, but my companions should have eradicated them."

After a brief silence, the boy let out a sigh: "...I really want to see you."

"No, Mr. Akutagawa, it's better not to see him." The girl holding the sword deliberately put on a serious expression, her shadow was elongated by the candlelight, "Ogre is a creature that eats humans, if you see it, It will be eaten."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression was blank for a moment, he frowned, his eyes stayed on Ryoko's face for a long time, and then he moved his lips and said, "You look very sad."

Ryoko didn't expect Akutagawa Ryunosuke to say such a thing. After being stunned for a moment, she shook her head: "No, there is no such thing."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke obviously showed disbelief, so Ryoko sighed a little, and added: "I just suddenly felt that if there were man-eating monsters in the crowd, but the people around him would not If you don’t know, it’s really pitiful.”

"Pitiful?"

"Yes." She replied with some hesitation, "However, whether you know it or not, if there is such a monster, you really can't escape."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "Do you mean that you still don't know?"

"Because it is better to die directly at a certain moment than to live in anxiety every day."

"But...that's not right."

When Liangzi said this, her tone showed a bit of stubbornness. She seemed to be particularly persistent in right and wrong.

Her chin was slightly retracted, her eyes didn't know where to fall, and even the expression in her eyes was covered by the drooping eyelashes.Akutagawa Ryunosuke heard her repeat it in a low voice.

"That's not right."

——If only she would have known earlier at that time.

——Earlier, earlier, kill my brother before he grows up.

——In that case...not so many people would die.

"There is nothing absolute in this world." Ryunosuke Akutagawa's voice was clear but firm. I don't know if it was an illusion. Ryoko seemed to see the calm despair that shouldn't be there at this age in the eyes of a young man at that moment, " Whether it is evil or fighting against evil, they all belong to the necessity of life. ①”

Ryoko was surprised by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression when he said this, and it took a while before he smiled, "Mr. Akutagawa said that too."

"However, when you spoke just now, it seemed that you were missing someone." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's tone was sincere, and his black eyes were full of confusion.

Ryoko's hand holding the Japanese sword almost loosened, she blinked her eyes, and fooled it with a joking tone, "The person I miss has died, so there is nothing to miss."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke paused, and he looked at the girl in front of him with more guilt, "Sorry."

Yoshiko shook her head to express that she didn't care, then raised her hand and opened the shoji door, "It's getting late, Mr. Akutagawa, please rest first."

The moment the door was completely closed, Ryoko let out a small sigh of relief.She and Ryunosuke Akutagawa did not know each other very well, but she couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Akutagawa Ryunosuke was with those eyes just now.

She remembered that on the way to Baichuan Township, there was a pair of quarreling mother and daughter in the fields passing by. The woman who was called mother by the little girl in sackcloth clothes showed a bit of dullness and madness between her brows, listening to the roadside. People said that the mother seemed to have gone crazy when the girl was two years old, and she still shows no signs of getting better.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood motionless by the side of the road and looked at the woman, his eyes were very, very indifferent, and seemed very, very sad. ②

But when Ryoko was thinking about this, the sound of the system sounded in her ears.

[You don’t need to see if the two ghosts you stunned by the host were killed by the character Tomioka Yoshiyuki? ]

[You can also take this opportunity to exchange more feelings with your host brother. ]

Ryoko: ...

Regarding the fact that she knocked out the ghost and met Tomioka Yoshiyuki, we have to start a few minutes ago.

There is no currency used by humans on the sick leaf. Ten minutes ago, in the dilapidated house, under the light of the moon, the third of the twelve ghost moons touched the body for a long time before discovering this sad fact.

For the time being, Bing Ye, who can be regarded as the best among ghosts, has never been so embarrassed before. He choked up a bit, and tentatively asked cautiously: "Or, maybe... credit?... No, no, don't be angry, wait , I have something equivalent."

Sick Ye took out a bead from his sleeve, secretly pushed it to the girl squatting in front of him.

After hearing the system's [task completed] notification sound, Ryoko let out a small sigh of relief.

The aftereffects of using the skills have not yet passed, and she can't move at all now.However, during the few years when she was leveling up in Xiawushan, as her level increased, the stiff state did not hinder her speech.

Just drag it through for a few minutes.

"Although I'm not angry..."

The girl's voice was very pleasant, her eyebrows were beautiful and gentle, but what she said made Sick Ye jump.

"I heard that ghosts will die when they touch the sun."

The sick leaf suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I heard from Ms. Butterfly that eating wisteria flowers has the same effect." Liangzi frowned thoughtfully, "But swallowing them raw seems a bit cruel."

Sick Leaf: Do you want me to sunbathe?Do you just want me to sunbathe?Be sober, obviously all of them are cruel! ! !

Bing Ye couldn't remember how many years he had lived, but this was indeed the first time he showed a look of fear in front of humans.He subconsciously wanted to activate the vampire technique to escape, and then remembered that the younger sister of Mr. Tong Mo in front of him seemed to be running faster than himself.

In desperation, Xia Xiansan began to approach: "Human... No, you, as long as you let me go, I can fulfill one of your wishes."

He also fooled those ghosts who wanted to get the blood of Mr. Wu Mi before, but he needed them to do things for him. As for the wish?Of course he won't do it for them.

He stomped on their heads and grew stronger by devouring their corpses.

"So can you help me send my brother to hell?"

Sick Leaf: "When..."

No, this human brother seems to be Master Tong Mo.

Sick Ye's eyeballs moved, and he imagined for a while the scene of himself and the smiling second-hander who seemed untouched by the world.

Sick leaf: ...or let's just die.

Biaoye gave up on herself for a second in her heart, and was about to fool the human girl in front of her, but Yoshiko, who had not moved all this time, slowly stood up.

Sick Ye watched helplessly as she lifted the fainted ghost out of the sunken floor, then took out a rope from her sleeve, and carefully... hung him by the window.

Sick leaf: No, why would there be a normal human girl carrying a rope with her? ? ?

[ha!This system has everything you need, commonly known as Doraemon's pocket... Wait, the name "Doraemon" is also good, much better than the name of the "Great Sage" in No. 1086.Decided!This system officially changed its name to Doraemon...Forget it, this system cannot afford the copyright fee. ]

Liangzi paused when she heard the familiar four words "Doraemon". She remembered Mr. Cotton Candy told her about this poor cat whose ear was bitten off by a mouse.

Yoshiko, who was about to hang up the diseased leaves and throw them out of the window to wait for the sun to rise, paused.

——What is your relationship with Marshmallow-kun?

[......]

——Is the designer you keep talking about Marshmallow-kun?

The always noisy system fell into an eerie silence. In contrast, an unprecedented lively scene appeared in the live broadcast room.

[Nakajima Atsushi]: Why did Mr. Dazai wipe the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

[Dazai Osamu]: You don't understand this, Atsushi-kun.These are the tears shed from the joy of seeing my daughter learn to walk.

[Kunikida Doppo]: Squeeze some tears before saying this, Dazai.

[Osamu Dazai]: It's really boring, Kunikida.If you are too serious, you will be dismissed as a boring old man.

[Yosano Akiko]: Speaking of which, the last time I fought with Kunikida, I was injured, Dazai?

[Dazai Osamu]: ...I'm not, I don't, it's slander, it must be a rumor spread by people who are jealous of me looking too healthy.

[Nakahara Chuya]: Are you qualified to say such things?

[Osamu Dazai]: As a mafia, Nakaya must have been injured often. Seeing that the port mafia helped us in the past two years, I can ask Yosano-san to treat you.

[Nakahara Chuya]: ... Do you think I will be fooled?

In the live broadcast room, Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara were quarreling with each other. After realizing that the human girl in front of him seemed to be in a daze, the diseased leaf blinked and was about to run away.

However, before he could activate the vampire technique, he was hit in the head by a wooden board picked up by the girl from the ground.

Although this level of pain was not enough for him to faint, but Sick Ye quickly weighed it in his mind and decided to pretend to faint.

After all, if he is awake, he still doesn't know how this black-hearted girl like Master Tong Mo will torture him. If he pretends to faint, after she leaves, it will not be difficult for him to break free from the rope with his strength.

The heart is not as good as the action.Sick Ye closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell to the ground with a bang, ready to play dead.

Ryoko looked at the unbroken board in his hand, and then at Xia Xiansan on the ground with his eyes closed:?

Why is the ghost now weaker than her.

When Mr. Ryotaki was fighting her, he knocked her head up so that she didn't faint.

However, when the sick leaf fluttering in the wind opened his eyes, he found that this was not an ordinary rope, and the cruel reality that the more he struggled, the tighter he tied it—these are all things to come.

The girl who left the "violence scene" did not give up questioning the system on the way back to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

--Why do not you speak?

[...This system is simply a little glitchy, ha, ha. ]

Your voice sounds a little frightened.

Ryoko frowned suspiciously.

why are you afraidMarshmallow doesn't want me to know this?

[...Not really, no matter which system it is, the designer did not set up a confidentiality program. ]

The tone of the system was somewhat self-defeating.Speaking of which, it has not talked to the designer for a long time, no, it should be said that it has not talked to his immediate superior since its birth, only Mr. Zheng occasionally chats with it when detecting loopholes.

No. 7386 is actually a social butterfly, and it has a good relationship with every system except No. 1086.

It has also heard examples of telling the host about the identity of the designer from other systems, but its host is somewhat special...

Its database shows that its host seems to have known the designer before participating in the game.No. 7386, who can't figure out the personality of its own designer at all, wonders whether it should be kept secret.

——So, was it also Mr. Cotton Candy who did my resurrection from the dead?

The girl's voice was steady, and she could vaguely hear a bit of anger, but it was more of doubt.

Mr. Cotton Candy was one of the few friends she had when she was a child, and the only one she could talk to about everything.Although she didn't know what the other party looked like, Ryoko always thought that the other party was just an ordinary person like her.

It is possible to "resurrect from the dead", even in this century-old world with breathing techniques and ghosts, she still feels incredible.

God?No, how can something like a god exist...

"It exists."

The moonlight shining on the deserted streets is soft and thin, like boiling water mist.The whistling wind left a long tail, and together with the man's deliberately elongated sweet voice, it fell into the ears of the wide-eyed girl.

In such a dark night, a burst of white light suddenly lit up, and an illusory shadow appeared in front of her eyes, which became clearer and brighter with the flickering lights on both sides.

The man with violet-like eyes appeared in front of her out of thin air. There was a purple tattoo under the corner of his eye. When his eyelashes drooped, a small shadow fell on the tip of his nose.

Brandeso was wearing the clothes of the white magic spell as usual. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, and colorful streamers radiated from the white wings spread behind him.

"Do you miss me, Ryoko..."

Before the last word "Jiang" was uttered, the illusory figure reflected in the girl's eyes was split open. In the bright moonlight, Tomioka Yoshiyuki's eyes were indifferent. With a turn of the sun wheel blade in his hand, the phantom figure dissipated. In the meantime, the young man's nimble retraction of the knife even caused a small gust of wind.

Yoshiko heard Yoshiyuki Tomioka lecture in a staid and serious voice——

"Don't be dazed, Fujiwara."

The author has something to say: Thank you [Original Goose Rice] [Dou Dou Long] for the nutrient solution!

*I think I have made progress. When I used to write articles, a chapter was at least [-] words, and I could hold back [-] words for a long time. Now I can write [-] words (crying bitterly)

Bai Lan: I'm the best at playing tricks...? ? ?who!Who cut me with a knife! ! !

Tomioka Yoshiyuki: On April 4, Fujiwara was in a daze at the ghost again. How can he pass the final selection like this (worry, worry)

①A letter from Akutagawa Ryunosuke to Heng Teng Kyo.

②The three-dimensional Mr. Akutagawa's mother went crazy nine months after he was born, and he was adopted as an adopted son and stayed with his crazy mother for 10 years.Akutagawa believes that his "first act of tragedy in life begins with becoming a mother and child".In "Ghost Book", he said that "I have never felt the kind of mother-like love from my mother." This is probably the shadow of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's life.
