The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

One morning, in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, an ordinary house.

"...Oh, it really disappeared."

The young man with brown hair looked at the empty parking space of the motorcycle and missed the time of driving in his heart. He tried hard to suppress the urge to find Serizawa Chiemi now, carefully avoiding possible sight around him, and gently returned to the own home.

Going back to your own home is like being a thief...

Anyway, there aren't many things, so it's good to tidy up a little bit and take away the important things before someone comes to search.

"By the way, you have to bring your laptop too."

Seeing the dusty computer next to him, Fang Shi Yangming thought about it, and turned it on.

"Mr. Yansheng, I remember you made friends with netizens?" He asked the samurai beside him, "Why don't you say a few words now? I don't know when the next time you can get online."

Ji Guoyansheng pondered for a moment and accepted his proposal.

... No matter how many times I see it, I feel amazing.

Looking at the man dressed as a samurai who has gradually become proficient in using computers, Fang Shi Yangming couldn't help thinking in his heart.The samurai and the computer are two completely different elements, and the connection is inexplicably a bit of a cyberpunk feeling.

Of course, Ji Guoyansheng didn't know that he was thinking about everything. After logging into his account, he saw a few messages as expected, and after thinking for a while, he replied one by one.

Originally, I wanted to stop after a few words, but the netizen named rikayuta on the opposite side actually sent a message immediately, and the notification sound beeped in the quiet room, attracting the attention of Fangshi Yangming, who was sorting things.

He glanced at the clock on the wall pointing to two o'clock in the morning, and couldn't help but said, "It's still online at this time. Young people nowadays really like to stay up late."

"No..." Ji Guoyansheng pondered, "It is said that it is...jet lag."

"Ah? Where are you communicating with?"

"A place called...Africa."

"...Let's just ask, the other party is also Japanese, right?"

"Ah."

Fang Shi Yangming heaved a sigh of relief after getting an affirmative answer.

He was so scared to death that he almost thought that this warrior from the Warring States Period had already learned African languages.

……

At this time, the distant African continent is in the afternoon.

"Fortunately, Mr. Samurai is online at this time."

Yi Gu Youtai, who managed to get to the Internet with great difficulty, sat on a tree branch, watching the news from his mobile phone, surrounded by the sound of the wind blowing through the vast wilderness, mixed with the chirping of birds and insects.

According to the arrangement of high-level conjurers, he has been carrying out missions in various remote places overseas for a year. It is more like exile than to make special warlocks work harder. I am happy to improve my strength in my spare time.

This netizen named Hei Si Mou was added by him not long ago. Although the two of them are not the type to chat online often, every communication is very pleasant. They will exchange about katana maintenance and sword skills. B Bone always feels benefited a lot.

The other party seems to be very bad at the Internet and modern language, and often does not understand the meaning of some of the words he sends-even if those words are already long behind the Internet buzzwords.

Maybe it's a middle-aged and elderly person who just learned to use the Internet, the kind of master who runs a gym...

"Are you chatting?" Someone asked him under the tree.

"Well, I caught the signal on the tree, so I'll be a little lazy."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone suddenly displayed 'offline' again.

"Haha... It seems that you can't raise the flag indiscriminately."

Yi Gu Youtai gave a wry smile, and didn't try much, put the phone back in his pocket and jumped to the ground neatly.

"It's for you." The visitor handed him a pot of water that he had picked up, and then looked at the road ahead, "The nearest town can be reached in an hour's walk. If you go all out, it will only take you 10 minutes."

"Thank you, it was a great help." The young super warlock took the kettle and thanked him, "Speaking of which, your sword skills are much better than mine, and I will introduce that netizen to you when I have a chance. "

"...Network, I don't really understand either."

"Ah, sorry."

The friend he met in Africa is also Japanese, but it is said that he has been wandering around the world since he was about five years old, and he is now 20 years old, which means he has lived without a fixed place for 15 years.

"No need to apologize, this is the way of life I chose." The young man with a single ponytail said calmly, "I also want to see more of this world, if you have a chance in the future, please give me the method of using the Internet. "

"Okay." Yi Guyoutai nodded, "But it's important to hurry to the next town before it gets dark."

……

a few days later.

Saitama City in the early morning is a bit cooler than usual. October is approaching, and it gradually feels like autumn.

Sunlight fell on the bed in the bedroom through the cracks in the curtains, but the black-haired child in his sleep had his brows tightly closed, as if he was having a nightmare.

"righteous……"

"Yiyi! Wake up."

Amidst the shaking and shouting of his friends, he finally woke up, his dark blue eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, and then slowly looked at the frowning peer of the same age standing beside the bed.

"Do you have anything to say?" The person who woke him up put his hands on his hips and said sternly, "I'm already going to junior high school, how can I do such an unmanly thing like staying in bed!"

But Fuqiu Yiyi just rubbed his eyes.

"Sakura," he said suspiciously, "where's the scar on your face?"

"What scar?" Said Sato, and lightly tapped Yiyi's head, "Are you sleepy? Hurry up, I'll go outside and wait."

"what?"

"Today I will take you to familiarize yourself with the nearby streets, didn't you agree yesterday?"

Oh, it seems that there is such a thing.

After Satoshi left the room, Fuqiu Yoshiichi remembered the previous agreement.

A few months ago, because of their parents' work, their family moved to Saitama City, and they even changed schools with Yoshiichi.Although he is not familiar with the place here, his classmate Izumi Sakai and Hatsaki Mako get along very well with him. Yesterday, after learning that he knew nothing about this place, Sato offered to take him with him on his rest day. He walks around.

but……

Yiyi turned his head and saw 6:30 on the alarm clock.

Is it necessary to be so early?

……

Ever since that day in June, when he was sent home at an almost unbelievable speed by a suspicious person with silver hair and wearing a blindfold in the abandoned building, Fuqiu Yoshiichi found that he occasionally saw some strange things.

Those monster-like things often appear in cemeteries or hospitals, but they are rarely seen on weekdays, so I didn't specifically mention them to others.

But the strange things are not limited to these, after he met Sato and Mako in the new school, he also started to have nightmares.

The content of the dream is the same, in short, it starts with Sato splitting a big rock with a knife on the mountain, and ends with him disappearing in a mountain surrounded by wisteria flowers. No matter how hard I look for someone in the mountain, I can’t find him.

Moreover, Satu in the dream had a scar on his face starting from the corner of his mouth, and he looked a little older than he knew.

As soon as Fu Qiuyi recalled the scene in the dream, he greeted his parents who also just woke up, and went out with rice balls for breakfast.

Besides Satu, there was also a smiling girl with green eyes standing outside the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Fuqiu." She greeted.

"Student Mako, good morning." Yiyi didn't expect that she would come too, and looked at Sato next to him, "Why?"

Others might not know what he was asking, but Sato and Mako could always receive his radio waves very well, so they explained as they walked.

"Mako and I are both studying in the kendo hall of Master Lindaki in the next block. After taking you around here, you have to complete today's training, so let's start now, don't waste time."

"After shopping around, how about Yiyi going to the kendo gym together?" Mako suggested, "Master Rinaki also welcomes the children in the town to learn about it... By the way, I remember that you are from the football club, do you want to know?" Go see the gym?"

Yiyi thought for a while and replied, "The football club doesn't seem to welcome me very much."

"Eh?"

"Ah... that." Saito, who knew the inside story, showed a subtle expression, "Didn't the football club practice after school before, and I asked the newly transferred Yoshiichi to go over to watch the practice, because it's almost time for dinner. Everyone was very hungry, so the minister proposed to find someone to buy rice balls, and Yoshiichi took over the job."

【"In addition to those who bring their own bento, they also need to buy five rice balls. Any flavor is fine. If you want the money, we will give it to you when you come back." The football minister asked, "Thank you!"

"Yeah." Yi nodded.

"Ah yes, if you see a chocolate bun, buy one," another member added. 】

"Then what? Did something happen on the way?" Makoto looked worried, "Lost or something?"

"No... There was no accident. He checked the map in advance and came back on time."

Even though he said that, Satu had an expression as if he was having a hard time opening his mouth.

"But Yoshiichi, he only bought one rice ball."

"...?" Zhenmu was puzzled.

"It's normal not to understand." Said Usagi, "Normal people can't think like that."

After a while, Makoto, who came to his senses, showed an incredulous expression to Yoshiichi.

"Because they saw chocolate bread, they only bought one rice ball. This is their own request." Yiyi explained, "It was clearly stated in advance."

Satoshi just felt a headache and didn't know where to start to explain.

"Anyway, I'm going to junior high school in April next year, let's go to the nearest middle school first." Zhenmu smiled and changed the subject.

While talking, they had already walked a long distance, and they arrived at Saitama City Urumihito Junior High School in a short while.

From a distance, you can see the words "I wish the National Congress will appear" hanging on the teaching building.

"What kind of national convention?"

"It should be a game in the baseball club." Saito replied, "But I heard that the Kendo club here is also very good. It would be great if I can pass the exam."

"Sakura's grades are pretty good, isn't it?" Yoshiichi said seriously, "I think it's fine, as long as you can speak English well."

"English... ah."

"Don't give up, the three of you can pass the exam together?" Makoto, who had the best grade among the three, said with a smile, "Yiyi and I will find a way to help you with Tutu's English, and there must be time."

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Yiyi looked at the door with a gap.

"You should need a school entry permit. After all, it's not a place where people from other schools can come and go casually."

While they were talking, they suddenly saw a few people who looked like high school students, followed by a short blonde woman in a suit and walked in.

"..."

Sato was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the street on the other side: "Let's go for a walk over there."

While chatting, a few people walked a certain distance, and finally came to a footbridge.

"On the opposite side are unfinished buildings and some older neighborhoods." Sato introduced, "Although it's a bit out of the way, there will be egg roasts there, and there are very interesting shops."

"The one with the youkai series of gashapons?" Makoto opened his eyes slightly, "Let's go see it today too, I want to go."

"Haven't you already collected a set?"

"The rarest one hasn't been collected yet."

Listening to the chat of the two friends, Fuqiu Yiyi couldn't help but smile.

This is his reality. Things as terrifying as in the dream simply don't exist.

Whether it is today, tomorrow, or later, he and his friends will live an ordinary and happy life in this small town, worrying about exams, and being happy to turn out the gashapons they want.

……

It's twilight.

After visiting the kendo hall and saying goodbye to Sato and Mako, Fuqiu Yoshiichi set foot on the way home alone while the sky was still bright.

Today, for some reason, the swollen sunset was strangely red, falling on the distant river.

He stopped on the bridge.

Then--

"Mr. Fuqiu."

A voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere sounded in front of him.

Fuqiu Yiyi turned his head and found that it was the young man with dark hair that he saw in the abandoned building in June, who had appeared on the other side of the bridge at some time and was walking towards him.

He took a step back, but stopped quickly, the expression reflected in those dark eyes was a complex mixture of self-blame and helplessness.

"sorry."

The voice fell with a sigh, and it was a hand stretched out to his forehead.

Fu QiuYiYi's world fell into darkness.

The author has something to say:

Tomioka and Tomioka both read tomioka, and Yoshiichi is the name given by Ghost Slayer in the final words.

In the era of Ghost Slayer's final episode, you can see the reincarnation of Sato Mako and Yoshiichi together, so I think Yoshiichi should also be the reincarnation.

If you can't accept it, please treat it as private (bow).

The next chapter will explain why Fangshi Yangming suddenly appeared.
