The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

Posts about "Strange Creatures Appeared at Night in Kanagawa Prefecture" are still hot these days, and the discussions about beast-shaped monsters standing on two feet are getting more and more outrageous, from humans wearing plush toy suits to being made out of secret experiments There are scientific monsters, and after someone called the thing a 'man-wolf' one time, everyone started calling it that.

Some people say that there is no evidence of human wolves harming human beings, maybe it is the embodiment of justice, and it specializes in killing those evil creatures at night.

Some people also said that human wolves are definitely not a good thing. They may have killed many people, but they were all concealed as accidents.

All kinds of inconspicuous conspiracy theories are everywhere, some excessive ones will be deleted by the moderators, but most of them are kept.Fang Shi Yangming flicked down with his mobile phone in a lack of interest. He himself joined in the fun and posted a random post on the forum not long ago, but because the content was not scary enough, he was submerged in the cool summer ocean within 5 minutes of posting. inside.

…Although I don’t make money by writing blogs, it always feels a little bit of a blow when nothing happens.

The young man sighed, put down his phone, and sat up from the sofa he was lying on.

"Yansheng-kun, I'm going out to buy something, do you want to go together?"

"No..." The samurai sitting in front of the computer and browsing the web with his back straightened didn't look back.

Since he was taught by Junpei and Fangshi to use computers a few days ago, he has become very interested in modern things. The energy that can touch reality every day seems to be used to hold the mouse and type the keyboard, and I don’t know if it is an illusion. Fang Shi Yangming always felt that the time he had been in contact with the present world was getting longer and longer.

"Also, title."

"I'm sorry Mr. Yansheng, that, I bit my tongue just now." The young man said awkwardly, making an excuse casually.

I thought that people who are surfing the Internet would not care about these things, but it seems that they are not addicted enough, so I must teach him how to play games next time.

Speaking of which subjects would samurai like?fight?Might have to buy a handle then.

Thinking wildly in his mind, Fang Shi Yangming put on his coat and went out.

Yoshino Junpei told him one thing - about meeting a "monster with a snake" in a snack shop opened by a senior in the school.

The anecdotes told by people around him are always more interesting than those from the Internet, so he planned to go there today to have a look while it was still the weekend.Originally, he wanted to go with Shunping, but the child said that he had something to do today, so he had to let Fangshi Yangming go alone.

That store is said to still be selling chestnut pudding, so don't miss it.

……

It's raining.

Yidizhi Jiegao pushed down his glasses, and looked at the three first-year college students standing at the entrance of the youth academy.

"Our 'window' observed the curse embryo about three hours ago. After the evacuation work was completed, the facility was sealed off."

"What is a window?" Knotabagi Yujin asked.

"A highly specialized person who can observe curses."

That is, the eyeliner, or the meaning of the source of information.

"Then, didn't you see this thing in 'window'?" Nagasaki Wild Rose took out her mobile phone and pointed to a picture on it, "It's been a long time since I went to the street and I could hear people talking about it."

Yizhi glanced at it, and saw that it was a "human wolf" who was said to appear at night in Kanagawa Prefecture, which had been hotly discussed on the forum recently.

He was silent for a while, and replied: "This thing is not within the scope of the high commissioner's mission."

"In other words, this is not a forged photo." Fu Heihui was keenly aware of what he meant, "Is it really okay to leave it alone?"

"The only thing I can tell you is 'someone will solve it', and now is not the time to talk about it." Yidizhi didn't seem to want to continue this topic, "I'd like to ask you to start with the immediate task first."

……

Kanagawa Prefecture, corner sweet shop 'Kanroji'.

"welcome."

Accompanied by the bell when the door was pushed open, a young man with tea hair walked in from the door of the store.

His hair and coat were a little wet from the rain, and he was a little bit embarrassed. After entering the store, he immediately apologized to Rihua Ganlu Temple in front of the counter.

"Sorry, it suddenly rained while I was walking by the river, mind if I stay a little longer?"

"Why do you mind, please stay here to shelter from the rain, if you need an umbrella, there are also umbrellas here."

Ganlu Temple Yurika was a little surprised, because most of the people who came here were acquaintances, and few new customers came alone at this time.

"I won't bother you with the umbrella. I'll leave after the rain lessens, because my house is not far away... Oh yes, I'm a new resident who moved nearby," the young man seemed to be able to see what she was thinking. Explain, "The neighbor's kid also recommended this place to me, and he said it is the best dim sum shop nearby."

Speaking of this, he smiled apologetically: "I will probably come here often in the future, I hope I don't leave a bad impression on you."

"How could it be?" the girl hurriedly waved her hands, "Please take a look."

"The decoration here is very special, is it the style of the Taisho period?"

"Yes, because that's when it was established."

"It's been a long time..." Fang Shi Yangming couldn't help blinking his eyes in surprise, "That's a century-old shop, has it been made into a chain?"

"No, there is only one here." Ganlu Temple replied, "Because many dim sum are ancestral crafts, it is said that it was the favorite taste of an ancestor who died young, so it has been kept since the Taisho period, and there is no handed down. A plan for outsiders."

What a traditional family.

It is estimated that the 'ancestor' should have some extraordinary special meaning for them, so commemorate it in this way... I am a little interested, try to continue to get into the relationship and ask to see it, just right in front of me Girls are also the more active type.

"It's really a treasure-like dim sum shop that has been able to pass on the ancient taste for so long. No wonder Junpei-kun recommended me to come here."

"...Huh? Are you referring to Yoshino-san?"

"Do you know him? He is my neighbor." Fang Shi Yangming smiled.

In this way, after learning that the young man in front of her was a friend of Yoshino Junpei, Ganlu Temple was not so restrained. She chatted with Fangishi Yangming about the nearby specialties and scenic spots worth visiting. Finally, the young man changed the topic back to previous content.

"That...it may be offensive to ask this, but I'm curious about what the ancestor of the Ganlu Temple family did to make you commemorate it so much," he said, "Actually, I also write occasionally, so I don't care about these things. Will be more interested. Mind if you can tell me?"

"Mr. Fang Shi is actually a writer?" The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's just a bit of a surprise, because I always feel that writers don't like being known by others."

"I'm not in the habit of doing that, and generally, it's fine as long as you don't use your pseudonym."

"Oh yes..."

Fortunately, the girl seemed to have a high degree of affection for the profession of writer, and quickly talked about the information she knew—after all, it was not something that could not be said.

Less than half a year after the store was first established, it almost went bankrupt due to an earthquake and poor management, but just the day before it was about to close, a person from an ancient family miraculously appeared and offered a helping hand, expressing nectar Someone from the temple family once had a huge sum of money stranded with them, and it is reasonable to hand it over to this store now-even provided relevant proof of property ownership.

Before leaving, he also said that if you have difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to them, because that ancestor has been kind to them, and it is a great kindness to a considerable extent.

"Then we relied on that money to get through the most difficult period——grandma told me so." Speaking of which, the girl smiled sheepishly, "Does it sound a bit like that kind of morning drama? The plot is not something interesting, let you laugh."

"No, how could it be? This is a very touching story." Fang Shi Yangming said seriously, "If you have to laugh at this kind of true relationship between people, it is really hopeless... By the way, What did that ancestor like to eat? I want to try it too."

"Okay! There are sugar cakes, small bean cakes, sweet tea..." The girl quickly announced the names of a dozen desserts like a cannonball, "—and cherry cakes! Which ones do you want to try?"

"Amazing! Remember it very clearly."

I could hardly hold back the applause.

"Because I happen to like these too," Ganlusi scratched the end of his hair, "even because I ate too much, my hair changed color."

... Incredible.

Then Fang Shi Yangming casually mentioned a few snacks he was interested in (and then added pudding). When the girl went to pack the goods, he heard a certain news broadcast on the old TV in the store.

"Mr. Yashiki Teriyaki, the record-breaking Japanese/Japanese oldest man, after being interviewed by local media..."

"I remembered," the girl who was putting the snacks into the paper package said suddenly, "The name of the benefactor who helped us should be 'Ubuyashiki'."

The information flashed through Fang Shi Yangming's mind like sparks connected in series, but before he had time to go deep, the door of the dim sum shop was suddenly pushed open, interrupting his thinking.

Fang Shi Yangming turned his head, and saw a young man in a black and white jacket, a mask, and a pair of golden and green pupils standing at the door to close his umbrella. After realizing his sizing up, he looked over without flinching.

There was some unexplained dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if the young man with brown hair shouldn't be here.

From the looks of it, this should be the weirdo with the snake that Junpei mentioned.

Fang Shi Yangming was about to speak preemptively, when he heard the girl in front of the counter introduce him with a vigorous voice: "This is Mr. Yihei, a regular customer in the store. And Mr. Yihei... this is a newcomer who moved to the neighborhood Mr. Fang Shi is also a novelist!"

'also'?

The young man blinked, and suddenly remembered that his editor had mentioned about a certain writer with rare heterochromatic pupils.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

He tried his best to calm down, and spoke in disbelief:

"Could it be that you are... the teacher who wrote "The Telephone", 'The Eye of the Cobra'?"

"Don't say other people's pen names casually in public," the young man with a pair of heterochromatic pupils narrowed his eyes and said slowly in an indifferent tone, "Where is your social etiquette?"

Oops... It seems that there are such types who don't want their identities exposed.

"I'm very sorry." Fangshi Yangming first apologized in accordance with the general social principles of neon, and then told the young man in front of him the pseudonym he told Junping to show his sincerity.

Yi Hei, who heard Fang Shi Yangming's pseudonym, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Are you familiar with Ganlu Temple?"

"Ah?... No, I came to this store for the first time about 10 minutes ago." The young man with tea hair was a little surprised, "Why do you think so?"

It's not because I saw Ganlu Temple chatting with you so happily outside the window.Yi Hei didn't answer, but looked at Fang Shi Yangming for a while with snake-like eyes, then he looked away, turned and walked towards the shelves.

The moment he turned his back to Fang Shi Yangming, something suddenly appeared on his neck.

The white snake spit out the letter, and its golden eyes stared directly at the light-colored eyes of the young man.

Has it finally appeared, the invisible snake Junpei mentioned?Fang Shi Yangming thought to himself.Let's do a little test first.

"Miss Ganlu Temple, please look over there..."

He tried to point to Ganlusi to the shelf beside Ihei.

"Huh? What happened over there?" Ganlu Si blinked, puzzled.

It turns out that ordinary people can't see it.

"Sorry, I read it wrong, I thought a cat ran in."

He casually shifted the subject away, and saw Yi Hei glanced back at him warily, so he returned a friendly smile, waved his hand and said, "It seems that the rain has stopped, so I'll go first, I'm very happy See you, Mr. Iguro."

The author has something to say:

Fangshi Yangming's "I bit my tongue" is playing with the memes of the Monogatari series. Although I have played half of it, it may be the same as not playing, but I still want to say:

——I always like Oshino Ougi! (Who asked you this!)
