...I really haven't found it yet.

But Otoko Yuta said before that someone was following them, could it be that person is Akutagawa?

Akiba Kusama hung up the phone without paying much attention.

With the help of [Lixiang], she quickly followed the clues to catch the curser on the task list.

The mask on the man's face was smashed and he lay face down among the ruins.

Kusama Akiba knelt down next to him, she touched his pulse lightly with her fingertips, and after confirming that she was still alive, she called the supervisor in charge of the handover.

The rest is out of her scope.

The girl who got the points stood up on her knees. She wiped off the dust on her hands, and she was in a good mood.

Then all that's left is—

Find Ryunosuke Akutagawa who is hiding somewhere.

It's one thing before you know it, but it's different after you know it.

Kusama Akiba still remembers the horrifying scene of Otoko Yuta and Nakahara Chu also throwing trees at each other to pay their respects.

Thinking of this, she left the abandoned building, turned into the commercial street, and bought three ice creams.

One for herself, one for Rika, and one...

"Come out, I've already seen you." Akiba Kusama said imitating Kenji Kamo.

……

The surrounding crowd came and went, but there were not many familiar figures in the noisy background.

"The host..." the system couldn't help reminding, "He is a mafia after all, but he is not so stupid."

Kusama? If it wasn't for Jade Dog who almost got hit last time? Akiba: ...

She snorted softly, and looked down at the cone in her hand with some embarrassment: "But it's almost melting."

"Uh..." System: "You can eat two..."

Its voice suddenly stopped, and someone took a step in the darkness.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was still wearing the black windbreaker, and the boy turned his back to the street lamp, deliberately reducing his sense of presence, as if he would disappear at any moment.

But even without a systematic reminder, Kusama Akiba still spotted him at the first sight.

"What a coincidence. Akutagawa-sama, do you go shopping too?" She asked knowingly, her eyes bent into a cute crescent, and she waved the cone.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't answer her.

He stood where he was, neither stepped forward nor backed up after that step, and it took him a long time to say: "Don't call me that."

Akiba Kusama stuffed the cone directly into his hand.

"There are a lot of people here, talk while walking."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke couldn't help taking a look at the sudden extra thing in his hand. He frowned, stared at the girl who took the lead for a while, and finally followed.

Akiba Kusama: "How is Yin recently?"

Akutagawa paused, remembering Gin's shocked expression when Nakahara told him that Akiba Kusama was still alive.

"Um..." he said.

Kusama Akiba stopped in her tracks, she looked at him strangely, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does that mean?"

Akutagawa hesitated: "I got hurt a little on the recent mission."

But she herself said that there is no serious problem, and soon went to the next task.

Thinking of this, Akutagawa Ryunosuke couldn't help but frowned again. He looked at the black mass beside Akiha Kusama, and the corners of his straight lips loosened, and asked, "What is this?"

Kusama Akiba said his gaze——

"Can you see Satoshi?"

Probably because of the excessive shock, she even raised her voice a little bit.

The passers-by gathered at the food stall looked over curiously, and Akiba Kusama choked, pulling Akutagawa to quicken his pace.

The boy froze obviously, his body subconsciously wanted to use Rashomon to fight back, but his rationality quickly recovered.

Port Mafia's most loyal watchdog has never been so affectionate with a human.Even Yin, he just stood shoulder to shoulder with him when he went shopping.

Akutagawa's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked like he wanted to tell her to let go.But in the end, she answered her previous question first: "The port Mafia has no conjurers that can be trusted for the time being. So the guerrillas will now wear corresponding spells at any time."

His ability, Rashomon, can manipulate clothing, so for Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the weapon is this magically modified windbreaker.

Kusama Akiba got important information, it was unbelievable: "Why did you tell me?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: "?"

Kusama Akiba: "You are stupid, I haven't figured out why I didn't return to the organization, what if I am a traitor?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not speak.

His expression was unpredictable and complicated, but there was no anger-like emotion.

After a long time, Akiba Kusama heard his cold voice.

"Then why don't you go back to the organization?"

This is not something Akutagawa would ask.

During the week when she attacked him, he always treated her as a transparent person—at most, a colleague whom he had a tentative impression of.

Akiba Kusama looked back at him, thinking that he would turn away awkwardly.

but……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke just stared at her with a calm face, and analyzed rationally: "Master Zhongyuan said that your current salary is not 1/3 of what you used to be when you were in the port mafia, and the work is also much more arduous. If it is For the sake of that person named Otoko Yuta..."

Speaking of this, Akutagawa paused, "According to the investigation, he once had a fiancée whom he knew as a child."

The moment the black [tent] fell, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was planning to rush in.

But in order not to be discovered by Yi Gu Youtai, he stayed too far away before.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa stood outside the [tent], he clenched his fists, and he didn't understand his feelings.

"You mean Lixiang?" Kusama Akiba heard the key words, she blinked, and immediately introduced her little friend, "Here, here, the one you found is Lixiang."

[Rika] Allowing the girl to move, she seems very cooperative.

"Lixiang was cute when she was young, and she could act like a baby."

In the girl's joyful voice, [Lixiang] opened his mouth and gestured silently.

[Autumn leaves belong to Satoka and Yuta. 】

"Although it's cute now, it's just not convenient when playing marbles."

【Don't share it with others. 】

"By the way, Lixiang is still very strong! Lixiang was the one who brought me here just now."

【If you snatch it away, I will kill you. 】

"This is Akutagawa, do you want to shake hands?"

Akiba Kusama looked up at Satoshi.

【Lixiang】It turned into an innocent look again, she nodded, seemed a little shy, but still said clumsily: "Qiu Ye, friend."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't understand what happened.

He didn't intend to reach out, but hostility appeared between his brows.

The young man opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he keenly sensed something was wrong.

The sky turned red.

Ability?Or spells?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke couldn't tell the difference for a moment, but his body entered a state of alert.

"Rashomon..."

His voice was lowered, and the black skull bit the curse of the attack.

"Kusama, first..."

The familiar breath disappeared.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words paused, he stood in the semi-darkness of the street lamp, his pupils dilated with astonishment.The black on the boy's body merged with the shadow, almost being swallowed by the darkness.

the second time……

This is the second time he has lost her.

……

Unlike Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Akiba Kusama didn't panic when he found out that he was entangled by an unknown curse.

"Why do things always turn out like this in the end."

Last time it was a dog roll, this time it was Satoshi.

【Sato】is gone, but Kusama Akiba doesn't think it will be an accident.

She has a kind of blind confidence in 【Lixiang】.

"Okay! It's decided!" Akiba Kusama stood in the middle of the street, cheering herself up, "Go to Satoka first, then Akutagawa."

system?

System: Aren't you worried about Akutagawa?

Kusama Akiba said confidently: "No, the usual curses come to hit me, why did it go to Akutagawa?"

System: Then you should be more panicked now.

Kusama Akiba shook her head: "I saved it, I'm not dying yet, so I can hold on."

The system lost its sound. It looked around for its host, and finally stopped in front of an unconscious little girl.

There is a cursed breath.

Akiba Kusama stepped forward and put the back of her hand on her forehead.

The world changed in an instant, Akiba Kusama raised her head, and stared at the giant eight-eyed spider for a moment.

"I'm scared now."

Although the words are said in this way, the body's reaction is faster than the words.

By the time Kusama Akiba reacted, she had already activated the spell.

The giant spider was transformed into a hamster by her.

Now looking down at the other party has become herself.

As the curse weakened, the comatose child showed signs of awakening.

I see, is it a nightmare-like ability?

Akiba Kusama suddenly realized.

She walks and earns points along the way.

In just 5 minutes, Kusama Akiha saw the world ruled by the ruffian boss and the world ruled by Godzilla one after another.

【Incantation】

【Lv.3→Lv.4】

After the successful upgrade, Akiba Kusama's center of gravity gradually shifted.

I don't know where this curse came from. She prefers to play tricks rather than hurt others, and she gave her so much savings for nothing...

"Lixiang?"

Akiba Kusama stopped at the corner.

She tried to call [Rika] in the distance, but there was no response.

[Li Xiang] opened his eyes, looked up in a daze when he saw her, his eyes froze for a moment, and then suddenly filled with fear.

Such a move was beyond Kusama Akiba's expectations.

She knew that the real Lixiang had already broken the curse, and the current [Satoka] was just a magic spell by Otoko Yuta... In other words, what [Satoka] was doing was Otoko Yuta's nightmare?

When deducing this conclusion, Kusama Akiba did not immediately exorcise the cursed filth as directly.

On the one hand, she knew that she couldn't go out if she didn't do this, and on the other hand, she felt that this seemed to spy on her companion's privacy.

After a long time, the girl pulled out a hair.

She pressed her warm palm to Lixiang's forehead, and decided to apologize to Yi Guyoutai after returning home.

Otoko Yuta's nightmare should be the year when Li Xiang died.

Akiba Kusama took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and made mental preparations.

【"no."】

The wind in my ears stopped.

Akiba Kusama stood at the door frame, watching herself confronting Otoku Yuta in amazement.

She didn't understand why she was crying, and she didn't understand why Yigu Yuta showed a sad expression, until she heard herself tremblingly asking:

【"Yi Gu You Tai, do you know this is a game?"】

The shackles of confinement were broken, and the memory lost due to "rollback" filled the brain again.

But now Akiba Kusama is calmer than ever.

--"no future."

She watched herself say something she had never said before, knowing that it was Otoko Yuta's own answer.

So in this fictional nightmare, she calls Otoko Yuta to stop him before he knocks herself unconscious.

"Worry too..."

The boy froze for a moment, then turned his head in disbelief, as if he didn't understand why there were two "Akiba Kusama".

He rarely showed that expression.

At least not after the first grade.

With Lixiang's release of the curse, Yigu Yuta was burdened with more and more things, which he could not avoid or throw away, so he could only walk alone with all the suffering in his heart.

"We're going home."

Kusama Akiba knelt down, smiled and held out her hand to him.

"go home?"

"Hmm..." Kusama Akiba slowed down and repeated patiently, "Don't you remember? You said you were a monster before, so I said - if you are a monster, then I am the monster sister, Lixiang is the younger sister, and we just happened to remake a Shrek family."【1】

"You and Lixiang, and me. Our home."

Yi Gu Youtai was still in a daze.

Kusama Akiba had no choice but to make a grimace and threaten: "If you don't speak, I will leave you."

As she spoke, she was about to stand up and leave, but the hem of her clothes was pulled slightly.

Yi Gu Youta's eyelashes trembled, his tone was light but firm.

"Autumn leaves..." he said, like a poor puppy, "don't leave me."

……

The last breath of curse was also expelled.

[Rika] Blinking, she quickly regained her vigor and vitality.

"Qiuye—" It draws out the long-tailed voice to act coquettishly, which is quite different from Yi Guyoutai.

Akiba Kusama smiled, she patted its head, and caught a glimpse of Ryunosuke Akutagawa coming from her corner.

"Are you all right?"

"If you ask me like that, I'll think you're expecting something to happen to me."

Akutagawa turned his eyes away: "I don't mean that."

Kusama Akiba laughed a few times, and stopped teasing him: "Okay, I have explained to Zhongya, your mission is over, and I will return to Yokohama soon."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took out his phone belatedly, and only then saw the text message from Nakahara Chuya.

"Uh……"

"bye……"

"How soon is it?" Akutagawa interrupted her for the first time.

He seemed persistent, with the attitude of not resting until he got an answer.

Probably to be included in the mission report?

Akiba Kusama thought about it.

That's right, Mori Ogai doesn't know what to think, it would be quite troublesome to ask about Akutagawa.

"Next week." Akiba Kusama replied, "I will come to Yokohama when I return from Kanagawa."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed the corners of his lips, he watched Akiba Kusama waved at him, just like when they first met.

"That's right..." Kusama Akiba said, "The cones have melted, do you want to throw them away?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke lowered his eyes.

He didn't give an answer immediately, at least not before the other party left.

"No need..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke murmured to himself as the boy disappeared into an invisible corner again.

"I'll eat it."
