Sumire Tohsaka

Hearing that Sumire Tohsaka was going to participate in the English competition in Mihua Town, Rin packed a dozen magic dresses and asked someone to deliver them to her.

"The crime rate in Mihua Town is too high, I don't trust you to go there alone."

On the phone, my sister expressed her concern simply and rudely.

Tohsaka Sumire couldn't understand the meaning of her sister's words at first.But when she arrived in Mihua Town, she suddenly understood.

"That... Akashi-kun?" She hesitated and pointed to a sign erected outside a certain building, her voice was rarely stuck, "That...that thing, did I read it wrong?"

Akashi Seijuro followed her fingertips to look over, only to see these lines of big characters written on the sign.

Today's homicide【1】

Yesterday's Murder [4]

Last month's homicide [151]

Today's traffic accident

Dead【0】

Traffic accidents last month

Dead【0】

"..."

Akashi Seijuro was also silent for a rare moment.After a while, he calmly explained to Sumire Tohsaka that this seems to be more interesting than any joke in his voice, which he has been practicing for a long time. Ghost stories are like stand-up cards for horror stories.

"It's not surprising." He said in a tone that seemed to say that the earth is round, "This is Mihua Town."

"This, that's it..."

Hana in the greenhouse (the former Reien female student who has no common sense) was quickly persuaded by Akashi Seijuro's so natural tone.

I see.I see.No wonder my sister always said "Magic will attract demons", "People who have nothing to do with magic should not touch the knowledge of magic", "If you are not a magician, don't touch these things", but she still prepares so many magic dresses for her... Outside Is this world so dangerous?

Sumire Tohsaka felt that she gradually understood everything.

At the same time, she looked into Akashi Seijuro's eyes with a little admiration.

"Akashi-kun... really amazing." She expressed her sincere emotion.

Indeed, in the eyes of a girl who has been living in the secluded and secret place of Liyuan Girls' High School since she was seven years old, it is possible to live in a place full of germs...ah no, full of murders that can kill people at any time, Surrounded by accidents and illnesses, Akashi Seijuro, who has survived to this age and still lived such an excellent life, is simply as remarkable as his older sister.

"?"

Although Akashi Seijuro didn't understand what she was talking about, his good upbringing made him nod his head and accepted the compliment habitually.

"Thank you," he said.

In this way, the already distorted common sense of a certain girl became even worse.

And when they arrived at Di Dan High School, what this distorted common sense encountered would not be a problem of the same degree as adding insult to injury.

That's just a landslide.

Several police cars parked in front of Didan High School, with red and blue police lights interlaced, dazzling the surrounding walls and glass. A middle-aged police officer in an ocher-brown coat and a bowler hat was talking to the surrounding People talking about something.The female high school student who was waiting at the side immediately walked over quickly when they saw them coming.

"Hello, you are the students of Luoshan High School who came to participate in today's English competition." The girl with long black and beautiful hair showed an apologetic smile, "I'm very sorry, as you can see, because of the venue, today The contest has been temporarily canceled. We will negotiate with the organizer to adjust the holding time, and we will notify you after confirmation. For today, please go back first.”

"May I ask." Akashi Seijuro looked back and forth between the police car and Teidan High School, "Did something happen today?"

"Huh?" The girl also glanced at the teaching building, "Because someone threatened to blow up Didan High School, so the police are here. For safety reasons, today's competition has also been cancelled."

"…………"

Even Seijuro Akashi, who is well-informed and knowledgeable, couldn't help but pause for a few seconds for this hard-core reason for cancellation before maintaining his character design, and just said "that's it" lightly.

Other schools canceled the competition because of the weather or the venue, but your school canceled the competition because someone planted a bomb in the teaching building... Is it worthy of being called Mihua Town? !

"Then we can't help it." He glanced at his watch, turned around and said to Tohsaka Sumire, "It's still early, how about we find a coffee shop to rest for a while? Tohsaka-san hasn't been to Mihua Town yet, right?" , do you want to turn around here first?"

"Just listen to Akashi-kun's arrangement."

Sumire Tohsaka nodded slightly.She got up early in the morning and drove from Kyoto to Tokyo by car. She really needed to sit down and have a good rest.The two quickly found a good cafe under the girl's suggestion, sat on the chairs and drank coffee.

After discussing the possible problems in the English competition and exchanging materials and notes, the two drank half of their coffee.Akashi Seijuro looked at Sumire Tohsaka who was playing boredly with the fruit on the cake, and suddenly asked another question.

"I haven't seen Tohsaka-san and Soya-senpai walking together recently."

He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, but his lines were unexpectedly straightforward.

"Did you break up?"

The little fork in Sumire Tohsaka's hand suddenly stopped.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

"Yes." She admitted frankly, "It's over."

"That's it." Akashi Seijuro didn't ask why she broke up with Soya Touji, but changed the subject, "I'm going to order something more, what do you want to eat?"

"no need."

Tohsaka Sumire shook her head, put down the fork in her hand, and lost interest in eating.She thought for a moment, picked up the handbag she was carrying and stood up.

"I'm planning to go to the foreign language bookstore on the next street to buy some books. That bookstore is quite famous on the Internet. I saw books by my favorite authors in his house before."

"Then let me go too."

Akashi Seijuro was also about to get up, but the girl shook her head and gave him a polite smile.

"Every time I go to the bookstore, I stay for a long time. It's very boring. Akashi-kun should have some activities for boys, so don't force yourself to accompany me to the bookstore."

That sentence was a veiled refusal.Akashi Seijuro's eyes darkened, and he picked up the coffee in front of him again.

"The meeting time is before seven o'clock in the afternoon, meet at the station." He didn't look at the girl, "Please pay attention to the time, don't be late, Tohsaka-san."

"Ok."

Sumire Tohsaka nodded and left the coffee shop.

It wasn't a lie that she wanted to go to a foreign language bookstore, and it wasn't a lie that that bookstore had her favorite books... It's just that Sumire Tohsaka didn't actually arrive at that bookstore.

Because when she was walking through an alley, she suddenly saw a person who seemed to have known him before.

Wearing a small blue suit, a red bow tie, and a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, a primary school boy is chasing another child and rushing towards an abandoned building.

Sumire Tohsaka's footsteps stopped.

'Have you seen that child somewhere before? '

Her mind quickly drifted through the incident on the train from Fuyuki back to Kyoto some time ago.Soon, in the corner of her memory, she found the dark-skinned detective who questioned herself... and a trace of a little boy who had been watching her quietly.

'By the way, it was the kid who followed the young detective at that time. '

However, compared to the identity of the child, there are obviously more things that need her attention.

Sumire Tohsaka's eyes wandered to the abandoned building and the child who was being chased by the boy.The child who was being chased seemed to have noticed her gaze, turned around suddenly, and showed her a smile that was so sinister that it should not appear on the face of a child, and rushed into the abandoned building quickly.

"Hey! Wait a minute! You bastard—"

Panting for breath, the boy in the small suit also quickened his pace, chasing the child and rushing into the abandoned building.

"..."

Sumire Tohsaka rarely hesitated.

What should I say...

She put her index finger to her lips and thought deeply.In her past experience, she has never encountered such a situation, so she doesn't know what to do now is normal.

"However... let's follow up first."

She nodded.

"Following that kind of thing... If you run into this kind of place, you will definitely be in danger... You can't leave such a young child alone."

Sumire Tohsaka took out her mobile phone, found a bad teacher who was not serious but really strong enough from her contacts on LINE, and sent her location to the location.

"That should be fine."

She pondered, took out the magic dress that Tohsaka Rin made for herself from her pocket, held a string of gems in her hand, and walked into the abandoned building with her head down.

Almost as soon as she stepped into the building, she stopped because of the chill that ran through her body.

It was an inexplicable dizziness that seemed to stir the brain into a ball.

There is a real malice that makes the blood run cold.

This feeling……

She lowered her eyes, glanced at the white crystal whose palm was trembling and rapidly turning black, and sighed silently.

"...A barrier?"

Sumire Tohsaka recalled the occult books she had read in the study, paused, and corrected this conclusion.

"No, it's a curse."

She once again took steps toward the interior of the building shrouded in inexplicable darkness.

Every step I take, I can clearly feel that the air is deteriorating.The overly intense darkness seemed to distort even the composition of the air itself. If my sister was here, she would probably be able to immediately analyze the situation in front of me.However, it is a pity that all the books related to magic are stored in the basement, and Tohsaka Sumire does not know what term to use to summarize the situation in front of her.

She stepped onto the distorted and folded stairs with a blank face.
