Don't compete with fairy tale vests

In its place was an impossibly large and colorful male lion.

There are almost two lions as tall as Junichiro Tanizaki standing behind him. Countless colors flow on the lion, like a flowing nebula. The windless and automatic lush mane makes this beast look extraordinarily powerful, just like in a fairy tale. The gods are average.

That strange beast is crawling on the ground in a hunting posture, as if it could rush out to tear its prey to pieces at any time. The two big and divine eyes are like radiant colored glass, shining eagerly in the dimly lit place. .

"Glau?" After all, the transformation into a live lion was a bit scary, but Junichiro Tanizaki still asked tentatively when he saw the similar expression on the lion's face to that of Grau Graman.

The boy's voice came out of the lion's mouth immediately: "It's me, sorry, I was a little too excited to see 'Olin'."

The lion licked his furry paws docilely, and then rested his chin on the overlapping paws. His eyes like blue glass beads blinked at him, indicating that he would wait quietly for the next arrangement.

The place where they stayed was very hidden, and the night brought good cover. Junichiro Tanizaki simply didn't care too much about the huge size of Graugramman, and even touched the lion's fur as he wished.

The woman had already entered the Guandi Temple at this time. When she got closer, Tanizaki Junichiro also found that her face was full of fatigue and anxiety, and she looked very young and energetic a few weeks ago because of the improvement of the restaurant business very different.

Something must have happened, the young member of the Armed Detective Agency thought to himself, relying on his keen sense of smell that is often responsible for collecting intelligence, he subconsciously connected the abnormality shown by Kobayakawa Ineko with that necklace.

"We may have to speed up our actions. Ms. Kobayakawa's situation does not look good."

Tanizaki Junichiro whispered next to the lion's round ear, watched the little ear flap a few times, and then was rubbed by the big cat's head, telling him that he understood.

The young man was instantly attracted to him. When he was buried in the sand of Graugramman before, he was a little terrified of this ability to make people helpless, but now he feels much more at ease.

The female proprietor of Zhonghua Restaurant has been visiting Guan Gong Temple for a while, Junichiro Tanizaki chose to follow up and let the little lion stay outside. Grau Graman readily agreed, but it was almost time for the worship to end. , neither Kobayakawa Inako nor Tanizaki Junichiro have ever come out.

Worried about what would happen between the female shopkeeper and the member of the detective agency, Graugramman calmed down, changed back into a human form, and slipped in while the staff were not paying attention.

He himself was not good at finding the way, so he wandered around the Guandi Temple, but found the collaborator he almost disappeared.

The light-haired boy was looking ahead warily.

Following the direction of Tanizaki Junichiro's line of sight, Kurikawa Soryu also saw the source of his vigilance from the perspective of the little lion.

Just like the scene that Kurikawa saw when he was reminded by the old man Roaming Mountain in the bar, some black substance was slowly overflowing from the middle of the circle formed by the two snakes, and it was completely wrapped around its wearer, like Put a black armor on the lady, but this kind of picture is very weird no matter how you look at it.

"There will be no more pain soon."

Before he had time to stop him, Junichiro Tanizaki saw the young man named Grau Graman walking towards the mutated female shopkeeper unsuspectingly, but he found that the young man didn't seem to be talking to the lady who fell on the ground. Instead, he was communicating with the black substance on Kobayakawa Rice's body.

The boy's figure was gradually replaced by the male lion he had seen at the door before, and every step forward of the colored death left a piece of glistening gravel, heading straight for his prey.

The mass of black matter was boiling, but Junichiro Tanizaki felt it crying inexplicably, his empathy ability was amplified by that strange force, panic and despair suddenly appeared in his heart, but when the sand of Graugramman passed him When he stretched his ankle, the lost happiness suddenly returned to him, and he realized that he was unknowingly affected by the ability of that unknown thing just now.

The colored gravel that shone like stardust accumulated on the ground. This should be an extremely beautiful and dreamy picture, but it is like a deadly poison to the degenerate fantasy kingdom resident attached to the woman.The black matter was quickly assimilated when it touched the bright sand, turning into orange-red gravel and falling

With the disappearance of the influence of the pseudo-Olin, Kobayakawa Inako gradually came to her senses. Facing her current situation, she didn't seem too surprised, and her expression was unbelievably calm.

"He's gone back," the elderly woman broke the silence first, but before Tanizaki Junichiro and Grau Graman could reply, she continued as if telling herself, "Go back It’s okay, too greedy but you will be punished.”

"How do you feel now? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Tanizaki Junichiro asked with some concern, he deliberately avoided the topic just now.Before, he didn't know what kind of wish Ms. Kobayakawa had made, but now he can already guess it pretty well. He has always been good at taking care of other people's emotions, so naturally he won't bring up that topic again.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I can live for at least another 30 or [-] years." Ms. Kobayakawa replied angrily, but her concern for young people was very useful, but she didn't seem to have a good impression of the hospital.

"He's gone back." Graugramman, who was standing beside him, answered Kobayakawa's previous question bluntly.

"That's good, save me from quarreling with me all the time, forget about the resurrection of the dead," Ms. Kobayakawa showed a nostalgic smile, and took off the necklace from her neck, "You are here for this, right? , how do you think, the only extraordinary thing around me is this."

"Thank you." Tanizaki Junichiro did not expect to get the mission target so easily.I don't know if it's because of Grau Graman's technique, Ms. Kobayakawa seems to be in a good mood, and she seems to have figured out something. The temperament on her body looks different from what he saw before.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask Guan Gong for help. It's an acknowledgment that you solved the trouble. Why don't you come to my shop and have a meal."

Facing Kobayakawa Inako's kindness, Tanizaki Junichiro almost agreed, but remembering the serious face of the president, he still politely declined the female shopkeeper's invitation while wiping off his sweat.

"Finally, the hard work of the past few days has not been in vain, and the mission has been successfully completed." Junichiro Tanizaki was also relieved to send Ms. Kobayakawa away after a long time. Although she didn't know why she wanted to invite himself and Grau Graman as guests so much, But he was relieved that the task had been successfully completed.

After they came out of Guandi Temple, they had plenty of time to meet. Junichiro Tanizaki did not refuse his proposal to go shopping in Chinatown, and Naomi also asked him to bring some Chinese snacks back.

"But it's kind of weird." Lion Boy took a sip of the herbal tea he bought in Chinatown, scratched his chin, and said a little puzzled.

They were standing in front of a store. The twinkling signboard at the entrance of the store matched the rapidly changing hair color of the thinking boy. Anyway, Tanizaki Junichiro was dazzled and even a little dizzy.

"Is there any doubt?" Tanizaki Junichiro took a tentative sip of the herbal tea in his hand when he saw that he was enjoying himself, but because of the special taste, he couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and he was choked abruptly. Arrived, coughing non-stop.

"The taste of emotions is not right." Graugramman smacked his lips, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of herbal tea, he looked thoughtful, and the speed of changing the color of his hair also slowed down, which is often the time he is about to Want to understand what the precursor.

"Smell of emotion?" Does this thing have a smell too?Tanizaki Junichiro thought to himself.

After all, herbal tea costs money. In the spirit of not wasting money, he bravely tried the second sip. Perhaps he had prepared himself for the first sip. He actually swallowed it smoothly and tasted some Flavor, sip it.

"Ms. Kobayakawa, you've been so calm all this time. She only had so much emotional grit just now." Some germanium-colored sand appeared out of thin air in the boy's palm, but stopped flowing in a very short time.

"Maybe it's because Ms. Kobayakawa is stronger?" Tanizaki Junichiro said uncertainly.

But it seemed impolite to continue the discussion, and the two tacitly changed the topic.

"However, this necklace is really about to set off a bloody storm in Yokohama. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this matter has not been exposed to the eyes of ordinary people. The port mafia has made a lot of efforts in cooperation with the government. I don't know why they are suddenly so active."

The young member of the detective agency took out the necklace named Olin from his pocket again to confirm it in a hidden place, and casually talked about some innocuous topics with the boy beside him.

But when he was about to put the necklace back into the evidence bag, the golden chain was snatched away by a child's hand.

A little boy with black and white hair stood beside him with a pair of strange eyes. A tattered doll sat on the boy's shoulder, and "Olin" was twirling on his fingertips .

"Wait, don't be like this, this is not a toy," Junichiro Tanizaki thought that this was probably some naughty child who had separated from his family, so he hurriedly stopped him, although he didn't know whether Olin would be destroyed by external forces, but it was also It is an important evidence, but it can't just be used as a child's toy, "Little brother, have you separated from your family?"

"No, I'm here to find something." The boy no longer twirled the necklace, but held it firmly in his palm.

"Then did you find it? Can I return this necklace to my brother first?" Junichiro Tanizaki was quite patient with the child, and he reached out to the boy, trying to ask Aolin back in a gentle way.

"I'm afraid it's not possible, because I've already found it." Yumeno Hisaku held the blade that was so hard to hide under the eyes of the willow spirit between his fingers, and maliciously slapped the palm of the strange young man, feeling the pain and pain in his palm. The warm liquid poured out, and he tilted his head contentedly and showed a sweet smile with sincerity, "You hurt me, big brother."

Black palm prints appeared on Tanizaki Junichiro's face, and then the sound of something being torn was right next to his ears.

He lost consciousness in the next second, only remembering that he finally saw a piece of colored gravel that was sprayed out quickly.
