[Comprehensive] Black and white city

In Matsumae's eyes, the girl Xingmoto Jinyi was a little strange.

But it doesn't mean that her behavior is so different from ordinary people, it's just... Would a girl of this age really hide in her room to sleep on sunny days and go out to play on rainy days like her?

...And it was a trip, and I didn't see her go out with a camera or something like that.

Xu Hua shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts, but she just walked to the door of the bathroom with tools and was about to go in, when she saw a thin white hand lift the curtain one step ahead of her.

She was taken aback, and then she saw the girl's lazy amber eyes, and the black cat that seemed to always be on her shoulder.

"Yo." Jinyi looked at her and smiled, then walked out from behind the curtain with his head down.On the contrary, Xu Hua was taken aback, and it took him a long time to realize: "Ah! 衿衣さん! Did you just wash it?"

"Well, be it." Jin Yi held the clothes to be changed in one hand, put the other hand in front of his lips and yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'll go back first..." After finishing speaking, he shook all the way without waiting for the other party to answer. Shaking back to the room.

As soon as she entered the door, she threw her clothes on the tatami and fell headlong on the quilt.Saya, who was still hanging on her shoulders, jumped down a long time ago, flipped deftly in mid-air, and landed on the ground silently.

It stretched a lot, and was about to lie down on the side of the pillow, when the girl next to it suddenly grabbed the quilt and turned over: "Hey, how did you get this student ID card?"

Saya snorted softly, lowered her head and licked her paw. "What nonsense." It raised its eyes and glanced at the quilt, but the other party was still curled up in the bed with eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep, "Of course I have my own method."

"Just a black cat?" It twitched its forehead, and before it could speak, the soft and lazy voice picked up again, "Speaking of which, Saya, I remember that you have been using the image of a black cat for almost a year?"

"Huh?" Saya snorted impatiently, flicking her tail slowly, "Is there any problem?"

"Although your original appearance is indeed strange, for you who often change your appearance, it is really rare to maintain the same posture for so long."

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Sha Ye looked at the back of the girl's head with his eyes open. After a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "You look boring today!" Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The room was finally so quiet that no sound could be heard, only the faint starlight penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled on the ground, drawing a very thin trace of light on the tatami.

Not knowing what was on his mind, Jin Yi opened his eyes and stared at the tiny silver thread without blinking. The amber eyes seemed to be dyed an inorganic cool tone by the light, shining brightly in the dark. It's appalling.

After a while, she breathed out silently and closed her eyes.

It's not that she doesn't like sleeping, it's just that sometimes, she is inevitably afraid.

When Xingmoto Jinyi first followed Saya, he always dreamed of many dark shadows day after day.The scene in the dream was not clear, and someone was struggling and shouting in a trance, but the miserable voice tearing through the air still couldn't reach her ears.

The only thing that stood out was a patch of red, like flowers and water flowing through the darkness, meandering across the ground under her feet, soaked in the moonlight pouring in from nowhere.

Every time at this time, she would wake up with a start.And the continuation of that dream has not yet been seen.

This is still the case.

When Jin Yi woke up, the room was still pitch black.The gap in the curtains is quite large, and you can clearly see the dark blue night sky outside, as well as the looming silhouette of the distant mountains below.

Saya got up early, and was lying on the window sill, licking her paws leisurely, and only when she heard the sound of her getting up did she turn around and say, "Let's go."

The girl staggered on the tatami, tilting her head in confusion.The long hair immediately fell down her shoulders, and a few strands just fell on the neckline of the bathrobe. She raised her hand and brushed it behind her head, revealing the delicate skin unique to girls of this age in the loose collar: "Okay I hate it... I just woke up..."

Complaints are complaints, but Jinyi obediently followed Saya to the station.One person and one cat first took the tram to Kanazawa Station of the prefectural office, and then took the Shinkansen to Tokyo. When the train arrived at the station, it was already late at night.

In fact, when he was still human, Apricot Motoi lived in Tokyo.Although she moved once when she was about ten years old, those two small towns are within the scope of this big city, so she is not unfamiliar with Tokyo.

I can vaguely think of the pink petals all over the sky on the ramp that must be passed to and from school in spring, and the cute laughter of the girls and the slapstick shouts of the boys one after another, as if they are still clearly audible.

""Ah, by the way, I just heard a new urban legend at school, do you want to hear it?"

"Listen to listen!"

"Hey! Haven't you learned the lesson from last time?"

"It's okay! This time I will definitely not be scared again! And there is tou..."』

"beep--"

The ear-piercing whistle sounded not far away, Jin Yi frowned unconsciously, and looked outside the not-so-narrow alley, the amber eyes hidden in the shadows seemed to be stained with the color of summer night. coolness.

Didn't expect to come back so soon.

The streets of Ikebukuro in front of her were filled with bright neon lights. She blinked, and suddenly put her hand on her forehead and let out a long sigh: "It's already early morning, can't you be quiet..."

Looking up, the sky is dyed colorful by the lights of the city, and the light and shadow flicker.Leaning against the corner of an abandoned building, she couldn't help but glance towards the entrance again.

After arriving in Tokyo, they did not go to their destination, Karaza Town, but took the tram straight to Ikebukuro.After Saya brought her here, she entered the abandoned building alone.

She waited outside alone, after that two people walked past her, but as if they didn't see her, they turned directly into the interior of the old building.

Ten minutes have passed so far.

She shrugged, silently leaning against the wall and looking at the busy street not far away.The crowd is still noisy, and the city shows no signs of falling asleep.

Something flapped its wings overhead and flew past with a "hula".

There was a faint smell of corruption in the air.

Have you ever thought about it?

In the city we are in now, this natural daily life may not really be as "natural" as people think.

Among the people who pass by each other every day, is it true that "human beings" are the only creatures?

Could it be that the black shadow hiding in the dark alley is really a mouse fleeing in panic?

In the evening, under the burning clouds, the wings whistling and flying rapidly, are they really the flock of birds returning late?

A black motorcycle roared past on the road, followed by a convoy of traffic police.The crowd was suddenly noisy, but soon returned to calm.

Jin Yi stood on tiptoe to look around, gradually became bored, and simply squatted down in the corner: "Ah, there are so many non-human beings in this city that it is dazzling..."

"Of course it's because of desire." A sudden voice came from not far away, and she froze for a moment, then she followed the reputation and saw the black cat in the shadow of the corridor entrance.While the other party was talking, he walked over slowly, with a small bottle like a test tube curled up on his raised tail, "A place with more desires is more suitable for living creatures. No matter humans or other races, escape It’s not about the pursuit of these things in nature.”

The girl tilted her head, brushed her skirt and stood up: "Including you?"

Saya snorted lightly, but instead of answering the question, she flicked her tail and threw something over.

In the next second, a small sparkling bottle fell into her palm along a beautiful parabola: "It's for you."

"What is this?" Picking up the tiny test tube with his fingers, Jin Yi put his face in front of the bottle in doubt.The liquid in the glass tube dangled between her fingers, emitting a strange green light, "Poison?"

Sha Ye obviously didn't want to mess with her, so he said firmly: "Shading liquid."

Jin Yi was silent for a moment, and finally twitched the corner of his mouth: "I thought you came to Ikebukuro in such a hurry as soon as you got out of the car...to ask the vampires who went in just now?"

"It's progress to be able to recognize them." The black cat glanced at her, nodded with rare satisfaction, and then explained, "This is a drug they developed for walking in the sun, even though you are not of the same race as them, But it still has reference value in terms of photophobia. So I asked them for this thing."

Jin Yi shook his head, and said casually, "Will you not be afraid of the sun after using this?"

"...Let's try first and then talk."

silence.

silence.

The next second, the girl suddenly jumped up, grabbed her hair and shouted exaggeratedly: "Hey! What's going on with that weird pause in front! You're not sure, are you? Am I a little white mouse!"

Unexpectedly, before Saya could speak, the laughter of several men came from the street without warning: "Oh~ so it's a little white mouse! Haha!"

There was a pause in the movement, and the girl standing under the street lamp turned her head when she heard the sound, and her long light tea hair suddenly swayed away.The orange light cast a faint shadow on her face, and her eyes seemed to light up suddenly.

Jin Yi frowned impatiently, and secretly put her hands behind her back.

Five young people laughed and came out of the shadow of the alley. Each of them had hair dyed in a strange color, and they didn't look like serious people.

One of the little guys tugged on the sleeve of the guy in the middle and looked at her with glowing eyes: "Brother! It's your favorite Loli style!"

"What Loli style!" The tall and thin man on the other side raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and said contemptuously, "Don't you know that big brother has recently changed to the uniform control route?"

"..."

As Jin Yi listened, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.Saya sighed weakly, and made a mouth shape at her, which probably meant that she should not be too eye-catching here.

Indeed, this position is a little awkward.

Although it is located in the center of Ikebukuro, it is a remote alley. If you don't pay attention, no one will find it.But the problem is that the possibility of not being discovered cannot be completely ruled out.

... So, let's withdraw first.

Jinyi paused at his feet, and was about to turn around, but his right hand was grabbed by someone, and then his hand was empty, and a male voice whistled and laughed: "Found something good! But what is it?"

"Hey!" It was careless!

Anger rose in an instant, Jin Yi shook off the other party, and reached out to snatch the shading liquid that was taken away by the man, but the other party was not to be outdone, and raised his hand and threw the bottle into the hands of his companion.

The short man who caught the bottle grinned and showed a mouthful of gold teeth: "Little sister seems to be in a hurry~ It can't be some forbidden drug?"

No peat!

Jin Yi let out a low curse, clenched his fists little by little, and let them loose again.She raised her head impatiently, and said in a deep voice, "Give it back to me."

Sure enough, I still don't do two things endlessly...

"Ah! Is it right?"

The blackout fluid is now in the hands of the guy who looks like the leader.He held the bottle in his hand and tossed it up and down, approaching him pretending to be friendly, "Don't be afraid, little sister, the big brothers are just joking with you~"

The subordinates behind him surrounded her one after another, and they were about to surround her inside. He looked around, curled up the corners of his mouth, and backed away silently.

"Look, it's so late now, we can't let a girl outside alone~"

"Hmm! Want to play with us? There are so many fun things to do!"

"Or, does my little sister have any suggestions?"

"As long as you play with us, I will return the things to you ~ very important things, aren't they?"

Ha, it's really noisy...

She sighed in her heart, and slowly grasped her left arm with her right hand: "Tsk, it's so troublesome."

"Huh? Did the little sister say something just now?"

Taking another step back, one foot has already stepped into the bottomless darkness behind him.However, at this moment, the noisy human voices around stopped abruptly without warning.

"please stop."
