"Ranagi Renji?" Atobe Keigo immediately said his full name.
Yoshizawa Seina nodded: "Sure enough, he is someone you know."
"Then remember to remind him to go to the shrine." She looked over Nolan Knight's shoulder at the red-haired boy over there, "As for this brooch..."
Xiang Ri Yueren looked at her doubtfully, then lowered his head and carefully touched the feathers embedded in the brooch.
Zara Black took a sharp breath, put down the hand covering his nose, and walked closer to Hidakuto.
"My nose was a little dry just now, and I thought I was going to have a nosebleed." She explained, looking at the brooch to confirm again.
It is indeed the feather of the Crow Tengu.
Tengu are divided into different types according to their levels, and Crow Tengu is the lower-ranking mountain spirit among them. There is a strong demonic aura on the feathers. Although it will not bring misfortune, it will attract companions.
"A very special feather." After thinking about it, Zara Black opened his mouth and said, "I have seen it in a book before. Take it to the shrine and store it for a week, and it will be contaminated with spiritual energy and bring you good things. transport."
Yue Xiang was frightened by her serious expression: "Is there such a thing?"
He turned to ask Riji: "Riji, do you know?"
Hiyoshi was not sure: "Maybe?"
This senior's knowledge reserve is obviously greater than his.
Yoshizawa Seina glanced at Atobe Keigo.
He understood: "I want to go to the shrine. Give me the brooch."
"Let's go to the shrine again." Atobe Keigo has been going to the shrine frequently in the past two years, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
Yue Xiang closed the box and handed it to Atobe, still a little reluctant: "Can I get it back in a week?"
"kindness."
He put the box in his pocket, raised his chin to Zara Black, and motioned for her to leave: "Let's go."
Zara Black looked forward to asking: "Okonomiyaki?"
"Go to the shrine first."
"oh."
She responded glumly.
Atobe Keigo glanced at him and saw that Yushi Ninzu was equally unhappy. His face was full of regret, and he didn't know whether he was regretting missing a piece of information or a meal of okonomiyaki.
*
Completely out of Hyokui's range, Zara Black breathed a sigh of relief.
In the car that was moving forward smoothly, she looked at Hyotei Academy getting further and further away. The boy sitting next to him put down the document in his hand.
"Is there something wrong with the Ice Emperor's barrier?"
Yoshizawa Seina turned her head back: "Not entirely."
The magician set up a barrier to prevent the curse spirit from entering and being generated. This was Nolan Knight's request.
The problem is that the barrier can only block low-level spell spirits.
The negative emotions in Hyotei Academy are not shared by the most common low-level curse spirits, so it has become a self-help paradise for super-level curse spirits and monsters.
Seeing that Atobe Keigo was deep in thought, she comforted him: "This barrier is not bad. Although there are monsters, at least you don't have to see the cursed spirits every day."
In the common sense she still retained in her mind, the things that humans called curse spirits looked too fancy. Just thinking about it, the SAN value is crazy.
Touching his temples with his fingers, Atobe Keigo didn't reply.
Yoshizawa Seina looked at him and seemed to be thinking about something. She was so bored that she took out her mobile phone and started playing.
She forgot her headphones in a drawer in the classroom, so she turned the volume down to the lowest level and swiped her fingers across the screen. The frequency of the cheering sound effects changed from fast to slow, and finally a piece of obviously depressing music appeared along with her sigh.
The fifth time GAME OVER's music appeared, Atobe Keigo finally couldn't help but turn his head.
"what are you playing?"
"This." Zara Black showed her cell phone, which is a popular elimination game recently, "This level is too difficult."
He didn't speak, but his eyes revealed what he wanted to say.
---childish.
Yoshizawa Seina put the phone into his hand: "You can't do it if it were you."
?
Although he knew that the girl was deliberately provoking, he was fearless.
Picking up her phone, Atobe Keigo scanned it quickly, asked about the basic operation methods, and started a new game.
In order to witness the wonderful moment when the eldest young master was instantly killed, Zara Black moved closer.
He smelled of roses. Maybe it was because she complained last time that the scent was too strong, or maybe it was because she took a shower before leaving the stadium. The smell was light and not offensive.
"Atobe, you like roses very much." She unconsciously dropped the honorific.
Atobe Keigo didn't even raise his eyes, his fingers moved briskly back and forth on the screen, "Yes."
"If you have the chance, please visit my shrine." Yoshizawa Seina held her chin, with a hint of showoff in her voice: "I have the most beautiful roses in the world in my garden."
The finger sliding the screen hangs in mid-air. There is a gap of a few seconds for the BOSS to destroy all his characters. The sound effect of GAME OVER sounded again.
Zara Black had an expression of "I knew it" and complained unceremoniously: "Look, as expected you also..."
The phone was tossed aside.
Atobe Keigo stared at her, his sharp eyes trying to see through her: "You haven't lost your memory?"
Zara Black looked confused: "Huh?"
He watched for a long time, using his keen insight to the extreme, unable to see through the truth behind her confused expression.
Her ignorance, whether it was fake or real, made him a little uncomfortable.
"It's nothing." He tilted his head, "You said something similar before."
Zara Black immediately became energetic: "What are you talking about?"
There was her reflection in the car window. The two people were actually quite far apart, but in the reflection it looked like she was leaning on his shoulder.
During the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, Nolan Knight returned to the UK to visit relatives.
She also followed him - more strictly speaking, she was summoned.
British homes have more gorgeous rose gardens than those in Japan.
In the evening, he came out of the study. The gardener had just watered the plants, and water droplets slowly slipped from the petals. If it were in Japan, as soon as the gardener finished watering, she would run to the garden to have fun.
Bounce the flower buds with your fingertips. When the petals shake, small water droplets burst out, and the unknown insects that have just emerged from the soil are "rained". She squatted by the flower bed, nagging and apologizing to Xiaochong.
He didn't know if this guy really understood or was just talking nonsense.
In short, it's very noisy.
But now that that guy's voice is gone, it feels like something is missing.
Atobe Keigo pinched the bridge of his nose.
Something is wrong with him.
He actually missed her a little.
I don't know what she is doing or whether she is still at Atobe's house.
After learning that he must return to England, the guy turned around pretending to be nonchalant and groaned.
"Go, go, I'm not going."
"You'd better not go there." He said seriously.
He was the only one living in the Japanese mansion, so after sending away the servants, it was okay to talk to himself. But he still has his family at home in England. He couldn't explain such a bizarre thing, so he could only conceal it from the source.
The blond girl's eyes widened, she turned around angrily, and disappeared in an instant before she could even finish her words.
"I won't even go if you beg me, huh!"
Atobe Keigo stood on the balcony of the study room and looked down at the garden below. The gentle wind dispels the tiredness of the evening and blows away the fog in my heart.
In Japanese Onmyodo, dusk is called the devil's hour, a time when humans and ghosts and gods can appear at the same time.
It was during times like these that he discovered the existence of God.
And now, at almost the same time, he suddenly discovered that he fell in love with God.
After thinking for a few seconds, Atobe Keigo was very satisfied with his vision.
As expected of him. The object of my liking is also so extraordinary.
Snapping his fingers, Atobe Keigo turned around, silently reciting her name in his heart.
SENA---This is the name he gave her.
When he returns to Japan, he will...
"Atobe Keigo---did you do it on purpose!!!"
Outside the balcony door that had not been closed, the girl's voice rose from high to low.
He walked back to the balcony, and the person he missed was hanging in the air in a falling posture, with his rose garden beneath him.
A girl in a red kimono is like an elf in a falling rose --- if she doesn't speak.
She raised her head and cursed: "If I had known, I shouldn't have responded to you!"
He put his hands on the balcony railing and smiled: "Aren't you going to come?"
...
She looked away in annoyance, stepped on the empty steps to stand firmly on the ground of the rose garden, and asked critically: "Is this your home in England? Nothing more than that."
Atobe Keigo came downstairs from the study room on the second floor.
Seeing him getting closer and closer, she continued: "In the courtyard of my shrine, there are the most beautiful roses in the world."
The girl crossed her arms and raised her head proudly, trying to win back the situation: "If you beg me, I will take you there."
The man standing in front of her showed no reaction.
...
He quietly opened his eyes just a slit, and Atobe Keigo was still there.
He stretched out his hand to remove the leaves stuck to her long hair, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shrine? What kind of shrine?"
She extended her arms and gestured: "A super--large shrine."
The girl glanced at the castle behind him, and in order not to fall behind, she tried her best to brag: "My shrine contains hundreds of years of treasures, and those treasures are much rarer than the ones you have at home!"
There was a bit of curiosity on her face, but she couldn't take a closer look because of her face.
He is obviously a god, but he has no palace. You can see through it at a glance. If it weren't for some strange abilities, she wouldn't be much different from ordinary girls.
"Like castles?" he asked.
Without waiting for her answer, he continued: "Want a castle-style shrine?"
She was confused by this question: "Huh?"
"I will give it to you."
"?"
The blonde girl tilted her head in confusion: "I won't leave your house in a short time. You don't want to use this method to keep me protecting the Atobe family, do you?"
She is a god who wishes to fulfill human wishes. How could she only bless one family?
...Although she was really moved by Atobe's conditions.
He followed this topic and continued: "How can I make you stay?"
She spoke righteously: "I am a very ethical God. I will not do such things that violate professional ethics."
"Then," he seemed casual, but his eyes were firmly locked on her expression, "Is it okay for you to stay by my side and protect others?"
She lives in a shrine, so he will build a shrine for her.
Anyway, what he wanted to keep was not God's blessing.
But her.
After being successfully stunned, she raised her hand: "Wait a minute. What do you mean...?"
She was a little hesitant and unsure, looking up at him.
Atobe Keigo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm confessing."
*
When the limousine stopped, the inevitable inertia caused Zara Black to lean a little.
Atobe Keigo's shoulders sank. Turning his head, he was working hard on the documents, and the people around him were clearing their energy from playing mobile games. They were successfully hypnotized by the smooth and long journey, and were soundly sleepy.
The long pale golden hair fell from her cheeks, covering most of her face.
She had complained before that she didn't like the color of her hair and eyes. It is so similar to the famous war god Bishamonten.
She is obviously older than Bishamonten, but because she is not tall, she is always regarded as Bishamonten's younger sister.
When he gave her a new name, she complained as usual: "Bishamonten's name is Vena, and my name is SENA. Isn't this more like sisters?"
As a result, he is now using this name.
"Yoshizawa Seina." He stretched out his hand and pushed her, "It's time to get out of the car."
Yoshizawa Seina closed her eyes and smacked her lips.
Outside the car, at the entrance of the shrine, Hayden Lee was already waiting there.
Atobe Keigo leaned back. Her head lost support, and the sudden weightlessness made her wake up instantly.
"A-are you here?"
She yawned. Follow Atobe Keigo's gaze and look out the window.
"Did you see what he had on him?"
Atobe Keigo nodded silently.
Although there was a distance, he could clearly see --- Liu Rener, a black figure hanging behind him, as if he was being carried on his back.
"It's probably going to be more disgusting if you look closer." She opened the car door and teased, "You won't vomit it out later, will you?"
Atobe Keigo glanced at her lightly and walked quickly towards Hayden Lee.
Seeing him getting out of the car with Zara Black, Yanagi Renji frowned slightly: "Atobe, did you invite me here because of her?"
Zara Black stood behind Atobe, keeping a distance from them, with no intention of getting closer.
Atobe Keigo quickly glanced at the black figure behind him. As she said, it was indeed more terrifying when viewed up close.
Because it is resentment, it remains as it was before death. The body was burned until it was carbonized, broken and black. When Hayden Lee walked around, there were black shadows and ashes falling behind him.
He said without changing his expression: "Yes. There is also something about the spontaneous combustion case."
"She said you were investigating. I also have some clues here." He pointed to the shrine, "We'll talk after we go in."
Hayden Lee was a little skeptical of his words.
But he did want to know more details. After walking through the torii gate and following Nolan Knight's footsteps, he couldn't wait to speak: "This matter---"
There was a slight burning and hissing sound behind him, and it sounded like someone was sobbing softly.
Atobe Keigo turned around.
The black image on Liu Lian'er's back was lit with hair, from bottom to top, burned away bit by bit by nameless sparks.
Hayden Lee's original eager expression was replaced by confusion.
"I..."
He looked down at the notebook in his hand, suddenly confused.
Kato Ikki is a classmate who is an acquaintance in the same club as him. The relationship between the two people was not worth spending so much time tracking down the cause of death.
This even led to doubting the witness at the time, Zara Black.
In the notebook, under Zara Black's name, in addition to a question mark, there are a few scattered lines of reasoning and suspicion that are completely illogical.
He seemed possessed as he wrote these words.
When Liurenji regained consciousness, Atobe Keigo said as if nothing had happened: "Tell me about what you investigated."
Hayden Lee flipped through his notebook.
The notebook only partially recorded the advantages of Kato Ikki - at that time, he had a vague idea in his mind that "the dead are the most important". Therefore, Kato Ikki’s interpersonal conflicts were not recorded. Fortunately, he still remembered.
"Ikki Kato, third grade group D of the Senior High School Affiliated to Rikkai University. Member of the Tennis Club."
"I had a dispute with my friend not long ago and the two broke off their friendship." Hayden Lee added, "On the day of the crime, this friend had an alibi."
Atobe Keigo looked serious: "But the spontaneous combustion case can be planned in advance."
"That's right." Hayden Lee turned a page, "But he went back to Okinawa to visit relatives three days ago and has not been in school this week."
White phosphorus clung to Kato's hair. He washes his hair every day. Although water cannot dissolve white phosphorus, it can also weaken the burning effect.
Therefore, the police concluded that the time when he was exposed to white phosphorus was the day of the incident.
Atobe Keigo turned around and glanced at Yoshizawa Seina.
"Do you know who he came into contact with that day?"
Yoshizawa Seina said that in the two years she had been at Tatekai University, she had never encountered the level of time change that she had that day.
Then, the monster that bewitched the murderer should have come from outside.
Hayden Lee raised his head and said, "He is a member of the student council."
"We received... the officials of the Hyotei Student Union at noon."
