I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

And before, she had clearly saved her young master, but the young master still locked her up.

Bad owner, if it weren't for the fact that you're still pretty good to me, who would care about all this nonsense?

At the same time,

Kodaira Akutagawa, who was in the darkness and had been about to make a move, only relaxed his stiff body when the figure in front of him disappeared into the darkness again. Completely disregarding his dignity as a ninja, he sat down on the ground with a cold sweat pouring down his backside.

That cat...that cat...

Just now, being stared at like that, he felt as if he were being stared at by some kind of evil demon, and every cell in his body was trembling instinctively, telling him the word "fear".

What exactly is that cat?

Why was he so docile, like a little lamb, in front of that girl?

Although I knew the task assigned to me by the cult leader wouldn't be easy, this was just too outrageous!

It was just a cat that made him lose the will to fight.

What if that girl becomes even more perverted—

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. Maybe... he should just get some lubrication?

New-era ninjas don't need to follow the rules of the old-timers, like committing seppuku if they fail to complete a mission. Times are changing and progressing, and old ways should be discarded.

Kodaira Akutagawa was making excuses for himself.

But then he thought that the cult leader was becoming increasingly deranged, and if he deserted and was caught, he would probably die a horrible death.

"Forget it, let's see if there's anything important in that room. We can just grab something to take back and settle things, and while we're at it, we can subtly explain our predicament to the sect leader!"

Thinking of this, the man looked at the house where the girls had come out earlier.

With a slight thought, he instantly appeared at the doorway of the house.

Looking at the unremarkable room in front of him, Kodaira Akutagiro reached out and pushed open the door. Behind the door was a large bed with men's clothing on it.

But what the man didn't notice was that the darkness around him had become slightly distorted after he entered the house;

"She's so young and already behaving badly. How old is she to be sleeping with a man?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding darkness immediately subsided.

Kodaira Akutagawa carefully searched the room, which contained only study materials and various household items, with very little information.

After a moment, he decided to go into the inner room.

Once inside, it was clearly the girl's room.

However, since they all live together, the fact that they even set up a separate room for girls is just like trying to hide something obvious.

He chuckled and then began searching.

The next moment, Kodaira Akutagawa noticed a box under the bed, which contained a lot of miscellaneous items.

Most importantly, there was a black notebook.

Chapter 151 The Strange Photographer

"notebook?"

Kodaira Akutagawa was still holding a videotape in his hand. He felt that the videotape and the notebook were two important things, so he carefully selected them as tokens of his affection.

This is to show that they have at least been here, rather than running away halfway.

Furthermore, the sect is currently short-staffed, so as long as I have a sufficient excuse, that person should not take action against me for the time being.

However, this temporary safety actually made him feel insecure.

If he hadn't been bound by evil spirits, Kodaira Akutagiro would have run away long ago.

"After this, I will have to find a way to get rid of this evil spirit that is haunting me and leave this sect."

Kodaira Akutagawa had a clear understanding of the current state of sectarianism. In this era, small organizations that opposed the government, which consisted of the majority of people, could only survive by hiding in the shadows.

Once such things are brought into the open, there is only one outcome: the organization will be destroyed.

He was a person who was very afraid of death, and it was precisely because of this fear that he was cautious in his actions and escaped many disasters.

"Thank you for your kindness, but neither of us likes having our pictures taken—"

If there is any connection, you can use the camera to find the ghost based on the association and seal it inside the camera.

But that guy is quite willing to spend money on Kayako!

Tomie felt a pang of jealousy, but outwardly she pretended to be nonchalant and nodded, "Mm."

Kodaira Akutagiro hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to put it back in its original place, trusting his intuition.

"The reason I waited for you here is because I thought you were very beautiful and wanted to take a picture of you."

As I was walking down the street, a man's figure suddenly appeared at the streetlight ahead.

Just now, with each inch he pulled that thing out, the darkness behind him drew closer.

"We don't want to take pictures."

Kayako glanced behind her every now and then.

Tomie Kawakami said loudly.

Photographer? Taking photos?

But perhaps this is also a form of concealment? However, this does fit the character's owner's setting, after all, she's a young girl.

A thought flashed through Kodaira Akutagiro's mind, and he continued to look at the notebook;

Kunihiko Aso turned on the light in front of the camera, revealing its enormous size in the shadows.

After all, who knows if the photographer might have any other malicious intent?

Speaking of this, Tomie thought of Yamamura Mako from school; Mako seemed to really enjoy taking pictures.

He glanced at the pile of junk, which contained masks, candy wrappers, mineral water bottles, toilet paper, a ripped shirt, and other odds and ends, though he didn't know why the strange notebook was among the trash.

The darkness that had been twisting behind him slowly retreated.

But in her heart, she was thinking about how Yoshizaki had broken up with her before, using the excuse that "marriage would be too expensive and inconvenient for work."

They are unwilling to take even the slightest risk.

Kodaira Akutagawa tucked the videotape into his pocket, glanced around the room, and then quietly left.

The notebook looked plain and unadorned, even dirty and messy, with the edges of the pages slightly curled up. It looked like something that would be discarded if dropped on the ground.

Kodaira Akutagiro put everything back in its original place without missing a thing, but what he didn't notice was that after he put it back in its original place...

Haha, this guy completely underestimates himself!

Kunihiko Aso sighed helplessly. He had originally wanted to use the photos to see if the two girls in front of him were connected to that vengeful ghost.

The man stood there, his gaze seemingly fixed on her; at the same time, Tomie felt a jolt of surprise.

She shielded Kayako behind her and said, "Let's go around!"

He quickly raised his camera: "Um, I'm just a folk photographer, not a bad person."

……

The two were about to take a detour, but just then, the man seemed to sense their hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the man seemed somewhat disappointed, but still forced himself to say, "You can actually trust my photography skills completely. After all, I've traveled to several countries before, and my photography abilities are quite impressive."

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air as he hesitated.

If Mako were here, with her naive nature, she would probably have been fooled long ago, right?

Do you want to deceive yourself?

In this world made up of people, no matter how powerful an individual may be, they can never compare to the power of the collective.

When he put it back, the darkness naturally returned to its original position.

"Tomie, this is the alarm backpack that the teacher bought for me. You can call the police by pressing the button. Let's go to the police station later."

But since his good intentions were rejected, and it would seem impolite to keep asking, he could only sigh helplessly and say, "Okay, then I'm sorry to have bothered you."

Tomie and Kayako exchanged a glance, but their vigilance remained.

But for some reason, just looking at it made Kodaira Akutagiro's eyelids twitch slightly, and he felt a little scared, as if someone was warning him not to touch it.

Kayako followed Tomie timidly. The streets were quiet, the wind was biting, and the shadows of the trees under the streetlights looked like menacing monsters.

Kayako tugged at Tomie Kawakami's sleeve, and Tomie turned around and glanced at her.

Perhaps because she was holding Xiao Hei, she no longer felt like she was being followed behind, and after a moment, she felt a little more at ease.

"It's alright, but sir, how much did this camera cost?"

Tomie continued walking home with Kayako, getting closer to Kunihiko Aso. When she got closer and saw the small camera, she asked curiously.

—Tomie had previously heard Mako say that her wish was to have her own camera.

That way, many beautiful things can be left in this world.
