The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

The famous Halloween is naturally worthy of Gengami Island to hold a celebration for it, and its name is the Haroboin Festival.

This festival is held on Genkami Island in the last week of October every year and is also the largest festival held on this artificial island in a year.

During this week, there will be a variety of activities such as fireworks displays, outdoor concerts, and costume parades. During this period, this artificial island with a total area of ​​about 180 square kilometers and a total population of about 560,000 will welcome more than 120,000 tourists. Considering the distance from mainland Japan, it can be said that the enthusiasm of tourists is quite amazing.

But there are a few small problems here.

First of all, during the Harobo-in Festival, all companies on this island, which is administratively divided into Genshin City in Tokyo, will be forced to close for the holiday. Although in reality, whether to close the holiday depends on the conscience of the boss, and the overtime pay during this period is required to be very high, so there are still many companies that operate.

but--

Because Kayaka was away on paid leave, without the general commander, their research and development progress slowed down a lot. Yang Weiwu went to get off work at the company at nine o'clock every day and got off work at five o'clock. He only had one hour of actual working time in between, and the rest of the time he stayed in the rest area and was a parasite.

Although it was not Yang Weiwu's original intention to work hard so that his boss could buy him a sports car, as the saying goes, you get paid for your work, and this behavior made Yang Weiwu's conscience ache. Although he felt that he would grow hair if he continued like this, Yang Weiwu still hoped to do some work for virtual game reality - it was definitely not because he wanted to learn programming to help his colleagues who stayed up late and worked overtime every day, but because he was extremely lacking in relevant talents, he felt a little guilty.

Secondly, as a special zone for the demons, Genshin Island does not accept visitors other than those related to companies, research institutions, and their families most of the time. Apart from ordinary tourists and reporters, many people actually come here to take this opportunity to discuss business with companies in the special zone of the demons in a legitimate manner.

The biggest impact of this incident on Yang Weiwu was that he didn't want to go out at all.

The hustle and bustle belongs to others, Yang Weiwu doesn't like crowds, fireworks can be watched at any time, but he will never attend any foreign festival that is specifically for making money.

Although he participated in it once last year out of interest, Chu Zhizhen used a "trick or treat" with the Shadow Spear, which caused Yang Weiwu to lose interest and directly put this broken celebration on the blacklist.

Finally, as a celebration based on Halloween, the Harokuin Festival has major problems.

Let me first mention something off topic.

Although it is a different world, there are many festivals and legends outside this world that are similar to Yang Weiwu's original world. Halloween is one of them.

Different from the fact that there are many different opinions about the origin of Halloween in the original world, Halloween in this world was originally for exorcism. It is said that in the ancient Celtic belief, at the beginning of winter, the passage between the world and the spirit world will open, and elves and witches will pour in. In order to protect themselves from monsters, people will wear masks and light bonfires.

By the way, the peak of the carnival on ordinary days is called Halloween Eve. Unlike Halloween, a sacred festival used for mass and praise of autumn, Halloween Eve is just a day for various activities to meet commercial needs.

What's worse is that the Halloween here, which is used as a model, is the last day of the festival in Bolongyuan. Before that, the passage to the spirit world that was at best a legend in Yang Weiwu's world could have existed (and existed for several days).

Kayaba alone had mentioned to him that during this period it was possible to meet visitors from other timelines or even uninvited demons from another world. Yang Weiwu, who usually had to fight himself and deal with mutants at the same time, was not interested in this even if he occasionally appeared and was about to grow hair.

The main reason is that the huge source of magic power will greatly increase the probability of this phenomenon. When Yang Weiwu was visiting the Bolongyuan Festival with Aurora, the True Ancestor, he even encountered an experience of fighting sixty-six evil ginseng beasts at the same time.

It's not a question of whether he could defeat the beast or not, but the secret skill of the evil ginseng beast is to spit out highly corrosive green mucus. With this number of beasts, Yang Weiwu couldn't dodge its sneak attack. In the end, he obviously won easily, but with his miserable state of having only a few clothes intact, it's hard to say that he won.

In view of this, facing Shanze's future invitation to the Bolongyuan Festival, Yang Weiwu's choice is self-evident -

"No, and get off my bed."

Before she could get a reply, Sugizawa Mirai was kicked off the bed by the man who just woke up in his pajamas. She stood up naturally and said with a slight frown: "Why did you kick me off before I could say anything? I haven't even put on a skirt yet."

Yang Weiwu threw the skirt that the other person had stuffed into his quilt at some point at his face, picked up the Four Virtues Brick and weighed it in his hand, showing signs of winning people over with virtue and communicating in a friendly manner.

“Hi Hi——”

Sugisawa Mirai put on her skirt in front of Yang Weiwu without any intention of hiding it - to be more precise, she even lifted up her shirt so that he could see her smooth and cute belly button, and then she walked out the door with a pair of small feet wearing his slippers.

Just when Yang Weiwu was considering whether to throw the woman out of the window directly or ask the Emperor of Light War Dragon to get him another pair of slippers, the door was opened.

A golden-haired cat poked its little head in and looked at Yang Weiwu cautiously.

"Weiwu, um... this year's Haroboin Festival is coming, and Nagisa and I have agreed to attend it together."

"Um, so?"

"Well... she said her brother would accompany her. I'm not very familiar with her brother, so... if you don't have any appointments with friends, can you..."

Seeing this girl, who might have become more outgoing because of making friends with social phobics, lowering her voice because of inviting him, Yang Weiwu sighed in his heart but maintained a calm expression when answering her.

"I won't be attending the first two days, but I'll be available for the rest of the time except for the fireworks display. Can I spend the rest of the time with you?"

"Yes! I'll go talk to Nagisa right away."

After getting the answer she expected, Aurora happily closed the door.

【084】Each failed invitation

"stare--"

Sugisawa Mirai stared at Yang Weiwu.

"You really dote on her! You clearly never see her as a member of the opposite sex..."

"Anyone who is only a kindergartener in terms of mental age and who relies on courage to look like a junior high school student and has such thoughts should just die."

"So you're the kind of person who cares so much about mental age - that's a bit surprising. Then why aren't you interested in me?"

Sugisawa Mirai asked curiously.

No matter how you look at it, she is a petite, cute, young and beautiful girl, and she occasionally uses magic to enhance her charm. Logically speaking, most ordinary people have no resistance to her type, but Yang Weiwu has never shown any interest in her.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she thinks Yang Weiwu is an ordinary person, but she has actually confirmed that Yang Weiwu's resistance to magic is much lower than that of ordinary people.

If a normal person's resistance to charm magic is 10, then Yang Weiwu's is only 1 at best.

And every time Sugisawa Mirai showed suggestive charm to Yang Weiwu, it was actually successful. In other words, in his eyes, her charm should have greatly increased, at least by 50%, but Yang Weiwu was always extremely cold to her.

So she wondered if it was possible that this man was the type who would keep his love deep in his heart. Just like he seemed quite cold towards Aurora, but as far as Sugizawa Mirai knew, Yang Weiwu had basically never refused any request made by Aurora.

Regarding someone's excessive self-confidence, Yang Weiwu's answer is -

"Besides being white-haired, what qualities do you have that match my XP?"

In fact, there are quite a lot of them. At least Yang Weiwu is a leg control, and Sugisawa Mirai also has good legs. It's just that the other party looks like a beautiful junior high school girl, but psychologically she treats him as an old woman who is too old for his wife, grandmother, and her race is also non-human.

If it were placed in the two-dimensional world, even a villain character, Yang Weiwu, could nonchalantly call Sugizawa Mirai his wife.

Unfortunately, for Yang Weiwu, this is a three-dimensional character.

Then each of the above points is a poison point.

However, he was too lazy to discuss too much with the other party. After all, it is easy for people to have some mental problems when they are old, and the values ​​of non-humans are also different from those of humans. From the very beginning, he negotiated with Sugizawa Mirai from the perspective of a monster - that is, his favorability was negative from the beginning.

Ignoring Sugisawa Mirai who seemed to be in deep thought, Yang Weiwu threw the man out and started to change his clothes.

Today is another day to occupy the snack area at the company.

……

After the game started, time seemed to pass very quickly. Before Yang Weiwu could feel anything, the Bolongyuan Festival arrived.

"Ala, are you planning to work overtime during the holidays?"

Mi Jiexi looked like she had just finished work. She stretched lazily, and her beautiful curves stretched out in front of Yang Weiwu.

Yang Weiwu looked at the other person who looked like he had just finished work, then looked at the game controller in his hand, wondering how his current state was related to the word overtime.

"Why, have you been collecting materials for too long and are you in a trance?"

From what Mi Jiexi said, she seemed to think that Yang Weiwu was collecting materials for work.

Too bad he was just playing Super Mario.

"What about this game that has never been seen on the market? Is it the work of a small studio?"

Mi Jiexi leaned over and came closer, a few strands of glass-colored hair fell on Yang Weiwu's shoulders, and the faint smell of shampoo lingered at Yang Weiwu's nose.

Yang Weiwu: “…”

After thinking for a while, he handed the handle to the other party.

"I'm almost ready to go back. I've almost finished the game, so I'll give you a copy. Do you want to try it?"

"Eh?! But I don't have any good equipment at home, how about I try it here? Can you teach me?"

"Sure, just do something good."

"Get it from the bag yourself."

The branded women's bag was thrown into Yang Weiwu's hands, and Mi Jiexi naturally took the handle and started operating it.

Yang Weiwu opened the bag while instructing the other party on basic operations.

"..."

Leaving aside the Turando Summoner and Coolev Summoner containing the keys, he took out the other party's erotic sketches.

"Speaking of which, does Mi Jiexi have any plans for the festival at Bolongyuan before you?"

"Is this an invitation for a date?"

"It's a friend's curiosity."

"Stay home and come out on the last day of the fireworks display."

“It will grow hair.”

"Will you come and stay with me?"

"I'm going out."

"it's a pity."

What are you regretting?

Yang Weiwu moved his lips but still didn't say the words.

"But it's actually good to be like you. At least you won't encounter some weird troubles."

"It sounds like the sentiment of a person who is prone to accidents."

"I'm not prone to accidents, although I may be unlucky sometimes."

"Hey, hey~~ Mr. Yang Weiwu, who has bad luck, I recommend you go to a fortune-telling house that opens at a fixed time and location during the annual Harokuin Festival. The fortune-telling there is very effective. - Although it is mainly about love fortune-telling (whispering)"

Yang Weiwu: “…”

"You have learned the basic operations, so I will go back first."

Yang Weiwu stood up and said goodbye.

"Well, happy holidays~"

"Happy holidays to you too."

……

Xiao Gucheng is an ordinary boy with a lovely sister.

This morning, he had a rare conflict with his sister, Nagisa Akatsuki.

"No, whatever I said today, you have to go to MAR for another checkup. He suddenly fell into a coma a few days ago!"

"How could that happen?! I made an appointment with Aurora-chan a few days ago to go to the festival together today. How can I give up just because I was unconscious for an hour three days ago?"

"Mom said that your spiritual power as a miko has mysteriously disappeared! This phenomenon is obviously abnormal, right? You should listen to me and go get it checked again."

"Really, Brother Gu Cheng, this is the only thing that bothers you. Didn't the physical examination show that there is nothing wrong with you? You don't care about the witch's ability anyway, so why are you so persistent about this?"

Why? Akatsuki Kojou didn't know. He just felt intuitively that if his sister Nagisa continued to have contact with the child named Aurora, something bad would happen. As a person who had no pursuits other than basketball and whose parents were terrible in every sense, the only person he cared about the most was his sister.

He hoped that nothing would happen to his sister, so he didn't want to take any risks, even if some things seemed meaningless.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ah, it should be Aurora-chan here!"

Nagisa walked quickly to the door and opened it. Kojou had no time to stop him. He could only mutter "I don't care" and decided to obey Nagisa's willfulness with the intention of following him all the way to prevent him.

Black fog spread from the doorway and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

"Nagisa!"

Gu Cheng, who cried out in surprise, soon lost consciousness as he was enveloped by the black fog.

Before he fell into coma, he vaguely saw a familiar figure.

【085】Old Dreams

Probably, it happened when I was in the third grade of elementary school.

At that time, Yang Weiwu's name was still Yang Pojun. He followed his grandfather's advice and did not pursue being loved by everyone. He just wanted to have one or two close friends.

The friendship in childhood is simple and pure. Of course, because most people’s values ​​are not very mature yet, it is quite difficult for Yang Weiwu, who considers himself precocious, to find a soul mate.

But he was lucky enough to find it in the end.
