Zongman, daily life starting from hunting the supernatural

Page 8

Sakurai looked at Kirisu Mafuyu in front of him with lifeless eyes, who was wearing dark work clothes and a dark red skirt, and pursed his lips, and was a little speechless.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have come out.

Why waste time? Why not just go back and eat instant noodles?

"What's wrong, Sakurai-san?"

"He kept sighing."

The footsteps paused, and Kirisu Madoka turned around and raised her head slightly to meet Sakurai's eyes.

"No, there isn't."

"I was just wondering why Madoka-san came out so late."

After thinking about it for a while, Sakurai gave this answer.

“I want to go out for a walk sometimes.”

"Compared to this, this is something I should be the one to say. Sakurai, you should know your situation better than I do. Why are you still out so late?"

"Anyway, I'll take you back first."

Sakurai shook his head and rejected Kirisu Mafuyu's proposal.

"I care more about Madoka's safety than what I say. Madoka knows that I can escape even if I'm surrounded by ten people."

"So I'll take Sister Manfuyu back first."

Looking at Kirisu Mafuyu, Sakurai said this.

He was a little worried about today's situation. Maybe it was just an unfounded delusion, but it didn't matter. He was a little worried.

Kirisu Mafuyu's safety.

just in case...

On the way back, did Sister Manfuyu also encounter something supernatural?

Didn’t they say on TV that abnormalities attract abnormalities?

As the only person in this world who is connected to him, Kirisu Madoka might also attract abnormalities.

I didn’t care before, but now I don’t.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes the strange changes in reality and the fact that the little girl saw something supernatural for no reason.

When I thought of this possibility, I couldn't just sit back and watch.

After all, this is the sister Mando whom he respects the most.

"I understand. Let's go. My home is nearby."

"But on the other hand, you must go home obediently and call me as soon as you get home."

"And if you have any troubles in the future, please come to me."

"I'm not wrong to say I don't know what happened, but Sakurai-san, I'm the senior."

"At least I can give you some advice."

This was the first time that Kirisu Madoka saw persistence in Sakurai's eyes.

For the past month, he had been like a blank canvas, allowing her to [use] him unconditionally.

Let her write on it in any color she wants.

Does Sakurai, who is like this, have his own secrets?

With the joy of seeing the child grow up and the subtle unhappiness.

As their eyes met, it was finally Kirisu Madoka who was the first to retreat.

Kirisu Madoka chose to compromise. After a month of getting along with him, she already knew what kind of person this child was, and she was indeed unwilling to ignore his insistence.

As they walked on the road one after the other, Sakurai's eyes kept wandering to the shadows around them.

There was pitch-black air and ghosts of various shapes moving through the streets.

Too much...

The ratio is almost one to one or even higher than that of people on the street.

Ramen shops, sushi restaurants, department stores, and on the streets.

The ghosts imitated the actions of the living people around them, constantly whispering the words "Can you see me?"

Sakurai, who was two steps behind Kirisu Mafuyu, lowered his head slightly, avoiding direct eye contact with the spirit, his eyes full of solemnity and confusion.

The guy's phone was unreachable.

Sakurai kept swallowing his saliva while resisting the urge to have a great fight. With a cold look in his eyes, he always had the urge to make a big scene regardless of the consequences.

He couldn't understand...

When did the present world become another super-large supernatural spot?

It's really a bit too outrageous.

Sakurai, with his brows furrowed unconsciously, was always two steps behind Kirisu Mafuyu, and then unknowingly arrived at the end of the journey.

In front of the apartment with house number 201, Kirisu Mafuyu stopped and frowned slightly, looking at Sakurai who lowered his head so that he couldn't see his expression.

She keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Sakurai-san...

It's different from usual.

In the end what happened.

Could it be that Sakurai remembered something?

What should I do? Has it come to the point where I need to get to the bottom of this?

Do you want to interfere with students’ privacy?

"Sakurai-san, I told you that if anything happens, you must tell me."

After a brief silence, Kirisu Madoka finally made a decision.

Her eyes were full of sharpness and majesty, and she emphasized this sentence again seriously and firmly.

"Did Madoka-sama notice something was wrong because of my different approach from before?"

"I'm usually not the talkative type."

"As expected, Madoka-san is a very responsible Madoka-san."

"Even this level of abnormality was noticed."

Sakurai ruffled his hair once again and leaned against the wall, feeling a little helpless.

what to do...

Do you want to tell it all?

Or just find an excuse to deal with it.

Looking at Kirisu Mafuyu's expressionless face, Sakurai's face showed a look of distress for the first time.

Sure enough, hiding something is one thing, but he...

I don't want to deceive Kirisu Madoka.

Then tell the truth.

Anyway, I have no obligation to hide the other world.

And as for Sister Manfuyu, she is a natural in this regard so she shouldn't have too many problems.

I...

Maybe it's necessary to [confide] in an outsider.

Kirisu Mafuyu accepted all of Sakurai's complaints and quietly looked at Sakurai...

Waiting for Sakurai to continue.

"So, Mafuyu-san, are you sure you want to know?"

"What I'm going to say next may subvert your perception."

“Your worldview may become distorted because of this.”

Looking up, Sakurai looked at the flickering incandescent light above his head, as well as the ghost that was staring at him with half of its head through the ceiling, speaking very softly.

After making this decision, Sakurai didn't know how to feel.

but...

I always feel like a big stone has been lifted from my heart.

To be honest, he had been hesitant since his first encounter with the supernatural.

In the end, I thought I could keep it secret for as long as possible.

It’s no use now, he has no way out.

However, if she knew that her student was a monster, would Sister Manfuyu still take care of him as before?

Sakurai didn't know and didn't dare to think about it.

However, compared to this fear and the unknown, he is really more unwilling to hide it.

After a brief decision, he finally chose to tell everything.

After all, that was Kirisu Madoka, the one who had lost his memory and saved him from having nothing.

How could he not trust such a sister Manfuyu?
