I'm a weird expert in Japan

If it's too abrupt, Shiyu might even think that Lian is looking for trouble with her, or is trying to strike up a conversation with her because of something that happened before.

“……”Shiyu chose to remain silent.

So Lian decided to change his approach.

If "reasoning" doesn't work, let's use "story" instead. After all, there is no "season" to use now.

Anyway, "sophistry" is definitely out.

"Would you like to hear me tell a story? It's not a long story. If you don't find it interesting after I finish, I can leave."

"What story? Forget about your love story." The writer's true nature seemed to be revealed.

"It's a story about 'weirdness'." Lian said.

He had heard about their past from Araragi Koyomi, Oshino Shinobu, and even Hanekawa Tsubasa.

As relevant "knowledge".

"About five or six years ago, a girl encountered a 'crab' during the spring break between junior high and high school." Lian pinched her hair and thought about which story to choose. Then she thought of Senjougahara Kuroni who drove to pick up the deputy police officer last night, so she concealed his name and started to tell the story. "Of course, it was not an ordinary crab, but a 'weird' one, or a god who was regarded as a weird one."

He paused here, raised his head, and noticed that Shiyu was quite interested. From this angle, Lian could see her white patterned underwear under her black stockings, but she didn't notice it. He just asked:

"and then?"

"Then?" Lian thought for a moment. "From that day on, the girl's personality began to change drastically. She became taciturn and indifferent to others. She didn't attend physical education classes, school activities, or communicate with any students. Even when asked questions by the teacher in class, she would just answer with 'I don't know'."

"Why? That girl...why is she like this?" Shiyu was very concerned about the reason.

"Of course it's because her weight was taken away." Lian continued, "The girl originally had a very standard weight, but the 'weirdness' took away 90% of her weight, and she actually weighed only five kilograms, just like a newborn baby."

Shiyu narrowed her eyes. "If an ordinary female high school student loses weight to less than 30 kilograms, she will no longer be in human form. If she only has 5 kilograms left, wouldn't that mean she's dead? Are you kidding me, Shijo-kun?"

"No, the weight did disappear, but her body shape did not change," Lian said. "The only difference is that it became more difficult for her to move. Her clothes felt heavy, and a slight slip could turn into a major accident. She could not carry a school bag to and from school, and only put the necessary stationery in her pockets."

"Was all this caused by that crab?"

"Well, to be precise, that crab should be called a 'heavy crab' because it took away the girl's weight."

Shiyu was silent for a long time, the breeze blowing past in gusts, "So what happened in the end? How did that girl become?"

"Of course she successfully regained her weight." Lian said briefly, "The 'weirdness' took advantage of the gap in her mind and entered. When she tried to face the gap in her heart, she naturally solved the problem."

"Why are you telling me this story?"

"I just told a story I heard," Lian said. "Because it is true, I have omitted most of the characters and even the names of the parties involved."

When he said this, he stood up from the wall, raised his head and looked directly into Shiyu's wine-red eyes.

"'Weirdness' has many different effects on people, and no one can tell exactly which one it is. If you really—"

Lian was about to direct the topic to Shiyu and remind her about the "weird" problem.

The slightly old fire escape made a strange noise.

"Huh?" Shiyu was stunned.

"Ah..." Lian was also stunned.

The screws on top suddenly broke off, and Shiyu fell backwards, along with the iron ladder.

"Danger!"

He was close enough to reach out in time to catch Kasumigaoka Utaha who was falling backwards.

The whole person half-knelt on the ground to cushion the impact due to inertia.

After the tinkling sound lasted for a while, Shiyu opened her eyes tremblingly and found herself lying in Lian's arms, and he was looking at her.

"Um..." She was about to speak.

"Why are you so heavy?" Lian blurted out.

Shiyu, enraged and humiliated, punched Lian in the face.

Section 16 Chapter 1 Can this broken road be opened? ()

Si Tiao Lian rarely cares about other people's height and weight, whether they are men or women.

Unless the other person walks in front of him, he will judge his height accordingly.

As for weight, it is difficult to consider.

But one thing is certain, that is, Si Tiao Lian knows that his arm strength is quite good and he can carry and lift things.

Boys and girls of the same age can hug her.

In March, when he attended Eriri's birthday party as a guest at Sawamura Spencer's house and served as a musician, he also collaborated with Dianthus to climb a tree in Eriri's backyard.

With one hand, he pulled the carnation weighing over 60 kilograms onto the branch.

Of course, if you use your hands as a support point to let someone go up, there is no problem at all.

In other words, after Lian catches a person, he doesn't immediately think about the other person's weight.

For example, the Chinese dianthus only weighs 61 kilograms, and the English pear only weighs 42 kilograms.

Given their respective heights, their weight is standard.

By the way, Shijo Lian is currently 178cm tall and weighs just 65kg, which is still a pretty standard weight.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, he estimated that she was slightly shorter than him, at 168cm, and her weight should be under the standard 54kg.

however……

When he caught Kasumigaoka Utaha, due to the unexpected weight of the other party, he failed to exert force with his arms in time and had to half-kneel down before he could stabilize himself.

Because the other person's weight was beyond expectations, it felt like an exaggeration of twice the expected number.

Shijo Lian covered her nose with her hand and looked up and down at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was walking beside her.

The beautiful and slightly plump figure is definitely the type that the opposite sex dreams of.

No matter how you think about it, if her weight was over 100KG, she would have become fat and deformed and it would have been impossible for her to maintain the curve of her waist.

If this is the case—

"Your gaze that is trying to lick my whole body like a tentacle, do you want to get punched in the nose again?" Shiyu said, hugging her body and frowning.

Lian retracted her gaze and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't mean that..."

He held his nose with his hand and continued walking forward.

Five minutes ago, Lian and Kasumigaoka Utaha left the rooftop, left the teaching building, walked out of the school gate, and were heading in a certain direction together.

After being punched in the nose by Shiyu for saying something inappropriate.

He just said "Follow me" and Shiyu followed him.

Lian felt that the other party was unexpectedly courageous.

Shiyu was silent for a while, then took out a handkerchief from the hidden pocket of her skirt, "...Here...if there's bleeding, stop it."

"No need." Lian said and let go.

No blood came out.

"That's pretty violent. I understand why you keep to yourself."

"It's because Shijo-san doesn't know how to talk to girls. He can say to a girl without any reservation, 'You're so heavy!' I'm beginning to believe that you are really single." Shiyu glanced at Lian and responded with a smile.

"Well... I was indeed rude." Lian sniffed, "After all, no matter how hard you think about it, your weight shouldn't exceed 55KG."

"Although I'm reluctant, it's true." Shiyu seemed to mind a little.

According to the data from her most recent school physical examination, her weight is 52KG. Since the doctor said it was normal, Shiyu didn't pay much attention to it.

however……

"You don't have to think about it." Lian continued.

"Where are you looking?"

"Sorry, this is because of the first law of gravity." Lian looked away, "From now on I won't look at you anymore."

"I didn't expect Bat-kun's nature to be so superficial. I expected too much." Shiyu sighed, "It's almost below Daphnia."

"Did I just get reduced to something?" Lian continued to protest.

"No, you heard it right." Shiyu coughed.

"You cleared your throat to change your words, right? You were just confirming it, okay?"

"Oh, that's rude." Shiyu covered her mouth, as if apologizing for her slip of the tongue.

Even though there wasn't even a hint of apology in his expression.

“…” Lian was speechless.

The reason is unclear, but Kasumigaoka Utaha's coldness in the morning was just a disguise.

This person's mouth is really poisonous.

I just don't know who is stronger, compared to Ms. Kurogami Senjougahara when she was possessed by a monster?

Thinking of this, Lian turned his head as if he suddenly realized something.

He almost forgot why he left school with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The ladder on the rooftop is broken, and I have already sent an email to ask Shizhu Amen to fix it - I will compensate him later.

Noticing his gaze, Shiyu began to describe the current situation.

"It was probably... in early February, two months ago." She seemed to recall something terrible. "Before winter was over, I suddenly became like this one day."

"Two months ago?" Lian was surprised.

He thought it would be earlier or something like that.

"Yes, two months ago." Shiyu lowered her eyes. "It's incredible, but since you gave a similar example, you must be able to understand that I'm not talking nonsense."

"You met 'a crab'?"

"That's right. I thought I was just seeing things at the time, but it wasn't until I went home and took a shower the next night that I realized what the problem was."

"It's so late... didn't you feel something was wrong before?"

Shiyu lowered her eyes, "When I woke up in the morning, I felt my body was particularly heavy..."

"Uh……"

"I'm not an outdoor guy and my athletic ability is very poor." Shiyu was very frank.

She is a literary girl, not a fitness girl, and she doesn't have muscles that can kill a bull with one punch.

Waking up feeling heavy in the morning will only be seen as a consistent symptom.

"The fact is that you have gained weight that does not belong to you."

"Hmm... I don't understand. I haven't gained any weight, but I've gained weight. Other than that, I don't feel any discomfort." Shiyu's expression was extremely gloomy. "At first, I tried to lose weight by dieting, but no matter what I did, my weight didn't change... I gave up soon."

Looking back, the past two months can be said to have been a life of confusion.

No one could explain why, no one could help her.

The increase in weight and the unchanged body shape are beyond the scope of explanation of existing science.

"Didn't you consult with anyone?"

"Do you think there is anyone I can talk to?" Shiyu narrowed her eyes.

Lian immediately realized that he had asked the wrong question. He raised his hand to signal Shiyu to calm down. "I'm glad you could tell me that."

"For someone who was turned into a bat and then turned back again, and can still talk about similar situations..." There was a flash of fragility on Shiyu's face.

It was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

Lian knows that although two months is a very short period of time compared to previous examples, it is already a long ordeal for the person involved.
