I'm a weird expert in Japan

"A miracle?" Lian pursed his lips.

"Yes. I happened to see a violinist who was transformed into a bat after taking a bath, and then the bat guided me to see a vampire accompanied by a policeman. Now the bat and the vampire are going to help me solve the anomaly together... If this is the so-called miracle, then what price should I pay?"

"What kind of price do you want?" Lian gave up complaining and asked with interest.

"If all I have to do is give up my virginity to be satisfied, that would be great."

"That's too bad!" Lian burst out again, "You are not just an idiot, an idiot with good academic performance but no idea of ​​his own value."

"How rude! Aren't you afraid of causing me psychological trauma?"

"Compared to the violent words you have hurled at me so far, my words are warm and heartwarming."

"The kind that's on fire?" Shiyu picked up the blue coat and put it on.

“That’s natural gas!”

“Oil is fine, too.”

"I didn't discuss the classification of combustibles with you!"

"Today is Wednesday, a day when garbage can still be burned." Shiyu walked out.

"Don't look at me when you say that..."

She changed into a white dress and put on a light blue coat to keep warm.

"I didn't peek from beginning to end. It was obviously a good opportunity."

"How do you know? What if I saw it?"

"impossible."

"You trust me so much?"

Shiyu looked away, "Because there is no passion in Shijo-kun's eyes."

"Maybe you're just not my type. After all, I prefer the type of Mr. Hanekawa."

"Are you mocking me for not being intellectually mature enough?"

"Compared to Mr. Hanekawa, the gap between you and him is as big as the gap between Danix and Alice."

"Let me correct you. Your violent words are not heartwarming."

"cut--"

“By the way—”

"what?"

"Why are you driving to school? Shijo-kun is still a student, right?"

While saying this, Kasumigaoka Utaha was sitting in the passenger seat of Shijo Ren's car, driving through the empty streets late at night.

Of course, spaciousness is only relative to daytime.

The city of Tokyo never becomes completely quiet.

Lian sometimes couldn't help but imagine that in order for a city like this, which was one of the best in the world, to become completely deserted at night, only a monster would have to descend, right?

"If that's the case, aren't you also a student?" Lian retorted nonchalantly, "No one has ever stipulated that students can't drive, right?"

"I mean the question of whether it is legal or not." Shiyu tilted her chair slightly so that her sitting posture made her look like she was taking a nap.

"Don't worry, the driver's license is legal." Lian grinned.

"Why then?"

"what why?"

"I drive myself to school."

"Because I have a poor sense of direction." Lian answered truthfully.

He felt that everyone in this world had things they were good at and things they were not good at, so just as people with poor hearing were bound to exist, there was nothing shameful about him being a person with poor sense of direction.

This does not reduce the value of the four ripples.

"Haa..." Shiyu didn't react.

"I'm not good at remembering routes, so it would be easier to have a GPS when driving," Lian continued.

"After all, you have lived in this city for more than ten years, right?"

"I'm not." Lian said innocently, "I've been traveling around since I was ten years old. Up to now, more than 70% of my time has been spent in other places. There are a lot of things like performances, interviews, and promotions."

Lian, who was not good at finding her way around, soon forgot all the roads in Tokyo.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Then please be patient for a moment." Lian said in a gentle tone, "Wait until you've finished your work before eating, otherwise your bath will be in vain, and you might even vomit."

He said, pointing to the back seat.

There was a bag there, and from the packaging it was clear that it was McDonald's takeout.

"I'm not that hungry anyway." Shiyu closed her eyes.

In short, because she was not in a hurry, after leaving Kasumigaoka's house, Lian almost kept to the time and drove to the construction site that she had just visited yesterday.

——It’s definitely not because the GPS cannot accurately locate this place that he took a lot of detours, resulting in a long detour and having to rely on Kasumigaoka Utaha to show him the way.

Lian argued in his heart.

The gate was open to allow the car to pass through.

Lian drove straight in and stopped at the entrance of the building.

I was expecting to see whether Inspector Araragi Koyomi has arrived, but I saw that Senjougahara Kurogi is already there.

It seems like I have been waiting for a long time.

"Uh……"

Lian didn't have any complaints against Ms. Senjougahara. On the contrary, it could be said that he always had considerable respect for older people.

Except for a certain late-life blond loli BBA who likes to rip people off.

If you want donuts, ask your owner to buy them!

But how to say it...Kurogi Senjougahara's outfit is just too subtle.

The whole body is wrapped in a dark blue kimono, which is suitable for participating in sacrificial ceremonies.

Of course, if that were all, it would be fine.

For example, for a sense of ceremony.

The problem now is that the substance of this outfit is not serious at all...

“Why is it Tamamonomae… and the three-parted shape…” Lian covered her face with her hands, as if she was about to burst into tears.

Although there is no wig or fake ears, you can tell that the level of completion is very high just by looking at the clothes.

"Because I needed a sense of ritual, I tried it." Senjougahara said calmly, "This is something I got a while ago. It's a little hobby of some kind."

"you……"

"I forgot to mention that the voice actor who voiced me is very good."

"Voice actor! Is this world fictional?!"

"It's really noisy. It's always been like this. Just liven up the atmosphere, young man."

"Speaking of the former police officer—" Lian asked.

"Didn't I tell you that he has something to do?" Senjougahara stood at the end of the room. "Or do you have an Oedipus complex? Koyomi is not strong enough to be the father of an 18-year-old boy yet."

“…Hey, hey…”

"Two hours ago, his father came to see him about something, and the men, along with his father, went to a three-party meeting," added Senjougahara.

"That's quite amazing..." Lian's mouth twitched.

I guess this happened because of the planned wedding date.

At this time, Senjougahara looked at Shiyu who was so shocked that she couldn't recover, and asked in a serious manner: "Have you taken a shower? You are not wearing any makeup?"

“I’m the type who doesn’t wear makeup.”

"So confident, but it's very suitable. What about the young man, have you taken a bath too?"

"Let's do this for now."

"Then let's get started quickly. I've already had the venue prepared."

After saying this, Senjougahara walked into the building with a pair of wooden clogs that were at least seven or eight centimeters thick, and then took the temporary elevator to go upstairs in a very un-miko-like manner.

Lian and Shiyu had no choice but to take the stairs to the fourth floor.

"But... you're not an expert on weird things, right? Shinobu... isn't your sister here?"

"Miss Shinobu stays in the dark and only shows up when necessary." Senjougahara stood at the door of the room lit by candlelight. "And this time, I am just presiding over the ceremony. I am not the one who actually handles the problem."

"Does that mean that Kasumigaoka can solve it herself?" Lian glanced at Shiyu, "After all, I said that I would let her save herself."

"You actually let a young girl face irresponsible gods alone. There should be a limit to your cold-bloodedness, young man."

"Well... I'll help out when necessary..." Lian scratched his head reluctantly.

"By the way, Li asked me to tell you something."

"Ok?"

“Learn to deal with the problems around you on your own.”

"What kind of daddy tone is that? Are you still going to teach me 'you need magic to defeat magic'?"

"That's not what I said." Senjougahara smiled elegantly.

It was as if she had really turned into a fox shrine maiden from the Heian period... Tamamonomae?

Why don't you wear a wig too?

Lian complained in his heart, and he felt his brain trembling.

"By the way, there's something I didn't explain to you clearly." Senjougahara pretended to recall, "'Hat Crab' is indeed a god, but he is an irresponsible god who only cares about his own convenience. There's no need to be polite. That's what Miss Shinobu said."

"That……"

"Be prepared for battle. Once a battle breaks out, I won't be able to intervene." Senjougahara warned Lian seriously.

"Is it inevitable?"

"Humans' prayers cannot be conveyed to such gods. Especially for those special individuals who survive without relying on faith."

Hearing this, Lian couldn't help but have doubts.

After all, it's unheard of.

"How can we make that kind of god descend here?"

Chapter 23 Chapter 2: Ms. Senjougahara’s Mysterious Acts ()

"Descend? It's to induce it to appear here." Senjougahara responded quietly, "That's why we specially arranged for people to prepare these things. After all, it's even farther to go to a suitable shrine."

In the room surrounded by the barrier rope, there was an altar with offerings placed on it, and lights were set up in the four corners.

It was crude but complete, enough for an ordinary séance.

"Ah...I understand." Lian grabbed her hair and agreed.

The current situation came about because he couldn't ignore the strange phenomena.

Moreover, you cannot provoke the "Feather Crab" simply by having a weak will; it also requires a little bit of bad luck and coincidence.
