I'm a weird expert in Japan

"How about I take you to the bathhouse? I know which bathhouse is still open."

Lian packed up her picnic blanket and flashlight and headed out of the mountain gate.

"Let's go to your house. What about clothes and underwear?"

"If you don't mind, use something my mother hasn't worn yet."

"Then I won't be polite."

"When have you ever been polite?"

"I'm your assistant after all, you can't be so stingy with me."

"Aha?"

"But my performance just now should be acceptable as an assistant, right?"

"do not know."

"Then it seems to have passed."

"Please have some shame..."

Chapter 62: It's a pity to skip Chapter

"Oh, this is Lian's home?"

Later, the villa of Si Tiao Lian.

Shiyu walked barefoot in the living room.

When she entered the room, she found blood on her stockings. Worried about dirtying the floor, Shiyu reached under her skirt without thinking and took off her stockings.

Lian, who was bringing him slippers, saw what was under her skirt and was so scared that she fell to the ground.

"You think this is an amusement park. Go take a shower. There's still hot water."

Lian stretched out her finger and poked Shiyu on the back of her shoulder.

"Ah."

It was indeed uncomfortable after the blood dried up, so Shiyu didn't hesitate any longer and followed Lian to the bathroom.

"I'll get you a change of clothes."

"Oh, by the way, please bring me some clothes that can match the stockings." Shiyu asked, raising her finger.

"Will I die if I don't wear stockings for a while?" Lian slumped her shoulders.

"That's not the case, but it does feel a bit lonely with my legs bare." Shiyu smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you--"

"I want the kind that prevents snagging at the thighs." Shiyu added.

"I know."

"Wow, you knew that?"

"That's basic common sense, my friend."

Lian smiled handsomely, closed the door of the dressing room and walked away.

"What basic common sense..." Shiyu was also speechless.

But the other party probably couldn't hear her, so she quickly took off her bloody clothes and threw them into the basket.

It's been soaked to this extent, and I guess it can't be washed off.

In the closed room, the smell of blood could not be dissipated and lingered in the air of the dressing room, which dissuaded Shiyu from keeping the clothes.

The bathroom in Lian's house is quite spacious, and the bathtub is about the size of five or six of her bathtubs put together.

It took some time for the hot water to fill up, so Shiyu took this opportunity to wash her body first, then wrapped her hair with a bath towel and sat on the edge of the bathtub.

Letting the hot water slowly flow over her shoulders, Shiyu felt her body was about to float up, so she could only control herself a little and sit down.

The weight is too low, which causes the overall density of the person to decrease, and he is almost like a piece of wood.

After all, there is too much water in the bathtub, so you won’t feel any obvious buoyancy at home.

I don't know how long it took, but Lian's voice came from outside the door.

"Kasumigaoka, I put the change of clothes and stockings here."

"Thank you." Shiyu scooped up some water and poured it over her chest. "Lian, do you want to take a shower together?"

"No need. I'll drain the water and refill it after you're done."

"why?"

"Oh, yeah? If I have to say, I just don't want to use things that have been used by humans, especially things like bath water that have been used by others."

Shiyu looked up at the ceiling and said after a long silence: "...You said that on purpose, didn't you?"

"If you can tell, stop saying such boring things."

“Hehe…” Shiyu laughed.

He seemed to want to make himself disliked by her so that she would naturally stay away from him.

"Don't rush out. I'll drive you home later."

"Can't you stay overnight?"

"You're not going to school tomorrow?"

"Just ask for leave to go back and get your clothes. If you go back so late, your parents will get suspicious."

"Got it. I'll open the guest room for you and you can make the bed yourself... Never mind. I'll do it."

"Thanks for caring."

"If you had touched the shikigami directly last time, you could have made your own bed."

"That's right." Shiyu responded softly.

She stared at the sparkling water that reflected the lights, not knowing what to say to Lian.

"have they gone?"

"not yet--"

"You still want to take a shower together?"

"I'm afraid someone is going to cause me trouble again."

"Are you alone at home?"

"My parents are usually abroad. They came back once on the weekend and just got on a plane this afternoon."

"Aren't you lonely living alone?" Shiyu turned around and lay down on the edge of the bathtub. Through the frosted glass, she could vaguely see someone leaning against the wall of the dressing room.

"You've only been living alone for the past six months. We've always lived together before that." Lian didn't care.

If we go back five years, he might not be able to leave his parents, but he is already seventeen or eighteen years old, and living independently away from his parents is also a kind of training.

"That's it..."

Shiyu originally wanted to ask Lian about his parents, but when she thought about the fact that he was mixed-race, Shiyu immediately realized that one of his parents must be a vampire.

Inquiring in this way is tantamount to exploring deeper secrets than those of ordinary families.

"By the way, are you okay?"

"It's all right now. It's just that the sleeve of the clothes was lost, so the clothes were thrown away." Lian said nonchalantly, "You are really brave. You didn't think about running away at that time, but ran over here instead."

“Well…” Shiyu smiled to herself, “I don’t know why, maybe I’m confident enough in what I bought.”

She looked at her hands.

The other party was very conscientious and told her for the sake of money that the power of "Slug Tofu" was very limited, especially against a real snake cutting the rope, it was difficult to predict how effective it would be.

So Shiyu just...felt that she couldn’t run away at that time.

If she ran away, she would no longer have a reason to tell Lian that she wanted to follow him to defeat the monsters and get to know him better.

With just a little bit of childish selfishness, she went forward to meet him.

"You are just an amateur, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Yeah, I'm just an amateur, so if I die, don't I still have the option of accepting Lian's blood and becoming a vampire?"

"Is this the result?!"

Lian couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, if I hadn't followed Lian and knew that there were ways to come back to life even if I died, I wouldn't have had the courage."

"...What a smart guy..." Lian couldn't help but hold his forehead, and then finally realized a problem, "By the way, it seems like you have been calling my name since just now?"

"To be exact, I shouted it in the shrine."

"We're not that close yet." Lian snorted.

"Anyway, I won't change my words. You can pretend you didn't hear it, Lian."

"Tsk... whatever you like."

"I am really happy now. I have a bath as big as a bathhouse, and I can stay overnight in the villa. I am in a very good mood——"

As Shiyu spoke, she began to hum a song in a nasal voice.

"I really can't stand you--" Lian decided to end the conversation.

As soon as he stood up, the door was opened by Shiyu. Her wet hair was loose and the bath towel was held in front of her chest, subtly covering her key parts.

"You..."

"Just think of it as a service. You won't suffer any loss anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Lian's eyes swept over Shiyu's body, "Very beautiful body."

"you flatter me."

"So don't just show off treasures like this, it'll make them look cheap."

Lian said this coldly before turning around and disappearing out the door.

“…I’m not being casual.”

After a long while, Shiyu finally refuted softly, although Lian couldn't hear it.

Epilogue of Section 63 Two melodies (1)

"Wait a minute, you're taking this too slowly, and it's deviating quite a bit from the theme of the whole piece—"

Lian stretched out her hand and interrupted Touma and Sa's performance.

"Is there something wrong? I didn't play it wrong and the beat is all right?" Hesha's hands paused on the keys, frowned and asked Slitori who was leaning against the piano.

"It's not a question of playing it right or wrong." Lian turned the music score back to the beginning. "As you can see, this is a 6/8 beat song. If you play it slower, you can treat it as a very slow shuffle rhythm. But in exchange, it is necessary to use counterpoint to mix in other songs at twice the speed."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Hesha's eyebrows twitched.

"I'm telling the truth—" Lian said with an innocent look on her face.

It has been more than a week since the day when Setsuna Ogiso exterminated the rope-cutting snake. April will be over in the blink of an eye. In two days, it will be April 29th. From that day until May 7th, the nine-day Golden Week holiday will be here.

Lian, who hasn't encountered any other problems for the time being, goes to the second music room from time to time to watch Touma and Sa practice.

Although we have never played together formally so far, we cannot play together.

Before the award ceremony, a little coordination is enough. If the coordination is too good, the judges and guests will definitely hear it and raise some doubts.
