I'm a weird expert in Japan

"Stop bluffing here."

Shiyu sighed, "So that's how it's resolved? No fighting, no exorcism spells, just touching the tree?"

"Do you have any strange expectations about exterminating monsters?" Lian leaned back in his chair. "Different monsters have different ways of being treated. The 'Feather Crab' doesn't listen to people, so it can only be exterminated by force. The 'Snake Cutting Rope' itself is a monster that can kill people, so it could have been exterminated with spells, but what Xiao Mu encountered was a creature like the young Yamata no Orochi."

When he said this, he turned his gaze to the window. From the window of the room on the second floor, he could just see the "Wood Spirit".

"Wooden ghosts are generally harmless monsters. No matter how picky the monster experts are, they would not think of putting them on the task list for extermination. The creation of a curse like this is ultimately the fault of the guys in the football club, and in the end, it implicated others, causing Tei to suffer as well."

"In other words, if nothing happened to the Emperor this time, you wouldn't care?" Shi Yu asked.

"Well..." Lian didn't comment.

Personally, he didn't want to get involved, but if the situation continued to deteriorate, even if he wasn't pushed to the football club by Oshino Fan, Di would definitely think of Lian and come to him for help.

He will still be in charge then.

"Let's not talk about that." Shiyu pried into Lian's eyes and brought the topic back to the topic, "Are you sure that just that is enough?"

"That should be enough," Lian said.

The palm was transformed into part of the tree not to repair the damage, but as a sacrifice.

Resolve the resentment of the "Wood Ghost" by causing damage.

"What if it still doesn't work?"

"Then spend some money to buy this tree, and then use the magic sword Xin Du to cut it." Lian gave a simple and rough answer without hesitation.

"You keep beheading people, just like the executioners at the end of the shogunate." Shiyu looked at Lian speechlessly, "Are you really a violinist?"

"You've been to a concert before." Lian was too lazy to defend herself and continued, "Besides, this time we can only say that the collision between the people from the football club was not severe. If Mu Mei's torso was broken, the problem would be several times more serious."

Shiyu leaned over the table and nodded slightly, "Well... although it's a little simple, it should be able to become something more useful after some processing. It's a pity that I left in such a hurry that I didn't even bring my laptop with me."

"I didn't bring you here to collect folk songs." Lian felt helpless. "And can you go back? It's already 10:13, you don't need to sleep, right? I have to go to Kyoto tomorrow."

"Oh, yes, Kyoto." Shiyu became excited. "It's just after the holiday, so there must be no tourists anywhere—"

Then Shiyu stood up quickly and ran out of the room, apparently going back to her room.

"Oh..." Lian rubbed his temple.

He really wanted to buy a plane ticket and send Kasumigaoka Utaha back to Tokyo...

However, given Shiyu's rather unrestrained personality, Lian was not sure she could do this.

Thinking of this, Lian looked at the mobile phone on the table.

If it's Mr. Hanekawa, he must have some good ideas.

Unfortunately, before Lian could pick up the phone, the screen lit up and an unmarked phone number appeared on it.

"Hey……?"

"Hey, Xiao Lian, are things going well?"

It was a very bright and cheerful sound that didn't make you feel like it was late at night.

Chapter 99: One Night in Takasa (2)

Hearing the greeting from someone whose voice didn't sound serious at all, Lian almost immediately figured out who the other person was.

"Miss Woyan..."

"You can just call me Izuko. Of course, I personally recommend that you call me Sister Izuko. Calling me Auntie like you did to Old Blade Heart is not nice."

"Yes...Sister Izuko." Lian rubbed his head.

Compared to Shiyu, Woyan Izu Lake is difficult to deal with in another sense.

The only difference is that Lian has respect from the bottom of his heart for this truly "know-it-all" person.

Or awe.

"Originally, the 'Wooden Charm' wasn't that troublesome. With one hand as the price, the other party should have eliminated the resentment and removed the curse, right?"

"I don't know about that. Don't make me sound like I have super powers, Xiao Lian... I'm not that amazing. I heard Xiao Shan's call during the day, so I thought I should give you a call. But I'm really busy, so I've delayed it until now. Are you sleeping?"

"Not yet. I just had dinner with Kasumigaoka at the B&B."

"Hahaha, really? Are you actually spending the night outside? Young people should be so unrestrained. That's great!" Miss Woyan expressed her understanding. "Next, according to convention, we should go to the hot spring bath together for the scheduled mixed bath, right?"

No understanding necessary.

Moreover, the men's and women's bathing areas in the homestays here are separate, so that kind of scene will never happen.

"I don't have such worldly desires." Lian said, resisting the urge to complain.

"Really? Then how do you explain why you targeted Miss Meimao?"

"...I'm not targeting Mr. Hanekawa..." Lian retorted awkwardly. "Don't make me sound like a perverted stalker."

"Are you really not interested in Ms. Hanekawa Tsubasa's breasts?"

"..."

Lian was choked.

If one were to rank the bust sizes of the opposite sex that Lian had known so far, Hanekawa Tsubasa would undoubtedly be in the T0 tier. Lian could be sure of this simply by visually inspecting through their clothes.

But he has not told anyone so far.

Now Woyan Izu Lake suddenly brought it up, which seemed very generous, but it was extremely ridiculous.

For a mixed-blood vampire who has not been deeply involved in human society, this is more than ten times more exciting than exchanging dirty jokes with Kasumigaoka.

"Then let's get straight to the point. Since the 'Wood Ghost' has been dealt with, there's nothing to worry about. I can assure you of this, big sister." Woyan Izuko said in a different tone.

Lian didn't have much doubt about this. It was just that Takasago was too far away from Tokyo, so he didn't want to make another trip.

Even if you have to run, it doesn’t mean you want to run.

"This kind of thing isn't important enough for Izuko-sama to call and ask for your help, right?" Lian said, "Or are you worried about that Kasumigaoka guy? She's very talkative."

"I'm not worried about Sister Shiyu. You'll definitely pay attention to it anyway." Miss Woyan said, "Although she's a novice, she can still be useful, right?"

"Hmm..." Lian had no way to refute.

If Shiyu hadn't gone to find Ogiso and found out new details, Lian would still be worried about this matter.

Is that guy really a social phobic? He couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"That's good, that's good. After all, I've never made a mistake in judging someone. It would be embarrassing if I made a mistake here."

Although it sounds like Woyan Izu Lake doesn't really care about losing face.

"After that, you should spend the night with sister Shiyu, Xiao Lian, and then return to Tokyo together, right?"

"Without a night of love, there would be no chance of a single love..." Lian felt helpless. "As for returning to Tokyo, since I just happened to be in Kansai, I plan to--"

"If you want to go to Kyoto, I advise you to give up this idea."

Before he could finish, Miss Woyan stopped Lian seriously in a tone as if she had foreseen the answer.

"why?"

“It’s too early to go there now.”

"Too early?"

"The time is not right yet. If you go to Kyoto, you will never come back." Woyan Izuko told him, "Although as a weird expert, you shouldn't get involved in the conflicts of interest between adults, but at this age, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you."

"...Could it be that Miss Woyan is in trouble?" Lian was vaguely worried.

If this know-it-all woman was in trouble, it must be something extremely serious.

"No, I was just asked by the Shijo family to look after your brother." Woyan Izuko said, "After all, Takasago is very close to Kyoto."

Lian dropped her shoulders, "No wonder..."

No wonder Di's parents let their son run to such a delicate place. It turns out that they had secretly arranged someone, and he was the strongest one.

But if you think about it from another perspective, there may be some unknown secrets in the Shinomiya family.

Even such a large family has countless secrets.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that you're suspicious of this kind of thing and even want to check it out yourself," Woyan Izuko continued, "but that's just the motivation. In terms of the process and results, it couldn't be worse."

"Well……"

"Now that you understand, just sleep with the girl honestly, then cheer up and go back to Tokyo, back to your 'territory'."

"Is it necessary to repeat the same topic three times?" Lian complained helplessly, "Besides, how can I wake up after sleeping..."

"Very good, very good. It seems that you understand it very well."

"I don't understand……"

"And you've already met Xiaoshan. That kid didn't go to Fengzhizaki just to be a teacher, but because Fengzhizaki deserves Xiaoshan's presence there." Woyan Izuko said, "Private Fengzhizaki Academy can't do without you. No, it should be said that you must stay in that school."

"…What happened?"

"Something has already happened, and some things haven't happened yet but may happen." Woyan Izuko said, "In short, don't go too far. Nothing is more powerless than being out of reach."

She kept giving him hints, either explicit or implicit. Lian felt that Miss Woyan didn't want him to wander around, stimulating the weirdness in various places and increasing her workload, right?

"Well... Anyway, I understand. I will return as soon as possible."

"That's good to know. I'll hang up now."

Before Lian could say goodbye, the call was unilaterally disconnected, just as it had been unilaterally connected the moment before.

"There's really no other way... Let's go back tomorrow." Lian leaned back in the chair.

No matter what Miss Woyan's intention is, there won't be any big problem if we do as she says.

"The hot spring bath is still open, do you want to take a bath?" Shiyu leaned out from behind the door, holding a wooden basin filled with towels and shampoo, and put on a charming expression, "Let's spend the night together and then cheer up to travel to Kyoto in the off-season tomorrow."

Lian looked at Shiyu who was looking forward to the trip with some satisfaction:

"I'll spend time with you... and the reservation has been cancelled. I will return to Tokyo tomorrow morning and will take a detour to avoid Kyoto."

"..."

A Kasumigaoka Utaha lost her dream.

Chapter 100 Chapter 1 Trigger ()

"I see. There really is no mystery at all. It's just an unknown disaster caused by human stupidity. Although Ren, who drove to Kansai overnight for such a small matter, is the most stupid and extremely strange person."

Then, on another Monday afternoon, Oshino Ogi, who was eating lunch in an unused classroom, listened to Ren's account of what had happened. He rested his chin on the back of his hand and made a comment with a half-smile on his face.

"Stupid? I don't think it's stupid. For the Emperor or the Princess, even if I were asked to get a fighter jet and fly directly to Antarctica, I wouldn't hesitate at all."

However, Lian did not care about Oshino Ogi's evaluation. Instead, he took it for granted that this action had what he thought was legitimacy.

In other words, correctness.

For the sake of his important younger brother and sister, he would not hesitate at all, even if he had to be cut into pieces by the demon sword Shinto like Araragi Koyomi, and walk around Yomi Hirasaka with his soul alone.

After all, there is the demon sword Dream Crossing that can bring dead monsters back to life.

"Regarding this point, I have no doubt that Shijo-kun will really do this." Teacher Hanekawa agreed with a smile, "But the cost of borrowing fighter jets is very high, it is better to pay it off. Mortgage is not a good idea."

"No, no, my brain is not as valuable as yours." Lian said with a modest smile, and suddenly realized, "No! Teacher Shan, why are you here too!"

Obviously, at the beginning he was telling Hanekawa Tsubasa what happened before.

It was already past eleven in the morning on Friday when Ren returned to Tokyo, so she asked Teacher Hanekawa to ask for leave for her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also took a leave of absence.

As to whether anyone has made such an association, it is unknown.

"You're being so polite, Ren. As 'a person who used to be a weirdo' and a 'weirdo living in the present', let's get along as the same kind and let me see the stories happening around you. This is one of the reasons why I chose the Private Toyosaki Academy as my internship school." Oshino Ogi frowned slightly, as if hurt by Ren's words.

But that was just her strategy for expressing emotions, showing an outward expression of joy or sadness according to the occasion, which would make people relax.

In fact, Oshino Ogi is a bystander who is calmer than anyone else.
