I'm a weird expert in Japan

"Ah, it's hard to buy tickets for the special seats, so everyone sits in the ordinary seats." Keiichi was envious.

Shiyu smiled proudly, "I didn't buy it, someone gave it to me, right, Mr. Utsunomiya?"

“…Well, um…” Lian responded vaguely and took a sip of water.

Then, Shiyu played the role of assistant to Ren, who was unwilling to talk to others, and communicated with Kato Keiichi on his behalf.

Fortunately, she had done a lot of research about Lian, and when she talked about her she was just as good as a real fan, so it was quite lively for a while.

"By the way, when will the pre-sale of performance tickets start when teacher's work resumes? Is there a specific time?" said Keiichi Kato.

"Cousin Keiichi is so enthusiastic." Kato Megumi sighed in a calm tone.

"Oh, my senior Ai Mei who is in the same laboratory with me also likes classical music..." Keiichi muttered.

Shiyu showed an understanding expression and said, "Then you have to buy a special seat." But she found that Lian seemed to be looking at Kato, her eyes fixed on him...

Shiyu noticed this and pulled Lian by the collar, "Why are you staring at Kato? Don't you like Mr. Hanekawa?"

"No..." Lian shook her head, "I just felt like I had seen Kato Megumi somewhere..."

Shiyu let go of her hand, "Didn't we meet last time in Hehe City?"

The two of them were talking a little loudly, and Kato heard it too. She nodded, "Yeah, that's right."

Today in the audio-visual classroom, I recognized Lian as the "Red Cross" from that day, but I didn't have the chance to say hello.

"Have you seen it?" Kato Keiichi was surprised.

So Kato Megumi began to explain the matter to her cousin, but Lian ignored her and shook her head at Shiyu.

"Huh?" Shiyu felt very strange.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other person was distracted, he said "Excuse me for a moment" and pulled Lian to the bathroom, where they talked beside the sink outside the toilet.

This place is slightly separated from the noise of the restaurant, but not many people come to the bathroom.

"Have you met Kato-san? Before?"

"I can't remember clearly." Lian said speechlessly, "To be honest, I'm not very good at remembering people. All humans seem the same to me, so I only have some subtle impressions."

"Is this true... Kato is so inconspicuous. Just now in the audio-visual classroom, no one noticed her until the class was dismissed." Shiyu didn't believe it and thought Lian had made a mistake.

"Really...wait a minute."

Lian said, raised his right hand beside his cheek and shaped it into a blade, and without hesitation, stabbed four fingers into his temple.

The high school boy's large palm buried itself in the boy's head.

The blood that gushed out quickly evaporated and disappeared without leaving any trace.

"You, you, you..." Shiyu was so scared that her pale face lost all color.

"I told you to wait a moment, and I'll remember it right away. Whether it's remarkable or not is a human expression, and I can't tell the difference."

Lian answered slowly, stirring his head—that is, his brain—randomly with his hands. Not only did blood flow out of the wound, but liquid that looked like brain matter also dripped out.

"Um..." Shiyu covered her mouth.

She felt that she might not be able to eat the dinner later.

The scene before my eyes was like something out of an extremely restricted horror movie.

Lian's fingers seemed to be entangled with the oculomotor nerve, and his right eye made strange movements as if it was possessed by a demon.

Literally... searching for "memories".

"My memory is not so much bad as it is too good, so my brain will instinctively seal away the useless parts, just like you will forget where a file is on your computer... Hmm..."

Then, his right hand twitched.

Shiyu watched the wound heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blood that had seeped out gradually evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

"I remember that when we performed in Tokyo in the spring of last year, Kato's cousin was waiting in line for an autograph but missed out. I remember clearly how disappointed he looked at that time, and Kato Megumi was right next to him."

Lian smiled cheerfully.

"I remembered... no way!" Shiyu lowered her voice and looked around anxiously to confirm that no one had come over in the past ten seconds.

Just as she was thinking that luckily no one was around and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Shiyu discovered that there was a surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling diagonally behind Lian.

"…It's over. Everything you did just now was recorded."

"Hmm?" Lian turned around and glanced at the camera disapprovingly. "It's okay. What I did just now will activate the vampire bloodline. As a result, if I don't actively control it, I won't appear in the mirror or the camera."

"Eh?"

Only then did Shiyu realize that there was only her shadow in the mirror behind Lian, and he was like a ghost with no reflection.

"But I've wanted to try this for a long time, let's do it quickly." Lian looked at her hands that were as clean as before.

Vampire blood is different from human blood. It evaporates very quickly and is difficult to accumulate for a long time.

"Didn't you say that if I crushed my brain I would die?" Shi Yu was speechless.

"Ah? That?" Lian recalled what he said before and smiled nonchalantly, "That was just nonsense I said. It's hard to kill me."

"Uh..." Shiyu suddenly felt a little weak.

Lian's appearance now looks almost the same as it did a moment ago, as if the bloody scene just now was just a dream.

"Oh, right—" Lian was about to walk back when she suddenly stopped, "I forgot to tell you something, about vampires."

"Ok?"

"Actually, when my vampire bloodline is activated, it will have a similar charm effect on other creatures, including humans, just like real vampires." Lian Dan closed his eyes, "If you suddenly think that I have become more handsome, remember to tell yourself that this is an illusion. It is just the performance of being charmed."

"...What are you talking about?" Shiyu brushed her hair and responded coldly, "Even if you want to be narcissistic, please have a limit. You look no different from usual, and you dare to say that you have become more handsome."

"Ah, really?"

?

I will write about the epilogue of Kaguya's book when I have time (probably)

The main reason is that I have no ideas anymore, and it's weird to keep jumping timelines_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 109: What the Eyes Are Looking At (1)

"I didn't expect you still remembered me..."

Later, when he returned to his seat, Kato Keiichi showed a very surprised expression.

"I was in a hurry and didn't have time to sign for you." Lian said, "If you need, I can sign another one for you now."

The brother and sister were a little surprised by his sudden departure, thinking that he had disturbed Ren and Shiyu's date or something like that, but it turned out that Ren just felt that Kato looked familiar, so she left the table on purpose to recall him.

Although she was curious about what the recall process was that required her to leave the table specifically, Kato Megumi did not ask any further questions.

"Huh? Really?" Kato Keiichi was very happy, but he came empty-handed and didn't bring anything.

Kato Hui reminded, "I remember when I came here just now, there was a stationery store at the corner at the end of this street."

"Oh, yes, I remember that too." Kato Kei stood up, and his cell phone rang. "Hello, ah, Xiaohui and I are here now, you and your uncle and aunt come over together--"

It sounded like his parents called, so Kato Keiichi answered the phone and left his seat.

Left my cousin here.

"I'm sorry, Shijo-senpai... Keiichi-san was a little too happy." Hui apologized to Lian softly.

"Nothing." Lian didn't care.

Shi Yu then agreed, "That's right, it's because he was so kind that he actually offered to give me an additional autograph. How come I didn't know you were so gentle?"

"Isn't this a basic operation?" Lian disagreed. "After all, they are fans who support me, so it's okay to give them an autograph. It's not like I have to hold an event or something like that to get an autograph."

"But you still remember what happened a year ago. Mr. Utsunomiya really has an amazing memory." Shiyu teased.

"Tsk..." Lian glanced at Shiyu, as if to say "Do you need me to demonstrate it again?"

Shiyu smiled secretly, but Kato on the side didn't understand. When she saw that the conversation was getting dull, she naturally spoke to warm up the atmosphere.

"But I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect to be remembered..." Kato said.

She was just stating the facts normally, with a slight sigh that her presence was a bit low and not very noticeable. She was actually aware of this, but it didn't cause her any trouble.

After all, it doesn’t mean that you really have no sense of existence, it’s just that when you are in a group of people, it’s not easy to be noticed first.

Compared with the two people sitting opposite, they are simply two extremes.

"You make it sound like no one can remember you." Lian complained subconsciously.

Kato's expression is not very obvious, but it is not emotionless. He just expresses his emotions in a casual way, not rude, but difficult to interpret.

This made Lian unable to tell what the other party wanted to say at all.

"That's true." Kato explained calmly, "I was in the same class with Amaki-kun during our first year, but he didn't even remember it until the beginning of this semester."

"…At this point, should we say that your presence is subtle, or should we say that Amami-kun likes to ignore his surroundings?" Shiyu said casually.

Kato thought for a moment and said, "I think I'm not that noticeable, right? There are girls in my class that I get along well with, but when everyone gets together, I tend to be forgotten."

"Isn't that bad?" Lian asked casually.

"It's not that I'm being bullied... If I speak up, no one will think it's a problem." Kato tapped his cheek with his finger. "I'm playing with my phone while listening to everyone talking. In fact, most of the time I don't need to speak up."

Lian crossed her arms, "Well, now that you mention it, you were like this in the audio-visual classroom today. I thought you were the owner of that classroom."

"After all, I'm alone, there's no way I can use that classroom," Kato expressed his confusion.

Shiyu waved her hands. "It's nothing strange. He speaks from experience."

"Are you referring to the Touma-senpai from the Second Music Room?" Kato asked.

"...You haven't also seen him competing with Touma and Sa in playing the piano, have you?" Shiyu asked with narrowed eyes.

Kato blinked and said, "No, I was at the gym at the time, and it was over by the time I got there."

“Yeah yeah——” Lian smiled and spread out his hands.

"But I'm surprised that a celebrity like Shijo-senpai would notice me." Kato continued the topic from the previous moment.

Lian felt a little embarrassed. He crossed his arms and looked away. "Well... this..."

It’s more like seeing it than not noticing it.

Lian understood the so-called subtle or eye-catching presence, but personally, he couldn't really appreciate it.

Kato Megumi in front of us is such an example.

As a high-purity mixed-blood vampire, Lian's ability to sense everything is an innate ability. After all, if he is not careful, he will encounter a hunting team composed of mixed-blood vampires, lower-level vampires and priests.

The former Kissshow Yaselaolarion Bladeheart knows this all too well.

No one can guarantee that after your limbs and heart are taken away, there will still be someone passing by and sucking your blood while you are seeking refuge.

To him, Kato Megumi is just a human being. As long as she appears within his range of activities, it is impossible for her to be unaware.

"This guy is actually born neurotic and has severe social phobia. He is afraid of all humans." Shiyu started talking nonsense without changing his expression.

"If I really have social phobia, then why would I still sit here and eat with a human like you? Even though the food hasn't arrived yet." Lian raised her head slightly and seriously questioned Shiyu's words.

Shiyu smiled slightly, "I've said it a long time ago, I'm the archangel who is responsible for punishing you as a lustful demon——"

"I always feel that the prefix has become longer. Is it my illusion?" Lian almost wanted to bring a steamroller to beat Shiyu to death.

——But this way there’s no way to absorb blood, which is a bit of a waste.

"So you admit that I was right?" Shiyu pretended to be surprised.

Lian narrowed her eyes, "Only a ghost would believe that... Kato-san over there, do you believe it?"

"Eh? Ah... that..." Kato tilted his head in confusion, "Sorry, I didn't hear—"

"...How pitiful. This is what we call a lack of sense of existence. The girl actually ignored everything you said the first moment." Shiyu put her hand on her chest and pressed Lian's shoulder with extreme sympathy.

"It's because your speech exceeded the age limit that other people's brains automatically activated the filtering program, and even I was affected." Lian shook Shiyu's hand away, "Just be honest..."

While the two were arguing, the waiter finally brought the food they ordered, ending the farce.
