I'm a weird expert in Japan

"Have it?"

"He went straight to Kansai overnight for his brother. He is truly a great brother."

"...Well..." Lian didn't know how to refute.

Shiyu obviously didn't intend to continue to dwell on this topic, "I also saw your brother and sister just now, but your uncle didn't come."

"Ah, you mean Dianthus?" Lian held the back of his head, "Maybe I got up late."

"To be honest, Sawamura-san hasn't shown up in the audio-visual classroom recently. It was all Shinomiya-kun who was making trouble. I thought she lost the game and felt embarrassed."

"That's not the case..." Lian put her hands on her hips and looked at the painting that Shiyu was looking at.

The gold medal of this prefectural competition went to Sawamura Spencer Eriri from the Art Department of Toyonosaki Private Academy, and the silver medal went to Shinobu Shinobi.

To Lian, these results were so commonplace that she wasn't even surprised.

What’s more, they are all serious paintings, and they are really beautiful.

"What do you think?" Shiyu asked Lian what she thought about the painting.

"Not bad, Sawamura's brushstrokes feel much sharper, like a blade unsheathed." Lian subconsciously captured the adjective, "That guy is really hardworking."

It is understandable that she would give 120% of her strength to a regular competition, but Eriri seemed to have given % of her strength and performed exceptionally well, leaving Shizhu's work far behind.

In the past, the gap between the two was only about the same, but now it is as big as heaven and earth.

"It's true that they are very talented. I almost thought there was a rival among the contestants." Shiyu thought thoughtfully, "But it looks like-"

"Looks like?"

"Looks a bit uncomfortable."

"No way, sir, you can see that?"

"Sir?"

"That's how it's called in Hong Kong movies." Lian had to explain again, "Go on."

"It's not that I can see it, but as a creator, I probably have a certain intuition about my creations." Shiyu continued, "Just like Lian has an intuitive feeling about weirdness."

"It's the same way—" Lian glanced at Shiyu, "Can you change the adjective?"

"I thought I chose the form that would be easiest for Lian to understand. After all, your Chinese is not very good, and any slightly sophisticated rhetoric would be beyond your scope."

"Don't suddenly change your attack and start saying bad things about me..." Lian was speechless.

Shiyu smiled and said, "I am only stating the facts. Lian's mental side must be too fragile. Any truth will become a mental attack on you. Do you need a SAN CHECK?"

"1d100, failure."

"Hate it, are you going to transform?"

"Don't take out your phone while saying scary things." Lian looked at Shiyu, "Xiazhiqiu, please sit down."

"When are you going to call my name?" Shiyu held the phone with a slightly disappointed look on her face. "We are friends, right?"

Lian smirked, "Making friends makes me less powerful as a human being."

"…But if that happens, does that mean your strength as a vampire will increase?"

I wanted to use the famous lines from the Inspector's school days to get rid of Shiyu, but I was unexpectedly frustrated again.

Just as he was thinking about what to say next, his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

"Ok?"

Lian thought about it while taking out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the email interface.

"From: Shizhu / Subject: Emergency, come quickly. "

"What kind of contact is this? It doesn't even say where to go..." Shiyu came over to take a look and just opened her mouth, but Lian held her face and cut her words back.

If there was an emergency and he could be contacted, there were only a few places where Shizhu would be.

First of all, we can rule out the Shinomiya Villa.

No matter how thick-skinned that guy is, he wouldn't be so stupid as to allow people from the Shijo family to visit his villa.

Once the simple process of elimination is done, there is only one place left.

The villa of Sawamura Spencer's family.

As for visiting, I have been there several times and know the approximate address.

Although it is still unclear what the matter is, since Shizhu could say "emergency", it must have reached a point where that guy couldn't handle it.

"What's going on? I still have to go to school..." Lian muttered

"What should we do then?" Shiyu had no choice but to take Lian's place.

"What can I do...of course I'll go and take a look."

Lian had made up her mind, but suddenly she dropped her phone.

He hastily picked it up, put it in his pocket, and quickly left the gallery.

Chapter 118: The Strength of Being a Human Being (2)

"So fast! Faster than Salamander!"

When Lian drifted to a stop outside Eriri's villa, Shiyu exclaimed in the passenger seat.

"...If you keep trying to make jokes, I'll lock you up in my car and suffocate you to death."

Lian got out of the car.

From what Lian knew, the matter that could cause Shizhu to send an email for help could most likely be related to Ying Lili.

If it was Kaguya Shinomiya, then it wouldn't be Lian's turn to deal with it.

To be more precise, Lian cannot be allowed to handle it.

But changing his thinking, something that would make Shizhu need help from others... was definitely something he couldn't do.

It's about weirdness.

What an ominous logical chain...

As Lian reached out to press the doorbell, she began to hesitate.

He was very reluctant to think about it.

First it was Tei, then it was Sawamura Eriri, so who will be the next person by his side?

Is it the real concubine? Or is it Dianthus?

Without considering teacher Hanekawa, Lian simply knew that if that situation really happened, Meimao and Kehu would probably appear one after another to protect their host, Hanekawa Tsubasa.

All in all, it’s really not a good sign when people around you start to encounter strange things one after another.

If this is just a coincidence in some sense, it can still be accepted.

The Emperor's misfortune was unprovoked, but Ying Lili didn't know about it yet.

Thinking optimistically, maybe those two guys were just arguing to the point where they needed a trustworthy outsider to judge the dispute?

It is said that one should side with what is right, not with one's relatives. Lian would never favor Shizhu without any bottom line.

Support whoever is right.

The four ripples nodded silently in their hearts and tried to convince themselves that this was the situation they would face next.

Otherwise, why did Shizhu send an email instead of a phone call? He must have sent it secretly, maybe even typing it blindly.

Touch the screen to type and send emails blindly. Dianthus, you are so powerful.

"Hey, it's time to go in. Why are you daydreaming?" Shiyu patted his shoulder.

Lian looked up and found that the door was open. The maid hired by Sawamura Spencer was standing by the door waiting for the two to enter.

"You rang the doorbell?" Lian was stunned.

"You pressed it yourself." Shiyu looked at Lian helplessly, and after a while she added in a low voice, "Are you panicking now?"

Quiet questioning, calm eyes.

Looking at the serious Shiyu in silence, Lian turned her face away silently, stepped into the yard of Sawamura Spencer's house and walked inside.

Shiyu neither made sarcastic remarks nor made jokes, but just followed quietly.

After the servant who had opened the door walked past her, Lian spoke softly:

"I'm not human."

"I already know this, and you've saved me many times."

"I'm weird."

"Vampires are the strongest monsters, standing at the top of all monsters, even above humans." Shiyu continued to respond.

"That's right. Telling you this won't scare you at all, nor will it make you feel surprised." Lian smiled helplessly.

Shiyu put her hands behind her back and said, "I was surprised before, but it's been so long."

Then, Lian stopped in the courtyard and looked at Shiyu who also stopped. "I am a human and a vampire, a combination of the two. But in the final analysis, I am a weird existence."

"Hmm... you want to say 'I am different from Kasumigaoka, I am not a human, so please stop here', right?"

"I don't bother to say that kind of thing. You won't obey me anyway."

"If you really said that, I would listen to you." Shiyu was not joking.

Lian didn't want to joke, so he continued his topic, "Because I'm a weirdo, I have to exist like a weirdo, but I live like a human."

"is it not OK?"

“It’s not impossible…” Lian took a deep breath.

Identified as a harmless monster by Woyan Izu Lake, he avoided the possibility of being targeted by any monster experts who were hunting undead monsters from the very beginning.

But this kind of life that goes against the weird way of existence will definitely be targeted by "darkness" and corrected.

He must return to the world related to weirdness and become a "weird killer".

On the other hand, it also means that the weird part of Lian has been completely "activated".

He won't lose himself, but——

"Nothing good will come of being associated with weird things." Lian looked at the withered flowers in the flowerbed, "whether it's active or passive."

"So you feel like you're bringing disaster to the people around you?"

"This is the most reasonable explanation so far." Lian frowned. "Strange things will attract strange things. This is not some kind of probability theory. It's just a simple... result."

In other words, wherever he is, strange things will inevitably appear.

"How did you become like me?" Shiyu raised her hand high, slowly lowered it, and finally slapped it lightly on Lian's face with a snap. "It would be fine if you were a human with a natural aura of bad luck, but you are a mixed-blood vampire, right? And you have a magic sword that can kill any monster with one strike."

"Kasumi Hill..."

He thought Shiyu would slap him, but instead she lifted him up high and then gently put him down.

"You didn't do anything, you just lived your life normally, enjoying your every day, and playing with many women."

Lian's eyebrows jumped. "That last sentence is completely false information. Don't add slander and defamation to me at this time. Be careful or I will call a lawyer over."

"I can also hire a lawyer to defend me."

"The lawyer I hired is Gu Meimen."

"Then I'll hire Lawyer Miki."

Lian sighed, "But I'm not blaming myself like you are. I'm weird, there's no doubt about that, no matter how the world changes, it can't change this fact. I've never hated my background, nor do I feel inferior because of it. My parents love me, my brothers and sisters respect me, and my relatives value me."

But facts are facts. There is no need to dwell on them or be overly self-critical.

As perfect as Euler's formula, perfection is so perfect that everything will eventually return to zero.

It's so perfect that it makes people almost faint.

So he was very panicked, and his worry about Sawamura Spencer Eriri was secondary.

What’s more important is whether you have begun to hinder the people around you.
