I'm a weird expert in Japan

"I mean the side effects are similar, just different in form. The first one looks like a murder, the second one looks like a Western fantasy."

"Then there is only one type... there is no need to distinguish them..."

"You still have the energy to complain, which means you are very calm."

"I have to calm down. Okay, let's talk about the third option?"

"Compared to the first two, the third one cannot eradicate the strangeness, it can only temporarily delay the harm of the strangeness and save Sawamura's life."

"What do you mean by cannot be eradicated?"

"This monster named 'bamboo' was born from the host's wish and exists to help the host realize his wish. However, the price of its existence is the host's vitality. In other words, it uses the host's life as fuel to continue its existence. Like most plants, it does not have a subjective consciousness like the wood spirit, but only has behaviors such as survival instinct. When it blooms, it also represents the realization of the wish and the death of the host. "

"I've already mentioned this, right? So, one is fuel, the other is plant, which one is it?"

"In short, it's energy... I'm repeating this specifically to tell you... If you continue in this state, the flower will bloom in less than three days."

"Then this and the third method—"

"The last method is for someone to share life force, so as to delay the flowering time of the bamboo with more sufficient energy. But as I said, it is only temporary, at most it can save your life. The only difference is that it will not take away Sawamura's wish or anything else."

"Isn't that wonderful? Tell me how to share life."

"You decided to take it without a second thought, but that's what I planned. But I'll say it beforehand, this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Once you share your life, the two of you will only have two months at most."

"This is much more than I expected..."

"Your smile is too ugly. I personally recommend the third option, which is to mobilize everyone I know in the next two months, and maybe I can find a way to save your life."

"…Is that so…"

"So you are ready to give up your planned future and choose to live and die with Sawamura?"

"Is it weird?"

"It's not strange, but I can't understand why someone would smile and go to a date knowing that he or she is likely to die. You are not a vampire, and you don't have endless vitality."

"Well... I don't want to say this to you. It sounds arrogant and harsh. But I have to say it... It is precisely because we can do such unreasonable things that we humans are human. In this regard, you still need to learn more. "

"Whatever you say, just go. The longer you delay, the more likely Sawamura's LP will become a candle in the wind."

Thinking back to the conversation and the only acceptable option given, Shizhu gently stroked Eriri's hair.

Honestly, I get scared when I think I only have two months left to live, and I feel really sorry for my sister.

But... this is really the only choice he has.

"If you can live until tomorrow, I will greet tomorrow with you; if you will die today, there is no need for me to keep this life until tomorrow."

Sigong Shizhu uttered these words to himself in a low voice.

Desperately, yet hopefully, words spoken to someone you don't want to lose.

The girl woke up slowly and looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"You're awake, are you feeling better?"

"Shizhu, you're back... So is Kasumigaoka gone?"

"You seem to be in good spirits." Shizhu was amused by Eriri's attitude.

Ying Lili looked away embarrassedly, "Who asked that guy to stop me from getting out of bed——"

"You didn't wet the bed?"

"I'm not a child!" Ying Lili retorted weakly.

Shizhu nodded, and then said, "I have to apologize to you for something."

"What..." Ying Lili was shocked.

"The reason I destroyed that painting... wasn't because I was afraid you'd be jealous of me." Shizhu's hand slipped into the quilt and held Eriri's hot palm, "but if you saw that I had learned so much, you would definitely say, 'It seems I have nothing to teach you.' Then, I would have no reason... to stay with you any longer."

"So that's how it is..." Eriri responded hesitantly.

"But I didn't expect that my cunning behavior would cause such a big misunderstanding and force you... to this point."

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, I'm your master, and it's only right for me to work hard to improve myself." Ying Lili looked away awkwardly.

"I won't stop you from studying painting skills...but I can't just ignore you if you make yourself half dead."

What’s more, he was possessed by a strange spirit, which turned into the most deadly situation.

"I'm sorry..." Eriri said sullenly.

"You're not wrong. I was just too reckless... and I lied to you and my partner."

"Why didn't you tell me that at the beginning?" Ying Lili complained.

Obviously, if we just talk openly like this, there won't be so many complicated questions.

"I do have something I want to say to you directly now." Shizhu helped Yinglili turn over and keep her lying flat.

"what?"

"If... I mean if, you only have less than two months left to live, will you be afraid?"

"Yes, but if there is really no cure, I can only enjoy the rest of my life... although it's a pity that I may not be able to catch up with Xia COMI."

"Then...if, like you, I only have less than a month left to live, and I die when you die, will you feel better?"

"How is this possible? Why do you have to die with me... Wait, are you sick or am I sick?" Ying Lili became alert.

"It's not a disease at all—" Shizhu touched his hair.

"Tell me the truth, okay?" Ying Lili held Shizhu's hand tightly, with a bit of pleading in her voice.

Shizhu scratched his cheek, "It's weird... It's what Lian would suddenly mention sometimes..."

"What happened to that?"

"It's on you now. If you continue to ignore it, you will only have less than a week left." Shizhu looked seriously into Eriri's eyes, "But if you let me share the burden, we still have two months. Let Lian help us find a solution."

"...No, no...Why...do I have to drag you into this?" Ying Lili was suddenly at a loss.

"Because I want to be with you forever." Shizhu told her sincerely, word by word.

Eriri was speechless, unable to find any words to refute Shizhu.

"…Then what should we do?"

"Uh...anyway, I'm going to kiss you now." Shizhu held Eriri's hand, his voice full of embarrassment.

Ying Lili's face immediately turned red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "Why, why, why, why do you want to... kiss..."

"That guy said... Either we exchanged blood with each other." Shizhu muttered, "In order to turn us into a weird shared host."

"Well, then there's nothing we can do... I won't feel anything if I kiss Shizhu anyway." Ying Lili's whole body was stiff and her tone was also stiff.

"That's what I mean. You even snatched it from me when we were playing the Pocky game." Shizhu also retorted with a hum.

The two were silent for a long time before Shizhu moved closer.

"Anyway, I'm going to kiss you..."

"Ah."

Ying Lili opened her lips slightly stiffly, and Shizhu lightly touched her lips.

"How is it? Is it effective?"

"how could I know?"

"S-Should I stick out my tongue…"

"...I don't know...don't ask me...hmm..."

--------

In the courtyard.

"Two months, is that really enough time?"

"I don't know... I guess even Sister Shinobu may not have seen this kind of weirdness." Lian sat by the flower bed and looked at Shiyu beside her and said, "It can't be said to be harmful, but it can't be said to be useless. And it was eradicated without any worries... It's really an unprecedented problem."

“So we can only let them share their lives first and extend the period for finding a solution?”

"Hanekawa-sensei, Izuko-nee, Oshino-san, Ougi-san, and Kojime Inspector and Shinobu-nee, there are as many people as I can ask for help—" Lian lowered her head, "Just think of this as the last thing I can do to bring weirdness into their lives before I distance myself from them."

"You're talking like you're going to cut off all ties with them. Aren't they your friends?"

"Well..." Lian did not comment, "Anyway, we need to find a solution next."

"Well, I'll help you."

“Even if I don’t want you to help, you will still rush in, and there’s Sister Izuko there fanning the flames…” Lian narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It's very clear—"

Lian stood up, dusted off her pants, and prepared to leave the Sawamura family.

Anyway, after sharing the weirdness, the condition will subside, and Dianthus will take care of the rest.

As he thought this, he looked back toward the second-floor window.

It was just past noon, but the lights in the room seemed to be on, and they were very bright.

Wait, that's not the light! Lian said in her mind.

I subconsciously used my vampire eyes to see what it was.

"How could it be——" Lian was dumbfounded.

He was sure that there was no one here except himself who could carry out the monster elimination.

"What?" Shiyu stretched out her hand to create a shed, but could not see anything.

"Nothing." Lian knew it all and turned around and walked towards the door with ease.

"Let's go, Shiyu."

"Eh? What did you call me just now?" Shiyu was stunned.

"Haven't you always asked me to call you like this? Are you just joking?"

"No, I'm serious. But why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"You contributed a lot to this matter. Without you, we wouldn't have reached the conclusion so quickly." Lian waved his hand without looking back, "Just admit that you can be my assistant."

"That's not a reluctant attitude... you tsundere."

Shiyu followed him with complaints and left with him.

Chapter 130 Ending Who would have thought of this! (1)

The next day, the last Sunday in May, outside the music competition concert hall.

"I see. The monster has been eliminated?"

In the middle of the game, after Touma and Sa finished their performance and left, Ren went outside with Hanekawa Tsubasa, sat down on a bench by the window outside the hall, and talked about what had happened before.

"I saw it with my own eyes... Although I didn't knock on the door, there is no mistake about these vampire eyes. After all, they are at the same level as Sister Shinobu." Lian said, pointing to her own golden eyes.

"So, we don't need to find a way to eradicate the weirdness in the next two months?"

"Yeah, I was shocked. Even Hanekawa-sensei said there's no way to completely eradicate it—"

“There are always exceptions.”

"Huh?" Lian was surprised.

Teacher Hanekawa looked at Lian with a smile, "This kind of weirdness that arises from people's inner wishes and thoughts actually has a best remedy -"

"what?"

"Love."

"...Huh?" Lian made a very rude sound.
