One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

"What happened on that island? As the only survivor, Ushiromiya Ewa, remained silent, everything that happened during those two days was buried in darkness."

The professor spoke slowly but could not hide his excitement.

"And these two diaries just happened to propose two hypotheses that can fill this gap. No matter which diary, it can explain these two days."

However, let alone which one is correct, we don’t even know if there is any correct one among them.

It's like Schrodinger's cat box.

Chapter 88: The footsteps of the witch hunter.

What is false is true as long as it is not denied.

It is said that these notes were also shown to Huiyu by the media, but she did not break her silence until the end...

While Yuanshou was talking and exchanging information with the professor.

Shengren was reading the contents of the two letters in the bottle for the first time.

Trying to find a new angle to look at the Rokkenjima incident.

Rokukenjima Witch Hunter.

The so-called hunters are the enthusiasts who try to explain the truth of this incident.

From the Ushiromiya collection of books, to the mysterious two days in the message in a bottle, to the legend of the Golden Witch, and so on, the mysteries of Rokkenjima are still being hotly discussed by enthusiasts.

From this perspective, whether it is Shengren, Yuanshou, or the professor, they all meet this definition.

"Last year, there was an international gathering in New York. I also attended as a representative of Japan! I had various exchanges with enthusiastic witch hunters from overseas."

"Witches are a very popular topic overseas. Participants range in age from elementary school students to famous cultural figures. It's really a wide range!"

…I think there’s no need to introduce myself.

This professor is one of the most famous witch hunters in Rokukenjima, Japan.

Moreover, it leans towards the supernatural side.

Afterwards, Yuanshou, who was sitting opposite him, was clearly not listening, but he continued talking excitedly.

Yuan Shou used a spoon to break the thin film on the thick soup, lowered his shoulders and sighed.

Obviously, she had lost interest in continuing the conversation.

(King Crimson!)

"What's wrong? Don't you want to talk anymore? It was obviously you who found the other party."

Shengren spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"...Yeah, as expected. It's a waste of time to investigate the message in the bottle."

Yuanshou was not disappointed.

It seems that I didn't have much expectations in this direction from the beginning.

"At least we understand that the message in the bottle wasn't written by Miss Maria, right?"

Shengren shrugged.

These two letters were written by someone pretending to be their blood relative, Ushiromiya Mariya.

Then, this person wrote a magical story without authorization, stuffed it into a bottle and threw it into the sea as if to say that this was the truth.

Well, the problem is coming.

Firstly, why send a message in a bottle when there is no guarantee it will actually be received?

Secondly, why write two letters? Why write two stories with different plural numbers?

"…One can only assume that this was committed by someone who wanted to create a witch fantasy."

Excluding Ushiromiya Ewa, seventeen people lost their lives.

The huge legacy is moving in secret, and even the ten tons of gold may be moving in secret.

However, the outcome of the confession turned out to be a witch's fantasy, which Yuanshou naturally could not accept.

This is the end of the topic of witch fantasy.

"But you really have a bad taste."

Katsuto resumed his usual tone.

"In the end, he even showed him Miss Maria's diary. After pursuing her for more than ten years, he found out that there were clues that he hadn't understood, but he could no longer touch her. It must be extremely painful, right?"

"It's just to confirm whether the guy who left the different handwriting on that page is the same person as the author of the message in the bottle - what, you sympathize with him?"

"I can't really say I have sympathy, but I do respect people who stick to their ideals and have been doing so for more than a decade."

What did that sentence say?

What you love is your life?

Cough, cough, cough...

Let’s not talk about this for now.

Next, they had to rush back to Tokyo.

That’s right, I just arrived in Osaka from Tokyo in the early morning, just met someone at a Western restaurant, chatted for a while, and then I have to rush back to Tokyo.

Most of the day was spent on the road.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

This is Kansai, this is Osaka.

It is very close to Kyoto, the headquarters of Suma Temple.

With the power of the Sumaji family, they would definitely have cast a net in advance for the people they would come into contact with.

He said that if Ushiromiya Yoshiroshi and Ushiromiya Katsuto showed up, he hoped they could help in capturing them, and he would pay them a reward afterwards.

However, Osaka is located within the Suma Temple sphere of influence, and they may not be able to react for a while.

This is what is called the darkest place under the lamp.

Yuan Shou probably took this into consideration, so he made an appointment with the witch hunter in Osaka from the beginning.

But it can't be kept secret for long.

It is estimated that as soon as they leave Osaka, Suma Temple will get the news.

Then, the professor would be invited by the Sumaji family to the tea room, where he would kneel on the concrete floor and drink their tea while holding up a stone slab.

After driving out of Osaka at high speed, Katsutto chats with Amakusa Jusan.

"Amakusa, I think I saw a guitar bag in the trunk of your car earlier. Do you play guitar too?"

"Ah... well, I learned it when I was in France to pick up a girl. I even played it on a zebra in Africa when I was on a mission."

"Is that so? Then when you have time, let's exchange guitar skills. I used to be in a band, so I'm a band member."

"Really? The kind of guy in a band who smokes, drinks, has a mushroom-haired head and plays with women?"

"…Apologize to the thirty-five people in the band I know."

Katsuto rolled his eyes.

“But it’s really hard as a guitarist, especially a lead guitarist.”

As he spoke, he gestured.

"During a live performance, I was so exhausted from slapping so much."

“You’ve also opened a Live.”

"Of course, holding a live performance is the ultimate pursuit of everyone in a band..."

"Can I get some sleep?"

Yuanshou, who was sitting next to him, interrupted their chat.

"Are you going to sleep again? You just got up from my shoulder not long ago."

Katsuto looked at the red-haired girl beside him.

Yuanshou avoided looking at her, but could still clearly see the redness on her cheek.

Of course, in the early hours of this morning, Yuanshou woke up twice in Shengren's arms.

When she found herself leaning on Shengren subconsciously, she immediately moved her head away and continued sleeping at a different angle.

However, the door was too uncomfortable, so she leaned on Shengren's shoulder again in a daze, and she tossed back and forth several times...

So, even though he slept, Yuanshou didn’t sleep well.

"That talkative professor will definitely immerse himself in his own world during the lecture, causing students to fall asleep one after another."

"I think it's quite interesting. Please do as you please. If you want to pursue a more comfortable position, how about using my thigh as a pillow?"

"Your thighs are all muscle when you cross in the car, it's too hard."

"Let me tell you, the term 'hard muscles' is insulting to athletes. I stretch regularly—"

To be precise, it is muscle stiffness.

Without deliberately tightening the muscles, the muscles have no elasticity...

You can tell at a glance that this is something done by a newbie who only exercises without stretching and increases the amount of exercise... Oh, the case of fifty times the density is another matter.

In short, this is just calling him a rookie.

The winner naturally can't hold back.

"Who cares about you?"

Yuanshou rolled his eyes at him and began to close his eyes to rest.

Katsutomo couldn't help but smile bitterly when his eyes met with Amakusa's, who was checking the situation through the rearview mirror.

Yuanshou goes to sleep when he says he wants to.

This time, she stuck her head in the gap between the headrest and the door, and no longer leaned towards Shengren in an unruly manner.

And Shengren, without making any sound, just looked around in boredom.

The cell phone is, of course, turned off.

What else do you want to do? Be tracked by Suma Temple's positioning signal?

Although the famous families in Kyoto have little remaining reputation, they would not call the police to arrest them... but even if they don't call the police, they can still locate the cell phone signal.

So, starting from yesterday, he and Yuanshou’s cell phones have been turned off.

It feels like I'm escaping.

Well, escaping is all for the final counterattack...

So nicely said.

So, how to fight back?

Their final destination is naturally where the story begins——

The witch's island, Rokukenjima.

Suma Temple would certainly not have failed to think of such a simple truth.

That is where the final battle will take place.

The way of the final battle is naturally not as simple as mixed martial arts...

As Shengren wondered where the road under their feet would lead to.

The scenery outside the car window became brightly lit.
