Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

Although no drunkard was crying in front of Yumazaki Yukiko, the ignorant and introverted girl was hunching her shoulders uneasily because of her words and stealing glances at her two male companions, which gave her a headache.

[Really? It's like I'm bullying a little girl~]

Yumazaki Yukiko said while holding her forehead. She sighed and her attitude softened a lot after that.

[That little girl! What's the point of looking around? Are you also a sorcerer? I don't understand what's so great about sorcerers, but since you're standing here, hold your head high and do your job well!]

Yumazaki Yukiko slapped her forehead. She looked at Shizi, who immediately straightened his chest after she spoke, and it was hard to tell whether her face showed happiness or anger.

[Forget it, let's finish early and go back early. ——You guys, I don't know what special abilities you have, if you can't do it, remember to give up immediately and leave the matter to the adults, understand? ]

【I see. 】

Nanami Kento responded as a representative.

He had no interest in saying anything more. For example, if their commission failed, the people who would replace them would most likely be high school students.

[Well, listen carefully! My commission is to ask you to investigate a missing person case that happened 15 years ago.]

[15 years ago——]

Although I have seen such content in the power of attorney, it still makes me feel sad to hear it from the client again.

Ordinary people don’t know the situation in the world of curses, nor do they know the characteristics of curse spirits and curses, but even those who have studied poetry for a month in technical high school know that one of the most basic characteristics of curse spirits is that the longer they live, the more powerful they are.

The longer the curse lives, the longer it is exposed to negative emotions, the more curse power it has, and the stronger its ability to manipulate curse power becomes. This is one aspect.

On the other hand, the longer you live, the more likely it is that cursed spirits will attack humans!

The cursed spirit is composed entirely of cursed power, which comes from the negative emotions of human beings. And no negative emotion is more intense than the despair of human beings at the moment of death.

This means that the more humans a cursed spirit kills, the stronger its curse power becomes!

A cursed spirit that has lived for 15 years - judging optimistically, its danger level will never be lower than level three!

Maybe it's a level 2 or even a level 1 terrifying curse spirit!

42. People who often eat Amomum villosum know that...

Yumazaki Yukiko continued to explain her commission.

According to her, there was a case of a missing child 15 years ago. Although it was quiet for a while, about 10 years ago, the disappearances happened again from time to time. However, unlike 15 years ago, the disappearances that began 10 years ago were not targeted at local residents. Most of the missing people were tourists who came here, including college students, middle-aged couples, and the elderly.

[Because the missing people are all from other places, some people here have evil ideas and think that they should just blame the police and not let such things affect local business - really~]

[This is really too much! ]

Gray Bear couldn't stand hearing this. He was full of anger and immediately expressed his anger at this behavior that disregarded life and safety. However, Yumazaki Yukiko crossed her arms over her chest, glanced at him and said, "You're right."

[Ahem, excuse me, Ms. Yumazaki. ]

Reigen is accompanying the trio as an assistant supervisor this time, which means that his abilities have been recognized by Ijichi Jiegao.

One month of training... Although their performance in spellcasting was still not up to the passing level, the location of the first-year trio's commission was at the seaside. Ijichi judged that a few explosions and noises would not be a problem, and the presence of an adult would help the trio to do their work better, and by the way, it could also train Reigen's own experience, so the matter was settled.

However, because Reigen initially wanted to let the sorcerer complete the communication as much as possible, and he also had the desire to let the young people gain some experience, he hid behind the trio and observed their performance. As a result, his good intentions led to his downfall - after noticing that the sorcerer was despised by the client because of his appearance, Reigen immediately realized that it was his own mistake.

Feeling embarrassed, he squeezed from behind the trio to the front. He wanted to save some points for his inaction just now.

[It has been ten years since the disappearance incidents started again. What made you decide to take the initiative to contact professionals to handle it? 】

Reigen calmly reminded Huiyuan Xiong that this Yumazaki lady was one of the local residents he despised for "doing nothing", "being a bystander", and "being profit-seeking". On the other hand, this question could indeed reveal more information.

Yumazaki Yukiko didn't have a good look on Reigen. [I just can't stand the stupidity of those guys~. Not only the local guys, but also the outsiders - have you heard about it? It seems that this place has become a famous psychic attraction on the Internet? It's really unreasonable! ]

[This is really…]

The Japanese have always been fond of topics related to the supernatural. It is better to say that the history of Japan is a history of coexistence with "spirits".

The rise of the Internet era, eight million gods, the worship of evil spirits, strange folk legends in various places, and the rise of the Internet era have not only failed to dispel the superstitious ideas in the minds of the people, but to some extent have further contributed to the spread of ghost culture.

Psychic attractions, psychic products, psychic programs, psychic masters - people and things that are attracted by all kinds of seemingly plausible phenomena and are not sure whether they contain supernatural powers, behind them is an entire industry chain with "psychic power" as the theme.

To put it bluntly: based on Ms. Yumazaki's description of the local insects who ignore the safety of outsiders in order to develop the economy, if this place really becomes a psychic attraction, it is conceivable that the locals will definitely not be unhappy. Instead, they will develop a series of supporting projects such as cultural products and courage tests with the psychic attraction as the core, right?

As for whether outsiders will really disappear?

Anyway, the missing person is not a local.

[Anyway, that's all I can say. The rest is up to you. I have something else to do. Contact me when there's progress.] Yumazaki Yukiko said hello and turned around. But she stopped as soon as she took a step. [That little girl, it's too dangerous, run! I don't know if the disappearances are really related to ghosts or monsters. If the police are really useless, it might be more dangerous for you than seeing a ghost? Then run to the villa on the mountain.]

Yukiko Yumazaki pointed in a direction and found that there was indeed a beautiful white two-story villa on the high ground of the town, some distance away from the beach.

Yumazaki Yukiko said this and turned away. The way she was dressed made people believe that she was jogging and stopped by to introduce the situation to the few people.

After Yumazaki Yukiko walked away, Nanami Kento sighed: [What an enviable life~]

Huiyuan Xiong was a little surprised. [Huh? Is this Nanami-senpai's ideal life in his later years?]

[As a sorcerer, it's pretty good to have such a life in old age, right? With money and leisure time, living in a small villa by the sea, drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, eating vegetable sandwiches and fried eggs after washing thoroughly, the sound of tableware colliding echoes in the clean and tidy room. At this time, turn on the TV, the news is good, and variety shows are also good. After breakfast and the show is over, change into special sportswear to tidy up your mood, jog along the streets next to the beach in the familiar town, and the acquaintances you meet on the road will greet you one after another——]

[Ah~~, after hearing what you said, I kind of yearn for this kind of life~]

Reigen Shintaka also nodded in agreement. The kind of refined life with money and leisure described by Nanami Kento was indeed the ideal life for an ordinary person like him who didn't have any lofty ideals.

[What about Kyomoto? How do you want to spend your later years? ]

[I...?] Shizi tilted her head slightly in disbelief. She didn't expect the topic would turn to her.

And...is there really such a thing as "old age" for those possessed by parasites?

...There's no need to say this to spoil the atmosphere.

Even though Shishi is introverted and not good at socializing, she knows that discouraging words should not be said casually when everyone is in high spirits. After thinking about it, Shishi changed her dream into an old-age version and said: [I hope to die surrounded by my family and friends - I hope to have many friends. ]

Want to have his own place to stay - the bug that devours dreams and turns ordinary people into parasites; one of the "original three" given to this super common sense bug, [Gluttony]! Albiore!

When the older woman with sunglasses and colorful eyes asked about Poetry's dream, Poetry's answer was this - she wanted to have a place of her own.

Song of Insect——

[Guo Gong] Yakuya Daisuke stared at the light screen closely.

Four years ago, Dongying, who had placed his dream on him at the end of his rampage, once said the same words to him, and his dream turned out to be exactly the same as hers.

Tachibana Rina was even more shocked after hearing the poem's voice! Because her dream on the surface was to build a shelter for all parasites, but in fact her deepest dream was the same as the poem's - she wanted a shelter of her own.

Two Fire Seed No. 1s, one Secret Seed No. 1 - the dreams of the three No. 1 designated parasite owners are exactly the same! If this were to be told, parasite owners researchers would definitely be curious about whether there is any necessary connection between "shelter" and No. 1 designation, right?

If you just say this to the three parties involved, Shizi, Daisuke and Rina will shake their heads again, indicating that their dreams are still somewhat different.

Although the words expressed are exactly the same, the way Anmoto Shishi realizes his dream is to search - to find a place where he can live, while Yakuya Daisuke hopes to realize his dream through continuous fighting.

Tachibana Rina is different from these two people. She has great leadership ability and her way of realizing her dream is to rely on herself and others to create her own place. However, because too many other people joined in the process, her dream has been deviated.

Unexpectedly, the friend she picked up by chance, the secret species No. 1 parasite carrier that she and her companions had been looking for, actually had the same dream as she did at the beginning!

"Poetry~~?(?> ? <)?"

Tachibana Rina feels like she has discovered a new hobby. Shishi says she can't stand Rina's sudden enthusiasm.

[What should I do next? Senior. Although I have listened to the client's explanation, I don't have any key information. ]

[Hmm~~, there really is no clue at the moment. What do you think, Mr. Linghuan? ]

[——Disappearances always happen when the weather is hot. Hot weather means there are many tourists, and they are disappearances rather than murders... I have a guess. I think we should focus our investigation on the locals.]

[Indeed. If they were killed, that's fine, but if they were missing, even if it was caused by a cursed spirit, it's unlikely that there would be no trace left.]

[Ah? No trace left? ]

【Haiyuan——】

[Ahahaha<(*￣▽￣*)/, sorry…]

[According to police records, there are currently seven missing persons, and five more missing persons cases may be related to this place. What they have in common is that they left no traces. No phone calls, no blackmail, no bloodstains... nothing.]

[From the perspective of spells, although I am still an amateur, it is obvious that this is a laborious task. So I want to take a shortcut - what do you think? ]

[Thank you very much, it is very valuable for reference. ]

[Locals, that is, those shops, right?! Ah, speaking of this, Nanami-senpai, Kyomoto-senpai, Mr. Reigen, are you hungry? Do you want to try the fried noodles over there?]

43. Sea House

Gray Bear led the three people to a well-decorated "Sea House" nearby.

The owner of the Sea House is a young man with a ramen-like hairstyle and wearing the Hawaiian-style beach shorts and dark button-down short-sleeves common among people doing business on the beach.

He is not tall and is rather thin. The large myopic glasses on his nose add a touch of gentleness to his ordinary face.

——But this person’s service attitude is unusually enthusiastic.

[Do all people at the beach feel that way? ]

Haibara Bear hadn't met many people from the seaside, so he thought that type was the standard for this type of people. Shizi felt that the owner had a sense of impatience that was forced to do this by the atmosphere of shaping the stereotype of Haibara classmate, just like the student in the class who obviously didn't like the popular show but forced himself to watch the entire show in order to keep up with the topic of his friends.

Gray Bear stuck the fork into the plate. After arriving at the Sea House, each of them ordered a classic fried noodles and a glass of ice water. But after sticking the fork into his mouth, Gray Bear frowned.

[It tastes terrible...]

Comparing the fried noodles he was chewing with the food Alice made, Gray Bear would curse himself for "insulting Alice like this"!

Even compared with the rather bland food he had eaten in the technical college in the past, this fried noodles ordered at Hai Zhi Jia was still too Hai Zhi Jia!

The sticky and indescribable texture, the sweet and salty taste can be clearly tasted more than twice in different parts of a noodle.

The sauce didn't stick to the noodles at all, and the texture of the side dishes was hard to describe... In short, it had a very beachy feel.

Ling Xuan also stuffed a ball of noodles into his mouth. He said calmly: [Didn’t a famous travel blogger say that eating fried noodles with a very sea-style flavor at the beach is also an indispensable part of beach fun—]

Ling Huan stopped eating. [It tastes bad...]

He was a man of rich experience. After he resigned because he couldn't stand the company's atmosphere, he changed jobs in various fields. However, he never thought that there would be a store that would sell such rough products.

[…Just like the residents of this town, eager for quick success. I guess the owner just thought that opening a shop would make money, so he hurriedly found some instructional videos on the Internet and then opened a shop.] This is what Nanami Kento thought after taking a bite of ramen.

By the way, Shishi thinks this noodle tastes pretty good.

Sweet, salty, chewy, and different seasonings give the side dishes a rich flavor and texture...but these flavors and textures are not expressed in a good way.

In the world of Insect Song, people who care about poetry feel heartbroken every day, and people who don't care about poetry feel that the way [Special Ring] treats people with disabilities is inhumane.

Some people with parasites envy the life of having a stable supply of food without having to do anything.

There are not many people like this, and they have come at a good time.

Because of the broadcast of the light screen, a large amount of information that was previously concealed by the [Special Ring] and blocked by the "Intelligence Team" composed of parasites who can manipulate network information was exposed.

Parasite carriers are no longer dangerous elements that only spread panic and violence in people's minds, nor are they urban legends that most people avoid.

People have a correct understanding of parasites, know their difficulties and experiences, and their attitude towards them has improved a lot. Some civil groups have even begun to discuss marches and demonstrations to protest against things like "innocent children being persecuted by the government and even subjected to inhumane human experiments."

Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma

The atmosphere at Totsuki Academy has always been very good.

Because as the representative of their world, Alice Nakiri's performance has always been remarkable, fully demonstrating the excellence of the elites in their world, and even in another world she still does not forget to study cooking.

So, just like what Senzaemon Nakiri had imagined not long ago, as long as the people being broadcast live on the light curtain behaved competently, the light curtain would be equivalent to a super-large political reality show.

If he hadn't asked his assistant to reject all calls, his phone would probably have been blown up by now.

Alice herself was also very satisfied with her performance on the light screen. As for the peers around her whose names she remembered, they all said "I would do this and that if it were me", but she just ignored them.

It has to be said that Alice enjoys receiving the envious and jealous looks from these peers who even she recognizes her ability.

Only Yukihira Soma, after seeing Shishi and the others' comments on the Umi no Yakisoba, showed expectation in his eyes, and even said something like "Is it really that bad?"... Could such a thing be more important than her "showing off her power" in the light curtain? !

The gray bear forced himself to poke the fried noodles twice more, and then stopped moving completely.

After all, the ice water was not too outrageous, so the gray bear sipped the ice water and soon the cup was empty.

It was he who suggested coming over to eat something, but the food gave them a bad experience, and the gray bear's face turned red.

He was just about to put down his fork, tell everyone to stop eating, and look somewhere else, but he saw the unscrupulous store owner leading two young girls in, obviously wanting to expand his "sales" by two more girls.

Gray Bear wanted to speak up at that moment. This had nothing to do with the youth and beauty of those two girls!

He just felt that in this situation, any man would take the initiative to crack down on the bad behavior of the black-hearted shop owner. This was a just thing to do! Ordinary people might be hesitant about this and that, but as a sorcerer, he would never remain silent about such an unjust situation!

Well! This has nothing to do with the fact that the two young and beautiful girls are wearing bikinis that are quite suitable for the beach environment!

[Don't speak yet, Huiyuan. ]
