Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Upon hearing this, Hatsune rushed onto the stage with a satisfied expression.

Behind her, the sirens of three ambulances faded into the distance, slowly disappearing around the street corner.

"Thank you to the organizers! Thank you to my sister for giving me time to play ball! I'm going to name this bicycle 'Headless Rider'!"

"So, Hatsune, you don't like sports? Then how did you develop this body that's been through so much hardship?"

"People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized."

In order to continue the conversation with Lin Yuanshan, Chu Hua had already covered every possible topic.

In short, she just didn't want to let him go.

But happy times are always short-lived.

The amusement park is closing.

How to do?

Want to take action?

Will I take it down directly with my invincible [Thunderbolt of Divine Severance]?

Once you take action, there's no turning back!

After struggling with the decision for a while, Chu Hua finally decided to let Lin Yuanshan go.

Anyway, he seems to have such a good relationship with Hatsune Miku, he'll definitely come again next time.

"Well then, see you next time, Lin-san."

"See you next time."

Lin Yuanshan left the amusement park and walked alone towards the subway station.

He glanced at the time; he'd gotten carried away chatting with Hatsune Miku.

If I walk, it seems I'll miss the last bus.

And as everyone knows, taxis in Japan are as expensive as space shuttles.

"Ring ring ring——"

A brand-new bicycle overtook him from behind.

"Look who I see! Could it be that someone got carried away out there and forgot the time, thus missing the last bus?"

Hatsune Miku, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and wearing a basketball uniform, rode on a bicycle with a cheerful and playful smile on her face.

So this is what the mascot costume was wearing underneath?

Yes, it's perfectly normal to wear breathable sportswear underneath.

Lin Yuanshan continued walking forward.

Hatsune Miku, however, caught him with a quick drift and then slapped the back seat hard.

"Get on board! Let me show you the power of my newly acquired Headless Horseman!"

Is your home on the way to the subway station?

"Even if it's not on my way, I'll give you a ride back. Get in!"

Lin Yuanshan's hospitality was too much to refuse.

Could this guy have deliberately chased after me to give me a ride?

"Wuhu---!!!"

Hatsune Miku pedaled the bicycle at speeds comparable to a motorcycle.

However, bicycles do not have the same shock absorption as motorcycles.

"Goose goose goose goose goose ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh~~~~"

Lin Yuanshan was jostled around in the back seat, making a goose-like noise.

Chapter 55 Let's welcome the next victim.

The Mujica sisters' daily meeting.

"Big sister, what do you mean by this?"

Xiangzi looked at the mountain of desserts piled on the table, somewhat puzzled.

For some reason, Chu Hua queued for a very long time today.

They bought a large number of trendy desserts that are usually hard to get and distributed them to their second sister, Xiangzi, and third sister, Mortis.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the three of us are closer than sisters, so of course I want to treat you better."

By the way, Hatsune Miku's portion has already been delivered by her personally.

After all, her younger sister was the one she felt most sorry for.

Xiangzi opened a bag of macarons, took two bites, and couldn't take any more.

This sweetness level would probably be very appealing to Lin Yuanshan if he came.

Just thinking about that name made Xiangzi's mood instantly sink.

Mortis, on the other side, was doing the same thing, silently munching on a cream puff with an empty look in her eyes.

Looking at them, Chu Hua felt even more guilty.

Miyamizu Shrine.

Aine sat opposite the shrine maiden Miyamizu Yotsuba.

She was still wearing the rope knot from Lin Yuanshan on her wrist.

She herself has taken back the one from Yutenji Temple.

“Miss Shrine Maiden, my friends often say that if you encounter anything unpleasant in life, you can confide in Chihaya Aine.”

"They also said that if you encounter problems in your relationship, you can go to Aiyin for advice."

"They always say that the sound of love can encompass everything, and is the holy sound of love that saves people from suffering."

"The guest seems unhappy, why not try looking for Chihaya Aine as well?"

"But I am Chihaya Aine."

Miyamizu Yotsuba fell silent.

After a moment, she carefully changed the subject:

"Are the guests here to fulfill a vow?"

"Yes, my lover, who promised to be with me for life, has disappeared, so I've come to return the knot to you."

"Uh, 'disappeared' means?"

"He died, or rather, he never lived."

Four-leaf clover: ? ? ?

"Wait a moment, let me ask our folklore consultant."

Because she had encountered a special guest and felt she couldn't handle it, she called her sister.

After saying "uh-huh" into the receiver for a while, Yotsuba finally put down her phone.

“Guest, the folklore consultant told me that the knot in your hand is still intact, which means the other person is still alive.”

"Impossible, I watched him disappear in my arms with my own eyes."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Aine's eyes.

Yotsuba insisted:

"Okay, I'll give you a demonstration."

As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of red string from somewhere.

Then, using a special technique, it was wrapped to create a knotted bracelet identical to the one worn by Aine.

Then she opened the shrine's offering box and pulled out a bunch of random things.

These days, young people who come to shrines to pray for blessings are becoming increasingly abstract.

You could say it has everything except money.

She casually rummaged through the contents and pulled out a Kobe Bryant trading card.

“Look carefully, I’m now setting the holder of the rope bracelet to Kobe Bryant.”

As she spoke, Yotsuba pointed the bracelet at the trading card.

With a "snap",

The bracelet broke in two without any external force applied!

After the demonstration, Clover looked up and asked Ai Yin:

What did you discover from the phenomenon just now?

"Are the knots in your shrine racially discriminatory?"

"Wrong!"

Yotsuba is a little frantic.

“It’s obvious that the knot is tied to the life of its master! When the master dies, the knot will break, but your knot is intact!”

Upon hearing this, Ai Yin looked down at the knot on her wrist that originally belonged to Lin Yuanshan.

Do such amazing things really exist in the world?

The shrine maiden's actions just now could be replicated by any middle school magic enthusiast, right?

But for some reason, Aine suddenly wanted to believe this clumsy scam.

Yes, Lin Sang is still alive.

He is still living happily in some corner of the world that she doesn't know about.

That's good, that's good.

She looked at the priestess in front of her, and a halo appeared behind her head.

This shrine maiden is such a kind person. She could have pretended to be stupid, but she still made up a nice story to comfort herself.

"Ah, rag!"

Yotsuba couldn't help but cover her eyes and said...

"If you still don't believe me, I can try to divine his location for you!"

"Hehe, thank you, but no need."

Aine gave a knowing look and smiled as she declined.

The divination result must be in some faraway place in a foreign land, right?

She appreciated the kindness.

"Ah!"

Lin Yuanshan sneezed.

At this moment, he was like a slacker, staking out near the high school in Shimokita.

He needs money.

This is the fastest way to make money.

Wait a minute, some people will definitely misunderstand and think he's going to do something really weird.

In fact, it is not the case.

In the fourth simulation, he obtained [Idol Development (White Quality)] and [Audio-Visual Production (White Quality)].

Although the quality isn't high, it's sufficient for my needs.

If he could find one or two exceptionally talented teenage girls in Shimokitazawa, the holy land of bands, he could use "debut" as bait to trick them into signing child labor contracts with extremely low wages.
