"What?" Oosaka Taiga immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, I want you to understand that I am not what you think." Shiki said in a deep voice: "For example, now we are going to look for the 'deceased' Miss Kashiwazaki Hoshina."
"Isn't she dead?" Oosaka Taiga looked puzzled.
"Just dead in the eyes of the world," Shiki replied solemnly, "I call this state, like death!"
The girl's expression became even more distrustful.
Chapter 287 Melon Bun
Because the situation was urgent, Shiki gave up his afternoon classes and sneaked away from Toyosaki with Oosaka Taiga.
"Didn't you eat enough just now?"
On the way, looking at the girl next to him who was munching on a melon bun, Si Ji couldn't help but ask.
The fried rice he made for the girl in the home economics classroom just now was a perfect portion for two people. He originally thought that she would not be able to finish it, but she not only drank it up as easily as a beverage, but she even had enough left over to buy two melon buns at the convenience store outside the school.
You should know that the melon buns in convenience stores around schools are different from those in dessert shops that are not much bigger than donuts. In order to cater to students who are growing during puberty and have huge appetites, the melon buns in convenience stores are made with solid ingredients and each one is as big as a small volleyball.
"No way, no way, no way! It's my freedom to eat as much as I want!"
Oosaka Taiga said coquettishly.
"Anyway, I'm not the one who got sick." Si Ji spread his hands indifferently.
But where the girl couldn't see, Si Ji looked thoughtful.
He checked the Puberty Syndrome Notes in the system inventory again, but there were still no records of Oosaka Taiga and Kashiwazaki Sena.
This made Si Ji start to wonder, was it because the situation was different from that of the previous three people that there was no record in the notebook now?
After all, before this, Sakurajima Mai was the initiator of everything. It can be said that it was Shiki's home visit that triggered the adolescent syndrome. Kasumigaoka Utaha underwent a personality change directly when he went to visit, and Takanashi Rikka was also able to suddenly see the deceased in front of Yamada the Fairy who was commissioned by Shiki to visit the house.
The onset of puberty syndrome in these three girls was strongly correlated with Si Ji, which led Si Ji to misjudge the conditions for recording disease information in the notebook.
In order to solve their symptoms first, Si Ji deliberately delayed looking for the remaining two people. Unexpectedly, the observer effect he predicted at the beginning was wrong. Even though he was not observing them, the two of them still suffered from adolescent syndrome in the end.
And perhaps because the onset of puberty syndrome in these two people has nothing to do with the four seasons, no new information appeared in the notes. Perhaps certain conditions need to be met before their records can be seen.
'Is Oosaka Taiga's puberty syndrome gluttony? After all, considering her figure, it's hard to imagine that she would eat so much in one go.' He glanced at the girl's still flat belly, thinking in his mind: 'Then can I cure her by giving her a super rich feast? It feels a bit tough...'
"Do you like melon buns?" He could only ask for the sake of conversation.
"Well, the crust is crispy, the dough is soft, and the filling is sweet. You can taste so many different textures in one kind of bread. It can be said to be a delicacy."
The girl nodded and answered without any change in her tone, but her speaking speed allowed Si Ji to be sure that this guy really liked melon buns.
"Compared to this, is the direction we are heading in really okay?" Oosaka Taiga asked, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be a..."
"It's a church," added Four Seasons.
"Hmm, why do we have to go to a place like that?" Oosaka Taiga swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked in confusion.
"Tenma Kashiwazaki... that is, Kashiwazaki Sena's father. In addition to being the school director of Toyonozaki, he also invested in some other schools. A relatively famous one in this area is called St. Cronia Academy, which is a typical church school. Before entering high school, Kashiwazaki Sena studied in the junior high school of St. Cronia Academy."
Si San Ji said calmly, "And Kashiwazaki Tenma himself seems to have an unclear relationship with Catholicism."
While Oosaka Taiga was choosing melon buns, Shiki certainly wasn't doing nothing. He retrieved some information about Kashiwazaki Sena from the database and finally came up with an obvious answer.
"The church in front is the only Catholic church nearby. If a memorial service is to be held before Kashiwazaki Sena's funeral, Kashiwazaki Tenma will obviously choose to hold it here."
"Are we going to a memorial service?"
Oosaka Taiga asked in surprise.
"No, the main thing is to confirm the condition of Kashiwazaki Sena's body." Shiki told the truth.
"You suspect something is wrong with the body?"
Oosaka Taiga's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found the answer: "What you said before about finding Kashiwazaki Sena is to wake her up from her suspended animation?"
"Of course not, why do you have such an idea?" Si Ji asked in surprise.
"..."
Oosaka Taiga stopped talking and just angrily tore into the melon bun.
Soon the two of them arrived at a solemn church. Usually, there were people in the church only during worship services, but at this moment, there were obviously quite a few people inside.
Si Ji and his friends just wanted to sneak in, but were quickly stopped by the guards.
Obviously, not just anyone can enter this memorial service.
While Shiki was still thinking about how to sneak in - it wasn't that it was difficult to think of a way, but there were too many ways and he didn't know which one was better - Oosaka Taiga had already pulled him around the guards and came to the back of the church.
That side is also blocked by a wall, and you can vaguely see some tombstones, but they are not human tombstones, but pets' tombstones. Those buried here are the pets of believers who often come to church to worship, probably hoping that their pets can have a better life in heaven.
"There is no door here. You have to go in from the front or the side door..."
After a little observation, Si Ji came to a conclusion.
"No need to go through so much trouble, we can just flip over!" But Oosaka Taiga said with a burning look in his eyes.
She took a few steps back, putting enough distance between herself and the wall, then took a sudden sprint to accelerate, and using inertia and momentum, she ran several steps on the railing. Finally, she hooked her hand and grabbed the tip of the railing, using it to roll lightly and flip over very calmly.
Shiki stared at her in amazement.
Is this true? This wall is almost three meters high. Although for the multi-talented Siji, this height is nothing. He can throw himself out of the world and it will be more than this high. But how can you, a little guy who is less than 1.5 meters tall, fly into the sky...
At this moment, Si Ji suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the child's physical fitness and strength.
Or is it that puberty syndrome has given her such super powers?
Chapter 288 Memorial Service
"Come up quickly!"
While Shiki was still in a daze, Oosaka Taiga was already urging him on triumphantly.
Si Ji thought about it and decided not to climb the wall like the girl. Instead, he found the locked side door not far away. With his superb lock-picking skills, he easily unlocked the lock and walked leisurely into the church, which attracted the girl's sad look.
Inside the church, where the mass altar was originally, there was now a huge black coffin. Flowers were spread around the coffin. The combination of black and bright colors gave people a poignant feeling - if there was no human figure in the coffin!
The priest continued to narrate the life story of the deceased girl as if he was unaware, and the guests sitting in the church listened devoutly.
Only Shiki and Oosaka Taiga were there just to make up the numbers.
"Did you see what's in the coffin?" Si Ji asked the girl.
"It's vague and doesn't feel normal." Oosaka Taiga frowned and muttered in confusion.
"I see……"
Si Ji touched his chin. From his own perspective, the luxurious coffin was completely empty.
But for Oosaka Taiga, there was something inside, it was just so subtle that it was blurry and unclear.
However, the real guests who attended the memorial service did not notice anything unusual at all. At most, they sighed that "God is jealous of talented people".
In Si Ji's opinion, these three states should be the three intensities of the mental pollution of adolescent syndrome.
Most people have no resistance and are easily influenced by mental pollution.
Patients with adolescent syndrome have a certain resistance to mental pollution and will not be assimilated so easily.
Si Ji, who holds the Puberty Syndrome Note, has the highest mental resistance and can almost be said to be unlikely to be affected by Puberty Syndrome.
That’s right, the empty coffin that Shiki saw was the real situation. There was no corpse inside, so the real Kashiwazaki Sena should not be dead yet.
"The good news is that it seems that Kashiwazaki Sena is indeed not dead. The bad news is that if we can't find her soon, the memorial service here will be over and the funeral will be next." After confirming this, Shiki said to Oosaka Taiga, "Let's go."
"Huh, are you leaving now?" asked Osaka Taiga in surprise.
"Now that we have confirmed that the other party is still alive, the next step is of course to find the other party's true body," Si Ji asked, "What else do you want to do? Wait for them to treat you to a meal?"
"It's not impossible..."
four seasons:"……"
Stop thinking about eating and cheer up, Oosaka-san!
After leaving the church, Oosaka Taiga couldn't help but ask, "Where should we go to find Kashiwazaki Hona? Her home?"
"If you put yourself in her shoes, do you think it's possible that Kashiwazaki Sena is at home now?" Shiki asked.
"I think it's very possible." The girl replied seriously.
"Because it's almost tea time, right?"
Shiki casually pointed out the girl's thoughts, and then he touched his chin: "In short, if Kashiwazaki Sena is 'faking her death', the situation should be different from Sakurajima Mai."
It is unlikely that a person would have two adolescent syndromes at the same time. That is to say, if Kashiwazaki Sena had been "dead", her real body should not be like Sakurajima Mai, who was invisible and ignored by everyone.
So the question is, if the Kashiwazaki Sena in the general public's perception is already dead, then what will her family think when her real body appears at home in an unrecognizable state?
"It can't be that bad, right?" Upon hearing Shiki raise this possibility, Oosaka Taiga, who was squatting in front of the vending machine to see what food was available, turned his head in surprise.
"It's a shame, but it is what it is."
Shiki put down his phone and said, "I just asked, and the Kashiwazaki family did call the police yesterday, saying that a strange woman broke into their house and refused to leave."
"Should we go to the police station then?"
Oosaka Taiga asked weakly, "It feels like I've been being led around by you the whole afternoon today."
"No need. I have already inquired with the police station. The person who 'illegally invaded' was a minor, so the police just criticized and educated her and then let her go."
"Wouldn't that be even worse? I wouldn't even know where to find her!"
Oosaka Taiga felt a headache coming on.
"Don't worry, it's actually not that bad."
Shiki seemed calmer: "For example, if you woke up one day and were thrown into a police station and criticized for no apparent reason, and became homeless after being released, and heard that a nearby church was holding its own 'memorial service', wouldn't you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course I have to go and see it... But it's been two days. If I wanted to see it, I would have already seen it, right?"
Oosaka Taiga asked in confusion.
After all, she and Shiki only spent less than twenty minutes watching the memorial service, and to be honest, there was nothing particularly worth watching.
"But that's not the case," Shiki shook his head. "As far as I know, Kashiwazaki Sena is just an ordinary girl. She doesn't have extraordinary strength like you. After her only identity is invalidated, do you think she can break into the church guarded by the gatekeeper?"
"It seems that it is indeed impossible... Then where is she now?" Oosaka Taiga asked: "Don't be so mysterious, can't you just tell me the answer directly?"
"Haven't I been giving you the answer to this question all along?" Si Ji said with a smile.
Oosaka Taiga looked at him with a very dissatisfied expression, probably thinking that Shiki had been playing tricks on him.
But soon, she realized something: "Wait a minute, where have you been taking me since just now?"
"Have you finally realized it? This is the answer..."
Si Ji moved aside so that she could see the sign behind her, which showed that this was a small park.
"Since she couldn't go home or attend the memorial service, she was exhausted, so she would subconsciously stay in the only place nearby where she could rest. As far as I know, excluding Fengzhizaki Academy, which she couldn't enter after losing her identity, the only place where she could stay was this small park."
As soon as the words fell, the two people who walked into the park saw a lonely figure on a swing not far away.
Chapter 289: Kashiwazaki Sena's Despair
Kashiwazaki Sena fell into despair.
Although she is not bragging, Kashiwazaki Sena believes that she is a person favored by God.
There is no need to say much about her appearance. The fact that she has been treated like a star by boys since junior high school speaks for itself. Even her studies have been smooth sailing, and she is always far ahead in her grade ranking. She has a good physical fitness as well. Her father is a school director, so not only does she not get bullied by the teachers, but she also receives some special care.
Apart from the slight regret of not having any friends, Kashiwazaki Sena believes that the so-called "perfect" standard refers to people like herself.
But later something unpleasant happened, so Kashiwazaki Hona did not choose to go directly to the high school department of St. Chronica Academy, but was admitted to Fengnozaki.
In the past two years, there have been many freaks among the students in Toyonozaki. Even though Kashiwazaki Sena's grades are still good and she would be ranked in the top three in other public high schools, she can only barely squeeze into the top ten in Toyonozaki. If she is not careful, she may even fall out of the top ten. Just maintaining her academic ranking has taken more energy than before.
And for some reason there are a lot of beautiful girls in Toyonotaki, including the third-year students Amakusa Shino and Kagamigawa Chloe, the second-year students Yukinoshita Yukino, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sakurajima Mai, the first-year student Shiina Mashiro and so on, all of whom are rarely seen beautiful girls in normal days... What's even more outrageous is that there is actually someone like Sawamura Spencer Eriri, who except for her modest breasts, has a blonde mixed-blood lady personality that perfectly overlaps with herself. She's even the award-winning ace of the art club, and is more competitive than an ordinary student like herself who doesn't have any other honors!
With so many people dividing the halo of the so-called beautiful girl, coupled with the fact that aesthetics is inherently subjective, Kashiwazaki Sena's fans are far less than when she was in St. Chronica Academy, and her status has dropped from "the center of the school" to "an ordinary class celebrity".
Of course, this is not completely unacceptable to Kashiwazaki Hona. She gave up the opportunity to go directly to the high school department of St. Chronica Academy and chose to take the entrance exam for Toyosaki in order to avoid her original classmates and reduce her own attention.
