Saturday.

Uesawa Miya and Yoshida Saki had already agreed on a time, saying that they would meet near the east exit area station in Ikebukuro at ten o'clock in the morning. At the urging of the extremely excited Kami-sama, Uezawa Miya set off from home at 8:30, at

We arrived in Ikebukuro around nine o'clock.

Ikebukuro is located in Toshima District, Tokyo. It is the most prosperous district in Tokyo along with Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Asakusa. In recent years, it has repeatedly appeared as the stage for TV series and novels, attracting the attention of many fashionable young people.

Ikebukuro is bounded by JR Ikebukuro Station and is divided into the West Exit District and the East Exit District. Uesawa Palace is now standing under the owl statue near the East Exit District subway station, because the Japanese word for Ikebukuro (Bukuro) is the same as the owl (Fukuro).

) has a similar pronunciation, so the owl is the mascot of Ikebukuro. In addition to this statue, owl-themed jewelry stores and cafes have been opened nearby.

Uesawa Palace was wearing casual clothes at this time, with a black jacket on his upper body. The black sunglasses on his face not only blocked the sun but also blocked his sharp eyes. Under the cover of the sunglasses, Uesawa Palace observed unscrupulously.

of the surrounding environment.

For Kamisawa Miya, Ikebukuro is a very strange place. He has never been here in his previous life, and his predecessor was not interested in it. Although Ikebukuro is also a large gathering place for two-dimensional enthusiasts, it is not as popular as the dead house.

Our paradise, Akihabara, is more female-oriented and more popular, and all kinds of people live here.

He used to be a fanatical death otaku, but he didn't like Ikebukuro. Although it was closer to home than Akihabara Ikebukuro, just because it was filled with the atmosphere of fujoshi that was incompatible with death otakus was enough for him to stay away on purpose.

here.

If the two of them have the only common understanding of Ikebukuro, it is the famous light novel "Hellless Horseman Chronicles".

The novel is set in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. It is a novel about a young man who yearns for the extraordinary, a gangster who loves to find trouble, a stalker radio girl, a young man who enjoys being an information dealer, and a secret agent who specializes in dealing with unusual patients.

A series of extraordinary urban group dramas unfolding with characters such as a doctor, a high school student obsessed with monsters, and the "Headless Horseman" riding a jet black motorcycle.

Like Uesawa Palace, many foreigners know Ikebukuro through this work, and it has become a holy place for pilgrims. Especially near the owl statue where Uesawa Palace is now located, many people regard this place as

Zuo is the place where we agreed to meet and take photos.

At this time, three or four high school students in school uniforms were crowding in front of Uesawa Palace, chatting and laughing.

These guys are so noisy... Kamisawa Miya thought this, frowned, and unconsciously smiled, tilted his head and folded his palms, making a crisp sound. He didn't mean to hit anyone.

I just felt a little irritated and suddenly wanted to do that.

The students in front were chatting and laughing happily, and suddenly one of them noticed the yellow-haired man behind him who was wearing sunglasses and sneered, as if he was getting impatient and was about to beat them up.

Could it be that this person is a member of the underworld? Did we disturb him?

Because Ikebukuro is not far from Shinjuku, it can be reached in five minutes by train. The cost of Shinjuku is too high. Therefore, many gangsters and gangsters gather around here. They hang out in Ikebukuro during the day and arrive in Shinjuku at night.

Moreover, as the reputation of "Hellless Horseman" became more and more popular, many people were attracted by the organization called "RS" in the original work. Some people deliberately restored and established this website on the Internet, and they were among the people in Ikebukuro.

Many bad guys joined in and called themselves "rs".

Just like in the original work, as long as you provoke a member of rs, it is likely that more people of rs will appear around you in the next second. Although most members are just passers-by who are interested in joining, it is inevitable that you will encounter people who like to take care of themselves.

Gang members who are nosy... Therefore, there is a saying on the Internet that you should never mess with anyone in Ikebukuro who doesn't seem to be easy to mess with unless necessary.

Seeing Uesawa Gong's yellow hair and the way he clenched his fist as if he was waiting impatiently, the man's body trembled. He thought he had met a gang member and quickly pulled his partner's arm to signal them to stand behind him.

The living person.

"Hey, keep your voice down, look at him..."

Perhaps because of the engraving, Uesawa Palace has added a kind of deterrence to men, especially for ordinary high school students. This deterrence seems to be constantly absorbing the oxygen around them, making them breathe harder.

There is a feeling of being out of breath.

The companions who turned their heads had the same thoughts as the previous person. They looked at each other, lowered their heads in unison, and walked to the left, leaving the position under the owl sculpture to Uesawa Palace alone.

What happened to these guys? Shangze Palace was completely unaware of his intimidation, so he just thought they wanted to change their place to rest and ignored them.

But, luckily, after these guys left, the air around me felt much fresher.

Uesawa Palace stretched, his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses curiously wandering around some people wearing strange costumes.

Ikebukuro is a famous two-dimensional holy place. Like Akihabara, people here wear all kinds of strange clothes walking on the streets every day. People here have long been accustomed to it. Especially on weekends, many home friends have made appointments online.

When I came to Ikebukuro "Mianji", there were more people wearing cos clothing.

Just at this moment, Uesawa Palace saw several cosplayers walking past him. There were bald men wearing metal armor, girls wearing magical girl costumes, pirates holding scimitars, and long swords.

A man in a trench coat with a long silver wig and a long blade...

Of course, as the home of "The Headless Horseman", there is no shortage of Selty wearing a black gelcoat, a black and yellow cat-eared helmet, and holding a huge black scythe.

Suddenly, among those cosplayers, a black-haired girl wearing black Gothic clothing and holding an umbrella noticed Uesawa Miya. After saying something to the companions around her, she handed the umbrella to the person next to her, excitedly.

He came to Shangze Palace and said politely: "Sir, please...can I take a photo with you?"

Is this person cosplaying a black cat?

Shang Zegong was a little surprised, but did not refuse, just nodded silently.

"Great!" The girl's voice became excited. She squatted down in front of Uesawa Palace, raised her phone high and pointed it at the two of them, so that their upper bodies were in the camera.

"Sir, can you put your glasses down a little and expose them... Yes, that's it. Please continue to maintain this crazy smile..."

Uesawa Miya also had nothing to do at this time, so he followed the girl's instructions and took a few photos with her. The other party took dozens of photos before he put down his phone without being satisfied.

"Sir, thank you very much." The girl bowed towards Uesawa Palace, "I am so lucky to meet a senior here who is very professional in terms of expression, movements and props and costumes. I will take these photos well.

Wash it out and post it on Twitter!”

After the girl returned home with a full load and happily left here, Shangze Palace finally came back to her senses.

Senior? What on earth is this girl talking about? You haven’t cosplayed any characters?

But, having said that, there are many yellow-haired men wearing casual jackets who meet this condition. Who knows who this girl thinks she is.
Chapter completed!
