The commercial street covered with sunset is spacious and clean.
The scent of takoyaki and crepes fills the air.
This commercial street is relatively close to Hualing High School. After school, high school students wearing student uniforms can often be seen here.
A clothing store on the roadside.
Four high school girls pushed the door open and walked out.
Three walked in front, chatting and laughing, and one followed not far away but not close, silently.
The three girls in front were dressed very smartly. They all had nice makeup on their faces and wore necklaces, rings, earrings and other beautiful decorations.
The one following her had a slightly immature makeup technique and an ordinary appearance. A pair of slightly rustic black round-framed glasses took up most of her face.
This girl’s name is Ishino Sayuri.
The first impression most people have when seeing Ishino is the devices on her ears that look like earphones.
That's a hearing aid.
Sayuri Ishino has a serious hearing problem, which is congenital. Without the help of instruments, she cannot hear the sounds around her clearly.
Wearing hearing aids to live and study since she was a child makes her particularly special among children of the same age.
No one else has it, only she has it.
That would seem too abrupt and out of place, wouldn't it?
"Sayuri!"
A girl named Sha Hui who was walking in front turned around and called her loudly.
"Yes." Ishino responded and immediately took two small steps forward.
The hearing aid on her left ear made a subtle electric sound.
This hearing aid has occasionally experienced this behavior in the past two days. It is probably caused by aging parts or poor internal contacts.
When you have time, maybe you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
"Sayuri, my boyfriend plans to have a courage test at school next Wednesday night. Go to the women's restroom on the third floor of the west teaching building where Hanako is said to have appeared. Do you want to join us?"
Sha Hui said this, the "H" shaped pendant on her chest was shining brightly.
"Well, I..."
Ishino himself doesn’t want to go.
A deserted campus at night, a toilet that is said to be haunted.
This kind of thing is scary no matter how you think about it, right?
But she didn't know how to refuse. After all, this was Sha Hui's initiative.
Kawano Sae, she is the most popular girl in the class, and the other two girls she plays with are similar.
The ordinary, even a little rustic Ishino Sayuri followed them, just like a gray, dirty little country dog following a bright-colored pet dog.
Abrupt and unsociable.
But even an inconspicuous little native dog is still longing for a friend.
As long as you can be friends with Sae and the others, you will be like them, right?
Become a popular girl, receive love letters in the shoe cabinet, and hear confessions by the artificial lake.
As a girl in adolescence, who wouldn’t yearn for these?
"Come together, Sha Hui's boyfriend will bring a handsome guy from their class." The remaining two girls shouted in support.
In fact, the so-called courage test conference is just like this.
Who really cares if someone is braver in a dare test?
Will not.
Boys and girls in adolescence just want to use the name of courage to have sex with the opposite sex in places that are said to be scary and gloomy.
In a scary and hormonal atmosphere, there are reasons to hold hands, hug, and even exchange feelings through the influence of the suspension bridge effect.
"Actually, I..." Sayuri was still hesitating.
"Sayuri, if you didn't come, we would be very lonely." Sha Hui interrupted her with a smile.
"Yes, yes." The other two girls were also enthusiastic.
"Then I...I will come." Ishino Sayuri finally bit her lip and agreed.
There is still no way to refuse Sha Hui and the others.
Seeing Ishino nodding, the girls all laughed.
The rays of light gathered, and the four female high school students faced the dim light and walked towards home.
Kawano Sae and the other three were still in front, chatting and laughing all the way.
Sayuri Ishino, who was wearing a hearing aid, followed closely behind, like a gray puppy.
Abrupt and unsociable.
…
early morning.
Strange talk about the world.
The north area of Hualinggui School, outside the teaching building.
Kamiyakawa held the [blood-stained hatchet] and tiptoed towards a lone headless DK who had his back turned to him.
In the past few days after acquiring the Noble Phantasm of Duicheng, Kamiyagawa has almost figured out the habits of the Xiqi boy in the school.
Although these monsters have no eyes or even heads, they have similar vision.
To put it simply, approaching them from the front has different effects than approaching them sneakily from behind.
If you look at it from the front, you will be noticed by the Xiqi Boys from about ten meters away.
But if you go through the back door, as long as your movements are gentle enough and your posture is low enough, you can get up to three steps away without being noticed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The headless DK who was alone was crying with the vocal organ hidden in an unknown part of his body.
As he cried, he finally became aware of something strange directly behind him.
At the moment it was about to turn around.
The Kamiya River, which had been close to the extreme distance, suddenly surged!
With the help of the physical coordination improved by training in "Nodachi Self-Revealing Style", Kamiyagawa grasped the handle of the hatchet tightly with both hands and thrust forward with one lunge!
The bright blood-stained knife tip pierced the skin, penetrated into the Xiqi boy's lower back, and hit the kidneys!
The weapon effect called [Kidney Strike] brings a huge amount of additional damage!
"Uuuuuu——"
The empty skull cavity of the Xiqi boy let out a subtle scream, which twisted into gray smoke and dissipated without a trace.
It's like it never existed.
[Kill the Xiqi boy and get 2 soul crystals!]
A text prompt pops up on the phone.
This is a one-hit kill!
"The bloody hatchet, the novice god!"
Kamiyakawa sheathed the knife with a slight complacency, and looked for the next lone target.
In fact, as early as the day after he bought the excellent weapon [Blooded Hatchet], Kamiyagawa happily entered the game to test the damage——
He first took a hatchet and went to find the headless JK in the cherry blossom forest, and continued an honest 1v1.
This solo was very successful.
The hatchet is not a wooden stick. Every slash can cut into the flesh.
Although in terms of length, there is a huge difference between the short hatchet and the nodachi, Kamiyagawa did not fully display the strength of his skilled level [nodachi self-evident style].
But it was still usable, and after only being scratched four or five times by the headless JK, he finished killing this old enemy.
After losing the lottery, he even had the energy left to fight off two lone headless high school students, harvesting a total of 6 soul crystals.
Finally, in the fourth battle, due to lack of physical strength and vitality, he was defeated with regret and was offline in shame.
