Chapter 26:

I haven't come for a while, but I didn't expect the boss to recognize him. It has been almost two months since the last care.

"Is it still the usual char siu ramen?"

"Have a big bowl, I'm a little hungry today."

Roman just remembered that today's lunch time is a bit early, and the portion is not much. However, the quality was unexpectedly high. Sanae's cooking was much more refined than usual, which made people wonder if she had been preparing since the morning.

"Brother Roman, this way!"

Roman was about to find a seat to sit down, when the shouts in his ears made his body movements froze suddenly.

"Why are you here?!"

"It's fate and arrangement, Brother Roman."

Fate is unfair.

In the corner of the ramen restaurant, there was a sloppy uncle, not because of how dirty his body was, but because he looked like an unorganized lazy man. The short hair on the head stood up like barbs, and there were obvious traces of hair dye. He was wearing an out-of-time Hawaiian shirt with the buttons on it loosened, giving him the feeling of a bad uncle. A cross of the same style as the earrings hangs around his neck, making him look nondescript.

Isn't this Oshino or who?

Of course, it doesn't really matter who this person is, what matters is that the big bowl of ramen placed in front of him has been eaten clean, and he doesn't look like he has the money to pay.

Could it be that today is my unfortunate day?

"Why does Brother Roman look like 'it's unfortunate to meet him'? Didn't he always help pay for it readily? Or is it that our friendship can't stand the test of two months?"

"If you say 'friendship = pay', let's be friends. By the way, please pay me back the money you owe before that."

Too careless, I should have thought about it from the moment I stood at the door, every time I came to this ramen restaurant, I would encounter this free-spirited homeless man by "coincidence". Roman chose this ramen restaurant because it was cheap, but he had to pay for two people every time he visited. It's just that two months have passed, and Roman also forgot about these "coincidences", so he was caught off guard again and was "taken" again.

"I really doubt if you have mastered my whereabouts, and waited for me to pay every time. Aren't you afraid that the boss will shoot you out?"

The ramen master, the boss, is a muscular man who is two meters tall and weighs more than 250 pounds. Don't look at his amiable personality, but Roman has seen him throw out the three troublesome thugs.

"How can I be so clever, but every time I think 'Brother Roman, come and pay for it' so that Brother Roman will appear."

—Have I reached the point where I am always on call?

"Brother Roman's complexion looks good, did something good happen?"

"I'm out of money, so lend me a few."

- It's better not to have to pay it back.

But that being said, Oshino baa still has to pay for it, and Roman can still afford it.

"I haven't seen you for two months. I thought you had left the city."

"It's really strange to say this from your mouth. Maybe I'll leave here someday, but at least it won't be recently. And I've been at the cram school. Brother Roman doesn't seem to have the habit of visiting friends."

Is not this nonsensical? If you can stay at home, who will go out?

Soft blankets, laptops that never stop, sweet and sour orange juice, and everyone from Gensokyo, this is the best life.

That's right, this kind of living at home without going out is simply long live!

When you don't have to run around for life, you must live a dream life without leaving home, right, Princess Kaguya.

"Is Brother Roman working at the shrine recently?"

"That's right, how did you see that?"

Oshino was surprised that Roman was working at the shrine, but it was reasonable. As an expert on weirdness, Oshino Baaba studies paranormal phenomena, and gods are within the scope of "weird". Just as he was able to see at a glance that Roman was possessed by the "gap monster", Oshino Baa could also easily see that Roman was in contact with the shrine.

"Brother Roman has the breath of gods on his body, and it's not as simple as ordinary worship. This kind of strong belief... Unless you have direct contact with gods, you should stay in the shrine for a long time."

Those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are dark, people will subconsciously learn from the people around them, and will gradually be assimilated by the surrounding environment. With people with good personality, people will become quieter, and they can learn to control their original temper no matter how irritable they are. In the same way, people who hang out with gangsters all day, if they don't leave this group, they may not be able to do anything in the future.

Compared to Roman Reigns a few months ago, his body no longer has the aimless daze. Although he looks more lazy than before, the most important thing is the smell on his body. Faith, or holiness, is what Oshino Baaa smelled from Roman.

PS: This is an additional update achieved with 3000 recommended tickets. Speaking of which, the previous condition for adding more updates was that the monthly ticket of 50 yuan was recommended for 500. As a result, everyone felt overwhelmed with enthusiasm, so I decided to increase some requirements here. The monthly ticket is increased by 100 and the recommended ticket is increased by 1000. It is Jiangzi. I hope everyone can continue to support the author.

Chapter 56 Chapter 22 Pong friends, do you know the heavy crab god? (Down)

"Does it mean that everyone who enters the shrine will have faith in them?"

"How is that possible? In the end, it's just the level of 'smell'. It's like the smell of ramen on the clothes of people who enter the ramen restaurant. The longer the time and the closer they are, the stronger the smell. After leaving the ramen restaurant, the smell will be stronger. , the ramen noodles on the body will become weaker and weaker, and people with a keen sense of smell can tell which flavor of ramen you are eating as soon as they approach.”

"It turns out that I have been working at the shrine for almost two months."

However, Roman did not tell Oshino baa that he did not visit the shrine every day. Especially in the recent period of time, I often go back after a day or two, and only when I was driven out by Yuchuan in the past two days did I continue to help. Roman thought this was irrelevant information, but if Oshino Baa knew about it, he might be able to learn the secrets about Moriya Shrine.

"Oshino, what is the Heavy Crab God?"

Roman did not ask the question, "Do you know the God of Heavy Crabs?" The person in front of him was an expert in weirdness, not an ordinary fan of supernatural legends.

As he thought, Oshino Baa gave the answer he hoped for.

"Heavy crab? It's not a strange thing to deal with. Accidentally, Brother Roman seems to often encounter interesting things."

Oshino baa smiled, and then habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Hey, this is indoors, don't smoke here."

"Sorry, sorry, as long as I talk about weirdness, I can't help it."

This is Oshino's baa habit. Just like some people stomp their feet when they feel anxious, and make fists when they feel nervous, and Oshino Baaba usually smokes while talking about weirdness. It's a pity that this is a ramen restaurant, not an abandoned cram school where he lives temporarily.

"It is a folklore in the mountains of Kyushu. Depending on the region, heavy crabs are also called heavy stone crabs or heavy stone crabs, and there is also a saying that heavy stone gods, in this case, crabs and gods are linked together. Although there are various details There are various differences, but the one thing in common is that it can make people lose weight. If they meet—unfortunately, the sense of existence of the person involved will become thin, I heard that it is like this.”

"It is said that?"

"Yeah, I haven't been in contact with heavy crabs, I just heard about it."

Oshino baa breathed out heavily, like puffing out nicotine while smoking.

"You just said...'sense of presence', right?" Roman captured the more important words in Oshino's words just now.

"Let's not talk about existence, there have been cases where existence has disappeared. Although there is a similar name like heavy stone stone in the central region, it is a completely different system. There is a Stones, crabs here."

disappear. It means disappearing. For humans, disappearing because of heavy crabs means disappearing physically. The difference from death is that there will be no corpses and will not be remembered, because before disappearing, the sense of existence has been taken away. gone.

"Ah, it's just like the 'gap monster' on you, but it takes ten or eight years for the heavy crab to disappear, but it may take a lifetime for the 'gap monster' to disappear, and it may even be destroyed at any time. Kill. Compared with the heavy crab, the 'gap monster' is a harmless weirdness."

The 'gap monster' on your body?

Roman felt amazing that the gap monster on his body was still alive. Although he is an ordinary person now, he who has communicated with Oshino Baaba knows more or less about the things over there, at least he knows the role of shrines on the weird, weak monsters like the gap monster, maybe He was kicked out of his body when he got close to the shrine, and then died in the sun. The shrine itself refers to the place where the gods live, and it has been endowed with the characteristics of the gods from the moment of its establishment. There is no need for the existence of gods, it is enough to put down a statue and let everyone know which **** it is.

So the reason why he has been alive is because of Roman?

"You raised it well." Oshino Baaaa seemed to have a toothache when he said this. He is an expert on weirdness. He understands weirdness, cures weirdness, and avoids weirdness from harming human beings. This is what he often does as a weirdness expert. As a result, seeing someone using his own body to breed weirdness makes him feel very awkward.

"If I hadn't known about it early on, I would have thought that the 'gap monster' on you had disappeared. Don't you work at a shrine? Or is the shrine you work in that doesn't even have a single pilgrim, or that shrine There is no worship of the gods at all?"

"Almost, not a famous god, and the location is in the suburbs. My job is just some chores, cleaning the courtyard and so on."

Roman can already be sure that the "gap monster" in his body is still alive because of his protection. His body blocked the shrine's expulsion of the "gap monster", allowing the weak "gap monster" to continue. alive.

"Don't say this, about the heavy crab, can you cure it again?"

"Heavy Crab God, no matter how weak it is, it is still a god, not a monster. It's wrong to use the term 'governance and retreat'."

Speaking of his professional topic, Oshino baa also became long-winded. Maybe there is a difference between them, but Roman couldn't distinguish these surprises at all.

"Since ancient times, gods have been shaped by human beliefs. The gods of agriculture, the gods of guardians, the gods of rivers, these are the existences that were born with the hope of human beings, and they appeared to make human beings better. In a sense, the gods have always been on the side of humans. That is to say, the gods have been helping humans."

"You mean, taking away weight and making humans disappear, is actually the heavy crab **** helping people?"

This statement made Roman unacceptable. No matter what kind of result it is, it will be harmful to human beings. If the gods are really helping human beings, they should not let people disappear alone.

"So, let me talk a little bit, let's start with what kind of **** Chongyan is. Different from the general gods that appear because of belief, Chongyan is more like a **** born because of legends. This kind of **** does not have The entity, but it does exist. To be precise, it is everywhere. After all, rumors have no geographical boundaries. However, the heavy crab itself has no consciousness, it just exists, does nothing, can't harm people, and also It can't attack people, and it can't be possessed. It's considered an outlier in the classification of gods. But the reason why it is classified as a **** is that it has the ability to fulfill certain wishes."

"Wish come true?"

"Yes, wishes come true, and only these wishes can be realized." Oshino baa stretched out his finger, pointed at Roman's forehead, and said with a serious face, "At the cost of 'weight', take away the wisher and want to abandon it Whether it is happy or sad, as long as you don’t want to ask for it or want to forget it, you can summon the heavy crab with this intense desire, and then hand over the unwanted feelings to it, but the price is —"

"Weight?"

Roman now understands what the Heavy Crab God is, and also understands what happened to the girl Kanako spoke of.

The girl who didn't even know her name summoned the Heavy Crab God with her own wish, and handed over the unwanted feelings and memories to the Heavy Crab God, but as a price, her weight was taken away by the Heavy Crab God. But I don't know the reason, or I want to get back that feeling, or I feel that losing weight is not worth it, the girl wants to get her weight and memory back.

"In general, the heavy crab is a kind of 'barter' god. It will carry the wishes of the wisher, but it will take away the wisher's weight."

"I want to know how to expel... how to get back the feelings and weight that were handed over to the Heavy Crab God."

"Isn't it just a word for you?"

"..."

The ramen restaurant Oshino baa fell into silence at the words.

Although there were still people whispering, the low air pressure emanating from the two of them swept the ramen restaurant, which was not a big one.

Roman and Oshino Baaba looked at each other, and unlike Oshino Baaba, who had an inexplicable smile on his face, Roman couldn't see any emotion on his face. But from his usual smiling face as a comparison, he should not be happy now.

"Oshino, you know, what I need is a method that ordinary people can use."

"Ah, I know, 'Use ordinary people's methods for ordinary people's affairs'. I know your principle, but you are not meeting ordinary people now, are you?"

Oshino baa's smile was very mean, and it looked a little malicious.

PS: The old sword is new in the Japanese server. According to the voice, Merlin in the old sword world is a woman. The script is perfect! Right, Merry-chan. Here, I wish everyone who played the Japanese server to ship, this is the only five-star male sword.

Chapter 57 Chapter 23

In the third year of high school, high school sophomores need to be reclassified. Very fortunately, Roman and his only acquaintance at school, Yukawa Tsubasa, were once again assigned to the same class.

In fact, when he knew that he needed to be divided into classes, Roman's heart was always uneasy, and he was relieved until the results of the classification came out.

Roman cares about Yukawa, not only because she is Roman's only friend at school, but also because the relationship between the two is unprecedentedly close. If possible, Roman hopes that the intimacy between the two can be maintained forever.

After class, Roman and Han Chuan, who did not join the club, left school early. Roman went straight home, while Yukawa Tsubasa came to Roman's house after a trip home.

This is not the first time this has happened. After Han Chuan came to Roman's house for the first time, he would come every two or three days, no matter if it was a holiday or other time, even more frequently during the holiday.

Since being addicted to online games, Han Chuan has officially started to take care of Roman's daily life. Although Roman once told Yukawa that she didn't need to take care of him like this, she was finally rejected. Roman did not continue to reject her plan, because he really needed someone to take care of him. After a few months, until now, Roman felt that he could not do without Yukawa.

After the doorbell rang, Roman didn't even look at the person outside the door, he unlocked the door and ran back to his original position.

Sitting in a chair, fingers crackling on the keyboard, online games always take away his attention.

"It's so rude, Roman, you should see who it is at this time."

As soon as she entered the door, the person who came came started talking about sermons, but after looking at Roman who was unresponsive, she could only sigh in the end.

She wears a pair of large-frame glasses, and her hair is tied into three braids, and she looks like a village girl from a certain country.

Since two years ago, Han Chuan seems to have not changed much, no matter how crowded the place is, you can find her with just a glance. In this era of popular runaways, the trend is like an ocean wave, pushing in wave after wave, and then exiting wave after wave. People like Tsubasa Yukawa who maintain a rustic image are no different from rare animals. .

I've never thought about dyeing my hair, and I've never changed my hairstyle. Although he can get along well with his classmates in the school, he can be regarded as a well-rounded character, but the only person who can really be regarded as intimate is the hidden character Roman. In fact, Roman thinks that if Yukawa Tsubasa is willing to do a hairstyle and take some time to put on light makeup, he can definitely change his image of a village girl and become a beauty who can attract attention wherever he goes.

"Roman, are you listening? I'm going to be angry."

"Hey, welcome back, Yuchuan." Roman said without looking back, his eyes did not leave the computer screen, and the movements of his fingers did not stop at all.

"It's not 'welcome back', it's 'you're here', this is not my home..." Yukawa's voice became more and more thin, and then he glanced at Roman and found that he didn't notice, and didn't say anything. .

But just when she thought she would accept it like this, Roman, who was still playing games, spoke up.

"What does it matter? Even if Yu Chuan regards this place as his own home, I don't think it is any different from Yu Chuan's home."

"It can't be my house! I'm going to get angry when I say that."

"Hi hi."

Roman's perfunctory words made Yuchuan feel that she was wasting her energy, but to be honest, what she said just now really touched her heart.

As Roman said, even if Han Chuan regards this place as her own home, it's okay to make her admit that this is her and Roman's shared home.

Dinner was curry, of course, made by Yukawa. If Yukawa didn't come, Roman would use instant noodles to solve his dinner, and then spend the rest of his time on online games. The study of the third year of high school is very heavy. After graduation, whether it is preparing for work or going to university, people who want to graduate need to study hard, especially students like Roman who have been hovering at the pass line, they should spend more time Right in learning.

It's a pity that since the contact with online games, both study time and work time have been completely abolished.

Dinner is curry, which is one of the dishes that Han Chuan cooks the most and one of Roman's favorite dishes.
