Chapter 47:

"Is Roman still out now? It seems that something has happened to you. Although it's wordy to say, I hope you can come back soon. The dish has already been put in the pot and covered, if it's cold, remember to reheat it. Eat. Also, stay safe outside."

In the end, Yukawa didn't blame Roman, just urged him to go home early after finishing the incident, and even reminded Roman to pay attention to safety. The reason why he didn't call Roman was probably because he was afraid that doing so would disturb him.

Feelings of guilt arise spontaneously, and even at this moment prompted Roman to give up helping Maya Hachijiuji, and let him rush to Yukawa's side desperately.

But he couldn't do that, and he couldn't let go of the child in this situation anyway. He couldn't do it, and Yukawa didn't allow him to do it.

"I see." The hand holding the phone became even harder.

Yukawa once again used his know-it-all skills, as if he had built a library in his brain, and he could say anything he could find in the book.

"The sayings of Mi Niu are different in many places, but it has similar legends in various places in Japan. The prototype is the snail. But in addition to the snail accident, there are other sayings in some places. It is said that Mi Niu is actually a kind of ghost. ."

"ghost?"

Roman glanced at Maya of Bajiuji Temple with his head drooping beside him, and then glanced around, but did not see the existence of ghosts. Could it be that ghosts are the kind of ghosts without feet, but some people say that ghosts are actually unseen ghosts, but to judge whether the other party is a ghost, you probably need to see if there is a shadow.

But it was already night, and it was impossible to see the shadow unless you stepped under the light.

"A ghost like a child, a virgin to be precise. The ghost in a kimono who killed the traveler in the mountains, and the virgin who played with the children and took a child away after the end, these stories are in It's in the elementary school's Mandarin textbooks, and Roman should also... I'm sorry, I forgot that Roman is an international student."

"It's okay, there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing."

Rather than being an international student, it would be better to say that he never officially went to school before that.

"What these stories have in common is that the ghost - the fascinated cow will get in the way of anyone who sees her finding their way home."

"The way home?"

"Yes. The child who ran out of the house mischievously can't go home again, and the person who travels can't go down the mountain. Simply put, if you want to see the lost cow, you must want to stay away from the house, and you will never come back after being confused. No home."

"I understand, it means that people who don't want to go home can meet Mi Niu, but after encountering Mi Niu, they can't come back, right?"

"That's right. But it's actually quite simple to get rid of the fascination of the cow, because they usually stay nearby, more like earthbound spirits than ghosts, as long as they escape from the area where they are located. So when encountering When you are lost, you must run away, run to a place where you can never see a lost cow, or find a way to go home, because only those who don’t want to go home can see a lost cow.”

"Thank you Yukawa, you really know everything."

"No, I just know what I know."

Hearing the familiar and humble mantra, Roman smiled and said goodbye to Yukawa. But his expression was not very good, especially when he looked at Maya of Bajiuji Temple next to him, it became even worse.

Roman showed a reluctant expression and said, "Bajiu Temple, we may be in trouble."

Bajiu Temple Maya did not speak. In fact, it's not that "we" are in trouble, it should be said that "I" are in trouble, because Maya at Bajiu Temple is a fan of cows.

That was a long time ago, and if you have to calculate it accurately, it has been more than ten years. Somewhere, a couple who were once blessed by those around them finally chose to divorce. This was originally a very normal thing. Modern marriages are not like ancient times, and marriage is no longer a lifetime thing. The couple had a daughter and ended up with her father, but the problem was that the sympathetic father asked the mother to swear that she would never see her daughter again.

Whether it is divorce or the attribution of the daughter, or the mother's oath, these are without the daughter's opinion. But at that time, the daughter was still a child, how could she possibly understand what this meant? She only knew that her father forced her mother so hard that they were not allowed to see each other again, so her daughter hated her father just like her mother.

Two years later, when the only daughter was eleven years old, she was surprised to find that she could not remember her mother's face. Even if she hid her mother's photo from her father, when she looked at the photo's face again, the only daughter couldn't help but doubt her memory.

So in May of that year, the second Sunday was Mother's Day. The only daughter, hiding from her father, could not find a way to contact her mother, so she went to her mother secretly by herself. There was almost nothing, just packed the necessary and unnecessary luggage, and went out with the address note written on the mother's former residence, but in the end, no matter how hard she tried, the only daughter was still unable to reach her mother's house.

Because it was not far from arriving at her mother's house, a traffic accident occurred, and the only child was the victim of this traffic accident.

"That ghost is me, and I am the fan cow."

As if he was repenting, Maya of Bajiu Temple lowered her head and did not dare to look at Roman.

"So it doesn't matter if you leave me alone, because no matter how hard I try, I can't go back to my mother's house. I'm used to it."

Roman suddenly remembered the first sentence Bajiuji Mayo said to him: Please don't talk to me, I hate you.

That's not because Bajiuji Maya really hates him, but because she knows that if she follows her, Roman will definitely get lost. No matter how hard Roman tried, it was in vain in the end, because Roman met a snail who got lost, and Maya in Bajiu Temple was the snail itself.

I didn't eat the pudding I got. I didn't really think of eating it at my mother's house, but if I just ate it like this, it would appear to outsiders that the pudding was floating in the air.

He was looked at strangely when he asked passersby for directions, because all they could see was Roman talking to himself.

Only people who don't want to go home can see Mi Niu, but neither Roman nor Xiao Zi are ordinary people, the latter is a gap monster, and Roman is not a human at all.

The person who encounters and is bewitched by the buffalo is actually Roman.

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Roman blames me or yells at me, because it's all my fault."

Bajiuji Maya closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to be waiting for Roman's abuse, but what was waiting for her was Roman's touch.

Gently, like a father stroking his sleeping daughter, for fear of waking up his daughter, but he is reluctant to let go.

"Don't worry, I'll take you home."

Roman's face showed indescribable tenderness, and his eyes were full of pity and doting.

"Mr. Roman is really a lo*ic*n, right?"

"Shut up, this has nothing to do with lo*ic*n!"

"Just now, you clearly showed a disgusting face."

"Where's the disgusting thing?"

As a result, the atmosphere that was finally created was completely shattered. Does this kid have the title of "Atmosphere Destroyer"?

Roman glared at her fiercely, then fell back into thought. Now that you know that you are bewildered by Mi Niu and know the characteristics of Mi Niu, you should find a way to solve the problem. In fact, at this time, as long as you leave a little to find Oshino baa, the problem may be easily solved, but Roman denied this idea.

He has already decided not to touch weird things anymore, and now his wish is to live as an "ordinary human being". Even if he encounters weirdness, he will choose to use ordinary people's methods to solve it.

There are no exceptions to some things, because the first time something happens, there will easily be a second or third time, and the principle that was originally adhered to will soon collapse.

"Got to go."

"Mr. Roman, it doesn't matter if you come back tomorrow."

"It's a pity, my memory is actually very good. I will always worry about the things I haven't finished, even if I know I will do it tomorrow, but this will make me sleepless all night."

Standing up from the bench, Roman took another look at Xiao Zi who had been quiet. Although the gap monster is a very weak monster, but being raised so big by Roman, Xiao Zi is also a very special case. Maybe Xiao Zi has never been confused. Maybe, if so... Roman shook his head. , asking Xiao Zi for help is actually no different from asking Oshino Baa Baa for help, because they don't use the power of ordinary people.

Even if you only know how to desert in get out of class and play games all day, don't underestimate the person Romani Akiman.

"Mr. Roman...what are you doing?"

"As you can see, I'm picking up stones." Roman picked up stones, about the size of ping pong balls, which were easy to identify on the road.

When encountering a Mi Niu, it is easy to get rid of the Mi Niu's confusion, as long as you leave the Mi Niu's sphere of influence, because Mi Niu is a type of Earthbound Spirit. But the problem now is that Maya of Bajiu Temple itself is a lost cow. Those who want to lead the way to Maya of Bajiu Temple will definitely get lost, because Maya of Bajiu Temple who needs to be led is the one who cannot leave.

But what if instead of finding a way, you're looking for something else?

There is a very famous labyrinth in the story of ancient Greece - the labyrinth of Minos. It is said that no one has successfully cleared the level, but it is still not worth mentioning in front of humans who use tools well. Some people put wings on themselves, and some people hold ropes... And Roman's approach belongs to the second type.

King Theseus of Athens, with the help of Ariadne, walked into the labyrinth with a piece of thread at the entrance of the labyrinth. After killing the monster Minotaur in the labyrinth, he went back along the thread. Walk, and then easily get out of the maze.

After leaving Bajiu Temple Maya, Roman and Xiao Zi went to the address on the note, and placed a stone at each intersection, and asked Bajiu Temple Maya to follow the stone ten minutes later. In this way, Roman and Xiao Zi left the influence of the lost snail and found the right way, and Maya at Bajiuji Temple could easily find the road that Roman had traveled, because she was no longer looking for a way, but in Look for stones.

In just half an hour, the three of them met again. However, the cruel truth is in front of us. No matter how hard you try, no matter which method you use, the lost snail can't find her mother's home in the end.

The rezoned area has changed, the people here have moved away, and the redeveloped dwellings have become empty flats.

"How could this be?" Roman made an unwilling voice. He had already tried so hard, he had found the right way, and finally he succeeded in reaching the place on the note, but he still failed. If you can't see the mother of Bajiu Temple, is everything meaningless?

"Woooo... Mom..."

The sound of Bajiuji Temple's crying came from beside him, and Roman felt an invisible force grabbing his heart. He suddenly had an urge: he wanted to connect with Akasha, go back to the time when he hadn't re-planned here a year ago, and bring Bajiu Temple here to see his mother with his own eyes.

"Wow!"

Bajiu Temple Maya rushed past Roman, as if she saw her mother standing at the door waiting for her, and threw herself into the clearing.

The figure of the girl with the big schoolbag quickly and slowly blurred, and finally disappeared from Roman's field of vision.

--I'm back.

The gentle evening wind blows, bringing a little bit of coolness to the person, and the playful voice of Bajiu Temple Mayo seems to ring in his ears.

"Goodbye, Bajiu Temple."

PS: When the author was writing the manuscript, he was suddenly surprised: "Why does it feel more and more like romance?" Of course, it does not mean that the romance is not good, but this is an anime crossing class, and there are too many descriptions in the emotional line. Seems too cumbersome, well, water. But in the end, the author did not delete it, because this part of the emotional line is very necessary.

Unlike other books, the protagonist of this book does not have more than ten years of life experience at the beginning, but starts from scratch completely. If there is no emotional line, it would be strange, right? The difference is that it seems to be rewriting this part very much, that is, it is written very carefully. The main content of this volume is actually this aspect (see the volume name), and it will only improve from the next volume, Roman began to face it squarely. My own strength, emotional line... well, author-kun, I should be helpless. However, compared to the first two volumes, it will probably be "cool".

If you want to ask why? Probably because the author Jun I prefer pure love, prefer drama (→_→), and prefer psychological description of characters compared to storyline.

It is worth mentioning that this volume has cracks.

Chapter 95 Chapter 66 Romance Three Years Ago

Battlefield Hara Heiyi watched in shock as Maya of Bajiuji Temple disappeared in front of her eyes. It would be a shock to anyone to see a living person gradually become blurred in their field of vision, and then disappear without a trace.

The shock continued until Roman and Xiao Zi left. If they hadn't found out that they were coming this way, the crashed brain might have been unable to react.

She hid in a panic, hiding in a blind spot where the two of them couldn't see, and didn't come out until she couldn't see their figures.

On the way, when the two approached, Xiao Zi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Xiao Zi?"

"No, I'm a little hungry."

"Really? If you can't walk, Dad can carry you on your back."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhanyuan Heiyi felt that he might have been discovered by Xiao Zi.

But these are no longer important, the brain of the original Heiyi in the battlefield is still in chaos. Because she was afraid of being discovered, Zhanbahara Heiyi didn't get too close, and they didn't make much movement, so she didn't hear the call between Roman and Han Chuan, so she didn't know the fact that Hachikuji Mayo was a ghost. In fact, she didn't care anymore. Compared with the disappearance of Maya of Bajiu Temple, one thing was more important: she was deceived.

Maybe not cheated, maybe just concealed, but enough. Sometimes, there is no difference between concealment and deception. As long as it is done skillfully, concealment can completely deceive. The original Heiyi of the battlefield has encountered such a situation now.

Yukawa Tsubasa wasn't quite right. Maybe Roman was indeed waiting for Zhanyuan Heiyi to be disappointed in him and gave up his expectations for him, but it didn't mean that Roman didn't want to be able to help her.

The effort I saw just now will not be fake, even the long-term relationship is not as shocking as what I have seen in the past two hours. At the same time, Zhanyuan Heiyi also noticed one thing. Even if Roman tried so hard that he couldn't move, he was unwilling to use the power of the word spirit.

Keen, she felt that she might have been used, by the grinning tramp who seemed harmless to humans and animals. It's true that Oshino baa and Roman are friends, but they may not be pure friends, and the connection between the two may not be pure friendship.

"Oshino baa baa..."

The figure of Roman's efforts appeared in his mind. In any case, she couldn't believe that the idiot who could be exhausted and exhausted just for the first meeting was a slack.

She couldn't wait a minute longer, and if she couldn't figure out the truth right away, she believed she couldn't close her eyes tonight.

She caught the evening train. If it took too much time, Sadohara Kuroi would probably have to walk home with her legs tonight, but she took this train without hesitation. She was more concerned about whether Oshino Baaa was in an abandoned building now, rather than the means of transportation for the return trip.

She was lucky, Oshino Baa was lying in that classroom.

"Yahahahie, it's really scary, miss, are you going to kill me?"

Oshino baa's lazy voice sounded when Sadohara Kuroi entered the classroom. She never thought that the voice was so annoying.

Battlefield Kuroi raised the paper cutter in his hand and pointed at Oshino Baa, who was sitting up from the temporarily assembled bed, looking like he would rush over at any moment. However, compared to the girl's fluffy muscles, Sadohara Kuroi is more likely to project the knife like a dart.

"Tell me about Romani Archiman."

"It's very disturbing to say that there is no beginning and no end, Miss, this level of language trap is useless to me. But if you want to know about Brother Roman, I can still tell you what I know. , but before that, I still want to know why you are here."

Zhan Yuan Heiyi stared at him with burning eyes, and anger burst out from his cold eyes, but he finally calmed down.

Afterwards, Zhanbahara Heiyi recounted everything that he saw in the afternoon, including the meeting between Roman and Bajiu Temple Maya. The two kept looking for the address on the note and kept missing their destination. Bajiu Temple Maya ended up in the open space. Disappeared... I told Oshino baa all this one by one, without any concealment.

Oshino baa is no longer worth believing. Although he had already pointed out the way to drive away the heavy crabs to Shigahara Kurogi, Oshino Baaa was already the worst person just from the fact that she was used against Oshino Baaba's friend, Roman.

"Really? It should have been half a month, Miss Sister, you can almost find out."

Oshino baa actually made no secret of her use of Zhanyuan Heiyi, and almost made Zhanyuan Heiyi unable to control her hand-if it wasn't for the fact that she hadn't heard the information she wanted to know.

Oshino Baa took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out of it and put it in his mouth. This time, instead of just holding it as usual, he lit it with a lighter, ignoring that there was another one in the classroom. A high school girl who apparently does not smoke.

"The next words may be a bit long-winded, but you should listen carefully."

...

...

It's been almost three years now. Oshino baa recalled the first time he met Roman, and the past was still vivid in his mind. If Zhan Yuan Heiyi could see Roman two years ago, he would probably point at that person in disbelief and shout, "Who the **** is he!?"

Roman at that time was not as decadent as it is now, but when Oshino Baa first saw Roman, Roman was in a very embarrassing situation.

He was wearing a complicated and heavy white robe, and the style was incompatible with the clothes of the island country. With his conspicuous long silver-white hair, he could tell at a glance that he was a friend from a foreign country. At that time, Roman was already weak all over, and he also looked dusty, with an undisguised tiredness on his face. Later, during the conversation between the two, Oshino baa realized that Roman had been hungry for two whole days at that time.

However, someone like Roman who looked noble at the time and was used to being served, no one would sympathize with him, no matter how embarrassed he looked. Just like a beggar who goes begging with a big bowl of jade, no one will give him a penny.

Although Roman at that time was hungry and thirsty, and was so tired that he was almost unable to open his eyes, he still did not give in to anyone. Although he felt that he would faint at any time if he left it alone, Oshino baa chose to continue watching - it turned out that his choice was very correct, because what happened next made Oshino baa understand that Roman is not an ordinary person.

Having reached the limit, Roman chose to sell his robes, which is the kind of pawnshop where people who can no longer afford a penny go to **** shops. At that time, Roman just exchanged the robes for money. The owner of the pawnshop is obviously not a kind person, and the fabric of the robe is not a high-end product that can be bought for 30,000 to 40,000 yen, but the boss only gave Roman 20,000 yen in the end, because he saw Roman was cornered.

Roman, who didn't even understand the counter-offer, left the pawnshop with 20,000 yen. If you have been hungry for two days, you should at least have a good meal and find a place to rest, right? But Roman did not choose to do this, but chose to buy lottery tickets, the kind that has a very low winning rate, but as long as he wins the lottery, it is enough for a family to not worry about food and clothing for several years.
