Nakajima Rie was relieved to confirm that it was not a case. Just like what Egawa-san said, it was just rooster blood or dog blood. Even senior Yuzu couldn't be sure it was human blood. She was simply overthinking it.
but……
Perhaps it was a shadow in her heart that she still couldn't accept it. Nakajima Rie glanced at Shimizu Yuzu, who was carefully taking pictures of the magic circle without missing a single corner. She urged, "Yuzu-senpai, let's go after we finish taking the pictures."
Yuzu Shimizu looked up at Rie Nakajima. She was really not satisfied. The strange magic circle and the possible human blood filled her brain and made her excited.
It would be a huge loss if she left like this. She comforted Nakajima Rie, "Don't be afraid, Nakajima. Wait for me to investigate for a while. It would be a pity to leave now."
Jiangchuan checked the other rooms and found that there were no magic arrays in the remaining rooms except the first bedroom.
Another half an hour passed after Senior Sister Yuzu finished her investigation with satisfaction. Finally, she scraped off some dried blood from the magic circle with a knife and put it into a small bottle. Then she reluctantly said goodbye to them and prepared to leave the apartment building.
The strange point has been found, and other places are no longer worth investigating.
After leaving the apartment building, there were no taxis nearby, so they walked towards the city for a long time before finding a tram stop.
After returning to school, the club activity time was almost over. Senior Sister Yuzu would tell them the results of the investigation and analysis tomorrow. Jiangchuan and Sakurai Tong picked up their bags and left the activity room first.
As they walked along the street, Sakurai Tong had some things she couldn't say in front of Yuzu-senpai and Nakajima Rie. Now that they were alone, she frowned slightly and said, "Egawa-san, that magic circle is real. I feel like something strange has been summoned."
As a trainee in Tokyo's Oddity Countermeasures Department, it's impossible for the dwarf not to have noticed. Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "I thought so too, but I didn't detect any strange aura in that apartment building."
This was the result that Sakurai Tong least wanted to accept. The monster left the summoning place and ran to a crowded area. Thinking of this, it is very likely to cause irreversible consequences - the monster coming from below will not eat human hearts. This is about the same as the chance of winning the lottery jackpot, which is extremely small and almost impossible to happen.
This meant that the monster had already begun to act. Before anything more serious could happen, Sakurai Tong took the apartment room key out of his bag and tossed it to Jiangchuan Kaidao. "Jiangchuan-san, go back first. I'm going to the Tokyo Weird Countermeasures Division."
She still hadn't finished writing the report on removing the earthbound spirits from last night, so she went to the Tokyo Strange Countermeasures Department to report on the "Abandoned Apartment Building Summoning Array" and did it as well.
Jiang Chuan returned to the apartment alone. He finished today's homework first. About an hour later, he heard a series of footsteps outside. It was the dwarf who came back.
Sakurai Tong was in a good mood because she had received the bonus for her previous solo mission to eliminate monsters. Today she went to the Tokyo Monster Countermeasures Department to receive it.
The damn guy opened the door for her. Ying Jingtong took out a bulging envelope and paid out most of it before it was even warm. In order to avoid feeling heartbroken, she gritted her teeth and pushed the envelope into Jiang Chuanhai's hand and said, "Here's your money back. Count it quickly, and don't say I'm shortchanging you."
It’s not that Jiangchuan doesn’t trust Sakurai Tong. Although the dwarf is a little greedy for money, after getting along with him for a few days, he found that this person also has a good side. Since he has returned the money, it will not be less.
but……
There is a famous saying in China that brothers should settle accounts clearly. It is better to count money in person to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Jiangchuan took the envelope, opened it and counted it in his hands. There were eight new 10,000 yen bills and five 1,000 yen bills, totaling 85,000 yen.
It’s missing.
The dwarf should have given him 125,000 yen. There was no bonus for removing the earthbound spirit. Jiang Chuan hesitated and asked, "Where's the remaining 40,000 yen?"
Let's be clear about one thing. That was the bonus for removing the earthbound spirit and it couldn't be counted together with the repayment, otherwise she would be left with nothing.
Ying Jingtong blushed slightly and said, "I'll give you the rest of the money in a few days."
Jiang Chuan nodded. He also thought about the dwarf's current situation. The money was needed anyway, so there was no need to rush.
only……
Jiang Chuan had no money left after paying his tuition, and he is still a pauper.
Seeing that the hateful guy accepted the money, Ying Jingtong did not forget what she signed, so she asked Jiang Chuanhai, "Give me my IOU."
The dwarf still owed him 40,000 yen. Jiangchuan would not hand over the IOU easily. Before paying it back, he smiled at Sakurai Tong and exchanged the 85,000 yen IOU for one of 40,000 yen.
…
Early morning.
Yingjing Tong had another nightmare about "Sato-san, the child-eating man"—a strange, large face appeared in her dream, grinning from ear to ear, and suddenly, fiercely and angrily, said, "You bad boy who doesn't go to bed after ten o'clock at night."
shock!!!
Sakurai Tong was startled awake. The sky outside the window was just turning pale like yesterday. She couldn't sleep. Looking at Jiang Chuanhai who was sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but get angry.
Whose fault is this?!?
Sakurai Tong had nightmares about the urban legend "Sato-san who eats children" for two consecutive days, which made her feel bad. Could it be that it was really like what the hateful guy said, that the weird one couldn't tell her actual age?
It was not until the morning when the sky was completely bright that Sakurai Tong boiled water and made instant noodles. She was not in a very good mood. Anyone would feel the same if they didn't sleep well for two days, even if she was a person with special abilities.
Jiangchuan woke up and saw Sakurai Tong with a look of "bad mood" written all over his face. He was stunned for a moment. No one would mess with the dwarf, right?
Sakurai Tong was in a bad mood. She wanted to tell about her nightmare, but she was afraid that the hateful guy would laugh at her.
After much hesitation, she decided not to tell anyone for now. If the urban legend of "Sato-san who eats children" really came to her, Sakurai Tong wouldn't mind removing the weird face that scared her!
After eating cup noodles for breakfast, the two came to the private Qingcheng Academy together.
Before the first class in the morning, Jiangchuan went to the teacher's office and handed all the 85,000 yen that had been in his hand all night to his homeroom teacher, Kana Miyano.
The tuition issue has been resolved.
