There is a half-day class on Saturday and school will be over at noon, but club activities will continue. Nakajima Rie called out to Sakurai Tou while holding her backpack, and stood beside him with a smile on her face.
The purpose was self-evident, and Jiang Chuan had no reason to refuse. He packed his bag, and the three of them went to the Weird Research Agency together.
Senior Tao made tea for them and served them some snacks. Sakurai Tong started eating without hesitation. Jiangchuan glanced at Nakajima Rie and asked about her behavior yesterday, "Is Nakajima-san afraid of strange events?"
Being discovered, Nakajima Rie didn't hide it with embarrassment. She smiled and replied, "I'm not good at dealing with weirdness."
He was just a little curious. Now that Nakajima Rie had directly admitted it, Jiangchuan asked again, "Why did Nakajima-san join the Weird Research Club?"
"Fear and liking something don't conflict," Nakajima Rie explained. "There are some people who, the more they fear horror movies, the more they enjoy watching them."
Such people do exist, driven primarily by curiosity. Jiang Chuan nodded in understanding, but the dwarf had already warned him of one point. He hesitated for a moment and reminded him again, "Mr. Nakajima, investigating strange things can bring disaster. If you're afraid, it's best not to continue investigating."
“That’s indeed the case.”
The voice came from the main seat, and Jiangchuan knew who it was without thinking. Speaking of weird, Senior Sister Tao and Senior Sister Yuzu exchanged the use of their bodies.
"but."
The owner of the voice immediately became excited again and said, "If there really is something strange, then I want to see it with my own eyes, but so far, I have only found relevant clues."
Jiangchuan greeted Senior Yuzu, and the other two did the same.
He and Sakurai Tong had reminded that if senior Yuzu and Nakajima Rie didn't take it to heart and insisted on continuing the club activities, Jiangchuan would not say anything more.
You reap what you sow. If something strange really happens, it is your own choice.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he put down the teacup and continued, "In addition to the magic circle and bloodstains found in the abandoned apartment building yesterday, I found new clues."
Sakurai Tong stopped putting the snack into her mouth, looked up at Senior Youzi, and asked, "What's the new clue?"
"I used my computer to hack into the surveillance cameras in the surrounding inhabited areas and found an interesting video while searching through the storage records."
Qingshui Yuzu took out her phone, tapped the screen, switched to the play function, then placed the phone horizontally on the table, pushed it forward so that the three of them could see it clearly, and started playing. "Although it's the middle of the night and the actual footage is only one second, look at what appears at 01:23."
ox?
Nakajima Rie did see it. A bull's head appeared on the screen. Although it was only a fleeting moment, it was clearly visible. She was surprised and said, "Why is there a cow in a residential area?"
"That's right."
Shimizu Yuzu affirmed, "Normally, cattle aren't raised in residential areas, so what appeared was exactly the weirdness we were looking for!!"
“…”
Jiangchuan didn't know how to describe Senior Yuzu's train of thought. She was a little too enthusiastic about the weirdness. He didn't even dare to confirm whether it was a monster based on the surveillance video that showed a bull head that looked no different from a normal one.
There are other possibilities, Jiang Chuan said, "Senior Youzi, could it be a real cow? For example, a cow escaped during transportation in a bullock cart."
"Junior," Shimizu Yuzu said with a slightly serious expression, "We are the Weird Research Club. You have to get used to thinking in weird ways."
Good job.
As expected of a weird fanatic, according to Senior Yuzu, everything is weird.
Jiangchuan listened to Senior Youzi analyzing some possibilities, and the result was that in order to verify whether the "cow" was really weird, they needed to go to the scene to investigate in person.
He also had his own considerations. The monsters summoned by the magic circle might have run to the surrounding residential areas. Then Qingshui Yuzu's analysis was not a delusion - would removing the monsters produce gray air masses again? Jiang Chuan wanted to confirm this, or it was something he urgently needed to confirm, and now was an opportunity.
Although he was not a member of the Weird Research Society, Jiang Chuan also set off, and they came to the residential area that was filmed by surveillance cameras.
Since the footage of the bull head was taken late at night and a few days had passed, although there were people living here, they were relatively few. After a careful investigation and questioning of the residents, Qingshui Yuzu found nothing.
only……
Jiang Chuan, who was hanging at the end of the team, didn't think so. He smelled a hint of blood in the air of the residential area.
Senior Yuzu guessed right.
The smell is not obvious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it unless they have special abilities or special instruments.
He and the dwarf looked at each other, and the other also noticed something was wrong and frowned. If Shimizu Yuzu and Nakajima Rie had not been present, Sakurai Tong would have probably not been able to resist and would have gone to find the source of the strong smell of blood.
"Let's go back." Having found nothing useful or any clues related to the strangeness, Shimizu Yuzu said to the three of them with little interest, "Let's buy some gifts for the new members on the way. Does Sakurai-san want anything?"
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Chuanhai again. Qingshui Yuzu changed her mood and smiled, "If you join the Weird Research Club now, you will also have the opportunity to choose any gift within the membership fee."
He let it go, and Jiangchuan thanked him for his kindness, but when he saw Sakurai Tong's eyes shining, he couldn't wait any longer, and his greedy nature took over, and he couldn't get out of Senior Yuzu's palm.
…
On the way back to the apartment from school, Jiang Chuan glanced at the smiling Sakurai Tong. He asked with a little surprise, "Are you satisfied with just natto as a gift for joining the club?"
"What do you know, you guy?"
Sakurai Tong held the natto box in both hands, carefully protecting it in her arms. She nodded contentedly and said, "This is a top-grade product, worth 1,000 yen."
He thought that the dwarf would take the opportunity of someone else paying the bill to satisfy his own desire and rob him of a large sum of money, but Jiangchuan didn't expect that Sakurai Tong only chose his favorite food "natto".
His impression of the dwarf changed slightly.
The two returned to the apartment. Jiangchuan put down his bag. He had some important things to do next. He saw that Sakurai Tong had the same idea as him. After putting the natto in the refrigerator, he took down the small sword hanging on the wall.
The room was silent for a moment, and then Jiang Chuan broke the silence and said, "Let's go."
