After a hearty meal, a shower, and a change of clothes, Pei had transformed from her slovenly appearance into a beautiful, cute, and fashionable girl.
It was just that it didn't match the big bag and the cane she was carrying.
"Thank you so much. I didn't expect you to be so kind."
When they arrived at Fujii Yakumo's house again, Pei thanked him profusely.
"Not only did you give me delicious food, you even let me take a shower and change my clothes. I'm so grateful …"
"You're welcome. My creed is to treat cute and beautiful girls gently."
Pei smiled and looked at the mansion in front of her. Although there were no lights here as before, she could feel the presence of people inside.
"Well, the person you're looking for should be back."
Hearing his words, Pei nodded, then went up and pressed the doorbell.
"Ding dong, ding dong."
"Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong!"
"… … …"
Anyway, I'm not the one making a ruckus, so who cares.
"Damn it, it's so noisy!!"
Accompanied by a complaint, a teenager opened the door.
"Do you know what time it is? There's still class tomorrow …!!"
After seeing Pei and Yu standing in front of him, the teenager swallowed his complaint.
"Uh … Who are you?"
"Yakumo!!"
However, the moment she saw the teenager, Pei rushed forward and hugged him.
"You must be Yakumo! Yakumo!! I've been looking for you since Tibet for four years! Yakumo Yakumo Yakumo!! "
"Wow, wow! What's wrong with this girl?!! "
Although he did not know what was going on, the teenager named Fujii Yakumo still welcomed Pei and Yu into his house. Then, Pei took out the skull of Fujii Yakumo's father and the letter from her backpack.
"Hey, I didn't expect my father to write me a letter."
After taking the letter, Fujii Yakumo appeared a little indifferent.
"You don't seem very sad?"
Looking at the teenager in front of her, Yu asked with some doubt. No matter what, that was her father's skull. The teenager in front of her was acting a little too cold.
"Hmph, four years ago, he left me and Mom behind to investigate monsters. Rather than calling him a folklore scholar, it would be better to call him a monster maniac. Mom couldn't take it anymore and left home. We haven't contacted each other for four years. I thought he might have died a long time ago. "
While complaining, Fujii Yakumo read the letter in front of him. While reading the letter, his expression became a little strange.
"What are you talking about? Dad has been bewitched by a monster."
However, the more he read, the angrier Fujii Yagumo became. In the end, he slammed the table and shouted at the skull.
"Are you kidding me? Why would I bring a girl I don't know to Hong Kong?"
"Hong Kong?"
Hearing Fujii Yakumo's complaint, Sai and Pei looked at each other doubtfully, and then Sai stretched out his hand.
"If you don't mind, can I take a look at that letter?"
"Oh, take it. It's all that stinky dad's delusion."
While saying that, Fujii Yakumo handed over the letter, and Sai took the letter and read it. It was written about Fujii Yakumo's father. As Fujii Yakumo said, he was a folklore scholar who once went to Tibet. The object of his investigation was an illusory race that used the art of immortality, the Three-eyed Ikaro. At that time, he fell in Tibet and almost died. Later, he was saved by a girl. This girl was Pei, the only survivor of the Three-eyed race. She had lived alone for 300 years. Pei's only wish was to become a human. Rumor has it that the Three-eyed race once invented a humanization technique that could transform the Three-eyed race into an ordinary human. This was also Pei's goal.
So before the professor died, he wrote this letter. He wanted his son to take Pei to a place called the "Monster Shooting Society" in Hong Kong to find an expert named Ya Li. He should know about the humanization technique.
"Are you kidding me? I'm just a high school student. How can I afford to go to Hong Kong? Now, I have to work to earn my daily living!"
That's right.
Seeing that Fujii Yakumo was having a headache, Sai shrugged. If it was just Pei living here, it would be a cliché plot of a love comedy that fell from the sky, but asking a high school student to go to Hong Kong …. The Japanese financial crisis in the 1990s made life difficult for everyone. Fujii Yakumo's father died four years ago. He probably could not have imagined that the Japanese economy would collapse to this state four years later.
"In that case, how about leaving this matter to me?"
"Leave it to you?"
"That's right."
As he said that, Sai took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
"This is my business card."
"Difficult Case Investigation Firm?"
Looking at the information on the business card, Fujii Yakumo was confused.
"Simply put, we specialize in helping others deal with difficult problems. I think … .this should be a difficult problem for you, right?"
"That's true, but … .don't tell me you want my money? I'm just a poor high school student. I don't have much money."
What a joke! Why would I be interested in your money?
Sai rolled his eyes.
"Of course not. In fact, Miss Pei and I hit it off very well. Besides, we're from the same hometown. Besides, I'm not interested in ignoring a cute girl's troubles. If you don't want to take her with you, I'll take her to Hong Kong. It's a piece of cake for me anyway."
"Hmm …."
Hearing Sai's answer, Fujii Yakumo could not help but fall into complicated and contradictory thoughts. After a while, he finally made a decision. He raised his head and stared at Sai.
"You won't do anything bad to her, right?"
"Of course."
Having said that, Sai stood up.
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to make up your mind for a while. Let's leave it at that for now. If you're willing, you can bring Pei here to find me. My firm is not far from here. Pei has been there just now. I won't disturb you anymore. "
After saying that, Sai nodded to Pei and turned to leave.
Fujii Yakumo and Pei looked at each other speechlessly.
After that, Sai returned to the firm and explained the situation to the others.
"So, sister, you're going to Hong Kong?"
"Yeah, something like that. Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. I was planning to go to Hong Kong soon."
Sai nodded and squinted at the night view outside. After picking up the fragment on the set of "Sadako vs. Kayako", the second place the other party pointed to was Hong Kong. And now, this girl named Pei was also going to Hong Kong, and she happened to meet him ….
Well, let's just treat it as a coincidence.
"But will they really come?"
"It depends. If they don't come, we can still meet again in Hong Kong."
Sure enough, it was just as Sai said. Early the next morning, Fujii Yakumo brought Pei to the door again.
"I'm sorry, please help this girl."
Standing in front of Sai, Fujii Yakumo lowered his head.
"To be honest, the things my dad said are too unbelievable. I don't want to believe them at all. But this is the last wish of my dead dad. I want to fulfill it, but it's impossible for me to do it alone …. "
"Of course, I don't think you can afford to pay a high school student who has to work in a ladyboy bar at night."
"Woo …."
Hearing Sai's answer, Fujii Yakumo's expression suddenly became awkward. He stuttered and explained.
"I … I didn't choose to do that because I liked it. I just wanted to earn a living ….!"
"I know, so you're willing to entrust me with this?"
"Yeah …."
Fujii Yakumo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. After all, he was just an ordinary high school student. He knew almost nothing about the things his dad said. But he also wanted to fulfill his dad's wish, but it was too difficult for him to bring Pei to Hong Kong alone. He knew almost nothing, and he didn't know what to do. In the end, after agonizing over it for a long time, Fujii Yakumo decided to come here and ask Sai for help.
"No problem. It's decided."
Sai retracted his gaze from Fujii Yakumo and looked at Pei.
"You don't have any problems either, Miss Pei?"
"Yes, please advise me."
"Very well, then get ready. We'll set off for Hong Kong tomorrow."
"Please wait."
However, just as Sai made his decision, Crimson, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.
"Sister Sai, take me with you."
"Do you want to go with me?"
Sai was quite surprised to hear Crimson volunteering to go with her.
"You still have class, right?"
"I can ask for leave. Besides, I'm Sister Sai's assistant, so of course I'll go with her …. Can't I?"
"Ugh …."
Sai was speechless when she saw Crimson in front of her. Of course, she could see the uneasiness and anticipation in Crimson's eyes, but ….
Sai looked at the other people in the room, but they didn't seem to mind.
"I won't go anyway. You know I don't usually go out."
Sea Mist Branch was the first to make a statement. Hisashi Shizui also nodded.
"I don't want to leave my land either …."
Most monsters had a strong homesickness. It was rare for a monster to leave their home and go somewhere else.
It seemed that these two were the same.
"Alright then …. Pack up, we'll go together. Fengshi, you'll temporarily take over Crimson's work for the time being. Remember to call me if there's anything urgent."
"Yes, Lord Sai."
Kurosawa Fengshi nodded.
Hearing Roland's answer, Crimson Fledgling finally revealed a relaxed smile.
