For Shizuku, Kyoto is a good tourist attraction and a very suitable place to live.

Various ancient buildings and large courtyards are not as modern and prosperous as Tokyo, but they exude a unique sense of tranquility and ease. Walking on the streets, one feels quite isolated and alienated.

If you find a courtyard here, sit on the tatami, sip tea and listen to the soft drizzle outside, it will be quite unique.

It's a pity that I have too few family members, so if I buy a big yard, it will turn into a haunted house.

Thinking of this, Shizuku retracted her gaze and looked at Sunako Hara who was walking beside her. At this moment, she was still dressed in a kimono, walking on the streets of Kyoto full of ancient style, giving people the feeling that she had traveled from the Edo period.

Just like people.

For Shizuku, she really likes the design of kimono.

The dress emphasizes the figure, highlighting the chest, waist and hips, but the kimono is more restrained. If we use a cultural metaphor, then the dress is more extroverted, and its design is all to bring out the charm and beauty of the female body. The subtext is actually to attract

Men, telling them "look at me, conquer me, own me" - is essentially the same as a millionaire putting a box of gold in front of everyone for them to see.

However, the culture of the kimono is introverted. The subtext it expresses is "conservatism" and "protection." The layers of clothes wrap the girl's body, guarding her like a city wall. Whether it is a thick belt or a single garment, it is

It is to show the audience, "I am not a casual woman, please don't attack me."

However, this only gave people more and more impulse and desire to find out.

If we use a game as an analogy, then the strategy dress is like Wushuang. As long as you kill enough enemies, you can "The enemy is embarrassed, I will take off her clothes."

The kimono is more like sneaking. You sneak past the layers of guards, peel off layers of protection, and then get the treasures guarded...

Just like Sunako Harama who is walking next to him at the moment, looking at her fair and slender neck exposed from the collar, it is difficult not to think of it. For example, the sleeves of the girl sitting on the tatami fell off, and the wide kimono ran along the body.

Sliding down, the round shoulders and snow-white skin were slowly revealed, just like the curtain on the stage was gradually lifted, revealing everything hidden inside...

"...Are you listening to me? Miss Kasugano?"

The voice of Hara Makoto came to her ears, and Shizuku immediately came back to her senses.

"Of course, vampires... To be honest, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Kyoto."

"Yeah, frankly I don't believe it either, but now the situation is getting more and more complicated."

Harama Sunako obviously didn't expect that Shizuku was staring at her neck just now, thinking about something that could write tens of thousands of words of documentary novels, so she also raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and sighed.

"Elementary school students, middle school students, college students, office workers...several people have been killed now, and some were killed in just a few minutes when the boss turned around and left while choosing fabrics."

After saying this, Sunako Hara also frowned, with a bitter look on her face. She was a psychic, and she was helpless in the face of monsters. Especially foreign monsters like vampires, to Sunako Hara, they were no different from aliens.

The reason why Sunako Harama entrusted Shizuku to take charge this time is because Kyoto is their family's territory, and they are naturally responsible for the things that happen in Kyoto about monsters and monsters. They are like the rulers secretly. If they don't

If these troubles can be solved, the original family's status and reputation in Kyoto will inevitably decline.

In fact, this is also what Harama Sako is worried about.

Relying on Japan's inherent class, the Hara family is not short of money, and they have certain connections in the political and financial circles. However, in terms of psychic ability, the Hara family has begun to decline. For example, Hara Ma Sunako can be regarded as the most powerful person in the Hara family.

She is a powerful psychic, but all she can do is talk to spirits and be possessed by spirits. Even so, her spiritual power is gradually weakening, which makes Sunako Harama very uneasy.

Therefore, she eagerly hopes to establish a good relationship with Shizuku and make friends with her - just like a martial arts sect. She can't do it, but if she can get to know a few famous martial arts seniors, she can still make friends with him in times of crisis.

flag.

"So, all the blood in the corpse was sucked dry?"

"Yes, and several of the victims had tooth marks on their necks, so they were thought to be vampires. But...are there also vampires who come out during the day?"

"Well...it depends on the situation."

Thinking of this, Shizuku couldn't help but think of the vampires she knew. Whether it was Akkad, the policewoman, or Sophie and Leticia, they seemed to be unable to deal with the daylight.

Especially the latter who has to leave a suicide note in advance before going out during the day, so he probably doesn't have the energy to suck blood.

Erquet and Eltruki, the two true ancestors of the moon-shaped world, didn't seem to care about this and went out to wander around day and night, but the other Dead Apostles were very afraid of the sun.

Krulru doesn’t seem to be afraid of the sun either?

Forget it, the situation in each world is different, and it cannot be generalized.

"Can I go see the body?"

Shizuku thought for a while and decided to go see the corpse first. When Fang Zheng was working as Airi, he had done this kind of work on Genkami Island a lot, so he was already familiar with it.

"No problem at all."

As a local snake, if you can't even handle this, then Yuan Zhensako shouldn't get involved.

There are no mobile phones in this era, but a local lady like Hara Shinako doesn't want a mobile phone. She just made a gesture, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper came over immediately, and then Hara Mako Sako whispered a few words to him,

The latter nodded and left, then Harama Sunako looked at Shizuku.

"Miss Kasugano, please come with me."

Look, it’s simple, direct, convenient and quick.

Soon, Shizuku, led by Harama Sunako, saw the corpse in the morgue. However... the condition of the corpse was beyond Shizuku's imagination.

"There's something wrong with this corpse..."

Looking at the corpse lying in front of her and the autopsy report next to her, Shizuku couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that the condition of the corpse was bad, on the contrary, it was that the condition of the corpse was too good.

Fang Zheng has seen the miserable state of the victims of vampires in many worlds. Some of them shriveled into mummies, while others were like wild beasts, even biting them with blood and flesh together.

However, the corpse feels very strange right now. Strictly speaking, it doesn't look like a corpse at all, but more like a sleeping person - of course, except for her livid and corpse-like skin color.

"The wound is not big...well, this vampire should not be male."

Shizuku turned the corpse's neck, carefully observed the wound on the neck, and then made a judgment.

On the contrary, Sunako Harama seemed a little dazed by Shizuku's professional and forensic-like approach - after all, when she invited her twice before, Shizuku gave Sunako Harama the feeling of being in a hurry, and no matter what it was, she was straight forward.

Sweep across and crush everyone who dares to block the road to death.

Although it's not nice to say this, in Harama Sunako's opinion, Shizuku doesn't seem to be a skilled person.

Of course she didn't know that in another world, Xian Shen Island, Fang Zheng's other clone, Ellie, specialized in this.

"Is it a female?"

"Well, the wound is not big. Judging from the tooth marks, she should be a young woman, no more than eighteen years old..."

Having said this, Shizuku subconsciously wanted to ask Harama Sunako for surveillance. Then she realized that it was the late 1980s and laptops were probably not around anymore. Where could she find surveillance cameras...

"Show me the map of the victims."

"OK."

Harama Sunako handed over the map, and Shizuku scanned it around, and soon discovered that the locations of these victims were relatively close to each other. It seemed that... rabbits also ate grass from the edges of their nests.

"Are there any facilities nearby? Like schools or something?"

"There are schools, ranging from elementary school to high school."

"Is it a girls' school?"

"Yes."

"knew."

Hearing Harama Sunako's answer, Shizuku nodded.

It seemed that if we wanted to find clues, we should start here... So soon, Shizuku said goodbye to Sunako Hara and started walking around the nearby school.

The tooth marks are very obvious, and they should be the marks of a young girl's teeth biting the skin. Although there is no way to judge the specific age, at this point, Shizuku can almost guess that the other party should be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. And it is very likely.

If you are hunting here disguised as a student, then the next step will be much easier. Just look around and see if you can smell the smell of blood... Huh?

At this moment, a faint smell of blood came. Shizuku turned around and saw a girl not far away walking past her and heading towards the intersection.

It was a beautiful girl with long silver hair. She was wearing a school uniform and tied with a pair of ponytails. She looked quite noble and beautiful. However, for some reason, everyone around her seemed to turn a blind eye to her.

, and the girl didn't seem to care about them at all, and just walked towards the end of the street.

Is it her?

Looking at the silver-haired girl, Shizuku raised an eyebrow, then followed her quietly.

In order to lure out the vampire, Shizuku did not use the power of the dragon, but restrained her own breath. After all, vampires are very sensitive to the breath of the dead and monsters. This time, she received the entrustment of Sunako Hara to destroy the monsters.

, it would not be a good thing if the other party was allowed to escape.

The girl was completely unaware of Shizuku following her. She just walked through the street and then disappeared on a path in the forest nearby.

"Ohhh..."

Seeing this, Shizuku immediately narrowed her eyes.

The beautiful girl, the smell of blood, the uninhabited forest...well, she felt that she had found her target this time.

While thinking about it, Shizuku also smiled and followed closely.

As expected, Shizuku lost track of the girl shortly after following the girl into the forest. It was already dark at this time, and the forest was dark, making it difficult to distinguish the north, south, east, and west. But of course Shizuku could not be fooled by such a trick.

Being deceived, I saw her raising her right hand and lightly snapping her fingers.

"Snapped."

The next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly began to change. The towering trees twisted and then disappeared as if in an illusion. Then, a Western castle slowly emerged in the forest.

Seeing this scene, Shizuku nodded with satisfaction.
