Chapter 1530 Returning (Because It Was Too Cold to Go Down the Mountain)
"Phew...it's back again..."
Standing at the station, Fang Zheng, transformed into a red ponytail again, stretched his waist. At this time, a curious voice came from behind her.
"Miss Red Ponytail is also from Misaki Town?"
"No, it's just that this place feels like home to me, and it's nice to come back occasionally."
While speaking, Fangzheng turned his head helplessly.
"Also, don't call me Miss Red Ponytail. I always say you can just call me Xiaohong."
"Then...then...Miss Xiaohong..."
"Aha……………"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fangzheng sighed helplessly. In front of her at the moment is a girl with jet-black hair that reaches her waist. She has a fair face and blue eyes. She is wearing Liyuan's school uniform and is holding a suitcase in her hand.
This girl is Fangzheng's companion along the way --- Tono Akiba.
Like Heitong Shiyin, she is also Fiore's student. According to Fiore, the Tono family was originally one of the big families in Misaki Town, but the previous generation's patriarch, Tono Shinjiu, died early, and as a daughter, Tono Akiha had to face being raped very early on. The relatives of the Tono family surrounded and divided up the property and status.
It was at that time that Fiore found her and guaranteed her safety in the name of the Thousand Worlds Tree. After that, Tono Akiba also entered Riyuan as a boarding student. And now it happened to be summer vacation, and since Fang Zheng was going to Misaki Town, the two of them happened to be on the same road.
It's just that compared with Hua, who is always full of confidence, Tohno Akiba is quite well-behaved and even a little introverted. For example, she has been using honorifics to Fangzheng along the way, and it has not changed even now.
"Forget it, you want to go home, right? Let's go, I'll go with you."
"Huh? But..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Send the Buddha to the West. It's all here. Let me take a look at your house by the way."
"Ah... yes..."
Facing Fangzheng's toughness, Qiuye seemed a little at a loss, but she didn't feel disgusted. So Fangzheng took Qiuye to find a taxi, and then went to the location according to the address Qiuye said.
It's just that after arriving at the place, Fang Zheng was greatly disappointed by the scene in front of him.
"You live here?"
Looking at the mansion in front of him, Fangzheng curled his lips. The mansion in front of me is quite big, but it looks like it's not popular at all. Not only that, but it can be seen from the overgrown weeds in the courtyard that it has been deserted for quite a long time.
"Yes, after that...everyone left and I was alone..."
"Aren't you afraid to live in such a big place by yourself?"
Facing Fangzheng's question, Qiuye's body trembled suddenly, without her answering, Fangzheng probably thought that Qiuye wanted to go back to the gift garden right now. Although the internal environment of Liyuan is relatively strict, at least there are friends who don't go home during the holidays. It's better than staying alone in this haunted place.
By the way, Hua Hua went home soon. According to her statement, she was going back to monitor a certain stealing cat, so as not to let her get too close to her brother.
"I, I'm fine by myself..."
That's what it says, but it doesn't look like that at all.
"That's not okay."
Seeing this, Fangzheng grabbed Qiuye's hand.
"Hey?"
"How can you live in this kind of place alone, what if it is haunted? Go for a walk, I will take you to a good place, at least it is more popular than here."
"this and that………"
Facing the sudden invitation, Akiba seemed a little overwhelmed.
"What kind of hotel?"
"The hotel still costs money, but it doesn't cost money over there. It's just that three meals have to be delivered, but it's better than here... Come, come."
While speaking, Fangzheng pulled Qiuye into the taxi again, and then gave the address.
When he heard the address, the driver suddenly showed a embarrassed expression.
"Miss, it's almost evening now, where..."
"I'll double the fare for you!"
"Okay, let's go now!"
So it makes sense to say that money can make ghosts turn millstones.
When they arrived at the destination, it was already late at night, but Fang Zheng walked forward without hesitation, and pushed the door open.
"Solomon, I'm back!"
Accompanied by Fang Zheng's yell, the originally dark bungalow suddenly became brighter, and then, a girl with black shoulder-length short hair, dressed in black, quietly appeared in the shadow of the entrance hall.
"Little Red."
"Yo, there are beads."
Seeing Youzhu standing in the shadows, Fangzheng smiled and waved at her, while Youzhu glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the embarrassed and nervous girl standing behind the red ponytail.
"Ah, I, I am Tono Akiha, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice."
Sensing You Zhu's gaze, Qiu Ye lowered her head a little uneasy, and saluted her respectfully. But Youzhu just glanced at her, then looked at Fangzheng again.
"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Qingzi?"
Fangzheng glanced left and right, she originally thought that when she came in, she would meet Qingzi who yelled "It's so noisy" and then came out, and then she could play a song of love to her, but it turned out... ...Has that idiot actually become smarter?
"She went to Tokyo to go to university. She called back earlier and said she was going to do a field trip or something, so she didn't come back."
"So you're alone? It just so happens that this poor little one is also alone. She also went home for the summer vacation, but there wasn't even a ghost in that big, damn house. I couldn't stand it, so I dragged her to You are here."
"Really."
Facing Fangzheng's words, Youzhu just nodded, but she didn't even look at Qiuye, she just stared at Fangzheng.
"And you?"
"Me? Because of some things, I will stay in Misaki Town for a while, and I still want to live with you."
"Really."
The same answer, but for some reason, Qiuye always felt that the tone of the last sentence seemed much softer than before.
It's just that after saying this, Youzhu turned around and left, while Qiuye stood at the entrance in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while. After all, generally speaking, at least the host has to arrange the accommodation of the guests. It's not so arrogant, but isn't it better? In case there is any taboo, or if the master's secret is disturbed...
"Okay, let's go."
Fangzheng grabbed Qiuye's hand.
"My room happens to have a bed, so you can sleep in the same room as me."
I see.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
"Okay, let's go."
Just after breakfast, Fangzheng slammed the table and stood up, Youzhu was unmoved, and Qiuye was startled.
"Yes, where are you going?"
"Going for a stroll in Misaki Town, it's better than staying here, and as I said, I have other things to do in Misaki Town... Do you want to come with Yuzu?"
"........."
Youzhu shook her head while sipping her black tea.
"Where's Akiba?"
"I…………"
To be honest, Qiuye is not the type who is used to going out, but she can also feel that she is a bit out of place with this girl. The other party wasn't hostile to her, but simply ignored her. This made Qiuye feel that even if she died here, the girl might pretend she didn't see her.
"That... I will go too."
"Okay, let's come together."
Fangzheng didn't care. Although Tohno Akiba was just a girl, she was also a spellcaster just like Huahua. It's just that unlike flowers, Qiuye's spellcasting level is not high enough. Huahua has reached the level of the fourth ring in the spell of evocation, but Qiu Ye has only reached the third ring——and it is still an illusion.
This time, Fiore asked herself to come back with her, probably because she had to take care of her students. After all, as a mage, what you need is to travel thousands of miles. This world is not like the main world. You can find a village at will, and then fight with goblins and other things there to accumulate experience. It is impossible to go to the cemetery Explore the mysteries and undead in the ruins.
This is also normal, each world has a different way of doing things.
Since there are no little monsters in this world...
Just take her to fight vampires.
Misaki Town is still a relatively lively place, at least walking on the street, you can feel the enthusiasm and vitality.
"That...Miss Xiaohong? Where are we going?"
"Go and clean up the vampires, Huahua has seen monsters once before, you haven't, hasn't it, isn't it fair? I'll take you to meet the vampires this time, so when you go back, won't you have something to brag about?"
"Hey? Hey?!"
Hearing this, Qiu Ye cried out in surprise.
"Me, me? A vampire, you're talking about dead disciples..."
"Who knows, let's see the situation."
After coming to Sansaki Town, Fangzheng has been vaguely aware that there is darkness and flowing death in this lively and energetic street.
Monsters have infiltrated the city, and more than one.
Fangzheng is not too sure if there is that sister of Erte Luqi among them, but as long as he looks for it along the way, he should be able to find some clues...
"This way."
At this moment, Fang Zheng beckoned to Qiu Ye suddenly, and then the two came to a rather dark alley.
"here is………"
"Hush."
However, Fang Zheng interrupted Qiu Ye before she could finish her sentence. She shook her head, then looked forward, and then said with emotion.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really an exaggeration."
"Hey?"
Facing Fangzheng's emotion, Qiuye was a little surprised, but before her eyes got used to the darkness, a more pungent smell woke her up.
That's not the putrid smell of garbage, that's more disgusting...
The smell of blood.
"Woo..."
What appeared at the same time was a low-pitched roar like a beast.
Immediately afterwards, a man appeared in front of the two of them.
It was an office worker, judging from the suit he was wearing, it should be like this, but right now he looked like a zombie in a horror movie, tattered and bloody, and he let out a low cry, While walking slowly towards Fangzheng and Qiuye.
"The lowest level of zombies... I'm not interested... Do you want to try it?"
Fangzheng looked at Qiuye beside him, but the girl was obviously petrified at this moment. This is also normal, obviously outside is a busy shopping street full of people and pedestrians. As a result, there was only a thin line between them, and what appeared in front of him was darkness, blood and death that he never thought of.
No, it's not completely unexpected, after all, I grew up with Tono's parents, and I also have that kind of blood on my body.
However, this is the first real face to it.
What belonged to the Tohno family, and the darkness of this world.
"I……………"
However, just when Qiuye made up his mind to speak, suddenly, a voice came.
"Be careful!!"
Accompanied by this sound, the next moment, a white figure suddenly descended from the sky.
