Back at Asakusa Shrine, Fujiwara Izaya took a shower and changed into his school uniform.
I found a broom and swept the entire worship hall, bagged the garbage, wiped the dust off the table and the statues, and finally made a simple egg and ham sandwich in the kitchen, heated up a glass of milk, and got through breakfast.
"Remember not to run out of the shrine..."
"If you're bored, you can catch the kitten next door and play with it..."
"If a stranger comes in, send me a signal as soon as possible. Don't make the decision yourself and freeze others..."
After repeatedly urging and confirming that the snow girl understood what he meant, Fujiwara Izaya stepped on his schoolbag and walked out of the torii gate. He couldn't help but look back.
On the moss-covered stone steps, the snow girl raised her white little hand and waved to him from a distance.
As the morning light fell, the body covered with ice and snow presented an almost transparent beauty.
"I will work hard to earn points today!" Fujiwara Izaya promised loudly!
※※※※※
After leaving Asakusa Shrine, we walked for about five minutes to Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station and took the Asakusa Line subway.
After two stations, transfer to the Chuo-Sobu Line tram at Asakusabashi Station, go all the way west through Akihabara, Ochanomizu, Suidobashi, and Iidabashi, and finally get off at Yotsuya Station.
This commuter line would crowd Fujiwara Izaya to the point of doubting Yaobi every day.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Tokyo’s tram system is very developed, convenient and fast, and is the preferred way of travel for most people. However, students going to school in the morning and workers going to work in the morning almost overlap, making it difficult to walk at any station during the morning rush hour.
You can actually fly there.
It's just... young monsters shouldn't be too arrogant!
Ahem.
In fact, from an objective point of view, Japan, which is a parallel but not completely parallel world, can definitely be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous age.
To deal with ghosts and monsters, the government has nine search sections that specialize in dealing with supernatural crimes. Shintoism and Buddhism have also joined forces to establish the Onnyangryo, and both parties have concentrated their efforts to combat supernatural incidents.
Ordinary people are well protected, and there are fewer and fewer ghosts and monsters... This also leads to their existence being only semi-public in society - those who know, let them know, and those who don't know
, the authorities will try their best to prevent them from knowing, including but not limited to prohibiting the circulation of relevant videos, signing a gag order by relevant personnel involved in the ghost attack, prohibiting clergy from using extraordinary powers in front of ordinary people, etc.
Another important reason is that, except for a few monsters who want to make big news, most monsters will hardly conflict with humans.
They either live in remote mountains and old forests with few human traces and follow ancient traditional lifestyles; or they disguise themselves as ordinary people and mingle with ordinary citizens as humans.
The true identity of monsters mixed in the human world cannot be identified unless they use their monster powers. Monsters are not stupid either. As long as they do not break the law and disturb society, no one will come to trouble them.
As far as Fujiwara Izaya knows, there is a cat demon named Natsume who wrote a best-selling book "I am a Cat" based on his own experience, and eventually became a literary master.
So...
When there was no need for conflict, Fujiwara Izaya chose to be an ordinary high school student who was diligent, studious, and law-abiding.
Maybe you can write a book like "I Am a Mountain" or "I Am a Tengu" in the future, and after you become a famous writer, you can use your status as a "literary person" to go whoring in various bars in Ginza or Harajuku.
"Ah~~"
Yawning, he emerged from the subway platform and hurried onto the tram platform above ground.
"Please step back outside the yellow line and wait for the bus."
"The tram enters the station, please transfer passengers to get on and off the train in an orderly manner."
A broadcast sounded from the loudspeaker, and a yellow-painted carriage stopped steadily. Pushed by the crowd, Fujiwara Izaya successfully squeezed into the Sobu Line carriage during the morning rush hour.
As the body shook slightly, the train left the Asakusabashi platform.
On the way to Yotsuya, cherry blossoms bloomed on both sides of the railway track. The petals were so gorgeous and luxurious that they seemed to dye the entire carriage pink with their aggressive momentum.
At 8:20, we got off at Yotsuya Station.
I couldn't meet Naoko, and I couldn't meet Midoriko either.
On the contrary, I saw many female high school students who had reached the highest level of cold resistance and could not wait to put on summer short skirts.
Fujiwara Izaya put on his headphones, walked alone through the bustling Shinjuku Avenue, and embarked on a 300-meter uphill road leading to Kitagawa Academy.
This is the best private high school in the country.
The school is located on a high platform in Yotsuya. It covers a large area and is surrounded by high stone walls. As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted by a tall oak tree, which is at least a hundred years old. This is the school emblem of Kitagawa Academy.
An oak tree.
Under the oak tree is the school road leading to the school building, and cherry blossoms are planted on both sides, in full bloom.
Walking through the asphalt road that was dyed pink and white by flower petals, Fujiwara Izaya once again sighed: There are so many cherry blossoms in Tokyo.
When I came to the shoe cabinet, I took out the school's uniform white flat shoes, and as expected, I found a pink envelope lying inside.
Fujiwara Izaya threw his indoor shoes on the ground and stuffed his feet into them. A passage suddenly came to his mind: When talking about high school life, the color rose comes to mind. When talking about rose color, people think of high school life. People are almost used to it.
High school life is seen as rose-colored.
Is this really the case?
Thinking about this problem, I walked slowly towards the classroom of Class F, Grade 2.
As an ordinary high school student, Fujiwara Izaya does not believe in the "love first" doctrine, but he has no intention of not falling in love. This idea can also be extended to all aspects of study and life.
Not exactly positive, but not negative either.
To be more precise, do it if you think it is necessary, and try not to do anything that is not necessary.
Returning to the classroom, he sat down by the window. There were still a few minutes until class started at 8:30. Fujiwara Izaya took out yesterday's homework and checked it.
To be a competent "good student", his mother unilaterally helped him think it was very necessary, so he did not dare to be lazy in his studies.
"Good morning, Fujiwara." Ikeda Seiji said hello and walked in after participating in the club's morning practice.
"Good morning."
Fujiwara Izaya lowered his head and answered.
This person was his friend in the same class since the freshman year of high school. They would usually have dinner together, discuss animation, games, sports, beauties, etc., and also share various pornographic pictures and short videos.
In addition to being an ordinary high school student, Ikeda Seiji is also a hereditary monk at Zengokuji Temple. His strength is also acceptable when he is about to be promoted to the rank of novice monk. He can be regarded as a young and promising young monk.
Ikeda Seiji sat back in his seat, then turned around and lay on Fujiwara Izaya's desk with a flattering smile on his face.
"Hey, Fujiwara-kun, you look so handsome again today."
Fujiwara Izaya folded his hands and said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"
According to his understanding of the young monk, what follows is nothing more than that Shanguo Temple received a commission to remove spirits. In order to train the young monk, the old monk asked the young monk to complete it independently. However, the young monk was greedy for life and feared death, so he planned to spend money.
Please help.
"It's nothing big, just a small commission." Ikeda Seiji paused and then said: "There was a murder in a bread factory near my home last night, and a lot of spider silk was left at the scene. The old monk went to see it, and it was basically OK.
It is concluded that it was done by a spider demon who has just been promoted to the middle position."
"So he asked you, who is about to be promoted to the middle position, to get rid of the spider demon?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Ikeda Qingji was surprised.
Wasn't it like this every time he came to me in the past... Fujiwara Lin also glared at him angrily: "Go on."
"The old monk used various shameful methods such as coercion and inducement to force me to eliminate the demon tonight." Ikeda Seiji continued, "So, I would like to ask Fujiwara-kun to accompany me tonight."
Fujiwara Izaya looked at him expressionlessly.
"There is a reward." Ikeda Seiji said hurriedly, "1 million yen!"
After one year of being a classmate, the little monk basically figured out the little priest's habits and knew that he was not interested in any bullshit love-hate stories, and that the little priest only wanted to make money.
Fujiwara Izaya nodded: "Okay!"
It's not about money!
Mainly because the snow girl baby has just been promoted and I want to test her strength.
"It's settled," Fujiwara Izaya smiled happily and looked at the little monk: "After school tonight, I will go to Kagurazaka to find you."
Ikeda Seiji also smiled happily.
The young priest is short of money and the young monk is rich. Isn’t this just complementary?
After one operation, the little priest made money, and the little monk did not have to face the dangerous monsters; maybe the little priest made some money, but the little monk definitely did not lose... After all, the little monk's money was given by the old monk.
"Don't worry!" Fujiwara Izaya patted his chest and promised: "As a priest with a sense of justice, I will definitely eradicate this harmful monster!"
Ikeda Seiji said with admiration: "Fujiwara-kun is handsome!"
"Remember," Fujiwara Izaya emphasized, "this is definitely not about money!"
"For justice!"
Ikeda Seiji looked at Fujiwara Izaya with admiration, and at the same time muttered to himself: I believe you, you little priest is very greedy for money!
