I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 675
Shiina Mashiro stood quietly in the dusk sunset, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
The email on the phone said: [Jester].
"Tonight, I will bring Holmes back by myself."
"Chavez hasn't been arrested yet and I can't call the police."
"I'm probably being watched, and Holmes' life is all that matters."
"I was asked to bring a painting over there myself...so, I'm going."
"So, don't worry."
Shiina Mashiro turned around and said: "I am no longer a pet girl... I am a lion, Watson who wants to bring Holmes back."
Chapter 326 The Girl Detective’s Hongmen Banquet
In the dark woods, drizzle began to fall.
Taking a taxi, I came to a relatively deserted mountain forest area on the outskirts of Tokyo. This is an old road leading to Yamanashi Prefecture.
Sitting in the back of the taxi, a blond girl wearing a blue winter uniform of Suimei High School looked out the window quietly.
"Suddenly it rained again."
This somewhat old taxi driver looked at the sky and chatted with Mashiro Shiina.
"Um……"
Shiina Mashiro's eyes reflected various roadside scenes at night and nodded.
"Miss, there are no buses or taxis passing by here at this time. There used to be quite a few people buying properties here, but now they are all deserted. Well, you really Do you want to get off by yourself at Akiyama Station in front?"
The white-haired taxi driver who looked a little drowsy asked hesitantly.
With a calm face, Shiina Mashiro quietly turned her head and looked at the driver's back. She always felt that this feeling was very similar to her grandfather, and then said: "I don't plan to go back today."
After hearing this, the taxi driver smiled, nodded and said, "Really? Miss, your family lives over there. Take good care of yourself. It's really not very safe over there at this time."
"Yes, I know." Shiina Mashiro nodded and said.
While chatting for a moment, suddenly, when the black taxi drove into the winding mountain road halfway up the mountain, it saw that the guardrail at the corner was smashed and car debris was scattered on the ground.
"Wait a mininute."
The driver realized something was wrong. He parked the car aside, flashed twice, and got out of the car in the drizzle to check on the other side of the cliff. He saw a dense bottomless forest under the steep slope. It was obvious that a car was driving. The car was involved in a traffic accident, crashed through the guardrail and rushed down.
"You were really careless. I don't know what happened to the guy who rushed down..."
The driver, whose clothes were a little wet, looked at it with a flashlight with a worried look on his face. When he squinted his eyes, he could barely see his pupils.
In the drizzle, the driver returned to the car and reported the traffic accident on this section of the road to the taxi company.
"……problem occurs?"
Shiina Mashiro blinked and asked in a calm and slightly curious tone.
"Yes, it seems that a guy who drove carelessly rushed down, but we shouldn't stay on the mountain road on a rainy day. It's too dangerous. There is always the danger of landslides. Besides, little girl, are you still I have to go home."
The driver slowly began to prepare for the mid-hill start, as if he was worried that Mashiro would be scared, and said words to ease the atmosphere.
"..."
When the car started, Mashiro Shiina turned her face and continued to look at the gap in the highway guardrail, thoughtfully.
The vehicle gradually increased its speed to forty, and soon, it gradually moved away from the accident site. Shiina Mashiro looked outside in the dark carriage, looking at the gray and black woods.
Just after leaving the road for more than a mile, Mashiro was surrounded by a dark scene of tree shadows. Suddenly, her eyes, which were able to discern the colors of the world better than ordinary people, saw the figure of a man in the woods that looked like ink. Walking towards the roadside in the long dark woods.
As if they sensed each other, the lonely and strange figure looked over at the taxi as it passed by. The pair of monster-like ferocious eyes were particularly conspicuous in the dark rainy scene, making Mashiro Shiina feel cold all over. .
"!"
However, this was only a scene that he saw for a moment. When Shiina Mashiro took a closer look, there was nothing in that area.
"...Am I wrong?"
Shiina Mashiro looked at this unsettling rainforest in confusion and thought quietly.
Soon, we arrived at a place called [Akiyama Station]. This area is sparsely populated and has many abandoned old houses. It was once used as a supernatural program by Tokyo TV, and some celebrities and comedians were invited to explore here.
In the quiet woods, the sound of ticking gave this area a mysterious atmosphere, but it did not have a scary atmosphere.
"Miss, we're here." The driver turned back to look at Mashiro and said.
"These." After Shiina Mashiro handed the fare to the driver, she opened a transparent umbrella, got out of the car, and found herself in this unknown space.
The pouring rain, the wet black surface, and the thin mist make people feel cold, but the surrounding area is a patch of ivy and green trees, and there is no human habitation.
Mashiro Shiina got out of the car. She was carrying a bag of long items wrapped in oilcloth and holding an umbrella. After bowing slightly to the driver, the automatic door of the taxi closed automatically, and she was ready to set off.
However, she didn't see the car start until she reached the front of the car.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Shiina Mashiro turned around curiously and asked the driver who opened the window.
The elderly driver looked at her and said: "There are no street lights here. Didn't I tell you that it's too dangerous here? I can at least use my headlights to see that you can get home safely...Miss, you You are really brave, you dare to walk on such a night road... By the way! My granddaughter is about the same age as you, she is a coward. "
The driver took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Mashiro who returned to the car window to look at.
Mashiro took a look at the photos. In the photos, there was a junior high school girl with short hair, who looked a little timid and was holding the driver's arm tightly. She felt that the atmosphere was harmonious...
"..."
This not only reminded Shiina Mashiro of her kind and kind grandfather, but also filled her heart with warmth.
"so cute."
Shiina Mashiro smiled slightly, returned the photo to the driver, and said.
"Yes, yes!"
The driver laughed cheerfully, put the photo back into his pocket like a treasure, and asked: "So, is your home really here? I heard that no one lives here anymore. At first, I always feel that little girl, you might be some kind of resentful spirit, but if the resentful spirit wants to go home, I will send her back home peacefully and peacefully... But, the more I see you, the more I know you are a kind-hearted girl, and my family You're just like a little brat, you won't come over here and do anything stupid, right?"
Rather than being a resentful spirit, Mashiro gave him the feeling of an old man, more like an elf living nearby, exuding an otherworldly aura that could not be eaten by humans.
"no problem."
