I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 744
"Eh?" Nakano Azusa and Ping Zeyou were slightly startled and looked at Suzuki Jun.
Indeed, I always feel that the experience involved is more important than the content of comics and novels.
"The Earl said that he is a devil, but the more I investigate, the more I feel that the Earl is more like a homeless god, the god of creation, the god of punishment... I always feel that he is always lingering like this. On the streets, is it because no one has faith and is wandering everywhere..."
Suzuki Jun lowered his head slightly, looked at the little ripples in the water under the street lamp, and said carefully.
According to Japan's understanding of gods, faith is a very important existence. Gods who lose faith will lose their residence and power, and can easily become extreme gods causing trouble everywhere.
"We are just ordinary people. We have no way of understanding such things. I always feel that what we should do is go back to our own world and stop involving ourselves in strange urban legends..."
Nakano Azusa sighed slightly and whispered.
"Huh... um." Suzuki Jun nodded, lowering his head slightly, unable to refute Nakano Azusa's point of view.
Among the three girls, two were carrying wooden cases of guitars or basses. The scene looked quite youthful in the rain.
Soon, Suzuki Jun took the bus home and left, and Nakano Azusa himself had to take the subway, so after a while, the three girls who went home together separated.
The night was getting darker and darker, but something was different this time. Last time, there was a heavy rainstorm before leaving the subway. But this time, Nakano Azusa was about to walk between the residential areas and encountered an unexpected heavy rain. This time But it's an empty space.
"Ahh..."
Nakano Azusa suddenly got wet. She thought it was nothing, but her guitar case was not waterproof and she forgot to bring a waterproof bag to wrap it up. Seeing the rain, Nakano Azusa hurriedly covered herself with some water. The soaked school bag and guitar bag were placed in front of him. The only place not far away that could protect him from the rain was a somewhat deserted shrine.
This is the abandoned shrine that Azusa Nakano has played since she was a child. It is not far from the bridge that she must pass home. It seems that the priest who originally lived here went bankrupt because there were too few pilgrims. But it is not terrible. Last time I was there When she was afraid of the Earl, she also hid here, with Hirasawa You and Suzuki Jun sitting on the threshold with her.
Subconsciously, Nakano Azusa always felt that this was a safe place. She quickly hid in it, and then looked at the storm with a sad face, fearing that she would not listen to it for a while.
A piece of rain and mist lingered in this peaceful place.
She took out the guitar and checked if there was any water. When she saw that it was still very dry, the girl whose bangs and chin were dripping with water breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, Charcoal..." Nakano Azusa smiled and whispered.
At this moment, the street lights are dim, the rain is rustling, and there is no one on the street. This girl is leaning against the wooden wall of the shrine, dazed. For some reason, she feels the emotions of going through this extraordinary experience in her heart. A little confused and melancholy, she picked up the guitar and started playing a little.
In a quiet night, a wet high school girl leaned on an abandoned shrine surrounded by several trees in a residential area, playing the first song she composed and the only song she has ever played with a slightly tangled emotion. tune.
"I don't know why, Xiaochun is a little concerned, and I also..."
Nakano Azusa was silent, thinking.
However, in the hazy rain and fog by the river, a figure gradually appeared.
The streets were empty, and raindrops passed over this man's figure. His body seemed to be transparent, untouched by the world. The wide and waisted windbreaker was pitch black, shaking slightly in the dark night.
"..."
Nakano Azusa suddenly turned pale.
The two people who had not seen each other for a week unexpectedly met again in this abandoned shrine.
"?"
It seems that the earl did not expect to meet this girl with two ponytails here. He was slightly stunned and stood here.
"Oops...Oops, why has he been wandering here for more than a week..."
Nakano Azusa's face was a little complicated. In the final analysis, she still felt repulsed and afraid of this existence that was out of touch with her common sense in life. But now that she has come into contact with such a time-precipitated existence, she has silently recognized such an existence. Moreover, it seems difficult to turn a blind eye to the profound experience she just encountered.
There are ripples on the river, green grass is faint on the hazy riverside sidewalk, and the water channel makes a crisp sound. The illusory world gradually merges into the world of this girl who only has music and school. At this moment, her mood is no longer the same as before. It was not as scary as it once was, but instead had a vague and warm feeling of an encounter.
The black ink breath is still wandering around this body that is ignored by passers-by, like a hunter who has been wandering deep in the dark forest for a long time. He is lonely and dangerous, but has a kind of mystery that is separated from the world. His body is obviously a little thin. , but it exudes a strong aura that is too powerful to defeat. It seemed like I was coming home.
However, after this "Lord Earl" looked at her for a few times, he sat aside with some concern, sitting next to the money box.
"??"
Nakano Azusa was slightly stunned. She thought she would be talked to by this "Lord Earl", but in the end, he was sitting not far from her like nothing happened.
She didn't know what the reason was, so she looked back with a little curiosity.
In the dark shrine, the figure leaning against the wall quietly and panting slightly near the money box looked like he had been busy working for a long time. In the dark and dry place on his side, Azusa Nakano couldn't help but I don't know why, but I always feel like there are lights like tiny fireflies dancing in a dark place.
"I always feel that... I don't want to talk to me, but it seems that it is indeed not an evil soul or demon. It is dragging me to hell here without anyone noticing..."
Although Nakano Azusa felt a little reassured, she didn't know why. When she thought of that hypothesis, she trembled all over.
However, the heavy rain continued and it seemed that it would not subside for a while.
"But even if the possibility of danger is ruled out... why are you ignoring me and why are you sitting in this abandoned shrine as if nothing has happened?"
The girl with wet hair thought curiously.
Gradually, Suzuki Jun's hypothesis gradually echoed in Nakano Azusa's mind.
——[The more I investigate, the more I feel that Lord Earl is more like a homeless god, the god of creation, the god of punishment... I always feel that he is always wandering the streets like this, is it because he has no People wander around everywhere because of their faith...]
"..."
Nakano Azusa was stunned, and once again secretly looked back at this figure.
【Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...]
At this moment, the track network where the tram passed a few hundred meters away rang with sirens, resounding throughout the quiet night.
I always feel that this hypothesis is not impossible.
Nakano Azusa also feels that this shrine has been very safe for her since she was a child, and she always felt that there was a god here to protect her.
Just as Nakano Azusa was thinking, two or three young men in their twenties passed by on the street. They seemed to be caught off guard by the heavy rain. When they passed the shrine, they looked over and the result seemed to be [here] Why does a female high school student look like she's hiding from the rain?
"Huh?" Azusa Nakano also noticed that whenever someone passed by, this "Lord Earl" would raise his head and pay attention. It always seemed that he seemed to be paying attention to the security issues. Although this place does look dangerous, if you yell here, seven or eight households around you will open their windows and look. There have been many precedents. On the contrary, this place is relatively safe. Nothing has happened in the past twenty years. criminal matter.
However, Nakano Azusa herself did not notice that her shirt was soaked. She had a vague appearance of spring, and her appearance was cute and pretty, which was enough to attract Li Yan's attention.
After waiting for a while, Nakano Azusa once again played the tune called "Brush~Ballpoint Pen~" in the light part by himself, and his mood seemed to start to create a happy atmosphere.
The melodious tunes were floating in the shrine, and many residents around seemed to be listening a little. In the night and rainy scene, it seemed as if this moment was Azusa Nakano's solo concert.
Including the exiled young man, they also listened quietly.
After the song ended, at 8:06, the rain gradually stopped.
"...played surprisingly well."
Li Yan looked at Nakano Azusa and couldn't help but praise him.
