Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

Chapter 73 Where did Little Black go? His fur, like long hair...

Kayako had clearly taken care of herself, but she still looked somewhat haggard, and her whole demeanor exuded a sense of suppressed tension.

"Kayako, where did Kuro last appear?"

"At home, Xiao Hei doesn't usually run around."

Jiuzhi Che remembered that he hadn't seen this black cat when he last came to Kayako's house. Could it be that it doesn't exist?

"Let's go to their house and check first."

In short, let's confirm this first. Whether this black cat is a cat or a ghost, Kayako is still here. She can't possibly rebel.

Upon seeing Kyushu, Kayako's emotions gradually calmed down, replaced by a mixture of shyness and excitement...

She only briefly explained the situation over the phone, and Che rushed over immediately. Che loves her so much...

Although Xiao Hei is her family, but... Xiao Hei, please come back later...

Jiuzhiche's gaze swept across the house, and this time he noticed cat supplies such as cat beds, cat bowls, and cat toys. He could even see some cat hair on them, so Xiao Hei must be a real animal.

Jiuzhiche glanced at the panel.

"Jiuzhi, would you like some tea?"

Kayako laid out tea and pastries again, this time choosing sweeter ones.

"No rush, let's find Xiao Hei first."

Jiuzhi Che observed intently, completely unmoved by external things, and carefully examined each room.

Kayako was a little disappointed, but when she thought that Jiuzhiche did it for her, she was happy again.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred that Xiao Hei had gotten lost the first time Che came.

She really likes Che's serious expression.

It's said that men who are serious about their work are the most attractive, but what about in that area...?

As she was thinking, Kayako realized she was going to collapse, so she quickly ran to Jiuzhiche's side and stayed close to him.

Being by his side makes me feel more at ease and comfortable.

Jiuzhi Che had already moved outside. He was very familiar with this place. In the original story, when Kobayashi Shunsuke came to visit, that brat Shunxiong was standing by the window with his hands dangling out.

Slightly below is where Toshio's kitten, the one named Koma, died. It was a mushy mess, killed by Takeo Saeki.

"Meow~"

A black cat jumped out from behind the wall. Its eyes were bright green, and it looked elegant and calm. Looking into its eyes, it felt like it was staring at a person.

Xiao Hei walked over to Jiu Zhiche with cat-like steps and rubbed its head against his feet, seemingly very affectionate towards him.

"Little Black, where did you go?" Kayako squatted down and picked up Little Black, her face showing surprise, but more disappointment than joy.

Wow, you found it so quickly!

"Meow~" Little Black meowed twice, but its eyes were fixed on Jiu Zhiche.

Jiuzhiche looked at it for a while; it had a slightly ominous aura, but very little.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei struggled out of Kayako's arms and leaped onto Jiu Zhiche. Even with Jiu Zhiche's reaction speed, he couldn't dodge it. He had only taken a small step back when Xiao Hei's claws were already on Jiu Zhiche's collar.

Jiuzhiche had no choice but to reach out and support the kitten's body.

A chilling aura seeped into his body, vanishing in an instant, so fast it seemed like Jiu Zhiche's illusion.

This is the real Demon King, isn't it?!

Jiuzhiche felt a chill run down his spine and really wanted to throw him away.

It's no exaggeration to say that he felt Little Black's fur was very soft in his arms, but the texture was even more like human hair...

"Little Black, come down quickly." Kayako hurriedly picked up Little Black. "I didn't even pick him up... Jiuzhi is a guest, you can't do this."

"Now that I've found it, I'll take my leave. I still have to do my part-time job."

"Okay, Jiuzhi, goodbye."

Kayako watched Jiuzhi Che walk away. As her relationship with Jiuzhi Che grew closer, Kayako became bolder and bolder. She had even considered shooing away Xiao Hei and taking his place herself...

It's a bit of a shame we couldn't get to be closer today...

She also wore some light-colored lipstick; I wonder if Che noticed, he would definitely like the scent...

Kayako was too engrossed in staring at someone to see that the little black dog in her arms was also staring intently at that back, meowing softly and sticking out its pink tongue to lick its lips.

......

The days of making money always fly by; before you can even savor them, time has slipped away.

Five days later, the last customer, who was afflicted by the Long Dream Curse, was seen off.

During this time, Jiuzhi Che also went to Fuyou Hospital to cleanse Xiangtian Tetsuro.

After this period of sustained output, my mental strength has actually increased a little. Previously, it would have taken nine purifications to weaken Mukoda Tetsuro's curse. Logically, the next one should take more than nine, but now it only takes about seven.

Not only has his mental strength increased, but the purification template has also reached 40% progress, almost halfway through. If he were to encounter the demon in Tombstone Town now, Jiuzhiche would be able to easily destroy it without the Jade Bell.

"Come here and help me massage my legs."

Tomie is still exercising today; she's doing sit-ups.

This was not a difficult request, so Jiuzhi Che naturally granted it. He went over, half-squatted down, and pressed down on Fu Jiang's legs with one hand.

Each time Tomie stood up, she would deliberately stop a little higher, so close that her breath seemed to mingle with that of Kyuichi Che, before casually landing back down.

She was observing Jiu Zhiche's expression, especially lingering on his lips for quite a while.

After catching the speechlessness and warning on Jiu Zhiche's face, she raised a faint smile, her lips curving like a kitten that had successfully stolen some fish, sly and smug.

Feeling pleased with herself for having outmaneuvered Kujira, Tomie began doing push-ups on a yoga mat, followed by squats, and finally running on a treadmill...

You know what, maybe she really could become One-Punch Tomie.

Jiuzhiche thought with a wicked sense of humor, then ignored her and started browsing the ghost story forum as usual.

I didn't find any useful information, but I did receive a call from Professor Takagi.

“Jiuzhi, almost all the students in the class have dropped out. Now the school has put the students who didn’t drop out into another class, which I will also be teaching. So you can come to school tomorrow.”

Not long after, Tomie's phone rang. She didn't intend to answer it, but Kyuji answered it instead.

Since Tomie doesn't sign her name, Kyushige Tetsu only found out after the call connected that it was Takagi-sensei calling.

"This...you...Kuji? What happened to Kawakami-kun's phone call...?"

Mr. Takagi was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Jiuzhi... isn't he dating Chuanyou?

"Okay, I'll pass that on to Tomie. Is there anything else?"

"...That's all."

the next day.

Jiuzhiche arrived at the school.

His way of giving himself a break is to go to school. What could be more hypnotic than attending a class?

That drowsy feeling, accompanied by the teacher's earnest instruction, and finally falling into a sweet sleep, is both stress-relieving and addictive.

Standing on the podium, Jiu Zhiche felt as if he had transferred schools all over again.

He wondered if the entire class would be wiped out this time.

Chapter 74 Tomie: Kayako, a mere nobody

After introducing himself, Jiu Zhiche ignored the envious and infatuated gazes of the crowd and chose a new seat to sit down.

Next was Kayako, who lowered her head slightly, her long hair obscuring most of her face, and introduced herself in a low voice:

"Kayako Kawamata".

She doesn't want others to know her preferences, her personality, or anything about herself, nor does she need to.

It's enough that only Che knows.

This gives the feeling that she completely belongs to Che.

"Look up! Covering your face is disrespectful to us!"

A boy shouted and heckled, which sparked a discussion among some students.

"Yes, they just arrived and haven't even shown their faces yet."

"I heard almost everyone in her class dropped out. Looking at her gloomy demeanor, I'm afraid she might be..."

Kayako tensed up involuntarily, feeling a little lost. She was always the one being ignored, and she never imagined that one day she would receive so much malice for a simple self-introduction.

Ms. Takagi, standing to the side, quickly intervened: "Everyone, please don't talk nonsense. Kawamata-kun is rather introverted..."

"Teacher, you too, coming from that class with the infectious disease, do you want to infect our class as well?"

The boy who had spoken earlier stood up, adopting an aggressive posture.
