However, the disadvantages are of course also obvious. For example, wet garbage such as kitchen waste is difficult to dispose of before the due date, and sometimes it can only be left at home.

This can easily happen: after drinking beer, you cannot throw it away the next day, so you just leave it all over the floor and collect it later.

After dinner, Kirito chose to continue investigating the nearby cases to see if he could find any information. At the same time, he kept an eye on the movements of the Environmental Agency. If the other party was caught leaving Kasumigaseki, he could send Kazuma to stake out the situation.

Kazuma, on the other hand, finished his chores and chose to play the game directly, taking the opportunity to check his family's social media after many days.

Only Kerry didn't have so many thoughts. He thought that since there seemed to be something unusual around him, he might as well just take a walk around.

However, because both of them were busy and had not changed the locks or gotten two more keys, Chris asked them to leave at least one of them awake.

"Don't worry, I won't sleep today."

Kazuma, who was sitting in front of the computer with Duel Masters open, waved to Kerry.

Kerry shrugged helplessly and closed the door.

There's nothing we can do about it, their biological clocks used to be designed to sleep during the day.

As soon as he closed the door, he noticed a truck parked in front of him, and Kerry frowned.

"Sorry, the family is moving."

A young man in uniform saw Kerry coming out of the door and bowed his head repeatedly, expressing his deep apologies for occupying Kerry's door.

Kerry looked towards the front of the car and saw a man wearing a mask and looking extremely decadent, and a girl with blue hair and twin tails in a school uniform.

Although the girl tried her best to hide it, there were red marks in the corners of her eyes as if she had cried heart-wrenchingly, and there were some bloodshot in the whites of her eyes. She was looking at the small second floor next door with a look that was somewhat unwilling and stubborn.

Noticing that they were both being watched, the girl turned around, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and she walked over in her small leather shoes.

"I'm so sorry for losing my stockings! We moved to Toyokawa next door."

Looking at the blue octopus-like girl wearing the Moon Forest Girls' Noble Academy uniform, Kerry finally understood why the house looked so familiar to him before.

Although she looked lonely, the girl still spoke apologetically.

However, this accent is quite rare, because it sounds like adding a "please" in front of each sentence. It is a bit like the elegant accent of Kyoto, which is only used by aristocrats. The elegant accent before Kyoto is also the accent that can distinguish the ancestral background of the other person just by listening to the accent.

Because people of different classes and different jobs use completely different words, and there are even some words used exclusively by prostitutes.

Of course, it is actually quite strange that this habit appears in reality, because even for Europeans, modern times have long regarded aristocratic etiquette such as raising the pinky finger when drinking red wine as disrespectful to other people and the modern world.

Even if a Japanese person is of Chinese descent, they generally do not use this accent in their daily lives. It is more likely to be used in literary and artistic works to label the character of a young lady.

Maybe this is the value of the Miss School.

"fine."

Looking at the girl over there who looked like a delicate doll with a sense of brokenness, Chris shook his head and walked out in another direction.

The girl discovered that Kerry was carrying a guitar bag on his back because he turned around.

Are you a musician?

Looking at the musical instrument bag, the girl tightened her grip, then finally couldn't let go.

Being able to be moved by anything you see is a major characteristic of sensitive people.

The cool night breeze blows. Spring is almost coming to an end, and we are just waiting for the sudden temperature rise one day.

On an evening when there were few people in the residential area, Kerry strolled around alone with a backpack on his back, familiarizing himself with the surrounding routes.

At one time in Tokyo, Akabane was a place where land prices were very cheap. However, as people discovered that the land prices were cheap and it was affordable to buy houses here, more people wanted to come and the prices started to rise.

But generally speaking, it is still in the outer circle of Tokyo. You can hardly see any tourists at night. The people coming and going are office workers who work overtime and can only go home after dinner time, or office workers who are preparing to go out for social events in groups of three or five.

Under the cover of night, Kerry was walking when a white-haired old man in thick Tibetan clothes came towards him. The old man was strolling here with a bag on his back, but when Kerry passed him, he stopped and looked back in disbelief.

"Shi...Shimura, is...is that you?"

Hearing the old man's words, Kerry looked back in surprise.

"you are?"

"I'm Yasuda. We fought our way out of the new village together."

The old man was very excited. He stepped forward and tried to shake Kerry's hand with his calloused hand, but he quickly realized that his hand was dirty and retracted it.

"You don't know, there are rumors outside that you and Sato-kun are dead. We are all angry about you in the detention center! I'm so glad you're okay. Come, I'll go take a shower first, and I'll treat you to a drink at the izakaya."

……

Half an hour later, rejecting the old man's decision to spend money, Chris found a deserted street corner and sat down with the old man. He bought him a bottle of beer from the vending machine and casually held a can of Coke for himself.

"You don't know, we suffered a lot in there, and everyone was worried that the government would secretly deal with us.

At first, only a few people were released, but thankfully, we all made it out in the end. The government even gave us shelter and a regular allowance. And since the Yakuza in Songfu is gone, my debts are gone, so life is getting better!

Listening to what the other party said, it seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time.

"Then why are you still outside?"

Kerry looked at the old man in surprise.

"You have no idea, living in that government shed, where you can't drink or smoke, is so boring. It made me think I was in a nursing home. Besides, my daughter is actually in Tokyo, and my grandson is about to start school. The pressure is huge, so I gave all my money to them. I'm only 61 and can still work. This means I can be self-reliant and not bother my daughter, so she doesn't get disliked by her husband."

Suffering is not worth praising, and Kerry did not think that old Yasuda's decision was right, but seeing that he was smiling happily, he still raised his glass and clinked it with him.

"You don't know, but life has been tough for us homeless people lately. But everyone would be happy to know that you're still alive. By the way, Shimura, why are you here so late at night...?"

The homeless man looked at the guitar bag behind Kerry with some suspicion.

"Oh, I heard something strange was going on here so I came to check it out."

"Ah, you're kindhearted. But speaking of strange things, I did hear about a village that happened nearby."

As he spoke, the old homeless man pointed to the street where the Kerry family lived.

"Over there, I heard it's pretty scary. Several poor people have disappeared, and even after reporting them to the police, they couldn't find out anything. The Metropolitan Police Department even brushed off the matter by saying they were migrant workers and might have wandered off somewhere else. These days, these civil servants are so obsessed with enjoying themselves after passing the exams that they don't even want to serve people like us. They'd rather not work if they can. Sigh..."

Chapter 85: Tokyo Past (Supplementary File)

Listening to the old man's story, Clay immediately became interested.

Great, great! What triggering task? I just love it when things just happen to me!

Chris nodded and signaled to bring it up quickly!

"Before I was arrested, I wandered around Tokyo for a while. I heard that some of the Kishimoto brothers had a good place to hang out at night. They wouldn't tell anyone about it, so only people close to them like me knew about it."

But when Kerry nodded, the old homeless man kept the secret.

Kerry had no choice but to be the supporting actor for the lonely old man.

"Where."

"sewer."

The old man pointed to the ground and spoke slowly, and Kerry frowned.

"Are you thinking of that drainage temple built by the Tokyo Sewerage Bureau? That place is almost becoming a tourist attraction, and it's not in Tokyo. I'm talking about our local sewers in Tokyo.

They said they found a small room inside, and told me it was a storage point left by the US military. There were single beds and some canned meat inside, and they lived there on a daily basis.

When talking about happy things, the old tramp danced with joy, but then he seemed a little lost.

"But after I got out, I never saw those guys again. At first I thought they were caught by the police, but then I heard from other people that they suddenly disappeared one day.

And it was very sudden. The day before, they had made an appointment with some old men in the community to chat together the next day.

It just vanished, and all we could do was call the police. They said it might have been a snake bite. After all, who knows what's in the sewers? These days, a lot of young people like to buy reptiles from abroad, but then throw them away when they don't want to. I heard those discarded reptiles often live in the sewers, and because the sewers are warm and humid, they grow incredibly large.

You can tell that the old man really wants to convey the feeling of a horror story.

After describing the incident, Kerry was even given a wave of urban legends that sounded plausible at first glance, but a bit abstract when you thought about it.

But obviously this had no frightening effect on Kerry.

Kerry just frowned.

"The sewer..."

Seeing Kerry's reaction, the old man drank the last of his beer in one gulp.

Kerry asked a few more related questions, such as where the old homeless man met those people most often, and some other information.

Kerry felt that being a homeless person in this world was even more dangerous than being a magical girl in Gen Urobuchi's works.

We just solved the problem with the zombies, and now a new problem has appeared.

"Okay, it's almost time to drop off things at those restaurants, so I'll be leaving now."

After drinking a bottle of wine, the old man seemed a little drunk. He patted his pants, stood up and waved.

Chris didn't try to keep him. Instead, he thought about the sewer and strolled back to the street where the house was.

Unexpectedly, he saw a very abstract scene. A girl with hair like new green leaves or the heart of a cut cucumber was standing blankly at the door of the second floor of the small building next door. The girl who had been seen before and called herself Fengchuan said something to her in a somewhat aggressive tone. It seemed that she noticed Kerry's gaze, and she pulled the girl away angrily.

Kerry looked upstairs, to the rooftop of the third floor, and Kazuma was watching this scene with great interest. Kazuma also noticed Kerry and waved to him.

Kerry returned to the house and Kazuma ran downstairs "thump thump!"

"Kerry, did you just hear what those two girls downstairs said?"

"No."

Hearing that Kerry didn't hear it, Kazuma shook his head regretfully.

"I think I've seen that girl on TV before. She's the daughter of that talk show artist Ruoye."

"You actually still care about those three-dimensional idols?"

Kerry looked at Kazuma in surprise, and Kirito turned his head to look at him as if he was examining the traitor.

"I told you it was in the past, in the past! When I occasionally watched TV.

I have no interest in such boring programs nowadays.

That blue-haired girl seems to live next door. If she's the daughter of a famous star, she'd be mad at me even though she lives in that kind of apartment. And Ruoye seems to be letting it go. If I had a friend like that, I'd definitely try to get closer to her."

"Maybe this is the half body."

Kerry shook his head, showing no interest in the topic.

"Half-body, what's that got to do with? Which circle of people uses that term?"

On the contrary, Kazuma seemed to care a lot.

"By the way, I heard there's been a case of missing homeless people around here."

Kerry forced the topic back to what he wanted to talk about.

"Ah? Another homeless man?"

Upon hearing this, Kazuma remembered the previous incident in Xinxiang, which was also caused by a homeless person and ended up in a situation where the situation was almost like setting fire to the mountain. He immediately became very alert.

"In this area?"

After hearing this, Kirito tapped on his computer, trying to search for related information, but it was obvious that he couldn't find anything.

"Yes. But this time the problem seems to be in the sewer. How we are going to get in is a problem."

"Hey! Are you already thinking about how to get in?"

Kazuma couldn't stand Keri's drive anymore.

"And do we really want to go there? It's going to stink to death, right?"

Many people who have been to Japan or know about it may have seen that there is a very famous area in Japan where koi can be raised in the drainage ditches, and believe that Japan's sewers are clean.

But that is pure nonsense. Drains, which are used in daily life, will not change because of any technology.

The kind that can be used to raise ornamental fish is because there is an underground spring nearby, which is connected to the sewer and is deliberately isolated.

There are no normal ornamental fish in the sewers, but there are many scavengers such as various snails and crayfish.

In response to Kazuma's question, Kerry smiled slightly.

"It's okay, we can do something traditional."

...Late at night, the three of them went to Setagaya District and changed their clothes.

Black waterproof long coat, black rain boots and easy-to-move-in work clothes, and black gloves.
