You say this is a love game?

“Good medicine tastes bitter.”

Mizutani Makoto said with a firm look on his face.

"I think we should send Rika to the hospital..."

"You're right, she definitely needs to be taken to the hospital, but I don't think she'll make it. Before that, we have to take care of her injuries."

Is it handled in the form of “feeding”?

Even Ota Akemi hesitated.

But referring to Mizutani Makoto's previous performance, she gritted her teeth and decided to unconditionally trust this boy of the same age.

"Come, pry open her mouth and I'll feed her..."

Mizutani Makoto considered giving Nishimura Rika a refreshing soup to help her wake up sooner. But after thinking it over, he felt reluctant... He didn't dare to eat Lao Ba's secret nutritious meal, but the refreshing soup would be useful to him.

There are only so many of these props, and they are limited.

The nutritious meal is fine, since he probably won't need it in his lifetime anyway, but the refreshing soup is not okay. It seems like a waste to give it to Rika Nishimura.

"I ate it..."

"Wait, can Rika really swallow?"

"Will she choke? Should we give Rika some water... ah? Did she swallow it?"

Rika Nishimura's luck is undoubtedly decent.

Her previous coma prevented her from hearing the fourth "To Alice", so her life was not in danger. Now, it happened that Mizutani Makoto had Lao Ba's secret nutritious meal in his backpack. Considering the spiritual power restored by the awakening soup, the life force that this nutritious meal could heal was also exceptionally strong.

It is impossible to treat severed limbs, terminal illnesses, etc.

However, these difficult-to-deal-with internal injuries, fractures, and vomiting blood are actually the areas where vitality is best at.

A vigorous vitality surged out of Rika Nishimura's body, repairing her damaged internal organs and even reconnecting her broken ribs.

Medical miracle.

Mizutani Makoto was amazed.

It was not until then that Mizutani Makoto realized how exaggerated the effect would be if the little red bottle given to him, an "immortal", was used on ordinary people.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Rika Nishimura's consciousness was already wandering in a haze, and the aftermath of the piano ghost's influence on her had not completely faded, making her feel her limbs were light and difficult to control.

She seemed to be supported by someone.

My head hurts, and there's a sharp stabbing pain in my lower abdomen.

But there was also a warm feeling, like soaking in a hot spring, which made her feel that all the pain was fading away.

She slowly opened her eyes and found that there were many little people dancing in her field of vision.

Hmm...is that a Smurf?

A strange logic suddenly emerged in her mind, and she believed it without any reason.

She felt curious and reached out to grab these little people. She gently moved them upwards and felt something strange, like pulling someone's hair.

At this time, another glowing little man held her hand and wanted to make friends with her.

Gurgle, girdle, girdle.

I couldn't understand what the little people were saying.

But then a metal lunch box was handed to me. The rice inside smelled a bit strange, but it tasted quite delicious... Hmm? It should be quite delicious?

"Let me try, Yoshiko!"

Suddenly, a little girl's cry was heard.

"Wake up quickly!"

Suddenly, a ball of dark green firefly appeared in Nishimura Rika's sight and hit her head directly. The dull pain at that moment was like hitting her head on the corner of the table. Nishimura Rika screamed and woke up from her silly smile on the spot.

"It hurts!"

She covered her forehead and cried out in pain with tears in her eyes.

Then she raised her eyes and saw Mizutani Makoto looking at her expressionlessly.

She grabbed the guy's bangs in her hand and pulled them quite hard.

Chapter 83: Miyamizu Inaba, Shuten-doji.

silence.

Rika Nishimura felt like her heart skipped a beat.

Mizutani Makoto maintained the silence of a cold and handsome boy and shook his head silently.

"Wake up, it's good when you wake up."

Akemi Ota smoothed over the awkward atmosphere.

At the same time, she silently put away the special nutritious meal that Mizutani Makoto fed to Nishimura Rika... It was not that she was attracted by the leftovers, but she felt that the curry inside had not been emptied yet. If Nishimura Rika saw this iron lunch box and explained it, she would probably faint on the spot again.

Some things are better left unknown.

Nishimura Rika looked around at the people around her in confusion, almost thinking she was dreaming, or perhaps her previous experience was a nightmare. But when she turned her head and saw that she was in the music classroom, she couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.

She still needs to wait for Ota Akemi and others to explain what happened here.

But these are trivial matters and have nothing to do with Mizutani Makoto.

No wonder he killed.

He also saved people.

Tongzi's mission was finally completed.

Mizutani Makoto stood up and turned to look outside the classroom door. The space around him was undergoing an unobservable distortion, and the gray colors were peeling off from his sight. When he stepped into the corridor again, the outside world had returned to reality.

Rainy.

The cold air of the rainy night is blowing in mixed with water vapor.

The cherry trees, dressed in June's new clothes, stood quietly in the night wind. The gorgeous cherry blossoms of April and May had long since faded, replaced by lush green leaves, which rustled in the gauze-like rain curtain.

Completely return to the real world.

The music classroom behind him, which had been destroyed in the fierce battle, was once again covered by the correct reality.

Distortion is the monsters' home turf, and it will make them more adept.

However, that alien space that was briefly separated from the real world was also an excellent hunting ground for exorcists.

The signal is blocked and monitoring is ineffective. No matter what kind of damage is caused inside, once the distortion disappears, the environment in the real world will be corrected back to the original "reality".

For example, there is indeed a piano near the podium in this music classroom, but it is not the one that was smashed by Makoto Mizutani.

The girls looked back at the piano on the podium and suddenly shuddered, their shared PTSD was triggered, and they rushed out of the music classroom.

"what time is it now?"

Mizutani Makoto took out his cell phone from his pocket, and now the cell phone signal has returned to normal.

The time is 04:37.

"..."

There is almost no room for rest.

Mizutani Makoto took a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart and pull his emotions out of the fierce battle of life and death.

The urgent mission in sight has come to an end, and the only thing left is to retreat.

"Goodbye then. You can handle the rest on your own."

Mizutani Makoto turned his back to the group and waved casually.

I didn't intend to tell them anything more.

He had said everything he needed to say and done everything he needed to do. It was no big deal. The remaining short distance...wasn't it just the journey home? He didn't need to be escorted all the way, did he?

Ota Akemi obviously wanted to say something.

But Mizutani Makoto walked very quickly, and before she could call for help, he had disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Is it too late to even say thank you?

Looking at the dazed look on the girl's face, you can tell that she is overthinking some things.

However, Rika Nishimura stood up with the help of others, gritted her teeth, and walked to the stairs holding on to the classroom wall.

There was no one to be seen below.

But she still shouted out loudly.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving us... and I'm so, so sorry! I'll make it up to you!"

"Oh, I know."

In the empty corridor, a response, neither loud nor soft, was heard.

Rika Nishimura then collapsed to the ground and started crying for some reason.

Mizutani Makoto walked around the wall with ease and was about to climb over it to escape when he caught a glimpse of someone lying on the ground under the light near the security room.

That's the surveillance area.

As for the man on the ground, he was the school's patrol security guard on night shift.

Mizutani Makoto stroked his chin and thought of a solution.

"Jiazi, go take a look."

Satori Yoshiko's body grew transparent in mid-air until she vanished. Unable to be captured by the cameras, the elf girl lightly ran over, reached out to test the security guard's breath, then closed her eyes, feeling the ebb and flow of his vitality... Her tense little face quickly relaxed.

"It's nothing serious, he just fainted from shock."

Are you scared to death?

Mizutani Makoto was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly realized what was happening - the Ninomiya statue, the piano ghost, and the portrait ghost, took advantage of the existence of the cracks to create a large distortion point, enveloping the entire Yami High School. In addition to the victims like Nishimura Rika, there must also be security guards on night duty in the school.

This uncle probably bumped into something.

Yoshiko Satori found bruises on the security guard's neck, as if someone had strangled him.

Makoto Mizutani guessed that it could be Ksitigarbha monk or the upper body of Miss JK.

"As long as there's no danger to life."

At this point, Mizutani Makoto had no worries anymore. He climbed over the wall and left the school. He went home, brushed his teeth and washed his face, threw his torn coat aside, changed into the Yami High School uniform, and ran straight to the newspaper office.

How diligent!

Ota Akemi always felt that Mizutani Makoto still had some opinions about them, but in fact, Mizutani Makoto was quite easy to talk to.

They didn't drag their feet at all, nor did they do anything bad, and they were even planning to backstab Rika Nishimura and put her in jail... After finishing this dungeon, his bad impression of them had almost disappeared. He just treated them as ordinary passers-by, and he didn't dislike them to the point of not even looking at them a few more times.

There was only one reason why he was in a hurry.

——A migrant worker in the new century.

Just like a calm office worker who has to ask his boss for leave before a decisive battle, Mizutani Makoto is not that persistent, but he also promised the newspaper, so he has to have some sense of contract.

"Big brother, don't you really want to take a break?"

It was still Yoshiko Satori who felt sorry for Makoto Mizutani.

She didn't quite understand Mizutani Makoto's thoughts.

Mizutani Makoto had just experienced a thrilling battle, and looking back on last night's experience - she at least had a brief chance to fall asleep, but Mizutani Makoto entered the crevice at midnight, and after coming out, he directly asked her to break through Yami High School, so she had no rest at all in between.

In other words, Mizutani Makoto worked all night, then pulled himself together and planned to go back to work and go to school as usual.

What kind of iron man is this?

In fact, she had wanted to complain before. Even if her big brother could handle it, he couldn't act like this, right? He was even less human than a Zashiki-warashi like her!

Otherwise, should I take a leave?

This girl is different from Tongzi. She really feels sorry for her brother.
