I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

[Suicide Game]

"Unlike those prank-like things, this thing has actually killed people."

And when a person dies, there is a chance that they will become a spirit.

Suicide games once spread around the world, especially in Japan, a country where teenage suicide was a hot topic.

“This is not a spirit in the ordinary sense, and... things seem to have become more complicated.”

The distance outside the window.

More and more "figures" are gathering on the long street.

Visible to the naked eye, even more creatures were gathering from afar.

This is a rampage from [Spirit].

As for why this happened... without a doubt, it's because Fujiwara Chika cheated!!

The spirit is something that truly exists in a physical sense, but people cannot see it in everyday life.

If you can't see it, it's as if it doesn't exist.

and so.

Once the "suicide game" was installed on Chika Fujiwara's phone, the app became a real-world entity.

It is indeed a thing made up of code and various file materials.

Of course, it can also be changed.

But a normal person would never do that, nor would they even think of doing such a thing!

However, Fujiwara Chika had an idea.

"I've discovered this game is unfair! I'm the only one who can control my character to complete daily tasks, and as a result, my health, mood, and energy keep dropping! If they all drop to zero, I lose the game!!"

It's not just that you might lose, it's that you might die!

Is this guy just ridiculously dense?!

"If that's the case, then this is the only way, right? Playing games is all about winning!!"

Well.

That's true.

To put it bluntly, the "suicide game" is a kind of ancient internet rule myth. Because it is so ancient, it has many loopholes, which the girl in front of him took advantage of.

The consequence of this is "victory".

Fujiwara Chika directly used a cheat to make herself invincible in the game, with her health, mood, and spirit always at full value and never decreasing.

and so.

"The cursed spirit could not kill you through the game, so it got caught in some kind of bug, which eventually led to it going berserk."

To be honest...

Fujiwara Chika's approach is sound. Often, by exploiting the loopholes in the [spirit's] own action logic, it is possible to circumvent curses and death.

You could even say this guy has a lot of potential.

There is a future in becoming a "colleague".

He's bold, natural, and actually puts his skills into practice.

"Unfortunately, you've encountered the [Suicide Game]."

"Isn't that just an ordinary [spirit]?"

Clearly, by this point, Kaguya Shinomiya had figured out that what her friend Chika Fujiwara had encountered was not the same kind of thing that she and Maki Shijou had encountered before.

"of course not."

There are many kinds of spirit.

In the traditional sense, they were previously roughly divided into "bound spirits" and "wandering spirits".

The method for distinguishing them is also very simple.

A geoglyph is a being whose "coffin" exists in a certain location, so it cannot leave its surroundings;

The self-harming child, as well as the women in the basement that Kaguya Shinomiya encountered before, including the guy in the convenience store who wanted to drink strawberry milk, all belong to this category.

A wandering spirit is a creature whose "coffin" exists within its own body, allowing it to roam freely.

The things you see on the streets of Tokyo from time to time, and the dog that Shijo Maki found before, belong to this category.

There is no difference in strength between the two.

innocent.

It's just a difference in characteristics.

In addition, there are also the rather special and rare [Gathering Spirits].

"In short, if a large number of people die due to a certain event or thing, they may become part of it if they are transformed into spirits."

"In other words, these guys outside now..."

"These are the spirits that died from suicide games all over the world, and they all belong to the category of suicide games."

I understand, I understand, I understand...

The pink-haired girl was especially lively at this moment, looking like she was about to jump up and raise her hand!

"【Suicide Game】is the company! These guys outside are the employees!! The previous guy was like a one-on-one salesperson, but now that salesperson is no longer effective, the other employees have all come knocking!"

"Yes."

Fujiwara is really smart!

Their comprehension skills are absolutely top-notch!

and so.

If it were a normal, solitary spirit, the girl might have already escaped the curse and death by exploiting a bug.

But now the question is.

Although one salesperson was dealt with, the company [Suicide Game] still has other employees.

Moreover, the other party has already realized that they are no longer going to follow the proper procedures.

Instead, they wanted to take the girl's life directly.

This is what is known as "going on a rampage".

"Then what?!"

all in all.

It's very dangerous right now, isn't it?

Both Kaguya Shinomiya and Maki Shijou asked the same question.

"Stay at the shrine."

Takakawa Ryu provided the simplest solution.

But I have to go to school tomorrow!

"No school tomorrow?!"

"..."

I definitely have to go to school.

Although Takagawa Takayuki himself doesn't go to school.

"Other methods... are not impossible."

He glanced at the four girls in the room, then looked out the window at the growing number of people on the long street.

Gao Chuanlong seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

He beckoned the girls to follow him.

"go!"

"Where to?"

"Going on a trip."

"???"

Where are you going on a trip in the middle of the night?!

For some reason, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly had a bad feeling...

The boy left the room.

After saying "I have work to do, I'll be back in the morning" to the big fox who was currently playing on his tablet in the living room.

The group left the shrine and walked down the long stone steps to the street below.

At this moment.

The pitch-black night was already filled with spirits.

When I looked out the window from inside the room just now, I felt a little scared.

And now.

The girls watched as men and women, their faces pale and expressionless, carrying sharp knives, staggered and gathered towards them down the long street.

An indescribable chill began to spread from the depths of my heart.

Takagawa Takayuki remained indifferent to this, prompting Fujiwara Chika to shout in surprise.

"Where is White Bird City?! I've never heard of it before!!"

!!!

It turns out to be this!

Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly felt everything go black.

When things returned to normal, I found myself in a park overgrown with weeds.

Only Shijou Maki and Fujiwara Chika were by her side.

"Huh?! Why am I here too?!"

"Where is this place? It's like a VR game!!"

No, no.

That's not the point at all.

The point is...

Takakawa isn't here! Why didn't the boy come with us?!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Takagawa Ryubi is ten thousand times more terrifying than [Spirit].

Hayasaka isn't here either!

Kaguya Shinomiya looked around and found that in the overgrown forest, there were only herself, Maki Shijou, and Chika Fujiwara.

"No...don't panic!"

The girl, who at least knew what the situation was, said this.

If I'm not mistaken.

This must be "Shiratori Castle", right?

Kaguya Shinomiya remembered what Takagawa Ryu had said before: that child (Senki Hanako, the self-inflicted child) simply wanted more people to remember her hometown.

It may sound a little strange.

After all, I've never heard of "White Bird City" before, and what does it mean to "want people to remember her hometown"?

Has the place where this child once lived been forgotten?
