A series of murders targeting women all over the town of Ye Death. It happened at a pace higher than the one that once disturbed the world, and the damage to the victim's body was worse than that of the Octopus. Somehow, most of the body has been lost, leaving only a few pieces of flesh, hair and relics, and a matching amount of blood.
It was a boy who first responded to rumors that this was Lu Kaiyuki's work and went straight to see Lu Kaiyuki to find out the truth.
"I knew it wasn't. I didn't think Mr. Lu Kaiyue would do that."
A curly-haired boy plays with his fingers as he rolls his hair around.
There was a boy in the six tatami mats room of an old house with a smell from the late Showa period. A tatami mat, a tabletop, a brown tube TV with feet on the box, a wooden air conditioner, a radio cassette, a phonograph, a black phone, an old-fashioned teapot, and a video game console with a cassette.
Retro upholstery is not limited to this house. From decades ago, both downtown and residential areas recreated the retro atmosphere of the late Showa period. This is what people look like in the city, in the shops, in the houses. Nevertheless, modern culture has not been abandoned, and many parts are only focused on appearance. Incidentally, there are also towns in the city center that recreate the atmosphere from the Taisho period to the early Showa period.
Boy - In front of Masaki Nakaseko, a small middle-aged man with long hair sits over his head and looks troubled. He is the ancient monster of this town, Mr. Lu Kaiyue
"Yeah... but I know who did it. Besides, it has nothing to do with me."
The house bell rang as Mr. Lu Kaiyue talked so far.
Oh, it's been a long time.
A soft woman's voice echoes at the entrance. The Lord of Voices is Yodo Kaizu, the wife of Mr. Lu Kaizuke.
"Today. I heard some rumors that bothered me."
"I see. That rumor...."
Hearing the words of a woman who is a visitor, her voice sinks.
In a room with Mr. Lu Kaiyue and Masaki, a pair of white women and a boy in school runs pass by.
"Oh, Masaki was here too. Is that a rumor?
"Long time no see, Lily. I was just talking about it."
A white woman, Yuriko Rainbow, enters the room and speaks with Masaki first. They are related to each other and have known each other for many years. Masaki was taught various techniques and knowledge by Lily, and exchanged catalysts.
Mr. Lu Kaiyue was also known to Masaki and Lily as a Death Ghost Magician. The name of Mr. Lu Kaiyue is well known among the Death Ghost Magicians. It is respected and seen at a glance by many Necromancers because he is an excellent Necromancer, he invents various techniques, makes new catalysts, and spares no effort to provide them to Necromancers.
"So the tragic murder yesterday and the testimony that Lu Kaiyue is killing is your son's fault, right?
"Tahaha, well, hey. I'm in trouble."
As confirmed by Lily, Mr. Lu Kaiyue scratches his cheeks and smiles bitterly.
"Come on, every time something like this happens, they say the Octopus Return."
Mutsuki, a boy in the shape of a school runner, sighed faintly.
"It was a long time ago. She had a time of flashy bad behavior before. Thanks to this, the land, sea and moon and Etsu here apologized and were allowed to see the country and be crushed by the wizard of the country. You often said there was no medicine for fools. Speaking of which, it was because of your poor way of raising you."
"Uhh... well, that's how it is..."
To say that Lily's teeth could not be dressed, Lu Kaiyue, the gentle gentleman of the temple, was also wrinkling between his eyebrows, and he had a lovely laugh that attracted him.
"We're heartbroken."
Etsu, who brought tea and tea confectionery into the pot, said with a sad face.
"Ahah, I just realized it. In kanji, the difference between the names of Mr. Lu Kaiyue and me is complicated by whether there is a sea or not."
Mutsuki said with a smile to calm the scene.
"Oh, oh, this is my daughter. It smells so good... nh ~"
"Hey, hey...."
Mr Lu Kaiyuki stepped forward towards Mutsuki and caught his nose. Mutsuki looks down and leaves.
"Would you stop playing games with me? And majestically in front of him."
"Ububububububu, I'm sorry..."
Lily walks in between and greets Land, Sea and Moon with a steel prosthetic hand, literally iron claw. Lu Kaiyue apologized in agony.
"Was it a woman? It's called Tsugumi. I haven't seen a lot of women dressed up like men lately."
Masaki said while wrapping his hair around his fingertips.
"Ahah, my body is a woman, but my head is a man, so you can treat me like a man"
That said, Mutsuki smiled affectionately towards Masaki.
"Hmm ~? Then you can't pull it like that to the extent that the walrus has done it?
"You... Yuri-san will be angry again."
"Ez, you scold me. Because you're too spoiled, this man will stay young and vulgar forever.
Etsu licks the reckless land, sea and moon, and Lily urges them to do so.
"You're blurring the story. Your son, this is not a problem you can't leave behind. I've been quiet for a while, but I'm also interested in why you exposed it again."
"Hmm... I wonder if you're accumulating power."
Land, sea and moon roaring with their arms.
"I understand that. But what are we going to do now in search of power? Why hunt so much risk without sneaking around? And to do it in this city where you live..."
"Are you trying to sin against Mr. Lu Kaiyue?
Yaki took over the word of Lily.
"I'm sure there is. Like the two sons of Land, Sea and Moon, Land, Sea and Moon have long been monsters of human eating."
After receiving the words of Lily in a mean tone, Mr. Lu Kaiyue distorted his mouth, unscrewed his arms, grabbed his knees tightly, and nodded.
He lowered his hips and gently laid his hands on the land, sea and moon as he approached him.
"Is it strange that someone thinks it was Lu Kaiyue?
Mutsuki asks.
"Yes. Well, those who know the land, sea and moon first-hand - for example, the Death Magicians - will not have such suspicions. Including us."
"Whoa, everybody believes in me, Nah. And believe in Ulysses."
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that?
In a dialogue that could also be heard as a follower of Lily, Mr. Lu Kaiyue raised his face with a light expression, but Lily grabbed his jaw with her hand and tightened it up, with a dreadful voice.
"Ahah, that means I'm going to protect your friend Lu Kaiyue."
"Mutsuki, don't decide for yourself. Well... it would be a pity to lose where the precious catalyst is manufactured, and it's worth protecting in that sense."
In the words of Mutsuki, Lily let go of Mr. Lu Kaiyue while saying with a cold expression.
I'll help you, too.
Masaki offered.
That's right. It will be a good training for Masaki, but be prepared for the battle of life at the same time. "
"I know."
When Lily cautioned, Masaki nodded tightly.
"Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Please protect this man."
She lay her hands in front of her knees and lowered her head deeply.
"Oh no, my ass is starting to feel itchy about my position of being protected. Besides, there are times like this when Yurippe protects you. Ehehehe"
"When you say something like this, you want to rethink it and throw it out."
"You, Yuri-san and Masaki-kun are in a position to take care of you. Please tell me a little more."
Lily slammed a cold gaze at Mr. Lu Kaiyue, who laughed at her.
