Toot toot….

"Hey, is this Miss Takayama? I'm Okino Shimizu. Do you remember the last time we met?"

"Yes, that's right. That's right. I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I want to ask, do you have time now?"

"Yes, I have something I need to confirm with you, and it's about the necklace."

"Yes...that's right...ok, let's meet at the +-*/cafe. Okay, I'm sorry. See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Okino returned the phone. Then... Hongzi, who took the phone, skillfully put it back under her skirt. Although Okino knew what was going on, he was on the street now. Although

There weren't many people around, but it would be too...too rude to do this.

On the other hand, Koizumi-san didn't realize this at all. Maybe she didn't take it to heart, just because of her personality.

"I made an appointment with her to meet at the +-/* coffee shop at six o'clock. Let's go there first."

"good."

"But I just said it first, don't expect me to treat you."

"...I know." With Hongzi's calmness, after hearing this sentence, she couldn't help but glance at Okino with a dark look on her face.

Twenty minutes later, +-*/coffee shop....

I casually ordered two cups of latte, and the two of them chatted casually. Anyway, they didn't say more than three sentences about magic, such as...

"By the way, has the new staff been settled?"

"No, there is something wrong with the beard in the formula, and a substitute has not been found yet."

"That's such a pity." Okino Shi really felt sorry for Hongzi. He finally found the dog's beard, but in the end he found that it was useless. He cried.

"By the way, have you encountered anything strange recently?"

"Something strange?" Hongzi frowned without any trace, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Well... how should I put it, it's just that kind of weird thing, like some kind of moving medieval armor... ghosts appearing... aliens, that kind of thing."

Hongzi/manual daze!!!

Okino also noticed that there was something wrong with Hongzi's eyes when he looked at him. His old face couldn't help but blush, and he coughed dryly and explained.

"Ahem, don't think too much. You also know that these so-called legends or supernatural events may have magic or magic behind them. If you understand these, it may increase my strength."

"That's it, I understand."

"Huhu... Just understand. How about it? Is there any news about this?" Okino asked anxiously.

Since becoming a forensic doctor, Okino has handled only a handful of cases, but they are all ordinary cases that do not involve mythology or supernatural events. This has disappointed Okino for a long time.

Is it because people don’t die quickly enough, or because Uncle Maori is not diligent?

It's hard to say. It's hard to say.

You can't come to visit Okino one day and beg him to take a nice walk around Tokyo. Try to spend more than half of the day walking outside. It's better to go outside for a walk. This will definitely have a certain influence on the occurrence of the case.

Not a small improvement.

"Well... listening to what you said, I remembered one thing. If I remember correctly, there were rumors some time ago that the legend of the Snow Girl was spread on a snow mountain near Shizuoka Prefecture. If

If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

"Yuki-onna, um... you can go and see it. By the way, you can come too. If it is really a snow-onna, I may not be able to handle it by myself." Okino frowned. For such a legendary snow-onna,

He really didn't know much about monsters.

Ever since the incident with Lord Gou happened, Okino Shimizu still had great expectations for these so-called Japanese monsters or myths and legends.

"It's okay, but I'm a bit pressed for time this month. Let's go next month. We can go together next month. It can be used as a trip to relax. The snow-capped mountains over there are quite beautiful. Skiing is a good choice."

"Then it's settled. By the way, I'll take note of your mobile phone number. I'll be able to buy a mobile phone next month."

"...You are really poor." Hongzi unexpectedly said the truth, making Okino's face turn red.

"Ahem, let's talk about the diamond necklace."

"Okay." Hongzi raised the corners of her lips slightly and smoothed her hair around her ears, showing off her royal-sister temperament.

"According to my observations, that necklace was the product of a failed magic experiment hundreds of years ago. Although the magic power is weak, I am sure that there is some residual magic power inside the gem."

"Magic test?" Upon hearing these four words, curiosity flashed across Hongzi's eyes, but the question came immediately.

"How do you know for sure?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, didn't I get a new ability from Mr. Dog before? Although it is useless, it is still useful in identifying items."

"Identification of items? Are you talking about the Eye of Truth?"

"Eye of Truth?" Okino said these words again, and it was not difficult to guess the specific function of this magic.

"Probably, the True Eye may be what you magicians call it, but we magicians prefer to call this ability [Magic Eye]. Anyway, it's not a very powerful magic."

"Magic Eye... It seems that magic and magic still have a lot in common."

"Yes, but they may seem similar but they are also very different."

Hearing this, Hongzi nodded thoughtfully. Essentially, as a magician, Okino Shimizu is unlikely to cast magic because the operation method is different. It is precisely because of the existence of magic circuits that Okino Shimizu can

To perform magic.

On the other hand, there is a high probability that Koizumi Anko will not be able to perform magic because there is no magic circuit in the opponent's body. Although theoretically speaking, everyone has a magic circuit in their body, so Koizumi Anko also has the capital to perform magic, but...

..The two of them haven’t learned each other’s skills yet. If they haven’t mastered their own stuff yet, how can they still have the energy to learn other things?

And the most important thing is that it is thankless. Originally it only cost 10 mana to cast, but in Koizumi Anko's hands it would cost 20 or even 50 mana, and vice versa.

"By the way, what's wrong with that gem?"

"Oh, that's it. I originally thought it was an ordinary gem, with just a little more magic power inside. But the strange thing is that my magic power can't resonate with the magic power inside the gem. I tried to absorb the magic power inside the gem.

The magic power failed, and instead my magic power was absorbed by it."

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, it's really strange, so I wanted to come to you to discuss it and see if there's anything I can do."

"Okay, I'm quite interested in hearing what you say. Since it's the product of a failed experiment, it might have some special functions."
