4. Can you write stories?
The smile on Tamura Yosuke's face made Yuka, or the freshman Qing Running Light suddenly feel a little regretful and scared...
She was left with only a ball of flames, and quickly floated in the air, trying to escape.
But how could it be possible to escape from Tamura Yosuke's clutches?
He picked up a drunk coke can from the ground, grabbed it casually, and put the flame into the can.
The green running light was frightened and quickly turned on all the fire, trying to melt the jar and escape.
Although she looks like a flame, she is just a monster who likes to tell stories and listen to stories. Her ability is ritual-like, not a simple and rough positive and reckless man like Muramasa, so she is not good at flames at all.
Even if you have enough effort, you can barely heat the Coke can to the point of warming your baby.
Yosuke Tamura was also amused and crying. Why did this little guy make him want to harm her?
So he shook the Coke can hard.
Soon, a grievance sound came from the jar:
"Woo...please spare me, don't shake it anymore, it's so dizzy..."
"Then you have to be obedient and don't think about running away."
Tamura Yosuke said helplessly.
"Okay, let me talk to you first, why did you suddenly escape?"
A faint sound continued to come from the jar:
"Woo...it's because your smile just now is so terrible..."
Tamura Yosuke suddenly felt a little depressed.
This body, he carefully selected, needs no need to say much about the conditions in all aspects, and he is very good but not good.
Why does it scare the little girl to run away with a smile?
He complained a few words in his heart, and explained patiently:
"I laughed not because of anything else, I was happy for you to successfully overcome the difficulties."
"When I didn't show up, you were actually a little hesitant, right?"
The Coke Can was silent for a moment before responding in a low voice:
"Um……"
When Yuka reached out to the candlelight before, his movements were obviously slow, far less determined than the second time.
"If you are hesitant and without real enlightenment, you will not be able to become a green running lamp. Instead, you will be entangled by the candlelight and burned bit by bit until it turns into ashes. This process will be very painful..."
"This is a test of becoming a monster, and it is also the price for you to use this ritual."
"That's why I suggest you think carefully. If I save you, although you will disappear completely, at least you don't have to bear such risks."
Tamura Yosuke explained very seriously.
He did not lie to her. In the past years, he had seen countless monsters that had failed to change. The shrill screams they made when they were tortured made him still remember them vividly.
"Scared~ So that's it. Sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, I hope you can forgive..."
Coke Can quickly apologized, and seemed to have become the cowardly Yuka again.
"Don't care about those details, let's talk about you first. How did you become a vengeful spirit?"
Tamura Yosuke mentioned the serious matter.
Coke Jar then whispered his true story.
……………………
Before this series of story meetings, before the leading Mikako started this monster game, Yuka of humanity was already dead.
She was originally just an ordinary girl, with her appearance, figure, family background and grades, and she did not receive much care from her family since she was a child. Instead, she was beaten and scolded a lot, and she has become an introverted and cowardly character since she was a child.
My only hobby is to crouch in the quilt, hold a small flashlight, trembling while reading the strange stories with relish.
After entering this girls' high school, she became a few so-called "friends" and endured their various bullying for many years.
Finally one day, after the collection of strange stories she cherished was torn to pieces by several friends, she finally collapsed and chose to jump into the river and commit suicide.
At the last moment when consciousness dissipated, she heard the last strange story in her life:
99 people told 99 stories. When the 100th person told a story, real strange stories will be born.
So, she became a revengeful spirit, still maintaining the appearance and rationality of human beings, not as fierce and crazy as ordinary spirits, nor as powerful as they are, and they cannot directly hurt people.
So, she planned the ritual of this hundred stories.
She adapted the story and found a way to tell Mikako, which successfully aroused her interest.
People like bullying the weak have no IQ. Mikako really took the bait and began to take the initiative to help Yuka organize this ritual.
Especially after the incident was reported to the Tokyo Metropolitan City Strange Talk, it soon received widespread and discussion from netizens, allowing Mikako to experience the pleasure of a well-known writer.
She became more and more uncontrollable and worked harder to organize the rituals. She completed most of the content in just half a month.
After that, what happened tonight.
After listening to this story together, the village sneered disdainfully:
"Ha~human, weak and ridiculous ants."
When the Coke Can was just starting to tell the story, Tamura Yosuke had already returned to the basement and called Muramasa to listen together.
"Okay, I've finished listening to the story, let's talk about something else now."
Tamura Yosuke clapped his hands, yawned again, and continued to ask:
"What other abilities do you have in addition to that ritual about the story now? Can you write such strange stories?"
"Hey? This... I've written it secretly before, but I didn't dare to show it to others. Later, I went to high school and I didn't dare to write it anymore."
Coke Can replied in a low voice.
Tamura Yosuke nodded.
"Well, it's great, then you can think about it first. After thinking about it, tell the story to the village. If you can scare it, let it record it, submit it to the magazine, and earn some royalties to come back."
After hearing this, the village next to him said:
"Lord, I am forgiving, the story that scares me is impossible in this world!"
"To be precise, there is no thing in this world that can scare me except you!"
Tamura Yosuke glanced at it and said with a smile:
"Don't say too much, wait until you write it out."
Continue asking about Coke jars:
"How is it? Are you okay?"
"I...I can try it, but...I don't really understand why this is the case?"
Tamura Yosuke was planning to explain, but Murama volunteered:
"Lord, I won't bother you with such a small matter as teaching newcomers. Please leave it to me with confidence."
Seeing that it was so proactive, it was not easy to dampen its enthusiasm, Tamura nodded.
Just so happened that he was a little tired and wanted to take a break.
It's not physical fatigue, but habitual.
After all, he spent most of his time sleeping and fishing.
Now that I have returned to the world, I have suddenly become busy and have not adapted yet.
Chapter completed!
