Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 9

"Kiryu Toudou?!" The teacher, who seemed to have a fiery personality, looked Toudou in surprise, then adjusted his round-framed glasses, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his arms, saying, "You've changed so much!"

...Has she seen the original Kiryu Toudou?

Dou Tang secretly became a little suspicious, but smiled without changing his expression and said, "A lot has happened this year, teacher. Some changes are normal."

"Hmm...you're right. You weren't this tall a year ago, and you were much...well...your aura wasn't as strong as it is now."

That's true, but that's not the aura of a normal person; it's the resentment left behind by many vengeful spirits and evil spirits that perished amidst their cries.

Tominaga Kyoko nodded in agreement with Toudou's statement, and then said, "However, I heard that your family... although I've always wanted to visit, it seems that the address you left at school is no longer inhabited."

. "

Dou Tang explained, “My sister and I moved out. I think we both need to get away from that sad place for a while... We rented it out long-term.”

"Um... I'm sorry." Out of politeness, Kyoko Tominaga apologized, then asked, "So, what about your sister? How is Kaine Kiryu? Is she able to come to school?"

Dou Tang touched the tip of his nose. His current plan is to gradually get Huaiyin back into school life. As long as the vengeful spirits in the school are eliminated, she can come back to school.

"I will try to persuade her, teacher. Thank you for your concern."

Tominaga Kyoko nodded, then stood up, put her lecture notes and materials into a folder, tucked it under her arm, looked at Toudou in front of her, and smiled, "Kiryu-kun has really grown a lot taller, he looks like an adult now."

"Were we very close before?" Dou Tang wondered.

Then, Tominaga Kyoko made an unexpected move. She tilted her head slightly and touched Dou Tang's head. Dou Tang froze and almost threw a punch.

Since coming into this world, no one has had close contact with him except for Huaiyin.

...He has almost forgotten what it feels like to communicate with normal people.

"Now that you're back, enjoy your campus life. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to your teacher. I'll definitely help you if it's within my power. Thank you for your hard work this past year."

Looking at the teacher in front of him who seemed to care about him quite a bit, Dou Tang paused for a moment, then nodded and hummed in agreement, showing no aversion to her touch.

Kyoko Tominaga learned some things from the police, such as the Kiryu family being invaded by a roving murderer, the Kiryu couple dying to protect their two children, and Toudou risking his life to protect his sister and force the murderer to escape.

Over the past year, she had tried several times to find the two children and offer her condolences, but when she went to the address, she only found that the house had changed owners. The tenant claimed that he had paid Kiryu Todo a large sum of money to buy the right to live there for five years, and knew nothing else about it.

This incident became a thorn in the side of the kind-hearted Kyoko Tominaga, a knot that lingered in her heart for a long time.

Fortunately, the boy returned today, even more robust and taller than at the entrance ceremony, and seemed more reliable. But this reliability pained her. How many things must have happened for him to have such an aura?

Of course, she had no idea that the Kiryu Toudou in front of her was already a different person. She mistook Toudou's mature aura and slight indifference for growth after suffering too much.

Kiryu Todo secretly defined the teacher in front of him as a kind-hearted person overflowing with maternal instincts and love.

In other words, he's a good teacher.

If that incident hadn't happened, the original Kiryu Toudou would have been very happy.

At that moment, Chinatsu Kume reminded her, "Teacher, it's almost time to go to the classroom!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Dou Tang warily, clearly distrusting him, but beneath that wariness, her eyes also held fear and cowardice.

Dou Tang smiled warmly, but that smile only made Kume Chinatsu feel more uncomfortable.

She secretly clutched the talisman that Shinsen Ringo had given her the day before.

After that, everything was simple. Tominaga Kyoko took the two to the classroom. The students were naturally very curious about this ghost classmate who had taken a year off from school. As soon as get out of class ended, Tou was surrounded.

"What caused Kiryu-kun to take a leave of absence from school?"

"Did you go on a trip? Around the world or something? You look so mature."

"You've got quite a muscular build!"

Dou Tang could only give a brief answer to these questions, saying that he hadn't come to school because he was taking care of his younger sister after the accident. This somewhat heavy answer obviously didn't satisfy the curiosity of those people, but it also drove away many classmates who were just there for the fun of it.

At this moment, Chinatsu Kume slowly squeezed into the crowd, mustered up a little courage, and said, "Kiryu-kun, come out with me for a moment... Tominaga-sensei is looking for you."

Tou Tang could only smile at the few classmates nearby and say, "Sorry everyone, let's chat again next time." Then he followed Kume Chinatsu out the door.

But it was clear that Chinatsu Kume did not intend to take Todoroki to the office, but instead led him to the stairwell near the top floor.

At this moment, the door leading to the top floor was locked. No one usually comes here, and the handrail here is a solid wall, which blocks the view of people below the stairs. Sometimes, many bad people gather here.

Right now, there are a few people doing this.

Several delinquents wearing summer school uniforms with their buttons undone were squatting on the ground smoking. Even though Yiyan is a private academy, it is inevitable that delinquents will appear.

Strangely, these people seemed to know Kume Chinatsu quite well. Upon seeing her come up, the leader laughed and said, "Kume-chan, this must be that ghost classmate from your class! She looks tall and strong, quite impressive."

"I...I have something to talk to him about, please make room for me." Kume Chinatsu glanced at Tou Tang behind her, whose face was now cold and no longer feigned a smile, and said to the delinquents.

The leader of the delinquents narrowed his eyes, then approached Dou Tang and scrutinized him closely. Just when Dou Tang thought a scene of a transfer student beating up a local bully was about to unfold, the delinquent leader snorted.

"Kiryu-kun, nice to meet you! I'm off..."

He stubbed out his cigarette, then led the way down the stairs, followed by the others.

Immediately afterward, Dou Tang loosened his clenched fist again.

...It seems I was overthinking things.

After the delinquents left, Chinatsu Kume hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you...do you know what happened the night before last?"

It's time to put your acting skills to the test.

Chapter 16: Using Fall Guys to burst your heart and still fool your feelings!

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang's expression instantly shifted to six parts bewilderment and four parts confusion.

"What? What is Kume-kun saying?"

Kume Chinatsu tugged at her hair, looking somewhat troubled and conflicted. She clicked her tongue and asked, "What was Kiryu-kun doing the night before last?"

The night before last, I was cosplaying as Kamen Rider Decade and I transformed and tore apart a vengeful spirit in front of you...

But how could he say that out loud? Dou Tang cleared his throat and said, "I stayed overnight at a friend's place, but what I was doing there doesn't seem to have anything to do with Kume-kun. What exactly is Kume-kun trying to do?"

"I...no, you, you really don't have anything to say to me?" The more Kume Chinatsu looked at him, the more he seemed to resemble that person, but the person in front of her insisted that he wasn't. To be honest...she was a little unsure.

Actually, in the morning, she wanted to see if this guy was Kiryu Toudou himself by observing Tominaga Kyoko's attitude towards him, but Tominaga Kyoko didn't seem to doubt his identity at all.

His eyes, his build, and his identity as a ghost student who suddenly appeared at school the day after the incident—these suspicious points made it impossible for Chinatsu Kume to believe that he was innocent.

"What are you saying?" Dou Tang shrugged. "Complimenting you on how pretty you are or something? I heard that Kume is a somewhat famous idol, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Kume-kun isn't so self-conscious that she thinks she'll be liked right after meeting me, is she? Is that why she's so interested in me?"

? ? ? ? ? ?

Unreasonable!

"You...you're so narcissistic!" Chinatsu Kume took two steps back.

"If that's not the case, then what exactly does Kume-kun want to do?" Tou Tang narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a simple and curious gaze.

...Is he really not?

Chinatsu Kume was a little undecided.

But she took two deep breaths and decided to give it one last shot, reaching into the small pocket on the front of her school uniform.

"Hey!"

She suddenly jumped up and slapped the pure white paper talisman in her hand towards Dou Tang's forehead!

Raid!

Because Kume Chika seemed so weak and showed no resentment, Tou Tang didn't take her seriously at all and was caught off guard, falling into her trap.

The pure white paper talisman was stuck tightly to Dou Tang's face. It was very firm without any adhesive, and Kume Chinatsu's eyes widened immediately.

She still remembered what Ringo Shinzen had told her yesterday. The shrine maiden, dressed in a rustic style, held her hand and said, "Miss Kume, if this talisman glows, it means that the thing it's attached to has resentment. Ordinary vengeful spirits or evil spirits shouldn't be able to escape once it's attached to them."

Sure enough! The pure white paper talisman was shimmering and was pressed tightly against the man in front of him!

Dou Tang frowned, looking through the paper talisman at the girl who had suddenly acted rudely. He felt the resentment within him, like a vast ocean, surging into this small paper talisman.

Of course, how could a mere paper talisman withstand the power of Dou Tang?

"Bang!"

The pure white, immaculate paper talisman was torn apart by an unknown force, exploding into fragments with a sound like an explosion, gradually turning into a deep black as it fell.

silence.

...How did it break?

Ringo Shinzen didn't tell her what to do if the talisman paper tore.

At the same time, a thought surfaced in my mind.

It has to be him! Everything before was a lie; he's clearly that Fall Guy! He's followed me all the way to school!

"what!!!"

With a scream, Chinatsu Kume took off running! She dashed towards the top floor!

Dou Tang rolled his eyes and watched helplessly as she rushed upstairs and started taking things out of her pockets... Wait, she has a key to the top floor?

As a member of the student council, Chinatsu Kume secretly copied a key to the rooftop for her own use. At this perfect moment, she opened the rooftop door and rushed out.

Dou Tang shook his head helplessly and followed.

The wind was quite strong on the top floor. Kume Chinatsu rushed out for more than ten meters, then looked towards the stairwell. Toudou was walking out of the door at a leisurely pace, leaning on the door frame with one hand, and sighed, "Hey, Kume-kun, am I that scary?"

"You, you, you, don't come any closer!" Kume Chinatsu retreated weakly, her fingers gripping her key and pointing it at Tou Tang, as if the short key had turned into a knife.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Dou Tang looked completely innocent. "I was going to ask you what that thing you just stuck on me was! Why do you look so frightened?"

"Stop pretending! You're that Fall Guy, aren't you! I recognized you, so you're trying to silence me! Has the real Kiryu Toudou already been killed by you?!"

Hearing this question, Dou Tang raised an eyebrow: "What the heck? I don't understand what you're talking about. But... does Kume-kun also know about Fall Guys?"

Chinatsu Kume gritted her teeth: "Are you still pretending to be stupid?!"

Dou Tang suddenly seemed to realize something: "Oh! I understand now, so Kume-kun is the student whose face was blurred in the recently updated video."

"Give birth? No wonder!"

Then, seemingly excited, he rubbed his hands together and asked, "Kume-kun, to be honest, I'm actually a Fall Guys fan! Did you really see him?! Do you know him?! Could you introduce him to me?"

These few words drove Chinatsu Kume crazy.

……What?

Intuition told Kume Chinatsu that he was lying, but the sincerity on his face, and even his fanatical worship of Fall Guys, was so real that it sent Kume Chinatsu's already confused mind into another state of stagnation.

As he spoke, Dou Tang's face showed some sadness again, and he sniffed: "Kumei, if you really have any news about Fall Guys, please be sure to tell me. To be honest, after the incident a year ago, my sister and I have been frequently encountering paranormal events."

Do you frequently encounter paranormal events?

You, me...

If this person is lying, then the expression on his face is far too realistic! His worry for his sister (which is real), and his distress over the paranormal disturbances (which is also real), are all too real!

Chinatsu Kume paused, as if pondering what Toudou had said, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Don't try to fool me! That talisman from before... that was a real talisman drawn by an Onmyoji! Why did it suddenly break?!"

At this point, Dou Tang began to feign tears. It has to be said that the sight of a handsome young man standing at 1.8 meters tall wiping away tears... made his previous words seem even more believable.

"That's because I'm haunted by vengeful spirits... After what happened a year ago, my sister and I have been frequently haunted by vengeful spirits. My sister still can't go out, while I'm able to live a normal life because I have a stronger masculine aura."

“Oh, my poor sister… she still has nightmares from time to time…”

I'm telling the truth! It's just that my masculinity is so strong that I can kill vengeful spirits on the spot!

Seeing Dou Tang's disheveled and tearful appearance, Kume Chinatsu paused for a moment, and finally put down the key in her hand with some lingering fear.

"Is this like this..."

Dou Tang silently awarded himself an Oscar for his acting skills.

Chapter 17 Whose head is telling the story?

And so, half of the lunch break had passed, and Dou Tang was still rambling on, telling stories that were half true and half false. He sat on the ground, while Kume Chinatsu sat a few meters away from him, wiping away tears and sniffling.

"Kiryu-kun, waaaaah... It's so tragic, poor Ayane-nee... waaaah..."

Seeing the campus idol crying her eyes out, Dou Tang felt a sense of satisfaction.

"By the way, speaking of which, isn't Kume one of the people who appeared in the latest Fall Guys video?"

He turned on his phone and logged into the Fall Guys website. The black website design gave it a mysterious feel, and the eerie close-up of the Fall Guys made it look quite scary.
