Chapter 17 Losers Eat Dust
Night fell, dark clouds covered the moon, and soon after a thunder, it began to drizzle.
In his room, Shimizu Koji had nothing to do. He took out his bamboo sword from his bag and looked at the rain outside the window. His mind gradually drifted away, and he recalled the Tie Zhu Yu he met a few days ago.
The real kendo.
Although Shimizu Koji was not a person who was really obsessed with kendo, he was indeed interested in it. After all, at present, this was his only way of self-defense and fighting, and fists and feet did not count.
Gun? That would be necessary, and he had to avoid troubles such as the police.
If he could not master his own Sharingan in a short time, it would be a good choice to learn about the real kendo.
But what would the real kendo be?
Shimizu Koji felt a little strange. Isn't it just a few slashes and stabs? There can't be any sword energy, right?
Shaking his head and getting rid of distracting thoughts, Shimizu Koji was about to close the window, but there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs, at least four people, which made him stop and look out in confusion.
At the gate of the villa, Xiaolan was holding hands with Ota Masaru, sharing an umbrella and walking out of the rain curtain, heading towards the dark woods.
Taking a walk?
Shimizu Koji looked at the other two, Sonoko and Conan, who were crouching and following Ota Masaru and Xiaolan.
"What are you doing?"
Shimizu Koji's eyes were slightly condensed, a little confused.
The only information in his brain at present made him a little confused about this situation. Others were dating, what were these two people doing, making trouble? Or, peeping?
After thinking about it, Shimizu Koji ruled out the option of peeping. Although Sonoko didn't leave a good impression on him, she was only a little crazy. Sonoko would not do something without morality and taste like peeping, so it could only be making trouble.
Looking at the dark forest, the rain was still falling. Although Suzuki Ayako had just made an ambiguous joke to ask him to protect Sonoko, in this situation, he really needed to follow and take a look.
Carrying a bamboo sword, Shimizu Koji looked at the height from the second floor to the ground and jumped directly from the windowsill.
"Pah", just a little splash of water, Shimizu Koji's eyes were locked on Conan and Sonoko, and he quickly followed.
And with his speed, in a few seconds, he was hanging behind the two at a suitable distance.
Conan and Sonoko seemed to have a tacit understanding at this time. Although the two did not say a word, they moved in unison, poking their heads, lowering their heads, crawling forward, hiding under trees, almost making people think that they were playing some kind of imitation show.
"Ah——!"
But soon, with the rumble of thunder, Xiaolan's scream came from the front.
When Shimizu Koji was still hesitating whether it was the interest of the date or some unexpected situation, Sonoko and Conan had already rushed out directly.
When Sonoko and Conan arrived, only Ota Masaru, who was in a panic, was at the scene. He was frightened again by the two people who suddenly appeared.
"Uh, you, that, Miss Mori was frightened by the thunder, I..."
Sonoko and Conan were anxious to find Xiaolan's trace and had no time to pay attention to him. This handsome guy smiled apologetically at the air.
Less than a minute later, another scream sounded. Compared with the previous scream, this time it was obviously an emergency.
Kouji Shimizu, who was following in the dark, hesitated for a moment, then directly avoided the three people in front and rushed to the source of the sound.
"You, who are you! Ah——!"
Kouji Shimizu arrived at the scene and just saw Xiaolan dodging a big axe chop from the cloaked bandage man with a face full of fear, but she also fell to the ground because of it.
The axe blade shone in the rain and the dim light of the night, and the powerful blow directly buried half of the axe body into the ground.
"Shimizu-kun!" Ran showed a surprised expression when she saw Shimizu Koji, and the bandage monster immediately pulled out the axe and chopped directly at Ran.
Shimizu Koji did not respond, but raised his sword. Although this posture is difficult for ordinary people to exert force, with his own strength, he still directly knocked the axe in the hand of the bandage monster away.
The bandage monster did not expect this to happen. He was a little confused and glanced at Shimizu Koji in fear, and then went into the dark forest without looking back.
Shimizu Koji took a step forward, but looked back at Ran who was sitting on the ground and was still in fear. He hesitated for a second, but walked back to her side and reached out to help her up.
"Sister Xiaolan!"
"Xiaolan!! Shimizu-kun!"
Sonoko and Conan finally rushed over. The two saw the axe that chopped on the big tree behind Xiaolan at the first time. They were all shocked and hurried forward to hug Xiaolan to ask and comfort her.
"Woo, I'm fine, Sonoko, Conan, and Shimizu, thank you."
After comforting Xiaolan, Conan asked a few simple questions and walked to Shimizu Koji without saying a word.
"Did you find anything?"
Shimizu Koji glanced at Conan, who looked a little gloomy, and shook his head.
It was too dark at night, and the other party was obviously familiar with this forest. He didn't chase him, so naturally he didn't find anything.
However, he did have a guess.
"You, Sonoko, and Xiaolan go back first, I'll look for it here."
"I'll help too."
"No, you go back."
Shimizu Koji looked indifferent, and Conan was stunned for a moment after being rejected.
But following Shimizu Koji's gaze, he looked down at his small body, clenched his fists, and was a little unwilling, but in the end he followed Xiaolan and Sonoko to leave.
Watching them all the way into the villa, Shimizu Koji turned his head to look at the dark forest, and also walked towards the villa.
However, he went around to the dark side of the villa and did not go in directly.
About 20 minutes later, Shimizu Koji had frowned and was about to go back, when suddenly there was a strange sound in the forest, which made him, who had been paying attention to the movement nearby, immediately alerted and followed the sound and lurked in the dark.
After everyone left, Ikeda Chikako also left the villa, but she went out the back door, and before that, Suzuki Ayako sent her back to the room.
So, no one knew about her going out.
When Takahashi Ryoichi was interrupted by Shimizu Koji's impromptu murder plan, he ran to the agreed location and quietly waited for the woman to come to the door.
He didn't dare to go back, because Shimizu Koji's eyes frightened him, as if he had seen through him.
As for the ambush of Chikako Ikeda, the message would be visible as long as she returned to the room again, so he just had to wait here.
As for the exposure of his identity, to be honest, the plan was disrupted, and three unexpected people appeared. Now, he couldn't care so much.
In any case, he wanted that woman to die!
And finally, as expected, Chikako Ikeda was upset and didn't stay downstairs for long and went back directly.
After returning, she naturally saw the note left by Takahashi Ryoichi for her. She didn't even know about the bandage monster, and she didn't know about Xiaolan's attack at this time. She just gritted her teeth and secretly hated it and left the villa alone, and came to a place in the forest according to the message.
However, before she had time to shout "Come out", Takahashi, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, was like a ferocious beast seeing prey coming to the door, and suddenly pounced on it with a spare axe.
When Shimizu Koji arrived, in the thick night, he could vaguely see the black blood and countless rain mixed together, winding and flowing between the weeds and the bare ground.
A person who was alive not long ago, now had different corpses, and the head and limbs, at the connection between the torso, you can see the pale and bloody bones.
"Heh--, you're here."
"Unfortunately, you're late."
Takahashi Ryoichi stopped when he heard the footsteps, and threw Chikako's head to Shimizu Koji's feet.
He knew that he had been exposed and had no way to escape, but his full of tyranny and mental abnormality after killing people still prompted him to do such a thing, he wanted to anger Shimizu Koji.
But unfortunately, Shimizu Koji was not a bad person, but he was not a good person either.
He didn't even look at Chikako's head for a second. People who had nothing to do with him, let them die, he himself had died so many times.
Shimizu Koji had a cold expression. He swung his bamboo sword, and a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard. The next moment, the tip of the bamboo sword was against the forehead of Takahashi Ryoichi, who had taken off his disguise.
"Do you still want to fight me?"
Takahashi Ryoichi was still struggling in his heart, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed a hint of ferocity, the blade pointed directly at him, and the faint voice sounded again, instantly pouring cold water on his heart full of violence.
"You, I didn't expect that a first-year high school kid is so scary."
"But, if, if you weren't there this time!!!"
"Ha——, but it doesn't matter. Although I have been exposed because of you and have no way to retreat, that woman, she is finally dead."
Takahashi Ryoichi lowered his head, his voice hoarse and gloomy, and he was much thinner now without his disguise.
His fat face with glasses looked a little weird, and tears kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes, mixing with the rain.
It was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing. Anyway, his mental state could be seen from his somewhat confused words.
Therefore, Shimizu Koji did not ask further questions, because he knew that this guy would probably confess everything himself.
Takahashi Ryoichi went crazy for a while, and finally looked up at Shimizu Koji again.
"Aren't you curious about these?"
"You talk, I'm listening."
"Hehe, you little brat, you are really calm and scary"
Although Shimizu Koji was even taller than him, he knew the other party's age. Although Takahashi Ryoichi didn't even have the courage to fight, he spoke in the tone of a senior who deserved a beating, and it was really not ambiguous at all.
With a distorted sense of hierarchy, Shimizu Koji had no expression on his face, just gently turned his wrist, and with a "snap", he gave him a loud slap with the blade.
The loser should act like a loser.
