I started Hyakki Night Walk in Tokyo

Chapter 21 Is This Reality?

Get out of the jewelry store.

"It's raining?" Chie Kamikawa raised her snow-white forehead and blinked her slender eyelashes.

I was so busy chatting with my classmates that I didn't notice that it was raining.

Mizushima Iori suggested: "The rain is so heavy, it won't stop for a while, let's go back to the jewelry store and buy an umbrella."

Soon.

They came out again, each with an extra umbrella in their hand.

"Let's go."

Mizushima Iori walked out with an umbrella.

Heavy rain.

The sky was rainy, dark clouds rumbled, and thunder sounded from time to time.

There are many fewer people on the street, the bustle is no longer there, and the atmosphere is cold.

Kamikawa Chie's mood was not affected by the bad weather at all.

When people are in a good mood, everything is good.

This is the case with Chie Kamikawa.

The rainwater hit the Japanese-style roof tiles, and in Kamikawa Chie's ears, the beating sound was crisp and pleasant.

Slightly raised his head and looked at the Japanese-style eaves of the houses on the street next to him.

The rainwater splashed down and merged into the gutters of the eaves, and the water was gurgling.

On the roof two distinct sounds merged.

looking at the ground.

Under the heavy rain, small puddles formed on the ground.

When the rain falls, big and small beads fall on the jade plate, and the crystals are sprinkled, and the sound is like a rattle drum, intertwined with dullness and lightness.

Listening to the sound of rain echoing in the ear, like various musical instruments, playing a symphony, Chie Kamikawa stepped over a small puddle.

at this time.

Kamikawa Chie, who was chatting with Mizushima Iori and the others, looked at the corner of the street under the eaves.

There was an old tramp there.

He stood under the eaves to hide from the rain, but the rain was too heavy and the eaves were too small to hide much rain at all.

Most of the hair was wet, and the shoulders of the clothes were all wet.

Due to wandering, the other party's body looked thin and thin, and he didn't have anything to keep out the rain, so he could only keep rubbing his arms with his hands to resist the cold rain.

"Ah!"

The old tramp sneezed.

Because it was too cold, he leaned inward to the shop beside him, but was chased out by the shop like a fly.

He had no choice but to return to the other side of the roof.

"Ugh."

The old vagrant sighed.

When will the rain stop? It's so cold.

It won't rain for a day, it seems that there is no place to hide from the rain in this place.

Call ~

God seems to be against the old vagabond, a gust of wind blows.

The wind is mixed with rain, and it is chilly in this season when autumn is turning east.

The old tramp shivered, wiping the rain from his face.

I won't freeze to death today...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the sad old tramp froze for a moment.

What about rain?

It was raining in front of him, but he found that the rain did not fall on him.

The old tramp raised his head subconsciously.

On the top of his head, at some point, there was an extra umbrella, and next to him, there was a girl, who was holding the umbrella.

Looking at the umbrella, looking at the girl.

The old vagabond was stunned, unexpectedly.

The girl didn't just happen to be next to him with an umbrella covering him, but the girl was holding an umbrella for him.

His eyes fell on the girl's shoulder.

Because the umbrella was not big, the girl deliberately covered the old homeless man, and her left shoulder was partially wet by the rain.

"Uncle, this umbrella is for you." Chie Kamikawa handed over her umbrella.

The old tramp froze.

This was the first time someone handed him an umbrella since he was robbed of the house by his son and kicked out. He became a homeless man.

The old tramp didn't recover until he took the umbrella in his hand.

"Goodbye, old man."

Hearing this, the old tramp came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Well...take your umbrella back, give me your umbrella, you have no use for it."

Chie Kamikawa smiled, and pointed to Iori Mizushima and Mie Komuro who rushed over.

"It's okay, I can use the umbrella with my friends."

"My God, Chie, I said, why are you running so fast, you are giving an umbrella, you..."

Mizushima Iori wanted to say that Chie was stupid, she was just a tramp, but seeing the old tramp present, she didn't say the last word.

Chie Kamikawa seemed to know what Mizushima Iori was going to say, so she said it quickly.

"Iori, let's go, aren't we going to eat dessert?"

As she said that, she squeezed beside Mizushima Iori who had bought a big umbrella, and smiled, showing her cuteness.

Just when Chie and the others were about to leave, the old tramp wanted to thank her.

"Hey, little sister, do you want dessert? We happen to be going to eat too, why don't we go together?"

A voice like the throat of a male duck came.

Not far away, five or six young people came.

The one who spoke was a young man with Japanese bangs.

With one hand in his pocket and the other holding an umbrella, he strode forward.

Behavior, full of anger.

The other youths were not much better, either wearing earrings, tattoos, or dyed blond hair.

Seeing the six youths who were obviously social gangsters approaching, Chie Kamikawa, the three junior high school girls, would not be afraid.

Subconsciously leaning together timidly.

The six young men surrounded them as if they couldn't see their timidity.

"Little sister, what kind of dessert do you like to eat? Tell me, don't worry, we are not bad people."

Japanese-style bangs, with a frivolous tone, showing a smile that he thinks is very refined.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Fu Jian Mori, you can call me Mori, these are my friends, his name is Nakata, and that one is Dijing..."

"Yes, yes, we are not bad people."

The other young people agreed, and then stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"What's your name, little sister? Don't be afraid, I just want to treat you to a meal because I see you are so cute."

"Have a meal with P. Didn't you hear that they said they wanted desserts just now? Hehe, I know a good dessert shop. I'll take you there."

"I also know a sweet shop that is delicious."

"Dessert, I like to invite girls to eat chocolate bars."

The last young man's words caused the other gangsters to roar with laughter.

The laughter is unscrupulous and very obscene.

The three daughters of Kamikawa Chie had never seen such a scene before, and they were terrified.

Three junior high school girls gathered together, not knowing what to do.

It's still raining.

The rain was pouring down, pattering down.

Facing the siege of social gangsters, Kamikawa Chie was terrified, just like Mizushima Iori and Komuro Mie, her body trembled with fear and her legs became weak.

At this moment, she felt that everything had become terrible.

The face and words of social gangsters scare her.

To her ears, all kinds of pleasant rain sounds are not pleasant at this moment. They gather in her ears, like a drum set beating irregularly, appearing noisy and harsh.

Nissan...

Chie Uekawa, who was scared, thought of Zun Uekawa.

At this time, people came out on the street and in front of other stores, and they looked towards this side.

These people include men and women, teenagers, adults, and middle-aged people.

There was pity in everyone's eyes.

Most people just watched, only a very few people wanted to come to Kamikawa Chie and the others.

As a result, just as he took a step forward, instead of being stared at by social gangsters, he shrank back and gave up his thoughts.

Otherwise, he would be held back by the people around him, and he would stop walking when he watched the people around him shake his head to signal or speak.

In the end, no one stepped forward to rescue Chie Kamikawa and the others.

None of them.

They were just watching, whispering and discussing.

And when Chie Uekawa and the others looked at them, they cast their eyes for help.

These people all turned their heads away and avoided their help-seeking gazes.

Either pretend not to see it, or walk away.

Seeing this, Chie Kamikawa and the three of them never felt more cold and chilled than now.
