Why are there only loser heroines around me?

Everyone looked around for the missing Ukyo.

"The phone is busy." Yanaijian spread his hands.

Volume 42: Chapter He is not alive

For lunch today, we didn’t plan to eat together. Instead, we all went back to the youth hostel to take a nap after eating. We will discuss the afternoon and evening activities after the nap.

But Yanami and Ukyo prepared two sandwiches in the morning, intending to eat them together at lunch, but Ukyo disappeared without saying hello.

Yanaijian looked at the two sandwiches in the lunch box and couldn't suppress the gluttony in his stomach.

He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Ukyo: "Where have you been?"

It was strange that the other party didn't answer the call, but the message was returned.

"I'm nearby. I won't have lunch with you."

He seemed to have seen through Yanami's little plan long ago, and added another sentence after this one.

"You can help yourself to the two sandwiches. I might not be able to have lunch today."

“…”

at the same time.

Shibakawa Port is a short distance from the beach.

Lying on the ground were the body parts that had just been salvaged. The scattered fragments had been sorted out by the police. The rest had either been washed away by the sea or eaten by swimming fish and flying birds. Detective Maori, who was in charge of the case, initially concluded that this was a dismemberment case.

The surrounding tourists have been controlled by the police and are awaiting questioning. A group of onlookers have gathered on the shore, looking up.

After getting out of the car, Youjing put on gloves, showed his ID to the auxiliary police guarding the scene, and successfully entered the crime scene.

Detective Maori, at his wit's end, spotted his savior and immediately approached him, saying, "Sorry to have delayed your vacation, Ukyo. It's mainly because you happened to be near the scene."

"It's okay." Youjing said briefly and immediately squatted down to examine the body.

"Any ideas?" Ukyo asked.

"The preliminary conclusion is that this is a very serious case of dismemberment!" said Mao Li.

"wrong."

"what?"

"The perpetrator of a dismemberment case usually cuts up the body to make it easier to destroy the evidence. They'll dispose of the body parts in batches and at different times, making it more difficult for the police to solve the case. The body you recovered, while mutilated, is intact and doesn't fit the profile of a typical dismemberment case."

Detective Maori suddenly realized, and then he saw his younger brother's contemptuous expression, as if he was wondering how he graduated from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Academy.

"What did the coroner say?"

"No." Mao Li said, "There are too many cases today, and the coroner in the team can't make it."

Forensic medicine is also a scarce profession in Japan. To be trained as a forensic medicine doctor, one needs to complete six years of medical studies during college. However, the average income after employment is less than half of that of ordinary doctors, and there is no way to get promoted. No one wants to carry a tool box and deal with corpses after graduation.

Ukyo asked, "I remember that the murder rate in Toyohashi City is relatively low compared to the surrounding cities, so it's rare that we're overwhelmed. What happened today?"

At this point, Mao Li sighed and said, "I don't know either. Lately, a game called 'Suffocation' has become all the rage among young people. Anyone who achieves the game's goal dies in a gruesome manner, with wounds suspected to have been inflicted by some kind of wild beast, and each victim's wounds are unique. This morning alone, three people died in this game. Since the first case, the original 'Suffocation' video has been removed, but unfortunately, so many people have shared it that it will probably take weeks for the negative impact to fully subside."

"Hmm?" Maori seemed to suddenly realize something.

“I remember your social media also features supernatural content, right?

Hey! Don't get carried away and try playing that "Suffocation" game! Your parents are still alive, so there's probably no one in particular you want to see, right? Don't get yourself killed just for the thrill of it!

"I heard that you've been having a lot of luck with women lately. Your friendless days are almost over, but don't let this happen at this critical juncture..."

Ukyo seemed not to have heard these words, but stood up and shifted his gaze to a cruise ship not far away.

He said to Maori, "The body died within six hours. There are no irregular flaps of flesh where the incisions were made, indicating signs of back-and-forth cutting. So it's unlikely to have been left by conventional dismemberment tools like saw blades, electric saws, or boning knives. Let's check for cruise ships that passed through this area during this time. Perhaps we can find this person's boarding information. I think these incisions look like they were caused by a ship's propeller."

Detective Maori was stunned and asked, "Brother Ukyo, can you also perform autopsies?"

"will not."

"Then how do you know this body wasn't dismembered by someone?"

"Because I've seen bodies chopped up by saw blades, chainsaws, and bone-chopping knives... I've also seen wounds caused by hunting knives, swords, and pistols, weapons that aren't so common in criminal cases. My analysis just now is just based on experience."

"Haha~, Ukyo brother is joking again."

Detective Maori said with a chuckle, "I assumed you had secretly studied forensics. Then, Ukyo...how did you deduce that these fractures came from the propeller?"

Ukyo said, "Once I was on a cruise ship to the Greenland Sea. The ship hit an iceberg. Some people thought they were doomed, so they jumped off the stern. I happened to see the bodies floating on the sea..."

Maori thought to himself, you are so young, but you have seen a lot.

"But how did you survive when the ship ran aground?"

"It's a long story."

He didn't live, he just wore it.

Ukyo said, "It doesn't look like your job as a detective is to chat with high school students, right?"

This sentence made Mao Li sober up a little, and he immediately arranged for police forces to check the cruise ships passing through Shibakawa Port within six hours.

The case is too large in scope, with too few clues, and the forensic doctor is not here yet, making it extremely difficult to solve. It will probably end up in the archives and disappear from the world once the statute of limitations expires. There are many such cases, and Detective Maori is already used to it.

"Brother Youjing, I have something to tell you before I leave."

"You said."

"I know you're interested in the supernatural at your age, but the game 'Asphyxiation' is no joke. Don't touch it."

.......

...

When I was riding my bike back to the youth hostel, I saw Lemon on the beach.

She was alone, walking in a straight line on the beach with her hands in the pockets of her sun protection jacket.

Ukyo stopped the car, wondering why she didn't go back to the hotel.

He was just waiting by the roadside when a message from Detective Maori suddenly came on his phone.

The identity of the deceased was found out. He was the inventor of the "Asphyxiation" game. He told everyone on the cruise ship about his identity and was very high-profile. Mao Li found hair and fingerprints in the cruise ship room where he stayed. The moment the data was entered into the Internet, he found all the identity information of this person.

This game has a huge impact all over the world, and the case needs to be handed over to Interpol. Maori complained to him that he thought the case would be buried, but the result was completely the opposite. It is no exaggeration to say that it caused a thousand ripples. The inspector did not allow him to continue to interfere in the case, and wanted to set up a new countermeasures team with Interpol. He was driving back to the police station, ready to quarrel with the inspector.

Ukyo closed his phone.

At this moment, Lemon caught a glimpse of the familiar Kawasaki H2R out of the corner of his eye.

Ukyo pretended nothing happened and put his phone in his pocket.

In an instant, he seemed to have switched from a seasoned on-site detective back to an ordinary high school student. The transition was so natural that Lemon, who was stunned, didn't notice anything abnormal about him at all.

"Have you had lunch?" Ukyo asked when Lemon came over.

"Have not eat yet."

Is it because of the heartbreak you had yesterday afternoon that you have no appetite until now?

Sure enough, the sadness of a broken heart is not so easy to get rid of.

"Let's go eat together?"

"No, I'm not very hungry." Lemon seemed to have noticed something and said with a smile, "Are you worried about what happened yesterday?"

"Yes." In some ways, he never lied. "My idea wasn't very good. Don't listen to me next time."

Regarding the unsuccessful confession in the club office yesterday afternoon, Youjing always felt that he had done something unnecessary.

"It's okay." Lemon said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm fine now, right? I'm the kind of person who can cry in two seconds if I want to~"

There were no tears on Lemon's face, which meant that her emotions were still normal.

But how to say it...

I feel like I'm just holding on.

"Where did Ukyo go just now?"

"Look at the sea."

Volume 43: Chapter Tell the Truth

It wasn't a lie, he did watch it.

Lemon raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a smile, and suddenly kicked up the sand.

"That guy is so slow, but he secretly got a girlfriend."

The kick was quite powerful, and it seemed that she was very resentful of Mitsuki for having a girlfriend without telling her.

Among his peers, Mitsuki Ayano is a steady type, at least before getting to know him in depth, just looking at his daily behavior, he is indeed unique among a group of immature 15-year-old high school boys. It is normal for such a person to be liked by girls.

Judging from the experience that Ukyo had been in the same study group with him, Ayano Mitsuki was not the type to keep a tight rein on her mental defenses, so he let Lemon take the initiative, but unexpectedly someone else got there first.

Asagumo Chihaya.....

That child is not simple.

"I've always been by his side..." Lemon suddenly said as they walked on the beach, "...We've been together for years. I've hinted at it, so why can't he see it? Ukyo, when it comes to confessing your feelings...it can't always be the girl who speaks first, right? Could it be that Mitsuki has never considered me a girl?"

Lemon's "stupidity" is even more serious than Yanami's, and Ukyo finds it difficult to imagine what the "hints" she mentioned will look like in practice.

But there is one thing that Youjing agrees with. When it comes to confessing feelings, no matter the group, it is usually the boys who speak first. If the boy doesn't say anything, excluding the possibility that the other party is emotionally dull or has a dull personality, then he definitely doesn't like the other party... or in other words, it has not reached the level of becoming lovers yet.

"I heard that most high school couples break up after a year. Maybe you still have a chance after a year."

"What? Ukyo...is this a consolation?"

"Yes."

“That’s terrible.”

Shaoyan complained with a serious expression.

Bad? Ukyo didn't think so. Waiting until they'd naturally parted ways before taking action wouldn't make him look like a bad kid, and it made sense.

Except that the one-year cycle is quite torturous.

But time flies by in high school, especially in my junior year after sophomore year. In Japan, there's a custom of writing a "countdown to college entrance exams" on the back blackboard. Watching the numbers on the back decrease day by day, I thought my senior year, which was supposed to be arduous and long, would slip away quietly.

At that time, only those couples who can truly be together, whose love for each other is stronger than gold, and who are admitted to the same university can be considered the real winners.

The reason for adding the prerequisite of "the same" university is because long-distance relationships are also a major cause of breakups.

Ukyo shared his understanding with Lemon.

But Lemon is still at the age where she believes in love. She firmly believes that if she and Mitsuki are together, they will definitely get married.

Ukyo calls her naive, and Lemon gets angry at her friend's "reality."

After a period of silence, Lemon began to run on the beach. Ukyo re-ignited the engine and maintained a constant speed on the side of the road. She seemed to think that she could catch up with the car, but in the end she was out of breath after only five minutes.

Running barefoot on sand requires more energy than on flat ground.

"I seldom advise others to give up something, but frankly speaking, I don't think you have much chance." Yanami always feels powerless when talking about insignificant people, and the same is true for lemons, but Ukyo is a person who has long gotten rid of the feeling of powerlessness. He doesn't like these losers around him, and this "feeling" accounts for a large proportion.

In the past, he tried to persuade his junior fellow student out of frustration, but ended up getting himself very angry. After doing some ideological work, he was ridiculed instead.

Later, he tried to persuade Yana to do whatever it takes, but ended up being labeled with a bunch of strange labels.

Since no one wants to listen to inspirational speeches and motivational proclamations, he will change his style and speak the truth to those who have failed in relationships.

"You don't stand a chance" was Ukyo's truth.

Moreover, he has a lot of truth to say.

"Think about it, is Mitsuki happier when she's with you or when she's with Asagumo? Maybe in the first 12 years of your lives, you were the happier person, but I think you've noticed that someone has taken your place, and now Mitsuki is happier when she's with Chihaya."

Unexpectedly, Lemon suddenly stopped and shouted at him, "If I want to make someone happy! There is always a way!"

Youjing was stunned. He didn't expect that this conversation would be reversed one day and he would become the one asking the question.

The girl burst into tears on the beach.

Youjing made his "friend" cry again. It turned out that men and women have different sensitivities to emotions. No matter what he said or how angry he was when he was trying to persuade his junior brother, he would always laugh and complain, change the subject, or try to argue with him by giving other examples. The two of them would push each other back and forth, and the final result would often be that he would be so angry that he would almost succumb to the strange twisted logic.

But girls are different. They will only play along with you once at most. When it comes to "feelings", girls who have never been in love have a very low threshold. It seems that as long as their heartstrings are touched a little, they will burst into tears.
