Chapter 15 New Adventure Combination
But this simple childhood didn't last long. After having a meager lunch at noon, the homeroom teacher suddenly announced that classes would be canceled in the afternoon.
Most primary school students were happy to hear that they didn't have to go to school, but a small number of students were concerned about why they didn't have to go to school.
Rin Tohsaka was one of them. She went to the office to ask the teacher for an explanation, but she overheard the teachers talking about the child who had gone missing a few days ago.
Because of Iskandar's actions yesterday, Caster's magic workshop was destroyed. The commotion caused by the destruction attracted attention, and the heinous crime of murdering young children was exposed to the public.
One of the missing students from the First Affiliated Elementary School in Shenyuan Township was a victim, and it is said that the murderer has not yet been arrested by the police.
The killer's activities were concentrated in Fuyuki City, and many students at the school were from Fuyuki City. For the safety of the students, the principal of the First Affiliated Elementary School decided to suspend afternoon classes after receiving a report of the child abduction and murderer in Fuyuki City.
The next few days will certainly be filled with tension and uncertainty, and there may even be continuous school closures until the murderer is caught and brought to justice, or until the negative impact of this incident is forgotten by the public over time.
Rin Tohsaka trembled as she listened outside the office. She thought of her classmate, Suzune, who hadn't come to school that day; Suzune also lived in Fuyuki City.
Worried about her friend, Rin Tohsaka used the payphone at school to call her friend's house. The call was answered quickly, and a woman's anxious voice asked, "Is this Kotone?"
"I'm not Kotone, my name is Rin Tohsaka, I'm Kotone's classmate. Kotone didn't come to school today, so I wanted to ask her what happened."
Rin Tohsaka's answer disappointed the people on the other side.
"Qinyin has disappeared. She disappeared yesterday. We're looking for her too. If you have any news about her..."
After the phone call ended, Rin Tohsaka was somewhat lost and dejected. As a mature little adult, she liked to act like an adult and watch TV news.
Therefore, she knew something about the kidnappers who appeared in Fuyuki City, but she never expected that such a disappearance would happen to one of her friends.
"We don't have classes this afternoon, let's go to the playground and play soccer together."
Back in the classroom, some children who couldn't go straight home were advocating what games they would play in the afternoon. Compared to their carefree attitude, Rin Tohsaka, who was the same age, seemed preoccupied.
"What's wrong?"
Broly noticed Rin Tohsaka's happiness level decreasing as he passed through the Crystal Palace, and couldn't help but ask about it.
"The sound of the zither... um, it's nothing."
People with troubles often have the urge to confide in others, but if the person they confide in is someone they feel will only cause them more trouble, then they should probably refrain from doing so.
Rin Tohsaka is more mature in her mindset. In her eyes, Broly is just a little classmate who needs to be taken care of, so there is no need to say anything that would frighten him.
Broly: "..."
It's nothing. Then why does the happiness value decrease? You know, every point of happiness value that disappears is equivalent to some food that hasn't been obtained yet vanishing into thin air. How can a foodie who cherishes food not be anxious?
But Rin Tohsaka really didn't want to say anything more, which left Broly somewhat at a loss for what to do. It wasn't until the school opened its gates to let the children who could go home return that Broly followed Rin Tohsaka as she left the school with her small schoolbag.
Rin Tohsaka decided to go to Fuyuki City to look for her best friend. This was a reckless act, but the thought that her friend might die made her feel unbearable. The girl, preoccupied with her thoughts, did not notice the little tail following her. She bought a ticket at the ticket office on the train platform, swiped her ticket through the checkpoint, and boarded the train that was just pulling into the station bound for Fuyuki City.
Broly had no money and didn't buy a ticket, but he used his height to climb under the railing at the ticket gate without being noticed by the ticket inspector, and managed to get on the same tram.
After boarding the train, Rin Tohsaka had more time to think and calm down, and she began to feel a little scared. After all, she was just a seven-year-old child.
Although she acts like a little adult in her daily life, she knows her own family's situation. She might have to face the criminal who kidnapped her friend and is suspected of kidnapping and murdering her. How could a child possibly...?
"Huh?"
A pair of small shoes appeared at the girl's feet, causing her to look up. When she saw her little classmate sitting next to her, Rin Tohsaka's mouth dropped open.
What are you doing here?
She asked it directly.
"I came here with you."
Broly was telling the truth.
"Ah, why?"
Rin Tohsaka was somewhat puzzled.
"You're not doing well, I'm worried about you."
Broly's statement is concise, omitting the crucial element of "happiness levels continuing to decrease."
Rin Tohsaka: "..."
She didn't know what to say, but the initial panic and tension were indeed somewhat relieved by the boy who suddenly appeared beside her.
Even when she was in front of her little classmate who needed care, she put on her reliable and mature little adult demeanor and started lecturing Broly with a stern face.
"Children should go straight home after school and not wander around outside; it's dangerous."
"Aren't you a child too?"
Broly countered with a question.
"I'm different. I'm going to visit a friend, and I'm more capable."
Young Rin Tohsaka blushed and defended herself.
"oh."
Broly nodded, believing her statement.
This gesture of agreement left Rin Tohsaka somewhat bewildered.
Aren't you going to refute what I said?
"Are you lying?"
No.
Rin Tohsaka straightened her chest, but her eyes darted away guiltily.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home later."
She changed the subject.
"I live over there."
Broly pointed in the direction of Fujimura's house from the tram and said that.
"So, what's the specific address?"
Broly didn't answer, but just stared at the girl with a blank look.
"Don't tell me you don't know your own home address?"
"I can find it myself."
Broly didn't remember the address, but he remembered the location.
That distance wasn't far, not even as far as his home on Planet Wanpa, which was far from the Wanpa Spider Cave nest.
"So, you're considered lost?"
Rin Tohsaka felt her head was spinning. Her old deskmate had disappeared, and her new deskmate had gotten lost and was following her astray on her way home.
"I'm not lost, I can find my way back."
Broly reiterated.
But Rin Tohsaka didn't believe a word the boy said.
The idea that he could find it himself was just the boy's stubbornness in not wanting to lose face.
"I'm going to find my friend Qinyin. After you get off the bus, go find a policeman and ask him to help you get home."
"What is a police officer?"
"You don't even know who the police are? That's okay, I can take you there after I get out of the car..."
Rin Tohsaka suddenly stopped. She thought that if the police saw her at her age, she would most likely be taken home.
"Alright, you should come with me to find your friend. I'll take you home after we find Qinyin. But you have to listen to me. If we encounter any danger, run when I tell you to."
Taking friends on an adventure isn't a good idea, but for young Rin Tohsaka at this point, it's the only option.
After all, she couldn't just go to the police and walk into their trap, nor could she leave her new classmate, who clearly needed someone to take care of him, in an unfamiliar place.
"it is good."
Broly nodded obediently, having no objection to what Rin Tohsaka had told him in advance.
Young Rin and young Broly, about to embark on a grand adventure in Fuyuki City, officially formed their partnership on the train.
After getting off the train, Rin Tohsaka, along with Broly, began searching along the route from the train station to her friend's house.
According to Rin's mother, based on the deductions of the famous detective Rin Tohsaka, Rin believes that her friend was abducted on her way home.
However, she is not a real detective who appears to be a child but is actually a high school student. Faced with a vast array of routes and buildings, Rin Tohsaka has no way of determining which area is more likely to be where the kidnapper is hiding.
The girl could only use a rather clumsy, exhaustive method to investigate, and even then, she had to use herself as bait.
Of course, we also need to add Broly, who's always right behind her, accompanying her on the investigation.
"I can't find it, I can't find it at all..."
As the sun set, Rin Tohsaka felt powerless as a child.
"Broly?"
Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to continue her headless search, she realized that the little tail following her was gone.
She became a little nervous. If she had already lost an old classmate, was she going to lose a new one as well, or was it someone else who had disappeared from her care?
However, when she turned back onto the original street, she found that the boy was only attracted by the takoyaki shop on the side of the street and stopped in front of the shop.
"Want some?"
After discovering that Broly wasn't missing, Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the boy's somewhat craving look, she went over and asked him.
"Um."
Broly nodded; the aroma of takoyaki whetted his appetite.
"Then I'll treat you to a meal."
Rin Tohsaka took out her small wallet and bought two servings of takoyaki.
She was getting hungry after walking so far.
The two went into the shop, found a seat, and waited for their takoyaki to be ready.
"I'm going to the restroom, don't follow me."
While waiting, Rin Tohsaka felt the urge to urinate, so she got up to go to the restroom. When she noticed that Broly wanted to follow her, she blushed and said something.
Broly obeyed and sat back down.
The sound of rushing water filled the air.
Just as Rin Tohsaka finished washing her hands and was about to come out, the magic pointer hanging on her chest made a sound.
This gadget was an early birthday gift from her father. It could detect people or things in the world that possessed magical power, mainly to help her avoid some hidden dangers in the world. However, she never expected it to react at this time.
Following the guidance of the magic pointer, Rin Tohsaka peeked out from the back door of the takoyaki shop and saw a boy passing by the alleyway next door, holding the hands of several children with blank expressions, his whole body bathed in the sunset, smiling brightly.
"Good children, follow your big brother. He will take you to play some fun games."
Wearing a magic bracelet made by his own heroic spirit that has a hypnotic effect on children, Ryunosuke Uryu gathers a group of adorable children.
After meeting Mr. Bluebeard, Ryunosuke Uryu felt his creative inspiration bursting forth constantly.
Because of the police search, he was unaware that his artwork had been vandalized by Rider.
He's smiling broadly now, thinking about creating his next artwork.
He has already created a human-shaped handmade piano; it is indeed art.
Therefore, the next thing to focus on is furniture, such as a human-shaped handmade piano chair, the kind that makes you hear children emitting beautiful cries when you sit on it.
[This person is suspicious; he exhibits signs of magical activity!]
Rin Tohsaka hesitated for a moment at the back door before quietly following them. She had no intention of calling Broly. Rather than following a dangerous guy who might be a kidnapper and murderer, letting her new classmate stay in the takoyaki shop and eat takoyaki was a more responsible thing to do for her friend.
"Your takoyaki."
Five minutes later, the owner of the takoyaki shop brought Broly two servings of finished takoyaki.
Broly looked at the steaming takoyaki, swallowing hard, but thought Rin Tohsaka was so slow.
The other party, whose aura was locked onto, seemed to be getting further and further away, and it was unknown when they would return.
and so……
[Is it okay if I eat the portion of food that my wife feeds me first? It's supposed to be mine, right?]
With that thought in mind, Broly reached out and grabbed the takoyaki with toothpicks stuck in it.
The round, plump takoyaki is piping hot and fragrant when you bite into it.
When you take a bite, the octopus tentacles inside have a bouncy, chewy texture.
In short, it's delicious.
Seeing other customers pouring sauces, Broly followed suit.
While Broly was enjoying his takoyaki, Rin Tohsaka was also carefully following the suspected kidnapper and murderer down a flight of stairs.
She hid behind a box in the corner of the stairs, and only after the man suspected of kidnapping and murdering her went out again did she quietly enter a somewhat abandoned underground bar.
Rin Tohsaka saw some kidnapped children here, including her missing classmate.
"Rin, Rin..."
No matter how you called her, the girl always looked blank and lifeless.
"They've been hypnotized by magic."
After checking, Rin Tohsaka deduced her friend's situation.
"Oh my, where did this child come from?"
Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to go out to find help, her path behind her was blocked by Ryunosuke Amuro, who had returned at some unknown time.
"If it weren't for Master's familiar, I wouldn't have realized I was being followed. But thankfully, the person following me is such a lovely child like you. So, what are you doing here?"
"I... I just accidentally took the wrong turn."
This unexpected turn of events caused Rin Tohsaka to break out in a cold sweat. The girl tried to explain herself and ran away from the side.
"Since you're here, why don't you play with your brother? Parties are more fun with lots of people."
However, Ryunosuke Uryu blocked her way and reached out to grab her. He thought that with the hypnosis bracelet, subduing a child would be a piece of cake, but as soon as he grabbed the girl's hand, a jolt of electricity made him, who was not prepared, let go of her hand.
Do you have static electricity?
Ryunosuke Uryu was somewhat surprised. Not being a magician, he didn't know that this was a hypnotic magic on the bracelet, which caused an electric shock-like effect after being resisted by the girl's magical instincts.
"Don't climb onto the bar counter. It would be bad if you fell and hurt yourself. It's better to have more complete creative materials."
After some twists and turns, Ryunosuke Uryu regained control of Rin Tohsaka, but as the girl endured the magical attack that made her consciousness drowsy, she used her own magic power to violently destroy the bracelet, and he was blasted away.
The hypnotic props were destroyed, and the children in the bar woke up. Finding themselves in an unfamiliar place, some of the children immediately started crying.
"Rin, what's wrong with me?"
"There's no time to explain. Come with me, everyone else too. Let's escape together."
Under Rin Tohsaka's loud commands, the bewildered children subconsciously obeyed her.
Just as Rin Tohsaka opened the door to escape, a sea monster descended from the sky.
"It's a familiar?!"
The sea monster's ferocious appearance frightened the girl, making her turn pale, and she quickly retreated.
"Luckily, I have a helper."
As Ryunosuke Uryu got up from the ground, he said with relief, and then took out a small knife from his pocket.
