(Shell...... So from tomorrow onwards, we will enter the month of shelling. ）

Ghost hunting is a game that becomes more difficult the more you get to the end.

Although it comes to the back, when most of the possible hiding places have been searched, the searchable range has been limited to a small range, but, on the contrary, perhaps in the middle, the places that have been left behind will also become completely blind spots due to the limitations of thinking.

In most cases, these blind spots will be completely missed and whoever is hiding in them will become the winner of the game, but it is precisely because I know that I will ignore those "special places" under the influence of all kinds of influences, and what I am going to do next is already biased towards the category of psychological warfare.

With the captured girls,Swaggering back and forth in the school garden - well,Such a patrol won't do anything in a sense.,But,At present, in addition to looking for Nagato and Asakura as much as possible,I can only put pressure on Haruhi Suzumiya in this way.。

"Really...... I haven't shown any horse's feet yet......"

According to the previous analysis, by this time, Suzumiya Haruhi's will to be shrouded in this game should have changed from "I will never be caught" to "everyone is going to be caught soon, and the next thing is myself", but, it seems, my judgment is still a little wrong.

Nagato-san, she ...... It doesn't seem to be affected by the power of Suzumiya-san. ”

Ichihime Furuzumi, who had been smiling and watching me walk around the school park like a headless fly, threw out this statement at the right time.

"Hey...... Huh? ”

"Hmm...... I guess it's like 'the body will be enveloped in the range, but the consciousness seems to be completely excluded', after all, the power of Haruhi Suzumiya-san, itself is limited to the 'Earth Planet' due to the limitations of consciousness, and only affects other areas in a few cases......"

"Wait...... Wait a minute......"

What the hell, what do you mean by that...... Because Yuki Nagato is an alien, she will not be affected by Haruhi Suzumiya's "will to the earth"? But...... That doesn't seem reasonable, does it? Not......

"Makoto-san's words, just think back a little about what Nagato-san said when he introduced himself."

Gu Quan still looked like he was smiling at my question, but no matter how he looked at it, that fox eye was expecting me to make a fool of himself.

Having said that, Nagato-san's statement when he introduced himself...... Information synthesis of the mindful body to the humanoid interface of the organic life form? Other words......

"...... outside the Earth's home planet Is the information integrated with the consciousness of the mind? ”

Looking up at the deep starry sky beyond the sky, I finally roughly understood what Ichihime Furuizumi said.

"Most of the time, the memories that Nagato-san experienced...... Or it is called a number jù, which will be transmitted to a special store called the 'information synthesis thought body' in real time, and stored as a backup, so even if it is affected by itself, as long as it can be connected and transmitted with the storage zài located outside the range of the 'earth's own star', you can easily get the correct number jù ......."

"Is that it...... But Gu Quan, you suddenly told me about this, shouldn't you want to sue ......me?"

Yuki Nagato and Ryoko Asakura, who have not been caught so far, should have been discovered and captured soon according to the established plot, but ......

"It seems impossible to rely on the will of Suzumiya-san to find Nagato-san, and,And it's not just that.,Compared to this me, who can only use superpowers under special circumstances...... Nagato-san's power is more suitable for use in this world. ”

Really...... In the end, it turned out to be like this.

If it were just a simple "ghost hunt", then the only places where a "quiet and silent girl who looked like Nagato" could hide was in classrooms, libraries, and ministries, which was also the result of the general impression that the girl left on me.

However, after being reminded by Kazuhime Furuizumi, I didn't wake up until now, and I realized what was wrong at the moment.

It's not that the method I used in the process of catching ghosts was wrong, but it's just that the plan to hunt ghosts that can produce utility for "humans" can't be effective in the face of a storage like Nagato.

But ...... If this method does not work for Nagato, I can understand it, but the problem is ......

Ryoko Asakura, a girl, is also one of the girls who hasn't appeared until now and hasn't been caught by me.

If Nagato has a special ability that can avoid being captured, then it may also be said that Ryoko Asakura just took advantage of the "confrontation" between Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato.

Haruhi Suzumiya, who can't be caught because of "the will that she won't waver if she doesn't get caught", and Yuki Nagato, who "won't be affected by Suzumiya's will and can't be caught", the existence between the two just forms a delicate balance now after several people are caught, and Ryoko Asakura is probably just in the gap between the two forces that arise.

In other words, if I can't catch Yuki Nagato, then Suzumiya will always be a hidden boss and wander outside the direction I can find, and Ryoko Asakura will also be unable to appear in my field of vision because of the protection of Suzumiya's will.

There's no more complicated ghost hunting than this, right? Even "Into Science" at 12 midnight can't explain the current tangled, almost paranormal situation, right?

"So...... Guquan will tell me this, it's definitely not as simple as just wanting to watch jokes on the side......"

In fact, by now, the solution to this situation is quite obvious - after all, a girl would not waste so much effort in explaining the current situation to me, and since the other person has explained it to me, it means ......

"Huh? Why does Makoto think...... What will I do to solve the problem? ”

Tsuruya, Xumei, Ah Xu, and the others have been left behind me and Guquan at some point, and I finally took the opportunity to have a showdown with Guquan Kazuhime, but the current girl is obviously enjoying the fun of teasing me.

"...... The previous Nagato-classmate.,But there were some who sent me a short message.,Whether it's Guquan-san or Nagato-s.,Actually...... In the bet between the two groups, they don't really want Suzumiya-san to win, right? ”

I don't know why, but from the message sent by Nagato, I can feel the girl's faint but irresistible will - in fact, in the entire SOS group, the only girl I can't see through is this Nagato Yuki, who has never shown his strength from beginning to end.

"Anyway...... I don't know exactly what Nagato-san has noticed, but if Makoto-san wants to find Nagato-san, it's not me who needs to be asked. ”

Unexpectedly, for my low-profile request, Gu Quan actually made it clear that she refused.

"Yes...... But ......"

"I've said it before.,My superpower isn't something that can be used casually in this world.,It's Nagato-san's ability.,In a sense, it's something more convenient.。

So, is everyone with superpowers so troublesome? In this case, it's no wonder that Nagato will work hard to develop magic, and if he just relies on these useless superpowers, he may really be defeated by the SSS group.

"What...... In the end, you will only say those useless words......"

"Oops, hey, I really don't want to be so complained about by Makoto-san, who has always planned to rely on others, in that case......"

In the face of my targeted accusations, he smiled more pleasantly, and in the end, Furuizumi Kazuhime still gave useful hints before everyone caught up.

"Actually...... Among the girls that Makoto cares about,There's a store that can find out Nagato's existence from the current situation, right? ”

Walk into the "Disappearance of Yuki Nagato" in Science

"Suddenly say something to talk alone...... It's going to be bad for the kids."

Obviously, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, he deliberately condemned me in such an unhappy tone, and in this county North High School, there is only a void.

It's obvious tsundere in character, but at least it won't mess around and just habitually complain - so if the proportion of pride is too much, it's like not putting your partner's coffee and becoming too bitter, and if the proportion of petite is too much, it's like putting too much sugar in your partner and becoming less mellow than coffee.

Of course...... I don't rule out the heavy taste of bitter coffee, but for me, a ratio of coffee to companion sugar is about 7:3, and I get a pleasant sense of enjoyment.

"It's okay, anyway, didn't she say something like 'I'm really worried that Sister Xuzi can't get married'?"

"That's it...... Even then, it has nothing to do with you."

Of course, this is just a joke, after all, with Xuzi's cute Cheng dù, even if the character is pure bitter coffee - the level of arrogance, the men behind him will rush to crawl under the girl's arrogant pleated skirt, for this, I still believe in this.

Because of the relationship between being alone, the girl's cheeks were flushed with a faint flush from beginning to end, perhaps because she had thought of another meaning contained in such "solitude", right? However, the content of the previous conversation didn't look like they were dating at all.

"So...... So, what the hell is it to suddenly call people into this empty classroom...... What to do? ”

When the routine spit and bickering was over, Xuzi finally asked the question that had puzzled her all along.

Actually, just now after Ichihime Furuizumi gave me a full hint, I suddenly understood who the girl was saying that "you can not be affected by the power of Suzumiya and Nagato at the same time".

I have a special skill that can easily distinguish the attributes and abilities of the opponent.,Although it doesn't come in handy most of the time in battle.,However,In normal times,Void is one of my indispensable logistics.。

According to Furuquan, the current Nagato is hiding somewhere in this school park using some special ability, right? I don't know why Nagato, who had sent me a text message before, intending to get the prefectural North High School out of the game early, did this, but if you want to find Nagato, I'm afraid you won't be able to rely on ordinary means.

"Anyway, if you're a kid, you should be able to see Nagato-san, who is hiding somewhere, right?"

"I haven't tried that much, though...... Wait, why do I have to help you do that? ”

Suddenly realizing the special meaning of my request, Kyoko immediately shook his little head into a rattle.

"Now Makoto has agreed with everyone to do a ghost hunting game, right? So, asking me to help is a foul in itself."

"Oops, oops...... As long as you don't say it, no one else will know about it, and ...... Wouldn't it mean that you couldn't find it without the help of a special ability from the beginning? ”

"That's also your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."

…… Always adhere to the point of view that "if you are in the game, you can't ask yourself for help", my cute Xuzi unexpectedly has the virtue of sticking to it...... Or maybe it's the shortcoming of being old-fashioned.

But if it's really talking, why would I ...... Subconsciously chose this kind of place?

The empty classroom didn't even turn on the lights, only the light of the corridor projected through the open doorway, shining slightly on the cheeks of the void.

However, even with this glimmer of light, I could clearly see that Kyoko's cheeks had turned crimson from the beginning, and when I said my request, the girl had a slightly disappointed expression, "I see."

Wait a minute...... Like, what am I doing wrong?

When the puffing image of the void was reflected in my eyes again, I suddenly realized the mistake I had made.

Speaking of which, if a girl is called out alone at night and chooses such a place to talk, it is generally a special event called a "tryst", right?

He deliberately called the Xuzi away from everyone, and came to this claustrophobic place where no one was around—and this place was very similar to the place when he had his first intimate exchange with the Xuzi......

"This classroom...... It can't be your classroom, right? ”

“…… Only...... Even if it is, what? Anyway, no one is there at this time......"

Really...... What an unexpected coincidence.

Judging from the girl's slightly puzzled expression, I'm afraid that from the beginning, it may be that Xuko misunderstood my intention to call her alone.

Suddenly said, "I have important things to talk about with Xuzi alone.,After that, I took the girl and ran to her classroom.,No matter how you look at it.,It seems like I've planned it in advance.。

But...... Even if it wasn't planned in advance, it doesn't matter now.

Sometimes, coincidences are often the key to what follows, and now, standing in front of me, tugging at the hem of his skirt with his fingers and deliberately twisting his head to the side, seems to be a case in point.

I had overlooked this before--there were also young girls waiting for me in this prefectural North High School, although before that she had not had this idea because she had not shown how positive she was...... Now it seems that even that kind of "inactive" is itself a factor to be considered in a tsundere way.

Other words...... The previous dialogue, coupled with this separate "tryst" now, may have meant the erection of the FLAG for Xuzi, and after that......

"It's a coincidence, but it's just ...... opportunity."

Anyway, if you want to convince the virtual child,I'm afraid there is no way to do it if you don't use some special means.,Plus everyone in the previous few school parks has broken the rules of the game in a mess.,That is to say,It's not a problem to have one more virtual child at all.。

Maybe...... I should have made up my mind from the beginning.,According to the current route, one school park at a time? But if there is no special rule that can make the girls burn...... Hmm, so let's just say, this kind of coincidence really makes people feel that "sometimes fate plays with people like this".

"So...... Don't think about that for a while, let's ......"

When I realized what I had to do next to make the girl in front of me smile, I became confident again.

“…… Slightly ...... How about doing another thing that violates the rules? ”

"Huh?"

The girl who subconsciously turned her head because of the sudden unclear words, and the exclamation that was about to be made in the next second was suddenly blocked by me in my lips.

Although the stubbornness of the void is really a bit troublesome, it ...... It's really not difficult to convince the girl in front of you.

Moreover, since this special environment and an atmosphere of solitude have been created by coincidence, it would be a waste if it was not used, as for the way to convince the girl...... As I said before, while the rules themselves are quite cumbersome, ah......

Rules are meant to be broken. V
