Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 96 Meeting, testing each other and getting straight to the point

"is it here?"

At 19:10, the three of them arrived at the door of the only primary and secondary school on Hido Island.

The source of the gunfire was on a hillside not far from the school. However, when the three of them went there, they found nothing. The most conspicuous target that could be seen on the hillside was the primary and secondary school.

The three people speculated that before going back in time, someone might have fired in the direction of the school and killed a target in the school.

It is not yet clear whether this matter is related to time retrieval.

So the three of them came to the entrance of the primary and secondary schools to investigate.

Looking at the mediocre school in front of her, Haibara Ai clenched the gun in her hand warily and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"If there were observers in the shooting incident just now, then maybe the other party might also change their actions, and coming to the school might not necessarily result in anything, right?"

Observer, or time observer, is a concept widely used in various works related to time. It usually means a person who can observe all time, a person who can maintain memory during time travel, etc.
Fujimaru Ritsuka replied:
"That's true, but this is the only clue we have. I think it's worth waiting, and we will see the answer by 19:55 at most."

Just like the question raised by Haibara Ai, the next situation may be divided into three types:

1. Neither party in the shooting incident was an observer, so without external intervention, there should be no change in the future direction;
2. If more than one of the two parties is an observer, one of the parties may change the course of action and not act near the school;
3. More than one of the two parties was an observer, but for some reason, they still placed the action near the school.

All things considered, waiting in school is relatively the most valuable option.

Moriarty smiled:

"Of course, that is if everything goes well, and other unexpected situations cannot be ruled out."

In fact, since the incident occurred on both the hillside and the school, it was the best choice to send people to both sides to check. However, considering that there were too many unknown factors at present, for the sake of safety, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to act together with the three of them. .

While talking, the sound of footsteps was heard. The three of them turned around and saw a man and two women who were also thinking about the school. After seeing the three people standing at the school gate, they immediately put on a vigilant posture.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the three of them.

A short-haired girl with healthy wheat-colored skin and wearing a sailor uniform; a foreign girl with snow-white skin and blond hair wearing a school swimsuit; and a handsome boy with a bun.

Ok?
Suddenly, she felt that the boy in front of her seemed familiar. At this moment, Haiyuan Ai beside her suddenly said:

"Sister Ritsuka, that man seems to be the guy who molested women on the boat."

Hearing this, she immediately clapped her hands and said suddenly:

"It's him!"

Hui Yuan Ai's voice was not too loud, but the three people in front of him could just hear it.
-
At this time, Amidai Shinpei was also observing them.

A lovely girl, a little girl, and an old man.
Three people he had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of them at the gate of the school, which made him immediately vigilant.

But at this moment, one of the little girls spoke and his body suddenly became stiff.

Immediately afterwards, two female voices filled with murderous intent sounded low in his ears——

"obscene.?"

".female?"

"Shen Ping, aren't you going to explain?"×2
"Wait a minute, Shio, Mio, calm down first!"

"It hurts, it hurts, are you a dog?! Let go!!"

"I didn't mean it, please listen to my explanation first!!!"

After a moment of turmoil, Amidai Shinpei finally managed to comfort the two women.

But in fact, Xiao Zhouchao and Xiao Zhou Mio just understood that the current situation was not the time to fight, so they kept the matter in their hearts for the time being, and prepared to settle accounts with him later.

So they once again turned their attention to the three Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of them. At this time, the blond girl named Kofunushio whispered to him:
"Shenping, none of the three of them are shadows."

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said:
"Not a shadow?"

None of the three people in front of him were residents of the island, and judging from what the other party said just now, they were probably tourists who came to Ridu Island on the same boat as him today, so they knew about his embarrassing incident on the boat.

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled that he seemed to have indeed seen three people on the boat, especially the cute girl among them.Although he mostly dozed off when he was on the boat, the embarrassing incident happened again as soon as he woke up. Moreover, at that time, he was only thinking about the trend and did not pay much attention to the situation of other people on the boat.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a cute and beautiful girl who is not often seen in big cities, and her orange-red hair is also very conspicuous, so even though he only glanced at her accidentally, the memory in his mind has always been very clear.

The tourists who came with him were not killed and turned into shadows, which means——

Are they completely irrelevant?

No, that's not true, but it doesn't make sense.

In the last reincarnation, I clearly didn't see these three people standing at the school gate.?

However, after learning that the three of them were not shadows and were most likely unrelated, he relaxed a little and chose to ask directly:
"Excuse me, why are you standing in front of the school? There don't seem to be any special attractions nearby? Are you lost?"

After seeing Amishiro Shinpei and the others, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also communicating in a low voice.

When the other party chose to communicate, Moriarty also smiled and said:

"Young man, do you know the legend about [Shadow Disease] circulating on the island?"

"what.!"

Upon hearing Moriarty's question, Amidai Shinpei's pupils suddenly shrank.

At this moment, Haibara Ai quickly took out the pistol hidden behind his back, held it with both hands, and aimed at the shadow at the feet of the blond girl named Xiao Zhoushio.

pistol?

little girl?
Are you serious?

However, looking at Haibara Ai who was holding a pistol in both hands and seemed to be only six or seven years old, Amidai Shinpei and the other three couldn't help but show vigilance, shock, confusion, absurdity... various complex emotions intertwined together, and they didn't know what to do for a while. How to react.

Moriarty smiled and asked the next question——

"Did you know that the girl next to you is just a shadow?"

"!"

The hearts of the three of them sank. At this moment, the friendly smile on the other party's face suddenly took on a dangerous tone under these words.

"and many more!"

No matter whether the gun in Haibara Ai's hand was real or fake, after Xiaozhou Mio reacted, she quickly stood in front of the tide, or shadow tide, and hurriedly defended:

"Although my sister is a shadow, she is a good person! It seems wrong. She is a good shadow, not a bad shadow!"

"Please don't hurt her!"

Moriarty did not comment on Mio's words, but turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka. This move made Amidai Shinpei understand that this cute girl was the real leader among the three.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and asked Amishiro Shinpei:
"Why were you so alert when you saw us just now?"

"this."

Netdai Shenping couldn't help but look away when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, she once again confirmed her guess.

Although their behavior standing at the school gate was a bit strange, it didn't look particularly strange because of the presence of Haibara Ai.

What's more, since there are shadows among the other party's companions, the other party should also know that they are not shadows, but humans.

But in this case, the other party was still very wary when they saw them for the first time, that is to say
So, under the disbelieving looks of Amidai Shinpei and the others, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and asked:

"Do any of you have time observers?"

　Because I used to post it in the morning and afternoon and often forget it in the afternoon, so I changed it to posting it together.
