CONAN: I have a compositing station

Natsuki looked at the girl in front of him lightly, the girl did not remove her disguise, and her face was still crisscrossed with wrinkles.

As a well-known island, Mermaid Island has always had legends of immortality.

The longevity of the mother, who is already one hundred and thirty years old, is a living legend of longevity.

Legend has it that the longevity mother was able to live a long life because she ate the meat of a mermaid.

Every year, Mermaid Island holds a festival.

Business bigwigs, politicians, etc. will come to admire it.

Visitors only need to pay 5 yen to get a number plate.

Then, after the longevity ceremony is completed, the number plate will be drawn.

Visitors who are drawn will receive the forbidden arrow of the dugong that is cast an exorcism spell.

Legend has it that those who obtain the Dugong's arrow will be given the ability to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and bless them to avoid evil in the following period.

If you are favored by a mermaid, you can receive the true blessing of the Dugong's arrow.

- Immortality, eternal youth.

Therefore, Mermaid Island is crowded with tourists every year.

After all, immortality has been an enduring proposition since ancient times.

The appearance of negative items on the "longevity mother" in front of me is also related to this.

The girl's name is Shimabukuro June, and the real longevity is her great-grandmother.

Originally, the celebrations on the island were hosted by the great-grandmother.

Until the old man died because of old age, the task of pretending to be a longevity and continuing to pass on the legend of the mermaid fell to Junhui's mother.

Five years ago, in order to fully play the role of a longevity mother, Junhui's mother announced her original identity dead under the guise of a shipwreck, and has been living as a longevity mother ever since.

Until three years ago, Junhui's "little friend" held a grudge for not drawing the dugong arrow and drank heavily near the shrine.

The three young people who drank too much, after seeing Junhui's mother pretending to be a longevity mother, had a whim to verify whether she was really a symbol of immortality as rumored.

So they locked the longevity in the warehouse and set a fire.

The three people did not think that they had made a big mistake, but later found that the longevity mother was not dead, and left the bones of a suspected mermaid at the scene of the fire and became more and more convinced of the power of the longevity mother.

The corpse in the fire, with no leg bones in the lower body, was rumored to be the corpse of a mermaid.

In the fire, Junhui's mother also called Junhui.

"Junhui, my mother likes this island too much, so please don't let the longevity mother die like this."

Because of her mother's commission before she died, the girl Junhui continued to pretend to be a longevity mother.

And one of the three little friends, because he had a good relationship with Junhui to wear a pair of pants, specially ran to ask Junhui.

She wanted the mermaid's ashes.

The ashes of the mermaid found in the fire were buried by the longevity who did not "die", and the tomb of the mermaid was piled up.

"I want to be like her, even if she is riddled with fire, she can survive safely, so I don't know how good it is."

Little Partner One once said to Junhui like this.

......

Maybe it's because Natsuki's clear eyes have a look that sees through everything.

Facing Natsuki's gaze, Junhui remembered her revenge plan again.

I remembered my mother's instructions before she died.

And the crazy face of the little friend who rightfully ran to himself and asked for the whereabouts of the tomb of the mermaid.

"Lord Shenming, do you know everything?"

muttered Junhui.

Natsuki nodded noncommittally.

Jun Hui trembled and bent down and bowed to Xia Mu.

"Lord God, allow me to refuse..."

Before the last word was finished, a crisp voice interrupted her.

Natsuki tossed a coin on the ground.

"The gods cannot be rejected."

Natsuki spoke lightly.

The coin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

After a few bounces, the coin stood on the ground.

Snap.

Natsuki pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

A faint smoke ran down your fingertips.

"Take it."

Natsuki handed the lit cigarette to Junhui.

Jun Hui looked curiously at the strange god in front of him.

Cigarette?

Why would the gods give her a lit cigarette.

Although she was puzzled, she subconsciously reached out and took it.

"Stand up."

Natsuki nodded and said lightly.

Junhui, who did not know why, nodded, she bent down, reached out and groped for a moment at her thigh, and unbuttoned a button.

A splint with a belt was removed by her.

This is the key to her and her mother pretending to be longevity.

By bending your legs and fixing them, you can use your knees to walk and imitate a longevity woman who is less than one meter tall.

After lifting the restraints on her legs, Junhui stood up and returned to her original tall height.

Her original height was not low, and she could be as tall as Natsuki's shoulders.

It is hard to imagine how a person close to one meter seven can walk only on his knees by binding his calves. You can pretend to be an old woman less than a meter tall.

Even if Xia Mu witnessed Junhui standing up, he felt incredible.

Even if Natsuki has also mastered cross-dressing and transfiguration...

"Jingxiang."

Natsuki continued to speak.

"Lord God..."

Jun Hui tried to explain.

She already had a careful plan, as long as she waited for this year's celebration, she could send those three damned people to hell.

The lives of those people have decayed, and after having fallen in the pursuit of immortality, such people are not worthy of the hands of the gods who have never met....

"Jingxiang."

Natsuki repeated again.

Junhui met Natsuki's eyes, and she understood what Natsuki meant.

The gods cannot refuse.

Junhui had to hold the lower end of the cigarette in both hands and bow slightly to Xia Mu.

"Wish granted."

Just when Jun Hui was puzzled, the strange god boy, after forcibly making her make a wish, took the cigarette in her hand.

Natsuki took the cigarette and took a puff.

Now, he has his first believer.

This was the first incense he received.

It tastes....

Nothing has changed....

......

Natsuki took Junhui and found three "friends" who returned to Mermaid Island in advance to participate in the celebration a month later.

Junhui said that he could steal the arrow of the dugong of the longevity mother, and tricked the three "little friends" to the shrine.

Natsuki was on the side to make sure that no trace was left.

When the three arrived at the shrine, Natsuki knocked them unconscious and strung them with a rope.

Night.

Natsuki set off with Junhui and three "little friends".

"Remember where I came from?"

Natsuki asked.

Junhui nodded.

Natsuki, who had the intention to experiment with Junhui's eyes, let Junhui show the way, and Natsuki followed the direction she pointed out and flew.

Because Natsuki did not change direction on the way here.

So after Junhui confirmed the direction of Xia Mu, he actually took Xia Mu back to the island where Mustache was!
