stand-in creed

Knowing that I have already read the books in the study in the past 15 years, I brought in new books in boxes and boxes.

Knowing that I hadn't eaten anything in 15 years other than the Pocky on the nearest shelf at the Ocean convenience store, he got the grill and the meat, enjoyed a barbecue party for two in front of my house, and packed it for me Super delicious Italian food.

Knowing that I was interested in music, he even got a guitar, which he said was seized from a man named Sound Stone, a prisoner he had tracked down.I thought that a guy like Nero must also be very good at music, right?

It turned out that I couldn't find the pitch at all when I played it!

Seeing Nero playing the guitar out of tune, I smiled for a long time, and I smiled very happily, thinking that Nero looks so cute.

However, at that moment, I understood one thing——

I fell in love with Nero.

I fell in love with this foreigner whom I hadn't even known for a week.

And after I realized this, it was out of control.

I like his tall and straight figure, his handsome and handsome face, his blond hair as bright as the sun, his erudite knowledge when he chats about the humanities from all over the world, and his seriousness and prudence in reporting the progress of the case to me. , I like the tenderness of him bringing breakfast with me every morning because he is afraid that I will be lonely.

I even like the way I lie there quietly when I'm sleeping!

——Nero Zeppelin, the hero bestowed on me by the gods.

but……

Do I have the right to like him?

Probably not.

I'm just an earthbound spirit who can't leave the alley, and he is a traveler who travels north and south like the wind. How can the wind be bound in one place?

Nero has no shortage of girls to like him. He knew it when he secretly used Pocky divination to test his love luck that day. An excellent boy like Nero definitely has no shortage of girls to pursue him, so he should find someone who is even better. only girls.

A girl who can accompany Nero to travel far and wide.

No matter how bad this girl is, at least...she should be alive.

So I decided to keep this feeling of love that I didn't realize until 15 years after my death, which I never experienced before, until the day when the prisoner was dealt with by Nero.If I wait until that day, I will probably become a Buddha and leave, right?

At that time, just take this heart with you to that world.

Because I like him, I can't tell him——

— That's what I decided.

But I just can't stand it.

Time passed day by day, and the time spent with Nero was getting longer and longer.And on that rainy night, when Nero was attacked by a sudden stand-in attack, when I hoped to persuade Nero to leave Duwang Town safely and leave this prisoner alone, I finally couldn't hold back anymore.

I, Suzumi Sugimoto, want to tell him how I feel!

But the living and the dead.

The windy detective and the bound earthbound spirit.

It must not be happy.

But even so, I want to tell him that I want to enjoy a pink love that I have never felt before in my life at the end.

As for what will happen to Nero after I become a Buddha?

Probably will be very disappointed.

Such me, such Suzumi Sugimoto, is really despicable.He was so despicable that he would rather the prisoner never be caught than to stay with Nero for a few more days.

Sure enough, don't say it.

It is enough to be able to see each other like this, to be able to talk to each other, and to be able to spend ordinary days after days.This is the little happiness that belongs to my Suzumi Suzumi's last days.

……

"Suzumi."

"Hey?"

Nero is back.

It was the same as usual, I went out with the dog named Iggy during the day to find traces, and came to chat with me in the evening.

It's just that today is a little different from usual.

"I found the trace of Yoshikage Kira."

"Hey?"

"Sure enough, weird novels are not a lie. That guy is actually possessed by a ghost! He has possessed a guy named Kawajiri Kosaku, and I will kill that guy when the rain stops later..."

"Nero!"

"Ok?"

"Come with me!"

"Oh!"

Nero obediently followed behind me and arrived at Sugimoto's house as usual.

It's just that the moment the door closed, I couldn't help it anymore.

"Nero—!"

"... Suzumi?"

"I like you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, I threw myself into Nero's broad chest and kissed it on tiptoe.

Sure enough, I am a selfish bad woman.

Chapter 90

Crash.

The rain outside the window was falling quietly, getting bigger and bigger.

Nero lifted the quilt and lightly pecked Sugimoto Suzumi's face.

"I should go, Suzumi."

"..."

Suzumi Sugimoto sat up slowly, covering her naked body with a quilt in embarrassment, watching Nero get out of the quilt and put on his underwear.

After Nero put on his pants, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched Suzumi Suzumi's face with his index and middle fingers.

"When I get back, it's over.

"From now on, we will live together in Duwang Town, in this alley, until the day the world ends."

"..."

Suzumi Sugimoto opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back into her stomach.

Not caring about his naked appearance, he hugged Nero's waist gently from behind, and looked out the window worriedly.

"Nero, isn't it still raining?"

Suzumi Sugimoto still remembers that such a powerful Nero fell under the rain, with blood on his arms.

She also learned about Yoshikage Kira's stand-in ability from Nero's mouth, and all misfortunes encountered while tracking the other party will become the killer queen's bomb.

Just a few drops of rainwater crippled Nero's entire arm.

"It's okay, Suzumi."

"Hey?"

Suzumi Sugimoto was stunned, she couldn't understand the meaning of Nero's words.

Nero gently held Sugimoto Suzumi's hand holding him, and said softly.

"I've already understood that Killer Queen Miracle Song is a substitute for "Dominate Misfortune", possessing the power to turn misfortune into "Explosive Disaster". "

"so……"

"However, the swan song of Miracle has no effect on me."

"……Hey?"

"Because I have you, Suzumi, now I am undoubtedly the happiest person in the world. Do you still remember the day when you told me not to stand in the rain like a fool? It was as if you wanted to kill Kiraji The good news of Shadow's Death tells you that, no, even above that.

"Everything in this world is happiness.

"I am now able to achieve the state that Kishibe Rohan said——

"—I love this beautiful world."

After saying this.

Nero gently kissed Sugimoto Suzumi on the forehead.

"I'm leaving, I'll be back in a while."

Nero put on his coat and left Suzumi Suzumi's boudoir.

Watching Nero's back gradually go away, Suzumi Sugimoto's eyes were filled with happiness.But in addition to happiness, there is also a bit of guilt.

Only Nero left Sugimoto's house leisurely.

open the door.

It was raining in the sky.

Even in the 21s of the previous life, it was not uncommon for weather forecasts to have flaws, let alone the end of the 20th century?The weather forecast said that there would be light rain in the evening and it would stop soon, but in fact the rain was already getting heavier.

But it doesn't matter.

Now, even if it is a thunderstorm, it doesn't matter.

no umbrella.

No headphones.

Without any protective measures, Nero just strode into the rain.

"Yahoo—!"

Obviously on the way to hunt Kira Yoshikage.

Obviously, just a few drops of rainwater could blow his arm to pieces.

But at this moment, Nero opened his arms and let the pouring rain wash over his body, just like when he came to report to Suzumi that day.But even so, there is still no sign of the Killer Queen.

Love is a potion.

The love that comes heroically like a tornado is enough to disperse all misfortunes.

"—Blessed!!!"

Nero howled so loudly.

Hearing Nero's loud voice in the room, Suzumi Sugimoto burst out laughing.

As for Nero, he turned around in the rain and looked at the Sugimoto family, with his head tilted slightly. The index fingers and thumbs of both hands were compared to two eights, and he gestured towards the Sugimoto family in the shape of a picture frame.

"Hmm, this is a golden rectangle."

In the past, Nero lacked enthusiasm on the way to pursue the golden rectangle.

But now, the boiling blood filled Nero's whole body, making Nero seem to be full of excess enthusiasm for everything in the world.

"Hey, is that also a golden rectangle?"

At the entrance of the alley, Nero looked at the map board on the side of the street.

Then he turned his head and looked at the ginkgo tree on the side of the road.

"It's amazing. The crown of the tree may also be a golden rectangle? I didn't care about it before...ah, that's also a golden rectangle!"

Nero looked at the passing vehicles on the road again.

Whoa!

The passing car splashed a splash of sewage and mud on Nero's pants.

The swan song of miracles still didn't start, but Nero smiled happily and looked at the mud spots on his pants.
