Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

written request for leave

Take a day off today to conceive the outline of the second volume and collect information, otherwise there is no way to write.

When Lao Wang opened the book, he only wrote the outline of the first volume, and he didn't have time to add it later.

Unlike the first volume, where the stage is mainly limited to the city of Los Angeles, the second volume is not as long as the first volume, but the locations involved include Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas, etc.

Moreover, after the plot of each city, the collateral impact on the entire United States and even the world has to be considered, so it has to be carefully considered.

In short, the first part is Fantasy Wars in Seattle, the second part is back to San Francisco, Silicon Valley becomes ghost valley, the third part is San Diego Ghost Ship Story, and then there are Godzilla Wars, Mahayana Buddhism, Transformers, etc.

Chapter 1, The Original Scenery of the Radiation Wasteland

Japan, Fukushima Prefecture, Minamisoma City

A gust of cold winter wind blew across the road, engulfed in the humid air from the sea, making the branches and dead leaves rustle together.

The withered and yellow leaves leave the branches, fly up and down, sometimes rise into the sky, sometimes dive into the ground, and finally whirl and fall slowly.

A petite figure in tracksuit rides a sluggish little sheep motorcycle through the woods and down a dilapidated country road.

As we all know, most of the Japanese rural landscapes in the 21st century are old and stagnant, lacking in popularity, and appear dead and lifeless.

Looking towards both sides of the road in the countryside, there are mostly no people, no cars, no open shops, and no farmers working in the fields.

And in the countryside of Fukushima Prefecture, which is famous for its nuclear radiation, the dead silence is even more so. Even the cleanliness and tidiness that are necessary for ordinary Japanese rural areas are almost lost.

Crazy weeds and lifeless abandoned houses are scattered everywhere, and I am afraid that they will be swallowed up by weeds in a few years.

Driving alone in this desolate and cold land is really a kind of feeling that makes people feel a little creepy.

Even in bright daylight, the same is true.

But the girl riding a little sheep motorcycle with a maximum speed limit of [-] kilometers has a reason why she has to take this barren road.

—Because this is her way home.

The girl's name is Megumi Akiyama, she is 16 years old, she is a youthful high school girl.

At the same time, she is also the sole heir of the Akiyama Shrine, a natural witch and landlady: the whole mountain belongs to her family!

——Female high school student + witch, really double the cuteness, double the charm!

Not to mention, if you can inherit a shrine in the island country of Dongying, it is an excellent business that guarantees income from droughts and floods.

As long as you are an official shrine approved by the main office of the shrine and registered in the Shinto organization (a total of [-] shrines in Japan), rather than a wild shrine established by a cat or a dog in the countryside, you can receive an official subsidy on a regular basis Gold, but also enjoy a lot of tax breaks.

Then, as long as you take a broom to clean the sanitation of the shrine every day—or if you feel tired, you can hire a maid to clean it, and you can sit and wait for tourists to come to collect incense money.

In addition to selling some amulets, doing rituals (for a fee) and so on, life really wasn't too pleasant!

If you can hold a festival, a temple fair or something, it will be even more profitable-of course, it must be a large shrine with strong capital.

In modern Japan, the gold content of "the house has a temple" is really not much worse than "the house has a mine"!

(Of course, there are poorly managed Pujie Shrines, but even if there are mines at home, there are also mines that lose their pants.)

But the question is... what if the shrine in Akiyama Megumi's house is unfortunately located in Fukushima?

Uh, of course, Fukushima Prefecture is a big place after all, and there are still shrines and Buddhist temples that are still alive and well in Fukushima today.

But the problem is that the location of the Akiyama Shrine happens to be close to the edge of the nuclear quarantine zone, less than 100 meters away from the blockade.

This is simply the Radiation Shrine, okay?

Not to mention where the pilgrims and patrons are willing to come to the house despite the nuclear radiation, even the people who live here are worried about whether they will get cancer!

However, the location of Akiyama Shrine is far away from the main entrances and exits of this radiation isolation zone. Even those poor people who have to go in and out of nuclear contaminated areas for work will not stop by Akiyama Shrine to send some incense money or buy amulets , for peace of mind.

As a result, except for a little subsidy from the main office of the shrine, Akiyama Shrine has almost no income. How can it survive this day?

Therefore, shortly after the catastrophe in 2011, Megumi Akiyama's mother, Yuki Akiyama, a tall and beautiful woman, expressed that she could not bear this terrible life, and resolutely divorced her father. .

It is said that he immigrated to the United States with a green card.

His father, Akiyama Qingtoku, who is the god-lord, encountered a series of setbacks and blows after being dumped by his wife. He became decadent and lingered in izakaya all day long, drinking away his sorrows.

Then, because he came out of the store drunk at night in the winter and couldn't find his way home, he passed out drunk in the wild without knowing what happened, and it snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and he was frozen into a stick Popsicles.

Well, very Russian style of death.

Megumi Akiyama lost her parents all of a sudden, and only her grandmother Masako Akiyama was left at home.

Because there was no income from incense money, and other businesses in the family were also ruined, life suddenly became tight, and life was much more embarrassing.

Akiyama Hui, a literary girl who couldn't accept the cruel reality, tried her best to find out her mother's phone number in the United States after several sleepless nights, and then made a secret phone call, wanting to say a few words to her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Words, to express the feeling of parting, to soothe my wounded heart...

In the end, I only heard a cold sentence "I'm remarried! Don't call me again! Don't bother me!"

As a result, Akiyama Hui, who had a nervous breakdown, cried a lot, feeling that life was meaningless, and swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills in the school girls' dormitory, lying down and committing suicide.

The time was a Sunday in the fall of 2016.

Then, although the soul of the 13-year-old middle school student Akiyama Megumi died, her body did not "die" as a matter of course.

——The ordinary young Chinese novelist Wang Qiu woke up one morning and found that he had traveled back to the Japanese female high school student Megumin Akiyama a few years ago.

This is really an innocent disaster.

Although in this day and age, it's not uncommon to travel time-traveling or something, but if gender change is added... that would be too awkward.

In short, the time traveler who became a female high school student was in a daze for several days at first, and even had a nervous breakdown due to dysmenorrhea.

But it has to be said that people's adaptability is still very strong.

Not long after, Akiyama Hui was able to bathe herself calmly, and skillfully dressed, put on women's clothing, and swaggered through the market under the attention of everyone.

There is no way, I have already crossed, and I don’t plan to hang myself, what can I do if I don’t live well?

At any rate, she still inherited the original owner's memory, so when dealing with daily communication, as long as she is careful, she won't slip through.

Then, Akiyama Hui, who was sober, was worried about the poverty situation at home, and was eager to make money to get rich.

But the question is, for a mere high school girl, how can she get money easily?

It's already 2016, and the prime minister is already the second-time high-ranking electrician with a horsey face. Where is there any wealth outlet that people can grab casually?

When copying the public?In the memory of the traveler, those anime works that will be popular in the future have basically come out in 2016, at least there are light novels.

If you act as a copywriter again, then it is real plagiarism, just wait for the lawyer's letter to file a lawsuit!

As for Japanese literature other than anime - do you expect a foreigner who has never read "White Night" and "Norwegian Wood" to understand?

Fry Bitcoin?

But 2016 is no longer the time when Bitcoin first came out, and a few Bitcoins can buy a hamburger!

She checked it in Japan and found that the price of bitcoin was already very high at this time, and each bitcoin was worth more than 700 US dollars!

It has already risen to this price, how dare you buy it casually?At this time, what is the difference between speculating in bitcoin and speculating in stocks?

——Well, please forgive a traveler who doesn’t usually trade in stocks and doesn’t care much about finance. His knowledge in this area is too rough, and he doesn’t know that in the next year (2017), the price seems to be very high Bitcoin, there will be an astonishing increase of about twenty times...

As of the time before he crossed, one Bitcoin could even reach a peak price of over $[-]!

Of course, the most important thing is that no matter what she wants to do, there are three difficulties that cannot be avoided.

——No money, no time, no status!

As a minor, it is inconvenient for her to do anything; as a middle school girl, she must go to school every day and cannot run around.

Finally, grandma Akiyama Masako, who holds the family's financial power, would not agree to any investment plan made by her granddaughter who was born in junior high school.

After all, the whole family is relying on grandma's pension and a little subsidy from the shrine's main hall to survive, and it is already very difficult to have enough food and clothing.

Hey, since there is no hope of making money, it seems that I can only study hard like other students and make progress every day?

In this way, three years passed in a flash, and in the winter of 2019, Ms. Megumi Akiyama, who had changed her soul, finished junior high school and high school in Fukushima Prefecture step by step.

During this period, I worked odd jobs in the summer, submitted manuscripts to magazines, and wrote novels on the Internet...but I didn't achieve much.

Although Megumi Akiyama has tried to rewrite several fantasy novels that will become popular in China in the future, and published them on Japanese novel websites, but the preferences of Chinese and Japanese netizens seem to be quite different. The results of her works are mediocre, except for making a little money. In addition to the pocket money, there is not even a publishing house to contact.

Because of the type of family business after time travel, Akiyama Hui also tried to investigate supernatural things, but he didn't find any supernatural power in this world—except for the supernatural stories and urban legends all over the street, he didn't find this world either. How is the historical evolution different from before time travel.

The trifles of a little Japanese high school student's soul-changing seem to be unable to trigger a butterfly storm that affects the whole world.

Next, she naturally rejected the confession from the boys in the class, but she didn't hook up with any pretty girls who could make her fall in love.

——Although Japan is full of gay and lily comics, openly exposed LGBT groups seem to be uncommon in reality...

Even according to Megumi Akiyama's observation, Japanese female students, at least those in Fukushima Prefecture, are much more cautious than Chinese girls, and girls who have a good relationship rarely use the same lip balm. They won't kiss and touch each other inappropriately.

Maybe it's because of the out-of-the-way vibe, more conservative and traditional, with a metropolis like Tokyo being more open?

All in all, although this time travel that came just now, although it made the traveler a few years younger, it didn't have any other benefits.

My grades in school are only at the upper-middle level. It is estimated that it will be difficult to be admitted to a very good university, and it may be difficult to find a good job after graduation.

Not to mention that because of Japanese weird ideas, students who go out from Fukushima to Tokyo to go to school will be bullied and treated like a plague.

Lay flat and inherit the family business, right?The shrine at home is like this again, what should I do in the future?

Do you want to go to other shrines to work as part-time priestesses by relying on the family skills (pretending to be gods and ghosts) and connections of hereditary priests?

Not to mention, it is already December 2019, and the next few years will be a cold winter for the tourism industry!

The wages of working witches are already low, and if there is a recession, God knows how they will be exploited and deducted!

Hey, life is not easy!The witch sighed!

I don't know why grandma called me from the boarding school solemnly today.

It probably won't be a good thing, right?

At the foot of the lush and green mountain, while thinking so, Ms. Akiyama Hui took off her motorcycle helmet, turned off the pocket Geiger counter in her pocket, parked the little sheep motorcycle left by her mother, and then took a deep breath, which seemed to still be filled with Radiant air, set foot on the mountain climbing approach.

The vermilion torii gate at the entrance of the sandal road has long since peeled off and faded, but the word "Bongna" inlaid with stainless steel is still shining brightly.

The stone steps behind the torii gate were also overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, it was not too long. After walking less than 30 meters, a dilapidated shrine came into view.

The hand water house for pilgrims to wash their hands has long since dried up, and the edge of the pool has a big opening, and black silt and fallen leaves are piled up inside.

The wooden frame on which the painted horses were originally hung has long since disappeared, and the courtyard is full of fallen leaves and dead branches. Even the tiles of the main hall have grown grass, and the side hall has long since collapsed and has never been rebuilt.But the money box, which was always empty, was still wiped clean.

At a glance, the entire shrine shows a capital "dilapidated" and a lowercase "poverty"!

Megumi Akiyama sighed again, walked around the shrine hall that had been obviously tilted into a dilapidated building, turned three times and two times through a neat vegetable bed, and came to the door of a Japanese-style hut.

Immediately, she saw her grandma, Masako Akiyama, moving an old futon and sitting in the corridor outside the door, with a small stove in front of her, drinking hot tea and eating baked senbei, while talking to someone on her mobile phone Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

——Just like this traditional Akiyama Shrine that is almost buried in the ground, Akiyama Megumi's grandmother Akiyama Masako is also a very traditional Japanese woman.

She is born with a short figure, short and fat, and is less than 1.4 meters tall. She usually wears an old dark kimono with a round bun. Her hair is already gray, and she wears a pair of small round glasses on the bridge of her nose. , with a benevolent look, and a soft-spoken voice.

However, although she looks weak, in fact, Akiyama Masako is not lacking in strength.

After the death of her wife, the departure of her daughter-in-law, and the early death of her son, the old woman persevered in supporting this dilapidated home, personally serving as the shrine master of Akiyama Shrine, and raising her granddaughter.

In order to take care of the nearby shrine (an unattended shrine can’t cheat the subsidy), although Akiyama Masako asked her granddaughter to go to a boarding school in the city and go home if she has nothing to do, so as to stay away from the radiation, but she insisted on staying. Incense money to grow their own vegetables to eat.

As a result, although many nuclear power plant personnel worked in the radiation area for several months, they died of tumors and leukemia soon after they came out.And Akiyama Masako persisted in living on the edge of the radiation zone year after year.

Although he ate radiated food, drank irradiated water, lived in a radiated house, and breathed irradiated air, he neither got cancer nor mutated into a monster. He is still healthy and healthy until now.

Perhaps it is in response to the old saying - for a person who is not afraid of death, even death is afraid of him!

All in all, Akiyama Hui in this life still has a lot of affection for this only relative in this world.

Chapter 2, Open the shrine to the United States!

Seeing that grandma was still on the phone, Akiyama Hui went straight to put down her schoolbag, found a place to sit down, and then turned to look out the window.

This house just stands on top of a cliff, overlooking from a height, a scene like the end of the world unfolds in front of you:

Overgrown weeds, rusty road signs, collapsed utility poles, crumbling concrete buildings...
