Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

On the contrary, Shinnosuke Nohara has clearly killed the original author, but the story of Crayon Shin-chan seems to be endless.

However, anime may continue to be serialized endlessly, but the interest of fans cannot be eternal.

One day, we will clear the anime pictures in our mobile phones and forget about the Two-dimensional world.

One day, we will also rush to the battlefield of life to bury the loneliness and helplessness of the past.

Natsume's friend account has not been cleared yet, and Edogawa Conan is still teasing Lori to watch dead people;

The mythical Holy Grail War is not over yet, and everyone in the Academy of Apocalypse is still fleeing in the zombie apocalypse.

But we have to leave the Two-dimensional world.

Leave the beautiful fantasy and walk into the cold reality.

The next long road of life may be glorious, or it may be down and out on the street like a bereaved dog;

But as long as I can suddenly think of the wandering years in a quiet night.

Accidentally opened the door of Two-dimensional, found the only light on the way... that's enough!

Thinking of this, Akiyama Hui couldn't help but sighed quietly, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Immediately, the little witch pulled herself together, looked around at the idle and lazy migrant witches, and the staff who had already begun to dismantle the shrine, clapped her hands, and announced in unproficient English:

"...Papa! Please keep your spirits up! Although the comic exhibition is coming to an end, we still have one last show to perform! Come out with me to carry the mikoshi now!"

As the closing ceremony of this Los Angeles Comic Con, the organizer of the Comic Con is planning to hold a grand animation COS parade, organizing [-] animation COS models and volunteers to wear performance costumes, and take a lap around several nearby streets. Let the comic show have a successful and lively ending.

——It's a cliché arrangement, but there's nothing wrong with it.

According to the arrangement of the parade by the organizer, Megumi Akiyama's anime shrine maiden team will walk at the front of the parade carrying a mikoshi.

Well, unlike the genuine shrines in Japanese shrines that are made of solid wood and weigh half a ton to one ton, the mikoshi at the Los Angeles Comic Expo is just a superficial product-because it only needs to be used for a few days, No durability at all.

Therefore, although this mikoshi is also tall and looks colorful and gorgeous on the outside, it is actually made of light plastic shells and aluminum alloy frames, and a lot of hollow designs are used, which weighs tens of kilograms in total. ——so even a group of girls can lift it.

Otherwise, if a real one-ton mikoshi is used, even the muscles and bones will be deformed after being lifted for a long time.

——This kind of thing is not uncommon in Japan. Many uncles carrying mikoshi have deformed shoulders, which are as terrifying as tumors at first glance.

When Megumin Akiyama led a group of temporary maidens with different hair colors and skin colors, and walked out of the gate of the gymnasium serving as the venue, he saw that the plastic shrine had been placed on the sidewalk by the street, and there were several people dressed as Little sister of princess, female knight or female ninja is playing with mobile phone.

As well as the little brother dressed as a Japanese samurai and a Roman soldier, they were fighting and dancing with swords.

Plus a few uncles in puppet suits stood there in a daze—the puppet suits were too thick, and they couldn't play with their phones after wearing them.

Occasionally, passers-by would come over, smiling and holding their mobile phones and selfie sticks, and asking for a group photo.

——Because the comic exhibition booths have not been withdrawn, only a few COS models and volunteers participated in the parade, so the atmosphere is very leisurely.

So, Kei Akiyama hugged the god body of her own shrine—the jade statue of a fox with a lightning gold necklace, climbed onto the shrine, and was about to put the statue in and fix it. Senior Ma Tong, who was arrested, stood by her Next, responsible for passing the rope, cable ties and quick-drying adhesive...

As a result, she hadn't finished the preparations while standing on the shrine, when she heard rumbling vibrations and a... scream?

Looking back, Akiyama Megumi's pupils instantly widened.

——I saw a shiny gray convertible sports car, under the magical operation of a certain blond beauty like a drunk man, rushed up the road shoulder at a speed as fast as lightning, barely brushing the ass of an old man in a puppet costume, scaring The rest of the surrounding people fled away one after another.

And... this car is still rushing straight towards the mikoshi placed on the edge of the sidewalk!

Moreover, Ma Tong had abandoned her and fled without any sense of loyalty!

Should I get out of here too?

It was too late and then too fast, before she could react, the out-of-control sports car had crashed into the mikoshi from the opposite side. Akiyama Megumi on one side was so shocked that he flew upside down and fell into a green belt of bushes.

Immediately afterwards, the stone statue as the [Royal God Body] was also bounced high into the air, only a "dong" was heard, and it hit Qiu Shanhui's calf.

She only felt a sharp pain, then her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness...

Chapter 7: Is this the Lord of Mysteries? (Happy New Year of Meow)

Surrounded by the pungent smell of disinfectant, above his head was a strange ceiling.

Qiu Shanhui, who was not yet fully awake, blinked, as if she still didn't know where she was.

Turning his head to look, a medical instrument about the size of a microwave oven was placed next to the bed, and numbers and curves danced on several small screens.

Pulling his eyes back to his body, he could see a needle fixed with tape on the inside of his elbow, and a thin tube spread upward from the needle.

The line of sight continued to catch up all the way, and Akiyama Hui found that the pipeline was connected to a transparent medical plastic bag.The bag itself was hung on a silver pillar, and it contained about five hundred milliliters of orange-yellow clear liquid, which was slowly dripping down at a certain speed.

Looking back to the other side, she found that her left leg was in a thick cast and was suspended high by another silver frame.

Looking at this small ward repeatedly, Akiyama Hui, whose mind was still in chaos, began to try to sort out the disordered thoughts.

Then, she finally remembered, and couldn't help saying to herself:

"...Well... So, I was hit by a car and broke my left leg, so I was sent to the hospital!"

The next moment, Akiyama Hui heard a familiar voice from behind the curtain.

"...Xiao Huihui woke up! Don't move around, I'll ring the bell to call the nurse!" Immediately afterwards, the curtain separating the ward was pulled open, and she saw Miss Ma Tong, who was wearing a plaster cast on her left hand, also wearing a hospital gown. Clothes, standing beside his hospital bed.

"...Uh? Miss Ma Tong, why did you come in too? Your hand...cough!" Akiyama Hui asked in surprise, and then coughed a few times.

"...I was hit by a broken bone! It's really bad luck. I had already run a long way, but the car still chased me relentlessly."

Ma Tong, with one arm hanging, pouted, and found a chair to sit down, "... But don't worry, no one will pay for the medical expenses. The female driver who caused the accident is a big star, and she is under the watchful eyes of everyone. They've all been photographed and made the news, and they can't afford to renege on their debts.

Her manager and lawyer have already come here to see her, and they said that they will pay all the medical expenses, and the other mental damage expenses can also be discussed..."

——For European and American film and television stars, if they have an accident while driving, as long as they don’t kill someone, and just compensate the victim for car accident medical expenses and mental loss, then no matter how ruthless the charges of American hospitals are, relatively The income of celebrities is nothing.

If the two sides start a lawsuit because they refuse to pay such a small amount of money, causing the star to collapse and ruin his reputation, that will be a real big loss.

On the contrary, if you make good compensation, be sincere, and apologize or something, then you will only lose one or two episodes of TV drama pay.

It's clear at a glance which is more important - even if the stars themselves can't figure it out, their managers will press the stars to make money and eliminate disasters and do crisis public relations.

What's more, people who can squeeze through the single-plank bridge among thousands of troops and become big stars basically have enough EQ and IQ.

Of course, how much compensation will be paid in the end depends on the ability of the lawyer, but generally speaking, at least the medical expenses are still willing to pay.

——In stark contrast, some small bosses in China would rather take 20 bribes to escape the relationship than pay [-] in compensation...

Because in the eyes of some guys, bowing to the "common people" is a shameful thing. Although they don't care about money, they just don't want to pay.

There are also some large international companies who countersued the victims, forced the victim defenders to death, and would rather erect the image of a bully than intimidate consumers. People who dare to touch porcelain will consider themselves unlucky even if they suffer a disaster.

In this way, the cost of after-sales service can be greatly saved: anyway, as long as there is a monopoly position in the industry, there is no fear that no one will buy the product.

Just like the ancient "official salt", there is always more mud than salt, and it is the same reason that there is no need to worry about customers.

In contrast, celebrities who rely on their personality and image to make a living are very weak in this respect. As long as they can make money to eliminate disasters, they are generally willing to make money.

"...The female driver who hit me is a big star, who is it?" Qiu Shanhui blinked.

"...Emilia Clarke, of course, the role she plays is probably more familiar to you - Daenerys, Mother of Dragons!"

"...that Dragon Mama in "Game of Thrones"? That disabled and strong-minded eyebrow spirit?"

Qiu Shanhui exclaimed, "...Ahem, should I be glad that she didn't hit me on a black dragon?"

"...If her family really has a dragon, I really want to see it. Heh——"

Ma Tong yawned, and pointed to the side at the same time, "...Also, Xiao Huihui, I think you are so precious to your god, and someone brought it here from the scene of the car accident, and put it in the By your bed..."

Akiyama Megumi turned his head and saw that the white jade fox statue with a gold necklace in his shrine was indeed placed on the bedside table, but it seemed to be stained with blood from the car accident, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, she couldn't help but a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As a traveler, Megumi Akiyama certainly knows that Los Angeles, the city of angels under his feet, and even the entire United States, will become a place where the "Corona" epidemic is rampant in the next few years. The suspension will last for a long time.

It seemed to me that I was going to stay in Los Angeles for a long time, and I couldn't go back to the boarding school in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan before the outbreak of the epidemic.

——One hundred days of injury, and after one hundred days, where can she still buy a plane ticket?

Hey, there is no way, maybe this is fate!

In any case, at any rate, you don't have to worry about medical expenses, which is already thankful.

I can only find a way to get more masks in advance, and pray to the gods that I will not be infected in the future!

The appearance of dying in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) with blood splattering is really tragic!

By the way, I also need to call to remind grandma that the elderly are especially weak against this respiratory infectious disease.

While Akiyama Hui was thinking wildly, two nurses, one black and one white, who were summoned by Ma Tong rang the bell and came in with a cart. One of the nurses began to examine the two wounded, and the other opened the room. the curtains, and then covered his mouth and let out a small exclamation:

"...Oh my God! How did the moon get this color?"

Akiyama Hui heard the sound and turned his head to look out the window, and couldn't help being stunned.

I saw a blood-red moon hanging high in the night sky outside the window, casting a crimson light on the earth...

This is... the crimson moon that symbolizes bad omen?

No, not only that, but I vaguely remember that in a novel, this thing has appeared many times... Which book is it?

Look at my memory...

When Qiu Shanhui was still thinking hard, Ma Tong had already taken the first step and said the answer she was still thinking about.

"...God! It's actually the red moon in "Lord of the Mysteries"? There really is such a thing?!"

Chapter 8, Joking about the Red Moon

Three months after the accident.

Monday, March 3, Southern District, Los Angeles, California, USA

The fourth day of the epidemic prevention and closure of the city, 11:30 in the middle of the night

In an old apartment where even the elevator had been repaired for several years due to a malfunction, the little witch Megumi Akiyama, who still had a plaster cast on her left leg, was sitting in front of a desk full of energy, turning on the LED desk lamp, wearing a headset, and staring at flickering computer screen.

Although it was already midnight in the dead of night, Qiu Shanhui, a night owl, was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy.

There is no way, these days, she feels that she has already had enough sleep this year, how can she sleep now?

She first encountered a car accident at the entrance of the Los Angeles Comic Con in early January. She was hit by the drunk driving star "Dragon Mom" ​​Emilia and was hospitalized with a broken bone. She lay in the ward for dozens of days, and then met "Corona" "The epidemic spread to the United States, making it impossible for the little witch to return home.

As a result, Akiyama Megumi can only squat in the puppy kennel left by Miss Ma Tong, eat, sleep and play games, basically staying at home.

(Because the background of the novel is in the United States, most of the popular names of Americans for the epidemic name are "Corona".)

——Ten days after the car accident, Ms. Ma Tong, a Chinese student with minor injuries, was flown over by her worried parents and brought back to her hometown in Hangzhou to recuperate. broke out and rushed home in the days before the lockdown.

When the little witch Megumi Akiyama, who was seriously injured, was finally discharged from the hospital with a plaster cast on her leg, the world had already experienced a major outbreak, and international flights were in chaos, making it impossible for her to return to Japan, and it was troublesome and unsafe to stay in a hotel— —Who knows how many viruses are there in those places where people come and go?

What's more, staying in a hotel for a long time really burns money, and the poor witch Akiyama Megumi is frugal by nature and is reluctant to spend money.

Fortunately, when Qiu Shanhui was at a loss, Miss Ma Tong, who had returned to the other side of the ocean, extended a helping hand.

——As an international student, Ma Tong naturally has a rented student apartment in Los Angeles.

Now that she is blocked by the epidemic in her hometown in China, she can only rely on submarine optical fiber to take classes online, so the apartment is vacant.

Now that Qiu Shanhui called to complain, Ma Tong readily lent her the apartment.

Anyway, she has already paid the rent for half a year, and the apartment is vacant, so it is better to let someone she knows live in, which is considered a favor.

Moreover, if the rent is due and the epidemic is not over yet, Ma Tong can entrust Akiyama Hui to take care of the things Ma Tong left in the apartment.

Therefore, Ma Tong not only generously lent the apartment he rented in the United States to Akiyama Megumi for free, but also called her roommate Valentina, entrusting her to take care of Akiyama Megumi, who is currently not in good hands, so that Akiyama Hui was extremely moved.

Hey, Sister Tongtong is really a good person!

If she didn't know that Ma Tong was in her hometown, she was just a middle-class family who opened a store selling toilets and bathtubs in the ceramics market, and she was not a wealthy woman, Akiyama Hui would have wanted to hug her thigh and ask for support.

In this way, after being discharged from the hospital, Akiyama Megumi moved directly into Ma Tong's apartment with her bags, slept in Ma Tong's crib, played with Ma Tong's computer, and occasionally practiced English conversations with Ma Tong's roommates, without going to school or doing anything. Homework, small life is very happy.

It's a pity that the oppression and chill of the great era still remind Akiyama Hui that she is not on vacation now.

After playing a game of eating chicken with the headset on the desktop computer with average performance in Miss Ma Tong’s kennel, Megumi Akiyama rubbed his eyes, exited the game, and boarded another game that Ma Tong seemed to be on frequently. International Student Forum.

——Although this body has changed nationality after time travel, Megumi Akiyama still likes to browse websites in her mother tongue in her previous life.
