Chapter 103

Once fear and terror are buried too deep, they become difficult to overcome.

Therefore, the temptation of fear by evil spirits is a channel that forces people to face their fears directly.

The speed at which a weak evil spirit can induce fear is also relatively slow.

Ren Amamiya had planned it out quite well himself.

But heaven knows he ran into acquaintances on Tsukikage Island, and this gradual process was interrupted, turning into a direct confrontation.

"However, the result was not bad."

"Not bad my foot!"

Ran Mouri couldn't hold it in this time and directly cursed.

"I was really scared to death just now."

Thinking of the scene where Ran Mouri was actually scared to tears, the smile on Ren Amamiya's face faded a little.

"Sorry."

"I gave you all a rather unpleasant experience this time."

After venting her emotions, Ran Mouri's mood stabilized a lot.

"Hmm, I accept this apology."

"Amamiya, if you face such things in the future, please tell us in advance."

"Being scared like this all the time really will scare people to death."

The way evil spirits scare people is truly life-threatening.

Ran Mouri didn't have much resistance to supernatural things to begin with, and she had just been given a fright right in her face.

If her mouth hadn't been covered just now, her father, who had walked far ahead, might have rushed back to check on her.

"Next time, I will be careful."

With some apology on his face, Ren Amamiya promised that it wouldn't be so sudden next time.

"That's good then."

Ran Mouri's temper comes and goes quickly.

"Ah, that evil spirit just now really scared me to death..."

"That evil spirit's appearance was what it looked like before it died; it's really hard to imagine what those people turned into in the end."

She finally understood why Amamiya didn't let her and Sonoko follow along.

If the back mountain of this island was full of evil spirits in that state, she guaranteed that if she saw it, she would definitely have nightmares at night.

"Don't be too sympathetic to them."

Hearing Amamiya's warning, Ran Mouri turned around and rolled her eyes at him.

"They are drug dealers, why should I sympathize with a group of drug dealers?"

Drug dealers are not worth a shred of sympathy.

She is kind, but that doesn't mean her kindness should be given to those drug dealers.

Some criminals might be forced by circumstances or have no other choice, but drug dealers definitely cannot be counted in that category.

Drug dealers are a group of people who chose to degenerate themselves.

She puffed out her cheeks and looked at Amamiya.

"Amamiya, I wouldn't be the kind of person in the story who sympathizes with criminals, would I?"

"...I suppose so."

Getting an affirmative answer, Ran Mouri sighed.

She felt she had found the reason why she became a mascot in the middle and later stages of the story.

She herself also hated characters in stories who had an outburst of "saintly" heart.

The existence of such characters in a story would certainly not be well-received by the audience.

It was precisely because of this reason that her presence in the subsequent story was reduced.

"Amamiya, is it because later in the story, I became a very annoying person?"

"..."

"So it really is like that."

Without needing Amamiya to answer, Ran Mouri understood just by seeing his silence.

Because her personality was unlikable, her story was reduced.

Most likely, my subsequent story is probably tied to Shinichi.

It's not describing my story, but rather describing Shinichi's deep affection for me, right?

Thinking of this, Ran Mouri only felt uncomfortable all over.

She was certain of Shinichi's focus on her.

This was just like how she cared about Shinichi in the past.

But could you not link my deep affection to Shinichi?

"Amamiya, please don't link me with the 'me' in the story."

"I am the real, living Ran Mouri."

"I may be kind, and I may sometimes do things that go too far."

"But I will absolutely not sympathize with criminals."

"Especially drug dealers!"

"This is a very important issue, please don't forget it."

Ran Mouri was very serious.

Ren Amamiya could also feel that seriousness.

This was the second time he had been reminded: a story is a story, and a story is not reality.

There are some forced elements in stories, but many of those forced elements do not exist in reality.

For example, some people's personalities.

For instance, Sonoko Suzuki would find it hard to encounter a story of a hero saving a beauty, because the Suzuki family's bodyguards are quite capable.

For instance, Kaguya Shinomiya would not choose Miyuki Shirogane knowing she bears the responsibilities and constraints of the Shinomiya family; that is a choice destined to have no result.

And then there is Ran Mouri.

She will not be a devoted girl who only knows how to give and wait; she will also get hurt, she will also be disappointed, and she is also just one of many ordinary girls.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Amamiya lowered his head slightly, reflected on himself for a moment, raised his head again, and reached out to Ran Mouri.

"Nice to meet you, Ran Mouri."

Glancing at Amamiya's hand, Ran Mouri generously reached out and shook it.

"Nice to meet you, Ren Amamiya."

Neither of them was reserved; they just paused for a moment and then withdrew their hands.

"Oho~"

Sonoko Suzuki leaned in front of Amamiya with a teasing face.

"It seems there wasn't such a big reaction this time."

There were no symptoms of blushing either.

Ren Amamiya was quite helpless.

"Suzuki, I'm just not good at interacting with girls, and I'm not very good at dealing with girls' initiative."

"I can interact with girls normally."

Sometimes he is prone to blushing and a racing heart when facing girls.

But the problem is that in his past life, he really hadn't had much contact with the opposite sex.

A girl as proactive as Suzuki was the first he had ever encountered.

As for last night, please, seeing the parts Fujiwara exposed, any man would be unable to hold back.

Do you really think you can be such an "old driver" just by watching adult movies?

When it's time for a pure reaction, he's still pure.

When it's time to be flustered, he's still flustered.

"Hey~"

Sonoko Suzuki put her hands behind her back and walked to Amamiya's side.
