Chapter 118 This World Has Head Balloons
"Misinterpretation" refers to misinterpreting the original meaning of a sentence or phrase.
I never imagined that Sadako would be so embarrassed one day.
It turns out she misheard the words so badly they were completely nonsensical.
Unconsciously, she moved her left hand and grabbed her other forearm. Her eyes darted around, unsure of how to face Jiu Zhiche.
Jiuzhiche said softly, "Afterwards, I thought about it. You weren't in a good state at the time, so I thought maybe I spoke too quickly and made you misunderstand something."
After speaking, Jiu Zhiche paused deliberately.
Sadako's face flushed red, radiating an alluring glow.
If, if she had told us beforehand, wouldn't that have been a huge blunder!
Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
Seeing her reaction, Jiu Zhiche knew she believed him.
So Sadako hasn't reached the level of Black Sadako, capable of recognizing lies?
That makes things easier.
"Sadako, what did you hear? You didn't seem to look at me much during dinner." Jiuzhiche asked deliberately.
Sadako panicked, not even realizing why Jiuzhiche thought she had misheard, and specifically brought up that one sentence from that day.
Perhaps she was too flustered and embarrassed to discern the truth or falsehood of Jiu Zhiche's words.
She stammered, "No, no, I only heard the word 'death,' so I thought you meant I was going to die, but you were worried about my feelings, so you didn't tell me anything more..."
She didn't even know what she was saying. "I was scared, scared, but now that you've said this, I... I'm okay..."
It's like saying whatever comes to mind.
If, just if, A-Che finds out that he misunderstood and liked her, then he will never be able to face A-Che again.
"You'll be alright." Jiuzhi Che's tone was gentle, like a breeze soothing Sadako's panicked and uneasy heart. "Just like we said that day, if I saved you and you died, wouldn't my efforts have been in vain, and wouldn't you have wasted your money?"
Strangely enough, listening to him speak, Sadako's mood gradually calmed down.
"You won't have saved me for nothing."
She heard herself say it.
Very quietly.
"What?"
"No, it's nothing. Let's go back quickly; we've been out for quite a while."
"Um."
Jiuzhi Che followed beside Zhenzi.
"I won't let you get hurt."
A sound as light as a whisper passed by, leaving no trace.
Sadako was startled. She tilted her head slightly and saw that Jiuzhi Che's expression was normal. She thought she had misheard.
When she returned to her seat, she couldn't help but purse her lips and stare blankly.
You heard right.
The words "I won't let you get hurt" kept replaying in Sadako's mind, constantly reminding her that she hadn't misheard...
......
Today's school day was fairly pleasant. Jiu Zhiche slept through several classes, sleeping very soundly.
He said that going to school was his day off.
It feels so good to be free from weird distractions.
But this is only temporary.
Thinking of the girl named "Kazuko Morinaka", Kyushige sighed inwardly.
When he heard the name Kazuko Morinaka, he was reminded of the short story "The Head Balloon".
The Head Balloon is a very famous work in the Itoh series, almost on par with "Tomie" and "Hellstar", all of which are popular works that have broken into the mainstream.
The reason is simple: the human head balloon is too sinister and there is no solution. In the end, the daily world-destroying achievement was achieved*1.
Kazuko Morinaka is the main character in the human head balloon, and everything unfolds from her perspective.
After a popular idol named Terumi Fujino committed suicide by hanging herself outside her window with an electrical cable, some fanatical fans began to take extreme actions, imitating Fujino's suicide by hanging, and a wave of suicides swept through the country.
After countless people committed suicide, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky: human head balloons floated in mid-air. These balloons not only had heads identical to the originals, but they also lured the originals to meet them. Once they met, the balloon rope would wrap around the original's neck and hang them.
The key point is that if you pop the balloon with the human head on it, the head of the person corresponding to that head will also explode.
How are we supposed to live like this?
So in the original story, everyone hid at home, but that wasn't the end of it. The human-headed balloons would lurk their original selves, along with a malevolent self-awareness, constantly trying to lure the original selves and their families out...
Jiuzhi Che silently added finding Fujino Terumi to his plan.
But if we prevent Terumi Fujino from dying, can we really stop the appearance of the human head balloon?
This is a world that blends countless bizarre elements, so it's not surprising that strange things that don't follow the original story happen.
Let's not think about it too much for now, we'll talk about it when we meet again.
Just as he could not foresee the gate of greed beneath the Virgin Abyss, he also could not control the course of the future.
In short, observe more and pay more attention. There are plenty of things that could destroy the world; one more human head balloon won't make a difference.
After saying goodbye to Kayako, Kyuji Che returned home.
After observing the corpse in the sofa, Jiuzhiche confirmed that the corpse had not shrunk for two days and seemed to have settled.
The charred, blackened skin on the corpse showed signs of loosening.
Jiuzhiche began to wonder, could a new Tomie possibly grow out?
What's the principle?
Oh, it's Tomie. Well, then we won't argue.
After closing the sofa lid, Jiu Zhiche browsed through the ghost story forum.
I discovered that an old post from a while ago, where someone claimed to be a "magician" and was afraid of being carried away by a human-faced dog, has been updated.
#The Wizard's Human-Faced Dog#
I'm not clean anymore, someone please save me!
It was a stormy night. I was walking home from get off work and passed through a dark alley. I was thinking of going to a convenience store to take shelter from the rain and maybe find someone I could have a one-night stand with.
As a result, before I had even taken two steps into the alley, a shadow flashed out, grabbed the back of my clothes, and ran away. I was dragged along, stumbling and falling, until I arrived at a cave.
In the instant the lightning flashed, I saw clearly what had carried me away: a monster with a human face and a dog's body. I was so terrified I almost fainted.
Suddenly, the human-faced dog stepped on my stomach, brought its head close to my face, and said:
"Brother, wanna go out?"

There's another bunch of breached structures stacked up below.
"I've already taken my pants off, and you're selling me this?!"
"Stop looking! Don't be so reassuring, don't listen to advice, don't be so brave! A remote-controlled tractor? What the hell is that?"
"OP, you're a fishing pro! I clicked on it and all I heard was a cheerful children's song. What, are you reminiscing about your childhood?"
"Alright, alright, is this how you play it?"
"I've already bought it. It's a big brand, trustworthy, and really good. The underwear is of particularly high quality. The seller even came to my door to install it; the service was excellent. It's comfortable to use and warm to wear. My husband especially loves it, and even the elderly can use it. It doesn't constrict the neck at all..."
Jiuzhiche quietly marked the post as an "Excellent Post".
He had already appointed three active forum members as administrators to maintain forum order and delete meaningless posts, so after looking around, there wasn't much content.
After filtering through the posts, Jiuzhiche noticed one.
#My boyfriend says I'm the most beautiful girl in the world, what do you all think?#
Below is a picture.
That's quite a boast. Where does that leave Tomie?
Jiuzhiche became curious and clicked "View Image".
