Chapter 5, Haruhi Suzumiya and "Death is Coming" (Part 2)
"...Well, just like you, Doraemon, I have not encountered any life-threatening danger in the past two days..."
Wang Qiu replied with a serious expression, and at the same time added in his heart, "If you don't almost die from overwork in bed" - "...So, I have some vague speculations about this unreasonable disaster - the recent few Oh my God, have you always been at Nobi's house?"
"...That's not the case. After leaving the world of "Daughter of the Nile", I took a time machine directly to the 22nd century to handle future department store bills and apply for short-term loans, which involved a lot of procedures. , it took me two full days of negotiation to get it done..."
Doraemon rolled his eyes and replied, "...Does this... have anything to do with "The God of Death"?"
"...Isn't the answer obvious? Since you and I were not in this time and space at the time, who could the 'God of Death' go to?"
Wang Qiu snapped his fingers and replied very confidently, "...Obviously, it shouldn't have a time machine, and it can't travel between different worlds, so it can only entangle people who were still in this world at the time... But , in order to further confirm my hypothesis, you’d better call the kid Nohara Shinnosuke in Saitama Prefecture and ask about his current situation - I remember you should have his phone number, right?”
Next, sure enough, after a phone call with Nohara Shinnosuke's home, Doraemon was basically convinced of Wang Qiu's inference.
"...Well, Xiaoxin said that he also just returned to Japan. Before, his whole family was on a planet called 'Bribri', helping the pig-headed aliens there to fight, and they danced the 'butt-shaking dance' in competitions. , defeated the invasion of a bunch of very funny space pirates..."
——After a mind-breaking exchange with Nohara Shinnosuke on the phone, Doraemon put away the phone with black lines all over his forehead and said to Wang Qiu, "...It seems that the situation is indeed the same as yours. The guess is the same, because the three of us were not in this world at the time, the one that was released The 'Death God' came out, so he had to concentrate on finding trouble for Suzumiya Haruhi and the others, and caused a lot of trouble for Nishinomiya City in Hyogo Prefecture... By the way, in this "Death Comes", is there anyone in your world? The 'newcomer' traveled to our world with Death? ”
"...There shouldn't be! At least it's not shown in the "Book of Time Travel". As for what the situation is, the two parties involved must know better than us." Wang Qiu stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, and then put away "The Book of Time Travel" "Book", "... Without further ado, let's go to Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture for on-the-spot investigation! Doraemon, please take out your [Random Door] quickly, okay?"
"...Okay! Last time I sent Haruhi Suzumiya home, I happened to use it to visit Suzumiya's house once, and the specific address is still recorded!"
Doraemon replied, and at the same time took out the [Random Door] from his pocket...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Nishinomiya City, the hometown of Haruhi Suzumiya, is located in the southeastern part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is commonly known as the Hanshin area (Osaka City and Kobe City). It is a port city facing the Seto Inland Sea with a population of about 400,000. It is famous for the production of fine sake. . In addition, it is also the location of Hanshin Koshien Stadium (a giant baseball stadium that appeared in the anime "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and is said to be able to accommodate 50,000 spectators).
However, at this time, Nishinomiya City had already lost its former splendor and turned into a hell on earth.
——The sky was covered with dark clouds, there was lightning and thunder, and it was pouring rain. The buildings on the ground collapsed, the streets were full of cracks, and the roaring sea pushed rows of huge waves to the embankment, causing a series of roars. What's even more frightening is that the thunder and lightning that exploded one after another continued to fall into the houses on the ground, making huge explosions and roars. Countless tornadoes, large and small, were also helping to cause harm... horrifying screams, and the astonishment. Screams, wild commotion, disappearing lives, all these tragedies were like divine punishment, bringing the innocent people of Nishimiya City into a living hell.
"...Oh, my God!" Seeing this hellish scene through the window, Doraemon couldn't help but cover his mouth with both hands, fearing that he couldn't help but scream, "...this scene...this scene It’s simply more miserable than the Tokyo bombing during the Pacific War!”
"...That's why we have to find a way to end all this. Doraemon!" Wang Qiu replied, while walking around the empty room, "...Huh? Is this the home of Haruhi Suzumiya? ? Why is there no one there? Could it be that they are fleeing..."
Everyone walked around Haruhi Suzumiya's house, but no one was found.
So, they used the [random door] to go to the prefectural North High School building surrounded by floods, and walked several times among the ruins, debris, vehicle wreckage, messy waste, and the temporary tarpaulin tents set up by the refugees. After walking around, they finally found the activity room of the SOS group and met the always energetic leader Haruhi Suzumiya, as well as her unique SOS members.
——Most schools in Japan are built in places with higher ground and less prone to flooding (so there are often long ramps at the entrance of schools in cartoons, because when choosing a location, they like to build the school on a hill or (on a platform), the building strength is relatively stronger than that of residential buildings. Therefore, when natural disasters occur, they are often used as emergency refugee camps. Unlike here in China, when an earthquake occurs, schools are often the first to collapse...
"...Oh ho! Brother Wang Qiu, Doraemon, when did you get here!"
Seeing Doraemon's iconic round head, Suzumiya Haruhi, who seemed to be sulking at first, immediately brightened up and rushed forward to give Doraemon a warm hug. At the same time, she said hello to Wang Qiu reservedly, and then Then they noticed the three strange women behind them.
"...Well, there are some guests I haven't seen yet! Anyway, let me introduce myself first! Welcome to the SOS group. I am Haruhi Suzumiya, the leader of the SOS group. This cute three-no-glasses guy with an iceberg face Mom, the literary girl who can maintain the same posture for a whole day is Nagato Yuki from the Literature and Art Club. (Nagato Yuki, who was sitting under the desk lamp and reading a book, raised his head slightly after hearing this and nodded slightly as a signal) As for the ordinary-faced boy next to him who often entertains himself by playing Reversi alone, My number one and the professional complainer of our group!”
"...Hey! Who is your number one! And what does that professional complainer mean? It's too rude of you to say that in front of the guests! Well, everyone can just call me Kyon. !" This boy with an average figure and a popular face kept making sharp remarks while wearing a reserved smile on his face, pretending to be casual and greeting Doraemon and others - although that smile looked awkward. .
"...And this handsome guy who looks like a winner in life at first glance is my right-hand man and deputy leader."
Captain Suzumiya ignored the shouting of Kyon, a mere complainer, and then pointed at a smiling fox-eyed boy next to him.
"...Well, although I am very happy to be promoted to deputy captain, I also have a name...I, Kazuki Koizumi! Nice to meet you!"
——Although this fox-eyed boy is thin, he gives off the impression of a sunny and sporty boy. With a smile that is good at coping, a gentle gaze, and a pretty face. If he could strike a pose and become a model on a supermarket flyer, I believe he would have a large number of fans.
"...This is the super cute mascot of our group! ****The huge Asahina Mikuru-senpai! I finally captured it!"
Finally, Suzumiya Haruhi pulled out a chestnut-haired beautiful girl in a maid uniform, and proudly showed off to all the guests.
"...Wow! I'm not the little animal you raised! Kasuga-chan is bullying me again..."
Well, no matter how much this fragile beautiful girl protests, she does have the potential to become a mascot - she has a baby face that makes people almost mistake her for a primary school student. Subtly curly chestnut hair, hanging softly on the back of her head, and a pair of big, watery eyes like a puppy, exuding the light of "please protect me". From the half-open lips, you can see a row of white porcelain teeth, matching her small face. The whole creates a wonderful sense of coordination. If you let her hold a wand with a glowing gem, she might instantly transform into a magical girl!
In short, this Asahina Mikuru-senpai gives people the impression that she is easy to bully at first glance... and she is the cutest when she is being bullied.
Therefore, in the face of Asahina Mikuru's weak protest, Suzumiya Haruhi decisively reached out and hit her on the head.
"Boom!"
"...Oh~~It hurts..." Mikuru, who was bullied again, immediately held her head in her hands, tears filling her eyes.
"...That's right! As a cute creature, it's your duty to act cute!"
Looking at Asahina Mikuru's big mist-filled eyes and her slightly trembling petite body, Suzumiya Haruhi finally nodded with satisfaction, "...Okay! Mikuru-chan, you've had enough of your cuteness! Go make tea and entertain the guests!”
"...Ah, okay...but the hot water bottle is empty. And because of the earthquake, the school has already lost power, so we can't boil water!"
"...Then use a gas stove! It's the one we used when we had hot pot last time!" Haruhi Suzumiya waved her hand and said arrogantly.
"...Ahem, Suzumiya-san, I don't think anyone is in the mood to drink tea right now! First of all, it seems that not only the power is out, but the water is also out..." Before speaking, Wang Qiu had already tried to open it. As a result, not even a drop of tap water came out of the indoor faucet.
"... Secondly... Suzumiya-san, haven't you noticed that the building you are staying in is about to turn into the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Although the first wave of earthquakes has passed, if there are more aftershocks, this house will But it’s definitely going to collapse! It’s a shame you can still stay!”
Wang Qiu stepped on the obviously sloping cement floor under his feet and complained to Suzumiya Haruhi, "...Other people would rather set up tents outside!"
——From what I saw with my own eyes just now, the building where the SOS group activity room is located has tilted at least more than ten degrees. It looks like it is crumbling like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so Wang Qiu and Doraemon came in At that time, I was sweating a lot.
"...Eh? This building turns out to be crooked? No wonder it feels weird."
Teacher Marikawa Shizuka, who was belatedly realizing it, seemed to have suddenly realized it until this moment... Should I say that she was too slow, or was she just naturally stupid?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Kouhu! The secret base of my majestic SOS group is not so weak. Not to mention mere earthquakes and floods, even in the face of anti-matter bombs dropped by aliens, it can definitely stand firm! Kouhu!"
Hearing that Wang Qiu regarded his proud secret base as a dilapidated house that was about to collapse, Suzumiya Haruhi immediately became angry and roared angrily.
——Well, if ordinary people said such words, Wang Qiu would naturally regard them as the strong words of a child or the distant barking of a corrupt dog. But if it were Haruhi Suzumiya, the God of Creation, who has the skill of "Spelling Words", it would definitely be more real than 24K real gold... However, let Doraemon throw an [Earth Extinction Bomb] out and try it Thoughts, like endless gophers, keep popping up in my mind again and again...
Eh? Do you feel that your current image seems to be falling rapidly in the direction of the evil villain?
Well, that must be an illusion! How could an outstanding college party member with integrity like me be a big devil?
Be calm! Be calm!
"...Ahem, Suzumiya-kun, we came to Hyogo Prefecture from Tokyo this time, and we didn't come here just to catch up with you."
Standing on the slightly sloping floor, Wang Qiu said to Haruhi Suzumiya with a serious face, "...In fact, we brought a very bad news - Haruhi Suzumiya, you and Yuki Nagato have been killed by the God of Death. Targeted! ”
"...Death?!!!"
Suddenly there was a gasp in the room. Except for Nagato Yuki whose eyes remained calm, Kyon, Koizumi Kazuki and Asahina Mikuru all had looks of panic and confusion on their faces, and only Suzumiya Haruhi's His face was filled with excitement!
"...The God of Death? Where is it? What does it look like!" She grabbed Wang Qiu's hand, her eyes sparkling as if sprinkled with crystal powder, "...is it the one wearing a black cloak and holding a scythe? ? Still wearing white mourning clothes, covered with faint blue phosphorus fire? ”
"...Ah...this...how do you say this? This is just a metaphor, not the physical form of death you imagined!" For Suzumiya Haruhi, a high school girl with over-enthusiasm in supernatural events, Wang Qiu Deng didn't know how to deal with it, but he still gave a rough explanation, "...I wonder if you have seen the series of horror movies "The God of Death"..."
