"Let's go, you should go home when you hear about Dvořák's child." Hema joked, "Otherwise the scary fox will come to eat people's hearts."
Yuzao took a look at him, then suddenly raised one hand with five fingers spread out, as if trying to scratch someone, and yelled "Aw".
"Run, the demon fox is coming." Hema said and ran forward a few steps.
But it certainly can't really run, Tamamo sprained his feet. If she hadn't sprained her ankle, she could have run towards the sunset full of youthful hormones.
Yuzao followed, and just by the way she walked, it didn't look like she had a sprained ankle at all.
"Does it not hurt?" He Ma asked.
"It hurts, but this kind of pain is okay." Yuzao smiled.
He Ma stared at her for a few seconds, convinced that his suggestion to carry her back to the hotel would be rejected, so he turned around: "Let's go back."
"Um."
**
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was completely dark.
Mikako was lying on the railing on the second floor, watching the sunset while licking a popsicle, wearing a hotel yukata.
"He Ma!" She saw He Ma and started to wave her hands, "The popsicles and milk here are very good!"
The Japanese have a custom of drinking milk after taking a bath. It seems that Mikako has already taken a bath.
"How does the bathhouse feel?" Hema asked.
"The women's bath is pretty good, it's very big and spacious. I don't know about the men's bath and the mixed bath." Mikako ate the popsicle in three bites, then put the remaining stick in her mouth, turned over the railing with both hands free, and swung To the ground floor of the first floor.
He Ma stared at the fat on her body that kept shaking with the strenuous exercise, and said, "It's time for you to lose weight."
"Where are you saying this! I will cry if I lose some weight." Mikako said and patted Kazuma on the shoulder.
He Ma grabbed her hand and sniffed it closer: "Well, the smell of body soap, you have taken a bath, so you don't use it for the swimsuit party in the mixed bath tonight."
"Huh? Why didn't you let me go? I can wash it again!"
Yuzao: "Washing so many times is not good for the skin. Especially hot spring water that contains more minerals, the skin will become wrinkled after soaking for a long time."
"Really? I don't believe it!" Mikako said, "I'll soak it again later to see."
At this time, Kazuma happened to see Ms. Pu Dao leading a hotel maid passing through the aisle behind the hotel lobby, so he shouted, "Maiden! I want to book a mixed bath tonight, and Qian Sauni Music will reimburse you."
"No problem." Ms. Pushima gave an OK gesture to the horse.
Mikako looked back at Ms. Kamashima, and said to Kazuma: "Since the mixed bath is booked, there is no need for a swimsuit, how about just taking a bath?"
At this moment, the welfare scenes that must have in the eighth chapter of a general romantic comedy emerged in He Ma's mind.
OK, it seems possible
Tamamo: "Mikako, it's good to be honest, but don't you think too many steps have been omitted?"
"Hey~ It's actually Danzi, you bought a new swimsuit and want to show it to Kazuma! I understand! I have already shown it off today!"
Kazuma thought about it, the swimsuit of Tamamo, who had just peeped through the tube of the sweaty skirt, seemed to be indeed different from the style he wore when he went to the beach last year.
Tamamo: "It's really rare that Mikako was right once."
"What do you mean, it's too much!" Mikako pouted, but immediately laughed again, "Okay, I'll tell Honami and ask her to prepare her swimsuit. Needless to say, Kazuma wouldn't think about it anyway. Look at her swimsuit."
He Ma: "Actually, I really want to see it."
The scene turned cold in an instant, Mikako and Tamamo stared at him.
Mikako: "Hema...does it mean that you also want to see sister Ganzhong's swimsuit?"
"No, forget that." He Ma maintained his bottom line as a human being.
Yuzao smiled and said, "Scared me, I thought it was time to call the police."
"Danzi, do you realize that what you just said hurt Ganzhong-senpai even more?" Mikako said, "Fortunately she wasn't there."
He Ma suddenly wanted to tease Mikako: "Mikako, look behind."
Mikako turned her head unpreparedly: "What?"
Of course there was no one behind, but Mikako didn't yell immediately, but turned her gaze downwards to the ground.
"He Ma, you are playing with me!" She turned around and yelled at He Ma.
"Your actions just now are also super rude to Senior Sister Ganzhong!"
"What's wrong with me?"
Senior sister Meiyu Ganzhong suddenly appeared in the aisle behind the lobby, holding a popsicle in her hand.
He Ma laughed and said, "It's nothing, nothing."
"Hmph, I can guess it if you don't tell me. Anyway, I'm short, and I'm used to the figure of a primary school student."
Senior sister Ganzhong stuck out her tongue and licked the popsicle.
He Ma joked: "Senior sister, how long does it take to lick your little tongue before you can finish one."
"I can't help it, my head hurts from the cold all of a sudden, I can only lick popsicles, so a lot of them melted and dripped on the ground."
"Isn't it a pity?"
"It's not a pity, it's cheap after all." The little rich woman said indifferently.
Mikako took out the popsicle stick she had been holding in her mouth all the time: "Sister, you can lick it faster, like this, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah."
Yuzao: "Pfft."
Together with Ma and Mikako, he turned to look at Tamamo.
Tamamo maintained Yamato Nadeko's dignity, and seemed to be a little puzzled as to why the two suddenly looked over.
"Is there something on my face?" she asked.
Kazuma: "It's nothing. I know you are Yamato Nadeko. You have been professionally trained. No matter how funny you are, you can't laugh."
Mikako performed the "Superlight Speed Licking Popsicle" again: "Bah, bah, bah..."
Ke Yuzao showed a very high professionalism this time, dignified and elegant.
Mikako: "Cut, it's boring."
On the other hand, Meiyu Kanaka stared at the popsicle in her hand, as if she was doing mental construction, preparing to practice the trick Mikako gave her.
"You can just ignore that monkey." Qingliu walked over from the vending machine with a popsicle in her hand.
"Qing Liu Liu, do you just lick it too?" Mikako asked.
"Of course not." Qingliu opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of white but not very neat teeth, and bit off a third of the popsicle with a click, exposing a little bit of the wooden core in the middle of the popsicle.
"Oh, the way Qingliu eats is so rock-and-roll! As expected of a rock-and-roll girl who plays the guitar with her mouth!" Mikako said with an exaggerated tone and expression, as if she had turned into a funny variety show host.
Qingliu sighed: "Not everyone who plays rock and roll can play the guitar with his mouth or smash the piano on stage. There are also genres in rock and roll."
Mikako: "Then Haruyuu, what school are you?"
Qingliu: "Shinto no-mind flow."
"I didn't ask about your kendo genre! Give me a little more!" Mikako complained like a man.
Qingliu ignored him and looked at Kazuma: "How long are you going to stand outside the hotel? Isn't it hot?"
Only then did Kazuma step into the gate of the hotel.
Qingliu continued to ask: "How is the shrine? Did you buy the Dieda plaster?"
I went to the shrine with Ma, because I wanted to investigate the folk beliefs here, and see what happened to this Misha god that Yuzao didn't know. But only he and Yuzao knew this purpose, and the others only thought they were going to buy plasters to learn about the festival.
"I found something interesting..." He and Ma paused, and felt that it was not good to call dead people interesting things, so they changed their words, "I found some unusual things."
"Oh?" Qingliu narrowed her eyes, obviously interested.
Senior sister Ganzhong Meiyu was even more excited than her: "Is someone summoning an outer god to descend?"
It was only then that Kazuma remembered that Kanaka Meiyu was the president of the New Ghost Story Research Association, although Yuzao took away the real power.
"No la… "
As soon as he and Ma were about to talk, Mikako interrupted: "It's a murder! If a detective stays in a hotel in a remote village like this, there must be a murder!"
"It's not murder. But last year..."
Kazuma recounted what happened to the Fantasy Creature Research Society of Meiji University last year.
Mikako: "It's a murder!"
"Shut up." Kazuma patted her forehead, and then asked the others, "Where is Mr. Huashan? He is also from Meiji University. I want to ask if he has heard of this."
Generally, there will be some rumors in the school about the death of people.
Even if it is just hearsay, it may help seekers discover the truth.
Qingliu: "Mr. Huashan seems to have diarrhea. He should be in the toilet now. There is a super spicy drink produced by a small factory in a nearby town in the vending machine. Don't order it."
He Ma raised his eyebrows: "Super spicy drink?"
"That's right, Mr. Huashan said, 'Wow, I've never heard of a spicy drink, I must try it', bought a can, and then went into the toilet."
I was speechless with the horse, wondering if this drink uses the same spray formula as Wallace Roasted Chicken
Mikako: "I can understand what Huashan-kun is thinking!"
Qingliu: "Why do you want a can too? I can sponsor the money for the drinks."
"Forget it, I'm going to have a swimsuit party in the mixed bathing pool tonight, I don't want to be in the pool... 呒呒!"
Kazuma covered Mikako's mouth with his hands: "Shut up! That scene is disgusting, and everyone will stay here for three weeks. Don't make it so that everyone doesn't want to go to the hot spring!"
"Swimsuit party?" Qingliu looked at Kazuma with disdainful eyes, "Hmph, man."
He Ma: "You don't have to come. Anyway, you are such a rock and roll, and everyone can understand if you don't fit in."
Qingliu bit off another piece of popsicle in one bite, and chewed it, as if she didn't hear Hema's words.
Tamamo suddenly asked, "Where are Honami and Chiyoko, what are they doing?"
"Xiaoqian called Ah Mao in the phone room." Qingliu said, "Honami didn't know, she was in the room all the time."
"She's working on a project assigned by the professor," Mikako said. "The Keio University is really miserable, and there is still homework for the summer vacation. By the way, Danzi, did you miss someone?"
He Ma: "Who?"
Tamamo: "Ah, Nichinan, what is she doing?"
Nanlicai rubbed his sleepy eyes and came down from the second floor as soon as he finished speaking. There are three stairs in this hotel, one of which is in the lobby.
"I slept well, can I have dinner?" She asked only to find that everyone was looking at her, "Huh? I... what's wrong with me?"
Mikako: "Are you awake? You've been sleeping for a long time, pack up quickly, we're going back to Tokyo soon."
Hema lightly slapped Mikako on the head with a knife: "If she really fell asleep for three weeks, we wouldn't be able to be so calm!"
"That's right. Then I'll do it again, Li Cai Cai Cai! You've finally woken up, you're so worried about me!"
Nobody cares about Mikako's embarrassing performance
Tamamo smiled and said to Nichinan Rina, "We should be able to eat right away, and there will be a swimsuit party in the mixed bath tonight, Nichinan, did you bring your swimsuit?"
"Bring it!" Nichinan Licai seemed to wake up all of a sudden, looking at Kazuma with a smug smile, "I bought a super bold style this time!"
I want to do it with Ma Xin, and I will see how bold it is later.
It's not that he is bragging, Kiryu and Marco have seen a lot, and they have seen all kinds of bold swimsuits—just in the game of life or death beach volleyball.
**
An hour and a half later, I confirmed with Ma that Rinan Ricai's swimsuit was really bold.
He sat directly in the pool water, not daring to get up at all, because the scene of getting up together would be too embarrassing.
Nishinan Rina looked at the swimsuits of the others one by one, then clenched his fists and put on a "win" expression.
If her face wasn't so red, the onlookers would have definitely thought she was a carnivore girl who had experienced many battles.
Yuzao smiled and said, "As expected of a former graphic model, she can wear such a bold swimsuit."
"That, of course."
"You used to dress like this for people to take pictures, right?" Yuzao asked again.
"No no! No such bold swimsuit!"
"Hey, it turns out someone was photographed wearing a swimsuit that wasn't so bold."
"What are you talking about! It's just an ordinary bikini!"
While Tamamo was teasing Nichinan, Honami went into the bath and sat next to Kazuma.
She was wearing a light yellow bikini with a beautiful bow on the tie.
He Ma: "This kind of tie bikini can't swim and half of the tie is open?"
"No, the bow on the lace is just a decoration, it's sewn to death." Honami smiled, "There are indeed styles with the real knot on the lace, but that kind of wear is not for swimming. "
"You are so clear?"
"These bridal practices will talk about how to improve the interest in the married life, which is a very important part of the bridal practice."
"Really?" He Ma scratched his head.
This is not the same as the bridal practice that the eldest lady accepts in his impression, isn't it just teaching flower arranging or something? The eldest lady should have zero knowledge in that area to meet the setting, right
But he thought about it, even in the comics, there are young ladies like Chika Fujiwara who know everything, so he decided not to worry about it.
Opposite Hema, Qingliu sat by the pool, patted the water with her feet, and plucked the guitar in her arms—she borrowed an acoustic guitar that was not afraid of water from the person from Sony Music who was also staying in the hotel.
Of course, it doesn't work if the strings of the acoustic guitar are damp, but just change the strings.
At this time, Chiyoko was also wearing a swimsuit and got out of the bath from Qingliu. When she saw Kazuma staring at her, she poured a handful of water over: "Don't look, I'm your sister!"
"It's also my brother's responsibility to make sure that my sister is well developed."
Chiyoko made a face at Kazuma, and then let the water cover her shoulders, so the graceful youthful curves were completely invisible.
At this time, Honami whispered in Kazuma's ear, "Have you asked Hana San-kun about the Institute of Fantasy Creatures?"
Although Honami was not there when Kazuma just came back from the shrine, she grabbed the seat next to Kazuma during the meal, so he told her the cause and effect while eating.
Hema sighed: "I went to ask, but Mr. Huashan seemed to be very busy at that time, so I didn't bother him."
This is a euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, Hua Tiger was still in the toilet when he asked Ma.
Originally, he and Ma planned to ask through the door, but he finally said a word, and there was a crackling sound from inside, which was too disgusting to listen to, so he had to give up first.
Honami pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you think? You should have a preliminary guess, right?"
"The reaction of the god master is a bit strange, especially when I asked him where he read Torajiro's story, the pause was a bit... Yuzao said that it was a normal pause when ordinary people encountered unexpected problems."
"Well... I didn't see the scene, so it's hard to say which one of you is right. Well, I'll go along too. I just want to get the subject done, and then I can play."
Kazuma comforted Honami and said, "It's okay, we'll stay here for three weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to act together."
Honami smiled: "Your statement seems to confirm that something will happen in these three weeks.
"However, maybe it was really an accident a year ago, and Kamiji was just a little nervous because his son lived alone for too long after he went to Tokyo.
"And the foxes that the old women talked about are just common stories in the countryside to scare children and make them go home early at night."
Kazuma turned his head and looked at Honami, and for a moment wanted to tell her that in the future there will be a story called "Into Science" in China, which will focus on explaining the weird folk legends as she just said.
Honami also looked at Kazuma, as if waiting for him to speak.
But He Ma couldn't tell what happened in the future, so he could only find something impromptu: "That...you can actually hold water in your collarbone."
Honami's body fat percentage should be very low. Even though she has such a good figure, there is still an obvious depression in the collarbone, and there is actually "accumulated water".
He Ma: "I kind of want to use your collarbone to hold wine!"
Honami laughed: "What the hell! It sounds like a barbarian who drinks blood."
"What, what? Where is the barbarian?" Mikako ran into the pool bluffing, and sat down on the other side of Kazuma, "Honami, did you know that today Kazuma carried me first, and then the egg. I'm with you Let me tell you, when you lie on his back, you will feel that the back is so wide, the muscles are so strong, and you feel so safe!"
Kazuma: "How about I get up first, Honami, you beat her first, and then I will enjoy the left and right hugs."
Mikako: "Hmph, it sounds like you're hugging now. Kazuma, you're so awesome when you talk about it, but in fact..."
Kazuma put his right hand around Mikako's shoulder, not to mention, the slippery feel of her shoulder was quite good.
Then he put his left arm around Honami.
The bodies of the two girls leaned directly on the ribs of the horse, and it felt...a little good!
Hema was about to float away, but Qingliu, who was sitting across from him, complained: "The current Hema looks like a middle-aged man with two girls in a club to show off his wealth, but he has a kappa on his head. The same bald one."
Mikako laughed loudly: "Qingliu is easy to understand!"
He Ma was about to go back, when he heard a wolf howling sound from outside the fence of the mixed bathing pool.
There was a sudden silence in the bath, and everyone looked up at the top of the fence.
The mixed bathing pool is open-air, surrounded by a two-meter-high fence, and the night sky above the head is full of moon and stars.
"Howling wolves?" Qingliu murmured, "Isn't it just three or four hours' drive from Tokyo here? Are there wolves here?"
Just as He Ma was about to answer, more wolf howls came from the distant mountains, as if echoing the head wolf.
