"Squeak!"

Sanae pushed open the slightly astringent iron gate and entered the courtyard of the box garden. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as she took her first step, Sanae felt that her feet were buried by something unknown.

Not only did the unidentified objects sink Sanae's shoelace feet in, but some of them even penetrated into her shoes. The soft and slightly fragrant touch couldn't help but startle Sanae.

“………… Why, it turned out to be cherry blossom petals. ”

Through the thin moonlight, Sanae finally saw the body of those unknown objects.

Spread on the ground are the petals of purple cherry blossoms.

And these petals form a thick bedding, which deeply conceals the vast box garden. Faintly reflected in the moonlight, it exudes a luster that no visitor can describe.

It's like a dream...... This may be the best description that Shouya's wind wish can give.

But she didn't come to enjoy the garden of the box garden this time.

"These petals ......" Sanae was a little bothered, "Is there no one to take care of such a large garden?"

Of course, no one could answer her question.

She seemed to give up and focused on the buildings of the box garden.

The large and small rooms of Hakoniwa are like building blocks that have been wantonly messed up by naughty children, stacked and mixed together, so that guests cannot understand the purpose of each room. "Chaotic and disorderly" is the best way to describe this layout.

The large number of rooms stood in such a messy manner, oppressed, showing a maddening laziness.

The wind blowing from the direction where these houses were located gave Sanae a familiar smell of the city. That kind of breath brings more unhappiness similar to prisons and detention centers. Even the size of the window is not big or small in Sanae's eyes, and it just feels like a prison.

As Sanae has always said, you can't be bound by common sense in this Gensokyo.

This place in Hakowa is also without common sense.

However, to Sanae's surprise, between the rows of rooms, there was a small room that was squeezed by other surrounding rooms with a faint light.

Could it be that there are people? This was Sanae's first reaction.

"It seems that you really didn't lock the door, senior. A wry smile appeared on the face of the little mud-stained Suina, which further highlighted his embarrassment, "I didn't go shopping alone before I knew about the banquet. ”

Don't be so nervous

Kumakawa put on a smile that wanted to make Suina feel more relaxed.

Although I forgot to lock the door, the box garden will definitely not have an accident~

“………… Senior, why are you so sure?"

A look of suspicion as usual.

Because............ Kumagawa blinked.

"Knock knock knock ......" as a courtesy, Sanae knocked on the door in advance.

“………… Huh?"

Sanae seemed to be able to hear the surprised male voice inside: "Is it the little brother of Kumagawa?"

"I'm a guest who came to visit Hakoniwa, can you let me in?" Sanae, who was surprised by this title to the host, decided to report to her house first, "I'm Sanae of Toshiyama of Moriya Shrine." ”

“…………！？”

Feng Zhu could clearly feel that the people inside were a little shaken, and the surprise component was even stronger.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"Please come in. The door is not locked. ”

"Hey...... excuse me. After the accusation, Sanae pushed open the hidden door.

The flickering lights outlined the lines of the man in the room.

I saw a man who had wrapped himself tightly in thick clothes sitting not far away, wearing an extremely modest hat on his head. Although she can see it clearly under the lights, Sanae always feels that her impression of the person in front of her is completely vague.

He was probably reading, and when he saw Sanae come in, he immediately put the book down.

"It's rude, Sanae-sama. The man's voice listened carefully, there were no special characteristics, and there were no special feelings, "It happened suddenly, so I didn't prepare anything, so I can only ask you to sit down first." ”

Under Sanae's complicated eyes, the man got up and walked deeper into the room.

I guess I'm going to get some tea.

Thinking like this, Sanae sat down uncomfortably and glanced at the book on the music table.

............ "Folk Techniques"?

"I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say it," the man quickly came back with a jar, "I'm a soothsayer, and I'm here for the time being to look after the owners of the house." The two masters are not here now, so what are you doing with Sanae-sama, who visited you all night?"

-- There's a soothsayer who watches the door for us, so said Urumagawa.
