……

It seems that a small yellow bird was released from the beginning of the paper birdcage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Birdie, beep!"

When Satsuki saw this, she showed that she desperately wanted to touch it.

Katir handed the rod to Satsuki and said:

"It might smell a little burnt, but wait a while before touching it."

"That's pretty good, isn't it...... The toys of the past are also not to be underestimated."

"There seem to be other types that fly out of the parachute or the flag, but unfortunately fireworks are forbidden, so there is no way to introduce you to the fireworks that fly upwards."

But there is no way around it, after all, pollution is something that must be paid attention to now and in the future.

"It's a little bird!"

After making sure that it was not hot, Xiao Yue took the paper bird cage in her hand.

"Thank you! Katier"

Xiao Yue thanked him frankly under the reminder, and that energetic look made Tianyu in the distance smile too.

"Lingyin-san, Lingyin-san!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Is there anyone there who is also setting off fireworks?"

The direction indicated by Satsuki, who was carefully holding the birdcage, was not directed towards us who were excitedly playing with fireworks.

If you look closely, you can see a group of trance lights reflecting on the sea at night.

It looks like a large group, but if you look closely, it does look a little like the color of the sparks emitted by fireworks.

"Well, I don't know. Anyway, Satsuki, you shouldn't be afraid of cigarette fireworks. Why don't you join with the past?"

"Ahh

Satsuki quickly ran to Xinyou without admitting defeat.

Seeing this, Lingyin turned to look at the sea.

The light reflected on the sea at night is not a symbol of good luck.

Speaking of the strange fire on the sea in the past, it was regarded as the most ominous omen.

In some places, it is still said that those who see the strange fire and light emitted from the sea will be taken to hell.

Of course, Reine also knows that there are strange fire phenomena on the earth that cannot be scientifically explained, such as the fire of ignorance and the fire of St. Elmo.

Especially if there is a goddess by her side, even if she exists, this is an incredible thing, and it is not a big deal.

"Uh, are you afraid of ignorance?"

Reine looked up at this sudden question and saw that you were looking at the sea.

"Aren't you playing with fireworks?"

Lingyin digressed the topic with this question.

"I've already played, and now I want to take a break."

Xinyou paused, then looked at Lingyin.

"I didn't mean to scare you, but there's a lot of weirdness here."

"Weird talk?"

"Strange is a kind of boat spirit that appears next to fishing boats when there is fog or storms. To increase the companions of the drowned, they will shout to lend me a rope, and if they lend a rope, then the ship will sink. When the ship spirit appears, it will ignite a fire on the surface of the sea like that. There seem to be similar stories elsewhere, but in short, the dead who can't ascend to heaven are doing something."

Xinyou said as he looked at the light on the sea.

"I often feel like I can't understand why the dead come back to earth to do evil."

"Huh?"

"Oh, because isn't there a custom like all kinds of festivals? That's why I think that the first person who is afraid of the dead or the sign from that world must have done a lot of bad things while he was alive."

"Isn't that a story that comes from the fear of death?"

Maiko interjected.

Judging by the nearly ten burned-out ashes in front of Maiko's eyes, he must have liked this thing very much.

"Don't you think that fear of death is a completely different thing from fear of the voice of the dead?"

It suddenly evolved into a topic about the concept of life and death, and it made people feel as if it was heavy.

"Isn't it too much to fear the dead who have left regrets or attachments to them? In fact, the real horror ......"

Shinyo suddenly looked at the lighthouse at the Inu-bark Cape, which glowed against the dark sea.

"It's always been the ones who are alive. Basically, the so-called bad omens have a scientific basis, and they are just the result of these chain effects. Uh, anyway, I want to say ......."

Heart, turn back to the beach.

In front of her line of sight, there are Tianyu, Katier, Yu Xin, and Xiao Yue, who is holding fireworks with the help of Yu Xin and smiling all over her face.

"You can't let children do things that treat souls differently."

「…… Miss Heart?"

"What? What does that mean?"

Just when Reine and Maiko couldn't understand what they wanted to say, they asked further-

W............ow, oh

............Wow oh

............Wow oh

A loud sound like a bass siren shook the entire Arashi Beach.

Everyone except Xinyou shrank in fright because of this sudden sound.

"Huh?"

Even Satsuki, who was happily playing with the cigarette fireworks, looked around in fright, and the sparkling incense fireworks fell with it.

The only, no, the only one who looked at the lighthouse turned his gaze back to the lighthouse again. As for the other, of course, it's a certain waste goddess!

"I—We're a little scared too......

Just as Yu Xin said this, the roar resounded again.

"Well, this one, it's the sound of a lighthouse fog horn. So it doesn't mean there's any danger, you can rest assured."

"Fog Horn?"

Lingyin asked her heart because she hadn't heard of this term.

"It refers to the sound signal emitted by the fog signal of the lighthouse when there is a thick fog. It is also a siren sound to warn ships in the open sea to be careful not to run aground. Isn't the sea foggy now?"

As long as the weather conditions are met, the sea will be as prone to fogging in summer as it is in winter.

"Hey, hey, wasn't the weather just now?"

Everyone present looked up at Doudou's voice and gasped unconsciously. The sea in the distance has begun to be covered with a pure white fog. Even the nearby lights were engulfed in fog, and only a vague confirmation of their location was possible.

"Really, what an exaggerated fog."

Even Maiko looked around in a panic.

"Look at the situation, I think I'll come here."

Your tone unconsciously became nervous.

"Fog is common on the seashore, and it seems that this fog will extend to the land. Unfortunately, it looks like the fireworks show can only go so far."

Xinyou nodded, pointed to the remains of the fireworks and said to Tianyu!

"Excuse me, can you please clean up this place? I'm going to take the girls back to the hotel. After all, when the fog comes ashore, it will be so thick that even the local residents can't go out."

The heart that gives instructions neatly is like two people who are leisurely during the day.

"I—I know."

Nodding, Doudou teamed up with Maiko and began to clean up the ashes.

Since it can be confirmed with the naked eye that the dense fog is constantly moving towards the land, fueled by the sea breeze, Doudou hurriedly said to Xinyou while wrinkling his head:

"Xiao Yue and Yu Xin will leave it to you."

"Hey, hey, where the hell are you putting your two sisters?"

Although you replied lightly, you didn't seem to have the strength to continue the joke and nodded immediately.

"Leave it to me. But don't go out as much as possible. I have to wake up early tomorrow, so let's go to bed today. So, Sister Lingyin, Sister Katier, Sister Xiaoyue, Sister Yuxin, let's go."

Xinyou urged several women to leave the beach quickly, and Tianyu and the others also watched them with some uneasiness.

By the time they arrived at the hotel, the fog that had engulfed the city was so thick that they couldn't even see the street clearly.

"Alright, let's go rest. Tomorrow I will remember to come and get my part-time salary."

However, after seeing off Yuxin and her party, you went straight to the smoke-filled road.

"Miss Xin, the fog is still very thick. Why don't you wait in the lobby for a while?"

Suzune's suggestion was a no-brainer. But you refused.

"I have a bit of a chorre to attend to. Well, it has something to do with my business, as long as it gets foggy, you have to go somewhere. Don't worry, I'm used to it. See you tomorrow."

After quickly speaking, Yu Xin and the others didn't have time to stop it, and Xinyou disappeared into the dense fog of the night.

Lingyin, Yuxin, and Xiaoyue all watched with some worry at Xinyou who disappeared into the fog.

Only Katir looks insignificant, but if you look closely, you will see that she has a smile on her face like a kitten stealing a fish.

In this unsettling fog, only a light that appeared to be from a lighthouse flashed quickly.

……

"But this fog is really exaggerated."

"If you go out at a time like this, you really feel like you can't see your fingers."

Doudou and Maiko look out from the window of their accommodation room.

Suzu –

"Hey, Tianyu, your phone is ringing."

Maiko can't help but call out to Doudou and hand him the homemade phone she has casually put aside.

"Oh, it's a message from Satsuki...... They arrived at the hotel safely."

But soon I was puzzled and focused on the last sentence.

「…… Really?"

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Maiko asked, Doudou looked up and replied:

"Oh, I heard that Miss Xinyou seems to have gone somewhere in this fog?"

"I should just go home, right? Isn't she a local?"

"Well, it's possible, but Satsuki didn't say 'go back', but 'go somewhere'."

Doudou closed his phone and put it in his pocket and glanced outside again.

Having said that, I still don't know what your heart does.

She didn't go out for work-related things. The fog left the line of sight only a few meters ahead, and just when Doudou secretly prayed that you would not be in a traffic accident-
