"Let's go, it's time to go home when you hear Dvořák." He Ma quipped, "Otherwise, the terrible demon fox will come to eat people's hearts and livers." ”

Yuzao glanced at him, suddenly raised one hand and spread his five fingers, making a gesture of wanting to scratch someone, and screamed "whoop".

"Run, the demon fox is here." He Ma said and ran a few steps forward.

But this must not really run, Tamamo is on his feet. If she doesn't have a broken foot, she can have a run towards the sunset full of youthful hormones.

Tamamo followed, and just looking at the way she walked, it didn't look like her feet were twisted at all.

"Doesn't it hurt?" And the horse asked.

"It hurts, but it's okay with this pain." Tamamo laughed.

Kazuma stared at her for a few seconds, convinced that his suggestion to carry her back to the hotel would be rejected, and then he turned around: "Let's go back." ”

"Hmm."

**

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already completely dark.

Mikako is lying on the railing on the second floor, licking popsicles while watching the sunset, wearing a hotel yukata.

"And horses!" She started waving when she saw the horse, "The popsicles and milk here are very good!" ”

The Japanese have a custom of drinking milk after taking a bath, and it seems that Mikako has already soaked in the bath.

"How does the bathhouse feel?" And the horse asked.

"The women's soup is quite good, it's big and spacious, and I don't know about the men's soup and mixed bath." Mikako said and ate the popsicle in three bites, then took the rest of the stick in her mouth, climbed over the railing with her free hands, and swung to the ground on the first floor.

Kazuma stared at the fat on her body that was shaking with vigorous exercise, and said, "It's time for you to lose weight." ”

"Look at where you say this! I'll cry if I lose it. Mikako said and patted Kazuma on the shoulder.

Kazuma grabbed her hand and sniffed it closely: "Well, the smell of bath gel, you've taken a bath, so you won't need to have a swimsuit party in the mixed bath tonight." ”

"Huh? Why don't you let me go? I can wash it again! ”

Tamamo: "Washing so many times is not good for the skin." In particular, hot spring water is a water that contains a lot of minerals, and your skin will become wrinkled after soaking for a long time. ”

"Really? I don't believe it! Mikako said, "I'll soak it again later." ”

At this time, Kazuma happened to see Ms. Kabashima passing by the corridor behind the hotel lobby with a hotel maid, so he shouted, "Female general! I'd like to charter a mixed bath tonight, and Chansoni Music will reimburse me. ”

"No problem." Ms. Kabashima made an OK gesture to Kazuma.

Mikako looked back at Ms. Kabashima and said to Kazuma, "Since it's a mixed bath, you don't need a swimsuit, right, how about just soaking?" ”

At this moment, a welfare scene that would definitely have in the eighth episode of a general romantic comedy came to his mind.

Okay、Looks like you can have it?

Tamamo: "Mikako, it's good to be honest with each other, but don't you think you've omitted too many steps?" ”

"Eh~ Actually, it's eggs, you bought a new swimsuit and want to show it to Kazuma! I get it! I've already shown it today! ”

Kazuma thought back for a while, and the swimsuit of Tamamo, who had just peeked through the sweaty skirt tube, did seem to be different from the style when he went to the beach last year.

Tamamo: "Mikako actually said it right once, it's really rare." ”

"What do you mean, it's too much!" Mikako pursed her lips, but immediately laughed again, "Okay, I'll go tell Honami and ask her to get her swimsuit ready." Needless to say, Haruru wouldn't want to see her swimsuit anyway. ”

Kazuma: "Actually, I'd like to see it." ”

The scene instantly cooled down, and Mikako and Tamamo both stared at him.

Mikako: "And the horse...... Could it be that you also want to see Miss Gan's swimsuit? ”

"No, forget it." Kazuma maintained the bottom line as a human being.

Yuzao smiled: "Scare me, I thought it was time to call the police." ”

"Danzi, did you realize that what you just said hurt Senior Sister Gan even more?" Mikako said, "It's a good thing she's not there." ”

And Ma whimsically wanted to tease Mikako: "Mikako, look at the back." ”

Mikako turned her head defenselessly: "What? ”

Of course, there was no one behind, but Mikako didn't shout right away, but turned her gaze downwards and looked at the ground.

"Trick me with the horse!" Only then did she turn back and yell at Kazuma.

"Your actions just now are also super rude to Senior Sister Gan!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Senior Sister Gan Meiyu suddenly appeared in the corridor behind the lobby, holding a popsicle in her hand.

He Ma smiled: "Nothing, nothing." ”

"Hmph, I can guess if you don't say it, anyway, I mean I'm short, and I'm used to it as a primary school student."

After speaking, Senior Sister Gan stuck out her tongue and licked the popsicle.

He Ma joked: "Senior sister, when will it take for your little tongue to be licked until the club." ”

"I can't help it, I get cold and my head hurts when I use it, and I can only lick popsicles, so a lot of them melt and drip on the ground."

"Isn't it a pity?"

"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's cheap after all." The little rich woman doesn't care.

Mikako took out the popsicle stick that had been in her mouth: "Senior sister, you can lick it faster, like this, baba baa, baa, baa." ”

Tamamo: "Poof." ”

Turning his head to look at Tamamo with Ma and Mikako.

Tamamo maintained the dignified Yamato Nadeshiko-style, as if she was still a little puzzled why the two of them suddenly looked over.

"Is there anything on my face?" She asked.

Kazuma: "Nothing. I know you're Yamato Nadeshiko, you're professionally trained, and you won't laugh no matter how funny you are. ”

Mikako performed the "faster-than-light licking popsicle" again: "Bah, ......"

But Yuzao showed a high level of professionalism this time, dignified and elegant.

Mikako: "Cut, boring." ”

And Gan Zhongyu stared at the popsicle in her hand, as if she was doing psychological construction, ready to practice the tricks that Mikako gave her.

"Just ignore the monkey." Haruru walked over from the vending machine with a popsicle.

"Haruru, do you only need to lick it?" Mikako asked.

"Of course not." Haruru opened her mouth, revealing a mouthful of white but not very neat teeth, and bit off a third of the popsicle with a click, revealing a little bit of the wood core in the middle of the popsicle.

"Oh, Haru Ruyu's way of eating is so rock! It's a rock girl who plays the guitar with her mouth! Mikako seemed to be the host of a funny variety show, and said in an exaggerated tone and expression.

Qingliu sighed: "Not everyone who plays rock will play the guitar with their mouth or smash the piano on stage, rock and roll also has genres." ”

Mikako: "What genre are you?" ”

Haruru: "Shinto has no thought flow. ”

"I didn't ask you about the kendo school! You give me about a little! Mikako complained like a mancai.

Haruru ignored him and looked at Kazuma, "How long do you plan to stand outside the hotel?" Isn't it hot? ”

Then he stepped into the door of the hotel.

Haruru continued to ask, "How is the shrine over there?" Did you buy a bone-setting plaster? ”

He went to the shrine with a horse to investigate the folk beliefs here and see what was going on with this shrine god that Tamamo didn't know. But this purpose is only known to him and Tamamo, and the others only think that they are going to buy plasters to learn about the festival by the way.

"Found something ......interesting," and Ma paused, always thinking that it was not good to call the dead something interesting, so he changed his words, "I found something unusual." ”

"Oh?" Haruru narrowed her eyes, clearly interested.

Senior Sister Gan Meiyu was even more excited than her: "Is someone summoning the outer gods to come?" ”

Only then did he remember that Gan Meiyu was the president of the New Strange Talk Research Association, although he was hollowed out of real power by Yuzao.

"No......"

He Ma was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Mikako: "It's a murder!" If the detective stays in a hotel in such a remote village, there will definitely be a murder! ”

"It's not murder. But last year......"

Kazuma told me what happened to the Meiji University Fantasy Biology Research Society last year.

Mikako: "It's a murder!" ”

"Shut up." Kazuma flicked her forehead, and then asked the others, "What about Hanayama-kun?" He is also from Meiji University, so I would like to ask him if he has heard about it. ”

Generally, there will be some rumors in the school about the death of people.

Even hearsay may help seekers discover the truth.

Qingliu: "Hanayama-kun seems to have diarrhea, and he should be in the toilet now." There's a super spicy drink from a small factory in a nearby town in the vending machine, so don't order it. ”

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Super spicy drink?" ”

"That's right, Hanayama-kun said, 'I've never heard of a spicy drink, I must try it,' so I bought a can and went to the toilet."

He Ma was speechless, thinking to himself, did this drink use the same spray recipe as Wallace roast chicken?

Mikako: "I can understand Hanayama-kun's thoughts!" ”

Haruyu: "Why do you want to have a can?" I can sponsor the money for drinks. ”

"Forget it, I'm going to have a swimsuit party in the mixed bath tonight, I don't want to be in the pool...... Click! ”

Kazuma moved to cover Mikako's mouth: "Shut up!" It's so disgusting that you still have to stay here for three weeks, so you don't want to go to the hot springs after that! ”

"Swimsuit party?" Haruru looked at Kazuma with disdain, "Hmph, man. ”

Kazuma: "You don't have to come." Anyway, you are so rock, everyone can understand that you are not social. ”

Qingliu bit off another popsicle and chewed it as if she hadn't heard Kazuma's words.

Tamamo suddenly asked, "What about Honami and Chiyoko, what are they doing?" ”

"Xiaoqian called Amao in the phone room." Haruru said, "Honami doesn't know, it's been in the room all the time." ”

"She's doing a project assigned by the professor," Mikako said, "Keio Juku is really miserable, and there is homework in the summer." Speaking of eggs, are you still missing someone? ”

Kazuma: "Who?" ”

Tamamo: "Ah, Nizuna, what is she doing?" ”

As soon as the sun set, Nan Sato came down from the second floor with her sleepy eyes rubbed - one of the three stairs of this hotel is in the lobby.

"Have you slept well, are you ready for dinner?" When she asked, she realized that everyone was looking at her, "Huh? I...... What's wrong with me? ”

Mikako: "Are you awake?" You've slept so long, clean up and we're heading back to Tokyo. ”

Kazuma lightly slapped Mikako on the head: "If she really sleeps for three weeks, we can't be so calm!" ”

"Oh, too. Then I'll do it all over again, Saina, Nana! You're finally awake, but I'm scared! ”

No one paid attention to Mikako's embarrassing performance

Tamamo smiled and said to Nichinan Saina, "I should be able to eat right away, and I have a swimsuit party in the mixed bath at night, did you bring a swimsuit with Ninan?" ”

"Bring it!" Rinana seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and looked at Wama with a smug smile, "I bought a super bold style this time!" ”

And the horse thought to himself, I'll see how bold it is later.

It's not that he blows, he's Kiryu and Marco have seen a lot of knowledge, and he's seen a lot of daring swimsuits - just in the game of life or death beach volleyball.

**

An hour and a half later, Kazuma confirmed that Nichinansa's swimsuit was really bold.

He sat directly into the pool, not daring to get up at all, because the scene was too embarrassing.

Rina Nichinan looked at the other people's swimsuits one by one, then clenched her fists and put on a "won" expression.

If it weren't for the fact that her face was already red, the onlookers would definitely think that she was the kind of carnivorous girl who had been through a hundred battles.

Tamamo smiled: "It's worthy of being a former plane model, and such a bold swimsuit can be controlled." ”

"That, of course."

"You used to dress like this and take pictures of people, right?" Tamamo asked again.

"No, no! There is no such daring swimsuit! ”

"Eh, I was photographed wearing a swimsuit that wasn't so bold."

"What, you say that! It's just a regular bikini! ”

While Tamamo was flirting with Nisna, Honami entered the bath and sat down next to Wama.

She was dressed in a pale yellow bikini with a nice bow tied up in her ties.

And Ma: "This laced bikini won't swim halfway through the strap-on?" ”

"No, the bow on the tie is just a decoration, sewn up." Honami laughs, "It's true that the knots on the ties are genuine, but those are not for swimming." ”

"You know so well?"

"These bride practices will talk about how to enhance the taste in the life of the couple, which is a very important part of the bride's practice."

"Really?" And the horse scratches his head.

This is not the same as the bride practice accepted by the eldest lady in his impression, isn't it the end of teaching flower arrangement? The eldest lady should have completely zero knowledge in that area to meet the setting, right?

But he thought about it, even in the manga, there is a big lady like Fujiwara Chika who knows everything, so he decided not to dwell on this.

Across from Kazuma, Haruru sat on the edge of the pool, patting the water with her foot while playing with the guitar she was holding—she borrowed an acoustic guitar that was not very afraid of water from the people who were also staying at the hotel.

Of course, the acoustic guitar doesn't seem to have damp strings, but it's good to change the strings.

Chiyoko also got out of the bath from Haruu in a swimsuit at this time, and when she saw Kazuma staring at her, she splashed a handful of water over: "Don't look, I'm your sister!" ”

"It's also my brother's duty to make sure that my sister is developing well."

Chiyoko grimaced at Kazuma, and then let the water go over her shoulders, so that the graceful curves of youth were completely invisible.

At this time, Honami whispered in Kazuma's ear, "Have you asked Hanayama-kun about the Fantasy Biology Research Association?" ”

Although Honami wasn't present when Kazuma just returned from the shrine, she grabbed a place next to Kazuma during the meal, so Kazuma told her about the cause and effect while eating.

Kazuma sighed: "I went to ask, but Hanayama-kun seemed to be very busy at the time, so I didn't bother him." ”

This is a euphemism, in fact, Hua Shanjun was still in the toilet when he went to ask with Ma.

Originally, he was going to ask Ma through the door, but before he said a word, there was a crackling sound inside, and it was too disgusting just to listen to, so he had to give up first.

Honami pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "What do you think?" There must be a preliminary guess, right? ”

"The priest's reaction was a little strange, especially when I asked where he had read the story of Injiro, and the pause was a bit ...... Tamamo says that this is the normal pause when the average person encounters an unexpected problem. ”

"Hmm...... I didn't see the scene, so it's hard to say which of you is right. Alas, I'll go with it. I'm just thinking about getting the problem done with three times and dividing five by two, and then I can play it. ”

Kazuma reassured Honami and said, "It's okay, we're here for three weeks, and we have a chance to act together." ”

Honami smiled: "You say this, as if you think that something will happen in the past three weeks."

"But maybe it was an accident a year ago, and the god was just a little nervous about living alone for too long after his son went to Tokyo.

"And the demon fox that the old woman said is just a common story in the countryside to scare children and make them come home early at night."

Kazuma turned her head to look at Honami, and for a moment wanted to tell her that in the future there would be a story in China called "Into Science", focusing on interpreting the weird folk legends as she had just said.

Honami also looked at Kazuma, looking like she was waiting for him to speak.

But Kazuma couldn't talk about the future, so he could only find a temporary message: "That...... You can hold water in your collarbones. ”

Honami's body fat rate should be very low, and with such a good figure, there are still obvious depressions in the collarbone, and there can be "stagnant water".

Kazuma: "I'm kind of tempted to use your collarbone for a drink!" ”

Honami laughed, "What the hell! It sounds like the words of a barbarian who drinks blood. ”

"What? Where are the barbarians? Mikako ran into the pool and sat down on the other side of Kama, "Honami, do you know, today Kazuma first carried me, and then carried the eggs." Let me tell you, when you lie on his back, you will feel that this back is so wide, the muscles are so strong, and you feel safe! ”

Kazuma: "Why don't I get up first, Honami, you beat her first, and then I'll enjoy the left and right hugs." ”

Mikako: "Hmph, you look like you're hugging right now." And you, the horse, the scenery is infinitely awesome, but in fact, ......"

Kazuma's right hand wrapped around Mikako's shoulder, not to mention, her shoulder felt slippery.

Then he put his left hand around Honami.

The bodies of the two girls leaned directly against the ribs of the horse, and they felt ...... It's kind of good!

Kazuma was about to float, but Haruku, who was sitting opposite, complained: "The current Wama looks like the kind of middle-aged uncle who accompanies the wine girl in the club in order to boast of his financial resources, but he has a bald head like a kappa." ”

Mikako laughed: "Haruku understands so much!" ”

He Ma was about to go back when he heard a wolf's howl from outside the fence of the mixed bath.

The bath fell silent and everyone looked up at the top of the fence.

The mixed bath is open-air, surrounded by a two-meter-high fence, and the night sky overhead is moonlit and starry.

"Howling wolf?" Haruru muttered, "Here...... Isn't it just a three- or four-hour drive from Tokyo? That's a wolf? ”

And the horse shrugged.
