Chapter 018. Homesickness is a bowl of clear soup ramen
Qiao Qiao has not seen the artist's studio.
He has the impression that the artist's studio is probably a random application of paint, extremely chaotic, and it is very difficult to even take a step.
Therefore, he was a little surprised when he saw Tetsu Iguchi's studio.
Too neat.
On the second floor, in addition to the studio, there is also Tetsu Iguchi's room and restrooms.
In front of one of the walls of the studio, there is a display case.
The cabinet is made of mahogany, and the glass is as clear as new.
The display inside is dusty.
All of them are various trophies and models.
There are bridges, there are houses, and there are also some sculptures of unknown city landmarks.
A whole wall represents the glorious past of Tetsu Iguchi.
On the other side of the studio, near the window, there is a huge table.
On the table are miniature models, and there are several houses with unique shapes.
It is different from the flat layout of traditional houses.
There is a strange sense of distortion and incongruity in these rooms.
It was as if it was about to collapse.
Let Qiao Qiao describe it, it may be the world in the eyes of a drunk drunk.
"It can be seen that depression is very serious to Mr. Inoguchi."
Asako Asano took a closer look and continued.
Truly.
Qiao Qiao compared the model in the display case with the building on this table.
The styles of the two are completely different, and there is no sense of disobedience even to say that they are the work of two different people.
The studio on the third floor is more of a design draft and archives, and since it is not something that needs to be kept secret, the three of them also looked around and found no special clues.
As for the basement, there is nothing else noteworthy other than the piles of sculptural materials and pigments.
But Qiao Qiao is not a detective after all, but a soul killer.
As a matter of fact.
From the moment he first walked into the house, Qiao Qiao felt an unusually thick yin qi.
It's an unnatural pile-up.
In this environment, even a normal dead spirit can be contaminated.
Become a wraith.
"Do you really have to come at night?"
Ariko Asano glanced at Qiao Qiao.
This time, I didn't encounter the spirits that appeared during the day.
But the condition of this villa is indeed strange.
Generally speaking, you need to come and explore at night.
In addition, the security guard uncle also encountered an abnormality when he was patrolling at night.
"Yes, indeed."
Qiao Qiao agreed.
The two of them decided to come back in the evening.
When I walked out of the villa, it was almost dusk.
The setting sun stained the clouds orange, and the shadows of the telephone poles were dragged for a long time.
Qiao Qiao glanced back at the villa.
The huge monster-like building looks even more eerie in the setting sun.
He was a little uneasy.
But Asako Asano seems to be quite relaxed.
“...... There is a Hakata ramen restaurant nearby, and I heard that it is very famous. ”
Still holding his mobile phone with interest, typing some text from time to time, and opening the web page from time to time to view.
This may be the surplus of large families.
Born in Atsuta Jingu.,It's a trainee witch.。
I must have been through a hundred battles for a long time, and I have seen a lot, but I haven't seen any resentful spirits and monsters.
"Ramen?"
Qiao Qiao was also a little hungry, and ate two rice balls at random for lunch, and his stomach was already empty at this time.
"Qiao San, too, it just so happens that you have a motorcycle, let's go and come back quickly, you can't get rid of your spirit when you're hungry."
Asano Riko glanced at Qiao Qiao's motorcycle.
"Well, wait a minute."
Qiao Qiao felt that what Asako Asano said made sense.
He untied the rope that connected the wooden box to the motorcycle, made some weeds, and buried the wooden box outside the yard.
At first glance, this is a mediocre glove compartment that no one will notice.
"I've been wanting to ask since just now, Qiao San, what is this?"
Ariko Asano opened her curious eyes and watched as Qiao Qiao carefully hid the box.
"It's a tool for removing spirits."
Qiao Qiao replied truthfully.
"Josan is really well prepared."
Asako Asano sighed.
"Then let's go."
Qiao Qiao sat in the driver's seat, and there was a vacant seat behind him.
Although the location is a bit small as far as Qiaoqiao is concerned.
However, Asako Asano is also very petite.
It's just right to sit.
She is not like many girls, she has too many scruples, awkwardness, and duplicity.
Instead, he sat generously on the back seat of Qiao Qiao.
Holding Qiao Qiao's waist with both hands.
The two of them just walked out of the villa area one after the other.
Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people.
Arrived at the destination.
This is a relatively old commercial street.
The ramen shop is located on the street.
Qiao Qiao ordered a bowl of soy sauce barbecued pork ramen.
Asano Arishi is the signature Hakata tonkotsu ramen.
"You've come to a Hakata-style ramen shop, and you don't order tonkotsu ramen, Qiaosan, you're really strange."
Asako Asano seemed to like the feeling of eating in a small shop, and her body couldn't help but shake a little.
"To be honest, the ramen of Wakuni is a little too light in my opinion."
Qiao Qiao glanced at the menu, as well as the prices.
I checked it again, and the soy sauce barbecued pork ramen was indeed the cheapest ramen in the store.
It is worthy of Shinjuku City, and I don't know how expensive ramen is compared to school cafeterias.
"Yes, Qiao San, you are from Huaxia, I heard that there are many kinds of ramen in Huaxia, such as what kind of bullet noodles?"
Asako Asano asked with interest.
"It's dan dandou noodles."
Qiao Qiao corrected her mispronunciation.
"Egg noodles?"
Asano Riko blinked.
“...... Never mind. ”
Qiao Qiao felt that it was indeed difficult to let a Chinese person master the pronunciation of Chinese in a short period of time.
"In short, there are more types of noodles in Huaxia, and the flavors are more diverse, not only soup noodles, but also cold noodles, dry noodles, and the shape of the noodles is also different.
Speaking of this, Qiao Qiao remembered that he hadn't eaten noodles from his hometown for a long time.
No matter what world it is.
Nostalgia is sometimes brought up by inadvertent little things.
As if noticing the change in Qiao Qiao's expression, Asano Ariko spoke.
"Qiao San seems to know the other side very well, I really want to have the opportunity to taste Huaxia noodles, if you have the chance, after which time Qiao San will take me to eat."
Finally, she added.
"I can give extra money."
My impression in the mind of the Asano shrine maiden seems to have become strange.
Qiao Qiao said with emotion.
I was a little curious about how much money she would give.
If you have 100,000 yen, it's not impossible to cut some of your study time to cook.
The two of them ate ramen, studied the mission materials in the store for a while, and after Tetsu Iguchi's interpersonal relationship, they drew a gourd and took a small motorcycle back to the villa.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
The two asked the security guard to borrow the key to the villa.
Came to the front of the villa.
Just like last time, Asako Asano first arranged the charms for the enchantment in the four directions of the villa.
"Ah, by the way, Josan your props."
When Asano Ariko was arranging the enchantment, she happened to see the box that Qiao Qiao was hiding in the weeds, and was about to go and remove the weeds.
"Wait!"
Qiao Qiao suddenly shouted, causing Asano Ariko to subconsciously retract her hand.
"What's wrong?"
She panicked.
Did you accidentally destroy the arrangement of Qiao Qiao?
After all, Qiao Qiao is strong and a senior.
Ariko Asano thought of an accident that her father had said about because the cooperating soul slayer did not understand the intentions of her teammates, resulting in a mistake and causing major casualties.
"Nope."
Qiao Qiao walked to the side of the box, but did not rush to remove the weeds, but squatted down, and from the side of the box, with a click, took out a dark green metal box.
"In order to prevent accidents, I have set a trap on this box, and if you touch it rashly, you will be directly paralyzed by high-voltage electricity."
He checked again before picking at the weeds.
Asako Asano saw tinsel mixed in the weeds.
"Yes, is that so?"
She felt as if something was wrong.
After arranging everything, the two walked into the villa and turned on all the lights.
Warm light filled the entire villa, just like the ones next door.
The two waited in the living room, and Ariko Asano was sitting and meditating with her eyes closed quite seriously at first.
Well, I thought I had ten minutes of meditation.
Later, I started playing with my mobile phone.
Qiao Qiao held a library book explaining architecture and read it silently.
This was borrowed from the school library after learning that today's commission was related to the architect.
It was midnight.
Twelve.
Qiao Qiao has increased the maximum spiritual power of 0.5 standard units.
The lights of the surrounding buildings have long since been extinguished.
There was silence throughout the villa area.
Suddenly.
Riko Asano's cell phone rang.
