September 22nd.

Cloudy to light rain.

Tokyo.

On the playground of the high school affiliated to Minejo University, a three-story building rises from the ground.

From the outside, the building is completely black, windowless, and looks like a prison.

Except for an entrance and an exit, not even the cracks in the building are visible.

During this time, this building became the focus of Fengcheng High School for a while.

At first, everyone didn't know what it was, but it was probably related to the Peak City Festival.

Some speculate that it is a new project led by the student union.

Some people also think that it is a powerful society that makes big news.

After all, although the location of that place is not good, it is quite large, and it must be a big deal to be able to obtain the permission of the student union.

But now, as the Peak City Festival is about to begin, everyone has a basic understanding of what this slightly gloomy building does.

It turned out to be a haunted house of the Department of Mystical Research.

The students were suddenly bored.

Haunted house or something, it's barely in other schools, but it's the least anticipated Fengcheng Festival project in Peak City High School, and there is no one.

"Well, that's it, okay, okay."

Qiao Qiao commanded the last task.

That is to hang the sign of the haunted house at the entrance.

The haunted house of the Mystery Research Department is naturally not called a haunted house.

Qiao Qiao named it the Adventure House.

After all, the four areas are basically made up of adventures one at a time.

Rather than a haunted house, an adventure house is more suitable.

And they're a mystery research department, not a ghost research department, after all.

"Is this really going to work?"

Due to the proximity of the Peak City Festival, Natsume Poetry, a member of the Wind Discipline Commission, was also busy, and he had no time to take care of the affairs of the Mysterious Research Department.

I can't help myself anyway.

"Natsume-san want to try it out?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Forget it, if I have time during the Peak City Festival, I'll try it."

Natsume Shishi rejects Qiao Qiao's proposal.

After all, this haunted house...... The structure of the adventure house seems to be very complicated, and there are various mechanisms that can be very troublesome to open once.

"Speaking of which......"

Natsume Yuki was about to leave when she remembered something.

"Do you really want to bring Sayoko to the Peak City Festival?"

Since the preparation needs the help of the school, Natsume Poetry has also received some news, roughly that an important person will participate in the Peak City Festival on the last day, and needs the cooperation of the student council and other institutions.

Although it didn't point to it, Natsume's poetry, who knew something inside, quickly guessed the answer.

"Well, after all, it was something that was promised to her."

"What a strange guy."

Natsume looked at Qiao Qiao with a little puzzlement.

"As long as you stay by Sayoko's side, you will only suffer a steady stream of misfortunes, but you don't feel afraid at all."

"Are you fascinated by Sayoko, well, that kid is really cute."

"I'm a little curious, why would you want to stay by Sayoko's side, even if you have to suffer from her misfortune?"

Hearing Natsume's words, Qiao Qiao smiled.

"Missed one thing, Natsume-san."

"Higuchi-san's misfortune may be transferred to others, but she is not the source of the misfortune herself."

He glanced at Natsume's poetry.

"If Higuchi-san can be kept healthy, happy, and happy all the time, then she's just an ordinary girl."

“...... This guy ......."

Natsume Shi glanced at Qiao Qiao deeply.

Didn't speak again.

......

Somewhere in Tokyo.

In a dark, cold, dry room.

Countless lines of different thicknesses are densely packed.

Several monitors are emitting a faint light.

Buzz –

Suddenly, a monitor lit up.

There is no pattern on it, only the text "SOUND ONLY" flashes.

"Intelligence confirmed, third day."

An apparently processed voice rang out from the on-screen loudspeaker.

Buzz –

The other displays also gradually lit up, and all of them were filled with the text "SOUND ONLY".

At the same time, these rays illuminate the person standing in the middle of the monitor.

He wears an old suit and a pair of glasses with dark lenses.

"Now it seems that Hawaii's defeat was also in that guy's calculations."

"That guy is horrible, we shouldn't have done it."

"But this is the best chance, if you can make that girl run wild, at least that guy won't be able to take care of this side for a short time."

"It's too simplistic, I even think that our conversation has been mastered by that guy."

"It's okay, next month, when that one returns, we can really start the counterattack."

"Until then, it's necessary to properly disturb that guy's line of sight."

The voices of several monitors were discussing with each other.

And the person standing in the middle did not say a word, only listened silently.

It was discussed for a few more minutes.

It seems that the conclusion has finally been reached.

"I'm in charge this time."

The first voice said to the man standing in the middle.

"You don't have to work too hard, you don't have to go all out to accomplish your goals, secrecy is the top priority."

Buzz –

With that, the monitor went black.

Buzz Buzz –

The other displays were also extinguished.

At last, the man was the only one left, standing in the darkness.

"Interesting."

He smiled.

Buzz –

The figure is also like an electronic screen, dimming and disappearing.

......

"Hey, is it a cultural festival?"

At night, Suzuka asked curiously.

"Well, Suzuka can go and play if you're interested."

Qiao Qiao replied.

Suzuka's recent physical condition has been good, and she has also been allowed to go out for a long time, and Qiao Qiao thinks that letting her go to the Peak Castle Festival to have a look, by the way, contact with her peers and realistic entertainment activities, will be of great help to her physical and mental growth.

Of course, the more basic reason is that Suzuka missed her trip to Hawaii and has always held a grudge.

"Hehe, what is the project of Qiao San's class, is it a large-scale arms sales exhibition?"

"Unfortunately, this proposal was rejected."

Qiao Qiao took a sip of tea.

The tea I brewed by myself really didn't seem to be as delicious as Higuchi-san.

"It's a maid café."

"What, is Qiao San going to put on a maid costume?"

Suzuka's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Speaking of which, people in the live broadcast room have often asked Asano Qiaoqiao when it will start, Qiao San's popularity is unexpectedly high."

"No, I look like I'm playing the deacon."

Qiao Qiao remembered the set of deacon's clothes that he had brought back today.

It looks like it's just a normal tuxedo.

I don't know why, there are also monocles.

The girl's interest is really incomprehensible.

Speaking of deacons, don't they look reliable at first glance wearing tactical vests and holding weapons?

"The deacon is not bad, don't worry, Qiao San, even if no one patronizes it at that time, I will turn over the sign."

Suzuka seems to have been watching TV dramas to learn Chinese recently, and it seems that she has added a lot of strange knowledge.

"But the cultural festival, I didn't expect this kind of plot that can only be seen in animations to really happen!"

Suzuka said expectantly.

"No, most schools have cultural festivals, but they are just different in size."

Qiao Qiao had no idea what Suzuka was excited about.

"By the way, that big-breasted shrine maiden shouldn't go to the cultural festival, right?"

Suzuka said as if she remembered something.

"Asano shrine maiden? She had to go to class, and she couldn't come. ”

"Yay, Hallelujah! Chance！ ”

"This terrier is too old!"
