"Huh? The storeroom is a place where you can't just go in. ”

The tour guide said tactfully.

In fact, even the tour guide himself could not enter the warehouse casually.

After all, Koizumi Yakumo is also a celebrity, and the posthumous works of celebrities, especially those of Koizumi Yakumo, who is a soul reliber, are still of high value.

In the past, there were thefts of Koizumi Yakumo's relics, but later, the soul slayers of Shimane Prefecture added a powerful barrier to prevent the theft.

"Actually, we're soul slayers."

Qiao Qiao took out his papers.

"I have reason to suspect that there is something in Koizumi Yakumo's posthumous work that has the possibility of causing a strange disaster, and the matter is urgent, and I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."

When the tour guide heard Qiao Qiao's words, he was puzzled for a while.

Even if it was a soul slayer, this classmate came to ask to see the treasury halfway through the visit, as if something was not right?

"Well, if it's a soul exorcist investigation, you need to make a written application with the local association first, and then"

The tour guide said hesitantly.

"It's an emergency, if something goes wrong, can you afford to be held accountable later?"

Qiao Qiao asked seriously.

"This"

The tour guide's face was a little ugly.

If something really happens and you end up blaming yourself, you really can't afford it.

Since the other party's documents are genuine, why don't you just help?

He found the staff on duty at the memorial hall, explained the situation clearly, and asked him to take Qiao Qiao and Sayoko to the warehouse next door to the memorial hall.

Compared to the classical Japanese-style architecture of the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Museum, the storehouse is obviously much more modern.

It's not so much a treasury as a research institute, which also has.

You can see a variety of experimental equipment, analytical reagents, references, etc.

Among them, many Qiao Qiao are still a little familiar, and they are aimed at weird analysis equipment.

It seems that there are still many mysteries left by Koizumi Yakumo itself.

"Because Koizumi Yakumo used to travel with the country during his lifetime, there are many things related to weirdness in his relics, which can not be analyzed until the recent development of analytical methods."

The staff member appears to be a researcher here, named Izumi.

"But in the case of paintings, there shouldn't be anything worth studying."

He led Qiao Qiao and Sayoko to the door of the next room.

When you open the door, you can smell the smell of old paper, there are no windows, it is slightly dim, and when you turn on the light, you can see three shelves, densely packed with scrolls.

"These are all paintings collected by Koizumi Yakumo, and some of them were painted by himself, and due to the needs of the exhibition, the classification is in chronological order, so if you want to check what period of time, put on gloves first."

The spring brought the two of them gloves to use to touch the antiquities.

"There's always a sense of adventure."

Sayoko whispered in Qiao Qiao's ear.

Due to the small space, her voice accompanied by breath brushed Qiao Qiao's ears, a little itchy.

"According to the information we got, it should be about spring, or cherry blossoms, do you have any impression?"

Qiao Qiao turned his head and looked at the paintings on the shelves.

"Sakura?"

Izumi frowned slightly, thinking for a moment.

"If it's other flowers, there are still them, but I haven't seen cherry blossoms before."

He took down one of the paintings and opened it carefully.

This is an ink painting with a blooming peony and a yellow warbler, which is rich in Chinese classical characteristics.

"This is a scroll collected by Koizumi Yakumo in Huaxia, and it is a rare ink painting in his collection."

Quan Shui seemed to like the paintings, and then showed Qiao Qiao some other paintings.

In addition to ink paintings, there are also ukiyo-e in the Japanese style, full of oriental charm, most of these paintings depict flowers, birds, wind and moon, and most of the figure paintings are story paintings in his "Strange Tales".

Qiao Qiao took a photo and recorded it after asking for permission, but his intuition told him that what the monster old woman wanted to see was not here.

"That's all for our collection here."

The spring slowly put away the scroll and said.

"If it's Koizumi Yakumo's handiwork, then maybe it's not with us."

“？”

Qiao Qiao looked at the spring with some confusion.

"Koizumi Yakumo was hired to teach at the University of Tokyo in his later years, but later left his job and went to Inari University, the predecessor of Minejo University, but he died less than a year later."

Izumi explained.

"So he almost never lived here in his later years, and if it was a work during that time, he might not be here."

"It's a possibility."

Qiao Qiao thought.

However, the University of Tokyo and Minejo University are in Tokyo, so there is no way to confirm it at this time

"No, there's a way."

Qiao Qiao thought about it, confirmed the time, and made a call.

"Hey, is that President Ii? Well, I'm on a school trip, and now I'm at the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Museum, huh? Sayoko is fine, it's something else."

He called the third-year student council president, Masaharu Ii, who remained at the school, and asked him to investigate.

"Koizumi Yakumo's paintings at Todai and Minejo Dai? I understand. ”

Masaharu Ii on the phone was not too surprised.

"Qiao San is in Izumo, so don't worry too much about the removal of spirits, and by the way, help me tell Higuchi-san, to enjoy the time between the two."

He instructed on the phone again, and then hung up.

"President Ii?"

Sayoko was not very familiar with the classmates outside of Qiao Qiao, and when she heard this name, she was a little confused.

"It's my most respected student president, and it's worthy of President Jing Yi, as long as you find President Jing Yi, it's not difficult at all."

Qiao Qiao sighed with emotion, and remembered Ii Masaharu's words again.

"By the way, the president asked me to tell you, Sayoko, to enjoy your time together."

Poof

Sayoko's head, like the whistle of a train, steam bubbled out.

"This, that"

Speechless.

Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision swept over the paintings, but found nothing unusual.

After communicating with the spring for a while, Qiao Qiao and Sayoko left the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall with the large army.

Next is free time, since Matsue Castle is next to the memorial hall, so many students choose to go directly to Matsue Castle.

Qiao Qiao and Sayoko came to the alley where they met the monster old woman.

Under a tree with only dead branches, the old woman waited there with a smile on her face.

Qiao Qiao browsed all the photos he had just taken to the other party, and the old woman looked at it very seriously, but finally shook her head.

"None of that."

She said.

But soon he smiled again.

"It's okay, I'm already happy that you can keep your promise to come back to me."

"Can you ask what the painting has to do with you?"

Sayoko couldn't help but ask.

Koizumi Yakumo and weirdness always make people think about it.

Sayoko is no exception.

"It's just a trivial, no big deal."

In the old woman's eyes, memories came flooding up.
