Chapter 22: Mykonos Labyrinth Suite
The waves crash against the beach, and the sea breeze blows on the shore.
Shuttling through the quiet alleys, on both sides are unique style houses, white as white as snow, brightly colored doors, windows, balconies, even more exotic at night.
Kasumi Aige and Sanzenin Nagi were ahead of the curve more than ten meters ahead, and they were talking and laughing with each other. Mu Xiu and Ayasaki Sa were behind and distanced themselves from the ladies.
The dim lights shone ahead, but because of the obscuration of the buildings, the alley seemed a little dark, and strange shadows overlapped.
"Thank you so much today, classmate Mu Xiu, if it weren't for you, maybe the eldest lady would have encountered a lot of trouble......"
The debt housekeeper was dressed in casual casual clothes, looked at someone next to him who was bowing his head and pondering, scratched his cheek and said as if he was a little ashamed.
"As the eldest lady's housekeeper, I was really derelict in my duty today."
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, and besides, if I'm not playing on this island, I'll just take care of the three thousand students by the way." Mu Xiu looked indifferent, and didn't seem to care much about this matter.
"But even so, I still need to thank you." The debt butler stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile.
"Hmm." Mu Xiu nodded lightly, and then didn't say anything more.
“……”
“……”
As if there was really no common topic, the awkward conversation between the two of them naturally stopped, and silence and silence resumed for a while, leaving only the laughter of the two girls in front of them.
Having said that, Xia Aige's wrist is really superb.
Even the squatting queen of the family, Sanzenin Nagi, can speak freely when facing her, and become talking and laughing, which is simply an incredible miracle - of course, this is not to say that the two are really good enough to be friends.
It's just that Xia Aige is cleverly guiding the topic and deliberately creating such an illusion, to put it bluntly, it is to do what he likes and go with the flow......
Well, it's probably the difference between pretending to be stupid and being really stupid.
However, if she is in control, Mu Xiu feels that the next development will probably be quite smooth, provided that this black-bellied vice president does not distinguish between enemies and enemies, and cannot see the situation clearly.
……
……
About another ten minutes passed.
"That, Mu Xiu?"
Seeing that the outline of the villa of the Three Thousand Courtyard family had already appeared at the end of the line of sight in front of him, for some reason after hesitating for a while, Ayasaki Sa couldn't help but call.
"What's the matter?"
"Then again, I feel like I'm having an incredible experience today, maybe I'm daydreaming...... However, I don't understand why I had to go through this. ”
The debtor housekeeper looked up at the starry sky in the sky with a complicated face, and sighed-
At noon, he was walking around with Sanzenin Nagi, and on the way, the latter's hat was blown away by the sea breeze, and he wanted to pick it up......
Then I went back ten years ago, and it was also on this Mykonos Island that I met the young Sanzenin Nagi.
Shot by the mafia, he protects the eldest lady and escapes, and then takes the eldest lady on a date...... This series of unfoldings followed, and he did not return until about eight o'clock in the evening, and suddenly appeared on that beach.
Looking back on it now, it still feels like a daydream.
But he did not reject such a thing, because according to the eldest lady, that is, someone must have used the power of the stars, and it was a wish made by people who often looked at the starry sky-
Although it is strange to say this, the debtor butler thinks he can understand, because he experienced something of a similar nature during the Shimoda Onsen incident not long ago. The woman who appeared in her dream at that time seemed to be the eldest lady when she grew up......
That's the eldest lady's mother, Sanqianin Zizi.
If it was she who entrusted the eldest lady to herself, then Ayasaki Sa felt that she seemed to accept such a thing easily. No matter what wishes she makes for the stars, what really matters is her own thoughts and wishes.
Even if it transcends time and space, it must be protected to the end.
However, there are some things that are of great concern to debt stewards. It was on this island ten years ago that he also met the boy next to him.
"I don't understand it now, but I'll understand it sooner or later, what's the point of being entangled like this." Mu Xiu glanced at the face of the debtor butler and said with a smile.
“……”
“……”
"That, Mu Xiu, you already knew me from the beginning, right?" If the debt steward had a little doubt and uncertainty before, then it is basically confirmed now.
I went back to the past ten years ago, and I met with Mu Xiu.
So ten years later, it doesn't seem that the other party recognizes him, and it doesn't seem to be an incomprehensible thing, but he doesn't understand the reason until now - no wonder he always feels that Mu Xiu seems to know him quite well.
Even during the time when he had just known him, he had already shown some strange one-sided familiarity with himself, and it turned out that it was for such a reason.
"That's right, we already knew each other from the beginning." Mu Xiu nodded and said with a serious face.
"Yes, sure enough......" Ayasaki sassed, as if she had finally confirmed something.
After arriving at the villa of the Three Thousand Courtyards, Mu Xiu and Xia Aige were warmly welcomed by Miss Maria, and they also saw that the stupid trio was also here, and they looked as if they had made it their home.
- Indecently crossed Erlang's legs, looked at comic books, and pressed the TV remote control impolitely, making a sound that didn't look like the eldest lady's giggling at all......
Mu Xiu and the others hadn't even fully entered the room before they first heard such a noisy noise coming from the hall inside:
"Hahaha, how, how is it possible...... It's a little hilarious! ”
"No, listen to me, listen to me, I know something even funnier about Hayashi (pronunciation of Ayasaki's name...... Hahaha, hahahaha...... It's, it's ...... Hahaha......"
Is this a performance track – "Song of the Neurotic"?
Mu Xiu frowned and looked at the three stupid people in the hall holding their stomachs, laughing so much that they couldn't help but squat down, and even rolled on the ground.
As for Miss Maria, who was dressed as a maid on the side, even the smile on her face seemed to have frozen.
"Oh! Nagi-chan, you're back! ”
"Wait, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Hey, hey! Listen to me, listen to me, I still know one more about Ha Ya's humiliating deeds - hey, listen to me, it's funny and funny, okay! ”
Seeing a group of people coming in through the door, the stupid trio immediately got up from the ground, laughed and tidied up their clothes, and then rushed up in a swarm, gossiping to welcome.
But there seems to be something strange mixed in with it.
“……”
“……”
A small bruise on the forehead of the debtor butler over there was already beating incessantly, and although he still maintained a rather competent false smile on his face, this expression was undoubtedly full of cracks.
When he wasn't here before, I don't know how long these three guys had been orchestrating him!
No, that's not the point! Forget about arranging others behind his back, now that he has returned, does he still have to continue to talk about those things in front of himself?
I'm right in front of me, do you want to keep talking?
You three idiots don't want to be so consistent?!
Mu Xiu couldn't help but sigh, the stupid man is indeed the most powerful creature in the world, although it is not to the level of "pulling the opponent's IQ to a level, and then defeating him with rich experience".
However, he still seriously suspects that the three people of Izumi Segawa, Miki Hanarishi and Risa Asakaze seem to have the aura of the legendary descending.
If you try to use the logic and common sense of normal people to confront these three people, the final result is that you lose your reason and patience, and even lose confidence and begin to doubt life.
Shaking his head, he ignored the mess that seemed to be arguing over there, and went straight to Miss Maria.
You don't need any other tricks, just ask the other party to let you see the treasure house inside this villa. If it was really a treasure trove, such a request would be abrupt, but it was a treasure trove of the past.
Since the generation of Sanzenin Zizi, the Sanzenin family has no longer needed such facilities.
Although it still houses a lot of very valuable things, and on the whole it is not much worse than some famous museums, but at least it is not a family place that is not accessible to idlers.
Now, whether it's Sanzenin Nagi or Miss Maria, they just think it's a warehouse and don't care much.
Therefore, although the head maid of the Three Thousand Courtyard felt a little incomprehensible to such a request, she still readily agreed, and asked the debtor housekeeper to take Mu Xiu to visit the treasure house.
……
……
"Fortunately, Aige-san came with me, otherwise I think it would be very troublesome to deal with those three stupid people......"
"Yes, Segawa-san, they are really ...... Alas! ”
Stopping in front of the dark corridor, Mu Xiu and the debtor butler raised their heads to look at the gate at the end of the corridor that appeared not far ahead, which was three meters high.
The gate is a double-leaf design, made of heavy hardwood, and the surface is carved with many magnificent reliefs, which seem to be the work of famous artists. Elegant and exquisite, regular and harmonious, expressive and beautiful, it is a strong style and charm of ancient Greece.
"Is that a treasure trove?"
"This is where it should be...... I'm sorry, Mu Xiu, it's my first time here, so I don't know too much. ”
Ayasaki shook her head, then took out two flashlights.
"However, because it is an old room and has been idle for many years, the electrical circuitry and lighting have not kept up with the overall design of the villa...... So Miss Maria asked me to bring a flashlight. ”
"Thank you, Miss Maria, for your thoughtfulness."
Mu Xiu quietly took a flashlight, didn't say anything unnecessary, just asked, "Then again, what time is it now?" ”
"Wait for me to see...... Well, it's nine minutes before nine o'clock. ”
"yes, then hurry up, I hope we can figure that out before they wake up." The young man nodded slightly with the same expression, and then took the lead in walking forward.
Hey, does Mu Xiu have a clear goal? The debt steward tilted his head behind him, and a question mark slowly rose above his head.
With a "squeak", the quaint and textured door was pushed open, and the heavy historical atmosphere came to the face-
The interior space is like a huge palace, surrounded by a large number of collections, most of which are retro and exquisite, and the light of the flashlight shows the blur of time, which looks mysterious and seductive.
After a cursory glance, Mu Xiu simply locked onto his target, and then walked in a certain direction.
Ayasaki didn't know why, but he still followed, and looked around a little nervously, he always felt a little bad, but he didn't know where those ominous aura came from.
It wasn't until Mu Xiu avoided all the collections as if he were in his own home, pinpointed the shortest route, and then opened a dusty trapdoor in the corner of the room.
Below it seems to be a space leading to a basement or something, but the passage is blocked.
Only there is a very conspicuous red button in the very center, and there is a yellowed piece of paper next to it, the handwriting on it is already very blurred, but it can barely be seen-
"Don't press Oh (heart)"
There is also a smiling face painted on the back.
“……”
“……”
"Why do I think it's just trying to get someone to press it down?" Ayasaki's head is full of black lines.
