"Who's knocking on the door outside?"

Put on her shoes and stand at the entrance, fortunately, Haruhi has not rushed home, she did not open the door rashly, but vigilantly held the demon subduing arrow that was mostly useless for eggs and even less for birds, and raised her voice to ask the person or non-person who knocked on the antique door outside.

On a sunny day, the frosted glass embedded in the sliding door would at least reflect a vague figure, but now it was not only dark outside, but it was also foggy, and the only shadows on the door were the shadows of Kasuga and the others illuminated by the lights behind them.

"Is there anyone out there? I'll open the door when there's no one! ”

“……”

There was a deathly silence outside the door, even if Haruhi asked loudly again, but you shouldn't open the door rashly when no one answers, right?

"Hula......"

Before Ji Feng could complain, Kasuga had already quickly unplugged the latch on the door and opened the door entirely, but fortunately there was nothing but a dense fog like cotton - neither people nor ghosts.

"Hmph...... Gone. ”

Haruhi didn't seem surprised by the empty sight outside the door, but even Ji Feng couldn't be sure if she was deflated at the moment because of someone pretending to be a ghost, or because of a ghost who was pretending to be a ghost.

Because there were no footprints left on the ground outside the door, Haruhi originally wanted to grab the arrow and chase it out to find the guy who knocked on the door just now to see if he was a human or a ghost, but this time Ji Feng grabbed her to death, and Kasuga's own attitude was actually not so resolute, so he took advantage of the slope to watch Ji Feng re-lock the sliding door.

Maybe Kasuga also relied on intuition to guess something, so instead of finding out the root cause and finally extinguishing this mystery with his own hands, it is better to keep this mystery like this. At least when everyone recalls this experience in the future, they may be able to appreciate the cute expression of Shijiuru's heart palpitations again.

"Ding-dong...... Dingdong ......"

Soon after the SOS group returned to the room, the electronic doorbell rang near the entrance. Although the sound proved that it was a human and not a ghost standing outside the door, Haruhi was the first to rush out of the house, but she didn't go back to get her demon-slaying arrow.

Everyone came to the entrance again, and the proprietress had just come out of the counter at the door, and Kasuga opened the door directly for her. Standing outside the door were the hotel's head chef, second chef, chef apprentice, waiter foreman, waiter, maybe because of the fog, they came a little late today.

"Why are you here? Doesn't foggy weather say you can't go out? Did you see anything strange on the way here? Do you hear me shouting? ”

"Huh? What, what? ”

Before the waiters in the hotel could cross the threshold, the waiters asked several questions like cannons, asking the bearded chef who was walking in the front one by one. When the chef entered the hallway, he first looked at the counter, and when he saw the proprietress who had opened the door early at this time of day, he said loudly as if he had just remembered something:

"Oooh oh...... What kind of ghost of wise Mitsuhide you say?

Until my grandmother's generation, the village seemed to be superstitious about that legend, but that was only because it was possible to get lost or encounter danger in the mountains on foggy days, and there were wolves in the mountains of Japan in the past.

In addition, there are monkeys in the mountains, and sometimes the monkeys will come to the hot springs like dogs, and some of the monkeys may be naughty, and when they pass someone's house, they knock on the door like a human being, and maybe they also take away something that is placed outside, so there is a legend that the ghost of the samurai knocks on the door of the house on a foggy day.

Ha ha...... Speaking of which, when I was young, although my friends and I were afraid of this legend, the more adults wouldn't let us out, the more we had to sneak out to play. In order to test our courage, we used to go into the mountains in the fog to find those ghosts, but we only dared to wander around the outermost places, and the dangers in the mountains are much more dangerous than you city kids can imagine.

Well...... On several occasions, we wore hats and hoes and knocked on doors in the village posing as ghosts, but because we were frightened, the girls in the village were beaten by my father.

Wowhaha...... It's all because of the mistakes made by young people. ”

When talking about the legend of the samurai ghost, the bearded chef is not afraid at all, but looks excited. However, judging from his own confession, he was probably also a bear child like Haruhi who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but fortunately, there were no real ghosts in this world, and he did not encounter any danger because the fog affected the range of vision.

"Are the guests going out for a run this morning? I advise you not to go, it's easy to get out of danger in foggy days - at least it's easy to stumble if you're not familiar with the nearby roads.

If you go to the mountains to shoot ghosts or something, it is even worse, the fog is so big today that it may not disperse even at noon, and the fog will be heavy in the spring, and then it will rain, and the rain will be too strong that the road out of the mountain will be washed away by mudslides. If you really get lost in the mountains, then you may really be in trouble, and it will be too late for us to send someone to rescue you. ”

Seeing that all the members of the SOS group gathered here in the entrance were already fully dressed, the bearded chef naturally thought that they were going out for morning exercises, and they would not be easily interrupted even if it was windy and rainy. But in fact, Kasuga hadn't really mentioned going out for a run today, maybe she had already considered the danger that Chef Bearded was talking about, or maybe her mind was all focused on the ghost of Akechi Mitsuhide or someone else.

"Thanks, we'll stay in the hotel until the fog clears. But uncle, you really didn't see anything, didn't you hear anything? Anyone else or a monkey will do the same. ”

"It's impossible for monkeys, monkeys don't have to get up so early as we do.

We didn't see people's words, even if someone had a voice, you can't see or hear such a big fog from a distance of more than ten meters. However, there may also be people passing by to pick vegetables at this time...... In short, don't think about it, no matter what happens, it must be a ghost caused by a living thing, how can there be a ghost in this world. ”

As a mature adult, Chef Bearded did not waver in denying the existence of all supernatural phenomena in the world, and he did not know if he would insist that the samurai ghosts in their village could never exist when he learned the true identity of these cosmic people, future people, otherworldly people, superpowers, and a god in front of him.

After all the staff at the inn came in, Kasuga didn't mention anything about the samurai ghosts, but happily played various indoor games with everyone. However, the other members of the SOS team all knew very well that there was no way that guy would be persuaded like this, otherwise everyone would not have to be as tired as they are now.
