Chapter 13, Diary

But Lancelot's wish was frustrated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause of the mysterious man, after following him to the densely populated city center, he quietly left, probably for fear of being discovered.

"......" But Lancelot stopped and wanted to do a counter-stalk. Now he could still feel the breath of that person, and he was confident that the mysterious person would definitely not be able to find him, but ...... Sure enough, forget it, even if you find out where he lived, what would you do? Rush in to settle accounts with him and say why did you follow him? Then why didn't you do it earlier?

"Now it's imperative to buy something and go back to dinner!" Lancelot nodded graciously, and then turned into the middle of nowhere.

......

A day of peace, in contrast to Lancelot, who had been in a daze for a day.

After wandering around the garden and the house several times, his eyes fell on the TV. Pick up the remote control and press a few buttons casually, and the TV will turn on, and it seems that the news is broadcasting inside, saying something that I don't understand. Not interested, so he threw the TV aside, planning to go to the third floor, where he had never been. Every day Yukino would go to the third floor after eating, and he didn't know what he was doing, and Lancelot naturally didn't have the slightest interest. But today is really boring, so it's better to go up and take a look......

A study.

"What, it's just a study......" He took a book from the bookcase in the back row and flipped through it at random, he glanced at it roughly, and sure enough, he still couldn't understand what was written in it. But this bookcase is really big, and there are hundreds of books on it. A desk sits in the middle, with tools like a pen holder, ruler, eraser, and a computer. Lancelot tried to get off the computer, but found that this computer was actually a password!

"But why is there a door here...... In front of the left side of the study, there is a wooden door. When Lancelot gripped the doorknob, he thought the door must be locked too.

"Click. ”

The door opened.

"Isn't it locked......" Cautiously pushing open the door, he looked inside. There are some waste cardboard boxes inside, as well as some old chairs, newspapers, and bottles and cans. Is this a utility room? No wonder the door is not locked, why is the utility room on the third floor? Shouldn't it be placed on the first floor? Maybe it's just my habitual thinking......

Slowly stepping into the room, Lancelot looked around, but found nothing. There was nothing in the waste cardboard box, and the worn-out chairs and tables were thrown in a corner, all of which were damaged and unusable. Newspapers were stacked and bundled together, neatly arranged. There were a lot of empty bottles on the floor, not plastic bottles, of course, but some tin cans and something like that, with "motor oil" and something written on them. Putting it back in its original position, Lancelot was about to leave here when he suddenly tripped over a box and fell to the ground.

"Smack!"

"Click!" Immediately after, one of the walls of the room opened, revealing a small opening with a notebook inside. It seems that the fall that Lancelot fell just now also triggered a secret mechanism?

"What is this...... Diary?" Maybe it's been sitting for a while, and the cover of the notebook is covered in dust. Gently brushing away the covered dust, I saw a few words written on it a little crookedly: "Sakuraba Yukino". Is this Yukino's stuff? Why is it in such a place?

Turning the first page, Lancelot discovers that it is indeed Yukino's diary, but it is not marked with the year, only the date. Since the characters are distorted, I guess this was written when she was a child......

"April 16th. Today, I was reprimanded by the teacher, saying that I was too naughty to listen to the class...... I've heard that!"

The first diary entry is this, starting on April 16th. The daily diary is generally just a few sentences, one piece of paper can write a week's experience, and one page is half a month. Lancelot flipped through it quickly, and time was constantly passing, and the span was quite large. Since there is no note of the year, it is only possible to infer how many years have passed by the date.

"On August 5th, today, my mother took me to the amusement park, and there were so many people my age in it!

"On December 31st, Dad came back, brought a lot of gifts, and bought me my favorite rabbit doll, my favorite Dad!"

"On March 21st, I hate going to school, and every day I have to be scolded by the teacher saying that you are so unmotivated, but I really haven't done anything bad!

"On May 9th, I threw the boy who kept complaining to the teacher into the well, this is the first time I have done such a thing, will I be caught and scolded by the teacher......?

"On June 27, they found the boy, but they didn't seem to find my head, and Mom and Dad told me to be careful, which was funny. ”

"......" Lancelot felt a little tingling in his scalp, and the direction of the diary was getting more and more wrong. And as the schedule accelerated, he found that more critical areas were yet to come.

"On October 1st, there was news of a demon in the village recently, and the adults told us not to go to school and stay at home, but it's boring to stay at home!"

"On November 1st, it seems that the adults are hiding something from us, many acquaintances are gone, what happened?"

"On December 18th, Mom and Dad came back every day with their faces tense and their hands stained with red things, and they refused to say what happened to them, and they hated the feeling of being kept in the dark. ”

"On January 1st, today is New Year's Day, but I haven't received anything. Looking out the window, there were a lot of red things on the road, several houses had collapsed, and I saw a black creature passing by, so big!"

"On January 9, the black creature broke in and impaled Mom. Dad wanted to leave with him, but ...... Mom didn't move, just lying in front of her and didn't move, while Dad was thinking about taking himself away without taking Mom. What the hell is going on, and why is it happening like this...... Why ......"

The diary came to an abrupt end here, spanning nearly two years. On the last page, there are a few drops of dried blood, and the diary behind it seems to have been torn off a few pages. What exactly happened, there is no way to know......
