After breakfast, everyone began to seriously discuss where to go today.

During this period, Hoshino interjected as usual: "Today, my family may come over." ”

Shiraishi and the others thought they were going to pick up the cry, but only Keisuke Aoi knew that this was something she had specifically told herself.

He said "oh" to indicate that he understood.

Eventually, Shiraishi and Tsukishima shook their arms and decided to go to the local folk museum in Yuzawa.

Neither Keisuke Aoi nor Hoshino had any opinions.

In order to prevent the Hoshino family from appearing in the middle of the way to disturb the interest, Keisuke Aoi called Yuki and gave it an occult alternative to Hoshino's atmosphere.

"President, you come and write a note written by yourself, just write it, and finally sign it."

"What does this do?" Hoshino asked.

"If Hoshino has some ability to catch Yuki, he can save him from harm."

Hearing about Keisuke Ao's complete plan, Hoshino couldn't bear to let Yuki go out to attract the family's attention for himself.

"Don't worry, this is also a kind of training for Yuki." Keisuke Aoi attaches the note to Yuki's back, making sure that it won't interfere with the activity and puts the cat down.

"In this training, it is forbidden to hurt people, so you can only do your best to hide, and it must conform to human habits, so that the person who tracks it cannot detect the abnormality."

"Meow~?"

In short, the tool cat should play its due role.

Whether it's looking for a crying child or luring away the Hoshino family who came to smell the smell, it's Yuki's fierce loyalty to the dignified Demon King.

Hoshino didn't understand why Keisuke Aoi trained a pet like this, but in the end he didn't say no, just promised Yuki that he would take him to eat the best sashimi in the future.

Yuki immediately became energetic after hearing this, and rushed out directly in the rain.

It was more troublesome for five people to travel together, and in the end, Sawaki Otomo's car was requisitioned, and Chizuru Tsukishima, who also had the attributes of a tool man, was in the driver's seat.

When a female teacher from Tokyo got into the car and found out that it was a manual transmission, she complained for a while.

This time, the co-pilot sat on Shiraishi.

The two adult women sat upright like the drivers in the cockpit of the train, and there was a feeling that they were shouldering the safety of the three "minors" in the rear compartment.

In the rear compartment, Keisuke Aoi sat on the right, Shiraishi in front, Hoshino sat on the left, and Cryko was in the middle, swaying left and right, and reversed towards the two as he turned.

Cry seems to have taken this as some kind of game, and has a lot of fun.

The disc player was playing the neon rock of the 90s, guitars, drums, and a depressed and lilting singing voice flowing from the stereo, and the lead singer was singing:

When he sang about Mr. Driver, Shiraishi sang loudly and got up, and turned his head to Tsukishima and stretched out his hand, making a gesture to interview her.

"Didn't I get you on board, you idiot!" Tsukishima also cooperated with her in acting.

The wipers in the front window swept away the rainwater one by one, and it seemed that it was also infected by the happy atmosphere in the car, and it fell to the ground and splashed cheerfully.

The sobble and hummed, so that Hoshino couldn't refuse to participate in this stupid link.

Keisuke Aoi listened quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and such a smile made people want to indulge in it.

Even Hoshino subconsciously avoided his face.

After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at the Folklore Museum.

Yuzawa's biggest signature is not the Fuji Music Festival video over the years, but Yasunari Kawabata's "Snow Country".

Before you even enter, you can see the high concentration of "Snow Country" elements around you.

In addition to the local folklore of Yuzawa, there are also many characteristics of the surrounding area that have been incorporated to enrich the collection.

Keisuke Aoi wandered aimlessly around the museum, and when he came across something he was interested in, he stopped to look at the introduction of the exhibition board.

The group scattered, Hoshino with the weeping, and Shiraishi alone to defend his best friend Tsukishima.

The Demon King walked around by himself, finished the exhibition hall early, and finally chose to go to a café next to him, ordered a cappuccino in the antique shop, and waited for the others to finish.

The rain outside the window was gradually subduing, and although it was still dark, the rain was already showing signs of stopping.

Aokeisuke was silent, quietly drinking coffee.

Rain does not necessarily usher in sunny weather, just like bad luck, often one after another.

……

"Fujiko, I'm going back."

"What?"

"The rain is stopping."

Cryko let go of Hoshino's hand and carefully opened her umbrella: "Cryo is going back." ”

Hoshino was stunned, looking at the calm face of the weeping, and suddenly gave birth to infinite reluctance.

At the same time, she was sad for the calm of the crying child.

Aokeisuke was right, in the final analysis, they were just meteors flashing in the life of the weeping son, and they didn't leave any mark on this blank paper.

Cryoko's body slowly dissipated in the air, and at the end, she and Hoshino waved goodbye.

"Let's play together next time, Fujiko."

"...... next time?"

Cryo didn't answer which time Hoshino would be next, and if there would really be a next time.

But if it weren't for Keisuke Ao, how would she meet Cryko again?

She walked to the window of the museum, the outside world was still dark, but the rain really stopped.

It didn't take long for Yazakura Tetsu to call her too.

"Hey, sister!"

He lowered his voice and said, "You better stop it quickly, this time my father came over in person." ”

No wonder......

Hoshino had expected that her original instruction was to keep the rain going, but now that the rain has stopped, it naturally means that someone in the Hoshino family has stopped her order.

It's just that she didn't expect the person who came to be her "beloved" father.

"You don't have to worry about it, just take care of your injuries."

"Sister!"

“……”

"Anyway, my father invited someone from the Sando Dojo to Yuzawa, and it seems that I talked to the Shantong Sword Saint about something, sister, you let your friend ...... Be careful. ”

Tetsuya Yasakura also stopped advising and had to secretly tell Hoshino the latest information.

"I'll help you ask who it is later, several disciples of the Mountain Child Sword Saint are very powerful, it's best not to conflict with them."

"Got it."

Hoshino took a light breath and felt a heavy pressure.

All of this is due to the fact that she used the power of the Hoshino family for the sake of Cryoko.

Leaving the Hoshino family, she has nothing and nothing to do.

But her abilities are extremely important to the Hoshino family.

That's why the head of the Hoshino family came to Yuzawa in person.

She hung up the phone, covering her face with her hands, not knowing what to do while feeling exhausted from the inside out.

Is it time for this farce to come to an end?

"What's wrong, President? Are you crying? ”

Suddenly, an annoying voice sounded behind her.

Undoubtedly, it was Keisuke Ao's voice.

His voice grew closer, finally leaning into Hoshino's ear, his lips even touching her cold hair.

Keisuke Aoi forcibly broke into Hoshino's lonely world, and maliciously chuckled, depriving Hoshino of the qualifications to fall.

"People who walk in pain often lose their minds when they encounter hope.

And when hope is dashed, the usual pain becomes more unbearable and painful.

You don't have any ability to resist temptation, so you shouldn't get too close to the weeping son.

Neither should the weeping go near you.

The price of losing your mind, the result of which is that all your fantasies are contrary to reality and become a dagger to hurt yourself.

Bloody, how pitiful.

President—"

His tone was seductive and compassionate, and there was indescribable joy in his heart, and he said, "At such a moment, why don't you try to make a wish to me, a member of the P Society?"

You only need to pay the price...... I will grant your wish. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
