At dusk, because the light in the mountains was already low, all the searchers in Ozawa Village had withdrawn for safety.

After a hard day's work, the villagers went home to rest and eat, and some information about Shiichiro Kurosawa's disappearance spread along with it.

The people of Ozawa Village rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and many of them are powerful hunters, and they are very familiar with the terrain around the village, so it stands to reason that there should be no traces of large animal activity in the vicinity.

But what is extremely strange is that they searched all day and failed to find the slightest clue about Shiichiro Kurosawa!

So much so that there is no way to judge whether it is dead or alive.

Ozawa's family of five sat down at a restaurant to eat, and they were also discussing the issue.

The village head, Ozawa Zongzheng, didn't care about the hot mouth, and ate quickly: "Later, I will call the man to continue to enter the mountain, and you don't want to go to Tuoren, and have a good rest at night." ”

"Got it." Takuto Ozawa agreed.

"And give me a little bit of a break for the next two days! Don't trouble the Kurosawa family again! ”

"I'm full." Takuto Ozawa put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard this, got up and left directly.

"Bastard!"

Takuto Ozawa turned a deaf ear to his father's scolding, went upstairs and took something I don't know what to do.

"What about smoke? Did you run out in the afternoon? ”

Hearing this, Sonoko Ozawa looked at Hoshino worriedly, she came back early in the afternoon, and Hoshino hadn't returned home at that time.

"No, she's been resting in the room." Megumi Ozawa complained, "Don't talk about it when you eat, the children can't stand you." ”

"It's just that you're too pampered to let Tuoren develop this kind of problem."

"If I had such a great ability, I would really win glory for the Ozawa family!" Megumi Ozawa scolded, "Be careful when you go in and out of the mountains at night, or ...... Look for Lake Toyotsu. ”

"What do you mean?" Somasa Ozawa glanced at her.

"The people in the village said that the situation was very strange, and I wondered if I would be able to find clues over there."

Ozawa Somasa sighed, and then lowered his voice: "The old god lord is more auspicious this time, and I'm afraid that there will be a big problem in the village, so you all don't want to get involved." ”

"Got it."

"And the matter of Kurosawa Shin, I'll talk about it later."

After the village chief hurriedly explained his family affairs, he hurried to finish dinner and went to the village to organize a search and rescue.

Only the stronger and younger men of the village, each armed with a torch and a lamp, were the only ones who traveled at night, and if they couldn't find them, they might have to go to the police station tomorrow to report the crime.

But the neon police in this era have no credibility at all, they are more incompetent and shameless than politicians, and ordinary disappearances are unlikely to attract enough attention, and ultimately it is up to the village itself.

The god Toyotsu brought a good harvest to Ozawa Village, but also brought them isolation, and they often have a natural suspicion of the outside world, which is also a common feature in remote villages many times.

From Ozawa's standpoint, he didn't want this matter to be stabbed to the outside world.

In particular, Shiichiro Kurosawa is also the deity of Toyotsu Shrine.

"Okay, hurry up and eat in the garden, the bath water has been put for you, soak in it and rest early in the evening."

Megumi Ozawa thought about things for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he glanced at Hoshino before urging the garden not to grind.

"Smoke, take a bath with your sister after a long absence?"

“…… No. ”

"Smoked—"

"I washed it in the afternoon."

"How about sleeping with my sister that night?"

"Don't."

Hoshino couldn't imagine herself lying in the arms of the middle-aged Sonoko Ozawa, and she refused to be so close to others.

"Sister, I've figured it out, I don't really like Kurosawa." She calmly resisted Sonoko Ozawa's enthusiasm, "I just mistook appreciation for his kindness into liking." ”

"Huh? Is that so? ”

"Garden, hurry up and eat!"

"Yes~"

As night fell, the village of Ozawa gradually became quiet, and in the distant mountains and forests, from time to time, fires emerged from the shadows of the trees, and the distant sound of harmony could be faintly heard.

Hoshino sat by the window of his room, occasionally looking at the mountains, and most of the time looking at the starry sky that was clean more than twenty years ago.

The starry sky in the mountains was so beautiful that she was immersed in it.

Keisuke Ao's words pulled her back to reality, Hoshino subconsciously looked at the street lamp at the intersection, and half a minute later, Takuto Ozawa's figure really appeared in the light.

He seemed to be in a good mood now, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, where did you come from?"

Takuto Ozawa looked up sharply at the sound, because Hoshino didn't turn on the light in the room, so he didn't notice her at first.

The two siblings, one standing in the doorway and the other on the second-floor windowsill, glanced at each other in the dim light.

Takuto Ozawa found that he couldn't understand this sister of his own, and this change made him a little uneasy, but it also dispelled his worries during the day-

Ozawa apparently didn't expose his thoughts.

Either way, this conclusion made his heart feel much lighter.

"I went to visit your cousin, Shunsuke Ozawa."

Takuto Ozawa smiled at Hoshino and walked into the entrance to take a shower.

Shunsuke Ozawa?

Hoshino Fujiko was thoughtful, and since Keisuke Aoi specially reminded him, he was a key person.

“……”

"What did he do when he came to visit you?"

"Heh......"

Hoshino quietly pulled his hair back, showing no sympathy for what happened to Keisuke Aoi.

After a few moments, there was a knock on her door.

"Kaoru-chan, are you sleeping?" The soft voice of her mother, Megumi Ozawa, reached her ears.

"Not yet."

"I'm in."

Megumi Ozawa pushed the door in, holding a pillow in her arms.

She was about to say something to get herself into the room in harmony, but she suddenly noticed Hoshino in front of the window.

Obviously, it looks like her youngest daughter, but the two are indeed completely different, and she just noticed the difference at a glance.

The girl's eyes were lowered, her long eyelashes seemed to soak into the night, and the arc light of the street lamp fell on the side of her face, making it difficult to leave a little warmth.

The cold face is like the moonlight, and this look is really pitiful.

Hoshino looked back at her, not noticing Megumi Ozawa's mental activity at this time, and just politely asked what was going on.

"Nothing, just ......"

Megumi Ozawa shook the pillow and said gently, "I want to talk to you more." ”

"If you have something to say, please say it tomorrow!"

Hoshino refused without hesitation, but Megumi Ozawa just changed the subject: "By the way, I don't seem to know your name yet?" ”

"Just call me Hoshino."

"Hoshino?"

Megumi Ozawa smiled, walked to the window, and looked at the galaxy in the sky.

That beauty is falling on her side.

"Miss Hoshino, how old are you this year?"

"It's a little bigger than Ozawa."

……

The moon drifts lonely from east to west, casting an equal and cold moonlight on the world.

After a long night, Hoshino finally failed to resist Megumi Ozawa's watery gentleness and was forced to agree to Megumi Ozawa staying.

There is the truth about Mt. Osawa, Hoshino did not tell Megumi Ozawa all of it, but for this mother, it is shocking enough.

At this time, the only consolation in her heart was that Ozawa Sonoko survived in the end.

"Please tell me a little bit more about the garden."

This is the only request under the quilt.

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