34. Is it okay to only have black tea
"Almost hit."
Sake brewing involves the blind spot of the moon, and she thought it was just an ordinary bottle of cherry blossom sake. It smells no different from other sake, except for a little more petal fragrance.
"If you drink this thing, I guess you won't be able to do without this weird story."
Yue pressed the service bell, called the waiter who delivered the food, and put the medicinal wine on the tray as it was. The waiter's expression was different, as if he had noticed something unreasonable.
"Give us a regular cup of tea."
"Boss, don't you ask us to prepare medicinal wine every time we eat? It is said that he wants to be blessed as soon as possible and give birth to a healthy little witch......"
"We suddenly changed our minds and decided to think about it later. The hotel is too busy to take care of the children. ”
Rychette casually finds a classic excuse to prevaricate the past. The waiter was not easy to refuse, but his expression was still a little embarrassed.
"Is it okay to only have black tea? The rest of the tea leaves have run out, and the next batch will not arrive until the end of the priestess. ”
"It doesn't matter, just soak it and serve it up, and get another bucket of ice cubes."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Waiting for the waiter to leave, Yue used chopsticks to pluck the dishes on the plate, feeling a little more vigilant. Food is the easiest thing to do with your hands and feet, although the bottle of wine is not poisoned, thinking that it was only drunk when it was doing that kind of thing, Yue felt a chill and fear in his heart.
In terms of combining with other witches, her style is very conservative, rejecting all combinations that have no emotional basis and the nature of interests, and will not go to places like nightclubs and bars to look for prey, nor do you want to become the prey of others.
"Have these dishes been drugged?"
"No, I can't smell the extra drugs. Before eating, I also checked it with detection magic, and the food did not have any negative effects on the body. ”
Tortured by demonic training and a motorized broomstick, Rydge is like a hard-working witch who is diligent in working with her subjects to discuss the great plan for the birth and continuation of the witch race.
The food on the table whetted her appetite, and she drained three bowls in a row. Anyway, witches don't get fat, and they don't have to worry about accumulating fat no matter how they make them.
"Then I'll be relieved."
With a relieved expression, Moon continued to pick up the dishes.
I had dinner with black tea that didn't have a lethargy function, and then followed by a similar step. Take a walk in the garden of the hot spring inn to observe if there is any abnormality around you, and then take a bath when the burden on your stomach is reduced.
Taking a shower just after eating will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can easily cause fainting or fainting.
The witch's physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, but she also has to follow some basic laws of the human body to live. In his previous life, his chaotic life and rest led to various physical problems, and Ruiji made up his mind to be a healthy person this time, so he took the moon for a walk with him.
Accumulating food is not conducive to thinking, and Yue reluctantly agreed.
The terrain of the hot spring inn is more than ten meters higher than the square in front of the town, and you can stand at the entrance and look down at the sakadochi. The perimeter of the square is brightly lit, and the townspeople of Asahina Town have the posture of staying awake all night to build a palace and a statue for the goddess of the mountain.
The statue of the deity is carved from the mountain stone near the square. The townspeople were obsessed with the festival, the sound of drums and gongs, the sound of trumpets, the sound of chanting, the ethereal singing, the noise of carving stones...... Countless chaotic notes intertwined, making the night noisy, and the sound of the wind in the courtyard seemed clearer.
Floating above Asahina Shrine are dozens of small floating platforms made of earth and stone, on which wrist-thick hemp rope is tied, and a banner more than ten meters long is hung below, and on top are slogans and posters of the goddess festival, as well as some slogans welcoming foreign tourists.
There are several large floating platforms near the shrine with shrine witches practicing dance and witches who do not hold shrine maiden duties. The town's commercial streets are more lively than during the day, and the distant shouting and selling sound is mixed with the evening breeze and reaches Ruiji's ears.
Such a grand festival only made her feel frightened. This spectacle is based on the innocent and tragic deaths of many young girls, and for more than 400 years, the number of people who have been buried as sacrifices will not be less than 100.
No matter how lively it was outside, Ruiji did not step out of the door of the hot spring inn.
Mrs. Yoshino, who runs a grocery store, also reminded them that from this evening onwards, no matter what happens after 10 o'clock, they should not leave their bedrooms in the main building of the hot spring inn, and do not go to the hall.
"We still have two hours to take a bath, do you want to go now?" You've tossed me this afternoon to the point that my back hurts, and now my legs are almost unsteady. ”
Ruiji looked at the floor clock in the lobby, and the mechanism in the lower right corner showed the number 52, and the time was exactly 8 p.m.
"Asakura told me just now that there are a lot of guests bathing tonight, and we can only change to a smaller hot spring. Unless you really want to soak with your guests. ”
The girl's tone and expression were very uncomfortable, but she had to pay attention to it. On the way to the hot spring pool, Tsuki remembers an urban weird tale that he heard from someone else.
"At the Atami Hot Springs Wellness Center on the Izu Peninsula, witches and young witches of unknown origin who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night bathed and had a great conversation, and they even performed the necessary rituals in advance in the hot spring pool before praying to the Tree of Origin. The next day, the witch's companions found out that she hadn't returned all night, and searched everywhere to no avail, thinking that she had returned to Tokyo first, so they didn't pay much attention. ”
"What happened?"
Ritch pretends not to guess the ending.
A week later, in the middle of the night, while the other guests were bathing, they found a stripped corpse floating in the water, emitting a foul smell, and after an investigation by the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, it was determined that the body was the missing traveler's witch. So, do you want to take a bath with a bunch of weird talk? ”
"No, even if you don't tell a story to scare me, I won't go. Anyone who has watched American dramas and American horror movies knows that dying is the best way to send themselves to a dead end, and countless witches have proved that magic is not an iron ticket to avoid death, and it is better not to be alone, and not to test your courage alone in a strange place. ”
With more than 20 years of life experience in her previous life, Ruiji knows what to do and what not to do.
"Okay."
The month was slightly disappointed.
I thought I could see the black-haired witch's shocked expression, and I was looking forward to it, but I didn't expect the other party to be afraid at all. A normal witch should at least react a little and let out a few exclamations.
Since you can't see the expression of fear, you can only enjoy the beautiful scenery that automatically breaks into your eyes while soaking in the hot springs.
From the first time she saw Ruiji, Yue couldn't help but want to look at it twice.
There are not many Japanese witches who are so beautiful, and every witch who meets her will subconsciously do so.
