Promoting Konoha's cup of wine at the Magic College

Because it is in a relatively remote suburban area, this hotel is not that luxurious, but the advantage is that the proprietress is a person with a serious personality, and the room and bedding are all very clean and tidy.

After running around and working hard during the day, in the evening listening to the crisp sound of rain outside on the tiles, being able to take a hot bath in the hot spring in the hotel is so comfortable that it relaxes the whole body and makes you feel like your whole body is melting. This pool is filled with warm spring water.

The cold wind and rain are blocked by the solid wall, and the fatigue and hardship all over the body are resolved in the warm and soft spring water.

In such a lazy and comfortable environment, Uchiha Hitomi closed his eyes and almost fell asleep.

The gentle sound of movement came from the pool. Hitomi, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, rolled his eyes slightly, opened his eyes, and vaguely caught a glimpse of a girl who was probably in junior high school in the hot spring.

The girl had soft and shiny chestnut hair, and her gentle and timid green eyes looked at Hitomi apologetically: "Sorry, I still woke you up."

Hitomi shook her head, her voice was sweet and soft, with a rustling texture at the end: "Your movements are already very light, it's my problem."

The soft and melodious voice relieved the girl's tension very well. Her body sank into the water, the lower half of her face was immersed in the water, and her two beautiful green eyes were filled with a shy smile: "Hello, my name is Chi Shanghua. "

"Flower? What a good name."

Just hearing this girl's name, it is easy to think of the brightly colored flower petals flowing in the rippling water of the pool. Hitomi blinked, and a few mist beads on her thick eyelashes rolled down her long eyelashes, "My name is Hitomi Uchiha, you can call me Hitomi."

"Huh? I can call you by your name right now. Is that okay?" Chi Shanghua asked in surprise with her eyes widened.

Hitomi Uchiha paused and suddenly remembered that in this world of cursed spirits and spells, ordinary people seemed to call each other by name only if they had a close relationship.

But Hitomi always forgets this. If the other person tells her his or her full name, she will always call him or her by his first name.

After all, Konoha where she grew up is a ninja village, and there are too many people with the same surname in it. If you shout Uchiha while walking on the street, there might be five or six red rabbit eyes turning back to stare at you. In order to avoid this It was an embarrassing and fatal scene, everyone called each other by their first names.

In Tokyo Magic High School, her best friend Gojo Satoru was lively, enthusiastic and cheerful. He also called everyone by their first names and joked with them casually.

However, whether it is a direct name or a joke, it does not represent an intimate relationship, because Gojo Satoru himself is very arbitrary and does whatever he wants, and does not care at all about the convoluted meaning behind these verbal behaviors.

Many other conjurers also have weird tempers, and most of them don't care about such small details, so Hitomi's practice of directly calling each other's names is not out of the ordinary in the Conjuring High School, and no one has ever corrected or reminded her. Hitomi this.

But this approach seems a bit too much for ordinary people.

Looking at Hana Ikegami, an ordinary girl who seemed to have uneasiness written all over her face, Hitomi Uchiha was a little at a loss and coughed lightly: "No problem, calling me by name is just my personal habit. You can call me if you're not used to it. surname."

The face of the girl named Hana Ikegami turned red from the heat of the hot spring: "No, no need. You can also just call me Hana. Nice to meet you, Hitomi."

The last name was spoken by Chi Shanghua softly and quickly, as if a light white mist was about to dissipate in the air at any time.

Hitomi Uchiha smiled: "Nice to meet you, Hana."

Across the rising mist of water vapor, the two girls who met for the first time looked at each other and smiled. Although they did not speak anymore, the atmosphere between them was tacit and harmonious.

The time of relaxation is short-lived after all. After enjoying the hot spring bath, Uchiha Hitomi stood up from the water and was about to say goodbye to Ikegami Hana and then go to Xia Youjie to discuss the next mission. By the way, she exchanged information with Gojo Satoru on the phone and heard the shy Ikegami. Hua suddenly said: "Do you want Hitomi to go back to the room?"

Hitomi, who was about to change into regular clothes, stepped forward

He hesitated and looked back at Chi Shanghua, whose tone was a little strange: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Ikegami Hana, who was still soaking in the hot spring, swam to the edge of the pool and approached Hitomi. She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Do you know why there are so few guests in this hotel?"

Indeed, it is not too late now, it is a good time to soak in the hot springs. Hitomi has only met Ikegami Hana after staying in the women's hot spring for so long. During the check-in reception, she only saw the proprietress. There are indeed quite few guests. look like.

Hitomi Uchiha held her chin and thought seriously for a while, then analyzed: "Judging from the location of this store, although the scenery here is beautiful, it is not famous. It is not a popular tourist attraction, and it is normal for the passenger flow to be low; besides, there are It is located in the countryside, in a remote location, with high mountains, and the transportation is not developed enough..."

Chi Shanghua: "What you said makes sense..." She had almost forgotten what she wanted to say.

But Hitomi didn't forget it. She stopped and looked at the flowers on the pool quietly, and asked slowly: "What's the answer to the flowers?"

Chi Shanghua suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah, by the way, I wanted to say that there is news that this hotel is haunted. Many people are afraid to stay. My friends and I are both paranormal enthusiasts here to visit. It is said that the ghosts here will Attacking a lonely person in the middle of the night, I thought...if Hitomi came alone, would she like to live with us?"

ghost? Is it a curse spirit? But there is clearly no scent of a cursed spirit nearby, or is it just a pure supernatural rumor?

Facing Chi Shanghua's kindness, Tong smiled and said politely: "No, I'm here with my friends too. Flowers and friends should also pay attention to their safety."

The Nordic-style simple chandelier on the ceiling shines with clear and warm light, softly outlining the outlines of the two people working separately. For a long time, the room was so quiet that only the sound of paper and pen touching and the rustling of pages was turned, like a quiet and peaceful picture. Picture scroll.

"News about a haunting?"

Xia Youjie took a pen and wrote quickly on today's mission report, frowning his slender eyebrows, "I can't feel the breath of the curse spirit around here. There are few people nearby and it is difficult to produce high-level curse spirits. It should be just a pure supernatural being. Let’s hear rumors.”

Hitomi Uchiha sat cross-legged on the tatami, flipping through a pile of notes on his lap, "I asked the landlady, and she said that there might be a wild cat in heat recently, and it was wailing outside all night long. It is said that the sound is very similar to The cries of resentment sounded quite permeable in the open area, so the imaginative guests made up very bizarre supernatural stories."

"It's very possible. I went out for a trip. There are indeed a lot of wild cats nearby, and the locals also like to keep cats."

Xia Youjie stopped writing, sorted out the mission report and put it into a folder, then reached for his cell phone in his pocket, "By the way, we haven't called Wu yet."

No useful information was found at the end of the day, and it was difficult to find any breakthrough. Both of them decided to dig up more news about the Gosan family from Gojo Satoru during the same period, and find some inspiration from it.

The call was quickly connected.

"Moxi Moxi, what's wrong Jay?"

Gojo Satoru's lively voice came from the other end of the receiver.

"Ask you something."

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"It's something related to our mission..."

Xia Youjie briefly explained the mission content.

"Well, it's the Yusan family's fault. It's really surprising."

"Does Satoru have someone to suspect?"

"That's too much. After all, those rotten oranges are so annoying, and there are many people who want to kill them. Ah, besides, those rotten oranges will also plot against each other and kill each other."

"Is that so..."

"But I personally think the murderer is most likely to come from the Chanyuan family, right?"

"why?"

After a short period of silence.

"Tsk, I just went to check some relevant information. I just can't figure out what the Chanyuan family is doing..."

The two DKs were still talking, but there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house. Hitomi held down Xia Youjie who was about to leave, motioned him with her eyes to continue talking to Gojo Satoru, and stood up to open the door.

It's the flower on the pond.

Meet Uchi

Wave pupils, Ikegami Hana's eyes lit up, as if a drowning person had grasped the driftwood of hope: "H-I'm sorry! I disturb you so late, but, I, I'm sorry..."

Perhaps because of eagerness or embarrassment, Chi Shanghua kept talking, stumbling over and over with her words. The more anxious she was, the harder it became to speak clearly, almost making her cry.

During the whole process, Hitomi Uchiha looked at her calmly and tenderly, without rushing to urge or comfort Ikegami Hana. Under the dim light of the entrance hall, Hitomi tightly held Ikegami Hana's hand that was shaking with excitement, and the warm and firm feeling was transmitted through the palm of her hand. This silent tolerance helped Chi Shanghua calm down from her embarrassment.

She smiled gratefully, took a deep breath, gathered her words, and then spoke with pursed lips.

"I don't know why I couldn't contact my friend, and he didn't come back at the time we agreed. I called the police, but it didn't meet the conditions for filing a case. The landlady also said that the neighborhood was safe. Maybe she was just playing with her mobile phone for a while. Also set mute..."

As if she was afraid that Hitomi Uchiha in front of her would think this was just her making a fuss, Ikegami paused and emphasized her tone.

"Yukino is a paranormal enthusiast like me. We are very cautious on weekdays. When we go on adventures, we will bring enough water, equipment and spare batteries, and send secret codes to each other regularly to ensure safety. Even if we cannot meet at the agreed time I will definitely make a special call to explain.”

"But this time, Yukino has been completely out of contact for an hour. This has never happened before!"

Chi Shanghua really didn't know what to do. To be fair, the situation didn't seem very urgent. Perhaps as the landlady said, her friend was probably just having fun and came back late for a while, so there was no need to go to great lengths to fight.

However, Chi Shanghua, who is sensitive and delicate at heart, is still very uneasy.

She knew very well that her companions were not the kind of playful and careless people, so she always felt that things were not that simple. When she thought about the rumors of ghosts attacking alone people here late at night, she always felt that her friend Yukino might be in danger at this time. Thinking like this makes me even more anxious.

It was really helpless to come to find this girl whom he had only met once. After all, Chi Shanghua couldn't find any acquaintances who could help in this unfamiliar place.

"Did something happen?"

Hitomi stayed outside for too long, and Xia Youjie, who was worried about something unexpected happening, walked out of the room holding his cell phone.

Facing the tall and handsome DK who walked out of the girl's room at night, Ikegami Hana looked at Hitomi and then at the DK. Both of them naturally looked back at the only normal person present, Ikegami Hana, without any feeling. There is nothing wrong with a man and a woman living alone in the same room at night.

A normal person might not believe it, but having a man and a woman alone in the same room like this is really just the overtime routine of a social magician.

This unreasonable and strong aura confused Ikegami, and the nervous Ikegami began to have confused memories. She vaguely remembered that Hitomi did mention that she was with her boyfriend (or was she a friend? Sure enough, in this case, it should be her boyfriend! ) came together.

"Ah, so you are the boyfriend Hitomi mentioned?"

Ikegami Hana, who had already produced non-existent memories, suddenly realized.

"No!! Hitomi, when did you, this sneaky cat, have a boyfriend?!!"

To Chigami's surprise, the person who refuted her was not Hitomi Uchiha or the tall and handsome DK standing in front of her, but the mobile phone in DK's hand that was still in the call interface?
