Tokyo Ghost Diary

Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takasugi couldn't help but turn their heads and look over there.

Asaha Shinichi even smiled happily and narrowed his eyes: "Yeah? This word is very interesting..."

"Because we came here just to collect materials from that village!" Ryoko looked at Gen Hoshino and the others with gleaming eyes: "You are the same... and you came all the way from Tokyo. The things in that village are already so famous. ?"

"Ah, in a sense, it is indeed quite famous." Asaba Shinichi put away the hand holding his cheek, because the girl wearing a chef's hat had already brought three bowls of noodles on a tray.

The noodles were placed in front of the three of them. The girl turned around and smiled at the five people at the next table: "Your noodles will be ready soon, please wait a little longer."

After saying that, she went back to the kitchen again.

The five people over there didn't pay attention, because at the moment they were more interested in Hoshino Gen and the three of them. Among them, Ryoko, the carefree one, said excitedly: "Hey, let me tell you, since everyone is going to that village, we How about we form a team together?”

"Aha~ I have no objection, but as for them -" Asaha Nobu glanced at Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takasugi, who were already lowering their heads and murmuring. The eyes behind the sunglasses had no idea what kind of brilliance they had, and said in a faint tone: "I think it should be There will be no objection.”

Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takasugi remained silent. They didn't know whether it was because the noodles were too delicious or because they acquiesced to Asaba Shinichi's words.

Because we decided to form a team together to explore the haunted village to collect information, the distance between the two sides seemed to be shortened all of a sudden. Although this was more likely a unilateral illusion of the people at the next table, it still made the store deserted on a rainy day. There is a bit of a fiery atmosphere.

Through the two parties...or rather through the exchanges between Asaba Shinichi and the other five people, we learned that these people were college students studying in Sapporo, and they drove here by themselves during the school holidays.

After learning that the three of them had not found a hotel yet, the other party enthusiastically offered to take them to the hotel where the other party had checked in after dinner.

There wasn't much in the bowl of noodles. Even if they drank all the soup, everyone still ended the meal quickly.

When leaving, Gen Hoshino was the last one to walk. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the girl clerk who was standing in the store and watching them with a smile. He also smiled and raised his finger to point to the scarecrow hanging on the window. : "That pendant is very beautiful. I like it very much. Can you sell it to me?"

"No." The girl refused decisively with a smile on her face.

"That's it." Hoshino Gen took another deep look at the clerk girl, who also looked at him calmly.

......

The hotel found by the five college students from Sapporo was an old Japanese-style hotel located in the west of the town.

There are no double or twin rooms provided by conventional hotels, only Japanese-style rooms with wooden sliding doors and wooden tatami floors.

The five Sapporo college students share a room with three girls and two boys, while Gen Hoshino and his friends simply share a room with three people.

The owner of the hotel is a gray-haired old woman. After registering the check-in information and paying for the room, the old woman got down from the wicker chair behind the bar and led everyone to their respective rooms with a cane.

Gen Hoshino was still hanging at the end. Before walking into the corridor leading to each room, he couldn't help but look back at the bar of the hotel. There was a hanging decoration on it - a little faceless straw with a bit of black in it. people……

After entering the room, Hoshino Gen and the three of them still maintained the same state of no communication as when they were outside. Until they closed the sliding door, Hoshino Gen threw six talisman papers and stuck them on the surrounding walls, ceiling and floor. After taking a long breath, he sat down on the tatami.

"Wow, don't bother me. What the hell is going on in this town? It doesn't look abnormal at all, why is it making me so uncomfortable?"

Takasugi Yusuke's shoulders also relaxed slightly. He sat cross-legged on a set of quilts against the wall and said with a smile: "I feel the same way. I feel a strong psychological discomfort."

Hoshino Gen didn't sit down. He leaned against the door, folded his arms and looked down at the other two people in the room. He said in a calm voice: "Obviously, it's not just that village that has a problem, the whole town has a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman paper from nowhere, fiddled with it a few times, and the talisman paper turned into a paper crane and flew directly through the wall.

"Oh! Have you started investigating now?" Qian Yuxin laughed and said, "Then I'll come too."

The light in the Japanese style is warm yellow, not strong, and the shadows reflected are not very deep. However, among the three people in the room, the shadow of Asaha Shinichi is obviously much darker than the other two. Like a bottomless pool.

A dark crow struggled out of his shadow and flew away across the ceiling without crowing.

Takasugi Yusuke shrugged and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't lag behind."

As he spoke, a translucent hamster quietly appeared at his feet. The hamster dug twice on the ground. The floor did not change in any way, but it seemed to have dug a hole through the floor. Drilled down...

It was raining heavily outside. Paper cranes, black crows and transparent hamsters, three "things" with very different styles, got into the heavy rain together without hesitation.

However - "Zhizhi——!"

The hamster suddenly screamed, and the moment he was hit by the raindrops, he turned around and ran back under the eaves of the hotel. The crow and paper crane, who were obviously not as smart as the shikigami hamsters, were directly fighting the rain. At the moment of contact, one turned into a ball of thick ink and fell to the ground and disappeared, while the other turned into flying ash and disappeared in mid-air.

At the same time, the three people in the hotel room were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other a few times. Asaha Shinichi said "tsk", and there was no emotion in his voice: "Even Yu has a problem... You two, this Po Di'er seems to be more dangerous than we expected..."

Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takayama didn't respond, and there was a knock on the door.

Gen Hoshino, who was closest to the door, opened the sliding door. Outside the door was the girl named Ryoko. She first gave Gen Hoshino a big smile, and then said to the three of them: "We are playing a game over there. Three handsome guys want to play." Don’t want to go together?”

After saying that, a rather unique smile appeared on her face: "It's quite interesting, King's Game -"

The King's Game, as the name suggests, is a group of people drawing lots. The person who draws the King's Lot can order others to do anything. This game is generally seen in nightclubs or bars. It is actually a kind of flirting and social networking game between young men and women.

The three people who had just used their own mysterious methods to conduct investigations and failed in vain exchanged glances calmly, and then looked at Ryoko in unison, showing a very kind smile.

And three handsome guys, who are absolutely rare to see on weekdays, smiled at him at the same time. Despite his usual careless personality, Ryoko, who looked like a boy, couldn't help but blush...
