"Are you ready?" Nanjiro asked Lin Xie and Long Ya in a low voice while holding a gong.

Lin Xie nodded after turning on the video mode of the camera, and made an OK gesture.

Long Ya also held up the enlarged photo of Ryoma, and put her other hand on the doorknob of Ryoma's room.

"Dang dang dang dang!"

"Ryoma sama~~Happy birthday!" Nanjiro took the lead, beating the gong and rushing into Ryoma's room.

"Little one! Happy birthday to you~" Long Ya sang a birthday song while holding a large portrait of a dragon and horse.

Scared, Carubin jumped out of bed and went to sleep elsewhere.

"Again..." Ryoma pulled up the quilt to cover his head.

"Wake up! It's Christmas Eve today! Doesn't the boy have a date?" Nanjiro shouted in his ear.

"Got it, got it." Ryoma slowly got up from the bed, frowned and rubbed his eyes.

Lin Xie sympathized with him while recording the video. Originally, his father was very unreliable, and his brother...it was too miserable.

The kitchen on the first floor was filled with enlarged photos of Ryoma crying when he was a child. Ryoma went downstairs to see it and was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to see it, took milk from the refrigerator and went back to his room.

"How about it, my masterpiece." Long Ya folded her arms and admired Long Ma's photo.

"Very cute." Lin Xie nodded, and at the same time silently added: As expected of two brothers, they both have the same idea of ​​trickery.

……

"Let's go, secret room." Ryoma appeared at the entrance wearing a hat, and was about to change his shoes and go out.

"Aren't you cold?" Looking at the brothers' two thin sweaters and coats, Lin Xie looked at his padded clothes again. Is this a season?

"The tram and the secret room are not cold, it doesn't matter." Long Ya also changed her shoes and stood at the door to contact the owner.

"What should I do if there are questions in Japanese?" Lin Xie was still a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter, we have members of the book committee, it will be fine." Long Ya patted Long Ma on the shoulder and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

"You are still far away." Ryoma turned on the mocking mode.

After the three of them deposited their bags and mobile phones, each put on a blindfold and was led into the secret room by the staff.

"You can take off the blindfold." The instructions of the staff came from the intercom.

After Lin Xie took off the blindfold, he was blinded by the light in the room.

"Is this...the bathroom?"

The room the three of them were in seemed to be a large bathroom in a hotel or castle, with a dry bath in the southeast corner and a row of shower heads in the north.

"There's the reverberation sound of the bathroom when talking here." Long Ya put her hands in her coat pockets and looked up at the structure of the bathroom.

"Look for clues first." Ryoma started from the door and carried out a carpet search.

"Here is a piece of paper." Lin Xie found a piece of A4 paper lying at his feet with words printed on it.

"お风吕で搭ちる色は?"

(What is the color that falls when taking a bath?)

"aka (red)." Long Ya thought of the answer after reading the question once.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xie tilted his head and couldn't figure it out.

"aka, it's this Chinese character."

Ryoma wrote a big "Ku" in the air.

"So it's a homonym." Lin Xie understood.

Then Ryoma found a pile of scattered red envelopes next to the bathtub, and after opening them one by one, only one letter contained the content: "This should be a question about spelling Chinese characters."

Lin Xie saw a bunch of radicals, and felt that this round should be his highlight moment, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to show off his talents.

"Is it a sentence"?It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the bathroom. "Long Ya sat on the ground, holding a pen to write and draw on the white paper just now.

"This, this, and this...should be able to form the word "barrel", right? " Lin Xie also knelt on the ground and pointed to the topic.

"That's right." Ryoma got up and rummaged through the shower head.

There is a puzzle hidden under the tub.

"流み拌れ: Waiting for Spears to Create"

(Excerpt from: Hou Maoxiong Chuang)

Although they are all Chinese characters, Lin Xie seems to be illiterate and has no clue at all.

"Is it related to pronunciation?" Long Ya pinched her chin and thought.

"I don't know both phonetic reading and training reading." Lin Xie spread his hands.

"No." Ryoma looked down at the words on the paper seriously.

"Each character hides a katakana, ユ, ア, ガ, リ. The answer is "汤上がり"! (after taking a shower)"

The moment Ryoma read the answer, the lights went out and the bathroom door flew open.A staff member dressed as a "ghost" ran in with an ambient light, startling the three of them.

"Run!" Long Ma pulled up the wrists of the people behind him and ran.

"Wait……"

Lin Xie watched as Long Ma took Long Ya's hand and disappeared through the door, leaving her to face the "bathroom ghost" alone.

……

"I'm really sorry!" Long Ma looked at Lin Xie who walked into the second secret room slowly, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Xie shook his hand to express his indifference, "Have you found any new clues?"

"This—it seems to be a novel. You need to fill in the corresponding name in the box behind, right?" Long Ya found the latest clue.

""Dancing Girl" - Mori Ogai, "Rashomon" - Akutagawa Ryunosuke, "Young Master" - Natsume Soseki, "Run, Melles" - Dazai Osamu." Ryoma said without blinking. There is an answer.

"As expected of a member of the Book Committee!" Lin Xie was surprised by the speed of solving the problem and couldn't help applauding.

……

The speed of solving the problems later was much faster. The secret room in Japan focuses on the pronunciation of Chinese characters. Lin Xie played the role of "applause tool man" throughout the process, applauding the wonderful reasoning of the two brothers.

……

"How is it? Do you have fun in this secret room?" Long Ya asked Long Ma.

"まだまだだね! (It's still far away)" Ryoma felt a sense of accomplishment after coming out of the secret room.

"Prince of the Chamber of Secrets—Ryoma Sama." Lin Xie had become an emotionless applause machine.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat." Ryoma suggested while rubbing his stomach.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Chinese cuisine?" Long Ma raised his eyes to ask for Lin Xie's opinion.

"Let's go!" Lin Xie's eyes lit up immediately.
