[Ningjin Mountain Summer Strange Talk] The ending record of a tourist

Jie Cai was awakened by a slight rustling sound the next morning.

She struggled to open her eyes, and saw Yangcai crept past her bed with a towel in her hand, saw her squinting and lying on the bed looking at herself expressionlessly, Yangcai put down the washing in her hand Supplies, waved to the girl.

"No need to get up, today is our group going out to explore, Yukina, you can just stay in the hotel...Damn it, so why are we divided into different groups..."

As she was talking, she complained again, Jie Cai closed her eyes, turned over, raised one arm and shook it towards Yang Cai.

"...Go, go...I'll sleep again...for a while..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and her dangling arms rested softly on her body.

Yangcai is quite used to the behavior of her compatriots and smiles in return. When she falls asleep at night, her sister is still reading or doing something else, and it takes hours after she wakes up in the morning to see her crawling out of bed with a dazed face. Wake up... This is already a daily meal for them.

One of the twins of the Tohsaka family packed up his scattered items lightly, and carefully closed the door when he exited the room.

It was already after ten o'clock when Jie Cai came to the restaurant rubbing his forehead.

I read until early in the morning yesterday, and my head was still aching when I woke up. There was a breakfast for one person on the dining table, which was just a combination of rice, miso soup and fried egg sausage. It couldn’t be simpler.

But for people who are now penniless, this is undoubtedly a satisfying meal.

There is also a note under the dinner plate, which reads in delicate handwriting:

'Miss Tohsaka Yuina, this is breakfast for you. '

Jie Cai pulled out the note and read it again. It was a fairly simple message. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a wooden handwriting board hanging on the wall on which the recipe and some messy things were written. Evaluation, and even some small doodles.

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Jie Cai put the note in his pocket, sat down and enjoyed the somewhat late breakfast quietly.

The restaurant was quiet at this time. The people in group A had already set off to explore the city, but even the people in the left-behind group had disappeared, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Because it was really boring, Jie Cai looked at the restaurant while eating - the decoration here looks simple and warm, although there are few decorations, but it looks a little tidier because of this - her eyes naturally fell again On the tablet on the wall.

The recipe, it's a little strange that it's not about breakfast... Could it be a recipe for Chinese food?Thinking of this, she chewed silently while looking at the various comments under the recipes one by one, most of which were such as "Salt roasted blue and white flowers are delicious", "Thick egg roast tastes great" and "It's so sweet". Some people even wrote a sentence of "I will come again". For a hotel, this is probably the happiest evaluation, right?

As Jie Cai finished the last taste of Zengtang, she was thinking wildly. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little cold behind her.

She put down the bowl, paused, and suddenly reached out to take out the small note stuffed into her pocket and looked at it again.

The handwriting on the note is completely different from the handwriting board.

"...Did you guess wrong?"

She whispered to herself, and stuffed the note back with a slightly confused expression.

Out of a little concern and thinking that the novel she brought had already been read, after the meal, Jie Cai did not go back to the room directly, but went to the sales office, but the proprietress she was looking for was not there .

She was frowning when there was a slight sound from behind, which seemed to be the sound of stepping down the stairs.

After a while, the proprietress walked over with a young man named Lady Brissac with blond hair and blue eyes.

The young man looked a little cold, but when he saw Jie Cai, he smiled at her kindly.

"Good day, Miss Tohsaka."

He greeted briefly.

"Good day, Monsieur Brissac."

Jie Cai also responded indifferently, and turned to look at the red-haired proprietress who had already returned to the sales counter. After thinking about it, she still took out the note in her pocket.

"Miss Shaluo, thank you for saving breakfast for me."

The proprietress glanced briefly, and replied with a calm expression on her face: "Tourists will never miss three meals, this is the basic way of hospitality in hotels."

Although her attitude was cold, she did not deny that the note came from her.

Jie Cai's mood suddenly brightened, she put away the note, and proposed another matter, "I saw some books in the lounge downstairs yesterday, can I borrow them to read?"

"Please feel free to borrow."

"It's okay to take it back to the room to see?"

"As long as you don't take it out of the hotel, it's fine."

Jie Cai was satisfied with this reply. When she arrived last night, she noticed the common room on the first floor. There were many books on the shelf that she was interested in—it seemed that most of them were detective suspense, but there were also some classics such as Dazai. Ji, Natsume Soseki, etc., and even some foreign language books, but the light in this room seems to be a bit faulty, it is fine during the day, but last night it looked much darker than other rooms.

He briefly greeted the proprietress and the blond young man who was standing in front of the counter and was picking something. Before Jie Cai could reach the common room, he was hit by a girl (?) who rushed out halfway.

"Ah, ah, Jiecai-san!"

The other party called out her name affectionately, and the big sea blue eyes blinked, "It's so boring to stay behind~ Let's go play together?"

"Eh? Wait, wait, I'm going to read a book..."

For the familiarity of the girl (?), while Yuina feels a little uncomfortable, she can't help but feel a little cute in the other party's innocent appearance, and always feels a bit like her own twin...

Well, but sure enough, Hina is cuter.

Although an idiot.

"Go together... can you?"

Facing the deer-like wet anticipation of the other party, Jie Cai pursed her lips, and found that she couldn't say no, so she coughed lightly, looked away and nodded.

"……sure."

"That's great~!" The girl named Sanyechuan (NOoooo) happily took the arm of Tohsaka's younger sister, and walked forward with her whole body attached to Yuina's arm. Cai couldn't help being stunned, and then turned his head to glance at the other's chest thoughtfully.

She was silent for a moment, then spoke suddenly.

"…………Fake?"

“…………… Haha, don’t say it if you hate it.”

Showing a cute smile, he patted Jieca lightly, and the boy in women's attire loosened his hands a little, and let go of Jieca with a cheer when he saw the bookshelf in the common room, and jumped on it.

At a glance, he found a book that interested him.

"It's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde! It's so good~"

Jie Cai raised her eyebrows speechlessly, and turned her attention to the bookshelves. The bookshelves on the five floors were almost full. She picked out a few books and flipped through them. She found that although these books were well preserved, they could be seen Traces of being read more than once.

It is not known whether it is the owner's interest or whether it is borrowed by tourists.

But when it comes to the owner of the shop, isn't it just talking about Miss Sara...?

Jie Cai immediately thought of the hotel proprietress with red hair and a cold expression. At the same time, the menu on the handwriting board in the restaurant and the small note under the dinner plate came to her mind at the same time.

She shook her head a little.

Maybe it has nothing to do with Miss Shaluo, and it may not be the interest of the former owner.

Turning around some wild thoughts, Jie Cai looked carefully at the books on the bookshelf again. Although there were mostly mystery novels, the books on the bookshelf were actually quite messy, and she couldn't help counting them with great interest.

From Osamu Dazai to Kusaku Yumeno, and Agatha Christie, and then jump to Yasunari Kawabata, suspense novels by some unknown writers, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Soseki Natsume, Hisaku Yumeno——

……what.

The eyes of the girl with twin ponytails suddenly froze.

She seems to have seen something strange... Slightly restraining herself and continuing to look down, this slight strangeness was further magnified.

It's not that she thinks too much.

Indeed, the name of a book appeared in her sight many times.

Because of carefully checking the books on each floor, she had to squat with her knees in front of the bookshelf. Jie Cai took out a book from the second floor that caught her attention and felt weird, and read it thoughtfully.

It was "Brain Hell" written by Yumeno Hisaku, which was comparable to "Rashomon" in terms of evaluation.

In terms of fame, this is not the most well-known work. The reason why Jie Cai felt strange and focused on it was mainly because of a strange status quo discovered during the search process.

This "Brain Hell" seems to keep appearing in every corner of the bookshelf.

Jiecai counted, and there were eight books in total.

The author has something to say:
