Iori Chaoyang was plunged into darkness.

Everything in front of me is blurry, there seems to be a figure floating in the dark, squirming, squirming, squirming in the dark like a worm, still making unknown commotions.

I don't know how long I have been walking in this darkness, but a glimmer of light appeared in front of me.

He wasn't very interested, but walked over anyway.

What kind of scene is that in front of you?The sky and the ground are blood-colored, and the dim light on the horizon makes it difficult to distinguish day from night. In front of him is the small town he is familiar with, which is as boring as ever...

...No, that's not all.

He suddenly noticed something strange.

The soil was soaked in blood, and bloody handprints were printed on the white wall. He stepped on a reddish brown and black foreign body, and smelled a rotten smell at the end of his nose.

Someone was crying and laughing at the same time.

Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing, burning them, burning them, hey, sorry, help, help me, sorry, kill, kill, kill, kill——

Squeak - squeak -

It was the sound of fingernails scratching desperately on the door.

Hiss - hiss -

It was the sound of something heavy being dragged and scraped across the ground.

Tick-tick-tick-

It was the sound of water droplets falling from nowhere.

why?

He heard a voice ask.

where is it?

the child's voice asked him.

Why us?Why die?Why can't you go out?It hurts, it hurts, it hurts why why why where where where daddy mommy mommy mommy daddy where-

Iori Chaoyang suddenly laughed.

From smiling to laughing, I can't help but bend down, raise my body, and let out a piercing laugh.

His body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he stopped suddenly.

After a while, the blond-haired young man slowly straightened up.

There is a bit of madness in his black eyes, and the corners of his mouth are raised high.

"Interesting. So much fun..."

That's right.That's all.

In this boring world, it is only with this level of interesting things that people can truly feel their own existence. He is indeed still living in this world.

Iori Chaoyang sometimes even has a little bit of expectation, if someone can kill him——

He laughed at himself unabashedly.

He clearly realized that he had fallen into this wonderful dream, and at the same time noticed the sign that he was about to return to reality.

...how much better is reality than this dream?Perhaps for those tourists, it was even worse...

The blond young man sneered and allowed the senses of his limbs and body to gradually fall into place. He felt a ray of sunlight shining on his face, his eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his eyes.

The purpose of entering is the familiar lounge, and the girl with black hair and blue eyes beside her.

"Wanli Xiaolu..."

He heard the other party muttering to himself.

Iori Chaoyang raised the corners of his mouth again.

When the proprietress Sara walked into the common room, only the younger sister of the Tohsaka family was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hand, but the other party didn't seem to be planning to read, but was in a daze.

The appearance of the proprietress seemed to startle her, but she suddenly came back to her senses.

"Ya, Miss Sara..."

The girl with twin tails seemed flustered, but she quickly controlled herself and calmed down again.

"...Good afternoon, Miss Sara."

She greeted the proprietress again, and the person who was greeted returned the greeting politely but coldly as always.

"Good afternoon, Miss Tohsaka."

The red-haired proprietress returned the salute, frowned and looked at Yukina's face that still had some inexplicable emotions, she couldn't help pursing her lips, paused, and couldn't help opening her mouth to add, "...Miss Tohsaka's Your complexion is not very good, is there any discomfort?"

"..."

For the rare concern of the proprietress, Jie Cai was silent for a moment, moved her lips, and asked another question.

"Miss Sara and Mr. Iori... are you acquaintances?"

This weird and thoughtless question was denied by the proprietress without hesitation, frowning, "I don't know him well."

Such an answer is clearly unsatisfactory.

"But Mr. Iori said he came back to visit an old friend..."

Yuina still frowned, "I seem to have met each other, but here, isn't it only Miss Sara and Dr. Sakuma..."

"..."

This time it was the landlady's turn to keep silent.

"...Maybe he just said it casually." After a long while, Jie Cai heard the other party say in a low voice, "This person's words can't be trusted, Ms. Tohsaka had better remember this."

This was a sincere admonition, but the girl bit her lip, feeling a little unwilling for some reason.

why?Did one mystery after another make her feel restless, or was it the vague, general and mysterious way of speaking of the tour guide, the driver, or even the proprietress that ignited her desire to explore?

Maybe all of them.Maybe……

Jie Cai quickly cleared up her mood. Facing the somewhat worried eyes of the proprietress, she pursed her lips and showed the same smile as usual.

"I see, Miss Sara...Thank you for your concern."

Seeing that the other party looked away shyly, she couldn't help laughing sincerely, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she reached out and took out a lollipop from her pocket, and stuffed it into the proprietress's hand without any explanation.

"Come... this is Yangcai asking me to find a chance to give it to Miss Shaluo."

Ever since Ludwick said that the proprietress's preference for strawberries was missed, Hina, who has a good impression of the proprietress, has been grabbing her lollipops, but couldn't find a chance to give her all the strawberry-flavored ones.

She stuffed one of the connecting dishes, and told her to 'play by ear'.

"Uh... well, thank you..."

Somewhat at a loss, Sara didn't refuse after all, and accepted the candy that Jiecai stuffed.

"Yangnai likes Ms. Sara very much. Although she is a bit annoying sometimes...in fact, she is not very annoying... Rather, she is quite cute...ah, anyway, please Ms. Sara tolerate her more..."

"……OK."

Facing the helpless but smiling girl who was talking about her sisters, the proprietress was a little unsure of what to say, so she could only nod in response.

Yuka glanced at her secretly and coughed lightly.

"Anyway, anyway, Yangcai and I like Miss Sara very much... If you need help, you're welcome to call us."

After she hurriedly finished speaking, she felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment, and secretly looked at the proprietress nervously because she couldn't wait for the reply, which made her laugh happily.

The proprietress, who was standing there, showed a rare expression of being at a loss, and an indistinguishable blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
