After breakfast, everyone began to seriously discuss where to go today.
During this period, Hoshino Suiruo interjected in an unusual way: "My family may come over today."
Shiraishi and the others thought they were going to pick up Weiko, but only Qing Keisuke knew that this was something she told him specifically.
He said "Oh" to show that he understood.
Finally, Shiraishi and Tsukishima cheered and decided to go to the local folk museum in Yuzawa.
Neither Qing Keisuke nor Hoshino had any objections.
In order to prevent people from the Hoshino family from showing up in the middle and disturbing the fun, Aoi Keisuke called yuki and gave it an aura that replaced Hoshino in mystical science.
"President, please write a handwritten note. Just write it and sign it at the end."
"What does this do?" Hoshino asked.
"If the Hoshino family has the ability to catch Yuki, it can prevent him from being harmed."
After hearing Qing Keisuke's complete plan, Hoshino couldn't bear to let Yuki go out to attract the family's attention for him.
"Don't worry, this can be regarded as a kind of training for yuki." Qing Keisuke stuck the note on yuki's back, and put the cat down after confirming that it would not affect the movement.
"In this training, it is forbidden to hurt people. You can only try your best to hide. It must be in line with human habits and the people who are tracking cannot notice anything abnormal."
"Meow~?"
In short, tool cats should play their due role.
Whether it's to find Weizi or to lure away the Hoshino family who came after smelling the smell, it's all Yuki's unwavering loyalty to the majestic Demon King.
Hoshino didn't understand why Aoi Keisuke wanted to train a pet like this, but in the end he didn't refuse. He just promised yuki that he would take it to eat the best sashimi in the future.
After hearing this, yuki became excited immediately and rushed out in the rain.
It was troublesome for five people to travel together. In the end, Otomo Sawaki's car was commandeered, and Chizuru Tsukishima, who also had the attributes of a tool man, took the driver's seat.
When the female teacher from Tokyo got into the car and found out that it was a manual transmission, she complained for a while.
This time the co-pilot was Shiraishi.
The two adult women were like drivers in the cab of a tram, sitting upright, as if they were responsible for the safety of the three "underage" people in the back compartment.
In the rear compartment, Aoi Keisuke was sitting on the right, with Shiraishi in front, Hoshino sitting on the left, and Wenzi in the middle, swaying left and right, falling towards the two of them as he turned.
Qianzi seemed to regard this as some kind of game and was having a great time playing it.
The neon rock music of the 1990s was playing on the CD player, with guitars, drums, and decadent and light songs pouring out of the speakers. The lead singer sang:
When the song "Mr. Driver" came to the song, Shiraishi started to sing along loudly, and even turned his head and extended his hand towards Tsukishima, pretending to interview her.
"Didn't I already load you up, you idiot!" Tsukishima also cooperated with her.
The wiper on the front window swept away the rainwater, which seemed to be infected by the happy atmosphere in the car, and splashed happily on the ground.
The weeping child kept humming along, making Hoshino unable to refuse to participate in such a stupid part.
Qing Keisuke listened quietly, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Such a smile made people want to be intoxicated.
Even Hoshino subconsciously avoided his face.
After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at the folk museum.
As Yuzawa's biggest signature, it is not the Fuji Music Festival videos over the years, but "Snow Country" written by Kawabata Yasunari.
Before entering, you can see the high concentration of "snow country" elements all around.
In addition to the local folk customs of Yuzawa, many characteristics of surrounding areas have also been included to enrich the collection.
Qing Keisuke wandered aimlessly in the museum. When he encountered something he was interested in, he stopped to look at the introduction on the display board.
The group of people dispersed, Hoshino took Qianzi with him, and Shiraishi guarded his best friend Tsukishima alone.
The Demon King walked around by himself and finished browsing the exhibition hall early. Finally, he chose to go to a nearby cafe and ordered a cappuccino in the antique shop while waiting for others to finish browsing.
The rain outside the window gradually became lighter. Although the sky was still dark, the rain showed signs of stopping.
Qing Keisuke was silent, drinking coffee quietly.
After the rain, it may not be sunny, just like bad luck, it often comes one after another.
…
"Fujiko, I'm going back."
"What?"
"The rain is going to stop."
Weizi let go of Hoshino's hand and carefully opened his umbrella: "Weizi is going back."
Hoshino was stunned, looking at Weizi's calm face, he suddenly felt infinite sadness.
At the same time, she felt sad for Weizi's calmness.
Qing Keisuke was right. In the final analysis, they were just meteors that passed by in the life of Weiqi, and failed to leave any mark on this white paper.
Weeping child's body slowly dissipated in the air, and at the end, she waved goodbye to Hoshino.
"Let's play together next time, Fujiko."
"next time……?"
Weizi didn’t answer when Hoshino’s next time would be, or whether there would really be a next time.
But without Qing Keisuke, how could she meet Weiko again?
She walked to the window of the library. The world outside was still dark, but the rain really stopped.
Not long after, Ye Yingzhe also called her.
"Hey, sister!"
He lowered his voice and said: "You'd better stop quickly, this time my father is here in person."
No wonder...
Hoshino had already expected it. Her original instruction was to keep raining. Now that the rain has stopped, it naturally means that someone in the Hoshino family has intercepted her order.
But she didn't expect that the person coming turned out to be her "respected" father.
"Don't worry about it, just take good care of yourself."
"elder sister!"
"..."
"Anyway, my father invited people from the Shantou Dojo to go to Yuzawa, and it seems that he had some discussions with the Shantou Sword Master. Sister, please ask your friends... to be careful."
Tetsuya Yezakura stopped admonishing and had no choice but to secretly tell Hoshino the latest information.
"I will help you ask who went there later. The disciples of Shantong Sword Master are very powerful. It is best not to conflict with them."
"knew."
Hoshino took a deep breath and felt the heavy pressure.
All of this can be attributed to her using the power of the Hoshino family for Weizi.
After leaving the Hoshino family, she had nothing and accomplished nothing.
But her ability is extremely important to the Hoshino family.
That's why they mobilized so many people, and the head of the Hoshino family came to Yuzawa in person.
She hung up the phone and covered her face with her hands, not knowing what expression to make. At the same time, she felt exhausted from the inside out.
Is it time for this farce to come to an end?
"What's wrong, President? Are you crying?"
Suddenly there was an annoying voice behind her.
There is no doubt that it is Qing Keisuke's voice.
His voice got closer and closer, and finally it was close to Hoshino's ear, and his lips even touched her cold hair.
Qing Keisuke forced his way into Hoshino's lonely world, chuckled maliciously, and deprived him of the qualification to fall into Hoshino.
"People who are walking in pain often lose their minds once they encounter hope.
But after hope is shattered, the usual pain will become more unbearable and painful.
You don't have any ability to resist temptation, so you shouldn't get too close to Weizi.
Weeping children should not come near you either.
The price of losing your mind is that everything you fantasize about runs counter to reality and becomes a dagger that hurts yourself.
Dripping with blood, how pitiful.
President——"
His tone was bewitching and compassionate, and there was indescribable joy in his heart. He said: "At this moment, why don't you try to make a wish to me, a member of P Society?
As long as you pay the price...I will fulfill your wish."
