When Hoshino really "woke up" again, what caught his eye was the wooden ceiling.
Her body was lying on the tatami, covered with a thin quilt.
"This is Kaoru Ozawa's bedroom."
"What happened just now?" Hoshino asked softly after confirming that no one was around.
"Perhaps...you were 'listening' just now." Qinggui said with a hint.
"Yeah?"
Fujiko Hoshino closed his eyes again, discerning what was the reality of his situation, and also thinking about the message that the dream sent to him.
"So, Lord Kurosawa was killed by Takuto Ozawa."
"Well, Lord Kurosawa was drunk, so he tricked him into going to the lake and pushed him into the water."
This is why the cause of death of Lord Kurosawa could not be determined when he was finally discovered.
"At that time, Ozawa Takuto discovered me?"
"I didn't know who it was at first, but after I returned to the village and thought about it for a while, I must have known that the witness was my biological sister."
Hoshino laughed coldly: "So, what would have happened last night?"
"What will happen...?"
Qing Keisuke was also laughing. The two people were like ice cubes without any temperature, colliding with each other in the bedroom, and came to the same cold conclusion.
Hoshino then slowly sat up. The warm bed dispelled the cold remaining in her body last night, allowing her to regain her former vitality.
Her room was on the second floor, a little small and low, and there was a faint smell of wood in the air.
The door to the room is a thin shoji door made of paper.
Next to the sleeping tatami, there is a lacquered wardrobe, and next to the wardrobe there is a desk and a wooden bookcase.
On the wall on the other side are posters of Takuya Kimura, a round clock and stickers of cartoon animals.
"There seems to be a place worth exploring in this house." Qing Keisuke became more and more self-conscious about word game narration.
Hoshino got up and came to the desk first. Standing here, he could vaguely hear the conversation coming from downstairs, but he couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed that they were talking about the disappearance of Lord Kurosawa.
No matter what, the marriage between Ozawa Sonoko and Kurosawa Nobu must be postponed.
There are some quite trendy gadgets of this era placed on the desk. Next to them are photos of the three siblings and a silver women's watch.
"These ornaments were gifts sent back from Sendai by Takuto Ozawa on Kaoru Ozawa's birthday.
He attended high school and university in Sendai City."
Hoshino picked up the photo frame. In the photo, the three brothers and sisters were still relatively young, leaning on each other, with bright smiles. They seemed to have a good relationship.
But this seems to be different from what Hoshino knows. Whether it is the quarrel between Ozawa Sonoko and Ozawa Kaoru, or Ozawa Takuto's cold attitude... there is a sense of separation from the scene in the photo.
She always didn't believe in the warmth and harmony of the family, so she put the photo down with a sneer.
What is frozen in the photo is always just the superficial appearance of the moment, but the true feelings at that time cannot be preserved at the same time.
"The reason why Ozawa Takuto's thoughts are so different from those of Ozawa villagers is because of this experience?"
"Who can answer this question for you except me?"
"Don't you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve?"
Hoshino's tone was contemptuous, and his fingers gently brushed the table. On it were placed a crystal ball with a snow castle, a trendy cartoon pencil case, a music box, a compact tape player and several fresh-style notebooks.
"Okay, okay, Ozawa Takuto's thoughts are indeed deeply affected by the experience of studying abroad, but it is not the only reason for his behavior."
Hoshino paused for a moment, and his expression was completely forcing Qing Keisuke to continue speaking with his eyes.
Although Qing Keisuke could not see her expression, in the tacit silence, he continued to speak: "He also has a childhood playmate who guides his thinking. His name is ■■■■."
When Aoi Keisuke revealed the answer to Hoshino, a sharp noise suddenly muffled Aoi Keisuke's voice.
Aoi Keisuke laughed when he saw this: "The right to 'listen' has been restricted and restricted, which leads to the existence of secrecy."
Hoshino covered his ears, took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "You knew this a long time ago?"
"What?"
"..."
Qing Keisuke's tone of deliberately pretending not to know is obviously more irritating.
But what makes Hoshino even more irritated is that in just half a day, she seems to have gradually become accustomed to it and become immune to this feeling.
"Stop chatting, President."
Keisuke Aoi was offended. He obviously liked chatting, but he took the lead in saying: "Although it is an exploration game, don't forget to advance the main plot."
Hoshino turned a deaf ear and continued to check the things in the room, trying to extract useful information from them.
After she had checked most of the area, a slight creaking sound came from the stairs outside the shoji door, and Aoi Keisuke's reminder sounded at the right time:
"Ozawa Kaoru's mother is walking towards your room. She seems to be worried about her little daughter's health. Her name is 'Ozawa Megumi'.
Her little daughter used to be her most beloved child, and no matter how clever she imitates, she may not be able to escape her eyes."
In front of a mother, pretending to be her child?
Hoshino pondered after hearing this. If she could still listen to her inner voice, she would be absolutely sure to deceive him.
But even Qing Keisuke gave up the fun and gave her a special reminder. I'm afraid this will be the biggest difficulty in her experience!
So she quickly chose to get back into the quilt and pretended to continue to sleep.
"Wise choice."
After a while, the thin shoji door of the room was gently pushed open, and Hoshino heard the footsteps and the slightly cautious breathing of another person.
"smoke?"
"smoke?"
The woman's voice was quite soft, and her gentle appearance seemed to be visible without opening her eyes.
"Aren't you awake yet..."
She sighed to herself, put the wooden bucket filled with cold water aside, twisted a towel out of the water and began to wipe Hoshino's face, neck, arms and legs carefully.
"You silly boy, you actually had a big quarrel with your sister over something like that. It's really scary. Or is it because I dote on you so much that you develop such a temper?
There is no ladylike appearance at all, and I dare to run into the forest alone at night...
At such a young age, you did such a thing for the sake of... love. Your father was so angry that he almost went crazy. He spent the whole night in the mountains looking for you, saying that he would beat you to death.
When I came back, I had another big argument with your brother. Mom and I seemed to be unable to understand what we said.
But isn’t it already hard enough for a family to live a life of mutual understanding?
Your brother has changed, but in the end he is still your brother, so don’t always go against him."
Megumi Ozawa sat alone next to Hoshino, wiping carefully and whispering to himself.
She held Hoshino Fujiko's warm hand and whispered: "Your father saw you in such a miserable state, and in the end he immediately ran down the mountain to find a doctor.
Those things he said were angry words.
If you dare not open your eyes because of fear, just tell your mother and she will forgive you.
Then I will sincerely apologize to my father...
Xun, are you awake?"
The room was quiet, and Xingye felt a little irritated and uneasy, but in the end he did not choose to open his eyes.
