I teach kendo in Tokyo

"Come on, you should go home when you hear the Dvořák child." Kazuma joked, "Otherwise the terrible demon fox will come and eat the heart and liver."

Tamamo glanced at him, then suddenly raised one hand and spread out her fingers, as if she wanted to scratch someone, and let out an "ouch" sound.

"Run, the demon fox is coming." He Ma said and ran forward a few steps.

But he certainly couldn't really run, Tamamo's legs were sprained. If she didn't have a sprained foot, she would be able to run towards the sunset full of youthful hormones.

Tamamo followed, and just from the way she walked, it didn't look like she had a sprained foot.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Kazuma asked.

"It hurts, but it's okay." Tamamo smiled.

Kazuma stared at her for a few seconds, convinced that if he suggested carrying her back to the hotel again, he would be rejected, he turned around and said, "Let's go back."

"Um."

**

When we returned to the hotel, it was completely dark.

Mikako was lying on the railing on the second floor, licking popsicles and watching the sunset. She was wearing a hotel yukata.

"Kazuma!" She started waving when she saw Kazuma, "The popsicles and milk here are very good!"

Japanese people have the custom of drinking milk after taking a bath. It seems that Mikako has already taken a bath.

"How does the bathhouse feel?" Kazuma asked.

"The women's bath is pretty good. It's big and spacious. I don't know about the men's bath and mixed bathing." Mikako said, eating the popsicle in three mouthfuls, then putting the remaining stick in her mouth, freeing her hands to climb over the railing and swinging To the ground floor.

Kazuma stared at the fat on her body that was shaking with strenuous exercise and said, "It's time for you to lose weight."

"Why are you saying this? If I lose weight, I will cry." Mikako said, patting Kazuma on the shoulder.

Kazuma grabbed her hand and came closer to smell it: "Well, it smells like the shower gel. You've already taken a shower, so you won't come to the swimsuit party in the mixed bath tonight."

"Eh? Why don't you let me go? I can wash it again!"

Tamamo: "Wash it so many times, it's not good for your skin. Especially hot spring water, which contains a lot of minerals, your skin will become wrinkled after soaking for a long time."

"Really? I don't believe it!" Mikako said, "I'll try it again later."

At this time, Kazuma happened to see Ms. Umashima passing by the aisle behind the hotel lobby with a hotel maid, so he shouted: "Mastress! I want to reserve a mixed bath tonight, and Qiansoni Music will reimburse it."

"No problem." Ms. Umashima gestured OK to Kazuma.

Mikako looked back at Ms. Umashima and said to Kazuma: "Since we have reserved a mixed bath, there is no need for a swimsuit. How about just taking a bath?"

At this moment, Kazuma's mind flashed to a welfare scene that would surely appear in the eighth episode of a general romantic comedy.

Okay, it seems possible?

Tamamo: "Mikako, it's good to be honest, but don't you think too many steps have been omitted?"

"Hey~ Actually, it's Eggman. You bought a new swimsuit and you want to show it off to Kazuma! I understand! I've already shown it off today!"

Kazuma thought about it for a moment, and realized that Tamamo's swimsuit, which she had just peeked through the sweat-soaked tube of her skirt, did indeed look different from the one she wore when she went to the beach last year.

Tamamo: "Mikako actually got it right for once. It's really rare."

"What do you mean, that's too much!" Mikako pouted, but immediately laughed again, "Okay, I'll tell Honami and ask her to prepare her swimsuit. There's no need to say anything about Seiruru, Kazuma won't think about it anyway. Look at her swimsuit.”

Kazuma: "Actually, I quite want to see it."

The scene instantly became cold, with both Mikako and Tamamo staring at him.

Mikako: "Kazuma, is it possible that you also want to see Miss Ami's swimsuit?"

"No, forget that." Kazuma maintained his bottom line as a human being.

Tamamo smiled and said, "It scared me. I thought I should call the police."

"Danzi, have you realized that what you just said hurt Sister Ganzhong more?" Mikako said, "Fortunately, she was not present."

Kazuma suddenly wanted to tease Mikako: "Mikako, look behind."

Mikako turned her head without warning: "What?"

Of course there was no one behind, but Mikako didn't yell immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze downwards and looked at the ground.

"Kazuma, you're kidding me!" She turned around and yelled at Kazuma.

"What you did just now was extremely rude to Miss Gan Middle School!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Senior Miu Amanaka suddenly appeared in the aisle behind the lobby, holding a popsicle in her hand.

Kazuma smiled and said: "Nothing, nothing."

"Hmph, I could have guessed it even if you didn't tell me. Anyway, I am short and have the body shape of a primary school student. I have long been used to it."

After finishing speaking, middle school girl Gan stuck out her tongue and licked the popsicle.

Kazuma joked: "Senior, how long will it take for your little tongue to lick the whole thing?"

"I couldn't help it. I was so cold that my head hurt all of a sudden. I could only lick the popsicles, so a lot of them melted and dripped on the ground."

"Isn't it a pity?"

"It's no shame, it's cheap after all." The little rich woman said nonchalantly.

Mikako took out the popsicle stick that had been in her mouth: "Senior sister, you can lick it faster, like this, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah."

Tamamo: "Pfft."

Kazuma and Mikako turned to look at Tamamo.

Tamamo maintained Yamato Nadeshiko's dignity, and seemed a little confused as to why the two of them suddenly looked over.

"Is there something on my face?" she asked.

Kazuma: "It's nothing. I know you are Yamato Nadeshiko. You have received professional training. No matter how funny you are, you will never laugh."

Mikako once again performed the "super light speed popsicle licking": "Bah, bah, bah..."

But Tamamo showed extremely high professionalism this time, being dignified and elegant.

Mikako: "No, it's boring."

Miu Amanaka was staring at the popsicle in her hand, seeming to be mentally building up and preparing to practice the trick Mikako gave her.

"Just ignore that monkey." Qingliu walked over from the vending machine holding a popsicle.

"Qing Liu Liu, do you only use licking?" Mikako asked.

"Of course not." Qingliu opened his mouth, revealing a pair of white but not very neat teeth, and bit off a third of the popsicle with a click, leaving a little bit of the wood core in the middle of the popsicle exposed.

"Oh, Seiryu's eating style is so rock-n-roll! She is indeed a rock-and-roll girl who plays the guitar with her mouth!" Mikako said in an exaggerated tone and expression as if she had transformed into a comedy variety show host.

Qingliu sighed: "Not everyone who plays rock music can play the guitar with their mouth or smash the piano on stage. Rock music also has different genres."

Mikako: "What school are you in, Seiruru?"

Seiryu: "Shinto Wu Nian Ryu."

"I didn't ask you about the school of swordsmanship! Just give me a little bit!" Mikako complained like a man.

Seiryu ignored him and looked at Kazuma: "How long are you going to stand outside the hotel? Isn't it hot?"

Kazuma then stepped into the hotel door.

Qingliu continued to ask: "How is it at the shrine? Have you bought any plaster for bruises?"

Kazuma went to the shrine because he wanted to investigate the folk beliefs here and see what was going on with the shrine god whom Tamamo didn't know. But only he and Tamamo knew about this purpose. Others just thought they were going to buy plaster and learn about the festival.

"I found something interesting..." He Ma paused. He always felt that it was not good to call things about dead people interesting, so he changed his words and said, "I found something unusual."

"Oh?" Qingliu narrowed his eyes, obviously interested.

Senior Miu Amanaka was even more excited than she was: "Is someone summoning an alien god to come?"

Kazuma then remembered that Miu Amanaka was the president of the New Kaidan Research Association, although he had been ousted from real power by Tamamo.

"No la……"

Just as Kazuma was about to speak, Mikako interrupted: "It's a murder! If the detective stays at a hotel in such a remote village, there will definitely be a murder!"

"It's not murder. But last year..."

Kazuma recounted what happened to Meiji University’s Fantasy Creature Research Society last year.

Mikako: "It's a murder!"

"Shut up." Kazuma flicked her forehead, and then asked the others, "Where is Hanayama-kun? He is also from Meiji University. I want to ask him if he has heard about this."

Usually when someone dies, there will be some rumors in the school.

Even just hearsay may help seekers discover the truth.

Seiryu: "Kanayama-kun seems to have diarrhea. He should be in the toilet now. There is a super spicy drink in the vending machine produced by a small factory in a nearby town. Don't order it."

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Super spicy drink?"

"Yes, Mr. Hanayama said, 'I've never heard of spicy drinks, I must try them.' He bought a can and then went to the toilet."

He Ma was speechless and wondered, could this drink use the same spray formula as Wallace's roast chicken?

Mikako: "I can understand Hanashan-kun's thinking!"

Qingliu: "Why do you also want to have a can? I can sponsor the money to buy the drinks."

"Forget it, we have a swimsuit party in the mixed bathing pool tonight. I don't want to be in the pool... ah!"

Kazuma covered Mikako's mouth with his hands: "Shut up! That scene is so disgusting. We have to stay here for three more weeks. Don't make it so that no one wants to go to the hot springs in the future!"

"Swimsuit party?" Seiryu looked at Kazuma with disdain, "Humph, man."

Kazuma: "You don't have to come. Anyway, you're such a rock and roll, so everyone can understand why you don't fit in with others."

Qingliu bit off another piece of the popsicle in one bite and chewed it, as if she didn't hear Kazuma's words.

Tamamo suddenly asked: "Where are Honami and Chiyoko, what are they doing?"

"Xiaoqian called Amao in the phone room." Qingliu said, "Honami didn't know, she was always in the room."

"She is doing the project assigned by the professor," Mikako said, "Keio is really miserable, and there are still homework during the summer vacation. By the way, Danzi, did you miss someone else?"

Kazuma: "Who?"

Tamamo: "Ah, Hinami, what is she doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanli Cai rubbed his sleepy eyes and came down from the second floor - there are three stairs in this hotel, one of which is in the lobby.

"You slept so well, can you have dinner?" After she asked, she realized that everyone was looking at her, "Huh? I...what's wrong with me?"

Mikako: "Are you awake? You slept for a long time. Please tidy up quickly. We are going back to Tokyo soon."

Kazuma lightly hit Mikako on the head with a knife: "If she really falls asleep for three weeks, we can't be so calm!"

"That's right. Then I'll do it all over again, Rinainaicai! You finally woke up, but you were worried about me!"

No one paid attention to Mikako's embarrassing performance

Tamamo smiled and said to Hinami Rina: "We should be able to eat soon. There will be a swimsuit party in the mixed bathing pool tonight. Hinami, did you bring your swimsuit?"

"Bring it, bring it!" Hinami Rina seemed to suddenly wake up, looking at Kazuma with a proud smile, "I bought a super bold style this time!"

Kazuma thought to himself, I'll see how bold he is later.

It's not that he's bragging, he Kiryu and Marco have seen a lot, and they've seen all kinds of bold swimsuits - just in the game of life or death beach volleyball.

**

An hour and a half later, Kazuma confirmed that Hinami Rina's swimsuit was indeed very bold.

He sat directly into the pool, not daring to get up because it would be too embarrassing.

Hinami Rina looked at the other people's swimsuits one by one, then clenched her fists and put on a "won" expression.

If her face hadn't been so red, the onlookers would have thought she was the kind of carnivorous girl who has experienced many battles.

Tamamo smiled and said: "As expected of a former graphic model, she can wear such a bold swimsuit."

"That, of course."

"You used to dress like this and take pictures of people, right?" Tamamo asked again.

"No, no! There is no such bold swimsuit!"

"Hey, it turns out that I was photographed wearing a not-so-daring swimsuit."

"What are you saying! It's just an ordinary bikini!"

While Tamamo was teasing Hinami, Honami entered the bath and sat next to Kazuma.

She was wearing a light yellow bikini with a beautiful bow tied on the straps.

Kazuma: "You can't swim in a string bikini like this and the strings will untie you halfway through swimming?"

"No, the bows on the laces are just for decoration and are sewn shut." Honami smiled, "There are indeed styles where the knots on the laces are genuine, but that kind of wear is not for swimming. "

"You know so well?"

"These bridal practices will all talk about how to enhance the interest in married life. This is a very important part of bridal practices."

"Really?" Kazuma scratched his head.

This is not the same as the bridal training he had in mind that the eldest lady accepted. Aren't those just teaching flower arrangements and that's all? The eldest lady should have absolutely zero knowledge in that area to fit the setting, right?

But then he thought about it, even in comics, there are eldest ladies like Fujiwara Chika who know everything, so he decided not to worry about it.

Opposite Kazuma, Haruyu sat on the edge of the pool, tapping the water with her feet while strumming the guitar in her arms - she borrowed an acoustic guitar that was not afraid of water from Sonny Music who also stayed at the hotel.

Of course, the acoustic guitar doesn't seem to work if the strings get wet, but just change the strings and it will be fine.

At this time, Chiyoko also got out of the bathhouse from Seiryu in a swimsuit. When she saw Kazuma staring at her, she poured a handful of water over and said, "Don't look, I'm your sister!"

"It's also my brother's responsibility to make sure my sister is developing properly."

Chiyoko made a face at Kazuma, and then let the water cover her shoulders, so that the graceful youthful curves were completely invisible.

At this time, Honami whispered in Kazuma's ear and asked: "Have you asked Hanayama-kun about the Fantastic Creature Research Society?"

Although Honami was not there when Kazuma came back from the shrine, she took the seat next to Kazuma during the meal, so Kazuma told her the cause and effect while eating.

Kazuma sighed: "I went to ask, but Hanashan-kun seemed to be busy at the time, so I didn't bother him."

This is a euphemism. In fact, Huashangjun was still in the toilet when Kazuma went to ask.

Kazuma originally planned to ask through the door, but he just said a word. There was a crackling sound from inside. Just listening to it was so disgusting that he had to give up first.

Honami thought for a few seconds and then asked: "What are your thoughts? There should be a preliminary guess, right?"

"The Lord's reaction was a little strange, especially when I asked him where he read Torajiro's story. The pause was a bit... Tamamo said that it was a normal pause for ordinary people when they encountered unexpected problems."

"Well... I didn't see the scene, so I can't say which one of you is right. Well, I'll go along with it. I just want to complete the subject in three times, five and two, and then I can play with it."

Kazuma comforted Honami and said, "It's okay. We are staying here for three weeks. There are plenty of opportunities to act together."

Honami smiled: "Your statement seems to confirm that something will happen in these three weeks.

"But maybe it was really an accident a year ago. The Lord was just a little nervous after his son went to Tokyo and lived alone for too long.

"And those old wives' tales of demon foxes are just common stories in the countryside to scare children into going home early at night."

Kazuma turned to look at Honami, and for a moment he wanted to tell her that in the future there would be a story show in China called "Into Science" that focused on explaining the weird folk legends into what she just said.

Honami also looked at Kazuma, as if she was waiting for him to speak.

But Kazuma couldn't talk about the future, so he could only improvise: "Well... your collarbone can actually hold water."

Honami's body fat rate should be very low. Although she has such a good figure, there is still an obvious depression in her collarbone, and there can be "water accumulation".

Kazuma: "I kinda want to use your collarbone to drink wine!"

Honami laughed out loud: "What the hell! It sounds like what a barbarian said."

"What? Where are the barbarians?" Mikako ran into the pool with a roar and sat down on the other side of Kazuma. "Honami, you know, today Kazuma carried me first and then Eggman. I'll follow you. Tell me, when you lie on his back, you will feel that the back is so wide, the muscles are so strong, and you feel so safe!"

Kazuma: "How about I get up first, Honami, you give her a good beating first, and then I can enjoy hugging her from left to right."

Mikako: "Hmph, it sounds like you are hugging me right now. Kazuma, you talk about being pretty and awesome, but actually..."

Kazuma put his right hand around Mikako's shoulder. Not to mention, her shoulder was slippery and felt quite good.

Then he put his left hand around Honami.

The bodies of the two girls leaned directly against Kazuma's ribs, and it felt...a little bit good!

Just as Kazuma was about to drift off, Seiryu, who was sitting across from him, complained: "Kazuma now looks like the kind of middle-aged man who has two barmaids in a club just to show off his wealth. He just has a kappa-like head on his head." The same bald one."

Mikako burst out laughing: "Qingliu Liu is easy to understand!"

Just as Kazuma was about to fight back, he heard a sound like a wolf howling in the distance outside the fence of the mixed bathing pool.

The bathhouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked up at the top of the fence.

The mixed bathing pool is open-air, surrounded by a two-meter-high fence, and the night sky above is full of moonlight and stars.

"Howling wolves?" Qingliu muttered, "Isn't this place... just three or four hours' drive from Tokyo? Are there wolves here?"

Just as Kazuma was about to reply, more wolf howls came from the distant mountains as if echoing the alpha wolf.
