Chapter 9 Chapter One

It takes about 30 minutes to "climb" by taxi from the small village in the mountains of Hokuriku, and then we arrive at the hotel on the mountainside.The name of the hotel is "Fengmeizhuang". It was founded in the fifth year of Genroku. It is an old store with a history of more than 300 years.Since ancient times, it has been a hot spring resort used by the nobles of Kaga million stones and the officials of the capital to recuperate. Inside the main entrance surrounded by white brick and gray walls, there are three historic buildings lined up.These buildings have been rebuilt several times since their completion, and in order not to lose their traditional style, huge sums of money have been invested in each reconstruction.Behind the building sits a beautifully designed garden.When it comes to Hokuriku, people think of Kenrokuen in Kanazawa.However, the garden of Fengmeizhuang is better than Kenrokuen in terms of scale and the scenery inside.If you consider that Fengmeizhuang is located on the mountainside, you will realize that the manpower and material resources spent on it are far more than Kenrokuen.The beauty of this garden is comparable to the three-color open-air hot spring created by the legendary Kobo Daishi.

Autumn is getting stronger and November is coming to an end.Two female college students, Noriko Terasaki and Emi Yasunaga, had planned their graduation trip ahead of schedule and came to Fengmeizhuang at this time. Ji Zi opened the window on the second floor, and a gust of cool wind passed through the snow-capped mountains and hit her face. In an instant, her cheeks were frozen cold.Noriko couldn't help covering her face with her ring-wearing hand.In November, the weather here can be so cold, which is almost unimaginable in Tokyo.However, the appropriate stimulation away from the hustle and bustle of the city actually refreshed Ji Zi.

Leaning your hands against the window, you can see the Japanese-style garden below which Fumeiso is proud of.In a huge garden, the jungle and the gravel road are trimmed in an orderly manner as the terrain undulates.In the gourd-shaped pool, a trickling stream flows slowly.A wooden bridge is built over the creek, and its upstream is a magical waterfall.The whole scene is like a picture that can only be seen in the album of tourist attractions.Undoubtedly, all of this is not a natural landscape in this col - the creeks and waterfalls are all artificially created.However, such artificial products can free the viewer from daily trivialities.Perhaps this is the so-called "washing of the soul".

Guests staying in the garden walk by the pool in twos and threes.The season for viewing red leaves is over, and there are not many tourists at this time. "How is it? Are you satisfied?" Tumei asked behind her. Kiko turned her head and saw Tumei lying lazily on the tatami, that posture was really hurtful.She held the TV remote in her hand and switched channels as she spoke. "Satisfied," Noriko replied frankly, "I feel much better. Thank you, Emi." "When you encounter something unpleasant, you have to come out to relax. There seems to be an open-air bath here. I heard that the hot spring here has the effect of beautifying and relieving fatigue."

"Let's not talk about beauty, how can there be a hot spring that doesn't relieve fatigue? But I find it strange how Emi knows about such an ancient place." Tumei is a famous traveler. Every time the season changes, she always takes a long-distance trip for about a week.She usually goes overseas, most of which are the Romantic Road on the Rhine and the Gamelang Music Tour in Bali.This shows Emi's character of pursuing style and paying attention to ostentation. "I don't always travel overseas, and I know places like this very well." After finishing speaking, Tumei pouted her lips covered in violet lipstick and smiled, "Actually, I didn't know this place before." I know. I remember telling you before that he introduced it, and I’m not that well-informed. However, domestic travel is also very good.”

"It's really thanks to Tumei, otherwise I would not be able to stay in such a good hotel. It is said that strangers are refused to stay here, and they must be introduced by acquaintances." Kiko closed the window and sat next to Emi. "It's nothing special, I just can't bear to see my friend down - and rightfully so." For an ordinary person like Ji Zi, the threshold of Fengmeizhuang is too high, and he may never have the chance to do so in his whole life.This time, thanks to the introduction of Emi's boyfriend, Noriko was able to stay at a very cheap price.Moreover, it seems that the discount is limited to Kiko, and Emi, the daughter of the president of the trading company, must also pay the original price.

Tumei's boyfriend comes from a wealthy family, and Noriko only met once at a school celebration.The impression at the time was that he looked very decent in a casual suit custom-made by the royal brand "Tokiwa Tailor".Other students also felt the same way. Unknowingly, among the female students, they did not call her by name in private, but called him "he who wears high-end casual clothes". "Also, I've always wanted to go on a graduation trip with Noriko. Originally I planned to go to Athens, but isn't it better here?" The two will graduate from a women's university in Tokyo next March.In April, Kiko will work in a bank; Tumei will study courses related to "Bride's Assistant".

"But," Tumei seemed to want to change the subject, she casually threw the remote control aside, "Is it really Saito's fault?" Emi looked at Noriko with those charming eyes with long eyelashes. "I don't know." Kiko replied truthfully without confidence, "Maybe I'm oversensitive." Noriko broke up with Saito Chen in August.The reason is that the other party had sex with other women and was condemned by Kiko; but this man in turn committed violence against Kiko.However, before that, Kiko had already given up hope, so the blow of breaking up was not as heavy as imagined.The problem is that after that, there was a period of time when Saito kept calling, forcing him to resume the relationship, which also included some threatening language.In this regard, Kiko firmly refused.However, from October onwards, the calls suddenly stopped.It seemed that the other party finally gave up, and Ji Zi felt a little relieved.

However, from then on, Kiko began to feel that someone seemed to be watching him all the time.Needless to say when going out, even when you close the curtains and rest in your room, you can always feel the existence of that line of sight.Mother just comforted her blindly: "That's your illusion, it's because of the trauma left after the quarrel and breakup." Since this is the case, Kiko no longer pays too much attention to this matter, so as not to worry her parents too much.Also, nothing concrete happened, so no police were called.In the end, Kiko hid the problem in her heart.As a result, her mood has been very bad.At this time, Tumei invited Noriko to go on a trip together.

"A man who hits someone when he is angry is the most worthless." Tumei seems to have had the same experience, showing disgust from the bottom of her heart.Having said that, Kiko found that, in terms of love, she seldom heard Emi take the initiative to talk about her own experience.During these four years, Kiko often took the initiative to discuss with Emi. "I've only met Tumei's boyfriend once, and he seems to be very elegant and gentlemanly, very enviable." "It's not bad," Tumei was not embarrassed, "but I have suffered a lot before."

"Really? Ah, to live in such a nice place, please pass on my thanks to him!" "Then tell him directly yourself. He will come here too." Hearing what Emi said, Noriko was taken aback. "Ah! Really? Why didn't you say it earlier!" "I'm sorry, didn't I tell you? I mentioned Kiko to him, and he said he could discuss it with you." "You told him that I met a stalker?" Ji Zi asked with a downcast face. So Tumei lowered her voice, "It's all my fault. I think you can get his help." "This kind of thing... It's just that I think too much. Maybe I'm being regarded as too victimized." Kiko took the initiative to express his uneasiness, "Perhaps, he put the Did I introduce you here?" "It's okay, don't think too much. He won't think that way. He listened to my introduction very carefully. He is very trustworthy and will definitely help Kiko." Noriko knew that Emi had good intentions.Reluctantly, she picked up the teapot and poured a cup of green tea, took a sip, and stabilized her mood. "So when is he coming? Not right away?" Otherwise, Kiko must immediately remake up.Since the morning, he has been running on the road, and his face is already full of tiredness. However, Tumei said calmly: "Don't worry, don't worry. Don't you think I don't understand? Let him see this embarrassed look, I am more embarrassed than Ji Zi." "Indeed." Seeing her sleepy and unkempt appearance, Kiko sat down again. "Maybe tomorrow. He's busy and hasn't set a date yet. He said he'd call..." "It turns out that it has not been confirmed! In this way, isn't it very exciting?" "Wouldn't it be better to come later? He's here, what's the point of traveling with Kiko!" "Thank you for being so thoughtful." Noriko couldn't help but thank Emi from the bottom of her heart.For two months, her spirits had been sluggish. "Stop talking about this!" Tumei smiled, "Look, it's so boring to stay in the room. Why don't you go for a walk outside? When I came here, I saw a very beautiful garden outside." Kiko has no objection to this. "What a big garden!" The two of them took a walk in the yard for a while, and sat in the pavilion in front to rest.Emi grumbled - she took off her high heels and massaged her heels clumsily. "If I knew it earlier, I would change a pair of shoes to avoid this kind of crime." "Looking at it from the room, I don't think it will be like this." Kiko also agreed.The courtyard looks very open and flat, but after all, it is in the mountains, and the road is much more difficult than expected.Unlike Emi, Noriko wore short boots, but even so, her heels were sore. "... Walking here every day, I will definitely lose weight." Touching her slender waist, Tumei talked about the troubles of "luxury". Because she was always like this, Noriko didn't pay attention. "However, the scenery is really unusual and very distinctive. Perhaps because it is on the mountain, it is different from the garden in the temple." Kiko imagined that if this kind of scenery was seen by those students who like temples, how would they feel. "Yes, every tree and every path seems to have been carefully taken care of. The road is very clean, and there is no branch scattered. After walking so tired, it should be very comfortable to take a hot spring... Yes, it is said that the hot spring here has beauty benefits The effect—maybe it’s because I walked in the garden before and exercised my body.” "Temi, if you say that, you will offend Hot Spring... Let's go back." Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ji Zi urged.According to the terrain map provided by the hotel, the pavilion is located in the center of the garden.If you keep going, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch dinner. Tumei, whose soreness in the soles of her feet had reached its limit, immediately replied: "I'm also thinking about going back. I can save the scenery from here until tomorrow. I planned to stay here for four days at the beginning, and I thought it would be boring. Now it seems To visit them all, four days may not be enough.” At this time, someone suddenly greeted them: "Oh, girls!" Looking forward, I saw a tall man in a down jacket standing at the door.He was about thirty years old, with a slender face, pointed eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a slightly serious face that was somewhat neutralized by the drooping corners of his eyes.The man called himself Akira Matsuno. "Are you two here to travel?" the man asked with a camera in one hand.That camera was different from the small digital camera that Noriko and the others had, it was a professional camera with a huge lens on it.Before Kiko and the others could answer, the man pointed the camera at the two of them, "Come and take a photo, okay?" "Stop, what are you going to do?!" Emei said firmly.Matsuno hurriedly put away the camera. "Ah, I'm sorry! I want to take a picture of my trip. I have to take a picture of such a beautiful girl. Please forgive me if I make you angry." "We are very angry!" Seemingly sensing that the other party is not a bad person, Emi's tone softened.But more importantly, Emi always appears gentle in front of handsome men—Matsuno is just such a handsome man. "Then, I won't take pictures. Excuse me, the two of you are..." Tumei explained that she was here early for her graduation trip. "So you two are college students! Well, now is the happiest moment for you, and you have enough time to enjoy it. You don't have to endure the cold eyes around you like me, and you can only travel with paid leave. Fengmeizhuang is famous , and there is also the Butterfly Array Festival here. I plan to take a good look at it. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when I can come again.” Saying that, Matsuno picked up the camera. "Butterfly Festival?" Tumei asked back.It was also the first time Noriko had heard of it. "Don't you know? Then why did you come here to see it in the cold?!" Matsuno raised his slender eyebrows exaggeratedly. "Didn't I say that I'm here for a graduation trip?" "Oh, yes." Matsuno waved his right hand in front of his eyes, and then explained, "The Butterfly Array Festival is an annual festival held in the stalactite cave opposite the mountain." According to Matsuno, the Butterfly Array Festival will be held the day after tomorrow in the stalactite cave known as the "Butterfly Array Cave" on the hillside of Mount Lumi, which can also be seen from here. It is a goma burning ceremony .There is a thick hole in the cave leading directly to the surface.Due to the air pressure, the burned plant ash will be sprayed along the hole to the ground in large quantities.People predict the luck of the coming year according to the spewing of plant ash.The scene is just like countless butterflies flying in the air, hence the name "Butterfly Array Festival". "It sounds a little too simple. Is it a bit far-fetched to compare plant ash to a butterfly?" Tumei responded unexpectedly coldly. "This kind of thing has recently become a topic among young people. It is said that if a young couple gets ash on their bodies, they can never separate. As early as the Edo period, there was a legend about a pair of young people who were not recognized. When the ash fell on the When they were on them, they immediately turned into a pair of butterflies, accompanied by each other, and disappeared into the air." "Is that really the case? But what falls is not a butterfly, but plant ash. It's really dirty." "You are very realistic!" Matsuno smiled wryly, "Cinderella is also dressed in gray, which makes her even more attractive." "Really? If I had to choose, I'd rather like Snow White. Didn't Cinderella marry a prince who couldn't even remember what she looked like? That would be an absolute misfortune." Tumei seems to be emphasizing that Cinderella has a huge physical and mental trauma. "I think that the prince who came up to kiss the other party while he was asleep is also a complete pervert—isn't this a bit of a stalker?" Hearing the stalker, Noriko could not help but tremble all over.However, the other two didn't notice it and continued talking. "However, we didn't see young couples here. Instead, we met middle-aged couples. Mr. Matsuno was the youngest among them." "They all live in a village at the foot of the mountain. It's a long way from here, and this place doesn't accept ordinary tourists. I also managed to squeeze in through some acquaintances of the company. Like the Butterfly Array Festival, I also very much I want to take a look at this garden. By the way, if you can live here, you must be the daughters of a big family? No wonder you are not interested in Cinderella, who has reached the sky in one step." Kiko wanted to refute, but kept her mouth shut.It doesn't hurt the overall situation if the other party understands it this way. "Then, Matsuno-san, are you going alone?" "You just mentioned the pain point. I can only say that the purpose of my coming is not to bathe in plant ash, but if I can bathe in plant ash, that would be great. I am looking for a girlfriend now, and I welcome you if you are interested." "If you want to..." Matsuno seemed flirtatious.Noriko was a little uncomfortable, while Tumei struck up a conversation with the other party nonchalantly.Matsuno also seems to pay more attention to Emi, and doesn't pay attention to Noriko at all. "We two girls, what's the point of going to that place." As she said, Tumei seemed a little hesitant.Of course, she didn't intend to go with Matsuno."He" will come tomorrow, so Tumei has to be scruples. "Do you know that just today, Michio Osugi came here." As if feeling out of luck, Matsuno suddenly changed the subject. "Osugi Michio? Is that the writer? Is he really here?" This topic aroused Emi's interest. "Of course it's true. It's Michio Osugi who often appears in film and television dramas and variety shows." "Isn't it an imposter? A few years ago, wasn't someone arrested for this?" Tumei looked at Matsuno suspiciously. "Are you talking about the guy who pretends to be a celebrity and cheats food and drink? He looks a lot like Michio Osugi... But this time, it's the real thing. Naoki Dojima also came together." "Nakaki Dojima!" Noriko couldn't help shouting.She is a fan of Dojima. "Are those two people on good terms? They often quarrel on TV. Naoki Dojima has a terrible personality, and he always contradicts Mr. Osugi. He's so eccentric." Emi cursed viciously. "Acting, that's all acting. They must have a good relationship. If the relationship is not good, it is impossible to cooperate together. Thanks to Osugi, Dojima was able to appear on TV." Matsuno said with a smile, as if he knew the inside story very well. "I like Mr. Osugi very much, and I often record his programs to enjoy." "Is that true?" Noriko asked unexpectedly, she had never heard Emi say that before. "Excellent acting and handsome. What should I do if he woos me?" "Isn't he coming tomorrow?" "He is he, and now is now." "How could this be?" Ji Zi thought to himself.Of course, she didn't say it, and she didn't show it. "Look," Matsuno pointed to the right, "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, that's him." Across the pond, a man wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker appeared.Tumei narrowed her eyes and watched for a moment. "Sure enough, it's really Mr. Osugi himself." Emi shouted loudly, put on her high heels and stood up. "Hey, let's go and have a look." Emi pulled Noriko's arm forcefully. "It's bad luck! It's better not to tell her, but to run away with others. It's really a disaster." Matsuno simply packed up the camera and left in the opposite direction. The pain just now has long been forgotten in the back of my mind.Tumei dragged Kiko to Osugi at a speed she had never seen in four years.Osugi was taken aback by this sudden scene. "Are you Mr. Osugi? I often see you on TV. A few days ago, I read your "Love in Love". I have always been your fan." Although not as good as Dojima, Noriko has also read some books by Michio Osugi. "Love in Love" is Osugi's famous work, which won a literary award and was published ten years ago. "I have always been a fan", but I just read the masterpiece a few days ago.Tumei didn't seem to notice the contradiction. "I agree with the decision made by the protagonist Satsuko. I cried all day that day." When she had finished speaking, she held out her right hand for a handshake. "Thank you for supporting me." Seemingly accustomed to the siege of fans, Osugi replied with a low but bright voice, and stretched out his hand readily.Osugi in front of him was a little thinner than what he saw on TV.It is said that TV can make people look fat, and it seems to be true.But even in the TV screen, Osugi is still very thin, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.He had a rational, scholarly face, with tight features and a prominent chin that gave him an appearance of intelligence. From this point of view, perhaps the real Dojima will be even more handsome.Unlike the intellectual Osugi, Dojima looks a bit rough and has a wild charm - Noriko can't help but think of Dojima who is strong, serious and dignified. "So as I said, wearing this kind of light-colored sunglasses will be seen through immediately. No matter how you disguise yourself, it won't help." A gentle voice came from behind the bamboo fence behind Dashan.A woman in a light purple kimono appeared in front of her.As she said, Osugi was wearing a hat and a pair of sunglasses on his nose.His eyes can be seen through the light brown sunglasses, which are barely "hidden" and can be recognized from a distance. "But," Osugi said awkwardly, scratching his neck anxiously - this is his habitual action on TV, "If it is black sunglasses, it will look a lot like the underworld." "That's true. Ah, I'm sorry!" "Dojima used to tease me like this, saying that if I wore sunglasses, I would look like an intellectual gangster. In fact, that Dojima was so uneducated that he looked like a vagrant." "Excuse me, is this Madam?" Osugi's words caused a burst of laughter, and then Tumei asked respectfully. "Yes. My name is Machiko. Thank you very much for your great support to my husband!" Madam expressed her gratitude in a generous manner.The straight waist, like a teacher of art, looks extremely tasteful. "I'm very sorry for interrupting you." The other party was polite, and Tumei seemed to feel that she was inferior and a little rash, so she hurriedly waved her hand. "Ah, it's very rare for young girls to come here! You see, there are some elderly people here. So, you are here to see the Butterfly Array Festival? I heard that this is very popular among young girls .” It seems that what Matsuno said is indeed true. "No, we're here for a graduation trip. I just heard about the festival. The young couple bathed in plant ashes and vowed never to be separated. It's really romantic, just like those scenes in Mr.'s book." Tumei's reaction was completely different from before. "But, you don't seem to be interested in festival activities." Osugi was very sensitive and asked a little strangely. "We're both girls. And, to be honest, my partner is doing the sad tour. Her boyfriend who broke up..." "Hey!" Ji Zi hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late. "Has turned into a stalker." "stalker?" This seems to have aroused Osugi's great interest.He had been staring at Emi, but now he turned to Kiko suddenly.Noriko noticed that his slender eyes were shining brightly behind the sunglasses. "Because of work, this topic interests me. Stalking is also a reaction to being in love. However, this is very painful for me. Sorry." "Don't mind, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, I hope to get your help." For some reason, Tumei always answered first.Her thoughts are completely different from Ji Zi's, "Ki Zi is also willing to discuss with you, isn't she? Mr. is an expert in love issues, and maybe he can get a satisfactory answer." Kiko felt a little uneasy in her heart, but told the story frankly. "Did you call the police?" "No, maybe it's my illusion." "Oh, the police may judge the same way. They are all impersonal guys. At the same time, if the other party is provoked, things will worsen. But even so, if left unchecked, the other party will feel unnoticed and the action will become more serious. Upgrade. What should I do..." Osugi frowned, stroked his pointed chin, and thought seriously.After a long time, he raised his head. "How long do you plan to stay here?" "Estimated to stay until Saturday." Emi replied. "Then, please let me think about it, and maybe I will have a good suggestion. I'm sorry, please forgive me for being a mediocre person with only a name. There are many things written in the novel, but when it comes to practical issues, the situation is completely different. In reality, people You won't do things according to my intention." Osugi scratched his head embarrassingly. "Please don't say that. It's too much trouble for you." "No, I haven't been exposed to this kind of subject matter for a long time. Therefore, I still need your help." "Yes. My husband has been busy shooting TV recently, but he has neglected his job. If this continues, his brain will age rapidly. So, please help him exercise his brain." Machiko also came over and said. Noriko could no longer refuse. "However, it's a pity that I can't go to the Butterfly Array Festival because of the stalker." Osugi said regretfully. "That's true. I really don't have that kind of mood right now. But, doesn't Tumi really want to see it?" Kiko said sarcastically as revenge for Tumi's revealing of the secret. "Why do I want to go?!" "Oh, we also came with others. I don't know how attractive the Butterfly Array Festival itself is. Besides, we are already at this age. It would be ridiculous to swear to love each other forever in front of others." "No way! Madam is very beautiful, and she is a perfect match with husband. It is a natural match. Having such an outstanding husband is really enviable." Tumei said immediately.It is rare for Emi, who doesn't say compliments so easily, to praise others like this. "Thank you very much! Even though it's a compliment, I'm also very happy. That being said, Dojima is eager to try it out, and wants to see it. He also specially called his girlfriend from Tokyo, and threatened to take a bath in the ashes." Hearing that Dojima has a girlfriend, Noriko feels a sense of loss.At this moment, along the gravel path, three figures walked over.Due to the backlight, it was not very clear, but the one in front seemed to be Naoki Dojima. "Hey, what are you doing?" Dojima, wearing a windbreaker, greeted the Osugi couple with a bold voice. "Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here." Dashan looked at Tangjima with a smile on his face. "Look, look, is he talking bad about me again with his expression? Hey, who are these girls?" As imagined in advance, Dojima himself looks much thinner than on TV.On the rough face, the cheekbones are not as prominent as imagined. "They are female college students staying here, and they are said to be my fans." Osugi explained. "As I said, you are very famous when you shouldn't be famous, so be careful!" "Machiko was still reminding me just now, so you don't need to talk too much." These words sound harsh, but there is a bit of kindness in the tone.Kiko breathed a sigh of relief. "I said, it's your fault, don't dream about cute girls. But why don't so many young girls become my fans?" "Walking all over Japan, there may be three or two of your fans. You have to be patient." "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Dojima pursed his bearded mouth and said to Kiko, "Good girl, be my fan instead! I will give you the dedication of the next work .” At this moment, it was difficult for Kiko to tell that she had long been a fan of Dojima, so she could only reply: "I will seriously consider it." In the next moment, she regretted losing this biggest and last chance. "Oh, this lady looks a lot like Mr. Osugi." Emi pointed to the woman behind Dojima. "This is my sister-in-law, Machiko's younger sister, Sawako. The one next to her is her husband, Yoichi-kun. Actually, they proposed to come here." Osugi explained simply. "I'm meeting you for the first time. My name is Yoichi Mizuhashi." Mizuhashi greeted politely.Taking this opportunity, Noriko and Emi also introduced themselves. "Is Mizuhashi-san a writer too?" "No, I'm just an ordinary company employee." Mizuhashi denied it with a smile.Unlike Dojima, Osugi and others, although he does not have the demeanor of an entertainer, Yoichi appears simple and generous, and his tone is very approachable.Because of his round baby face, Yoichi looked as if he was only in his twenties, even though he was in his thirties. Sawako is a well-known stunning beauty, even women will fall for her.The elder sister Machiko is also a beauty, but because her temperament is too noble, she always seems to lack the necessary expressions.In contrast, Sawako is extremely attractive.It's not just the difference between wavy and straight hair, and it's not just the difference in makeup.The biggest difference between the sisters is the younger sister's firm eyes.Those big dark eyes that only Sawako have, let those who see her fall in love with them.Noriko, who is not good at remembering the other person's figure and appearance, can't forget these eyes.If classified, Sawako and Emi are of the same type.Their eyes sometimes make people tremble.Unfortunately, it's hard for Kiko to be the type of woman Machiko is. "I just heard that Mr. Mizuhashi and Miss Sawako are going to participate in the Butterfly Festival. So, Mr. Dojima is going with his girlfriend too?" Regarding Tumei's question, Mizuhashi and his wife immediately nodded in confirmation.On the contrary, Dojima stared at Osugi with wide eyes. "Hey, hey, did you say this too?" "What's the matter? Don't you often boast that you are not that kind of villain and never hide your relationship with your girlfriend?" "I'm not hiding it, but I don't want to publicize it in front of the girl I met for the first time! Say it to everyone, it can only be a stupid performance." "Two people go to the place where lovers gather to participate in the ceremony, which is no different from publicizing." "Oh, you're right." "Mr. Dojima, do you already have a sweetheart? What kind of person is it? Be sure to introduce it to us in two days." Sawako also urged unceremoniously with a smile. Dojima, on the other hand, lowered his head hesitatingly, avoiding everyone's sight—this is a scene that has never been seen on TV. "Isn't it surprising that Mr. Dojima, who is known for his fortitude on TV, is such a sweet romantic?" "Isn't Ms. Sawako the same? It was you, Ms. Sawako, who proposed to go to the Butterfly Array Festival first." "I'm just a romantic, and I have no intention of hiding it." "I never knew that Sawako was also a romantic. I always thought that Sawako was a very realistic person." For some reason, Mizuhashi said in a low voice with a gloomy face. "Why do you talk like this?! For the sake of eternal love, even if I am killed by the man I love deeply, I am willing. There used to be a heroine in the book "Flower Crown" by my brother-in-law, named Ayumi-san. She wove marguerite A crown was put on her head, and then she was killed. I admire her very much. Hey, don't you think so?" The object of Sawako's question is Kiko and Emi.As if she had never read that book, Tumei was at a loss for what to do.Noriko had only read the first volume before this trip—it was a bestseller that came out just last week. "Hey, hello! This young lady doesn't seem to have read that book yet. Don't tell me the ending." Dojima looked at Tumi and blamed her. "Really? Because she is a fan, I thought she had already read it." Zuo Hezi stuck out her tongue nonchalantly. "Didn't Ms. Sawako do the same thing in the past? There must be many people who haven't read the book just released last week." Osugi frowned and said to Kiko and Emi, "...I'm sorry! We said the ending. My apologies to everyone if you haven't read the full book." "You're welcome. I'm so surprised, Ayumi-san, was she killed?" Kiko couldn't help but yelled.She happened to read that the heroine married someone because she was young and immature, and then she finally separated from her husband. In a depressed restaurant, she had sex with a high school student ten years younger than herself.Ji Zi vaguely felt that this writer's novel should have a happy ending in the end.However, the heroine was killed by that man, which was beyond Kiko's expectation. "Do you want to know why Ayumi was killed?" Sawako seemed a little unwilling, and moved closer to Kiko again. Seeing this situation, Machiko, who had been silent all the time, reprimanded severely: "Sawako! Don't go too far." Machiko seemed to be scolding a kitten who had done something bad. "...I'm sorry!" Suddenly, Zuo Hezi lowered his head and remained silent.It is my sister's words that cannot be disobeyed. "Actually, I only finished the first volume, so this is the first time I heard the ending. She is a good person. Why do the heroines in your novel either bid farewell to her husband or commit suicide, always so unfortunate? You should give people more happiness. I think you lack love." Dojima said deliberately loudly as if trying to ease the atmosphere. "I just don't think it's interesting to write like that."
