Chapter 14 Four

I have to thank Satoshi for being able to get back to the room safely.If I were alone, even if I didn't take my life, I would probably lie in the hospital.I put Satoshi's shoulders on my shoulders and managed to get back to Xishanzhuang. Seeing this, Ibara screamed, "What's wrong with you, Oreki!?" However, I was still in a state of being unable to answer, so Satoshi explained for me: "I'm dizzy." "..." "I've never seen such a good-for-nothing. He didn't soak for half as long as I did, and when I looked back, he was already dizzy."

Ihara rubbed his forehead: "Oreki, you..." Thanks for your attention.I was carried into the room like this. Ibara had already made the mattress and opened the window.I stretched into big characters and took a deep breath. "...Sorry, both of you." "You're welcome." "This, this is too worthless... In the end, you still can't enjoy the life of activities." After speaking, the two walked out of the room.Needless to say, Ihara, this time I was really hopeless.Although I'm not strong, I'm not that physically weak either.It's probably because of motion sickness.

Just as I lay in big characters and closed my eyes, it seemed that someone walked into the room.A scent of shampoo hit my face, and I knew right away that it was Chitanda.Chitanda knelt down next to my pillow, and said, "Oreki-san...are you alright?" "not so good." "Shall I twist a towel for you?" Cold towels should be nice, but I can't ask for that. "No, you don't have to. I'm so sorry that I'm holding you back for a rare sleepover." "Where is it... We will start telling ghost stories later, Oreki-san, are you coming too?"

I smiled feebly.Ghost stories, what a nostalgic way to pass a summer night.Although I am more or less interested, I am afraid that it will not work now. While thinking this way, I opened my eyes, unexpectedly Chitanda's face was much closer than I thought.It seems that the personal space in the eyes of this eldest lady is even narrower than that of ordinary people.Being approached suddenly by this guy - similar situations have not happened once or twice.Not long after she got out of the bath, her cheeks were tinged with sakura, and her wet black hair was still glistening.Seeing this scene, I subconsciously looked away.

"Ah—I'm going to sleep." "It seems that there is no other way. Then, please take care of yourself." There was a crisp sound of closing the door, leaving only the aroma of shampoo in the room. Glancing at the clock, it's not even eight o'clock. There were strange sounds coming from the open windows.After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was the sound of frogs.It seemed that the rhythm of the taiko drum came from somewhere.Maybe it's because of the high terrain here. It's already August, and you can even hear the sound of insects when you look around.

In addition to these... Not long after, Rie's voice, which seemed to be deliberately lowered, also reached my ears.I guess the window next door is also open.Even if I don't try to listen, I can still hear the voice quite clearly... ——Don’t we have a main building and an annex here?Originally, there was no need to specially build this annex building.Then why is it still built? In fact, there is a secret here. When the hotel was still managed by grandma, there was a very gloomy guest here.Although he lives in Room 7 of the main building, he doesn't want us to provide meals or spread quilts, in short, he doesn't want to get close to him.Although grandma felt a little strange, but the guest had already paid for the room in advance, and it happened that the store was in peak season, so of course such a request was something she could not have wished for, so she agreed.

But that night, there was a sharp scream outside.Grandma was startled and ran out, only to see the walking guests pointing to Room No. 7.There was actually a hanged figure in the room, and that shadow was still swaying... Later, I heard that the hanged guest escaped here because he was greedy for the company's money. Since then, several guests who have lived in Room No. 7 all said that the room is haunted, and there will be ghosts appearing at night.Later, the ninth guest who lived in that room suddenly died of illness at night. So grandma asked someone to exorcise the evil spirits, so she couldn't feel at ease, so she built a supporting building.Don't spread these bad rumors.As for Room No. 7, you see, it is the room directly opposite the window, located at the innermost part of the second floor.We live on the first floor and rarely go to the second floor...

These words must be kept secret!Can't say it in front of other guests... I couldn't help laughing in bed.So nostalgic, really so nostalgic. Wanting to sleep peacefully, I moved my limp limbs and crawled out of bed to close the window.The heat is still within the range I can bear. When I got to the window, I vaguely saw a figure in the atrium.Having said that, I did not make further confirmation.After closing the window, I got into bed and slept until dawn the next day.
