Chapter 22 three

Bad luck is very rare, and rare things are more expensive, so bad luck is a good thing. Judging from this perfect syllogism, my luck is good at the beginning of this year.I put aside Ibara's gaze as if looking at an abandoned puppy, and returned to the noisy hall. Chitanda was very happy: "What kind of thing is the murder sign? I'm curious!" As she spoke, she looked carefully at the lottery she had snatched from me.Chitanda became curious at the beginning of the new year, and she really complied with the word 'bad' on the signature.Seeing how innocent she was, I had no choice but to say, "Are you so happy to see that I have drawn a fierce lottery?"

But Chitanda was puzzled: "Didn't Oreki-san not believe in these things?" Well, that's true. If you ask me to believe it or not, I really don't believe it.But low-probability events happen so naturally, it would be a lie to say that I don't care at all. Thinking about this, I couldn't answer immediately.Seeing this, Chitanda poked her head over. "..." "What, what's wrong?" "Sorry." She suddenly bowed her head and apologized. "I'm self-willed. In fact, Oreki-san is also very concerned." I wanted to respond, but didn't know what to say.

"Anyway, pay me back quickly." As I said that, I held out my hand.At this moment, a figure passed by in front of him—a serious Shimonji walked quickly through the hall. "Ah, yes. Thank you very much...but what are you going to do with that signature?" "Who knows..." How else can I deal with it.I can only find a place in the shrine and throw it away, but I don’t feel at ease if I just throw it away, maybe it’s better to tie it to the sacred tree?Thinking about it, the ten characters passed through my eyes again.Maybe she knew some reasonable way to deal with it.

"..." I thought Shiwenzi had already left, but she turned it back again.Probably because she couldn't see it anymore, Chitanda couldn't help but said, "Mr. Kaho." Although he was indeed very busy, Shiwenzi didn't seem to be in such a hurry that every second counted.She stopped when she heard the sound, softened her expression and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Eru. I didn't even serve a cup of tea." "No, that's all right. Is something wrong?" Shimonji raised the corners of his mouth - I already understood that this was a smile.In the current environment, it is probably a wry smile.

"That's right. A working child knocked over the pot, and the meatball soup and sweet wine for guests are all being redone." "This is..." Chitanda opened her eyes wide: "Is that child burned?" "No, there wasn't. He himself jumped back and out of the way." The motor nerves are so good, why would you overturn the pot? Although it is slightly lower than during the day, there are still many worshipers at night.Naturally, rum is used to entertain guests, and besides, the banquet here is about to start.The reason why Shiwenzi had to run around in the hall was probably because the pot was overturned.

Chitanda acted decisively: "I'll help." As she said that, she was about to get up, but Shiwenwen stopped her.I also feel that this is not feasible. "No, just forget about it, Eru." "Why? Don't look at me like this, in fact, I want to talk about cooking..." "I know your cooking skills. But you plan to enter the kitchen with this outfit?" Hearing this, Chitanda looked at her clothes suddenly.The gorgeous kimono with colorful embroidery on a red background and the breeze dancing with butterflies, no matter how you look at it, it is not a dress that can be worn in the kitchen.Chitanda seemed to understand this too: "Then, how can I help...?"

Shi Wenwen thought for a while, and then decided decisively: "Then go to the warehouse and get some wine lees. After entering the door, on the left hand side, put it on the big surface." "Ok, right on the left!" Chitanda immediately pushed aside the hem of her skirt and stood up.Then she turned to me and said, "Excuse me, can you look at the bag for a while?" Her purse was in the handbag. However, no matter how much I believe in energy conservation, I can't just sit back and watch Chitanda in a kimono go help alone. "I'll go as well." "I'm really sorry, then please."

After leaving these words, Shi Wenwen quickly walked out of the hall.Chitanda picked up the bag herself. Shall I put on my coat?I hesitated for a while.Anyway, it's just a matter of a while, so it shouldn't be necessary. At the gate, I asked Chitanda while putting on my boots, "She said it was a warehouse, right?" "yes." Cheap is not good quality.Although my pair of boots use metal buckles, the opening is very small, and I can only stuff my feet in bit by bit.After putting on my left foot, I put on my right boot and said, "That's the one next to Inari...Okay, put it on."

I opened the lattice door. The cold wind was blowing in my face, and I couldn't help regretting that I offered to help. Within a second of going out, I missed the stove in the house. The number of worshipers does not appear to have changed.The bonfire in the courtyard was burning vigorously, and the figures around him did not seem to diminish.It is estimated that there is still some sweet wine left, and there are still many figures holding paper cups. "That's where it is." I pointed to the miscellaneous room and said.I don't know if it's because it's hard to walk in zori sandals, but I'm in a hurry to get out, but now Chitanda is left behind by me.

The miscellaneous house is very dilapidated, even in the dark it is obvious.Whether it's the wooden walls or the roof, it looks like it's crumbling.If you give it a hard kick, the house might actually collapse like in the skit.Is the management of Arakusu Shrine also struggling?Or is it that there is no need to repair this kind of miscellaneous house in the corner of the courtyard?The red flag of Inari's "right one" stands beside it, but in such a comparison, the miscellaneous house with the white flag of "Arakusu Shrine" looks even more dilapidated.The stake of the white flag seems not to be deep enough to stand upright, so it is tied to the eaves of the miscellaneous house by a plastic rope.Really doable.

There is only one place that shines, and that is the door.It's made of aluminum alloy and looks new.It was probably replaced only recently, as evidenced by the shadows of the previous era—the door still needs to be locked by a bolt: first bolt it, and then lock it with a padlock.However, it was obviously New Year's Day when the flow of outsiders was concentrated, but now the padlock on the door was open.Should I say less tendons or open-minded?Maybe there's nothing worth stealing in the house. I unbolted the door and went into the hut. "If only there was a light..." But there was no lighting in the house.Thinking about it, it seems that this miscellaneous house doesn't even have any wires, and it's only natural that there are no lights. "Did she say 'on the left hand side of the door'?" For a while, Chitanda and I became confused: After entering this miscellaneous house, there is a wall on the left. "Confused with the right?" "How could it be? Student Jiasui wouldn't make such a mistake." "But there's nothing on the left." I looked to the right—it was night and there was no light in the room.It was dark in the miscellaneous room, and I couldn't see my fingers, but—— "...No, I think." "This means that……" "Is it still a little bit in there?" I walked cautiously while groping in the dark.Although the eyes are gradually adapting and the field of vision is slightly better, it will still be dangerous if you don't pay attention.I slowly went deep into the miscellaneous room to try to find the wine lees, but I couldn't find anything reliable at hand. "I thought it was a simple job, but I didn't expect it to become complicated." "That, Oreki-san." I don't know when it was approaching, Chitanda spoke from behind me.The aluminum door seemed to be blown shut by the wind, and the miscellaneous room was suddenly plunged into darkness. "What's wrong?" "How should I put it, although it is very difficult to say..." It seems to be really hard to say.I saw Chitanda holding the bag in both hands, looking coy.Although Chitanda, who has always been straightforward, rarely does this, I still didn't stop exploring in the dark. Chitanda said very cautiously: "...This is a miscellaneous house." "It should be. Should it be a miscellaneous house or a small house?" "Oreki-san was entrusted by Kaho-san to get the distiller's grains." "Is there any reason other than that?" "Please forgive me if I misunderstood. Well, this is a miscellaneous room." I sighed: "Isn't that enough?" In the darkness, Chitanda shook her head.For some reason, her voice lowered: "No, it's the warehouse." "what?" "It should be a warehouse. Jiasui said that the distiller's grains are in the warehouse. This is a miscellaneous room, and the distiller's grains should be in the warehouse." ……I see.Repeat twice with the inversion method, anyone should be able to understand. I fell silent for a moment.The image of myself knocking my head and saying "Aha, I don't have a warehouse so I made a mistake!" flashed in my mind, but it didn't feel right, so let's forget it.Instead, I responded in a low voice: "You have already found out." "Uh-uh, maybe, although I'm not sure. I just know that there is a mikoshi warehouse behind the social affairs office." "Then you should have said it earlier." I often hide my shyness by biting back.This is a bad habit, please apologize later.In short, we have to hurry up - it's too late to make sweet wine, the main reason is that it's too cold. However, when I turned around in the dark. Outside the miscellaneous room, a drunken voice said: "Hey, this door is open." Then, an extremely ominous "crack" sounded. "Huh? Just now that was..." Chitanda was stunned for a moment and said.I rushed to the door——because it was too dark to see clearly, it should be "rushing to what I think is the door" to be correct.It didn't take long for me to find the cool aluminum doorknob. but-- The door just rattled.I turned to look at Chitanda.Although I still couldn't see the outline clearly, I could feel that she was tilting her head uneasily. "What's wrong?" Although she couldn't see it, I shrugged. "We're locked."
