Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was very resistant to sudden accidents and having to start working overtime, she and Mashu couldn't ignore it now that they encountered a concerning incident.

So, they asked Southern Sun Crane to join in the investigation of the "Blue Spider's Curse".

"Do you want to investigate together?"

After hearing their request, Nanfang Rihe nodded without hesitation and said:

"Since it's you, of course there's no problem. It can even be said to be welcome."

The information she just mentioned was all information published online, and there are roughly two possibilities for the truth of the incident:

1. [The Curse of the Blue Spider] does not actually exist. It is just a man-made prank, a rumor deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives;

Second, the [Curse of the Blue Spider] is a terrible curse that really exists, and the initiator is also a terrible being who has some kind of mysterious power.

If it's just the former, of course everyone will be happy, but at most it's a waste of time. But she also gets a piece of writing material, so it doesn’t matter;

But if it's the latter... then the existence of professionals like Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu becomes particularly important.

But on the other side, Matthew asked with concern:

"Speaking of which, isn't there a companion on Ms. Hizuru's side? Since we are acting together, wouldn't it be better to ask for his opinion?"

"As for that guy, there's actually no need to worry too much."

Nanfang Rihe waved his hands indifferently and said:

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with that person, we just know each other, but judging from the other person's personality, he shouldn't care about such a trivial matter."

"And if it doesn't work, we can just leave him alone and conduct the investigation ourselves."

"Is this so...?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't help but look at each other.

But seeing that Nanfang Rihe's face was dull and he really didn't seem to care about this problem, they could only sigh in a low voice, "Miss Rihe is domineering" and then finalized the matter.

According to Minami Hizuru, the companion who invited her seemed to have arrived here this morning, and then immediately went to the Seizan Sakira Academy to investigate. He should be in school at the moment.

Then Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"Then are we going to meet him now?"

"Need not."

Nanfang Rihe shook his head and said:

"Suddenly breaking into the school at this time is very troublesome for both us and the school, so we can just wait for him to come back and meet at the hotel today, and then we can exchange information."

"As for now... Speaking of which, you were just going to go to the countryside to investigate, right?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nodding, Nanfang Hizuru said:

"Then, can I go with you too?"

Although she didn't come here because of the Zashiki Warashi incident, since Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were also investigating the matter, she couldn't help but become somewhat interested.

After getting the consent of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, the three of them had lunch. Minami Hizuru went back to the room to sort out his luggage, and then the three of them went out together to investigate the countryside.

"As expected, there are many shops selling medicine cans and ironware!"

Walking on the country road, Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously looked at the simple village in front of him and exclaimed:

“As expected of the town of medicine cans, which is famous for its medicine cans and ironware.”

At the same time, the villagers on the road also looked at the three people curiously and enthusiastically.

The scene of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Minami Hikaru, three beauties with different styles and temperaments but equally stunning charm, walking together is a rare and beautiful scene for them living in the countryside.

Seeing the three beautiful girls walking together on the road, even the scenery that was usually tired of seeing seemed to take on a completely new look.

On the other side, while walking in the countryside, Fujimaru Ritsuka and three others asked the villagers for information about Zashiki Warashi.

According to the villagers, the rumor that there is a Zashiki boy haunting Azi Hotel was only spread in the past year or two. Before that, they had never heard of such a thing.

Therefore, some villagers believe that it is just a hype method of Azi Hotel.

However, some villagers claimed that someone had indeed seen Zashiki Warashi in the hotel and gave a description of his appearance——

According to the villagers, the Zashiki Warashi in the hotel is a cute little girl who wears a traditional and luxurious kimono, has long black hair, is as dignified and elegant as a doll, and looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old. look.

But when Fujimaru Ritsuka asked who had seen Zashiki Warashi with his own eyes, the villagers could not answer.

They also asked about the [Blue Spider Curse] incident that occurred at the private Sansaki Ryo Academy, but the villagers seemed completely unaware of it.

From this point of view, this matter is currently only circulating on the Internet, and has not yet completely spread in reality.

In addition, they saw a lot of fox statues along the way, so they curiously asked an old woman about the statues, but the story was a little surprising.

They originally thought that people in the village believed in the God of Inari, which was why they erected so many fox statues, but it turned out not to be the case.

"Speaking of which, that happened a long time ago..."

When mentioning this matter, the old lady’s eyes were full of memories and she said slowly:

"It is said that a long time ago, a very ferocious fox demon appeared in our area. In order to suppress and save it, the ancestors built a shrine on the top of the mountain."

"And these fox statues were also built at that time."

"It's just that during the war, the shrine on the top of the mountain was bombed and was never rebuilt. Over time, it became what it is now."

"So this is ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were suddenly stunned.

After seeing off the old lady who was walking, and continuing to explore the village for a while, the three of them came to a pavilion and sat down to rest.

Masiu said:

"It seems that the villagers don't know much about Zashiki Warashi."

"yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said:

"It seems like we have to start with the hotel itself."

Southern Rihe muttered:

"Judging from the current situation, the two incidents do not seem to be connected..."

At least according to the villagers, Zashiki Warashi is indeed like a legendary monster that is good to people and brings wealth to people, rather than something else that can curse people.

"But the information is too little, so we can't draw a conclusion yet."

"...It's better to go back and ask Miss Chun first."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a while and said:

"She seems to know a lot about Zashiki Warashi, and she seems to know a customer who has seen Zashiki Warashi in person..."

"ah!"

Speaking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and said to Nanfang Hizuru:

"It seems that the guest is also a writer, and it was precisely because he wrote about the hotel's [Between the Dolls] and Zashiki Warashi in his novel that Ashi Hotel gradually became popular."

"is that so?"

Nanfang Hizuru's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he understood what Fujimaru Ritsuka meant, so he took out his mobile phone and started searching for related words.

If it was the author of a novel, she might be able to have a few words with the other person.

"found it."

According to the information provided by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Minami Hizuru quickly found the novel. Then, when she saw the author's name and the magazine to which it belonged, she lowered her eyes slightly and said:

"This is really...a bit of a coincidence."
