[Comprehensive] Selective disorder

Chapter 43 The Mystery of the Sunset Mansion [Event Chapter]

The bumpy journey, the scenery outside the glass on both sides is endless green, a gray station wagon just bumps and slowly shuttles through the forest without indicators, the boy propped his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window feeling bored , but after seeing the same scenery all the way, he put down his hand again with a disinterested expression. The boy turned his head, but his body didn't move. No, it should be said that he couldn't move.

The girl leaned on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. The boy was reluctant to wake her up. The weight on the shoulder and the unscrupulous posture of the other party showed the girl's dependence and habit on him. Houtaro Oreki sighed weakly, his shoulders went numb The sour feeling came gradually, but he still looked out of the window with an indifferent expression.

It hasn't been like this for a long time.

He hasn't seen such a crane for a long time.

Suddenly a head popped out of the co-pilot's seat. The other party was lying on the back of the co-pilot and looked at Houtaro Oreki with a smile. Houtarou Oreki was already familiar with the expression of this friend. The boy ignored him, but the other party did not Will be silent, Fukube Satoshi Qingliang lowered his voice and said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I saw Houtaro like this."

Oreki Houtaro slandered in his heart, what is this appearance, Oreki Houtaro frowned and couldn't help asking:

"What does this look like?"

Houtaro Oreki frowned impatiently, seeing Houtarou's expression, Fukube Satoshi covered his mouth and laughed lightly:

"Hahaha, that's it. It's a troublesome expression but there's nothing you can do about it. People like Houtaro who are energy-saving will find ways to refuse even if they encounter trouble, but when they see things that Houtaro can't refuse. , it just feels very interesting.”

Rishi this guy...

Houtaro Oreki angrily suppressed the business and corrected Fukube Satoshi's words:

"It's not that I can't refuse..."

"You don't want to refuse?"

Fukube Satoshi took the words as a matter of course, Oreki Houtaro was stunned for a moment, the boy leaning on the back showed a smug look and expressed the meaning of 'I see through you', Oreki Houtaro don't overdo it Paying no attention to him again, Satoshi Fukube tilted his head and smiled even brighter:

"Sure enough, Tsuru is Houtarou's weakness~"

"So you purposely talked about this in front of Ah He?"

"That's right~"

Hearing the other party's frank admission, Oreki Houtaro was not surprised. Why are they on this bumpy road now, why are they traveling through the forest to an unknown destination? It was Satoshi Fukube's premeditation to give up the leisurely summer vacation and go to this unknown place with Azuru!

"Houtaro just now used words like conspiracy and insidiousness to describe me in his mind."

Fukube Satoshi twitched the corners of his mouth. He was not surprised by Houtaro's silent protest. He must be angry when he pulled Houtaro out of the house and brought Azuru who had just returned home. Well, after all, he was the one who fooled Azuru to come out together, and Houtaro just followed unwillingly.

Although, his purpose from the beginning was to let the energy-saving Houtaro go with him to the current destination, and his entry point was only Houtaro's weakness, Oreki Crane.

"That's right, you just used a conspiracy."

Oreki Houtaro squinted and admitted the slander in his heart. After seeing Fukube Satoshi's heartless smile, Oreki Houtaro sighed inwardly.

The girl beside him was still asleep, and Houtarou Oreki looked at the scenery outside the window with an incredible inner peace.

【Well, it doesn't matter, as long as Ah He is here. 】

After another two hours on the mountain road, when Satoshi Fukube turned his head to look at the two people in the back seat again, the boy couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then chuckled:

"Hahaha, you really are siblings."

Just now Oreki Crane was sleeping soundly leaning on Oreki Houtaro, but now Oreki Houtarou is lying on Oreki Crane's lap with a look of lovelessness, the boy's expression is slightly pale, that kind of impatience and The expression of suffering and having to endure was mixed together, this appearance of Oreki Houtaro made Fukube Satoshi laugh unconscionably.

"Houtaro, are you okay, are you still feeling bad?"

Oreki Crane rubbed the boy's soft hair, Oreki Houtaro felt the touch on his head but he didn't want to move at all, the boy's heart was very active:

Ah He, is he treating me like a pet?

"Just ordinary motion sickness."

Oreki Houtarou's voice was muffled.

"Yeah, Houtaro, it's because of energy conservation that he doesn't have enough energy at critical moments!"

"Whispering, my energy is not spent in this place."

Normally, Houtaro Oreki would be able to say this with confidence, but now... he could only look at Fukube Satoshi in a soft voice, looking alive and kicking.

Satoshi Fukube leaned his chin on the back seat and grinned, as if seeing such a weak Houtaro occasionally is not bad, Satoshi Fukube looked at Oreki Tsuru:

"Ah He doesn't get carsick."

There was nothing unusual about Oreki Crane's expression, he was blinking and still looking energetic.

"Huh? I'm going to get motion sickness. It's probably because I just fell asleep. I'm not so dizzy now."

Satoshi Fukube twitched the corner of his mouth at the girl's words, so that's how it is.

Fukube Satoshi looked at Oreki Houtarou who was sad because of motion sickness. The boy curled up slightly and fell on Oreki Tsuru's lap. He had rarely seen Oreki Houtarou with such a trusting and relaxed posture, because Is Oreki Crane by your side?

【You know you will get motion sickness, but you still want to stay by Ah He's side...? 】

Satoshi Fukube narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think.

Twins...?

It's really interesting.

"It's really remote..."

It seemed that he had been driving on the mountain road for a long time, Oreki Crane couldn't help sighing, and Oreki Houtaro, who was a little better from motion sickness, couldn't help thinking:

There should be no signal in the mountains.

Thinking, Oreki Houtaro looked at Fukube Satoshi:

"Satoshi, where are we going?"

He didn't ask much if he was mysterious before, but now that they're all in the car, it's time to talk.

"hey-hey."

"..."

Oreki Houtaro twitched the corners of his mouth, what are you laughing at, why are you smiling so sinisterly.

"We're going to find the treasure~"

"..."

The Oreki siblings put on confused expressions at the same time, and when he came back to his senses, Oreki Houtarou immediately stood up and shouted at the driver:

"Mr. Driver, please turn around immediately, I want to go back!"

"Wait, wait! Houtarou, listen to me!"

Fukube Satoshi couldn't laugh or cry, although he expected Houtarou's reaction, this guy's troublesome attitude still exceeded his expectations.

"No, I can't hear a single punctuation mark in your words!"

Oreki Houtaro sat back angrily, but the expression of squinting his eyes and looking impatient still made Fukube Satoshi a little timid, ahaha, Houtarou's face turned serious.

"Actually, the place we are going to is called the Sunset Mansion. It is in Takayama Village, Agatsuma County, Gunma County. There was such a news circulating on the Internet before. At the end of the Bakumura, there was a very famous puppet master, Chongfeng Rushui. The people he made The puppet is lifelike, and the nobles and royal families in the Edo period liked his dolls, just like real people. Later, the emperor rewarded him with a box of gems, and then asked him to make dolls of twelve beauties. Feng Rushui disappeared without a trace, along with the box of gems, including a huge emerald."

"Hey, what does that have to do with Treasure?"

Houtaro Oreki still couldn't get up, Satoshi Fukube spread his hands in praise and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Because that is a treasure as abundant as water. The gems and dolls he left behind are in that mansion."

Oreki Houtaro couldn't help but hit Fukube Satoshi's momentum:

"Why do you think that news is true? More than 100 years have passed. If you really want to find the treasure, you will find it long ago and you will get it. And it's just a box of gems. Is it a treasure?"

Oreki Houtarou's puzzled tone made Fukube Satoshi sigh helplessly: "Houtaro, you really don't care about worldly affairs, and even said that it's just a box of gems. Do you know how much the box of gems is worth?"

"...I just haven't seen the world, sorry..."

Oreki Houtaro snorted softly, seeing Oreki Crane's suppressed smile, the boy turned his head away from the two of them angrily.

【Who am I here for, bastard. 】

"Actually, I'm not very interested in gems, but I still want to meet the descendants of the legendary humanoid masters. After all, I haven't seen dolls."

"Descendants?"

Oreki Crane blinked his eyes, Fukube Satoshi nodded and looked at Oreki Crane and said slowly:

"Yes, descendants, the current owner of the Sunset Mansion is said to be a descendant of Chongfeng Rushui, who is also a puppeteer. He announced the news on the Internet and summoned a group of people to decipher the mansion to find the treasure of Chongfeng Rushui. There is this layer Jin Jiagu, the news is a little more reliable, I thought it was very interesting, so I participated, I think Houtarou's head is quite smart, maybe he can solve the puzzle, so I will pull you on!"

'...I really want to go back...'

Oreki Houtarou couldn't help thinking.

"Hey, it looks very interesting, I've never seen a doll or something! And looking for treasures or something...Houtaro! Let's try it!!"

Oreki Crane's eyes lit up, and the girl was rarely interested in unknown and mysterious things. Oreki Crane's eyes were shining brightly and looked at Oreki Houtaro, and the boy was stared blankly by her pair of emerald green eyes. Hiding away, Oreki Houtarou swallowed his saliva, turned his head and blushed and responded in a low voice:

"oh oh."

【Damn it, Satoshi is really abominable. 】

[Why did he refuse, Ah He. 】

'Aha~ Houtaro's abduction strategy succeeded!Ah He's big move is really powerful~'

Fukube Satoshi couldn't help sighing in his heart, Houtarou really wouldn't reject Oreki Crane.

******

"Thank you!"

Satoshi Fukube bowed to Mr. Driver, and the Oreki siblings did not express their thanks eagerly, but bowed in the same way. The gray station wagon had already reached the limit of the suspension bridge, and the road ahead could only be The three of them walked by themselves.

"The drawbridge..."

Oreki Houtarou looked down, there was no river, only the stones left after the river dried up.

'Is this the only way in and out? '

The boy looked back, Satoshi Fukube was already walking ahead quickly, and Oreki Crane was at the end, and Oreki Houtaro stretched out his hand to Oreki Crane:

"Ahe, give me your hand."

The suspension bridge was a little wobbly, and Fukube Satoshi, who was walking in front, was walking around with great interest, Oreki Houtaro stretched out his hand worriedly.

"Hi~"

Oreki Crane put on a sweet smile and grabbed Oreki Houtaro's hand. To be honest, she is not afraid of this suspension bridge at all, but she still likes to act like a baby to Houtaro.

"Ah, it's so sweet~"

Fukube Satoshi secretly turned his head, the boy smiled meaningfully.

"Hey, is there a feeling in the movie, something happens, and then the only access bridge breaks, and everyone is trapped here?"

Fukube Satoshi-kun, who was very confused, raised this possibility with great interest, and was met with a fierce stare from his friend Houtarou Oreki:

"Why are your thoughts so dangerous?!"

"I'm just imagining all the possibilities that could happen."

"So stop your thoughts."

"That can't be done, stopping thinking is more dangerous than dying!"

Seeing Satoshi Fukube's wobbly movements, the Oreki girl couldn't help complaining:

"If you keep shaking, you will really die..."

"Ah, someone has arrived."

After crossing the suspension bridge and walking for a short distance, I saw a mansion with a huge courtyard. Looking at some old mansions from the first glance, it is not so magnificent as the first impression, but the first impression is weird. This huge mansion as a whole It gives people a sense of incongruity.

'so big……'

The Oreki siblings raised their heads at the same time, sighing the same words in sync in their hearts.

"Ah, hello, may I ask if you just arrived?"

Fukube Satoshi politely greeted the three people at the door. The group opposite was a young high school girl, a middle-aged man with a mustache, and a boy about seven years old. , as the oldest man, he nodded first, expressing the same greeting:

"Hello."

But the main answer was the girl. She had a vigorous temperament and a relaxed affinity. The girl smiled at the three of them and said:

"Yes, are you too? You are a bit young, are you junior high school students?"

The faces of the three were still immature, Satoshi Fukube nodded and introduced himself:

"Yes, third year junior high school, my name is Satoshi Fukube, please give me your advice~"

As he said that, the boy made an elegant aristocratic salute. The girl opposite was a little stunned, and the boy seemed to express a meaning in his eyes:

Ha ha.

'That fellow Satoshi...'

Oreki Houtaro sighed weakly.

"They are the same age as me, this one is Oreki Houtarou, this one is Oreki Crane."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The boys and girls still greeted each other less enthusiastically. Compared with Satoshi Fukube's exaggerated attitude before this casual attitude, the attitude of the two was normal and acceptable.

"Ah, then I am a senior. I am a sophomore in high school. My name is Mao Lilan. Please give me your advice."

The girl smiled friendly, and then introduced the two people around her:

"This is my father, Mori Kogoro, and this is Conan, Edogawa Conan, who lives in my house."

"Hello."

"Hello~~"

Mori Kogoro nodded without energy, but the boy named Conan was sweet.

'Edogawa Conan?Is it a combination of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle?What an interesting name...'

Oreki Houtaro looked at Edogawa Conan expressionlessly, but he was actively thinking about it.

"Hey, is your name Conan?"

Oreki Crane thought the same thing as Oreki Houtaro, but the girl said it very bluntly. She walked up to Conan and knelt down, stretched out her hand and rubbed the boy's head. Smile:

"It's a very interesting name, so cute."

'Is it cute?Where? '

Oreki Houtaro continued to look at Edogawa Conan with a blank expression on his face, that kind of plain eyes made Edogawa Conan feel a little scared, why is this guy looking at me like that!

"Squeak-"

The closed door of the mansion was suddenly opened from the inside. The slightly piercing sound of the old door made people feel a little creepy. A young man and a woman walked out from the inside. They saw several people at the door showing a smile. With similar smiles, they said in unison:

"Welcome to Sunset Mansion."

"I'm Sachiko Ibuki."

"I'm Yi Chuanuoyi."

"Thank you so much for coming."

At this moment, no one knew what they were about to face, nor did they know the secrets hidden in this mansion, and the sadness buried.

******

Miyamura lay on the bed with his pillow in his arms, feeling bored and looking at the ceiling. It was hot outside, and he had no thought of going out in the air-conditioned home.

Miyamura looked at his mobile phone, the screen displayed the email sent to him by Oreki Tsuru, but it was already the day before yesterday, Oreki Tsuru said that she was going to a remote place, so the mobile phone might not have signal...

Miyamura suddenly turned over, curled up and hid his face under the pillow, a faint longing brought out a wave of longing, Miyamura slowly closed his eyes, and a touch of longing passed in his heart:

【Oops, I miss Ah He so much. 】

******

"Drip drip drip drip."

The button kept making a sound, and Heiwei pressed it a little violently, and finally threw the phone on the bedside and fell on the bed.

"That heartless Ah He...did he forget me when he was away for a summer vacation? '

No, that heartless one is entirely possible.

"Ah!"

At the same time, Oreki Crane sneezed.
