Chapter 660: Silent Mulou Teahouse
Afterwards, Kujo Kamajima asked the three to deliver a letter from him to Chisato Hiiragi, and to bring the cakes he prepared for Chisato Hiiragi from "Kinan Ryotei". When they heard about this task, they agreed without hesitation. After all, they had just been granted a special pass, so they had to behave well and try their best to complete this commission.
After completing these preparations, several people immediately set off for the island. The island, a place full of vitality and bustle, is still very lively. The streets are full of various shops, stalls are next to each other, and are filled with a variety of goods. People come and go in an endless stream, there are merchants hawking, tourists strolling, and busy guys. The liveliness here is in sharp contrast to the depression on the streets before.
They soon found Chisato Hiiragi, who was standing in a quiet courtyard surrounded by beautiful flowers. When she saw the three people coming, she showed a gentle smile on her face, like the warm sun in spring, making people feel extremely comfortable. The three people handed the cakes and letters that Kujo Kamajima gave her to Chisato Hiiragi. After taking the things, Chisato Hiiragi thanked them softly, her voice soft and gentle, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains.
After doing all this, the three returned to Ming Shen Island. After Lin Feng paid for it out of his own pocket, the three of them went straight to a five-star hotel to hide in. The interior decoration of the hotel is extremely luxurious, with exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, depicting the magnificent scenery and long history of Inazuma; the chandeliers on the ceiling are dazzling, emitting a soft and warm light; the floor is paved with smooth marble, reflecting everything around, and it looks particularly gorgeous. The hotel has all the facilities you need, including spacious and comfortable guest rooms, restaurants that offer a variety of delicacies, and places for people to relax and entertain.
They ate and drank to their heart's content, enjoying this rare leisure time, and slept for three days. During these three days, they put aside all their worries and fatigue and immersed themselves in comfort and ease. After replenishing their energy, Paimeng gave people a radiant feeling for a while.
"Phew~ These three days are so comfortable. It would be nice if I could be this comfortable every day." Paimon sat at the table, looking out the window at the bustling streets and said with emotion, her eyes full of comfort and satisfaction. She watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street, the vendors enthusiastically selling all kinds of goods, and the children laughing and playing in the crowd, thinking how nice it would be if she could always be carefree like this, away from those dangers and disputes.
Hearing Paimong's words, Lin Feng immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right. It would be great if I could be this comfortable every day. I'm really tired of these frightening days." Lin Feng stretched his body, his movements lazy and relaxed. He recalled the adventures he had experienced before, each of which was full of unknowns and dangers, making his nerves tense all the time. Now that he finally had some relaxing time, he really hoped that there would be more days like this.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Kong nodded unconsciously. However, in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Kong's thoughts suddenly drifted away. He thought of the fact that he still had to find his sister Ying, and wondered where Ying was at the moment and how she was doing. Since he was separated from his sister, finding his sister has become the most important thing in his mind, like a heavy stone, always weighing on his heart. But there is still no news about his sister, which makes him full of worry and melancholy. His eyes gradually became a little dim, and the corners of his mouth that were originally smiling slowly drooped down.
After noticing the change in Sora, Paimon and Lin Feng immediately covered their mouths, with embarrassed and self-blaming expressions on their faces. Every day, they always seemed to say the wrong thing accidentally, making Sora unhappy. They really didn't mean to do that, and they definitely didn't mean to show off. They were just simply complaining about their current feelings. Who would have thought that this would make Sora fall into a depressed mood? This was really unexpected. Paimon and Lin Feng looked at each other awkwardly, seeing helplessness and annoyance in each other's eyes, and secretly blamed themselves for being careless.
"Three days have passed. I guess everyone has recovered their energy." Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, Paimon quickly scratched her head and then turned her gaze from the street to the two people, trying to break the dull atmosphere. There was a hint of inquiry in her eyes, hoping to divert everyone's attention through such a topic and make the atmosphere relaxed again.
Hearing Paimeng's words, Lin Feng and Kong both nodded. In the past three days, adequate rest and relaxation have indeed allowed them to fully recover their energy. However, they were a little puzzled. Why did Paimeng suddenly ask this question? It was really confusing. The two looked at Paimeng in confusion, their eyes full of puzzlement, as if they were asking what Paimeng was up to.
"Let's go to the Mulou Teahouse? Anyway, we have nothing to do right now, so let's go find them there. Maybe they are there too? After all, today is the end of our vacation." After hearing what Paimeng said, Kong and Lin Feng naturally knew who the "they" Paimeng was talking about were. They were Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a long time ago. It was the end of the vacation that was agreed upon before. It seemed that it was time to find them and talk about their experiences during this period. Thinking of this, the three of them walked towards the Mulou Teahouse together.
However, what surprised the three was that there was no one on the street at this time. The whole street gave people an unusually solemn atmosphere, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. The wind blew gently, but it did not bring the vitality of the past, but instead seemed to convey some kind of ominous omen.
Lin Feng couldn't help but get nervous. With his keen perception of various situations, he could guess from this scene that they had reached a certain key plot point. He had a bad premonition in his heart, as if an invisible big hand was pushing them into an unknown and dangerous vortex. That feeling of uneasiness, like a tide, slowly drowned him.
After the three of them walked into the Mulou Teahouse, they found it was even more terrifyingly quiet. The entire teahouse was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be clearly heard. Not only that, even the man who had been standing guard at the door had disappeared. Everything seemed so weird and creepy.
