I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 34 34. Is Only Black Tea Okay?

"Almost hit."

Yue's blind spot was involved in making wine, and she thought it was an ordinary bottle of Sakura sake.It smells like any other sake, except for a little more flower petal fragrance.

"If you drink this stuff, you probably won't be able to do without this strange talk."

Yue pressed the service bell, called the waiter who delivered the food, and put the medicinal liquor on the tray.The waiter showed different expressions, as if he had discovered something unreasonable.

"Swap us for ordinary tea."

"Boss, don't you ask us to prepare medicinal wine every time you eat? You say you want to be blessed as soon as possible and give birth to a healthy little witch..."

"We suddenly changed our minds and planned to think about it later. The hotel is too busy to take care of the children."

Rui Ji casually finds a classic excuse to prevaricate.The waiter was not easy to refuse, but his expression was still a bit embarrassed.

"Can only black tea be used? The other tea leaves are all used up, and the next batch will not arrive until the Goddess Festival is over."

"It doesn't matter, you just soak it and serve it up, and then a bucket of ice cubes."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After the waiter left, Yue fiddled with the dishes on the plate with chopsticks, feeling a little more vigilant.Food is the easiest thing to manipulate. Although the bottle of wine was not poisoned, thinking that it was only drunk when doing such things, Yue felt a chill and fear in his heart.

When it comes to bonding with other witches, she is very conservative in her style, rejecting any marriages that have no emotional basis and benefits, let alone go to places like nightclubs and bars to look for prey, and she is unwilling to become someone else's prey.

"Have these dishes been drugged?"

"No, I can't smell the additional medicine. Before eating, I also checked it with the detection magic, and the food has no negative effects on the body."

Rui Ji was tortured by the devil training and the motorized broom, like a hardworking witch who is diligent in discussing the great plan of the birth and continuation of the witch race with the partner.

The food on the table whetted her appetite, and she finished three bowls in a row.Anyway, the witch will not gain weight, no matter how you make it, you don't worry about accumulating fat.

"I can rest assured that."

Yue showed a relieved expression and continued to pick up vegetables.

After having dinner with black tea that does not have the drowsiness function, the same steps followed.First take a walk in the courtyard of the hot spring hotel to digest, observe whether there is any abnormality around, and take a bath when the burden on the stomach becomes smaller.

Taking a bath just after eating will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can easily cause fainting or fainting.

A witch's physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, but she must live by following some basic laws of the human body.In his previous life, the chaotic life and rest caused various physical problems. Rui Ji made up his mind to be a healthy person this time, so he took Yue to walk with him.

Accumulated food is not conducive to thinking, Yue reluctantly agrees.

The terrain of the hot spring hotel is more than ten meters higher than the square in front of the town. Standing at the door, you can look down the road.The lights around the square were brightly lit, and the townspeople of Asahina Town stayed up all night to build palaces and statues for the Goddess of the Mountain.

The statue is carved out of the rocks near the square.The townspeople are very obsessed with and crazy about the festival, the sound of beating drums and gongs, the sound of trumpets, the sound of chanting scriptures, ethereal singing, the noise of carving stones... countless messy notes are intertwined, making the night become It was noisy, but the wind in the courtyard seemed quieter.

Dozens of small floating platforms made of earth and rocks float above the Asahina Shrine. On the platforms are tied wrist-thick hemp ropes, and a ten-meter-long banner is hung below. Slogans for tourists to visit, etc.

There are several large floating platforms near the shrine, on which are witches who practice dancing and witches who do not have the duties of witches.The commercial street in the town was busier than during the day, and the sound of yelling and selling in the distance reached Rui Ji's ears with the evening wind.

Such a grand ceremony only made her feel terrified.This grand event is based on the innocent and tragic deaths of many young girls. Over the past 400 years, no less than one hundred people have been buried as sacrifices.

No matter how lively it was outside, Rui Ji never stepped out of the door of the hot spring hotel.

The well-meaning harmless ghost, Mrs. Yoshino, who runs a grocery store, also reminded them that starting from this evening, no matter what happened after 10 o'clock, they should not leave the bedroom of the main building of the hot spring hotel, nor the lobby.

"We still have two hours to take a bath. Do you want to go now? You made me sore and backache this afternoon, and now my legs are almost unsteady."

Rui Ji looked at the grandfather clock in the lobby, the mechanical device in the lower right corner showed the number 52, and the time was exactly 8 o'clock in the evening.

"Asakura told me just now that there are many guests taking a bath tonight, so we can only change to a smaller hot spring. Unless we really want to take a bath with the guests."

The girl's tone and expression were very uncomfortable, but she had to take it seriously.On the way to the hot spring pool, Yue remembered an urban ghost story he heard from someone else.

"In the Atami Hot Spring Rehabilitation Center on the Izu Peninsula, a witch and a young witch of unknown origin who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night took a bath together and had a good talk. They even made a wish to the tree of origin in advance in the hot spring pool The necessary ritual. The next day, the witch’s companions found that she hadn’t returned all night, and they searched everywhere to no avail. They thought she had returned to Tokyo first, so they didn’t pay much attention.”

"What happened after that?"

Rui Ji pretended not to guess the ending.

"One week later, in the middle of the night, when another guest was taking a bath, he found a body with its face peeled off along with the water, emitting a stench. After investigation by the Shizuoka County Police, it was determined that the body was the missing person. The Traveler Witch. So, do you want to take a bath with a bunch of ghost stories?"

"No, even if you don't tell stories to scare me, I won't go. Anyone who has watched American dramas and bad American horror movies knows that dying is the best way to send yourself to a dead end. Countless witches have proved it with facts. , Magic is not an iron ticket to avoid death, in the face of mysterious power, you should die or you have to die, it is best not to be alone, and not to go to a strange place alone to test your courage."

More than 20 years of life experience in her previous life let Rui Ji know what to do and what not to do.

"Ok."

Moon was a little disappointed.

I thought I could see the frightened expression of the black-haired witch, and I was looking forward to it in my heart, but I didn't expect that the other party was not afraid at all.A normal witch should at least react and let out a few exclamations.

Since you can't see the expression of fear, you can only enjoy the beautiful scenery that automatically breaks into your eyes while soaking in the hot springs.

From the first time she saw Rui Ji, Yue couldn't help but want to take a second look.

There are not many Japanese witches who are so beautiful, and every witch who meets her will do so subconsciously.
