Chapter 160 The Legend of the Hot Spring Inn

The movie ended. Although Uchiha Ryo wasn't particularly interested in this kind of movie, Yukinoshita was clearly engrossed in it.

Where to go next? Uchiha Ryo looked around.

The closest hotel to the movie theater is the couples' hotel across the street, but Yukinoshita obviously wouldn't agree to go to such a place.

Her idea was that since she had finished watching the movie, she might as well go home.

However, just as Yukino was about to go back, she received a call from a friend.

"Hmm... Hmm, let's go, Ling, let's go to Xiuzhiyuan."

Uchiha Ryo was reluctant. "It's a perfectly good weekend. I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to go straight home, but why do you want to go back to school?"

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and said, "Eru said she's discovered something interesting and is going to investigate it."

The curious Chitanda activated a summoning jutsu, but since she wasn't the president of the Classic Literature Club, she only called on her best friend, Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita felt that since Uchiha Ryo had solved the case last time, she would definitely not lose this time.

"So, what is it?"

Yukino shook her head. "I don't know either. We'll find out when we get to the school. Eru isn't planning on bringing too many people, so it'll probably just be the three of us this time."

Suddenly Yukino stopped in her tracks, looked around, and asked in confusion.

"Where's Yanyunjiang?"

Uchiha Ryo shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe he got bored and ran away."

Yanyun-chan, who was far away at Natsume's house, rushed back as fast as she could, only to find a pile of fish bones waiting for her.

The cat teacher was lying on the ground holding her belly, and when she saw Yanyun-chan come back, she even let out a burp.

.....

Meanwhile, at Shuchiin Academy, even though it was the weekend, any Shuchiin student who wanted to come to the school to study was allowed to enter.

Uchiha Ryo and Yukinoshita arrived at the Classic Literature Club classroom, where they found Chitanda Eru buried in a pile of old books.

A pair of purple eyes blinked back and forth, finally smiling as they looked at the two people at the doorway. If Chitanda weren't older than Yukino, Uchiha Ryo would have thought this was some little kid who had run away.

Uchiha Ryo: "So what exactly is it?"

Chitanda Eru chuckled, stood up, and pulled both of them over.

"I recently heard about it at school! It's the legend about the old school building of Shuchiin."

Under the Snow: "The Legend of the Old School Building?"

Chitanda nodded, about to speak, but her gaze drifted towards the door. Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryo noticed someone running rapidly down the corridor towards them.

At the entrance of the Classic Literature Department, Fujiwara Chika, wearing a detective hat, suddenly appeared and pointed her finger out the window directly in front of her.

"Wherever there are urban legends about schools, there I am, Detective Chika! There's only one truth! Let's go investigate the school building."

Yukinoshita: ".."

Uchiha Ryo: "....."

Chitanda clapped her hands. "Yes, yes, it's great that Fujiwara-san is interested too!"

Uchiha Ryo shook his head helplessly. "Anyway, what exactly is this legend about the old school building that you two are both talking about?"

Fujiwara Chika raised her hand. "Let me explain! I've been investigating for days!"

Behind the Shuchiin Academy's teaching building lies a mountain range that has already been fully explored. It's the same mountain where they played their match during the sports festival.

The old school buildings of Shuchiin were built on the other side of the mountain, about a 20-minute walk from the school.

However, as early as thirty years ago, the school building was outsourced by the school and turned into a hot spring hotel.

Uchiha Ryo: "Get to the point."

Fujiwara Chika pouted, "Honestly, Uchiha-kun doesn't understand the importance of taking things one step at a time."

Since its construction, this hot spring inn has been associated with the legend of the "Abyss Woman." About a hundred years ago, the local hot spring source was called Abyss Pond...

Any man who soaks in this abyss will become irritable and violent, while any woman who soaks in it will be possessed by the ghost of the Abyss Maiden and will commit suicide within a few days.

This was originally just a legend, after all, this hot spring resort had been open for thirty years and nothing like this had ever happened before, but just last week...

Fujiwara Chika's expression was serious. "My classmates at Shuchiin University said they saw a ghost near the hot spring dormitory, and a woman hanging herself in the middle of the night! They thought it was just a hallucination, but they saw it again the next night!"

The students hurriedly fled the hotel on the morning of the third day and told the school forum about it.

After Fujiwara Chika finished speaking, Yukinoshita stroked her chin, "So what we need to investigate is whether Fuchiike and that ghost exist, right?"

Chitanda Eru nodded. "What exactly are ghosts? Do they really exist? I'm so curious!!"

Fujiwara Chika raised her head. "So let's go home, pack our things, and then stay at this inn for a couple of days!"

A weekend getaway to a hot spring inn... is definitely more interesting than staying at home. And with two curious kids like Chitanda Eru and Fujiwara Chika on the side, this hot spring trip probably won't be too boring.

As for what to prepare for going home, it's nothing more than your own yukata and daily necessities. Although the hot spring inns provide these, many people are still not used to using things from outside.

After returning to the apartment from school and preparing all the necessary items, I set off again.

The destination was a hotel outside the back mountain of Shuchiin. It was a well-known domestic hot spring hotel called Hinatsuru, which was quite popular in the Tokyo area. However, because it had a cooperative relationship with Shuchiin, the students generally received a lot of discounts.

"Welcome! Welcome to Hinatsuru Ryokan!"

At the entrance, a little girl wearing a white hat bowed slightly.

Fujiwara Chika stepped forward and ruffled the little girl's hair. "Wow, Ai is so sensible. Is she helping the family attract customers?"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Yukinoshita and Chitanda's faces, Fujiwara Chika turned and said.

"This is Hinatsuru Ai, the daughter of the owner of Hinatsuru Inn... Although she's young, she's already helping out at the family inn."

Hinatsuru smiled shyly, "Chika-neechan, it's only right... Are these older sisters and brothers Chika-neechan's classmates?"

Fujiwara Chika: "Yes! Please give us two Japanese-style rooms."

Hinatsuru Ai nodded, then stared at Uchiha Ryo with a curious expression. "Big brother, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

"Um... little sister, have you seen me before? I don't remember you..."

Hinatsuru Ai suddenly thought of something and pointed at Uchiha Ryo.

"I remember now, you're Xiaohua's brother. You were the one who picked her up after school, right?"

Oh, I see. This little girl is Xiaohua's classmate...
