On the banks of the Santuo River, a woman dressed in soul clothes is gently sprinkling the flowers of the other shore.
In the Santuo River, countless petals of red spider lilies gradually float away into the distance along with the river water.
In the past, Izumi Sagiri would add a mist effect on the water surface. After all, she was a little lacking in the construction of water bodies.
In an underworld place like the Santuo River, it is normal to have some fog.
However, through observing the water bodies over the past two days, Izumi Sagiri has gained some new insights into the effects of water surfaces.
Today, Izumi Sagiri was full of creative inspiration, so she applied these experiences to water painting. The effect was obviously very good, and the realistic texture of the water surface was significantly improved.
However, the overall picture still made Izumi Sagiri a little dissatisfied, as it seemed a little different from the picture in her mind.
But when it came to the specific details, Izumi Sagiri was a little confused. She really couldn't figure out what went wrong, so she could only keep creating new layers and hiding patterns to try again.
But after trying for a long time, she still couldn't reach the level that Izumi Sagiri wanted. Looking at the paintings on the screen, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Sagiri, what are we having for dinner?"
It was already late, and Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Mei also returned to the room from the side and walked to the side of Izumi Sagiri.
Izumi Sagiri was still staring at the screen without any reaction. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and tapped Izumi Sagiri's screen lightly.
A shadow suddenly appeared on the screen, causing Izumi Sagiri to blink slightly. She raised her head and saw Yushan Kazuto. Only then did Izumi Sagiri take off her headphones.
"Kazuto-brother? What, what happened?" asked Izumi Sagiri.
"It's almost evening, time to order dinner." Yushan Heren said.
Izumi Sagiri blinked slightly, then took the tablet from Doma Mai and quickly ordered dinner.
After thinking about it, Izumi Sagiri pulled the tablet to the bottom, ordered a cat meal for Xiaoxue, and then returned the tablet to Tsuchima Mai.
Looking at Izumi Sagiri's actions, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink his eyes. Izumi Sagiri is really nice to Xiaoxue.
Unfortunately, Yushan Heren is a strict person. He has prepared Xiaoxue's dinner in advance. Tonight, Xiaoxue can only eat the cat food left over from lunch.
Without waiting for Tsuchiya Mai to reach out, Yushan Kazuto caught the tablet in advance, turned sideways, and at an angle where neither Tsuchiya Mai nor Izumi Sagiri could see, deleted Xiaoxue's cat meal from the shopping cart, and then ordered a dinner for himself.
"Sagiri, what are you drawing?" Doma Mai looked over with some curiosity, but after seeing the picture on Sagiri Izumi's screen, she felt a chill.
To be honest, the picture is not hideous at all, and even the daughter in the picture is extremely beautiful.
But the atmosphere created by Sagiri Izumi is excellent, with a deep environment, black and red rocks, and petals falling on the Sanzu River.
Just looking at one part of it, Doma Mai was already a little scared, let alone so many elements combined together.
"I got some inspiration after seeing the exhibition this afternoon." Sagiri Izumi said in a low voice.
"Although I have some inspiration, we still have to have dinner at the normal time later!" Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Izumi Sagiri blinked slightly, nodded, and put on her headphones again.
When Yushan and others tapped the screen just now, the shadow created on the screen gave her a different feeling.
Recalling the previous scene, Izumi Sagiri created a new layer again and continued painting.
……
In the evening, while eating dinner, Izumi Sagiri was still thinking about painting.
After she created the shadow effect, the visual experience of the work was obviously improved a lot, but it still did not meet Sagiri Izumi's psychological expectations.
She still didn't know what went wrong.
Although the structure of this painting is already very perfect, and if it is completed and posted on Twitter, it will probably receive tens of thousands of likes and reposts, but Izumi Sagiri is still very dissatisfied.
Looking at Izumi Sagiri's appearance, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and said, "Sagiri, what are you thinking about? You look absent-minded even when you're eating!"
Izumi Sagiri came back to her senses, lowered her head and concentrated on eating.
"Senior Kazuto, Sagiri must be thinking about her painting. You will disrupt her inspiration by doing this." Tsuchima Mai said.
"No, no, bury my sister." Izumi Sagiri whispered.
Izumi Sagiri was grateful that Doma Mai spoke up for her, but it was indeed her own fault that she was not focused enough during the meal.
The issue of the painting has been bothering Izumi Sagiri for a long time. Perhaps if she forgets about it for the time being and relaxes her tense mood a little, she can truly realize the problem with the painting.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink and nodded.
"Drink something. Your dinner is a little dry. Don't choke." Looking at Izumi Sagiri concentrating on eating, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but sigh and said.
Izumi Sagiri nodded, picked up the tea that came with the set meal, and started drinking it.
Suddenly, a picture flashed through Izumi Sagiri's mind.
"Sagiri, drink something, don't choke."
A few years ago, in the art museum theme restaurant I visited at noon today
, her mother also said the same thing to her.
Thinking of this scene, tears welled up in Izumi Sagiri's eyes.
Looking at Izumi Sagiri crying, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was it really because he was too strict that caused Izumi Sagiri to cry?
"Sa, Sagiri, what's wrong with you?" asked Yushan Kazuto nervously.
Izumi Sagiri shook her head, trying to control her tears, but they still kept flowing out.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but hug Izumi Sagiri and glared at Hayama Kazuto, but at this moment, she didn't want to say anything to Hayama Kazuto. She just kept comforting Izumi Sagiri.
"Okay, okay, Sagiri, stop crying. If you want to draw, just go ahead and draw."
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Tsuchimiya's way of comforting people obviously seemed a bit doting.
Izumi Sagiri shook her head and said, "Mai-Mai sister, I, I'm fine, I just thought of something... a TV series."
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. She obviously didn't believe what Izumi Sagiri said.
However, when she saw that the tears in Izumi Sagiri's eyes gradually stopped and she started to eat dinner seriously, Doma Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.
When returning to her position, Doma Mai glared at Yushan Kazuto fiercely.
Chapter 1968: Heart palpitations
After dinner, Izumi Sagiri sat in front of her notebook and continued to create.
However, the memories that just surged up were still echoing in her mind. Even painting, which had always helped Sagiri Izumi calm down, seemed to have no effect at this moment.
Yushan, Rento and Tsuchima would linger around the living room from time to time. Although they pretended to be nothing and were just pacing, Izumi Sagiri knew very well that they both cared about her.
However, there were some things that Izumi Sagiri was not convenient to explain to the two of them. She could only lower her head, looking at the screen, and silently paying attention to the actions of Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima.
After walking around for a while, it seemed that Doma Mai had drunk a little too much tea and went into the bathroom.
Seeing that Kazuto Hayama was the only one left, Izumi Sagiri stood up and walked to Kazuto Hayama.
"Kazuto-nii-nii, I...I want to go somewhere. Can you take me there?"
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Izumi Sagiri with some surprise. He didn't expect that Izumi Sagiri would take the initiative to tell him that she wanted to go out.
"Where?" However, since Izumi Sagiri had just cried, Yushan Kazuto had to be a little cautious.
"It's...it's the restaurant we went to at noon." Izumi Sagiri said in a low voice.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. Could it be that the dinner was not to her liking, but she still wanted him to eat seriously, which made Izumi Sagiri feel wronged?
However, Kazuto Hayama thinks the food at Hoshinoya is still good. The portion ordered by Sagiri Izumi is a little dry, but not to the point of being inedible.
However, since they were just going to a restaurant and not some strange place, Yushan and Ren felt a lot more at ease.
"Are we going now?" Yushan Heren asked.
"Yeah." Izumi Sagiri responded, and suddenly remembered that her laptop was not locked, so she hurried back to her seat and locked the computer.
"Where's Komari?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly.
Izumi Sagiri blinked her eyes slightly. Just now, Doma Mai was trying hard to comfort herself, but now she didn't want to take her with her when she went out, which really made her feel a little guilty.
But this matter involves her mother after all, and Izumi Sagiri hopes that the fewer people who know about it, the better. She can only let Doma Yui down this time.
Seeing Izumi Sagiri shaking her head, Yushan Kazuto could only sigh and said, "Then let's go."
The two walked to the door, and Tsuchima Mai just came out of the bathroom. Seeing the two preparing to go out, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but ask, "Kazuto-senpai, Sagiri, where are you going?"
"Sagiri is in a bad mood, I'll take her out for a walk." Yushan Kazuto said.
Although Izumi Sagiri didn't want to take Doma Mei out, Hayama Kazuto thought that it would be better for him to be the bad guy.
But Domama came over and looked at the two of them: "I, I'll go too."
"Mamoru-chan, you've been out playing all day today and you've been tired. Just stay in the hotel and rest for a while. We will be back soon." Yushan Kazuto said.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help biting her lip. Her heel was a little painful now, but Tsuchima Mai felt a little strange that Yushan Kazuto took Izumi Sagiri out without taking her.
However, before Tsuchima Mai could think about it, Yushan Kazuto and Izumi Sagiri had already walked out of the room.
Tsuchiya Yumi wanted to catch up, but in the end she didn't move. She sat on the bed alone and couldn't help but snorted: "Hmph, if you don't take Komari with you, then don't take Komari with you. Komari will go to see the stars alone!"
He walked into the courtyard, lifted the cloth covering, and began to look for stars among the soil.
It was already quite late, and there were already some stars twinkling in the sky, but Tujianmai didn't recognize those stars, nor did he know their specific positions on the star map.
After struggling for a long time, there was still deep darkness in the field of vision. Doma Mai felt as if the telescope was against her, and she couldn't help biting her lips.
Standing in the yard, the wind suddenly blew, the leaves rustled, and a slightly strange blue light appeared in the telescope.
Tsuchiya's body couldn't help but tremble, not because of the cold, but because many horrible scenes appeared in her mind.
In some ghost movies, sudden strange winds and eerie blue lights have almost become standard features.
Looking at the sky, Doma Mai felt that the entire night sky seemed to have turned into an endless dark cloud, and behind this dark cloud, there were countless monsters and demons hidden.
Thinking of the strange volcanic rocks she had seen during the day, and the ghosts in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade theme exhibition with different postures but still ferocious looks, Tsuchima's body couldn't help but tremble. She quickly covered the telescope and ran back to the room.
After locking the doors to the living room and the courtyard, Tsuchima felt a little relieved, but this sense of relief only lasted for a few seconds.
She soon realized that the living room seemed too quiet, with no sound at all.
In fact, this is normal, the sound insulation of the room has always been good.
In addition, the resort is not near the major commercial areas of Karuizawa, so there is not much noise from the outside world, and the room is naturally quieter.
Doma Mai didn't realize this before, mainly because Hayama Kazuto and Izumi Sagiri were always in the room.
Now that both of them had gone out, Doma Yui was the only one left in the room, so it was naturally a little too quiet.
"Xiaoxue?"
Tsuchiya couldn't help but call out Xiaoxue's name. Now she just hoped to have a little
What accompanies me.
Unfortunately, Xiaoxue did not respond to her. When she walked to the lounge, Domama did not see any sound of Xiaoxue, but only heard the rustling sound of claws scratching on wooden boards.
Xiaoxue was playing with a cat scratching board behind a pile of toys, but when the sound reached Tsuchimachi's ears, her body couldn't help but tremble.
This high-frequency sound will make people instinctively feel disgusted and at the same time increase their sense of fear.
Tsuchiya Mai did not continue to move forward to observe Xiaoxue, but quickly ran back to the bedroom, covered herself with the quilt, hoping to feel a little more at ease.
However, the result went against her will. Because she was wrapped too tightly, Domama felt a little suffocated and even felt like something was pressing on her chest.
The environment inside the quilt was even quieter, and Tsuchiya could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
The "thump thump" sound of the heartbeat sounded a bit like a countdown. The feeling of suffocation became more and more uncomfortable. Tsuchima Mai had to lift the quilt and gasp for breath.
The warm lighting in the room originally felt quite cozy, but now, it made Tsuchiya feel a little depressed.
Chapter 1969: Warm and Bad Fun
"Two guests, would you like to eat?"
When I walked into the restaurant, the waiter who was receiving me had changed, but his dress and the way he spoke hadn't changed much.
"Is there any room on the second floor?" Yushan Heren asked.
This is what Izumi Sagiri asked Hayama Kazuto to in the car. Although it was not clear why Izumi Sagiri wanted to sit on the second floor, Hayama Kazuto still asked.
"Yes, please follow me."
It's already past seven o'clock. For a slow-paced town like Karuizawa, it's actually past dinner time, so naturally there aren't many customers in the store.
