Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

night.

"Huh, I'm full, let me rest for a while."

Sonoko lay on the tatami without caring about her image.

Kitamura Genbei and Kitamura Kayo came to collect the dishes, and seeing this, Xiaolan and Miyano Akemi also stood up to help.

Kitamura Kayo hurriedly said, "Guests, please sit down and rest. We will take care of this."

Xiaolan put away the dishes and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway."

Miyano Akemi nodded, "Yes."

"Lan and Miho-sister are so kind-hearted!" Sonoko exclaimed.

Kitagawa Taki jokingly said, "You can also go together."

Yuanzi winked slyly, "Too many people will get in the way."

Xiaolan and her friend helped the old couple put the dishes into the kitchen, and then helped Kitamura Kayo wash the dishes.

"It's much easier for me with your help, thank you." Kitamura Kayo turned around and thanked the two of them.

"It's my duty." They both said in unison.

"Madam, do you usually have a lot of customers here?" asked Akemi Miyano while clearing the bowl.

"It's all thanks to the winter season. There are hardly any people at other times," Kitamura Kayo said with a smile. "In the winter, there are mainly people skiing, and some come specifically to see the snow girls."

"Come here just for the Snow Girl?"

"That's right, there are always young people who like to explore these things, but it seems like there is a curse. Those who come here specifically get nothing, while those who are not interested suffer." Kitamura Kayo said and shook her head, as if she felt sorry for the victims.

Xiaolan listened to their discussion without saying anything and washed the dishes silently. Just as she looked up, she suddenly saw a white figure floating quickly on the distant ridge outside the window.

"Snow, Snow Girl!" Xiaolan pointed out the window in horror.

Miyano Akemi and Kitamura Kayo hurriedly looked out the window, but saw nothing but white snow.

"Xiaolan, did you see it wrong?" asked Akemi Miyano.

"No, that one is absolutely real. It's a snow girl dressed in white, just floating past!"

Xiaolan gestured.

Kitamura Kayo didn't doubt it, and warned seriously: "Miss, even if you saw it, you must pretend not to see it, otherwise the Snow Girl will probably come to you!"

Although Kitamura Kayo had no intention of scaring Xiaolan, Xiaolan was still shocked and her face turned pale.

Seeing this, Miyano Akemi stepped forward and hugged Xiaolan's shoulders, saying softly: "It's okay, Xiaolan, isn't Taki-kun still here? He will protect us!"

Thinking of Kitagawa Taki, Xiaolan felt a lot more at ease.

After helping the proprietress clean up, the two returned to the room.

Miyano Akemi told what had just happened.

"What? Lan, did you see the Snow Girl?"

Originally, Sonoko was a little excited, but when she saw that Xiaolan looked a little scared, she hurried to comfort her.

Kitagawa Taki walked to the window and looked at the mountain ridge in the distance.

"How about it? Wanna chase him out and take a look?"

Koizumi Hongzi stood next to Kitagawa Taki with a smile on her face.

"No, I'll go check it out later."

If we chase her now, the Snow Girl will have disappeared long ago.

"Lan, let's go take a hot spring bath and stop thinking about the Snow Girl." Sonoko pulled Xiaolan up.

"Miho-sister, Ai-chan, Anko, come on, let's go together."

Kitagawa Taki followed with a bath towel.

"Hey, Taki, the men's bath is over there!" Seeing Kitagawa Taki following her, Sonoko pushed Kitagawa Taki to another entrance not far away.

Sonoko laughed, "Taki, you can only take a bath alone this time."

Kitagawa Taki felt cheated.

I thought it was a mixed bathing area for men and women, but it turns out there are separate baths for men and women.

And the girl Yuanzi must have known about it a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't tell him clearly.

Beichuan Taki came closer and said, "Then you have to compensate me next time."

Sonoko was slightly taken aback. "Compensation? Compensation for what?"

"Of course, together..."

Yuanzi neither refused nor agreed, and ran over with a slightly red face.

Kitagawa Taki took a shower in the bathroom and walked into the hot spring. He found that the hot spring was divided into two halves by a wooden wall.

On the other side were five girls, and I could hear their talking and fighting.

Three women make a drama, and the five women together chattering, forming a sharp contrast with the coldness on Kitagawa Taki's side.

At this moment, Sonoko suddenly asked loudly: "Taki, can you hear me?"

Kitagawa Taki did not answer.

"Taki, why don't you speak?"

"I know you can hear me. Do you want to come over?" Yuanzi became more and more outrageous as she spoke.

Xiaolan called out softly: "Yuanzi!"

Yuanzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the wall is so high, he can't get over it."

Kitagawa Taki heard their words clearly, and they were trying to tease him in return.

It would be so boring to be Zhu Bajie who peeks at the spider spirit taking a bath. If you want to be someone else, just be Sun Wukong who immobilizes the seven fairies.

Kitagawa Taki then turned over and jumped over.

thump!

Kitagawa Taki fell into the hot spring, splashing huge water.

"Ah!" Several women exclaimed at the same time.

No one expected that Kitagawa Taki would actually come over, but fortunately they were all wrapped in bath towels.

Kitagawa Taki looked at the girls with a smile. It was not known whether it was because of the hot spring or because they were shy, but the girls all turned into steam girls with flushed faces. In the steaming hot spring, they had a hazy beauty.

"How about it?"

"You can get over here from such a high place?!" Sonoko knew that Kitagawa Taki could climb over the wall, but she didn't expect him to be so good at it. She forgot that Kitagawa Taki was holding someone last time.

Now with the addition of Kitagawa Taki, the women instantly became restrained, not to mention Sonoko and the others, even Miyano Akemi was the same.

Only Haibara Ai remained calm. She didn't believe that Kitagawa Taki would do anything out of line.

"You guys keep playing and chatting! Just pretend I don't exist." Kitagawa Taki put his hands behind his head and leaned against the hot spring.

"How could I pretend you didn't exist? The look in your eyes..." Sonoko was too embarrassed to continue.

Others nodded.

They were clearly wrapped in bath towels, but under Kitagawa Taki's scorching gaze, they looked like they were not wearing anything.

Several women acted like ostriches and huddled to the other side, clearly separated from Beichuan Taki.

Beichuan Taki was a little amused. Sonoko and the others were fine, but why was Miyano Akemi so shy? He thought about increasing his training when he got home.

"Are you going to stay over there? This hot spring is so wide." Kitagawa Taki asked deliberately.

"Ahem, since Taki wants to go together, then let's go together. Anyway, it's no big deal anyway."

Koizumi Akako pretended to be generous and moved to the middle, leaning towards Kitagawa Taki.

Kitagawa Taki always felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Yuanzi was not to be outdone and started moving as well.

Only Xiaolan and the Miyano sisters remained where they were.

Ten minutes later.

The girls were all feeling a little dizzy after soaking in the water. They wanted to wait for Kitagawa Taki to leave first, but he turned out to be as if nothing had happened.

So, several women stood up and fled from the hot spring.
