Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 324 The Secret on the Note
The note was written crookedly in charcoal ash: "Friendly reminder, Sakayanagi is weak, drink more hot water to alleviate the symptoms of poisoning, and it will take at least one day to return to normal."

Ryuen was really angry. It would be better if he hadn't found this piece of paper. Ayanokouji knew that Sakayanagi was weak, but couldn't he have prevented Sakayanagi from eating poisonous mushrooms? Could it be that Sakayanagi could prevent Ayanokouji from escaping?
Moreover, the timing when Horikita discovered the note was too coincidental, which made Ryuuen wonder whether Ayanokouji did it on purpose, and the purpose might be to strengthen the relationship between Sakayanagi and Ryuuen. After all, the so-called feelings need to be cultivated through events, and the stronger the feelings, the more hardships they need to go through. Previously, Ayanokouji had shown signs of deliberately bringing Ryuuen and Sakayanagi closer together.

Why did Ayanokouji do this? Does he still have the energy and interest to care about other people's emotional lives?

No matter how he thought about it, it was strange. Ryuuen always felt that Ayanokouji had bad intentions.

Ryuen checked the note and found that there was indeed no extra information, so he threw the note directly into the firewood. As a wisp of gray smoke rose, it disappeared in a burst of fireworks. Horikita wanted to stop Ryuen, but he didn't react at all.

"It's just a piece of torn paper, don't take it too seriously."

Ryuuen didn't understand why Horikita cared so much about the note. Just now, she wanted to reach into the fire to save the note.

"What if there are other clues on the note?"

Horikita was obviously very dissatisfied with Ryuuen's behavior. Even if it was a useless note, there was no need to burn it immediately.

Ryuen shook his head. "You should have checked the note when you found it. There won't be any other information on it. Besides, Ayanokouji wouldn't choose to let us guess at this time. It's not efficient. You still don't know Ayanokouji very well."

Horikita wanted to refute something, but she couldn't say anything. She did check the note more than once, but to no avail. Just as Ryuuen said, she didn't know Ayanokouji at all. She couldn't even find out that Ayanokouji wanted to escape. What did she know? Did she know Ryuuen in front of her? Even if they had been lovers for a while, did she really know Ryuuen?
Once Horikita fell into this kind of self-doubt, the aura around her became completely dark.

Horikita is not a child, and Ryuuen does not really want to be an old father. He cannot counsel Horikita every time. Horikita needs to think for herself, discover and solve her own problems in order to grow, so this time Ryuuen did not disturb Horikita's depressed mood and left her alone.

Ryuuen stood up and headed towards the woods.

"Where are you going, Ryuuen-kun? Dinner is about to start."

Ichinose's voice came from behind, and Ryuen turned his back to Ichinose and waved his hand: "Go to the bathroom, I'll be back soon."

After walking behind a tree, Ryuen didn't really want to go to the toilet. He pulled out the note from Ayanokouji's sleeve. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the note, but the handwriting was problematic. It's not that it wasn't Ayanokouji's handwriting, but Ayanokouji's handwriting was crooked, which was too strange. Ayanokouji could write in realistic printed characters. Although he wrote with charcoal ash, his handwriting shouldn't be so awkward.

Long Yuan looked at the note and looked at it in the sunlight for a long time, but the shy handwriting made him feel different. Could it be that Long Yuan was overthinking? Long Yuan shook his head and rejected this possibility.

Just as Ryuuen said to Horikita, Ayanokouji would not choose to go through the trouble of asking everyone to decrypt the secret at this time, but there is one exception, that is, Ayanokouji only wants to inform someone of the news.

Who could this person be?

Long Yuan arrogantly thought it was him, but after looking at the note for a long time he couldn't figure out anything, so he could only hide the note embarrassedly.

By the way, the note that was burned was prepared by Ryuuen in advance. He had originally intended to use it to solve Sakayanagi's problem, but he didn't expect it to be unnecessary.

The note was written by Ryuuen imitating Ayanokouji's handwriting. The general meaning was similar to the note left by Ayanokouji, both saying that Sakayanagi's body would recover later, but there was no big problem. The difference was that the handwriting on the note prepared by Ryuuen was more sloppy, and it was actually very easy for people to find clues. That's why Ryuuen hesitated and didn't take it out yesterday. Now is a good opportunity to burn it.

Long Yuan walked back to the camp at a leisurely pace, and everyone was waiting for him.

"It's so slow, I'm starving!"

Kiriyama was the first to complain, but Ryuuen ignored him.

Everyone was very hungry, and after Ryuuen was in place, dinner began. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, after all, because of what happened yesterday with Ayanokouji, no one had much appetite, and today's dinner also included rabbit meat, so naturally everyone ate it with relish, even Sakayanagi ate a whole rabbit leg.

Since Long Yuan was in charge of hunting, it was naturally not his turn to clean up after the meal.

Ryuen, who had nothing to do, leaned against a tree, staring at the sunset in the distance. He didn't understand. He couldn't think of what special message Ayanokouji had left on the note. Was it really that Ryuen was overthinking, or was the shy writing just a prank by Ayanokouji? Ryuen thought of many possibilities, but the problem could not be solved, and his mood became even more irritable.

Sakayanagi walked to Ryuuen's side. She was not actually leaning on a cane. Life on the island actually improved Sakayanagi's physical fitness. It was a blessing in disguise.

"You seem troubled."

Sakayanagi stood behind Ryuuen, pressing her hands on Ryuuen's temples, giving him a head massage to help him relax.

"No."

As soon as Ryuuen finished speaking, Sakayanagi's strength increased. Although it didn't hurt, Ryuuen could already feel Sakayanagi's protest.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Your emotions are written all over your face."

"I thought I hid it pretty well."

Ryuuen laughed at himself.

Sakayanagi gently rubbed Ryuen's brow like coaxing a child: "Actually, it was well hidden. I was the only one who discovered it. Maybe I'm smarter, or maybe we have a telepathic connection."

"Sakayanagi actually boasts about her intelligence. It turns out that she is so narcissistic."

"Am I not smart?"

Sakayanagi tilted her head with a cute expression, and Ryuuen couldn't give a negative answer. Sakayanagi was a true genius, and in terms of IQ, Ryuuen couldn't compare to her.

"You are too smart. Smart women are not popular."

Ryuuen closed his eyes and relaxed physically and mentally.

"Oh? Ryuuen doesn't like it either?"

Sakayanagi's soft voice rang in Ryuuen's ears.

This sentence is really full of ambiguity.

The one you don't like is Sakayanagi?
Or do you still not like smart girls?

So, smart girls are troublesome. Ryuuen tried to change the subject: "By the way, Sakayanagi, how come you also believe in telepathy? As smart as you are, have you also started to believe in metaphysics?"
