Traveling through the world of the book, but there seem to be too many heroines

But Chen Ran soon discovered.

I don't have any good friends with Mrs. Tsubakiri at all.

Yes.

I have only been in the hotel for two days and haven't even spoken a few words to Mrs. Tsubaki, so how can I be her good friend?

I don’t have any friends, so how did she send me a message?

So, was everything that happened last night really just a dream?

All of a sudden I just felt extremely strange.

But the fact seems to be so. It can't be that I deleted Mrs. Tsubakiri's friend after I came back last night.

correct.

How did you get back last night?

Ugh... my head hurts...

Rubbing his forehead.

Chen Ran just felt extremely tired, so tired that he didn't even have the mind to...well, stand up straight.

Even now, that stupid guy Jiang Zilin, with almost half of his body pressed on him, was sleeping soundly.

Her two fat lumps... just pressing against her face, it makes me want to teach her a lesson! !

But even so, I still don't have any sad thoughts.

so tired.

I shouldn't be so tired.

Too lazy to think about what happened yesterday, Chen Ran decided to sleep for a while and continue to recover his energy...

……

I slept until almost noon.

The women in the family had already gotten up early.

Today we said we were going to visit the Shinkotsurugawa River at the foot of the mountain, which is Miss Rinko’s hometown.

However, the bus to the hotel only comes back around noon and in the evening - the one that I and others took from Sapporo does not count.

The buses that run between Tsurukawa and Sapporo only run every two or three days. They are reserved by passengers and will only depart when there are enough people.

and so.

It was around eleven o'clock when the bus arrived outside the hotel.

Jiang Lengleng came and woke him up, saying that they were going to town.

Chen Ran guessed that they saw that she looked sleepy, so they let her sleep a little longer.

So he quickly washed up, got dressed, and took the steamed dumplings and hot soy milk that Sister Leng Leng handed to him, which they had left for him for breakfast.

We soon arrived at the hotel and prepared to take a bus to Hechuan at the foot of the mountain.

In fact, if it is normal.

You don't have to take a car. When the weather is good, you can walk to the town at the foot of the mountain in about an hour or two.

But on a snowy day, you can’t walk down the mountain because there is too much snow.

I have been here for two or three days.

Probably, even Jiang Ruohua and Jiang Zilin, two people who have never seen snow, know that heavy snow is actually very inconvenient for life.

Mrs. Tsubaki was also standing in front of the inn.

Got outside.

She changed into a thick black down jacket and a colorful scarf, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

Just leave your luggage here, there will be rooms reserved for everyone, so go and have fun without worry.

But I don’t know why.

Chen Ran always felt that the gentle and smiling innkeeper's wife, with her trembling peach blossom eyes, would look at him from time to time...

Chapter 15: A cult organization in the world of SeSe?

The bus carefully took almost an hour to get through the mountains and forests to Miss Yamashita Rinko's hometown, Tsurukawa.

The last time I saw the town was at night.

Therefore, we can only rely on the dim street lights and the faint light from the windows of the houses, and cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture of the town.

Now, when I go down the mountain at noon and look through the forest and cliffs on one side, I can have a very comprehensive "grasp" of the town.

Chen Ran sat by the window.

The snowflakes are falling heavily today, like soft goose feathers, slowly falling from the sky.

There is a thick layer of snow between the branches of the trees in the mountains and forests, which falls down from time to time.

Including both sides of the road.

There was thick white snow piled up everywhere, almost like a small hill.

Looking down from above, the entire town of Hechuan looks like a "田" grid. It seems to be mainly composed of two streets, forming a cross in the middle, and then begins to extend outward, with circles of straight paths attached to the main road.

There were two or three layers of it.

What Ms. Rinko said is true. This is a very small town, with probably less than 10,000 people living here all year round, and maybe even fewer now.

When the bus arrived at the foot of the mountain, before entering the town, we could see large tracts of farmland, now covered with thick snow.

However, you can occasionally see large greenhouses.

Jiang Zilin sat next to them and kept saying that they would make a snowman when they got to Miss Rinko's house!

She had wanted to build a snowman for a long time, but at the inn, although there was a courtyard outside and such, there wasn't much space - it was just flower beds and planted trees.

But it’s different when it comes to Miss Rinko.

It is said that there is a very large yard.

After the bus arrived in town, everyone got off and had a meal at an ordinary family restaurant.

Then according to the plan.

I plan to go to the only supermarket in town to buy some daily necessities, and then stay at Miss Rinko's house tonight. When the time comes, I can choose to go back to the hotel on the mountain or stay in the town.

It's like having two places to live.

Chen Ran remembered.

At the hot spring hotel, the room fee was also paid by Miss Rinko. Jiang Ruohua felt a little embarrassed, but Miss Rinko said it was okay.

but.

This girl really seems to be a hidden rich woman - she is a great writer, and her published novels make a lot of money, and she is a stay-at-home who doesn't spend much money.

Chen Ran thought so.

While eating, I suddenly noticed that there was a shrine on one side of the restaurant - this is quite common in the countryside. I remember there was one in the lobby of the hot spring hotel, and the "Inari Fox God" was enshrined on it.

Chen Ran still remembered that the stone-carved white fox statue was quite cute, with a black bow around its neck.

I think it's the fox god in the fox shrine on the mountain that Ms. Rinko mentioned.

But the shrine in the small restaurant in front of me.

Although the style is similar to that of a hot spring hotel, the god enshrined inside is not the Inari fox god, but a piece of paper, or rather, a photo.

As if sealed in a beautifully framed photo, there are six outstretched fingers and an open eye in the center of the palm.

The whole photo gives people a very real feeling. It doesn't look like a PS work or a painting. It makes it look as if someone's hand looks like this.

It has six fingers and an eye inside.

This weird sense of reality makes people feel creepy all of a sudden, especially when it is enshrined in a shrine, which makes people feel a little unsure of how to evaluate it.

Of course Chen Ran remembered it quickly.

I saw this pattern on the wall in the bathroom of Ayaka's "base camp" at the inn at the foot of Mt. Takao.

So, what kind of religious symbol is this?

So while eating, Chen Ran asked the proprietress, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her 50s or 60s, who was serving the dishes.

"Auntie, are you religious?"

Looking at the shrine in the restaurant, Chen Ran saw a gentle smile on the face of the restaurant proprietress. She clasped her hands together in a bow and then spoke.

"We are all believers in the God of Truth. You are all tourists from outside, right? The God of Truth also came from the south. Don't you know that?"

"Well, I think I've seen it on TV."

Among the crowd, only Jiang Ruohua spoke like this, and Jiang Zilin also pretended to be thinking about something, and then after being reminded by her mother, she seemed to remember it.

"Yes, it is a very popular religion. It has become very popular in recent years."

"Yes, we are also recent converts."

The restaurant owner continued to smile.

He also said that there was a church of the Truth Church in the town, and if he and others were interested, they could go and have a look.

Of course Chen Ran just nodded and agreed casually.

Because I grew up under the red flag before I traveled through time, my first reaction to this kind of church was that it was some kind of "cult organization."

But it depends on the situation.

In today's world, cults seem to be quite common?

But come to think of it, in the world of Sese books, there seem to be some cult themes, although they are relatively niche, so no wonder... um.

shook his head.

After dinner, when Chen Ran went to the supermarket in the center of the town to buy things, he saw the crossroads in the center of the town.

Listen to Ms. Rinko.

It should be the newly built Church of Truth. Inside the wooden walls painted blue, middle-aged men and women wearing down jackets and looking like believers were sweeping the snow while wearing hats of somewhat strange styles.

Some of them gathered together and seemed to be talking about something.

The church is a three-story brick and tile structure covered with pure white tiles. The most important symbol is the church symbol on the front, which is made of colored bricks.

That is, a palm with six fingers and eyes.

Judging from the small light bulbs surrounding it, it seems to light up at night, which is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

There were middle-aged women distributing flyers in front of the church.

Because they were waiting outside the supermarket for Jiang Ruohua and the others - the girls had a lot of daily necessities to buy, so they hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and after buying the things, they got in the taxi and headed to Miss Rinko's old house.

And Chen Ran was responsible for watching outside.

result.

I was spotted by an old lady handing out flyers outside the church, who insisted on dragging me inside to attend some mass.

After repeatedly refusing, the old lady had no choice but to stuff a flyer into his hand. She kept muttering to herself as she left, which made Chen Ran feel a little strange.

Of course, Chen Ran quickly threw the flyer into the trash can on the side of the road.

While waiting for Jiang Ruohua and the others to come out of the supermarket with bags of things, and then beckoning them to get in the car.

What Chen Ran didn't notice was.

It seemed that at a corner of the long street, there was a pair of eyes that seemed to be watching me from beginning to end...

Chapter 16: New Skill - Smash Varudo!!

Miss Rinko's home is located deep in the long street on the edge of the town. A little further ahead is an endless expanse of farmland. Of course, now it only looks like a vast expanse of snow.

Although no one lives there for most of the year.
