Singers who suddenly become popular and then disappear are really everywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confrontational atmosphere made Akaso Kaze frown slightly, and his impression of Shibasaki Asuka and Anzai Ema immediately became much worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a show produced by his company, it would be absolutely impossible to invite such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was not his company's project after all, and he didn't know the plans of the female editor and the others, so he didn't speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it was just a chance encounter, no need to worry about other people's business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at the snow scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window and praised, \"The scenery here is really nice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As long as you like it,\" the landlady smiled happily, leading everyone away from the lobby as she said, \"Your room is just through the corridor ahead. If you need anything, just let us know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Akaso Kaze was walking at the very back; feeling something, he turned his head. The introverted singer, Fukatsu Harumi, happened to be looking at him, and upon being discovered, she immediately lowered her head, her face turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The landlady slid open the paper door, led Akaso Kaze into the room, and helped pour a cup of hot tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the living room, one could also see the snowy scenery outside; there were even some long-sleeved kimonos hanging up, just like in the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are some here too,\" Akaso Kaze asked curiously, \"Landlady, you have long-sleeved kimonos and sashes hanging everywhere here. Is there a story behind that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every household here worships the Kimono Sleeve God, and every family has such decorations,\" the landlady laughed, \"It's very common around here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Kimono Sleeve God, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze put away his luggage and walked to the window to look outside: \"It seems the snow has stopped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's still early before dinner,\" the landlady suggested, \"Would you like to take a walk around the village? Although there's only the snowy scenery right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go out for a walk then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze looked at the snow-covered mountains bathed in sunlight with quite a bit of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when it was snowing, the mountains seemed even more beautiful, and the air was exceptionally fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village was not very large, but the houses were scattered in a well-ordered manner among the hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of the cleared paths, many wintersweet flowers were in bloom, and thick white snow piled up on the scattered houses, making them look like snow huts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after the heavy snow stopped, the mountain birds began to move about again, chirping incessantly in the snowy forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze unexpectedly ran into the singer Fukatsu Harumi, who was also touring the village; she looked as if she had something to say but was holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than saying they ran into each other, it was more that Fukatsu Harumi had sought him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you familiar with this village, Miss Harumi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, no,\" Fukatsu Harumi said in a fluster, \"I just wanted to go see the shrine because a senior from my university used to talk about the Kimono Sleeve Cherry Blossoms here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two strolled for a while and ended up walking with Akechi Eri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, the Kimono Sleeve God has another name,\" Akechi Eri explained while looking at the Kimono Sleeve God statue worshipped by the roadside, \"which is the Kimono Sleeve Hannya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kimono Sleeve Hannya?\" Akaso Kaze asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's a legend passed down from ancient times. It is said that in the past, there was a diligent and kind girl in this village named Xiaohua. One day, she saved an injured samurai on the road.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To repay her, the samurai gave her many beautiful long-sleeved kimonos and sashes. Later, the village chief's two daughters, out of jealousy, deliberately framed Xiaohua, causing her to be taken away by the authorities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the night Xiaohua was executed, the two sisters spread out the long-sleeved kimonos and sashes they had obtained. Just as they were excited, the lights suddenly went out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the village chief's family heard their screams and rushed over, the younger sister was already dead on the spread-out long-sleeved kimono, and the older sister had drowned in the garden pond, her body wrapped in many sashes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akechi Eri put her hands in her coat pockets and turned to look at a shrine halfway up the mountain ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The villagers knew Xiaohua died with a grievance, so they built a shrine for her and treated her as the village's guardian deity. That is why everyone worships the Kimono Sleeve God now; that over there is the shrine known as the Kimono Sleeve God Grand Shrine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze narrowed his eyes as he looked at the shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's right here,\" Fukatsu Harumi walked up to a large tree in front of the shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This tree is the Kimono Sleeve Cherry Blossom; it is already 500 years old. Every spring, the branches are completely covered in flowers, just like pairs of beautiful kimono sleeves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze followed her gaze to the bare branches, imagining that beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Miss Harumi, was that university senior you mentioned from this village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't heard the senior say that, but she did live here.\" Fukatsu Harumi looked at the big tree with nostalgia, \"If she were still alive, she would probably have come to see it too, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze was stunned and did not continue to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death is a topic that can never be avoided in this world, whether it is a natural death or an unnatural one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before dinner, the Qinwu Inn became a bit livelier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many tourists gathered in the leisure lobby, either playing ping-pong or playing video games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze also changed into a yukata and walked into the leisure lobby, holding a bath towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the leisure lobby was the cliff valley; the inn had built a winding staircase leading down to the open-air hot spring below, the rising steam making it look like a fairyland on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, soaking in a hot spring in winter has more atmosphere, especially in this deep mountain snow forest; the only pity is that there is no mixed bathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze entered the water, soaking comfortably in the pool with only his head floating on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun set, the silver-clad mountains were covered in a layer of twilight colors. The beautiful scenery was fully in view, and the relaxation effect was much better than an ordinary hot spring; Akaso Kaze almost wanted to soak like this for a whole day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, soaking in a hot spring for too long is actually bad for the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the hot spring, heavy snow began to fall in the snow village again at night. Akaso Kaze was invited by the producer, Bandong, to dine together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone drank a few glasses. Editor Yasuda and Akechi Eri looked over after chatting about the new play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Akaso,\" Anzai Ema, who had just tentatively asked Akechi Eri to arrange more scenes for her, looked at Akaso Kaze with a smile, \"I heard you also opened an entertainment company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct.\" Akaso Kaze nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Akaso,\" Anzai Ema seemed not to have heard what Akaso Kaze said; she leaned in and acted cute, saying, \"I heard your company has a new play to film this time. Can you recommend me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't participate in casting,\" Akaso Kaze said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was full of refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say that. You are a big boss after all; the director will definitely consider your opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll talk about it when the time comes.\" Akaso Kaze looked at Anzai Ema, who was pouting in dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never encountered this kind of woman before; she seemed to be the princess of a large enterprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, why would he recommend an actor for no reason, let alone this kind of corporate princess who is neither a professional actor nor has a very good personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps feeling that there was no chance with Akaso Kaze, Anzai Ema drank in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akechi Eri watched this scene, smiled lightly, and toasted Akaso Kaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, Lord Akaso is only in his 20s, yet you have already built such a reputation and family business.\" Akechi Eri looked at Akaso Kaze with sparkling eyes, \"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have been able to believe it. Geniuses really do exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, it's nothing. Aren't there many high school student detectives?\" Akaso Kaze smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are far from being comparable to you,\" Akechi Eri laughed, \"Honestly, Lord Akaso is very suitable to be the prototype for the male lead in my story this time, although it is just a female-oriented drama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's forget about that,\" Akaso Kaze smiled and changed the subject, \"However, why did you come here to discuss the new play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because Miss Eri often creates in this village all year round,\" the female editor Yasuda replied, \"I heard the hot springs here are quite good, so we all came over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akechi Eri smiled faintly: \"By the way, are you going to soak in the hot spring later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already went during the day,\" Akaso Kaze answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The night is different from the day, and it's a bit cold. You will sleep better after soaking in the hot water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Then I'll see later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze looked at the snowy night outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was nothing to do at night anyway, going to the open-air hot spring again seemed not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Akaso Kaze left the table to return to his guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"P-please wait, Lord Akaso!\" Fukatsu Harumi suddenly chased after him in a hurry, calling out to Akaso Kaze with a hesitant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Harumi?\" Akaso Kaze asked in confusion, \"Is something the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually,\" Fukatsu Harumi looked back at the dining room and bit her lower lip, \"I have something I want to ask of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it? You can take your time and tell me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the guest room, Akaso Kaze looked at Fukatsu Harumi sitting across from him at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five years ago,\" Fukatsu Harumi said softly, clutching the corner of her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The year I was a junior in college, a senior was accused of selling prohibited drugs at school, and the drugs were found in her locker. To clear her name, she jumped from the school building and just died like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akaso Kaze frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered this incident; it seemed like someone was about to die again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The senior you mentioned, could it be the one you mentioned at the Kimono Sleeve Cherry Blossom tree earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Fukatsu Harumi nodded gently, \"Her name was Suzuka Sakurako. She was a kind senior who loved cherry blossoms. I know her too well; a senior with a somewhat weak personality could absolutely not have sold drugs at school!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Fukatsu Harumi looked earnestly at Akaso Kaze: \"Lord Akaso, I beg you, please reinvestigate this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I would like to help, however,\" Akaso Kaze frowned and said, \"it has already been five years; I'm afraid it's a bit late to investigate now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1907,"2026-06-17T04:11:58.885Z","2026-06-17T04:20:23.289Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d10fe39ae1a6a7baeb8bf8a401d62b72ac25fe97893b25adae63db65e3e19fdd","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-402","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-400",403,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-cover.jpg"]
