Sekijou is sleepwalking

"Excuse me."

Naoki and Furuhashi enter the apartment.

Sekijou's new apartment wasn't big, only 20 to 30 square meters, with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, small balcony, although it was small, it had all the internal organs.

Then there's the bed, the desk, and the wardrobe, which at first glance doesn't look like there's an attic at all.

"Wait a moment."

Sekijou stepped forward swiftly, and tucked the underwear on the bed under the covers.

Don't hide it, Naoki can see it clearly!

Sure enough, if a girl stayed home alone, she would be reckless and wild!

Sekijou's face turned red and said:

"What do you want to drink? There's oolong tea and cola in the fridge."

"Oolong tea." Furuhashi raised her hand and said softly "It's clearly visible in the room, there's no place to hide people, Sawako needn't worry, there's no evil person secretly hiding in the house."

Furuhashi said and looked at Naoki: "Asakawa-san, did you find anything?"

"Not." Naoki shook his head, his eyes swept around the apartment, "It looks like an ordinary apartment, maybe we won't know the truth until an abnormal phenomenon appears at night."

"There's one more place that hasn't been checked yet." Ogata suddenly said.

"Eh?" Sekijou was shocked, "Where?"

"Under the bed." Ogata had a serious expression and lowered his voice, "In Unusual Stories in one volume, someone is hiding under the bed."

Hearing those words, Sekijou's face turned pale again.

Sekijou panicked and ran out of bed, clasping his hands together with a strained expression, "No way?"

"Fumino, don't be scary." Furuhashi was in a state of body switching, "It's dirty under the bed, surely no one will hide inside."

Furuhashi looked at Naoki while speaking.

Followed by Sekijou and Ogata turned their heads.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Naoki said speechlessly.

"Asakawa-san, I leave it to you." Furuhashi pointed "Go and check under the bed."

Ogata followed: "I'll leave it to you."

"Better for me to leave." Sekijou doesn't want to lose face in front of Ogata.

Naoki walked over to the bed and knelt down on one knee.

It was getting dark by then, and even though the lights were turned on, the light couldn't shine under the bed at all. Looking to the side, only darkness could be seen.

Naoki turned on his cell phone's flashlight and shone it under the bed.

The three girls held their breath and waited nervously.

"Asakawa-san, is there nothing under the bed?" Furuhashi asked softly.

Naoki said. "Sorry, there's something."

"Eh?!"

Hearing that answer, the three girls panicked and immediately hugged each other.

Naoki put his hand under the bed, and quickly took out a dull colored orb.

"Themari ball?"

Furuhashi quickly recognized what Naoki was holding.

"Sawako, why are there temari balls under the bed?" Ogata looked at Sekijou curiously.

"I don't know." Sekijou shook his head, "It's not mine… It should have been left behind by the previous occupants.

"Asakawa-san." Furuhashi asked. "Other than the temari balls under the bed, is there anything else?"

"No more." Naoki shook his head, and threw the Temari in his hand onto the floor with great flexibility, "Just a ball of Temari."

"It should be something left behind by a previous occupant." Sekijou breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's just throw it away…"

Before those words finished, Sekijou suddenly felt a chill coming over her, and couldn't help but shiver.

"The window is open, the wind is very cold."

....

Unknowingly, it was already more than 6 in the afternoon. After confirming that there would be no one else in the room, Sekijou quickly cheered up: "Everyone, let's go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients, and cook for ourselves in the evening. It's been a few days since I moved here, I haven't cooked myself."

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Ogata: "Udon Noodles."

"Eh?" Sekijou was surprised "Rizu-san likes to eat udon noodles? Why would Fumino want to eat it too?"

Furuhashi imitated Ogata's usual appearance, and pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Because udon noodles are the best dish in the world, there's no one who doesn't like them."

Naoki said from the side "Ogata is right."

"Then buy some udon noodles and save them for breakfast tomorrow morning." Sekijou nodded in agreement. "Anyway, it feels like Furuhashi-san and Rizu-san have switched people."

"Huh, does Sawako know?"

Furuhashi was surprised and hurriedly looked at Naoki.

Naoki shook his head.

...

The group walked out of the apartment and soon came to a supermarket not far away.

"Buy a box of tofu and make mapo tofu at night, I have studied it specially."

Sekijou took a box of tofu and put it in the shopping cart.

"And onions, you can make your own takoyaki at night."

The three girls walked in front chatting, and Naoki was half a step behind, in charge of pushing the carriage.

"By the way, buy some snacks, tomato-flavored potato chips are limited to winter, highly recommended."

"Buy another bag of oranges. In winter must eat oranges."

"And the drink, the new juice tastes great."

Naoki agrees to go out to buy vegetables, but they end up buying lots of snacks, drinks, and fruits at the back, don't go shopping with the girls in the supermarket, or you will get tired and break your legs.

Buy good stuff and come back to the apartment with big bag and small bag.

Naoki put down the shopping bag in his hand, "Would you like to help?"

"No need." Sekijou refused "Leave the cooking to me, Furuhashi-san, and Rizu-san can watch TV by herself."

Naoki looked at Furuhashi and asked, "What are you doing now?"

As Naoki all know, Furuhashi is a culinary idiot, and his level is comparable to Mafuyu.

"Not afraid." Furuhashi was sure, "Now Ogata uses my body."

A genius in science, Ogata has extremely precise control over heat and spices. Besides, she was born into a family of udon noodles, so his cooking is actually quite good.

After a while, Sekijou's voice came from the kitchen.

"Furuhashi-san is amazing, every grated potato is exactly the same, and the knife worker is already a chef."

Furuhashi sat down next to Naoki and hummed proudly.

It's not you who is being praised, what makes you happy!

"Why you are here?" Naoki asked.

"The table is a bit high." Furuhashi had a grim expression, "This is a little out of reach."

"Then you can step on the chair..."

As soon as the voice fell, she was attacked by Furuhashi.

"Enough to step on a small stool!"

So Sekijou and Ogata were cooking in the kitchen, while Naoki and Furuhashi were leisurely watching TV outside.

Honestly, it feels good enough to do nothing and just wait to eat.

"Eat the oranges." Naoki cracked an orange and put it into Furuhashi's mouth.

Furuhashi opened his mouth.

After eating a piece of orange, Furuhashi quickly calmed down.

...

After dinner, they sat around the table, studying and watching TV.

Suddenly, an art exhibition news on TV catches the attention of several girls.

"Art exhibition." Sekijou propped his chin with his right hand and complained, "If this is the world of Detective Conan, once this kind of news appears, it's the same as raising the flag, and Kaito Kid will appear."

"I just want to know when Detective Conan will be promoted to the second grade of elementary school." Furuhashi was lying on the table, "When I was in first grade, Conan was in first grade, and now is in second grade, Conan is still in first grade, it's too scary."

Ogata suddenly said:

"You saw the statues, the faces look the same?"

On the TV, there are several statues of ancient Greek women on display. The figure is different, but the face is indeed very similar.

"It's really similar." Sekijou nodded. "Could it be prosopagnosia?"

"I watch foreign movies, and often can't recognize who is who."

"It's not face blindness." Naoki twirled the pencil at his fingertips and said, "The faces of these statues don't look alike, they are clearly the same person."

"Did you know about it?" Naoki looked at the TV "Venus with a broken arm, this face too?"

Furuhashi muttered: "It seems that it is true."

Sekijou nodded: "They do look very similar though."

Naoki said again:

"Have you ever heard of the story of the court undressing and not guilty on the spot?"

"I know." Ogata raised his hand, "Phryni, a famous ancient Greek, was accused of blasphemy. In court, the defense tore Furini's clothes. How can such beautiful breasts…"

"Cough cough cough." Furuhashi quickly stretched out his hand and covered Ogata's mouth, "You think about it, you don't need to talk about the following content."

In short, this is a story that as long as you look good, you can be acquitted in court.

Sekijou blinked: "You just said Venus with a broken arm..."

"That's right." Naoki nodded and said, "The third face of Venus is that of Phryni."

As a goddess, no one knew what she looked like, but Phryni was a real person, it had to be mentioned that Phryni was a famous prostitute.

So Venus in Roman mythology and Aphrodite in Greek mythology all have the faces of famous harlots!

Because it was the first life-size female statue, Phryni directly influenced generations to come for thousands of years. The faces of countless female statues could find Phryni's shadow. This is the Venus of flowing water and Phryni clad in iron.

...

Reading, studying, rambling about TV shows, and eating oranges and snacks, time flies by, and it's already 10 in the evening.

"Hoam~..."

Ogata yawns.

"You are sleepy?" Sekijou closed the book, got up and said, "I'll get the blanket out. After putting it down, wash your face and brush your teeth, and sleep."

"Sawako, when will the phenomenon you mentioned appear?" asked Furuhashi.

"About 11pm." Sekijou held his chin and recalled, "It's usually the middle of the night."

Furuhashi exclaimed: "Then you can still live, it's great."

"That's why I thought it was because of bad wiring at first, but it just didn't feel right the last two days..."

The three girls worked together and quickly laid the tatami.

"Asakawa-san." Sekijou pointed at a corner, "You sleep there."

"No problem sleeping." Naoki said speechlessly "The key is why is it so far away from Ogata?"

"Of course to prevent you from bullying Rizu-san at night." Sekijou said of course, "You have to keep your distance."

"Okay."

Naoki lay away from the three girls.

"I turned off the light?" Sekijou asked for advice gently.

Furuhashi whispered, "Is there a night light?"

"Yes, I will look for it."

Found a small night light, turned on the light, the dim light dispelled the night, and Furuhashi was relieved.

Due to the death of his mother when he was young, Furuhashi became accustomed to sleeping with the nightlight on at night, especially in unfamiliar surroundings.

Naoki lay quietly in a secluded corner, listening to the three girls gossip together, occasionally speaking.

...

It was 11 p.m.

It was quiet outside, and in the middle of the night, needles could be heard falling.

Ogata's little head bit by bit, obviously already sleepy.

"Sawako." Furuhashi looked at the TV that had been turned off, and asked softly, "When did the symptoms you mentioned appear?"

"Should be soon." Sekijou replied, "It's already late anyway… I'm a little sleepy now, everyone can sleep first."

"That's why it's so important to go to bed early and wake up early." After Furuhashi complained, she suddenly widened her eyes and raised her voice, "Ehhh, are you okay Sawako?"

When Naoki heard the movement, he turned his head and looked up. For some reason, Sekijou suddenly sat up, his hair covering his cheeks, looking a little gloomy unexpectedly.

But Sekijou didn't respond, she just lowered his head, letting his long hair cover his cheeks, and suddenly crossed Furuhashi and Ogata's bodies, and crawled towards Naoki.

"It is not good." Ogata opens his eyes wide and says, "Sawako is sleepwalking!"
