On the top of the high cliff stands a black wall, and fallen cherry blossoms fly out of the high wall and float towards the black sea.

Tonight, the waves are calm in Sagami Bay.

Atami is the name of a small coastal town. It is located at the end of the Izu Peninsula and is a famous hot spring town. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate, likes to visit Atami for bathing after the war, and Atami is famous for it.

The black high wall is the exterior wall of a local luxury mansion in Atami. The mansion is called the "Black Stone Official Residence" and was built in the middle of the Edo Shogunate period. When a generation of generals arrived at Atami on a boat, the clouds broke and the sun rose. The sea was sparkling. A black high cliff penetrated straight into Sagami Bay, like a domineering rock sword that fell from the sky and split the sea. The general liked its loneliness and cold beauty and decided to build an official residence on it. The official residence was the commanding height of Atami since its completion. It was almost surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the high walls and the sharp cliffs were integrated. The general sat on the mountain to watch the sea, and the messengers rode horses back and forth on the mountain road, passing his commands to all directions.

After the Meiji Restoration, the Blackstone Mansion was sold to the big merchants and turned into a private villa. Although it is no longer a forbidden area for the shogun, its terrain and layout are still the "throne" among all hot spring villas in Atami. Every morning, the first ray of sunshine in Atami shines on the exterior wall of the Blackstone Mansion, and each rock reflects sunlight. This building, which has experienced wind and frost, is like a black warrior wearing iron scales, standing upright on the shimmering sea, guarding the small town.

The old man walked with the wall, carrying a white lantern with a light light on the light of fire. His name is Hiroki Kimura, and he is the butler of the Black Stone Mansion. He has served here for more than 30 years and witnessed the rise and fall of this place.

The former host was a famous director. He held luxurious parties here every weekend, including spirits, fireworks, night dresses, and helicopters to pick up VIP guests from the airport and then sent them to the high cliff. But within a few years, the director was short of money and could not continue the party. It was not that the guests were given food, drink and poverty, but that the maintenance cost of the Black Stone Mansion was astonishingly high. It was a cultural relic protected by the government. The stone used for maintenance must come from Kobe Mountain, the wood must come from far away Hokkaido, and the carving must be made by craftsmen who are proficient in traditional Japanese handicrafts to maintain the original flavor. In this way, the maintenance cost per decade is equivalent to the housing price.

The director had to bear the pain of giving up and listed the Blackstone Official Residence for sale. However, interested buyers heard that the amazing maintenance fee of the official residence was difficult to get a refund. In the end, even the real estate company that was selling agents withdrew. In the words of the real estate manager, who would buy an expensive building like an emperor's palace to soak in hot springs in this era? The director was desperate and hung the Blackstone Official Residence on ebay[1] with the mentality of trying it out. At that time, online auctions were still new, and all kinds of new things were sold on ebay, even fighter jets and tanks. The director was looking forward to a sucker from overseas who would take over. If there was no one, it would be fine... Anyway, it was the case that the blind cat caught a rat.

Fifteen minutes after hanging up, someone transferred a deposit of 760 million yen to the director's account, and a man named "enxi" bought the Black Stone Mansion. The director was surprised and searched for the "enxi"'s transaction records, wanting to know which billionaire was lying in ebay with this name. The result was surprising. Apart from the Black Stone Mansion, enxi had never bought any big things on ebay. He only bought anime and games around, such as Ayaba's pillow and Chunli figures with hands and feet moving.

In other words, this enxi is a dead house, a magical dead house.

Fifteen days later, a promissory note from the Swiss bank was sent to the director, and enxi paid the full amount. A short note was sent to the promissory note, which stated the date when he was about to arrive at the Blackstone residence.

That day, Hiroki Kimura got up early, put on a black kimono, and led the servants to stand in front of the official residence to welcome him. He and the servants were looking forward to the debut of the new master. Everyone was guessing who he was, the chairman of the multinational group, the Arab oil tycoon, or the Saudi chief of the Sultan of Brunei?

The extended Lexus sedan drove along the winding mountain road and finally stopped in front of the official residence. The driver in uniform and white gloves walked out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door... Two Siamese cats jumped down and chased through the middle of the servants.

"The buyer is still in school and has no time to move in for the time being, so he sent the cat to see him." The driver shook hands with Hiroki Kimura, "I'll trouble you about feeding cats. The cat food is in my trunk."

Hiro Kimura looked at the backs of the pair of fat cats and suddenly felt that life was so empty. Before that, he always felt that he was the top powerhouse in Sebass. He received the "Golden Key Certification" issued by the Concierge organization at the age of 32. He has served celebrities, businessmen and political celebrities from all over the world, and has many friends from the upper class. But from this day on, he has become a cat slave... In the eyes of the new owner, his resume that looks down on his peers is not important at all, and his value of existence is to feed cats.

The pair of Siamese cats are not purebred. The purebred Siamese cats are slender and skinny. The two chubby and fat are probably hybridized by Siamese cats and Garfield cats. They can't sell for ten thousand yen when packed together.

The driver brought the fat cats' resumes, which stated their respective habits. They were all siblings, the beautiful and black-bellied one was the sister, and the stupid and cowardly one was the younger brother. This was quickly confirmed. When he ran to the door, his sister squatted aside gracefully and licked his paws. The idiot brother kept jumping up to take off the door handle. It seemed that he had already firmly firmly in his heart the concept of "serving the queen sister". After opening the door, the younger brother shrank and shook his head.

On the one hand, the Queen sister was kindly asked to step into this newly captured country first. From the perspective of the cat, the Blackstone Mansion was probably a country. It followed behind and wagged its tail happily. After a round, they fell in love with the fireplace area. The younger brother was responsible for building a nest. It dragged cardboard boxes and cotton mats from the storage room. The noble sister had no intention of participating in this lowly physical work. She always lay on the top of the fireplace to keep warm, and occasionally looked down at the busy silly brother.

"We can buy them a better cathouse," said Hiroki Kimura.

"It's not necessary. The resume says they prefer to build their own nests. It is said that when they picked it up, they were very survivable." The driver did not leave immediately, and stayed for a cup of sencha at the invitation of Hiroki Kimura.

"I understand, they actually have cathouses. The cathouse worth 100 million US dollars is called the Black Stone Residence." Hiroki Kimura smiled bitterly, "The master is such a fantasy person. Have you ever seen him?"

"How can I have this honor? I was just entrusted by someone to pick up the cat from the airport to the Black Stone Mansion. This is the strangest distinguished guest I have ever sent in my life." The driver said, "Although it was a small wild cat I picked up, the one who sent them to Japan was a private plane. It seems that they are very favored by their owners. The owner entrusted them to you, obviously trusting you very much."

"I was actually entrusted with such a valuable thing!" Kimura Hiross sighed, "But I didn't even have the chance to meet my master, nor did I know what his personality he has. People who do jobs like us know nothing about their master... It's really a headache."

"It is said that pets follow their owner's personality. You can understand their owner's personality by observing more of the cat."

"But the two cats have completely different personalities," Hiroki Kimura smiled bitterly, "the black-bellied sister and the little cowardly brother."

"Maybe the master may be schizophrenia." The driver lowered his voice, "Whether it is a black-bellied or a coward, the master is a psychopath, right?"

Hiroki Kimura smiled helplessly. It was very impolite to talk about the owner like this... But from the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to echo the driver.

From then on, two cats lived in the Blackstone residence, a housekeeper and several servants in charge of cleaning. An ancient building restoration company regularly sent people from Tokyo to repair the house, replacing old tatami, trimming the ancient cherry blossoms in the garden, and combing the cat's hair. Like the driver, they also used money to work and had never met the owner. The company signed a ten-year contract with the owner to maintain the Blackstone residence and ensure that it was in the best condition at any time in case the owner came.

But ten years have passed in a flash, and the former owner has passed away, but the new owner has not heard from him.

Every morning and evening, Hiro Kimura fills a pool of water in the hot spring pool facing the sea. The owner once asked the driver to bring a message saying that he hopes that there will be a pool of hot springs waiting for him at home at any time, but the quaint hot spring pool has been empty for ten years.

Hiroki Kimura grew older year by year, from a handsome and beautiful uncle to a twilight old man. In a few years, he would retire. When he was full of energy, he could not have imagined that the last part of his career would be so nonsense. He guarded an empty house year after year, and was as lonely as a tomb guard. The two cats had no change, but they were fatter again. The average age of cats was only more than ten years. They were old cats close to their deaths, but they could not see their oldness at all. Every year after they changed their hair, they would be as white as snow like kittens, and only after a month they gradually turned black and turned into cats. The sister bullied her younger brother day after day and chased her younger brother to run all over the room.

Ten years have passed, and the house has not changed, nor has the cats changed. Every night, they are waiting for the owner who has never appeared, and the only butler has aging. Sometimes Hiroki Kimura feels that this house is like a possessive. For the past ten years, it has been sleeping, waiting for the only, destined person to wake up.

The strong wind fell from the sky, causing cherry blossoms to scatter, and the garden seemed to have had pink snow.

Hiroki Kimura looked up and saw a black helicopter passing through the roof. This often happened. Young people from the Coast Guard were curious about this mansion and often took advantage of official business to fly helicopters to fly over the Black Stone official residence at a low altitude. However, there were no celebrities in the hot spring pool, but the garden fell all over every time.

"Gentlemen! Can't you fly higher? It's time-consuming to clean up the yard!" Kimura Hiroshi waved his hand angrily.

The sound of the wind blew up from the helicopter gradually faded away, and a moment later, a faint sound of water came from the depths of the garden.

Hiro Kimura was stunned at first, and then a burst of blood rushed over his head... It's not wrong, it's someone taking a bath in the hot spring! Under Hiro Kimura's strict management, of course, there will be no servant who dares to use the owner's exclusive hot spring pool. If the thief touched the official residence, he would have to go for those precious decorations. He would not have risked sneaking in to soak in the hot spring. After all the impossible situations were eliminated, the rest was the truth... The owner is here! The owner is finally here! The helicopter that flies over the roof is not from the Coast Guard, it is the owner's landline! The owner is airborne directly in the garden and has been bathed at this moment!

Hiro Kimura was so excited that his hands and feet trembled. Ten years of waiting had a result!

"Calm down! Calm down! Don't panic! Don't lose the dignity of the official residence!" he shouted in his heart.

Should I wear a kimono or a suit to greet me? Should I quickly blow up all the servants who are sleeping? Should I line up to welcome me? Should I prepare for midnight snacks? Hiro Kimura was a little confused. He never dreamed that his master would arrive in this way.

But then I thought that the first thing my master did after he got home was to soak in a hot spring. I guess he was not a person who paid attention to the show. Soaking in a hot spring is a leisurely enjoyment, and it was not good to serve a group of people. But it was obviously not possible to have no one to serve him. Hiroki Kimura ran to the garden.

In the corridor leading to the hot spring, there were pointed stilettos, skirts, stockings, sunglasses and lace underwear scattered everywhere... Hiroki Kimura was stunned, and the image of the master in his heart turned 180 degrees. From the scene in front of him, unless the master is a cross-dresser, he can only be a young girl. Hiroki Kimura quickly scanned the scene to analyze the situation. The master wore christiandior's No. 2 skirt, christianlouboutin's black-faced and red-soled high heels, wolfford's black stockings, laperla's black underwear... This is a young girl, in her 20s, 165-170 cm tall,

Weighing about 50 kilograms, we wear quite decent clothes, but it is completely different from what Hiroki Kimura thought. Of course, these are all world-class brands, which are in line with the owner's identity, but they are too orthodox, giving people the feeling of being a young and capable Wall Street financier. But the owner shouldn't be such a person. He can buy a mansion in 15 minutes and leave it idle for ten years. Isn't it a idle second-generation ancestor? Shouldn't he wear that hip-hop fashion brand? The waist is low to the hipster, limited edition sneakers, designer brand T-shirts that can't be named, and looks like a maverick. How could a girl with such strict and rigid dress be a lunatic?

There was a bronze key hanging on the door handle, which was the gate key of the Black Stone Mansion, with only two, and the other one was hanging around Hiroki Kimura's waist. The facts were right in front of him, and the master came, although it was ten years late.

"Hiro Kimura, the butler of the Black Stone Residence, welcome you!" Hiro Kimura stood by the door and introduced himself loudly.

"It's great that there are people awake so late. Do you have eggs at home? I want to eat boiled eggs in the hot spring." The girl in the hot spring said with a chuckling.

"I'll take it here, please wait!"

Boiling eggs in hot springs is an entertainment for Japanese people when soaking in hot springs. Eggs with shells are packed in net bags and soaked in hot springs. The eggs are soaked until they sweat all over. It is very interesting to eat with sake.

"Kubota's Mansu sake and fresh eggs were brought together." less than a minute later, Hiroki Kimura came back with a tray. He ran out of breath, but he still spoke calmly.

"If you don't mind, just send it here." You can vaguely see the owner stretching and his body is graceful and slender through the branches of the cherry tree.

The owner had already spoken, but Hiro Kimura was not inconvenient to refuse. Some female stars jumped into the hot spring pool naked in front of him without any concern. Now he is an old man and has taken a lot of light on things. The young girl's body is nothing to him.

He traveled through the cherry trees and finally saw his dream... Although this word felt a bit strange, he really wanted to see the master of the dragon who had no head to see his tail.

The girl sat by the hot spring pool. She actually didn't take the bath, but only soaked her calves in the water and kicked the water slowly. The girl who fell from the sky was very beautiful. The moon-white silk bathrobe was quite close to her body, and her body curves were graceful and slender, but Hiro Kimura dared not easily use the word "sexy" on her, which was a word that was not compatible with her identity. She sat under the cherry tree and looked at the sea, her long hair rose and fell in the night wind, and she was full of majesty.

"My name is Su Enxi, just call me Enxi, I'll call you Mr. Kimura." The girl nodded at Hiro Kimura.

It turns out that enxi is just a pinyin of a Chinese name. Fortunately, Hiroki Kimura used Hebrew, Latin and French to guess in Hebrew, Latin and French over the years.

The master's smile is very gentle, but Hiro Kimura is more cautious. He has served too many powerful people, seen the so-called upper class, and can easily distinguish between bluffing nouveau riche and real nobles. People who have just grasped power are always arrogant and want to show their achievements to the whole world. After becoming more sophisticated, they will become self-righteous and rarely speak, but every word they say is full of majesty; but this is only half-toned. People standing at the top of the pyramid of power will become very gentle and even lazy, because they have been holding authority for too long and have lost their excitement and pride for power. The most extreme faces often have the expression "This world is really boring, when should I die?" But don't offend these people, once they feel offended, you will die.

But how could Su Enxi be so young? At her age, even if she is born in a prominent family, she should still be in the early stage of her career.

"I flew over from Hong Kong to see the tide. Because the itinerary was very fast, I didn't inform you in advance." Su Enxi said.

"We are ready to serve you at any time." Hiroki Kimura bowed slightly, "It is best to watch the tide here in the Black Rock Mansion, but there may not be a big tide tonight. If there is a tide, the Meteorological Bureau will hang a red wind flag."

"The tsunami forward will arrive at Sagami Bay in 5 minutes." Su Enxi looked at the end of the sky and said confidently, "15 minutes ago, the volcanic erupted deep in the Japanese trench, and the sea water surged from the Tuscarola abyss. The tide was on its way to Atami. If you don't believe it, look at the water surface."

Su Enxi no longer kicked the water, but new ripples still appeared on the water surface. A fire was lit in the stone lantern beside the hot spring pool, and the fire was reflected in the water, shattering into millions. Gradually, water droplets jumped from the heart of the pond, one by one, shattering the glazed water surface when it fell. The stone table also began to tremble, and the celadon wine cups on the table slid to the side. Kimura Hiroshi's face changed, which shows that Atami was experiencing a small-scale earthquake. He learned about tsunamis. The formation of tsunamis is usually caused by earthquakes at the bottom of the sea or volcanic eruptions. The shock waves spread along the seabed, and when they reach the edge of the continental shelf, they will form huge waves. However, the shock waves also spread through rock formations, and the speed is faster than the seawater shock waves, so there must be a small-scale earthquake before the tsunami. This is the vibration in the rock formation that has arrived at Atami first.

The alarm sounded suddenly, and searchlights on the breakwater were lit up one after another, and the lamp posts swept across the sea. The police blew whistles and rushed to the beach, guiding tourists on the beach to the heights.

A small vermilion red torii was built on the black reef below the high cliff. A few minutes ago, the torii was completely exposed to the water, and at this moment its lower half had been flooded by sea water. The sea water was rising rapidly, and waves of white waves were shattered on the black reef.

The phone rang, and Hiroki Kimura took a few steps back to answer the phone.

A few minutes later he returned to Su Enxi: "The Coast Guard called. The tsunami hit Kanyinzaki on the Miura Peninsula 3 minutes ago and would arrive in Atami within a few minutes. They said that the tsunami will not affect the Blackstone residence, please rest assured, but the Blackstone residence is the front of the coast. They hope that we should pay attention and notify them as soon as possible if there is an unexpected situation. Miss Enxi, you can watch the tide tonight."

"I think it will be spectacular." Su Enxi said lightly.

The silver-white thin line appeared at the junction of the sky and the sea, and it looked like a thin layer of silver on the sea surface. It was actually a tide that followed the sky, with rolling white waves at the tide.

The bells were heard and the Buddhist temples in the mountains rang a big bell to pray for Rehhai.

As the tide peak approached, Hiroki Kimura began to look down, and then gradually raised his gaze. The sea curled up in front of him, and millions of tons of sea water built a huge wall to push towards him. At this moment, Hiroki Kimura could not hear any sound except his heartbeat.
