Chapter 3 The house where the wind chimes rang, the beginning of the bond, the long-distance traveler
All this starts from the nearest thing.
Due to work changes, An’s father was sent to Neon Tokyo, while An’s mother was an archaeologist and was often away from home. So he, who should have been in high school in China, followed him to Tokyo and transfer to Takezuo High School in Chiyoda.
When Andoyuan first came here, he found that Chiyoda District was too far from renting a place, so he simply decided to find a small apartment nearby, and he was also working on this aspect, so he could only find a house with a suitable price.
A few days ago, Andaoyuan began to look for convenient rental houses around him according to the rental information he was looking for online.
"Hydney, this name is special." This is the house where Andaoyuan just discovered that the location is nearby, but for some reason, there is no message below this rental news.
He had a few conversations with the owner, Miss Hyacinth, on the Internet, and finally got the location of the house and her affirmation.
("Andauyuan, if you want, please help me take care of the house called Hyacinth."
-------Miss Hyacinth)
This is a message sent by Miss Hyacinth.
"By the way, do you want to see the unique scenery outside this world?"
Until now, when he saw Miss Hyacinth still saying this, he didn't know why he had a little more expectation for Hyacinth.
I understand Andaoyuan in Japanese, so there is no need to worry about making mistakes in finding the wrong way because I can’t understand the signposts.
He walked a long way along a Chiyoda Eiyama trail and suddenly felt a house in front of him appearing in front of him. It was a very beautiful antique building, with fine gems covered with scattering countless tiny lights under the light.
Is there such a beautiful house here? But when I saw the wooden doors in the front room full of exquisite wind chimes, Andaoyuan knew that he had found the house mentioned by Miss Hyacinth.
There were three words "Hydney" written in an ink pen hanging on the gate, and the handwriting was as lively as the handwriting in the letter Ms. Hyacinth sent him.
He knocked on the door: "Is there anyone in the room?"
No one answered, and he knocked twice.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, I heard a voice coming from the door: "Push open the door yourself, the door is not locked."
The sound sounded very scattered and couldn't be heard very well. And Daoyuan followed the guest to push the door and entered.
Dingling, the wind chime is blown by the breeze,
This house has a characteristic, that is, beautiful flowers grow everywhere, the lawn in the yard is full of flowers, and there are many spider plants on the shelves.
Andaoyuan thought he could see Miss Hyacinth, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw a kitten in the yard lying lazily with his belly rolling upwards.
Before the kitten could ask a question, he said first: "Are you the one whom Hyacinth said she was coming to take over Hyacinth?"
This was the first time he saw a talking cat, so he would naturally be a little surprised, but Miss Hyacinth also said that there was no need to be too surprised. He did not over-express everything he saw, but smiled gently. After all, Andaoyuan had already experienced these things outside the real world many times.
"If Miss Hyacinth had told you, that would be right, my name is Andaoyuan."
The kitten rolled on the grass in the yard: "I want to tell you what you need to do in Hyacinth Curie, but I can't move anymore. The nap time is so nostalgic for the cat."
He did not come here empty-handed, but brought some gifts to him, which were fresh crepes he bought from the store where he got off at Maeda Station.
"I brought the crepes I just baked. If I don't eat them now, even if you wait for your little cat to wake up, the crepes will not be crisp enough." He used the crepes in his hand to seduce the kitten.
"I'm not called a kitten, I'm a big monster. My name is Xue. Since there are crepes, I won't take a nap. Give it to me quickly. Where are the crepes?"
Xue jumped to Andaoyuan and rubbed his handbag.
Andaoyuan opened the crepe box in a handbag and placed it on the stone table in the yard. The kitten Xue jumped onto the table and opened the box. Meow Meow started eating on his own.
While eating, it told Andauyuan about some things about Hyacinth: "I have made some agreements with Hyacinth, so I am now acting as an assistant. If you are willing to accept this room, I will hand over what she left to you."
Andaoyuan listened to the crisp sound of the breeze blowing through the wind chime at the door, looked at the kitten eating crepes in front of him, and asked softly: "Can you tell me about Hyacinth?"
“Whenever the wind chime sounds, the people or monsters who come to seek help will get the answers they need.
This is a fact that is known to a small number of people in Tokyo, and for most people, it is just an urban legend.
This is also what is really happening in Hyacinth. Hyacinth accepts commissions and receives rewards.”
The kitten's voice is very pleasant and sounds soft.
Modern young people will inevitably fall into this situation, just like if the oil is poured on the noodles without hot sesame oil, and the wife’s cake is not given to her. It is okay to accept it, but life should not be so dull.
Andaoyuan knew that when he heard these things, he would not be able to refuse.
He once again recalled the last message Miss Hyacinth gave him: "Do you want to see the unique scenery outside this world?"
"I want to go and see it, so I rented this house."
"That's great. I'll get you what she left behind by Hyacinth."
Xue jumped on the flower stand and looked for it, then rolled up a beautiful hand account with her tail and handed it to Andaoyuan: "According to what Hyacinth said, you helped a monster, or solved a thing, and then you could record the story about it, make a connection and get the art of this word. Of course, if you helped the monsters, they would also give you corresponding rewards, and this part is independent."
Andaoyuan took over the account, and he saw that the account was still blank now, and knew that this was a brand new monster account belonging to him.
He nodded: "Equivalent exchange, reasonable transaction."
He signed his name on the title page of his account, and an inexplicable natural wind surrounded him, which was the spiritual power's sense of identity with him. Andaoyuan had never felt this transcendental feeling before.
"Okay, this house belongs to you now. After all, Hyacinth said that you will take over Hyacinth House. Although she said that, hitting this house is her most precious memory, and you must keep it well."
"That's for sure. Since I promised Miss Hyacinth, it's natural that I can't do something out of place here."
He looked at the decoration in the house. The first floor was filled with very beautiful collections. Xue told him that those were Miss Hyacinth's collections. If you need it, you will tell Andoyuan. After all, it is also an assistant now.
The second, third and fourth floors are empty and there is nothing. Miss Hyacinth's house is clean, with only one bed and a bookshelves. There are many books in the bookshelf that he has never seen before. They should be related to monsters or spiritual techniques, and there are many envelopes on a row of bookshelfs.
Andaoyuan was so familiar with those envelopes. After all, they were letters sent through his hands. It turned out that Miss Hyacinth was his only pen pal in the past decade. No wonder all this happened so coincidental.
It seems that Miss Hyacinth said in her previous letter that she was going to a distance, and she really couldn't reply in time.
