Ministry Action Records

Is this the professional guy... Looking at the four people playing mahjong in the service club, Eriri felt that she might have been cheated.

"Isn't this Eriri-san? What's up?" Yukinoshita turned her head and glanced at the person who came in, without stopping her hands, "Get rich."

"I also remember you, Eriri, the friend of that weakling from last time." Hikigaya also greeted Eriri.

Because she didn't know what "weak" meant, Eriri lost the opportunity to complain.

"Hello, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya-san." After the last incident with Tomoya Aki, Eriri also remembered their names.

"Well, I have something to do. Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka suggested that I come to you." Eriri felt that she should give them a chance. They just happened to be playing mahjong, which didn't mean anything, right?

"Did Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka suggest you come here?" This must not be an ordinary request, Yukinoshita thought.

"Then let me finish them off and start talking about you, Eriri." Yukinoshita touched the card in her hand, with five circles underneath.

"I've won, let's call it a day." After knocking the five cakes aside, Yukinoshita turned over all her cards and the game ended.

"Wow, I got beaten." Hikigaya didn't win a single round today...

"Shidou, let's play this again when we get back." Tohka grabbed Shidou with both hands and shook him back and forth.

"Sure, Tohka, go back and ask Shiseino and the others to play together." Shidou was very pleased to see that Tohka could enjoy the fun of ordinary people like this. Isn't this what he wanted to see?

"Well, now tell me about your story, Eriri."

Oh, so amazing, I got into the state suddenly. With such a serious expression, Yukinoshita really gave Eriri the feeling that I was a professional.

"Actually, it's like this... I always feel like something's wrong with me lately..." Eriri said hesitantly, twirling the fingers of her two hands around each other, making small movements, and looking a little anxious.

"Something's wrong?"

"Yes, I always dream of very strange scenes when I sleep at night. I fall from a great height, people in strange clothes are fighting, and there are huge snakes in the desert and ruins. The most terrifying one is that insects attack me like a wave. And when I am not sleeping, I often see a white figure at home, but it disappears in the blink of an eye. I think... I may have encountered a ghost..."

"Did you sleep in class?" Hikigaya suddenly asked.

"Well... indeed, it's because I couldn't sleep well at home. I was groggy and had no energy to listen to the class..." Eriri tried hard to explain why she slept in class.

"Do you dream when you sleep in class?" Hikigaya asked another question, trying to verify his speculation.

"Well... it seems that I did sleep very comfortably in class." Eriri always thought that it was normal to sleep comfortably in class if you didn't sleep well at home. She didn't notice that she didn't dream when she slept in class. Now that Hikigaya mentioned it, she realized... it was really enjoyable to sleep in the classroom!

"That unclean thing should be in your house, Eriri."

"In...in my house?! Unclean thing?!" Eriri pulled her hair with both hands and shouted tremblingly.

"Did your family buy anything strange recently?"

"Strange things... Oh yeah... Dad's antiques and some old things from his hometown were just put here recently." Eriri was sure that she had already locked on to the target. Such a pile of old things... mixed with one or two weird things is not strange at all, okay? ! I'll ask my dad to burn them all when I get back! !

"Looks like I have to go to your house, Eriri. Don't think about destroying everything. It might make things worse."

"Can't it be destroyed... I wanted to burn them all..." Eriri showed a very embarrassed expression on her face.

"Don't panic, I've already reminded you in advance, you can put your thoughts aside." The light flashing in the dead fish eyes is the wisdom of seeing through people's hearts.

25. Yinglili? !

"Shidou, Tohka, I didn't expect that you would have club activities right after you arrived. I thought it would take at least several weeks for someone to come and ask for a commission, and it was such a... not-so-routine commission."

Hikigaya, Yukinoshita, Shidou and Tohka, the four members of the Service Club were strolling down the road, following Eriri to her home.

Since the matter had to be resolved at Eriri's house, there was no need to pick an auspicious day or anything. After understanding Eriri's situation, Hikigaya suggested to Eriri that they go to her house now. Eriri also felt that this kind of thing should be resolved as soon as possible, so the group of five set off.

"Is this the club activity of the Service Club..." Shidao felt that he might be a little out of touch with the times. Are all high school clubs like this nowadays?

"It's about helping others, Shidou, it's just that the scope of coverage is a little broad." Hikigaya looked at Shidou kindly, patted him on the shoulder, and reminded Shidou not to be nervous, acting like a big boss.

"Okay, this is my home." Seeing Eriri stop, the four of them also stopped.

"You live in such a luxurious way. Even if I were a ghost, I would come to find you, okay, Eriri." Hikigaya turned his head and looked at Eriri's home, a magnificent British-style mansion.

"I think Shidou's house is bigger." Tohka compared the house in front of her with the house she lived in currently in her mind. Indeed, Shidou's house was obviously bigger.

"Shidou, is your house big?" Hikigaya asked puzzledly. He had been there before and remembered that there was nothing special about it.

"Later, we renovated it a little bit." Shidao scratched his head. Because of the elves, Kotori and the others did expand their home... a bit.

"After a little renovation, you can still use these few words, Shidou." Hikigaya's eyes became so cold that Shidou even wondered if he had become a different person.

"The style of the house is really nice, I like it very much." Yukinoshita also commented.

I'm so sorry that I'm a poor guy and I have to stay with you guys...

Are the bosses discussing the feng shui of their own houses? Should I join in the conversation?... It seems that the bosses prefer me to tremble... After some mental struggle, Eriri mustered up the courage to join in the conversation.

"Um...are you done discussing this...can we go in now?"

"Let's go." Minister Yukinoshita spoke.

"Please... come in." Why did I use honorifics? We are classmates... And what I wanted to say just now was "big brother"! It's "big brother", right?

"Mom and Dad are not here today, so let me greet you. Would you like anything to drink?" Ying Lili asked politely as she led everyone into the house.

"Is there anything to drink?" Hikigaya felt that he was indeed a little thirsty.

Uh... normally you wouldn't say don't bother... you don't follow the routine at all...

"Juice, tea, and of course, water."

"I want to drink juice!" Tohka raised her hand excitedly.

"Then I'll have some juice too." Shidou originally wanted to just ask for a glass of water, but since Tohka said she wanted juice, it would be more convenient for him to ask for some juice too.

"Let me have some tea." Yukinoshita said.

"Um, Eriri, do you have green tea?" Hikigaya thought that if there was no green tea, he would just drink juice.

"..."

“Yes, yes, yes. We have both black tea and green tea…”

Eriri looked a little older in an instant. This group of people were so rude... But apart from Tomoya, it was the first time that a classmate came to her house. Although the reason was a bit strange, she still felt like...she had a few more friends?

"Eri, those things are there. Let me help you take a look."

Eriri, who was about to make tea, turned around and looked at Hikigaya. At this moment, his expression really made people feel that he was trustworthy.

"It's over there. The antiques are on the display cabinet, and the things from my father's hometown are in a big box. It's a very obvious box. You can see them when you open it." Eriri pointed in a direction to Hikigaya.

"Ah."

......

"Did you find anything?" Yukinoshita asked Hikigaya, and they both stood in front of the antique display cabinet.

Hikigaya picked up a vase with a serious look on his face and looked at the bottom of the vase.

"Look at this vase."

"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita did not sense any ominous aura from the vase.

"You can see that the bottom of the vase is engraved with the year Taiping Wuyin, which means it is from the Northern Song Dynasty. And it is blue-and-white porcelain. Of course, it does not mean that there was no blue-and-white porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the color of this vase is too rich. I remember that this kind of blue-and-white multicolored porcelain seemed to be only available in the Ming Dynasty. This may be a fake."

"Hikigaya, we're not here to appraise treasures. Also, put the vase back, and we shouldn't tell Eriri about this." Yukinoshita had a complicated expression on her face at Hikigaya's discovery.

"Yeah." Hikigaya felt that he should also protect the dignity of Eriri's father in front of his daughter.

"Let's get down to business. This book and this gauntlet-like thing are both a bit special. The others are more serious antiques. Oh, by the way, that vase doesn't count." Hikigaya took the two antiques he mentioned in his hands.

"Let's not talk about the vase, okay..." Yukinoshita was full of black lines...

Hikigaya nodded and shrugged, saying nothing more.

"Look at that big box."

"It's indeed very conspicuous." Hikigaya held two antiques between him and opened the heavy wooden box that Eriri mentioned with one hand.

"Let me take a look. Some old clothes, very vintage toys, and yellowed photos in frames. These two should be Eriri's great-grandparents or something like that?" Hikigaya checked the wooden box and didn't find anything special.

"There's some pretty normal stuff in there, Yukinoshita."

"So the problem is with the book and the wrist guard?"

"No, there should be more than just these two." Hikigaya looked around the house.

"The white figure sounds like a vengeful spirit or something. These two antiques are just special, not ominous. At most, they are related to Eriri's dream." Hikigaya explained to Yukinoshita.

"The tea is ready, Hikigaya, Yukinoshita." Eriri shouted to the two of them at the door of the room.

"Let's go out first. The things are not here." Hikigaya said to Yukinoshita.

"Are these the two things? This one is like a gauntlet, and I remember it had a very sharp spot underneath. I got scratched the first time I picked it up..." Speaking of scratches, Eriri became depressed.

"A scratch? It's pretty sad, but I think there's more to it than just those two things."

"Eri, where did you see that white figure?" Hikigaya asked.

"It's right here. I finished painting that day and was about to go out to drink a glass of water when I saw it. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared..."

"Is it in the living room..." Several people from the service department looked around and didn't feel anything strange.

Forget it, let's turn on the psychic vision and see... Hikigaya really doesn't like turning on the psychic vision. In that state, the visual experience can only be described as extremely poor.

It turned out to be stuck here, who can find it... Hikigaya was very helpless, a bunch of identical videotapes were put together, who could tell which one had a problem using ordinary methods...

"Whose tapes are these, Eriri?"

"My father bought it. He got an old VCR from somewhere and collected a lot of these old-fashioned videotape movies. He said he would find time to watch them together as a family. Well...but we haven't watched it together yet. He always buys a lot of things on a whim, and he's always very busy..." At the end, Eriri felt helpless and sad.

"It's a good thing you haven't watched it yet, otherwise it would be very troublesome." Hikigaya pulled out a videotape from the row where it was neatly arranged.

"Where is the VCR, Eriri? Let's take a look at this box together. There should be some surprises." With a kind smile, Hikigaya raised the black videotape in his hand.

"It's okay. The image will be out soon." After fiddling with the video recorder, Ying Lili walked slowly to the sofa and lay down on it.

The current situation is like this, the TV is in the front, there is a rectangular table in the middle, and there is a small sofa on each side of the table. On the left, Eriri is lying on it alone, and on the right, Tohka and Shidou are hugging each other..., there is a big sofa in the back, with Yukinoshita and Hikigaya leaning on the left and right sides of the sofa.

"Eri, your TV is quite big. It looks like two or three people can crawl into it."

"What a weird metaphor that is, Hikigaya..." Eriri, lying on the sofa, tilted her head and looked at Hikigaya with regret.

"Zizi..." After a burst of snow, the contents of the videotape began to appear on the TV.
