By recalling what she saw during the day, Hanako quickly found the place where the previous man collected samples.

But at this time, the symbol had disappeared, the water inside the glass was turbid, and a large amount of light yellow dead algae sediment accumulated at the bottom of the pool.

In this regard, Hanako couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She secretly murmured, "Is it the same as in Natsume yesterday, will it disappear soon?"

Hanako, who was talking to herself, was a little unhappy. She searched back and forth in that area several times, and finally confirmed that all the symbols had disappeared.

Nothing is left.

This hit Hanako deeply. It felt like Lara entered the legendary tomb of the emperor, only to find that it was actually just an empty crypt.

"Tsk...forget it, let's go back to sleep..." Hanako, whose ambition was completely extinguished, took off her mask, and her face, which was flushed with boredom, finally got a chance to breathe. She fanned herself with her hands and was about to leave.

But suddenly I smelled a "smellless" smell that can only be emitted by the original ocean.

This description is very strange.

But for Hanako, who has lived in Wangye Ecological Zone for a long time, this "nothing" smell is even more pungent than the smell of blood.

She sniffed hard.

I found that there was indeed no smell at all in Masato's workspace.

This is really weird.

If her nose is broken, then why can she still smell the sweet fragrance of chocolate when the palm of her hand touches it?

"Could it be..." Just when she was confused, Hanako suddenly felt like something was staring at her from behind.

It felt so real, so real that it was creepy.

"I'm going... there are really aliens, right? No! I don't want to die yet!!" Hanako suddenly looked panicked. She looked back quietly, but found that there was nothing behind her.

"Huh...fortunately there is nothing..." Hanako let out a long breath.

She smiled, but then she felt a little wet under her feet.

"Huh?"

When she looked down, she saw that water gushing out of nowhere had covered her shoes, which was how the wet feeling came.

Hanako was dumbfounded. She hurriedly looked behind her, but she only saw a ball of light yellow filth.

Then...

…

One week later.

"Bang bang bang!" Hanako knocked on Natsume's door as usual.

Natsume, who had been doing handicrafts all night last night, rarely slept in, but was still woken up by Hanako.

When he opened the door, he found Hanako and Masato outside the door.

Masato, who had emerged from the gloom, still looked so pitiful, but the smile on her face reappeared, which still made Natsume feel a little relieved.

"Hey! Boss Xia!" Hanako raised her palms high.

Natsume was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand perfunctorily and said, "Oh... Boss Tao..."

"Perfunctory!" Hanako pouted, "Who are you, Boss Tao? Is my surname Tao?"

Natsume rubbed his eyes and said, "I don't know another word, please forgive me." After saying that, Natsume turned around and went into the house.

Hanako immediately caught up and said, "Hey! Is this how you treat a good friend? You can't even call him what he calls you?"

Masato stood outside the door. After hesitating for a few seconds, he softly said, "Excuse me." Then he entered the house.

Natsume's room has always been clean. Only the crafts done last night were still on the table.

There are some sawdust.

Masato was more interested in those sawdust. They did not look like some kind of animals, plants, people, or scenic spots that she was familiar with, but some kind of strange geometric figures.

Natsume was chased to the kitchen by Hanako.

Hanako said reluctantly, "Pronounce that character 'ze', and the second sound is, Hanako Momosawa! Do you remember it? Read it with me again, Hanako Momosawa!"

"Hi, hi, hi! Momozawa Hanako!" Natsume was preparing tea and snacks while dealing with Hanako.

Although Hanako knew that Natsume was still perfunctory, she was finally satisfied with the result.

"Well, that's right, the young man is still very active." As she said this, Hanako boldly patted Natsume's butt.

This time, not only Natsume was stunned, but Hanako herself was also stunned.

"Uh...hehe, mistake, mistake...I'll rub it for you!" He said and wanted to wipe it off again.

Natsume dodged "Come again?!"

Hanako tilted her head and said, "I can't cut it."

Natsume"……"

…

Hanako and Masato came to see Natsume because they had made an appointment to go fishing together today.

This activity is not very attractive to women.

However, there are very few entertainment projects in the ecological zone, so... activities such as fishing, where you can blatantly bask in the sun on the beach, look at handsome guys, and have a drink by the way, have become Hanako and Masato's favorite activities.

When the two best friends arrived at the place, they handed over all the tasks of fishing rods and grilling fish to the tool man Natsume.

The two of them went to the snack street and enjoyed the delicious food.

After watching the two girls leave, Natsume honestly started fishing.

While waiting for the fish to take the bait, Natsume continued his craft. He chipped wood chips while paying attention to the movement of the fishing rod.

During this period, many girls noticed Natsume's beauty and came to strike up a conversation.

In the end, Natsume's tactics drove him away, and now he just wants to enjoy his personal time quietly.

But……

When he hooked his first fish, an accident happened.

Someone accidentally fell into the sea while fighting with fish, and the one closest to him was Natsume.

Originally, he had no intention of acting bravely, but when he noticed the man's appearance, he was stunned for a second and then plunged into the water and swam towards the man who had lost his footing and fell into the water.

Ten minutes later.

People who fell into the water were rescued ashore.

Everyone was applauding and cheering for Natsume's righteous deed, and some even brought fruits and drinks.

But Natsume seemed to be completely stunned, and kept staring blankly at the man who had just been rescued but his face was extremely pale.

Could it be that he got it wrong again?

Natsume hasn't been sleeping well recently...for no other reason...he can never forget the scene when he failed to save Hanako.

Although from a reality point of view, everything is like some kind of illusion and does not really exist.

But did his eyes really "deceive him"?

If it was for some unknown reason that time, what about this time?

What he saw in the water was clearly Hanako... an almost identical pale face calling out to him for help.

However, when they rescued the man ashore, they discovered that the man was a man who was obviously much stronger than Hanako... While Natsume was still in a daze, Hanako and Masato had already rushed back.

After they heard about the situation here, they immediately squeezed into the crowd.

Hanako praised Natsume with a grown-up look and said, "Young man! You're quite capable? We've only been away for ten minutes, and you've already become a hero! Hahaha, your future is really limitless, right?"

This compliment made everyone around laugh.

Masato was a little embarrassed and her face turned red.

As for Natsume, he looked at Hanako blankly, and his focused expression soon made Hanako blush.

You must know that this is the first time Natsume has looked at her so "infatuatedly".

Of course...this is just what Hanako thinks.

"You...why are you looking at me like that...I...I'll be embarrassed..." Hanako resumed her girlish posture, her eyes dodge, and when she was about to escape, Natsume grabbed her wrist.

Then, Natsume actually raised his hand and touched Hanako's face.

If this scene had happened when the two of them were alone, Hanako would probably have fallen.

But with everyone watching, this kind of intimate behavior seems a bit obscene... Although Hanako likes Natsume very much, she is still very sensitive to male touch.

then……

"ah!"

"Snapped!"
