The doll is lying down against the bottom of the table, so it can be subconsciously ignored when the flashlight shines on it.
But because of this, if it wants to trip people, the probability is very low. After all, it is already under the table. Most people will not get close to it when walking, so how can they trip over it?
And...Nanamin's expression seemed a little strange just now?
Mai Fukawa pursed her lips and pondered without saying a word.
Chihashi Moromai, as a Hokkaido girl, is almost the first relative after she comes to Nogizaka. Maiimai is naturally aware of every move of her friend. It can be said that they lived together in the hotel at the beginning. During the time they were in the same room, Mai Mai had already understood the girl's habits clearly.
She likes to stay in bed, gets angry when getting up, likes to eat pudding in the morning, and when she gets up, it is her right foot that she reaches out to touch her shoes - these living habits have long been remembered one by one by the girl with a delicate mind, even the subtleties in her expression. So does change.
And just now, when Mai Shiraishi glanced at Nana Hashimoto gratefully, the girl suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a trace of schadenfreude on her face.
It shouldn't be an illusion.
The slightly pursed right corner of his mouth, the unnatural turn of his eyes, and the momentary pause in the movements of his hands when he was helping himself up seemed to support this judgment.
But...why is Nanamin gloating at this time?
Also, her flashlight seemed to have deliberately avoided the area where the doll was. Why was this?
Mai Fukawa couldn't understand.
...
The girls move on.
The first floor has been explored, and now it’s the second floor’s turn.
In front of the stairs leading to the second floor, the little idols stopped in unison.
The dark and curved stairs extend upward. Even with a flashlight, you can't see the scene in front of you clearly. It seems that there is a monster hiding somewhere around the corner, and it may rush out at any time to choose someone to eat.
The girls bravely rushed forward. After a series of screams, fears, and a series of positive messages, they were greeted by a half-open room with faint lights on. As far as the light could shine, a very awkward drawer was placed in the corner of the room.
Bai Sha Buckwheat and the four of them looked at each other. There is no doubt that this drawer clearly tells you that there is something inside, just like a box with an exclamation mark suddenly appearing in an RPG game.
But the girls who were about to approach hesitated and stopped.
"That quilt...could someone be hiding in it?"
A certain mayonnaise star put the hood of his clothes on his head, hunched his shoulders and put his hands tightly on Hashimoto Nanami in front of him, and whispered the concerns in everyone's hearts.
"Probably...no? Can anyone be so boring?"
Hashimoto Nana said with some uncertainty.
"The weather is so hot now. Even though it feels better at night, if you stay under the quilt for such a long time, you might get sick, right?" The kind-hearted Mai Mai couldn't help but worry.
"I don't care if he has anyone, I'll try it first and then I'll know——"
Sayuri Matsumura, who was more courageous, gestured with the flashlight in his hand and felt that the distance was not enough, so he had to get up and approach slowly in person, approaching the red flower quilt step by step.
Then the girl came up with a left kick, a right whip kick and a left jab. Of course, the quilt was all blocked out. After the guard was out, it was naturally a test of courage. She would click until she made sure there was no one inside, and then let go. With a tone of voice, he waved to the girls behind him and asked them to come and take a look.
Opening the drawer, there were three CDs placed inside.
"やった!"
"Great! Finally found-"
"It's finally over!"
The girls cheered for joy, but before they were happy for a few seconds, they suddenly thought of an extremely important question. They couldn't help but look at each other for a few times, and gradually fell silent.
"The next step is to find the mole, right?"
Bai Sha Buckwheat, you look at me and I look at you, but you still can't make a conclusion.
"How about... let's not look for the mole? I always feel that if one person is left here, that person would be too pitiful! Whether it's Mai Yan, Sayuri, or Nana Min, I I feel a little unbearable -" Fukawa Mai said weakly, lowering her head and raising her eyebrows to carefully look at the expressions of other girls.
"No! If this is the case, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? I had to work hard at night to have nightmares for several days to get here! If we can't find out the traitor and successfully complete this courage test, I can’t sleep or eat well due to this task!”
When she thought of the hateful smile of the guy in the bus, Shiraishi Mai felt itchy with hatred, especially when she thought of how the other party would laugh at her if she lost, she shuddered even more, and couldn't help but snorted and looked to the side. Girl: "We must find out the mole! Are you right, Nanamin?"
Hashimoto Nana was startled when she heard the words and was silent for a moment: "...Well, you are right."
Sayuri Matsumura unceremoniously exposed his Mai-kun's beautiful words and said to the point: "Mai-kun, it's true that you need to complete the task, but I don't see how much persistence you have... Mai-kun, you It seems that he followed us all the way here, scared and screaming, right? Oh, by the way, he fell down six times and stepped on other people's shoes seven times, one of which was staff-san——"
Mai Shiraishi: "..."
"That was all an accident! I was also careless..."
While Shiraishi Mai defended with a red face, she began to say some difficult words, saying that being timid is timid, but the courage to move forward is still worthy of praise. Whether he accidentally fell down while walking or not, it was all because he had recently formed an alliance with Manatsu and was infected by her, and so on. Suddenly, the air in front of the camera and inside the bus was filled with joy——
"Okay! Let's not talk! Anyway - anyway, I think the mole can't be Nanamin! And Sayuri, you don't look like it, so the mole has been confirmed, it is Mai Mai!"
Seeing that his defense seemed to have no effect, a certain mayonnaise star suddenly became angry, snorted and pointed at Mai Fukawa next to him.
Mai Mai looked confused and pointed at his face in grievance: "Me?"
"That's right! It's you, Mai Mai!"
After confirming the answer, it is obviously much easier to analyze it. After thinking for a while, Shiraishi Mai came up with the suspicion: "You just took the initiative not to find the mole, weren't you giving up on the mission? The so-called intolerance, also It's just an excuse. After all, the mole's words are still victorious after giving up, and it has no impact. So, there should be no problem for me to doubt you based on this paragraph, right? "
"...No."
The honest Mai Mai could only accept the question with a pout and a grimace.
"In that case, I will doubt Nanamin."
Immediately afterwards, Mai Fukawa spoke: "I noticed some details just now. I always feel that Nanamin is different now than usual. Of course, it may be because of the courage test competition, but if I feel the difference, then there is I have no basis for suspicion, so I suspect Nanamin——"
Hashimoto Nana was not in a hurry. She pondered for a moment and then calmly said: "I'm more suspicious of Sayuri, because she was too active along the way. It was obviously a courage test, but she didn't seem to be particularly afraid. She looked so positive along the way, and it always felt like she was deliberately clearing away any doubts about herself, so that others could believe her identity——"
"Hey, I knew this would happen."
Matsumura Sayuri behaved exactly like a certain Hokkaido girl, with a calm demeanor, but then he looked at the girl from the beginning.
"That's right, it's the same as my answer at the beginning. It's you who I suspect, Mai-yang!"
