Regarding the issues with Sonozaki Shion and Satoko Hojo, Fang Zheng still had no clues for the time being. As things stood, unless Teppei Hojo returned, he had no way of intervening. And concerning Sonozaki Shion, unless the other party brought it up, Fang Zheng couldn't just come out and say it. He didn't have any better options, so he could only let things take their course for now.
Not to mention, he had another matter to attend to at the moment.
That was the upcoming Cotton Flow Festival.
As Hinamizawa's annual festival, the Cotton Flow Festival was an exceptionally lively event. Each year on this day, people would gather here to enjoy the dance performed by the Shrine Maiden, followed by releasing the torn pieces of cotton into the river during the ritual.
