Nanahara Takeshi hurried back to "Village of Springs," heading straight for the isolated wooden guest rooms on the west side of the village. He glanced at the rooms from a distance to estimate their positions and choose one to enter.
Kiyomi Liuli, Miss Asai, Okuno, Hidaka, and others followed him, somewhat baffled.
Nanahara was too preoccupied to attend to them at the moment. First, he checked the room's windows, looked up at the ceiling, tapped the walls to check for hollows, and carefully examined the wooden floor, especially near the walls. Eventually, he found a row of small holes that had been sealed with plaster on the wooden wall.
Kiyomi Liuli couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer and asked incredulously, "What are you doing? Didn't you say we were looking for Miss Daiseki? Explain to us first, we can help you look!"
