Handing over Miharu

"Found it."

Naoki took out a paper ball, looked up, and found that the three girls were all looking at him with strange eyes.

"...What do you see?"

"To be able to put him finger in such a place without changing him expression…" Miharu covered her chest and hesitated, "I find Asakawa a little scary."

"That's right." Sekijou nodded in agreement and whispered, "Too quiet."

Naoki narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but say:

"Didn't you scream like Miharu-san?"

"I-I didn't scream."

Miharu replied with guilt.

It's just a scary and dark stuffed bunny. Naoki is really not afraid, when he and the quintuplets did Survival in a dream, he didn't know how many zombies and ghosts had been cut, and the nervous expression of the scream was completely impossible.

"Sensei." Naoki handed the note to Mafuyu, "Here it is."

"Um."

Mafuyu reached out to take the note, unfolded it, and there were four English letters on it.

News.

"Is that the password?"

Miharu said curiously.

"Shouldn't be." Sekijou held his chin in his right hand and turned on detective mode, "The password is four digits, and this note has four letters, definitely not a match."

"News…" Mafuyu pursed her lips and thought, "News? Uncountable nouns?"

"Could it be an idol group under Johnny's Office?" Miharu said. "My friend really likes the idol group, and even goes to concerts to watch the show, doesn't Onee-sama like it?"

"Never heard of that."

"So Onee-sama is too out of date!"

"That…" Sekijou mused, "I don't think it should be an English word, could it be four-way?"

"Sounds like the truth."

That's the fun of Escape Room.

The reason why all kinds of detective novels survive is mainly because humans are the kind of creatures who like to deduce mysteries.

Three people chat, you tell each other, conclude the four directions represented by NEWS, and then quickly find a new problem.

"Just knowing the direction seems pointless." Miharu frowned, "No, we wore blinders when we entered, and now we can't even tell the difference between east, west, north and west?"

Sekijou was also a little troubled, and suddenly saw Naoki standing by the wall without speaking, and she said curiously:

"Asakawa, what did you find?"

Naoki said something "Don't you think there are too many clocks on the wall?"

"Eh?"

The three of them raised their heads together and looked at the wall.

There are four clocks hanging on the walls at different heights, which are ancient dial clocks.

"It's strange to hang four hours in one room." Miharu mumbled to herself "So many hours, will it confuse the time?"

"And not one of the four clocks is missing, can they all be broken?"

"Shouldn't be." Mafuyu shook his head gently. "It's just that one part is broken. The probability of four hours breaking at the same time is too low."

"Oh, I see!"

"It is time!" Sekijou said excitedly, "News not only represents the direction, but also the time on the clock. The proof is that there are only hour hands, no minute hands and no seconds hands."

"Three o'clock, six o'clock, twelve o'clock . . . and nine o'clock."

Sekijou walked to the untimely clock and looked closely, there was no protective glass on the clock, and his fingers could touch the hands directly.

"Click click."

As fingers fiddled with the clock hands, a sharp mechanical sound suddenly resounded in the room. When the hands pointed to nine o'clock, the mechanism was triggered, and the woodpecker above the clock opened its mouth, and there was a lock inside.

Sekijou took out his key, turned to look at Naoki, curiously, "Have you come to play before?"

Naoki shook his head: "First time here."

"Then how do you know the key is on the clock?"

"I don't know." Naoki shrugged, "I just thought the clock was a little weird. You solved the riddle, so what does that have to do with me."

"What…" Sekijou fell silent and couldn't help but whisper, "Pretend to be stupid."

Miharu approached curiously: "You two have a good relationship?"

"Not good at all." Sekijou hastily took a half step back and distanced herself from Asagawa, "Let's keep looking for clues."

After a while.

Mafuyu finds a locked notebook from the bookshelf, unlocks it with the key found on the clock, manages to obtain a four-digit password, and opens the door.

"Onee-sama, we have passed through the room."

Miharu cheered happily, even though she was a little stupid, her smile was unbelievably sweet and beautiful.

"Um."

Mafuyu replied softly, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Working together to solve puzzles can't help but make people happy.

Too bad that smile only appeared a few seconds after noticing Naoki's gaze, Mafuyu's face froze, and the smile on her face instantly broke out.

"Let's go." Sekijou with a bright smile on his face, "There is a secret room in the back."

On the contrary, Naoki was the most indifferent, following behind the three and slowly walking to the next secret room.

With a cracked experience base now, everyone need not say, quickly dispersed, looking for riddles and clues in the dim room.

"It's a box..."

Miharu wasn't shy, but she was very curious. She found an inconspicuous black box in the corner. Naturally, she opened it out of curiosity, and then a red and white scary clown suddenly appeared from there.

"Aaaah-"

A scream rang out suddenly, piercing the dimly lit room with full force.

Naoki just stood beside him, Miharu trembled in fear, flew straight into Naoki's arms, hugged Naoki tightly, her face was pale, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"There are ghosts!"

Naoki said speechlessly:

"Miharu-san, let me go first."

"Don't let it."

Miharu shook her head vigorously, like an octopus, tightly wrapped around Naoki.

"It's not a ghost." Naoki had a disdainful sigh on his face, "It's just an ordinary fear box."

"Eh?"

Miharu turned her head nervously, only to see the spring under the clown shaking, looking really cute.

"This is just a normal Escape Room." Naoki could only complain, "Miharu-san, don't make a fuss."

"I'm sorry…" Miharu's face quickly turned red, and hurriedly got off Naoki, staring at her toes, a little sad, "Suddenly this kind of thing popped out of the box, everyone would be scared, right?"

"There are too many shop owners, deliberately scaring people."

Crap, if the Escape Room doesn't create a thrilling and exciting atmosphere, it's better to have afternoon tea!

"What is the relationship between Asakawa and this girl…?"

Sekijou was suddenly a little angry.

Asakawa was too much.

Obviously with Ogata Rizu, and cuddling with other girls, Naoki should be soaked in a pigsty!
