Celebration Armor and Spell Armor

The hotel occupies a very large area.

and so.

Under such circumstances.

The group had no choice but to split up and act separately.

Officer Jenny and Joey are in one group, Haruka and Taro are in another group, and Natsume is in a group with Wanlong.

of course.

The main reason was that Xia Mu and Wan Long were busy fighting, so after discovering that everyone else had already formed teams, they could only reluctantly team up with each other.

after all.

"For safety reasons, you are absolutely not allowed to go out alone!"

Officer Jenny's gaze was sharp as she looked at Xia Mu and Wanlong.

and so.

Although I was somewhat unwilling.

But the two of them still reluctantly agreed.

"oh!"

"OK!"

......

Although the two chose to explore together despite Officer Jenny's watchful gaze.

But Wanlong still harbored resentment towards Xia Mu for kicking his little bottom so hard just now.

They had a very bad attitude towards Xia Mu.

"Stay away from me, you idiot who has no sense of chivalry whatsoever!"

honestly.

This level of attack power almost made Xia Mu think that Wanlong was being coquettish.

and so.

Facing a dragon whose nose is not a nose, whose eyes are not eyes.

Xia Mu not only didn't feel angry, but even felt a little amused.

The dragon, realizing this, became even angrier.

hateful.

I insulted you, and you can still laugh?!

After glaring fiercely at Xia Mu, Wanlong made up his mind.

You absolutely have to write about this guy in the book, and then bully him in all sorts of ways!

Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Wanlong frantically chirped "Xia Mu" in his mind.

Meanwhile, various plot points for the new novel flooded his mind.

"Hehehe!"

With a smile as sinister as Gengar's, Wanlong pulled a small notebook from its yukata.

I started writing and drawing.

They simply don't care that the victim is right in front of them.

And this moment.

Curious, Xia Mu peeked out and saw various villainous characters and their unfortunate encounters listed in a notebook, all named Xia Xiaomu.

He was speechless.

"...You don't shy away from people at all!"

"There's no one there! I didn't see anyone!"

Wanlong raised his head, looked around, and then continued to write and draw.

After seeing the performance of the winding dragon.

Xia Mu remained silent for a long time.

"..."

good boy.

It hasn't been that long, and you've already learned to be sarcastic and sarcastic?!

"I wonder who he learned it from!"

After making a comment, Xia Mu stopped paying attention to the winding dragon, who was engrossed in the novel.

Instead, they began to observe their surroundings.

Before arriving at the hotel, Xia Mu had a long conversation with the landlady.

On one hand, they wanted to understand the situation at the hotel, and on the other hand, they wanted to find out the reason for the nightmares.

Xia Mu's years of experience writing detective novels told him...

Every contact leaves a trace.

When two objects come into contact, a transfer occurs, taking some things with them and leaving some behind.

and so.

The fundamental problem with sudden nightmares is...

A Pokémon or object that causes nightmares appears in the inn.

and.

Considering that no trace of Pokémon has been found so far, Natsuki speculates that the thing causing the nightmare is most likely a certain object.

Either the customers brought them in, or the proprietress, who loves shopping, bought them.

but.

Others seemed to have thought of these things as well.

When Xia Mu asked, the proprietress skillfully told him the location of the items that had been moved into the hotel during this period.

And he explained.

After experiencing nightmares in the hotel, she moved all the items she had purchased during that time out of the hotel.

After discovering that the problem still hadn't been resolved.

They then moved it back to the hotel's storage room.

At the moment, there are no other clues.

Xia Mu made a decision.

"Let's go to the storage room!"

With a wave of his hand, Xia Mu instructed Xin Ye Miao to lead the way.

"Meow~"

Compared to Wyvern, the Dark-type Palico seems more reliable in the future.

......

A short while later.

Xia Mu then led Xin Ye Miao and Wan Long to the storage room.

open the door.

What comes into view is a huge pile of all sorts of miscellaneous items.

Unsharpened swords, paintings, calligraphy, armor, sculptures, vases...

These were all items the proprietress bought on a whim to decorate the hotel.

At this time.

The dragon, who had temporarily stopped writing, finally raised its head.

then.

"Wow, this is in the style of the Padmaya region, this is in the style of the Unova region... These are all antiques!"

Although Wanlong could not distinguish between the real and fake of these things.

But after all, she is best friends with Cynthia, who is an archaeologist.

In addition, I had previously considered writing an archaeological novel and had learned a lot about ancient times.

therefore.

Through exposure, I've come to know some things about antiques.

and so.

Even just by casually looking around, Wanlong recognized many antiques from other regions.

And after hearing the dragon's exclamation.

Xia Mu's eyes lit up.

Years of experience watching horror movies told Xia Mu...

The problem must lie there.

Antiques, nightmares...

These two elements are added together.

Xia Mu immediately recalled countless supernatural stories that occurred after people carelessly picked up puppets, dolls, and other items and brought them home.

"Take a look quickly, see if there's anything in here that carries evil energy or a curse?"

As a novelist, Wanlong obviously thought of these things as well.

He immediately took back the notebook and pen.

"let me see......"

No spicy food, Jay!

Although I really want to use memes.

But look at the dragon as it earnestly searches for items, trying to solve these problems.

Xia Mu swallowed back his inappropriate remarks.

They then helped Wanlong search through the clutter.

After a while.

Wanlong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Wait, where did this proprietress get so much stuff?"

Xia Mutou, who was holding a half-body suit of armor, didn't lift it.

"I remember saying he bought it while browsing the market..."

According to the proprietress.

She never cares whether the things she buys are real or fake.

They only care about whether it looks good or not.

and.

Because Fanba is a port city.

and so.

In the Fanba Market.

All sorts of items from various regions are everywhere.

In addition, the distance between Fanba City and Wilderness Resort is not far.

therefore.

In the Fanba Market, all sorts of genuine and fake antiques are mixed together.

then.

Every time the proprietress goes to the market, she brings back some beautiful calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and the like.

Over time, this will accumulate.

These things just kept accumulating.

Some were placed in the corners of the hotel or used as decorations in various rooms.

And some.

They can only be placed in the storage room.

At this time.

Wanlong finally looked through everything.

then.

"Wait a minute, why is only this one somewhat special..."

Wanlong looked at the golden half-body armor placed next to Xia Mu.

"Most things here are fake, except for this armor, which seems to possess special powers!"

Wanlong stroked his chin.

"But, the feeling this armor gives off..."

"It gives people a feeling of blessing!"

"How did you know?!"

Under the astonished gaze of Wanlong, Xia Mu stared speechlessly at the half-body armor.

How do I know?

Do you know how long I spent searching for the Celebration Armor in order to evolve Charcoal Servant when I was playing the game?

but.

Is the Celebration Armor the cause of the nightmare?

Xia Mu felt that this was unreasonable.

Compared to the Armor of Celebration.

The cursed emotion contained within it, which allows Tanjiro to evolve into a fire-type or ghost-type Azure Flame Blade Demon, seems more reasonable.

"Looks like we'll have to keep looking..."
