Chapter 93.1

The Night Stillness

"[Pikiiiiin!]"

Without attachment, without thought, in a state of nothingness. Through meditation, I send my consciousness deep into the depths of my heart or far beyond into the vast emptiness. Inside the salt sauna.

But it's a good time, so there are quite a few people inside the salt sauna.

However, I mustn't let the bustling presence of people disturb my concentration, nor should I let the rising heat of the sauna break my focus. When the mind is extinguished, even fire becomes cool, they say. Though the monk who said that supposedly died while meditating in a sauna.

No one likes to start a conversation with someone sitting in the salt sauna with a mountain of salt on their head while meditating. They probably think I'm quite eccentric. But these are mere worldly matters.

As I concentrate, the channel to the spirits of salt once again opens.

"[Pikiiiiin!]"

((()))

I still can't make out what they're saying. But I can feel something like consciousness or emotion directed towards me. That's fine; I just need to face them and let our hearts meld together.

(Zazan Zazan)

"Huh!? (Bam!)"

Wait? Oh, I see. I'm inside the sauna. It feels like I've been drifting across a vast ocean for a long time.

"I see, salt that complements a dish (muttering)"

"Hmm What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Oh, there's a vacant seat over there, Master!"

"(Zzz! Zabazo-zo-zo! Mugu-mugu Crunch! Mogu-mogu)"

"(Zzz! Zururu Mogu-mogu)"

Sitting across from each other at the table, we enjoy a serving of zaru soba (cold soba noodles) and assorted tempura.

When Serai-san eats with me, her manners seem slightly less refined. But when it comes to noodles, it's probably proper to slurp them with enthusiasm. And rather than eating delicately, it's more enjoyable to see someone, even a girl like Serai-san, who eats heartily.

"Seki-san, is something wrong? You seem a bit down today."

It might be considered a form of kindness not to ask, but I was genuinely concerned. So I decided to inquire. In situations like this, I have no idea which approach is the right one.

"Well, um it's just that various things, you know (Crunch, munch)"

Serai-san mumbles as she takes a bite of shrimp tempura and chews.

Hmm, I wonder which one it is. Is this a sign that means "Don't ask any further"? Yeah, it probably is. There have been various issues, like the stalker problem and whatnot. If she was also attacked by the stalker's mother. She must have been through a lot. She probably doesn't want to think about that.

Afterward, Serai-san talked about how delicious the turtle hot pot was and didn't discuss her worries or anything further.
