This was the extent of her impression of Oniyachuen.
Yushan Kazuto nodded. For someone like Doma, who was not very interested in geology, it would indeed seem strange.
But for geology enthusiasts, seeing the strange and bizarre volcanic rocks in the park is like finding a treasure.
Strictly speaking, Kazuto Hayama was not very enthusiastic about geology, but he still gained a lot in Onioshide Park.
Izumi Sagiri was sitting in the car, but the scene of the demon leaving the garden was still in her mind.
Countless hideous volcanic rocks are like the minions of hell eroding the earth. For a painter, seeing the scenery of Onioshide Garden makes her a little scared, but at the same time, it also brings her endless inspiration.
Many images appeared in her mind, but it seemed as if something was missing and she could not put them together coherently.

We drove all the way back to Karuizawa and it was already 11:30 in the morning.
In fact, the time spent visiting the two attractions is not too long, which is just the usual visiting time for tourists.
However, it took more than an hour to drive along the way, and it took more than ten minutes to eat grilled fish. We set off at 8:30 in the morning, and it was already 11:30 when we came back, which was normal.
Fortunately, this is not a popular tourist attraction, otherwise it would take an hour or two just to queue up for tickets.
"For lunch, how about we go to that art restaurant in Minami-Karuizawa?" As they drove back to Karuizawa, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"Art restaurant?" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly.
"It's a restaurant under an art gallery. Every once in a while, the restaurant's style will be adjusted according to the exhibitions in the gallery." Yushan Heren said.
"Are there any restaurants like this?" Doma Mai couldn't help but blink slightly.
Izumi Sagiri was stunned. She had been to this restaurant before.
She had been to that art restaurant for dinner before when she visited the various museums and galleries in Karuizawa.
However, now, with the changes in the art gallery's exhibitions, the restaurant should also have undergone major changes.
"Xiao, Xiaoxue..." Izumi Sagiri blinked and spoke softly.
"Oh, don't worry, I've already made arrangements for Xiaoxue."
Yushan and Ren scheduled today's cleaning time at 12 noon. At 12 o'clock, the female general will come to clean the house and order a cat meal for Xiaoxue.
Izumi Sagiri blinked slightly and did not continue talking, but Tsuchima Mai could not help but feel curious: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with Xiaoxue?"
"It's nothing. Sagiri is just worried that Xiaoxue will have nothing to eat at noon." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Don't worry, Sagiri, when you go out, Xiaoxue's cat food bowl is full!" said Doma Mai with a smile.
Izumi Sagiri glanced at Doma Mei, it seemed that she didn't know that there was such a thing as cat food in the hotel.
……
We drove all the way to the art restaurant and stood outside the door, feeling a little weird.
In front of the door, an opaque curtain was used to block the sunlight, and the surrounding glass walls were also covered by something.
If it weren't for the sign at the door indicating that the restaurant was open, Yushan and others would have wondered if this art restaurant had closed down.
After all, restaurants that promote art and music often have an incredibly high chance of closing.
"Senior Kazuto, are we really going to eat here?" Doma Mei said angrily.
For some reason, looking at the exterior of the restaurant, Doma Mai felt a sense of fear for no reason.
"Don't be afraid. It's probably because of the art theme that it's decorated like this," Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. She could probably guess this, but looking at the entrance of the restaurant, she was a little afraid to go in!
Izumi Sagiri blinked slightly. Compared with the last time she came, the style of the restaurant had indeed changed significantly.
The last time she came over, the restaurant's theme was "Floral Fragrance", and the entire restaurant was decorated with sunshine, completely unlike the gloomy feeling it has now.
However, looking at the change in the restaurant's theme, Izumi Sagiri breathed a sigh of relief. If even the theme of the art restaurant remained the same as before, Izumi Sagiri would probably have to wonder if she was trapped in a cycle of fate.
"Come in, I think this restaurant has good reviews." Yushan Heren said.
It seems that because the art museum is very wealthy, the prices in its art restaurant are very affordable.
Many reviews say that the ingredients alone are worth the price, not to mention that there are special experience themes every once in a while, making customers' dining experience more ceremonial.
Compared to many art restaurants that simply use the name of "art" to make money, this art restaurant can definitely be regarded as the conscience of art restaurants.
Hearing this, Tsuchiya Mai couldn't help but blink slightly, but finally walked in.
When the door curtains were drawn, the light in the restaurant seemed rather strange, dim and even reddish, creating a sense of romance.
, but not quite, and it gives people a chilling feeling.
Because it was just past half past eleven, there were not many customers in the restaurant. Seeing Yushan and the other two walk in, the restaurant staff came over.
"Three guests, would you like to order a meal?" A staff member wearing plain hakama came over.
The other party's accent was also a bit strange, as if he was deliberately imitating an ancient style, which made Yushan Heren blink slightly.
But since he had already come in, Yushan Heren had no intention of going out again, and nodded: "Well, help me find a quiet place."
"This way please."
The staff walked to the front, and Yushan and the other two followed behind them.
The other party led Yushan and the other two to the window in the corner, and a dim light barely illuminated the pattern on the covering on the window.
It was a Ukiyo-e style painting of a ghost. If Yushan Kazuto was not mistaken, it should be Rinnegan.
Looking at the portrait in front of her, Doma Madoka's body couldn't help but tremble. She was already frightened at the Oniyakushuen just now, but she didn't expect that a restaurant would be even more terrifying than the Oniyakushuen.
"What is the theme of your restaurant now?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink and asked.
Chapter 1964: One Hundred Ghosts Night Parade
"Recently, the Obon Festival is approaching, and the art museum has specially organized the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' art exhibition, and the shop has also chosen this as its theme." The staff member said politely.
Yushan Kazuto nodded. No wonder the overall decoration of the restaurant seemed a bit weird. Since it was themed "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", it was not surprising.
Doma Mai couldn't help but blink. "Didn't the Obon Festival pass last month?"
Last month was the Obon Festival, which was the final sprint before the final exams, but Yushan Kazuto still found time to take Doma Mei to the food street by the riverbank and watch the Obon dance.
"The Obon Festival in Tokyo was in the middle of last month, but in Karuizawa it was in the middle of this month," said Kazuto Hayama.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink slightly, a little confused. It was obviously the same festival, so why were the celebration times different?
This is mainly a residual problem after Japan changed from the lunar calendar to the public calendar. The Obon Festival in the lunar calendar is actually on July 15th, but the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is around August in the Gregorian calendar.
Therefore, some areas followed the traditional lunar calendar and designated August 15 as the Ullambana Festival, which is generally called the Old Ullambana Festival.
Some areas, such as Tokyo, have followed the date of the Obon Festival and directly moved it to around July 15th of the Gregorian calendar, which is generally called the New Obon Festival.
In addition, there are very few areas that still retain the customs of the lunar calendar, such as Okinawa, Kagoshima and other areas. The time of the Obon Festival changes every year.
Kazuto Hayama talked about the differences in the Obon Festivals in various parts of Japan, and Mai Doma couldn't help but blink slightly.
"Then... in Tokyo in mid-July, in Karuizawa in mid-August, and then in Okinawa and Kagoshima in mid-July of the lunar calendar, wouldn't that mean we can celebrate three Obon Festivals in a year?" said Doma Mai.
"Uh...that's true." Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink.
But if we have to celebrate three Obon festivals in a year, we would probably be sick of it, right?
Well-known groups that perform the Obon Dance may encounter this situation. Every year, the three types of regions invite them to perform at the Obon Festival.
"However, Karuizawa is so close to Tokyo, but it doesn't celebrate the new Obon Festival." Doma Mai blinked.
"Even Chiba doesn't celebrate the New Obon Festival!" Hayama Kazuto shrugged.
Although Karuizawa is known as Tokyo's back garden, not everything in it is in sync with Tokyo.
Even Chiba, which is adjacent to Tokyo, celebrates the old Obon Festival, not to mention Karuizawa.
In fact, there are very few places where the new Obon Festival is held, accounting for only 10% of Japan at most. However, the population covered is quite large. After all, there are so many people in the Tokyo area alone.
In addition to the eerie atmosphere of the store's interior, the restaurant's menu has also been improved a lot.
Looking at the descriptions of the dishes on the menu, Doma Mai didn't even want to order anything.
But in the end, despite her rumbling stomach's protest, Tsuchiya Yui still ordered a meal.
Izumi Sagiri also ordered one. After knowing that the restaurant was themed on the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Izumi Sagiri finally felt relieved.
After the three of them placed their orders, the price was just as the reviews said, with a high cost-performance ratio.
The only thing that made Yushan Kazuto feel pity was that the restaurant did not provide Coke, but only some special themed drinks.
Things like Shuten no Din and Tengu Nectar, although they were not expensive, Yushan Kazuto had no appetite at all.
When lunch was served, it tasted unexpectedly good, and Tsuchima couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.
Yushan Heren blinked slightly, feeling somewhat surprised.
Although the food in this restaurant is pretty good, it is only just good. If you want to wow people, it is still a little lacking.
But perhaps because his psychological expectations were relatively low, the restaurant's food actually gave him a sense of surprise.
Of course, it may also be because of the unique seasoning.
The dishes in the restaurant must have used a special spice. Yushan Heren didn't know what this spice was. After all, he was not Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs. He just felt that the taste was a little unique.
After lunch, with the consent of Doma Mai and Izumi Sagiri, the three of them went to the art gallery affiliated with the restaurant.
In fact, Doma Mai didn't want to agree, but Izumi Sagiri had already spoken first, and she had no choice but to object.
After all, even if Doma Mai was against it, with two votes against one for Hayama Kazuto and Izumi Sagiri, the minority still had to obey the majority, so they simply agreed.
The style of the art gallery is much richer than that of the restaurant. There are not only paintings and sculptures, but even CG animations can be seen.
When you walk into the art gallery, you can hear the sounds of ghosts howling from time to time. It is much more terrifying than some haunted houses that are designed in a perfunctory manner.
However, there are quite a lot of people in the art gallery. Perhaps it is because there are many people seeking excitement, or it may be that the art gallery itself has a large flow of people.
Looking at the art museum with the theme of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" in front of her, Izumi Sagiri recalled the scene that appeared in her mind when the demons left the garden.
The picture at that time was a little blurry and not very clear, but now, after absorbing the essence of various arts in the art gallery, Izumi Sagiri feels that the originally blurry picture seems to be gradually becoming clearer.
Seeing a place where tourists gathered, Yushan and others couldn't help but get closer to see
I went to take a look, and didn't expect it to be a place to buy souvenirs.
"There seems to be souvenirs for sale over there. Do you want to buy some souvenirs to take back?"
After returning to the side of Doma Mei and Izumi Sagiri, Hayama Kazuto spoke.
Izumi Sagiri blinked, somewhat tempted, but Doma Mai sighed with some difficulty: "Let's go and take a look first."
As she walked into the souvenir shop, Domama instinctively wanted to take a step back.
I originally thought that even if it was a theme of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the souvenirs should be cute and suitable for taking home or giving as gifts.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I would be greeted by a wall full of ghost masks, looking ferocious and hideous.
Tsuchiya Mai looked at those ghost masks. Those ghost masks seemed to be looking at her, which made Tsuchiya Mai tremble a little.
"These masks seem to have a special coating material on the eyes. No matter which direction you look at the mask from, you will feel like the ghosts on the mask are staring at you." Yushan Heren said from the side.
Of course, this only applies to the front. If you are on the back of the mask and can see the mask looking at you, then you might really have encountered a ghost.
Chapter 1965: Umaru-chan and Yuki
After visiting the One Hundred Demons Night Parade art exhibition, Yui Doma was already a little dazed.
We got up early today, had breakfast, and drove all the way to Shiraito Falls. Doma was still a little dazed!
After seeing the Shiraito Falls, we visited the Onioshi-de-Parade and the One Hundred Demons Night Parade art exhibition. We even had lunch in a restaurant with the One Hundred Demons Night Parade theme.
Doma Mai visited the next two art galleries and museums in a daze. She just took a quick look along the way and didn't see anything clearly.
Izumi Sagiri also felt a little absent-minded, and the previous scene kept repeating in her mind.
In addition, as the afternoon progressed, more and more people came into the art gallery, and it was obvious that Izumi Sagiri was feeling very uncomfortable.
Looking at the appearances of Tsuchima Yui and Izumi Sagiri, Yushan Kazuto no longer had the idea of continuing the tour and could not help but say:
"It's been so long since we came out, why don't we go back?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he got the unanimous agreement of Doma Mai and Izumi Sagiri. Hayama Kazuto could only sigh and led the two of them to drive back to Hoshinoya.
