Guangyou knew the chances of finding it were slim, but he didn't want to give up.
"In a way, this is quite a challenge."
Guangyou smiled and said with a slight chuckle, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've felt any pressure."
His life has been too comfortable lately, and his nerves have started to relax.
Even a slightly stressful task occasionally helps him maintain his form.
"Hehe, it's not bad to treat it as a game, although this game is a bit boring."
After writing down all the addresses, Guangyou turned off the computer, pushed open the door to the room, and muttered, "The game begins."
Kōyū chose Sakura Embankment, Kaito County, Saitama Prefecture as his first destination.
Even after getting into the car, Guangyou still didn't know why this place was called that.
"Did I choose this place because of the name Saitama Prefecture?"
Guangyou sat by the window, rubbing his chin and turning his head to look out the window. He said, "Otherwise, why would I have chosen this name? Did I guess the location of the doll's burial place right away?"
"If they really are over there, wouldn't that be incredibly lucky?"
On the way to Saitama Prefecture, Kōyū kept fantasizing about being the chosen one, but he also knew that things were not that simple.
The drive was more than an hour long. At first, I could look at the scenery outside the window to pass the time, but after a while, I got a little tired of it.
Without a phone to chat with my silly friends in the group, and without Weibo to check out gossip, it's actually quite hard to pass the time.
Especially since Guangyou didn't bring anything with him when he went out...
No, he also has a cassette tape, the one he sang.
But there was one very important point: he didn't have a device to play the tapes...
"I have to buy an MP3 player no matter what."
Guangyou rested his head on his hand, muttering to himself, "Too bad, it'll be a while before it happens."
He remembered that MP3 players were also introduced in the last year or two in his previous life, but he didn't know exactly when they would appear in this world.
After getting out of the car and walking for a while, he arrived at his destination, Sakura Tsutsumi.
Rapeseed flowers outside the dike, cherry blossoms on the dike, and cherry blossom pavilions inside the dike.
This sentence shows that the main subject here is not only the cherry blossoms, but also the large field of rapeseed flowers outside the embankment.
The bright yellow rapeseed flowers and the pink and white cherry blossoms on the embankment create a harmonious contrast.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the fragrance of rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms, which blended together and smelled quite nice.
"The scenery is nice, but that's not our main purpose."
Guangyou knew that he hadn't come here specifically to see the rapeseed flowers, so he quickly put away his desire to have fun.
There were quite a few people strolling through the cherry blossom grove, so Guangyou's inspection of the tree trunks didn't attract much attention.
"I feel like this place doesn't have it."
Guangyou looked around and found that almost all the cherry blossom trees were healthy; he didn't see many tree holes, or even wormholes. "Damn..."
I spent over an hour wandering around, but didn't really appreciate the scenery. Instead, I was laughed at by a few children who said I had a mysterious attachment to tree trunks.
Guangyou, adhering to the idea of not arguing with children, quietly walked towards another tree.
Standing at the station, while waiting for his train, Guangyou realized that his idea had some shortcomings: the search area was too large, and continuing to search in this way would not only be time-consuming but also a waste of his energy.
Guangyou took out the slip of paper with the address written on it, preparing to eliminate some possibilities first.
"Since it's a temporary event organized by the school, we generally won't choose locations that are too far away. Let's eliminate locations that are more than an hour away from Tokyo."
"Those that are too small can be directly ruled out..."
Guangyou took out a pen from his pocket and circled the locations on the note that did not meet the criteria.
Even so, after eliminating five or six, there were still more than a dozen left.
Upon seeing this result, Guangyou couldn't help but complain, "Damn, how can you possibly see all those cherry blossoms?"
He had to fill the hole he dug himself, and besides, he was already out, so it would be a real shame to go back empty-handed.
"Let's go back to Tokyo and visit Chidorigafuchi first."
As Guangyou watched the train arrive at its destination, he got up and went inside, deciding on his next destination as well.
...
"It is pretty, but I just hate the silly shrine next to it."
Kōyū turned his head and glanced at a shrine not far from Chidorigafuchi, his disgust evident. "Hurry up and finish searching. I don't want to stay in this place for even a second longer."
Chidorigafuchi is one of the moats surrounding the Imperial Palace in Japan. It is named Chidorigafuchi because the surface of the lake resembles a bird about to spread its wings and take flight.
The cherry blossoms here are planted along a 400-meter-long path. It's almost cherry blossom season, and this cherry blossom path is quite beautiful.
There were quite a few young ladies strolling along this path...
While girls wearing JK uniforms may not necessarily be beautiful, the smiles they often wear can definitely make them more attractive.
"Speaking of which, Ai Haibara is wearing a JK uniform..."
Kōyū didn't care what the girls looked like; he only cared about how the clothes would look on Ai. "Looking forward to it...tsk..."
"If Ai wears a high school girl outfit and I bring her here for a boat ride, that sounds pretty good..."
Looking at clothes is one thing, and daydreaming is another; we still have important business to do.
Guangyou's eyes quickly scanned the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road, but he didn't find a single one that looked like a target even when he reached the end of the road.
