26

Shūrei, while distressing on the half a month left, talks with Tan-tan. Tan-tan notes the erhu at the side of the table and asks her to play him a song. Ryūki visits Riō-kun(junior) and tells him about the woman he loves-Shūrei. While worrying to herself in the garden, Shūrei meets a mysterious man. While cooking, Shūrei realises that the salt is gritty. When she goes out, she finds out that the prices of salt has risen. The woman selling the salt tells her that the salt had been mixed with white sand and says that Shūrei has probably noticed it, which Shūrei had indeed. While talking with the woman, Tan-tan notices and approaches her. She tells Tan-tan that she wants to investigate this, even though Tan-tan tells her not to. She and Tan-tan come across Seiga-kun, who takes an interest and offers to help. She goes to meet Rin Sai-Tei and Shūei about the salt incident. Shūei gives her peaches at the end of the visit. The next morning, she goes to meet Ryūki, who is with Riō-kun(junior), and to eat breakfast with him. Riō-kun(junior) initially hides himself behind the bookshelf. But, Ryūki calls for him to eat together with him and Shūrei. Shūrei is surprised. She and Seiga-kun work hard. She meets Hakumei-kun and Seiga-kun excuses himself. Later, while Seiga-kun and Shūrei are investigating, Yōshū-san visits them. He comments that Tan-tan has not been here. He says that the rumor is probably true that Tan-tan's father has died. Shūrei is shocked. (Source: Wikipedia)
