The Case of Norin’s Mixed- Up Journey

Noriko 🍒📚 @Bibliophile_n76

@Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe じゃあ行ってみましょうかｗ Once upon a time, in the peaceful Twitter world, there lived a girl by the name of Norin who has always been teased by her friends for her a bit too strong a passion toward English language and reading as well as her "there's no half-measure" nature.

@Norin_76 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ #2 There are many admirers of her study method in the world, and she is often asked to reveal the secrets of her success; moreover to write a book about it. Although Norin was hesitant at the beginning, she has discreetly decided to write about it! 次@Akko1454ちゃん

@Zurappe @Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ #3 Norin thought it would be a good idea to seclude herself somewhere to focus on writng a book. She went into the woods and found a shabby hut. A bit dirty, but I don't care, Norin thought. When she was about to write, she heard someone behind the door! 次 @mimimi_run さん？

@Akko1454 @Zurappe @Norin_76 @mimimi_run #4 Norin grabbed a rusty shovel as a weapon and peeked outside from a cracked window. There was no one out there. But she felt something or someone is creeping up from behind her. She gripped the shovel tightly and swung it!! 次Norinさんー🙋‍♀️

@mimi_summer_ @Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimimi_run #5 With a crashing, ear-splitting sound that sends bone-breaking sensations to her hands, Norin heard a loud scream and a thud that signal a possible assailant collapsed on the floor. Still hearing the racing heartbeats ramming against her chest, Norin slowly opened her eyes...

@Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ @Akko1454 @Zurappe @mimimi_run #6 ...to find the body of an old woman wearing a ragged cape with a cane in one hand and, what is this? An apple in the other hand❗️🍎 Norin was confused and wondered who this woman was. But then, the apple looked so appealing, she couldn’t help taking it from her hand and...

@karimama12 @Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ @Akko1454 @mimimi_run #7 …about to open her mouth to sink her teeth in, Norin stopped for a moment. Wait a minute! Isn’t this like that fairy tale? Norin hesitated. Norin poked the old lady’s body with her foot to turn the body to see if she knows of her. Who is this? What have I done?

@Zurappe @karimama12 @Norin_76 @Akko1454 @mimimi_run When Norin saw the old lady’s face, she couldn’t recognize her but a ring on her gnarled ring finger was so familiar. Norin rummaged through her bag and yanked an old diary. She flipped thorough it and a black and white picture fell on the dusty ground.

@mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @karimama12 @Norin_76 @mimimi_run #9 Norin picked it up. It was a picture of her grandmother. She was sitting on a couch, smiling at someone through the finder. Norin looked at the old lady on the floor again. She was...her grandmother. Couldn't be possible, because she was dead long before Noirn was born!

@Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @Norin_76 @mimimi_run #10 Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, OH MY GOD!! Norin just couldn’t think straight, pacing around the room when she noticed something strange about “the Grandma.” Grandma in the picture has a red birthmark on the back of her left hand, but the woman lying there...

Noriko 🍒📚 @Bibliophile_n76

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @mimimi_run #11 had no birthmark. Which means this woman couldn't possibly be her Grandma. Then who is this? Just as she knelt down to examine her face, the supposed "Grandma" stirred and slowly opened her eyes with a groan. Norin swallowed hard and wrung out the question, "Who are you?"

@Norin_76 @karimama12 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #12 It appears that the old lady is still dazed and could not come to senses. Norin noticed a gash on the side of her head which she incurred from the Norin’s powerful blow. Norin did not know who she was and why she was there, but felt a guilt toward this old willowy woman and

@Zurappe @karimama12 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #13 Norin looked around to see if there's a first-aid kit lying around somewhere. As soon as she spotted one, she stood up and retrieved it and sat back down to tend to the women's wound. "I'm so sorry about that." Said Norin. "I thought you were a burglar and I was so scared."

@Norin_76 @Zurappe @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #14 To show her apology, Norin offered her the apple, which was originally in the possession of the old woman, but she didn’t seem to notice and thank Norin for it and took a bite. Suddenly the woman started to choke, struggling for air, and then...

@karimama12 @Norin_76 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #15 died. The apple was poisoned? Norin wondered. Did she intend to murder someone with this apple, or buy it from someone? If she had an intention to murder someone, it must be me. But why? Norin didn't know anyone who had a grudge against her but...oh, because of her secret?

Noriko 🍒📚 @Bibliophile_n76

@Akko1454 @karimama12 @Zurappe @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #16 On top of that, this woman looked exactly like her grandmother. It was unfathomable other than to think she could have possibly been her Grandma's twin sister, which was totally unheard of. Who was this women and what was her intention?? Was she sent by someone else?

Satomi Ｋ @Zurappe

@Norin_76 @Akko1454 @karimama12 @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #17 Also why she knew Norin was here at this shabby hut; she had not known that she was coming here until she found this place in the woods. She must have followed Norin. I have not even started to write the book, Norin thought.

@Zurappe @Norin_76 @Akko1454 @karimama12 @mimimi_run #18 Norin lost in her thoughts for a while,thinking about the old lady and her grandma. All of a sudden, her childhood memory came up to her brain. The image was so blur, but there was a woman looked like her grandma and had the same ring as grandma’s. When and where was it!?!?

Noriko 🍒📚 @Bibliophile_n76

@mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @Akko1454 @karimama12 @mimimi_run #19 Then, Norin remembered about the diary and started flipping though the pages frantically. There could be some clues to the identity of the old woman and why she followed her to this hut! I need to get down to the bottom of this, or I could be in mortal danger, she thought.

🍩🍩Akko🍩🍩 @Akko1454

@Norin_76 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @karimama12 @mimimi_run #20 The old woman could be her grandma's twin sister, but Norin had never heard of it. She just impersonated her grandma, she thought. Anyway, this person must have known her family, but didn't know her grandma was long dead. Holding the diary, Norin remembered her grandpa was...

@Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @karimama12 @mimimi_run #21 from a family with great wealth and such a philanderer, always tagging along a bevvy of beautiful women. "This woman could have been one of those green-eyed monsters who sought to avenge for being dumped by my Grandpa. Far-fetched as it might sound, but it could be a lead."

kobu @dustjacketdiva

@Norin_76 @Akko1454 @mimi_summer_ @Zurappe @karimama12 @mimimi_run #22 She stared at the dead woman. “But why does she have my granny’s ring? Why was she following me?“ Not knowing what to do, she turned a few more pages with her trembling hand, and there, in between the pages, was a small piece of yellowed paper neatly folded in two.
