You're lying..."Come on..." The guy with the white face shows no signs of waking up. That should be it, it was like this all day long. There is no reason to wake up normally. I'm dead, of course... Monsters are different. If you're human, you're dead. Sweat runs down the tip of my nose. Are you really dead? No, Yakumo was saying that, yet―― I was far from calm at this time, I was in a panic. That's why, looking at Yakumo, who doesn't move at all even if you pull or shake him, you can easilythoughtnewThere is no way I can stop it. I was about to struggle, no matter what. Cardiac massage, that is, resuscitation. I vaguely remember the procedure, but this is all I have to do now. I can only cling to it. I used all my strength to slip myself into the charred tree and tried to drag Yakumo out."U, gu! gu, ku, ugh!!"
"No, by mistake""Don't be careless!!" I scream from the bottom of my heart. The evil spirits don't read the air, they stretch out their arms and crawl up to you as if to say it's your turn next."It's dangerous! Let's run away...!""No, run away"“Why!"Don't be in such a hurry, An-chan, who's doing nothing? It's true that the shikigami can't be used anymore, but if it's a trick... I still have some left." He calmed me down, and he smiled with an expression that he still had plenty of time to spare."What are you going to do next time?""What, you can tell just by looking at it" Yakumo wiped the blood off his forehead and started dripping it onto the mark he had drawn on the ground."An-chan, do you know what a guardian spirit is?" What do you say about this big deal?“It’s commo
achieve all objectives. One case closed. As Yakumo said, if he stayed here any longer, the dead would again sniff out signs of the living and flock to him, so he quickly left the place and recovered Yakumo's bike, which he had abandoned on the way. But I was taken by Yakumo, who was able to move forward without hesitation. I could really go back to where I started. The stars were still twinkling in the sky for the first time in a while, but the sun would start to rise in a few hours. After finally being released from the raging darkness and miraculously surviving, I let out a big sigh and lay down on the concrete where cars rarely pass. To be able to step on this concrete again, ah... I'm impressed. I can go home When I thought that, rather than being happy, I felt relieved and my strength went away.“Is An-chan okay?"Okay, now. If it's all over, it's okay..." I'm
Is there anything else?"I want to go home as soon as possible."“Wait a minute, I don’t want to stay too long."Oooh! Is that true!?""Even though I've succeeded in attaining Buddhahood, there are still a lot of evil spirits, so let's get this over with as quickly as possible." While saying that, Yakumo boldly started prying open the wrecked car door with a nail bat. That action made my still restless heart leap.“Oma!"The bodies have already been collected anyway, and no one will be able to collect the scraps in a place like this.""A corpse is...a scrap." You're too generous to do that. It's all the more so if someone dies in it. Ignoring my words, Yakumo started digging around inside the car, and after a while he seemed to have found something, sticking his body out of the car and returning. What was firmly held in his hand was a brown envelope that seemed to have been in a very poorly preserved environment."That's
In fact, Yakumo, who had reached his physical limit, became calm after a while, as if he had lost all of his air. I complained a lot, but in the end I was supported by the young man who was with me, and I finally calmed down."Um, Akane, who is this person?""Just a little bit... I got involved for this time's yabo, my lifesaver. It would have been dangerous if An-chan wasn't there.""Eh! Is that so!? No! Don't let the general public get involved!""... so. Who's to blame? Whose" The young man in the black suit turned to face me and, wondering what he was going to do, grabbed my hands tightly. Strangely enough, the moment he held it, the lethargy that had been weighing heavily on his hands and shoulders was blown away all at once. What happened now...? do not know. But it was a lot of fun. When I was surprised and hardened, he had a friendly face and a gentle smile."I don't know who it is, but it seems that this person has caused a lot o
A few days after the troublesome exorcist, Yakumo's incident. I survived the Sea of Trees without anyone noticing, and after that I returned to my normal life without any problems. Even though I'm once again realizing how grateful I am for peace, I'm still living an extremely unhealthy life with somen noodles, and the summer fatigue is finally starting to take hold these days. I was in good spirits, and I was happy that there was no obstacle in my life. I come home from the night shift, sleep during the day, and then go back to the night shift. The monotonous days pass with the heat. One day, a trivial incident happened at a convenience store. Around midnight--. The number of customers is still constant. There are several people in work clothes and salaried workers in the store. Cup noodles, boxed lunches, and energy drinks are especially popular, and as the night progresses, the ca
"Ah, that--" When I let out a hoarse voice, someone grabbed my shoulder from behind. When I turned around, Mr. Aoyama was there. Tell me with your eyes That's fine--. When."stop……" When I stepped behind Mr. Aoyama, a middle-aged man said in a mosquito-like voice."I knew it... I'm going to stop... I'm going..." Tears fill your eyes and bite your lip. Aoyama-san slowly nodded when he heard the man's body trembling, and gently urged him to take the hand that was trying to put the banknote back in his pocket."I prefer that.""Yes, yes...""That's better." As Mr. Aoyama repeated as if to convince him, the man bent his trembling knees and immediatelythroatchokeI cried. I don't know what happened. I don't even want to ask what happened. nevertheless. Until the man was about to leave, M
"Did you hate hearing this story?""I can't look cool on the boulder. But I won't quit so easily, so don't worry.""I'll do my best, Hakamada-kun, uh, but I don't like that.""But... it's just a little annoying, isn't it? It's like you're showing off."Roughly speaking... But I think that's the last sign for those who are about to commit suicide.""sign……"“Yes. I want someone to talk to me. surely. Maybe so, there are times when people unconsciously try to rely on someone else for help. I don't think you are wrong in this person's opinion."That's why I can't force you, but I'm trying to guide you as much as possible. I don't know if that's for the sake of that person." If someone silently sees him off, it means that no one can see through his will. On the contrary, I think it will be the last push. Aoyama said. Even if he says he's not sure if it's r
"- So, that's all the story I experienced." If you say so with the feeling of folding a picture-story show after reading. Right and left of me, dozens of shaved heads lying down in front of me or sitting on the futons, like, huh. Whoa. Uhi or something. Hawa or something. I let out a sigh at the same time. Phew……. She seemed satisfied at last, and she was relieved. I never thought I would tell this story from beginning to end... I remember that horrifyingly. A strange and unusual story that I experienced in the summer of my 25th year that I will never forget. I've been telling this story over and over again to my lovely students who are members of the baseball club. It all started on the night of the summer training camp, when we were talking about ghost stories. Even though my way of speaking and the content of the story are scary, they are very popular with Chubo who loves such stories. As a result, the annual big event of the summer training camp has become the rule of "Direc
3 The four of them replied to each other separately, and left the cemetery while stumbling, saying that it was too bad they would miss the train. While being carried in a wheelchair and being swayed in various directions. I turned around there. Hinata--. I stare at the grave of the Hyuga family, where the smoke of incense still rises, as it recedes. Hinata is nowhere to be seen. There is incense smoke and a bouquet of flowers... Hinata is no more. The cemetery is still empty, and the fallen leaves are blowing in the wind. Seeing that, a particularly strong tailwind swallowed me who felt a little lonely. I felt like that was encouragement from him. I put the feeling of being pulled back in my heart. I tell myself that from this moment on, I will also set off on a new path."Abayo, Hinata" I slowly turned my face forward and muttered. --Abayo, Senpai--. Yes, I heard it from somewhere. I felt
The trees around the cemetery have turned red and the leaves are slowly falling. Overhead, countless red dragonflies fly here and there, seemingly busy searching for their destined partner. The lingering summer heat has passed, and the season is already dyed in autumn colors. The red dot-patterned blanket on her lap is my sister's personal item. If a man asks his mother how he can use such a woman. I was pushed through with a single point of insistence, just use it and run it. Even though it's not that cold yet, it's too much of an exaggeration to go outside. At the end of the day, she recommended me a woolen hat and a warmer."It doesn't look like this, does it? I'll tell you, it's not mine." The person I talked to was Hinata... not the tombstone of the Hinata family."I came to thank you, I'm late... I'm sorry... I really wanted to come a little earlier, but it's this mess, so it took a lot of time." Two months after that――. There were no problems with the test results, and I wa
"Thank you very much, Mr. Takenaka. It was a short time, but I'm really glad that I was able to work with Mr. and Mrs. Takenaka at that convenience store." I feel like my life has changed drastically. Even in a bad way. In a good way.“I have bad memories, and my body has become inconvenient.” I'm living like this thanks to everyone's help. And I couldn't be more impressed. I just somehow managed to live for 25 years. After 25 years, I finally realized something obvious that I should have noticed. When I realized that, I couldn't stop crying because I didn't know if it was frustrating or happy. Now I can feel from the bottom of my heart that I'm glad I noticed. I was valued by those around me more than I thought. And I, who thought that I just existed, was helpless, a weak creature that could not live without the support of those around me. And now I can feel gratitude for that support. In other words, what I'm trying to say is... everyone, everyone is "not alone", I guess.
Ayame, who was listening to Mr. Takenaka's proposal, did not know that the method would work, and furthermore, he would have to bear a considerable risk to make it work. I arrived at my alma mater before the sun even rose, and sneaked into the old school building. Saying that every minute is a race, he even broke the key soberly. The rooftop of a deserted old school building. Even without summoning him, Hinata appeared there with a frightening atmosphere. Lost what it used to be, now turning into an evil spirit that only tries to drag people to death."Even if it's only for a few years, if you stay in one place for a long time, your soul will be defiled and you'll become something terrible. When you first appeared in front of us, that girl..." Unable to form even his original form, he forgot who he was. He was generating his own spiritual magnetic field on his roof. Aside from the dialogue, if you take one step closer, it will attack you without delay."I told Takenaka to get out
"--Yeah, it's okay, it looks like you've been saved." The analogy applies, surfacing from the dark, cold ocean floor. I felt a faint light on my eyelids, and a certain weight around my lower body. I woke up Really, this time. I lifted my eyelids and stood still for a few moments, wondering again and again. The wind that feels like a swaying curtain, the voice of cicadas, and above all, the sun that I haven't seen in a long time. I was 80% convinced that this was real, but I still couldn't let my guard down. Because.... A man in a suspicious suit, who must have been there before I opened my eyes, is sitting majestically around my lower body, and has been gesticulating and chatting with his mobile phone for a while now. Am I still having a strange dream, or should I say, this place is... More importantly, am I still alive?"So it's okay now, you don't have to come over here Akane--. It's solved. You're trying to call the doctor again, right? I don't know what will happen. Haha.
After that, Hinata fell silent for a while, then lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes apologetically.“It’s not murder or bullying. It's just a little... I just screwed up.』"What does that mean?""Well, it's embarrassing to start talking about it." Even when I tell him not to play around, Hinata only covers it up and doesn't give a clear reason."Like I said earlier, I don't have much time... so could you please save this story for another time, for the sake of my face?" Stick your tongue out from the corner of your mouth and play around. Do you think I'll agree with that?“Besides that, I have to apologize to my seniors. Because I died in such a way... Senpai, after that, I was accused of various things, and I had a hard time... I... I didn't think I'd misunderstand like this... Senpai, I had a lot of pain without my knowledge. sorry" Just when I thought she was joking around, Hinata politely bowed her head while letting her black hair flow forward."Why are you apologizin
at the same time. The woman who had cornered me and was trying to finish her off fell away from me as soon as I met her gaze in the sun, ran into a corner of the back room while letting out a high-pitched scream, and began to cower and shiver violently. rice field. It seemed to be frightened by the real thing that appeared with a squeaky, wordless cry.『That girl is a fake me created by a senior.』"Oh... I"“Yamayama wants to explain, but I also have a time limit.” Saying that, Hinata lifted my body from the floor.“So, in a nutshell…..I have something I really want to tell you about that day.” That day--."... Hinata... that's right... you.... I... I...!" Words can be understood--. With joy and a sense of guilt that transcends it, I grabbed the little Hinata by the shoulders."Whatever you say, it's too late..." I spit it out as if telling myself. Words get stuck in my throat, I'm at a loss as to what to say. I hesitated, but I felt like I had to say it, I had to face it, I h
be killed--. My vision narrows with thoughts colored by fear. People often say that when they die, they get a glimpse of the sum of their lives, such as a revolving lantern, but that kind of thing didn't regenerate in me. Head to toe, mouth, nose, ears. Up to the holes in the whole body. Everything was filled with despair. Consciousness falls into the bottomless abyss. I felt my life run out. Right after that. A mediocre chime that didn't suit the tense atmosphere enough to make me laugh――stopped my consciousness that was about to fade away. Sound of automatic doors. Did someone... come? No footsteps. who……. With tears and lack of oxygenhazeKasumiThe field of vision that was affected. But I did see it. Dive through the door, go through the counter, and approach the back room. Something like a white mist. Drifting in the air, it entered the back room and came over to my side where it was being ridden. Then, as I crouched down next to my face, I stayed still there, and
