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
"I can only say it's cruel...""I guess so." Knowing it's someone else's cigarette, she proudly shoots smoke into the ceiling."People who commit suicide have that kind of face... I learned something I didn't need to know."“You went in to help a total stranger. hey""And... if you say""Joining those who stay""Uh""Well, but if it was really dangerous, would Takenaka-kun have been dispatched?" e……?"Oops, my mouth slipped""Mr. Takenaka" What does it mean to be on the move?“Didn’t you notice?”"What?""Takenaka-kun said that it doesn't matter if you haven't noticed, but is that okay?" Saying this, Ayame exhaled again.“After you left the convenience store, Takenaka-kun couldn’t calm down. I once took the yagura off myself and made you chase after
