2024-10-29 19:42:56A 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

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."

Confused about where to look, I look in the back room. Ayame-san is still puffing my Seven Stars. The same goes for cigarettes, but how long are you going to do that? Seriously, can I get my daughter out? I am earnest. That said, if she stared at me all the time, she would stare back at me, so I let out a sigh and returned my gaze to the inside of the store. The quiet store, the neatly arranged display shelves, the shiny floor that was polished several hours ago,brillianthigh schoolFluorescent lights illuminate the area, and an ugly woman clings to the front of the magazine corner. A sight that never changes. Even if there are outrageous and extraordinary things mixed in, for me, who has become accustomed to seeing the scenery from here, this is my daily life. It might be a case of giving up, but the woman who clung to me, the transparent human who sometimes entered, the parts of the human body such as the leg and the severed head,

I've been thinking about it--. I tried to convince myself of that, but how could I buy something like this at such a time when no one would come. And in a place like this. Two ominous letters come to mind. My palms are getting sweaty. A vinyl string and a utility knife. The cutter is, of course, for cutting strings. So what about the string...? A ring of tattered plastic string tied to a tree branch and occasionally swaying in the wind. What I saw when I got into Yakumo and Jukai. A proof that a person died there that you don't have to see in your lifetime. Yakumo didn't even change his complexion, but it was the most shocking thing for me. this person……. Why is this...

"why……""I'm, I'm alive, I'm worthless, I'm social garbage!""……That kind of thing""It's been a year since I joined the company, but I keep failing! I'm getting scolded every day! I've been told many times that there's no point in having you! I'm laughed at, and even a silly guy who can't work is bullied by my peers! I'm useless and nobody needs me... I'm nothing more than garbage! There's no point in being alive!!" I break down in tears as I speak. It seems that she was so frustrated that her job wasn't going well, that she was under pressure from above and below, and that she didn't want to live with such a miserable feeling, so she tried to commit suicide."What are you saying, you're trash in society..." I broke my knees in front of the crying woman."If you say it's trash... then mine is trash.""Eh..."

It's pathetic that I'm dragging myself down. I know that I can't handle this situation alone. I still don't want to pull it. I feel like an idiot."Please don't die... if you die, you can't..." I just frantically repeated it. I couldn't find any other words for it. There's no way I can wrap up her feelings in this state. It's not like I'm dexterous enough to make other people's girlfriends feel at ease. Just because. I can't go home easily. I can't leave this person alone. ……Excuse me.

"- 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...

"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.

"--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

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.

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.
