Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

I look better in the clothes above.

"Jinta, Menma is amazing! They are all friends Menma met when she was in Chiba. They are really incredible." Before Tsuchimikado Fuyu could answer, Poppo said excitedly.

Then, Bobo took the initiative to introduce Fujiwara Chika and others to everyone.

As they chatted, they made the final preparations for the setup. Before Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others arrived, Yadomi Jinta and the others had already tied up all the fireworks. All that was left was to set up the tied fireworks on the launch tower.

Everyone had arrived, so the boys picked up the fireworks carriers and headed towards the launch tower, while the girls chatted with Menma.

After all, the fireworks were about to start, which meant that Menma was about to ascend to heaven, so everyone naturally had so much to say to Menma.

Especially Menma's mother, who looked at Menma tenderly and would give Menma repeated instructions whenever she had the chance.

Tell her to make more friends in heaven, and to eat well and take good care of herself since she can't take care of herself.

It's as if Menma isn't ascending to heaven, but simply going on a long trip.

Although Menma's mother didn't believe it, for Menma, it really was just like going on a long trip, only this trip might be one she would never return from.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't come back, because even without me, everyone can live happily, and one day, we can meet again in heaven.

I was just scouting ahead for everyone.

Menma has always firmly believed this.

Because Fuyu-kun would never lie to me, we will all meet again in heaven.

Chapter 531 Fireworks

As the sun set, gradually disappearing behind the mountainside, the sky was ablaze with rosy clouds, creating a truly beautiful scene. (141biz)

However, just as the sunset in ancient poems is often used to describe sadness, people who look at the sunset often feel a sense of "the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is nearing dusk."

“Alright, all that’s left is to launch,” said Matsuyuki Atsushi, looking at the launch tower in front of him.

"Hmm, that's really well done," said the uncle who helped everyone make the fireworks, with a look of admiration.

He didn't know why these kids were so obsessed with the fireworks, even to the point of working several jobs a day for them.

But he knew that this firework might be the most fulfilling one he had ever made in his life, not because it was so well made, but because it carried the sweat and effort of these children.

"I... I mean, is there anything else I haven't said?" Bobo suddenly asked.

Everyone was taken aback. Before they could speak, they saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu walk up to the uncle and say, "Thank you very much for your help, but could you please give us some privacy now?"

"That's possible, but as for fireworks, since you don't have the necessary permits, I can't set off such large fireworks. It wouldn't be good if we accidentally messed up something and caused an accident," the uncle said.

"That's enough. Give us ten minutes," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

The man nodded and walked away, leaving everyone else behind at the base of the launch tower.

"There are still ten minutes left. If you have anything else to say, please say it," Tsuchimikado Fuyu gestured.

Everyone fell silent. Everyone had already said what needed to be said. If anyone wanted to say anything more, it was either because they were afraid of saying anything that would make Menma sad to leave, or because there were too many people and they were embarrassed to say anything.

Seeing that no one was moving, Bobo bowed and shouted, "Menma, I've been so happy these past few days, thank you, and thank you for your forgiveness. I hope you're happy in heaven too."

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Bobo to actually say it. Menma walked up to Bobo and tried to pat his head, but she just walked right through it.

However, she didn't mind and said with a smile, "I'm very happy too, very happy to see Bobo again."

Because Bobo took the lead, everyone else couldn't help but chime in and started talking.

Anjou Naruko: "Menma, we've always been good friends, and I hope we can stay good friends in the future."

Matsuyuki Atsushi: "Menma, I love you, I've always loved you. I know you love Yadomi, but I will never give up."

Tsuruko: "Menma, I won't give him to you."

Anjou Naruko: "Me too"

Satoshi Honma: "Sister, I will protect our home."

Honma Iri said, "Meiko, don't forget what your mother said. You must take good care of yourself."

Just as Menma's friends were saying goodbye to Menma, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others didn't go over. They had already said what they wanted to say, and there was nothing more to say, so they decided to leave the time to the others.

After the other members said goodbye to Menma, everyone turned their attention to Jinta Yadomi, who had been silent all along, reminding him that it was his turn to say what he wanted to say.

However, no one spoke up, because it would be meaningless if Jinta Yadomi didn't say it himself.

Time passed by, and Jinta Yadomi remained silent, his head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Everyone watched Jinta Yadomi quietly, eagerly anticipating his next move.

Menma was the same, silently waiting, hoping that Jinta Yadomi would confess to her.

Just then, the uncle came back again, looked at everyone and said, "It's about time, we should start now, otherwise it will disturb the neighbors if we stay out too late."

"Ahhh~ Yes," Jinta Yadomi quickly replied.

"Jinta." Everyone looked at Jinta Yadomi with concern. Everyone else had already resolved their inner conflicts, but they were a little suspicious of Jinta Yadomi.

Although everyone had talked about it a couple of days ago, and Jinta Yadomi didn't seem to be faking it, there was one thing missing: confessing to Menma.

So everyone has been waiting for this for the past two days. If Jinta Yadomi doesn't confess, and Menma can't ascend to heaven because of his obsession, then there will be big trouble.

While no one can be certain about this, it's not impossible. Moreover, everyone hopes that Jinta Yadomi can provide the answers that Menma couldn't get before her death.

Before this, everyone was indeed somewhat unwilling, but the fact that Menma liked Jinta Yadomi was unchangeable, so even though they were unwilling, they were willing to let go for Menma's sake.

Moreover, everyone has truly let go of the past.

Under the uncle's direction, everyone stood a little further away, lined up, and silently watched the fireworks together with Menma in front of them.

Once everyone was ready, the uncle lit the fireworks.

Unlike in the original story, Jinta Yadomi didn't stop them here, which suggests he has truly let go of the past.

As for why he didn't confess to Menma earlier, although everyone had some guesses, they still hoped that Jinta Yadomi would say it at the last moment so as not to leave himself with any regrets.

After all, as modern people, they are atheists. Even if they know about the existence of Onmyoji and ghosts, they instinctively do not believe in the existence of angels.

The reason for believing is simply because of a beautiful, hopeful, or even self-deceptive expectation.

The fuse was lit, and the fireworks soared into the sky. Everyone stared blankly at the fireworks exploding into colorful smoke in the sky, when suddenly they realized that Menma had turned around.

"Everyone, Menma might be leaving," Menma suddenly said.

"Menma." Everyone knew she might be saying goodbye, so they all looked at Menma quietly.

"I like the kind-hearted Tsuruko the most, I like the hardworking Yukiatsu the most, I like the funny Popo the most, and I like the reliable Kikuka the most."

I love my dad, mom, and little scallion the most.

I love the tsundere Fuyuki the most, I love the cute Rikka and Dekomori the most, I love the game-loving Gabriel the most, I love the great demon Satania the most, I love the gentle Vignette the most, I love the caring Raphiel the most, I love the sleepy Fennel the most, I love the beautiful and generous Mori the most, and I love everyone in the garden the most.

And then there's Chika, whom I just met; she's my favorite too.

"And lastly, I like Jinta the most. My liking for Jinta is the kind of liking where I wish I could be Jinta's bride." Menma smiled at Jinta. "So, Jinta, say it properly."

Upon hearing Menma's words, everyone who had been holding back their tears could no longer hold them back and burst into tears.

"What are you saying?" Jinta Yakumi asked, fighting back tears.

“That will bring it to a complete end. Menma believes we will meet again.” Menma’s body became increasingly transparent, but she still said with a smile.

Jinta Yadomi still didn't move, so Bobo, to encourage him, shouted again, "I like you the most too, Menma!"

"I like you the most too."

"Of course I like you the most too."

"Menma, we all like you too!"

"Meiko, Mommy loves you the most too."

"Sister, I also like it best when it's gone."

"..."

“A farewell isn’t something that can be decided unilaterally by anyone, right, Jinta?” Bobo said with a smile.

Jinta Yadomi sighed softly. He wanted to struggle a little more, but Menma had already said so much, so he shouldn't dwell on it anymore.

"Thank you for granting my wish. I love you the most, Menma," Jinta Yadomi said with a smile.

Menma and the others smiled. Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Raphiel exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, knowing it was their turn to make a move.

In reality, calling it an intervention was just a way to give Menma a different way of ascending to heaven, so that her friends would believe that Menma would really go to heaven and become an angel.

At the same time, it was also a reminder to the Judgment Tower that Menma was a qualified person from Heaven and a candidate for angels, so that they could quickly allow Menma to pass.

After all, given Menma's kindness, even if the Judgment Tower doesn't go easy on her, it's a certainty that she'll be promoted to Heaven. She has absolutely no dark side.

In this respect, Raphiel and Gabriel, as true angels, were both ashamed of themselves.

However, it didn't matter to them, since Menma could become an angel because her heart was free of darkness and she had that kind of aptitude.

Raphiel and the others became angels not because they wanted to, but because they were born angels.

So Raphiel made her move.

Then, just like in the original story, Menma simply dissipated and ascended to the heavens. But Raphiel transformed it into a beam of golden light suddenly shooting down from the sky, and then, in a manner similar to guiding someone, guided Menma to the heavens.

This change surprised everyone, who were all certain that Menma had ascended to heaven and was about to become an angel.

Although they don't know if they will be able to ascend to heaven in the future, as long as Menma is alright, then even if they never see her again, they will have no regrets.

Of course, this golden light was composed of spiritual energy, so none of the uncles could see it. He just stared at everyone with a blank expression, completely unable to understand what these people were doing.

Chapter 532 A Different Ruling

In an empty elevator, a girl in a white dress suddenly appeared. She stood there quietly with her eyes closed, as if asleep. (588novel)

Suddenly, the elevator buttons lit up by themselves, and then the elevator started moving upwards. The girl's eyes lit up, and she stared blankly at her surroundings. "Where am I?"

Inside the bar, a white-haired bartender was wiping glasses, while a girl with long, straight black hair stood next to him reading a book.

"We have a guest." Suddenly, Dejim stopped what he was doing and looked at the elevator.

The girl with long, straight black hair paused slightly, then closed her book and quietly waited for the guest to arrive.

Soon, the elevator announced its arrival, the doors opened, and Menma cautiously stepped out, looking around curiously. "Where am I?"

“Welcome, welcome to Quinn Dekim. I am Dekim, the bartender,” Dekim said with a bow.

"Hello, I am... Huh? Who am I again?" Menma paused, scratched her head in annoyance, and then chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry, I think I've forgotten my own name, hehe."
