You say this is a love game?

It was very similar to the time when he rode his bicycle for more than 200 kilometers. In fact, he had a premonition that he could not hold on many times, but it was Kako who was riding on the back seat of the bicycle. The girl hugged him and supported him to the end with some mysterious power.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems very different.

This time, hugging his figure, the feeling it conveyed was very warm, as if someone was squeezing in his arms and hugging him tightly in the snow.

The warmth at that moment... was completely different from the cold atmosphere I felt on the bicycle.

Looking around - a damaged door, a thrown-open raincoat, umbrellas scattered on the ground, this is Toshiya Hosokawa's old house.

Was he moved back by Jiazi last night?

Moreover, Yoshiko pulled him back from the brink of death?

Mizutani Makoto quickly sorted out the current situation. These things were not difficult to understand and there was not much to guess.

Outside the house, dim light penetrated into the house, dispelling all the cold and dampness in the house.

Is this the end?

The warm touch on the left side of my body suddenly became obvious.

Mizutani Makoto subconsciously looked over and saw Yoshiko looking up at him. Her eyes were no longer bathed in black and red as before, but had returned to their original appearance.

Spiritual and clear.

It was as if something was quietly dissolved in that hug.

As if by instinct, he suddenly realized that she was no longer a vengeful spirit.

...Okay!

Looking back now, when Yoshiko Satori revealed her true form yesterday, I felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The thick blood kept dripping, and the whole body was surrounded by gray mist, with a ghostly aura.

Compared to those campus ghost stories, the sense of oppression is much stronger.

At first glance, he is a small BOSS worthy of the Wumen.

The kind that can kill dozens of him in a crack.

It is true that he was the main force last night, but if Jiazi really went crazy, her lethality would probably be far greater than his.

...Kurosawa Ryohito was right.

The previous Yoshiko Satori was definitely a vengeful spirit of extremely high purity.

If he goes berserk, he'll probably drag a large group of people down with him.

"Big brother, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Mizutani Makoto shook his head.

He helped Yoshiko stand up, opened the door and walked out.

Outside the house, the morning light pierced through the clouds and felt very warm on my body.

The sky was hanging upside down in the Jishuitan. The sky, washed by rain, was blue to the point of being dazzling. A soft cumulonimbus cloud was floating loosely in the southeast, its edge framed by silver from the sunlight.

This is the countryside.

Mizutani Makoto also felt the refreshing scent of grass and trees in the air.

The wind blew through Mizutani Makoto's hair, tearing into pieces the stuffiness and humidity accumulated by the rainy days of the past few days.

Yoshiko Satori looked at him curiously, and after a while she also imitated him by tilting her head back and taking a deep breath.

Her actions seemed novel to Mizutani Makoto, so he took a few furtive glances at her and discovered that she was imitating him by looking up at the sky.

Good learning.

Mizutani Makoto saw the shadows of clouds swimming in her pupils, which were clearer than the real sky.

Really free.

Yes, Makoto Mizutani didn't care about Toshiya Hosokawa who died at his hands. He didn't feel any psychological pressure and it was impossible for him to feel uncomfortable about his death.

Throughout his life, he shoulders the ultimate goal of achieving "happiness".

As for the idea of ​​physically destroying his enemies, he was well prepared.

It has been mentioned before that there is one thing he has to do in this life, and that is to kill those bastards who are involved in a cult.

Even though he was pretty stupid at that time, it was definitely the fault of that evil cult.

That is to say, he is still a high school student and has no social power, otherwise he would have been able to sink those bastards who dared to make a fuss about his sister's death into Tokyo Bay.

This was also one of the reasons why he worked so hard to become a superior person.

Ultimately, it all leads to "happiness".

It is important to his happiness that he be free from cults.

He talked to Jiazi about the follow-up of last night.

Yoshiko buried Toshiya Hosokawa's body underground.

There are quite a few people who go missing or die in Japan every year. Whether Toshiya Hosokawa's death will be discovered depends on how his family reacts... This is not his concern. When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

He asked about Yoshiko's condition again, but the girl puffed up her cheeks and decided to correct one thing first.

"Big brother, call me Kako. It sounds strange to call me Satori Satori."

Mizutani Makoto nodded.

Then Yoshiko Satori said, "I don't know what happened, but my strength weakened and disappeared completely by the end of the night."

Yoshiko Satori was talking about her power as a vengeful spirit.

The child smiled innocently again, and Mizutani Makoto realized that she was actually quite satisfied with the result.

"But before the power disappeared, I returned the vitality to my elder brother..."

It wasn't just Mizutani Makoto whose vitality was plundered by her.

There was also the vitality of Toshiya Hosokawa when he died that was intercepted by her.

This vitality is stored in Yoshiko, slowly nourishing Mizutani Makoto, and is also the source of the "warmth" he feels.

"Now, I am not a vengeful spirit."

The girl who found her name gave an innocent smile.

She said: "I can bring luck and happiness to people."

Mizutani Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

so good.

If he had not met Yoshiko, or if he had met Yoshiko but did not help her, and she subsequently went berserk under special circumstances, then in order to survive, he would probably have to fight Yoshiko with a kitchen knife.

Fortunately, his sister likes to eat strawberry daifuku, and Kako's mother also likes to eat strawberry daifuku. This little strawberry daifuku brought the two together.

This is their "fate".

But, things shouldn't be over yet.

Mizutani Makoto asked, "Is there anything else you want to do?"

Yoshiko Satori, who was smiling just now, suddenly fell silent.

Mizutani Makoto bent down, knowing that Yoshiko's smile was forced. She was gone after all, yet she still had something she was deeply attached to.

Yoshiko Satori put her hands in front of her red skirt, her fingertips tightly grasping the hem, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I want to see my father and mother..."

"I want to give them a gift..."

"Ah."

Mizutani Makoto had anticipated this and said:

"I'll take you."

Chapter 051 Beyond Life and Death

It was expected that Yoshiko would look for her mother.

After learning about her experience, Makoto Mizutani guessed what her last wish was.

This kid lives in Night Light City just like him. It is indeed brave of him to run more than 200 kilometers, but he certainly cannot ride back because he still has legs to support.

After packing everything up, it was almost nine o'clock before leaving. The phone that fell in the corner had a few missed calls.

Mizutani Makoto immediately broke out in a sweat. As expected, it was a call from his homeroom teacher and supervisor. He had generously canceled his studies and part-time newspaper delivery job today, but the key point was that he had not reported it in advance. This series of calls made him a little nervous.

sigh.

I, Shushu, am clearly a young hero who eliminates evil for the people.

Transportation is inconvenient in the countryside, and Mizutani Makoto had to walk for a while before finding the high-speed rail station. As the ghost lady, Satori Yoshiko successfully evaded the ticket and sat next to him in the carriage, squeezing together with him.

Zashiki-warashi is essentially a ghost.

Although Satori Yoshiko no longer has the cold and eerie look she had as a vengeful spirit, her spiritual characteristics are still there. When you get close to her, you can feel a cool sensation, just like suddenly having an air conditioner at the perfect temperature in the middle of summer, making you feel cool.

Moreover, that warm vitality was still being transmitted, and combined with the coolness of Satori Yoshiko herself, Mizutani Makoto actually felt as comfortable as a massage.

When getting off the car, this guy's steps were still light and fluttery, which made Jiazi feel like she had PTSD and she immediately became nervous.

"Life force should be fine..."

"Ahem, I just feel so comfortable."

"……Oh."

It shouldn't be an illusion.

From the past events he saw after using the smelling salts, Satori Yoshiko herself had a lively and cheerful personality. Not only was she a good child who livened up the atmosphere at home, she was also very popular at school. She was the type of person who had friends everywhere.

The reason for being restrained is largely due to being engulfed by loneliness and fear.

She had no place to stay before.

Because she was buried deep in the darkness underground and was filled with so much resentment, she even forgot her own name for a while and was unsure of her own "existence". It can be seen that this child must be very frightened inside.

Now that she has found her lost past and resolved the resentment in her heart, Satori Yoshiko has also found the feeling of...relaxation she had in her previous life.

Well, it should be.

There were people coming and going in the high-speed rail station, and Yoshiko Satori followed him nervously. Since others could not observe her, she had to dodge left and right frequently to avoid being hit... Even if she was hit, she would not feel any pain, but would be directly penetrated, but she did not like that feeling.

In the end, she simply grabbed the corner of Mizutani Makoto's clothes tightly and followed him.

Makoto Mizutani set foot on the land of Night Light City again.

On the road, some passers-by would consciously give way to him when they saw him.

He could probably guess why - he had been running around for two days in a row and had no time to take care of his appearance. Now not only did his hair look messy, but even his clothes were wrinkled. He looked a bit like a new tramp. However, since he was young and handsome, he could barely explain his "sense of vicissitudes of life".

It's time to take a good rest.

Otherwise, you might not even be able to get into the hospital.

As for the hospital where Satori Yoshiko's mother works, it's actually not difficult to find.

The difficulty is,

Even if he went, what could he do?

……

……

At his wife's bedside,

A stack of crumpled missing person notices was placed on the bedside table.

Yasuhiko Satori sat dejectedly.

A haggard woman was lying on the hospital bed.

That was his wife, Harukako Sanatori.

More than a month after her daughter disappeared, Harukako Satori, who was already suffering from chemotherapy and cancer, had her faith mostly collapsed. Finally, the day before yesterday, her condition worsened rapidly, and she quickly entered a stage of unconsciousness today.
