This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The development of things to this point is already an irreversible process.

Inagaki Ka continued: "Xiang Li's mother is a woman who always looks gloomy... and a little gentle. When I handed Xiang Li to us, we also asked us to take good care of her, and we treat her too. The promise was over..."

"Jing’s condition has improved, and playing with Xiangli doesn’t lack friends... At that time, Zhengyong and I wanted to take the two of them out of the longhouse and return to the port area to live a good family life."

Speaking of this, Inagaki's voice became extremely heavy, and the originally organized words and sentences became unable to speak.

Beichuan Temple took what she wanted to say: "But you didn't expect that two or three days after the adoption of Shendai Xiangli, she had an accident."

Yes it is.

It was supposed to be a happy ending, but the situation turned around.

"It was a sunny day. Zhengyong and I wanted to go through the formal adoption procedures, and also took the Jing to the hospital for a physical examination... but that day... an accident happened."

That's right, no one thought that a tragic traffic accident would happen so easily.

Why did the doorpost on the other side of the long house fall down on the day of Beichuan Temple?

Why is there a strong impact mark there?

And why does the spirit body of Shindai Fragrant Pear appear next to the trail every time, as if looking for someone else's figure?

That's because it was there that Jindai Xiangli suffered a traffic accident.

Her small body was easily hit by a vehicle and was declared dead before she reached the hospital.

And the person who stood by the gatepost and waited for Kashiro Korin—

"Just me and Zhengyong are still quiet."

Inagaki squeezed her face in pain.

A song card of the dilapidated Hundreds was stained with dazzling blood, scattered all over the place.

When Inagaki and the others arrived when they received the news, only the small corpses that had been cold for a long time were the only objects in sight.

"From then on...Jing's condition began to deteriorate again."

Inagaki closed her eyes, her expression reluctant to recall the situation.

"She persisted for several months, left something behind, and then passed away. Before she died, she still chanted Xiangli's name..."

This is the beginning and end of everything.

The arrival of Shindai Fragrant Pear opened the lock in Inagaki's mind.

And the death of Shendai Xiangli also made her fall to a deeper place.

"Leave something?" Beichuan Temple's eyes flickered.

To tell the truth, the investigation has progressed to this point, in fact, there is already a feeling that people cannot continue.

After all, after the death of Kashiro Korin, Inagaki also passed away with him.

The agreement between the two has also fallen into vain.

It is impossible to continue.

And under the observation of the lifeless vision of Beichuan Temple, he also did not find that Inagaki's spiritual body was hidden in Inagaki's house.

No matter what Shindai Kori has agreed with Inagaki Shizuo, it is only the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and it can no longer be realized.

And the obsession that drove her to linger...maybe forever and forever trap her near the long house, and her spirit body can't get real rest either—

but...

Is this really just the final result?

Beichuan Temple stared at the teacup.

Will the system post tasks that cannot be completed?

This is undoubtedly impossible.

After all, is Kashiro Kashi really just obsessed with fulfilling her promise with Inagaki?

Kashiro Kori...she has been hovering under the long house, what exactly is she trying to express?

The emotion she wants to convey to Inagaki...Her thoughts...Is it really not conveyed?

Beichuan Temple has now seized the line.

The answer is attached to the other end.

As long as he continues to explore, the answer he wants can be seen at the end of the line.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple raised his head and asked, "Ms. Inagaki, I want to ask, did you know from Ling Ai's life that there was any agreement between her and Xiangli?"

"Promise...?"

As if attracted by the words, Inagaki raised her head: "Speaking of it... it seems that there is such a thing."

Inagaki Kazuo thought for a while: "It was also that day... I took Jing to check my body, Xiangli said one thing..."

"Probably what is it?" Beichuan Temple came to the spirit.

"She hopes to wait for Jing to come back and play a one-hundred-one game with her... It seems that they are both looking forward to it. This is one of the reasons why Xiangli has been waiting by the doorpost that day."

Come to a game of one hundred people?

This is the agreement between Kandako Pear and Inagaki Ka?

Thinking of the character of Kashiro Xiangli, she might really wait for such an innocuous agreement by the doorpost for a long time.

And this wait... is six years.

These six years passed in an instant.

Shindai Kori still watched Inagaki at the gatepost.

But the person who had agreed with her was actually gone early.

She can only appear forever in the evening and dusk, and then disappear in the evening.

Day and night.

Never stop.

but-

"Can I take a look at what Ling Ai left behind? There may be some clues in it."

Beichuan Temple asked.

His awe-inspiring gaze made Inagaki stunned.

In fact, Inagaki really wanted to ask him.

What can he do even if he knows the ins and outs of all that back then?

Shindai Fragrantari had already passed away, and Inagaki also left with him.

Under this situation, what would Beichuan Temple do even if it knew what happened at that time?

Originally Inagaki wanted to reject Beichuan Temple.

After all, this kind of thing can be regarded as the death of the deceased during his lifetime, and it is simply impossible to show it to outsiders at will.

but...

Beichuan Temple's serious look made her hesitate to the point of her lips.

The eyes of the other party were still shining brightly.

It is definitely not a malicious attempt to dig into the eyes of other people.

The awe-inspiring look made Inagaki Ka hesitate, and then agreed.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Kitagawa." Inagaki Kazuya finally agreed.

In Beichuan Temple's gaze, she walked back into the room with the niche, and after a simple search, she walked out carrying a small wooden box.

In it...

Just put the things left by Inagaki Shizumi in the past.

And those things... is there a way to break through this dilemma?

To be honest, Beichuan Temple is not clear.

But everything has room to try.

Inagaki opened the wooden box in front of Beichuan Temple.

What appeared in front of Beichuan Temple made him squint.

"this is...?"

......

It's dusk again.

It was the same crowd evacuated again.

Kanashiro looked at the same scene, and there was no change in her gesture of holding the song card.

The figure under the sunset is somewhat thin.

She shrank her body, staring at the other side of the street, and finally sighed softly.

No one comes.

Still no one came today.

Kashiro Korin patted her face lightly, cheering herself up with such a gesture.

She is dead.

There is time.

Just keep waiting.

Will wait for her one day.

Wait until she comes back... and then ask about the appointment...

Shindai Xiangli's figure gradually became illusory, and she felt like she was going to disappear in the next second.

but-

Patter.

There are more palms on the empty shoulders.

Kashiro Kashi turned around with a surprised expression on her face.

Under her gaze, Inagaki stood quietly behind her, smiling quietly.

Kashiro Korin's small body stretched, looking at Inagaki, who was the same height as herself, she barely smiled:

"Quiet..."

"Fragrant pears."

Shindai Xiangli's pale golden tears gushed out in the next moment.

In six years...

Six years of waiting...

This forced her to reach out and hug Inagaki in front of her tightly.

Inagaki also just smiled quietly.

She stretched out her hand and stroked Shindai Xiangli's head with a gentle expression.

Let you wait so long.

I'm really sorry.

The other party seems to want to express such a statement.

However, Shindai Xiangli shook her head and wiped her tears.

Inagaki's ability to abide by the promise and come here again has surprised her enough.

She took out the card of a hundred people in her arms cherishedly.

Arrange them on the ground according to the song card rules.

Then Shindai Fragrant Pear looked at Inagaki Jing.

The other party smiled quietly and nodded.

The long-term tacit understanding between the two people has reached this point.

No words are needed at all.

The voice of the immature children's singing card sounded.

Those who come into contact with a song card can get a song card, which counts as one point.

The one with the more song cards wins.

Shindai Kori and Inagaki just look at the game with a normal mentality.

With the passage of time, the two-person game gradually comes to an end.

The last card was held in hand by Kashiro Kashiwa.

The whole game is over here.

This is a bland...almost no wave of gameplay.

It doesn't matter who wins and who loses.

Kashiro Korin just grabbed this card, hugged Inagaki in front of him with one hand, and made a slightly illusory voice: "Jing...I have a lot of words... I really have so many things to say to you. ..."

What happened to the little monster that we watched cartoons together before? What about the hero? ...

Have the small flowers planted together bloomed? How is the flower garden?

"And...and..."

Kashiro Korin opened her mouth, with an expression of excitement on her face, reaching out to Shizu Inagaki—

Patter.

next moment.

Shindai fragrant pear suddenly disappeared in place.

Only the last song card was left and fell from the air.

When the obsession is complete, the wandering soul will rest in peace.

In other words... the Shindai fragrant pear has rested in peace.

There will no longer be her near the long house.

This is also a good thing for Shindai fragrant pears.

Sora left a quiet Inagaki, watching all this with sad eyes.

She squeezed the song card and half closed her eyes.

After a while... she also turned into the purest soul thought and disappeared...

It was quiet around the long house.

The night has fallen unknowingly.

The evening breeze was gentle, blowing the landscape trees on both sides of the road.

The rustling sound made the night very quiet.

The quiet moonlight was scattered.

The dark night was dotted with stars.

Everything is clean.

In this atmosphere.

Inagaki's long house doesn't seem to be as hideous and terrifying as it used to be, but it reveals a sense of home...reassuring.

Time passed for a long time.

When the street lights are flashing and all pedestrians stop and go home to rest.

The small figure reappeared on the side of the trail.

She is holding a lot of song cards, holding a lot of song cards tightly.

Twisted braids...worn red and white cotton jacket...round little face.

It is the Shindai fragrant pear that was thought to have rested before.

She stared at the place where she played with Inagaki just now, and it took a while before she cried.

Shendai Xiangli cried a little inexplicably, and she didn't know why she was so sad.

Only she can understand the reason for this.

in fact.

Shindai Fragrant Pear already knew about it.

The fact that Inagaki is dead.

The fact that he won't be here again.

No matter how she waited, it was just a fact of meaningless behavior.

But even so, she has been waiting.

Have been waiting forever.

She always held a touch of fantasy in her heart.

In fact, the illness Inagaki has already overcome is living somewhere.

But Inagaki's illusion just now completely broke her.

Because the silence of Inagaki just now...seems very real.

But in fact, Goddai Xiangli clearly understands.

It's just a mere illusion... a realistic illusion.

She didn't want to disappoint the person who arranged this kind of action specifically for her to rest in peace.

So she pretended that she had rested in peace and made a scene of disappearing.

Because only by doing this is the greatest gratitude to that person, right?

Shindai Korin is such a gentle and sensible child.

Even if she is so sensible, people can't help but love her more...

"Big Brother Beichuan, thank you."

Kamashiro cheered up, and she bowed to the other corner of the street.

Yes it is.

She can figure out who is helping with just a little thought.

The only person she had contacted in the past two days was Beichuan Temple, who had a special ability.

He is the only one who can do this.

The other party has done this kind of service.

Shindai Xiangli didn't want him to feel that all his efforts were in vain.

She thanked Beichuan Temple.

She did not want to trouble Beichuan Temple.

This was originally her own problem.

Shindai Kali is a very patient girl.

She will continue to wait.

Even if there is no hope for the road ahead, continue to grit your teeth and endure it.

It's as if she concealed everything when she suffered from her father's domestic violence, so as not to let others worry about it.

Yes, she wants to continue like this.

Even if the next is endless loneliness and the future with almost invisible way forward.

"But is that really good?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in my ears.

This stunned the sorrowful Shindai Xiangli.

She turned around in astonishment.

It turned out that Beichuan Temple had already stood behind her before she knew it.

He still looks calm.

His clean black eyes were looking at Kandaro Korin.

Under such gaze, Kashiro Kashiro couldn't help holding the card in her arms tightly.

"Xiangli. Do you think it's really good for you to go on like this?"

Beichuan Temple asked again.

This time I asked the question in front of Shindai Xiangli.

Not bad.

All this was arranged by Beichuan Temple.

The illusion that appeared in front of Kashiro Kashiwa was created by him combining Asamiya Eternal Life, Nishikujo Poor, and Kamizumi Makie.

That Inagaki is indeed a false illusion.

These won't let Goddai fragrant pear rest in peace.

But at the moment when Shindai Fragrant Pear reappeared, Beichuan Temple's guess was also verified.

Yes, he has figured everything out.

The obsession of Shindai Fragrant Pear.

She and Inagaki's agreement.

These are in front of Beichuan Temple...

It's not unknown anymore!
