Yokohama 8pm Theater

Chapter 32

"...Oda, Kazue."

"...Do you think that if I bring Yuko directly to Mori Ogai and tell him that my daughter can't live without a father, will he agree to bring his capable subordinates into the "Fushiin"? "

The couple looked at each other, and finally Oda answered the question.

"I think he will agree. Using Dazai in exchange for the possibility of cooperation between Hong Kong Hei and "Fajiyuan" is nothing but beneficial to Hong Kong Hei, and it is in line with his style of action. "

"Forget it, I was joking." Michiko waved her hand to dispel this unrealistic thought.

Although she didn't remember many memories, she still had a certain understanding of this adoptive father.This understanding is even rooted in her heart in the form of an "intuition", warning her not to get too close and trust Mori Ogai.

Michiko thought that maybe she was also influenced by this "intuition". In her impression, she never called Mori Ogai "father", but always referred to him as "teacher".

"Let's leave the affairs of Hong Kong gangsters to the special affairs department to worry about. Anyway, those old foxes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs hope that we will not interfere in the internal affairs of Yokohama. As for Osamu Dazai—"

Michiko thought of the time at the beach.Originally, she wanted to ask Dazai what plans he had for the future. If he had already decided to leave Hong Kong and Heilongjiang, then she could start to arrange related matters.As a result, too many unexpected situations happened, causing her to forget this important thing.

"Let's put his matter aside for now, and we'll talk about it later when I ask him to have a private chat."

At this moment, Michiko's cell phone on the table rang suddenly.

Seeing the note name on the caller ID, she felt strange, but she still connected the phone.

"...Miss Michiko, excuse me."

"Mrs. Amane?" Michiko was slightly taken aback when she heard the voice of the obstetrician Shiki Amane.

"...It's me." There was a trace of exhaustion in the clear and soft voice like a mountain spring, "I really feel sorry for bothering you at this time, but my husband's time is short, I hope to see you for the last time."

The time is running out for the obstetrician Shiki Yaozai?

The hand that tapped the table paused, Michiko lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then replied: "Okay, I'm going to Kyoto tomorrow."

……

Kyoto, the residence of the Ubushiki clan.

There are large areas of wisteria planted in the huge courtyard. It is in the flowering period at this time, and the lavender wisteria flowers are like waterfalls, blooming layer by layer.From the arbitrariness at the top to the budding at the bottom, it seems that all the rich purple has settled to the bottom of the flower spikes, and when the wind blows, it will flow into a sea of ​​purple.

Even though the creature "oni" has disappeared with the death of Onimai Tsuji, the Ubayashiki family did not remove the wisteria flowers used to fight "oni".

"...beautiful, isn't it?"

The paper door facing the courtyard was open, and Yoya Yashiki, who was lying in the futon, could "see" the vibrant spring scenery with just one side of his head. ——Although he has already lost the ability to see things.

"... Wisteria is one of the most effective things against ghosts, but this is only a trivial meaning of its existence in the world. Without ghosts, it is still beautiful, can be used as medicine, and can be used as food. In my heart , the same goes for the children of the Ghost Slayer Squad.”

The terminally ill young man turned his head with difficulty, looked at Michiko who was kneeling beside him, and said in a weak but gentle voice, "The children of the Ghost Killing Squad... are they doing well?"

Yuya Ubuyashiki's gaze was too gentle and persistent, Michiko couldn't bear it, and chose to hide a part and only tell him the good news.

"They are doing well. I arranged for the top psychotherapy team in the "Untimely Hospital" to take charge of this matter. Most of them have adapted to the new life and found a new job...Even Tomioka Yoshiyuki Become a well-known fitness u master. "

Hearing this, Yuya Ubuyashiki couldn't help laughing.

It's just that he didn't laugh for a long time before he coughed violently because he couldn't catch his breath. With the help of his wife Tianyin, it took him a while to recover.

"...Really... I'm sorry to trouble you...Miss Michiko." Ubayashiki Yoya intermittently said words of thanks, and there seemed to be a gleam of light in his dull eyes.

Michiko smiled and shook her head: "This is what I should do."

"You have solved the ghost dance Tsuji Wumi, and all the ghosts will disappear, and Tongmo, one of the twelve ghost moons, is no exception." Her gaze fell to the wisteria waterfall outside the courtyard, where the light and shadow shimmered in the sun, and her thoughts drifted to In the distance, "Before the reorganization of "Feishiyuan", many members died in his hands, even the former leader of "Rabbit".The Golden Clan has a lot of grudges with Tong Mo, but he is very good at hiding his whereabouts, so we have never found his hiding place.Now that he is dead, it should be me thanking you. "

In fact, it doesn't matter who thanks whom.

Ghosts are the enemies of mankind, and their disappearance is a good thing for everyone.

Ubuyashiki Yoya coughed a few times, and said with emotion: "The curse of the Ubuyashiki clan will end with me... Teriyaki, he will not be like me... It's just that there is always something in my heart that I can't let go...Obviously Already aware of such an ending, but..."

Yuya Ubuyashiki didn't finish the rest of the sentence, his energy and body didn't allow him to continue the conversation.

So, Michiko said something to reassure him and left the room.

In the evening, in the corridor of the courtyard.

Ubuyashiki Amane took the initiative to find Michiko who was sitting there resting.

"This is the refreshment I made, would Miss Michiko want to try it?"

There were two cups of tea and a stack of fluffy round cakes on the desk. Michiko picked up one and took a bite. The mouth was full of fresh and sweet scent mixed with flowers.

"Wisteria?" Michiko looked at the layer of purple petal filling in the middle of the cake and asked, "So it can also be used to make pastries."

"There are actually many uses of wisteria flowers. In addition to making cakes, it can also be used as medicine. Even if it is made into an amulet, it is also very good." Ubuyashiki Tianyin took out a small purple amulet from his sleeve and continued, "From a long time ago The Ubuyashiki family is deliberately promoting wisteria culture. Up to now, wisterias are planted in most places in Kyoto. Although the cannibal ghosts have disappeared, we still hope to continue this culture. It is to commemorate the past The comrades who are fighting on the front line of killing ghosts also want to remember this history."

The truth cannot be disclosed to the public, but the sacrificed ones will not be forgotten. It might be a good thing to entrust wisteria flowers.

Michiko ate the remaining wisteria pancakes, and then said to Ubuyashiki Amane: "Mrs. Amane, do you still have such cakes? I want to bring some to my daughter when I go back to Tokyo. She must like it very much."

"Yes, I will pack it for you tomorrow. Speaking of which, Ms. Michiko's daughter is called 'Yuko'? It just so happened that I made a new wisteria flower guard for Teriya and the others. If Ms. Michiko doesn't mind, I will give you two as well." Bar."

"Of course I don't dislike it! How could I dislike it?" Michiko said, with a happy smile on her face, "Thank you, Mrs. Tianyin. I heard that this kind of omori has been soaked in concentrated wisteria juice for a long time. The effect of exorcising ghosts?"

Ubuyashiki Amane couldn't help laughing: "It's not that powerful, but it can have an effect on some people who have just become 'ghosts' for a short time. At the beginning, I also hoped to protect the safety of ordinary people as much as possible, and now only Sending some best wishes."

"That's pretty good! To be blessed by a family of priests, such an opportunity is rare."

"Stop making fun of me."

Ubuyashiki Amane lowered her eyes, restrained her smile, and gently rubbed the cup wall with her hand holding the hot tea, as if she had fallen into the memories of the past.

"If the blessings of the priestly family are really effective...if I have such a strong power, my husband may not have to work so hard. The last time of his life has to endure the torment of illness, even so, he still cares about ghost killing Everyone on the team expects everyone who survives to live an ordinary but happy life. He—”

After a pause, the young white-haired woman looked up at Michiko and asked earnestly, "Miss Michiko, I know that what you said to your husband today was to reassure him, so could you please tell me that the members of the Demon Slayer Squad are the truth is?"

Michiko put away her smile.

She lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and agreed to Miyashiki Amane's request.

Everything was as Ubuyashiki Amane guessed.

Michiko didn't tell Yoya Miyayashiki the real situation, in order to let the young head of the family who had been working hard all his life to defeat Oni Mai Tsuji and make the tragic creatures like "oni" disappear with peace of mind.

"...The suicide phenomenon among the members of the Ghost Killing Squad has improved, but there have been several suicides recently. Psychotherapy is a long and slow process. I have given full authority to Hasegawa, who has extensive experience in this field Take responsibility and trust that everything will be fine.”

"Is it Mr. Hasegawa who has saved countless suicidal people and made many outstanding contributions in psychotherapy?"

"That's right, it's him." Talking about this member of "Arashiin", Michiko felt a lot of emotion in her heart, "Before joining "Arashiin", Hasegawa was a genius in this field. All energy is put into work.He once said that because he has such abilities and has the opportunity to develop them to the maximum, he should try his best to save more people. "

However, I don’t know if it’s because “prosperous in career, frustrated in love”, Hasegawa’s family is not harmonious, his wife divorced him a year ago, and took away their only daughter.

Michiko sighed silently.

At this time, a certain person's face suddenly flashed in her mind. She remembered that Dazai had said similar words not long ago, and now it is obvious who is the real "frustrated in love" after such a comparison.

Her thoughts strayed a little far, and before she was about to go further away, Michiko withdrew her mind and looked at Amayashiki Amane beside her.

"Madame Tianyin..."

"lady--!"

Michiko was interrupted by a shout from the corner of the corridor.I saw a servant rushing to this side, quickly saluted Michiko and the two, and then raised his head, reporting sadly:

"Ma'am, Patriarch, he...he went..."
