Chapter 4 The Journey to the Modern City 1
How far is the distance between life and death.
It can be as close as a veil, but it can also be as far away as a bottomless abyss.
When the familiar voice sounded in the ears together, when the figure that was extremely familiar to him appeared in front of him.
Countless days and nights, the figure of fantasy in tears appeared in front of him as in his own fantasy, if it was possible now.
Honma Ilyin's tears welled up instantly, and he pounced, "Mei Yizi!"
"Mei Yizi!" he almost thought it was an auditory hallucination when he heard that voice, but when he saw the figure that he could never forget no matter how many times he did, his usually calm hand trembled slightly, and his throat became unusually hoarse and dry as if it was blocked by a nugget of gold, but he finally called out the name he had taken down.
It was supposed to be the name of a child who would have made him proud and happy for the rest of his life, the name that made him regard the most precious treasure in the world.
"Sister!"
When I was a child, when my parents were not at home and couldn't sleep at night, the immature singing voice that made me feel extremely warm, although I look a little dull and funny now, but it is also the sister I once admired and longed to maintain world peace with her.
Although my mother has completely neglected herself since my sister left, she has never, never hated her sister!
I just don't want to think of her because it will be sad.
Not only himself, but also his mother, if she continues to think of her, her mother will always live in the past, and she will never be able to get out of the shadow of her sister's departure.
Even if you suppress the pain in your heart and say that you don't want to serve your sister another bowl of curry, even if you grit your teeth and say that you don't need to eat if your sister dies.
But he, he still always wanted to see his sister, to see his sister who suddenly left his side since that summer.
"Mom!" The face with tears in the corners of his eyes was suddenly hugged by Honma Iren in his arms.
That warmth, that kind of warmth that makes people familiar.
She looked down at her mother, who was hugging her tightly, and then turned her head to look at her father and Congjun.
Not a delusion, not a delusion!
They, they can see themselves!!
"Mei Yizi! My Mei Yizi! It's really my Mei Yizi!"
Honma Ilyen hugged her daughter who suddenly appeared in her eyes tightly, it was not an illusion, the physical contact was real, but the first moment she hugged her, she was already sure.
It's indeed her own bud Yizi, she's back.
When I heard her 'mother' shout, my nose was sore, and the tears that were already gushing out instantly burst the embankment, and I couldn't control my inner emotions anymore, and I cried uncontrollably.
"My bud Yizi!
"Mei Yi!" Honma shuddered and threw away the newspaper, got up a few steps and then slowly squatted down, his hands trembling slowly on his head, and the moment his hand touched the real feeling, the wet mist covered the lenses of his glasses.
"Sister!" Satoshi Honma's mobile phone fell from his hand, he took a few steps in front of the face code, looked at his sister's tear-stained face, and knelt on the floor weakly with his knees in an instant.
After five years of longing, the emotions of all family members completely exploded after this moment of reunion.
After a long while, the crying gradually subsided, and Honma Irene stopped her tears and kept stroking her daughter's face with both hands.
"Mei Yizi, my Mei Yizi is back. ”
She was still repeating it.
The face shrunk his nose with sobs, looked at his mother, looked at his father, and looked at Congjun.
"Mom, Daddy, Congjun!"
"I'm back!"
"Welcome back, Mei Yizi (sister)!"
"It's really a nice curry~"
On the other side of the living room, a certain undisciplined witch ate the curry that was placed on the mourning hall and contained thoughts and feelings, and then quietly left a note, picked up a pocky again, and walked through the window to leave.
......
"Still haven't found it!"
At night in Ukiyo-e Town, the streets are full of enchanting colors, and she sighs and returns to her temporary apartment with a lunch box she bought at a convenience store.
Since the opening of the grotto a month ago, Jing has been chasing the whereabouts of the thief who stole the water spirit bead.
It has already been said that the grotto is in the midst of a constant wandering of the leylines, and she left the grotto after discovering that the water spirit bead was missing, and the grotto has traveled to another area.
Such a thing undoubtedly caused her a lot of trouble to track down.
Although I remember the breath of that damn thief and know what he looks like, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to look for in the whole of Japan.
And the great changes of this era make Jing a little unable to adapt.
Jing's concept of the human world has been stuck more than 200 years ago since the guardian fireworks fell asleep.
The carved palaces, official residences, and low-rise and dilapidated civilian houses, although there are humans wearing elaborate costumes, are more often ragged and often accompanied by hungry paupers.
But in today's era, there are high-rise buildings everywhere in the modern city, like ants black pressure on human beings everywhere, abundant and sufficient material resources, and even waste can be seen everywhere.
This earth-shaking change undoubtedly stunned the people who rushed into this strange era.
Although her ability as a big youkai allowed her to quickly integrate into this era, there were some aspects that did not improve much.
Like money.
Integrating into this era, you will inevitably be attracted by this era, and Jing is more attracted by the various delicacies of this era, but she has no money.
It's a brutal reality.
I have never learned the art of gold, and I have only lived in the human world for a short time after opening my spiritual intelligence, and the concept of money is only something that can be exchanged for various items from humans in the past.
But in the new era, the indispensable money made it difficult for her.
In the past month, I have deeply understood the importance of money.
"If I had enough money, I might be able to find the thief quickly with a bounty or something. ”
"The best result at the moment is that the thief is in Japan, and only the human thief is found in a population of 110 million, hehe!"
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Because she has no source of money, she has recently relied on odd jobs to earn her living expenses in the human world.
That's right, it's odd jobs.
Jing is a very simple monster.,Not long after opening the spiritual wisdom, she was taken by Hanabi's side.,Hanabi's teaching to her is naturally not to let her be a monster that does evil and endangers humans.。
Knowing etiquette, morality, honor and disgrace, it can be said that Jing's character is higher than that of more than 90% of human beings in the world.
Although it has terrifying power, it will never deliberately bully the weak.
