Farewell in the fourth and seventy-seventh verses of the final rounddown of the ninth volume of the hidden killing

Early in the morning. ★ The web was updated quickly, and the novel was complete ★, and they left the Yuechi house. Didn't say hello to anyone.

There is not much luggage. To be exact. She doesn't have much sense of belonging to this family, and she really doesn't know what she has to take away. I got up before dawn. Under the light, he was in a daze with a large pile of debris. In the end, it was Jiaming who helped me choose some. In fact, what she really struggled to choose between were two puppets. One is the original giant panda. The other is a lion that I bought four years ago. It's not good to carry it all on your back. As for some of the things that my mother left behind. She didn't bring any of them.

"Mommy she...... Would still like to stay here......"

So it was daybreak. They packed up small packages. It was carried by Jiaming. Kaoru carries the patched panda doll behind her back. It looks like a girl carrying a big child. She was covered with a cast on her left arm. The plaster is painted with boring graffiti. The left leg is tightly bandaged from the knee down. Wear a goose yellow dress. This somewhat nondescript outfit makes her image somewhere between a girl and a young woman. It's like a student girl carrying a package and preparing to go on a trip. It's like a young wife who got married early and is now going back to the countryside with her husband. At least the image of a patched doll on the back of no one else is truly unique among his peers.

A cool breeze blows when you go out. There was a white veil of morning mist floating in the sky. The whole old house of Yuechi is quiet. But the lights between the houses near and far indicate that most people have gotten up and started moving. Faintly from the woods could be heard the sound of early morning birdsong. A figure walked by the side of the road.

Jiaming was carrying two bags. Kaoru carries a panda on her back. The two walked along the quiet road one after the other. Someone on the side of the road turned back or stopped to look at them. There was some doubt in his eyes. But in the end, no one dared to come up and ask anything. When leaving the gate of the inner house. The two stood on the side of the road and looked inside for a moment. Quaint building in pure Japanese style. The ancient mountain forests are lush. Cover everything with that. The wall wraps around the hill towards both sides of the view.

"Summer is really a good way to beat the heat...... Don't you have to say goodbye to anyone? ”

"I said goodbye to my mother in the morning." "I'm afraid there aren't many opportunities to come back in the future."

"I'm not coming back."

Show a pure smile. Jiaming reached over and rubbed her hair. She shrunk her neck like a little girl.

"Let's go." Exhale. Jiaming turned to the front. Kaoru followed. Two figures in the morning light. Far away from the old and secluded house.

at this point in time. Yuechi Masakura probably also knew about his daughter's departure. And I understand it to some extent. No matter how much pain the girl had endured before because of this ancient family. How many detainments have there been. Now she's cut it all off.

For these two people leave without saying hello to anyone. They have whatever they have in mind. But no one dared to do anything in it. I didn't even dare to say goodbye to them again. In the hope that the relationship will be reused in the future to achieve certain goals.

Perhaps there is too much power in this silence. Kaoru's silence and struggle since childhood. to the bloody night of that night. Quietly waiting for the scene of death. Jiaming's seemingly gentle performance these days has rejected everyone. Whether it is the elders of the Tsukichi family, Tsukichi Masakura, or Tsukichi Tetsuya, who are not very sensible, can vaguely feel one thing. Suppose at this time they used to do something stupid like catching up on old things and making up for feelings. The man who had been able to retreat after killing the Emperor four years ago was afraid that he would explode immediately. Shoot everyone's heads with a gun. Cut off all unnecessary involvement for Kaoru.

The two of them waited on the side of the road to the outer house for a bus to downtown Tokyo. Then take a private bus from the city to the airport. Although the dolls still look strange. But the two look like a student couple traveling away. Kaoru holds the panda in her arms. Look at the scenery outside the window with a new and joyful gaze. For many years. There isn't much time for her to enjoy the scenery so easily. Even in those years in Jianghai. I didn't feel the same mood as I am now.

Bought a ticket. The two then waited for a while in a café near the airport. I got on the plane at ten o'clock. More than an hour later. Arrive at New Chitose Airport near Sapporo. Afterwards, we had lunch in downtown Sapporo.

The itinerary is basically set by the family. Kaoru didn't ask anything. After lunch, we started the ride again. Several turnarounds. From Sapporo by train to Otaru. Then transfer from Otaru to a nearby city. The whole afternoon passed in constant car transfers. The scenery of the North Sea is pleasant. But the most famous lavender fields begin to pass the season at the end of July. However, at this time, although I can't see the grandeur of a large sea of flowers stretching to the sky. The scenery is still quite charming. Kaoru knows a little bit about these things though. But it was the first time I saw it in person. Jiaming occasionally introduced two sentences. When a tram or car passes through a sea of flowers and trees. She leaned against the window and watched. at this point in time. The temperature in Hokkaido has already begun to drop. Jiaming found one, so he found a coat from his bag and put it on her.

Otaru is one of Hokkaido's most famous tourist cities. The ornate European-style architecture, canals, and ports are all beautiful. They stayed here for about an hour. Jia Ming chose a few lavender gadgets to take back to Ling Jing and Sha Sha. Then I took the bus again and left. At this time, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The golden yellow of the sunset over the sea. The bus winds its way along the road between the sea and the undulating lavender fields.

Although it has been tried to be as low-key as possible. However, I was accosted on the bus.

A couple next to the bus. It seems that it is also a college student who came out to travel and said a few words. After that, the boy chatted with Jiaming from time to time. Although most of the answers are Jiaming, it can be seen. The man's target was to sit next to Jiaming with the giant panda in his arms. Even with a plaster cast on his body, he looked like a sick person. Kaoru is still much cuter than the girlfriend next to this person. The woman sensed her boyfriend's purpose. There is a bit of meanness between the words. The conversation ended up being a little sullen as well.

When the bus arrives at the end of the line. It's going to be night. It was a small seaside town. Warm lights. Apparently beautiful and quiet. Got out of the car. A brackish sea breeze blew in. The faint sound of the waves could be heard. Jiaming stepped on the face. Open hands: "Here we are." ”

"The teacher is here ......"

"Say goodbye." Jiaming smiled. "Go find the place to stay. Let's take a shower. ”

They found a hotel on the side of the street not far away. After a little washing away the dust of travel. The two of them changed into casual outfits. I walked along the streets looking for the purpose of the trip. The town is not big. More than ten minutes later. A small ramen restaurant on a ramp appeared in front of them. The sign reads "Fisherman's Seafood Ramen." However, the decoration is not official. A shop in a small town like this. It's basically like a food stall in China. In the evening, it is a party for everyone to drink and have fun. When Jiaming determined the noodle restaurant in front of him. Kaoru's body finally tensed. There was a slight tremor in his hand because of nervousness. The name that Jia Ming casually mentioned yesterday. That's when it began to come to her mind.

Minamoto Yori: Chaochuang! No matter what kind of confidence you have in Jiaming. The name is placed in the world of darkness. None of them are objects to be ignored. Sensing that she instantly adjusted her body to a state of combat. Jia Ming smiled: "Relax." It's okay. Just concentrate on eating noodles. ”

Push the door in. Under the warm yellow light. It's a small shop. But it can be seen very clearly. The owner's dedication to the layout of this shop. There aren't many customers. That's five or six people. It seems that they are all regular customers. Entertaining the lady outside was a proprietress in her thirties. It's not pretty. But with a very gentle smile. It's the kind that makes people feel happy just by looking at it. There was a busy sound in the kitchen.

Jiaming and Kaoru sat at separate tables. Surveying the furnishings in the shop. Kaoru ordered a bowl of ramen that didn't affect the injury. Jiaming also ordered a few foods. The hostess went to the kitchen. After a while, Kaoru's face came up first. She tasted it with Jiaming's nod. Although he is not picky about food. But it can also be eaten at this time. The taste of the noodles is quite good. Although light. But there is strength. A feeling full of life. Even more than the craftsmanship of many celebrity chefs. There will be no inferiority.

The wine and food ordered by Jiaming immediately began to come up. Four or five things. It didn't take long. When it comes to the last one. The curtain on the kitchen door was lifted. A middle-aged man with an apron and a plate walked out. When several familiar people greeted him. Kaoru couldn't help but look over.

It was a middle-aged man who looked like a fisherman, though the notion of looking like a fisherman was a bit vague. But it is really appropriate to put it on the man in front of him. He was a burly and sturdy figure. Sunny and healthy smile. Full of life. It has a strong but not hurtful country atmosphere. Feel free to glance at it. It reminds you of the feeling of a fisherman battling the waves - there is always a part of the world like that. It's a natural look at it. He was probably the driver. He was probably a worker. He was probably a lawyer. And so on and so forth. And in front of you. It's the fisherman.

But that's the king of killers. Yuan Lai Chaochuang.

Under the warm yellow light. He sat down in front of Jiaming.

"It's been many years. I've always wanted to see ...... What the hell is this store like......"

***********************

In the following time. Kaoru kept looking nervously at the two people at the table not far away. But until the end. They didn't fight. It's just drinking and chatting like friends. I don't know what they talked about. An hour and a half later. This conversation is over. Jiaming took her out of the small noodle shop.

When walking on the road. Jiaming was a little silent. The silence is unlike anything else. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the silence four years ago. This worries her. But there's something different about it. They sat by the sea for a while. Jia Ming just whispered a word.

"That guy...... You are better than me in everything......"

It was as if he had really said goodbye to something. But something concrete. Kaoru couldn't know. For many years after that. Jiaming also didn't talk about his relationship with Yuan Lai Chaochuang. And the name Minamoto Lai Chaochuang. It finally disappeared from everyone's sight. Although it has been mentioned since then. But after all, no one can have any specific news about him. That's for another time.

The next day. Jiaming called Lingjing. Kaoru was then sent from Sapporo to the plane. In the afternoon of the same day. He flew to the headquarters of the Lyra of Darkness in Venice. Seven hours later. Takamagahara, who officially asks for help from Lyra Dark. And a message was revealed. Since the rain is half a month before the loss of contact with the dragon hall in Rome. Takamagahara, who successively sent fourteen supernatural beings to investigate. All of them are now missing. This means the power that a certain power has placed in Europe. It has swelled to an extremely frightening pace......
