009. You can't eat this
!!!
Sato immediately looked at Xu Lun's finger.
There is nothing there.
There were no female ghosts in the empty seats.
There was only a bowl of egg yolk like one's own, which had been punctured and sprinkled with seaweed.
The chopsticks are placed flat on the mouth of the bowl, which is quite solemn.
I didn't think there was any picture, but when Xu Lun said this, Sato Yu immediately felt creepy.
Junko Sato also looked over, the focus of her gaze diverging, a little confused.
"Boss, don't scare our family with jokes."
Immediately, the mother smiled and patted Xu Lun's arm.
“...... Hara、Was it scary? ”
Sato Higaku was stunned and kept peeking in the direction of the bowl of fried egg tonkatsu rice bowl.
"Well, because I saw that your atmosphere was a little tense, I wanted to make a joke and spice it up."
Xu Lun replied frankly.
This made the mother and daughter feel a little relieved.
"I hate it."
Although this boss is very handsome, his personality seems to be a bit bad.
Sato Yu thought so, and glanced at the bowl of fried pork cutlet rice bowl that no one had eaten.
Speaking of which, could it be that the boss deliberately put a bowl here in order to scare himself?
She decided not to dwell on it.
Sato Kusakusa put down his chopsticks, lifted his instrument case containing the trumpet, opened the paper door with his mother, and left the late-night cafeteria.
"Poor hospitality."
Xu Lun waved his hand lightly, and then looked to the side, where the empty bowl of fried egg fried pork cutlet rice was located.
On the seat, indeed, sat a woman.
She was just as Xu Lun described, wearing an old-fashioned ankle-length sailor suit, a red scarf, long hair and a shawl, emaciated, and a tear mole under her left eye.
She looked at the fried pork cutlet rice bowl in front of her, and was silent for a long time before she spoke, not the poignant ghostly voice that Sato Higaku imagined, but the gentle tone of voice like Yamato Nadeshiko.
"Before eating the fried egg tonkatsu bowl, it will be better to puncture the egg yolk and sprinkle a little seaweed."
She stared at the bowl of rice bowl, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Are you a relative of Sato Higaku?"
Xu Lun glanced at the classical-style girl, there was no doubt that this was a spirit body.
But it's not the terrifying ghost in the amusement park in Nakano, it's a very ordinary, ubiquitous soul.
Such a soul will remain for a period of time after death, and if there is no resentment in life and it is not affected by the strange, then it will quickly dissipate.
Since Sato Yu stepped into the late-night cafeteria today, this spirit has been following her, but there was no abnormality before, and Sato Yu was beside her, so Xu Lun did not act rashly.
But for the sake of insurance, Xu Lun still poked out his tentacles from under his clothes.
After all, Xu Lun is not a stooge of the evil god, and he will not do such a common sense act as showing his thick and long tentacles in front of a high school girl and a beautiful wife.
When Sato Yu casually recounted his recent experience of encountering supernatural events.
When Sato Kushimi feasted on the tonkatsu in the bowl.
When Sato Higaku and Junko Sato were talking to their mother and daughter.
These tentacles are obediently lurking under the table, ready to kill the spirits in front of them with a single blow.
As a soul slayer, it only makes sense that he would be ready to destroy the weird.
"Well, I'm Junko's mother."
“?”
A question mark appeared on Xu Lun's tentacles.
He glanced at the "girl" again.
This style of dressing is indeed a popular style decades ago, and she is indeed a little similar to Junko Sato and Sato Hichi.
However, according to the calculation of time, Junko Sato's mother should have passed away for a long time.
After a person dies, the spirit will remain in the world for a moment after death, and the spirit in front of Xu Lun looks like she is only a teenager, in other words, she died early when she was a teenager, if it is really Junko Sato's mother, then it means that she should have been dead for decades.
It is rare for a spirit that has remained in the world for decades without mutating.
“...... Maybe it's delicious, no, I'm talking about tonkatsu rice. ”
Xu Lun pressed the saliva that surged up his throat because of his appetite, and slowly retracted his tentacles.
How do you feel that the picture just now is a bit inappropriate, it's simply the scene where the big demon king of the ghost beast is about to do [beep--] on the defenseless girl.
"That being said, Junko hasn't actually seen me either."
The girl said with a smile on her face.
"Katsuya-kun and I fell in love in high school, got married after graduation, and I became pregnant with Junko, although the doctor said at the time that with my body, if I wanted to give birth to a child, it might be very dangerous, but I still wanted this child to come into this world."
"As you see now, I died after giving birth to Junko, and she was raised by Katsuya-kun."
She talks about her life and death, as if she were talking about someone else's topic.
"You have an obsession in your heart and can't become a Buddha?"
Xu Lun knew that monks would go beyond the realm and let the undead go to Elysium, but he was not a monk and didn't understand this.
Most of the spirits he encountered were eaten up and wiped clean, and for Xu Lun, this was his way of surpassing the undead.
Now it's a bit of a hassle when you encounter something that you can't eat directly.
Xu Sang, this can't be eaten, he can already imagine the tone in which Sakamoto and Ma said this.
"Perhaps."
The girl tried to reach for the chopsticks, but passed through them.
"When I died, the person I was most worried about in addition to Katsuya-kun, that is, Junko, I followed them back to my home, just silently watching them, accompanying them, I knew that as long as I could let go, then I would probably be able to become a Buddha."
"Tomorrow will be fine, just one more day of watching them, I thought."
"I watched Katsuya-kun, who didn't know anything, change Junko's diaper and sing a lame lullaby to lull her to sleep, and I would hum along with it."
"When Junko was bullied in school, I would stare at the boy who bullied her and blow hard."
"When Junko is wronged at work and hides in the toilet alone and cries, I will also be by her side."
"When Yu was born, I was in the hospital ward, cheering for Junko, and it was great that the mother and daughter were safe."
"It's great to be able to grow up healthy."
"After that, I watched over her as before, and accompanied her growth."
"Master Spirit, if I do this, I will cause trouble to others."
"But I'm just, I just, I just want to take care of them like a mother......"
"Even if they don't know about these things for the rest of their lives."
"Even though, Junko will resent me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother."
"Even if I'm treated like a ghost......"
She whispered, raising her eyes slightly.
"Master Spirit, just give me a little more time, just a little time, I've been practicing hard to play during this time, I've been working hard for the competition, I want to see her compete, I want to see her get a gold prize."
Hearing this, Xu Lun smiled.
"I don't know how to make the dead become a Buddha, and it may take a while to learn, so let's go."
He waved his hand.
The girl was a little moved, she got up and bowed solemnly.
Then, he disappeared into thin air, presumably returning to his loved ones.
Xu Lun put Sato's chopsticks into the pool, and heard a wind chime again.
Someone pushed open the paper door.
He looked back.
It's Junko Sato.
