Throughout Golden Week, the biggest change for Kiryu and Ma was that they gained ten pounds of weight.

This is also something that can't be helped, he can't do too strenuous exercise while lying down, and he is fed by the girls every day.

Honami brings a variety of delicacies from the mountains and the sea all day long, and Tamamo has a box of Japanese sweets every day.

Finally, Mikako carries all kinds of strange things every day, all of which are "good for patients" that her mother heard from somewhere, similar to home remedies.

Not only did he get fat with the horse, but Chiyoko packed the leftovers from the horse every day and brought it home, and he also followed the light and plumped up.

Kazuma felt that this was not possible, so after walking no longer painful, he insisted on walking around the hospital every day to burn his calories.

Several girls took turns to accompany Kazuma around the hospital, and gradually the whole hospital began to spread the rumor that Young Master Kiryu in the VIP ward had brought a bunch of maids.

By the way, Hema can live in a VIP ward, which is the face of the Metropolitan Police Department, and he can't afford to pay for it.

Japan's medical insurance can't allow ordinary people to live in VIP wards, not to mention that the Kiryu family has long begun to decline, and the brother and sister have no medical insurance at all.

Not to mention medical insurance, the parents of the Kiryu siblings were hung up in an accident, and the money from the insurance company was not enough for the funeral - because the Kiryu family bought the lowest kind of insurance.

The reporters came to the hospital many times to harass Kiryu as they did in Osaka, but apparently someone had greeted them, so the reporters were all gossiping, and no one cared about what really happened that night.

The Kandagawa bombing seems to have ended with the official announcement of the police: the death of the URB lead singer in the criminal department has made radical fans hold a grudge against the police.

As for why radical fans have C4 and why they have guns, the police's explanation is that this radical fan is a member of Extreme Dao.

Jidao is also miserable, and he has a pot for some reason.

But in another twenty years, Japan's big brother Jidao will evolve to the form of sending his younger brother to visit a doujin exhibition such as a festival to help him buy a book, so this wave is a rehearsal in advance?

In short, this Golden Week, all the people of Japan are paying attention to Kiryu and Ma-sensei and his female apprentices at eight o'clock in the romance drama, and every morning Amo brings a new newspaper, and Kazuma goes directly to the entertainment section to see what the reporters make up again.

Kazuma was quite happy to watch.

In particular, the reporters' photography skills are very good, and the girls are very good-looking.

On the last day of Golden Week, unexpected visitors visited Wama.

**

That afternoon, when Kazuma heard a knock on the door, he was reading the book "The Outer Selection of Osen" that Aramaki had left in his hospital room before.

"Come in." He closed his book and looked up at the door.

Tamamo, who was also reading, also raised her head and looked in the same direction.

Fang Shan Zhishi and the man who was probably her agent carried the flowers into the room.

Tamamo put down Stephen King's work in his hand and stood up to take the flower.

"You may be seated." After saying that, Tamamo went to arrange flowers.

"Kiryu-sensei, I've come to see you." Fang Shan Zhishi bowed to Kazuma as he spoke, and after he nodded, he sat down on the chair that Yuzao had just pointed to.

He Ma probably guessed why Fang Shan Zhishi came over, and watched the entertainment version with Ma Jing these days? I didn't see Fang Shan Zhishi's name once.

Does this mean that she is either hidden in the snow? Or are you still taking jobs though? But it's no different from being hidden in the snow.

After all, "Tokyo Express" did not meet the expectations of Taiying Pictures at all? It was all thanks to the martial arts drama with the horse as the martial arts commander to save some of the situation.

The big guys above won't take the blame for their decision-making mistakes? It's good to be able to bow, Fang Shan Zhishi was probably pushed out to take the blame.

Now that he knew why Fang Shan knew why he came, Hema decided to break it directly, saving her from wasting time in twists and turns: "Are you okay lately?" I don't have any news from you in the entertainment version. ”

As he spoke, he raised the newspaper in his hand.

Fang Shan Zhishi showed an embarrassed smile: "Uh...... I haven't filmed for half a year? The ones that received were all small variety shows or radio announcements. ”

Kazuma nodded.

The actress's youth is precious, no injuries or any other reason? Not filming for half a year is indeed a bad career.

To know that this is 1981? The production of film and television dramas and movies has not yet entered the era of heavy industrialization - now there is only Hollywood in heavy industry films.

Japan or Hong Kong? Now it only takes a few months to make a movie, and the director who shoots it quickly can even ship it in a few weeks.

He Ma looked at Fang Shan Zhishi: "Why don't you go to the troupe to perform a stage play?" Accumulate qualifications. ”

And the advice given by the horse can only be said to be decent. On the Japanese side, is it a plus for an actor to have experience in stage plays? Therefore, many people will turn to stage plays when they become famous.

Fang Shan Zhishi smiled bitterly: "I have also thought about this, but it is not easy to intensify the group?" The big troupe didn't want me, and the small troupe company didn't let me go, saying that it would lose its value. ”

Hema nodded: "So, Miss Fangshan Zhishi, what do you want me to do for you?" ”

Fang Shan Zhishi seemed to be a little confused by Kazuma's straightforward question.

"This ...... I ......"

At this time, Jinguji Yuzao spoke: "If Miss Fang Shan only wants to join the troupe and has no requirements for the role, I can recommend it to some troupes." After all, our family's Japanese sweets are quite popular with traditional theater troupes. ”

Kazuma looked at Tamamo and wondered if it was really just the popularity of Japanese sweets?

Takamo noticed Kazuma's gaze and smiled slightly.

Fang Shan Zhishi bit her lip, obviously she didn't come this time to get the troupe's recommendation, she looked at Hema, and said with determination: "I see that the entertainment news said that you wrote several songs for an underground singer......

He Ma raised his eyebrows, he had been watching the entertainment version for the past few days, and he didn't remember that the news had said so, so he interrupted Fang Shan Zhishi: "Which newspaper?" What version is it? I keep the newspaper these days......"

Shigeru directly moved the newspaper rack in the hospital's patient room, which was divided into categories of the main newspapers that could be bought in Tokyo.

The main thing is that the means of entertainment are too single now, there is no network, no mobile phone, only Atari on game consoles, and horses can only read newspapers in addition to watching TV.

As soon as Fang Shan Zhishi saw the newspaper shelf, he hesitated for a moment, and changed his words: "A friend of mine in the music industry said it." ”

"What a friend in the music industry, you have time to introduce me to him." And the horse shrugged, "However, the news is true. I did write a few songs for Kitagawa Shauri. ”

"Well, Kiryu-sensei......"

"But she's never sung in public, she hasn't even sung when she's in an underground band."

Fang Shan Zhishi was stunned, she wouldn't fail to hear what He Ma meant.

But she didn't give up, and changed the question: "Why can't I do it in Beichuan Shaxu?" ”

"You can't sing as well as hers." Kazuma replied bluntly, "When I met the kind of voice that was kissed by an angel, I naturally wanted to write a song for her." ”

Actually, Kazuma just wanted to use the song to try to change the fate of Kitagawa Shaxu or something.

No one will believe this kind of thing when it comes out - someone who is not human will believe it.

Fang Shan Zhishi bit his lip: "This ...... Kiryu-sensei, please help me, I'm willing to do anything. ”

After saying that, she bowed to Kazuma, and the agent who had been standing behind her also bent over ninety degrees.

Kazuma glanced at Tamamo, who lowered his gaze with a "you smacked garlic" expression.

Kazuma: "I can't make any promises. However, I have a friend working on a shocking animation, are you interested in voice acting? ”

"Huh?" Fang Shan was shocked, "I'...... Dub? ”

Kazuma understands her surprise, the voice actor has not been idolized in this year, and the sweet-looking beautiful girl in the entertainment industry will not develop in the direction of voice actor.

"Yes, dubbing. If the character is popular, it will be popular even with dubbing, and then I'll make a character song for your character in the animation. ”

For example, "Have You Ever Remembered Love" or something, and Ma thought to himself, but in the cyberpunk samurai story, there is a song "Have You Ever Remember Love", it seems to be - eh, it seems to be quite emotional?

The samurai of cyberpunk, because of mechanization, gradually lost the hearts of human beings, and then at this time, the former lover came to a song "Have You Ever Remembered Love".

Isn't this indiscriminate killing!

He Ma was immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly saw Yuzao winking at him, and hurriedly turned his attention to Fang Shan Zhishi, only to see that Fang Shan Zhishi's expression had become clear.

"Okay," she said back to her youthful girlish feeling, "then I'll give it a try." ”

Hema understood, this girl was just observing her expression, and through her expression, she could see that she had exploded into creative enthusiasm, so she decided to bet her future on the inspiration that the "talented musician" had just burst out.

Kazuma gasped, sometimes he really felt that the girls were so powerful.

Kazuma: "Then, I'll give you a letter of introduction, and you can take it to them." But now that they've just set up their team, I don't know if they have a sound supervisor......"

Kazuma muttered in his heart while talking: Maybe Anno, and Okada, the two of them patronized brainstorming and forgot to recruit people.

Artists are like this, they don't care about inspiration when it comes.

"I'll go." Fang Shan Zhishi said to He Ma energetically, and when he first entered the door, he was like two people, "By the way, the recommendation of the troupe, I really still want it." ”

Hema is speechless, and Ma doesn't hate this greedy style, after all, his sister is also greedy.

However, it is Tamamo that is recommended, so Kazuma looks at Tamamo, which means "this is up to you".

"Then after I finish writing the recommendation letter, I will send it to your firm, agent Sang, so that I can leave a business card?" Tamamo speaks honorifics very skillfully.

The agent hurriedly came up and handed over the business card with a smile.

Tamamo accepted the business card and asked, "Tea ...... Do you still want to brew? ”

"No, we'll go." Fang Shan Zhishi hurriedly stood up as he spoke, "I wish Mr. Kiryu a speedy recovery." ”

He Ma nodded: "I will borrow your auspicious words." ”

Then Fang Shan Zhishi and the agent left, and the agent did not forget to turn around and close the door when he went out.

After Tamamo went over to confirm that the door was closed, he came back to look at Kazuma and said with a smile, "This girl came here with the determination to open her business." ”

"I see. The showbiz is really cruel to girls who can't be famous. ”

"Reminds me of Yoshiwara from the past."

"You've also been a geisha?" When asked by Kazuma, when it comes to Yoshiwara, it is natural to think of geisha.

"No, I've been a mom-san." Tamamo said, "Most of the time, the girls go to sing and dance, and kill the benefactors, and I play the shamisen next to me." ”

"That's right."

Tamamo continued, "The paper door behind me is a trapplate door, and it hides the heart stick (bodyguard) in the store, and if a customer doesn't follow the rules, I deliberately break a string, and the rogue I hired will come out from behind the trappress door." ”

Kazuma: "Ah, this, this......"

"Usually a drifter doesn't hack a guest to death, at most he will lose his finger or something. But again, the guy who committed the crime was the evil young man of the nearby feudal lord's family, so he tangled up a large number of samurai and cut it in, and the ronin Sang Li was defeated in the battle, and he was killed by several stabs in his body. ”

And Ma swallowed: "And then? ”

Then the Mito Yellow Gate, which was passing by, showed his waist card.

"You give me about the same!"

Tamamo laughed, then looked at Kazuma: "You believe it?" ”

"Mito Yellow Gate believed before he came out." Kazuma sighed, "I actually believe the fox's words...... Back then, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang believed the fox's words, and the Great Chu Xing Chen Sheng Wang rebelled, and finally picked peaches for people. ”

Tamamo looked at Kazuma in surprise: "How do you know that I did it?" ”

"What did you do!"

"Lie to you, I'm a local monster, I haven't been to China."

And Ma Hu looked at Yuzao suspiciously.

This bit is too high, it's terrible.

Tamamo smiled slightly: "I just made use of a lot of the results of modern psychology." ”

Kazuma: "You say yes, that's it." ”

"After studying modern psychology with horses, you can also use this kind of speech freely, you must be able to."

Kazuma thought to himself that when I could use these proficiently, I would probably get the entry "Demon Fox's Deception".

However, it is also an entry for the main deception scheme, and Ma wants to "mirror the moon", which means that "I will stand in the sky", which is more emotional.

Tamamo returned to the original topic: "I did work as a mother in Yoshiwara for a while, but no one dared to be rough in my shop. ”

"That's right, you still have the power back then."

"Yes, the girls in my shop won't even be handed down by the benefactors, just sing and dance. The girls who were lucky to get into my shop were lucky, but I wasn't the only one in Yoshiwara. Tamamo's expression became gentle and sad, "Whether it's the war era or the Heian era, the fate of girls is not very good."

"It makes me sad to see them consume their youth, grow old in fear, and pin all their hopes on finding the benefactor who will redeem her."

Kazuma looked at Tamamo and suddenly remembered a song he liked very much in his previous life.

The song is also about geisha, and it's called "Yoshiwara Lamentation".

Kazuma was very impressed with that song, could hum a rough idea, and knew the Chinese translation.

Now he knows Japanese, and his Mandarin ability has improved greatly after Tamamo's hell training in the past year, and now combined with the memories of his previous life, he can actually cover up the words without leaving ten.

So he and Ma beat the beat with their hands on the edge of the hospital bed and began to hum.

Tamamo looks at Kazuma in surprise at first, then laughs at Kazuma's lame singing skills, but finally her expression becomes solemn.

However, when Kazuma sang a little subtle part of the song, Tamamo still laughed: "Is it this kind of song?" ”

"Where is it! What a literary and artistic way this is written! He Ma retorted, "Even if it's a *song, it's also a literary *song." ”

"However, you rhyme a lot wrong, and in many places the rhyme is not quite right. I'll change the word—ah, I didn't bring a shamisen. Another day, Kazuma you won't look back and forget this song, right? ”

Kazuma: "Of course not. But I thought about it, and it wasn't enough to just sigh at the sadness of the fate of those girls, and I had to use this song to change all this.

"Forward, forward, the responsibility of the soldier is heavy, the grievances of women are deep, in ancient times, Hua Mulan went to the army for her father, and now there is a women's army carrying guns for the people......"

Tamamo first said, "Where did you learn this song?" and then clapped her hands.

The more he sings, the happier he becomes, this is the music he engraves in his soul.

The music doesn't have a rock form, but it perfectly embodies the spirit of rock and roll, as long as it is accompanied by a bass and a drum kit.

After singing a song, Tamamo looked at Kazuma: "You...... It was so surprising to me. I can't read you at all, and Ma Jun. ”

"Because I'm cunning." And the horse said, "But, it seems to me that you are just as cunning." ”

Tamamo smiled, and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door.

Together with Ma and Tamamo, he turned his head to look at the door.

Just as Officer Shiratori opened the door and came in.

"The time for the memorial service has been set." Akira Shiratori said, "On May 14th, how is Kiryu-kun's body recovering?" ”

Kazuma exerts force directly on his waist and sits up by himself against the pain.

"See, maybe you won't be able to use a wheelchair in a week."

Shiratori pouted: "Your recovery power is really amazing, when I came up, I heard the nurses say, you can already take your sister around to sunbathe?" ”

"yes. Rehabilitation. I've gained ten pounds of weight, and if I don't exercise, I'm really going to be a ball. ”

"Don't worry, when you become a criminal policeman, you will be so busy that you can't gain weight at all if you eat desperately." Shiratori said, closing the door as he spoke.

Tamamo stood up and gave him a seat.

"Thank you."

After Shiratori Akira sat down, he and Ma asked first: "Shiratori Police Department, it looks like something good is happening." ”

Shiratori smiled: "Yes, there is news that the True Fist Association and the Fushou Gang are going to start peace talks." Presumably, both sides found that the fire with the other side and the losses were too great, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Kazuma thought that it was really here, and then Japan Yakuza would suffer.

If you follow the trend of the previous life, the real fist will and the Fushou gang will divide the river in Tokyo, divide Tokyo into two, one side yours and one side mine, and then each sweep the Japanese extreme road in their own territory.

In the end, Nippon Gokudo had to call the police, and in the end, under the pressure of the police, Nippon Gokudo reached an agreement with the two.

Akira Shiratori continued, "As long as the Kanto United side doesn't want to take revenge, then peace will return to Tokyo again. ”

And Ma thought to himself that you were wrong about the White Bird Detective, peace is only between the True Fist Club and the Fushou Gang, and they will have a tacit understanding to fight the Japanese Extreme Road together.

But he didn't talk much, so let's make the White Bird Detective happy for a while.

Akira Shiratori continued, "Then I can take a vacation for the first time in a long time. Because of all this, I was so busy for the first five months of this year that I barely had time to go home, and if I didn't take time off to spend time with my family, my wife might really fall in love with the laundry owner like the soap opera at midday. ”

And the horse laughed.

Kazuma knows the stalk of "the owner of the laundry", or because of the manga "Crayon Shin-chan".

In the comics, as long as Xiaoxin's mother doesn't want Xiaoxin to watch the dynamic Superman cartoon and changes the channel, the next station is likely to be a soap opera at noon.

And it often happens to be the plot of cheating, where the man forcibly hugs the woman: "Mrs., I love you!" "No, laundry owner, no!"

While Kazuma and Shiratori were laughing, Jinguji Tamamo quietly left the room with a hot water kettle.

Shiratori finished laughing and sighed: "Calculate the time, when you join the Metropolitan Police Department, I will retire in two years, maybe you will be assigned to me." ”

"Are you going to do it for so long?" And Ma was surprised.

"What are you talking about, I don't have many gray hairs on my head, do you? Of course, the main reason is that the retirement age will be changed to 65 years old. ”

Kazuma: "Haven't you been retiring at the age of 65?" ”

"Which world is that Japan?" Shiratori asked rhetorically.

And the horse was speechless for a while.

He actually doesn't know when Japan began to retire at 65 in his previous life.

Shiratori didn't pay much attention to the strange statement of Hema, and continued to complain: "I've worked hard for most of my life, and I think that it will be over in another year, and I can enjoy Qingfu, snap, the rules have changed, and I will go to class for five more years." ”

He Ma could only put on a listening look, he couldn't interject on this topic, and it was not good to talk nonsense.

Shiratori shrugged: "Forget it, I won't tell you this." I have two children who are also in college, and they are also in the kendo club, so I will encounter a competition in the future, so I will be lighter. ”

"Isn't it common to ask for mercy?" And the horse asked rhetorically.

Shiratori shrugged.

Kazuma suddenly remembered a question, so he asked, "You can actually provide for two children to go to college at the same time?" ”

Shiratori Akira smiled at Kazuma and changed the subject directly: "When Jinguji comes back, I will ask her which shrine it is better to go to for her child to marry." ”

Jinguji just pushed the door in at this time, so he asked in place of Shiratori: "Tamamo, Shiratori Police Department wants to ask where to ask for marriage." ”

"Is it for Childe or for Miss?" Tamamo asked rhetorically.

"Childe." Akira Shiratori said.

"I know a very good little shrine, I'll write you the address later." Tamamo said.

He Ma teased: "Does the fox not care about the relationship? ”

"It doesn't matter, it's a good harvest and a good birth." Tamamo glanced at Kazuma, "What, you want it?" ”

And the horse shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I don't." I'm a man. ”

"It's not impossible." Tamamo laughed.

Shiratori looked back and forth at the two of them suspiciously: "What are you talking about?" Fox? Give birth...... Well? Has it come to this point? At least finish college first, right? ”

He Ma waved his hand: "You misunderstood, we are discussing folklore. Tamamo is a member of the Todai New Strange Tales Workshop, and many of her graduates have become folklorists and are investigating folklore all over Japan. ”

He may also work part-time to hit an octopus.

Shiratori raised his eyebrows: "How unthinkable is it that I went to study folklore when I went to Tokyo University?" Obviously, you can become a reserve wherever you go. ”

Kazuma: "Everyone has their own ambitions. ”

As he spoke, Jinguji Tamamo had already written the address of the shrine on sticky paper and handed it to the Shiratori Police Department.

The police department glanced at the address on the paper, apparently remembering it, and then carefully folded the paper and clipped it into the police manual.

Then he picked up the police manual and stood up: "Then, I won't bother the two." I wish you a speedy recovery, Kiryu-kun. I'm going to go next door to see Aramaki-kun. ”

He waved his hand and watched the Shiratori police department leave.

Aramaki was injured less than Kazuma, but now Aramaki is still limping and on crutches, and Kazuma is already jumping around - it's a stomach thief.

Kazuma couldn't help but look at the amulet hanging at the head of his bed again.

I always feel that the talisman that Tamamo has repeatedly climbed a hundred times to find is really effective.

Kazuma looked at Tamamo again and saw that she had sat down again and picked up the book.

She really likes to read, plus the standard braids of literary girls - it's a pity that her chest muscles are more exaggerated, which doesn't meet the standard of literary girls.

Kazuma looked at Tamamo wantonly, and she looked at her as if she was completely unaware, concentrating on reading.

Kazuma could only pick up the "Selected Works of Ou Senwai" and start reading.

I have to wait seven days before I can leave the hospital......

**

Seven days later, Kazuma was still pushed in a wheelchair by Akira Shiratori to the memorial service venue.

It's not that Kazuma's injuries have worsened, he is actually able to move normally now, and although the pain is still there, it can be ignored.

Even the doctor was amazed at the speed of Kazuma's recovery, but he only treated it as if Kazuma's physical fitness was different from ordinary people.

The doctor seems to be well-informed and has a lot of experience.

The reason why Kazuma still came in a wheelchair was requested by the Metropolitan Police Department, thinking that it would be more visual.

The whole venue was set up solemnly, reminding Kazuma of the scene in "Infernal Affairs".

It's just that it's indoors.

Kazuma wears a black suit given to him by Honami, with a white flower pinned to his chest.

It seems to be a suit ordered by Honami's brother, and he lent it to Wama without wearing it.

In the future, Hema will have to buy these things by himself, which will be expensive to death.

Chiyoko also came over as a family member, and the other apprentices of Kazuma were not invited.

As a student, Chiyoko's school uniform is a formal attire, so she wears a Sailor Uniform of a Koshikawa woman with a white flower pinned to her chest.

When Kazuma first entered, the large space was filled with whispers, and the whole room fell silent as the ceremony began.

You can hear the rustling of rain outside the window.

This year's rainy season seems to have come earlier than usual.

The big names began to enter.

Shiratori Akira whispered to Kazuma: "At the forefront is the inspection supervisor of the Fengguo Police, who is now the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department. ”

Kazuma squinted at the man.

There are only 20 police inspectors in Japan, and the police headquarters in nine specially designated cities outside of Tokyo are the top police officers at the level of the head of the headquarters. And at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it is the deputy director.

From these 20 people, the Superintendent of Police and the Chief of the National Police Agency will be born.

Kazuma looked at the man and licked his lips slightly.

That was the last step to the Superintendent of Police.

Kazuma felt the Shiratori Police Department gently pinch his shoulder.

The Shiratori Police Department is aware of Kazuma's ambitions.

No, Wama has spoken out about his ambitions in front of so many people in the Geumyama group, and probably all the Gokudo and high-level police in Tokyo have received the news.

Sure enough, the Fengguo Police Inspector looked directly at Hema.

Kazuma looked at the entry above his head.

Night Sword God

There are no instructions.

But Kazuma knows this monster, because he just won the platinum trophy in "Nioh 2" before he crossed over, and there is a boss in it that is the night sword god.

It was a serpent god with horns, and it was a god of calamity.

Judging by the entry alone, this is not a good person.

As for this kendo school and level, it's a bit far away, plus the entry is very long and the words are very small, and the horse can't read clearly.

Kazuma turned his attention to the face again.

The man's expression was flawless, cold as a rock.

Also, snakes are cold-blooded.

Kazuma looked at him for a few seconds, and then the other looked away.

He walked straight to the rostrum and sat down, and then nodded to Detective Kato, who was in charge of presiding.

And so the memorial service began.

The next process was very familiar with the horse, all kinds of speeches, and then everyone mourned in silence.

Hema originally thought that he had his own link, but it turned out that there was no such thing at all, so he directly fast-forwarded to the monk to recite the scriptures, and recited for a whole hour.

Kazuma was extremely glad that he came in a wheelchair, otherwise standing for an hour would have been enough to choke.

In the end, everyone lined up to pluck the flowers on their chests and threw them into the box in front of the spirit card.

Shiratori pushed Wama's wheelchair and followed the team all the way to the box.

And the horse plucked the flower, took a deep breath, and threw it out—

At this moment, he saw an illusion, he was sitting in the middle of the flower field on the other side, and as far as his eye could see, there was a sea of bright red flowers.

In the distance, a figure stood in a row, silently looking at the horse.

At this moment, Kazuma understood.

The guy who was shot and fell into the water didn't die, these dead souls were hungry for revenge.

The hallucinations disappeared instantly, and Kazuma was still in a wheelchair, being pushed out of the box by Shiratori. It was just an illusion, an outward manifestation of inner thoughts.

In reality, there is no sea of flowers, and there are no souls waiting for the other side to return.

Behind Kazuma, Chiyoko was plucking the white flowers, throwing them into the box, and landing on top of the layers of white flowers.
