Chapter 378. Distant Stars (4000 words)
Yes.
Beichuan Temple already knows the reason why Kari Kari has been trapped in the longhouse in front of her, and also knows the obsession that lingers on her body so thick that it can't be dissolved.
The reason for it.
The way to dissipate...
Kitagawa Temple has already understood everything.
Under the movement of Kazuri Kamiyo shrinking her neck, Kitagawa Temple walked to the other party and said, "You actually already know about Inagaki Jing's death, don't you?" β
Kitagawa Temple's rhetorical question made Kazuyo Kari unable to answer at all.
She opened her mouth to glance at Beichuan Temple, and then lowered her head again, but the movement of holding the song card tighter.
"Even if Shizune Inagaki didn't die, how would she know that you had turned into a spirit and had been waiting around the longhouse?"
Kitagawa Temple asked again.
Thinking about it according to general logic, as Kitagaki Temple said, even if Inagaki Shizune is not dead now, when she is almost in high school, she can't see or touch Kamidai Kari, let alone complete Kamidai Kari's obsession.
The friendship between the two of them, as early as the moment of Kari's death, was like a glass product... Shattered.
And this glassy friendship turned into transparent thorns, invisibly binding Kamiyo Kaori to this place, making her unable to extricate herself.
It is a grudge from the living, a grudge that binds the spirits so that the dead cannot truly rest in peace.
Not to mention that Shizuya Inagaki died quickly.
This also caused the chains that bound Kamiyo to become even heavier.
This time, Kamiyo Kaori finally answered.
She took a deep breath, and the childish child's voice spoke.
"Only, as long as Jing is alive, that's enough, she survived... It means that she kept the agreement..."
As she said this, Kamiyo Kari's fingers trembled slightly.
But now Shizune Inagaki is dead.
This means that-
"She did keep her promise with you. That's why she died without regrets. β
Kitagawa Temple spoke.
Yes, this is also the reason why Inagaki Shizune did not become a spirit like Kazuri Kamiyo.
She did keep the agreement with Kamidai Xiangli before she died, and she really worked hard, so she died without half a penny.
"Well, this is comforting me." Kamiyo Kari stammered.
As she spoke, her eyes did not dare to look at Beichuan Temple.
"What I'm saying is the truth." Kitagawa Temple was expressionless.
Kamiyo Kaori shook her head and wrapped the tattered red and white cotton jacket on her body tightly.
She was already thinking about how to leave.
Kitagawa Temple is indeed a good person.
She didn't want to continue to trouble the other party, and she didn't want the other party to waste time on herself who had completely lost hope.
Just as Kamiyo Kari was thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple looked at her deeply, as if seeing through her thoughts, and said, "You can't run away." β
Goo β
Kamiyo Kari's small body tensed, and she raised her eyes to look at Beichuan Temple with trepidation.
Under the street lights, her slightly transparent body trembled slightly.
"You might think I'm lying to you right now... But this is not the case. I do know about your agreement with Shizune Inagaki..."
Kitagawa Temple's eyes were full of awe-inspiring righteousness.
His voice paused, and then he said: "It's not a superficial agreement like 'one hundred people and one song', but a higher, deeper agreement." β
Under the gaze of Kamori Kamiyo, Kitagawa Temple took out a stack of letterheads from his shoulder bag.
The letter paper, which was already a little yellowed and printed with cute patterns, attracted the attention of Kazuri Kamiyo.
He handed the letter paper he had in hand to Kamiyo Kari.
Kitagawa Temple motioned for her to open it and take a look.
Kamiyo Xiangli hesitated for a moment, put the song card in her hand on the ground and placed it, and then picked up the letter paper with her two small hands.
She shifted her gaze to the contents of the letterhead under the street lights.
Just by looking at it, Kamidai Xiangli's expression was more touched.
This is Shizune Inagaki's handwriting.
She will never forget.
This round... It's a little clumsy, and it's a little crooked to look at high school students now... One by one big fonts... It is Shizune Inagaki's handwriting.
She held her breath and continued to read.
The contents of this letterhead... It was left to Kamidai Kari.
Explain to her the situation of her new home... Ask her how she's doing in heaven...
The crooked handwriting is written very seriously.
"Shizue Inagaki's mother, Inagaki seems to have told her. Write down what you want to say on a piece of paper, so that even those who have passed away can see it... And that's the result. β
Kitagawa Temple looked at the dozens of letterheads that Kazuyo Kari was holding, and shook his head gently.
Kazuri Kamiyo and Shizu Inagaki are gentle with the world, but the world is not gentle with them.
Kazuyo Kari suffered from domestic violence, and when she was about to be happy in the end, she suffered a tragic accident, and on the other side, Shizune Inagaki was unable to be friends with ordinary children because of congenital heart disease, and she couldn't even run.
Both of them felt the 'weakness' of each other, and this is why they became best friends.
The contents of the letterhead have also been seen by Kitagawa Temple.
A lot of the content above is a greeting to Kazuyo Kari, and a follow-up to tell her about a hero cartoon that the two of them once watched.
There were only a few references to her own illness, and they were quickly omitted.
Some fragments of Kitagawa Temple still remember-
'Ahh Speaking of which, I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up... Well... What about you over there? β
'Tomorrow there will be another injection... Pear in heaven should live a carefree life, right? I'll definitely do it too, just like the hero cartoon we both watched...'
'All the best! β
'Try! Come on! β
Shizune Inagaki doesn't seem to want Kaori Kamiyo, who lives in heaven, to worry about her affairs, but what is occasionally written has not been altered, and it is quickly brushed aside.
She left many, many positive words on the letterhead.
Most of them are about positive situations, and it's rare that she doesn't talk about her troubles... Except for the last...
"But actually... That's not true. Kamiyo Kari's body trembled.
She clutched the letter tightly, and pale gold tears welled up in her eyes.
Tears turned into pale gold powder, which spilled out into the air.
"Quiet... She is actually very weak in her heart, she is very afraid of what she will experience next, and she is also very worried about what she will face next. β
Kamiyo Kaori cried as she spoke, her little nose still sobbing.
Beichuan Temple, who had been silent, finally spoke:
"But even so, she has kept her promise with you."
"She never gave up hope."
"After you met her, it really gave her the courage to live."
The decisive tone of Beichuan Temple made Kazuyo Kaori a little stunned.
Kamiyo Kari looked up in confusion.
Feeling her gaze, Beichuan Temple just said:
"Look at the brown letterhead."
Hearing Kitagawa Temple's words, Kamishiro Kaori hesitantly took out the last piece of letter under the letterhead.
It's still a letter paper with cute patterns printed on it.
It doesn't look like any different from any other piece of stationery.
Kamiyo Kari stretched out her hand, opened the envelope, and then looked again, and a small voice sounded.
It was as if Inagaki was whispering softly in her ear.
"To the fragrant pears who live in heaven."
"Xiangli, how are you doing?"
"My mother told me that you had become a star in the sky. But there are so many stars in the sky, I don't know which one you are. If you receive this letter, I hope you will shine your brightest light in the night sky, and I should be able to recognize you by then. Hey... If I don't recognize you, then please forgive me. Because there really are too many stars. β
"You know what? The two of us watched the hero animation together, and it has come to an end. As for the final result - I won't tell you, you can guess for yourself. β
"Now that I've settled in Minato with my father and mother, there's no Sky Tree in sight around my new home, and there aren't many interesting parks, and the blue sky is blocked by many buildings. Oops - you can see it from heaven anyway, right? β
"I pray earnestly for you. Hope you can have a better life in heaven. If my prayer comes true, I will be really happy and happy. β
"What's going on lately? There's not much to say about the recent situation. My mom told me that my physical condition was getting better and that I could keep going. But I know that every time I go by, I always hear my mom crying to the doctor. The doctors and uncles were very kind, but the way they looked at me... You know that, right? It's that feeling of being extra depressed! We're both sensitive to this feeling! β
"My mom told me that the next surgery would be a very ordinary one. But I could clearly hear my mother's voice trembling... Same as the day you left me. β
"I really, really miss you."
"To be honest, I was really scared. The days when you weren't with me... I was really scared. You've always understood that I'm timid, not as strong as you. β
The handwriting is a little shaky at this point.
"Xiangli, I'm really scared. I don't want to die... But I made an agreement with you. Be sure to live with a positive attitude. Be sure to relax your mind. I will definitely keep this agreement! I'm going to try to live! I will definitely do my best for the next surgery! Xiangli, you can cheer for me in the sky! I'm sure I'll live with you. β
"I'm a little tired."
"Can I sleep?"
"Pear?"
The contents of the letter are hereby frozen.
Kamidai Xiangli has already burst into tears.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and wanted to say something but couldn't say it at all, so she could only cry silently.
Holding the letter paper, tears flowing.
Shizune Inagaki has always kept her promise.
Never broke his promise with her.
Even at the last moment of her life, she told Kamidai Kari.
I'll do my best.
I'll try.
Strive to cross the threshold of death.
But the merciless Heaven does not seem to sympathize with the plight of these two little girls at all, and it insists on making these two little girls suffer.
Shizune Inagaki's surgery ultimately failed.
After that, she was unable to undergo a second operation and passed away when her condition deteriorated.
"But even on the day you left, Shizune Inagaki never complained about you."
Kitagawa Temple recalled what Inagaki Xiang had told him and repeated it word by word:
It was a deep night. Same as today. The night is dotted with stars.
Inagaki lay quietly on the bed and said to Inagaki incense:
"Don't cry. Mom... I just turned into a star and went to be a companion with fragrant pears. β
"There are so many stars in the sky... Mom... You should be able to find me and Fragrant Pear right? β
Yes...
Lying on the hospital bed, Inagaki quietly looked at the brightest star in the night sky and muttered to himself:
"Xiangli, I've really worked hard, I've worked hard. Thank you. β
"Agreed... I complied. β
Yes...
Shizune Inagaki never died in fear.
She accepted the results from the start.
Because she's already tried. Since I have worked hard in life, I have no regrets.
"If you want to cry, just cry."
Beichuan Temple half-squatted down, stretched out his hand and rubbed Kazuhiro Kari's head, and his voice softened: "If you hold everything in your heart, it will always be suffocated." β
And hearing this consolation from Kitagawa Temple, Kazuyo Kari finally couldn't hold back her crying.
She tugged at the neckline of Kitagawa Temple and cried hoarsely.
Behind the two.
The longhouse of Inagaki is silent.
There wasn't a single pedestrian around.
The stars twinkle in the sky.
There's a... Exceptionally bright.
......
Kamiyo Kari cried for a long time.
But her cry could not be heard by ordinary people.
She just tugged at the neckline of Beichuan Temple, and the pale gold tears turned into gold dust.
It's been a long, long time.
Kamidai Xiangli stopped crying.
She looked at Beichuan Temple, but still couldn't calm down her emotions.
"Big, big brother..."
"You don't have to thank me." Kitagami Temple waved his hand: "You just need to know that before Inagaki Jing passed away, she didn't die with negative emotions such as resentment and fear. She left reminiscing about the fond memories of being with you. As she said, she has kept her promise. β
Yes, Shizue Inagaki and Kamiyo Kari's agreement was not a game of 100 people at the beginning, but Kazuyo Kari hoped that she would be able to meet the operation with a completely healthy mentality and face the enemy of death with no regrets.
Even if Inagaki failed in the end. But she still held on to the agreement between the two.
It can only be said that the damn naΓ―ve likes to toss these two unfortunate little girls.
"I know." Kamiyo Kaori nodded lightly: "But I still have to thank the big brother, if there is no big brother... I can't put these... Completely put it down. β
She looked up at Kitagawa Temple.
"Thank you, Big Brother Kitagawa."
Kitagawa Temple bows slightly.
Kamiyo Kari gently stroked the song card in her hand, and finally handed it to Kitagawa Temple: "Please accept this." Big brother. β
Kitagawa Temple cherished it.
Seeing that Beichuan Temple accepted the song card, Kamidai Xiangli gradually rose with a pale golden airflow.
The persistent soul is gradually liberated... Fly...
There was no expression on Kitagawa Temple's face.
But Kari, who was gradually disappearing, noticed it.
Soul thoughts kept pulling away from the body.
She also stretched out her hand and touched the face of Beichuan Temple.
"Big brother... Really a very gentle person. β
"If you can... The fragrant pear of the next life... I want to be the daughter of my big brother..."
β... Good. β
Kitagawa Temple pinched Kamiyo Kari's palm, nodded vigorously, and solemnly promised.
He watched the other man leave.
Watching the pale gold air flow cut through the sky...
She really seems to have become a star.
High in the sky.
