Chapter 34: Running

"Come, do you want candy? Sister, there's sugar here. Natsuki Igarashi pulled out a piece of candy from her body and wanted to bribe the little boy who was hiding behind the girl.

However, the little boy remained unmoved behind the girl.

"I'm sorry, but my brother is a little scared." The girl on the hospital bed explained with some embarrassment.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, kid, look how cute he is, hahaha." Natsuki Igarashi withdrew the candy in her hand with some embarrassment.

"Speaking of which, what do you have in my ward?" The girl looked at Natsuki Igarashi and Natsuki and asked the question.

Suddenly, Natsuki Igarashi, who was a little embarrassed just now, was even more embarrassed.

"Well, if I say we're here... Natsuki Igarashi just wanted to put "to find the mysterious event, do you believe it?" After saying this, Natsuki suddenly reached out and covered Natsuki Igarashi's mouth, preventing her from continuing.

"Sorry, we just went to the wrong room, so let's leave." Natsuki smiled at the girl on the hospital bed and the yukata uncle next to the bed.

Then he dragged Natsuki Igarashi towards the outside of the ward.

"Hey, what are you doing, I can go by myself." Natsuki Igarashi, who was dragged away, said dissatisfied.

"Are you leaving? Speaking of which, the café last time was really good, especially the boss also provided food that I liked the most, and I will go there next time I have the opportunity, maybe I can meet you again. Uncle Yukata looked at the two people who had already walked to the door and said with a smile.

"Then next time you go, uncle, remember to try the omelet rice made by Sister Asuka, it's delicious." Natsuki Igarashi's eyes lit up, and he began to sell them by the way.

"I remember, little girl." Uncle Yukata put his hands in the wide sleeves of the yukata and nodded lightly with an elegant expression.

In this way, Natsuki and Natsuki Igarashi left the ward.

Not far from the ward, Natsuki Igarashi sighed.

"The subtle feeling that it's neither good nor bad, is it? Why do you have this subtle feeling when you meet an uncle you've met before? Natsuki Igarashi looked incomprehensible.

"Maybe it's because I'm not sure if he'll be a friend or foe in the future." Natsuki, who was walking beside Natsuki, said.

"Is that so? But why did he become an enemy? Natsuki Igarashi looked puzzled.

"Who knows! Okay, the whole hospital is almost gone, and it's time for us to go. Natsuki suggested.

"Yes, in the end, I didn't find anything, I'm really unwilling, the so-called horror hospital, is it just this extent?" Natsuki Igarashi grumbled as she walked towards the outside of the hospital.

"So, most of this kind of thing is just fraud, rumors or something, it's not credible." Natsuki was on the side mending the knife.

"Alright, then let's part here! I'll see you at school tomorrow, Natsuki-san. Natsuki Igarashi stood at the entrance of the hospital with a burning expression on her face, as if her enthusiasm had been consumed.

But if you think about it, it's strange not to be frustrated when you come here with enthusiasm to find mysterious events, but in the end you return in vain.

In this way, the two said goodbye, and Natsuki Igarashi left.

Natsuki, on the other hand, turned around and returned to the hospital after seeing Natsuki Igarashi's back gone, and walked back to the ward where Uncle Yukata was just now.

"Hey, I heard that the girl in it is a seeded player in the national competition of high school track and field!"

"I know I know, it's said that I was in a car accident, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run anymore, it's really pitiful."

"In fact, it's not that there is no hope of recovery at all, as long as she can insist on treatment, but she seems to blame herself, because her brother died in that car accident, so she has always refused to do rehabilitation training, if this continues, I'm afraid those legs will really be wasted."

Standing in front of the ward just now, Natsuki listened to the whispers of the nurses, frowned slightly, and then pushed the door directly and walked in.

"Huh? You, why are you back again? The girl on the ward was immediately surprised when she saw Natsuki.

Even the man in the yukata, who always had an elegant smile on his face, couldn't help frowning.

And the little boy who was so scared that he hid behind his sister before, this time he uncharacteristically did not hide behind his sister, but stood in front of the hospital bed.

It's just that compared to just now, the little boy at this time is in a translucent state, and even his feet are not on the ground, but suspended a few centimeters in the air.

"It's nothing, it's just that after sending her away, I don't feel at ease, so I'm coming back to take a look, especially to see this little brother." Natsuki squatted down in front of the transparent little boy and looked at the little boy with a smile on his face.

And the little boy who was always pale and expressionless looking at Natsuki finally had an expression on his face, looked at Natsuki with gentle eyes, opened his mouth, and although he didn't make a sound, he showed a smile.

"You, can you see Jiro?" The girl was immediately stunned.

"Yes, you can see it! He's in this state, you can't see him. Natsuki nodded and said to the girl.

"Yes, I can't see him now, can you tell me what his expression is now?" The girl's eyes turned red.

"He's smiling right now." Natsuki said.

"That's right, that's great." A tearful smile appeared in the girl's eyes.

"I really didn't expect that you, young man, are also from here! Look away, look away. Uncle Yukata sighed a little.

"So, can you tell me what happened?" Natsuki smiled and asked directly.

"Actually, it's very simple, I found this little guy wandering around the hospital, so I brought him to meet his sister and fulfill his wish, that's it." Uncle Yukata said lightly.

"Is that all?" Natsuki asked.

"No, it's not just that, in fact, when my uncle first came to me and told me that my brother's soul had been wandering around me all along, and he didn't want to leave, I didn't believe it, and even took him as a liar, until just now my uncle let me see my brother." As the girl spoke, her eyes turned red again.

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my uncle yet! Thank you for letting me see my brother again, and I'm sorry for doubting you before. The girl bowed her head to Uncle Yukata and said.

"It's just a trivial matter, and seeing you is also your brother's wish, and I just want to help him fulfill his wish, and then let him become a Buddha with peace of mind." There are endless vicissitudes in Uncle Yukata's tone.

"Thank you anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you really." The girl's voice was already crying.

"So, it's almost time, little ghost, are you ready?" Uncle Yukata sighed, took a few steps forward and came to the little boy's side, reached out and stroked the little boy's head that he couldn't touch at all.

The little boy gave his sister one last look and nodded.

The girl, though she could not see the little boy, understood what was about to happen, and her eyes were fixed on the empty space that she could not see, for she knew that her brother must be watching her.

"Wait a minute." At this time, Natsuki suddenly said loudly.

Uncle Yukata looked at him puzzled.

So Natsuki stretched out his hand, and a force was injected into the little boy's body.

Looking at Natsuki's understatement, Uncle Yukata's eyes were condensed.

Immediately, the little boy's figure was once again illusory and solidified, and the girl saw her brother again.

"At least this last time allows the two to say goodbye in a way that they can see each other." Natsuki said.

"You've got a heart." Uncle Yukata smiled at Natsuki.

Natsuki smiled and didn't say anything.

He knew that Uncle Yukata didn't do it because he didn't have enough strength, not because he didn't want to do it.

After all, it is not easy to condense the illusory spirit, even if it is only for a short time, and it is already remarkable that Uncle Yukata can do it, and it can be said that this has consumed most of Uncle Yukata's strength.

And if you want to help the little boy condense once, let alone condense when it is about to dissipate, the power that needs to be consumed must be multiplied, and Uncle Yukata can't do it at all.

In this way, the little boy whose body was re-condensed threw himself into his sister's arms with a flutter.

And the girl hugged the little boy and cried.

Uncle Yukata sighed, came to the brother and sister who were hugging him, and reached out to stroke the little boy's head again, this time he touched it.

Immediately, a spell with a series of handprints was punched out by the yukata uncle, and countless points of light gradually emanated from the little boy's body, flying into the sky first.

"I'm sorry, brother, my sister didn't protect you in that car accident." The girl's tears kept falling on the little boy's body.

"That's not my sister's fault, I must get better soon, and then go back to the track and field club! I like the way my sister looks when she runs. The little boy smiled happily.

"Well, my sister will, and my sister will definitely go for a run again." The girl who was already about to give up running, but at this time she kept nodding.

"That's great, sister. My dream is to see my sister keep running, keep running. So, my sister must make my dream come true. The little boy's voice was full of relief and relief.

And with the rise of the point of light, the figure of the little boy also slowly turned into nothingness in the point of light.

Until finally, only a bunch of light points were left in the girl's arms, and then all the light spots disappeared.

"Don't worry, brother, sister will definitely get better, and I will definitely go back to running, definitely." The girl's voice was full of determination.
