Ayumi and Ashbara went to the manor and didn't come to the coffee shop.

But Qingming didn't care.

After all, he always controlled the whereabouts of the two little girls, and there were crows following them all the time, even in the school, and more than one.

This is for the sake of safety.

In the world, there is never a shortage of accidents, and the existence of crows can protect the two little girls to a great extent in the event of an accident.

Of course, in Qingming's thoughts, Gray Plains Mourning is still incidental.

It doesn't matter.

Under normal circumstances, Qingming doesn't care what they are doing.

Qingming is just doing his own thing.

There were no guests today, and the two little girls didn't come, so whether it was Qingming or Enomoto Zi, they were very idle.

Although Qingming has always been very leisurely.

To avoid boredom, Azusa Enomoto took a newspaper and stood in front of the counter and looked.

There seems to be a lot of stories on it and stuff like that.

Qingming rarely reads newspapers, so it's not very clear, and the newspapers are not ordered by him, but Azusa Enomoto, and the famous newspapers are basically ordered and offered to guests to watch.

So the profitability of coffee shops has always been very worrying.

It doesn't matter.

"Uh......h Not...... Woo......"

Azusa Enomoto kept making strange noises.

Well, Qingming felt strange.

When I looked closely, I realized that I seemed to be wiping my tears, and somehow I began to cry.

"What are you crying about?"

"Huh?"

"I ask you why you're crying."

"Oh, this ......"

Azusa Enomoto put the newspaper on the table, pushed it in front of Qingming, and pointed to a story on it.

"This one was so touching, so I cried."

“……”

Qingming didn't react.

It looks expressionless, but in fact it's looking at Azusa Enomoto with an idiotic look.

This made Azusa Enomoto very unhappy.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What you think it means is what it means, you can cry when you read a story, tsk......"

"What? Isn't it okay to be moved? ”

"Impressed? Shh ”

Qingming pouted.

He has something to say about this.

"Ah Zi, you have to understand that human beings are only moved by themselves, not by others, if you feel moved by this story, it will be very moved, if you don't feel moved, it will not be moved at all, understand?"

"Humph!"

Azusa Enomoto pouted and snorted softly.

However, he didn't express any opinions, I don't know if I agree with Qingming's point of view, or if I don't plan to talk nonsense with him at all.

Qingming insisted on his point of view.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with his views, and humans are, in a way, creatures that only move themselves.

Like what you like, hate what you hate.

That's the essence.

Even living in their own world, thinking that the world is as it is, as if they have grasped the truth of this world.

For example, investigating a case.

If the process and result of the investigation are different from what they thought, they will shout "shady", "officials protect each other", and so on, but they will not be able to come up with the slightest evidence or even just suspicious clues to overturn the investigation results of the case.

will only shout there, pretend to be "hehe" and make some insinuations, pretending that "everyone is drunk and I am sober".

Well, it doesn't really matter.

"So you stupid humans!"

Qingming shook his head.

After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Even though I'm human."

“……”

Azusa Enomoto, with a shocked expression on her face.

"Humans? You? ”

“……”

There was silence.

"Don't you think I'm not?"

"Do you think you are?"

"So when did you start to have the wrong idea that 'Qingming is not a person'?"

"I also want to ask when did you start to have the wrong idea of 'you are a person', you are not a human being, isn't it universally recognized?"

“……”

The world is cruel.

……

Evening.

Qingming returned to the manor.

Although he "quarreled" with Enomoto Azusa after a long time, Qingming was still in a very good mood, and he always had a smile on his face.

It still looks like a fake smile.

However, after seeing Ayumi, the smile on her face was a little more sincere.

"Are you going to stay here tonight? Let's go call your mom and dad first. ”

"Hey!"

Ayumi answered.

Then I went alone and made a phone call on my landline.

Staying overnight here in the manor, she didn't worry about her parents disagreeing, they were very relieved about Qingming.

Let's not talk about that.

Minaha Shimogasa and Nami Shimogasa are ready for dinner.

As soon as Qingming came back, he immediately brought hot meals, and Qingming's habit was to eat dinner first and then take a bath after returning.

Although Qingming really wanted them to ask "do you eat dinner first, take a shower first, or ...... first".

But thinking doesn't necessarily have to be put into action.

Some people often think about killing people, rebelling or something, but do they really do it?

And there are some things that you can't do even if you want to.

There were no surprises at dinner.

After a meal, it was already dark, and it was really dark.

Ayumi and Ai Gray Hara go to take a bath together.

Qingming sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and eating snacks, while the twin maids waited on the side.

Akane is also there.

Her sense of existence has been a little low lately, and I don't know if it's because of the name "Akane" that she has been contaminated with the Akarin attribute.

It's been here all the time.

But if he really wanted to say it, Qingming felt that he was a faithful believer in Akalin.

"Ahh

Stretch comfortably.

When it comes to Akalin, many people often say, "Huh? Who is this person?", "Why is there suddenly an extra person" and so on.

These are all false believers.

The so-called "Akalin" attribute refers to a low sense of existence, but a low sense of presence does not mean that it does not exist, it has always existed, but no one noticed.

So what's the reaction of "I didn't have this person before" and "I don't know this person"?

But it doesn't matter.

"Minaho ......"

Qingming just wanted to say something, but the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Nodding to Minaha Shimogasa, the maid took his phone and answered the phone instead of him.

After saying a few words, he handed the phone to Qingming again.

"It's Miss Champoli."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

I took the phone and smiled.

"Kaobaori, what's ...... Huh? ”

The smile stiffens.

"What's going on?"

"Father, he ......"

"Where are you now?"

"Hospital ......"

"I'll go right over."

After saying that, hang up the call and stand up directly.

"I'll go out."

Without any extra nonsense, Qingming left the manor and hurried towards the hospital.

……

Accidents can happen at any time.

I thought that today would be peaceful again, but I didn't expect it to be night, but there was a problem.

The father, who is named Kahori, was admitted to the hospital.

Maybe it's the recurrence of the old disease, or maybe it's finally the end of life, although Qingming rushed to the hospital quickly, he was still a step late.

This reasoner has already taken his last breath.

Qingming tried hard, but after all, he was still weak and couldn't cure him again, so that he could spend more time with his wife and daughter.

"Alas......"

Sigh softly.

In my heart, there is a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

"People always die!"

In my mind, I thought about it.

The difference is only when you die and what kind of way you die.

Today is the new name Ren Taro, and tomorrow it will be someone else, maybe when, it will be Qingqing's turn.

That's not good.

Although he is a Taoist priest, although there are some ways to prolong life, it is not the art of immortality after all, and it is impossible to obtain eternal life, and sooner or later he will die.

When the time comes, there will be nothing left.

Nothing will be lost.

"It turns out that being alive is the biggest helplessness!"
