99.6.1 Fukujin Plain brought his mother, Miyoko, from the countryside to live in the city

00.2.1 Miyoko was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and it was mentioned many times in her diary that Miyoko became more and more irritable, often finding trouble with her daughter-in-law, blaming her daughter-in-law for all the things she lost at home, uprooting the flowers and plants in the garden and throwing them on the dining table, putting a lot of salt in the family's meals, and even pooping in the bathtub. Only when you send Miyoko to visit the shrine can she be quiet. Fukujin Hirahara considered whether to send his mother to a nursing home in Watayama City, but gave up on the idea after being persuaded by his wife.

Miyoko, the mother of Fukujin Plain, whose Alzheimer's disease is getting worse and worse, hangs charms in her room, wraps her daughter-in-law's hair in charms and burns it on a candle, while chanting words. In the family's photo, the daughter-in-law's portrait was painted red and pasted on the broken mirror in the bathroom. Since Fukujin Hirahara often defended his wife, his mother would verbally curse him.

13.5.1 Fukujin Hirahara found that the mother had left the house at 1 a.m. After following him, he found that his mother, dressed in a white robe and carrying a scarecrow doll, walked to Iki Shrine in the east of the city, dancing and chanting, and using hammers and nails, pinned the family's photos to a tree below the shrine.

13.7.4 While Fukujin Hirahara was at home from work, she fainted due to intermittent headaches and collapsed, and while waiting for an ambulance, Miyoko Fukujin appeared at the door - she walked through several iron gates and walked all the way back to her home without alerting the nursing home's security system. At the same time, Fukujin Plains stopped having a headache. Subsequently, Miyoko Fukujin lived at home and was never sent to a nursing home again.

13.7.5 Fukujin Plain's condition was found to be intermittent headache caused by neurological disorders. Fukujin Hirahara began to receive psychotherapy and take medication at the suggestion of Yuto Emon, but this was not explained to the company.

"July of the 13th year was a turning point in the spiritual condition of the Fukujin Plains."

The doctor explained, "At that time, Yuto Emon only regarded his father-in-law's condition as an elderly anxiety disorder caused by migraines.

It was only in the course of the subsequent long-term treatment that the fact that Fukujin Hirahara suffered from multiple personality schizophrenia was discovered. ”

With that, the doctor turned the medical record file of Yuto Emon upside down and handed it to Leon, and at the same time took out another tape recorder and played the audio file.

"13.8.5, Psychological Counseling Object, Fukujin Plain. 3rd Psychological Counseling. Recorded by, Eimon Yuren. ”

"Fukujin-kun, how are you feeling lately? Do you feel migraines, or anxiety, irritability, depression, etc. ”

“...”

"Fukujin-kun?"

“... Whew, you're good. ”

"What's the matter, father-in-law."

"Do you think Apricot has been a little weird lately?"

"Huh, apricots? What's wrong with her? ”

"No, nothing. It's that she often visits Ihime Shrine on weekends with Satoe recently. ”

"Oh, this one, didn't they go there a lot before."

"It's different... Ever since Miyoko had that kind of thing, I've often felt weird about anything around me... It always felt like they were hiding something from me, and..."

"Speak, please."

"And the other day, I started dreaming about something very strange."

"Strange stuff? Can you elaborate on that? ”

“... I told you how my uncle died, right? At that time, he went crazy studying legends, and at night when we were all asleep, he sneaked into the room with a knife and tried to kill me, Shion, and Xiulai, and was finally discovered by his parents and killed him by mistake in the fight.

For the sake of the family's reputation, he lied that he committed suicide by seppuku, and soon after that, something happened to both Hideyori and Shion. I wonder if our Fortune God family is really cursed by something, or if we have the seeds of madness hidden in our genes..."

"Relax, take your time."

"Whew... A few days ago, I dreamed that I had returned to my hometown's mansion and was lying in the futon, when I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a dark figure with a knife rushing into the house. Then several vague, color-like humanoids rushed in from outside the house, wrestling with the shadow.

This is obviously the scene of my uncle's death, but in the dream, I took the initiative to rush forward and twisted the neck of the black shadow from behind. Do you remember that I told you that my father died when I was returning to the countryside with Satoe in the 64th year of Showa, because he got up at night, fell off the steps, and broke his neck? ”

"Father-in-law..."

"I wondered if I had gone mad and sleepwalked in my sleep at night, thinking of my father as if he had tried to kill my uncle and wringed his neck. In order to protect me, my mother claimed that my father had fallen to his death. ”

"Please don't think so..."

"That's not all! Do you know that in February of the tenth year of Heisei, I accidentally let the boiling water burn Hiroshi and Apricot, right? I dreamed about that scene the other day, and in the dream, I found myself in the mirror, looking at the crying Bo and Apricot laughing wildly..."

"Father-in-law, you are torturing yourself with irreparable pain from the past."

“... Maybe, but I feel more and more that maybe there really is another person hidden in my body. ”
