Whew-

The inhaled smoke passes through the lobes of the lungs and is exhaled with a sigh.

"Do you like to smoke?"

Yanagihara asked her suddenly.

"Not either."

Hu Li replied in the negative.

"Then why smoke?"

Hearing her answer, Yanagihara tilted his head in confusion.

…… Well!! I don't know.

"Why do you smoke, I actually hate the smell of smoke."

Hu Li tilted her head as well.

I don't know myself either.

Hey, aren't you- already dead?

Yanagihara.

The second year of junior high school - at the age of fourteen

Just a day earlier, he had died

Died in an accident.

Because it has not rained for several days, the road surface is wet and slippery, and it is difficult to walk an inch, Yanagihara wants to help the old woman who fell on the overpass. I accidentally stepped on the air, and my head didn't fall down the stairs.

In this case, he should have broken a bone and unfortunately hit the vital point and died instantly.

Died very suddenly.

She and her boyfriend are walking together.

At the time, she was really panicked. I actually met people I knew in a planting place. It's just inexplicable. But now the only witness is dead.

Ah, she remembered.

It was from the time I attended Yanagihara's funeral that I had a headache inexplicably.

The smiling Yanagihara on his face in the photo is really hot.

What the hell are you laughing at?

Escape from such a filthy and turbid world by yourself.

Watching me have a headache of annoyance. Are you that happy?

Cowardly, he fled alone.

"As a result, why did you come back again-

She asked Yanagihara...... No, no, it's about asking the ghost named Yanagihara in front of you.

Huli set along the embankment of the riverbank. Suddenly unable to stop, he turned to face Yanagihara, who was following closely, and seemed to faintly see his feet.

"Haha, because I have an attachment to the world." Yanagihara said with a hippie smile.

It's not funny at all. Huli felt like she was about to faint.

That's right, the situation in front of me is not funny at all.

From the very beginning, she was constantly being looked at by people passing by on the road.

Some guys are pointing behind their backs. Whispering.

Some guys seem to see something old. Hurriedly look away.

Some guys simply don't think she exists, and they don't see it.

All of this is because of Yanagihara's relationship, and he is all harmed!

I'm completely insane!

It seems that Hu Li is the only one who can see Yanagihara.

Just accosted her gangster duo. It was to see that she suddenly began to speak into the air, thinking that Hu Li was a dangerous person with mental problems, so she quickly fled.

Please, don't fix me anymore, okay.

Alas...... My head hurts.

I heard a bell.

From the depths of the ears, ringing clearly in the brain.

If you look closely, at Yanagihara's feet, there is an extra cat at some point, looking up at her.

It's like. Out of thin air.

Strange cat.

Golden eyes. There is a large bell hanging from the neck socket, and the whole body is black, but the tail has a touch of white at the end.

People can't help but want to reach out and touch it.

And so—

"Come, come here."

Hu Li beckoned to the cat.

Results——

"Don't pretend to be familiar with me, you human! Do you want to fight?"

Cat, talked.

With a cute voice like a teenager. Say very vicious things.

"Huh?"

She froze. Even when he saw Yanagihara's ghost, he was not frightened in the slightest, but now he felt very wrong.

She has big eyes. I opened my eyes wider than I used to.

And then this time Naoichi came out of nowhere!! A teenage girl.

The pure white girl, ignoring the presence of gravity, gently descends to the ground.

The white girl has a beautiful appearance that is unparalleled.

There is a little childishness in his expression, and the righteousness reveals the mature temperament of a victory.

She holds a large scythe in her hand. It coincides with an existing impression in Hu Li's mind. But the girl's touch and the breath that emanates. But it was far from that image, so Hu Li immediately rejected her association.

Outcome!!

"Hello, I'm the Grim Reaper." The girl said seriously.

Then he called out to the black cat.

"Daniel. Come on K, for nothing."

The black cat moves flexibly and stands on two feet. The tail is rolled up to the front of the body. Then use your front foot to grasp the white part of the end to form a circle. The girl puts her hand in the circle!!

With the sound of the black cat screaming and cheering, the girl took a card.

It's specially for Hu Li. The card is clearly emblazoned with the Grim Reaper.

Please spare me.

After the ghost, there is no death in the building, right?

It doesn't look like "that kind of thing" by any means. It's so much worse.

And there are names.

The girl who calls herself the Grim Reaper seems to be named Baibai, and her black cat. It's called Daniel.

Alas!!

But it's good to think about it.

Standing in front of her at the moment was the black cat and the Grim Reaper (though unbelievable. But since it has already appeared, there is no way). In other words, the Grim Reaper is here to lure the souls of the dead, so it should be true.

So, she can get rid of the ghost of Yanagihara.

「…… Think, that's half right."

Girl Grim Reaper...... Say so in vain.

It was as if she could hear the voice in Julie's heart.

In addition to him, there are also you.

White and black eyes looked at Hu Li.

"Ahh

What do you mean, do you mean that I will die too?

Or does it mean something else?

However, he did not answer, only said......

"The important East Liang always realizes how important it is after they are lost!! So if you don't hold it tightly, it's easy to lose. Or maybe it's too much contention for what's important to tell what's most important, right?"

Strange Grim Reaper. Just looking at the appearance, it is completely different from the impression that ordinary people have of death, which is very peculiar, and the words that come out are completely incomprehensible.

"What are you talking about?

"There is!!" In vain there was still no answer. "Don't worry, things will soon work out as you wish. Because he can stay for not long one

In the mouth of the god of death, of course, it should be Yanagihara.

Ahhhh I see.

That's good, that's good.

"That's him. When will it disappear?"

Hu Li was about to ask. Outcome!!

"Daniel, let's go."

"Hmm."

Contrary to when it appeared. White and Daniel melted into the air like feet, quickly vanished.

…… feed

All that was left at the scene was Yanagihara, who was still smiling.

actually asked others to go around, and then said to leave.

Damn it.

I'm going to die. Something is going to happen. I don't know what to do.

The most important thing is lost.

"What the hell do you mean, who do you think you are?

"Isn't she the Grim Reaper?"

Yanagihara laughed to himself after speaking.

…… That's enough.

Ahh......h My head hurts.

Begin to perceive. It was almost a week ago.

"Ugh...... It's terrible."

That's an unspeakable thing.

I can't say it to anyone.

Of course. It is impossible to say "him".

Because, because of him!!

Absolutely never spoken.

……

"Hey—why are you here?"

Huh?"

"I said you...... Why...... It's going to be at my house!"

Hu Li spoke out loud in an almost angry manner.

oh

Yanagihara only replied casually, and couldn't tell whether he understood it or not.

Yanagihara followed her from beginning to end, and finally even followed her inside the building where her family lived.

Hu Li went to her room to ask, and Yanagihara followed her into her room, looking like she took it for granted.

Even if she locks the door or locks it. It's the same for Yanagihara.

Of course.

Because he's a ghost. It can come and go at any time.

Alas!!

Is that the case?

Is this the way it goes?

This is the legendary "spirit behind the scenes", isn't it?

Please, really spare me.

Why am I the only one who is particularly unlucky

Yanagihara happily looked around and browsed the room.

Is the bedroom of the opposite sex so novel?

Perhaps, although I don't know much about Yanagihara. But it looks like it's supposed to be a playboy boat.

He'd never been in a girl's room. I only have a chance for the first time after death!! No way?

Aha...... Really, I can't laugh.

"I ask you—

"What's the matter?"

Hu Li spoke up. Yanagihara immediately turned to look at her with a smile on his face.

It's strange - why are you so happy?

It's dead, isn't it?

"Who the hell is that guy just now?"

"Just now?" Yanagihara asked her with a serious face.

"The white-clad guy."

She was about to change her uniform, but found that Yanagihara couldn't change her clothes. I had no choice but to sit on the bed.

"White, pharyngeal. You mean it for nothing. Indeed, so bad girls. It would be the Grim Reaper. It's unbelievable." Yanagihara said happily.

No, no, no. You are so gracious and your presence is also incredible to me.

First there are ghosts. And then there is the Grim Reaper.

It's getting more and more like the plot in the comics.

"Hey!!

Are you going to stay here, watching me change clothes and take a shower?

This sentence was about to be spoken, but it was suddenly interrupted by Yanagihara.

He said something very abrupt, very boring, and very inconsequential.

"Do you remember? What happened on a trip to the end of elementary school.

"Graduation trip?

A pair. At that time, there was a boy who wanted to sneak into the girl's room, so he climbed out of the window on the second floor, but fell straight down. You probably know that, too.

Ahhhh Hear him say that. She remembered.

So hard just to get into the girl's room. What a bother?

What a pathetic, poor idiot.

This is how Hu Li, who was only in the sixth grade of primary school at the time, felt about the whole incident.

Graduation trips.

Neither parent was present.

Night.

Curiosity stirring with stupidity.

Peeking into the upstairs room through the window, I saw that the girl I had a crush on was inside.

Okay, just push harder, and you can climb up.

That guy must have thought so. Because boys have very simple brains.

So, the boy really put it into practice, and then he fell very painfully.

Generally speaking, it is a height that can easily fall to death. But the branches at the bottom of the tree just became a buffer, and in the end the boy was only bruised.

Marvel.

It's just that the fear of falling from the building made the boy cry all the time, crying all the time.

At that time, Hu Li thought to herself that Naoyi was stupid.

That's right

The boy's crush is Hu Li.

Take it for granted. She wouldn't take that stupidity in her eyes at all.

After that, the guy was taken straight to the hospital. A careful hospitalization examination was conducted.

When he returns to his accommodation. It's been a whole day.

A short trip for two days and one night. The boy's graduation trip was over in just half a day, and the next day and a half were spent in a hospital bed.

Straight and stupid.

She hates stupid people.

Later, Hu Li said this to the guy.

The boy confessed to her, which she easily refused.

Yanagihara's view, however, seems to be different.

"I think it's amazing. Actually, I was in the same room as that guy. He also asked us to go with him. But I don't dare, because I'll be afraid. If you're not careful, you may fall down, you may be scolded by the teacher, or you may be hated by girls. But that guy really dares. I really admire him for taking such a big risk for the girl he likes. Isn't it great that you even gambled your life for the person you like?"

"Yes, it's not what you think it is, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that I want to be handsome. I just want to show it to other people.

Julie lay on the bed and quickly flipped through the popular magazines. Said casually.

She didn't bother to pay attention to what Yanagihara was talking about.

If you can, I just hope he's gone soon.

If talking satisfies him, say as much as he wants.

Then get out of here. Come on.

"However, in order to be handsome, I dare to play with my life. Isn't it also very powerful?'"

Yanagihara's expression was unusually serious.

Because he doesn't know what Huli is thinking.

"Grace ......"

Maybe. It's okay to say that.

After all, it's quite rare for a guy who doesn't even tremble to die in order to be handsome.

"Still, it's stupid, it's just a natural stupid."

After Hu Li finished speaking, she put the magazine away. Lie on your back in a large zigzag shape.

!! A fool is a fool.

Other than that, nothing.

Right?

Those stupid guys. Can you solve my troubles?

No, I can't.

It's impossible.

Because no one can do it.

No one can help it!!

Including myself.

"But......"

"Uh"

The timing of Yanagihara's cut was too coincidental, which just echoed Hu Lixin's monologue, which made her a little surprised and suddenly sat up from the bed.

It's just that Yanagihara is not responding to what she said in her heart, but persistently continuing the topic just now.

"Isn't it cool to be stupid?

"What,"

Hey, hey, hey. Don't be so straightforward.

Whether it was Yanagihara, the white god of death, he said inexplicable words with a very serious expression.

But Yanagihara continued to talk about it by himself!!

"Sometimes it's cool just because you're stupid, isn't it, like the main character in an action movie. Actually, if you think about it, each one is stupid, but it makes people think it's cool."

"Those are two different things, and they can't be confused."

"I think it means the same."

I wasn't listening to her at all.

Ay...... Sighed again.

However, Ertanji's sigh was not so heavy.

After this boring and idiotic conversation just now. The depressed mood has been released a lot, and the body has become a little lighter. It's a pity that Hu Li herself didn't notice it.

Right now......

Yanagihara's expression suddenly changed.

His brow furrowed, and his face ...... Although it was not enough to break out in a cold sweat, it already showed a rather painful expression.

What's up, what are you doing? Huli asked him.

But he didn't answer. Just staring straight ahead, no focus.

And then!!

「…… Come, come......"

Yanagihara's eyes widened and he shouted into the air.

- Beep beep beep ride ride Heng Mile ride!

The incoming phone ringtones suddenly ringing in the room.

「———」

Hu Li was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.

The schoolbag was just dropped on the floor, and the phone was left next to it. Mobile phone hung with various charms. It was sounding at an explosive volume, and the call lights were flashing brightly.

Ride, ride, ride, low mile, ride, beep, beep

A rock song composed of electronic notes continues to play as if it were plucked.

The volume is set to the maximum. The horn has begun to make a hoarse vibrato.

For Hu Li. This was originally a favorite song. It has become a symbol of melancholy.

Beep!! Ride, ride, ride, low mile, ride, beep

Ringing and flashing.

This familiar melody echoed bitterly in Hu Li's mind.

Once, she was so expecting this melody to sound.

Now, however, I don't want to hear it anymore.

The original song of this sativa melody. It's a lyric with a dream.

It's written very jerky, but there is a kind of simple touching,
