Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fox God
The sights of Nagokawashima's memories have all disappeared, and she has unknowingly stepped to the top of the mountain.
There was a temple at the top of the hill, which had been built by her ancestors to miss her distant homeland......
……
Takero Nagu watched his sister walk out of the house like a corpse and walk outside. Annoyed, he returned to his room and slammed the door again.
'Bang! ’
The sound echoed throughout the room, and the only room in the rental room belonged to him. My sister said that she likes to sleep on the sofa, how can anyone like to sleep on the shabby sofa that has been black plum!
She must be using this excuse to mock me, to let me know that I made my family like this, and that I, a person who should have died, lived like this!
The room is messy, Nagu Takero usually never allows his sister to come in and clean, this is his soul harbor alone, only in this place where no one enters, no one laughs at him, despises him, and dislikes him!
In the past, he also secretly wore wide clothes to cover his face and followed his sister, he wanted to know why his sister went out early and returned late, and what she was doing.
But when he saw his sister doing a few jobs desperately, and went to the street to beg for money without losing face, his heart felt like he was being grabbed by something.
Why don't you give up on me! Why sell what you have at home! There was Mom & Dad's favorite garden, my favorite bike, her favorite oven......
He knew that everything about his sister was because of him.
Why don't you let me die! I don't want to be a burden, I don't want to~!
Takero Nagu leaned against the door and looked up at the dark ceiling, as if looking at his equally dark future, his body gradually slipping, tears silently leaving his eyes.
Suddenly, something in the corner of the room shone brightly.
Takero Nagoo wiped his tears with his sleeve, and walked over the messy floor with a shallow foot in curiosity. An owl-shaped music box appeared in front of him, he knew it, he remembered.
It was when he was still in kindergarten that the family won the first prize in a family relay competition.
He slowly knelt on the ground, picked up the owl and gently wiped it with his cuffs, then carefully twisted its clockwork.
'Jingle, ding, ding,'
The rhythm of the music reminds me that the owl's belly gradually opens, and there is a picture of the excited smiling faces of the family when they win the first place. There were fathers, mothers and him, and the sister who was cheering on the side also ran over to take a group photo together.
Looking at the smiles on his parents' faces, and looking at his sister's innocent and lively smile at that time, Nagu Takero suddenly felt inexplicable sadness, hugged them to his chest, lowered his head, and began to cry.
The crying grew louder and louder, and the tears flowed more and more.
'Sister!!' ’
Takero Nagoo opened the door with the music box like crazy, looking for his sister in the house, but where is there still a sister who feels sorry for him in the small house......
……
Nagogawa Island walked into the temple, knelt on a futon, looked at the fox-headed human figure in front of him, and folded his hands.
'Lord Kitsune! Can you tell me why my home is the way it is! Why did my brother become like this! ’
'Am I doing something wrong?' I'm almost overwhelmed! ’
'Lord Kitsune! Please tell me, what should I do! Woowoo woo ......'
Nagokawashima couldn't shed tears anymore, and she felt chills all over her body, and she couldn't help but clench her arms.
'I can help you ......'
Suddenly, a sweet and soft female voice came from the idol.
'Ah~! Who, who's where? ’
Nagokawashima, who was already shivering with cold, jumped in fright.
'Aren't you asking me?' ’
'You...... Are you ...... Fox... God-sama...? ’
That's what you call me, but I have another name called ...... Devil's Daughter! ’
'Demons? No, no, you're a good god! How can it be a demon? ’
'Is it kind!? It depends on how you understand it. ’
Olive leaned against the back of the idol, her fingernails blowing with a relaxed expression.
'Can you get my mom and dad back?' ’
Nagokawashima eagerly knelt on the ground again and asked urgently.
‘…… OK. ’
'Then I beg you to appear quickly!' I miss my mom and dad so much! Woowoo woo ......'
Nagokawashima was so anxious that he began to cry again.
'Mortal! Everything has a price! ’
'As long as I can get my mom and dad back, and!' Let my brother get better, I am willing to give anything! ’
But if you only have one person, you can only save one person. ’
'I'...... I ......'
'I can grant you a wish, but in exchange, your soul will return to my bosom......
'Can I only save one person?' ’
You can understand it this way. ’
'Then I'll ask the fox god to save my brother!' Let him get better, and I'll be worth dying for. ’
'Oh? Doesn't he hate you very much? Is it worth it for you to defend him like this, and at the cost of your own life? ’
'Lord Kitsune! I beg you to save my brother! He used to be a good boy, but he was sick because he was like this, please! Please! ’
Nagogawashima kept kowtowing to the statue of the fox god, and the sound of smashing on the ground was so loud that even Olive behind the statue felt pain for her.
'Alright! I promise you, but you remember! Don't tell anyone about me! After all, this god was just passing by here today, and he happened to meet you who are so devout. ’
'Yes! Be! Kitsune-sama, I won't tell anyone even if I die! If I do, I'll let you take it with you right away! ’
Nagokawashima knelt on the ground, looked at the idol with his hands folded and said his vow.
‘……’
How does it sound like child trafficking!
After a while, a note fell from the sky and landed right in front of Nagokawashima, who looked at the statue and carefully picked it up.
'This is my hand jade, you must not open it now, otherwise it will not work.' When you have confirmed that your brother's illness is cured, come to me again and open the hand jade, and I will reappear ......
'Yes! Kitsune-sama! As long as my brother gets better, I will keep my word. Kitsune-sama......
'Lord Kitsune? ’
'Fox God, are you still there?' ……’
'Sister! ’
A shout rang out from behind Nagokawa Island,
'Takerou! ’
Nagogawashima stood up and ran out of the temple door, watching his brother come to her with an owl in his arms and no shoes on.
Her heart suddenly warmed, and she suddenly turned her head to the statue of the fox god and snorted three more times, and ran towards her brother......
……
'Do you like tailgating?' ’
'Uh...... Are you kidding her? ’
Hugo wasn't sure if the witch in front of him was really so kind,
Of course I don't have the power to help her. ’
‘……’
Hugo frowned.
'But you have! ’
‘…… I? ’
Hugo is now completely dazed by Olive Live......
……
'Sister! Woowoo...... It's me wrong, I'm a bastard! I'm damn ......'
'Takerou! Don't talk about yourself! ’
'Yes! Sister...... Woo'
Nagokawashima looked at his younger brother, and he seemed to have changed back to his former frank and honest appearance.
Is this really what the Kitsune God did? ’
Nagogawashima hugged her brother, who was crying in her arms, and looked back at the temple where the fox god was located......
