Chapter 63: A Mysterious Past
Next to the coffin, the uncle of the deceased is responsible for reciting the life deeds of the deceased, to be honest, a Sanhe god who became an otaku after graduating from college, really can't say anything too much about his life, so that when summing up, even his resume of winning the third place in the high school Chinese festival and joining the animation club as a cadre in college was taken out and recited.
After the deceased's uncle finished reciting, a god dressed in Shinto costume appeared and sat down in front of the spirit, muttering some unintelligible scriptures.
Maybe it was too early in the morning, and Umu Kui almost fell asleep in the scriptures of the god, and he forced his eyelids several times before he eased up, but fortunately, at this time, everyone no longer paid attention to the two, otherwise it would be very impolite to doze off at someone else's funeral, and he would be scolded.
The prayer ceremony of the god lasted for more than half an hour, and the struggle between Umu Kui and his eyelids lasted for more than twenty minutes, and finally, as the god got up, all the people attending the funeral also stood up.
Umu Kui and Bai Shatong got up with the people around them, and saw the guests attending the memorial service, according to the seating order, took the flowers from the flower basket next to the coffin in turn, and placed them in the coffin.
The two of them walked through the process in the same way as the guests, and walked into the courtyard, where most of the guests attending the funeral were concentrated, and people they knew gathered together to chat quietly.
Those who are closer to the deceased should wait for the spirit to rise and then follow to the crematorium; If the relationship is more ordinary, they will leave after the resurrection and end the funeral trip.
And Umu Kui and Shirasa Tong Meiyi had already communicated on the way here, and decided to end the mission and return to Tokyo after the spirit.
Since the coffin is involved in the lifting of the coffin, it takes a certain amount of preparation time, and Umu Kui and Bai Shatong Meiyi choose to be in a corner to consume this time.
"This is the first time I've attended a funeral." Bai Shatong said lightly.
"I ......"
Umu Kui originally wanted to say that it was the first time for him, but remembering that when the original owner's parents and grandfather died, the original owner participated, so he continued:
"It's not the first time I've ever done it."
Bai Shatong Meiyi nodded, and the two did not communicate anything else after that.
Umu Kui glanced at the girl, and the few contacts he had with her had always been like this, and there was very little communication.
At this time, the father of the deceased walked towards the two with a complicated face.
When Umu Kui saw it, he reminded Bai Shatong of his beautiful clothes with the back of his hand, and then straightened his waist.
"Dare to ask who the two are?" The father of the deceased stepped forward and asked.
The sunglasses covered most of Umukui's expression, and he stretched out his index finger and made a "shhh" gesture in front of his lips, and then said:
"Keep it secret, please mourn, if there is nothing to do, we will leave first, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient for us to show up."
As soon as Umu Kui's words fell, Bai Shatong Meiyi also nodded, agreeing with his words.
Seeing this, the father and father of the deceased were stunned, bowed to the two of them, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, and said:
"Please, two of you."
Umu Kui and Bai Shatong Meiyi bowed back, and then walked towards the door with elegant steps, looking not annoying.
A few minutes after the two left, the deceased's mother, dressed in a black kimono, came to the deceased's father with two black umbrellas, looked at the deceased's father who was in a daze outside the door, and asked:
"Who are they?"
The father of the deceased sighed and said:
"I don't know, they said that it was confidential, and it may be related to what my son said before his death, 'carrying out secret missions'."
The deceased's mother nodded, and showed the two black umbrellas in her hand to the deceased's father:
"They forgot to take their umbrellas with them, anyway, why do you want to bring two umbrellas on this sunny day?"
The father of the deceased shook his head, expressing puzzlement, and when he saw one of the umbrellas, his eyes suddenly froze.
Taking the umbrella from the deceased's mother, he remembered that the woman of two had brought it, and that her umbrella was shorter than the man's, and that there was a ghosted "R" on the handle.
"This is a Rolls-Royce black umbrella! This umbrella is worth 2 million yen! The father of the deceased exclaimed.
Before, my son said that he was engaged in some work that needed to be kept secret, and I thought he was talking about it, is what my son said true?
Otherwise, why would an otaku who doesn't have a stable job know a woman who uses a 2 million yen umbrella?
Not only did the deceased's father think so, but even the deceased's mother also decided at this time that her son must have been involved in some mysterious field of work before his death.
"It's strange that they brought such a valuable umbrella on a sunny day and got it lost here! Should it not be ......" the father of the deceased stopped talking.
The mother of the deceased hurriedly asked, "Could it be anything?" Say it quickly! ”
"Isn't it ...... Could it be that their son's cancer has something to do with their mission? It is inconvenient for them to give me the money directly, these two umbrellas, they can stay here, and they compensate us. ”
"Ahh What kind of secret work can make my son suffer from cancer! The mother of the deceased was a little suspicious that her husband's statement was unreasonable.
"You know that! There are some things that are not allowed and can only be done in secret! ”
The father of the deceased glanced to the southwest, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but grab the hands of the deceased's mother.
"What! Our son still has the ability to do this!? Can...... The other umbrella is just a very ordinary WPC! You can buy this umbrella for a few thousand yen. ”
The father of the deceased suspiciously took another umbrella from his wife, the black umbrella brought by Uki Kui, and looked at it, as if trying to find some clues from the umbrella.
"Since the other umbrella is to compensate for money, this umbrella may have a message to us!"
The mother of the deceased nodded, affirming this statement, and the husband's statement analysis, in her opinion, although a little flawed, was generally reasonable.
She has long felt that her son can never just be a mediocre otaku.
At this time, the deceased's uncle came out of the house and saw his brother and sister-in-law looking around a black umbrella, full of black lines, and did not know what they were doing.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you're going to give your nephew a spirit, what are you parents doing here?" The deceased's uncle complained.
Hearing his brother's words, the deceased's father patted his head, he was confused for a while, and he actually delayed his business, and hurriedly dragged his wife back to the house, ready to give his son a spirit.
When he walked to a vacant area where there were no people, he took out his phone and reported the situation to Nozomi Sato, and when Nozomi Sato decided that the order had been completed, he walked into a restaurant that made "Chichibu Sweet Fish", a local delicacy in Saitama Prefecture.
