Tokyo Ghost Diary

Gen Hoshino's eyes gradually moved away from the unconscious woman on the bed, and completely fell on Sasaki Ayane.

The boy and girl looked at each other in such a quiet palace that was inaccessible to others.

After a moment, Sasaki Ayane stood up, signaled to Hoshino Gen, then turned around and walked towards a small door in the hall.

Hoshino Gen followed silently as the other mikos watched.

Behind the small door is an empty side hall. The furnishings here are simple, with only some desks and some bedding shops neatly stacked against the wall...

After arriving here, neither of them sat down in front of the desk. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, Sasaki Ayane spoke first, her voice as cold as ever: "Are you curious why I am here? "

Gen Hoshino was not surprised that Sasaki Ayane could see through what he was thinking. After all, when he saw the other person in the palace, the look on his face was too obvious.

He nodded slightly: "Here...it seems to be very dangerous next."

Sasaki Ayane said calmly: "I was picked up by someone and arrived last night."

Hoshino Gen was stunned: "Does the old man know?"

"Grandpa acquiesced." Sasaki Ayane's plain expression finally showed a trace of undetectable confusion and confusion.

But facing the young man in front of her, whom she had been getting along with for more than a month, and... the person she might be closest to in the future, she paused, and said softly: "The witches said that Chiyo Miyaji is my aunt, aunt Since I have no children, I can only bear the thousand-year [industry] of the Qiandai family..."

Although he had vague speculations in his mind before, when he heard what Sasaki Ayane said personally at this moment, Hoshino Gen's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

However, he suppressed his surprise for the time being and asked the more important doubt at present: "What exactly is [karma]?"

"Body karma, verbal karma, and mental karma."

Hoshino Gen is silent, these are the three karma in Buddhist language. Although they include both good and evil aspects, they generally refer specifically to bad karma.

Think about the various natural disasters and visions in Kyoto today and the tragic situation of Chiyo Palace Secretary today. This so-called thousand-year career is really not a good thing.

"The business of the Chiyo family has been borne by you, the eldest daughter of the Sasaki family. So, will you change your surname to Chiyo from now on, or will the Chiyo family belong to Sasaki from now on?" Gen Hoshino showed a playful smile.

At this time, Sasaki Ayane fell silent. It was only when Hoshino Gen thought she would not answer that she said in a strange voice: "They said, let me... my future daughter be adopted into the Sasaki family. , and then return the [karma] to her when she grows up."

"..." Hoshino Gen's mouth twitched slightly, did you almost say the word "we"?

He acknowledged the high probability that he would marry Sasaki Ayane in the future. Therefore, there was actually no problem with the "we" that Sasaki Ayane wanted to say, but the key point was...if it finally came true "We", doesn't that mean...

Hoshino Gen asked calmly: "You agreed?"

Ayane Sasaki shook his head: "No, I don't think I'm qualified to make a decision."

There was no change in Hoshino Gen's face, he just nodded without saying anything else.

Sasaki Ayane took a breath and said: "I'm going to guard my aunt. They said that when my aunt wakes up, I must be by her side."

After that, she added: "Here are the beddings they prepared for me. Do you need to sort them out? You can rest here first."

Hoshino Gen thought for a while and nodded: "Thank you."

He was indeed a little sleep deprived. He stayed up too late last night and just slept for a while on the train in the morning. Now faced with this kind of stormy situation, he took advantage of the quiet moment before the storm to recharge his batteries. Is the wisest choice.

Sasaki Ayane turned around and walked towards the wall of the quiet room, found the bedding she used last night, and then carefully spread it on the bamboo mat.

After doing this, Sasaki Ayane told Hoshino Gen where the water and food were placed, then left the quiet room alone and closed the door.

Gen Hoshino was the only one left in the quiet room. He just looked around, walked to the bedding laid out for him by Ayane Sasaki, threw off his shoes, got in and closed his eyes. A delicate fragrance filled the tip of his nose.

......

buzzing-

On the helicopter, Takasugi Yusuke held the handle and half-knelt by the door, facing the extremely cold wind on a day that was clearly midsummer, overlooking the inner city of Kyoto that had been reduced to half a ruin.

He had just received the news of a natural disaster in Kyoto three hours ago, so he rushed over without stopping.

But at this time, looking at the mess in front of him, the expression on his face was quite calm.

"Mr. Takayama, there are bamboo forests near Kenmi Shrine and there is no suitable landing site. Can we land two kilometers ahead?"

The helicopter pilot loudly asked Takasugi Yusuke behind him.

His voice fell through the roaring wind and fell into the ears of Takasugi Yusuke. He just said calmly, but the voice was conveyed back to the pilot's ears equally clearly.

The helicopter flew at a low altitude, and Takasugi Yusuke continued to overlook the city.

Suddenly, a park in the distance that remained intact at the epicenter of the earthquake caught Takasugi Yusuke's attention, but it was not because of the park itself, but because of the chaos of a large group of students wearing familiar school uniforms gathered there.

"Segawa Private Academy?" Yusuke Takasugi frowned slightly, turned and shouted to the pilot: "Please fly towards the park over there."

The pilot heard this without any hesitation and immediately steered the helicopter towards the park not far away. After all, the order given to him by his superiors was to follow Mr. Takasugi's arrangements.

......

"Help...wuwu..."

"Ah——! It's coming this way!"

"There's some here too!"

In the open space of the park, large groups of students fled in all directions. Some teachers and school staff shouted loudly to maintain order, but it had no effect. Various chaotic situations emerged one after another.

The culprits responsible for the current scene were those colorful pythons that appeared out of nowhere and were wandering around among the students.

In the crowd, Shimizu Yu held Suzuki Sawami who was choking because of fear with one hand, and carried a rather strong-looking branch with the other hand to alert the surroundings. Although she was very afraid of snakes and her face turned pale, she also Didn't cry like many other timid girls.

Suddenly, a student on her right who was running away in a panic tripped over something and let out a scream. She subconsciously turned her face to look, and goosebumps immediately rose all over her body.

There was no other reason than that what tripped the student was a python!

At this moment, the big python was squirming and approaching her.

Next to her, Suzuki Zemi screamed and grabbed Yu Shimizu's wrist to pull her away, but she didn't want to be tripped by the feet of the classmate who just fell over there...
