Medical Diary with Dr. Yosano

The afternoon of the second day of the Tenjin Festival.

In order to better watch the offering fireworks, many people set off two or three hours in advance to grab a seat, and the Yosano family was no exception.

They closed the shop early, put on clean and beautiful bathrobes, and walked to Sakuranomiya Park talking and laughing all the way.

He and Xie Ye were held hands by their mothers and shuttled through the crowded crowd.

Because of his young age and short stature, his vision was mostly blocked by the crowd.So he simply gave up his sight, cleared his mind, and let his thoughts diverge.

Not long ago, he learned from a white-haired boy that existences such as resentful spirits and curses were born from human negative emotions.

Yosano saw the mystery and danger of that world from the information revealed by the boy.

Ordinary people can't see the existence of the curse at all. If they are really in danger, they may not even know where to run. How can they escape?Or is it self-inflicted?

Moreover, just a teeny boy who was evaluated by the teenager as "not even the lowest, not even the fourth grade" can bring people physical discomfort.And what about the higher beings above that?Will it be like the rumored Sugawara Michizane, who can bring down natural disasters, trigger thunder and fire, and make people have nowhere to escape?

Xie Ye couldn't figure it out before, the country is still at war, why spend a lot of time and energy preparing for the festival, every year without delay.

Now that I think about it, is it because the Tenjin Festival held every year is actually to appease the powerful Sugawara Michizane's grievances and to get rid of the curse caused by people's negative emotions?

hiss--

That seems to make sense...

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Ye's father held his son's head, vigorously kneading the neatly trimmed younger sister's head into a chicken coop.

Breaking free from the shackles with Xie Ye, he made a face at his father: "I won't tell you, huh!" Then he hid behind his mother and straightened his messy hair.

"Smelly brat, is it time for rebellion?" He Xie Ye's father widened his eyes and shook his fist at his son.

"Okay, okay, you two don't make trouble." The gentle mother stopped the naive father and son, and drew their attention to other topics with a few words.

At 29:1 p.m., there is still one minute before the start of the Bongna Fireworks.

The fleet on Okawa lit up the lanterns, and the orange lights complemented the neon lights on both sides of the river.The water surface reflects the colorful brilliance, which keeps flickering with the flow of the water waves.

Holding hands with Xie Ye by his mother, he looked up at the empty dark night sky.

Soon, the night sky will be dotted with colorful fireworks.

The fireworks will bloom at the moment when they reach the highest point, extremely gorgeous and gorgeous, and then fall in all directions like meteor fragments, leaving only beautiful but short-lived memories for people.

Unknowingly, Yosano held his mother's hand tightly, staring at the glimmer of light gradually brightening in the high and far sky.

The tourists next to them were counting down in a low voice but couldn't hide their excitement: "Ten, nine, eight..."

and many more.

Yu Xie Ye frowned, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Obviously the time has not yet come, so what is the light spot he sees now?

Some people around have noticed this problem, but they obviously don't pay much attention to it.

The spot of light is getting bigger and brighter.

Yu Xie Ye didn't know what it was, but a voice in his head yelled frantically, warning him: Danger!Danger!

run away-

The thumping heartbeat sounded like a drum beating against the eardrums.His throat seemed to be blocked by a large ball of cotton, but he couldn't make any sound when he wanted to speak.He forgot to breathe at that moment, holding his mother's hand harder and harder.

run away-

Suddenly, he seemed to hear his mother asking something with concern.

But that voice seemed to be coming from far away in the sky, it was extremely faint, and it was no different from the night wind blowing in Xie Ye's ears.

run away-

"...four, three, two..."

"Escape!!!"

One.

"Bang!" The light cluster exploded in the air, and there was a thunderous explosion, which was deafening.Yu Xieye's terrified voice was immediately covered, and even the parents beside him couldn't hear what he said clearly.

The fireworks rose into the sky one after another, blooming one after another.The people gathered in one place for the festival cheered and laughed, and began to enjoy the visual feast brought by the offering fireworks.

The initial group of light spots did not dissipate after the explosion, and the flame-like streamer dragged its long tail, and quickly rushed towards the fleet on Dachuan and the tourists on the shore.

When they were less than ten meters above the crowd, those streamers dispersed into smaller light particles, which were blown by the night wind like snow.

"what is this?"

"I don't know, the newly developed fireworks?"

"Like snow, it's pretty pretty..."

Someone curiously reached out to pick up the particle of light.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the moment the seemingly harmless light particles touched the skin, there was a "boom", and white light shot up into the sky.

The tiny light particles, whose power is comparable to that of high explosives, instantly blow everything within a five-meter radius into pieces.

From the first explosion, white light exploded in the crowd one after another, and the sharp and ear-piercing screams were covered by the rumbling noise.

The people who were still immersed in the carnival of the festival just now had no time to understand what happened, and lost their lives in the next second.

"Hoo-boom!"

Less than 10 minutes after the Bongna fireworks started, the originally lively viewing area fell into a cold silence.

Not a single street lamp for lighting and decorative lanterns remained, and they were all blown to pieces.The viewing area is shrouded in darkness, and can only be seen by the light of the fireworks blooming. There is a layer of fragments and rags floating on the surface of the river, and the two sides of the river are stained red with red blood. Purgatory.

Yosano, who was covered in filth, stiffly got up from the ground, nauseated by the strong smell of blood.He opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of blood mixed with dark red flesh.

He is not dead.

Among the hundreds of thousands of fireworks viewers, only he did not die.

After warning loudly, he lost his ability to think, and dragged his parents out regardless.

However, at this time, the "good position" they left early to occupy did not help.Because the viewing position here is excellent, the crowd is also the densest.It is impossible for Xie Ye and his family to push through the crowd in a short time and escape to a place that cannot be covered by light particles.

It all happened and ended so quickly that they had no time to escape.

At the critical moment, Xie Ye and his wife hugged their thin son firmly, trying to block the terrifying impact of the explosion with their bodies.

Their subconscious reaction actually played a role.

Although Yosano's internal organs were shattered by the huge shock wave at the moment of the explosion, he did not die immediately because of the couple as a buffer.

Of course, at this moment, he is also in a very dangerous near-death state, so fragile that it seems that a gust of wind can kill him.

At that moment, should it be said to be a miracle?

The new and wonderful power burst out from Xie Ye's body, and a wave of heat quickly spread to his limbs and bones, gently brushed over his wound, and then surrounded him like flowing water.

His whole body was warm, like a baby soaked in amniotic fluid after returning to the mother's body, he felt extremely comfortable and at ease.

When that strange feeling disappeared, Yoshino's injuries had been completely healed.Then he opened his eyes, and amidst the roaring fireworks explosion, he saw the scarlet hell that he would never forget in his life.

"Ahhh-"

Yosano woke up from the nightmare screaming.

His heart was beating so fast that he pressed his chest subconsciously.It seems that if you don't do this, your heart will jump out of your chest in the next second.

"With Xie Ye-kun?"

Hearing his screams, the nurse in charge of this ward hurried over, turned on the bedside lamp, and checked his condition nervously and carefully.

"Have another nightmare?"

Yu Xie Ye nodded slightly, the black hair on both cheeks was wet with cold sweat, sticking to that pale little face, and his lips were bloodless, looking very pitiful.

Thinking of what happened to him, the nurse sister couldn't help but feel soft. She took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, poured him a glass of warm water, and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat first, and I'll get you some chocolate. You'll feel better if you eat something sweet."

"Thank you sister." Yu Xie Ye thanked weakly.

"You're welcome." The sister nurse rubbed his head reassuringly.

Yosano watched the nurse leave the ward, looked away, and stared blankly at his blurred reflection in the water glass.

Three days have passed since the tragedy of the night of offering fireworks.As the only survivors at the scene discovered by the military police, Xie Ye was taken to a hidden hospital, where they were carefully guarded.

Because of the heavy mental shock, Xie Ye didn't have much of an impression of what happened after the military police arrived, and was in a daze from beginning to end.I only vaguely remember that someone said something to him, and someone asked him some questions.

But now he really can't remember the scene at that time.Did you open your mouth?If you opened your mouth, what did you say?He has no clue.

But for now, these problems are dispensable to him.

His time seemed to be stuck on the night of the second day of the Tenjin Festival. As long as he fell asleep, the tragedy of that day would reappear countless times in his dreams, as if he was cursed.

……curse?

Yosano suddenly remembered the white-haired boy.

[Curse is the negative emotion produced by human beings. 】

That's what the boy said.

So, am I cursed by myself now?

He hugged Xie Ye and curled up in a ball, as if this posture would bring him a sense of security.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling haunted his heart, and Xie Ye subconsciously looked at the window on the left.

It was late at night, and it was pitch black outside the window.Under the illumination of the warm yellow bedside lamp, Xie Ye could only see his own reflection on the glass.

Other than that, nothing.

It's just that he didn't let it go lightly.

Could it be that, just like the teeny head on Dad's shoulder before, there is indeed something at the window, but I can't see it?

Yosano was immersed in his own thoughts.

He wouldn't be frightened by such a thought, but he was somewhat confused and curious.What does the world related to the curse look like in the eyes of that white-haired boy?

Was what happened that night caused by a powerful curse spirit?Could it be Michizane Sugawara?

Yu Xie Ye's mind was in a mess, and a strange idea suddenly came up.

Sugawara Michizane, who was framed and charged with falsehood, turned into a powerful vengeful spirit after his death.Then three days ago, the hundreds of thousands of tourists who died innocently in that inexplicable disaster, including his parents, would they also...

"dong dong dong"

There was a standard triple knock on the door.

Yu Xie Ye, whose thoughts were interrupted, suddenly came back to his senses.

He thought it was the sister nurse who came back, but when he turned around, he saw a strange adult man.

The adult man tied his slightly long black hair behind his head, was wearing a military uniform and a white coat, with a smile on his face, giving off a gentle and friendly feeling.

"Hello, Yu Xieye-kun." After a simple greeting, he pulled the escort chair and sat down beside Yu Xieye's hospital bed, as if preparing to have a long talk with him.

"My name is Mori Ogai, and now I belong to the [-]th Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces. I am a military doctor with the team. You can call me Dr. Mori."
