Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

I spent the next few days in this inexplicable Kek Lok Si Temple.Everything here is too normal, it looks like an ordinary monastery and a group of ordinary believers, living a peaceful and boring practice life every day.I can hardly imagine that Tong Mo spent his childhood and youth in such a place of asceticism, and why these people would entrust their lives to a child on the altar.But the matter of belief has always been beyond common sense. It is probably because the world has too many troubles and tribulations, and it is always necessary to find a way to vent it, just like those people in my memory who threw children into Arakawa while praying and cheering.The human mind is really hard to fathom.

Qin Ye came to work on time every day, either watering the flowers or weeding, serving tea and snacks, even kneeling on the ground to keep the corridor floor spotless, and by the way, put flowers in the vases.Other believers are more devout, and the leader is a real god in their eyes. Of course, this is not only related to his special appearance, but also inseparable from his overly intelligent mind and his clear understanding of the darkness of human nature.This is really ironic, a monster that only looks like a human, but is completely inhuman inside, has been doing religious work to appease people for hundreds of years.However, it doesn't seem surprising that this kind of thing happened to Tong Mo. He was already close to schizophrenia, so whether he was a god or a ghost, he was able to handle it with ease.

From this, I also understood how the pampered nobleman temperament in Tong Mo's bones was coddled. Whoever is regarded as a true god for 200 years can probably be plated with a layer of gold. There are few shrines.

""Kojiki"..."The Tale of Genji"..."Manyoshu"?"

"Huh... what is this? Matsuo Basho's "Hai Harmony Qibu"? Fujiwara's "Inch Tetsuro"? Pfft, does that guy still read this kind of book?"

"Ah, has Miss Ran ever read books? I don't know any of those."

Qin Ye came in with a plate of sakura pancakes, saw me rummaging through the books on the shelf, and put the plate on the table with a smile.

"I heard that the leader was very diligent and studious when he was young. However, those books have not been cleaned up for a long time, and there may be dust. Wipe your hands clean and try this."

Probably because her cooking skills were finally recognized, Miss Qin Ye was very excited. During these days, she fed me countless snacks and side dishes every day, because her cooking skills are really good, and because I haven’t eaten human food for many years , also happily acted as a cooking appraiser, and in exchange for more feeding.

"okay!"

I happily put down the book and prepared to eat snacks, but I accidentally knocked off the last one on the shelf. I picked it up and saw that it was a very old book. It came off the spine with a touch, and the pages scattered all over the floor.

"Aww, oops. Wait a minute, I'll fix this."

Thinking about the age of that ghost, it might be a limited edition antique, and it would be bad if I lose money if he cheats on me.

I picked up the scattered pages one by one, and after picking up a few pages, I found that it was actually a "Heart Sutra".I saw the words "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" written on the cover.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

I slapped the ground and laughed wildly, which startled Qin Ye.

"Miss Ran, what's the matter, what happened?"

"No, no." I laughed almost to tears.This book appears here is really out of harmony, Waka anthology is nothing more than that, does that ghost even read Buddhist scriptures?

"There is actually a copy of the "Heart Sutra" here. Your master really has read a lot..." I smiled and explained to the bewildered Qin Ye. No one thought she was surprised at all.

"The leader is the son of God. He arranges the morning and evening classes in the church. He is very familiar with these scriptures. What's so strange about it." Qin Ye pouted, "Miss Ran, don't look down on the leader. My lord, he has been proficient in all kinds of classics since he was a child, but he is very powerful."

This is understandable, as a ghost, time is what he has the most, not to mention Tong Mo is a ghost with an abnormal mind but a very good one.

It's just... I glanced at Qin Ye.The child is hopeless.I think it's better not to tell this simple girl the other side of the leader she trusts and admires.Regardless of why she appears here and now, we should not break each other's dreams.

I sorted out the messy papers one by one, and found that some of the pages had blurred handwriting, which looked like childish handwriting, but because of the age, the ink had faded, and it was almost invisible.

But I can vaguely see that the first sentence of the Heart Sutra is transcribed:

——Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, you will see that all the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships.

I turned a page and out of the corner of my eye I saw something white falling from between the pages.When I picked it up, it seemed to be a flower that had faded in color, because it had been dehydrated for a long time, and the thin, almost transparent petals were squeezed together, and the shape could no longer be seen.

"Miss Ran, the cherry cake is about to dry!"

"Here we come." I put the book back on the shelf, went back to the table and sat down, placed the flower on the table, and looked at it carefully while eating the cherry cake.

"Qin Ye, what kind of flower is this?"

Qin Ye came over and carefully picked up the dried flowers and looked at them.

"This is cherry blossoms. Although it is not common here in the temple, I heard that rich people in Edo have the habit of enjoying cherry blossoms. Does Miss Ran like flowers? I can plant some morning glory in the yard, and when spring comes It’s very beautiful when it’s opened in one piece.”

Morning glory, literati like to call it "Chaoyan", because it blooms in the morning and withers at noon.

"No need." I took a bite of the cherry cake, "That flower is too short-lived."

Qin Ye shook her head: "Although it is short-lived, it is a very tenacious flower, and it will bloom until autumn." She smiled softly, "Like human life, even if you encounter bad things, don't be discouraged. You have to persevere in order to wait for happiness."

She is a very lively person indeed.I also couldn't help laughing: "Yes."

"Ah, it's time for Inosuke to eat milk, I have to go back. Ms. Ran is responsible for eating up this plate of cherry cakes!"

"What! It's too sweet, I don't want it! Why should I eat it!"

"Because Ms. Ran seems to like snacks very much, please!" Qin Ye clasped her hands together with a grateful expression, "I'm leaving, and I'll make you delicious wild vegetable soup tonight."

I angrily shook my fist at her back, but the girl's back in a green kimono quickly disappeared into the corridor.
