[Noragami] I was not there

Kanaki was discharged from the hospital the day after that, a day later than originally planned.

It was also the same day, Yiqi Rihe woke up, but her memory of after that seemed to have become blurred, and the only thing she remembered was that something bad happened because of her own fault.They didn't explain much about it. After all, this is not a good memory. It might be better to forget it.

Kawamura Yousuke is fine. Although the main body of Kishimo still exists, she is powerless to do anything after such a severe injury. It will take many years just to recover.

In other words, the nightmare that had been going on in this hospital for the fourth year was finally and completely over.

I had dinner with my parents at home and was told to take a good rest. Kanaki took a shower and lay down on her bed in her pajamas. As if moving, too many things really happened in the past few days in the hospital.

The house suddenly became terribly quiet, and Xueyin followed Yato. After all, he has become his magic tool now. Although it is said to be a temporary job, judging from the situation at that time, this job may have to be longer.Since Hirono left after that, he didn't tell anyone where he was going, including Yato.

Yato didn't stop him from asking more questions. What Hongyin needs is not the comfort of others. From scratch to something, and then from nothing to nothing, he said that what he needs is enough time.

But the strange thing is that at the end of that night, Yato also became weird.

Kanaki remembered that before she left, she saw Yato staring silently at the place where Kishimo's artifact disappeared for a long time, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

Later she asked Xueyin, who was the clearest except himself, and he said that at that time, Yato split the head of the giant baby, and a white mask fell out from between his flesh, which seemed to have an eye drawn on it. pattern.

But as for what it was, Yato didn't say any more, but his face became extremely scary.

"...What's the matter?"

Kannaki looked at the pure white ceiling, the scene in front of her was shaking and blurring, but just when she was about to fall asleep, she seemed to hear the person she just finished talking was approaching The place called her—

"Axi...hey, Axi, wake up."

...was too real.

Kannaki pinched herself, and when she opened her eyes, she saw two faces that had been magnified several times getting closer, and all the sleepy bugs were scared away.

"Ah! Wake up!" Yukino yelled in surprise, and by the way, pushed away Yato, who was occupying the position facing Kanaki, "We just called you for a long time and there was no response."

"Sorry, I was a little drowsy just now." Kanaki helped her forehead and sat up, she seemed to be accustomed to them talking to themselves and entering her room.

"It's good that you're fine." Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Kannaki, "We came here to take a look because we were worried about you."

Kannaki nodded, looked at Yukino in front of him, and Yato who was pushed into the corner——

...Sure enough, it's still not there.

"Mr. Hongyin hasn't come back yet?"

Xueyin's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, she lowered her head silently: "Well... still haven't come back."

"We also searched after that, but he was determined not to let himself be found, and there is really no news at all." Yato sighed, rubbed his neck, jumped off the bed, grabbed the chair and sat down on it. , "Let him be alone for a while."

"...I see." Kanaki also lowered her head, there is still a book written by Hirone on her desk, although she lost her memory after death, she still vaguely remembers the past, "Mr. Hiroto really loves Itagaki Miss."

It's a pity that there are always many changes in life, and you never know what will happen in the next second.

"That's why it's said that life is not easy, and it should be cherished." Yetou lowered his eyes, closed them exhaustedly and half hung on the back of the chair, and half-opened his eyes as if thinking of something, from between his arms He peeked at the girl who was still on the bed and became quiet again.

It can be regarded as a reminder, he also wants to have a little bit now——

"Hey, Yukine." Yato swayed the chair and turned towards Yukine, raising one eyebrow lazily, "You're hungry, go to the convenience store and buy something to eat."

"Huh?" Xueyin, who was sitting in front of the bed, was very puzzled and upset at being suddenly named, "Go buy it yourself when you're hungry, why did you ask me to go?"

Yeto stretched out one foot and kicked his knee: "You can go if you are told, you have just become an artifact, and you need to get used to your new identity."

"Does this have something to do with my going to buy food?" Xueyin looked at her new master with a dull face.

"You are so long-winded, hello."

"Stop arguing, let me go." Kanagi stood up from the bed and said to the two, "What do you want to eat?"

"No need!" Yato grabbed Kanaki who was going to change clothes, shaking his head like a rattle.

"What's the matter?" Kanagi looked back at him helplessly.

"That... it's not good for a girl to go out at night like this, it's so dangerous." Yato squeezed out such an excuse after a long time.

"Huh?" The corner of Kanaki's mouth twitched, and she silently looked at the wall clock on the wall. The hour hand on it just passed eight o'clock.

Xueyin hesitated for a moment, but stood up obediently: "I know, I know, I'll just go."

Then he walked towards Yato, who was still holding Kanaki's hand and didn't know how to let go, pulled his sleeve to separate the two of them at the first time, and then spread his hand in front of Yato: "Bring it."

"what?"

"Money."

"..."

……

After receiving a handful of five-yuan coins poured out of the wine bottle by Yato with a sad face like treasures, Yukino said goodbye, opened the window of Kanaki's house, and jumped down easily.

Kanaki watched him walk around the corner from the window before retracting his protruding head.

"A Xi."

"what happened?"

Hearing the person behind him calling his name, Kanagi turned back to his body in response, and embraced him in a warm embrace the next second, with two powerful arms gently embracing him.

"..."

The familiar smell, the familiar temperature, and even the breath on the neck are so familiar. This hug came too fast, she was a little overwhelmed, and even forgot that she should push him away at this time, just let him hold.

Here again, the feeling that my brain is blank and I can't even think.

"...Ye, Yato?" It took her a long time to find her voice.

"Ah, it's really reassuring..." Yato hugged Kanaki, as he himself said, his whole body relaxed, he turned his head slightly and rubbed her hair a few times as he spoke.

"..."

Maybe just a little tired.

Thinking of this, Kanaki also slowly relaxed, and also stretched out her hands to climb onto his back and hug him back, his body was thinner and longer than she thought.

If power can be transmitted like this, she is willing to just hold him like this.

Yato felt her movements, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth—it's not easy to live a lifetime, and it's even harder to meet each other. Maybe I, who always live in the intermittent memories of human beings, really found someone I want to cherish.

That's it, say it... it should be okay, right?

He tilted his head, slightly opened the distance between him and her, and met his four eyes, but they were only a little closer, and he could fully see her reddish cheeks, and his golden eyes were full of his own reflection.

Then...he also blushed slowly like an idiot, maybe he could try to get closer, stroke the broken hair in front of her forehead, and press it against her forehead - then it would be closer, so close As long as he moved a little closer, he could touch her lips, and he clearly remembered that soft touch.

And then... and then...

"Yato, what are you... trembling for?"

Kanna Yoshiki took a step back with a grimace, looked puzzled at Yato who had started to get sick for no reason, stretched out both hands to slap his face and rubbed it twice, but after rubbing, she suddenly remembered Before he was stabbed in the hospital, the pain was so painful that he stopped quickly, leaned forward and asked eagerly——

"It's not a sequela, is it?!"

"I...I'm just talking!!" Yetou, whose face was flushed, was sweating profusely on his forehead, and his whole body was in a state of anxiety.

"...Ah?!" Kanagi twitched the corner of his mouth, did he really overwork himself these two days?

"It doesn't matter." Ye Dou swallowed, grabbed her hand and put it on his body, but he still opened and closed his mouth for a long time before making a sound, "Axi, I..."

But there was no second half of the sentence, and the words he finally finished combining were cut off in half.

"..."

A strange feeling crossed his mind, Yato stopped, let go of his hand and turned his head to look at the window, a strong uneasiness flashed in his suddenly widened blue eyes, and after a while, he called out a name——

"Hongyin..."

"Mr. Hirono?" Kanaki was stunned for a moment, and also turned to look out the window, but found nothing unusual, but something serious must have happened to make Yato show such an expression.

Yato didn't answer, just shook his head and muttered to himself: "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..."

"What's going on?" Seeing Yato like this, the uneasiness in Kanaki's heart also began to swell.

"..."

"Let me answer you." Instead of Yato, there was a smiling female voice, and her feet on clogs landed on the window sill. Under the night, that delicate girl like a doll appeared again, with a still Holding a red pomegranate as bright as blood.

"Meet you again, TOGA..." She greeted Kanaki with a smile, but she paused strangely when she called her name, and said, "Axi."

"Nora."

"...You guys know each other?" Kanagi turned to look at Yato when he heard that, but the latter frowned displeasedly, staring at the girl standing on the window sill.

Yato didn't answer her, but continued to say to the girl with a sullen face, "Didn't you promise not to come here again?"

"It's too much, Yato." The corner of the girl's mouth was still curled up, and she didn't seem to blame at all, "I came here to tell you...but you should have noticed it."

"..."

She raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a laugh: "Hong Yin has become like me, he has become Nora."

"Nora?" Kanagi didn't understand the meaning of these two words, but in this way, it shouldn't be her name, but more like a title?

Yato squeezed his fist and asked, "... who is the other party?"

"But it's a surprising answer." She looked at Yato with a smile in her eyes, slightly lifted half of her face hidden behind her sleeve, and threw the red pomegranate in her hand to him——

"Ghost mother."
