Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Five.(1/2)
Kitagawaji and Ryoko Kawano chatted for a few more words before leaving.
But he did not visit the Inagaki family, but came to the ‘Inagaki’s long house’ again.
In Kitagawaji's sight, Kari Kari, who was wearing a ponytail and a small figure, was still standing by the path of the long house.
The other party was still wearing the little red and white torn cotton jacket, and his eyes were not stopped when he looked around.
Even though there were not many people coming and going here, she did not stop looking for a certain figure at all. She was a little lonely and lonely with a ragged hundred people and a card.
Then--
She saw the Kitagawa Temple coming from afar.
Kamiya Kamiya's face changed, and her small body turned around—
Click!!!
She fell heavily to the ground with familiar movements again, but she felt pain when she saw it at first glance.
The song cards fell all over the ground, and Kari Kari tried hard to pick them up, as if she was trying hard to escape from Kitagawa Temple. She didn't even bother to pick up the song cards that fell a little far away.
Then she felt herself rising from the air. When she reacted again, she had already found that she was being picked up from the ground by Kitakawaji like a kitten.
The other party's cold gaze made Kamiyo Kari's short body tremble.
With Kari Kamiya looking at her with a pale complexion, Kitagawaji just put her down and explained: "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you. I'm here just to pay back something."
"Return...return something?" Kari Kari, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Her round face wrinkled pitifully, and her neck was curled up, looking very scared.
"Yeah. I'll get something."
Kitagawa Temple picked up the song cards scattered on the ground and handed them to Kamiyo Kari with the song cards he had in his arms.
Kari Kamiyo also noticed this clearly.
Not only was she not happy that the lost song card returned to her hand, she even sagged her mouth and stood there and started crying.
"Big brother...Big brother just wants to drive away Xiangli! Xiangli knew it from the beginning! The black things on the big brother's body... are so terrible!"
While crying, her little shoulders were shaking, looking extremely sad.
No wonder she ran away from the beginning when she saw Kitagawaji.
It turned out that Kamiyo Kari had long noticed the dead aura on Kitagawa Temple.
She was afraid of being driven away by Kitakawa Temple and naturally ran away when she saw Kitakawa Temple.
Yesterday, she scared the "friends" of Kitakawaji Temple in the long house. Now she felt even more guilty when she saw Kitakawaji.
"I don't have that idea." Kitagawaji said as kind as possible.
Although it was still hard words, it did make Kamiyo Kari realize that the young man in front of him was indeed not malice.
She hesitated for a while before finally nodding gently and carrying the song card back into her arms carefully.
That pitiful look will soften anyone after seeing it.
Kari Kamiyo took the song card handed to her by Kitakawaji, and felt that it was not good to misunderstand others, so she put the song card in her hand on the ground, stretched out her little hand and patted the ragged cotton jacket she was wearing, and bowed seriously to Kitakawaji.
"I'm sorry, big brother."
She said hesitantly: "Yesterday, yesterday...I scared your friend. I'm really sorry."
Kari Kamiya also knew that Kitagawaji had to come and return the singing cards to her when she knew that she was the scary spirit that was yesterday, so she did not hide her identity and admitted it directly.
But what Kamiyo Kari didn't expect was that Kitagawa Temple in front of her waved his hand and said indifferently: "You don't need to apologize."
"Hey?" Kamiyo Kari opened her mouth wide, looking like she didn't understand the situation.
"I was not the one you scared, why did you apologize to me?" Kitagawaji asked back.
"But, but--" Kari Kamiyo's face turned red.
Can there be any such statement?
She couldn't help but grab her head when she was young.
"If you really want to apologize, they will apologize to you. After all, they entered the long house without your permission." Kitagawaji continued.
This completely confused Kari Kari Kari.
While waving her hands, she muttered, 'Not like this, not like this, not my long house, a quiet long house...'
quiet?
Listening to this person's name, Kitakawaji's expression moved slightly.
Could this person be the one who made an agreement with Kamiya Kari?
While thinking about it carefully, Kamiyo Kari here finally clarified her thoughts. She bowed to Kitagawa Temple again: "Anyway, I'm really sorry. I scared my brother, your friend. My brother is willing to return the song cards to me... Thank you so much."
Kamiyo Kari's little body bowed down, and shook with the worn red and white cotton jacket, looking even more pitiful.
Kitakawaji waved her hand and told her not to care and asked, "My name is Kitakawaji, what's your name?"
In fact, Kitagawaji knew the name of Kamiya Kari, but considering that this was the first time I communicated with the other party, it was indeed a bit abrupt when I suddenly called her name, so he asked a question knowingly.
"My name is Kamiya Kari." The little girl continued weakly.
After the two of them introduced themselves, Kitakawaji began to show their purpose. He asked:
"Xiangli, right? You should know your current state, right?"
Kamiyo Kari paused for a while before responding lightly: "...Yes."
A sad expression appeared on his little face:
"I should...because I've died long ago."
Yes, I have long been dead. This is an established fact.
Kitagawaji nodded: "Since you understand your situation, you will be much more likely to say next. The reason why you died in Kari... Do you still remember what it was?"
"...I forgot." Kari Kari shook her head and replied.
"Then why are you standing at the door of this abandoned long house with a song sign in your arms?"
Kitakawaji asked again.
"...Forgot." Kamiyo Kari stared at Kitagawaji's shadow and did not look up at him.
Her voice became very weak without realizing it.
"Forgot..." Kitakawaji pondered.
Under his deadly vision, Kari Kamiyo had a strong obsession.
And it was this obsession that led to her being trapped in this long house and unable to break free.
It is different from the saying "Dibi-Binding Spirit" in the comics. This obsession was imposed on her by Kamiyo Kari herself. It is different from the forced and inescapable effect of the Dibi-Binding Spirit. As long as she resolves the obsession in her spirit body, she will naturally be able to leave.
As the master of obsession, Kari Kari should know what her obsession is.
It was definitely not like she said ‘forgot’.
Combined with her current red ears, her eyes shifted, and her hands and feet trembled slightly, as if she was ashamed of her lying... she really concealed something.
But Kari Kari didn't want to tell Kitagawaji.
To be precise... I don't want to tell Kitakawaji that I just met.
"That's right. I understand. It's normal for too long to forget it easily." Kitagawaji nodded.
Kitakawaji didn't want to expose the other party's lies, even if Kamiya Kari really didn't know how to lie, Kitakawaji didn't want to expose the other party.
It may be simple and crude to make the topic tough and understand, but that is disrespectful to Kari Kamiyo.
“...Big Brother..."
Seeing that Kitagawaji had really ‘believed’ himself, Kamiyo Kari was stammering his lips.
She didn't know what to say.
In Kitagawa Temple's sight, this overly honest little girl had already felt ashamed and faint golden tears flowing from the corners of her red eyes.
This child is too honest.
Kitakawaji couldn't help but think.
It's just a lie.
This is an act that everyone has.
People who do not lie do not exist in this world.
And it is indeed the first time Kitakawaji has seen a little girl like her who looks like she wants to cry after telling a lie.
Such a cute and honest little girl should have enjoyed the fun of childhood at this age.
Instead of staying by the gloomy long house like now, wearing a tattered red and white cotton jacket, looking alone at the pedestrians to abide by the illusory promise.
"No matter what, I hope I can help you." Kitagawaji's eyes slowed down: "If you have something you remember, you can also try to ask me for help."
