calm down.

After all, he had blown up the headquarters of a cult and had seen corpses with his own eyes. Kagura Hikaru just rubbed his temples and recovered from the shock.

He had no doubt about what he saw in the prophecies, and so far the ability had demonstrated excellent accuracy.

Unless he deliberately went against the predicted future, that was what was bound to happen.

This should be some kind of calculation similar to "Laplace's Demon". Kagura Hikaru didn't understand the principle and didn't care, but since he saw what would happen in the future, he naturally felt that he should make plans for the corpse in the shrine maiden's costume.

In fact, judging from the fragments of the prophecy, things are already very clear.

The female corpse must have been thrown into the well a long time ago. Not only had all the flesh and blood fallen off, but the clothes on her body were also tattered and the shape could only be barely discerned. The color was even more old and deep.

This was undoubtedly a murder. After all, the well was sealed artificially, and the murderer was the person who sealed the well.

The smell of the corpse after it rotted was very bad, and if there was water under the well, the corpse would float up. He didn't believe that the person who sealed the well didn't notice it. This case was most likely done by that person, and the well was sealed to hide the corpse.

As for the identity of the murderer, Kagura Hikaru has already made a rough guess - the middle-aged man who was restrained by the police and collapsed on the ground is the most suspicious.

He had memorized the man's face. The town was not big, and most of the villagers would be at the funeral, so he could take the opportunity to find someone.

After that, use mind reading to interrogate the suspect and once you know exactly where the body is hidden, you can call the police.

The fact that he was present when the body was dug out as predicted meant that he would successfully catch the murderer in the future. All he had to do was to carry out his plan according to his own ideas, which made Kagura Mitsuru feel a little relieved.

A few hours later, it was already dusk and the Kagura family finally arrived at the rural town in Wakayama where their hometown was.

When getting off the bus, Kagura Mitsuru saw an old man coming out of his house to greet him.

That's Kagura Hikaru's grandmother.

He still remembers that every summer vacation when he returned to his hometown, his grandparents would wait for them at the door in advance, and he would see their smiling faces the first thing they did when they got off the car.

But today, he could only see one person.

The old man warmly welcomed Kagura Hikaru and others into his home, and soon, hot meals were served on the table.

At the dinner table, Kagura Hikaru saw his father carefully comforting his grandmother.

Grandpa was found dead in the morning, and grandma was sleeping in the same bed with him at the time, which might have left her with psychological trauma.

But grandma was unexpectedly open-minded and took the issue of life and death very lightly. She had been prepared for this a long time ago and even went on to comfort Kagura's father, whose eyes were already red.

While speaking, Kagura could see a hint of sadness in her grandmother's eyes.

Obviously, she wasn't completely without sadness.

In Kagura Hikari's eyes, his grandfather was a man with a scholarly temperament. He liked to recite poems, discuss politics, and buy snacks for Kagura Hikari. Every morning when he woke up, he could see him reading a book or playing shogi alone.

Occasionally, Grandpa would invite Kagura Hikaru to play chess with him, and Kagura Hikaru would always give in to him because he would get angry if he lost and was a terrible chess player.

But most of the time, Grandpa is a gentle man.

Thinking that she would never see such a person again, Kagura Hikaru couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart.

This is what death means.

After eating and washing up.

Kagura Hikaru returned to the room with wet hair and read a book while wiping her head with a towel.

The countryside also has its advantages, which is that real estate is cheap.

My grandparents' house is a self-built house, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "small villa" in Tokyo. Although it is not as high-end as the Kiryu family's apartment, it is still bigger than the Kagura family.

The room where Kagura Hikari is now is the room he often stays in when he returns to his hometown during the summer vacation. It is usually a guest room, but Kagura Hikari knows that his grandparents should treat this room as his exclusive room, and some of the personal belongings in the room that he didn't take away before are still in their original places. The environment in the countryside is good and quiet. If it were in Tokyo, you could often hear the sound of traffic even late at night, but now you can't hear it at all, at most there are only the sounds of insects and small animals.

This gave Kagura Hikaru, who was already used to the noise, a sense of freshness and she easily integrated into this quiet environment.

If you ignore the angle, it would be like Komori Ai who was so angry at the outrageous boss values ​​in the Ring of Magic DLC that she turned evil.

knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Kagura looked up, stood up and opened the door.

It's stepmother.

This surprised him a little.

"Well, that, Guangjun" The stepmother tangled her hands together, shrinking timidly, as weak as an elementary school student walking into the teacher's office.

Kagura Hikaru's eyes were puzzled, and then became calm: "What's the matter?"

"I" the stepmother opened her mouth, but when she saw Kagura Hikaru's eyes, she closed it in fear.

Kagura Hikaru gradually became impatient.

He knew that his stepmother was such a person, but that didn't mean he was willing to waste time on such meaningless eye contact.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't want to say it, you can wait until tomorrow."

".sorry!"

As if she had finally made up her mind, the stepmother lowered her head towards him and bent deeply.

Kagura Hikaru looked at her: "What does this mean?"

"Before in the car, I, I may have said something excessive."

Kagura Hikaru raised his eyebrows.

Is there? Why doesn't he remember?

After carefully searching his memory, Kagura Hikaru finally remembered that when he was getting into the car downstairs of Kiryu's house, his stepmother seemed to have vaguely prompted his mother.

One is her husband's original wife, and the other is his mistress. It is natural that the stepmother and Komatsu Risa have a bad relationship. Kagura Hikaru even feels that if nothing unexpected happens, they should have never met each other.

Even as Kagura Hikaru's stepmother, she has reasons to show hostility towards Komatsu Risa.

After all, when her stepmother was forced to leave Tokyo because her father broke his leg, she never thought that Risa Komatsu would come to "take over". She thought that Hikaru Kagura would be waiting for them at home alone, but she was kidnapped halfway.

From the stepmother's perspective, perhaps this is a form of territorial invasion.

She was worried that if Kagura Hikaru got close to his biological mother, she would hear bad things about her from the latter and then have an opinion about her.

After all, the stepmother was very clear that her seizure of the throne was not legitimate.

There was no need to read her mind. Kagura could tell what her stepmother was thinking just by looking at her expression and found it funny.

When did she develop the illusion that she had a good impression of her?

Indeed, my stepmother is a good person, gentle and kind, and she cooks delicious food.

Kagura Hikaru is not an ungrateful person, he is very grateful for his stepmother's kindness.

But Kagura Hikaru never forgot that she was also one of the culprits that led to her parents' divorce.

It probably takes a long way to truly forgive someone.
