Is it really a straight girl?

"If the living go close to the phantom of the dead, crying and hugging, the phantom ghost will devour the living as food, but it has no power in itself. As long as it is recognized, ordinary people can easily kill it."

... Is this a ghost story from somewhere?

However, what Ms. Chitose said based on the story, Yaki felt a little more believable.

"Oh." The girl nodded blankly.

"However, the difficult part is." Chitose continued: "After recognizing the phantom ghost, you must not be confused. You must have the determination to kill this ghost, and you must also have the determination to kill the friend that the phantom ghost has transformed into. determination... or rather, hope that it dies rightly."

"Only in this way can we really kill that phantom ghost and save more people."

Unlike the riddlemen in the past, today's Chitose explained it very clearly.

"Oh……"

Miki nodded.

However, no matter what Chitose said, Yaki didn't want to deal with this kind of thing.

So refuse to refuse!

"However, even if this kind of phantom ghost really exists, it will never find Miji at all." The girl with purple night hair shook her head, causing the long hair behind her to sway slightly, and said: "The one who is close to Miji Everyone is still healthy!"

Except for the mother whom she has never met, Miki's life can be regarded as relatively happy.

Therefore, even if there is such a ghost, Ya Ji will not encounter it.

"En." Chitose also nodded in acknowledgment.

"That's right, so Miss Chitose, please don't hand me a pistol like Miki." The girl waved her hand and stood up again: "Tomorrow Miki will get up early to make breakfast, if there is anything important, please talk about it tomorrow Let's go~"

I want to ask Chitose to leave, and then take a bath in the room, sleep, and a new day will be waiting for me.

And more importantly, when facing Chitose, Mi Ji always had a sense of uneasiness, which kept emerging in his chest.

This weird sixth sense kept stimulating the skin, like a premonition, and penetrated the suppressed feeling into Mi Ji's heart little by little.

"Miss, do you think I'm a friend, or someone close?" Chitose did not respond to Mi Ji's words.

Her empty left hand tapped on the side of her cheek, pointing at herself.

"Hey...why do you ask this suddenly, of course it is." Miki replied without thinking too much.

After answering, Yaji realized that what the other party seemed to be talking about was related to her own terminal illness.

Because Yaji just said that people close to him are healthy now, so is Chitose thinking too much?Because she's not actually healthy?

After the girl figured this out, she sat down again, lightly touched her chest with five fingers of her left hand and nodded earnestly to the other party: "Although we have only known each other for a few days, Miss Chitose is also a very close friend of Mi Ji."

It's just that sometimes it may be too close.

Last night, when Mi Ji was drunk, I hugged Mi Ji to watch a movie together, and there was a lot of physical contact... Mi Ji did not forget about this matter, and he had to avoid it in the future.

"Well, that's good." Chitose smiled, and naturally lifted the silver-gray gun in his right hand.

Seeing Chitose's tiny movement, the spreading uneasiness suddenly pulled the beating of the heart, and the feeling of depression spread in the flowing blood.

The sixth sense keeps reminding myself that something bad is about to happen.

Miki had never felt this way before.

But why now?Right now, he's just chatting normally with Chitose.

The girl quietly closed her eyes, and lightly clenched her left hand against her beating heart, feeling the oppression within.

But why is this so?Is Yaki afraid of the existence of ghosts, or is he loathing guns? .

I can't understand myself anymore.

"Then, as a friend, please promise me one thing, okay?" Chitose whispered.

The weird feeling became more and more obvious, and Miki even felt a ray of pain in this oppressive feeling.

This feeling made her a little confused and uneasy.

By the way, what topic are you and Chitose talking about now?

Why does the more Miki chats, the more he feels that something bad is approaching?

"Okay...?" Mi Ji frowned, confused by her own feelings.

"No matter what, this pistol will stay with you." She looked at the gun in her right hand and said softly: "I hate phantom ghosts very much. If Miji sees phantom ghosts later, please do your best to let her Die, okay?"

"..."

"Can you?" Chitose repeated, looking at Yaki.

Her smile was gone.

The feeling of natural relaxation is also gone, but there is a similar feeling again.

Is this... relief?

Ms. Yaki, who is more sensitive to temperament changes, thought so.

But why are you relieved?

Unable to find an answer, the girl decided to respond first.

"Yes." Feeling the depression in his heart, Mi Ji replied, "As long as there is no danger as Chitose said, of course it is possible."

"Well, I promise." Chitose nodded.

The premonition is getting stronger.

"When you go out in a few days, the phantom ghost should come to you, please kill her then." Chitose even bowed to Miji very politely: "This is my wish, please do as I wish Bar."

Speech has pauses.

"...But, why did it come to Miki? Everyone around Miki is clearly alive..."

Confusion once again spread in the emotions.

"Can you grant me this wish first?" Chitose was like before, not listening to Miji's words at all.

"It is possible, but..." Mi Ji said blankly: "But there is no reason for things like phantom ghosts to appear beside Mi Ji, right?"

"There will be."

"Eh……?"

"There will be a reason." The voice was hoarse this time.

Chitose lowered his head to the right, and looked at the pistol held in his right hand.

……

310 Seven, Hanamizuki (seven)

Confusion surrounded the girl's heart.

Surrounding it like an unexplorable mist, as long as the sun of truth has not appeared, no matter what method is used, this layer of confusion cannot be shaken.

Can't see through, can't guess.

Miss Chitose, what are you going to do, why are you talking about such a strange thing with Yaki.

And why, the depression in the heart turned into a dull pain?

Breathing began to become disordered.

The girl tilted her head slightly, and looked at Chitose's slightly lowered pale gold eyes with hesitation and confusion.

At the same time, the sound of heartbeat can not be suppressed ringing in the ears.

The ability to think is delayed and dismembered in this dull pain.

"Miss Chitose...what are you going to do?" Mi Ji asked nonchalantly, subconsciously pressing her left hand against her chest.

"Oh, um." The white-haired Chitose seemed to have just woken up from his own world, and when he looked up at Yaki, he forced a smile.

At least from Mi Ji's perspective, there was no smile in the other party's eyes.

"I want to say something." She confided in such a hoarse language: "When I say this, please don't interrupt or stop me, and please don't get excited, because... I have made such a determination .”

"Eh?"

Really, I'm a little confused.

Miss Chitose, what are you talking about now?

Thoughts became hazy as if drunk, but the premonition became stronger, but Yaki was unable to analyze the cause of this premonition through thinking.

The dull pain has now turned into palpitations again.

"Do not.."

Ms. Yaki opened her mouth to speak lightly based on a premonition, but she didn't know what she was trying to stop Chitose from.

"Please don't be too sad and worried, this is my wish." Chitose continued.

desire?what wish?

"I told you before, miss, that I have a terminal illness, right?"

Mi Ji frowned slightly, and his thoughts began to become chaotic.

Wave after wave of premonitions are rushing to my mind along with the frequency of my heartbeat.

"It seems... said?" Mi Ji pressed his temple, barely able to make such a daily question and answer.

"Well, this terminal illness makes me very tired, so I want to give up." Chitose said bluntly.

"Give up...Give up?" Mi Ji still couldn't figure out the meaning of this word in his mind.

"Yes, give up." Chitose closed his eyes and raised his head to let the indifferent pale light shine on his face: "Every minute and every moment I feel is a complete emptiness, and the sense of existence that I recognize and embrace will disappear with time." Time fades away little by little, until I don’t know what existence is. Watching the people I know keep leaving, I have always been like a lonely person walking an endless road in the dark.”

"This journey is long and long-lasting. What I want is no longer the beautiful scenery along the way, nor is it to meet someone who is worthy of my heart. My soul is exhausted. I am... very tired, very tired, So now, I just want an end." She sighs.

"..."

Miki who was sitting was silent.

Such a long paragraph, in the current state, she was somewhat unable to understand.

Miss Chitose raised her head and stretched her empty left hand towards the light source, and gently grabbed it.
