The moonlight outside the window is bright and clear, not stained by dust.
When the light refracted through the glass and onto the walls of the room, there were only the shadows of Baiyunshan and Hashimoto Nanami, whose breathing had calmed down on the bed.
Mr. Hashimoto was under the moonlight, and there was no shadow. His translucent body seemed to disappear at any moment.
The room fell into silence again.
"So many things happened without me realizing it..."
After listening to Baiyunshan's narration, the sentimentality on Mr. Hashimoto's face became even more intense. He stood quietly for a long time before sighing in a low voice: "They have really suffered over the years -"
As he said that, he subconsciously raised his head and shifted his gaze to the girl's face. The expression in his eyes softened instantly. He sighed and said guiltily: "Especially the child Nanamin."
"As a teenage girl, she had to shoulder such a heavy burden early on. In the end, she even had to go to Tokyo to go to college alone and suffered so much. It was all my fault. It’s a father’s responsibility…”
"Don't say that, at least... you definitely don't want these things to happen, right?"
Baiyunshan comforted softly.
Mr. Hashimoto just smiled bitterly: "But even if I don't want to, these things still happened because of me, didn't they?"
This is indeed the case, even though Mr. Hashimoto's own death was an accident and could not be blamed on anyone. But because of his sudden death, the family was shrouded in depression for a long time, and the huge impact it had still remains to this day -
Girls are living examples.
Baiyunshan was silent, and then slowly said: "So, now that I have understood it, can you please tell me about the memories that occurred after your death? And -"
As he spoke, his voice paused: "——Why did you show up at this time?"
"I am not sure as well."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hashimoto was silent when he heard this, and then sighed and shook his head slightly: "If you die, you will die. How can you have any memory? The only memory is reluctance. I think, the reason why I Perhaps I failed to become a Buddha because my obsession was too great and I couldn’t let go of my wife and the others——"
"As for why it appears here—"
Having said this, Mr. Hashimoto suddenly had a look of confusion on his face, and then he seemed to think of something. His eyes slowly moved to Baiyun Mountain, and he said with some uncertainty: "I think... it may have something to do with you. ——”
"With me?"
Baiyunshan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and suddenly remembered something.
Yes, the last time I encountered this situation, I already gave an explanation. It seems that it was because of the system that it was so passive——
"...I vaguely remember that just about two days ago, I suddenly seemed to be able to feel something, and began to regain consciousness little by little. I would gradually wake up the next day, but yesterday it was interrupted. It’s—”
Baiyunshan recalled silently in his heart, and then he couldn't help but feel speechless, because this was probably related to the fact that he happened to go to a certain Hokkaido girl's room last night... Without him, Mr. Hashimoto's speed of regaining consciousness was naturally interrupted - —
"Then tonight, I felt that I was gradually regaining consciousness again, and it was more intense than the last time, so... it must have something to do with you -"
Mr. Hashimoto murmured thoughtfully, and then he seemed to remember something. He was stunned for a moment and said cautiously: "By the way, I still don't know your name. May I ask...what do you call me?"
"My name is Baiyunshan, just call me..."
Baiyunshan glanced at Hashimoto Nanami, who was lying on the bed quietly with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep. Her eyes softened and she said, "...just call me Baiyun-san."
"Baiyun Sang..."
Mr. Hashimoto followed his gaze and looked at his daughter. At this time, he gradually came to his senses and said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, can I ask, Baiyun-san, what are you... doing?"
The reason why Mr. Hashimoto did not get angry or directly rush to fight for his life was mainly because he was able to regain consciousness and dialogue because of others, and saw his daughter whom he had not seen for several years. Moreover, the fact that the other party was able to come to the study room that he used before his death, to a certain extent, already explained his relationship with his daughter, and there was no need to react too much——
So I'm just asking out of concern.
"I'm saving her."
Baiyunshan breathed a sigh of relief and looked down. By this time, the girl's complexion had gradually returned from pale to rosy, and her condition had almost been eliminated: "She suddenly had an outbreak of illness before, which was very serious. If we wait, Taking her to the hospital after the ambulance arrives may be life-threatening, so I just decided to help her treat it myself—"
"Oh, I see......"
Mr. Hashimoto nodded slightly when he heard this, but he didn't care about the explanation that the young man in front of him could help cure the disease by just putting a finger on his daughter's forehead, which seemed so funny at first glance——
After all, it was only because of the other party that I was able to appear in my current form. Even if I became a ghost, what else could I not believe?
Baiyunshan continued: "But fortunately, the treatment is almost complete. In a short while, her condition will be completely fine."
"That's good, that's good, thank you..."
Mr. Hashimoto breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he heard the other party say again.
"It's just that physical illnesses can be treated and eliminated, but mental illnesses are not that easy -"
Mr. Hashimoto was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Baiyunshan took a deep look at him and said, "Mr. Hashimoto, you should also be aware of the consequences of your sudden death -"
Mr. Hashimoto was stunned.
"Because of your sudden death, the Hashimoto family's family situation plummeted, and all kinds of troubles and difficulties followed one after another. But although these are important, they can be viewed calmly and there is no need to worry. Because as time changes, wait until After your daughter grows up and becomes an excellent idol, these financial problems will be easily solved."
"so--"
As he spoke, Baiyunshan sighed and said, "What's more important is the impact on the spiritual level."
"Perhaps you don't know it yourself, but the scene when you passed away in the hospital has already left a lingering imprint on your daughter's memory. Even when her condition suddenly went out of control and her memory was confused, what was going on in her mind What happened is still what happened at that time, and I am deeply resistant to it——"
"This has become a different level of illness."
Mr. Hashimoto’s lips trembled and trembled for a moment, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word.
He can naturally understand what Baiyun Mountain means.
Strong guilt suddenly surged into his heart. He could not have imagined that what his death caused was not a tearing pain, but a stabbing pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Even now, his daughter is still suffering from pressure and pain because of herself and has not been relieved.
"So, can I ask you a favor?"
Baiyunshan spoke softly.
Mr. Hashimoto straightened his stooped waist and looked into his eyes.
The cold moonlight shone on the bedside, and Bai Yunshan had a complex expression on his face. He looked at the girl's face quietly and whispered: "It's for your daughter and for me, okay?"
