16. The Fruit of Memory (7)(1/2)
When Ito Sewang met Tamamo, it was in Huangquan. At that time, she remained twelve years old before her death. She followed the goddess' order to meet Tamamo in the snowy mountains of Huangquan and sent him a letter.
The snow mountain in Huangquan is transformed, not the real snow mountain. Its Sewang had never been to the snow mountain during her lifetime. She just saw it from afar. Even though she yearned for it, her mother, who had always disciplined her a lot, would not let her take a step out of the house.
After coming to the Yellow Springs, because of the goddess's call, Shisewang was the first time she had transformed into a snow-capped mountain. Even the illusion made her excited!
Bringing letters and wrapping them in the cloak that the goddess gave to her, Shiwang headed to the snow-capped mountains with anticipation.
In addition to yearning for snow-capped mountains, he also has curiosity about Tamamomae.
She had heard of Tamamoma's deeds. It is said that it was a big monster that once caused trouble to Heian Kyo. Later, she was defeated by Onmyoji Abe Harumaki and sealed in a stone, which was the killing stone.
What she is going to see now is Tamamomae, who is said to be ranked among the three major Japanese monsters, as well as Shuitun Boy and Big Tengu. Just thinking about it makes people very excited!
Ito Sewang secretly guessed how beautiful and charming Tamamomae was, until she saw the real person. Suddenly she felt that the worldview was being blown away!
The man who stood in the snow in gorgeous clothes, with his every move... Yes, he was a man. The legendary Tamamomae who was in trouble with Heian Kyo was a man!
No, it wouldn't be so. Foxes and monsters have always been inseparable from gender. Both men and women are made up of their own wishes. However, the legend about Tamamoma has long been deeply rooted in her. So when she suddenly becomes a man, she is a little maladapted in any case.
"This is what the goddess asked me to give to you."
Ito Sewang did not forget his task and handed him the letter in his arms. Then he looked at him without blinking.
Tamamomae read the letter, frowned slightly between her eyebrows, then her eyes stayed on her for a few seconds, and then returned to the letter. The wrinkles between her eyebrows gradually smoothed out.
"What are you watching me do?"
Seeing her focused expression, Tamamomae couldn't help laughing.
Yisewang answered seriously: "You look so good!"
Such a blunt statement made Tamamo's lips bent. He squatted down, his eyes equal to the girl. His golden eyes were gentle and pity.
As soon as the fan was retracted, the tip of the fan hit the girl's hair.
The girl covered her head in pain and stared at Tamamomae angrily, "Why knock my head? It hurts!"
Tamamomae smiled and said, "Let you gain a memory! Don't talk like this in the future!" He stood up and touched the girl's head, "Does it still hurt?"
少女一撇嘴,放开自己的手,任他摸着,“不疼了.”
"That's good."
Itose Sewang doesn't understand, "It's wrong to say you're good-looking?"
Tamamomae shook his head and looked at the snow tip in the distance.
"Don't say whatever people ask you. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."
"But I'm praising you!"
"It's all the same! Because I'm really good-looking, you praised me. But if I look so hard to describe, wouldn't you also say it straight?"
Shiwang shook his head, "I don't know..."
Tamamomae smiled and turned his head, intending to change the subject, and asked her, "The goddess ordered you to come today, what did you say?"
His tone was filled with sadness.
When I heard this, I always felt a bad premonition. I shook my head, "No." Then I grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked, "What are you hiding from me?"
Tamamomae sighed and raised the letter in his hand, "The goddess asked me if I would like to be your father..."
Before he could finish his words, he was hugged by Shiwang.
The bright eyes were staring at him at this moment, "Will you? Will you be my father?"
Tamamomae was suddenly stunned, and his hands couldn't help but stroke the beautiful eyes.
"Nature...is willing."
What happened next was that Tamamomae took Shin-Wan and left the underworld and came to life. Like an ordinary twelve-year-old girl, Shin-Wan began to worry about daily homework and club activities.
When she arrived in high school, she began to have a rebellious period. Unlike ordinary children, she did not listen to discipline during the rebellious period. She was more profound and directly faced life and death.
After all, she is not a real girl. No matter how well she pretends to be, she is still a person who has experienced life and death and experiences underworld!
Why is she still alive?
Why not die with your mother?
Didn’t you agree to accompany her?
With these questions in mind, Ito Sewang began a suicide journey. She was not afraid of death and even had some expectations. So much so that she was treated as a problem girl in school and invited her parents several times.
Tamamomae saw her, but she couldn't say anything serious. Iyanami said about her very much in her letter, so he always felt pity for her. He really lived in the role of "Iose Father".
The Suicide, who turned on the suicide mode, lived in despair just like her name. She had almost forgotten that her life was in the hands of the goddess. As long as the goddess disagreed, even if she picked up a knife and stabbed her heart, she would be resurrected in full blood in the next second!
She didn't understand the goddess's idea either, so she clearly agreed to accompany her forever!
Until one day, she met Professor Guiyong.
It was a very ordinary afternoon when I met Professor Takanaga, which was by a river in Tokyo.
Professor Guiyong, who had just participated in an academic research seminar at Dongda University, came to the river to fish with fishing gear on his back. From a distance, he saw the color of the squint tree hanging on the crooked neck by the river, which was swinging with the wind, which was not terrifying!
Professor Guiyong was shocked and let go of the fishing gear and ran to her. This was not easy for him who had entered the middle-aged and elderly stage.
He said nothing, rescued the man from the rope, and pinched him to the man desperately until the lying man gasped!
Because he didn't bring his cell phone, he didn't have time to call an ambulance. He woke up and felt relieved. He didn't ask anything, but turned around to get the fishing gear and continued his original plan. As for Shise, he was left in place. He didn't mean to ask the other party after saving the person. He was incredibly calm.
"Don't you ask me?"
Yisewang covered his neck and came to him, squatting down and looking at the shimmering waves on the river.
It was spring, and new buds were leaping on the grass. Even the crooked tree had buds, looking quite alive. The breeze made people intoxicated. The color of the hair was smooth and the face reflected in the river was looking at the faces reflected in the river.
"Then do you want to say it?"
贵永教授没有看着她,而是眯着眼睛望着河里的鱼线.
"I want to say it, but I don't know what to say."
Yisewang simply sat down, his tone a little confused.
"Then just pick some things up."
...
She actually didn't understand why she sat by the river and chatted with the elderly. She didn't even tell her experiences with the other party without even being alert. Some strange and sad experiences were a bit strange.
"Then do you hate her?"
Yise looked blankly, shook her head, nodded again, and shook her head again, and in the end she didn't know anything about it.
"I don't know." She said honestly.
"This name should not be your real name, right?"
“…Yes. I took it myself.”
Professor Guiyong sighed, "Just talking about the name, you seem to be resentful. But in terms of behavior, you love her again..."
"It's hard to solve!"
After all, only Shi Honest knows whether you hate him or not!
Others just learn their own guesses from her actions or words.
"But, if you say it's now, you should hate it. Those who take other people's lives without authorization should be resentful..."
Before dark, Professor Guiyong left, carrying a bucket of water without fish.
Ito Sewang stood alone by the river, standing for a long time until Tamamo came to pick her up.
Tisewang asked, "Do you hate the gods very much?"
Tamamomae didn't know why she asked this question and said, "I used to hate it."
At that time, he was taken away by the gods, and after that, the two children died one after another, and the culprit was the gods! How could he not hate him?
"What about now?"
"Just say I don't have a good impression."
After revenge, my heart was left with emptiness.
Ito Sewang looked at the river again. Tamamomaki took her hand and said, "Go back, it's cold."
Since that day, Ito Sewang temporarily cut off his idea of suicide. He went to school for the exam like an ordinary high school student. Because he knew that Professor Takanaga was at Yokohama National University, he was admitted to Yokohama National University.
She was in college for four years, but she went to school for several years. After she became an adult, she no longer grew up and aging, so she told everyone that she was a student of the National University. Later, she worked as a tutor with the recommendation of Professor Takanaga, which is now Yukio Hiyama.
Until last year, under the persuasion of Professor Guiyong, who had retired, he finally decided to graduate. He was then recommended to Bingdi Academy to teach in it.
It can be said that in this world, except Tamamomae, Professor Takanaga is the person she is willing to obey. Now when he hears the news of his death, no matter how calm the Shi Hope remains, there will be a hint of clue.
Students can't see it during class, but how could Dazai Osamu, who is good at observing people, not be able to see it?
Even if "a thing that is inevitable for people", if you really encounter it, you will resent injustice!
Humans are such species.
