Chapter 5 Sometimes happiness is that simple

The next day, Shinji Kanbara sat in front of the computer in the study and yawned.

He didn't sleep all night.

It's not about reading and studying, but reading some thrillers and horror novels to gain experience for writing urban legends in the future.

This situation has been going on for more than half a month.

This is also the reason why he sleeps every time he comes to school, but the teachers and students are not surprised.

Because it was like this when Kanbaru Shinji was a freshman in high school. Of course, it was not like this in junior high school. After all, his father was still alive when he was in junior high school.

After becoming an orphan a year ago, the original owner gave up on himself. He went home every day to play games online and went to bed when he got to school.

The teacher understood the situation and wanted to enlighten him. But obviously the effect was not good. As time went by, he could only sigh helplessly and just ignored it.

After frying himself two poached eggs and making a glass of milk, Shinji Kambara picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go to school after finishing breakfast.

"Onii-chan!"

As soon as he went out and locked the door, he heard a familiar voice. He looked to the side and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old Luoli, but the other person looked at him eagerly, looking a little disappointed.

"Junko, good morning."

After saying hello with a smile, Shinji Kanbara also looked to the side. He found some uniformed moving company employees moving things from inside the room.

"Good morning, Kanbaru-kun, I didn't disturb you." At this time, a gentle and virtuous wife walked out of the room.

Although Kojima Nami still looks haggard, her eyes are bright and she is much better than before.

"No, I'm just going to school." Shinji Kambara said with a slightly curious expression, "Sister Kojima, are you moving?"

Shinji Kanbara had just traveled through time a month ago, and after learning a little about this world, when he was thinking about how to write his first urban legend, it was the Kojima family next door who made him make the decision.

At that time, mother and daughter Nami Kojima and Junko were still victims of domestic violence.

At that time, every time he came back in the afternoon, he would see Nami Kojima, whose eyes were dull and numb. She would even accidentally hit the wall when she went downstairs to throw away trash.

It's like an empty shell, a walking corpse without a soul.

Shinji Kanbara was familiar with this mother and daughter because every time her husband was violent, Nami Kojima would ask Junko to escape.

Because the husband went crazy and even his daughter would be beaten.

One time, the husband of the other party chased Junko out of the house and wanted to drag Junko back. He happened to go out and wanted to buy something in the supermarket when he saw Junko crying and shouting.

He was upset at the time, so he beat the other person up and then called the police.

But after all, it was a family matter belonging to the Kojima family. When the police came, they just mediated for a while and then ignored it.

During those days, Junko would always run to his house to avoid the limelight... It was also during those nights that he wrote "The Sight Between the Cracks".

Of course, he did not let Kojima's husband see the photo immediately. Instead, after a week, he accidentally let him take a look.

Just three days later, news came that Kojima's husband had committed suicide at the company.

Without her husband's violence, Kojima Nami has gradually regained her vitality, and recently she can see a smile on her face from time to time.

As for the sadness of her husband's death, she may have felt it before. But every fistfight was a waste of emotion. Nami Kojima no longer has any emotion for her husband.

"Thank you Kambara-kun for taking care of me before." Kojima Nami bowed slightly, her eyes were bright and she smiled, "I plan to take Junko back to my hometown. After all, the rent in Meguro District is a bit expensive."

Shinji Kanhara nodded, indeed.

The housing prices in Meguro Ward are among the top five in Tokyo, and they are gradually rising every year.

Fortunately, the father of the original owner of the house he lives in has already paid off the mortgage. Otherwise, he would probably have to move.

"Do you need help?"

"No need, there are people from the moving company, that's enough." Nami Kojima looked at Shinji Kanbara carrying his schoolbag, and said quickly, "It's getting late, it's almost time for class, you should go to school quickly.

Junko, come and say goodbye to big brother."

Junko looked at Shinji Kanbara reluctantly. At the age of twelve, she knew that she might never be able to see her elder brother again after this separation. Thinking about it, tears flowed from her eyes, and she stared at Shinji Kanbaru with watery eyes, her voice choked with sobs.

He said, "Goodbye, Onii-chan."

"Goodbye, if you have any troubles, you can call me on the phone." With a slight smile, Shinji Kambara said nothing more and entered the elevator with his schoolbag in hand.

The moment the elevator door closed, he could hear Junko crying loudly and Kojima Nami's comforting voice.

For some reason, Shinji Kanbara's mood suddenly became happy.

I had been reading the stories of the perpetrators from my notebook, which was depressing.

But now he understands from reality that after the death of the abuser, he has saved a family in disguise, and he feels much better.

Sometimes happiness is that simple.

As for Junko, maybe he will forget about him after he returns to his hometown and goes to a new school and meets new friends.

Thinking about it, Shinji Kanbara felt a little disappointed. After all, he had traveled through time before and suffered from the pressure of death, but it was the well-behaved Junko who made him relax.

Soon, he came to the school.

As usual, when class started, he lay down on the table and fell asleep. He sat in the last seat and the teacher didn't bother to care about him.

Sleeping time passed quickly. When he heard the school bell, Shinji Kanhara stretched as usual, packed his things and went straight out of the classroom door.

The Ghost Club is a club that the original owner joined a year ago. He did not quit the club even though he traveled through time. After all... wouldn't he be good at a small game studio?

You can also relax your tense spirit in the club.

"Hello, senior, can you ask me a question?"

Arriving at the club classroom building, before going upstairs, I heard a voice. I turned my head slightly and it was a first-grade boy.

The reason why I know the grade is because every grade in Yingqiu High School has slightly different uniforms.

The brooch on the chest of the first grade uniform is orange, the second grade is bright yellow, and the third grade is dark blue. The girls' uniform is reflected on the ribbon.

"What's the matter?" Kanbaru Shinji said calmly.

"Senior, do you know which floor the Ghost Club is on?"

Hearing this, he looked at the other person up and down and found that the other person was wearing glasses, his face was slightly round, and his eyes flashed with wisdom from time to time.

"Come with me." Shinji Kanbara said directly, "You are lucky, I happen to be a member of the Ghost Club."

When Kaito Uesaki heard this, he was surprised and quickly followed in the footsteps of Shinji Kanbara.
