403 Say goodbye to high school career, there will be a new life after that
March in Japan is the season when cherry blossoms bloom.
It is also graduation season.
On the last day of March, Hualing High School held its graduation ceremony.
Kamiyagawa hasn't been to school for a long time since he received the status of "special student" from the countermeasures room.
However, I just started to conquer Kamui these days, and he happened to be free, so he went to school on the day of the graduation ceremony.
School auditorium.
The boys all put on shirts and school uniforms and suits, and most of the girls carefully put on delicate light makeup.
Kamiyagawa, who was wearing a formal suit, was sitting in his class.
There were several classmates nearby talking to him in low voices——
"Eh? Did you go to Tokyo University as a top student? Dongda University, I'm so envious."
"No wonder Kamiya-kun hasn't come to school recently."
"Yokai studies? I don't think I've heard of this major. Ah...folklore studies? It sounds awesome. Most people can't do this, right? Is Kamiya-kun doing research in this area? No wonder you always look so busy.
."
"..."
On the stage in the auditorium, a bald principal patted the microphone and cleared his throat, and the students who were whispering quieted down.
"Answer, Naoya Suzuki, representative of the graduating class."
"exist."
A girl in the audience stood up and walked slowly to the stage.
"Answer:"
"Today, as usual, I walked along the road that used to lead to the campus. From the aroma of flowers and the sound of chestnuts, I could feel the coming of spring. I sighed, it's great, this year's cherry blossoms are blooming as scheduled."
"Three years ago, I put on the high school uniform that I had always dreamed of and walked through the main entrance of the school with uneasiness. At that time, I never thought that those unknown names I saw on the bulletin board for the first time would become the names I saw in the classroom in the future.
Here, after school and during club activities, I called out my name countless times, and I will never forget it in my life."
"And such a smooth sailing campus life was suddenly interrupted today, like a blow to the head..."
Kamiyakawa sat in the audience, listening to the graduation speech of the student representative, but he didn't show too many expressions like the classmates around him.
Strictly speaking, he only attended Hualing High School for one year.
Although he spends most of his time alone, his personality is not a sinister one and is even quite cheerful.
As long as you put in some effort, there will be no problem in getting along with others.
If it weren't for loading up the Kaidan game, there are some more important things to do. It would be possible to use this year and the original good appearance to make a new debut in high school, adjust the image of the previous two years, and become a "popular fried chicken".
possible.
Overall, he got along well with his classmates this year.
Even if I don’t have a deep friendship with anyone.
Suzuki classmate on the stage continued to speak: "...Time has never been so stingy as it is now, not even a minute is left to us. We always think that we have grown up, and we always think that we can not care, but now
When separation comes so reluctantly, I feel extremely lonely inside."
"Youth is the secret itself. Let us understand how precious and how happy the daily life is. No matter how many sad and sad things we have experienced, the ones who can save us at any time are always the best companions.
Smiley face.”
"Growing up brings us not only loss, but also gain in exchange for many important things. We hereby swear that we will actively and firmly move towards adulthood..."
…
The ceremony is over.
Kamiyagawa took a group photo with his classmates in his class.
Japanese high schools are quite strict in a sense.
Anyway, as far as Hualing High School is concerned, there are clear requirements for daily wear, shoes, and socks. Some schools even have regulations on the color of underwear. Moreover, because the graduation formal attire is rarely worn, some schools will recycle it.
Will be sold to new students at low prices.
Therefore, it is still relatively rare in Hualing High School for boys to give the second button on their school uniforms, which is closest to the heart, to the girl they like, or for classmates to sign each other's clothes as souvenirs.
The atmosphere of graduation is normal and a little melancholy.
After feeling the atmosphere of separation, Kamiyagawa walked out of the classroom alone while others were talking.
He went to the health room.
When he first came to this world, Kamiya liked coming to the health room.
As usual, there is a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, but it's not unpleasant.
No one was seen in the health room today.
The beautiful health teacher Yui Mikami, who has a good relationship with Kamiya and usually likes fishing, did not stay here.
Maybe he was taking photos with the students somewhere in the school.
Kamiya walked to the corner of the health room naturally and familiarly, and came to the mini refrigerator where Mr. Mikami stored fish snacks.
He opened the refrigerator and put a small paper bag in.
The bag contains two daifuku that I just bought from the confectionery shop Okaku Tamaya today.
Kamiyagawa left a note in Daifuku's bag, without writing a signature, just saying:
[Mikami-sensei, do you want some strawberry daifuku?]
After leaving the health room, Kamiyagawa went to the roof of the teaching building.
Like Mr. Yui Mikami's place, the rooftop is also a place he often goes to at Karin High School.
The view here is very broad.
Looking down from above, you can see the cherry blossom forest and artificial lake.
Shen Gu was in a daze here for a while, and suddenly felt someone coming up from the corridor from a distance.
He turned his head and saw Kido Keiko walking towards him.
This girl was one of the few people Kamiyagawa left a deep impression on at Karin High School.
She confessed to herself...
And it happened to be Mr. Kido’s daughter who was in the haunted house at Ji-kyu Hospital.
In addition, when the breeder's "flower seeds" broke out, a seed ghost also appeared in Kido Keiko's body, and it was a Futakuchi girl. Judging from the subsequent situation, the Futoko girl should be Kido Keiko's late mother.
For a long time after that, Kido did not appear in the school.
It seems that he was sent to Honganji Temple.
Her father is still rich after all, and the monks in Honganji Temple have been using relatively mild Pure Land sect magic to purify Kido Keiko's Futakunu.
Judging from the fact that Kido Keiko can now appear at school at the graduation ceremony, the futakuchi girl in her has either been eliminated or rendered harmless.
In this regard, Kamiya himself prefers the latter.
Because when he narrowed his pupils slightly and looked at Keiko Kido, he could still feel the aura of kaidan that contained the power of gentle magic from her.
"Kamiya-san, so you are here."
Kido Keiko said this.
She gives people a slightly different feeling than before.
How should I put it? Maybe it’s because she’s wearing formal attire, so she doesn’t have the same hot girl demeanor as before. Maybe it’s not just the effect of the change in clothes, but her own aura seems to have also changed to a certain extent.
After experiencing some big events, people will always change.
"Well, long time no see, Kido-san."
Kamiyagawa’s [Seven Emotions Magatama] is still quietly hanging in the haunted house of Kido Keiko’s house to cultivate love cores, so he has a good attitude towards others.
"You like to go to the rooftop very much."
Kido walked to Kamiya's side, held his hand on the railing, and took a deep breath.
"You know this as well?"
"After all, I have been observing you secretly before. In fact, I have been observing you since the second grade, but I quietly did not tell anyone around me, nor did I admit it to them. Then when I was in the third grade, I felt that your character
It seems that something has changed, but I still go around alone.”
"oh……"
"Actually, I still think Kamiya-kun in second grade... was better for me to get in touch with. People always want to be close to you and take care of you at that time. Sorry, sorry, I'm not saying that your change is not good. It's just that after that,
You seem to have become... how should I put it, very dazzling, and I feel inferior even if I get even slightly closer to you. Especially after experiencing the ghost collision before and learning about your other side."
"That's not the case." Kamiyagawa shrugged his shoulders.
That meeting in second grade...
So, girl.
The person you were initially interested in was not me.
When I was in second grade, this body was not yet under my control.
If you had taken the initiative to contact "me" at that time, you might have been able to redeem the original owner of this body.
Kamiya thought this way, but he didn't worry too much about it.
It is not up to him to interfere with the past, the past is the past.
The "I" now is me.
"Kamiya-kun, I heard that you are going to Tokyo University?"
"Well, for some reasons, I got the qualification to study monster studies."
"Eastern University, it's really good. Moreover, youkai studies are really in line with your style."
Kido Keiko was one of the few people in the school who knew the identity of Kamiyagawa Spirit Exterminator. When she heard about this profession, she was not as surprised as others.
"What about you? I mean your university."
"I originally applied for Waseda, but... failed."
"ah……"
Kamiyakawa didn't know how to answer the call.
It seems that life is not always as expected. For Kido Keiko, the story of the bottom hot girl counterattacking did not happen.
"Don't show such an expression. Studying is very difficult, especially for me who never worked hard before. But it's okay. I'm going to repeat my studies. The application for repeat studies has been approved. I'm close to being admitted to Waseda.
, In fact, it’s only a little bit short. If you work hard this year, you might have a chance.”
After Kido Keiko met the spirit, she often stayed at Honganji Temple.
However, I did not miss any study during this period.
Kamiyagawa's joking words, coupled with the previous rescue of Chu Ling, had an unexpectedly large impact on her.
At least, become better and won't be too ashamed when facing him.
"Then please work hard."
Kido Keiko turned her head, and the wind on the rooftop blew her carefully taken care of her hair: "Well. If I get admitted to Waseda next year, can I contact you and let you know? Although at that time, you are probably already enjoying your new university.
Live."
"As long as you want, of course you can."
"Hey, I didn't expect Kamiya-san to be quite gentle. I didn't feel it before."
"Well……"
This is not because I am unlikely to come into contact with you in the future, so it doesn’t matter...
"Kamiya-kun, thank you."
"Thank me for what? I saved you before?"
"Of course it includes that matter, but there are also other things, such as... thank you for not accepting my confession before."
"Ah this..."
"Sorry, I seemed to have said something strange. But, that's what I really thought." Kido Keiko raised her hand and smoothed her hair.
You can see that she is wearing a light-colored prayer beads bracelet on her right wrist.
Kido Keiko: "Although it may be a bit narcissistic to say this, because I have a good appearance, I was still somewhat popular among boys. When I confessed to you, I even felt that I was sure. But after being rejected by you, I stood still
I looked at myself in front of the mirror. That’s when I realized that I didn’t have good academic performance, I didn’t have any talents, and I wasn’t a very interesting person.”
"I am playful and lazy, and it seems like I have nothing to do."
"Then for a while, I felt that I could impress you with my sincerity. So I sent you a lot of messages before, but I'm not a frivolous girl? No. That was a serious secret love for two years... It's just that
Sometimes, I feel as if the only thing I can use is sincerity."
"Later, when my mother appeared by my side and I saw you, I realized that sincerity may not have any effect on you. It turns out that we are completely from two different worlds. It turns out that you are still there, which is unimaginable for ordinary people and cannot be imagined.
Touch the other side.”
"So I thought, at the very least, I should become better so that my crush wouldn't look too ridiculous. I thought that one day I could be proud to tell you - look, I'm actually quite good."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kido Keiko said quietly, and then the girl who had changed a lot raised her head and looked straight at Kamiya: "Kamiya-kun. Graduation season, it seems
It’s very suitable for confession.”
"Well……"
Then, she shook her head again with a relieved expression: "However, who would shout and confess at this time like on TV? Anyway, I wouldn't. After all, I have been rejected once. It would be too embarrassing to do it again.
I’m sad. But, I can still face my feelings directly——"
"Because my mother told me that it is not shameful for a girl to like someone, especially if she likes someone who can make her better."
"Hey, Mr. Kamiya, I hope you will be safe in the future. I hope I can see you become a more powerful and dazzling person in the future. Your words will definitely make it happen."
After Kido Keiko finished speaking, she probably planned to leave.
"I hope you can become a more powerful person in the future." Kamiya replied to her.
"I will work hard."
Kido Keiko waved her hands, turned around with a smile, and walked towards the stairs.
Kamiya watched her leave intently, and suddenly saw a shadow hovering behind Kido, transforming into a slightly thinner woman with a peaceful aura.
The hair on the back of the woman's head was flowing, and a large exposed mouth could be seen under the black hair.
The former two-person girl.
Futakuchi turned around, and her facial features were not as scary as those she had seen before. Instead, she was gentle and kind, and somewhat similar to Keiko Kido.
"Thanks……"
Futakuchi turned around, crossed her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly towards Kamiya.
Then, the figures of the mother and daughter disappeared together at the stairs.
The wind from the rooftop blew in my face, stroking the tips of Kamiya's bangs.
He inhaled and exhaled, turned around again, and looked down from this familiar place for the last time.
I saw students in formal attire walking in twos and threes in the direction of the cherry blossom forest in the distance, and saw clusters of pink petals shaking off in the warm spring breeze.
