Chapter 74: The Cemetery Where No One Will Come Again

"Oh?" Yuuri turned around and looked, then sighed happily, staring straight ahead. Senju also wanted to see what it was, but Chito had already stopped the car.

After the three of them got out of the car, Senju realized that there was a familiar stone statue in front of them, with a cylindrical body and a slightly curved head.

"Oh, the mysterious stone statue!" Yuuri stood in front of the stone statue and cheered, then extended her hand to Chito, "Chii-chan, camera, camera, hurry up! I'm gonna take a picture!"

Chito then passed the camera Yuuri, who then started taking pictures of the stone statue.

While taking pictures, she talked to the stone statue, "It's been a while, long time no see."

"You really like this statue." Senju watched Yuuri go around and take pictures of the stone statue, feeling a little emotional about her hobby.

Although Senju had little to no interest in the statues, he did find it odd why they were built.

Senju had taught Yuuri how to draw funny.

'How about the avatar.' Senju thought with some anticipation.

"Because the shape is great and makes me feel calm." Yuuri took a few more pictures.

"It is as if, it speaks to me."

Senju and Chito sat on the platform next to them and watched her take pictures.

After a while, Yuuri felt that she had taken enough photos, and said with emotion to the camera, "Speaking of which, the camera is really easy to use. As long as you take a picture, you won't forget it."

"Thank Senju for this." Chito replied.

"...Does this camera originally belong to Senju?" Yuuri thought for a while, forgot where the camera came from, and took a photo of Senju and Chito.

"Have you forgotten, this camera was exchanged for the one from Senju and Kanazawa."

"Kanazawa... who is that?"

"Hey now, he's the one who exchanged cameras with you!" Chito couldn't help but raise her voice, and Senju took out a camera on the side to remind her, "Remember this?"

"Ohh yeaaah... I remember now!" After Yuuri thought for a while, she suddenly realized, "If I didn't have this camera, I would have forgotten him."

Then she looked at the camera in her hand gratefully, "Thank you, camera."

""Its not normal to forget things as easily as you do."" Senju and Chito complained at the same time.

But then, the two suddenly remembered something.

"I wonder if he is okay?" Chito was a little worried about Kanazawa's current situation.

Senju also felt a little worried, "He should be fine. He was still so energetic at that time. He would not give up until he is finished drawing the map..."

But Yuuri was relieved, "It's okay. As long as this camera is still there, Kanazawa will always exist in our hearts."

"Don't make it sound like he's dead." Chito complained about Yuuri's tone, but Yuuri understood it clearly, "However, whether he is alive or dead, we're probably not gonna see him again, right?"

"I'm sure it would be difficult, yeah..." Chito said and stood there in a daze.

"I feel like I will forget him one day." Yuuri's words made Senju feel a burst of agreement.

He hadn't thought of Kanazawa for a long time, and he would probably disappear from his mind sooner or later.

"Ahh, now I get it." Chito, who was in a daze, seemed to have discovered something and ran to the wall next to her.

Senju and Yuuri also followed.

"Look here." Chito pointed to a line of small words on the outside of the drawer.

"We have always ignored it because it is too small, but there is a name on each drawer. This must be the name of the owner of the things inside."

"Then did those people forget... that they left their things here?" Yuuri was in a daze and couldn't understand it at all, but Senju realized what Chito meant and couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Rather than forgetting them, it's better to say that they were placed here so as not to forget them." Chito struggled for a moment, then looked seriously at the two next to her, "This is a grave"

Following Chito's words, snowflakes fell from the sky, seemingly crying for these people.

The three of them looked at these endless walls with sadness.

""A grave...""

"The items and names left here must be a symbol to prevent others from forgetting these people."

"I see." Yuuri also understood somewhat.

"But if there are no more people like us passing by, and the world becomes empty..."

"...Who will remember them?"

"Here, look." Yuuri patted the mysterious stone statue, "There's somebody right here."

The two people stared at the stone statue that seemed to have stood here forever and understood. Chito also understood, "Is this the stone statue that was built for this purpose?"

"Ahh." A snowflake fell on Chito's face.

Only then did she realize that the snow around her had become heavier, and the car was also filled with snow.

"The snow's picked up huh?"

"The weather is getting colder again."

"That's right. Its gonna get cold again."

Chito stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes, and after a while she said, "We need to return the things."

"Put what back?"

"The things you took away."

"Oh, why?" Yuuri was a little confused.

"If those things don't stay here, there will be no meaning of existence." Chito sighed, "This is the meaning of this place."

Just as Chito was about to turn around and return the things, Senju placed two netherrack rock pillars in front of the stone statue and lit them on fire.

Although the surrounding snowflakes were still falling, the fire kept burning.

"Senju, what is this?"

"This, consider it a worship service. Let this fire remember this place for us." Senju bowed to the stone statue, then turned around with Chito to return the things.

However, as the wind and snow increased, Chito became a little worried, "Do you still remember the location of these things?"

"Ah, just put this here," Yuuri stopped in front of a drawer and fell into a dilemma, "Oh well, it's all the same wherever you put it."

"No, it's not." Chito quickly stopped Yuuri's optimistic approach, but in the end she let Yuuri place it in her own way because everyone had forgotten the original location of these things.

(T/L: Whoa, desecrated...)

After putting these things into the drawer, the three of them slowly left the cemetery regardless of the heavy snow.

After leaving the cemetery, Senju found a place to park the car. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the three of them felt very cold.

Senju spread a layer of netherrack rock on the flat ground next to it. The container house was placed on it, and then the three of them covered the car and got in.

(T/L: Ngl I forgot what they called that, and I'm to lazy to search for it...)

After the three of them entered, Senju lit a fire on the netherrack inside. It became warm inside for a while, so everyone took off their coats and hung them next to them.

Then Senju prepared some food on the fire to ward off the cold.

Chito was sitting at the table next to him, recording everything she saw today in her diary.

After Yuuri was in a daze for a while, she ran to the food shelf to find her favorite food...
