Buying two boxes of red bean Daifuku as gifts, Naoki brought three girls to the house's entrance.
"Wait." Furuhashi grabbed Naoki's clothes and whispered, "Add the buff first before entering."
Without the 'spiritual vision' buff, even if the three girls were face to face, they wouldn't be able to see Hanako.
"Almost forget." Naoki nodded, looking at Furuhashi. "Come here."
"This is the street, what are you thinking!" Furuhashi blushed, and couldn't help but be irritated, "...There is an alley over there, hurry up."
It was fine coming here alone, now that there were Ogata and Sekijou, how could Naoki kiss three people on the street!
The four of them walked into the alley.
This night.
It will be dark.
The alleys were quiet and deserted.
"It's here."
Furuhashi looked around, and was quite satisfied.
A dim and lonely alley like this is a good place to do bad things.
"Which of you will come first?" Naoki asked.
Furuhashi and Sekijou looked at each other without speaking.
"I will come first."
Sure enough, Ogata raised his little hand first, without any embarrassment or hesitation.
"Do your part, what courage." Naoki gave a thumbs up in appreciation.
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with courage, right?" Furuhashi complained.
Naoki said: "The first soldier to eat crab should be praised."
"This is not the first time." Sekijou folded his arms across his chest, "It will be dark soon, hurry up."
Naoki crouched down in front of Ogata.
No way, the height gap is too big, it's better to bend over than squat to kiss.
In front of Furuhashi and Sekijou, Ogata didn't ask Naoki to hug him today, but only raised his bangs in coordination, exposing his forehead.
Under the two girls' watch, Naoki kissed Ogata on the forehead, and stood up straight after ten seconds:
"Okay, next."
"Rizu-san, here are tissues."
Sekijou waited at the side, hastily stepped forward, handed over a tissue, "Wipe your forehead."
Naoki turned his head expressionlessly: "I feel humiliated."
"There's nothing wrong with cleanliness."
Sekijou was not afraid, and looked back with his head held high.
"I support Sawako, and it is everyone's responsibility to keep things clean." Furuhashi joined in, and said in a sharp voice, "Sawako, I want some tissues too."
"It's going to get dark soon, hurry up." Naoki acts as a repeater, repeating what Sekijou said, "Who's next?"
Furuhashi looked at Sekijou, and stood up with a red face:
"Let me do it."
After all, Sekijou was an 'outsider', and she definitely wouldn't take the initiative to stand up, it was just her.
"You actually said that I don't pay attention to cleanliness, I am angry."
Naoki was talking, and his eyes fell on Furuhashi's lips. He didn't know what brand of lip balm she was using, and it looked pink and moisturised.
After hanging out for so long, Furuhashi could tell what Naoki wanted to do with just one glance.
"Don't even think about it!"
Furuhashi stretched his hand to Naoki's waist, with angry eyes and a smile on his face: "Asakawa-san, please don't be angry."
"Please remove your hand when you apologize."
"There is a little dust on his clothes, I cleaned it for you."
Ogata and Sekijou are still around, it's too embarrassing to even think of doing such a thing in public, don't even try to succeed!
After adding the buff to Furuhashi, only Sekijou was left.
Sekijou's face turned red, his right hand was holding his left arm, and she hesitated.
"Sawako, hurry up." Ogata insisted.
"Oh... I'm coming."
Sekijou took a deep breath, and walked in front of Naoki.
The four eyes face each other.
Like a frightened deer, Sekijou shyly fluffed up her eyelashes, and quickly looked away.
Hey, this is not the first time I kissed you, what are you panicking about!
Naoki ordered: "Push your bangs up yourself."
Sekijou: "😐"
"Hurry up, don't linger."
Sekijou reluctantly pushed his bangs up, exposing his fine forehead.
Excessive!
When it's Furuhashi and Ogata, Naoki always offers to help, why let herself push his bangs when it's her turn?
That's so unfair!
It was only after kissing the forehead that Sekijou suddenly woke up.
Wait.
Why should she care about justice?
Furuhashi and Ogata are in a relationship with him, but he doesn't have a relationship with her, unfair, is that normal?
"Sawako, quicker." Ogata turned his head and shouted, "Don't be dazed."
"Come."
Sekijou hastily stepped up to follow.
The four of them soon reached the door of a building, and Naoki stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Not long after, a woman with a dangerous hairstyle opened the door and said with a warm smile, "You guys have come, come in quickly."
Visiting in a hurry might cause trouble for others, so before coming here, Furuhashi sent a message first, knowing that the other party had time today.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Suzuki."
Furuhashi delivered souvenirs, and she took care of all the social tasks.
"Sit first." Mrs. Suzuki smiled gently, "I'll make some tea for you."
While Mrs. Suzuki was making tea, the three girls looked left and right, looking for Hanako.
"Hanako-chan doesn't seem to be in the room."
"I didn't see it either."
The three girls looked around, but they didn't see Hanako, then they all looked at Naoki.
"Asakawa-san, have you seen Hanako-chan?" Furuhashi asked.
Naoki shook his head: "I didn't see her."
"Isn't Hanako-chan at home?"
Furuhashi frowned slightly, slightly worried.
"Just ask." Naoki looked at Mrs. Suzuki who came with tea.
Furuhashi was not in a hurry, the two sides talked for a while, then said sensibly:
"Excuse me, how about the Temari ball we sent last time?"
The smile on Mrs. Suzuki's face froze slightly, she put down the teacup in her hands, and said in a low voice:
"The temari ball… is in the storage room."
An old temari ball was sent from Tokyo all the way, and it was left by his daughter. Even though she didn't say it clearly, Mrs. Suzuki had clearly guessed something.
"Can we take another look?" Furuhashi asked softly.
Mrs. Suzuki stood up and bowed:
"Please follow me."
...
They came to the shed around the corner very quickly, Mrs. Suzuki pushed open the door and took out a temari ball from the wooden box.
"The temari balls were originally kept in the bedroom, but I accidentally revealed they were Hanako's toys, so my husband took them to the storage room."
Mrs. Suzuki explained in a low voice.
Toys for children who have passed away will definitely make people uncomfortable, after all Hanako isn't his biological child, so there's nothing wrong.
Naoki stared at the box quietly, and Hanako sat in it with her legs crossed.
Naoki didn't know if it was an illusion, but the girl Hanako's body seemed to be more transparent, and a mist came out of the surface of the body from time to time, as if it was about to dissipate.
"That's Hanako." Sekijou exclaimed.
"Where's Hanako?"
Mrs. Suzuki's body trembled, her fingers tightly pinching the corner of her clothes, and following the gazes of Furuhashi and the others, she looked into the box excitedly.
Unfortunately the wooden box is empty, only a few sundries, other than that nothing else.
Ordinary humans couldn't see ghosts, not even close relatives.
"Can you really see Hanako?" Mrs. Suzuki's eyes filled with mist, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.
"Sorry."
Sekijou bit his lower lip, lowered his head and apologized, she was too excited just now, and accidentally said something wrong.
"It's fine, I don't intend to continue hiding from Mrs. Suzuki."
Furuhashi comforted gently, then looked at the nervous Mrs. Suzuki, and told the whole story.
When she heard that Hanako had been looking after the rental house for three years and was waiting for her to return every day, Mrs. Suzuki finally couldn't hold back her emotions. She covered her cheeks with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... You didn't know that Hanako was waiting for me to come back..."
The dead are gone.
The greatest pain in the world is the separation of life and death.
"Why hasn't Hanako come out yet?" Ogata asked curiously.
Inside the wooden box, Hanako was still holding her feet and buried her head in his arms, without any movement, as if she couldn't hear the sound of the outside world at all.
"Asakawa-san, is Hanako-chan okay?" Furuhashi turned his head worriedly.
Naoki watched closely for a moment, then said: "Hanako has become autistic."
"Eh?" Sekijou was dumbfounded, "Can ghosts be autistic too?"
"Any creature that has emotions can be autistic." Naoki said calmly "Even though Hanako is a ghost, she has human emotions, so it's normal to be autistic."
For example, kittens and puppies, many people think that cats and dogs are happy all day long, eat and sleep, eat and sleep, what troubles could they have?
In fact, cats and dogs can get depressed too.
"That's right," Said Sekijou in a confused tone, "Hanako even lived alone for the previous three years, how could she suddenly..."
In the middle of talking, that Sekijou suddenly closed his youth, and realized it too late.
Since she wasn't born with autism, it must be related to the change in environment.
Maybe because of being locked in a wooden box, that's the symptoms of autism appear.
Mrs. Suzuki also thought of this possibility, and wanted to continue crying, but the emotional outburst just now had passed, and she couldn't cry for a while.
After all, in his eyes, the wooden box was empty, with nothing inside.
"Can you let me see Hanako?" Mrs. Suzuki wiped the tears off her face, bowed ninety degrees, and begged, "Even if it's just to hear Hanako's voice again, please!"
"Okay, let's talk about it first." Furuhashi disapproved, "Auntie Suzuki, come out and calm down first."
"Excuse me."
Mrs. Suzuki bowed again, and left the storage room.
"Asakawa-san, can Mrs. Suzuki meet Hanako?" Furuhashi hoped.
"Yes." Naoki nodded, and said in a deep voice, "But unlike you, Mrs. Suzuki is just an ordinary person, and kissing her forehead can't buff up."
Sekijou fell silent: "Aren't we ordinary people?"
Absolutely not.
Ordinary people don't switch bodies at every opportunity!
"Asakawa-san said only kisses are allowed?" asked Ogatha.
"That's right." Naoki nodded.
Sekijou hesitated, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
Damn it! Mrs. Suzuki is in her thirties, and Naoki doesn't have anyone else's wife, who would be interested!
"Fumino is the cutest in the world, and Rizu is fragrant and fluffy." Naoki said unhappily "You are stupid to have unreasonable thoughts about auntie."
"Don't call Mrs. Suzuki auntie, she is only in her thirties." Furuhashi blushed, angrily came over, then pressed her pink lips and said, "If it was just a kiss on the forehead, Mrs. Suzuki might agree, the other part… Should it be rejected?"
After all, she was a wife with a husband, what was the difference between doing that sort of thing with Naoki and cheating?
In terms of selfishness, Furuhashi doesn't want Naoki to kiss someone else's wife at all.
"This can be like last night, let Hanako-chan and Mrs. Suzuki meet in a dream." Ogata gave a suggestion.
Furuhashi's eyes lit up: "This method is good."
No physical contact is required to enter the dream world, as long as the person is nearby.
"When will Hanako-chan wake up?" Furuhashi quickly frowned, reached out to touch Hanako in the box, his fingers went straight through Hanako's body, "Can Asakawa-san call Hanako-chan wake up?"
"Need to try." Naoki looked at Sekijou and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Eh?" Sekijou's eyes widened in a daze, suddenly feeling slightly uncomfortable, "Wait a minute, what does that have to do with me?"
"You and Hanako have the best compatibility." Naoki said bluntly, "I want you to sacrifice your body later."
"It turned out to be possessed." Sekijou blushed slightly, "Don't describe it as offering a body, that sounds weird."
"How does it feel to be possessed?" Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. The genius of science has always had a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. "I really want to know."
"You can not." Naoki shook his head.
There is too much fat on the chest, and Hanako can't control it at all!
"I'll leave Hanako-chan to you." Furuhashi said quickly, "I'll go out and discuss it with Mrs. Suzuki first."
As Furuhashi left, Naoki looked at Sekijou and said:
"Get ready."
"It's not like I've never been possessed before," Sekijou muttered under his breath.
The first time she was very nervous, afraid of pain and discomfort, but Sekijou was experienced and experienced, so she wasn't afraid at all.
Naoki said with a serious expression: "Hanako is full of negative emotions now, and these negative emotions tend to affect you, so stay calm and sober."
"I see."
Seeing Naoki's seriousness, Sekijou didn't dare to be careless and paid attention to it.
Naoki reached his hand into the wooden box, and with a light grip, he grabbed the untouchable Hanako, then made a stuffing motion towards Sekijou.
Sekijou only felt a chill down his body, as if a tingling current was coursing through her, and then the world in front of her suddenly turned gray.
"…I'm not human anymore!"
