RNP Chapter 166
Chapter 166
25 years ago, Hinagi Yahina – 8 years old, was a schoolboy.
At that time, the Hinatsuru Onsen Inn was just getting started, and because of the relationship between Hidechi-in, the Hinatsuru family was also considered to be a relatively wealthy family in the local area.
And because the inn is located at the foot of the mountain, the little cranes often go up the mountain for a walk, collecting wild vegetables, mushrooms or wild fruits from low trees.
But that night, the little crane who was originally familiar with this mountain road lost his way in this forest.
It was late, and there was a light rain in the dim sky. The eight-year-old crane accidentally came to the shade of the pond to take shelter from the rain.
The little crane is very cold, but when she is young, she does not know how to make a fire, and she cannot find a way back.
After all, the pond and the road to the hotel had not yet been opened, and the little crane did not dare to brave the rain to enter the forest where the direction could not be distinguished.
And the fluorescent at that time was hiding not far away, looking at this little girl who was about to be wet by a little rain, she didn’t know if she wanted to step forward, humans couldn’t see their spirit body, even if it was in the past…. It is estimated that it will also be ignored.
So, she turned into a firefly that could be seen by humans and flew in front of the little girl.
“It’s
a firefly…” The little crane slowly stretched out his hand to let the firefly fall in his hand, and then used his other hand to block the wind and rain for him.
“Little firefly, don’t come out if it’s already raining, it will get wet.”
The fluorescence of the firefly state couldn’t help but chuckle, this little human girl herself was almost wet by the rain, but she was still worried about the firefly in her hand.
So, the fluorescent flew out of the little crane’s hand and turned into a spirit body. But to his surprise, the little chick crane actually stared at the fluorescent spirit body with wide eyes in a daze.
Can she see me? Fluorescent didn’t think much about it, but took out an extra golden yukata and draped it over the little chick’s body, and directed the firefly to guide the little chick on the way home.
Although he wore an extra yukata, because his body was still very thin, the little crane returned to the inn with a fever for three days.
According to Hinatsuru Yahina’s self-statement, during the fever, he dreamed of many fireflies, and the big blonde sister who handed him a yukata.
After his condition improved, Little Hinazuru thought of the big sister who saved him at that time, which was by no means a dream, because the golden yukata was placed next to his bed.
The little crane hugged the clothes, wanted to find the pond again, and returned the clothes to the sister, although I didn’t know if the sister was still there, but the little crane still wanted to go over!
After a few more days, the little crane finally found the pond, but she never found the figure of the big sister.
Just when the little chick was about to go back first with his yukata, he tripped over a stone by the lake, and his clothes were accidentally thrown out and landed on the lake.
The lake did not look shallow, and after getting up, the little crane did not worry about the pain of the fall, but looked helplessly at the yukata that was about to be swallowed by the lake.
But at this moment, he had been paying attention to the little crane, but did not intend to come out of the fluorescence to show a spirit body on the surface of the lake, and fished up his clothes.
“Ah! It was the big blonde sister that day! The
fluorescent who was going to put away her yukata and leave was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the little girl by the lake.
“Can you see me?”
“Why can’t you see it? And the big sister actually floated on the water, so powerful. The
fluorescent light, which had no contact with humans at all, came to the shore and looked curiously at this little girl who could see herself.
That day, Fluorescent talked a lot with Little Crane, but before leaving, Fluorescent rejected the “Goodbye” said by Little Crane and said that he should use [Farewell”.
One of them is a monster, the other is a human being, and the destiny of heaven is such that they must not be bonded, otherwise they will increase their loneliness.
Just like humans and fireflies, human beings have a lifespan of a hundred years, but the lifespan of adult fireflies is only a few days. If people become friends with a firefly, they can only silently watch the life of the firefly die in the end….
Hotaru didn’t want to, and didn’t dare to accompany a human with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, she was afraid of how lonely she would become when the little crane died.
Little Chick doesn’t understand this, because she already regards this big sister as her benefactor and friend.
Picking up the wet yukata again, Hinazuru said that he would wash it and come back again.
But the next day, no matter how the little crane shouted, the fluorescent was just silently watching in the dark, she didn’t plan to communicate with humans very deeply, and this little girl was just a guest in her life.
Little Chick Crane sat by the lake, she didn’t understand why this gentle big sister, who was still chatting very well yesterday, left without even saying a word of farewell.
She waited for hours, just when Fluorescent thought the human child would forget about her and go home.
Somehow, the little chick suddenly stood up and angrily threw the yukata that was cleaned again in his hand into the lake.
Fluorescence, reappear –
“This is the clothes I gave you, don’t throw them into the water every time!”
“Ah! Big sister! Hee-hee, I know that Big Sister is still there, is throwing clothes into the water a method of Big Sister’s summoning?!
Fluorescent couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and then came to the shore to sit down with the little crane.
Never mind! Although the life expectancy of a person is only a hundred years, he must always guard this child who can see himself! After all, this is her first human friend alive so far!
On this day, they became each other’s first human (youkai) friends.
I thought I could be by her side and guard her, but when I came back a month after Little Crane went to elementary school…. Her eyes suddenly couldn’t see fluorescence.
Even if the fluorescent was standing in front of the little girl, even if he reached out to touch her, he didn’t notice it at all. Although the little crane will come to the lake every day to call for fluorescence, let her come back… But she never saw the fluorescence standing in front of her.
“Sister Ying! Sister Ying! Where are you? I can’t see you, please come out!
The little chick held the yukata and shouted with tears in her eyes.
But the little crane can never see, then stand in front of the fluorescent fluorescence. With tears on his face, the little chick threw his yukata into the lake again.
But this time, the method that can summon fluorescence also failed, and the yukata sank to the bottom of the lake, and finally the little crane found an adult to fish it out.
“Sister Ying, I’m in middle school… I’ve made a lot of new friends, but why don’t you want to come out and see me yet? I will always be waiting for you!
“Sister Ying, high school life is so tired, but I will study hard, when I am admitted to college, can you come back to see me!”
“Sister Ying…. Please come out, do you hate the little crane?
“Sister Ying, I’m getting married, and I will stay at the Hinatsuru Hotel from now on. Moreover… Will come to see you every day. For
25 years, Hinagi Yahina has grown up and married, but she finds time every day to see the lake, hoping that the person will appear again.
The story is over, from the perspective of Hinagi Yahinai, no one knows where Sister Ying went.
The guess under the snow is that the sister Ying just traveled through here, but in fact, her hometown will disappear far away.
After all, Yukinoshita does not believe in the existence of such creatures as youkai, including Chika Fujiwara and Chitanda, who are comforting Hina, Hina, and they are also solving the mystery of Fuchiike in their own opinions.
The so-called Yuanchi is just that the lady of the crane often goes to the pond to wash clothes and then comes back to dry them. Everything else is rumors! After all, how can there be monsters in this world, right?
Uchiha suddenly raised his head and turned his gaze to the window to look at the blonde woman sitting by the window.
Just as he was about to say something, Fluorescent stretched out his finger and shushed, he didn’t need Uchiha Ling to relay something.
Because as she said, there is no meaningful fate, and contact again is only to increase loneliness.
The fluorescent flew behind Hina, and reached out and wrapped his arms around the other’s neck, although the other party could not feel or hear it. But fluorescence still has to be spoken….
[Thank you for being my first human friend, but I really don’t want you to stay in this hotel for the rest of your life, if I can, I want to accompany you to see the gorgeous mountains, to see the beautiful valleys, and accompany you through this wonderful and short life. 】
