A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
I caught enough fish and saw the first sunrise of the year, but I could not find the answer.
Kaori was fortunately too sleepy to remember, so I decided not to say anything.
When I returned home from fishing, the first thing I saw was Fuyuki wearing a kimono.
“F-Fuyuki…..? What’s up with that?”
“Oh, Happy New Year, Serito kun. In fact, Serito kun’s mother let me wear this……ehehe, what do you think?”
Since Fuyuki has a relatively established image of being ‘Western’ this was refreshing in its own way.
It’s good…..and nice,……nice, Mom
“It looks good on you ! It’s like another outfit you have to pay for !”
“Is that really a compliment ….? Well, I’ll take it as a compliment♡”
Expressing her joy with her body, she spins around and shows off her beautiful kimono.
Kaori, who was fully awake, thought it was not a good idea and puffed out her cheeks like a rodent.
“Muuu ! I’ll wear a kimono too ! ! !”
“Kaorii, my daughter….Serito’s mother was so sleepy she fell asleep twice, so if you want to put it on, you can put it on yourself ! Gahaha !”
“N-no way……”
I don’t know anything about how to put on a kimono either, so this year I’m going to ask her to give it up.
“Every year there’s a festival at the nearby shrine, so how about we all go for the first shrine visit of the year?”
“Wow……! It’s nice, isn’t it? Let’s go !
!”
“Uuu……we’re gonna eat cotton candy and roast squid……”
“The main thing is Hatsumode, Kaori.”
Perhaps…..no, she will certainly be the center of attention. She’s a beautiful girl in a kimono with silver hair, red eyes, and a doll-like face.
We have monsters here that can render people powerless with pressure points, so I guess it’ll be okay.
“……Hey Serito, didn’t you think of something rude just now…..?”
“I-it’s just my imagination〜〜. L-look ! It might be crowded, so let’s get going ! !”
“I don’t think it will be that crowded here in the countryside…..”
I turned away and whistled badly while holding my stomach.
Stop it, Kaori. I’m afraid I’m going to see those scary eyes in my dreams. I mean, is this what the guy who just confessed to me looks like?
I headed to the nearest shrine with Kaori, who radiated a black aura, and Fuyuki, who was deified and radiated a glittering aura.
There were a lot of people there, many stalls were set up, and a fragrant aroma was wafting through the air.
“She’s so beautiful, isn’t she?”
“She’s so beautiful !”
“I want to take a picture of her……”
“There’s a very pretty woman !”
“Oh, Goddess herself came to this place ! !”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you……!”
Not only is she the center of attention, but the old ladies who worship Fuyuki are also showing up. She is indeed a young lady.
Surrounded by the locals, I observed it from a little distance. Then, someone tugged at my clothes and spoke to me from next door.
“Serito kun, Happy New Year !”
“That voice……that tone……that height, that smell, that aura of an angel…is that you, Akira kun !!?”
“Serito kun, shhh ! …But what are the last three about…?”
He was slightly disguised, but there was no doubt that it was the angel Akira kun.
“Master was worried, so he asked me to come and check on her secretly, and so I came here on a trip. It’s a great place !”
“Fufu, isn’t it? …But even so, I’m surprised they gave you permission.”
“Well, I was surprised, too. Apparently they gave the OK when I mentioned Serito kun’s name.”
As I was enjoying a conversation with an angel early in the New Year, the person I had been sitting in started making some noise.
The crowd was larger than before, and it seemed that someone was making a lot of noise.
“Uiiii… you guys have been so noisy since earlier…! If you don’t move soon, I’ll push the pressure point that sends everyone to sleep through the New Year ! ! Hiccup.”
The center of the commotion was, to my surprise, Kaori, who was holding a mysterious cup in her hand. Looking around to see what it was, I saw a place where they were handing out sweet sake.
Come to think of it, I remember being stupidly drunk on sweet sake in the past too…….
“If you don’t get away from me while I count to three seconds, I’ll beat you all !”
“No, no, no ! I’m gonna hold her back here, so please go ahead !”
Kaori is on the verge of going berserk, but Akira kun restrains her and tells us to go ahead.
“I understand……! I won’t forget this favor ! Let’s go, Fuyuki !”
“Eh? W-was that….”
“It’s just your imagination, Fuyuki !”
“Y-you sure….?”
I pulled Fuyuki’s hand and moved to the place of offering money and left the place of commotion.
It seems Akira kun didn’t want to be found out, so this was probably the right answer. I’ll leave Kaori to you…Akira, kun
“I visit the shrine every year, but this is the first time I’ve gone with a friend. What are you praying for, Serito kun?”
“Hmmm, like…..that I can go back to my ordinary days?”
“Ufufu, that’s an unfulfilled wish.”
“Why do you say that?”
Throwing a five-yen coin into the money box, I clap my hands together and make a wish.
Well, but surely, as long as Kaori and Fuyuki are around, the turbulent life is going to continue.
As I was looking around the stalls after praying, Fuyuhki grabbed my sleeve and pointed to one stall.
“Oh, they sell candy apples too.”
“Yes, they have basically everything. Can I have a candy apple, please, Sir?”
“‘Course ! !”
I bought a candy apple and handed it to Fuyuki.
She received it with sparkling eyes and took a bite. I felt a halo of light shining on her, and I couldn’t help but meditate on it.
“It’s delicious ! Oh….erm, Serito kun, would you like to take a bite too…..?”
“I ate a lot of the fish I caught earlier, so I’ll pass……”
“Hmmm. I see.”
Fuyuki looked at me disappointingly, then put the candy apple in her mouth. For some reason, it felt like she wasn’t looking at my eyes, but below them…mainly around my lips, but maybe I was mistaken.
After finishing the candy, the two of us went to draw a fortune.
“Hmm, good luck. Well, that’s average.”
“I got modest luck. I would’ve liked to have had great luck anyway, but it is not good to be too greedy.”
“I guess so. It is important to have a broad mind to accept things as they are.”
“Fufu, let’s get along well this year♪”
“Oh, of course.”
After replying to her as she happily tied her fortune slip inside the shrine grounds, I took another look at my own fortune.
The one word section says, [Blood will contend with things near and far.]….. What on earth does that mean……
