As she was a cheerful child, always cheerful to the point that it was uniinable that she'd break down to that extent, it hurt to see her cry
Hirota went downstairs to the base together with Naru and the others, and asked, ”What was that about?”
Hirota wasn't able to comprehend Mai's turmoil
Naru replied to this with a short and cold answer
”It has nothing to do with you”
”But --”
”I don't think that you will understand even if I explained it to you”
Hirota sullenly kept his silence

”What is there to -- wait You couldn't possibly mean, that? What Taniyama-san said, that a child and his parents were killed?”
”Yes, that”
Hirota sighed
”That's a dream Didn't she say so herself?”

There was no answer to this either

”I think it's fine that there are people who don't believe in ghosts That's their own right That's why I think it's okay that there's a group of people who deny it -- But you know, aren't you a bit wrong for flatly suspecting people of being swindlers or frauds?”
”-- I”
”Even I will deny it if I think so vigilant Even though that may be faint-hearted -- However, to do that and then i whether it is true or not, and turning a deaf ear on whatever they , isn't that completely different?”
”But ”
”I don't have anything to inform you to what is convenient to your ears It's only pointless to discuss this”
”Then, I have a question”
