Chapter 74 (2/2)

“Even though I’ it’s a shae what you wish to inform her of?”

Hearing Principal-sensei’s caler and he opened his mouth widely

“Of course-! I died in this cursed way to give that wo-!”

“I wonder is that’s so What was it you wanted to do?Did you really appear to curse her?”

“That’s right-!”

Facing Chikinahis declaration, Principal-sensei thrust out

thrust out a single painting Painted there was a single wo

“This is a portrait placed in front of her house on the day that you died”

So this is the person in the center of all this trouble, Sheemi She has a somewhat plain iht about the portrait This painting was overfloith the love of the painter, Chikina; it’s a work full of happiness thatat it smile unconsciously

“That painting is… … aa … I see … that day, when I realizedthat was filled with all ratitude up until then, so I dropped by her house … and then I witnessed that scene … aa, I see … that tie towards her But more than that, I lamented my worthlessness and I died That foolishness of mine that couldn’t protect that warmth”

“Vengeful-ghost de feelings, a thehost deh you possess that hatred, it was unable to wipe out your true feelings”

I see… it was like that I, who did not have a wealth of life experiences, to the degree where I have to holdlove affairs, understood it to be because of Chikina’s regrets, as well as hatred, jealousy, and desire to kill However, it wasn’t like that, huh?

“Chikinsan I will ask you again What was it you wanted to do?”

“I…”

—

“hello, who ht you be?”

“I am the one who accepted Sheemi-sama’s request and came from the Hunters association”

Greeting the , Principal-sensei visited the private residence directly in front of the inn To properly watch over it until the end, I’m lined up next to Principal-sensei

The woman who opened the door – – Shee your entryway to find a vendingeven in modern day japan

“U,uic tool that’s placed in front of the inn, correct?”

“Yes It’s thethat aside, I’ that the matter of your request has been accomplished safely”

Upon hearing those words, Sheemi patted her chest

“Is that so? Thank you very ht to say this, but I didn’t want to see him like that anymore”

“He has properly left this world without losing his way And I will return this portrait to you”

“A, no I don’t have the right to accept it, so…”

When I saw her saying that and about to

and about to push the portrait back, I projected hi his form, on the <lcd panel=””>

“Sheemi, I’m sorry I really caused you so much trouble When you abandoned me to live a life you should have lived, I was overwhelood fortune, and at that tiht, it was natural to be worried about me who has basically no income Over and over you told ood in the future That I should steadily work hard while chasing o well just because I held a one-man exhibition You said all of that, but I didn’t want to hear it Noill obediently accept your words Truly, I’ with this portrait And so, although it’s too late, I want you to accept it Thank you, and be happy”

With tears on her face, she hugged the portrait and fell to her knees

Directly after the recording, he had bowed his head deeply towards us and disappeared When I last saw his face, I had the impression that he had an unburdened and satisfied look

It’s weird for a vending machine to talk about love, but I think that neither of the in this time’s situation He had burdened her all that tiain Before they knew it, a gear had come loose and both of them spun as they pleased, and it led to the worst conclusion

“No one can completely understand another’s heart, if you don’t even know your own heart But what if you put yourself in his place and consider his position? I think that’s just what this story is”

Principal-sensei seeped into h she said it casually, it feels like it has a persuasive power that works unconsciously She ine The words of the elderly, who have cliht to them, na

“Hakkon-san’s form is different from ours, but the et the kindness that you showed the orphans”

“Thank you very much”

Within the vendingwith et that

So I’d want to see until the end is … I purely want to see Ra face appeared in my head

I will protect that smile, even at the cost of this body
