Takezawa's Ghost - Episode 33

When I remember one thing, others come back to me.

“I think your sister would be happy if you bought her some cream puffs.”

　Hirose mentioned this to Naoya, as we were leaving a rather stylish coffee shop while chatting.

“Oh. That’s right. Michi likes cream puffs.”

　it was.

　Michi likes cream puffs.

　I’m a loser who has never bought her a single souvenir on my way home from work.

　Maybe it’s because he’s a ghost that I can’t eat him, but maybe it would have been nice to try to eat with him.

　Come to think of it, I wonder if Hirose and Michi have ever met.

　If that’s the case, I wonder what Michi thought about the photo we took with Kato Mei.

　Don’t you think she’s a slut who was once his brother’s girlfriend and is now flirting with Takezawa Shinji?

　…….

　If that is the case, then the misunderstanding must be cleared up for the sake of Hirose’s honor.

　I’m feeling a lot of emotions.

　However, the journey down memory lane isn’t over.

　The next scene shows Naoya being stuffed into a drum with his back to the sea.

　Ah.

　It’s a memory I most don’t want to remember.

　Having made an irreparable mistake at work, Naoya is surrounded by a large group of people and is about to be pushed into the Sea of ​​Japan.

　At that time I was…

　I did nothing.

　Also trying to help.

　Sometimes they even give the final push themselves.

　You can also run away from the scene.

　However, he witnessed Naoya being killed right there.

　Leave them to die.

　Those words are a perfect description of the actions of that creepy man named Takezawa Shinji at that time.

　I abandoned the only person in my life who had given me fun to die.

　Even if you didn’t commit the crime, it’s a sin that cannot be atoned for.

　If I had taken some kind of action, maybe, even a billion years, I could have been saved.

　The act of doing nothing killed his best friend.

“Shinji, I’m sorry but you have to give up. This person is my boss now.”

“…”

　A ghost. Right?

　I hadn’t seen it until now.

　If there’s nothing wrong with my eyesight, then Naoya was using his spiritual powers to hide his presence.

　And being here as a ghost means that you still have regrets about this world.

　He died young. I think he has a lot of regrets. But considering Naoya’s personality, that’s probably the best thing…

“It seems that Kondo-san is a classmate of Michi’s. He’ll apparently introduce us to each other sometime.”

“…!”

　I wonder how long I’ve felt this way.

　The feelings that I should have discarded a long time ago because they would only end up making me tired are now eating away at my brain.

　This is anger.

　I felt hatred for the woman standing behind Naoya, arrogantly with her arms crossed.

　But at the same time, I sense an atmosphere similar to mine.

　Perhaps this woman is someone who can make use of anything she can get her hands on.

　They hired the ghost of a classmate’s older brother, who died as a result of bullying they had done in the past, as their bodyguard.

　I’d like to condemn their shameless behavior, but unfortunately I’m not qualified to do so.

　Because he had just sacrificed a senior who had been kind to him for his own plan.

　I can’t criticize other people.

　But the anger just keeps growing.

“…”

　My thoughts hit a dead end.

　I can’t even find a clue as to how to resolve this situation.

“Naoya. What are you doing? Kill that guy quickly.”

　Kondou Kaori ordered in a high-pitched voice.

“……yes”

　Well.

　Since I have analgesia, I probably won’t be killed right away, but the incident with Araki Junsuke has taught me the hard way that I am powerless against ghosts.

　In that case, there is no other option but to rely on others.

“…Michi. Help me.”

　I muttered, making sure Naoya didn’t hear.
