Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 69 A spirit with a body

At 09:30 in the evening, in the Yamatorii community, the night sky was covered with dark clouds.

Nozomi Arakawa entered the community wearing a casual sportswear, holding a bag of fruit in his hand.

He came to the bulletin board in the community and glanced at it.

Then he went up the stairs and stopped on the fifth floor of Building B.

At the same time, there was a figure standing on the platform on the fifth floor.

Arakawa Wangan quietly opened the zipper with one index finger.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the cold moonlight shone down from the window of the platform.

Arakawa Wang suddenly recognized the figure.

Because his head reflected the pale moonlight.

——Asano Kazuya.

"What a coincidence." Hemi said with a smile.

"Don't tell me that you are also here to visit the younger generation."

Kazuya picked up the milk in his hand and said, "Kasai-san needs to replenish his health."

Nozomi Arakawa knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

There were footsteps, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman stepped out from behind the door.

Her figure is a little out of shape, and there are a lot of wrinkles around her eyes, which is a very common "obasan".

But the expressions of Nozomi Arakawa and Kazumi Asano changed at the same time.

They all sensed the magic fluctuations in the body of this "Obasan".

If nothing else happens, she should be the culprit responsible for the loss of Kasai Shinichi's life force.

Nozomi Arakawa clenched his racket bag tightly, feeling vigilant.

"May I ask who you are?" Obasan asked cautiously.

"Excuse me, we are Kasai Shinichi's seniors, we are here to visit him."

Arakawa nozomi smiled, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Asano and Ya lightly held Nomo Arakawa's hand, telling him not to be so nervous, the person in front of him may not be the enemy.

"This is the condolence item we brought."

Kazuya handed out the milk in his hand.

"So it's Shinichi-kun's classmate."

Obasan felt relieved and opened the door completely.

"Please come in, that child Shinichi is already asleep."

"If that's the case, then we'll bother you."

Kazumi smiled friendly.That handsome face is simply a special attack on women.

Nozomi Arakawa followed into the house, and the anti-theft door closed gently behind him.

After changing their shoes at the entrance, they entered Shinichi's house.

The house is not too big, very simple, but tidy.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of butter. Arakawa looked over there and saw the basin with beaten egg whites and the flour and whipped cream on the cutting board.

These are all necessary to make a cake.

Looks like this "spirit" was making the cake before they came.

"Sit down first, I'll prepare tea for you." Obasan said.

Arakawa Nozomi and Asano Kazuya exchanged glances.

"Excuse me, are you Shinichi's mother?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"No... I'm his landlord."

"Does the landlord live with the tenant?" Wang Arakawa pretended to be curious.

"It's just a room for rent." The landlord said quickly.

"Really? It seems that Shen Yi didn't live here in the first place."

"It's like this. In the early summer, he seemed to have a conflict with his family, so he found me here according to the rental notice of the house. Because I rent out the room, the price is relatively cheap."

"That's it, landlady. We came here tonight to visit Shenyi on behalf of the classmates." Arakawa said, "Is his physical condition okay?"

"How about your physical condition?" the landlord said, "The child's health is not very good recently, and he often faints from time to time. I asked him to go to the hospital, but the doctor said there was nothing abnormal."

"Have you any idea about this?"

"Not at all."

There was concern in the landlord's eyes.

Arakawa looked stunned for a moment, because she didn't look like she was pretending.

After thinking for a while, Nozomi Arakawa decided not to go around the barrier.

"Does the landlady want to know the reason why Shen Yichang fainted and weakened?"

"Please tell me!"

The landlord seemed very eager, as if he was eager to prove something.

Eyes are the windows of the soul, Nozomi Arakawa saw emotions similar to "maternal love" in her eyes.

"Okay, but before that I want to ask the landlady a question."

"Please say."

The landlady was sitting upright.

"Actually, the landlady is dead, right?"

The landlord's body trembled violently.

Kazuya closed his eyes gently and sighed secretly.

"You, how do you know?"

"Let the little monk explain."

Asano and Ya maintained the posture of clasping their hands together.

"As a dead person, the body and soul should have disappeared in this world, but you have survived temporarily in some way. I think it is probably some kind of obsession of yours that is at work." Hemi said, " But even if it survives because of obsession, it will soon disappear because of lack of support."

"In other words, your existence was obtained by absorbing Shinichi's life force." Nozomi Arakawa added, "And it seems that you also got a body."

"It's just a body that allows me to still touch the world."

The landlord rested his head on the table and smiled silently.

It was a very bitter smile.

"As long as I leave Shinichi, his condition will get better, right?"

"Probably not." He Mi's expression was solemn.

"You have already established a 'connection' with him. Only if you disappear, will Shinichi's vitality not be taken away, and if this continues, he will die."

The landlord pursed his lips tightly.

"Can you tell me your obsessions in the world?" Arakawa Wang said in a low voice, "This may help you become a Buddha."

"It's impossible." He Mi shook his head.

"The landlord already has the ability to materialize in this area, and is no longer a pure 'spirit'. In this case, only 'exorcism' can make her disappear."

Immediately afterwards, Kazuya took out a pistol from his pocket.

"Don't worry, I've fired this kind of BB bullet before. It won't hurt."

"Can I, can you take another look at Shen Yi?" The landlord made a somewhat humble request.

In the world of the living, she is a visitor who should not exist.

"It's best not to, the closer you get to him, the more damage you'll do to him."

Although cruel.

Even a compassionate monk.

Kazumi still refused her request.

It is a law that two magnetic poles with different names will attract each other.

The closer she gets to Shinichi, in order to replenish the magic power she can stay in the world, her body will involuntarily absorb Shinichi's vitality, and it is not under her own control.

The landlord closed his eyes.

No way.

Can't be saved.

Her very existence is slowly killing Shinichi.

So she just disappeared.

But my heart is still a little unwilling.

Shinichi will have it tomorrow.

At that point he could no longer see me.

Then he will forget about me.

So... At least I want to prepare a birthday present for him.

Tears streamed down her face. This middle-aged woman really regarded Shen Yi as her own son.

When Kazuya was about to pull the trigger, Nozomi Arakawa held his hand.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask."
