"What will happen if I go there?" Kitahara frowned, he asked the girl.
"I don't know..." Sweat overflowed from Chihiro forehead, she looked incomparably painful, after all, she was recalling something she didn't possess.
"That is the place to complete the Ghost Marriage."
"Will I die after completing the Ghost Marriage?" Kitahara continued to ask.
"No..." Chihiro did know this, she said.
"It's just that it's almost the same as death... What exactly will happen... You need to know the whole ritual."
The whole ritual?
Kitahara frowned.
"Does Chihiro-San also not know the ritual?"
When Chihiro heard this, she took a deep look at Kitahara, her eyes seemed to be a little sad.
"The people who knows the ritual is from main family of Takahashi clan. To be precise, the orginal main family..."
Kitahara was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand what she meant.
The people of orginal main family should all be left on the mountain...
In that case...
Could those things in Mountain Range be from main family?
Kitahara thought for a while, noted down this guess, and then he continued to ask the girl.
"Then what is your existence? A part? What does a part mean?"
When Chihiro heard this, she showed a wry smile.
"As you can see, although this body of mine looks no different from a living person, and even has some functions of a living person, in reality, it is just a human-shaped substitute...
Simply put, it is a thing that carries a soul without any life..."
I've never seen such a lifelike puppet...
Kitahara looked at Takahashi Chihiro's perfect figure and appearance.
Although he thought so, considering that anything could happen in this world, he quickly accepted this setting.
"So the meaning is that you are not a living person now?" He asked the girl.
Chihiro nodded, she smiled wryly.
"You can say that..."
"My existence may be a key, or it may be something else. I only know that after completing the ritual, I will play a very important role..."
"What does it mean?"
"It means that I am also a part of the ritual..." The girl lowered her head.
"In the end, I will also return to Xishi Mountain and become a part of her..."
"..."
Kitahara looked at her for a moment.
"What are the conditions for being selected as a candidate for a Ghost Marriage?"
"There are two ways." Takahashi Chihiro thought.
"The first is to be personally left behind by the person herself, or to have a ritual mark left by the family...
The second is to obtain something related to her, and you can use it to go up the mountain to perform the ritual."
Something related...
Kitahara thought of that ghost photo.
"Chihiro-San, do you know about something called a shrine maiden?"
Then he noticed a blank expression on Chihiro's face.
It seems she doesn't know...
Then he stretched out his right hand to Chihiro, on which was a blood-red, ferocious torii, which only Kitahara himself could see.
"Can you see anything?" Kitahara stretched out the back of his hand to the girl.
He originally just wanted to test whether Chihiro could see Yujin Chi no tori, but Chihiro reaction surprised Kitahara.
"This thing..."
Chihiro looked at the back of Kitahara right hand in a daze.
Tears... uncontrollably flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Eh?"
She seemed a little surprised that her dead body could still shed tears.
Then, in Kitahara dazed gaze, she gently grabbed Kitahara right hand and gently pressed it against one side of her cheek...
Kitahara: "..."
It must be said that Chihiro-san skin is very good, delicate and warm, but Kitahara felt that the two of them were being quite bold.
If this scene were seen by others, Kitahara could imagine how famous he would be at Shinosuke Middle School in the future.
More Sakura-San know about this.
Although it doesn't matter if she knows, he is, after all, her boyfriend now...
Although it's just pretending...
But at this time, it is inevitable that a hypocritical sense of guilt arises.
"Such a familiar feeling... I seem to... know her?"
Chihiro didn't seem to realize how rude her current actions were to a noble young lady.
She seemed to be immersed in some kind of memory at this time.
The kind of emotion that constantly surged in her heart, constantly gushing out from the special pattern on Kitahara chest, and then flowing into her body from the palm of her hand, allowing her to rarely... feel the resonance of emotions...
That is... the carrier of emotions...
On this day, she finally did it. Now she is no different from a living person. Being able to carry emotions means that she can interact, which means that she can have a normal love affair...
She can not only feel love, but also experience love, and generate love...
But...
Her gaze looked at Kitahara chest.
But all of this requires physical contact with Kitahara-kun...
Now, Kitahara is equivalent to a transfer station for her main body's emotions.
Through him, she can temporarily become complete.
"She?" Kitahara was attracted by the content of her words.
She should be the girl who was embedded in the torii…
That is, one of the two little girls he saw in his mind when he used the torii…
As for the other one… it should be Chihiro-san main body.
"Yes…" Takahashi Chihiro said.
"She originally wanted to help me… but ultimately failed… but she has never given up…"
"Eh? What am I talking about? Is this my memory?" She was a little dazed again.
It seems that Yujin Chi no tori, coupled with the special mark on her heart, can allow the current incomplete Takahashi Chihiro to temporarily obtain part of the main body's memory…
But it looks like this… is already the limit…
"Chihiro-san?"
Seeing that she was a little distracted, Kitahara couldn't help but call out.
"Ah?" Takahashi Chihiro finally woke up, no longer looking like a dazed sleepwalker, and then she noticed that she was now holding Kitahara hand, getting along in a very intimate posture.
Then…
Her beautiful little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she quickly let go.
"I'm… I'm sorry, I was a little rude…"
"Ah… It's okay, it's better to say that I'm really lucky today…" Kitahara said with a smile.
"Ah?" Chihiro was stunned for a moment.
In addition to being gentle and lovely, Chihiro was unexpectedly a bit of a natural airhead.
Of course, perhaps it was because she had returned to that humanoid substitute who could not bear emotions.
"That…"
The feeling of having emotions was really happiness, Chihiro even wanted to feel it again for a moment, she was a little shy in her heart, but she still spoke to Kitahara
Beautiful little face, shy eyes… Red Eyes, which should have represented nobility and indifference, were now full of cute feeling…
"What's wrong? Chihiro-san?"
"That… can you try it again? That is, hold hands."
Chihiro's face was flushed, like a delicious red apple, exuding an attractive sweetness.
