More than ten years have passed since Blue left Medicine Buddha City. This city where blue was born and raised has only one bad memory, except for one thing.
The Buddha City of Medicine, which I visited for the first time in a decade, seemed blue as though it had not changed much. I also saw that there were no more shops and no shops had been built, but I can't feel any significant change.
And the Club Cat Mansion doesn't look any different in its appearance either. One of the crushed stores in downtown. A place full of good blue memories. But where I ended up throwing it away. I open the door, mocking my decision to visit again, even though I decided never to return.
"I thought it was time to come"
It takes a nostalgic voice. Clearly a strange sounding voice. A voice that belongs to a person.
"Milk...... nall...... long time no see"
Blue smiles powerless toward the white cat in the center of the hall and the boy who fell asleep in the box seat.
"Blue, it's a big deal."
Naru wakes herself up and says worryingly. Despite more than a decade, he remains a child with no growth at all.
"You know."
"I found out about Junko Yukioka's flushed ad. I didn't know you were wearing that kid until then."
"So, where is he?
To the blue question, Nal and the white cat face each other.
I just got home.
The voice rang from behind the blue.
When Blue looked back as he remembered the severe palpitations, there was the face of the person he missed the most there. Various emotions are rampant and wild in the blue. Just looking at my face, I'm about to get something wrong in my head, and I'm overflowing with sadness, nostalgia, love, remorse, tears packed with all kinds of emotions.
(Even if I saw you... I thought you weren't gonna cry)
Blue standing at the entrance, turning away from the viper looking down with one evil looking face and soaking tears.
"Welcome back, Dad."
"This isn't your scene to tear up."
Staring at the white cat, Viper slid through the side of the blue and lowered his back to the chair across from Nal. When Nal sees it, he gets up, points to the seat he's been sleeping in, and urges him to sit in blue. Viper sees it and tongues it, and Blue smiles and interprets it small to Nal and sits back in the chair where Nal was.
Then we should take our seats off.
"Hmm. Take your time. But I didn't expect this to happen. Junko's guy, not even my mouse... '
Nall and the White Cat leave the hall, and later two Vipers and Blue are left behind.
"Nobody seems to be getting old."
Blue referring to the same looking vipers and nals as it was ten years ago.
"They're all immortal."
And, Viper.
"Long ago, a sorcerer who was looking for the law of immortality conducted an experiment in surgery on two of his own made converted cats. The operation was successful, and the two cats were no longer old, and the magician himself performed the procedure. But the old age of the flesh could not stop, even if it could stop the old age of the spirit. My mind stopped growing, my sensibilities frightened, whatever I saw, whatever I tasted, I became uninspired and indifferent, only tiredness and nothingness grew, and at the end of the day I stopped trying to move, and if I didn't try to eat anything, I would have passed away looking up at the universe in an awkward way."
"One of those cats is milk."
This is the first time I've heard of it, but it was speculative that you were referring to the Lord of the Club Cat Mansion who was here until earlier - the White Cat who speaks human language.
"Many people in this world say that the growth of their souls has its limits in a single life. It seems that the old spirit prevents him from growing his soul. The significance of reincarnation is to reset your life once and for all. Whether death erases memories of your previous life or starts over with your baby, your soul is growing. But the spirit of milk never grew old. Even flesh can live forever if it does not perish. So this is how I still live. There is no need to reset it, the growth of the soul comes forever, even without preserving the spirit and reincarnating it - he says there are people who occasionally have that kind of propriety. They call him the one with the past life, the one with the overlife."
It was a completely uninteresting story, but Blue was listening without pinching his mouth. I know Viper is trying to cut the story out of the blue one while talking irrelevant, but it's hard to cut the point.
When this luxurious man can still be counted on, Blue feels it just coming to his side. It's a woman's intuition. I knew I should have done this from the start, but I couldn't because I was resistant.
You already know the story, don't you?
Blue gets to the point in the heavy air.
"Junko Yukioka? You got your eyes on a troublesome guy. Well, I don't know directly, but my husband seems to be the cause of it. In a way, it might be just fine."
"Yes. Your child is being held hostage. In exchange for you."
In that word of blue dwells a fierce light in the eyes of the viper. Blue remembers when this man once tore a person's body like paper in front of him.
"How did that happen?
A viper who relaxes and asks. In a tone of blame, obviously.
"What, did Junko Yukioka take a hungry ghost hostage?
Blue gets stuck in words. In order to talk about it, I have to tell you everything. Until a story I don't want to talk about.
"How could you stay away from me, grow up to a hungry ghost, and have paid potty or something? How did you end up like that? Yeah?"
"Did you know and leave him alone?
Blue to be returned with mockery to Viper's stuffing.
"I don't know anything about hungry ghosts. Though I knew about paid public toilets. How could you imitate that?"
"What else do you want me to do? There was no other option for me to live, have children, raise them. I could have bought it off a pregnant woman in elementary school or something for a high price. So, it was heartfelt laughable that the person who bought it off was becoming a city councilman and complaining about eradicating child pornography."
To the blue smiling strangely, Viper had a pitiful gaze.
"After more than a decade, you haven't changed a bit. I only admit affirmation against myself. When denied even slightly, they rebel with all their might. Or always want to do the opposite of what others want. He wants to go left with a spinal reflex before thinking with his head if he says right. He was such a nasty fool hungry, but he still is. You couldn't have seen the real tundra at the end of the day. I didn't have to ask for details, but I know you invited this kind of thing with such a shitty, extreme personality."
Blue silenced on Viper's unforgiving remarks. My hands are shaking as I tide my cheeks with humiliation. Couldn't argue any more. There was no word left of the man I once loved to shoot at me. I can't deny it, and I can't deny it.
"You sure are the best, your business is. You're the only one who can make me feel better."
"Is that what you taught me, too? It doesn't make sense to just hold my body. Hold him to your heart and give him an intense memory you'll never forget. I'm with artists and writers. Giving a burning touch to a person's heart is a living and fulfilling feeling. No, it's like the joy of victory to me. To the customers who bought me, how..."
"I don't care how comfortable you got the shit out of you, I don't care about the potty bragging"
More pity than mockery, Viper throws up and throws it away.
"Right. I wanted you to help me and your child."
Blue stares at the viper and tells him in a pregnant voice of anger.
"It's not an attitude to get help, that. Besides, it's the seed I sowed. Whoa, am I the one who sowed the seed? Is that why I'm obliged, too? Until now, I didn't even know there was a hungry ghost."
"Again...... I need your help"
Blue tells her as if to spit blood, nagging and biting her lips off.
"You looked like a hero then. He was the prince of the white horse. He was the Savior."
"Can I treat you this time? You're a hell of a hero to get in a police station and kill all the cops. Ha."
"Something that really was. I'm pretty sure I was saved."
When he was just ten years old, Blue continued to be sexually abused by his father, the police chief. He laughed and told the police that he couldn't do anything because he was the greatest in the police, gave up that he couldn't do anything, and lived his days cursing his destiny.
It was Viper who showed up in front of such blue and quickly turned back the fate he had given up.
Blue nostalgic for the viper, began to live here with him in the club cat mansion, and after six months he became a pattern of overlapping himself, but there was constant clash between my strong ones with each other, and at one point Blue finally left the cat mansion, and after that, the moon flowed for more than ten years without a musical note, to this day.
"I'm not a hero of justice. It's just me and you looked overlapping. That's all it was. Hungry ghosts don't have the strength... they don't have the strength to fight adults..."
Turn away from the blue and get a bitter look.
"Even if I was born Locke. Uh, that just feels like a hassle in my life, right? Me and you, we were born with ogres and suddenly we pulled a hassle. But you're telling me that some gods pick it up if they throw it away. I got caught up in a fate prank, and they saved me. Since then, it's been a completely different life, and well... it's been fun coming. I am. But how have you been?
Asked, Blue chews his lips off reflexively and nags.
Had I not even broken up with the man in front of me, there would have been a completely different life. Selling yourself for a living and being proud of it.
It's not like there's no guilt at all. Not to mention that I can't affirm myself if I suffer from the misery of knowing it and it is also the cause that created this situation today.
"You really don't feel like letting me say that out of my mouth?
With a distorted grin, Blue embarks on herself and stares at the viper.
"Oh, you want me to say it. Admit it. Do me a favor. That's the first time I've thought about it."
To the viper, who hoisted the edge of his mouth wide and laughed back, Blue had turned off his grin, trembling in anger and humiliation, but eventually fell back and relaxed again. No, I got nagged.
"I was wrong about everything! You made that kid feel hard because of me, and he's still in a dangerous situation! So help me!
Plead with the thought of spitting blood.
"Yes, well done"
The viper's tone was pale, although it seemed as though it was a tone of rhetoric, and its gaze seemed blue, as if it had turned into something gentle.
"I've decided on my reply. I guess there's still some respite for that game and the time to do it for now? Just give me a minute. I have some errands I can't take off right now."
Say it. Viper makes the call.
"Hey, I can't take it off. I can't take it off. I can't take it off. That's why I'm Li Mei. You'll be alone for a while, and I'll ask for his guard."
"Okay, but only tonight, you guard it."
"Oh, tonight. Tomorrow, please."
Hang up the phone immediately with a short interaction. I didn't bother calling you by e-mail to make Blue listen to the audio. It's not just me, it's the other guy's. It was a woman's voice, but Blue had a decision to make, even if it was just a short conversation right now, that she would not be amiable between the viper and the man and woman.
"That's why. I can't take either of them off. That's why. Totally... when you both get framed for protecting you."
"The two of you?
"My old benefactor tends to be a bit of a pussy. Like I said, the one who changed my destiny and saved me. Except for the milk. Well, I'm not the only one guarding you, and in the meantime, I just need to help you starve."
"It's me and your boy."
Vipers that become tannic surfaces for blue-correction as if pressing.
"What's your name?
"Suke."
Hearing the name, the viper opens his mouth gently. Blue smiles wildly just because he sees that reaction and can give back.
"Oh... more than anything... well"
Obviously disappointed to drop his shoulder and exhale loudly Viper.
"I'll try to move with me"
You can't just rely on Vipers. If the viper can't move quickly, Blue decided to use that time to keep his hands on himself.
"I don't want to do anything extra - even if I say it,"
"If you're going to Euthanasia City, you shouldn't mess around too much. It's an Ashiya territory."
A white cat appears from the back, as well as a voice that I could hear.
"Hey, were you eavesdropping?
Vipers stare abominably at white cats.
"Am I? For once, I've been taking my seat off and doing it? There's no way I'm interested in talking."
The sarcastic voice returns. It is the hazed cat in front of you that is emitting audio by this heterogeneous intonation, but it is not actually the flesh voice of this cat. Because human language cannot be spoken by cat tongues. It emits audio by different means than the flesh voice.
"That's why I'm gonna borrow this guy for a while, Milk."
Looking down at the white cat milk, Blue said.
"Hmm. Maybe it'll help him improve his performance, and I don't mind."
"Hmm? What do you mean?
Vipers surprise the words of milk.
"Use your head. Bogus. I'm going to set things up with Junko, and I can think of a fight with his mouse. Well, unlike my mouse, his mouse is pinky, and a lot of it is of poor quality. If it's of good quality, it'll lift your power, and you'll have data on Junko's mouse. I honestly don't care about the latter. It's his mouse. It's a lot of fun. '
"Chisel-worthy opponents are welcome with me."
Vipers grin furiously. That laugh I saw when I turned a bunch of cops into flesh pieces in front of blue. More than a decade later, Blue still vividly remembers the sight of that time and this grin stuck on Viper's face.
Nothing can stop this man. I just saw this face and could definitely feel that way about blue.
