I'm making ghost stories in Tokyo

Chapter 71 Chanel
The drizzle stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky were dispersed by the sun, which cast beams of light in the shrine. At the end of the beams of light were tree roots, mosses, and paths shining in the sun.

Tetsuya Uehara sat on the tatami, enjoying the scenery. He looked at the beautiful scenery and listened to the birds singing.

There were also Suzuki Aika and Chino Ai in the room.

Kayano Ai found a notebook in the house. It was a notebook with a black cover. There was a small crack on the cover, revealing the white pages inside. It looked like this notebook was often used by its owner.

Miss Miko said coldly: "Mr. Uehara, this is Ms. Chanel's diary."

Suzuki Aihua explained to the miko: "Heisei Kana is a senior believer of Yae Shrine. She is a teacher, 56 years old this year. Miss Ai grew up under her care. When Yae Shrine was in trouble, she often donated money to the shrine."

"She died a week ago. It was suicide."

"She had no relatives, and no one came to collect her body. It was Miss Ai who held her funeral. Miss Ai found this diary in her room."

“Then, she came to me for help.”

Chino Ai nodded, indicating that things were just as Suzuki Aihua said.

Tetsuya Uehara was not in a hurry to take the diary. He looked at Kayano Ai curiously. The shrine maiden tilted her little head and touched her cold face.

Kayano Ai asked in a pleasant voice: "Mr. Uehara, is there something on my face?"

Uehara Tetsuno shook his head and asked, "Why is Miss Ai's personality so..."

Suzuki Aihua answered for her: "The shrine maidens of Yae Shrine are appointed by the previous generation of shrine maidens and trained from a young age."

"Miss Ai has been staying in the shrine since she was a child. She has no experience interacting with people of her own age, so she has a rather cold personality."

Kayano Ai bowed her head slightly and nodded.

Uehara Tetsuno understood clearly that, to put it bluntly, this shrine maiden was as pure as a piece of white paper.

It was really ill-intentioned of Suzuki Aihua to be friends with her.

Let him pollute such a blank paper.

Tetsuya Uehara opened his diary.

Above is a beautiful written record.

[January 2023, 1, sunny]

[I got my salary today, 30 yen]

[Transfer 10 yen to Kikue, leaving 20 yen]

[Kikuzhi is going to college]

[February 2023, 2, sunny to cloudy]

[This kid, Miyata Kikue, wrote to me and asked me to give her an extra 10 yen, saying that she was sick. I know that she was in a relationship.]

[She is at the age when she loves beauty. She wants some money to dress herself up.]

[I knew she was lying, but I gave her the money anyway]

[I warned her that I support you to have a relationship during your best years, but please don’t forget that the purpose of a relationship is love itself, not material conditions.]

[Watching the sunrise, eating steak, watching movies, shopping with my boyfriend, these things can be done by one person, what is the difference between two people? 】

The difference is that you are with the person you like.

[All material consumption is just a means, never forget the essence]

[I can understand that you want to look good in front of your boyfriend. I think boys also want to give you better]

[But, Auntie hopes that you will not let the means outweigh the purpose, and material things affect love]

[Food that costs thousands of dollars per person and food that costs hundreds of dollars per person have different experiences. When you are with someone you like, expensive food has its own advantages, and cheap food has its own advantages.]

[As long as there is love, even if you don’t eat anything, don’t do anything, you just look at each other and don’t talk quietly, it’s very beautiful]

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

[I don’t understand what’s wrong with everyone lately, pointing fingers at me behind my back]

[They looked at me strangely, as if I had done something extraordinary. I asked them, but they wouldn't tell me.]

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

【So that's it...】

[It’s so sad. I really can’t stand their criticism. Rumors are spreading like the fragrance of pomegranate flowers on campus. I think I should move to another city.]

[April 2023, 4] [Ms. Ai Yi, I am very grateful to you. I have donated to so many students in my life, but they didn’t come when I was in the most difficult time of my life]

【Only you came】

[I'm sorry, I know that a broken cup will only hurt the person who comes to clean it up]

【I sincerely apologize to you】

【Excuse me, please】

After reading the diary, Tetsuya Uehara roughly understood what had happened.

He asked, "So, what is the rumor?"

"Why did she commit suicide?"

Suzuki Aihua explained: "She is donating to a poor student, Miyata Kikue. I have investigated and found out that she was already a small internet celebrity when she was in high school."

"To attract attention, she posted Ms. Chanel's letter on the Internet and exaggerated Ms. Chanel's background."

"She fabricated a story that Ms. Chanel was once a prostitute, and she worked hard to become a teacher. After becoming a teacher, she used her salary to support poor students."

"This video went viral on the Internet and caused a lot of trouble for Ms. Chanel."

"As for why Ms. Chanel committed suicide, you'll have to ask Ms. Ai."

Uehara Tetsuno suddenly discovered the blind spot.

He said, "Wait, you said, she was a little internet celebrity when she was in high school?"

"With the earning power of a small internet celebrity, it shouldn't be a problem for her to go to college, right?"

Suzuki Aihua nodded lightly.

She said, "Who would complain that they have too much money?"

Uehara Tetsuno looked at Miss Miko and asked, "Then why did Ms. Chanel commit suicide?"

Kayano Ai spoke coldly and slowly.

……

In a convenience store.

Chanel moved to a new city and worked odd jobs as a salesperson in a convenience store.

A drunk man walked into the store.

Chanel smiled and said, "Welcome."

The drunkard gave a disgusting smile, which was like a rotten oyster with a small hole pried open.

He said, "Hey, miss, how much is it per night?"

The smile on Chanel's face froze.

She said coldly: "I'm not a lady!"

The drunk man shook his phone and said, "Don't lie. I know you were a prostitute before. It's impossible for a prostitute to become a good person."

"Tell me how much it is, I can add more money!"

Chanel took a feather blanket from the shelf, waved it around and lashed out, "Get out! Get out!"

The drunk man started fighting with her, and it seemed that Miss Chanel was about to lose the upper hand.

Just then, a cool girl walked in. Seeing someone coming in, the drunk man didn't want to make a big deal.

He said, "Lucky you!"

The only response he got was Miss Chanel's cold snort.

The drunk left in a hurry.

Chanel looked at the cold girl, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Ai Yi, I made you laugh."

Kayano Ai pointed at the corner of Kana's mouth.

During the fight just now, Chanel had a scratch on the corner of her mouth. Chanel curled her lips casually, then stretched out her thumb and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking indescribably cool.

Then, she smiled like a witch at first, and then tears rolled out of her eyes.
