In fact, a few days ago, when Kitahara Sora mentioned the "contract" with the observer, Suzune almost covered her mouth in disbelief, and tears immediately flowed out of her eyes...

As a reward for the winner, Beiyuan Kong also obtained a great deal of spatial authority, and was almost granted the greatest tolerance as long as it did not affect the rules of the world.

So when Suzune heard Kitahara Sora ask her if she wanted to go together, she agreed without even thinking about it. Just as the exams were over and summer vacation was about to begin, the little girl immediately canceled her class training and decided to follow her brother to see everyone's world.

Although everyone can go home, the procedures still need to be followed.

When Suzune first arrived in the countryside, she was quite curious, but as she walked, she calmed down. Everyone lived in one of three parallel realities, and this place was actually no different from the countryside in Japan where she lived.

An old man wearing a straw hat was driving his cattle slowly along the road at a leisurely pace like taking a stroll.

The bell on the old cow's neck made a tinkling sound as it walked. The old man also turned his head curiously to take a closer look. After a moment of confusion, he showed a look of understanding.

He knows people from all the villages around him, but he hasn't heard of anyone with children going to school in the city. They probably come here to travel during the summer vacation.

After the old man walked away, another middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf came out from the vegetable garden. When she noticed the two men, she was slightly stunned, then smiled politely and nodded.

At this time, Lingyin thought about it and walked over with a sweet smile. After a few simple conversations, the aunt's cheerful voice came out.

When the simple country folk heard the name, their smiles became even kinder, and they pointed at the city with gestures.

Under the loud voices unique to rural women, a series of key words such as "gentle child" and "watch him grow up" also floated over from their mouths intermittently.

After obtaining the useful information, Lingyin jumped back to her brother, but she had two red tomatoes in her hands.

After Kitahara Sora gave the old lady a thankful look, he looked at the girl with some reproach, "Why do you want someone else's things?"

"I don't want it either, but Auntie insists on giving it to me. If I give her money, she'll get angry."

After making a face, Suzune opened her mouth, took a big bite of the tomato, and then handed the other tomato to Kitahara Sora.

"After Auntie knew that we were acquaintances of Uncle Xiaolin, she became very polite."

After thinking for a while, Kitahara Sora took the tomato with some reluctance, "Daogu is indeed very famous. He is the only one in the village who works in that profession. At first everyone kept their distance from him, but then they gradually came to understand him, and then gradually became grateful and respectful to him. He can be considered a celebrity."

"Uncle Xiaolin used to have this kind of job. When he came to visit us that day, I just felt that he was very quiet and didn't like to talk much." Lingyin thought about it and smiled, "It felt amazing."

"It's really amazing. This kind of job is not something that ordinary people can do. And he is not a talkative person. Maybe he will become quieter after working in that field for a long time."

Beiyuan Kong took a bite of the tomato. As the sweetness and fragrance of the vegetable spread in his mouth, he sighed and said, "Someone will leave in everyone's family, and he is the only one who can give respect to those who travel far away."

Lingyin nodded and pointed to the convenience store fifty meters ahead and said, "Go forward, pass the convenience store and the public bathhouse in front, and then walk another fifty meters to the uncle's house."

Kitahara Sora nodded, "It's real time now. We are going to experience the life of an uncle. Are you ready?"

Lingyin nodded vigorously, reached out and held her brother's hand tightly, took a big bite of the tomato, and nodded vigorously.

As a burst of crimson light burst out from Kitahara Sora's pupils, Lingyin felt her vision become blurry.

When the surrounding scenery became clear again, what came into view was the bustling streets of Tokyo. A middle-aged man with a sad face was standing on the street corner holding a cello, looking helpless and confused.

The symphony orchestra that he had just joined was suddenly disbanded, and Kobayashi Daigo was faced with career problems. But temporary unemployment was not a serious setback for an adult.

The problem is that this guy is already heavily in debt. Not only does he face high rent in Tokyo, but he also just took out a loan to buy a super expensive cello.

After Lingyin recovered from the strange feeling of her body being translucent, she complained to the distressed uncle: "Huh? So you have such a past? After graduating from college, you have been pursuing your dream of music but have achieved nothing. After working so hard for so long, you are actually heavily in debt in the end. Have you always been so unlucky?"

"That's why he and his wife finally returned to their hometown in the countryside."

Kitahara Sora explained with a smile: "This is the helplessness of life. Big cities are not suitable for everyone. There are thousands of people who have musical dreams, but how many of them can truly realize their dreams? The vast majority of people will be smoothed out and eventually choose to compromise for the sake of life."

As they were talking, the two followed the unlucky uncle back home. He confessed his experience to his wife, but Mika Kobayashi not only did not blame him, but encouraged him gently and even suggested selling the cello and living in the countryside to pay off his debts.

After following her husband for decades, her life has not improved, but has become worse and worse. What would happen to other women? This is probably why Uncle Kobayashi loves his wife so much.

His wife was not only beautiful, but also extremely sensible.

Afterwards, Kitahara Sora and Suzune's vision became blurry again. When the world returned from its distorted state, their vision had turned into the appearance of Okura Village just now. This was where the unlucky uncle grew up.

On the first day back home, when he went to a convenience store to buy daily necessities, he met his childhood playmate, who was also married, and next to him was his wife, and there was a cute little girl between them.

The childhood friend recognized Xiaolin Daigo at a glance and called out his name with a look of surprise, and enthusiastically asked him when he came back and whether he was leaving.

The old friends were extremely excited to meet each other, and the childhood friend excitedly introduced him to his wife beside him: The child of the Kobayashi family, his close friend, is now working in Tokyo and is a respectable musician!

As he said this, he urged his daughter to call him uncle.

Faced with the praise from his childhood playmate and the sweet uncle from the kid, the unlucky uncle could only smile awkwardly and pat her head kindly. He really didn't have the face to talk about his failure experience...

After that, everyone Kobayashi Daigo met would praise him, saying things like "Kobayashi's kid has made it big and has made something of himself in Tokyo."

The impression of those elder sisters-in-law, Xiaolin Daigo, is actually very vague, and many people don’t know who they are. Although many of them said that they were held in their arms when they were young...

Yamagata Prefecture is located in the north, and the cold wind starts to blow here as soon as autumn comes. The cold wind blows on the face like a knife, and it also makes Xiaolin Daigo feel gloomy in his heart.

Since he came back, he has been trying hard to find a job, but either the salary is too low or it is totally unsuitable for him, and his family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.

Just when he was at his wits' end, he found a special job advertisement in an inconspicuous corner of a recruitment magazine.

Recruiting travel assistants: no age limit, high salary guaranteed, very short actual working hours, no academic qualifications or work experience required.

This information successfully aroused Kobayashi Daigo's curiosity, but when he excitedly found the job address and pushed open the store door, he was dumbfounded by a row of coffins in the store.

Then, a middle-aged woman named "Fujian" received her.

After hearing what Kobayashi wanted to say, Togashi explained with some embarrassment: "Ah, that was misleading. For the so-called journey, we need to find someone to be an assistant to the person going to that world, that is, an undertaker."

After hearing these three words, Kobayashi Daigo was stunned. He immediately stood up from the sofa, bowed, and tried to slip away.

But at this moment, an old man walked in from the door, pulled Xiaolin back without asking why, and almost half-forced him to sit back on the sofa.

The old man's name is Sasaki Ikuei, and he is the president of this office.

The shrewd president saw Uncle Kobayashi's embarrassment. Without wasting any words, he took out a pile of banknotes from his pocket, each of which was a 10,000 yen bill.

Looking at the astonished Xiaolin Daigo, he said directly: "The monthly salary is 500,000, and every day is a holiday when there is no business. If you sign the contract now, this money will be an advance payment of your salary."

This straight ball made Kobayashi Daigo helpless. He stared at the banknotes, swallowed hard, and then sat down again as if possessed by a ghost.

Lingyin, who was watching from the side, stuck out her tongue and said in a weird way, "The old man is very courageous."

"This is a highly profitable industry, and there is no shortage of money." Beiyuan Kong looked at the two people who began to discuss, and said softly: "In the plot, it is said that the old man's health is not as good as before, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to recruit an assistant."

As he spoke, his gaze changed again.

Kobayashi Daigo began to read relevant books carefully, and started to learn makeup, massage, and all other basic work from Ms. Togashi.

He didn't dare to tell his wife about his work, nor did he dare to tell others what he was doing. Kobayashi Daigo didn't really like this job, but the boss offered too much...

Suddenly one day, Sasaki hurriedly walked in from outside the store. The resolute old man picked up his black box from the workshop, said, "There is work, follow me." Then he turned and walked out the door.

Xiao Xin Meng thought that someone had really passed away. When he arrived at the workplace with a nervous and uneasy mood, he found out that he had been fooled. This was actually the recording site of a TV show?!

The old man needed to record a burial teaching video, so the poor uncle became a ready-made model, lying on the teaching table wearing only a loincloth... It is said that every burial master's first lesson starts with playing the role of a corpse.

The old man started to get busy. He stood on Kobayashi Daigo, covered him with a white cloth, and put his hand under the cloth.

While untying his loincloth, he explained the details and methods, such as how to massage the customer, relax stiff muscles, and clean the body. The most basic step is that the customer's body must not be exposed under any circumstances.

The cool touch of ethanol passed through his body, and the pungent smell penetrated his nose. The cowardly uncle was a little scared. He began to tremble all over, and veins on his forehead bulged.

When Uncle Sasaki wiped the sensitive parts of his body and stuffed something into his vagina, the embarrassing uncle couldn't help but twitched violently.

However, this unexpected event resulted in the kind old man's usual furious scolding.

"Because the sphincter will fail after a person dies, the anus needs to be blocked to prevent intestinal fluid from flowing out. Before that, the body needs to be wiped clean in all directions." Kitahara Sora explained softly.

"Eh?"

Looking at the funny old man, Lingyin, who had been trying to hold back her laughter, suddenly widened her eyes and said apologetically, "So that's what you're doing?"

After wiping the body, the old man picked up a pair of clean underwear and put it into the white cloth. As the white cloth continued to shake, he handed in a set of shrouds.

After a while, Sasaki lifted the white cloth, and Kobayashi Daigo, neatly dressed in traditional kimono, appeared in front of the camera.

Finally, the old man took out the cosmetics from his black box and began to cut Kobayashi Daigo's hair, shave, and put on makeup.

Under extreme tension, Xiao Lin felt his nose itchy. He sneezed, and then the sharp razor cut a sharp cut on his face. Under the dual stimulation of the sharp sting and the touch of blood, this shameless uncle finally broke down and screamed in fear...

"Uncle, you're embarrassed, right?" Kitahara Sora asked softly.

"I don't know. Maybe any normal person would feel uncomfortable facing this kind of scene." After thinking about it from another person's perspective, Lingyin gave a pertinent answer.

"I also can't imagine how such a coward like him could remain fearless after being chosen. His first mission was to a world with real demons."

Kitahara Sora patted Suzune's head, "When he first entered the mission, Yukino arranged for three people to enter the cursed school. In the end, the other couple backed out, and Daigo went in alone."

"and then?"

"Then everyone who escaped died, but he survived."

"Amazing."

The world began to change again.

Kobayashi Daigo finally met his first real client, an elderly woman living alone, but unfortunately she was dead before being discovered for two weeks.

When Kobayashi and the president walked into the room, a rotten stench hit them in the face, and the shameful uncle began to react when he smelled the odor.

But when the president lifted the old man's quilt, he finally couldn't help but retching. After the quilt was lifted, it was like poking a fly nest. A large number of flies flew into the air, and the rotting and festering corpse was covered with writhing maggots...

People are subject to misfortunes at any time, and not everyone can die peacefully. For deformed or defective bodies, the undertaker needs to repair them, and highly decomposed bodies need to be cleaned, which sometimes takes more than ten hours.

Because bringing comfort to people in both worlds is the original intention of undertakers.

It was his first real job, and Kobayashi Daigo kept vomiting until his face turned pale and he almost went into shock...but the president remained calm and focused on repairing and cleaning the old man's body.

When the work was finished, the stench of the shameful uncle's body lingered for a long time, so he ran to the bathhouse and took a bath for several hours before he dared to go home.

That night, his wife prepared a sumptuous lunch for him, but when he saw the raw chicken on the table ready for hot pot, he vomited again. Then he suddenly hugged his wife and eagerly sniffed her scent.

Only in this way can he feel the breath of the living...

“It’s all very hard.”

As Lingyin sighed, the world began to twist again, and she tightened her brother's hand again.

This time it was a normal customer, and Kobayashi Daigo was still observing the president's actions. Today's customer was a lady who had a warm smile when she was alive. The president cleaned her body, put on her favorite clothes when she was alive, and then put his hands together.

He applied foundation, blush, eyeliner, and her favorite lipstick on her... As the president completed each step, the pale-faced lady gradually showed her most beautiful look.

At this moment, beauty seems to be eternal.

At this time, the middle school girl crawled over on her knees, and she lay beside the woman and called her mother. She cried loudly, saying that this was my mother, and she looked like this when she slept a few days ago.

The relatives who were watching quietly around finally couldn't help crying, or wiped their tears secretly.

Xiao Lin suddenly felt a strong shock. He suddenly felt that being a mortician was not a shameful profession. This profession was full of awe and respect for life. It was sacred and could not be desecrated.

When a person is born, someone welcomes him with a smile. When he dies, he should also be respected and leave in the most decent way without any regrets.

Seeing this, Beiyuan Kong sighed slightly, "Dawu's awakened profession is a priest, the priesthood closest to heaven. Perhaps awakening to such a profession requires faith."

He suddenly remembered what Xue No said to him before leaving. She said, "You know what? Since my ability has become stronger, my childhood memories have become clearer. I can even recall the warm touch of my mother's body. That feeling is very similar to the feeling of you hugging me tightly."

"My life really started when I met you. Anyone and everything around you is my happiness..."

"When I was born, it was snowing heavily, so my name is Yukino... When I was born, there was no smile to welcome me. But when I left, you said goodbye with tears, so I have no regrets."

Many people do not have time to say their last words before leaving, so they need undertakers to make up for their regrets.

Lingyin's eyes were red, but she smiled and said, "This is when uncle grows up."

After hearing Lingyin's summary, Kitahara Sora nodded. He remembered Master Yi's lines in the LOL game in his previous life, which were full of vicissitudes and a hint of fatigue.

'A true master always has the heart of an apprentice.'

Yes, life is like this too. We keep learning as long as we live. We are growing every moment, and we can understand something every time we experience something.

Gradually, Xiaolin Daigo began to understand this job as sacred and solemn, and he regained his confidence...

But what wall is impenetrable? Word of his new job spread among his acquaintances. The aunt who had held him when he was a child looked disgusted and tried to persuade him earnestly, saying that there were so many other things he could do, so he had to do this.

The childhood friend led his daughter past quickly. The little girl raised her hand and was about to call him uncle, but was stopped by her father. The childhood playmate taught the daughter with a tone of disgust and taboo, saying that she was not allowed to call him uncle in the future and must stay away from him when she saw him.

It seemed as if overnight, all the friendly neighbors became strangers.

When Xiaolin returned home, he found that his wife did not come to the door to greet him with a smile as usual, but watched the video of him playing the role of a corpse in silence...

The wife's eyes became cold and strange, and her attitude was blunt.

Either resign or divorce. Even Xiaolin's desperate explanations were useless. Even when he grabbed his wife's hand, she felt as if something dirty had touched her and screamed in fear.

Then his wife went back to her parents' home, and even his closest and dearest loved ones could not understand. In the end, Xiaolin was left alone in the cold home.

He huddled at his feet and trembled, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

"Hey, Onii-chan."
