No, it’s not so much that I vaguely noticed it, but rather that the other party’s performance was very obvious.
Unlike in the past when she was always noisy and speaking incomprehensible terms, now Rikka Takanashi has suddenly become much quieter and rarely goes out and runs around.
Instead, she always stayed at home, not even going to school, and just locked herself in her room.
To be honest, Tohka Takanashi felt that it would be better to let Rikka be as naughty as before.
At least my sister looked more lively and energetic at that time, instead of always sitting in the room like a doll like now, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her, which made people feel distressed.
No one knows her sister better than her. Rikka is the type of person who seems to be sunny and cheerful at first glance, even a little too cheerful, but in fact she keeps a lot of things in her heart and does not tell others, but just bears it silently alone.
So even if Touka tried to communicate with her and find out why she became like this, it would be in vain in the end.
The only clue is the home visit that day. Touka doesn't know what the child who came to visit said to Rika, so that from that day on, Rika became what she is now.
But even if she found the school authorities of Toyonozaki and asked them to help find the student named Yamada Fairy, the school's answer was "There is no student with this name in Toyonozaki." They even showed her the list of this year's student council members... This made Touka Kotori feel creepy, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
"Rikka, are you going to school today?" Through the door, Juuka whispered to Rikka who had locked herself inside.
"No." Rikka responded listlessly.
"Your teacher and classmates are worried about you..." Touka tried to persuade her.
"Sorry..." But Rikka just apologized quietly. The trembling voice made Touka feel a little sad, and she didn't have the heart to continue persuading her.
"I've prepared lunch and put it in the refrigerator. Don't forget to eat it then... My sister has to go to work. Remember to call me if you need anything."
In the end, Shihua could only repeat what she had said yesterday and left home sadly.
In the room, Rikka Takanashi was sitting on the bed with lifeless eyes.
She no longer had the golden contact lenses she used to wear, but even so, she could still "see".
The changes began on the home visit day.
On the night of the home visit, the moment she took off the blindfold, Rikka Takanashi discovered that the eye wearing the contact lens seemed to see something strange for a moment.
But she didn't care too much at that time.
But as time passed, what she could see became clearer and clearer, and she finally realized what she was seeing.
偢 is a dead person.
In other words, it was once a certain kind of human existence.
Some of them look no different from normal people, except that they have holes on their bodies that indicate their causes of death; some have completely lost their human form, like severely decayed zombies, with rotting and festering wounds on their bodies that are disgusting; some look very normal and can speak, but if you listen carefully, you will find that their words are illogical, as if they are just repeating what they said before they died, which looks particularly weird when combined with their normal appearance; some can only wander the streets like monsters, completely losing their form...
But no matter which one, it gives Rikka Takanashi a very dangerous feeling.
She didn't know where that feeling came from, but the girl had a premonition that if even just one of the dead discovered that she could see it, everything would be over.
Regardless of what would happen to herself, her sister Juuka might also be harmed, and this is something Rikka wants to avoid at all costs.
But she really didn't have the confidence to remain calm in front of those monsters and pretend that she couldn't see them at all, so the girl simply gave up going out, even stopped going to school, and hid at home.
But is this kind of life going to continue forever? When will it end?
Rikka Takanashi is also very unsure and can only take one step at a time, hoping that when she wakes up one day, she will find that everything now is just a nightmare, everything has returned to normal, and she is still the ordinary person who runs around with a blindfold, trying to use the Evil King's True Eyes to see the invisible boundary line.
"Why did it become like this..."
The girl looked at the mirror in the room. She looked so haggard and ordinary in the mirror. Even her ahoge had lost its former spirit and drooped listlessly. "When I went there, I was really looking forward to the Evil King's True Eyes being able to see the invisible boundary..."
But after really seeing something incredible, I was so scared that I didn't even have the courage to step out of the house. It was really ugly.
As she had good grades in Chinese, she naturally knew the idiom "Ye Gong loves dragons", but she never thought that she would be such a person.
Just when Rikka Takanashi was feeling sorry for herself, a strange sound suddenly came from the windowsill.
The girl looked over there curiously.
Then I saw a very strong rope hanging down from a higher floor.
Is someone working at height, repairing an air conditioner or cleaning the exterior of an apartment?
While thinking this in her heart, Rikka Takanashi couldn't help but walk towards the balcony.
But as the rope began to shake, as if something was sliding down from above, the girl suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart.
Could the creatures sliding down now be of the same kind? If they invaded even my room, where would I hide?
At this moment, a figure slid down the rope quickly and jumped onto her balcony with a clean and neat movement.
The girl was so scared that she instinctively picked up the phone to call the police, but when she saw the other party's face, she paused to take out her phone.
"The magician of Cang Yin..."
"Hey," Fuyuo Kishi, who looked pretty good, greeted the chuunibyou girl who had lost her former spirit through the balcony glass, "Long time no see, Miss Evil King True Eye User."
Chapter 279 An Ordinary Story
"Why would the magician from Cang Yin come from above..."
Rikka Takanashi tilted her head and looked at Fuyuo Kishiku, somewhat confused.
"Of course I'm here to find you."
Dongwei Kishi coughed twice, then smiled and said without hesitation, "Would you like to go out for a walk with me?"
"I……"
Rikka Takanashi was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes, which had been shining, quickly dimmed.
In her current condition, she obviously couldn't leave the room at will.
If she saw those walking corpses again, even Rikka Takanashi herself didn’t know if her emotions would get out of control.
But even if I tell this kind of thing to others, everyone will definitely think that I am still a middle school student and will treat it as a joke.
Even if it was a Cang Yin magician, it would definitely be the same...
Seeing that Rikka Takanashi's expression became sad and numb, Fuyuo Kishi suddenly stretched out his hand.
Rikka blinked, not understanding what he meant.
But the next moment, her originally numb little face was filled with shock.
The eye mask on the bedside table suddenly floated up into the air and flew into the hands of Dongwei Kishi.
It was only then that Dongwei Kishi winked at her, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Don't worry, you are not the only one who has supernatural powers."
Suddenly, the girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Dongwei Kiku with wet eyes.
Fuyuo Kishikuni looked back at her with gentle yet firm eyes, silently encouraging the girl.
Then, as if her overwhelmed heart had finally found an outlet, Rikka Takanashi burst into tears, sobbing: "I, I'm really scared... Why did I see that kind of weird thing... No one else can see it... I'm also afraid of spreading the misfortune to others, so I dare not tell anyone..."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Dongwei Kishi touched her head and comforted her softly, "You have done very well to be able to hold on until now."
Rikka Takanashi greedily enjoyed the warmth from the other's palm, as if she had finally found a small harbor to dock in the ocean of loneliness. Her fingers tightly clenched the corner of Fuyuki Kishi's clothes, feeling insecure in her heart.
After the girl's emotions finally stabilized, Fuyuo Kishi put the blindfold on her and said, "If you don't mind, can you talk to me?"
"Your experience of obtaining the Evil King's True Eye, your first wish, the thing you pursued wholeheartedly..."
Rikka Takanashi was silent for a long while. She sorted out her emotions, sniffed, and then slowly began to talk about her past.
It wasn't a particularly eventful or dramatic story worth recording.
She is just an ordinary, even somewhat clumsy girl. Because she finds it difficult to accept her father's sudden death, she firmly believes that his death has not disappeared from this world, but exists on the other side of the 'invisible boundary line'. Her Evil King's True Eye is the way to see him again.
Everything is just a lie that I maintain with a childish attitude because I am unwilling to accept the reality.
"I wanted to keep deceiving myself like this, but three days ago, the Evil King's True Eye really appeared."
The girl covered her eye with the eye patch and said in a trembling voice: "I can really see things that should not appear in this world... But not only am I not happy about obtaining the Evil King's True Eye, but I am also very scared... I am afraid of the dead malice... I am even more afraid..."
She was even more afraid that if her deceased father was like this, leaving only malice lingering in the world, what would she do? Whenever she thought of her father becoming like that, the girl couldn't help but tremble, and felt that her persistence over the years had become meaningless.
That's why she escaped and locked herself in her room.
Even though I know this won't work, I still can't take a single step forward.
"It's okay, this is normal. Anyone would feel scared if they encountered such a situation."
Fuyuo Kishihisa gently stroked her head. Seeing the pain and sadness on the girl's face, which looked much younger than her actual age, he said seriously, "As you can see, I am also a person with supernatural powers. So Rikka, go meet your father and let him become a Buddha. Don't worry no matter what happens. I will be there to protect you. Just trust me."
Rikka Takanashi said nothing, her petite body trembling slightly.
Is this a bit too hasty? Fuyuo Kishikushin thought.
Originally, I thought that because of my identity, I had established a certain degree of trust with the other party in the past. If I took the initiative to reveal some of my superpowers now, maybe I could help her untie some of her knots. But now it seems that it is not that simple.
"If you really don't want to go, Rikka..."
Just when Fuyu Kishi was thinking about how to adjust his strategy to remedy the situation, Rikka Takanashi suddenly spoke.
"I'm going."
"Rikka?" Fuyuo Kishikyuu was stunned: "Are you not afraid anymore?"
"I'm really scared, because I'm a coward who doesn't even dare to admit the reality." The girl said softly, "But when I think about my father who can't be freed and is still wandering in the world with regrets... I feel that I must go. Whether it's to convey my feelings to him or to help him get rid of his worries, I have to go!"
It was not because of her own situation, but so that her father could become a Buddha without regrets. Even if it was like sifting chaff, the girl still made such a decision.
This made Dongwei Kishiku unable to help but re-examine the petite girl in front of him.
"Rikka, you are really amazing," he praised sincerely, "Compared to some people, you are very brave."
Takanashi Rikka sniffed, the tears on her face were not yet dry, but she still smiled shyly: "After all, I am also the user of the Evil King's True Eye! Purifying the invisible boundary line... is also my responsibility!"
"In that case, let's set off immediately without further delay."
As Fuyu Kishige said this, he hugged the girl tightly, and as she screamed, he grabbed the rope outside the balcony with his other hand and jumped out with her. Then, he was captured by the earth's gravity and fell rapidly downwards.
“Eeh?! Wait… until, at least let me wash my face… Eeyahhhh——!”
The girl's screams pierced the silence of the neighborhood. For a long time, the ghost girl who had not washed her face became an urban legend circulating in the area.
Chapter 280: The invisible boundary line exists
A heavy motorcycle that reminds people of the Terminator roared, and with almost no slowing down, it pressed the drainage ditch to turn the corner, speeding at lightning speed on the mountain road, heading towards Rikka Takanashi's hometown.
Thanks to Rikka Takanashi's habit of wearing Lolita skirts even at home, there would be no sense of incongruity even if they set out without changing clothes. Otherwise, Fuyuo Kishi would have to run around the street with a girl in pajamas.
"Why are you riding this kind of motorcycle? I thought you, a Cang Yin magician, could drive a car... or at least a more elegant and quiet means of transportation..."
Following the advice of Fuyuo Kishihisa, Rikka Takanashi kept her eyes closed the whole time to prevent herself from triggering the Evil King's True Eye on the road and seeing things she shouldn't see.
However, the feeling of being pushed back by the heavy motorcycle and the howling wind around her still made the girl feel insecure, and she couldn't help but complain loudly.
After all, in the girl's cognition, although Fuyuo Kishi always gave her a feeling of being omnipotent, his physique seemed to be a little weak and he always looked sickly.
——In fact, if you think about it carefully, just carrying a person down from the third floor at high altitude is not something that ordinary people can do.
"It's because I don't know how much time I have left, so I have to seize every minute and do my best to do what I want to do," Dongwei Kishi replied nonchalantly. Although it would be somewhat different from his own character, there would be no punishment if it was only to this extent. "Besides that, it's to leave traces of my existence in this world. Only in this way can my coming to this world be meaningful, right?"
"Amazing……"
Rikka Takanashi said in a low voice.
She had never thought about such a thing, or rather, even if she had similar ideas, it would be unlikely for her to put them into practice like Fuyuo Kishi.
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but quietly opened her eyes and glanced at Dongwei Kishi. However, due to the angle, she couldn't see his face. She could only see his broad back and the white hair exposed under his helmet.
It turns out that a boy’s back is so broad, making people feel safe?
Looking at such a Fuyuo Kishi, Rikka Takanashi's originally somewhat uneasy heart became less uneasy.
Thanks to the speed of Fuyuo Kishikuna, who can catch Ebito together with the AE86, it took less than two hours to reach Kotori's hometown, which originally took a long time.
It was a country village near the sea.
However, this time, Fuyu Kishi was not going to Rikka Takanashi's hometown, but that seaside.
"Have you ever seen one?"
"Well, three years ago... on the night my father left, I saw it," Takanashi Rikka's voice was a little unreal, "I saw my father through the boundary line. That's why I feel that he has always stayed here, at the other end of the boundary line, watching over me..."
"That's it, then."
After parking the motorcycle, Fuyu Kishi followed Takanashi Rikka to the place where she saw the "invisible boundary line" that year.
