After arranging things with Ito Kaiji, Miyauchi Hikage followed Miyauchi Renka, who had been staring at him, downstairs.

There are now four guests sitting in the living room, and his parents are sitting next to them, chatting enthusiastically with these guests.

Among them, Miyauchi Hikage remembered two of them, Meiko Honma's parents. After their daughter was out of danger, they came to Asahigaoka with a lot of gifts to thank them in person.

The other two are Meiko Honma and the other should be her younger brother.

Miyauchi Hikage first set his sights on Meiko Honma.

Looking with the naked eye, one could only think that this was a somewhat frail young girl.

But in the eyes of Miyauchi Hikage at this moment, the other party's physical problem did not seem so simple.

Because around Meiko Honma, there seems to be a layer of dark and gloomy aura that can only be discovered by careful observation.

It's a bit like a curse, but there seems to be some difference in power.

If it was the previous palace shadow, you could only see this much.

But after obtaining card magic and possessing the ability to glimpse a glimpse of fate, Miyauchi Hikage can see more things.

It seemed as if there was a thin invisible thread connecting to the layer of yin energy on Meiko Honma's body.

I'm afraid this is the main reason why Meiko Honma's health has not improved even after 7 or 8 years since she fell into the water.

The direction of this silk thread seems to be pointing to the direction where the other party fell into the water.

Is there some monster or vengeful spirit on that mountain, or is there some other reason?

Also, will the unstable space on the mountain have any impact on Meiko Honma?

After all, the range of unstable space on the mountain is quite large, and there is such a trend in the area of ​​more than ten kilometers in the mountainous area.

The only thing that Miyauchi Hikage could be sure of was that there must be something wrong on the mountain where Meiko Honma almost drowned.

If people like Miyauchi Hikage had not appeared five years ago, Meiko Honma would have naturally drowned according to the original story.

Then, five or six years later, one summer after her friends went to high school, she reappeared before them in the form of a ghost.

Moreover, she appeared as a 16 or 7-year-old girl.

It shouldn't be easy to grow up after becoming a ghost.

After all, at the moment of death, the human soul is basically frozen.

Unless there is external intervention, even if the dead soul becomes a ghost, the most it can do is to become younger by looking back at its life experiences. It is difficult for it to continue to grow after death.

Geng Xizi has been wandering around in the school for half a century, and now she still looks like her youth.

So there must be some reason behind this.

However, whether there is a curse or something else in that mountain, and whether the situation of Meiko Honma will change because of this space shock, is not something that Miyauchi Hikage can judge now.

As he was thinking about this, Miyauchi Hikage's parents coughed lightly a few times, asking Miyauchi Hikage to stop staring at the girl.

"Hikage, this Meiko Honma is the girl you and everyone else helped rescue. After her health improved a little this year, she came here to personally thank you and everyone else who helped her back then."

Only then did Miyauchi Hikage nod slightly towards the other party and greet him in a friendly manner.

Meiko Honma was a little embarrassed and gave him a grateful smile.

Although I have seen photos of Miyauchi Hikage and others several times in the group, the feeling I got when I saw them in real life for the first time was obviously different.

She was now a little conflicted about whether or not she should wait and show the Ripple Breathing in front of Miyauchi Hikage.

Then ask the other person to help you design a breathing method that is more suitable for you.

After all, her health was not good to begin with, and her understanding of ripples was not very good. Even though the reading points she gained every day were invested in her proficiency in ripple qigong, more than a month of practice only allowed her to communicate with other people more normally.

It seems that we are still a long way from being able to live a completely normal life.

If she could get help from Miyauchi Hinata and have him point out the problem with her breathing rhythm, she should be able to recover faster and no longer have to make her parents worry about her.

But she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to speak up, thinking that it might be a bit too deliberate, so there was a hint of confusion on her face.

Miyauchi Hikage could probably guess the other party's plan, so he did nothing. He just asked a few simple questions about the other party's health and life over the years.

In general, compared to the changes in expressions on both sides, the communication in language was still quite unfamiliar.

However, this subtle feeling was still keenly noticed by Gong Nei Guanghua who was sitting and watching on the side.

She was very sensitive to this feeling. After just watching for a few minutes, she could see that the man had a lot to say to Miyauchi Hikage, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

And she also went with us on the spring outing five years ago.

Although she forgot the specific process, she was still deeply impressed by the first aid measures that Miyauchi Hikage gave to the rescued little girl.

Koshigaya Komari, who was only nine years old at the time, blushed when she saw the scene. On the way back, she secretly asked her if Miyauchi Hikage wanted to imitate the prince in Sleeping Beauty and wake the girl up with a kiss.

Then she followed Fujinomiya Kimi to fool Koshigaya Komari, and almost made the other party pretend to be asleep in her house.

But this should be the second time these two people have met in these years, right?

This was probably the first time that Meiko Honma saw Hikage Miyauchi while she was awake.

But why did my younger brother keep staring at the girl's face just now, and Meiko Honma looked at my younger brother with a strange look. Is this what is called "love at first sight"?

Does my brother like this type of girls?

She looked at Meiko Homma.

She is quite pretty. It is said that her mother is European, so she inherited the silver hair.

But he seems a little too weak. He looks tired after just an hour's car ride.

This is already an improvement in the situation. Miyauchi Mitsuka doesn't even know how the other party survived the previous few years.

Faced with such a girl, Miyauchi Guanghua felt pity for her, but she was still a little hesitant if she really wanted her to become her sister-in-law.

But the specific situation depends on what my brother thinks.

After sitting in the living room for a while, the parents on both sides noticed that their children seemed to be making eye contact all the time in the presence of adults, so it was Miyauchi Hikage's father who asked Miyauchi Hikage to take them upstairs to rest for a while, and then take them to visit other families' homes after dinner.

After several young people went upstairs together, the atmosphere during the chat naturally became much more relaxed, and Miyauchi Hikage also successfully unlocked the other party's nickname "Menma".

But because Miyauchi Hikage was accompanied by Renka and Koka, and Honma Meiko was accompanied by her brother, many topics were naturally difficult to talk about, and they were basically still talking about each other's situation over the years.

Miyauchi Hikage really didn't know much about these things.

Because he was familiar with Menma, who drowned, returned to the world as a ghost, and finally disappeared after fulfilling his wish.

My appearance changed her fate, and then this strange "thread" appeared on her body. I don't know what connected them together, causing her to look so weak.

As for Menma herself, she simply mentioned in the group that she was rescued by the residents of Asahigaoka after drowning. She did not mention in detail her situation in the past five years. She probably felt that there was no need to talk about these things in the group.

Soon, Miyauchi Hikage asked what he wanted to know.

When I was first rescued, I just felt weak for the first few months and could no longer run around with others like before, but I still had no problem going to school normally.

But in winter, after staying in bed for a few days due to a cold, her health never recovered.

Even when I went to the hospital for a checkup, I couldn't find the cause. I could only say that it might be a side effect of drowning.

In the following years, she went to school much less frequently and could only study at home.

Occasionally, her childhood friends would come to help with her homework. After repeating a grade, she was admitted to a high school this year with a good atmosphere and relatively close to her home.

Now, relying on the ripple breathing in the diary to adjust her physical condition, she can go to school a few days a week and meet the school's attendance requirements. It can be seen that she is quite satisfied with her current life and is completely unaware that she has other problems.

Is it because it's not fatal that the diary has never issued any warning about this matter?

Miyauchi Hikage thought so in his mind.

However, when she mentioned her childhood friends, the expression on her face showed that the relationship between her friends had become quite distant due to the passage of time.

Although unlike the original animation, the group did not go their separate ways and drifted further and further apart after Menma's death, they have hardly gotten together in the past one or two years.

Even if they came to visit her, they usually came alone or with one or two other people.

But this is also a natural part of growing up.

As time went by, the young playmates gradually found their new goals and slowly left their original group to meet more new friends and a new life.

In the anime, it was the appearance of Menma's "ghost," a supernatural being, that brought the friends who had never forgotten Menma back together.

In this world, they may feel some guilt for Menma's drowning, but Menma is still alive after all.

Although they can still maintain their friendship with Menma, the friendships between others are not so solid.

Under these circumstances, it might not be difficult to get them back together.

But if they want their relationship to return to the level it was before they drowned, it would probably be even more difficult than in the anime.

However, the Menma in front of him was not the Menma he was familiar with in his previous life.

After lying in bed for so many years, the girl's mind is naturally much more mature and strong than it appears in the animation.

At least now it seems that although this Menma feels a little regretful that his childhood friends are drifting apart, he is not too obsessed with it.

Of course, in addition to Miyauchi Hikage asking about Menma's situation in the past five years, Menma was also very interested in the situation in Asahigaoka.

Chichibu City is not far from Asahigaoka, and many people around her would come to this internet-famous village to visit and check in on weekends.

After knowing that Miyauchi Hikage was also a character in a certain work, Meiko Honma, who felt that the distance between them had shortened a lot, also began to pay attention to the videos that Miyauchi Hikage had shot before.

"When I watched those horror videos you shot, Miyauchi-kun, I was a little scared, so I usually called my brother, Acong, to come watch with me."

Menma's words surprised her younger brother Honma Satoshi.

"Hey, sister, those videos you've been watching recently were actually taken by Miyauchi-sama?"

It was not until this time that Meiko Honma realized with some embarrassment that she seemed to have accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

She only found out that those videos were shot by Miyauchi Hikage thanks to the girls in the group who were close to Miyauchi Hikage. They all overlooked the fact that Miyauchi Hikage never appeared in these videos actively and never mentioned these things on his own account.

How should she explain this to Miyauchi Hikage?

Just when Meiko Honma was at a loss for words, Miyauchi Hikage casually waved his hand and took the initiative to smooth things over for her: "Although I recently linked my account to Asahigaoka Media, and I'm the only Asahigaoka person filming videos in Tokyo, I didn't expect you to be so observant that you found me so quickly."

Having said that, Miyauchi Hikage looked at the Honma siblings again and extended an invitation to them: "If you are not in a hurry to go back this afternoon, I can also take you to visit the filming sites nearby."

Chapter 170: Meiko Honma's Tension

After dinner, Miyauchi Hikage took the initiative to take the two siblings of the Honma family to the filming set.

After all, the young people in the village now usually either rest at home or work on the filming set.

The children and teenagers who went on the spring outing together that year were the ones who supported him the most in revitalizing Asahigaoka over the years.

Since they can make a lot of money in their hometown without working long hours under the arrangement of Miyauchi Nichiei, a lot of outsiders now want to join Asahigaoka Media to get a share of the profits. Naturally, few of them will choose to leave Asahigaoka after graduating from high school or university.

What we are filming today is the clip that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, "My knife is coated with a poisonous blade."

The low-quality scenes and exaggerated acting skills could not conceal the relaxed atmosphere on the scene, and the filming was basically completed amidst various laughter.

However, this kind of spoof drama is mainly based on nonsense and pranks. The fact that there was such an atmosphere on the scene was also due to the fact that there were no major problems in the scheduling of the shooting scene by Taku Koshigaya and Kagayama Kaede, and the entire crew was able to maintain a stable state to carry out the shooting.

"Acong, why don't you give it a try? This TV series is a small-budget comedy. The extras don't need any acting skills and don't have many lines. It should be a good experience. Maybe when the TV series is broadcast, you will have a chance to see yourself on TV."

Miyauchi Hikage asked this question to Honma Satoshi, and it can be seen that the thirteen-year-old boy is still very interested in these things.

Originally, he was a little hesitant looking at his sister wearing a mask, as if he was worried that his sister might not be used to the overly lively environment on the set.

However, Meiko Honma waved at him and encouraged him to give it a try.

"I'm fine, and with Miyauchi-kun here to look after me, nothing serious will happen. If I feel unwell, there are plenty of places to rest nearby."

She really wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Miyauchi Hikage. Before, either Miyauchi Hikage's sister or her brother was around, so she couldn't find any opportunity.

As time passed, she felt a little nervous. She could only stay here until night and would have to go back.

Therefore, when she saw her brother happily choosing clothes and putting on makeup under the guidance of the crew members, she couldn't help but look at Miyauchi Hikage who was standing next to her.

She was almost a year older than the other person, but because of her weak body, her height was still slightly shorter than that of normal girls of the same age.

But Miyauchi Hikage was different. Not only did his skin look nothing like that of a boy who grew up in the countryside, but at the age of 16 he was already nearly meters tall, more than a head taller than her.

Coupled with the other person's confident temperament, Meiko Honma, who has been staying at home and rarely going out in recent years, couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when standing in front of the other person.

So much so that when she finally got a chance to chat alone, she didn't know what to say to the other party at first.
