章 122: Keep Quiet at the Funeral, or You Will Be Entangled by Some Strange Things~
Kawaki watched helplessly as Tsukuyo completed the ceremony and calmly retreated. Then, she sat down calmly.
"Hey!" Kawaki shouted in a low voice, "Didn't you notice that the old man who was with Kagura-chan on the way here had a subtle resemblance to this old man? No, it was a bit wrong to say that it was similar. To be precise, it was exactly the same!"
"Huh?" Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki as if he was looking at an idiot, "I don't know what you're talking about; it's just an ordinary dead old man."
"No," Kawaki was a little mad, "That is that, right? It is said that after a person dies, the soul will cross the Sanzu River, but if there is an unfulfilled wish before that, it will remain in the world, that is that!"
"What nonsense are you saying?" Tsukuyo sighed softly, and then continued, "The old people all have very subtle similarities. You should not believe that legend. Really."
"That is not the level of similarity at all! It is exactly the same!" Kawaki retorted.
Looking at Kawaki's frantic appearance, Tsukuyo was helpless and chose to ignore it.
As the funeral proceeded, it was time for the family to give their speech. Zenzou, who was at the front, slowly stood up. Then, he took the microphone and faced the guests.
"My father really likes to play the game kick the can. When I was young, I often played with him..." As soon as Zenzou opened his mouth, Kawaki was no longer calm. The three words "kick the can" kept echoing in Kawaki's mind.
Looking at Kawaki, who was sweating and trembling slightly, Tsukuyo whispered with concern, "Hey, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?"
"No, nothing..."
In front of him, Zenzou held the microphone and continued to chatter, "He is really a good father. In fact, I want to say that he doesn't care much about me when he works hard all day... When I grew up, he often came to play kick the can with me."
"Ah? That's strange. In fact, it's just that my father loves to play kick the can. In fact, my father is really like an old child. He always looks happy. Although I was always a little angry with him when I was young, I was actually half envious of him..."
"In fact, when a person grows up, it is really simple beyond imagination. However, it is difficult to enjoy a child's heart in everything. In this regard, he is really a father worthy of respect." Speaking of this, Zenzou sniffed and two lines of tears fell.
"But there are still some things that make me regret..." Zenzou shouted with tears in his eyes, "That damn old man actually sold all my Jump to the antique shop! He even bought a bunch of ergonomic DVDs! This really makes me super angry..."
"I'm sorry, I was too excited... I was so angry that I couldn't help but cry..." Realizing that he was a little excited, Zenzou hurriedly bowed to the guests present to express his apology.
"Woo... I'm so touched..." Kawaki frowned. Tears and snot were flying all over his face.
"Your attitude has changed too quickly!" Tsukuyo complained.
"I just can't stand the thought that my father can replace the old Jump with an ergonomic DVD..." Kawaki sobbed as he retorted.
"You must be moved by something!" Tsukuyo shouted while rolling her eyes. However, she did not pay attention to the volume of his voice. All the guests looked over.
"Sumimasen..." Tsukuyo apologized in a low voice.
"It's okay. The one beside you looks really sad. We can understand..." the guests comforted, "But don't be too sad. Take these tissues and use them."
Looking at the tissues handed to him from all directions, Kawaki wiped his tears and showed a grateful face, "Arigatou..."
Tsukuyo was speechless to the extreme. She really wanted to stand up and refute loudly, but when she looked at Kawaki who had a smile on her face again, she swallowed her words.
Zenzou glanced at Kawaki with a face full of gratitude and then continued his speech, "After saying so much, in summary, he is a good-for-nothing old man. It is such an old man, so he might turn into a ghost and go to find everyone. When the time comes, please accompany him to play with kicking the can again..."
Hearing this, Kawaki, he... was furious. Kawaki directly stood up and rushed to Zenzou. He grabbed Zenzou's clothes, and his eyes were bloodshot. He shouted loudly, "Hey! You! What nonsense are you saying about ghosts and kicking can! Shouldn't you use a pious heart to hope for your father to go to heaven at this time? Hurry up and say it again! Change the ghost matter for me!"
"Eh? That was just a joke, a joke." Zenzou was a little confused.
"Even a joke has to be divided into what can be said and what can not be said! Do you think this kind of joke is suitable for such a serious occasion" Kawaki roared, and then heavily gasped twice, "Hurry up and apologize! Apologize to the ghost and can!"
"What the hell are you trying to do!" Tsukuyo stood up, raised her hands, and grab the back of Kawaki's head, "Have you had enough?"
"No, Tsukki!" Kawaki turned his head and retorted, "This guy is completely disrespectful to the deceased at the funeral!"
"It's disrespectful of you to make a scene like this!" Tsukuyo retorted.
Just as Kawaki was about to explain himself, he saw Zenzou's father in the photo grinning at him. His face was simply saying: I'm very interested in you.
"I'm so sorry!" Kawaki instantly knelt down in front of the portrait.
"There's no need to be so grand," Zenzou quickly lowered his body to support Kawaki, but regardless of whether Zenzou pulled or kicked, Kawaki did not move. Seeing this, Zenzou could only shout at the guests, "In short, today's funeral will end here..."
On the other side at this time, Kagura, who was kicking the can with the old man, also kicked the can away as he wished...
...
At the end of the funeral, Kawaki still maintained his kneeling posture for a long time without raising his head. However, if one looked closely, one would find that Kawaki's entire face was already black. Cold sweat had already soaked through Kawaki's clothes.
"Hey, it's almost done. This kind of old man." Zenzou advised in a low voice. Then, he revealed a grateful expression, "You have never met him before. I didn't expect you to feel so sorry for his death. I believe that father will be very happy if he knows about it."
"What do you mean?" asked Kawaki mechanically, "Are you saying that even this old man in hell is interested in me?"
"Huh?" Zenzou said with a chuckle, "That's about it."
... Kawaki lost his brilliance.
"Eh? I feel that Master smiled." Sacchan looked at Zenzou's father who was lying in the coffin and suddenly said.
"How could that be? He had this smiling face all the time..." Zenzou said casually.
... Kawaki fainted...
...
On the way back.
"Little Uncle, is the funeral over?" Kagura shouted at the dazed Kawaki and Tsukuyo.
Tsukuyo nodded.
"What happened to Kawaki-san?" Shinpachi asked, pointing at Kawaki, who had lost his brilliance, "Why does he look like he has nothing to live for?"
"This..." Tsukuyo did not know how to answer, "It is always the result of this idiot's own imagination."
"That, Kagura-chan..." Kawaki raised his head and asked intermittently, "Where is the old man who played kicked the can with you?"
"He's gone!" Kagura replied, then revealed a proud expression, "I kicked the can away! In other words, I won!"
"So it's like this... He disappeared..." As he spoke, Kawaki once again asked intermittently, "That, did he have any characteristics before he disappeared... For example, the smile on his lips became translucent and so on..."
"Eh?" Kagura rested his finger on his chin and thought for a while before replying, "I didn't notice-aru, but it seems that he disappeared after kicking the can!"
"Ah, so it's like that..." Kawaki forced a smile and then walked forward.
"Is Kawaki-san really okay?" Shinpachi looked at Kawaki's soulless back and murmured, "What exactly can make Kawaki-san become like this..."
"Little uncle, I want to eat barbecue-aru!" Kagura shouted at Kawaki, who was slowly leaving.
"Hey! Kagura-chan is right. Since that damn old woman is no longer treating isn't it still the same of Kawaki treat us?" Gintoki said excitedly. Then, he caught up with Kawaki and placed his arm on Kawaki's shoulder.
"Hey, did you hear that? Your cute niece said that she wanted to eat barbecue. As an uncle, he will definitely satisfy her niece's wish, right?"
"Ah, I'm sorry." Kawaki raised his head and forced a smile, "I really don't have much interest today. Next time... I'll definitely treat you next time..."
"Why is your face so white? Your lips too," Gintoki looked at Kawaki's face and muttered, "Did you encounter something strange? Could it be that you were entangled by ghosts or something?"
"What are you talking about?" Kawaki instantly exploded and did a shoulder throw to Gintoki, "How could there be such a thing! Do you think I am as afraid of that kind of thing as you?"
"My waist is about to break..." Gintoki slowly got up and rubbed his waist, complaining, "It's just a joke..."
"There must be a limit to how much you joke! It is necessary to distinguish between what jokes can be made and what cannot be made!" Kawaki roared with his bloodshot eyes.
"I know, I know." Gintoki hurriedly waved his hand.
"That, is he really okay? That state." Shinpachi muttered from the side.
"Probably..." Tsukuyo replied.
...
After bidding farewell to Kagura and the others, Kawaki and Tsukuyo continued to walk toward Yoshiwara.
"Little brother over there, do you want to come and play kick the can..."
Hearing this voice, Kawaki and Tsukuyo looked over and saw the old man who was stepping on the can with a smile and looked exactly like Zenzou's deceased father. Kawaki was about to collapse.
[That, if, I mean if, your father turns into a ghost and finds a person to play a game of kicking the can. What will happen if that person refuses? ]
Kawaki used the hand speed he trained from playing the FPS game to send a message to Zenzou in a short 0.1 second.
Didi.
Zenzou quickly replied, [May pester that person for the rest of his life~]
After Kawaki finished reading it, his entire body became unwell... His phone also fell to the ground.
[... I was just kidding. How could that happen? ] At this time, Zenzou sent another message, but Kawaki could no longer notice it...
"Little brother and beautiful woman over there, are you interested in playing a kick the can game with an old man like me?" Ghost father continued to shout, and then said to himself, "But you two look very familiar~ It seems like we have seen each other at some funeral~"
Kawaki, "..."
Tsukuyo, "..."
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kawaki's scream...
