Chapter 55 Do you believe in reincarnation?
The Strange Spirit Society, inside the meeting room.
Horii Suzune sat in the center, Aso Momoko sat on her left, and Hiramiya Chiya sat on her right.
"I want to join the Psychic Club, too."
"No."
Horii Suzune directly rejected Aso Momoko's application to join the company.
"why not?"
“Because the number of people is full.”
"I remember that the number of members in the Psychic Club has not yet reached the upper limit, right?"
"There can only be 12 members under me. This is my rule."
"No room for compromise?"
"No."
Momoko Aso was not angry after being rejected. She looked at Chiya Hiramiya across from her and said, "We are already in that kind of relationship. Shouldn't you make some concessions to President Horii?"
"Ms. Asou, please don't say things that could be misunderstood."
Momoko Aso pouted her lips slightly, "But you've already been to my house, entered my room, and even got into my bed..."
The air around them seemed to suddenly become colder. Horii Suzune, who was gently turning the water cup, looked at Hiramiya Chiye with inquiring eyes.
But soon, she retracted her gaze and a slight smile appeared on her face.
Based on her understanding of Pinggong Qianye, there are probably other reasons for such things.
As for what Aso Momoko said, well, little girls, no matter how smart they are, have their limits.
This kind of tea-like rhetoric, even in anime, is a dross that is gradually being eliminated by the times.
"Aso-san, Horii-san is not as naive as you think. She is very smart. Besides, the plot of a romantic comedy is not suitable for our supernatural club." Hiramiya Chiya said in a calm tone.
Aso Momoko curled her lips and glanced at Horii Suzune. Seeing that she was indeed not angry about this, she couldn't help but mutter that it was really boring.
"Ms. Aso, is there anything else?" Horii Suzune tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "We have to hold a club meeting for the Psychic Club next."
"I want to borrow someone from President Horii."
"This president respects the free choice of every member."
Horii Suzune and Aso Momoko both looked at Hiramiya Chiya at the same time.
"Let's go."
Hiramiya Chiya pulled away the stool and stood up, and Aso Momoko hurriedly followed behind him. Before leaving the house, Aso Momoko held onto the door frame with one hand and looked back at Horii Suzune.
"I really want to join the Supernatural Club now. Please, President Horii, seriously consider my application."
Horii Suzune did not answer, but just watched Aso Momoko and Hiramiya Chiya leave.
"His academic performance is good, but his mentality is still that of a child."
Horii Suzune shook her head, feeling that it was a bit boring. She had hoped for a more challenging opponent.
Even if she let Momoko Aso join the Psychic Club, based on her personality, figure, identity and other factory settings, she can only be a supporting role.
When the supernatural things that happened to her are over, she will completely become a passerby and will hardly appear again.
It's just that this is the truth that they will understand only after they discover it themselves.
The protagonist in your own life is just a supporting role in the lives of others, a supporting role with few parts and without even a role card.
Horii Suzune pulled out a romantic comedy comic book from the drawer, took a sip of tea, and slowly flipped through the pages.
……
At the school gate, Hiramiya Chiya and Aso Momoko were walking along the road one after the other.
"You don't seem to be angry at all about the little incident just now?"
"Because I don't care."
"..."
Momoko Aso felt like she was punching cotton, which was a very bad feeling.
not give a damn about.
Yes, why should others care about themselves, just as they do not care much about others.
This is how the world is, stupid as hell, she had figured it out a long time ago.
I shouldn't have thought of getting to know more about Pinggong Qianye.
However, she was serious about wanting to join the Psychic Club.
The two figures, one in front and one behind, did not have any further conversation.
Aso Momoko's parents showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Hiramiya Chiya. Aso Momoko curled her lips and went up to the room on the second floor alone.
"Hiramiya-san, thank you so much for this time!"
Momoko Aso's father bowed deeply to Chiya Hiramiya.
For the first time in three years, he felt like his precious daughter was alive again.
When she took the initiative to talk to him, he wanted to ignore his image and squat on the ground and cry loudly.
The loss of one daughter had already made him extremely sad, and if another daughter also died, he felt that he would definitely go crazy. Pinggong Chiye patiently chatted with Momoko Aso's father for a while, and then got up and went upstairs.
"The door is not closed."
"The door lock has just been replaced."
"If you break it again, I'll ask you to pay for it."
As soon as Hiramiya Chiye reached the door, Momoko Aso's voice was heard from inside the room.
When he pushed the door open, Pinggong Qianye saw Aso Xiangxiangzi floating in front of him, looking at him with curiosity and joy.
"Hiramiya Chiye-kun, you're here, come in."
As she spoke, she floated to Momoko Aso's shoulder and sat on it, her legs swinging gently.
"In fact, even without my help, as long as your obsession gradually fades away, your sister will naturally be able to enter the reincarnation cycle normally."
"That's different."
Momoko Aso shook her head, leaning her cheek against her sister's legs, and whispered, "I hope she can have a better life in the next life, instead of ending it hastily like this life, leaving only regrets. And only your profession is best at blessing the afterlife."
Next life... Pinggong Qianye is a Buddhist, but he cannot be completely sure whether the next life really exists.
Despite his own birth, it seemed to have proved that humans have an afterlife.
If you are lucky, you can even start over with the memories of your previous life.
But is this an isolated case, or will all living beings inevitably go through this process?
"Don't you believe in reincarnation?"
"Believe it." Pinggong Qianye smiled.
"I believe too."
"Then let's get started."
Pinggong Qianye didn't say anything more. If one wanted to send the soul to reincarnation, the most commonly used mantra was the "Rebirth Mantra".
"I didn't expect that when I leave this time, Hiramiya Chiye will come to see me off. Thank you so much!"
Aso Kaori floated in front of Hiramiya Chiye, gave him a gentle hug, her face slightly stunned.
In this brief moment, she seemed to have touched Pinggong Chiye's body instead of passing through it illusoryly.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at Pinggong Qianye for a while, then stretched out her right hand and carefully touched Pinggong Qianye's cheek.
It was indeed warm and solid, not just a mass of air.
People who practice Buddhism are truly amazing.
Aso Xiangxiangzi wanted to reach out her hand again, but was interrupted by Aso Momoko who couldn't stand it anymore, "Sister, I will remember the promise between you and me, and you should also remember the promise between me and you."
"Of course, when has my sister ever lied to Taozi?"
"Hook."
"Taozi can be very childish sometimes."
After the man and the soul pulled the hook, Momoko Aso hugged Kakako Aso tightly in her arms, closed her eyes, unable to bear to watch her sister disappear in the end.
"Hey, Taozi, keep working hard in the future."
Aso Kakako reached out and gently stroked Aso Momoko's cheek.
Warm and tactile!
Momoko Aso opened her eyes instantly and looked at her sister in her arms.
At the moment when Pinggong Qianye clasped her hands and chanted the "Nirvana Mantra", she could feel that the sister in her arms was no longer illusory and untouchable, but real!
"elder sister……"
Momoko Aso also reached out and touched her sister's cheek. The touch was real, no different from that of a living person.
"Taozi, I have to go now. Goodbye."
Aso Kakako's body floated up from Aso Momoko's arms, and she lowered her head and gently kissed Aso Momoko on her forehead.
The figure gradually turned into golden light and dissipated.
"Sister, goodbye..."
Momoko Aso squatted down and cried softly.
She has never believed in Buddhism, but if there really is an afterlife, then it is not wrong to believe in Buddhism.
But this world is so terrible and stupid that it would not fulfill the little hope in her heart.
If I had scolded it less before, perhaps it would have been able to help me.
Oh, this world really should be destroyed.
"Amitabha."
Pinggong Chiye chanted a Buddhist name, then silently left the room, went downstairs, and left under the curious and complicated gaze of Aso Momoko's father.
When he walked out of Momoko Aso's house, he once again felt the gaze from the second-floor windowsill.
Momoko Aso sat in front of the windowsill, wiped away her tears, her eyes red, forced a smile, and waved at him.
