This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Watanabe Maichi was dumbfounded.

Watanabe Chitose was also a little dumbfounded.

The two of them stopped their chopsticks unknowingly, and looked at Beichuan Temple, which had already added three dishes of rice.

A pot of curry, the two of them didn't eat much, basically all went into Beichuan Temple's stomach.

"...I thought Brother Beichuan was joking, but now...it seems that this pot is really not enough for us." Watanabe Maichi muttered to herself in surprise.

It's not that he is reluctant to part with this little curry, but Beichuan Temple's appetite is too terrifying.

The key point is that while eating at Beichuan Temple, there is also a sense of leisure and leisure.

This is very weird.

Beichuan Temple eats the most, but his eating style is the most refined.

This weird contrast made Chitose Watanabe lose her appetite after two mouthfuls of curry. She asked curiously, "Brother Beichuan, do you usually eat so much?"

"Almost, this kind of weight is enough, 60% full, and it won't affect my actions." Beichuan Temple replied flatly.

Hearing this sentence, Watanabe Mayichi couldn't help but joked, "Brother Beichuan must eat with the rice cooker in his arms."

But he didn't expect that Beichuan Temple nodded in sympathy: "Indeed, sometimes it's troublesome to add rice and bowls. I may consider buying another rice cooker as my rice bowl."

Well--

Watanabe Ma blinked.

Watanabe Chitose also blinked.

The two of them did not expect that Beichuan Temple actually planned to implement such a crooked idea.

"I'm joking." Kitagawa Temple glanced at Mayichi Watanabe and said expressionlessly.

joke?

The problem is this joke...

Watanabe Mayichi and Watanabe Chitose gave Beichuan Temple a face-saving smile, only to feel that their bodies became colder inexplicably.

After the meal, Beichuan Temple washed the pots and pans and returned them to Watanabe and his daughter.

After all, he also ate the other party's meal for no reason, so this little thing still needs to be done.

And just as Beichuan Temple handed the dishes to Watanabe Chitose, the little girl suddenly screamed, and she pointed to Beichuan Temple's shoulder.

"Brother Beichuan, on your shoulder..."

Beichuan Temple looked over his right shoulder.

It turned out that at some point, Poor was already lying on his shoulders, and the little puppet's head was particularly protruding.

"Is this... a puppet?" Watanabe Chitose asked curiously, looking at the little puppet on Beichuan Temple's shoulder.

Beichuan Temple nodded and said, "This is an amulet."

Using dolls as talismans...

Is this very common in Tokyo too?

Just as Chitose Watanabe was thinking, the little puppet that was originally lying on Beichuan Temple's shoulder suddenly raised its chubby little hand and waved it at her.

ah...

She let out an 'ah' and blinked her eyes, only to find that the little puppet was still lying on Beichuan Temple's shoulder in its original appearance.

For some reason, the puppet on Beichuan Temple's shoulder had a ferocious face, but it didn't scare her at all, and even gave her an indescribable intimacy in this cold night.

"Miss Chitose, you are about to go to bed, so I won't bother you." Beichuan Temple said.

"If you don't mind, Brother Beichuan can also spend the night with us. Anyway, father's tent is very big, and it is very windy here at night. If you only use a sleeping bag, it will be very cold at that time. It will be bad if you get sick." Chitose Watanabe Try to stay.

"No, it's not good to keep bothering me." Beichuan Temple politely declined.

Watanabe Chitose looked at the back of Beichuan Temple walking straight back to his own camp, moved his mouth, and finally gave up.

The cold wind whizzed past, making people's scalp feel cold.

The night...is still long.

 …

Beichuan Temple woke up with a crackling noise.

He clearly heard Watanabe Ma's hoarse call.

"Chitose! Can you hear me?"

"Chitose! Where are you?"

Watanabe Chitose is missing?

Beichuan Temple, who had been in a light sleep, opened his eyes.

The entire campground became restless.

Many tourists who learned the details from Mayichi Watanabe helped find people with flashlights.

Bei Chuanji's quick turn over caused Xi Kujo, who was lying quietly on his chest, to fall to the ground with a thud.

He picked up Nishi Kujo, put his backpack on his back, and came to Watanabe Mayichi who was in a panic.

"Mr. Watanabe."

"Brother Beichuan, you came just in time! Help me find Chitose, as soon as I woke up, I found that she was no longer by my side." Watanabe Maichi was burning with anxiety.

Watanabe Chitose is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and a girl of this age is missing in this mountain, and the chance of surviving is basically zero.

Not to mention that it is still winter, and the weather is extremely cold at night, which is simply not something a little girl can withstand.

"I understand, I will help, Mr. Watanabe, please don't worry." Beichuan Temple nodded, but at the same time he was also a little strange.

It's still midnight, where can Watanabe Chitose go alone? Where does she want to go?

After all, why did she leave camp at night?

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl should also understand the danger of getting lost in the mountains.

Hideki Hirasaka...Chitose Watanabe...

If it is like what I think.

Beichuan Temple's eyes were filled with black air.

Looking at Chitose Watanabe's tent.

Sure enough, strands of resentment emerged from the small tent.

"Sure enough." Beichuan Temple's eyes flickered.

Following the lingering resentment, he left the dense forest and walked up the river step by step.

 …

Chitose Watanabe saw...

The scene of crowds swarming and lining up towards the mountains.

A priest holding a little blue flame.

The flames shone with a breathtaking light.

Along the way, there was a strange low-pitched singing from a woman, and the Dharma chime rang out one by one.

One with the mountain...

Be one with them...

Yes...

When Chitose Watanabe came back to his senses, he had already been dragged into the crowd, walking step by step towards the deep mountain.

There is no turning back—

Watanabe Chitose walked in a daze, feeling cold all over his body, as cold as being immersed in ice water.

She was shivering from the cold, but her feet couldn't stop.

can not stop.

There is a torii gate in front of it. If you step into it, you will never be able to come out again, right? Escape into the hidden world, completely cut off from the real world...

Watanabe Chitose didn't want to do that, but her feet walked forward step by step, her body getting colder and colder.

then--

"Sister Chitose!"

Someone took his hand.

At that moment, Chitose Watanabe felt that his five senses had returned to normal, and the dream-like torii scene shattered in front of him.

When she was fully awake, her whole body trembled again.

She shuddered at the sight unfolded before her.

In front of her was a dark, bottomless mountain abyss, and she was only one step away from falling into it.
