Chapter 19: I Have No Time

How much is 20,000 yen for Shiraishi?

Really a lot.

This is already Shiraishi's remuneration commissioned by the two spirit removals in the past.

Not to mention, this is a small Jade Buddha that has been illuminated by the Dharma, and it is even more valuable.

However, such things as Buddha statues are not suitable for sale as commodities. The implication of them is far beyond the value of the material itself.

Out of kindness, Shiraishi gave it to Mayuko Takai, but it didn't hurt.

If any help can be provided to Takai Mayuko, it will be considered a virtue and beauty.

In addition to the spirit, gift Jade Buddha.

After the incident, Shiraishi rose to leave.

Principal Takai has been delivered to the school gate, only to watch Takai Marie and Shiraishi go away ...

Um, Takai Maru? ?

"Isn't Takai Mori going home? It's almost five o'clock."

Shiraishi shoves the bicycle, and euphemistically marries Takakai beside him.

"It's only four o'clock, it's still early! Shiraishi Mura, let's go shopping nearby! You should rarely come here to play in Ota, I grew up here since I was a kid, I know there are a few fun local......"

Takai Shinji followed Shiraishi and smiled.

"And it's almost time for dinner. I'll invite Shiraishi to dinner."

How could you let Baishi Mulberry go!

In the original plan, Shiraishi Mulberry had to wait until the evening if he removed the spirit.

From afternoon to evening ...

It's my dating time with Shiraishi!

Adventure in a haunted dormitory building, sweet dinner in a small shop deep in the alley, shopping in Ota ...

Then, unknowingly, the fingertips of the two hands collided and gradually the five fingers interlocked ...

Makoto Takai even thought of the child's name!

How could he leave Shiraishi?

Plans have changed.

However, the most basic date dinner cannot be ignored.

Shiraishi doesn't know, Takakai Maru is so capable.

He regained his heart.

It was expected to kill spirits tonight.

I did not expect to encounter the ghosts of the day, and completed the removal of spirits during the day.

This is also a good thing.

Baishixiu can take more time to study the scriptures in the temple instead of traveling outside.

especially......

One million yen!

Ten thousand pieces, one hundred pieces in heavy hands!

Count the remaining 370,000 yen in the small vault.

It is already possible to add another living room to the temple!

It takes time to build a house.

Even wooden huts can't be built in a day.

In the case where there are drawings in advance and the house is only a single storey, it takes half a month to construct.

Shiraishi can't wait to return to the temple and give the money to the old abbot.

Let old abbots recruit construction teams and start building houses when they go to school.

This way, half a month later.

Shiraishi has his own bedroom!

Even in the case where the separate bedroom has become a foregone conclusion.

Shiraishi began to think about the next place in the temple that could be transformed.

Tibetan scripture court?

The scriptures of Lingming Temple are stored in a small room next to the living room.

It is quite inconvenient to maintain and clean, and it is also very difficult to find the required books.

You can build a Tibetan scripture hall to store scripture books, etc., and also use it as a study!

Or road construction?

There is only one cobblestone trail leading to Lingming Temple.

This is inconspicuous in the Yoyogi forest covering 70 hectares.

Even if someone is looking for Lingming Temple ...

It is not an easy task.

Created the illusion of being hidden in the city.

Is it necessary to rebuild the road so that more pilgrims and tourists can find the temple more easily?

But the cost of road construction is very expensive.

Shiraishi was thinking about these things at this time.

Walk with Marui Takai.

The thinking of the two is completely parallel, and the distance is ten thousand miles!

At this point, Shiraishi heard Takakai's dinner and mentioned it.

Suddenly I remembered that I seemed to send a message to the old abbot, saying that there was no need to make his own dinner ...

Look at the time, it is less than five o'clock.

Now back to Shibuya Ward, I can still order food.

On the way, you can send a message to the old abbot, saying that the plan is changed.

Thinking of this, the red light turned green.

Shiraishi turned over and rode on a bicycle.

"No, Takai Sang, I have to chant rituals at night. There is no time, next time!"

After speaking, Shiraishi stepped on the pedal and rushed out.

With only Takai Maru left, pushing the bicycle, standing still.

To cry without tears.

Shiraishi, don't go!

When you were at school today, you said "there is a lot of time after school"!

Ok......

Shiraishi did not snoring.

In front of one million yen.

He always has a lot of time.

...

"I am back."

Pushing the door open, it was in front of Hiro Takai ...

A familiar, bright and warm home.

On the side of the shoe cabinet, there were neatly filled shoes, and there were already prepared slippers on the door.

From a distance, you can smell the aroma of food and the sound that has been heard for many years.

"Welcome back. Wait a minute, and dinner is ready."

Change shoes and walk into the room.

In front of the cooking table, his wife turned her back and was preparing a hot dinner.

Three sets of tableware have been put on the table, and his daughter Maru Takai is sitting on the sofa playing with mobile phone.

Gazes passed by.

Hiroichi Takai asked.

"Is Yoko still in the room?"

His wife paused, then nodded.

"That kid ... he didn't leave the room all day long. Fortunately, he hasn't committed suicide recently."

Yes.

Since that incident three years ago.

The once happy family of four lacked one member.

Takai Mayuko seems to have been rescued.

For three years, it seemed to have been living that day, living in fear and guilt.

Hiroichi Takai hated, was angry, and was disappointed.

In the end, there was only pity for her daughter.

Hiroshi Takai is pleased.

The younger daughter Takai Marui grew up after her sister suffered a hardship.

Studying hard and studying is also the top grade in Hibiya High School. In the future, there is a great chance that I will be admitted to a good university and have a bright future.

I heard Hiroichi Takai asking about Mayuko.

Takai Marie raised his head.

"Dad, I have given the little Jade Buddha gifted by Bai Shisang to my sister."

Mayuko stayed behind the door.

Do not communicate with parents or ask outside affairs.

The only thing she could do with her was her younger sister Truth Hye.

Hirohiro Takai nodded his head a little, but he didn't dare to expect too much.

Disappointed too many times.

In recent years, Hiroichi Takai has sought various artifacts in various temples and shrines.

Similarly, I have also found some psychiatrist to help Mayuko solve.

But the situation of Mayuko has not improved.

Repeated disappointment makes Takai too afraid to have too much expectation.

"Dinner first."

The wife has prepared dinner.

Takakai Marui helped her mother bring the meal to the table, and at the same time brought a separate plate of food to her sister's room ...

Suddenly, just listening to a crackling sound, the tableware fell to the ground.

"What's wrong, truth Hui?"

Hiroichi Takai puts down the chopsticks in his hand and rises to the corridor.

There were no two steps, but I was stuck in place, it was difficult to speak for a while.

"Really, Mayu ..."

I saw the corridor, because the year-round is not exposed to light, and the pale skin of the real child, I do not know when to open the door and came out.

This is the first time in three years that Mayu Takai is willing to stand in front of his parents.

She looked at Hiroichi Takai and his wife. As she grew older, she already had some gray hair and wrinkles in her eyes.

Tears burst into her eyes, and Yukiko bent down and knelt on the wooden floor, bowing deeply.

"Sorry, Dad, Mom ..."
