Under the gray sky, drizzle continued.
The wooden clogs hit the ground, making crisp clicking sounds. Three figures walked across the wet bluestone path, holding their own red paper umbrellas, and headed towards the cemetery in the distance.
The appearance of these three people immediately attracted the attention of all the people who came to the cemetery to pay their respects.
They turned to look at the three figures and discussed in low voices.
In this solemn cemetery filled with people in black suits,
The three people, wearing black and red, blue and gray, and yellow and white floral yukatas, walked side by side holding red umbrellas. Behind them was the logo of the Black Sycamore Club.
——Black Sycamore Club welcomes you!
——Starting tomorrow, 95% off on all drinks!
The words written in white marker had faded, and the contact number and club address below were completely invisible. But even if they saw and found it, there would only be a desolate ruin there.
The Black Sycamore Club is destined to exist only in the past, because the man who supported this store has left forever.
The three figures passed through the public cemetery and walked along the path of drifting cherry blossoms. The cemetery was divided into two circles, the outer circle was a large public cemetery, while the inner circle was a private cemetery that was booked.
The furnishings and environment of a private cemetery are obviously much better than those outside.
The three of them stopped at the same time.
In a private cemetery in the distance, figures wearing black kimonos with cherry blossoms were surrounding the outer circle of the cemetery, with their heads lowered, as if mourning something.
These are all members of the Fengji family.
In the core area of the private cemetery, in front of the magnificent and solemn tombstone, a white-haired boy and a black-haired girl stood side by side.
The girl was two heads shorter than the boy and looked particularly petite. She was wearing a solemn black kimono and her hair was tied up with a cherry blossom hairpin. Her tender and fragile face was covered with traces of tears.
She held an opened envelope in her hand, her body shaking uncontrollably.
"Dad..." Yurina pursed her lips, her eyes red. She squatted down and gently stroked the cold tombstone, "I haven't let you and your brother live a good life yet... Why did you leave..."
Yurina squatted on the ground, crying.
She had booked this cemetery with the financial resources and status of the Kazematsu family. Few people in Japan could enjoy such treatment... But at this moment, there was only endless sadness in her heart.
She became the head of the Kazematsuri family so that she could live a life without worries about food and clothing with Yuuri Kurozhe and Yuuri Takishiro, so that her father would no longer have to work hard to make a living, and her younger brother could go to school happily like his normal peers...
She has everything now, and she can give her father and brother all the life they want.
But now, all this can only be exchanged for a tombstone and a spacious cemetery.
This is not what she wants.
"elder sister……"
Yuri Takishiro looked at Yurina who was curled up in a ball, opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I'm useless, I couldn't save my father..."
Yurina wiped away her tears and shook her head, her messy hair swaying slightly with her movement.
She stood up, looked at the boy who was much taller than her, stood on tiptoe, and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch his head, but she could only reach his chin at most.
Yuuri Takishiro was stunned and slowly squatted down.
Yurina's small hand gently stroked Yuri Taki's white hair, and she forced a smile on her tear-stained face:
"This is not Takishiro's fault. Takishiro, you have done very well... Dad must be very happy that you can stand here healthy."
"But..." Yuuri Takishiro wanted to say something.
"Dad has worked hard for us for many years. Now he is just tired and he just misses mom." Yurina turned her head and looked at the tombstone. "We can't be so selfish and keep dad with us... After all, we have grown up, haven't we?"
Yuuri Takishiro was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily.
"Takishiro."
"What's wrong, sister?"
"Dad is gone. From now on, I will take care of you in his place." Yurina looked at him with a smile through her tears. "Don't look at me, I'm so much shorter than you. I'm also very capable~"
Yuri Takishiro stared at Yurina's smile in a daze. For some reason, an inexplicable warmth surged into his heart...
Perhaps, this is what my father meant...family love.
"Yeah." Yuri Takishiro smiled slightly, "I believe in my sister."
As the two were talking, the three figures in floral yukatas had already passed through the people of the Fengji family and arrived in front of the tombstone.
"Nanaye-san, Amemiya-san, Kogane-san." Yurina was slightly startled when she saw them. She immediately wiped away all the tears on her face, stood in front of the tombstone, and bowed respectfully to the three of them. "Have you come to see father?"
Yuri Takishiro didn't know the etiquette, but he still followed Yurina and bowed.
"Yes." Amamiya Haruki put away his umbrella and nodded, "We should also see Uncle Kyosuke off."
Lin Qiye looked at Yurina worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yurina shook her head, "Nana, don't worry about me, I'm already an adult."
Lin Qiye looked at her for a long time and hummed.
Xiao Jin squatted down and gently stroked the tombstone with his hand, deep sadness emerging in his eyes.
Although he was only the sword spirit of [Mystery Eye], he had been with Yuri Heizhe for a long time, and Yuri Heizhe had never treated him as just a sword spirit. Even in the Black Wutong Club, Yuri Heizhe arranged a separate room for him to rest, paid him a salary, and cooked for him...
In Yuuri Heizhe's eyes, Xiao Jin is more like a junior.
Many times, it was not him, the sword spirit, who protected the sword master, but Yuuri Hei Zhe who protected him.
Therefore, today, he would, no matter what, act as a "human" and send Yuri Kurozhe off for the last time...
The three of them paid tribute in front of Yuuri Heizhe's grave for a long time. When they left the cemetery, it was getting dark.
Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki walked side by side on the road.
Xiao Jin has returned to [Mi Tong] and is held in Lin Qiye's hand.
Before leaving this world, Yuri Hei Tetsu personally placed the [Mysterious Eye] beside Yuri Takishiro's bed, but in the letter, Yuri Hei Tetsu specifically instructed that this sword was for Lin Qiye.
This was the agreement he had made with Lin Qiye before.
After a long time, Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki walked to the door of the club.
"I should leave." Lin Qiye said slowly.
