Chapter 116: Nothing Unusual At All

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Although the old lady was in her fifties, her mentality was as sharp as the youngsters. Her hobby was to binge-watch dramas and movies, so as long as there was a new drama, she would always be the first to watch it. If the drama was subpar, then she would drop it after a single episode, but if the drama was good, then she would keep following it.

‘It’s Your Turn Now’ was a new show released in April, which aired a new episode once a week. As such, she remembered this drama very well.

When Nakagawa Aokiji heard this, he immediately checked the first broadcast date of this drama with his mobile phone and found it to be on April 14. His eyelids jumped, and his tone was a little annoyed, “Mother... You told me it was a week ago, but it has been half a month already.”

“What is the difference between a week ago and half a month ago?”

Nakagawa Aokiji was rendered speechless by Akira’s words. This was not what his mother had told him back in the hospital. She was confident that the nightmares had started precisely a week ago.

Kimura Kazuki was not surprised. As a mother, it was understandable that Akira did not want to worry her son. White lies were often exchanged between parents and their children.

“So, that means that you have had the same nightmare for half a month now?” If one had the same dream for a week, it could still be called a coincidence, but if it had been happening for half a month, then it should not be just a coincidence anymore. Kimura Kazuki started to look cautious.

“Yes.” Akira was about to be stubborn, but when she saw her son glaring at her, she became tender-hearted and said slowly, “The dream is... rather realistic, and there are not many changes between the dreams for ten or more days. In the dream, I was sitting in a car and ran over a woman in front of me... There was also a child next to the woman. However, I can’t drive, so I have no idea what this dream has to do with me.”

Actually, if an ordinary man had been having the same dream for half a month, he should have felt scared and found it spooky. Akira did think it was peculiar, but her belief in atheism for decades was too strong to waver. Moreover, she had only dreamed for these ten or more days, but there had not been any significant changes to her life or physical body. Therefore, she did not even consider this dream a nightmare, so she was not at all concerned.

However, having the same dream all the time really would cause one to feel tired. This is also the situation understood by Nakagawa Aokiji after discovering it.

“Kimura-Kun, I am counting on you to solve this mystery.” Nakagawa Aokiji begged for Kimura Kazuki’s help after glancing at his mother.

Kimura Kazuki did not promise anything, but he nodded gently. He was cautious in nature, so he would not hastily accept anyone’s request. The reason was that if it was found to be not within his ability, in the end, it would be quite embarrassing.

From the current point of view, he did not smell anything strange in the house. According to what Ms. Nakagawa had said, the dream was not a nightmare. Instead, it was just a repeated dream, and she would definitely dream about it once a day. When the car crashed into the woman, the dream would stop.

He turned to look at the television in the living room. At that moment, the drama ‘It’s Your Turn Now’ was still playing on the TV.

Akira had been observing Kimura Kazuki. When she saw him looking at the television, she could not help but find it funny as she teased, “Is it related to the TV or this drama? I have watched ‘The Ring’ before, so maybe there really are ghosts hidden in the television.”

“Mother, stop talking!” Nakagawa Aokiji shot his mother a glare, then he looked at Kimura Kazuki apologetically, hoping that he would not be angry.

Kimura Kazuki was not angry. On the contrary, he felt that this old lady was very amiable and energetic. Despite the strange things happening to her, she could still joke around. She was really optimistic, even for an atheist. So when he heard the old lady’s words, he grinned, “Who knows, maybe there really are ghosts hidden in the television.”

In the era of the recuperation of reiki, there were many kinds of ghosts. He had even heard of tech ghosts who lived on the Internet. Some ghosts had the power to track people via stalking their online presence. These were various ghosts with extraordinary powers, whereas most of the kind spirits were as ordinary as Akie Hanzawa.

Of course, because of the ample reiki in the era of the recuperation of reiki, many people had obtained special powers when they turned into kind spirits after death. It was unlike before the recuperation of reiki when benevolent spirits were normal and ordinary. Apart from their faded bodies that could pass through walls, they did not possess any other special powers.

Nakagawa Aokiji’s eyes looked helpless. Forget about his mother, even Kimura-Kun had learned to joke at this time.

Seeing that, Kimura Kazuki stopped joking around and continued to ask, “Then, did anything happen to you when you went outside half a month ago?”

Akira shook her head. When she saw her son looking at her seriously, she added helplessly, “Really, nothing happened... As usual, I just walked around Kageyama Park for a while, then I played mahjong with Satomi and others.”

“What about Aunt Amami?” Nakagawa Aokiji suddenly interjected.

“Aunt Amami had been watching you grow up since you were young, and you are doubting her?” Akira looked angry. Amami was their housemaid, but although she was a maid, she had been working for the Nakagawa family for more than 20 years and had always been diligent and hardworking.

Nakagawa Aokiji felt guilty and muttered, “I’m just worried about you.”

As he spoke, the sound of the door opening echoed from the entrance. Amami came in, several big and small bags weighing down her arms. When she saw the three people in the living room, she could not help but smile and greeted, “Young Master Aokiji, welcome back! Just in time, I will be preparing your favorite salmon tonight.”

“Aunt Amami, let me help you carry that.” When Nakagawa Aokiji saw that, he got up to help. Amami did not refuse, she smiled and said, “Sister Akira, I’ll be in the kitchen.”

Akira smiled lightly and nodded. Amami smiled politely at Kimura Kazuki, and she nodded as if to greet him. Kimura Kazuki returned the smile.

When Nakagawa Aokiji came over and looked at him with curious eyes, Kimura Kazuki shook his head gently, indicating that there was nothing unusual about Aunt Amami.

Akira saw eye contact between the two, and she snorted, “I’m tired now, so I’m going upstairs to rest for a while.” As she spoke, she took away the snacks in front of Aokiji, showing that she was angry.

Nakagawa Aokiji did not care about that. After his mother left, he quickly asked, “How is it, Kimura-Kun? Have you discovered anything?”

“I’m sorry...” Kimura Kazuki shook his head, “To be honest, there is too little information. Let’s go out and take a look around.”

Soon, the two went out. Their destination was Kageyama Park, but after walking around, Kimura Kazuki did not find anything that did not belong. They also went to the chess room to have a look, but they found nothing.

“Or... do you want to stay the night?” Nakagawa Aokiji looked at Kimura Kazuki with hope.

“Alright.” After contemplating for a while, Kimura Kazuki nodded and agreed after he confirmed. He had nothing important to do in the meantime.

After that, Kimura Kazuki ate a hearty dinner at the Nakagawa’s house. That night, he did not go back. He and Nakagawa Aokiji had been quietly waiting for anything strange to happen in the living room on the first floor.

However, after spending the whole night, Kimura Kazuki did not find anything.

Early in the morning, Nakagawa Aokiji kept yawning. When his mother woke up, she looked at the two and could not help but laugh, saying, “I dreamed the same thing again when I slept.”

Nakagawa Aokiji and Kimura Kazuki looked at each other in blank dismay. They were speechless.
