[Comprehensive + Onmyoji] My apprentice called me home for dinner

After a dull week, another weekend.

'That thing' is still there... just walking around the house every day, what is her purpose here?

"I asked a lot of people, but they were all wrong. They should still come to class on Sunday. I'll ask again today." Iijima's mother said with a headache. It's really strange that this kind of thing happened at home. "Could someone put it there for a prank." Grandma Iijima said with relief.

In the afternoon at the tea room, Mama Iishima asked the students, "Who went home without shoes last week? Do those red clogs belong to any of you?" "Huh? Not mine." "Nor me... Iijima's mother continued to ask, "Then, who is the other person wearing a kimono?" Miss Yasuda pointed to herself and asked doubtfully, "Last week, only Miss Hidaka and I were wearing kimonos."

Iijima's mother shook her head, "There is one more! Two are wearing western clothes, and the third are wearing kimonos."——"Will it be a bit crowded for five people to sit together?" Several people remembered what Mr. Iijima said last week, Suddenly some shudder.The light-colored curly-haired lady covered her lower lip, a little panicked, "Teacher... I thought it was weird at the time, but then I thought it was the teacher who counted herself in... There were four of us when we came, and you would be the one who added you." Five people."

Ms. Kana was sweating coldly on her forehead, "By the way, Hidaka-chan, the background color of your kimono is purple, right?" "No, mine is red." Miss Hidaka waved her hand in denial. "Miss Yasuda is aqua, right?" Kana pointed to the position on her left, "Then who is she? The person who sat next to me last week, wearing a purple cherry blossom pattern kimono..."

The air suddenly condensed, and wordless silence began to pervade. "Say, maybe it's Zashiki-douji... Ah, then, our family will be very rich in the future!" Iishima's mother clapped her hands and pretended to be happy, "That's right, teacher!" The students had an explanation that they could accept, Also gradually relieved.

Lu, who was resting on Ji Ran's lap, had a dream.It happened when he was three or four years old. At that time, his grandfather was still alive. He was dressed as a girl according to the old custom. One day, many children came to the house and everyone was playing games. [Rock paper scissors!You are a ghost, come and catch me!You are a ghost, come and catch me! ~] Lil stood by the door, quietly looking at the other children, a hand suddenly stretched out from the gap in the door, that hand wanted to pull him to a dark and invisible place, because he was too scared, He was so frightened that he cried... Later, grandpa rescued him.

Lu rubbed his eyes, Ji Ran's warm body temperature made him reluctant to get up.Why do I still dream about things from my childhood now...it's scary. "Are you awake? Do you want to drink water?" Grabbing the hand that was stroking his hair, Lu propped himself up, "I'll just go by myself." When Lu left, Ji Ran supported the wall and stood up, rubbing the stiff legs.

In the dimly lit room, Ritsu saw that fleeting shadow again.He finally remembered that similar situations had happened before. "Lü? Aren't you going to drink water?" Seeing him standing still, Ji Ran asked. "I seem to remember it....the pattern of cherry blossoms on a purple background, it was the same at that time." Ritsu recalled the arm that grabbed him when he was a child, and the sleeve of the kimono had this pattern. "Huh?" "Hide and seek...it's time to hide and seek. I'll explain later."

Lu grabbed Ji Ran's hand and sang a childhood song, "...It's your turn to be a ghost, hurry up and catch me..." The two walked slowly towards the dark corridor, Ji Ran stepped in front of Lu and reached the corner , "You are a ghost, come and catch..." Sure enough, the hand that Lu had seen when he was young grabbed Ji Ran's arm, and under the strong pull, Ji Ran lost his balance and fell over.The other hand covered his left eye, and Ji Ran felt a sharp pain there, and the burning sensation melted into his brain.The owner of the hand seemed to have got something satisfactory, and ran away briskly.

"Hmm—" Moaned, Ji Ran pressed his eye sockets and fell down, Lu hurriedly supported him with all his strength. "Qingming! What's the matter with you?!" Even more panicked than the person involved, Lu hugged Ji Ran in a daze. Seeing that he was covering his eyes tightly and didn't respond, he couldn't help feeling sad, and was so scared that tears were about to fall.

Iijima's mother rushed over when she heard the movement upstairs, "Seimei-san, what's wrong with you?" The pain came and went quickly, and Ji Ran, who regained consciousness, waved her hand comfortingly, "It's okay...it seems that a small flying insect hit you. It's in the eyes." Lü Zi didn't believe it, so he carefully checked it for him, but he couldn't see anything. "Are you really all right?" Ji Ran blinked, thinking that she probably couldn't hide it, and hesitated, "The left eye...can't see."

The whole family was shocked, and Grandma Iijima drove Ji Ran to the hospital for examination.When Ji Ran was sitting opposite the doctor, he still felt his eyes were full of stars, but Lu, who used to suffer from severe motion sickness, took good care of him.The doctor held up a flashlight to shine on the pupil of his left eye, but Ji Ran didn't feel any stimulation from the light. "Hmm... so far, there seems to be nothing unusual. Did it suddenly disappear?" Lily nodded worriedly. "Let's do a detailed inspection... It may also be psychological, such as too much pressure..."

Lu straddled Ji Ran's left arm, and suddenly lost the vision in one eye. Ji Ran had a hard time grasping the distance of objects, and couldn't distinguish the height of the stairs. It has also become a common thing, because the field of vision becomes narrower, the head has to be turned more to see the surrounding environment clearly, and the burden on the right eye is heavier, Ji Ran can't help rubbing the corner of his eye.Knowing that someone was in the way of disaster for him, Li felt uneasy, filled his chest with guilt, and took care of Ji Ran more meticulously and considerately.

It made Ji Ran even more headache during dinner.First, he didn't catch the bowl when picking up the dishes, and then he accidentally touched the teacup when picking up the dishes, and the tea dripped half the table, and he hurriedly cleaned it up, and his eyes were reddened. "Be careful..." Iishima's mother and Iishima's grandma were also worried. "Is it really invisible? How could it be like this..." Ji Ran smiled reassuringly, her icy blue eyes were full of sincerity, "It will be fine after a while. Don't be so careful." The ladies were a little relieved However, the informed law can't feel at ease.

"Otherwise, I won't go to school these days." Lu looked at his mother, asking for advice, "I really can't rest assured that Qingming is like this." Ji Ran refused, "I don't go out, so what's the danger in the house? ..." "But I can't study with peace of mind after going to school. I'm worried about you!" "Xiao Li's grades are very good now! It doesn't matter if you don't go for a few days, just let him take care of you." Grandma Iishima made the final decision , "And it's all thanks to you teaching him, it doesn't matter whether you go to school or not!"

Seeing that Lu couldn't change his decision anyway, Ji Ran had no choice but to agree. "This, well..."
