May 7th.

Mio Natsume discussed with a friend who was familiar with the old man before his lifetime.

I contacted the funeral company that held the funeral and set the nightly time tonight.

Apart from grandpa, Mio Natsume doesn't have many other relatives, and she doesn't have close relationships, so there are not many relatives who come to Tongya, but because the Natsume family has a shrine inherited from the ancestral temple.

People around me usually come to visit and are quite familiar with the elderly.

After hearing the news of the old man's death, there were many people who came to participate all night.

Beiyuan Nanfeng followed the people from the funeral company and received the people who came to pay their respects at the door.

period.

He also met several people he knew at the door.

Like Milou Kei, Fujiki Masato.

However, these two people looked a little strange, and seemed to be a little alienated.

Yugong is so beautiful.

A wild dog came running.

I don't know what she thought.

Fortunately, she left in a hurry. Her identity is actually equivalent to a fugitive wild dog, and she shouldn't stay for a long time.

It is also worth mentioning that Watanabe Teacher also came here.

As soon as she arrived, she looked at Beiyuan Nanfeng and sighed. Although she didn't say anything, she seemed to feel sorry for Beiyuan Nanfeng.

No wonder the original owner likes this big sister.

The whole night process is actually not long.

Because the Natsume family is a shrine.

In the Shinto, death is an unclean thing and is basically unwilling to be involved.

So at the suggestion of friends who are familiar with each other before their lifetime.

The monk's chanting process has been cancelled.

However, in terms of the general process, it is still followed by the Buddhist process.

Japan is actually quite strange.

Although Shintoism has not declined, it can even be considered as a prosperous incense, and the people often go to the shrine to worship.

But the shadow of Buddhism is also very strong.

Funerals almost all take Buddhist forms.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening.

The whole night ended.

After the people who attended the whole night left after dinner.

The Kitahara Nanfeng accompanied Natsume Mio and guarded the spirit.

Then, the next day, the farewell ceremony, and this time there were even fewer people.

After a simple farewell ceremony.

Kitahara Nanfeng and Natsume Mio escorted the old man to the crematorium.

Then thank you for the additional banquet.

Until around the evening.

It's over.

Only then did the two of them get out.

On the way back.

Kitahara Nanfeng was holding the old man's ashes, and Natsume Mio lowered her head and walked beside him.

In addition, there is also a tall old man who is similar to Grandpa Mio Natsume and has a tall figure. Mio said that it seems to be her grandfather’s best friend during his lifetime.

The old man sent the two brothers and sisters all the way to the foot of the shrine mountain before stopping.

"I won't go up next time. I will come again at that time... You two are okay, right?" the old man looked at Mio Natsume and asked softly.

"It's okay, thank you Grandpa Takasugi." Natsume Mio gently grabbed the hem of Kitahara's clothes and shook her head.

"That's good." The old man with the surname Takasugi sighed.

"I'll bother you this time." Natsume Mio bent over and looked at her brother's trousers. "Maybe I'll bother you a little later, I'm very sorry."

"It's okay. If I can help, after all, I am a knife maker and I have nothing else to help, so I can only do my part."

The old man shook his head, then looked at Beiyuan Nanfeng, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

The north wind bent slightly towards him.

Then he watched him leave.

"Let's go."

Wait until the old man leaves far away.

Kitahara Nanfeng looked back at Natsume Mio, held the urn and started walking up the mountain with her.

Before the ashes are officially placed in the tomb, they will be temporarily placed at home.

Generally speaking, it's one month.

However, considering that Mio Natsume's grandfather is a priest and believes in Shinto.

This day will be a little longer, about fifty days.

The two returned home.

After relocating the old man's ashes.

The two siblings fell silent.

It was mainly for two consecutive days.

They were all in a row, and suddenly they were idle, and they didn't know what to say.

Natsume Mio pulled the hem of Kitahara Nanfeng's clothes and sat beside him, looking forward silently.

She has been silent these two days.

Beiyuan Nanfeng glanced at her, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Are you hungry? There were so many people just now, and I was not full."

"...I don't have it either." Natsume Mio thought for a while, looked up at her righteous brother, and replied.

"That's a coincidence."

Beiyuan Nanfeng stood up and said, "Didn't I always tell you that I can cook? But I have always suffered from the opportunity to show it. Let's show it to you today."

Natsume Mio stood up as he stood up. When she heard his words, she showed a disbelief expression and smiled reluctantly: "If you don't work, don't force it."

"Not forced."

Beiyuan Nanfeng also let him pull the hem of his clothes and took her into the kitchen directly.

Then chuckle the refrigerator.

Find some pork and green peppers.

Beiyuan Nanfeng skillfully began to process the ingredients.

Beiyuan Nanfeng was a social animal in his previous life, and a social animal who lived alone. He was also a social animal who was not very lazy. Therefore, he usually cooks on his own days off and the cooking skills are quite good.

At least she feels pretty good about herself.

One-way operation.

Wait for the dishes to be served.

Mio Natsume seemed to have guessed what he was going to do.

"Is it fried with vegetables?"

"So you call this vegetable stir-fried meat? There seems to be nothing wrong, chili is also a vegetable... cough."

Not finished speaking.

Into the oil pan.

A choking feeling came.

Beiyuan Nanfeng coughed and hid back.

Then go forward again.
To be continued...
