Chapter 119: Claustrophobia

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When Kimura Kazuki was pondering over this, her gaze landed on Furuhashi Sakurakyu, who was the mother of quadruplets.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu was also watching Kimura Kazuki. Knowing that she was a specter, she could feel that both of them were very emotional.

However, as Kimura Kazuki was looking at her, she was able to stay composed and converse with him naturally. It was clear that he was not as simple as an ordinary student. So, as she saw that he was looking at her, she smiled gracefully and knew that he must have questions in mind for her.

As expected, Kimura Kazuki asked, “Miss Furuhashi, do you know how long you have been inside this jade pendant?”

Upon hearing this, Furuhashi Sakurakyu sighed and replied, “It’s been ten years. Speaking of this jade pendant, it was my everything in my past life. I probably lost it during the car accident.” After all, she died in a car accident. When her family rushed to the scene, they would have been focused on her rather than other things. The pendant may have been picked up by a passerby.

Ten years... Kimura Kazuki thought silently. It seemed that Furuhashi Sakurakyu had passed away when Harunaka-san was somewhere around six to seven years old. He spoke aloud, “Have you been locked inside the jade pendant all this while?” If it was a yes, then these ten years in the pendant was all darkness and no light, not to mention that it was a torment to the mind.

“No... I just woke up, actually.” Furuhashi Sakurakyu forced a smile. She did not think that she had died in the car accident, Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt that she had just woken up in a strange place in front of Nakagawa Akira, whom she had never met before.

She had spoken with the stranger in front of her, but by the time she finished speaking, they disappeared. As she made her way downstairs, she noticed the year 2019 written on a calendar. She was taken aback as she realized that ten years had gone by.

This was why Kimura Kazuki found Furuhashi Sakurakyu sitting on the sofa in a daze when he came into the living room. At that time, Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s thoughts were in a mess, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Just woke up?

As he heard this, Kimura Kazuki hid his surprise.

While the jade pendant was broken, Furuhashi Sakurakyu could unconsciously affect the old woman’s dreams even though she was not awake. It seemed like her ability was truly amazing.

Kimura Kazuki looked toward Nakagawa Aokiji and the old woman, then said bluntly, “Madam, Nakagawa-Kun... since we have found the reason for the dream, then I shall take Miss Furuhashi away with me.”

“Will my mother continue to have that dream?” Nakagawa Aokiji asked in a worried tone.

“Don’t worry,” Kimura Kazuki assured as he smiled. “Since Miss Furuhashi has woken up, your mother will not continue to have the dream. It happened because she was unconsciously affected by Miss Furuhashi’s ability previously. As long as you wear the jade pendant, your body will continue to be rejuvenated by it, and as for you, madam, your body will be as healthy as before.” He only found out a moment ago that the jade pendant has been fixed. Although there was now a nearly unnoticeable flaw on the pendant, it did not affect the Spirit Tranquilizing Formation, so it would bestow the same blessing as it did before.

Nakagawa Akira suddenly said, “You can take the jade pendant with you.”

Huh?

Kimura Kazuki was shocked, but he quickly came back to his senses and consoled, “Don’t worry, this jade pendant will not cause you any problems now, so you can wear it as usual.”

This jade pendant was actually quite useful to him; if he wore it for the long-term, it would help cultivate the mind.

One could not see any efficacy if it was worn only sporadically, but there were many benefits that it would bring in the long run. The most significant advantage was that his mind would gradually be enhanced. When dealing with enemies in the future, provided that the red reiki was sufficient, he could keep the fight going longer.

This was a prized possession of the old woman. It had been worn for eight years, which was why he did not want to take it from her. Furthermore, he had come across a grand prize the moment he came in contact with the jade, which was the collection of the Spirit Tranquilizing Formations.

In his previous life, he was a Ph.D. holder of the Division of Enchanted Talismans, and he often went to the library for further reading and research. People would always politely decline to read the book ‘The Complete Collection of Tactical Formation,’ without his help in explaining, it would have been too complicated to understand.

The crafting of the tactical formation required a keen intellect, a steady pair of hands, and an unwavering heart. Meanwhile, there must be no mistakes during the process of laying out the formation. With just a glance at the complexity of the formation, his head started throbbing as he tossed it aside carelessly.

The formation that he was most familiar with was the Spiritual Gathering Formation, which was the only formation that he knew how to execute.

The Spiritual Gathering Formation was a formation that most people knew how to execute. The American group would bring together the gurus majored in formations annually to streamline the Spiritual Gathering Formation, so the portraying of the formation was quite simple compared to other formations.

However, he did not practice the Spiritual Gathering Formation at home because he had no spiritual rock with him.

Instead of using a spiritual rock, he could use a jade rock as well... but sadly, he did not have the money to buy one. If he was unable to execute one in such a short time, it was necessary to jot down the Spirit Tranquilizing Formation, so to slowly work it out when he was back home.

Nakagawa Akira gently shook her head, “It is not because of that... isn’t this jade pendant the treasured heirloom of this specter lady? I am just returning it to the owner.”

“Not to worry, dear grandmother. I have already passed. Since this piece of jade is now in your hands and you have bought it with your own money, it naturally belongs to you,” Furuhashi Sakurakyu refused to accept it as well. She sighed a moment ago, but it did not mean that she had other intentions for the pendant. Besides, what would she want the jade pendant for?

“Didn’t Kazuki make it clear? This jade pendant has the effect of rejuvenating the soul. Also, you are a specter... don’t tell me that this thing does not benefit you?” The old woman used to be quite afraid of Furuhashi Sakurakyu, but after seeing Kimura Kazuki chatting freely with her, her fears had been alleviated. Aside from being a specter, there was no significant difference between Sakurakyu and a normal human being.

She could feel that she had a close connection with the spirit, mainly when she was emotionally calm. According to Kimura Kazuki, this was why she was always wearing the jade pendant.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu shook her head quickly, ” I don’t need it. Even if you give it to me, I won’t use it again, and I won’t ever go back in.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her in puzzlement, Furuhashi Sakurakyu smiled bitterly, “I have claustrophobia. Just now, back in your bedroom, I went into the pendant, and I’ve found it dark and scary, so I came back out immediately.”

Kimura Kazuki and the three were speechless.

Nakagawa’s mother bit back her laughter. Even a specter is afraid of darkness?

However, Kimura Kazuki did not laugh at her because he knew that her past life was quite difficult. In fact, some spirits would retain the trauma of their past life.

Since Furuhashi Sakurakyu has claustrophobia, then it would be inadvisable to let her stay in the white house inside the Sun and Moon Sword. If not, it would damage her soul.

At first, the laboratory staff of Spiritual Academy did not believe in heresy, but then they carried out an experiment, and the results showed that... If a spirit with claustrophobia was locked up in a small room under emotional anxiety, its soul would become extremely weak, and in the end, it would die of emotional suffering.

Kimura Kazuki knew of this, therefore when he let Furuhashi Sakurakyu attach onto the Sun and Moon Sword to protect her from the scorching sun, he did not insist that she remain the white room.
