Chapter 219 It's just normal
There seems to be too much of this in the world.
Some things are too natural and too common, and happen around people all the time. So they are easily taken for granted as insignificant, not worth caring about, and not something to be worried about.
It was as if everything was just like that, as if they had appeared without being noticed, just like that, without a trace, silently, continuing forever, from the beginning to the end, until the world or life came to an end.
But in reality, nothing in this world is truly taken for granted.
Therefore, people often only suddenly realize the most obvious truth after experiencing the contrast of loss. Nothing is taken for granted, nothing is as it should be. Those things will not remain because of paralysis, and regrets will not change because of this.
Therefore, what can be retained in the end is only the regret of hindsight and the regret for what has been lost. Only then will people truly realize how precious those so-called ordinary and dull things are.

For Rinko, the days with Kyojuro by her side are different, happier, more relaxed, and more fulfilling. Every minute and every second that was originally boring is now given unique value because of Kyojuro's existence. Everything has become worth remembering, and the speed at which time passes seems to have changed because of this.
But such time will not be remembered, and the passage of time will not be noticed. Only after everything is over will you realize that such happy days are so short. Only after everything is over will you suddenly realize it.
Ah, so much time has passed.
So when Kyojuro was away, Rinko, like every other human being who didn't know how to cherish happiness, realized belatedly how difficult those days were when Kyojuro was away.
Loneliness can be tolerated if you have never felt the joy of being accompanied.
Days like this seemed to be getting harder to endure, Rinko thought.
Originally it was just boring and not worth liking, but it was bearable. But now it is difficult to persist for even a day. Getting it and then losing it is really a terrible punishment.
Humans cannot imagine things they have not seen, and the same goes for ghosts. Therefore, before they have obtained something, they only have a tolerable desire for the unknown. But once they see it, feel it, and then experience the loss, it is a completely different experience.
This seems to be really unbearable for ghosts.

Kyojuro didn't come.
These were the words Lin Guang repeated silently in his heart for who knows how many times when he looked towards the door.
In fact, Kyojuro had already mentioned it when he left last night.
She said that she had a task to do tomorrow and might not be able to come because she was too busy. Of course, the man made the same promise as before that he would come as soon as possible if he had time.
But there is definitely no hope of arriving on time.
The same is true.
Rinkou sat quietly on the ground, in the position that he had become accustomed to even though it had only been two days, waiting for Kyojuro who was bound to be late.
He looked at the half-open door again and again.
Didn’t come. Still didn’t come.
My sight moved from the gate to the wall. The clock hanging on the wall was still ticking. It was obviously the same clock, but for some reason, the familiar ticking sound seemed particularly harsh and noisy today. Even the moving hands seemed to be slower.
But even so, the clock is still moving, the long hand moves a little bit at a time, while the short hand takes a longer time to move a little bit at a time.
It was already some time past the agreed time. The short hand passed one dot, then the second, but Kyojuro still hadn't come.
Ren is not here either.
Shinobu was also busy today. Rinkou remembered that the girl touched his head and told him to stay here well before leaving. He also remembered that she mentioned that Kyojuro might not come today, but it should be fine for him to be here.
The wood blocks piled up next to Rinko.
There are indeed some things that can be done, but I have higher expectations for Kyojuro, so I forgot that I can actually do other things.
Shinobu is really busy, but what is he busy with?
Lin Guang reached out and grabbed the piece of wood. When the knife landed on the piece of wood, it was as flexible and light as if it had its own ideas. It skillfully shaved off the extra edges and corners. With just a few strokes, the piece of wood lost its original shape.
Rinkou actually didn't have a clear idea of what Shinobu was busy with, but Kyojuro did give him a brief explanation, and he probably still remembered part of the explanation, which was about Shinobu developing a drug that could turn demons back into humans.
To be honest, Rinko has never really understood this part.
How can ghosts transform back into humans? Why do ghosts transform back into humans? Why do we need to transform ghosts back into humans?
There are many things I don’t understand, and even more things I can’t comprehend.
Kyojuro couldn't answer all the questions, but it wasn't that he couldn't answer any of them. It was just that every question Kyojuro asked in this regard was difficult for Rinkou to be satisfied with.
This is not difficult to understand.
Rinkou doesn't think there's anything wrong with being a ghost. He hasn't even given up on the idea of turning Kyojuro into a ghost. Unfortunately, the other party has shown no signs of agreeing so far.
This is actually not a problem. After following Akaza for many years, Rinkou deeply realized that persuading humans is not an easy task, so Kyojuro's refusal is not a problem.
The problem is that Kyojuro not only refuses to agree, in fact, just as Rinko insists on turning Kyojuro into a ghost, Kyojuro also firmly hopes that Rinko can agree to turn him back into a human.
So Rinko also began to reject Kyojuro repeatedly.
Such a fundamental opposition means that every time they discuss this topic, there will only be an eternal ending.
silence.
There was a deathly silence. After their eyes met, only silence lay between them, becoming eternal.
This didn't become a conflict between them, but it did mean that Lin Guang's persuasion plan remained only a concept so far.
But Kyojuro is not here now, so this is not a problem.
Ren is not here either.
Shinobu didn't allow him to go out freely, fearing that he would scare someone or do something bad. Ultimately, he was probably worried that he would get into trouble.
But in fact, there is nothing here that specifically controls him.
There were no chains around them, and there didn't seem to be anyone watching over them. Any ghost could easily have dealt with the girls from the Butterfly House.
Behind the half-open door was an empty corridor. The sun-filled corridor was not a place he could walk through at will. In fact, if it weren't for the thick curtains, this room would be full of danger for him.
The most suitable place for viewing the moon at night becomes the most dangerous place during the day.
He was not allowed to go out. This house was not his prison.
But at this moment, it seemed to have actually become a cage that could hold him.
The short needle moved again, the sound was not clear, at least not as loud as the sound of the fastest needle moving, but it still reached the ear clearly.
Lin Guang sighed and told the truth.
He felt a little bored.
"Butterfly said she was worried and asked me to come take a look, but it turns out there's nothing wrong with it."
The man's bright and brisk voice came from above his head, and the drawn-out ending seemed to reveal his reluctance.
Lin Guang realized belatedly that the somewhat different clicking sound did not come from the hanging clock, but from the open door.
A breeze blew from behind him, and the sunshine was not far away from him, but rather than fear, he seemed to be more curious.
When I looked up, the man's face came into view. He was not unfamiliar.
"Ah, it's you, the strange man with the fancy words who appeared in Yuguo."
