Hi everyone, my name is Sakamichi Ayaka, the 305th owner of this shop that can be entered by yokai's. My work as an owner is pretty simple, but somehow I hate it. since I'm the only human in charge in that shop, I've to do all the finding and digging and buying all the old and unwanted stuff of the humans so that these stuff can be sell in my shop.
-KRINGGGGG-
It's the school bells. The school for today had ended follow by that, some of my friends are getting back home, some are going to the shopping centre and some is just wondering around the busy streets in Tokyo.
My best friend, Miki and I are eating ice-cream at our favourite ice-cream shop. Somehow, my best friend ask me a question I never expected she'd ask.
"Ayaka-chan, did u believe in the legendary yokai?"
"What would make you ask that question? Miki?"
Well, I kinda in a shock that time, my face suddenly turn red.
"Actually... It's nothing..."
"Come on you can spill it out to me we are best friends aren't we?"
"Well okay... I felt that I've been follow by someone when I'm walking back home after that sun is set. And you know, I'm interested in all the yokai so I went to do some searching at the internet. I found the person that followed me looks like a yokai named Kubinashi. And I just don't know what to do..."
"Don't worry Miki, you know that yokai is just a legend it's not real okay?"
'Kubinashi... you're in trouble...'
On the way I'm walking to my shop that is located deep in the forest, there too are yokai's walking flying or even jumping to the way of my shop. As the honor owner of the shop, they greet me as well.
When I get pass trough the little corridor at my shop, I saw Kubinashi talking to a dead spirit.
"Your daughter is safe, why don't you go to the other side?" said Kubinashi.
"If I go there, I'll not be able to see her anymore..."
"Don't worry Nakamura-san I'll look after your daughter."
"Really?"
"Of course! And I'll do anything to protect her."
It's my turn now...
"What do you mean anything, Kubinashi?" I said suddenly appearing in front of them.
"Kubinashi, and Nakamura-san we need to talk, come to my place please."
At my place... Or you can say 'office'.
"Don't worry Nakamura-san, I'll let you to meet your daughter okay? But can you promise that you'll go to the other side after the meeting?" I said.
"Of course, thats my last wish after all..."
" You seems looks familiar, did I met you before?"
"My name is Sakamichi Ayaka, Miki's best friend."
"So it's you, that Miki always talking about..."
"Well it's almost time, Kubinashi, can you please take scroll 193 from the shelf over there?"
'Kubinashi, I'll settle your case later...' I whisper at his ear. And I can feel a burning sensation by his face.
I used a technique so that Nakamura-san's spirit can enter to Miki's dream so that they can meet.
Although I cannot see how they meet but I'm happy that I can help Miki and her father.
Miki's father died 5 years because of a car accident. I never thought I can meet his spirit too.
The next day, Miki looks happy. She told me some story on the next day during our walk to school.
"Do you know Ayaka-chan, I saw my dad in a dream last night. I've never seen him for 5 years, I'm extremely happy!"
"Really? Thats great!"
FLASH BACK
When Nakamura-san is back from Miki's dream, he told me something.
"Ayaka-chan, after I've go to the other side, can you look after Miki?"
"Of course, I'm her best friend."
Then, Nakamura-san's spirit slowly vanish from my eyes.
When I reach my school, I felt a breeze and there come a soft voice in my head.
"Thank you Ayaka-chan"
I know it is Miki's father.
"You're welcome, Nakamura-san." I whispered.
"Ayaka-chan, did u just say something?"Miki turned around and ask.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"Come on tell me!"
-The End-
