NAKU JOSEI'S
HOTOTOGIZU RYOKAN (Hotototogizu Accommodation)
GECK..GECK..GECK..GECK...
The sound of a knock on the door made him shiver and tremble.
Yuki tried to dare to open the door, but just as she was about to reach for the door hand, one grabbed her shoulder from behind. Reflexively, Yuki immediately turned around and floated her right hand.
BUCK ...!!!
His hand hit something.
"Aah .. what are you doing, Yuki!" yelled that figure who turned out to be Jack.
"Jack? Aah .. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. You surprised me anyway! Where have you been?" Yuki held Jack's cheek.
"I'm new to the toilet, what are you doing sneaking around here?" ask Jack.
"Come on .. It seems like I saw someone standing at the door of the house," Yuki replied as she walked open the thin curtain cloth that covered the window.
"Ehhc ... Where'd she go ?"
"What a weird thing, I was absolutely sure that I saw someone standing in front of this door" said Yuki who looked confused.
"Looks like you're exhausted. Rest tonight, because tomorrow morning we'll get out of here" Jack said, stroking Yuki's cheek.
.

That night was very cold, the heavy rain accompanied by lightning made Yuki unable to sleep. He just sat on the sofa, covered and leaning on Jack's shoulder which accompanied him until sunrise.

In the morning, they return to Aunt Amai's house to take her away with them.
"Are you sure you're going today? Sleep a few more nights here, Yuki-chan," Aunt Amai's pinta.
"No need, Bi. I still miss this place, but .. It looks like we have to get Grandma to the hospital immediately, and I also have to pay a visit to Aunt Miyako's house" Yuki explained.
"So you're going to Hannan?" ask aunt Amai.
"Yeah, I'd better tell Aunt Miyako in person" she replied briefly.
They prepare to leave after Aunt Amai gives Aunt Miyako's home address to Yuki.
Shortly after, the ambulance they had ordered finally arrived, and the nurses lifted the still-unknown Grandma into the car, then infected her. While Yuki and Jack go out in a rental car.
At 9:00 AM. They left Okaruto village.
The hand-waving and the crying from Aunt Amai made Yuki feel very sad.
He who has lost his only husband and son, must live alone in this village.
"Hopefully you're always here. Goodbye.Aunty Amai."

At 15:15 p.m. After taking about six hours of travel, they finally arrived in the city and headed straight to one of the public hospitals there.
Arriving at the hospital, the grandmother was immediately taken to the ICU room for examination.
Yuki is eager to wait until her grandmother regains consciousness, but the doctor advises her to rest and come back later.
"No need to worry, we will take good care of Nadeshiko's grandmother here, we will give word if she is awake" said the doctor.
"It looks like your grandmother will be fine here, Yuki." comfort Jack.
Yuki just nodded while holding granny's hand, then stepped out with Jack.
He and Jack decided to go find the nearest inn there, and they got a traditional inn called 'Hototogizu ryokan'.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" ask Jack.
"Of course," Yuki replied, walking in.

Just then, after the dinner was over, Yuki rested there quietly without any strange things or anything terrible anymore.
Every now and then Yuki remembered her dreams that she thought there must be something behind them. He was a little restless, but he was also happy that he was no longer involved with Naku Josei. That's what he thought. Also about the grandmother who has been treated in the hospital, makes her mind a little calmer and can fall asleep.
Yes ... she's fast asleep ...

A bright sun; a gentle breeze blowing; birds chirping over shady trees; and a vast meadow. It was seen there Yuki who was walking barefoot towards a lake.
when he got there, not far from where he stood, a little girl was sitting on the edge of the lake drawing water with her bamboo glass.
"Rin? Is that you? you're really Rin, aren't you?" asked Yuki who ran towards him and hugged the child.
"Rin, why are you here? go home, Aunt Amai misses you," pinta Yuki with her tears beginning to drip.
"I-I'm thirsty, Yuki-chan," Rin said stammeringly.
"eeh ...?"
"This water looks fresh and soothing, but I can't drink it. I want to go home ... Yuki, I want to go home" Rin said in tears.
"Look, I can't drink this water." Rin thrust his bamboo glass that the water in it had changed color to blood red.
Yuki was surprised when he saw the lake water that had been clear, had now turned into blood that was deep red.
Suddenly the sky became cloudy, the wind blew and roared. The atmosphere at that moment instantly turned extremely gripping.
"Rin, let's get out of here. Come with me." Yuki pulls Rin's hand, but Rin releases her hand.
"Why, Rin!"
"Yuki, can you see it there?" he pointed his index finger towards the lake.
the bodies of two children were seen there floating in the middle of the lake.
"Can you help them, Yuki?" Rin looked at Yuki's face with tears streaming down her cheeks. "No, can you save us?" said again.
"I don't understand, I don't understand what this is all about! Rin, why are you ...."
Rin just silently lowered her head, then she raised her hand again and pointed towards Yuki's back, as if she wanted to tell him that there was someone standing behind her.
However, just as Yuki was about to turn around ...
JDAARR. !!.. GRRRVSS....
The sound of lightning striking loudly made Yuki open her eyes and wake up from sleep.
The electricity went out after the powerful lightning strike.
"Dream again? Why do I keep dreaming of such a strange thing? What's really going on with me now?
Rin ... Rin.." her inner wonder.
For a moment Yuki was silent, then she started to shed her tears and sobbed. I don't know what made her that way, but it saddens her every time she remembers Rin.
"If only I could meet you once more .. if only." murmured Yuki inwardly.
Yuki opened her phone to check if there were any incoming emails or missed incoming calls from the hospital. But no notification of anything appeared there.
"It was only 2:00, yes," he muttered, trying to close his eyes and trying to get back to sleep.
But a moment later, suddenly a voice from outside the room was heard calling out his name, making him re-open his eyes.
YUKI-CHAN'S CHAT.. YUKI-CHAN'S CHAT...
It sounded like the voice of a little girl calling out her name.
"This voice ... Rin ?"
Yuki got up from her bed, then walked up to the door and stuck her ear against the wall of the door.
YUKI-CHAN'S CHAT.. YUKI-CHAN ...
The voice sounded away and continued away from his hearing. It made him curious and shifted the door of the room.
He stepped out and looked for the source of the sound.
"It's dark ..."
Light flashes of lightning that enter through the windows, occasionally illuminating the dark corridor passageway.
While walking, Yuki pulled her phone out of her pocket and turned on the Flashlight.
He continued walking towards the source of the sound. But the closer he got, the sound was heard getting farther away and dimming. Arriving at a long corner corridor in front of him.
Suddenly the voice became clearer in his ears. Very plainly.
"From the front there, yeah ...."
