Second Life: My Past Is My Future That'S Why I Become A Ninja
Chapter 46's

A week passed, Hikari had regained consciousness and was able to return to the house I bought in kyoto. The house is not too big like in Tokyo, I live with Hikari and Touka, Touka school has also been moved, now she goes to school in kyoto with Kenzo's sister and at the same school. Keiko and Ryota live in the house next door to me, I often set up a strategy with Ryota and Kenzo who occasionally come with Megumi. During this week I got a report from Manabu and Shindo that many people are disrupting our business, but not to destroy it, only interference does not mean that it can be overcome easily, he said, my online promotions are still running and the disruption is not affected at all. Today I was planning to tour the city with Hikari, Hikari's body was already healthy, only she was still shaken as a result of losing her uterus, that's why I took him on the road to a place he likes in kyoto.

“Where are you going Hichan ?” Ask me.

“Um..there are places I want to visit while on kyoto.”

I drove my bike to where Hikari showed me. Turns out we got to a housing estate, we arrived at an abandoned land in that housing.

“When I was Misaki in the past life, this is where I live with my mom....” Said Hikari with a sad face.

I embrace her and embrace her without saying anything, we just look at the empty land that is already green because it is growing grass and there is writing already sold. But on the other end of the estate was a torii that seemed to be old. I asked about the torii to Hikari. According to him, the temple is a religious temple that he and his mother always visited while still alive as Misaki. Finally Hikari took me to the temple on foot because it was not too far away even though he had to cross the highway. The road leading to the temple was uphill because it was on a hill, I saw Hikari climb up the stairs which were quite high step by step. When we got to the middle, we were both greeted by a statue of a three-tailed fox.

“Any...” Hikari muttered when he saw the statue.

“Any ?” Ask me a curious.

“Time in the past life, his sense there is no this statue...if you see this statue is old enough.” Answer Hikari.

“Oh yes, it may not be visible because the statue is behind the trees.” My word.

“Not possible, such a big statue there is no way I didn't see her.” Reply Hikari.

“Let's go up, maybe above we find his answer.” Take me.

“Iya Ma kun Reply Hikari.

I went back to Hikari and we took a slow step by step, when we got to the top, there was a torii again, it turned out that the temple above was quite spacious and the field was large. I was a little confused, because the temple should be as good as this in a tourist attraction, but when I saw Hikari's face, he looked confused and astonished to see the temple.

“Any...this is strange Ma kun, the temple should not be this big...and not this good, the temple should be old temple.” Hikari.

I can't say what, because at first I had never been to that temple in her previous life, but I believe in Hikari, there's no way she's lying and mislooking. Arriving when we were both pensive in front of torii while looking at the temple, a miko girl approached us with a broom, it seems like she was sweeping the temple yard from the fallen leaves.

“Masa kun ?” Ask the girl.

“Eh...who ?” I asked in shock because the girl knew me.

I watched her face closely to recall the girl's face, as the girl wore a pair of blinders like a pirate. Suddenly another miko girl ran over to us. Hikari who saw the running girl instantly recognized her,

“Shouko...chan ?” Ask Hikari.

“Hikari chan...what's up...” Shouko's reply immediately hugged Hikari.

Apparently from far away he had already seen Hikari coming, so he ran over to us. If the one who hugs Hikari is Shouko means the one who is holding the broom,

“Inchou ? eh wrong Kaede san?” Ask me.

“Hehehe still call me inchou, I'm not inchou anymore.” Answer Kaede.

“Ah sorry habit...” I said with a smile.

Kaede and Shouko take us behind the temple to their house in the back.  Inside we are tea and snacks, and then they sit in front of us. Kaede looked at me and asked me, why not be with Ayame. I turned to Hikari and Hikari told her everything that happened to Kaede and Shouko. I also told and asked the two about the statue I saw in Chiba when I attacked there, as well as about the Amagaoka clan. Kaede and Shouko seem to be thinking,

“Rashaka Amagaoka, an evil god created from the realm of kegare (dirt). I deserve to feel there's another flow of energy in tokyo.” Kaede.

“Not only tokyo kan nee san, in osaka, fukuoka and where is the same.” Shouko.

“True, she and Shizuka chan are twins separated from birth.” Reply me.

“Alright, let's come with us to the back..” Kaede said as she stood up and opened her blindfold.

I was shocked to find that one eye was like a fox's, and so was Shouko who opened her left eye patch. His left eye was also like a fox's. I turned to Hikari and it turned out that Hikari also saw me. Me and Hikari stood up and followed them, to be honest, all this was beyond my knowledge and Hikari even though in our past lives we were both 40-year-old ossans and obasan. I he took her into a room behind the house where there was only a red candle in the middle of the room. I was asked to sit in front of the candle alone. I sat in front of the candle and Kaede sat in front of my right, while Shouko sat in front of my left. Hikari sat in the back near the entrance. What is this ? I thought to myself in my heart, because right now my heart is messed up and I'm a little scared. Kaede and Shouko asked me to close my eyes and I followed. I began to hear the two reciting mantras and praying, suddenly I felt a gust of wind coming down on me, I also heard the sound of a crowd in front of me. Out of curiosity, I opened my eyes and,

“Where is this ?”

I found myself standing in front of a model city of antiquity, my hair sitting on my back, because in front of me there were some creatures that did not make sense to me at all, I saw in front of me a paper umbrella that had eyes and a leg handle talking to a woman who was combing her hair with her long neck, both looking cheerful. “Boom.” A large foot walked past me and I looked up, it turned out that the giant who had on his head a small horn and a blue body walked past me casually.  I also saw some creatures that I had met in the river on the mountain with Hikari, namely kappa.

“What is this..I where is ? Hichan ? Kaede san ? Shouko san?” Ask me while looking around.

“Do not be afraid...”.

I heard a voice behind me, I turned around and I saw an old clad priest standing behind me. His face looked wise and he smiled at me. But there's a difference, his nose is a little long compared to normal people and he has wings behind his back.

“Who...you jisan ?” Ask me stammer.

“I am your ancestor, son of Yashiro.” Her words.

“Hah...Yashiro's ? jisan knows my family ?” Ask me confused.

The jisan immediately told me the genealogy of my original family in past and present lives with a story I never knew at all. So Yashiro used to be a large clan of omnyoji that had been lost to the ages, according to legend, the family's roots were the descendants of the tengu who were tasked with controlling the balance of the two realms. I didn't believe him at all, I thought it was impossible because all I knew, my papa was just an ordinary salaryman. But when he said that he knew I was repeating my life, he didn't want me to believe it, because I was repeating my life.

“What makes me repeat my life like this ?” Ask me.

“I only grant the prayer of a little boy who desperately wants to be with his friend and love him wholeheartedly. She came here with her mama and prayed, I granted her because of the name of the friend she mentioned it.” Said jisan.

“What the child....Michan ?” Ask me.

Jisan did not reply, he just smiled and took me to walk towards his house which looked like an old hut even though it was still livable. Inside he served me a glass of fragrant green tea and sat in front of me. Then he told me about what happened, according to him there is a flow of dirty energy that disrupts the balance of the two realms, the nature of life and yokai nature throughout Japan and centered in Tokyo. He asked me to handle it and gave me a pendant with an amulet-like inscription to put on my neck with a beautiful carving. He asked me to wear it and with the amulet I and my surroundings would be protected from what was to come. But when I asked him what was coming, he just shook his head and did not answer. Then he asked me to drink his green tea and suddenly my head felt very dizzy, my consciousness began to disappear, my last look only saw the grandfather smiling before me.

***

When I opened my eyes again, the first face I saw was Hikari's face holding my head on her lap. I looked around and the whole room turned into an old house. I woke up my body and sat down.

“Mana Kaede san and Shouko san?” Ask me.

“They are outside...” Answer Hikari.

I stood up and stepped out with Hikari, but I did not find who, I came out of the old house whose appearance was different from before and saw the temple complex. It turned out that what Hikari said was true, the temple was an old temple and was not at all good, no one inhabited it, out of curiosity I asked Hikari once again.

“U...Hichan, where are they ?” Ask me.

Hikari did not reply, she only pointed to the two fox statues that were on the right and left of the torri where the two of us entered.

“What really happened ?” Ask me.

“Um..As I waited in the room earlier, you suddenly passed out Ma kun, but when I came forward to help you, Kaede san and Shouko chan prevented me and shook their heads, suddenly the bodies of the two became light and came out of the room, I followed her out of curiosity and saw everything had changed from before her, Kaede san and Shouko chan then became both statues and I went back inside.”

“And the temple that you used to come to when you were Michan is this temple ?” Ask me.

Hikari nodded, she often visited this temple with her mama and sometimes herself. Unmistakably, the girl who was said to be the jisan was Misaki and she granted Misaki's prayer for hearing Yashiro's name. I turned around and looked down before the temple, then I faced the two fox statues that were on the right and left of the torii and then lowered my head in thanks to Kaede and Shouko, Hikari who does not understand follows me down, then we go back down and right as Hikari said, the fox statue that is in the middle of the road down does not exist. After disembarking, Hikari and I walked back to my bike in the parking lot, in front of the vacant land that in the past life was Misaki's house. I held my neck and I realized I was wearing the pendant that the jisan gave me, meaning what I was going through was not a dream. While walking, I told Hikari everything that believed in disbelief to respond even though I showed her the pendant I was wearing. Naturally, I did not believe at all at first, but thanks to Misaki's prayer as a child in the past life, I can repeat my life and I am very grateful, he said, I grabbed Hikari who was walking next to me and thanked her, even though she was confused as to what I was grateful for, for I cannot tell you about Hikari's prayer in his previous life when he was Misaki and lived in the land ahead of him. Arriving in front of the ground, I immediately hugged Hikari and returned home. All the way home, I thought, what will come and how to handle it, because when I asked Jisan did not say anything and just smiled to answer me.
