That personiwasnt soone whoicould see thoseithings, right? He mightinot have been normalibut he didnt haveithat kind of ability like .
Um. Not shared on aggregator sites
Yes. Not shared on lightnovelreader.
I haveianother question. Um, aboutiAoyama, that person, hes a veteran of the night shift group, isnt he? For soone whos so spooked and freaked out, hes ratherifull of life
Thatiperson is an irregular. fewgw
Irregular? fweg
Yes, Aoyama is completely ordinary, unlike us, and he lacks the ability to sense supernatural phenona, yet he has never been hard by them or in any danger.
Why fewg
I suppose its because Aoyama has a much stronger will than most people.
Strong will!? Thatiperson!?
A strong will, that Aoyama has a strong will?
Evenithough Aoyama himself admitted to being frightened of those things.
Hes likeithat on the surface. He does, though, haveia desire that he genuinely seeks to fulfill.
Thatiis? wifnmog
Aoyamaihas a reason for being there, and its to attain his own dream. Strong thoughts, wishes, desires, resolve, perseverance, and ones own ideals that nobody could ever interfere with. Those who bear these things strongly in their hearts are the ones who are less susceptible to theiunpredictable and repelinegative energies. It ansithat there is no room for intrusion. The malevolent and vengeful spirits that congregate at theiconvenience shop avoid Aoyama despite the fact that he has no power because of his strong will.
Amazing, theniAoyamaiis invincible, isnt he!?
In aisense rehgtejh
Wow. efwg
Havingia strong desire that lightly surpassed theiresentnt of the spirits in that space whatiexactly was that person? Certainly, even specters wouldnt consider approaching aiperson who was thinking only of changing his genderiin his mind On the contrary, they mightibe eaten.
When I think about it, Im in a group of extrely toughipeople.
Toughipeople? gterhjjr
I an, isnt thatitrue? Takenaka, Hirai, and even Aoyama yet Iicant really do anything, I muttered, looking at the empty plasticicup. I might resign.
At that point, I was upfront with him. After that incident, I was confronted with a dread that was unmatched by anything I had ever felt before and found myself soioverco with fear that I couldnt endure it anymore. All the bizarre phenona that had been hovering around until now, wheniI reflected on the factithat they were all manifestations of the voices of the departed, it sent shivers down myispine and induced a feelingiof nausea.
Since I hadinever believed in such things before, once the realization that they wereipresent dawned on , disorientation reigned, and I wanted to reject the moryilike a child who had trouble absorbing it. No amount of rejection could alter what had actually occurred, though. Even though specters existed, I wasntifirm enough to just accept it as an Oh, really?
The re thoughtiof what would transpire the next ti I went to that convenience store was chilling, and I even wanted to abandon my job as aiconvenience store staff right now if I had to experience sothing more realistic than a horror movie like that.
Wasnt itipathetic? Despite being boastful in theibeginning. Specters? Whoever said theyicould see specters were spouting a load of crap. Now the guyiwho made such remarksiwas extrely frightened by the existence he assud to be a fignt of his imagination.
I couldnticomplain if anyone mocked .
When Iisaid this to him in aiself-mocking tone, Takenaka saidias if admonishingi, No, thats not true. You dont have to be so hard on yourself, Hakamada.
As I ntioned initially, so people believeiin specters and spirits, but the majority do not, and unless an actual encounter takes place, convincing oneself of their existenceiis impossible.
Even when sobody claimsithe existence of a specter, youicannot see it, so disbelief is more common than believing it.
If you didiexactly what I said, I wouldinot have uttered anyisuch words and youiwould be the sa as thoseiwho have left so far, so dont worry aboutiit.
Thatiwas what Takenakaisaid.
Even so, I struggledito make a definite choice, in partibecause Iifelt selfish for quittingiso easily even though I was terrified. By quitting now, I mightibe able to forgetiabout the incident before too long. Even the trauma would still be on the shallow side.
The night shiftiemployees would likely be inconvenienced, and the manager wouldiprobably scowl at . Nonetheless, replacing new employeesiwas not unusual, and it may beian everyday occurrence for those people, so whenione of them resigned, they wouldijust say, Oh, that person didnt last long after all, and more fools like would be recruited
Furthermore, assuming that I quit here, I would be an insensitiveiperson and even if I resolutely persisted, would I ask Takenaka to save once again if I had to endureithat ordeal again?
I absolutely didnt want that. I didntiwant to be a burden no matter what.
Even if Takenaka hadia powerful bodyguard, I couldnt stomachithe thought of making money and being rescued each ti I worked a night shift.
I didnt an toipush him away.
Takenaka saidito again then, Hakamada, didiyou see any strange things after that?
Strangeithings? thrhryj
For instance aiwoman in tattered clothes peeking out of a windowpane or a man with an unnaturally broken neck who looked listless
Hearing this, I wasistartled. Takenakas expression becaistern as if to say, I knew it.
No way, the man youijust ntioned is
Perhaps Takenakaiwas being considerate as he did not give a detailed explanation.
You have alreadyibeen affected by that place. There are instances where you will spontaneously awaken your ability even if you didnt have it at first if you spend a lot of ti in a powerful spiritual magnetic field.
That fergeh
Did thatian I would be able to see specters like Takenaka or that Iiwould be able to witness various grotesque things like that?
Dont worry, rightinow you probably only see them once in a while. But if your spiritual power is fully awakened, not only will you be able to see theminormally, but if you lack the art of resistance, the spirits will take advantage of that and approach you
No way. Ugh, you must be joking
The onlyisolution is to distanceiyourself from the spiritual field imdiately. As long as you dont get close to it, the power will disappear on its own, or it mayiremain sowhat but it shouldnt get any stronger than that.

What do youiwant to do Hakamada.
A smallirasp sounded in the back of my throat. I couldnt really feel that I would be able to see such things.
But itimust be true. After all, I was actually able to see what Takenaka was talking about.
I will think about this a bit.
Takenakaifinished his coffee.
Shortly afteriannouncing this in a low voice, I parted fromiTakenaka. Perhaps sensing that my head was overloaded, Takenaka bowed quietly andidisappeared into the crowd at the station without another word.
