Chapter 123 Waiting Finally Makes Sense
Chapter 123 Waiting Finally Makes Sense
"Yes... This diary is indeed written in my handwriting..."
"The amulet and the letter... should also be mine."
Teshima took the two items Ying solemnly handed over, looked down at them and muttered to himself.
After a brief silence, Teshima sighed slightly.
"I have forgotten the memory of this amulet and the letter..."
For some reason, when he said this, Teshima felt a heaviness in his chest, and an inexplicable sadness lingered in his heart.
"However, I must have waited for someone here for thirty years..."
Teshima looked up at the distant sky, and just then two birds passed by. Looking at them flying together, Teshima smiled, and in a trance, he regained some of his memories.
"During this time, I wrote down interesting things every day so that when we meet again in the future, I can tell her about these thirty years..."
Teshima's smile quickly disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion and fear.
"Why would I forget something so important? Come to think of it, after the Eye of God was taken away, I felt like I was drained of everything."
"Love, regret, everything related to her has disappeared."
Hines looked quietly at the sad man in front of him. The funny thing was that he had even forgotten the reason why he was sad.
In fact, when Teshima said, "Tell her about the past thirty years one by one," Hines was already moved.
When you first hear it, you don't know what the song is about, but after listening to it again, you are already in the song.
That’s probably what it means.
"Are you sad now?"
Ying could feel Teshima's sadness, but looking at his expression, it seemed as if he had just told a trivial story.
Hearing Ying's question, Teshima was stunned for a moment.
"Sad?"
"It seems, not that sad..."
"After all, I've forgotten who she is. I can't even remember her appearance, voice, or even our past experiences..."
"It's as if she had never appeared beside me..."
As he spoke, Teshima's voice gradually became quieter, and he slowly sat down from standing. He didn't care whether the dirt on the ground would stain his clothes, just like when the Eye of God was taken away, no one cared what he had lost.
Ying glanced at Xines. He had been unusually quiet since he received the amulet and letter.
"So you're still planning on leaving?"
Teshima's eyes moved away from the amulet in his hand and turned to look at the house behind him, his eyes seemed particularly gentle.
"No..."
"I've been waiting for most of my life, so I might as well keep waiting..."
"only..."
Teshima's voice trembled slightly.
"If I wait for her but can't even call out her name..."
"She must be very sad, right?"
The man who had guarded Konda Village for thirty years showed his vulnerability at this moment. Even though he had lost his memory, no one could take away his love for her.
Teshima raised his head slightly and rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"Excuse me, it's really strange. I don't even remember her, so why would I have such thoughts?"
"Maybe this is love. Your memories may leave with the Eye of God, but your love for her will not."
Hines, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He changed his usual smiling face and spoke in a very serious tone.
"I promise that your Eye of God will return to your hands."
Hines clenched his fist and hit his chest, as if doing so would make him more persuasive.
Teshima looked at Hines and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you very much."
......
"Old Mi is really good with a knife. I have an unopened pack of razor blades that I want to send to you to try out!"
"I cried my heart out. For thirty years, he's been waiting here, even keeping a diary and recording everything."
"This is similar to when Hinesh takes photos."
"The truth is out! No wonder Hines was so serious at the end. It turns out he's met a soulmate!"
......
Ying, who was standing by, heard Hines' promise and did not refuse. After all, she was also moved by this man named Teshima.
Thirty years of waiting, with only the love in his heart that spans thirty years, why should such a person lose his memory for the so-called eternity?
Now Ying wants to see Thor even more, not only for herself, but also for ordinary people like Teshima who have had their Eye of God taken away at will.
I want to stand before Him and ask Him, "Why? On what grounds? What right do you have to deprive others of their wishes and memories?"
Ying turned her gaze in the direction she and Xines had come from, and thought to herself, Is this the wisdom of the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family? She is worthy of this title.
Just the first commission had already brought her and Hines's aversion to the Eye Hunting Order to its peak.
Thinking of this, Ying couldn't help but sigh. The eyes of God on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue should all come from people like Mr. Teshima.
Hines and Ying said goodbye to Mr. Teshima. When they left, Mr. Teshima smiled and waved to them, but when he lowered his head and looked at the amulet and letter in his hands, the smile seemed never to appear.
"Teshima cried..."
Hines felt the water flowing across Teshima's face and spoke in a dull voice.
Ying's mood also became heavy.
"Teshima said he wasn't sad, but I want to say that losing the reason to be sad might be what made him saddest."
"If you lose the Eye of God, everything related to your wishes will be lost..."
Ying remembered what Thomas had said, and now she had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
Hines took out the Eye of God from his arms, stroked it gently, and wiped it gently with the handkerchief he carried with him.
Ying noticed that this handkerchief did not seem to be the one that Xines used after dinner, but because she was in a bad mood, she did not want to ask.
"The Eye Hunting Order, what an unpleasant decree."
Hines put the Eye of God back on his right wrist. He originally wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible, but he overturned his previous plan.
If someone tries to take my Eye of God...
Haha, I wish you a sweet dream.
Just as Hines put on the Eye of God, a small fox statue near them seemed to light up?
Ying naturally didn't notice such a subtle change, she nodded,
"So, let's just go back and agree to Thomas and Miss Kamisato's proposal."
Hines rejected Ying's proposal.
"No rush. Aren't there two more people whose God's Eyes have been taken away? Let's visit them first."
"If I remember correctly, the second person whose God's Eye was taken away was a warrior of the Tenryo Bugyo rank?"
Ying took out the map from her backpack, opened it, and pointed to the next destination.
"According to Ms. Kamisato's hint, the location is probably here."
