I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga - Chapter 394



394 – [Side Story] Biography

While the adults were chatting on the first floor, I came up to my room on the second floor and asked my childhood friend Rin.

“Lin, since when did you know?”

Then Lin asked with a puzzled expression.

“What specifically does that mean?”

“It’s about that ghost named Mahes.”

Then Rin purred her lips and spoke.

“I’ve been able to see Uncle Mahes since I entered elementary school, so if you count the years, it’s probably been about 7 years.”

“So you’ve been keeping it a secret from me this whole time?”

Although I expected it to some extent, it was a bit shocking to hear it from my own mouth.

I thought there would be no secrets since we are each other’s best childhood friends, but you have been hiding this matter from me all along.

Seeing my expression hardening, Rin hurriedly added.

“Well, I wasn’t really trying to hide it! I guess I just didn’t tell Sui-chan because I thought she wouldn’t believe me if I told her about the ghost!”

I looked at Rin who was desperately trying to make excuses with bleary eyes, and then I sighed softly and said.

“I understand, so you don’t have to be so desperate. Do you think I’m the kind of guy who’ll just throw a tantrum over something like this?”

When I joked and pretended like it was nothing, Rin finally showed his approval.

“…”

As the story came to an end, an awkward atmosphere filled the room.

I hesitated before speaking first.

“Today was the first day of school, Lin, how was it?”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yes.”

When I first suggested a suitable topic for conversation, Lin hesitated before answering.

“Honestly, I still don’t really feel it. I’m already a middle school student.”

“Well, I like that too. Even though I wear a school uniform, I would say it feels similar to when I was still in elementary school.”

“Hehe, even if everyone tries to act dignified, they’re still just kids.”

Maybe it’s because of the light chat, but I feel like the tense atmosphere just a moment ago has relaxed somewhat.

“Have you made many friends? I saw you earlier and there seemed to be a good atmosphere with the girl who spoke to you first.”

“Oh, you mean Yuzu? We’re not at the point where we can call each other friends yet. We’ve just exchanged contact information.”

Rin, who shrugged her shoulders while saying that, asked me in return.

“So Sui-chan, have you made many friends?”

“You know it’s not that different from me. And unlike you, Lin, I look scary, so it’s not easy to talk to her.”

“Really? I thought I became friends with the boy in the back seat.”

“Did it look like that?”

“Yes. They talked about the game very happily.”

“Hmm.”

After listening to it, I didn’t think it was particularly wrong.

So, does that mean Shinichi is the first friend I made when I entered middle school?

I was in the middle of a conversation with Rin.

[Lin! Come down slowly!]

Since Chiaki called out to Rin in a loud voice from the first floor, we decided to get up quickly.

“I guess the adults are done talking.”

“Yes.”

So we came down to the first floor again, and Rin’s parents her, Ryuji and Chiaki, were already standing at the front door.

“Then we’ll just leave.”

“Next time you have time, come for a meal. I’ll treat you to a full course meal.”

“If Yoosung eats the food you cook, he should definitely come eat it.”

“Chiaki, goodbye.”

“Yes. See you later, Rika.”

As the two families were saying goodbye, the front door, which had been tightly shut, burst open.

“Huh? Onii-chan and Chiaki-nee?”

“Yuika?”

When Mama Yuika, who just returned from an outing, mumbles with a surprised expression, Mr. Ryuji looks back with a happy expression.

“When did you return to Japan?”

“I just arrived today. I plan to stay in Japan for a while.”

As the two people, who were brother and sister, had a happy conversation, Chiaki, who was watching from the side, sighed.

“Oh, this is going to be a long story again.”

“Do you want to go and have dinner right now?”

When Mama Ayase asked that, Mr. Chiaki smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Thank you, but I’ll decline. I have a prior agreement.”

Fortunately, the conversation between the two did not last very long.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I think he was trying to leave, but I guess I held him back too long.”

When the quick-witted Mama Yuika ended the conversation in the middle of the conversation by saying that, Mr. Ryuji put on his shoes with a disappointed look on his face, but said that they would talk later.

“Then I’ll go for real this time.”

“Yes. Bye.”

Mr. Ryuji opens the front door and leaves after being seen off by his younger sister, Mama Yuika.

After seeing Ryuji’s family off until the end, we returned to the living room.

“Oh, come to think of it, Dad.”

“Huh?”

“When will you learn how to feel the Tutra you mentioned earlier?”

From noble mtl dot come

“Oh, that’s it.”

Dad said, scratching his head as if he remembered it too late.

“Dad talked to Uncle Ryuji, and we decided to learn from tomorrow. So tomorrow, after school, instead of going anywhere, you and Rin can go to Uncle Ryuji’s house.”

“I understand.”

After finishing asking the question, I went up to the second floor and asked my dad.

“Dad, what’s on the menu for dinner tonight?”

“Curry.”

“… Are my family’s ancestors leadern?”

“You can ask that question from Ayase, who is on duty today.”

Dad also wants to stop eating curry.

***

The next day.

As soon as school ended, I headed straight to Rin’s house.

“Excuse me.”

“Come on in.”

Rin’s house, like ours, is a luxury house in Seijo.

Since both families are large, we had no choice but to choose a house rather than a typical apartment.

A typical residential area is like a checkerboard with houses close together, but the luxury houses here in Seijo are American-style houses with large yards and swimming pools, so they are relatively more spacious.

“Oh my, it’s been a while. Suisei-kun.”

“Hello, Maiya.”

When we followed Rin into the house, the first person to welcome us was Rin’s first mother, Maiya.

For reference, Lin’s family, like ours, had a very unusual family environment. To put it bluntly, there was only one father and four mothers.

Would you say that because we grew up in similar family environments, it was inevitable that we would naturally develop a sense of empathy.

“Is Ryuji at home?”

“He is in the study. But why are you suddenly looking for me?”

“Ryuji decided to teach me something today.”

“Really? It’s no big deal.”

Mr. Maiya must have thought it was no big deal, so he nodded and cleared the way for her.

“Thank you.”

I bowed my head to Maiya and headed to Ryuji’s study with Rin.

***

Knock!

[Come in.]

Sweet!

When I entered the study with Mr. Ryuji’s permission, I saw Mr. Ryuji reading a thick book in a foreign language.

“Ah, Suisei, it was you.”

“What book are you reading?”

“I was reading a little about Tutra’s training method. Maybe what I know is different from what’s in the book.”

Mr. Ryuji said that and closed the book, then looked straight at me.

“Then, since it’s a waste of time, let’s get straight to the point. Suisei-kun.”

“Yes.”

When I nodded with a nervous expression, Mr. Ryuji suddenly held out his right hand and said.

“Then I’d like to give you my hand first.”

“Hands?”

Although I was puzzled, I held out my right hand as Mr. Ryuji said.

As I held hands with Mr. Ryuji, I suddenly felt something warm flowing down my arm.

“!?”

When I started and took his hand away, Mr. Ryuji said with a grin.

“What you just felt was tutra. In Japanese, it’s called yang energy.”

“Yanggi?”

“Yes. All things contain yin and yang energy, and the warrior of the sun specializes in manipulating the positive energy, that is, the power of the sun. In my case, I learned this skill from Aisha and Mahes. “

Aisha is the name of Mr. Ryuji’s fourth wife.

I saw him often when I was young, but now he’s in Egypt for work, so it’s been a while since I’ve seen him.

“First, let’s slowly learn how to bring out the Tutra inside your body. Only after that will you learn how to control the power.”

“I understand.”

I nodded at Ryuji’s words, closed my eyes, and began to try to find within my body what I had just felt.

‘It felt warm and cozy.’

I felt like I somehow resembled my father or Mr. Ryuji.

As I slowly contemplated my body following this image, I felt the same energy I felt near my heart.

“…”

When I slowly opened my eyes, I felt a haze forming on my hands.

“This is Tutra… ?”

As I muttered that with a blank expression, Ryuji next to me nodded and said.

“Good job, Suisei. That’s Tutra.”

Still, I never thought I would succeed in feeling Tutra so quickly.

“Is it true that he is Yooseong’s son?”

Mr. Ryuji said that and looked at me as if I was great, then he patted my shoulders with both hands and said.

“From now on, I will teach you various techniques that I know. I think it would be good to exercise together when I have time.”

“… Will it be very difficult?”

“Well? I guess it depends on you.”

Mr. Ryuji is smiling brightly while giving such a comprehensive answer.

I felt like a dead person looking at a cute newbie on a hunting ground, but since he was the father of a friend I had known for a long time, I decided to give it a try.

“Then… I will ask you to take care of me in the future.”

“I will ask you to take care of me.”

Rin looks on with a happy expression from next to her as Ryuji and I shake hands.

‘… If you get to know Ryuji in advance, it will be easier when you confess to Rin later.’

After completing the calculations in my head, I forced a smile.

Two years later,

When a ghost dwells on my back, I regret this decision I made with a light heart.
