The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me - V4 Chapter 19

Volume 4 Chapter 19

However…

There were no trucks out in the streets. Only the deafening sound of horns echoed through the night.

“Huh?…”

The truck wasn’t here, but for some reason, the horns were so loud. It felt like every car out there on the street was pressing on their horns angrily at something.

“…There are no cars?”

When I looked around, the sight baffled me. The traffic had stopped.

“…No way…”

Yes, I did ask him to do this, but…he actually pulled it off?

I looked around the street in confusion, trying to look for the one who caused this phenomenon. Among the blinding headlights, I saw a certain someone waving his hands at me while calling out to me.

“Yuuma! Is this really okay?!”

A good looking guy. A hateful person who forced me to be the class president. Someone who always had my back whenever I got into trouble. My best friend…

“Motoyama…did you?…”

“Why are you acting like that?! I blocked the road just as you told me to! I’m not taking any responsibility for this, okay?!”

How the hell did he pull it off? While I was staring at him, dumbfoundedly, he puffed his chest pridefully.

“Me and some of our old classmates were about to hang out nearby, that was why I invited you to join us. Anyway, I got them to block the crosswalk over there.”

“W-What the hell…”

“I haven’t lost my touch, don’t you think so, Class Rep?”

He wore his usual carefree smile.

“No, wait, now’s not the time. Everyone’s getting more worried by the second, we need to do something about them. Oi, Yuuma?”

Motoyama’s voice became more distant.

‘We’re saved…’

Everything was thanks to my father, Kento and Motoyama.

‘If you’re going to face something difficult in your life, doing it with two people is always better than one.’

It was frustrating to admit this, but Arasaka-sensei’s words were right.

All the tension left my body as I collapsed on the spot.

I felt pain all over my body.

Right, they kept kicking and punching me, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call myself an injured person.

As soon as I realized it, the pain started to drain my consciousness away.

“Yuuma!”

I could hear Suzuno’s voice.

She staggered on her knees as she approached me with tears in her eyes.

“Yuuma! Thank you… Thank you…”

I moved my body and turned toward the sky, accepting her words with that gesture.

Ah, right, I was able to save her.

We both were alive…

The night sky was dark. I knew that stars wouldn’t twinkle in an urban area like this, but I could see gentle light coming from the sky. It was as if heaven was blessing us.

A gentle voice melded with the light.

‘You did a great job.’

Right, he said that to me back in the sky blue train.

‘You did what I couldn’t do.’

I wondered why his voice felt so nostalgic. I felt like I could cry at any moment.

‘I can’t watch over you anymore, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right?’

His voice sounded too gentle for a shinigami.

‘Good bye, Yuuma-kun. Know that I love you with all my heart…’
