Yamaoo Small District, 8th Building Unit 1, Number 1306 .

Indoors .

Rei Takamori looked at the sorrowful crowd and Kucha, who was crying non-stop on the sofa . He could not help but shook his head and sighed . As a veteran policeman, he had seen too many situations like these, so he took it more calmly .

Chiba s.h.i.+ori sat beside Kucha on the sofa and comforted her softly . Little did she expect that an offline gathering will morph into a tragedy .

Kimura Kazuki stood beside the sofa as he looked at the transparent Yuriko Kawachi, who was right beside Kucha . He wanted to comfort her, he opened his mouth, but he kept quiet instead . Yuriko Kawachi knew that she was now dead and a specter . Even if she spoke, no one would be able to hear her, as she had tried just now .

Evidently, Yuriko Kawachi had accepted her own death during this short time . She was no longer as terrified and helpless as before .

Yuriko Kawachi was 'Chiyoko . ' 'Chiyoko' was just her pen name, not her real name . After observing her for a while, Kimura Kazuki knew that she was not who he was looking for .

That was because he saved Nis.h.i.+yama Chiyoko's photos on his phone . Nakagawa Aokiji had sent them to him earlier . So even without referring to her photos, he knew that she was not Nis.h.i.+yama Chiyoko from Akichi High School . They did not look alike at all .

Kimura Kazuki felt sorry for Yuriko Kawachi's death, but he was not very sad . He did not know her, so they were practically strangers . It was natural that he did not feel much .

“Miss Yuriko Kawachi died of cardiac arrest . It is commonly referred to as sudden cardiac death . Miss Yuriko experienced a lack of rest for a prolonged period . Her body was weak, and she lacked exercise, which led to this sad outcome . My condolences to everyone . ”

Rei Takamori had rushed over after receiving the police report . Upon entering, they checked the room meticulously . After eliminating possibilities of a homicide, they concluded that this was a case of sudden cardiac death as a result of overnight fatigue .

In j.a.pan, an average of one to two people die of sudden death every minute . Although it was often reported in the news, no one really paid attention to it when it did not happen to them . The sorrow of the deceased's friends and relatives when it took away a life would be too late .

“We have contacted Miss Yuriko's parents, and they are on their way . ” Rei Takamori tried to speak in a gentle tone . “I need everyone to come with us to the station for your statements . ”

Hearing this, Kucha wiped her tears on a piece of paper napkin she picked up . She stood up silently . Her actions indicated that she was willing to cooperate with the police .

Everyone left the room very quickly .

Kimura Kazuki trailed behind . He watched as Yuriko Kawachi attempted to leave with the rest, but the blazing sunlight made her yell in pain, and she retreated back indoors frightfully .

Quietly, he lifted the Sun and Moon sword and closed up on Yuriko Kawachi . Caught off guard, Yuriko Kawachi was sucked into the Sun and Moon sword without a noise .

Everyone arrived at the police station very quickly .

At the police station, Kimura Kazuki watched as Rei Takamori lifted his Sun and Moon sword on the table and attempted to withdraw the sword . He smiled and said, “Mr . Rei, this is a piece of woodwork . The sword's sheath and its body are one, so there is no way you could withdraw it . ”

“I see . ” Rei Takamori smiled . He just wanted to check if it was a sharp object . Now that he knew that it was not, he couldn't care less . He picked up his notebook and motioned for Kimura Kazuki to sit down . After understanding the situation slightly, he questioned out of curiosity, “I heard that you were the one who kicked Room 1306 open . ”

“That's right . ” Kimura Kazuki smiled again . He knew that Rei Takamori was only asking routinely, so he did not lie .

There was a look of surprise on Rei Takamori . The door was leaning slanted on the wall when they arrived, so they a.s.sumed that a thug had broke in and committed murder . They only found out that it was Kimura Kazuki who kicked it down after asking around . If not for the witnesses of 'Light Novel Room,' they would not have believed it .

However, he did not continue questioning . They had already eliminated homicide when they were in Yuriko Kawachi's house, so all the people from 'Light Novel Room' were not suspects . It would have been inappropriate for him to continue .

The members of the 'Light Novel Room' concluded their statements and gathered in front of the police station not long later . No one had the heart to continue sightseeing in Akihabara . Kucha smiled forcefully and said, “This is the end of today's offline activity . You may leave now . ”

There was no objection from the crowd, as staying back would only cause more misery . Besides, only Kucha and Chiyoko were friends in real life, the others were merely cyber acquaintances . Although it was a pity, they were not extremely sad, just a little sorrowful . After all, they were all writers . What happened to Chiyoko today could also happen to them one day .

While not much thought was given in the past, what happened today stirred something in their hearts .

After bidding farewell to the rest, Kimura Kazuki and Chiba s.h.i.+ori took the tram home together .

On the tram, Chiba s.h.i.+ori did not speak much . It was clear that Yuriko Kawachi's sudden death was a blow to her . After all, she had been acquainted with Kawachi for a long time . Even though they never met in real life, they were close friends online .

Kimura Kazuki did not speak either . After they separated at the Seigyoku District, he took the tram to Jinwen District .

Kimura Kazuki arrived home in a bit .

He released Yuriko Kawachi's spirit as soon as he reached home .

Like Akie Hanzawa, when Yuriko Kawachi emerged, she looked terrified . She had been sucked suddenly into a white room when she was in her own home, it was suffocating and scary for her . A creepy old man was standing still, unmoving in the white room .

When she was in the white room, she stayed crouched in a corner and stared at the old man without blinking . She was afraid that he would morph into a scary monster and eat her up . Little did she expect that she would pop up in a narrow room instead of 10 minutes .

“h.e.l.lo, Miss Kawachi . ” Kimura Kazaki's att.i.tude toward friendly ghosts was an extreme opposite of his usual one . His expression was warm and pleasant .

“You… Aren't you the person who was at my home?” Listening to his voice, Yuriko Kawachi jumped . She stared at Kimura Kazaki in shock and stuttered, “What… What do you want!?”

As a light novelist, one must have an abundance of imagination . She thought that the old man in the white room was her abductor, but she realized now that it must have been Kimura Kazaki . The thought that he had used mysterious ways to bring her here involuntarily made Yuriko Kawachi feel fearful . He might be a member of some evil organization .

Kimura Kazaki was not clear about what Yuriko Kawachi was thinking about . In a calm tone, he comforted Yuriko Kawachi and explained the situation to her like how he did to Akie Hanzawa the last time .

“So… Miss Yuriko, what are you obsessed with?”

Compared to Akie Hanzawa, Yuriko Kawachi's acceptance came much faster . Also, like Akie Hanzawa, she chose to believe Kimura Kazaki's explanation as this would help her achieve her dying wishes . Was there an evil organization that made wishes come true?

Kimura Kazaki saw that Yuriko Kawachi was bemused . He continued to explain patiently, “Miss Yuriko, you've become a specter because you have a deep obsessiveness . You should know what your obsessiveness is . ”

Hearing this, Yuriko Kawachi put some thought into it . Deep inside, she knew what her wish was . She felt incredulous, “Why is this, my wish?” She looked at Kimura Kazaki anxiously, “Can I change my wish?”

“Sorry…” Kimura Kazaki shook his head .

Yuriko Kawachi was disappointed, but she still revealed her deepest wish .

“I wish that my novel can be published…”

Hearing this, Kimura Kazaki heaved a sigh of relief . That would be simple . Self-publication would do too .

“I also wish that my novel would gain the favor of ma.s.sive readers and that it could be adapted into manga and animation form…”
