Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Volume 10 Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Translated by Niulili

“Hey. Is this really okay ?”

Haruka asked Yakumo while listening to the sound of the closing door.

Gotou seemed to be in trouble, and she thought that it would have been difficult if he became a little brisk.

“It’s fine”

Yakumo answered with a big yawning.

“But…”

“Don’t be foolish about starting being a detective who specializes in psychics if it’s for relying on others in the end”

It was clear that Gotou started detective for psychics by relying on Yakumo from the beginning.

“But it is okay to leave it alone?”

Honestly, she could not think that Gotou could manage it alone.

“It’s alright”

“Don’t you think it’s a pity for Gotou-san ?”

“I don’t think so”

“That’s…”

“I said it earlier, but as far as I could hear, it’s likely to be a kind of prank”

Gotou said that ghost had physical influence, contrary to Yakumo’s theory.

“It might be true…”

“Also, even if I’m involved, I can’t do anything.”

“What do you mean ?”

“It’s like I said. I have lost my left eye vision. I can’t even judge if the phenomenon that’s happening is real or not.”

Yakumo smiled while putting his hand on the eye patch.

Seeing his smile of self-derision, Haruka’s chest became so heavy.

“Say. You can not see with your left eye because it affects you mentally.”

Haruka spoke carefully while choosing words.

Haruka had not talked much about the fact that the vision of the left eye of Yakumo had not recovered.

That was because Yakumo did not talk in detail, but that was also that Haruka herself avoided the topic.

Of course she was bothered and worried. But if she asked, what kind of reaction Yakumo would have ? Given that, she was scared to say anything.

In a sense, Gotou’s case could be a good trigger this time.

“Yes”

Yakumo responded lazily.

“What about the treatment?”

“I have a regular check-up, but it is just an examination and an interview.”

“That’s all ?”

“Yes, that’s all.”

“Anything else, isn’t there any treatment? If you are affected by mental things, try counseling or something.”

“It’s not necessary”

Yakumo said immediately.

“Why ?”

“Even if I don’t see it in the future, that’s fine”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious. I have difficulty in getting a sense of perspective, but there is no problem in daily life.”

She knew what he was trying to say, but the problem was not that.

Yakumo saw ghosts with his red left eye. In other words, that was something anybody else in the world had not.

It was not just a matter of not having one eye sight.

She wondered what he really thought ? She tried to ask questions, but as she thought, words did not come out.

“I think that is good”

Yakumo said like a soliloquy.

“Huh ?”

“So that’s good”

“Why ?”

“Now I don’t have to look at something I don’t like”

“That’s…”

It might be right.

Yakumo had seen so many things with his red left eye.

He had received from the front negative emotions such as suffering and hate that the ghosts had. Those emotions had become a sharp gift and had torn the heart of Yakumo into a crush.

If Yakumo didn’t see disgusting things, he couldn’t also feel theirs feelings.

But it should not had been just that.

Thanks to the fact that Yakumo saw the truth with his red left eye, there were many souls released from bitterness, stain and hate.

Haruka was also saved by Yakumo’s red left eye.

She knew the true spirit of her dying twin sister, Ayaka, and was released from trauma.

If Haruka didn’t met Yakumo, she would have always stayed in her shell, carrying on her own act while dragging her elder sister.

However, she did feel too selfish to ask Yakumo for the role of the Savior.

When saving someone, Yakumo himself was also hurt.

It was too cruel to force him because some people are saved.

“It’s rare from you to have difficult face”

Yakumo said to tease Haruka’s silent.

“It’s because I’m thinking about many things”

“You don’t have to think”

“That’s right, but…”

“This is my problem. I think it’s good, so it’s good.”

This is my problem.

That one word echoed unpleasantly in Haruka’s ear.

It seems like he told she was nothing to him.

At one time she felt like the distance to Yakumo was getting smaller, but it seemed that it came back again.

If she thought about it, Yakumo was always like that.

He never told the important things to others, he kept it to himself. Haruka knew Yakumo’s true feelings only after everything was over.

She could see it, but she didn’t could not hate it. As his name suggested, he was like a cloud.

Haruka sighed a little.
