Obaachan’s Funeral
I thought that we could be forever and ever……
I thought she could hold her great-grandchildren in her arms……
Why, why……
That day we have returned from the honeymoon.
There was a letter from Obaachan in the mailbox.
“Shin-chan, welcome back.
Your bride appearances were very beautiful.
With this, Obaachan can finally feel at peace.
Baachan you see, I’m returning to the house in the mountains.
Come to play some other time.
Delicious vegetables will be waiting for you.
Get along well with Osamu-san, okay?
More than with Baachan.”
Eh? I thought she wasn’t home, but she has moved out?!
Which reminds me, it’s somehow too tidy here……
No way, why all of sudden?
“Osamu-san, Obaachan has moved…… why……”
“Ah~ yeah.”
“Why are you not surprised?”
“I heard about it.”
Unfair, how could she tell it only Osamu-san?
“Shall we come over on the next consecutive holidays?”
“Is that alright? Then, I won’t complain if we can go~”
Tururu~ Tururu~
Ah, a phone call. It seems Osamu-san took it.
“Eh…… yes…… xx police station…… ah, yes……”
What is it? Police station?
“Shinobu…… we are going out, prepare yourself.”
“W, what? Police……”
“Obaachan has passed away.”
“What are you saying? She has moved to the house in the mountains, didn’t she?”
“Anyhow, we are going. Get prepared.”
“It must be some kind of mistake.”
“Look, I will go with you……”
Even after coming to the police station, I wasn’t able to see Obaachan.
What was shown to me, was Obaachan’s phone……
Afterward, I have no memory, and now, I’m in Takamagahara. Obaachan turned into smoke……
What I was told was that she was involved in an explosion of something, it was a situation in which her body dispersed. I still don’t understand well.
