Blood Moon

Chapter 17

*Hiroshi's Pov*

We were on the rode heading to Auntie's Cafe. It was about a mile or two away from my apartment.

As I drove on my motorcycle, Kamishiro was a bit quiet than usual. She always gave me the impression she was a chatty person...well, when she talks about occult or ghosts.

But now, she was quiet as if she was in thought.

Kaede: Hiroshi-kun...

Me: Yeah...?

Kaede: Do you think...we'll get Ruri back...?

Me:....I don't know...

I wasn't going to sugarcoat my answer to her question and give her false hope.

Kaede: I see...okay...

She sounded sad but I can tell she wasn't going to gove up. Ruri was like a little sister to her as well. She was more than just some fan to her. Manaka did told me these two bonded a lot.

Her determination to make sure Ruri is safe was more comofrting to me to know that I can trust her.

Tbh, I really don't know if we'll get Ruri back. But we have to try. No one else besides her, Manaka, Himeno, and Yamada only believe me.

Uncle probably thinks I'm crazy. Auntie doesn't know what to do herself besides hope that Ruri will come home.

Those guys at the police station think I did it because I was the last person to see Ruri.

Then there's that situation with Tomoki.

Him being controlled by that Hannya bitch.

Finally, there is the Man with the red eyes and black suit.

How the heck was he able to communicate with me through my mind. Maybe I should ask Kamishiro if she knows about this...

Me: Hey...Kamishiro...

Kaede: Yes?

Me: About the Man with red eyes....

Kaede: You mean the one who talked to you somehow and saved us from the Shibuya Hirasaka Rumor?

Me: Yes...I was wondering...Could you tell how can I be able to communicate with him through my head?

Kaede: Ah...That may have something to do with Telepathy.

Me: Telepathy?

Kaede: Like Himeno-kun, whose a man of science. He has to believe something like this would be real.

Me: Is Telepathy...really real?

Kaede: In a way, yes and no. Yes, the act of transferring thoughts into someone else's head is now real. Even ghost could do it. How do you think most of them could whisper suicidal thoughts in your head. We all have our own demons to face.

Me: Okay.....

Kaede: And no. Because not everyone can do that. Maybe Himeno might know more about this since he's more of a man of science. Or so he claims...

Me: But that doesn't explain how the man with red eyes talks to me.

Kaede: Oh. That's easy. He probably has a connection with you... Spiritually...

Me: Oh...

Like she said, maybe Himeno knows more...

Me: We're here...

I parked my motorcycle at the cafe as me and Kamishiro walked inside.

There I was greeted by Auntie and Uncle.
