Blood Moon

Chapter 30

-Gashadokuro Hakamori-

"Hey, have you heard the rumors?"

"What about...?"

"There is a rumor going around Aoyama Cemetery that there's a ghost that resides there"

"Holy Shit! That's sick!"

"I know! But here's the thing. They call the ghost: Gashadokuro Hakamori or in some cases "Skeleton Graveskeeper".

"Gashadokuro Hakamori haunts Aoyama Cemetery. No one knows why of it's backstory. But rumors had said, if you visit Aoyama Cemetery at night....you'll meet the ghost..."

"And what happens then...?"

"They say Gashadokuro Hakamori is a entity that roams around the cemetery for quiet some time. Not a lot of people are able to see it's appearance. But locals have claimed that usually takes the form of a graveskeeper with skeleon-like appearance while holding a shovel..."

"And then...?"

"They say that Gashadokuro Hakamori usually keeps silent when victims see them...however, the moment the spirit is within range. It's already too late...You're a goner. There's been other rumors that the ghosts visits your home sometimes watching you, waiting to take your soul..."

"Strange...who made these rumors?"

"I don't know...the person who wrote this rumor...vanished underneath mysterious circumstances..."

....

Haruki: And that's how the rumor goes if I'm not mistaken.

Me:....

Yuma:....

Seiya:....

Was it possible that the spirit that followed me home is Gashadokuro Hakamori...? Shit...Which means I will have to confront it later...

Kaede: He's got a point.

Me: Kamishiro.

Kaede: Aoyama Cemetery. Well you might as well call it a haunted cemetery if you ask me.

Seiya: H-How come?

Looks like the young master himself is once again scared.

Kaede: It opened in 1872 as a Shinto-only burial ground, but in 1874 it was opened to the public in general. It takes up about 260 000 square metres and houses over 100 000 gravesites. It's well known for being the final resting grounds of many famous people over the years.

Komito: Miss Kamishiro is right. You can find tombs for such figures as Okubo Toshimichi, a samurai of Satsuma and considered one of the founders of modern Japan; Komura Jutaro, a diplomat from the Meiji period; Nogi Maresuke, a general in the Imperial Japanese Army; several famous Kabuki actors who took the stage name of Ichikawa Danjuro over the years; and you can also find the tomb of the infamous Hachiko, the dog who waited in the same spot for his master to return day after day until he died.

Yuma: Oh yeah! I love Hachiko! The dog was a legend!

I do know somethings about Hachiko.

The poor dog spend the rest of his life waiting at the station for his master for return unaware that he died.

Komito: Also Miss Kamishiro. At you aware that Hachiko's owner, Ueno Hidesaburo is also buried in Aoyama Cemetery, so Hachiko was also buried next to him when he passed away nine years later.

Kaede: Could we be able to find it?

Haruki: Sadly IDK. Maybe. Maybe Not. But you won't just find the graves in this cemetery; it's also one of the most famous ghost spots in Japan. So what do you say Hiroshi-Dono. Was our information quite useful~?
