　It is true that spirits are flying wherever they go, except in the land of the dead. They are so ubiquitous that I have somehow stopped paying attention to them.

I mean, there are so many of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, I now understand that this is not the time for me to be on a journey of self-discovery. First of all, let's set up a place where intermediate spirits can come and play, and then I will discover myself.
