"Eh, are there any other possibilities, for example?" Ken's heart is still looking for the possibility of Gojo wrongly concluding the incident even though he is not sure.
Gojo hush. He lets Ken think while he continues to eat.
"Gojo's?"
"You want me to lie or what?"
Ken looks restless by restoring his hair and in the end he breaks the table. "Why does that woman always make trouble?" he was furious but then turned to the Chinese man. "What if he denies it?"
"Just ask," Gojo replied calmly as he added vegetables on top of the rice bowl. He then ate it with chopsticks.
"Crazy, why does this woman always piss me off? What was my fault with her?" The Japanese man clenched his fist on the table. "What's wrong with Yumi?"
"I didn't get his wish, maybe." The wavy-haired man again took the vegetables from a large bowl quietly.
Ken restored his hair with rage. He feels guilty for Yumi, Mira, and all his efforts go to waste as he invites his killer himself into the palace of Lord Z.
He had been uncomfortable since the beginning of bringing Lucille along, but the woman was the holder of another crystal ball, so he had no choice.
Everything has laid its way and it cannot resist destiny. At least he could still listen to Yumi's last words as she returned to the time before it happened, and that was Yumi's answer. Ken must recant, while Lucille must account for his actions.
Of course, there began to be puddles of water around the eyelids where his eyes started to turn red. "Did Mira know about this?" asked Ken in a hoarse voice.
"No."
"Don't tell him this, please." Ken just stared at his eating bowl in front. His feelings were shattered after hearing the reality that had happened.
"Yes." Yeah."
After that, the breakfast continued very slowly. Noiseless, expressionless and both were busy with their respective thoughts. Chewing rice makes it feel heavy.

"Gojo, I borrowed your sword and money, here!"
The Chinese man was surprised to see Ken who was already wearing a mountain cap (a woven bamboo hat) on his head that afternoon. "Where are you going?"
"I want to meet Mira. Tell me, where should I go?"
"Ken. Didn't I tell you, you can't go there. Entering the area only, many people lost or returned to live. Do you still want to insist there? That place is off limits to the public."
"Originally meeting Mira, why not?" Ken immediately went into Gojo's room without permission and took the sword that was still in its sheath, as well as. "Gojo, I borrowed your money." He put a gold coin on the table.
"Ken, this isn't about money, but please just wait patiently. I'll ...."
"I can't. I can't let it go the wrong way. What does he want to be? I take responsibility for the mistakes he chose. If he's like this because of Yumi's death, that means my problem, too." Ken held back the tightness in his chest, but what happened already happened. He has to fix what he can fix.
"Ken ...."
"Gojo!"
Seeing the Japanese man so insistent, Gojo is forced to give Ken his money in a pocket.
"thank you. Where is it then?"
"Virgin valley, or ghost valley. Called the valley of ghosts because ...."
The air is a little hot. Therefore he carried a caping so that his face was not exposed to direct sunlight. It also still made himself sweat from the hot air with weak wind gusts. He asked her about the virgin valley until she could finally enter it.
The area is covered with bamboo trees. There are paths that make anyone who intends to ride or just walk comfortable there. The place is not as scary as the news that blows. Even very suitable for places to walk because it is very beautiful and shady.
What may be that night looks terrible, inner Ken. He took off his caping and fanned his body while pausing for a while. He looked at the bamboo trees swinging in the wind. Suddenly he saw something flying between the bamboo trees.
Whatisit? Ken was on standby while looking for what had just passed by. Like there was a flying cloth or a creature. Again something passed behind him and he realized when he was away. Mmm, is that it? This valley is also called the ghost valley.
This time something was more and more often milling in front and behind, even beside him. In the end he could see it as the figure passed by in plain sight.
A mature old woman who was still beautiful in white clothes turned her head towards him. Just then in shock, Ken had unconsciously thrown a needle into the base of the neck making him suddenly unable to move his limbs and speak. The woman then descended right in front of Ken.
"How dare a Japanese get into our area huh!" said the woman looked at the clothes worn by Ken.
Ken certainly couldn't answer because he couldn't move and talk. Only his eyeballs move to indicate he understands. He looks surprised.
What does this woman mean to make me like this? How can I say what I mean when I can't talk? Was he afraid that I would scream for help, so he had to lock my mouth too?
The woman came to the man while circling his body. "Mmh, men like you. Young, handsome, attractive." He again stood in front and raised Ken's chin with his index finger. "Are you ready to serve us, women who thirst for the beauty of men's bodies, mmh?"
What the fuck? Crazy ... Where are you mira? Ken looks panicked.
The woman's laughter was terrible. It was as if he was the ghost of the ruler of that place. Suddenly a shadow came, making the woman turn her head.
"Sorry, Madam. Forgive my friend. Let her go with me." The man bowed in salute to the woman who was wearing beautiful hanfu with her hair curled up beautifully.
Ken rolled his eyes. A gojo?
"Mmh, so he's your friend?" The woman approached the Chinese man by folding her hands on his chest. He glanced at the Japanese man who was sculpting it.
"Well, this time I forgive, but remember! Once again he comes here, I won't forgive him. This place is closed to anyone but the person I invited to come here!" he said firmly. After that, without further ado, the woman leapt away from the place.
Gojo came to Ken. He then pulled out the needle attached to the Japanese man's neck. Instantly, Ken could speak again and began to relax his body. "Aah, Gojo. Thank you." Thank you."
"You're hard to say!" the Chinese man's nagging that turned out to be trailing Ken since earlier.
"Sorry, Gojo, but I really want to see you, Mira. There's something I'd like to say, actually, to her."
"Say you miss her." Gojo glanced at the man.
"Eh, not me ... Uh, there's a point." Ken finally admitted.
The Chinese man snorted in annoyance.
"Can you help me, Gojo? I want to meet him."
"Can."
"Why didn't you say that earlier?"
"I told you, you don't want to hear!" Gojo's voice is rising.
Ken lowered. "Sorry, but you can't be so fierce, to me." He now glanced at his best friend while scowling.
