Chapter 8: Raku's Resolution
The 24 hour penalty is lifted, Raku can summon The Administrator again.
"Hei Administrator!" Raku shouted eagerly, this time he had so many questions running around in his hollow head for answers.
[YES...CAN I ASSIST YOU…BEEP…] Raku was about to cry when The Administrator showed up.
"There's a lot of things I wanted to know, but I'll start with the important ones first. Right now I am limbless because of my original body state. If I recovered all my limbs and grouped all of them together, does that make my limb appear on this ghost body too?" Raku asked an unexpected question.
[TRUE… WHEN YOUR ORIGINAL BODY PART ARE IN COMPLETE STATE… IT WILL CHANGE YOUR GHOSTLY APPEARANCE TO ALIGN THE SOUL WITH THE VESSEL… BEEP… BEEP]
"That's it! If I recover my full body part, I can possibly interact with the environment when I'm closed with the amulet barrier since it turns a soul into a physical state. Whenever Luna's gonna pull a trigger I'll just whop the guns." Sound like a good plan and advantage for Raku.
"This orange cat here can see me, even communicate with me but what makes me even lost in question is there is also a human whom she can communicate with me. But she can't see me though because she was blind."
[ANIMALS CAN SEE YOU… THEY ARE UNIQUE CREATURE SO ITS NORMAL FOR THEM TO SEE A GHOST… BEEP… BUT TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER THEY MUST HAVE CERTAIN BONDS WITH DEEP EMOTIONS IN BETWEEN… IN HUMAN WORLD IT IS CALLED LOVE… BEEP… WHEN BOTH OF THE MEDIUM SHARED THE SAME VALUE… THEY CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH SOUL… IN YOUR CASE IT MUST BE THAT BONDS… BEEP…]
"Sure it is, everybody knows that. Right, Jaspal?" Raku really loves his cat and when he is able to communicate with his cat, Raku was so happy to know that Jaspal also had the same affection towards him.
[BUT FOR THE BLIND GIRL… I CANNOT DESCRIBE OR CAME OUT A SUPPORTING THEORY FOR THE MOMENT… BUT IN CURRENT THEORY… HUMAN CAN ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH GHOST THROUGH A RITUAL… IT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY A HIGH SPIRITUAL PERSON CALLED SHAMAN… BEEP… OTHER THAN THAT WAS AN UNKNOWN ENTITY THAT IS NOT REGISTERED IN MY DATABASE… BEEP… BEEP…]
"Was that blind girl a shaman? I remembered that time when in the empty building, she didn't even flinch when I'm faking myself as a ghost. Could it be that she's really a shaman and also provides the amulet to Luna? Then I could ask for her help to disable the amulet barrier and I can get closer to Luna to investigate her biggest secret! I'm a genius, I should just tell her that I di-"
This scene transitioned into the scene where Raku went to meet the blind girl at the cigar kiosk.
"You di-? What is it, mister?" The blind girl was curious when Raku stopped talking.
"(On second thought, If she was a shaman she must bring an amulet with her everywhere but this is neutral. No pressure or some barrier around, she's not a shaman. Maybe she's another unknown entity that The Administrator mentioned.)" Raku mutters in his thoughts.
"I d-did want to smoke again b-but I have to c-control my urge. Haha, hahaha… Y-yeah that's it" Raku changed his mind and won't ask the blind girl about that.
"I see, I know it is difficult for you but I trust you mister…" The blind girl grasping the air like searching for something.
"Did she search for my hands? This is weird, I'm not even have one right now." Raku looked around, luckily Jaspal was following him.
"Pssst… Hei Jaspal came here for a second." Raku signals him to approach Raku.
"What is it Balls?" Jaspal called Raku Balls now because of the bouncing situation last time.
The moment Jaspal jumps near a box where Raku is, his tail is grabbed by the blind girl.
"…I trust you c- *gasp*" The blind girl was shocked while her hand held Jaspal's tail.
"Th-this l-long an-and hairy s-stick-like, d-does it a g-guy D-Dic-" The hold is getting firmer and tighter.
"MEOW!!!!" Jaspal shouted in pain, but what Raku heard was "WHAT THE HELL GIRL!!!!"
"Sorry! I'm so sorry! It was a cat. I thought it was something else!" The blind girl frantically apologizes to Jaspal.
"You thought what?" Raku in question while Jaspal ran away from the scene.
"N-nothing, hhahahah… Heheh.. S-so back to the conversation." The blind girl being awkward.
"Ah, I remembered. We haven't known each other's names yet, so we'll start over. I'm Raku, 32 years old."
After so long, finally they managed for an introduction.
"Mister Raku, my name is Mako, 28 years old and single!" Mako answered Raku with an energetic tone. But she didn't know the people around were watching her talking to herself.
"Oh, haha. Well, no need for mister, just Raku is enough… Listen Mako, I need your help."
"Y-yeahh, Raku?"
***
Back to one hour ago when Raku was summoning The Administrator.
"I have made up my mind, I will investigate Luna's secret and make her go to jail before I reincarnate again, with that I can leave this world peacefully knowing my family are safe."
[THERE WILL BE NO ISSUE AS MENTIONED BEFORE BEEP… YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE YOUR MOURN CEREMONY ARE DONE… BEEP…]
"Thanks Administrator, I'll summon you again if I need your assistance."
[OKAY… BEEP… BEEP…]
"I may lose my spirit before, as I thought I can't do this alone as a mere ghost but now with Jaspal around, he can be my eyes and nose while the blind girl can be my mouth." Raku was fired up, right now he'll be focusing on solving Luna's case and dragging her to justice. Knowing she's carrying a gun with her, Luna can't be taken lightly. She must be involved with something more dangerous since she's looking for him now.
"But first, I have to inform mom and Aya that I'm away from home, so they mustn't have to worry about my sudden disappearance. Hmmm, what should I say?" Raku should think of an excuse to make them believe that Raku is safe and still alive.
