“Great.”
Suenaga’s
body was trembling.
“Mr.Jougen,
I would like to ask something.”
“What’s
that?”
“I’ve
heard you can communicate with something in a spiritual world.”
“Certainly.
Almost all Biwa minstrel can see a spiritual world.”
“You can
see?”
“It’s
just metaphor. We are blind, so, actually, we can’t see.”
“So,
what do you mean?”
“Everyone
who’s not blind perceives the world from the eyes. Probably, he would judge everything
with the help of things from eyes.”
Suenaga
thought he wouldn’t be able to imagine the would ordinary people see.
“I was
given the ability to communicate with something in a spiritual world in
exchange for eyesight. As the ordinary people rely on things from eyes, I decide
everything by sensing a spiritual world.”
Suenaga felt nervous because his words were
odd. He didn’t know how to answer. After a few moments, Jougen opened his
mouth.
“Do you
have a bad conscience about your ancestors?”
Suenaga felt relieved because Jougen told what
it is hard to say.
“Yes, I
haven’t told anyone about this thing…”
“If you
would like to keep secret, please put your mind at ease. I’ll never tell to
others. This kind of situation often happens. If Biwa minstrel tell to others, we
would lose our trusts. And then we wouldn’t manage to live.”
Suenaga
started his confession…
To be
continued.
