“Quene Quene” is one of the most famous urban legends in Japan.

I introduced “Quene Quene” in the past post.

"Quene Quene" is one of the most famous urban legends in Japan. Who...

Today, I would like to introduce another story of “Quene Quene”.

One post of 2ch BBS

This is the post in The Occult BBS of 2ch (equivalent to /x/ in Japan).

The rice field in Akita

This is the story when I went to my grandmother’s house with my family in Akita in Japan in my childhood. Arriving there, soon my elder brother and I went out to play because we could go there once a year in summer.

Unlike in the city, air was delicious in the countryside. We ran around the rice field while blowing in a refreshing wind.

Then the sun rose straight above and the wind stopped suddenly. …Soon, the warm wind which I felt uncomfortable started to blow.

“Why does so warm wind start to blow? It has been already too hot.”
I said because I thought that we were deprived of the refreshing feeling.

Strange Scarecrow

However, my brother was looking in another direction. There was a scarecrow in that direction.

“What’s wrong with the scarecrow, bro?”
I asked him.

“No, I am looking beyond that.”
He said so and looked more carefully. Hearing that, I did too. Yes, I could see. What’s that?

I could not see well because it was far from us but something white whose size was that of a person was twisting with a twist.

There was nothing around there except rice field so there must not have been anyone near. I felt strange for a short time but an idea came up soon.

“That may be the new type scarecrow, may not? Until now, there is not such a moving scarecrow. So someone developed it! Probably, it is twisted by the wind!”

He seemed to convince my opinion. However his facial expression changed soon.

The wind stopped.

Nevertheless, something white continued twisting.

He was surprised and said.
“H… Hey… It is still twisting… What is that?”

Binoculars

He could not stop his curiosity and went back to bring binoculars there. He came back and said while exciting
“First, I will see that. Wait a minute.”

He peeked into the binoculars.

Soon, his face got paler and paler. He started to sweat too much. At last, he dropped his binoculars. I felt creepy with his appearance and asked him.
“What did you see? What is that?”

My brother answered slowly
“YoU sHoLd nOT UNdeRstAnD thAt”

It had not already been the voice of him. He started to walk home.

I tried to pick up the binoculars to see that but did not have the courage because of the words of my brother. But I had curiosity yet. From far, what I could see was only that something white was twisting with a twist. I felt a little strange but no fear.

(However, my bro had… Okay baby, I must see! I will see what gave him a fear!)

I picked up the binoculars and tried to peek into…

Then my grandfather ran here in a hurry.
I tried to ask him
“What’ wrong?”

Before that, he bellowed me
“Don’t see the white one! Did you see?! You! With this binoculars!?”

“N…Not yet.”
I answered and he said
“Oh… was good.”

He began to cry there with confidence. I was took home without understanding anything.

Good Bye

After coming home, everyone was crying. For me? No,they didn’t. I noticed that my elder brother was laughing and twisting as crazy like the white. I felt more fear for him than for the white one.

Then on the day we went home in the city, my grandmother said
“It is good for your brother to stay here. It is difficult for him to live in the city. It is too narrow and he can’t stand for a few days. We’ll take care of him for a few years and release to rice field. It is the best.”

I heard that and cried. He was not who I knew as my elder brother. If I visited there, he would not be him.

Why… Just until this time, we played together… Why… I wiped my tears, got into the car, and left there.

I could see my grandparents were waving hands. Wait… My brother looked like waving his hand to us. While leaving, I peeked into the binoculars to see my brother’s face. He was really crying. The facial emotion was laughing but it was the saddest laughing of him.
