Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 142 It Wasn't a Waste of Time

Jia Yezi walked ahead, holding hands with Xiao Fujiang, while Miyagawa Shoshu followed behind them with a smile on his face.

"This is a basketball shooting machine, this is a motorcycle machine, and over there is a claw machine. The payout rate for my claw machine is pretty good!"

During the introduction, Jia Yezi's gaze couldn't help but drift towards the claw machine.

The image of the male and female protagonists going to the arcade to play claw machines in the TV show involuntarily popped into my mind.

Xiao Fujiang noticed her gaze, took a basket of game coins and handed it to her.

"Go ahead and arrest me if you want."

Jia Yezi glanced at the basket full of game coins, carefully took out two, and Xiao Fujiang rolled her eyes and shoved the whole basket into her hands.

"Go catch it, but be careful, otherwise people will think our family can't afford it."

He slapped her on the bottom, and Xiao Fujiang raised her chin to signal her to come over quickly.

Jia Yezi blinked, pursed her lips, and jogged over to the claw machine.

As the music started, the claws remained motionless.

Xiao Fujiang was taken aback, then sighed and walked over to her to start teaching her.

"The joystick controls the direction, the button confirms the position, and there you go, it's starting!"

"Uh-huh!"

Jia Yezi nodded vigorously, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes as she looked at the doll that had just been grabbed and dropped.

Seeing this, Miyagawa Shoshu quickly but quietly walked to his subordinate's side and said through gritted teeth.

"Didn't they tell us to adjust the probability?"

"It's been adjusted, but the highest probability is only 80%."

As the younger brother explained, sweating profusely, Xiao Fujiang took a few steps back. Seeing this, Miyagawa Hayashi let the younger brother go and came to Xiao Fujiang's side.

"Miss Fujiang, aren't you going to catch a couple?"

Xiao Fujiang shook her head, picked up the camera, and began to focus on taking pictures of the beautiful coconut.

Amidst the continuous flashes of the shutter, Jia Yezi, beaming with joy, turns around frame by frame after frame, clutching the doll like a child as she runs to the Xiao Fujiang River.

"Little Fujiang, here you go~"

After staring blankly at the white doll, Xiao Fujang looked up.

"You do not want?"

"Here you go with the first one!"

Without giving a clear answer, Xiao Fujang took the doll and held it to her chest, stroking it.

Seeing that Xiao Fujiang had accepted it, Jia Yezi happily ran back. Xiao Hei sat beside her, its tail swaying as it looked up at its owner with curiosity.

"Miss Fujiang, aren't you going to have fun?"

"I was just accompanying her out for fun. By the way, Miyagawa, you're really fast."

Upon hearing this, Miyagawa Shoshu knew that she meant he had cleared the scene so that Kayoko could relax more.

"You flatter me; it's my duty."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two looked up at Jia Yezi, who would jump for joy every time she caught a plush toy.

Before long, Jia Yezi's arms were full of dolls. She hesitated for a while, looked down at them, picked out a pink one, and ran back to Xiao Fujiang.

"It's nice, here you go."

Before Xiao Fujang could even speak, Jia Yezi shoved the doll into her arms and ran back.

"The probability is usually not that high, thank you for your hard work."

"Not at all, it's my pleasure. As long as Miss Jia Yezi is happy."

Looking at the genuine smile on Miyagawa Hayashi's face, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Fujiang's eyes.

Has she stopped evoking disgust in people just by looking at her?

pretty good.

The unhappiness of childhood requires a lifetime to heal.

Perhaps because she had no entertainment when she was a child, Jia Yezi was very fascinated by everything in the arcade.

Even if she plays terribly, even if she dies again and again, she will still puff up her cheeks and persevere in continuing to play, even forgetting to open her mouth when Xiao Fujiang offers her snacks.

She pinched Jia Yezi's cheek in an annoyed manner.

"Open your mouth!"

"Ah~"

Looking at Jia Yezi, who was constantly chewing on her food but hadn't forgotten the game in her hand, Xiao Fujiang helplessly rubbed her head.

As dusk fell, Jia Yezi reluctantly left the arcade, pulled along by Xiao Fujiang, looking every bit like a reclusive, withdrawn girl. "Uncle... this, this is for you."

Miyagawa Hayashi, who was standing at the door seeing the two off, was a little stunned when he saw the blue tanuki that Kayanoko put into his hand.

Coming to his senses, Miyagawa Shoshu looked at Yoshiyuki getting into the car and quickly shouted.

"Have a safe trip and be happy, Miss Jia Yezi!"

His subordinates were puzzled as to why their boss was so agitated, but only Nagahiro, who was his confidant and knew about Miyagawa Shoshu's experiences, could guess what was going on.

Many yakuza members are not born evil; they join the yakuza for various compelling reasons.

As for Miyagawa Shoshu, he should be considered one of the most tragic groups.

After all, his older brother joined the yakuza to avenge his sister.
Back home, Jia Yezi quickly kicked off her shoes, and in her white socks, she ran into her room, clutching the plush toy she had won that day.

Xiao Fujiang had just changed her shoes when she saw her running out with two dolls in her arms, heading straight for the bedroom on the second floor.

"?"

A moment later, looking at the doll that had disappeared from her hand, Xiao Fujiang smiled slightly.

I still remember to prepare gifts for Fujang and Jiaye; it wasn't a waste of time to raise them.

Stretching and sitting on the sofa, Xiao Fujang turned on the stereo and played some melodious classical music.

This was Kasyapa's favorite song when he was writing, but at that time he could only lie on the coffee table, propping his chin up and watching him write.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, he saw the various tools that Uta Kasyapa had prepared especially for him, opened his personal cupboard, and took out his special little bowl.

"It's so small!"

Looking at the rice bowl, which was barely the size of her fingertip, Xiao Fujian chuckled and put it down.

My gaze followed my private elevator all the way up to my bedroom on the second floor.

Lying in bed, Xiao Fujiang turned to her side and stroked the right pillow where Uta Kasyapa usually slept, as if she could touch his face that way.

After lying down for a while, Xiao Fujiang sat up in bed, took the utility knife from Uta Kasyapa's desk, and cut a wound on her finger.

A moment later, Xiao Fujiang reappeared on the desk.

He took the clothes out of his pocket and handed them to her. The two little girls, one big and one small, looked at each other in silence.

I'm a little sad.

"But I promised!"

A moment later, the grown-up Xiao Fujiang smiled slightly and stretched lazily.

"That's true, then I'll be going."

"Ah."

After changing her clothes, Xiao Fujiang was carried to the living room in the palm of his hand, while Xiao Hei stood up and looked on in surprise and uncertainty.

Xiao Fujiang watched as her other self walked out of the courtyard. After a moment of silence, she took the small elevator down to the ground and ran thumping into Jia Yezi's house.

"Good coconut, good coconut."

"Eh?"

Jia Yezi stared wide-eyed in surprise at Xiao Fujiang, who had shrunk back to a tiny size.

"Put me back."

"oh oh.."

Jia Yezi carefully took the little Fujiang and placed it against her chest. She looked at the little Fujiang, who was no longer rubbing against her skin as before.

"Xiao Fujiang, are you unhappy?"

“A little.”

"Oh"

"Oh, that's it? You're not even going to comfort me? All those snacks I fed you were for nothing!"

"I... I don't know how to comfort people."

"."

That seems to make sense. Oh well, I won't make things difficult for her.

Watching Xiao Fujiang remain silent for a moment, then suddenly bury her face in her own flesh and rub against herself, Jia Yezi suddenly took a doll and held it to her chest.

Here, have another one, don't be angry.

Xiao Fujiang looked up at the somewhat ugly pink doll.

"Thank you~"
