Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 24 Is there really no reason for that?
Going out with Fujang is actually a very troublesome thing. Even though she tries her best not to influence other people's will, her impeccable appearance still attracts a lot of attention, and even trouble.

"Hey buddy, is this your girlfriend? She's pretty. Want to hang out?"

Yakuza, a group of people that island nations' laws try to restrain but cannot fully control, are a group of people who attempt to whitewash themselves through charity and companies, but in reality still disregard morality and the law.

At this time, Fue and Utakayo encountered yakuza members. They wouldn't directly attack girls because that would be illegal.

However, the law cannot prevent a group of people from just walking down the same path as you and from occasionally loitering near your home.

In the past, this kind of sham method was always effective, since most people in the island nation are very afraid of trouble.

However, they ran into a brick wall today, especially Fue, who had a rare chance to come out with Utakayo and had dressed up beautifully, only to have her good mood interrupted.

In an instant, Fujang's expression turned terrifying.

"Jump off the bridge, now, immediately, right now!"

"Fujiang, wait."

However, before Uta Kasyapa could finish speaking to stop them, several yakuza thugs, looking bewildered, nimbly vaulted over the railing and jumped off the bridge.

Fortunately, the bridge wasn't high. After watching the group's doggy-paddle swimming style and confirming that they wouldn't drown, Uta Kasyapa looked towards the Fu River.

"Don't look at me like that. It's rare for us to go on a date, and to have my good mood ruined is already a favor. I'm just glad I didn't make them jump off a building."

Despite her attempts to explain, Fujō still felt guilty and turned her face away, not daring to look at Uta Kasyapa with a helpless expression.

In high school, Fukie would occasionally cause trouble by using her abilities out of boredom. When Uta Kasyapa found out, he nagged her about it for almost half a month.

And if she's really angered, Uta Kasyapa might actually slap her.

Seeing Fujang's timid yet unwilling appearance, Uta Kasyapa chuckled and stepped forward to pull her along.

Fu Jiang, whose hand was being held, glanced at their clasped hands and a smile appeared on her lips.

Even a fool can have a moment of enlightenment.

It was a rare treat for them to get together, and Fujang was overjoyed. Watching her wander around the food street like a little fairy, Utakayo felt it was time to buy a camera.

Hmm. Speaking of which, if Fukie were to become a clothing model, the effect would probably be very good.

"What are you thinking about?"

My thoughts were interrupted by the glutinous rice ball brought to my face, so I opened my mouth and took a bite.

“I think that with your looks, you could probably achieve great success as a model.”

"Hmm~"

Fujang enjoyed feeding Uta Kasyapa. Seeing him devour a dumpling in a few bites, she quickly picked up another one and held it to his mouth.

"That's why I'm telling you, don't worry about not having money in the future. I can definitely support you. I have plenty of ways to do it."

"And then, incidentally, keep a few gigolos?"

Snapped!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I keep a tool as a pet?"

Fukie, who had slapped Uta Kasyapa, rolled her eyes in annoyance and made a sarcastic remark about him.

To her, men were merely tools, spoils of war, medals, and honors, but never people.

"Except for you!"

As Fukie leaned closer to him, her smile a mix of playfulness and allure, Uta Kasyapa was slightly taken aback, then quickly and lightly touched her red lips.

The sudden attack startled Fujang for a moment, then she straightened up and chuckled smugly.

"I thought you were a saint."

"Why do you say that?"

Fu Jiang took out some money from her wallet, ordered a takoyaki, and then leaned close to Uta Kasyapa, slightly tiptoeing to hug his neck, whispering sweetly in his ear.

"I spent half the night there, like a block of wood. Hey, there's a hotel right next door, the atmosphere's got it all figured out. Want to check it out?"

Uta Kassapa was startled and quickly grabbed her waist to separate the two.

What are you thinking?

Seeing Uta Kasyapa's speechless expression, Fukie chuckled smugly for a while.

Before long, Fu Jiang's takoyaki was ready.

Watching Fujang devour takoyaki without a care for her image, Uta Kasyapa suddenly recalled a scene from the manga where she scolded others for wanting to eat abalone and other high-end ingredients.

I thought you would prefer those expensive ingredients.

Upon hearing this, Fu Jiang, who was walking ahead, turned around and glanced at Utakayo. Utakayo's sudden words startled her for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she walked to Utakayo's side.

"You mean the time when I was killing each other, right?"

"Forehead"

Uta Kassapa did not expect that Fukie would think of that place so quickly.

“I didn’t mean to bring you up.” Fu Jiang gave him a hard poke in the waist.

"If you're going to ask, just ask openly and honestly. Being timid and hesitant is not manly at all!"

"I'm practically delivering myself to their doorstep."

"."

After making a sarcastic remark about Uta Kasyapa, Fukie explained to him softly as they walked away.

"Back then, I didn't actually like eating those things; I just felt that eating them made me seem to have more sophisticated tastes?"

As he spoke, Fu Jiang threw the trash on the ground, and the patrolman next to him immediately stepped forward to issue a fine.

"Littering will result in a fine!"

"Why don't you just pick it up and throw it in the trash for me?"

"I can easily control the patrolmen to leave," Fu Jiang continued.

"It seems like it started after my first death that I found my personality becoming increasingly unstable."

Upon his first death, Uta Kasaya recalled the scene of Fukie being dismembered and killed by the entire class of teachers and students.

"Is it related to the baby in her womb?"

"Huh?! What nonsense are you talking about? Where did I get a child?"

Looking at Uta Kasyapa's confused expression, Fukie pondered for a moment.

"In your world, I have a child?!"

"Uh, I think so, it seems to be Takagi's."

"what?!"

"So this is part of the reason why you've always been unwilling to touch me?"

"."

Utakayo rolled her eyes, too lazy to answer her question.

"Tell me, isn't that right!"

With her collar grabbed, and looking at Fukie's fierce eyes, determined not to give up until she got an answer, Uta Kasyapa began to explain.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly reject you because of that? It's just that I've discovered that after your cells were implanted, when I'm close to you, intense sadistic thoughts well up from the bottom of my heart."

"Is there really no reason related to that?"

“Really not”

Fu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and then slowly loosened his collar.

"I don't know how your world knows that Takagi and I were once together."

However, Takagi and I are just business partners. The so-called romance is just a smokescreen; we're just two lunatics who happened to be together.

"You have a good understanding of yourself."

Seeing that Uta Kasyapa was hesitant to speak, Fujang grabbed his arm and led him to sit down on the bench.

“Ever since my father called my mother to help him defile me but failed, and I accidentally fell and died during my struggle, my mother tried to kill me, and finally, under my influence, she hanged herself.” My mental state has been damaged.

Fukie's story surprised Uta Kasyapa; he hadn't expected Fukie to have such a past.

Looking at the expressionless girl in front of him, Uta Kasyapa couldn't help but feel a pang of pity and reached out to hold her hand.

Fujiang grasped Uta Kasyapa's palm with her other hand and said in a distant tone.

"Don't feel sad, after all, it's all in the past. You might feel a little sentimental when you think about it occasionally."

"Back to Takagi, unlike me, he's a pure antisocial psychopath. The so-called romantic relationship was just a rumor that we had to spread to cover up our cooperation."

"So I never had any relationship with him, not to mention that my parents' incident had just happened not long before, and I was too disgusted by that kind of thing to even think about it."

When Takagi was mentioned, Fukie frowned.

"During the collaboration, he did a lot of things with my cells, which greatly helped me understand my own abilities, but also brought a lot of trouble."

"trouble?"

"Yes, he later used my cells to conduct an experiment in a village, which I did at the time."

Looking at Uta Kasyapa beside her, Fukie was unsure whether Uta Kasyapa would hate her after she told him about her feelings at the time.

But then she revealed her truest thoughts.

If Uta Kasyapa truly dislikes himself because of this, it only proves that his specialness isn't all that special.
