Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 28 Shows No Mercy for Women
In the kitchen, Utakayo was washing dishes when Fue walked up behind him with a glass of orange juice.

"Does it hurt?"

Utakayo turned around and rolled her eyes at her. That was obvious. Not only did she step on her, but she also deliberately trampled on her.

"Stepping on your foot means I'm angry, but I greet her because I respect you."

"Forehead"

Uta Kasyapa turned and looked at Fujiang.

"Thanks?"

"You're welcome~"

Turning his head in confusion, Uta Kasyapa was puzzled as to why Fukue would specifically seek him out for an explanation.

Given her personality, shouldn't she just storm home in a huff if she's unhappy?

Fu Jiang didn't explain this, but instead found Jia Yezi, who was squatting on the ground in the yard, interacting with Xiao Hei and seemingly whispering something.

As Jia Yezi squatted down, it became very obvious how ill-fitting her clothes were; her ankles and wrists were exposed high up, almost like three-quarter sleeves.

"Jia Yezi" (佳椰).

"Hi!"

Upon hearing Fu Jiang's shout, Jia Yezi jumped up from the ground and looked nervously at Fu Jiang in the corridor. Xiao Hei, who was standing next to her, was startled and then looked over as well.

With a blank expression, she looked down at Jia Yezi in the yard, who dared not look directly at her, her head bowed, her fingers nervously clasped in front of her lower abdomen.

As she silently observed, Jia Yezi grew increasingly tense. The way those delinquents looked at her, as if they were surrounding her and scrutinizing her like they were examining some kind of object, made cold sweat break out on her forehead.

Fu... Fu Jiang, are you trying to get rid of me?
Recalling the intimate and natural way Fukie and Utakayo interacted, a bitter feeling welled up in Jia Yezi's heart.

She knew that Fue, as her girlfriend, was unhappy about her, a girl who had suddenly appeared in Uta Kasyapa's house out of nowhere.

However, Jia Yezi also understands that if she and Jia Yejun became boyfriend and girlfriend, she would also be angry if she saw him bringing back a woman for no reason.

However, he probably wouldn't dare to say it. If Kasyapa were to leave him because of this, where would he have anywhere to go?
But how could Kasyapa-kun possibly be interested in a gloomy and withdrawn girl like himself?
Thinking about this made Jia Yezi feel very sad.

"Fu Fujian, I'll be right there."

"I have a few clothes that I don't wear much. If you don't mind, you can take them and change into them."

".Eh?"

After Fujiang finished speaking, before the surprised Jia Yezi could react, she went straight to her home.

Back in her bedroom, Fujang opened the wardrobe, found a few sets of old clothes, threw them on the bed, and silently watched them.

After a long while, Fu Jiang stormed into Uta Kasaya's house in a fit of rage. Seeing Uta Kasaya clearing weeds from the ground with Kayano, she grabbed him by the collar, dragged him to the living room, pushed him onto the sofa, and started beating him with a cushion.

Before Uta Kasyapa could even open his mouth in confusion, Fukie walked past Kayanoko, who was standing by the doorframe with a worried look in her eyes, and stormed back to her own home.

"Kashyapa-kun, perhaps I should go outside?"

Looking at the hesitant and timid Jiayezi, Uta Kasyapa waved his hand thoughtfully.

"It's not your problem."

As Uta Kasyapa continued tending to the weeds in the yard, Kayanoko glanced at him with a complicated expression, then looked in the direction of Fukie's house. If... if Fukie hadn't come looking for Kasyapa... if Fukie...
Before the thought could fully form, Jia Yezi dismissed it with a look of terror.

Jia Yezi, how could you think like that!

At Fujiang's home, Fujiang casually threw the old clothes she had prepared for Jia Yezi on the ground, then slammed herself onto the bed and raised her arms to cover her eyes.

What exactly am I?
The question of what she truly is has been lingering in Fujang's mind ever since her first resurrection.

At first, she really enjoyed the feeling of being fawned over. Men only needed a word from her or an unintentional physical contact to obey her every word.

However, it's unclear when it started, perhaps because she had died so many times, but conventional pursuits could no longer arouse her interest.

She gradually grew to enjoy influencing others with her words, breaking up loving couples, and watching their families be destroyed after her will was twisted.

Only in this way can she find some joy in her gradually numbed heart.

At the same time, Fukie discovers that her abilities are also evolving with each death.

From initially relying on being killed to divide, to infecting others, to later being able to control its own cells to quickly escape and grow new bodies whenever it feels in danger.

You are special, you are unique.

Fu Jiang wholeheartedly agrees with this, and in order to achieve her uniqueness, she has even engaged in a bottomless battle with the split entities.

As they shared memories, Fu Jiang was confused more than once about whether she was the real Fu Jiang or a newly grown split entity.

With this question in mind, I don't know how many families I've been to, or how many times I've woken up from randomly dug graves, but I still can't figure it out.

Until, after dying in an accident, he regenerated his body and was taken home by his grandmother.

Until I saw that boy, who always seemed shocked to hear my name, who was always lost in thought, who treated me like a venomous snake, and who always avoided me.

He scolded himself for making such demands of his grandmother, asking her to prepare all sorts of luxurious ingredients for him, and for selling off family property just to make himself happy.

For this, he even slapped me.

Anger, a mind-numbing anger, so intense that he recklessly unleashed his power to control the young Uta Kasyapa and force him to commit suicide, only to be met with repeated fights with him.

"Ha, he shows absolutely no mercy to women."

Recalling the fights she had with Uta Kasyapa when they were children, Fukie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If you punch him, he'll kick you back.

However, when he deliberately lets the kids in his class bully him in an attempt to get his attention in order to give him a new identity and maintain a childlike demeanor, he will then beat them up.

That was after countless deaths, and I was once again experiencing what it felt like to be protected without any ulterior motives.

It was then that Fukie discovered that as long as she stayed by Uta Kasyapa's side, those evil thoughts that sounded like whispers from hell would never resurface in her mind.

Especially Yamazaki Yoshimizu, who was on the verge of death in order to save him, and who willingly merged his own cells and flesh into Yamazaki Yoshimizu's body in order to save him.

Fortunately, the situation that I had initially worried about—that Uta Kasyapa would be corrupted by me—did not happen.

From that moment on, Fu Jiang was certain that she was herself.

However, a new question arose in my mind: Am I more of a human or more of a monster now?
Can I and Kasyapa have a future, and even have children?
