Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 89 Go rinse your mouth
What happened tonight really scared Jia Yezi. The triple room she had booked turned into a double room.

When Uta Kasyapa came out of the bathroom, he saw Fue casually picking up a magazine and lying on the bed flipping through it, while Kayanoko was obediently kneeling on the bed, waiting for Uta Kasyapa to come out.

When Uta Kasyapa came out, he first hugged Kayanoko, while Fukie glanced at him without saying a word.

After he lay down, Jia Yezi glanced timidly at Fu Jiang, which made Fu Jiang annoyed and hit her on the head with a magazine.

"Lie down."

As the bedside lamp was turned off, whispers came from the darkness.

"What's my situation right now?"

"I don't know either. The only thing I'm sure of is that you're growing."

"What do you mean?"

"Combat awareness, reaction speed, and striking power are all improving at a considerable rate over time."

After a moment of silence, in the moonlight streaming through the window, Fujang turned over and looked at Kayanoko, who only dared to put her hand on Uta Kasaya's arm.

The more I look at her, the more she resembles a mistress.
"Specifically, I will contact the relevant agencies to conduct an examination for you. Rather than guessing, let the data tell us what happened to you."

Uta Kasyapa pondered for a moment and then agreed with Fukie's suggestion.

"Just hold onto it, it's staring at you pitifully, but it doesn't dare to say a word."

As Fukie spoke, Uta Kasyapa reached out and took each of the two women's hands.

"It must have hurt a lot that night."

Uta Kasyapa did not speak, but his breathing became somewhat heavy.

Fu Jiang tenderly stroked his eyebrows and eyes, and Jia Yezi's eyes also reddened.

"You've inherited a bit of Jia Yezi's idiocy; even in that state, you still won't say a word."

"But it also makes me feel very at ease."

As she murmured, Fujō embraced Uta Kasyapa and closed her eyes.

Being protected like a precious treasure brings a sense of peace, so much so that appropriate sharing is not so difficult for Fu Jiang to accept.

*****
The sun rose as usual, and Haruko Higa, having received a call from the police, returned to the Truth Building, which was completely cordoned off.

"President Haruko, please take a look and see if this is the 'Foolish Tribulation' you mentioned."

Haruko Higa examined the scarlet-red Foolish Calamity in her hand, looking at the hair-thin cracks on it, which were marks of being torn apart from the inside.

It is clear that when Bone Spirit encountered the terrifying being in the building, it tried to hide in the Foolish Tribulation in an attempt to avoid being killed directly, but it failed.

It didn't expect that the terrifying being not only chased after it, but also directly shattered it and the sealed space during the Foolish Tribulation.

So, what exactly is that thing?
Gods? Or something else?
Whom is He standing behind, Jia Yezi or Fu Jiang?

I recall the twisted corridor in the hospital ward, and the Truth Building that was swallowed up by darkness.

The unsettling feeling of standing on the edge of an abyss, the kind that makes one's hair stand on end, is vastly different from the peaceful spiritual energy fluctuations of a deity.

A demon?
However, if it is an evil spirit, it is impossible for it to manifest on its own without a command.

After all, evil spirits have very little reason to speak of; their greatest contribution is not killing indiscriminately.

And for some inexplicable reason, Haruko Higa felt that the darkness of the Truth Building looked somewhat familiar.

In a daze, the tragedy of Baishi Mountain appeared in Bijia Qingzi's mind, that mark that, even though it was sealed with cement by the abbot of Chongming, still sent chills down her spine.

And in the abandoned shrine, the puppet spirit was brutally torn apart by spiritual power. In an instant, everything connected in Haruko Higa's mind.

So, is that seemingly weak and delicate girl named Jia Yezi the most dangerous of the three?

Lost in thought, looking at the nearly ruined Foolish Calamity in her hand, Higa Haruko used her spiritual power to isolate it from the real world and put it in her pocket. She turned to leave, but Asahi Toshifuku, who was in charge of the operation, quickly spoke up when he saw this.

"President Haruko, um, aren't you going to perform some kind of ritual to help the deceased pass on to the afterlife?"

Haruko Higa glanced back at Toshifumi Asahi and said in a calm, indifferent tone.

"There's no need for that. Whether it's a wronged soul or an evil spirit inside, they've all been scattered. Tell your subordinates that the probability of encountering something unclean inside is even lower than in a busy park. Just focus on cleaning up the scene."

After saying that, Haruko turned and walked towards her car. Just as she was about to get in, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, if you see any obvious, strange markings, such as pale white faces or disturbing black spots, tell them to cover them with cement. Don't touch them directly, or I won't be responsible if they die."

Recalling that no disturbances occurred afterward due to the mark left by the guardian spirit of Kayano, Haruko Higa deduced that the guardian spirit's pattern of flare-ups was likely related to external stimuli.

Let's temporarily categorize Him as the guardian spirit of the coconut tree; that's the only way that best suits His nature.

As long as she isn't provoked by the outside world, will Jia Yezi's guardian spirit not activate? Thinking of Jia Yezi, one can't help but think of Fu Jiang and Uta Kasyapa, especially that girl who is unbelievably beautiful, has a mysterious background, and can even command the Inoue family to do things for her.

"Kashyapa-kun, what secret do you hold that makes you follow two such dangerous girls?"

During the drive, Haruko Higa repeatedly tried to find Kayano to determine the strength and danger of her guardian spirit.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he recalled the horrific torture and interrogation that Uta Kasyapa had endured.

Even so, on the verge of a complete mental breakdown, she used her last shred of sanity to bite off her tongue to avoid exposing Jia Yezi and Fu Jiang's special nature.

From a woman's perspective, even if Uta Kasyapa had nothing special about him, he was still a man worth having two women follow by his side.

"Forget it, that kid is reliable enough, he should be able to keep them in check."

After muttering to herself, Haruko Higa turned around and drove back to her house in Osaka.

Meanwhile, at Uta Kassapa's house, after a morning of urgent work, Kayano's room was finally completed.

Jia Yezi strolled slowly through the room, sunlight casting distinct shadows through the window.

The soft, comfortable bed was so different from the tatami mat she had made with a broken mattress. In the wardrobe were dresses that Fujang and Kasyapa had bought for her.

At this moment, Jia Yezi felt a warmth she had never experienced at home.

That is the happiness of being valued and needed.

"Jia Yezi, have some water first."

On the bed, Jia Yezi turned to her side, closed her eyes, and fell into a peaceful sleep.

The girl's lips were slightly parted, revealing glimpses of her snow-white teeth and rosy cheeks.

With her plump figure and adorable sleeping face, Uta Kassapa couldn't help but squat down and quietly and gently bite her.

"Well"

She groggily opened her eyes, glanced at the boy she loved, and then slowly closed her eyes again, her lips moving slightly in response.

"Sleep a little longer, I'll wake you up for dinner later."

"Good~"

Upon hearing Jia Yezi's coquettish murmurs for the first time, Utakayo was momentarily stunned. He then touched her face and left the room as the girl fell asleep again.

In the living room, Fu Jiang, who had changed into a shirt upstairs, walked down the stairs with her long, alluring, snow-white hair tied in a ponytail.

Is there anything she wants to change?

"No, she seems to like it, she's already asleep."

"Is it."

Fu Jiang nodded, not surprised by the result.

A girl who has long lacked love, is withdrawn and gloomy, can have her heart overflow with just a little bit of love.

Did Kasyapa know this before he provoked her?

Recalling the various interactions between Uta Kasyapa and Kayanoko, Fukie dismissed the idea.

After all, ill intentions at this point are different from the initial affection, and Jia Yezi does indeed easily evoke a man's protective instincts.

So why did nobody pay attention to her before?
After much thought, Fu Jiang could only attribute the cause of this situation to Ju-on Kayanokoji.

After all, it's a special being that even she herself would feel uneasy about, so it's normal for its aura to affect Jia Yezi.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, come here."

Uta Kasyapa walked up to her with a puzzled look, and then Fukie chuckled and hugged his neck before kissing him.

Snapped!
Go rinse your mouth!

Rubbing his numb chest, Uta Kassapa looked at the furious Fukie and asked hesitantly.

"How did you find out?"

"The lychee candy she ate was given to her by me, so why do you think that is?!"
