"is it?"

"Is that what you had in mind?"

"But I don't think I ever said I was really going to just ignore it."

"Don't just sentence yourself to death."

"Gods and such? It's not like I haven't killed them before."

Tilting his head, Sakurai straightened the restless snack that was sitting on his lap and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Gah!"

He turned his head stiffly, looking completely bewildered amidst Mrs. Baoyue's snickers.

I don't know how he managed to win over Mrs. Baoyue in the first place.

Baoyue inherited more of her mother's genes, which is really great.

"Why do you think I gave your daughter a special gift yesterday?"

Holding up a finger, Sakurai asked the stunned Baoyue's father a question.

"what do you mean?"

Baoyue's father, who had fallen from heaven to hell and then returned to heaven, felt his heart couldn't take it.

He stared intently at Sakurai, awaiting his judgment.

"It's very simple, I've already asked you, haven't I?"

"Were your daughter's eyes natural?"

He lifted the late-night snack that was sitting on his lap, rotated it 180 degrees so that she could look him in the eye.

Looking into her skull-like eyes, Sakurai asked the question again.

"No, it's been during this period..."

"It just appeared."

When it came to her daughter's situation, Mrs. Baoyue, who had been watching with amusement, couldn't sit still any longer and answered Sakurai's question immediately.

"is it?"

"It's exactly what I thought."

Sakurai's expression didn't change much when he was being lifted up high.

“Your daughter’s situation is very special.”

"If you make good use of this talent and grow into a capable individual, you might be able to protect your family."

"how to say."

"I personally don't like this plan, but my friend insists on it, so I can only let that guy have his way."

"It's because I owe that guy a huge favor."

Sakurai sighed helplessly as he spoke.

"oh oh!"

Unlike Sakurai, she was overjoyed when she heard that she could protect her parents.

Waving his little fist, Xiao Yexiao seemed very energetic.

"what do you mean?"

When it came to her daughter's safety, Mrs. Baoyue pulled her husband back and asked Sakurai uncertainly.

Do you want to protect your mom and dad?

Sakurai lowered his head and looked at Baoyue Yexiao.

Ye Xiao nodded vigorously, looking like a little adult full of enthusiasm.

"very good."

Sakurai, whose lips curled into a smile before returning to their original shape, looked up at her parents who were having a late-night snack.

Have you ever heard of "geokai" (形代)?

"A doll that takes the blame for itself."

"By placing a part of your own body into a human silhouette, you can make it a substitute for yourself."

"When injured, the genie will take the damage in place of its owner."

"From a game perspective, it's the remaining lives of the available characters."

With a snap of his fingers, Sakurai began to describe this little-known story.

“I’ve heard it; it’s a story my friend told me.”

"Or rather, it's a possibility."

"If you could capture the supernatural and put a part of your own body into it."

“Bound spirits can also be used as [substitutes].

"To control the supernatural and take their power for oneself."

"It's not just another way to control [Shikigami]."

"If it's these eyes, perhaps they have that kind of potential."

Sakurai gently patted Xiaoyexiao's head, his voice very soft.

"At least, if the eyes of a person who can see become like this, perhaps they possess incredible abilities and powers."

The method of controlling the supernatural and transforming it into one's own power.

It has a similar approach to Sakurai's [ability].

In a sense, they could even attain immortality, just like Sakurai.

but...

This is just a legend. Unlike other forms of life, the supernatural is inherently a chaotic and disordered evil existence.

They wanted to control it and make it their own power.

This is just as unbelievable as Sakurai's ability to directly swallow non-food items.

That's a complete fantasy.

but...

If it was the void that coveted the mother body, and if it was Little Night Snack that awakened those eyes after that being annihilated...

Although the possibility is extremely slim, Baoyue Night Snacks may have the potential to make this "possibility" a reality.

As Sakurai was leaving, the unscrupulous merchant told him...

If he really wanted to get involved in this mess.

That midnight snack must be able to control the supernatural to create a physical form; only then...

Only then will he protect Baoyue's family during this period.

This is the premise.

The bartender stated that he was a businessman and would never do business at a loss.

Without a sufficient return, it's absolutely impossible to get him to risk breaking the rules to help.

Sakurai and Mrs. Hogetsu exchanged glances as Sakurai offered her finger to Yexiao to play with.

He then told the story.

"If it were this child, perhaps he could accomplish something so fantastical."

38. From this day forward, you will be an enemy of the gods. (End of this volume)

When Sakurai found the treasure moon snack, he already had a feeling.

She and herself share a striking resemblance in some way.

Now, Sakurai understands...

Baoyue, only eight years old, is an "outlier" with special talents, just like herself (Yakuragawa).

She possesses the ability to control the supernatural.

Those double pupils, resembling a skull, are the best proof.

"If you think this is a transaction, that's fine too."

"We don't mind."

“My friend will be responsible for your safety until your daughter grows up.”

Looking at the couple, Sakurai appeared as indifferent as ever.

Sakurai isn't in a good mood right now.

If he weren't all alone and had no other choice, and if only the bartender could protect this family, he would never have let a little kid who wasn't even as tall as his thigh take such a risk.

Too dangerous.

"But..."

It was obvious to the naked eye that Mrs. Baoyue was in a dilemma.

Sakurai's words sound impressive, but doesn't it all seem like he's putting his daughter in danger?

No matter the reason, a mother would never want her daughter to be in danger.

Needless to say, this danger was caused by himself.

As a mother, she simply...

Can not accept.

If Mrs. Baoyue is in such a difficult position, one can only imagine how difficult it must be for Mr. Baoyue, the head of the family.
