Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

Takuya Hase attended the Kyoto Exorcists' Quarterly Meeting for two days, and for convenience, he did not return to the shrine but chose to stay at a nearby hotel.

Jia Yezi saw that Hase Takuya was not there, so she also went home.

"I'm back."

There was still no response, and there was still no place for her on the shoe rack. Her parents didn't seem to care where she had been during the two days she was away from home.

On the table by the entrance was a thousand-yen bill, proof that her parents still remembered they had such a daughter, but that was all.

Jia Yezi was already used to this, as was Xiao Hei.

Back in her cramped room, she looked at it and realized it was more than half the size of Takuya's room.

Jia Yezi hugged Xiao Hei and sat on the tatami, her heart filled with longing for Hase Takuya.

Xiao Hei sensed its owner's low spirits and stepped on her chest, rubbing against her right cheek repeatedly.

She didn't actually want to come back, because whether she was there or not wouldn't make any difference to the family.

But since Takuya wasn't there, there was no need to stay at the shrine any longer.

Besides having to see that annoying woman, Jia Yezi thought about it and decided to go home.

His lifeless eyes unconsciously glanced at the corner of the room, looking at his personal belongings. The once crowded space now had many empty spaces.

Since getting her own room at the shrine, Kayoko has been moving her "home" to Takuya's house little by little, like an ant carrying food.

By now, very little remains here; aside from essential daily necessities, nothing else has been left.

Leaning against the wall, Jia Yezi's thoughts were in turmoil.

She didn't know that one day she would completely empty her room and never come back.

The parents probably won't find out, because she will completely take away all her things.

The parents might also find that an empty room has inexplicably appeared on the far side, with nothing left behind.

I opened my phone and looked at my contacts. The first thing that caught my eye was the name "Takuya-kun".

There was no one else besides them.

It's strange, isn't it? As a daughter, I don't even have my parents' phone numbers.

It's definitely strange, because everyone else has their parents' phone numbers.

She never thought of asking her parents for their contact information, just as her parents never asked her for theirs.

But in Chuan You's family, this is normal.

They are familiar with each other, yet completely strangers.

With her head turned to one side and staring blankly at the ground, Jia Yezi couldn't understand why she had returned home.

Is it because deep down, there is still a sliver of longing for family?

"Takuya..."

On the steps of the shrine, Mako walked into the shrine without blushing or panting, carrying the exercise equipment she had bought.

Dumbbells, jump ropes, and arm strength bars are all portable fitness equipment.

Upon entering the living room, Mako placed them in a corner.

I turned on the TV and randomly put on a program. Then I went to the refrigerator, took out an ice pop, bit the ice pop, opened the package, took out the hand gripper, and held it in my left hand.

Sitting in front of the kotatsu, eating an ice pop while unconsciously gripping a hand gripper.

Each time you squeeze, the hand gripper will make a "click" sound when it rests against a certain spot.

She used to work on construction sites, and the amount of physical activity there meant she didn't need these things.

But now, as Takuya's assistant, he has to use these things to consume the energy he absorbs from eating.

Dieting is definitely out of the question. Now that she's finally able to eat her fill, Mako will never deprive herself of food.

But if you don't diet and don't exercise, you'll definitely become fat. Men like curvy girls, but they'll never like chubby girls.

Although it was very subtle, he definitely had lewd thoughts about himself.

The juice from the ice cream dripped down the popsicle stick onto my chest, and I pulled out a tissue to wipe it off.

His gaze lingered on those two lumps of fat, intentionally or unintentionally, several times.

I certainly wouldn't say I dislike his gaze.

It was just strange, but every time his gaze fell on her, she would feel a tingling sensation.

After finishing my ice cream, I glanced at the sky outside and realized it was time for dinner.

Taking out the ingredients Takuya had stored from the refrigerator, Mako walked into the kitchen, stood in front of the gas stove, and began to recreate the meals he had made for her, based on her memory.

The table was laden with food, but the colors of the dishes were quite strange.

Mako filled a large bowl with rice for herself, then picked up a piece of slightly blackened stir-fried pork and put it in her mouth.

After chewing twice, Mako put down her chopsticks and fell into thought.

I got up, found my phone on the kotatsu, and opened Hase Takuya's Line.

A mountain village construction site daily wage - When are you coming back?

Morita Hase Miyaji - Tomorrow, what's wrong?

A mountain village construction site daily wage - I'm not a good cook.

Morita Hase Miyaji - Go out to eat, or order takeout before it gets dark?

Mako stared blankly at the table full of food she had prepared.

A mountain village construction site daily wage - I'll eat it, you hurry home.

At the Kyoto quarterly exorcism summary meeting, Takuya Hase looked at the message Mako had sent him on his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Morita Hase-miyaji - will be back tomorrow afternoon.

A mountain village construction site daily pay - Hmm.

Beside Takuya Hase, Mio Koizumi frowned slightly as she looked at the chat messages on Takuya Hase's phone.

"Is your friend staying at your house?"

When Koizumi Mio asked him questions, Hase Takuya hesitated for a moment before deciding to briefly tell her about the two women's situation.

After hearing Takuya Hase's explanation, Mio Koizumi frowned even more deeply, and her gaze towards him took on a malicious glint.

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"

Seeing how Koizumi Mio was about to hit him whenever she heard something he didn't want to hear, Hase Takuya was speechless.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of someone in distress... Don't talk nonsense. It's just that Mako's situation is a bit complicated. Now that we've run into her, you can't just let her end up on the streets."

"This isn't before the supernatural event; look at the streets now, how many homeless people are there?"

Mio Koizumi did not lower her guard because of Takuya Hase's explanation, but instead pressed for further questions.

"You didn't have any bad intentions?"

Takuya Hase looked at her helplessly.

"What bad thoughts could I possibly have... Putting aside Kayoko, Mako could easily beat me five times over..."

Seeing Hase Takuya's speechless expression, Koizumi Mio pondered for a moment.

"I'm warning you, don't use dirty tricks on girls. If you don't have money, you can use my card."

After saying this, Mio Koizumi paused for a moment.

"If you really want to, you can spend money to go and have fun."

"If you ever end up in jail for using illegal means, I guarantee I'll break your legs!"

"..."

"What kind of person do you take me for...?"

Speechless, Hase Taku glanced at Koizumi Mio and decided not to dwell on the topic for long.

The more she explained, the more confusing it became. After all, in a sense, her relationship with Jia Yezi and Mako was indeed very easy for others to misunderstand...

However, just when Takuya Hase thought the matter was over and focused on attending the meeting, Mio Koizumi suddenly asked a question.

"Is she pretty?"

"They're all pretty... huh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Hase Takuya looked at Koizumi Mio, whose eyes were filled with anger and who had already reached out to grab his ear.

"No, I really didn't do anything to them...!"
