Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

Inside the shrine, since Takuya Hase had returned today, Kayo took Kuro back to the shrine as soon as get out of class ended.

Below the steps, Jia Yezi and Xiao Hei with its tail wagging slowly emerged.

Having found the key hidden in the crack at the shrine entrance, Jia Yezi took it out and opened the door. Xiao Hei, having dried its paws on the mat prepared by Hase Takuya, went into the shrine first.

In the living room, Mako, dressed in black tight hot pants and a vest, lay on the floor like a slovenly man reading a novel when Kuro jumped in from the doorway, tail wagging.

Meow~

Mako looked away from her book, glanced at the little black dog standing at the door, turning its head to look at her, and nodded to it.

When Xiao Hei entered the kitchen, it used its paws to pry open the cabinet where dried saury was stored. It stood up on the cabinet partition, grabbed a piece of dried fish, turned around, and kicked the door shut without looking back.

"Hey, Takuya's not here, how can you eat dried fish without even saying hello..."

Walking into the living room and squatting next to Xiao Hei, Jia Yezi picked up the dried fish that Xiao Hei had already bitten a few times, and slapped its head with a reproachful look.

Little Black didn't bark or make a sound; it just stared longingly at the dried fish that its owner had picked up, licking its lips.

In the end, Jiayezi returned the dried fish to it and planned to tell Takuya when he returned.

It would be troublesome if Takuya found out on his own and started to dislike Kuro because of this, and then disliked him even more...

After glancing at Mako, who was sitting by the kotatsu reading a novel, Kayako expressionlessly moved to sit on the other side of the kotatsu.

I will never give up the living room to this woman, absolutely not!

In the silence, Jia Yezi turned on the TV, completely oblivious to how Mako, who was reading a book, felt.

At the entrance of the shrine, Mio Koizumi stood with her hands on her hips, frowning.

"When did you run away?"

Takuya Hase, carrying various ingredients, knew she was asking about the gods, and pursed his lips helplessly.

"I don't know either. When I came to my senses, I had no idea where I was."

Upon hearing this, Mio Koizumi frowned even more deeply.

"Before or after contacting them?"

Takuya Hase pondered this for a moment.

"It should have been after contact."

"Oh?"

As she spoke, Mio Koizumi tied her hair back, and two golden talismans from her black hunting robe flew forward rapidly without wind, circled the shrine once, and returned to Mio Koizumi's vicinity.

There was nothing unusual, but this made Mio Koizumi frown even more.

Remembering how that brat always avoided or remained silent when she questioned him about the identities of the two women, Mio Koizumi turned back to look at him with a hostile gaze.

Takuya Hase chuckled and pursed his lips as he watched her prepare to attack him again.

"I'll go in and cook first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takuya Hase, carrying the ingredients, fled into the shrine.

In the living room, the two women noticed Takuya Hase's arrival. Kayako happily went to the door to greet him, but Mio Koizumi, with a stern face, bumped into her.

"Um, this is my cousin Mio Koizumi, this is Mako Yamamura, and this is Yuka Kawakami."

In the living room, as Takuya Hase began his introduction, Mio Koizumi entered the living room while Kayoko was still in a daze.

Mako, who had been lying casually on the floor, propping her right cheek up like a rough man reading a book, silently put away her novel and immediately straightened her back and sat up straight.

Mio Koizumi took in the various changes in the two women, and then noticed the little black figure squatting in front of her.

Meow~

Looking at the little black cat sitting on the ground, its fur as black as clouds and snow, looking up at her obediently, Mio Koizumi grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and held it in front of her.

Kuro's limbs hung freely, and he stared at Mio Koizumi with his big eyes.

A moment later, Koizumi Mio casually tucked the black cat into her bosom and sat down in the spot where Hase Takuya usually sat in front of the kotatsu.

"Um...we're having hot pot in Chongqing tonight, it'll be a bit spicy."

After he finished speaking, Takuya Hase blinked as he looked at the two women nodding and Mio Koizumi engrossed in petting the cat.

"You need to..."

"Go to the kitchen and cook."

With an unquestionable command in hand, Takuya Hase looked at his cousin with a helpless yet pleading expression.

After Koizumi Mio frowned at him, Hase Takuya could only obediently go to the kitchen.

In the living room, Mio Koizumi was still petting the cat with her head down. Although she didn't say a word, both women felt immense pressure.

In the silent moment, Kayano and Mako, sitting on either side of the kotatsu, exchanged a glance before looking away in tacit agreement.

"My name is Koizumi Mio, I am Hase Takuya's cousin, and I was also his former guardian."

In calm voices, Jia Yezi and Zhenzi called out softly in unison.

"Hello, Koizumi-nee..." *2

In response to the two women's request, Koizumi Mio nodded and then pulled a black talisman from inside her hunting robe and placed it on the kotatsu table.

"Put your finger on it."

Faced with Koizumi Mio's order, the two women exchanged a puzzled look, each taking a side and pressing their fingers on it.

Seeing the Heavenly Curse Scroll remain unresponsive, Mio Koizumi frowned slightly.

His spiritual energy spread out without reservation and entered the bodies of the two women.

Mako's psychic powers instinctively resisted, but then quietly released themselves.

After a thorough examination, Mio Koizumi found nothing unusual about Mako and Kayo.

Both women are human, but the girl named Mako has a stronger life force, while the one named Kayashiro is much weaker.

If there's anything unusual about this girl named Mako, it's that she's a user with considerable telekinetic abilities.

Moreover, they are quite powerful and can perceive their own spiritual senses.

But Takuya Hase wouldn't lie to himself about something like this, nor would he dare.

After all, if he lies, others can only criticize him, but I will really beat him up.

However, his panic and worry on the bus were genuine; there was something about these two girls that terrified him to the core.

As for why I haven't noticed it, it's probably because it hasn't manifested yet.

Judging from the two girls' behavior, they were probably unaware that something was wrong with them.

So here's the question: how did that little rascal notice that these two girls were acting strangely?

The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes, and the more I feel there are big problems behind it.

Koizumi Mio rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Ms. Koizumi, are you... feeling unwell...?"

Looking at the delicate-looking Kayoko beside her, Mio Koizumi pursed her lips.

"It's okay, I'm just under a lot of work pressure."

With a sigh of relief, Koizumi Mio, who was temporarily unable to sort out her thoughts, turned her gaze to the two women. No longer dwelling on the issues behind the two women, Koizumi Mio quickly noticed something different.

"Your name is Mako, right?"

"Um."

As Mako answered calmly, Mio Koizumi's inexplicably emotional voice reached her ears.

"Could you please wear a turtleneck sweater?"

Upon hearing this, Mako looked down at her own appearance and then at Koizumi Mio in the main seat.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't even bother with them. If you can't, that's your problem.

But this was Takuya's older sister. She blinked and immediately got up and went to her bedroom.
