Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

At the foot of the mountain, Kayoko appeared with a smile on her face.

Recalling how Koizumi stood up for her at the coffee shop today and then arranged work for her, Jia Yezi couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Has Koizumi-san acknowledged me?

That's probably true. If she didn't like me, she definitely wouldn't help me, and she certainly wouldn't introduce me to a part-time job!

Recalling my visit to the upscale restaurant recommended by Sister Koizumi, I had barely begun to explain who had recommended me, and before I could even produce Sister Koizumi's business card to prove it, the manager had already politely led me inside.

For the first time, Jia Yezi truly felt the weight of the word "family".

Although I can't strictly consider myself Takuya and Koizumi's family yet, Kayako, this is a good start!

Koizumi accepted you, even though that slutty woman with a low-class figure was very attractive.

However, you were accepted by Koizumi before her, so you have an absolute advantage when it comes to starting a family!

Go, Jia Yezi! You'll definitely be able to stand proudly beside Takuya, living the life of a devoted wife and mother, just like in the novels!

As for that despicable woman, humph, let her eat her own leftovers!

At the top of the stairs, Xiao Hei looked at its owner, who was happily skipping and hopping up like a little girl playing hopscotch, and tilted its head slightly in confusion.

Jia Yezi noticed Xiao Hei who came to greet her, and immediately jumped happily in front of it and hugged it tightly.

"Little Black~"

Meow~

Listening to Xiao Hei's snoring, Jia Yezi happily carried Xiao Hei to the entrance of the shrine.

Seeing Takuya's shoes on the shoe rack, Jia Yezi hurriedly changed her shoes and ran towards the back hall.

"I'm back..."

Stepping into the living room, the scene of Takuya greeting me with a smile did not materialize.

The scene that appears is Takuya looking anxious and fearful at the doorway.

"Takuya, are you...are you alright?!"

Jia Yezi quickly released Xiao Hei, which landed on the floor with a thud. She then saw its owner anxiously go to the male owner's side.

"Takuya, you...you're injured?"

Looking at Kayoko's worried eyes, Hase Takuya forced a smile.

"I'm fine, it's just... Jia Yezi..."

"Takuya, you said I'd do anything for you."

"Could you go to your room and stay there for a while?"

"Huh?"

Jia Yezi blinked blankly, somewhat confused by Takuya's sudden instruction.

"Why, why..."

Subconsciously thinking that Takuya didn't want to see her, Jia Yezi's voice suddenly became low.

Seeing the disappointment in Jia Yezi's eyes, Hase Takuya knew that the girl was about to overthink again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

He instinctively straightened his back, his face displaying an expression of resignation to his fate.

Jia Yezi stared blankly at Takuya's current state, not having time to figure out what had happened, when she saw Mako walk out of her room.

With a puzzled look on Jia Yezi's face, she pointed to her own room.

The little black dog, who was squatting on the floor, seemed to have noticed something. It quickly got up, bit its owner's finger, and pulled her towards the bedroom.

Although Jia Yezi was puzzled, she watched as Takuya grew increasingly nervous as he approached, revealing an expression of a child who had made a mistake and was waiting to be punished.

Although she had never been disciplined by her parents, she had seen other children being disciplined by their parents.

So she understood what was going on and immediately got up and walked towards the bedroom.

Deep down, she also wanted to experience what it felt like to be disciplined by an adult...

But she knew that boys didn't want girls to see them make a fool of themselves, so Jia Yezi blinked, picked up Xiao Hei and went to the bedroom quietly, closing the door silently, as Mako urged her to hurry.

At the living room doorway, as the footsteps drew closer, Takuya Hase grew increasingly nervous.

Sunlight fell on the person at the door, casting large shadows on the floor.

Looking at Koizumi Mio's expressionless face and the red bamboo in her hand, Hase Takuya's eyelids twitched.

"Big sister, I was wrong!!"

In Kayano and Mako's bedroom, the two women, sitting on the floor with their ears pressed against the door, listened to Hase Takuya's loud apology. Kayano looked at the equally puzzled Kuro with a blank expression, while Mako shrank back in fear.

call out!

Snapped!

"Aww!!"

call out!

Snapped!

"No, I was wrong, sis, I'll do it next time..."

call out!

Snapped!

"Aww!!"

The sound of something cutting through the air could be faintly heard even through the door, and Takuya Hase's screams echoed throughout the room.

After slapping Hase Takuya a few times, Koizumi Mio, whose anger had subsided slightly, glanced at the two women's bedroom, raised her finger at him with an unfriendly look, and then suddenly swung it towards the right-hand temple. Hase Takuya hurriedly rubbed his calf and ran over, grimacing.

Shortly after the two left, the temple doors slammed shut, and only then did the two women dare to quietly slip out of the room.

Upon entering the living room, Mako and Yoshiko exchanged a glance.

Unbeknownst to them, the two women's positions within the family were still unclear, but they clearly sensed Koizumi Mio's place in the household...

"What if I hurt Takuya...?"

As Jia Yezi peered through the opening in the door frame, not far from her, Mako, peering over her head, calmly spoke to the temple.

"You're going to try and persuade them?"

"..."

After hesitating for a long time, Jia Yezi shook her head quickly in fear.

Koizumi-nee is Takuya's older sister. It's understandable that an older sister would hit her younger brother...

According to tradition, with parents absent, the eldest sister is like a mother. Now that Xiaoquan has finally acknowledged her position, she can't leave Xiaoquan with the impression of being impolite and disrespectful...

"Oh no!! I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll definitely report it to you next time!!"

Snapped!

Hearing Takuya Hase's screams, the two women and the cat shrank back and then obediently returned to their respective bedrooms.

Inside the temple, Koizumi Mio looked at the broken red bamboo in her hand and casually tossed it aside.

"Get over here!"

Amidst the scolding, Hase Takuya, who had been huddled in the corner, obediently went to kneel down next to Koizumi Mio.

Looking at the bruises she had drawn herself, Mio Koizumi felt a pang of heartache in her eyes.

"Let's see if you do it again next time..."

Before she could finish speaking, Koizumi Mio's eyes narrowed suddenly as she watched the rapidly disappearing marks on Hase Takuya's body.

"Oh..."

With a cold laugh, Mio Koizumi grabbed Takuya Hase's ear, squatted down in front of him, and said in a menacing tone.

"You'd better explain everything that's happened to you recently to me. With your recovery ability so strong right now, I don't mind going to the back mountain to dig up some more bamboo and treating you to bamboo stir-fried with meat..."

Hearing Koizumi Mio's gritted teeth, Hase Takuya knew that some things could no longer be kept secret.

Although I don't know how she found out, looking at her malicious eyes and considering my current physical recovery ability...

Once Koizumi Mio, in a fit of anger, is certain she won't break down from smoking, she'll definitely indulge herself to the fullest...

After much deliberation, Takuya Hase decided to be honest and tell the truth, only revealing half of what had happened.
