Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

In the bathroom, Takuya Hase looked at Kayoko, who spoke those words in a barely audible, shy voice, and then at Mako, who had left sometime earlier. His feelings were somewhat subtle and complicated.

A man's instincts and reason began to clash, as if an angel and a demon were fighting wildly in his head.

The demon floated down and looked shyly at the ground after speaking, her fingers nervously twisting into a ball in front of her crotch. She then spread her hands out towards her and shouted loudly to Takuya Hase.

"Look at this girl, look at her gentle nature, and think back to that glimpse of springtime beauty I caught that day!"

The demon, poking his own forehead, approached Takuya Hase and said in a tone of disappointment at his lack of ambition.

"Her breasts and buttocks aren't as shapely as Mako's, but she's weak-willed and obedient to you."

"Girls like this are incredibly rare, you couldn't find one even with a lantern. Forget about the major express delivery companies, you could practically feed her and have her sleep with you...!"

Before he could finish speaking, the demon was cleaved in two by the angel's sword.

"You wretched child, is that even human language? Her life is already so tragic, unloved by her parents, how dare you bully her?!"

"Besides, she's involved with Ju-on. Aren't you afraid she'll lose control one day and leave you wishing you were dead?!"

"Even the most gentle woman is still a woman, and she can be jealous. 'The red flag at home must stay flying high'—does Mako look like a red flag at home?!"

"When she goes berserk, she'll kick out this flag in the house, along with all of you!"

The demon, now reformed, lunged at the angel wielding a trident.

"You heretic who defies male instincts, die!!"

Amidst the struggle between angels and demons, Jia Yezi secretly glanced at the silent Hase Takuya.

The shyness and anticipation in my heart gradually disappeared, and my emotions began to fall into the abyss until darkness emerged from the depths of my eyes.

"Oh, I see. Yes, I'm sorry, Hase-kun, it was... I was overthinking it..."

A heartbreakingly fake smile appeared on Jia Yezi's face. Before Hase Takuya could even speak, the angel and the devil suddenly joined forces and poked his cheeks from both sides.

"Make her happy!!!"

Takuya Hase pulled back Jia Yezi, who was about to turn around, and spoke softly to the self-conscious girl with her back to him.

"Jia Yezi, I..."

Licking his lips, and seeing the self-conscious girl raise her right hand to wipe away her tears, Takuya Hase gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled her around, and hugged her tightly.

"It's not that I don't like you, I just... don't know if I should do this..."

With a complex tone, Takuya Hase glanced at the self-conscious girl in his arms and took a deep breath.

"I am a man, a normal man, and naturally I have the desires and thoughts that men should have."

"Of course I've dreamed of a life with two women on either side, but..."

"This kind of thinking is so unfair to you, especially to you..."

"Because of the long-term indifference and isolation from those around you, you have developed a weak and self-conscious personality."

"I know very well that girls with your personality are prone to being submissive in certain ways."

"If I wanted to, I could do some really outrageous things to you, and you wouldn't resist..."

"You can remember even the smallest kindness from others for a very long time, but that's why I'm even less willing to do that."

"Because this will gradually erode your true nature, turning you into a doll who only knows how to be 'sensible and obedient'."

After pausing for a moment, feeling the dampness on his shoulder, Hase Takuya pursed his lips.

"The day I gave you the gift, I felt sad seeing you crying."

"Because I know you must have thought of something."

"I do have feelings for you... well, I do. After all, how can a healthy man be completely unresponsive to a beautiful woman he shares a room with?"

"But, I just don't know if I can handle our relationship well and steer it in a healthy direction."

"And for certain reasons, I don't know if I can take good care of you and Mako..."

As Takuya Hase spoke with mixed emotions, the girl in his arms gradually calmed down, and her call came through with a thick nasal tone.

"Taku, Takuya..."

"I..."

"I...I'll be very good..."

"Please, please don't send me away..."

"As long as you leave me a room, I won't come out and get in the way when you don't need it..."

"Please, don't send me away..."

"I... I don't want your compensation..."

"Please, please don't stay silent..."

"I'm scared, I'm so scared... I'm so scared you won't want me anymore..."

"I... oh, I do have a job, I, I'll be useful..."

"Takuya... hiss... I... I have no home anymore..."

"Just half a month... just half a month..."

"Inside, it's full of junk..."

"I don't know... I don't know, am I really their... ah, their daughter..."

"The old refrigerator from when I was in elementary school is still here..."

"But... my room... ouch, it's gone..."

"Takuya, this is all I have left... Please, please don't send me away..."

"I have nowhere else to go, Takuya... I have nowhere else to go but here..."

Amidst the mournful voice, Jia Yezi looked up blankly, her eyes pleading and humble as she forced a smile at Hase Takuya.

"Takuya, I can do anything. I... I'll learn. You can treat me like a pet, a dog. Yes, I... I want you to be my dog~"

"As long as, as long as it's you, Takuya..."

His humble plea was swallowed back down, and Hase Takuya frowned as he forcefully kissed the girl in his arms.

The panel kept popping up frantically, but he chose to ignore it; he had no interest in dealing with it now.

He only felt heartache now, heartache for the girl's humility, heartache for her "sensible" nature.

He kissed her forcefully and passionately, just like the sadness welling up from the bottom of his heart at that moment.

It wasn't until the girl in his arms let out a painful groan that Takuya Hase snapped back to reality and loosened his arms that were tightly holding her.

"Jia Yezi, I'm sorry, I..."

In his anxious explanation, the girl gently shook her head and wiped away her tears, her lips curving into a happy smile as she acknowledged his love.

"Takuya, I... I'm fine..."

As soon as she finished speaking, as if to prove something, or perhaps out of greed, the girl tiptoed up and kissed him again.

It started with a tentative approach, then progressed to slightly raising one's head to check the emotions in the eyes of the person in front of them, and finally to a completely open and demanding request.

It was less like he was kissing her and more like she was begging him.

Like a dodder vine, it entwined her tighter and tighter until she noticed his unusual behavior. She gasped for breath, loosened her arms from his neck, looked at him with tender eyes, and obediently squatted down again.

In Mako's bedroom, sensing everything that was happening in the bathroom, she glanced at the darkness surging towards her on the floor, yet unable to get close, and now beginning to fade away.

The immense psychic power that had enveloped the entire shrine and caused space to distort began to dissipate.

The door was pushed open silently, and Mako gently placed her hand on the little black dog's belly as it walked in and lay down in front of her, its belly exposed.

Even though Mako's fingers pressed against him and hurt a little while he was vigorously rubbing, Kuro only gently lifted his white glove and pressed it against him, giving him a light and weak push.

"You are smarter than your master."
