With white hair and red eyes, her features gradually became more childlike, her face had a bit of baby fat, and she had shrunk considerably. In the blink of an eye, she had become a six or seven-year-old girl.
The clothes were a bit too big, and the sleeves were long enough to cover the hands.
Sanemi crouched down, looking at the tiny Yayoi in front of her, her heart melting completely.
His mind began to wander uncontrollably, imagining how happy he and Yayoi would be if there were no more demons, and they had a beautiful daughter like her, a little bad-tempered but easily moved to tears...
Just thinking about it warms my heart.
Yayoi, with her short legs, trotted over to the box, lifted the lid, and climbed inside.
She climbed in and sat down, then looked up to see Sanemi still squatting there, his hands supporting his chin, looking at her with a look of rapture.
Mi was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
Peeking out, he bared his neck and yelled fiercely at Sanemi:
"What are you looking at! Don't make me slap you!"
"Get over here and carry the boxes!"
The childish threat, coupled with that chubby little face, had no intimidating power whatsoever; instead, it made him even cuter.
Sanemi chuckled softly, stood up, and walked over.
"They're here, they're here."
Chapter 214 If Yayoi-neechan doesn't want you, then you'll be kicked out of the family, big brother!
It wasn't close from the Wind Pillar's residence to the Shinazugawa family in Kyobashi Ward, and it was already evening when they arrived.
Sanemi freed one hand and rang the doorbell.
"They're here, they're here."
A clear, crisp voice came from inside, followed by the door being pulled open.
Upon seeing that the person standing outside the door was Sanemi, Sumi was clearly taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise: "Eh? Big brother? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"Big brother's back?!" came Sadako's voice from inside the house.
Sadako, no longer able to continue training the tiger, ran over in her wooden clogs, clung to Sumi's shoulder, and peered out. Looking left and right, she didn't see that familiar figure, and her face immediately fell.
"What? Only my eldest brother came back?"
He turned and walked back, muttering to himself, "Yayoi-neechan didn't come back last time. Does she not want you anymore, big brother? Otherwise, why is she never here when I come back?"
Sanemi smiled helplessly, raised his hand and patted Sadako's head, "What? Is Sadako going to kick her older brother out of the house because your sister Yayoi isn't coming?"
"I have that idea." Sadako pushed his hand away, puffed up her cheeks, and looked up at him angrily, like a sulking kitten.
Sanemi was even more helpless. He took a few steps into the house, patted the wooden box behind him, and said with a helpless smile:
"Yayoi, you heard that too? If you don't come out soon, I'm really going to be kicked out of the house."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from inside the box.
The next second, the lid of the box was lifted.
Yayoi crawled out of the box and emerged as an adult.
"Yayoi-neechan!"
Sadako's eyes lit up instantly. She cheered, rushed over, hugged Yayoi's waist, and buried her face in Yayoi's clothes.
Yayoi reached out and supported the little girl's back, then looked up at Sanemi, silently asking, "Is this your sister?"
Sanemi nodded, walked over and gently patted Sadako's back: "Sadako, stop bothering your Yayoi sister, let her rest for a while."
"Shoumei, where's Mom?"
"Mom is mending clothes in her room upstairs. I'll go call her down!"
Sumi glanced at Yayoi a few more times, feeling that something about Yayoi seemed a little different today.
Without asking any further questions, he simply responded and hurriedly ran upstairs.
When Tiger saw Yayoi, his eyes lit up, and he tried to squeeze past Sadako and into Yayoi's arms.
"Get away from me, Tiger!" Sadako pushed him aside, her brows furrowed. "You're so old already, why are you still clinging to Yayoi-neechan? Boys need to be more independent, you know!"
"But, Sadako-neechan, you're older than me, so why can you keep hugging Yayoi-neechan like that?"
Hu Dou pouted, his eyes were red-rimmed, and he looked like he was about to cry, appearing extremely aggrieved.
"Cry! If you dare to cry today, I'll beat you up!"
Sadako brandished her fist at the tiger, looking fierce.
Sanemi looked at his younger sister's aggressive and menacing appearance and covered his forehead in exasperation.
I really don't know who he takes after in terms of personality.
Hu Dou was startled by her and forced back his tears and snot, covering his mouth tightly with his hands, afraid that he would cry out and get a scolding from his second sister.
“Men and women shouldn’t touch each other, so you can’t cling to Yayoi-neechan and ask for a hug.” Sadako tilted her chin up and said seriously, “But I’m a girl, so I can, understand?”
Yayoi listened for a long time with her arms crossed, and finally figured out the identities of these children.
He reached out and grabbed Sadako, lifting her high into the air with ease. The little girl gasped in surprise, then giggled.
Yayoi sized her up for a while, then turned to look at Sanemi, who was squatting down to comfort Koto: "Sadako and you look quite alike."
"She's my sister, isn't it normal for her to look like me?" Sanemi rubbed Koto's little head, then looked up and smiled when she heard this.
"Kusumi is nothing like you; she's prettier."
"Yayoi-neechan, are you saying I'm as ugly as my older brother?"
Sadako understood the unspoken meaning. Her smiling face suddenly fell, her eyebrows drooped, and she looked a little sad.
"No." Yayoi put Sadako down and reached out to pinch her little cheek.
"You and your older brother are like kittens, very cute."
She never lies or tries to deceive people; she only tells the truth.
With its slightly upturned eyes, small face, pouty mouth, and arrogant temperament, what else could it be but a cat?
"And what about me? And what about me?"
Tiger quickly crawled out from under Sanemi's grasp and tilted his little face up to Yayoi.
"You look like dog shit, okay?" Sadako retorted irritably.
The siblings have had a grudge for a long time.
Since Zhijin returned, Hudou, taking advantage of being the youngest, has been clinging to his mother every day to compete for her affection. The two siblings have a small argument every three days and a big fight every five days, and fighting is a daily occurrence.
"Sadako, how can a girl speak so rudely?" Sanemi frowned and lectured her in a deep voice.
An angry Sanemi was still quite intimidating. Sadako pouted and quickly hid behind Yayoi, only peeking out to glare at him.
"Any objections?"
Yayoi shielded Sadako behind her, then looked up at Sanemi, who was squatting on the ground, her expression unfriendly. "Or are you saying, Sanemi Shinazugawa, that it's a bad thing that Sadako's personality is like mine?"
"No, no, I didn't..."
Sanemi immediately chickened out, unable to utter a word.
Tiger was also afraid of being "implicated" by his elder brother, so he quickly moved two steps to the side and distanced himself from Sanemi: "Sister Yayoi, I am not familiar with my elder brother."
"You and I are the best of friends in the world."
"You heartless little devil." Sanemi laughed in exasperation, reaching out to poke his forehead. "I was just thinking of comforting you after you got scolded by Sadako, but you turned around and sold me out."
Just as the group was making a ruckus, footsteps came from the stairs.
Shoumei helped Shijin down from upstairs.
Shizu was wearing a pale yellow kimono, her hair was neatly tied up, and her eyes were gentle. When she reached the top of the stairs and saw Yayoi standing in the room, she paused for a moment.
"Mom?" Yayoi blurted out almost immediately.
Shizu walked over quickly.
He walked up to Yayoi and gently took her hand in his.
"Long time no see. Sanemi told me you've been very busy lately. How are things? Have you finished everything?"
"Did you eat well and rest well?"
"You've all lost weight, your chin is so sharp now."
Shizu kept asking questions, his tone full of unconcealed heartache. He pulled Yayoi to the sofa, made her sit down, and looked her up and down.
As he watched, Shizu's gaze changed, and his voice trembled slightly:
"Yayoi, you...you've become a demon too?"
There was no disgust or fear in his eyes, only deep tenderness.
Yayoi felt a slight tingling in her nose, lowered her head, and softly hummed in agreement.
She doesn't remember Zhijin, she doesn't remember anything from before.
Being looked at and cared for so tenderly, even without memory, would warm one's heart and bring tears to one's eyes.
"It must have been very tiring, right?" Shizu gently stroked her hair.
"Fortunately."
"Does it hurt?"
"Fortunately."
Shizu sighed deeply, his eyes welling up with tears.
“Poor child, tell me how much suffering you have endured along the way.”
Chapter 215 Promise me you'll take good care of Mom
Shizu never dwells on how amazing Yayoi was when she was at her peak.
