Kotegawa was also a little puzzled and asked, "This has nothing to do with you, does it?"
The girl's face stiffened slightly, and she said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I was just asking..." Perhaps feeling embarrassed, she quickly changed the subject, pointing to the little boy next to her and saying, "This is my younger brother. Today, I brought him to see the tower on behalf of my parents."
The little boy had round eyes and was looking up at Chihaya with envy.
He also longed for his sister to hold him like this, but his sister couldn't lift him, and she was quite chubby in the front. If she really picked him up like this, he probably wouldn't be able to sit still.
Kotegawa didn't dislike children, so he nodded and greeted them, "Hello, little friend."
Sitting in his lap, Chihaya glanced down at the little boy, then looked at his older sister.
Seeing this, the girl felt that Kotegawa didn't seem like a difficult person to get along with, and she was immediately delighted. She said with a little shyness, "I'm a first-year student at Waseda University's main campus. My name is Amano Akiko, and I'm majoring in Supernatural Defense... Um, are you also a university student?"
She originally wanted to mention that she was "single," but then she thought that since it was their first meeting, she shouldn't be too eager, or she might scare the other person away.
Kotegawa Kami looked at her strangely: "No, I'm a first-year high school student now."
What does this older sister want to do?
He turned around and walked forward; the people in front of him had already entered the elevator.
"Huh? First year of high school?" Amano Akiko was dumbfounded. She only realized what was happening when Kotegawa was about to enter the elevator. She quickly grabbed her younger brother and rushed forward. Under the strange gazes of a group of people, she squeezed in with a red face.
The elevator doors closed and began to slowly ascend.
Kotegawa, holding Chihaya, moved further inside, wanting to get away from this strange older sister.
Akiko Amano had her back to Kotegawa, her heart pounding. She felt ashamed and regretted squeezing in. A freshman trying to chat up a high school freshman... Ah, if her best friend found out, she'd be laughed at for half a year.
but……
She secretly turned her head and stole a glance at Kotegawa's profile, her heart pounding wildly again.
But he's so handsome!
If only I had been born three years later!
But that's okay, they're only three years older at most...
Thinking about it, a few drops of saliva appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Xiao Jian, are we being harassed by some strange people?" Xiao Qian asked, covering her mouth and trembling with fear.
Kotegawa replied softly, "It's nothing, I just happened to be on an elevator, you won't see me for a bit."
When the elevator reached the first observation deck, people began to file out. Amano Akiko, who was near the elevator entrance, subconsciously took her younger brother off the elevator and then turned back to look for Kotegawa, but only saw the closed elevator doors and Kotegawa Kami still inside.
The elevator continued upwards, carrying Kotegawa and Chihaya.
"Let's start from the second observation deck, then come down to the first one later and grab something to eat." Kotekawa put Chihaya down.
Chizuru straightened her clothes, her eyes filled with anticipation. Holding Kotegawa's hand, she muttered, "The Skytree is amazing! Chika will definitely regret this!"
"It's alright, there will be other opportunities in the future," Kotegawa said with a smile.
He had heard Chika mention this before. When she came to Tokyo, Aunt Akiba invited Chika to come and visit, but Chika politely declined and stayed home to read and fish.
That girl really loves fishing, but she doesn't like eating the fish. Unless necessary, she usually only keeps two or three fish and puts the rest back into the river... to fish again next time.
Upon hearing this, Chizuru suddenly turned to look at him and asked, "Chizuru, do you...do you want to bring Chika here to play?"
"Maybe when there's an opportunity," Kotegawa replied casually. Although the chances of such an opportunity were slim, he would definitely host Chika if she ever came to Tokyo.
"Oh, then I'll go back and talk to her about it," Xiaoqian said thoughtfully.
Kotegawa didn't think much of it. After the elevator doors opened, he took Chihaya out and stood in the corridor.
The sky outside the glass window is vast and high, the buildings on the ground are as small as building blocks, and the cars are like ants.
"Wow!"
Xiaoqian was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
The Kote River also gives one a sense of tranquility and peace; the unique quietness at such a high altitude is something that is rarely experienced.
The Tokyo Skytree doesn't start selling tickets until 10 AM. He and Chizuru weren't the first to arrive, but they were still near the front of the line. The older sister who had come up with them was still there. According to the normal procedure, he and Chizuru should also go first...
Chihiro wanted to get closer to the glass, but her hands trembled slightly with fear.
It was too high. She was terrified that the glass would suddenly break or the floor beneath her feet would collapse, causing her to fall straight down.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her face paled slightly as she said, "Xiao Jian, you have to hold on to me tightly... Or should we go down?"
Kotegawa, who was about to take a picture of her, put away his phone upon hearing this, pulled her along, and pressed the elevator button: "Okay, let's go down."
After a while, after reaching the first observation deck, instead of rushing to admire the scenery, we went to the restaurant first, ordered some food, and let Chichi calm down.
Xiaoqian's face regained color.
He asked with concern, "Is it a fear of heights?"
"Afraid of heights?" Xiaoqian tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said nothing.
She also watches the morning weather forecast.
"Huh? You're already down?" A surprised voice suddenly rang out from the side.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw that in the seat behind them, Amano Akiko, whom they had just met, was holding two hamburgers and looking at them with great surprise.
Xiaoqian opened her mouth immediately.
You should pray to the gods before going out today!
Chapter 128 The Amamiya Family's Mischievous Child (Part 1)
Upon hearing Amano Akiko's voice, Kotegawa frowned slightly: "If there's nothing else, please take your younger brother out to play more, Miss Amano!"
Akiko Amano's face flushed with embarrassment. She said awkwardly, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself just now, I'm sorry..."
She turned around and went back to her seat, deliberately turning her back to us.
Chihiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the little dessert into her mouth.
After chewing twenty times, she swallowed it in one gulp, took a sip of water to push it down, and stood up quietly, saying, "Let's take some photos and then go back?"
"It's okay, go ahead and have fun."
He had spoken a bit harshly just now, but if Amano Akiko doesn't know what's good for her, then he'll teach her a lesson.
“It’s not because of that…” Chizuru pointed to the clock on the wall: “It’s time to go back for lunch.”
The clock on the wall showed 11:00 AM.
Kotegawa thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll go back when they call us."
"It should be soon, let's hurry!" The two walked and stopped, taking in the sights along the way.
"Xiao Jian, have you been here before?"
"No."
"Huh? It's so close?"
"Yes, I'll come again sometime."
During this time, he was busy searching for monsters to improve himself. He spent half of his free time practicing martial arts and the other half on daily life, leaving him no extra time to go out for a walk.
Not only him, but also Hu Tao, Hua Wu, and Qing Kong are all like this.
Hu Tao was given a whole bunch of tasks by her master, which were euphemistically called "training" tasks, and she wasn't allowed to ask anyone for help.
Although Hana-mae experienced the exposure of her identity and was targeted by several agencies using both honorable and dishonest means (after two agencies were ruthlessly wiped out, the mess finally stopped), it didn't affect her much. Instead, she devoted more time to her studies and music.
Every afternoon, she would first catch up on math, then practice the piano, and then compose music and write lyrics. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to tidy up the house.
Although Qingkong doesn't practice martial arts or understand music, she spends half of her free time working and the other half studying. She never intends to rely entirely on Kotekawa. For her, the scholarship for being first in her grade is still the main source of her income and her livelihood.
From the observation deck, Kotegawa looked down at Tokyo. In his view, the once empty blue sky was now filled with all sorts of lights shooting into the sky, some blazing, some dim, some crimson, and some pitch black.
The sky is like this, and so is the ground, especially in places where there are shrines and temples.
"With my current strength, if I find Tiandu Temple, I might be able to get in..." He held his phone and chased after Chizuru, taking pictures.
Half an hour later, he received a call from Aunt Qiuye, and then took Xiaoqian, who hadn't had enough fun yet, down from the Tokyo Skytree.
Before leaving, he saw Akiko Amano taking a photo with her younger brother on the other side.
Chizuru flipped through the photos she had just taken on her phone; every single one was so cute.
"Xiao Jian, do you have a photo printing shop? I want to take some photos back with me."
Kotegawa looked around and said with a smile, "There are some by the roadside. We'll come back this afternoon."
There's a large shopping street at the foot of the Tokyo Skytree; you can come and explore after lunch.
"Mmm!" She nodded happily. Xiao Jian had other things to do in the afternoon, so she didn't go along.
Kotegawa took her home first, and after parking the car, they went together to the wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop in the shopping district, entering through a side door next to the shop.
Yujia and Qingkong haven't arrived yet, but Qingkong said that the shop mainly sells bento boxes at noon, so they don't need many people. She and Yujia can come and eat.
Upon entering, Kotegawa immediately noticed a huge ball of fur lying in the living room, almost as tall as the table.
"Parrot Bro?" he said thoughtfully, "You should be able to stew a pot of it by now, right?"
The spherical parrot, which was pretending to be dead, trembled and swayed back and forth a few times before rolling with some difficulty in front of Kotegawa, revealing its somewhat distorted bird face with a very human-like fawning smile: "Great, great human! I am your forever loyal subordinate!"
Ever since it learned last night that Kotegawa was coming, it had been thinking about whether it should leave its good friend's house and find a place to hide. In the dead of night, it stood on the windowsill, flapping its wings hard, but its body was only a few centimeters off the ground.
A few seconds later, it landed again, panting heavily, and sighed deeply at the starry sky, its eyes filled with melancholy.
I can't fly anymore, I can't fly anymore, and I can't sleep on the wall anymore either. Life is so unpredictable! Life is so unpredictable!
……
Kotegawa glanced at it, looked around, and heard voices coming from the kitchen. He asked, "How did Uncle Kima introduce you?"
"There are also many peaceful monsters in the human world..." Parrot's voice was cautious.
Kotegawa nodded slightly. That's true. There's still a big tortoise back home, and Uncle Kenji has seen it before. So seeing a bird now doesn't seem like anything special.
He pulled up Chihaya, who was hiding behind him in fear, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiaojian, what's that?" Xiaoqian asked quietly.
