"Yes! On our way!" Amamiya Kazuki quickly replied.
Qingkong didn't think much of it, but simply said, "Watsuki-chan, next time you can come back with us directly, right? You don't need to wait for the manager."
"It's alright, there are lights along the way," Amamiya Kazuki replied, then saw the Kote River.
He immediately became a little more reserved.
He ran into the living room with his schoolbag on his back.
She looked at him expectantly and said, "You're back!"
Her eyes were wide open, with tears welling up in the corners.
"Boss, what should we do about this? I can't keep up the act any longer..." Kotekawa understood her eyes, handed her a banana, and said gently, "Go change your clothes and wash up, it's time to eat."
"Yes..." The kitten took the banana and ran to its room.
The big white cat jumped onto the sofa and lay down on it, staring at him with its bright blue eyes.
He took out a demon energy pill, put it in her mouth, stood up to wash his hands, and prepared to eat dinner.
After a while, the four people and the cat gathered around the dining table. Yujia, who had worked hard all afternoon, was starving. While eating, she mumbled, "Qingkong, the dishes you cooked today taste a little different."
“It happens occasionally,” Qingkong replied quietly.
Kotegawa, who had also worked hard all afternoon, carried his sturdy porcelain bowl, with a thick layer of potatoes and beef on top of the rice. The meat juices seeped into the rice, making it more and more delicious with each bite.
Tonight's dinner only involved steaming the rice myself; the other dishes were all ordered from takeout.
After all, who has time to cook? It's good enough if we can steam a few pots of rice. Even meat can't shut Jia up.
The kitten beside her obediently lowered its head to eat. Cats have a very keen sense of smell, and she had smelled a strange odor as soon as she entered the house. That smell would appear in the house from time to time, and it seemed to be coming from Sister Qingkong's room, but today it seemed to be everywhere. However, as a cat about to start her job, she had her own professional ethics and knew that she could not casually inquire about her master's affairs. However, she had secretly told Xingzi that Xingzi could definitely smell it too, but Xingzi did not tell her at all and warned her that she must keep this matter to herself.
So what could she do besides pretend she didn't know? After all, she was only five years old and still "unemployed."
After a pleasant and harmonious dinner, Kotegawa and Haruka took care of washing the dishes, Yuka took a shower first, and the kitten took the big cat upstairs to take a shower.
As night deepened, around 10 p.m., after everyone had returned to their rooms, Kotegawa quietly went downstairs and entered Seikatsu's room.
Qingkong was folding bed sheets when he startled her. She lowered her voice and said, "Youjia might come looking for me. I have class tomorrow!"
“It’s not that…” Kotegawa took her hand and whispered, “Actually—”
Before he could finish speaking, the environment around him suddenly changed.
Suddenly, the clear sky blurred before my eyes, and looking at the surrounding twilight sky, I was startled.
A thin layer of snowflakes surrounded the area, which seemed beautiful, but could not conceal the terrifying scene outside.
"This is my private little storage." Kotegawa coughed and pointed to the corpses of monsters in the distance, saying, "Don't be afraid, those are just figurines."
Qingkong's eyes widened. It wasn't that she hadn't seen figurines before. When she went to Youjia's house before, she would always see Glasses-kun grinning foolishly at doll-like figures... But a figurine as big as a mountain was truly a first for her.
So my boyfriend has this kind of interest.
She tilted her head and glanced at her boyfriend: "Such a big figurine must be very expensive, right? You're not a child anymore, you can't just spend money recklessly like this."
谷讇
"I didn't spend any money; I found them all in the Ghost Country. There are figurines everywhere there... everywhere."
"Really?" Qingkong suddenly realized. She had never been to the Ghost Kingdom and didn't know much about what it was like there, but it seemed quite magical.
She put her hands behind her back and began to look around.
Kotegawa stayed right beside her, not in a hurry to say anything.
The gold piled on the ground, the tents, the frozen beef, the frozen vegetables, the pots and pans... As for Yosuke in the ice, he is far away from here in the domain, so we don't need to worry about him.
Looking back and forth in the clear sky, the blood-red sand spread out beneath her feet, forming a crimson road and coalescing into the shape of roses.
"Do you usually eat here?"
"We'll still take it out to eat, kind of like a picnic."
"That's good, at least they've been eating properly."
Qingkong walked for a while, then suddenly stopped, looked at him, pointed to a wooden house that looked like it had been taken from a Taiga drama, and asked in surprise, "Is this also a figurine?"
Kotekawa smiled and gently nudged her, saying softly, "Go in and take a look."
"Did you prepare a surprise?" Qingkong walked a few steps forward with her hands behind her back, but then suddenly turned to look at him, asking inquiringly, "Is there a bed inside? Is it made up?"
“There is a bed, but it’s definitely not that kind of thing…” Kotegawa, who was following behind, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
He had to use his inner energy to protect Qingkong before he went in, otherwise she would fall seriously ill in the dense yin energy environment.
"Is that so?" Qingkong smiled faintly, stepped over, and raised her hand to push the door, but after pushing hard a few times, the door did not budge an inch.
She turned her head and looked at him innocently.
Kotegawa slapped his forehead, quickly walked over, and pushed open the door.
Qingkong immediately looked into the room, but it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything at all.
"Whoosh..." Clusters of golden-red flames flew in, hovering around the room, instantly driving away the darkness inside.
Having already witnessed his miraculous clear skies, he wasn't surprised, but simply said, "Be careful, or I won't be able to compensate you if you accidentally burn the house down."
"Don't worry...come in quickly!" Kotegawa took her hand.
Qingkong stepped over the high wooden threshold and looked around the room with wide eyes... On the table in the left corner were a cutting board and a basin, with several bundles of firewood piled up next to them, and a few dirty dumplings on the ground... There was nothing special about it.
She shifted her gaze to the other side, first seeing a bed, then two figures lying quietly on it. She was startled at first, her first thought being, "Did my boyfriend kill someone?" But she immediately shook her head, banishing the terrible idea from her mind.
If he really killed someone, he wouldn't show it to me, nor would he give it to me as a surprise...
She pressed her hand to her chest and slowly walked towards that direction.
Kotegawa, who was standing beside him, gently waved his hand, and the flames maintained by his true energy slowly gathered over there, illuminating the area.
When Qingkong saw the face of the person lying on the bed, her eyes widened instantly, and she stood there dumbfounded.
Kotegawa grinned.
How about it? Happy now?
Qingkong turned her head and looked at him strangely: "You...you even had someone make figurines of my parents?"
Kotegawa's smile froze, and he murmured, "No, they are real."
"...Huh?"
"I found my uncle and aunt in the land of ghosts and brought them back."
"Huh?"
"I didn't wake up because I was injured before, and I'm recovering now. I couldn't wait to tell you, so I came back immediately."
"..."
Chapter 159 Kitamura Kenshin's Active Summoning
Inside the gloomy wooden house with bare walls, Mikazuki Seisakusaku sat on a square wooden stool, staring blankly at his parents lying on the bed, their eyes closed peacefully, without breathing or heartbeat.
No, it's the ghosts of my parents...
She clenched her fists, and scenes from that night four years ago surged up from the depths of her memory, like knives twisting violently in her heart.
The reason she hasn't burst into tears or gone mad with hatred, and can still sit here peacefully, is because her enemy died last year, and her boyfriend is standing right behind her.
She slowly relaxed her clenched fists, turned her body slightly to the side, buried her head in her boyfriend's stomach, and mumbled, "When will he wake up?"
Kotegawa gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I'm not quite sure either, but don't worry, the longer you sleep now, the better you'll recover."
"Hmm..." Qingkong still didn't look up, her voice slightly nasal: "You really found them."
Kotegawa looked down at her and chuckled softly, "It must be Qingkong's good luck that's been on my side."
"I'm just not lucky!"
When she was alone, she tried to hide her true feelings, muttering to herself, "I'm just a person who brings bad luck. If it weren't for me, Mom and Dad wouldn't be here..."
“Oh dear, that’s not right! The ones who should really be condemned are the bad guys.” Kotegawa mimicked her tone and said, “If anyone dares to blame this on you, I’ll twist their head off.”
"That's really scary!" Qingkong took a deep breath and rubbed her cheeks back and forth. "But I like it! I like you the most!"
"I'm really happy that Qingkong likes me so much." Kotegawa couldn't hide his smile.
The room was quiet.
Qingkong clutched his sleeve, glanced at her parents on the bed, stood up, and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Shall we go? Let them get some rest first..."
It's clear she hasn't fully processed the surprise yet.
Kotegawa gave a soft "hmm," and the surrounding scenery shattered instantly, returning the two to the bedroom.
Mikazuki stood there blankly, his eyes wide open, tears falling to the ground, gripping the hand he was holding tightly with Kotegawa's.
I feel so empty and sad inside.
Kotegawa pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair repeatedly, and said softly, "I won't go out for a while. I'll wait until your aunt and uncle wake up. It'll be alright, they'll be fine."
"Um……"
That night, Kotegawa held her quietly until he fell asleep, and when the next morning dawned, it felt like they had returned to the time when they had just gotten together.
The next day, before dawn, Qingkong suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Kotegawa, who was standing next to her, also opened his eyes and looked at her with concern: "Did you have a nightmare?"
Qingkong was stunned for three seconds, staring blankly at him, and murmured, "It must have been a good dream, right? I dreamt that you found my mom and dad, and even showed me a lot of figurines..."
Kotegawa chuckled, "Wake up, that's not a dream."
Qingkong's gaze gradually focused, and she regained her memories of last night. Her face flushed, but her eyes brightened noticeably, then curved into crescents as she smiled happily.
Kotegawa was taken aback.
His smile was full of vitality, with a bright, sunny hue... He had never seen such a smile on Qingkong's face before.
He laughed too, sharing in her joy.
