"That's weird. My sister is obviously working as a waitress here."

"As a result, I found this small door and sneaked in to take a look."

"Sister Qianyu, have you seen my sister?"

The skinny little girl ran over with her short legs.

Fujimura Chiba explained to Uesugi Kiyoshi in a low voice.

"Sir, she is Shiina Himawari, the younger sister of one of my seniors. That senior is also a waiter here. She took good care of me when I first came here."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was a little strange. He clenched his fists and asked in a serious tone, "What's her sister's name?"

Fujimura Chiha blinked in confusion, as if she didn't understand why Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone suddenly became so serious, but she still answered truthfully.

"Kikyo--Her name is Shiina Kikyo."

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed.

"So, your name is Kikyo."

While they were talking, the little girl had already run up to them.

Before she had the chance to talk to Fujimura Chiba, she saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.

The little girl covered her mouth and let out a short cry, then her face was full of surprise.

"Uesugi-nii-san!"

"How will you be here."

"Sunflower misses you so much~"

Shiina Himawari stumbled over and hugged Uesugi Kiyoshi's thighs. She looked to be about ten years old, so this action did not seem out of place for her.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled complicatedly and touched Sunflower's little head.

"Yeah, Sunflower, long time no see."

Uesugi Kiyoshi had seen Himawari, or to be more precise, he had seen the Shiina sisters.

His relationship with them is that of neighbors.

Kiyoshi Uesugi once told Maki Toufumi the story of him and a young lady who worked in a brothel.

The protagonists of the story are a pair of sisters who live in Arakawa District and are his neighbors.

The younger sister among them is the sunflower in front of us.

Himawari's sister is busy working various part-time jobs every day to repay the debts left by her parents, and is often not at home. When Uesugi Kiyoshi returns home, he sometimes sees Himawari waiting alone for her sister to get off work.

Places like Arakawa District where all kinds of people gather are not very safe. Uesugi Kiyoshi often feels compassion. He would find something to do at the door, look at Sunflower, and chat with her. He would not go home until her sister came home.

Compared to Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi is more familiar with Himawari.

Before today, he didn't even know that the beautiful woman with a gentle face but bent under the burden of life, with a dusty face but still undiminished temperament, was called "Platophore".

They didn't even exchange a few words.

Even after that accidental heroic rescue, the sisters moved away in a hurry without even saying goodbye, and have lost contact since then. It has been a long time since then.

It was so long that they almost disappeared from Uesugi Kiyoshi's memory.

Waking up from his memories, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression suddenly changed.

Fujimura Chiba vaguely mentioned that she seemed to have been sold to this store by her unscrupulous mother and dedicated to a monk.

So, this is not the first time that this store has done this.

They seem to have a special liking for young and beautiful girls.

Sunflower said her sister didn't come home after get off work.

She won't be in danger!

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a pretty good impression of Shiina Kikyo.

This has nothing to do with occupation, appearance, or temperament.

He simply felt that it was awe-inspiring that a girl who was only twenty years old, who was burdened with debts that were enough to crush an adult and had to raise a younger sister who had just started elementary school, could survive with such difficulty.

For example, didn’t Fujimura Chiba’s useless father choose to commit suicide?

Shiina Kikyo's situation is much more serious than that coward's.

But she chose to live strong for her sister.

This choice can gain the respect of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Such a person should not suffer such misfortune.

So, when some thugs assaulted Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi took action even though he couldn't stand it, but he was not afraid of causing trouble.

So, now Uesugi Kiyoshi is a little anxious.

Ever since his memories of his past life came back, he felt extremely unwilling to not be able to protect the people around him.

He had lost too much.

Uesugi Kiyoshi no longer hesitated. He took a step forward and moved as fast as a ghost.

The group of people behind him were left behind by him.

With his speed, even the longest passage can be passed in an instant.

A few seconds later, the iron door at the end of the passage was kicked open by him.

The smell of blood that hit his nose made his bad premonition even stronger.

Behind the door is a hall with a traditional Japanese tatami design and many futons placed on the floor.

The smell of the aphrodisiac became extremely strong.

What you see is naked bodies entangled together, and you turn a deaf ear to anyone intruding.

Uesugi took a quick look and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't see the familiar face.

But when he looked sideways, his expression froze.

In the corner of the wall, there was a dying figure.

The ordinary face hidden by the blood-stained hair slowly overlapped with the charming face in his mind.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt like his breathing was about to stop.

After all, it's one step too late?

If I hadn't delayed, could I have saved her?

Useless thoughts of self-blame surged into his mind, but he forced them down.

He approached the corner step by step and slowly bent down.

Shiina Kikyo was wearing a waiter's outfit that was somewhat revealing, but not too excessive. Her long hair was disheveled and half of her head was stained with blood, probably from the impact of a heavy object.

There was a knife wound on her lower abdomen, and blood had gathered in a pool under her body. The dagger that served as the murder weapon was still stuck in her lower abdomen, but she was holding it in her own hand.

This look seems like suicide.

"Did you commit suicide because you didn't want to be insulted?"

"So that's why you were thrown into this corner?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips and reached out to lift Shiina Kikyo's hair aside.

Although the chest of the person in front of him was still rising and falling slightly, Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly sense that she was breathing in more and exhaling less.

He can't be saved. With such injuries, he is just a mortal. Even with the association's means, he can't be saved.

Perhaps sensing someone approaching, Shiina Kikyo's eyes opened a little.

Then, she opened her mouth with difficulty, raised her hand, and made an inaudible sound.

"Is it Uesugi-kun?"

"Am I already dead? I'm actually hallucinating?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had just called upon the power of the gods to possess him today, and he was already a little uneasy. The unpleasant fragrance and seeing such a scene made him upset and not as calm as usual.

He held Shiina Kikyo's hand and slowly sent a trace of mirage energy over to her.

This did not help her injuries, but at least it gave her more strength to speak.

Shiina Kikyo's body was nourished by the mirage and indeed felt a little better.

Her voice got a little louder.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head, his voice terribly low.

"No, I'm not hallucinating. It's just a coincidence that I'm here - I'm sorry I'm late."

He didn't even know what to say.

What good can you say to a dying man?

Even though Shiina Kikyo's face was covered in blood, you could still see her previous charm. She was definitely a real beauty.

She took a few weak breaths, and it was unclear whether she understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi said.

"Isn't this an illusion? It seems that God has been very kind to me, allowing me to see Uesugi-kun before I die."

Uesugi Kiyoshi remained silent and said nothing.

Shiina Kikyo seemed to have opened up and her tone became much more rapid.

"Oh, sunflowers, sunflowers!"

"What should I do with Sunflower?"

"Uesugi-kun, I know it's a bit rude to say this, but could you please help me take care of Sunflower?"

"If I die, what will she do?"

The dying sister kept thinking of her younger sister's name until her death.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
