You say this is a love game?

She can control whether she is invisible or not. When she is invisible, she disappears without a trace, and when she appears, she can still be observed by humans.

How could a mere ghost be able to scam a noble elf?

The moment Satori Yoshiko appeared, she was hugged tightly by Satori Harukako, followed by Satori Yasuhiko who held his wife and daughter in his arms. Until this moment, the family was finally reunited.

Makoto Mizutani is right, this is Satori Yoshiko's home.

This unfortunate child is far from old enough to leave his parents and live independently.

Late at night.

Yoshiko Satori lay on the head of the bed, listening to her mother telling stories.

She finally understood where the loving feeling she had when she watched Mizutani Makoto fall asleep came from.

When she was very young, before her mother was hospitalized, she would lie in her mother's arms, listening to her mother telling various fairy tales until she fell asleep.

She is very lucky.

Despite her unfortunate experience, she was able to become her parents' child. They loved her so much that this love could offset all the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Even though they knew she was dead, they were not afraid of ghosts. Instead, they asked her nervously if she could stay. No matter what the cost, they wanted to live with their daughter.

Yoshiko Satori also wants to live with her parents.

but.

Immersed in her mother's arms, listening to her mother's gradually steady breathing, she had a different idea.

The story of Yoshiko Satori, a "human being", has come to an end.

She is dead.

Being able to retain her sanity after death and appear in the world as a Zashiki-warashi is a miracle that many people long for, not to mention that she can also reunite with her parents, so that they no longer have to worry about her life or death.

Just like the fairy tales she had heard, no matter how tortuous and bumpy the story was, it would end with a happy ending. The story of "Satori Kako" had come to a perfect end at this point.

Of course she can stay with her parents.

"But, you can't do that."

It’s not that I will bring misfortune to my parents, nor is it that I don’t want to bring luck to my parents.

Instead, she wanted her parents to let go of the past and move on.

The story of "Zashiki-warashi" is well-known in Japan. Yoshiko Satori had seen this story when she was flipping through a storybook. She was puzzled as to why the girl in the story did not stay with her mother but instead ran to other people's homes to bring luck to others.

But now she understands.

She understood the moment her parents held her in their arms.

As long as she exists in this family, her parents will never get over the tragedy of "Satori Yoshiko's death". They will always want to make it up to her and take care of her, even if the price is their own lives.

"No."

She wants her parents to keep moving forward.

The lights went out, and Yoshiko Satori's body became transparent. She turned into an invisible elf and broke free from Harukako Satori's arms. She walked lightly down the stairs to the living room downstairs.

The light in the living room was still on, and Yasuhiko Satori had not fallen asleep yet.

Ever since he learned that Satori Yoshiko was dead, he has remained silent.

While the mother and daughter fell asleep, he sat in the living room, lighting cigarettes and smoking one after another.

Until Yoshiko Satori came down.

Yasuhiko Satori shook off the ash from his cigarette and forced a smile: "Are you leaving?"

It was the first time that Satori Yoshiko saw her father so depressed.

However, the girl still nodded firmly.

"Yeah, Dad, I'm leaving."

Yasuhiko Satori wasn't surprised: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mother?"

Yoshiko Satori: "Mom will be very sad... If you hug me, I won't know how to leave, so please, Dad, tell Mom tomorrow that I'm leaving."

Yasuhiko Satori's fingers trembled and he took a deep breath: "You really can't stay?"

Yoshiko Satori shook her head: "If I stay here, Mom and Dad won't be able to start a new life."

"Why is that the reason?"

Yasuhiko Satori showed an expression of disbelief.

This is different from what he thought.

At first he thought it was something like the separation of Yin and Yang, or the difference between life and death, but he never expected that the reason his daughter gave for leaving would be so... cruel.

How could it be because of this?

"You know, Yoshiko, your mother and I...we really need you."

"Yes, I know. Mom and Dad love me very much."

"But, Mom and Dad can't just have me."

Yoshiko Satori showed a bright smile, which shone into Yasuhiko Satori's eyes and made him speechless.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm not a vanishing earthbound spirit. I'm a Zashiki-warashi now! I'm just leaving home temporarily... I'll come visit Mom and Dad later, so when you tell Mom, you can also tell her that I'm going to see a friend!"

"Friends? Where are you going, Yoshiko?"

"In the home of a very important person... well, he doesn't actually have a home yet."

A stranger?

Yasuhiko Satori immediately frowned and stood up.

I clenched my fists subconsciously.

At this time, he didn't care about gender or anything like that, but as a father, he couldn't just watch his seven-year-old daughter run away to someone else's house.

For the sake of his reputation as a "father", he had to say something!

"Big brother helped me a lot."

Yoshiko Satori obviously didn't notice Yasuhiko Satori's mood.

The girl counted on her fingers the things that Makoto Mizutani had done for her, one by one.

"He helped me find my past, helped me find my name. When I was in the most pain and conflict, it was Big Brother who avenged me... And, in the end, it was Big Brother who saved Mom."

Yasuhiko Satori sat down again.

He sat on the sofa and suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength.

"So, I want to repay big brother... It doesn't matter even if he doesn't want it."

The older brother always said that helping her was his personal decision and he had no intention of getting anything from her.

So, now that she wants to help him, it is also her personal decision, a decision made after careful consideration. She does not intend to get approval from her elder brother, nor does she need to get his consent.

The father hesitated and said with difficulty: "Where is he? I want to go to his house to thank him."

"I can't tell you this, otherwise my big brother will be scared when he sees Dad coming to the house!"

Yoshiko Satori shook her head.

Seeing that her father didn't know what to say, she added:

"I wanted to repay big brother... Actually, I had thought about it before, but big brother was adamant that I should go home, and it was big brother who sent me back."

"Yako, I'm back home now, and I know what I should do."

"Dad, I want to repay him."

She said this with extreme seriousness.

"This is something I must do. If I can't do it, I'll always feel guilty... and I'll always feel like I owe Big Brother too much, and I'll always be thinking about Big Brother. I'll never be happy if I continue like this!"

Having said that, Yasuhiko Satori knew that he had no reason to keep his deceased daughter.

However, he still looked at the girl in front of him and subconsciously reached out to keep her.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist, the confusion and pleading in his eyes making him look more like a helpless child than an adult.

At the entrance, the girl stood on tiptoe and hugged her father tightly.

"Dad, I'm leaving."

At the moment of leaving, Satori Yoshiko turned around and said loudly:

"One more thing - Jiazi, I want a younger brother or a younger sister. I hope that next year, or the year after, I can become a sister!"

I seemed to hear the sound of someone falling down because he didn't stand firmly.

Yoshiko Satori didn't look back. She took a deep breath, afraid that if she looked back she would no longer want to leave.

In short - Dad must be scared!

Zashiki-warashi are born to play pranks!

But, what I said just now wasn't all a prank...

Hum, hum, hum…

The night sky is calm and peaceful. The bright moonlight flickers in the clouds, like a quiet river flowing silently through the buildings of varying heights.

In the moonlight, the girl clenched her fists.

"Big brother, I'm coming to see you!"

This is Zashiki-warashi's repayment!

……

……

Mizutani Makoto had a great night.

After eating barbecue, Kubo Shinji started pretending to be Brother Chuan and took him to the Internet cafe to play some fun games.

Normally, Mizutani Makoto would have refused.

But today was a special case. He thought about how he hadn't had a "life of his own" for several days, so he just agreed. So Kubo Shinji clapped his hands and immediately summoned his three other classmates, and the group played games in the internet cafe all night.

So he spent the whole night in jail.

I play AD carry! You want me to be the dean? Are you kidding me?

He was frightened to death by Lord Noxus's secret technique of the Blue Dragon Sword Axiom!

The next day came when I spent the rest of my life in jail with a few rich guys.

At around four in the morning, Mizutani Makoto left the Internet cafe and went to deliver the newspaper. He returned home and fell asleep. He didn't get up until around two in the afternoon.

Yes, the reason I can pull an all-nighter is that today is the weekend.

On Wednesday, Makoto Mizutani got the Sin-Smelling Salts, and on Thursday, he killed Toshiya Hosokawa. Yesterday was Friday, and when I woke up today, it was already the weekend of June.

Just when he decided to go out for a good time on Saturday afternoon, his dear best friend came to visit again, and Mizutani Makoto's vacation was extended.

Until Saturday night.

A certain elf left home under the reluctant gaze of his father.

At this time, Mizutani Makoto slowly lay down on the bed, looking at the number of explorations that he had not used last night, and finally remembered that he still had a main task.

——Push the map!

Heaven created all things to nourish man!

"kill!"

Chapter 57: Cleaver, Out!

"drink!"

With a roar of anger, Mizutani Makoto chopped Miss JK to death with his knife.

Soul +21

Sheath the knife.
