My deskmate is Nakano Satsuki.

It's one thing to come over for a free meal, but to complain that someone takes too long to open the door? If you weren't my sister, you would have just closed the door and disappeared!

Ye Feng stepped forward to close the door and said, "You can have breakfast before you go out."

"No."

Qiong bent down to change her shoes, looking unhappy. "Mom's cooking is terrible. She said she'd make curry yesterday morning, but there was only curry in the pot..."

"Today was the same. They said they would make grilled saury, along with rice and miso soup, but the saury was burnt. It's so black and inedible!"

"And they forgot to add rice, and the miso soup was just plain water..."

"..."

Ye Feng gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, covered his forehead, and muttered, "Never mind, don't say anything more."

His gaze fell on Qiong, then shifted away.

To be fair, although Qiong has an awkward personality and her figure can only be described as slender and not particularly good, the curve from her waist to her hips when she bends down to change her shoes is exceptionally beautiful.

However, even though Ye Feng only glanced at it, Qiong noticed it.

Qiong stood up, looking at him with disdain: "Disgusting! Hentai... Are you planning to report to a German orthopedic clinic?"

Ye Feng, with a poker face, said, "You're overthinking it."

I went into the kitchen and quickly brought out breakfast.

Because the apartment is small, there is no dedicated dining area, so a small folding table is used instead.

Qiong had already taken the initiative to unfold the table.

Breakfast consists of the most common grilled saury with rice, plus miso soup. If you like natto, you can also add some.

However, Ye Feng didn't like the sticky natto.

Therefore, no preparation was made.

Qiong was unhappy: "Is this all? I want udon noodles, or tonkotsu ramen... ..."

Despite saying that, Qiong still ate her food obediently.

Then... ...

Qiong's eyes lit up, and her twin ponytails swayed gently with her mood.

"good to eat."

"It tastes much better than what my mom makes."

“I’ve decided that I will come here for breakfast every morning from now on.”

"can."

Ye Feng did not refuse.

Qiong leaves home so early every day and doesn't even eat breakfast.

Besides, the breakfasts outside weren't really that good, so he mentioned it.

The result was self-evident; Qiong readily agreed.

Ye Feng took a sip of soup and said, "I mentioned this to my mother yesterday, and she agreed."

Qiong looked over with some surprise.

Ye Feng squinted and said, "She agreed because she can't cook well."

Of course, there was another important reason that Ye Feng didn't mention.

Yesterday he took a picture of himself and Miku at the shopping mall and sent it to her...

then.

Then I agreed.

Qiong poked at her rice and said, "That's fine, otherwise I would have told Mom myself..."

"..."

After breakfast, Ye Feng looked at Qiong and said, "Go wash the dishes, as we agreed yesterday."

"No, washing dishes will hurt my hands."

"We have a dishwasher."

"Hmm~"

Qiong puffed out her cheeks, got up unhappily, and obediently carried the bowl into the kitchen.

no way.

This is something we agreed on.

And if he doesn't make it, he might not make breakfast at all tomorrow.

Besides, we have a dishwasher; we can just throw it in.

Ye Feng opened his phone and started reading the news.

Last night, another "demon summoning" incident occurred, but unfortunately, by the time he arrived, it was too late.

The results speak for themselves.

Just as they reached the critical point, monsters appeared and reaped their lives.

This made him confirm it again.

The ominous aura emanating from Ichika is actually a form of protection for them!

Then the problem is coming.

From whom does this protection come?

Ye Feng remained silent for a moment, a vague guess forming in his mind. However, this guess was somewhat absurd, even cruel, for the Nakano family...

monster... ...

All will die.

No one is an exception.

The critical moment has begun; time may be running out.

What a hassle!

Undoubtedly, the pace of the critical point will accelerate, until it reaches a critical threshold...

And then, comes the end.

Even so, Ye Feng's heart remained largely unmoved.

Because this was an outcome he had already anticipated.

It cannot be stopped, nor can it be prevented.

What can he do?

Cold!

Ye Feng put away his phone and said, "Qiong, remember to wipe the table clean too."

"...Okay, I know, stop nagging."

Chapter 78 Another Ghost Girl

Under a blue sky, the sun shines brightly.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh and enchanting; a breeze carried a faint floral fragrance.

After several days of rain, the sunny weather lifted everyone's spirits.

"So heavy..."

Qiong complained, "My backpack is so full of stuff every day, it feels like I'm doing weight training..."

Ye Feng looked at Qiong's schoolbag and said, "You can put fewer things in it."

Girls' backpacks do indeed contain more items than boys', such as lip balm, a small mirror, pepper spray, and so on.

However, Ye Feng speculated that there might be a lot of snacks in Qiong's schoolbag.

Um... ...there are no books.

"No."

Qiong shook his head, looking unhappy, and said, "Helping your sister carry her schoolbag is your responsibility as an older brother. Please take responsibility properly."

You just want to be lazy, don't you!

Ye Feng squinted and said, "Walking must be tiring, right? Do you want me to carry you to Zongwu High School?"

Qiong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, it wouldn't be good if it got back to Mom..."

So you're just afraid it will get back home, not afraid of being misunderstood or losing face?

Cheating!

You actually thought that way?

So, it's pretty obvious whose fault it is!

Then the problem is coming.

If it were I who attacked Sora, I should have both legs broken and be sent to an orthopedic hospital in Germany. But what if it were Sora?

As Ye Feng passed through the first alley, he sensed something and turned to look. He saw a petite, semi-transparent figure sitting alone in the corner of the wall.

"?"

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened slightly before he looked away.

It's not Rinka.

Instead, it was another silver-haired ghost girl whom I didn't recognize at all.

It probably wandered over from somewhere recently.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, let's go."

After the two left, the ghost girl who had been sitting in the corner looked up and stared blankly at them.

This feeling of being watched...

is it him?

The petite, silver-haired ghost girl hesitated for a moment, then chased after her.

Soon, the ghost girl floated to Ye Feng's side, put her hands behind her back, and turned her head to look at him curiously.

"Hey... can you see me, big brother?"

"..."

Ye Feng didn't speak. Isn't it already very clear whether you can see or not?

"Waaah... I've got the wrong person."

Seeing that Ye Feng had no reaction, the ghost girl covered her face with her hands and let out a mournful cry, but through her fingers, her bright eyes stared at him without blinking.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng remained unresponsive.

The ghost girl asked in confusion, "Huh? Could it be that I've really mistaken someone for someone else?"

After thinking for a moment, the ghost girl moved closer.

Eyes facing each other.

Then the ghost girl made a funny face; her face was round, so she looked incredibly silly!

Ye Feng had a poker face.

I don't want to move today. It's like a period of quiet reflection, where I just want to lie down and savor the ups and downs of life.
