Chapter 3 The storm has not stopped
Dong Wenyu walked out of the secret room, closed the secret door, and had a somewhat satisfied smile on his face, although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he seemed to have gotten what he wanted.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the shoji door of the tea room.
Dong Wenyu restrained his smile, his expression became majestic, and he said lightly: "Come in." β
Outside the door came a waitress with her head bowed and her face unclear.
"U-sama, the elders of the Genkai and the Benevolence Society have come to visit and are waiting in the reception room."
When Dong Wenyu heard this, his expression moved, he smiled slightly, nodded, indicating that he knew, and left the tea room quickly in a little anxious.
The sound of his heavy footsteps faded away, and silence returned to the tea room.
He lowered her head with the maid down, and when Dong Wenyu's footsteps were no longer audible, she raised her head slightly, revealing a somewhat beautiful face.
She stared expressionlessly in the direction of the secret door of the tea room, and suddenly spoke.
"You really gave the power of Chi and Qing to Dong Wenyu?"
"It's a little too cheap for him, the burnt sacrifice rituals of those secret rituals have consumed a lot of your strength, is it worth it?"
After a brief silence, the ethereal sound of the ghosts and gods sounded.
was different from the attitude of talking to Dong Wenyu just now, and there was an obvious helplessness in his ethereal voice this time.
"There's no way around it..."
"It's okay, the strength of Chi and Qing is not comparable to those killing-level secret ritual masters, not to mention, I also have my considerations."
"I'm not naΓ―ve enough to believe in a human with wolf ambitions, that power has been manipulated by me, and after Dong Wenyu uses that thing, the born secret ritual will be used by us."
"I need them as a backhand to make sure that I can bring Maki Tobun to me."
"Yokoda has failed, it seems that the people of the Collectibles Association are meddling, and three months of hard work have been in vain, and the body of the Yingcao Demon Soul may be destined to be missed."
"But this one is close at hand... Can't let it go any longer! β
"I don't have time to return to the world by the method of [Arrival], I can only choose [Take]."
"And the flesh that allows me to retain my strength to the greatest extent is the body that can contain the demon soul, otherwise the ritual will be meaningless."
And the goddess of service nodded slowly and darkly.
"I see, I'll look for opportunities too... But my body is so inferior that I'm afraid it's hard to do anything. β
"I'm going to improvise and act when the opportunity arises..."
"By the way, I've been investigating Dong Wenyu all this time, you have to be careful of him, he seems to have made more than just a deal with us - he has clues that he has been in contact with other ghosts and gods..."
"Be prepared, there aren't many opportunities like this."
After saying these words, he and the maid bowed slightly, turned around indifferently, and left in a hurry.
The rain was getting heavier and the day was getting late, and the station of the Tobunkai became calm.
But this was only a temporary calm before another storm.
In the sound of wind and rain, another night passed.
On Friday, heavy rain turned to torrential rain, and the Meteorological Observatory issued a heavy rain warning, and this long-standing rain swept across the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Government, causing serious inconvenience to many people's lives.
No one wants to go to school or work in a wet state, but fortunately tomorrow is the weekend, so there is no need to work and study in this pouring rain, which makes many people look forward to the holiday even more.
It won't rain for five or six days!
That's what a lot of people think.
Uesugi Kiyoshi too.
The sky outside the window was even more gloomy, the dark clouds were stacked on top of each other, and the squeezed sunlight had nowhere to go, as if the never-ending raindrops were connected into a rain curtain, smashing on the ground and shattering bones, resonating with high-frequency white noise that stirred the sensitive human ears.
In the heavy rain, Arakawa Ward is a bit very deserted, with few pedestrians on the streets, and even many private shops are closed, so business in this weather would not have been good.
This hypnotic white noise rain is also the reason why Uesugi Kiyoshi is a little drowsy, Nohara Kyoko is cleaning, he wants to help, but he is driven away by Apricot with a completely different momentum from the usual weakness, in order not to get in the way, he temporarily hid on the balcony.
It's raining too much, and reading a book here will wet the pages, and it's now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the time he can enter the mirage building every day has also run out in the morning, and Uesugi Kiyoshi has fallen into a rare time of some boredom.
In the past, he was either studying or preparing for it.
The study here does not only refer to academics, but everything that can improve their comprehensive level, he has experienced the tempering of life, sneering at the uselessness of reading, learning a little more, improving more of himself, how can it not be a bad thing, let alone useless work.
For him, no matter what he learns, the logical thinking honed in the process of learning, the perseverance to persist in learning and cultivate, and the broadening of his horizons when exposed to new knowledge are already rare wealth.
Learning is painful, such as the practice of kendo, but the sweet fruit after the pain is the unremitting motivation that makes Uesugi Kiyoshi happy.
Compared with the fast-paced life before, Uesugi Kiyoshi has indeed been a little uncomfortable in the past two days.
He felt as if he had changed from an unaccompanied high school student to a young master of a big chaebol, and he enjoyed the top-level treatment of stretching out his hands and opening his mouth.
Nohara Kyoko's sentence "I'm clumsy, I can only do some housework" is really humble.
If reality is a game and everyone's ability can be measured by level, then Nohara Kyoko's housekeeping level is definitely higher than Uesugi Kiyoshi's kendo level.
What she brought back from the Yokota house, in addition to some necessary clothes, turned out to be an electric iron, and some pots and pans that Uesugi House lacked, and even a small oven, these things were piled up in a large box, if it weren't for Uesugi Kiyoshi's current physical fitness was already a little perverted, he really couldn't carry it back.
In return for his hard work in carrying these things, he now wakes up in the morning, and there are ironed clothes with temperature on the pillow, the room will be filled with the tempting aroma of food, every corner of the dilapidated apartment will be cleaned and shiny, and at the warm table that serves as a dining table, there will be a well-behaved and obedient legal loli waiting for him to have breakfast together.
Yes...
No wonder those students of the same level are so keen on love... Is this what it feels like to have a girlfriend to take care of?
This kind of thought irrepressibly came to his mind, and Uesugi Kiyoshi, who had always taken care of himself, was suddenly taken care of so thoughtfully, which made him a little uncomfortable, and there was also a new feeling that was difficult to explain.
Well... It doesn't seem that bad either.
Just as Kiyoshi Uesugi was thinking nonsense on the balcony, the phone in his pocket buzzed.
