I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"No, I can't die yet...Emi is still waiting for me...There is also the matter of "Evil Flower"...I have to go back..."

Just when Yue Yingqing was looking at the internal organs in his palm, it was difficult to accept the fact of his "death"...

"Lend your life."

Qi bangs swayed in the wind, and the girl in front of her turned around.

"However, there is a price..."

A pair of ruby-like beautiful eyes directly reflected into the bottom of his heart.

"Lend me...a life...at a price?"

After being slightly startled, Yueying Qingren firmly met the girl's blood-like pupils: "I am willing to pay any price for this."

"The price is there."

Where the scallion-like jade finger points, black tree roots occupy the ground to form an oval "cradle".

A "dark" baby is sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed.

"belch!"

In his small mouth, he sucked a piece of delicate tree root contentedly, and from time to time he burped tenderly.

"He...is the child from before!"

Seeing the dark baby with only the chubby face that was fair, Yueying Qingren immediately remembered the "ghost baby" who attacked the devil wolf Reyel beyond his control.

"If this child is here... what about the magic wolf..."

Not seeing the terrifying wolf on the left and right, Yueyingqingren endured the severe pain in his abdomen and bravely walked towards the "cradle".

Looking at it from a close distance, the baby has smooth and delicate skin and Asian facial features, but the whole body is covered with sparse black runes, so it looks pitch-black and terrifying like a "ghost baby" from a distance.

"Take him away and let him grow up like an ordinary human being."

With a flash of her figure, the girl's finger touched Yueying Qingren's eyebrows: "Hell has signed a contract with you... The borrowed life span will end on the day he turns eighteen."

"Eighteen years? That's enough."

The severe abdominal pain disappeared, and the strength returned to Yueyingqingren's body.

"I will keep my promise and take good care of this child."

Taking off his coat and spreading it on the ground, he carefully picked up the sleeping baby in the tree roots.

Only then did Yue Yingqing notice that the baby's back had a tattoo of a glaring black Buddha sitting cross-legged on a skull lotus platform.

"Remember, as a person from hell, you cannot intersect with people on the original life trajectory..."

Watching him wrap up the baby, the girl who stood silently by the side warned in a low voice: "Otherwise, your 'overdrawn' lifespan will come back to them."

"What, but I..."

The body froze, and Yueying Qingren's face fell into the shadows, and he nodded weakly: "Understood, I will find a place where no one knows, and raise him anonymously."

"etc……"

The girl's quiet blood pupils crossed the white mist and tree roots, and landed somewhere under the giant tree. The blood pupils slightly expanded: "Are you attracted here..."

Yueyingqingren's suitcase was lying quietly in the hole at the bottom of the tree, next to the collapsed "stone statue".

Fine crimson energy strands flashed across the surface of the suitcase.

"No... if you stay here..."

Frowning slightly, the girl seemed to have made some kind of decision: "Your box, remember to take it away."

"The box... oh, I almost forgot... Thanks for the reminder..."

Moon Shadow Qingren got into the tree hole where he hid before, and lifted the box.

"Remember, don't let him touch the things in the box now."

The girl's cold voice with no sense of distance continued to ring beside her ears: "I'll leave it to him when I'm eighteen."

"This box is just a computer, why..."

Glancing at the box in his hand in horror, Yue Yingqing came out from the roots of the tree: "Also, does this child have a name?"

"Where are people?"

The girl in the black kimono had disappeared without a trace, and only the black baby in the swaddle was left in the open space.

"Well, you can't keep calling 'children, children'?"

Hanging the sleeping baby on her chest, Yue Yingqing held the mouth of the suitcase and muttered something, and disappeared into the white mist in the direction she came from.

"Since we met in this place, you might as well use the surname 'Araki'..."

"As for the name... I just finished reading "The Gate" by Natsume Soseki recently, and the hero in it seems to be called Sousuke..."

"Well, Araki... Sousuke... that's a good name!"

There was silence under the black tree again, only the boulder covered by tree roots remained.

...

"After leaving the sea of ​​trees with that child, I didn't dare to contact anyone rashly, so I wandered all the way from Yamanashi to Yokohama. It was the Little Daisy Orphanage that was about to close down. It took in us who were of unknown origin and lived on the streets, and helped solve the problems of household registration and work. 』

"Silently investigating the matter of 'Evil Flower', the fragmented truth makes me more and more frightened. There is no way to contact Ms. Chino and Father Siena in private, so I can only write an anonymous letter to Tokimoto, trying to remind him to beware of this evil organization...』

"Days passed, and unlike what I was worried about, Zongsuke grew up healthy and normal in the orphanage, and did not show any difference from ordinary people. Apart from the eye-catching tattoos, he's just like any other kid. 』

"By the way, there is also Emi... I found out that she gave birth to our child safely, and it seems that she has never remarried... Chikusa is a good name, and she has a pretty and gentle color..."

"Every year, I secretly go to Uji to stay for a period of time. As long as I can watch their mother and child's daily work and study from a distance, it is already the happiest 'vacation time' in my life. 』

"Emi is really much stronger than me. She takes care of the children by herself, and she is also busy with the work of the publishing house. Although Chikusa is a little thin and thin, she is also a good kid who likes to be quiet and read books. She will definitely become a more reliable and useful adult than me in the future. 』

Giant trees, Skytree, Black Buddha...

The chaotic blood shadows, the spirit eliminators who are struggling to support...

At this moment, everything that is close in front of my eyes is completely isolated from consciousness by Tsukage Chikusa.

"Hey, hey... Are you kidding me... Araki Sousuke, this man actually picked it up in this forest?"

Staring blankly at the man in the video who has never masked his face but has hated him all his life, his thoughts froze like a paste: "He has been watching us secretly all these years, but because of a certain 'contract' Don't dare to recognize each other?!"

"The next thing I want to talk about is about this computer... No, it's about this 'monster'..."

"After I came out of the sea of ​​trees, I found that this computer is normal for daily use, except for its physical characteristics such as being sturdy, no need for electricity, and an extra map software that cannot be deleted and has a simple interface. But at the time, I didn’t know that what I opened was Pandora’s Box...』

Then, in the video, Yueying Qingren's face became serious, and his eyes became more serious than ever.
