Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 27 We can't possibly keep her at home, can we?
A simple bowl of noodles with chili oil is still a bit spicy for the island nation's culinary habits.

But for some reason, eating the noodles that Uta Kasaya made for her made her felt very warm inside.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten a hot meal outside of school.

"The Qingshan brand juice is a bit bitter, and the chili is too spicy, so if you can't eat it, then don't eat it. I'll get you something else."

Looking at the juice that Uta Kayo handed her, Kayano took a deep sniff.

"Thank you, Kasyapa-kun. I... I like it very much."

Jia Yezi likes anything made by Kasyapa-kun.
Looking at Jia Yezi's face, flushed red whether from emotion or the chili peppers, and her eyes filled with intense longing, Uta Kasyapa sighed inwardly.

Although I knew that Jia Yezi's emotions were not right, I remembered that in the original work, Jia Yezi wanted to make a better connection.

Her actions, such as hiding under his bed to eavesdrop, all indicate that this girl's personality has become completely twisted.

At this moment, just looking at me with such loving eyes is already incredibly restrained.

Knowing that too much contact with Kayano could lead to serious problems, Uta Kasaya couldn't just leave her alone.

The key point is that the girl in front of us is a suffering girl who has been neglected and bullied, not the evil spirit that people will fear in later generations.

Uta Kassapa could never ignore the tragic death of a living, breathing person.

Not to mention that from the moment the two established contact, the day Jia Yezi died was probably also the day her own game ended.

Therefore, from any perspective, he cannot allow Jia Yezi to follow the path described in the original work.

At the very least, you can't turn into a curse and kill yourself while you're still alive!
As for what will happen to the world after I die, whether Jia Yezi and Fu Jiang will cause it to collapse, that's none of my business.
"If you don't go home, won't your parents call the police to look for you?"

Jia Yezi was taken aback by what she heard, then calmly shook her head.

"No, they don't care about me. When I was little, I was sick at home and couldn't move for almost a week, and they didn't even notice."

"Only when you suddenly see me do you feel that you're still there."

Jia Yezi's description made Utakayo shake his head. What irresponsible parents could have done such a thing?

Thinking about how Jia Yezi had been kicked out of the house again today, Uta Kasaya sighed helplessly, thinking that Jia Yezi should come to him in the future.

But when he thought about how she had gone to the park alone to avoid causing him trouble, Utakayo had no choice but to speak up seriously.

"If you are kicked out of your home in the future, but you don't come looking for me, then we should never see each other again."

"Eh!?"

Upon hearing Uta Kasyapa's solemn words, Kayokawa felt a sudden surge of panic.

"No, no! I will come back to find Kasyapa-kun, please, please don't send me away."

Looking at Kayanoko, who was about to cry as she spoke, Uta Kasaya nodded with feigned toughness.

"Got it, keep eating your noodles."

"Mmm, I'll eat, I'll eat right away!"

Amidst the intense emotional turmoil, Jia Yezi choked on her noodles and coughed violently. Utakayo quickly handed her some juice, hesitated for a moment, then walked behind her and was patted on the back by her.

He finally understood that for Jia Yezi, who lacked confidence, was extremely humble, and had a dodder-like personality, the only solution was to be firm with her.

Only in this way can this girl, who is used to avoiding and yielding, confront her own cowardly personality.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, just before washing up and going to bed, Utada Kassapa noticed the white socks that Kayano had been wearing for who knows how long, which were the ones he had given her.

"Have you been wearing these socks all this time?"

Seeing Uta Kasyapa staring at her socks, Jia Yezi assumed he was disgusted by their dirtiness and quickly crossed her legs behind her, trying to hide them. "Hmm."

Upon seeing Jia Yezi's expression, Uta Kasaya knew that she must have misunderstood, and sighed helplessly.

"It's not that I think you're dirty, but I'll just sit here and forget it."

As he spoke, Uta Kasaya stomped up the stairs. Under the watchful gaze of Xiao Fujiang peeking out of the villa, he told her not to run out of the bedroom, then grabbed a few pairs of new socks and went downstairs.

"Take it to wash."

Looking at the socks that Uta Kasyapa handed her, Kayokawa felt a surge of joy and lowered her head shyly.

I'm so happy that you're thinking of me, Kasyapa-kun!
"Thank you, Lord Kasyapa..."

After handing the socks to Jia Yezi, Utakayo arranged her room and washing arrangements, then returned to her bedroom, locked the door, took Xiao Fujiang, placed her on the bedside table, and began to rest.

The next morning, Uta Kassapa, who was making breakfast, looked at Fukie walking in from outside and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Knowing Fu Jiang's personality well, he dared not show any emotion on his face, but simply followed the steps and made his noodles into a mildly spicy flavor that she could accept.

Oh, and her favorite Aoyama brand orange juice too.

Seeing Uta Kasyapa's sensible actions, Fujō maintained a calm and collected expression, but thought to himself.

You're smart to know your place, otherwise I would have made sure you never had a moment's peace today!

"Why don't you eat?"

Looking at the other bowl of noodles, Fujō looked at Utakayo with a puzzled expression.

"It's for Jia Yezi, she'll come down to eat in a bit."

"!!!"

"Uta Kasyapa, you!!"

Seeing that Fukie was about to lose her temper, Uta Kassapa raised her hand to signal her to calm down and told her about Kayokawa's situation.

After hearing about Jia Yezi's experience, Fu Jiang was still angry that Utakayo had brought another girl home, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"So what are you planning to do? You can't just keep her at home, can you?"

After saying this with an unfriendly look in her eyes, Fu Jiang implied, "You're keeping her at home, what do you take me for?"
Uta Kassapa glanced at the still-used bathroom, thought for a moment, and then told Fukie that Kayori's parents would die in a car accident during her university years.

Upon hearing this, Fujang frowned and looked at Utakata.

"What exactly are Jia Yezi and me to you, no, to you who didn't time travel?"

"."

Uta Kasyapa remained silent, and Fukie did not urge him, but simply waited quietly.

Just as Uta Kassapa was at a loss for what to do, Kayano's timid voice came from the direction of the bathroom.

Good morning, Fufu Jiang.

Looking at Kayanoko, who had changed into Utakayo's yellow pajamas and whose eyes held a mixture of worry and timidity, Fukie gave Utakayo a deep look.

Then, while pressing hard on his instep and grinding it back and forth, he looked at Jia Yezi and responded with a normal expression.

"Come and have some noodles, this guy's always been a pretty good cook."

Upon hearing Fu Jiang's invitation, Jia Yezi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded emphatically, and jogged to the table to sit down.
