My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

So it's perfectly fine to praise them verbally.

Kasugano Sora was very happy after hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words.

She thought to herself, "If only Takayanagi Ichiro really were from this town."

"Brother Gao Liu, it would be wonderful if you were willing to stay in our small town."

Chapter 465 Qiong, Close Your Eyes If You're Afraid

Kasugano Sora didn't have much longing for the outside world, which is why she said something like asking Takayanagi Ichiro to stay.

However, her face turned red immediately after she finished speaking, since it sounded like she was confessing her feelings.

Fortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro did not respond, but simply followed quietly behind her, as if he had not heard what she said.

This greatly relieved Kasugano Sora, as she didn't want Takayanagi Ichiro to think she was a girl who didn't know how to behave.

On the way to Yorihime Nao's house, the story recounts some things about Yorihime Nao and her siblings, mainly focusing on the relationship between Yorihime Nao and Kasugano Haruka.

When their parents were still alive, they had expressed their reluctance to let Yorihime Nao and Kasugano Haruka continue their close relationship.

However, after their parents passed away unexpectedly, Kasugano Yu seemed to have forgotten this reminder and started interacting more with some of his female classmates.

If Kasugano Sora were to give her brother a concise and clear reminder, he would be annoyed.

That's why she tried a different approach, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect.

This is something you should tell your best friend, but because of her personality, Kasugano Sora doesn't have any good friends at school.

And he couldn't tell his grandfather either, so he kept it all to himself.

Now, in front of Takayanagi Ichiro, a stranger from out of town, Kasugano Sora speaks freely because she feels that Takayanagi Ichiro is a trustworthy person.

By the time Kasugano Sora had finished her story, she had already brought Takayanagi Ichiro to Yorihime Nao's house.

Why are the lights off in their house?

Kasugano Sora felt something was strange because on the way here she saw that many houses had already turned on their lights, even though it wasn't completely dark yet.

If Haruka Kasugano and Nao Yorihime were in this house, the lights should be on, unless they're doing something that's holding them back.

"Either they are not home, or they have locked the house from the inside."

After observing the situation at Yorihime Nao's house, Takayanagi Ichiro shared his speculation.

Because the door to Yoshihime Nao's house was locked, and it was locked from the inside.

"Today at school, I vaguely heard people say that Yorihime Nao's parents went to another place for some business, and Yorihime Nao was the only one at home."

If Yu was really tricked into coming here, she would definitely stay in this house and not go anywhere else.

Kasugano Sora definitely knows far more about Kasugano Haruka and Yorihime Nao than Takayanagi Ichiro does.

"Then let's just knock on the door and ask them to come out."

After explaining his plan, Takayanagi Ichiro reached out and pushed the door open, hoping the person inside would come out and open it.

But before he could make a move, he was immediately stopped by a pair of small hands.

Kasugano Sora reached out and pulled Takayanagi Ichiro back, telling him not to do anything that would bother others.

Kasugano Sora's hands were small and soft, and she didn't have much strength, but Takayanagi Ichiro obediently stopped what he was doing.

"We can't bother him directly, so how do we notify your brother that we're coming to see him? Should we call them?"

Kasugano Sora immediately shook her head in rejection of Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion, as it would disturb the two people inside the house, which was not the outcome she wanted.

“I’ve been to Nao’s house before, and I know there’s a door they never close, but you have to get over the wall to get inside.”

The wall around Yoshihime Nao's house isn't very high, only a little over two meters.

Kasugano Sora's physical abilities are simply not up to par, and Takayanagi Ichiro, being an outsider, may not be able to get in perfectly either.

"Once you get inside, will you be able to find the door and enter their house?"

"Yes."

"Let's go somewhere else then."

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he led Kasugano Sora around for a bit, and then stopped in a place away from being seen by people on the street.

In this small town, most houses are built along the roadside. If you cross the wall at the main gate, you're sure to attract attention.

Takayanagi Ichiro and Kasugano Sora are now positioned perfectly within the blind spot of the road.

Even if you want to do something on this side of the wall, you will never be disturbed.

"Brother Gao Liu, what are you going to do now that you're here?"

This situation can be considered a private moment between Kasugano Sora and Takayanagi Ichiro, but Kasugano Sora shows no fear or tension whatsoever.

I actually felt a little excited, because this was something I had never experienced before in my life.

Even if he and Haruka Kasugano did some naughty things in the past, it was always at home, and they were just kids.

Kasugano Sora is now a high school girl, and she's walking with a very handsome outsider like Takayanagi Ichiro.

"I'll take you straight over this wall."

In the past, Ichiro Takayanagi certainly wouldn't have been able to say something so confident.

However, he gained the ability of the world's number one fighter, and it was no problem for him to carry a person and jump over a wall.

"Just jump over this wall?"

Kasugano Sora was a little confused by Takayanagi Ichiro's words and took a closer look at the wall around her.

Although I'm not as tall as those two, it's completely impossible for me to get over them.

Takayanagi Ichiro isn't a superhero from an animated film. How could he possibly jump over a two-meter-high wall by himself, and even take her with him?

"I promised to come out with you to solve the problem, so of course I have to keep my promise."

I really can carry you straight across, but I need to touch you first, I need to hold you in my arms.

Takayanagi Ichiro wasn't trying to take advantage of Kasugano Sora; he simply needed to hold her in his arms to get over the wall.

Kasugano Sora blushed after hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, but she did not refute them.

"Brother Gao Liu, I believe you wouldn't lie to me."

After saying this, Kasugano Sora closed her eyes, as if waiting for Takayanagi Ichiro to make a move.

Just as he tried to open his eyes to sneak a peek at Takayanagi Ichiro, he discovered that she was suspended in mid-air.

She instinctively clasped her hands together and wrapped them around Takayanagi Ichiro's neck.

"ah……"

I thought Takayanagi Ichiro would need to prepare more, but I didn't expect him to pick me up so quickly.

Opening her eyes, she found that Takayanagi Ichiro's gaze was not on her, but rather on the wall beside her.

"Qiong, if you're scared, just close your eyes."

Chapter 466 The Battle of the Mysterious Pass Still Happened

Takayanagi Ichiro noticed Kasugano Sora's gaze, so he withdrew his gaze from the edge of the wall and reminded Kasugano Sora to close her eyes if she felt scared.

"I see."

Kasugano Sora felt very safe in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, just like when she was a child in her grandfather's arms.

She did receive her parents' love when they were alive, but it was nowhere near as much as Haruka Kasugano's.

The affection she received mostly came from her grandfather.

Unfortunately, her grandfather rarely doted on her after she grew up.

Now, in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, I've rediscovered that feeling from back then.

Kasugano Sora gave an answer, but she had no intention of closing her eyes.

Instead, she stared wide-eyed at Takayanagi Ichiro, anticipating his next move.

Takayanagi Ichiro wouldn't force Kasugano Sora to close her eyes. Since she thought she wasn't afraid, Takayanagi Ichiro simply hugged Kasugano Sora tighter and then pushed off with his foot.

He leaped up from the ground and easily cleared the more than two-meter-high wall.

Kasugano Sora, nestled in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, felt as if she were about to fly away, her mouth agape in shock.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Kasugano Sora felt a gust of wind enter her mouth, making her want to cough.

Fortunately, Kasugano Sora was also a very quick-witted person, and she immediately buried her head in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms.

Even the slightest cough would not attract the attention of anyone inside the house.

"Alright, now that we're inside, you can show me how to get into this house."

Instead of continuing to hold Kasugano Sora, Takayanagi Ichiro simply put her down, which left Kasugano Sora feeling very regretful.

If I could stay in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms forever, that would definitely be a rather enjoyable thing.

However, Kasugano Sora had no intention of forcibly staying in Takayanagi Ichiro's arms, because they came to Yorihime Nao's place to see what had happened between Kasugano Yu and Yorihime Nao.

"Brother Gao Liu, come with me."

After Kasugano Sora finished speaking, she took Takayanagi Ichiro's hand and led him to the location she remembered.

Upon arriving at a door, Kasugano Sora touched it and found that it was unlocked, which brought a smile to her face.

“Brother Gao Liu, this is the door I was talking about. We can go in and take a look, as long as we don’t disturb the people inside.”

Actually, it was already dark, so even if Ichiro Takayanagi and Sora Kasugano wandered around near the main gate, they wouldn't be seen by passersby.

They've already exceeded some restrictions by being able to enter this courtyard. If they continue to enter other people's homes, there are some things that don't make sense.

"Qiong, it's not quite right to just go in like this."

However, I did hear some noise from the gate; we can go check it out there.
