No, this is unreasonable!

Chapter 038 The Upheaval in the Nishikino Family

Wednesday, Sunday.

As dusk approached, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky with the color of flames, and rows of fiery clouds were dazzling. Such a beautiful scene went unappreciated in the city filled with high-rise buildings.

Pedestrians hurried by, some office workers carrying briefcases walked quickly down the street, and students leaving school didn't dare to linger outside, rushing home as reminded by their teachers and parents.

Because this city is not safe.

With more and more accidents making the news lately, nobody knows what might happen next.

In Chiyoda Ward, when Maki Nishikino returned home with her schoolbag, it was already dark. The large villa was quiet, with only a faint light shining from the kitchen. The red-haired girl nervously entered the house and, as expected, saw her mother sitting at the dining table with a gloomy expression.

"I am back."

"Gasang?"

Hearing her daughter's voice, Nishikino Mizuki was momentarily dazed, waking from some kind of reverie. She looked at her pretty daughter standing in front of her, with short, shoulder-length hair as bright red as her own and a delicate, beautiful face. "Maki, are you back?"

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Nishikino Maki nodded, put down her schoolbag, washed her hands, and returned. Looking at the empty villa living room, the dimly lit room, and her somewhat lonely mother, the girl hesitated for a moment before asking, "Kasan, where is Father?"

"He...has work to do."

Nishikino Mizuki forced a smile, patted her daughter's head, and said, her expression a mixture of pain and helplessness, "Let's eat first."

To be honest, Nishikino Maki was quite afraid of her strict and old-fashioned father, but her mother was usually kind and gentle, which made her like being with her. However... lately, her father had been coming home less and less, and seeing her mother's depressed mood every day, Nishikino Maki's mood was also very bad.

Indeed, her father hadn't come home for several nights in a row. As Nishikino Maki and her mother were eating rice, she suddenly looked up and asked, "Mom, did you and Father have a fight?"

“No,” Nishikino Mizuki paused for a moment, “If Mom and Dad were to argue, Maki, whose side would you take?”

Nishikino Maki: "..."

Seeing that her daughter couldn't answer, the beautiful red-haired woman shook her head, feeling that she had become stupid too, actually asking her daughter such a question. However... thinking that her husband had been completely obsessed with that Kawakami Tomie for the past two days, Mrs. Nishikino's expression was hard to cheer up.

She never imagined that her usually serious, steady, and mature husband would one day be increasingly infatuated with a woman. Nishikino Ruifei thought of her good friend's ex-husband, Mudo, at the hospital.

The image of that man acting crazy reminded me of my own husband's future and his fate.

The more Nishikino Mizuki thought about it, the harder it was for her to let go.

Late at night, Nishikino Maki was groggily awakened by a noise. The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, her delicate body in her pajamas getting out of bed, and went to the door of her room, slowly pushing it open.

A heated argument could be heard downstairs.

"Are you crazy? You're neglecting your family for a woman? Is that Kawakami Tomie really that infatuated with you? Is she really that beautiful that you can't extricate yourself from her?!"

That's my mother's voice.

“I told you, it’s not what you think. She and I are just doctor and patient.”

The father's voice remained as calm as ever.

"A patient? I don't see how you treat her like a patient. Does being a patient mean you'll stay out all day? Besides, is she even sick?" Nishikino Mizuki gritted her teeth. "She's not sick, she's a monster!!!"

"Shut up!!"

These words seemed to have touched a nerve with the man, and then Nishikino Maki heard a 'slap' sound. The girl covered her mouth, her heart was pounding, and feelings of panic and worry arose.

boom--!

After a moment of silence, the door slammed shut. After a long silence, Maki Nishikino heard faint sobbing downstairs, and heard her mother's heartbroken cries. Her chest tightened.

While feeling sad and grief-stricken, she also developed a great deal of resentment towards her father.

The next morning, after getting up, Nishikino Maki stood at the kitchen doorway, staring blankly at the slender, busy figure inside, "Mom..."

"What's wrong? Hurry up and wash up, breakfast is coming soon."

My mother's figure was still so graceful and charming. Her long hair was simply tied up, and she was wearing an apron. Her sexy figure with her curves in all the right places perfectly showcased her charm.

Her beautiful and stunning face, apart from being a little pale, was as elegant and charming as ever. Coupled with the mole at the corner of her mouth, she was simply a bewitching enchantress.

She's such a wonderful wife.

She seemed completely unaffected by last night's argument, but... Maki glanced around as she washed up and guessed that her father had slammed the door and left last night, and had never returned.

The girl didn't mention her father, nor did she mention what happened last night. After the mother and daughter finished their quiet breakfast, Maki picked up her schoolbag, moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

"I am leaving."

I went to school with my schoolbag.

Standing at the door, watching her daughter's departing figure, Nishikino Mizuhi finally suppressed her smile. She just didn't want to show it in front of her daughter. The lady rubbed her eyes. She had cried a lot in bed last night, but she had put on makeup this morning so her daughter wouldn't notice.

Now that she was all alone at home, looking at the empty house, and remembering her husband's terrifying gaze and the fierce slap he gave her last night, Nishikino Mizuki bit her lip.

She already had a premonition that this family might... soon fall apart.

Unlike Reina, at least back then Reina's divorce wasn't because of Kawakami Tomie, but now... seeing her husband so obsessed with Kawakami Tomie, searching for her every day.

Thinking back to what she had seen in the hospital, that Kawakami Tomie was a monster, Nishikino Mizuki felt nauseous and vomited.

Nishikino Mizuki didn't know what to do either. After all, she was just an ordinary person. Faced with her husband who was possessed by a demon, she had no way to help him. She could only compose herself, force herself to stay awake, and head to the private general hospital.

As soon as she stepped outside, Nishikino Mizuki frowned upon seeing a car parked in front of her house. Then she saw a woman get out of the car—a beautiful, unfamiliar woman dressed in office attire, but with a slightly sinister air about her.

Very weird.

"who are you?"

“Are you Mrs. Nishikino? Hello,” Itsuki Shima handed over a business card. “Madam may not remember me, but I was there that night at the hospital…”

That night... Nishikino Mizuki understood as soon as she heard that.

Upon seeing the name and the words "Himejinkai" on the business card, Nishikino Mizuki frowned, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing. "Himejinkai? A religion?"

“That’s right, but it’s more like a mutual aid society than a religion,” Shima Izuki said, pausing for a few seconds before continuing.

Mutual aid society?

Nishikino Mizuki is not one of those easily deceived housewives. "I don't need help."

"is it?"

Itsuki Shima gave a strange laugh. "Mrs. Nishikino really doesn't need help? You're in trouble right now, aren't you?"

"..."

"Moreover, after meeting that monster woman, Mrs. Nishikino, you should understand that there are many secrets in this world that are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"..."

"who are you?"

Chapter 039 Kiss

"Tomie, come here obediently, let me draw some blood."

"Mu Xiaoxiao! You bastard! You want to draw my blood again? Are you even human?"

"Of course I'm not human, didn't you see that?"

When the tentacle monster approached Kawakami Tomie with the syringe, the black-haired woman launched into a frenzied tirade of curses. However, no matter how much she swore, it couldn't change the fact that she was going to have her blood drawn.

Are you kidding me? You really think I'm keeping you here to eat and drink for free?

You're my precious girl, you need to give me some evolution points, understand? But recently Tomie has bled a lot, look at her, her face is pale, she's become anemic from all the blood loss I've done.

Mu Xiaoxiao put away the syringe with satisfaction. "That's enough. As a reward, you can move around freely for the next two days. Consider it a vacation."

"Don't even think about running away. No matter where you run, I'll bring you back."

Tomie Kawakami walked away, cursing under her breath.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

Itsuki Shima is in charge of recruitment outside the cult, while Miss Reina is in charge of the internal management of the Consort God Society. Of course, she won't be able to take over the power of the cult from Itsuki Shima anytime soon, but she can still take care of Mu Xiaoxiao's daily life without any problem.

After all, he's a tentacle monster, and it's very inconvenient for him to go out without a private car.

So, the leader said he wanted me to take control of the Princess Goddess Association, but I feel like I'm just a babysitter right now? Of course, Miss Rena doesn't dislike this feeling.

A nanny isn't out of the question...

"She's here, she's here," Sakura Natsumi, who had been notified in advance, opened the door and saw a beautiful, elegant, and youthful-looking woman outside. Although she had seen her at the hospital, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration when she saw her again. So beautiful.

This Rena-san is so pretty.

So what exactly is her relationship with Xiaoxiao? On the surface, they are said to be colleagues, but Xia Hai is not stupid; she doesn't believe it's that simple.

"Hello, I'm Reina. You must be Sakura Natsumi? I've heard the leader mention you before." Reina smiled kindly.

"Ah, um... My name is Sakuragami Natsumi, Aunt Reina, you can just call me by my name."

Ah, Auntie?

Although I am a bit older than this young girl... after all, I am a mother of five, it is still rare for me to be called "auntie" directly. The beautiful Ms. Lingna's smile froze and she almost couldn't maintain it.

"It's only fair, Xia Hai. You can just call me 'sister,' not 'auntie' or anything like that... Hehe," Ling Nai thought to herself, "This little girl is hostile towards me. Is it because of the cult leader?" She thought to herself, "The cult leader is clearly a non-human tentacle monster, yet such a beautiful girl likes him. It feels really strange."

"Wouldn't that be too impolite? After all, Auntie is..."

You're being even more rude now!

"Call sister!"

“Okay, Rena-nee... Xiaoxiao is upstairs, I’ll take you there,” Sakura Natsumi asked with some concern, “Rena-nee, what’s your relationship with Xiaoxiao?”

"Are you really bothered by this, Xia Hai? I'm actually quite curious. The sect leader's appearance is... but you seem to treat him very differently. Aren't you afraid?"

"Of course I'm not afraid! Xiao Xiao is different from others. Not to mention monsters, even humans can't compare to him!" Sakura Natsumi's heart softened as she thought of the times he had saved her. "Besides, Xiao Xiao is also very pitiful..."

Lingnai agreed with the girl's idea. Despite being a monster, he was still better than those scum humans. In this red-haired lady's mind, Mudo was not even as good as one of his tentacles.

But wait, what did this girl say?

You're saying the cult leader is human?

"Yes, Xiaoxiao is so pitiful. She's clearly human, but she's turned into a terrifying monster. She's afraid to go out and has to endure the torment her body suffers..."

Rena was stunned by these words, but it was understandable. She was a monster who could talk and had intelligence. Apart from her appearance, she was no different from a human.

All of these have been explained.
