Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Chapter 106 The Rumors of the Yamaga Family

Two days later, at a coffee shop near Chiba Station.

Kiyokawa Kiri returned with the ordered drinks and cake. Kawakami Tomie was sitting on a high chair by the window, resting her chin on her hand, watching with interest a young couple passing by outside the window—they were holding hands and seemed to be in a good relationship, probably in the throes of new love.

"Your Americano..." Kiyokawa Kiri pushed the coffee towards him, unable to resist asking curiously, "Why do you want something so bitter?"

Americano is something only people who are desperate will suffer for.

This stuff is really bitter, and you can't taste anything special about it at all.

But strangely, Kawakami Tomie seems to want to try something, which confuses Kiyokawa Kiri.

"There's no particular reason, I just wanted something flavorful to drink, even something bitter is fine," Tomie Kawakami explained simply, casually measuring the temperature of the cup with her finger; it was indeed a bit hot.

Seeing that his girlfriend seemed to have a strange eating habit, Kiyokawa Kiri was a little speechless.

The voice of Omi Chika echoed in her mind again, but this time it was different from before; her voice seemed more specific.

"What does Americano taste like? Let her give you a sip first," she urged.

"You wouldn't want to try it...it's really awful."

Kiyokawa Kiri mentally complained before finally calming down the restless Omi Kin.

Since the other party's spirituality was restored, he seems to be more active than before. Perhaps it is also due to Kiyokawa Mist himself. He has been cultivating his spirituality for the past two days, and he will occasionally run into the consciousness space to bother the other party. He has also moved a lot of furniture in, and decorated the place to look like a place where people can live.

Thanks to this reason, their relationship became increasingly harmonious.

Meanwhile, Kiyokawa Kiri became increasingly adept at controlling her own spirituality.

Now he can influence the things around him with his spirituality alone, without touching anything.

It's somewhat similar to Qigong... but he hasn't practiced it long enough to make the surface foam of the coffee slowly spread. To put it bluntly, it's still not very useful. If a real fight breaks out, it will depend on Miss Mary and his evolved self.

Kiyokawa Kiri shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and instead said, "The target should be in the residential area nearby. Knowing that the person's name is Yamaga, it should be easy to find them by following the road."

"Yeah...

""

Tomie Kawakami picked up her coffee and took a sip.

A bitter taste reached her tongue, causing her to furrow her brows slightly, but she quickly relaxed them.

She even showed a somewhat pleased expression, but she was here on serious business...

Kiyokawa Kiri took out her phone and checked again, then said in a low voice, "According to Hojo Noriko's investigation, the Yamaga family should just be an ordinary family, not involved in any ghost stories or anything like that. The reason why Yamaga Toshio became the current Saeki Toshio is actually because of the 'Ju-on'."

"Well, but then again..."

Kiyokawa Kiri suddenly said with some concern, "If they are all ordinary people, it will be more difficult to handle."

Neither of the two adults in the Yamaga family are good people.

However, since the other party was just an ordinary person, Kiyokawa Kiri couldn't just kill them directly, as that would cause considerable trouble and would go against the principles believed by Hojo Noriko. Not to mention, Kiyokawa Kiri never wanted to kill anyone in the first place.

Don't let his current status as one of the best among all the strange tales fool you.

But so far, he has only killed four people.

One of them was the Yakuza who came to their door back then, and the other three were all from Aum Shinrikyo, including Shoko Aso.

Compared to someone like Ishii Gen, he was incredibly kind.

"If you can't kill him, why don't you call the police?"

Kawakami Tomie was still a bit distracted and casually said, "Anyway, you said they would kill their own children later, so they're probably abusing the children now. Just call the police and let them handle it."

"That makes sense..."

Kiyokawa Kiri hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that what the other party said made sense, he still didn't have much confidence.

After all, this matter is of great importance. Who knows, there might be someone like Hakyuuji watching him right now. If he goes to contact the person from the past, who knows what strange phenomena will occur? According to the rules of the supernatural, he will most likely have to deal with one-third of the "Ju-on".

That's the Curse of the Dead...

Kiyokawa Kiri was still somewhat emotional, never expecting that he would actually one day confront a legendary ghost story.

However, since things have come to this, he has nothing to regret. Judging from the performance of Bo Xiongzhi and Xiao Hei, their main problem is that their abilities are very strange, but their destructive power is not very strong. It would be best if he could deal with this trouble by dealing with their moves as they came.

The two sat in the coffee shop for a while longer before preparing to leave.

The area where the Yamaga family lives has been sent to them by Hojo Noriko, but to find the exact location, the two of them still need to go door to door to find it—Japanese people have a habit of hanging their family name on the front door, so it's not too difficult to find.

Tomie Kawakami has a terrible temper; she only searched for a short while before going on strike.

Kiyokawa ignored her and continued searching on her own. Soon, at the very end of the residential area, she saw the Yamazaki family's house number.

What puzzled him was that it seemed no one was home at the other party's house...

"Ding-dong, ding-dong"

Kiyokawa Kiri rang the doorbell, but after a long while, no one came out to answer it.

He frowned and looked at the house in front of him with some confusion. Just then, the neighbor of the Yamaga family seemed to have heard the noise, opened the door and came out to take a look. He then shouted, "No need to press the button anymore. The Yamaga family has all gone to attend Oshima Ryusuke's funeral."

"funeral?"

Kiyokawa Kiri turned to the old man in front of her and asked with some curiosity, "When will they be back?"

"Who are you?" The old man was rather cautious, looking Qingchuan Wu up and down before speaking directly.

He has lived here for many years and is well-known to the neighbors.

But I have never seen Kiyokawa Kiri.

Fortunately, the latter answered fluently and patiently explained, "I am Yamaga Yoshiko's cousin, Yamaga Kaku..."

'

Noriko Hojo sent not only the Yamaga family's address, but also detailed information about the two adults in the Yamaga family—after all, she now had close ties with the Metropolitan Police Department, and could obtain such information with just a few clicks.

Kiyokawa had prepared her explanation beforehand, and no matter how cautious the old man was, seeing Kiyokawa's fluent answers, he gradually dispelled his doubts.

"Ryusuke Oshima was Yamagamiko's former boss. He passed away a few days ago, and today is the day of his funeral."

C

The old man quickly replied, "I don't know exactly where to do it."

"But you might have to wait quite a while; they probably won't be back anytime soon."

As he said this, the old man had a gloating expression on his face, as if he knew the inside story.

However, what he said earlier was indeed quite intriguing.

Yamagami is a typical housewife.

This kind of housewife is actually very common in Japan. After completing their studies, young women usually enter companies and work for a few years. Then they have to resign and retire because of marriage. If a woman does not become a full-time housewife, her husband will be regarded as incompetent and unable to support the family.

The Japanese place great importance on this aspect, and it is generally the case that men are responsible for external affairs while women are responsible for internal affairs.

In their common perception, women should stay at home after marriage and deal with trivial matters.

Men are the ones who go out and conquer the world.

Yamagamiko is a very typical woman, but what is puzzling is that as a woman, even if she is attending the funeral of her former boss, it shouldn't take her so long. Moreover, she has been gone for so long, yet she still makes a special trip there. Could it be that she was often taken care of by her boss at the company?

Kiyokawa Kiri was only puzzled for a moment, but didn't think too much about it.

After all, there are just too many possibilities.

There's no point in dwelling on these things; it's like trying to find something wrong with something.

But noticing something amiss in the old man's expression, his eyes flickered slightly. He wasn't a novice anymore and could roughly read the man's micro-expressions, so he feigned curiosity and asked, "Really? Why didn't you come back so soon?"

"Well..."

'

Upon hearing Kiyokawa's words, the old man seemed somewhat troubled, unsure whether to speak up or not.

Seeing this, Kiyokawa Kiri quickly assured him that he wouldn't talk nonsense or tell Yamagami Miko, but only wanted to know what had happened to his cousin. Even so, the old man still hesitated, probably because he felt that such a thing couldn't be told to the person's family.

But he couldn't withstand Kiyokawa's persistent questioning, and finally stammered, "Never mind, it's not exactly a secret around here anyway, a lot of people around here know about it."

"It seems that Yamaga Yoshiko had an affair with Oshima Ryusuke. It is said that her child, Yamaga Yuji, is actually Oshima Ryusuke's son, but Yamaga Naoya raised him as his own son for many years. However, a couple of years ago, something happened and Yamaga Naoya seems to have found out about this."

The old man, Ni, quickly explained the whole story.

It's highly likely that Yamagami Yoshiko and Oshima Ryusuke really are having an affair.

Because Yamaga Yuji looks remarkably like Oshima Ryusuke, and because Yamaga Yoshiko seems to frequently contact Oshima Ryusuke, Yamaga Naoya becomes suspicious. He hires a private investigator to investigate secretly, and he does discover some clues.

After confirming that his wife had cheated on him with his former boss, Naoya Yamaga's personality changed drastically.

However, his marriage to Yamagami was actually somewhat of a political alliance, and it was not easy to get a divorce directly—Yamamiko herself was not capable, but she had an uncle who was very powerful in Chiba. Yamagami Naoya could not get a divorce, so he could only frequently give Yamagami the silent treatment.

His attitude towards Yuji Yamaga was even worse.

After all, no man could be completely without resentment after learning that the child he had raised for so many years actually belonged to someone else.

Furthermore, Yamagamiko didn't seem to like her child either, making Yuji appear incredibly pitiful in the family.

Actually, none of that is the point. The point is that Ryusuke Oshima has passed away. Yoshiko Yamaga may be a little sad, but Naoya Yamaga is just there to join in the fun, to see the corpse of his dead enemy and feel smug.

After listening to what the old man said, Kiyokawa fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

No wonder...

He stroked his chin and muttered a few words to himself.

At this moment, Omi Chika spoke up, saying with great disdain, "You humans are such a hassle. Your wives have already cheated on you, and this useless man only dares to pretend to attend the funeral after she has passed away."

"It's pretty pathetic..."

'

Kiyokawa Kiri was somewhat speechless, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

He watched the old man walk away with his hands behind his back, seemingly worried that his cousin, Yamagamiko's cousin, would be furious after hearing his evaluation of his sister, so he hurriedly ran away—in fact, the other man was overthinking it, and Kiyokawa Kiri didn't care at all.

What he's worried about now is something else entirely.

"According to what they said, it seems that Yamaga Naoya has already harmed his own son."

He turned his head to look at the slightly gloomy detached house in front of him and subconsciously frowned.

So, locking someone in the closet probably wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but more likely a form of punishment—similar to what I've heard in my past life: some parents, feeling their children are disobedient, will throw them into a dark room, where the children will live in constant fear.

If that's the case, Yuji might be in this house right now, locked in that closet.

After thinking for a moment, Kiyokawa Kiri decided to go in and take a look.

He first sent a message to Tomie Kawakami, who didn't know where to go, before deciding to go around to the back of the house.

Kiyokawa Kiri planned to illegally break in through a second-floor window.

He easily climbed into the pipe, and using the Mary mark on his left hand, he could unleash a slashing ability, easily breaking the window and door locks, and swiftly flipping over to break in.

He landed lightly on the floor, the dust he kicked up floating in the sunlight.

The room was more spacious than expected, with only a few dusty cardboard boxes piled in the corner. The walls still bore the marks of a faded yellow calendar, and the air was thick with the musty smell and a faint scent of incense...

He looked around and was immediately disappointed, thinking that this was just a storage room, so he pushed open the door and went into the corridor.

Despite the bright sunshine outside, the corridor was pitch black inside.

In the dim light, one could almost see the faint reflection from the stair railing at the top of the stairs. The overall atmosphere was incredibly oppressive, and the whole place looked very disjointed.

Kiyokawa's goal was clear: she only looked around the rooms and quickly found a secondary bedroom. The bed inside was very small, obviously for a child. Most importantly, there was a wooden wardrobe opposite the bed.

Kiyokawa Kirito's gaze immediately fell upon it.
