Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Chapter 112 Infancy, the Neighbor's Sister

Kiyokawa was standing on the beach, still not quite understanding what was going on, when a girl on a bicycle waved at him. He froze, unable to recognize her.

But it doesn't matter, because the girl clearly recognized him...

"Little Fog?"

Seeing Kiyokawa Kiri standing blankly on the beach, soaking wet, Ando Nozomi quickly abandoned her bicycle and rushed towards Kiyokawa Kiri—she suddenly hugged her while the latter looked completely bewildered, her worried words reaching her ears.

"Are you alright? How did you get so wet?"

"Hurry back with me, be careful not to catch a cold..."

'

Ando Nozomi affectionately patted Kiyokawa Kiri's head, then, without saying a word, tried to take him away.

Kiyokawa Kirito made a symbolic struggle, but finding that he couldn't break free, he had no choice but to give up—he didn't know the girl, but after leaving the beach, he recognized the surrounding area; it looked very familiar... This was his hometown, a beach in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture.

How did I end up traveling back here?

Kiyokawa Kiri was somewhat surprised. The deviation from his original plan, resulting in his body becoming youthful, was already astonishing enough, but returning to his hometown was even more unexpected. He now suspected that he might have been transported back seven or eight years...

This is bad.

Kiyokawa Kirito suddenly felt a headache coming on, and he tried to communicate with the cursed power within his body.

However, he seemed to have traveled directly back to his childhood self, with no trace of magical power in his body, and Omi Kin had obviously disappeared as well.

In this situation, let alone carrying out the original plan, even getting back is a problem... The note isn't on me!

Damn it.

Kiyokawa Kiri frowned; the little boy already looked quite grown-up.

However, in Ando Nozomi's eyes, he was still the neighbor's younger brother who needed to be taken care of. She originally wanted to take Kiyokawa Kiri back to Kiyokawa's house, but then she remembered that there seemed to be an event at the mountain shrine today, and most people were not in town. Even she had come back for something, so she turned around and took Kiyokawa Kiri back to her own house.

"Come on, hurry up and take off your clothes..."

'

As soon as they entered, Ando Nozomi urged Kiyokawa Kiri to take off his clothes, clearly intending to throw him into the bathroom for a hot shower.

Although her body has become very young, Kiyokawa Kiri's current consciousness is that of a seventeen-year-old.

He said somewhat reluctantly, "I can do it myself."

"No, put your hands up right now." Ando Nozomi's expression was serious. Ignoring Kiyokawa Kiri's resistance, she directly ripped off his soaking wet shirt, and then asked, "Why are you at the beach? Didn't you go to the shrine with your aunt and uncle?"

"No..

'

Kiyokawa Kiri's voice carried a strange resentment.

Having suddenly lost his once strong body, he is now incredibly weak, even weaker than the girl in front of him. She is determined to take off his clothes, and in no time at all, she has stripped him naked. Helpless, Kiyokawa can only desperately cover his private parts.

"Are you still shy around your older sister?"

Ando Nozomi flicked the other person's forehead and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

She didn't think much about why Kiyokawa was playing in the water at the beach. This child had always been very opinionated and often went to the beach to daydream, looking at something.

Without thinking much, Ando Nozomi picked up Kiyokawa Kiri and headed into the bathroom.

The latter was taken aback at first, then immediately reacted and shouted, "Wait, I want to wash myself!"

"What does it matter? Your older sister always washed you when you were little..."

Ando Nozomi nonchalantly refused the other party's request and then took Kiyokawa Kiri directly to the bathroom.

And so, with her unsolicited help, Kiyokawa Kiri was forced to relive her childhood experiences...

To be honest, he has many questions in his mind. The woman in front of him named Ando is obviously very close to him, but why can't he remember anything about her? Is it related to his lost memories?

"Come on, don't move..."

"1

After taking a shower, Ando Nozomi dragged Kiyokawa Kiri to the sofa and forced her to blow-dry his hair.

Her technique was quite skillful. She would occasionally grab Qingchuan Wu's hair to make sure that every strand was blown on. In no time, she had tidied Qingchuan Wu up completely, and only then did she stop, satisfied.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be enjoying it, clearly treating this act of taking care of Kiyokawa Kiri as a game.

Kiyokawa Kiri was forced to wear the other person's short-sleeved shirt. Because he had turned into a child, the shirt, which was meant for girls, looked a bit too big on him, leaving him speechless.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Ando-neechan, what year is it now?"

"Ha, what are you saying, kid..."

After Ando Nozomi finished blow-drying Kiyokawa Kiri's hair, she wasn't satisfied and took out a few cotton swabs to clean Kiyokawa Kiri's hair.

She exudes a strong maternal aura and seems to have a particular fondness for Kiyokawa Mist. All her actions suggest that her relationship with Kiyokawa Mist is unusual, especially since they live so close to each other. Yet, Kiyokawa Mist has never had any memory of her.

"It is now 1983..."

'

Ando Nozomi patted her round thighs, signaling Kiyokawa Kiri to obediently lie down.

The latter resigned herself to her fate, knowing she couldn't go against Ando Nozomi's wishes, and had no choice but to obediently lie down.

However, he was still a little uncomfortable, mainly because apart from Tomie Kawakami, he had not had any intimate contact with other girls.

Not to mention how small and fragile I am now...

The body that has lost its trust, Omi Chika, Bloody Mary, and the cursed power within the body.

He felt much less safe now. This was a world of ghost stories, and even though it was his hometown, there might be some strange things here. Not to mention that he had traveled back in time. He didn't know what to do next.

Kiyokawa Kiri was deep in thought, even a little anxious.

However, the child's body seemed to have difficulty sustaining it. Before he transmigrated, this body seemed to have been soaking in seawater at the beach for a long time. After being carried back by Ando Nozomi and given a thorough cleaning, he was naturally a little tired, not to mention that the other party was coaxing him to sleep like a child.

"Hmph, hmph..."

Ando Nozomi's expression was very focused. She gently patted Kiyokawa Kiri's back while using a cotton swab to gently clean the dirt out of his ear.

This is bad, very bad...

Kiyokawa Kiri felt her eyelids drooping, and she was starting to feel sleepy.

Ultimately, he couldn't overcome the child's physical instincts and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

When Ando Nozomi noticed that he had fallen asleep, she stopped what she was doing. She first looked at Kiyokawa Kiri's peaceful sleeping face and smiled slightly, then slowly picked him up and tiptoed back to her room. Like coaxing a child, she held Kiyokawa Kiri and fell asleep together.

And so, time slipped away silently...

When Kiyokawa Kiri opened her eyes again, it was almost dusk outside.

He rubbed his eyes first, and after calming down, he noticed that he was being held in Ando Nozomi's arms.

What exactly is going on?

Kiyokawa Kiri tried her best to control herself so as not to wake the other person, and then slowly moved out of bed.

It wasn't until he climbed off the bed and stood in front of the full-length mirror that he could finally see his current appearance clearly. It was indeed the same person he was eight years ago. At this time, he was still very short. After all, boys usually develop later, and his development was even later than that of normal boys.

If I remember correctly, his period of rapid growth and physical development occurred during his second and third years of junior high school.

He is now a true elementary school student, not just someone who looks like one, but someone who is just a little kid right now.

"There must be something wrong. Is it the ritual array or did I recall the wrong memories before I traveled through time?"

""

Kiyokawa Kiri's brows gradually furrowed.

After thinking for a moment, he took advantage of Ando Nozomi's still-sleeping state and ran to the bathroom.

Using the mirror in the bathroom, he planned to experiment and see if he could use a psychic game to summon Bloody Mary. Unfortunately, he lacked sufficient materials and did not possess a high level of spirituality, making it impossible for him to succeed in the summoning.

Without the abundant spirituality that Omi Kin provided him, he would now be just an ordinary child.

"Am I going to be trapped here forever?"

Kiyokawa was incredulous, staring at her younger self in the mirror, speechless.

Although he has mastered the method of cultivating spirituality, he doesn't know how much time it will take to return to his former self. He has said repeatedly that even if he succeeds in communicating with the spirits, Miss Mary may not be able to help him. Even whether she recognizes him is a question.

If Kiyokawa Kiri had to resort to spirit communication games, he would have no other choice.

First of all, this is Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture.

Secondly, this was eight years ago.

Even if Kiyokawa Kiri ran to Tokyo, it would be difficult to find Yamamura Sadako. After all, Yamamura Shizuko seemed to still be alive at this time. If she hadn't died, Sadako wouldn't have come to Tokyo to stay with relatives.

And as for Tomie Kawakami, that goes without saying.

Her home in Roppongi Hills was a place she moved to later.

It was eight years ago, and the urban development plan for Roppongi Hills hadn't even been released yet. Where were you supposed to find it?

Even if we find it, what can we do with it?

Would you trick a nine- or ten-year-old girl like Tomie into believing you're actually her future boyfriend, and then have the two kids hug and kiss?!

Kiyokawa Kiri was starting to lose her composure.

So, putting those two aside, let's go find Hojo Noriko...

It probably still won't work.

Noriko Hojo said that she came into contact with supernatural tales by chance while participating in club activities in high school.

Eight years ago, she was probably only in high school, or maybe not even in high school, and I didn't even know which school she went to.

My head hurts...

"It seems the only option is to try and find Omi Chika; he should still be in Japan right now."

Kiyokawa Kirito muttered with a pained expression, "But it seems she enjoys eating people during this period."

"Will that guy even listen to me?"

He had deep doubts about this.

Going to find Omi is the only thing we can do right now, but it's extremely risky.

The current Omi Kin is not the Omi Kin who will be forced to coexist with him in the future. If he is not careful, he may become Omi Kin's meal. But things have come to this point. It is not realistic to let Kiyokawa Kiri stay in his hometown and live obediently for another eight years until he and Yamamura Sadako decide to travel through time.

He can't possibly wait that long.

Kiyokawa Kiri was feeling heavy-hearted, but just then, he heard a girl calling out from outside the restroom.

"Little Fog?"

"Hey, Xiaowu, where did you go?"

"Sister, I'm in the bathroom," Kiyokawa Kiri hurriedly called out.

Aside from how he traveled back to the correct timeline, Nozomi Ando is also a mystery to him.

Kiyokawa Kiri was eager to know the truth about his amnesia. He had originally thought that his amnesia was limited to the period before he woke up in the hospital—but the appearance of Ando Nozomi seemed to shatter his assumptions.

There are many things about the other person that I don't know.

It seems that amnesia is not as simple as it seems.

Kiyokawa Kiri thought to herself, and at the same time quickly opened the bathroom door, pretending to be obedient, and was picked up by Ando Nozomi again.

"Why are you running around like this? If you need to use the restroom, you can tell your sister..."

Ando Nozomi seemed a little overprotective, and even touched Kiyokawa Kiri's little bird with concern. Amidst the latter's almost stiff expression, she laughed heartlessly, "That's great, I thought you wet your pants."

"No, I won't wet my pants," Kiyokawa Kiri said, embarrassed.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Did I really get this close to this Ando-neechan?

He felt his face burning. He never imagined that someone with a mental age of over thirty would be so shy in front of a teenage girl. He could only desperately try to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ando Nozomi stopped teasing him and carried him to the living room, asking, "We didn't manage to buy any groceries today... Do you want to go out to eat with your sister?"

"Where are my mom and dad?" Kiyokawa Kiri couldn't help but ask.

"They're helping the priest prepare for the festival at the mountain shrine today, so they might not be back so soon..." Ando Nozomi patted Kiyokawa Kiri's head and comforted her, "It's okay, your older sister can sleep with you tonight."

No, I'm not worried about any of that at all!

Kiyokawa Kiri was somewhat sullen, but she didn't show any resistance.

After all, he had come to terms with reality. He realized that he probably couldn't resist Ando Nozomi now and could only let her take him out of the house.

It was dusk outside, which is the time of twilight in Japanese legend.

Honestly, if it were Kiyokawa Kiri in his prime, he wouldn't care about the twilight, but right now he's undoubtedly in a weakened state, and he knows that this world is full of supernatural tales, making it easy for ordinary people to be killed...

Therefore, after being carried away from home by Ando Nozomi, Kiyokawa Kiri carefully observed her surroundings, wary of whether she would be unlucky enough to encounter a ghost story.

This wasn't just him overthinking things; after all, in the week since waking up in the hospital, he'd encountered four or five incredibly powerful supernatural beings...
