Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Looking at the alluring girl so close to him, Kiyokawa Kiri's heart began to race uncontrollably.

No, a racing heart is the normal reaction... This is Kawakami Tomie, she's beautiful and naturally alluring, and she's so proactive, who could resist such a gentle offensive?

Looking at the other person's tightly closed beautiful eyes, appearing ready to be taken, Qingchuan Wu even felt a strange heat rising throughout her body.

Just when he was about to give in, the girl in his mind finally spoke.

[If you want to die, then kiss me. You should know what the consequences will be.]

A simple sentence instantly brought Kiyokawa Kiri back to reality, and his eyes cleared up considerably—if they really kissed, given Kawakami Tomie's abilities, he would definitely be successfully seduced.

Men who are seduced by Tomie Kawakami invariably choose to dismember her due to their perverse possessiveness.

Finally, Kiyokawa looked at the alluring girl waiting in front of him, hesitated slightly, raised his hand, and then symbolically patted her head.

"??"

Tomie Kawakami's smile froze on her face almost instantly.

She suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Kiyokawa Kiri with disbelief, and demanded, "What are you doing?"

"...A caress?"

Kiyokawa looked at the other person with a very innocent expression.

Kawakami Tomie was almost laughing in anger at the other person's reply. Her lips trembled slightly, and it was clear that she wanted to curse, but she held back in the end. Her originally cool and charming face was now unpredictable, making it impossible to tell whether she was in a good mood or a bad mood.

She stared coldly at Kiyokawa Kiri, seemingly speechless at his utterly clueless nature.

But this really wasn't my fault... Kiyokawa Kiri thought to herself that if it weren't for the supernatural tales, she would have kissed him without hesitation.

But he still knows which is more important, women or his life!

"Anyway, thank you so much for tonight." Seeing that Kawakami Tomie's expression was growing increasingly grim, and she seemed on the verge of exploding, Kiyokawa Kiri quickly coughed lightly and said, "As a way of repaying her, is there anything you'd like to eat tomorrow? I'll make a bento and bring it over so we can eat together?"

That's slightly more reasonable.

Tomie Kawakami's expression softened slightly, but she still spoke in a cold tone:

"Whatever you want, but let me make this clear first, I have very discerning tastes."

"I understand, I will do my best."

Kiyokawa Kiri gave a helpless smile.

The two tidied up the things scattered all around them before preparing to leave.

Kawakami Tomie's house was right next door, making it the most convenient place for her to go home, while Kiyokawa Kiri would have to walk quite a distance to the tram stop if she wanted to go home—clearly, Kawakami Tomie had no intention of seeing her boyfriend off and left without even looking back.

She's absolutely furious...

Judging from his behavior tonight, this guy is still the same arrogant, mean, and extremely petty Tomie Kawakami.

However, it does have its cute aspects.

Recalling the events of tonight, Kiyokawa Kiri felt a surge of indescribable emotion, so much so that she was somewhat absent-minded on the train home, her mind preoccupied with what kind of bento she should prepare tomorrow to appease the other person.

Wait, how did I end up playing the role of the boyfriend?

Forget it, there's no point in dwelling on this now. Tomorrow I'll just have to figure out how to cook some Chinese food.

Kiyokawa Kiri knew that Kawakami Tomie's personality included vanity and a love for high-end dishes such as foie gras and caviar, but it was too late now and she obviously didn't have enough time to prepare, so she could only start with the less common Chinese cuisine.

It happened to be 1991, right at the peak of the honeymoon period between China and Japan.

Chinese cuisine was very popular in Japan at that time—if you couldn't make foie gras and caviar yourself, but could cook an authentic Chinese meal, the other party probably wouldn't find much fault with it.

That's it, Chinese cuisine!

Kiyokawa Kiri silently kept this in mind, and then looked out the car window out of boredom. However, because the car was traveling underground, it was pitch black outside the window, and only her own face was reflected.

It takes about an hour to get from Minato Ward back to Nakano Ward. If the Oedo Line in Roppongi Hills is completed, it may be even faster.

But right now, Kiyokawa Kiri can only get home by taking several connecting trains.

Since he had nothing better to do, he silently asked himself, "Do you think I was chatting with you back then?"

According to Kiyokawa Kiri's speculation, since he was talking to himself, the only possibility was that he was chatting with the girl in his mind.

However, due to his amnesia, he couldn't confirm what they had talked about, so he could only place his hopes on the other person.

This time, the girl in his mind didn't avoid the topic.

She paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice:

I don't know, I only remember things before the Taisho era.

Taisho period?

How old are you, buddy?

Kiyokawa Kiri's eyelids twitched slightly, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

Realizing his meaning, the girl in her mind immediately let out a cold laugh, a beautiful laugh filled with contempt.

[I'm old enough to be your great-great-grandmother's great-great-grandmother. As for why I'm inside your body... I said I don't know, and I really don't know. But after seeing tonight's memories, I do have some guesses.]

"What conjecture?"

I shouldn't have been forced to lose my memory; rather, I should have actively given up that part of it.

The girl in my mind was slightly arrogant, but she certainly had the right to be.

Her memory was more complete than Kiyokawa's; she knew very well what she was and how many years she had lived.

But because she has lived for so long, in order to prevent her brain from failing, she often forgets some less important things regularly.

"So, the reason you don't remember things from before is because you forgot them?" Kiyokawa Kiri rubbed her face, complaining helplessly, "Don't forget everything! What's there to remember about things before the Taisho era?"

What I need to memorize are very important pieces of knowledge from ancient times. Without them, you would have died at the hands of supernatural tales long ago.

That point is undeniable.

The girl in my mind is actually quite useful; if used as an alarm, she's a perfect example.

"So you have a name, right?" Kiyokawa Kiri asked curiously.

Yes, it certainly exists. How could it not?

Every living being with high intelligence should have a name to call itself.

However, the girl lived for so long that she had several names.

The reason I didn't want to tell Kiyokawa Kiri before was simply because she always treated her name as just a label or code.

Seeing how curious the other person was, the girl, though somewhat reluctant, still tried to recall the name closest to her.

"Near Omi..."

Qingchuan Wu murmured.
