Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

"ha?"

Upon hearing Kawakami Tomie's question, Kiyokawa Kiri's lips twitched slightly.

He thought the other person would ask something else, but he didn't expect them to ask such a question. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer them.

The reason he helped Kayako Kawamata was simply because she was too young. He felt that as a normal person, he couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing about her. Who knew what would happen if she fell into the hands of the Yakuza?

You should know that these Yakuza are not good people...

Furthermore, Kayako Kawamata will turn into "Ju-on" after her death, which will be another big problem.

A combination of factors made it impossible for Kiyokawa Kiri to stand idly by.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not a pervert."

"Really... So what type do you like?"

After asking the question, Kawakami Tomie's beautiful eyes were fixed on Kiyokawa Kiri.

It seemed as if she would immediately turn hostile if the other party's answer did not satisfy her.

Seeing this, Kiyokawa Kiri opened her mouth several times as if to say something but then stopped, looking somewhat helpless.

He has no time to care about "romance" right now. After all, with Omi revealing his identity, the truth about his amnesia has become increasingly elusive, and there's also the matter of Asagiri Yuuko that needs to be resolved.

And even putting all of that aside, I still have to live my life...

As a normal person, integrating into normal society means learning, working, and living a good life.

As for dating, he really hadn't thought about it much.

But looking at Kawakami Tomie in front of him, he knew that if he didn't answer well, the other party would definitely not let it go.

After a brief silence, he said helplessly, "I like pretty girls, like you..."

"There's no sincerity."

Tomie Kawakami muttered something under her breath, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She could tell that Kiyokawa Kiri was just giving her a perfunctory answer, but what did it matter?

She was very confident in her charm. Even if Kiyokawa Kiri was just going through the motions now, she believed that as time went on, he would eventually fall at her feet, which would make things even more interesting.

If Kiyokawa Kiri just blindly fell in love with him like other boys.

What's the point of having someone you can summon and dismiss at will?

"Let's assume what you're saying is true, but I still have to remind you that the girl named Chuan You seems to have serious family problems. My lawyer and I got some information from the criminal police..."

"It seems that Kawamata's father offended the head of the Eguchi-gumi. I don't know what that guy did, but he caused a lot of trouble."

"Now that Kawamata's father is missing, the Eguchi-gumi probably won't let this go so easily."

Kawakami Tomie looked at Kiyokawa Kiri and said meaningfully, "Are you still planning to get involved in this matter to the end?"

Kiyokawa Kiri paused for a moment upon hearing this.

The wise choice would be to leave it alone, but since I've already gotten involved, there's no reason not to, right?

There's also a way to comfort yourself: the sunk cost of investment.

Thinking of this, Kiyokawa Kiri casually said, "I don't know either, but if I run into them, I'll probably help them."

"Yeah......"

Tomie Kawakami seemed to have anticipated this answer.

With her hands behind her back, she said slowly, "But speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be so strong."

"And I heard there were four or five people there, how come you weren't injured at all?"

It's not that there were no injuries...

It's simply a mermaid's ability.

That's why they say eating mermaid flesh can grant immortality; Kiyokawa Mist's current self-healing ability is already comparable to being immortal.

Moreover, according to Omi Chika, the immortality gained from mermaid flesh is the truly perfect immortality.

After all, there are ways to break Kawakami Tomie's immortality. Many ghosts from American and Japanese horror stories have methods to counter their immortality and break this ability. However, it seems that there are no ways to counter mermaids. At least Kiyokawa Kiri doesn't know of any urban legends that can counter mermaids.

From this perspective, the abilities I currently possess are quite impressive.

The only risk is that if the mermaid story gets out, it could attract even more terrifying beings.

Kiyokawa Kiri didn't want to get into trouble over this, so she said softly:

"I don't know what happened either, it's probably related to my amnesia... Anyway, my body is not quite the same as a normal person's body right now."

"You've gotten even more handsome." Kawakami Tomie glanced at him and said casually.

"Please don't joke around; I meant my physical condition."

"I'm not kidding, you do look a little more handsome than yesterday."

Tomie Kawakami spoke with great certainty.

She has excellent eyesight and notices the changes in Qingchuan Wu every day.

She was quite certain that the other person's body seemed to be developing towards a "better side" every day, like evolution in nature. The other person was evolving almost every day, and this evolution was almost imperceptible without careful observation.

Tomie Kawakami was able to know this because she had discovered from the beginning that the other person was able to resist her temptation.

From then on, she began to observe Kiyokawa Kiri, intentionally or unintentionally.

He gradually became convinced of his own belief that this guy was indeed getting better every day.

"Anyway, I didn't realize it myself..."

Kiyokawa Kiri walked beside Kawakami Tomie and couldn't help but sigh.

However, the image of Omi Kin in his mind offered an explanation.

Mermaids' abilities are actually related to adaptation and evolution. Mermaids living in the sea can also grow legs and walk on the shore. Edo-period ghost stories and legends about mermaids actually include this aspect.

What Tomie Kawakami was saying is probably that you are evolving subtly, which ultimately means you are constantly digesting my flesh.

Omi Kin's tone sounded somewhat resentful, and Kiyokawa Kiri almost couldn't hold back after hearing it.

What do you mean by "I am subtly digesting your flesh"? Can you please not speak so frighteningly?

Furthermore, whether he actually devoured Omi is still debatable.

How could you jump to conclusions so quickly?

Tomie Kawakami didn't notice Kiyokawa Kiri's complicated expression. She thought the other woman's silence was because the events of the night had been too shocking—in fact, she felt that she might be Kiyokawa Kiri's senior in this regard, as Kiyokawa Kiri had used her abilities to kill her parents when she was very young.

However, judging from Kiyokawa Kiri's expression, she guessed that the other party did not want to talk about this matter anymore.

Therefore, after following the other person to the station, she took the initiative to walk into another passage.

In the final moments before parting, she turned to Kiyokawa Kiri and whispered:

"Don't overthink it. If you encounter this kind of trouble again, remember to call me early..."
