Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

As Kiyokawa Kiri closed the door, the hallway fell silent again, with only the faint light of the distant streetlights barely outlining her petite figure.

Kayako Kawamata's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and her timid eyes brightened in the darkness, her gaze fixed on the bread not far away.

It was only at this moment that the dark shape in her arms suddenly twitched, revealing its yellow-orange pupils—it was a small black cat curled up, gently rubbing against Kayako Kawamata's neck, making a soft "meow" sound.

Kayako lowered her eyes, her fingertips carefully stroking the cat's back, her movements as gentle as if she were touching a fragile treasure.

"Little Black, are you hungry?"

Kayako Kawamata's voice was barely audible, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

She slowly moved to the bread, quietly picked it up, and tremblingly tore open the packaging. Perhaps it was the faint aroma of wheat in the bread that made her stomach rumble uncontrollably.

Kayako's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she were a little embarrassed.

She didn't eat the bread right away, but instead tore off a small piece and held it to the little black cat's mouth.

"Here, have some first, Kuro." She said softly, her eyes filled with a morbid stubbornness. "This is from Onii-san, it'll be fine, don't worry..."

The little black cat seemed to understand her words, lowered its head to sniff, and then began to nibble at the food in small bites.

Seeing how much the little black guy was enjoying his food, Kawamata Kayako couldn't help but swallow hard. So she tore off a small piece of bread and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

The dry bread slowly melted in her mouth, but she found it exceptionally sweet.

"Onii-san..." Kayako Kawamata's face flushed sickly as she murmured to herself, "Before, my parents ignored me, and everyone else ignored me too. Only Onii-san would talk to me and give me food."

As expected, only Kiyokawa Kiri cares about me in this world.

This was the first time Kayako Kawamata had been treated like this, and she was so excited that her brain was trembling, and even her breathing became rapid.

Seemingly noticing that something was wrong with its owner, the little black cat jumped onto Kayako Kawamata's lap after finishing its bread and continued to rub its head against her chin. Kayako Kawamata then took the opportunity to hug it, gently stroking it while cutting the remaining bread into small pieces to share with the little black cat.

Although this piece of bread couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing, Kayako Kawamata's body seemed to be filled with other things.

She stared almost obsessively at the tightly closed gate of the Qingchuan family home, muttering to herself:

"It doesn't matter if others hate me, as long as my older brother is still watching over me."

"Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan, Oniisan..."

She kept repeating her murmurs, and finally gave a morbid laugh.

......

At the same time, Kiyokawa Kiri, who had just returned home and was about to take a shower, also heard the mocking voice in her mind.

How foolish...

He didn't take it seriously, remaining calm and composed. Only after he had put the clothes away did he casually ask:

"What's so stupid about it? It's just helping out."

[You can't just help with anything, you idiot.]

The girl in his mind was utterly sarcastic, as if she were mocking Kiyokawa Kiri for doing something wrong with good intentions.

However, the latter also had his own principles. Kiyokawa Kiri ignored the other party's mockery and went into the bathroom to take a shower—originally thinking that it would be about twenty years before the situation of "kindness being regarded as stupid" would occur.

I didn't expect the Japanese server to be so ahead of its time, having this kind of thing back in the 1990s?

He was too lazy to argue with the other party and said dismissively:

"It's just a loaf of bread, it's not a big loss for me... By the way, can you see me taking a shower?"

Who wants to watch you shower?

The girl in his mind seemed to laugh in anger at his words.

I have never seen such a shameless person, acting as if they really want to see it.

That child is a past incarnation of some being; in a way you can understand, she will become something like a ghost story in the future.

If you don't want to die, you'd better stay away from her.

"Ghost stories??"

As soon as Kiyokawa Kiri turned on the showerhead, he froze on the spot.

He was caught off guard when a cold water was poured over his face, making him shiver and bringing him back to his senses.

Damn, I almost forgot this is Japan, a country with many supernatural tales.

Kawamata...Kawamata coconut?

Kiyokawa's expression stiffened slightly; he finally understood why the other party had called him stupid.

That cute yet pitiful child from just now was actually the future infamous Kayako? Kayako, who possesses incredible abilities like infinite resurrection, teleportation, mind control, and even time reversal?

It's important to know that Kayako's reputation in the ghost story world is far more terrifying than that of Tomie Kawakami—Tomie Kawakami's abilities aren't abnormal, after all, these days ghost story writers are all immortal. The reason she's famous is because her reproductive ability is disgusting.

But Kayako is different; she's virtually invincible in every way.

The only ones who can rival this guy are ghost stories of the level of Sadako Yamamura.

Other ghost stories are less than half as strong as Kayako's, and Kayako's abilities can be infinitely enhanced, which is one of the basic settings of Ju-on.

Thinking of this, Kiyokawa Kiri's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

"Didn't you already figure it out?"

The girl in his mind ignored him, only letting out a sneer, as if she were calling Kiyokawa Wu stupid.

Well, now, one problem has barely subsided before another arises...

Before Tomie Kawakami's troubles were resolved, Kayako Kawamata was brought in as well?

With mixed feelings, Kiyokawa Kiri turned up the water temperature slightly, then sighed dejectedly and let the water wash over her body.

How could I be so unlucky?

No wonder I didn't have much of an impression of her before; it turns out I encountered a younger version of Kayako...

According to the original setting, Kayako actually has two surnames. In her childhood, Kayako took her father's surname and was called Kawamata Kayako. Later, when she got married, she took her husband's surname and became Saeki Kayako.

He only remembered the surname Saeki and completely forgot that Kawamata was actually Kayako's surname.

However, on the other hand, Kawakami Tomie was already a high school student in this era, while Kayako was still just a child.

Is this a hodgepodge of supernatural tales?

Kiyokawa Kirito pressed the shampoo button and lathered his hair with considerable frustration. He asked sullenly:

"What did you mean by 'past life' before?"

She will grow into a force to be reckoned with in the future. You're interfering with her past now; what do you think she'll become?

A few simple words instantly left Kiyokawa Kirihiko speechless.

It's hard to say what Kayako will become in the future, but she herself is definitely going to die...

In the original work, Kayako was a genuine psychopath.

Because she was ignored as a child, she longed to be cared for.

In the original work, a boy gave her a handkerchief, and as a result, Kayako, a yandere, became infatuated with him.

Not only did she eat the other person's vomit and peep on their sexual activity, but after becoming a ghost story, Kayako also cruelly murdered the boy's entire family, including his pregnant wife.

That's absolutely brutal!

Will I become that boy's "replacement"?
