Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Even with her extensive experience and knowledge, Kawakami Tomie was momentarily stunned.

It's not her fault, after all, Ishii Soichi looks like a middle school student, but he says he has a wife.

Anyone would be stunned in this situation...

Fortunately, while Kawakami Tomie was somewhat bewildered, Kiyokawa Kiri was well aware of the situation.

After all, the most valuable thing for a time traveler is their experience.

He knew Ishii Soichi's story better than anyone else.

When he heard the other person claim to have a wife, a terrifying image flashed uncontrollably through his mind, and he immediately fell silent.

"This parallel world is still a bit too bizarre..."

Kiyokawa took a slow breath, her expression somewhat complicated.

He guessed that the other party's wife was very likely also a ghost story, most likely "Lady Yuan" from the same series of short comics—although Lady Yuan was described very little in the comics, there was no doubt that she was also a rather powerful ghost story.

And here's another interesting little story... In the original comic, there's a haunted house chapter.

In this chapter, Souichi marries Ms. Yuan and has a child. The child inherits Ms. Yuan's cannibalistic tendencies, so Souichi opens a haunted house and regularly invites passersby to feed their child.

However, this chapter is actually just a nightmare; in theory, it didn't actually happen.

However, considering the unique nature of Souichi's abilities, it might be some kind of prophecy, so no one can be sure whether Souichi will actually marry Ms. Fuchi... But now Kiyokawa Kiri can confirm that in this parallel world, Ishii Souichi did indeed marry Ms. Fuchi.

"My wife is also a ghost story, but she's different from me, who is born with a ghost story."

Ishii Soichi spoke somewhat haltingly.

Perhaps because he was chewing on nails, he mumbled, "My wife used to be a fashion model, but because she was beautiful, she caught the eye of the higher-ups in Aum Shinrikyo, and that's when our feud started."

Upon hearing this, Kiyokawa Kirito immediately perked up.

Even Tomie Kawakami became very interested. Judging from the timeline, Aum Shinrikyo should have attacked Ishii Yuki before attacking her, but not by much. Therefore, she and Ishii Yuki could be considered to be victims of the same group.

And the story of Ishii Fuchi in this parallel world naturally differs somewhat from the version that Kiyokawa Kiri knows.

Although both were fashion models, this time they were targeted by the Aum Shinrikyo cult—these lunatics tricked Ishii Gen into going in, and then a lot of things happened...

Ishii Soichi didn't say what happened, but it wasn't hard to guess from his ashen face.

As a result, Ishii Gen was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, and eventually succeeded in becoming a humanoid ghost story, which allowed him to escape from Aum Shinrikyo.

Then she met Ishii Souichi, and the two went through many hardships before finally getting married—I don't know why, but there was a lot of content in this part, but Kiyokawa Kiri didn't want to hear their love story at all!

What he wanted was to work together with Soichi Ishii and Gen Ishii.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Both Ishii Souichi and Ishii Gen are ghost stories that can be communicated with and possess strong abilities.

We all share a common goal, so there's no reason for us to give up.

"I see......"

Kiyokawa Kiri was confident about the matter, but still cautiously said, "As for Ishii-kun's thoughts, we have already shown our sincerity. If your wife is also willing to help, the reward can be increased to 20 million yen."

"Do you know what kind of organization Aum Shinrikyo is?"

Ishii Soichi didn't rush to agree, but instead pursed his lips.

He and Ishii Gen also wanted to take revenge on Aum Shinrikyo.

But the reason this religious organization has reached its current position is far from simple... When Ishii fled, it was because the high-ranking members of Aum Shinrikyo were all abroad, creating a certain gap in the organization's power structure.

But this doesn't mean that Ishii Gen could easily gain access to the Aum Shinrikyo cult.

If the latter were made into a game instance, it would have to be at least hellish in difficulty.

According to Ishii Fuchi, Shoko Asahara, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo, was originally just an ordinary human being. However, he heard about ghost stories from somewhere and began to painstakingly collect them after establishing the religion.

With his immense power, Shoko Asahara actually succeeded in collecting some supernatural items.

The rusty scissors that Kiyokawa Kiri encountered earlier are one of them; they can be used to summon the Slit-Mouthed Woman through sacrifice.

Although this kind of supernatural prop requires a blood sacrifice, it has one advantage: ordinary people can also use it.

But Shoko Asahara was clearly not satisfied with this. He wanted even greater power; he wanted to become a god—only in this way could he overthrow the Japanese government and create his own utopian world.

Shoko Asahara then went even further, setting his sights on people like Tomie Kawakami, and even trying to see if he could "create" ghost stories himself.

And Ishii Fuchi is one of the forced success stories...

This happened many years ago, and now that so much time has passed, no one knows exactly how far Shoko Asahara has developed.

It would be wishful thinking for them to deal with Aum Shinrikyo on their own.

"I don't care, but I'll definitely run if things get bad..."

Ishii Souichi muttered something for a while before finally stating his opinion.

"If you really want to deal with Aum Shinrikyo, you can count me in. But let me make this clear first, I won't be stupid enough to throw my life away for revenge. I advise you to think it through."

Soichi Ishii emphasized it several times.

In his view, causing trouble for Aum Shinrikyo was no problem. He also secretly cursed members of Aum Shinrikyo quite a bit in private, and actually cursed several of them to death.

But causing trouble and starting a direct war are two different things.

With Shoko Asahara's current strength, even if he and Ishii Fuchi were combined, they would definitely not be his match.

That guy is very likely not far from becoming a god; Ishii Soichi once had a dream about it.

In his dream, Shoko Asahara was holding an unknown stone statue and meditating in a secret room. Ishii Soichi knew this was his prophetic dream, so he didn't take it to heart. But what frightened him was that Shoko Asahara in the dream suddenly opened his eyes and then gave him a chilling smile.

At that moment, Ishii Soichi's scalp felt like it was about to explode.

Shoko Asahara definitely has a problem, and a big one at that.

Souichi Ishii strongly suspected that the other party's strength had reached another level, to the point that he could even react to someone's dreams about him...
