Seeing that Zi was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse, she had some impression of the name, but after thinking for a long time she could not figure out who Shitamachi Shrine Mother was.

Yuria wanted to ask one more question: Would you come over?

But seeing Kagura's cold and domineering gaze, he hesitated for a few moments, but couldn't get the question out, so he had no choice but to leave feeling wronged.

"Lord Tiandao, is there anything you need me to do?" Zi asked, puzzled, as the infirmary quieted down.

Kagura Tendou remained silent for a moment, then suddenly produced a black briefcase with a combination lock in his hand, which he then handed to Miko.

The combination lock box, redeemed with 1,000 points, is made of a material from the dark world, likely some kind of alloy, extremely hard and indestructible.

This was not the box of cultural heritage that Donglan had given him; he had kept those things at home, and Tiandao Shenle had no intention of letting them circulate for the time being.

"What is this?" Jianzi took it and found that although it was metal, it was not heavy, but rather extremely light and hard. The coded symbols on it were very regular, but she had never seen this kind of script before.

"There are twelve Shadow Crystals and a Blood Solidifier inside." As soon as Tendou Kagura finished speaking, Miko was startled. She felt that this thing was too precious. Why would it be suddenly given to her?

"Why..." she said, holding her suitcase, somewhat at a loss.

However, Kagura Tendo did not explain the reason, but directly told her the steps to open the combination lock box.

"Has something happened?" Miko couldn't help but ask.

"It's none of your business."

Kagura was very cold, but Miko had already gotten used to Kagura's attitude. No wonder Kagura gave the second Blood Magatama so readily; it turned out he had this plan in mind. Miko looked at the box in her hand and felt that it was both light and heavy.

"From now on, if you can find someone qualified, observe them quietly, judge whether they are qualified to open the mysterious gate, and then send them out," Tendo Kagura said.

Seeing that Zi was very surprised, he was greatly surprised.

Then she shook her head. She would do anything Tendo Kagura asked her to do, but this was the one thing she couldn't do.

"I'm not being modest, I really don't have the ability. You should do it."

"I grant you this right!" Kagura Tendo said, his tone flat and without any physical gestures, but his attitude was resolute.

"I can't do it..." Seeing that Zi was still making excuses, she really felt that she was not up to the task and that the burden was too heavy.

"You must do it, even if you can't. Miko, this is something you absolutely must do!" Tendou Kagura said.

Yotsuya Miko froze, staring at Tendo Kagura's calm face. Sensing something, she cautiously asked, "Are you going to do something?"

Kagura Tendo did not answer, but looked at Yurikawa Hana on the bed. She saw that Yurikawa Hana's brows were furrowed, as if she was about to wake up.

To open the mysterious door without experiencing much pain is truly an enviable talent.

This means that Miko is not fighting alone.

"I'm just going to do what I'm supposed to do."

"Can't you reveal it?" Miko whispered. She had always felt that Tendo Kagura was doing dangerous things, but she never thought that one day Tendo Kagura would hand over the Shadow Crystal and the Blood Body to her.

She already knew how precious these things were, and suspected that Tendo Kagura was making her final arrangements.

"This has nothing to do with you. What you need to do is protect this world!" Kagura Tendo said again.

He came quickly and left quickly, turning around and departing. Seeing Zi chasing after him, he asked, "Can you come back?"

"I'll do my best..." Tendao Kagura said.

"I am afraid!"

Kagura Tendo stopped and turned to look at Miko, who was staring at him with a determined look, saying, "I'm really scared..."

She recounted the news she had seen that day, mentioning what she had seen in the pictures. It was definitely not an ordinary evil spirit, but when she looked at it again in the afternoon, she found that all of those things had been deleted and she couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked.

The world of evil spirits is unstable; this is the information she has learned. She had thought she could rely on Tendou Kagura, after all, he is an unfathomable being.

But today, he suddenly handed those things over to me. It was very sudden, and it seemed like he was about to embark on a path of no return.

Seeing that Zi was completely unprepared, she was worried that he would never return, but she had no reason to stop him, nor did she know how to stop him.

“Miko…” Kagura Tendo began, his voice unusually gentle, “In this world, there has never been a hero born fearless.” He moved his fingers slightly, wanting to pat Miko’s head, but then felt that such a gesture was extremely frivolous and disrespectful to Miko.

He whispered, “Only mortals will step forward.”

Kagura Tendou left the infirmary, and no one knew how he moved freely within the girls' school without anyone noticing.

Yotsuya Miko stood in front of the door, gazing at the empty corridor. Her golden eyes stared silently for a long time, as if she could still catch a glimpse of Tendo Kagura as she left.

"Kimi, I think I just heard you talking to someone," Yurikawa Hana said in a daze.

She sat up, scratched her head, and looked like she wasn't fully awake yet. "Huh? Where am I?"

Seeing Zi silently turn around, leaning weakly against the door frame, she managed a weak smile.

"Hua, welcome to my world..."

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Thirty-Three: A True Dream

Kagura Tendo returned home early today, finished cooking dinner early, and waited at home for Suzuka to come back.

This time he turned on the light.

Suzuka returned later and found a lavish spread on the table, including tempura, fried beef steak, and crispy pork. Kagura Tendo sat upright with her eyes closed, seemingly resting and waiting for Suzuka to return for dinner.

Suzuka's cheerful and lively movements broke the silence. Her face was flushed, like a little deer. She threw her backpack onto the sofa, washed her hands, and plopped down in a chair, the chair legs creaking against the floor.

Kagura Tendo looked at Suzuka and asked softly, "Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah, I'm so happy!" Suzuka Ise grinned broadly. "After school today, Yuzuru-chan took me to the nearby park. There's a slide there, it's so much fun! She knows so many secret places, places she said she stayed when she ran away from home before, places no one can find..."

Suzuka is like a little sparrow, chirping away. At school, Yuzuru copied her homework, and she ate the snacks Yuzuru bought for her...

Kagura's expression softened as she looked at her excited face.

"Suzuka, do you want power?" Kagura Tendo said softly.

But Suzuka didn't hear clearly. She had just picked up a large piece of fried steak and thought it was fragrant, tender and delicious, with extremely delicate meat. A light bite released a burst of aroma and rich juices. She didn't know how it was made.

She had never eaten anything good before and couldn't tell that it was Wagyu beef. She also couldn't eat greasy food, otherwise she would feel nauseous. But Kagura Tendou had never made anything that she found unpalatable, and she couldn't explain why. She just thought these things were extremely delicious. She was struggling to eat the beef when she heard this and looked up: "Huh? Brother, what did you say?"

“It’s nothing…” Tendo Kagura slowly shook his head, then instructed, “Go to bed early tonight.”

"I understand!" Suzuka mumbled loudly.

"Don't talk loudly while eating!"

"Oh..." Her voice became much softer.

She had done as much exercise as she had in the past day and a half, and after eating a big meal, she was sweating all over. After finishing her meal, she ran into the bathroom and took a nice, relaxing shower. She washed herself clean, changed into her blue and white pajamas, and slipped into her bedroom.

Suzuka Ise turned off the light, covered herself with the blanket, lay in bed, and reflected on the day's events, unable to help but chuckle to herself.

However, her physical condition was extremely poor, and she was only able to persevere because of her excited emotions, when in fact she was already very mentally exhausted.

Thankfully, I haven't had a relapse of my old ailment recently. I wish I could be healthier.

The best is yet to come.

Suzuka Ise slowly closed her eyes.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

She sensed someone approaching and stopping beside her bed.

Suzuka instinctively opened her eyes, but all she could see was darkness; she couldn't see anything.

However, she had good eyesight and could vaguely make out the outline of a body in the darkness.

"Brother," Suzuka murmured softly.

But the figure remained motionless, as if frozen in place, standing there.

Suzuka stretched her small hand out from under the covers and gently turned on the light. She saw Kagura Tendo standing in front of her bed. Her gaze passed through his cold, aloof figure, and Suzuka noticed that the door had been closed.

There were only the two of them in the room.

Kagura Tendou stood upright, and it was unclear how long she had been standing there.

Suzuka rubbed her sleepy eyes, propped herself up on her elbows, and sat up. When she saw Kagura Tendo, she wasn't afraid at all. She smiled and then hugged Kagura Tendo's waist.

"Brother, your waist is so slim!" Suzuka touched it several times, showing a comfortable expression, feeling that the waist really felt great to the touch.

It is extremely resilient yet soft, perfectly proportioned, and has a unique fragrance.

It smells so good… Suzuka Ise’s ears twitched.

"Is Suzuka awake?" Kagura Tendo patted Suzuka's head, surprised that Suzuka would suddenly wake up.

Human consciousness is truly wondrous. Even though he hadn't made any noise, Suzuka was still able to wake up based on her sixth sense, though the child seemed to be half asleep.

The original plan was cancelled, and Kagura's eyes softened.

"Because I can feel my brother's presence," Suzuka said with a smile, clinging to Tendo Kagura's waist as if unwilling to let go.

"I woke you up," Kagura Tendo said gently.

"Hehe." Suzuka rubbed against him, looking comfortable, without saying a word.

Suddenly, she noticed a dark, triangular object next to her pillow. It was so dark that it seemed to swallow up the pillow's folds, forming an irregular pattern.

"What is this, brother?" Suzuka Ise held the object in her hand and found it to be icy cold, almost without any thickness, with two extremely sharp horns, but it didn't hurt her hand.

Kagura Tendo said softly, "It's called Shadow Crystal, and it can open the door to the mysteries for humanity..."

"Is it for me?" Ise Suzuka asked expectantly, her eyes sparkling as she sat on the bed, not even hearing what he was saying.

Her brother has never given her anything.

Kagura Tendo remained silent for a long time before nodding slightly.

"This is a very precious thing. You can give it away, but you must choose the right person and not lose it. You must not give it to bad people..." Kagura Tendo instructed Suzuka for a long time, warning her to take good care of it. He rarely gave such instructions to others. Even before, he had only told Miko twice, worried that Suzuka would not cherish the crystal.

He has already confirmed it, although it was only a few hours ago.

But Suzuka... doesn't have the aptitude for Shadow, or maybe she does, but not strongly enough, and there's no future in absorbing it... so it's fine this way.

Suzuka held the Shadow Crystal in both hands, cradling it to her chest. Hearing his earnest words, she exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, brother!"

Kagura Tendo said softly, "Suzuka, you have a cell phone now, right?"
