With her golden hair still carrying a faint fragrance, Mu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, said nothing, and silently watched Luna and the ghost's clash and battle, lost in thought.
It's quite obvious that the old school building is indeed haunted.
Why wasn't this discovered before?
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the pale-faced girl. She couldn't see her, but from the banging sounds all around, even a fool would know what had happened.
As for myself and Luna, is it because of evolution that I can see ghosts? And Luna, evolution not only strengthened her body, but also gave her some kind of mysterious power.
Animals are more sensitive than humans to find the ghosts hiding in the old school building.
It's like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Meow!!!"
Luna landed on the ground, her tail held high, her limbs powerfully braced against the earth, her pupils gleaming as she glared menacingly at the ghost who had been forced to the edge of the old school building. She showed no fear whatsoever, and roared fiercely.
The ghost hovered by the window, confronting Luna. They seemed evenly matched, but it was truly embarrassing to be evenly matched with a cat! Besides, the most dangerous person here wasn't the cat, but the human boy.
The ghost was aware of its situation.
"Stop it..."
It was a girl's voice! The shadow on the ghost slowly dissipated, and the mysterious ghost of the old school building finally revealed its true form: a stunning blonde girl.
His body seemed to materialize, and his golden hair swayed slightly.
Sakurazawa Tomomi was stunned. She saw the other person and also saw the ghost's true face.
"A girl? Xiaoxiao, she—"
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head and walked up. "I didn't expect there to actually be ghosts here, Luna."
The irritable black cat immediately transformed into a well-behaved girl, suppressing its hostility and rubbing against Mu Xiaoxiao's trouser leg. However, it still looked warily in that direction. Although she didn't know what a ghost was, its presence made her very uncomfortable, so she didn't like it.
“There’s no point in continuing this fight, let’s just give up,” Miss Ghost said expressionlessly, but Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were strange. This girl seemed a bit stubborn.
"Meow~".
“Miss Ghost,” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t expose her, and nodded with a smile, “It was originally a misunderstanding. I can sense that you have no ill intentions towards us. You are probably not an evil spirit, otherwise I would not have been safe and sound during this time.”
Mu Xiaoxiao sized up the beautiful mixed-race girl with delicate features; her blonde hair wasn't dyed.
The reason he was so calm was the exclamation mark above her head.
That's right, the wish list has appeared.
"..."
"I never expected you guys would actually find me," the girl floated on the window, biting her lip and speaking with a complicated expression, then glared fiercely at Mu Xiaoxiao with her big eyes, "And you, you pervert!!"
"abnormal?"
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"To do such lewd things at school, what else can you be but a pervert?" the ghost girl said angrily. The scene and the image shocked and stunned her.
However, while the ghost girl was angry, she couldn't help feeling jealous and curious. She died young and never enjoyed her youth, let alone experienced love or sex, so she inevitably had regrets.
She sighed sadly.
"Oh, you... you saw it all?" Mu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed.
“You all saw it,” she pointed at Yumi Sakurazawa and sneered, “You were all shouting really loudly.”
Sakurazawa Tomomi stuck out his tongue, not shy at all, and muttered: You come and call too.
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at her sideways and said, "You were peeking from behind? Looks like you're not exactly a respectable girl either."
"Pah!" the ghost girl spat, her face flushed red. "That was beyond my control!"
“Um, Miss Ghost,” Yumi Sakurazawa waved and greeted her, “were you a student from your old school? Did you die in the old school building for some reason, murder? Accident? So you’ve been staying here ever since?”
Clearly, there are many similar rumors surrounding the old school building, such as former students dying there and turning into ghosts, and the recent death of Coach Dong Gang adds some credibility to these stories.
“Of course not,” she said, hands on her hips, her mood visibly somber. “I’m not from here, nor am I a student here. I am indeed dead, but not here.”
"As for how I got here, I don't know either."
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. "What's your name?"
The blonde girl glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Qi Xia."
“Shichika Shichika,” the ghost girl said, then suddenly revealed a wicked smile, “is already over eighty years old.”
"Huh?!" Sakurazawa Tomomi exclaimed in surprise.
"Although I've been in a ghost state for the past seventy years," Nana Nana explained calmly, though her expression was somewhat bitter.
As Mu Xiaoxiao listened to the two girls talking, his mind raced. Seven families and seven summers? He had no recollection of them. After evolving, his mental strength had greatly increased, and his distant memories of Earth were clear, but he still had no recollection of this ghostly girl.
An unfamiliar female lead? She's in the same situation as Tohsaka-senpai.
On the surface, Nana was talking to Sakurazawa Tomomi, but in reality, she was secretly watching Mu Xiaoxiao. She had been observing him for a while and knew how amazing this boy was. Those props were even more terrifying and exaggerated than tsukumogami.
If it were him, he might be able to help me.
"Speaking of which, since you've been observing me these past few days, it means you know my secret," Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, revealing a strange smile.
“Yes, I know,” Qi Xia nodded in acknowledgment. “I also know your name, Mu Xiaoxiao. Don’t worry, I won’t reveal it.”
Miss Ghost spoke calmly.
"Talking about it doesn't have much credibility."
Mu Xiaoxiao's meaningful hint.
“I can stay by your side, and you can do whatever you want to me,” she said, as if she had made up her mind, making a startling statement, “but in exchange, I hope you can help me.”
She actually brought it up herself. The ghostly girl looked at him intently, as if she saw hope in him. "Help me return to my hometown and save my sisters."
Ding~.
[Wish List (Seven Families and Seven Summers): Return to my hometown and rescue my sister]
Chapter Seventy-Five: Heartbreak
Seven families and seven summers had already died seventy years ago.
But she did not disappear after death; instead, she became a ghost and was bound by a contract with that terrifying thing—the Tsukumogami. As a ghost, she lived in that paradise and even received power from the Tsukumogami.
But the price is that he will always be controlled by it, forced to make various weapons in order to enhance the power of the tsukumogami. For the sake of his sisters, he can only obediently listen to it.
The ghost girl clenched her fists.
The days that should have continued indefinitely took a miraculous turn. For some unknown reason, the contract was broken, and I inexplicably left the paradise and appeared in this city, in this old school building.
Although she had escaped from the cage, her sisters were still there, which made Qi Xia very worried.
“Unlike me, my sisters didn’t actually die. They stayed in that paradise for seventy years. If only they were the ones who escaped…”
The blonde young lady ghost slowly recounted her story, which deeply moved Sakurazawa Tomomi, who listened with tears in her eyes. Mu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, calmly ate her dinner, seemingly unconcerned. She had obviously gone through the story in her mind, but still had no recollection of it.
I'm not going to dwell on that anymore.
“Miss Nana is so pitiful,” Sakurazawa Tomomi felt some sympathy for the ghost girl’s plight, but even so, she did not make a decision on her own, since she trusted Koko.
Qi Xia knew that only this young man could truly help her. She gazed at him, and Mu Xiaoxiao blinked, pointing to the dinner in front of her, "Grandma Qi Xia, would you like some?"
Qi Xia's face darkened instantly, and she bit her lip, almost breaking down. "Don't call me grandma! Although I've lived for many years, I'm still a young woman. Absolutely, absolutely not allowed to be called that!!"
As expected, age is a major taboo for girls.
Sakurazawa Tomomi chuckled inwardly.
"Besides, I'm a ghost now, so there's no point in eating..." Even as she said this, she secretly swallowed.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, finished all the ramen broth, wiped her mouth, and said, "I understand your situation. I can help you, but as you said, Miss Qixia, you'll need to pay a price yourself—"
Hehehe, Mu Xiaoxiao's face smiled sinisterly in the dim light, looking a bit like a villain.
"After all, dealing with a tsukumogami is a very dangerous thing," Mu Xiaoxiao said, crossing her legs and gently stroking Luna, who was lying next to her eating fish. "This is the first time we've faced a supernatural being as an opponent. We should charge a higher reward."
He had the air of a big shot.
“I know,” Qi Xia said, having already prepared herself mentally. “I’m willing to pay any price. Thank you very much.”
"The question is, where is the paradise Miss Nana mentioned?" Sakurazawa Tomomi asked curiously. "It certainly isn't in Tokyo, is it?"
The ghost girl shook her head. "That's a remote rural area in Kyushu."
"Kyushu?! That's too far!" Sakurazawa Tomomi exclaimed.
"Yes, I don't have the ability to go there," she sighed softly. Of course, even if she did have the ability, she wouldn't be able to fight against the spirits; she would just be a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Whether it's far or not doesn't matter to me. Distance is not a problem in front of the Anywhere Door. We can go to Kyushu right now."
"real?!"
Qi Xia stared at the boy with wide, excited eyes. Sakurazawa Yumi also stood up, but was pulled down by Mu Xiaoxiao. He tapped the girl's head and said, "Don't go and join in the fun."
"Huh? Why? I want to go too~." The cherry blossom girl covered her head, her eyes brimming with tears.
"This is also my first time facing such a legendary supernatural being. What if something goes wrong?" Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her cheek. "Besides, I didn't plan to take action tonight. I need to at least prepare. Miss Qixia, is that alright?"
When Mu Xiaoxiao asked the question, the ghost girl remained calm and said, "It's up to you to decide."
After saying this, her figure slowly disappeared. This ghost girl really came and went without a trace. But now that Luna is here, she can see not only ghosts, but also all sorts of strange things.
"Luna, you're so reliable, let me have a taste~".
"Master~. Meow~."
When it dawned the next day, the rain had stopped, but the sky, still shrouded in dark clouds, remained gloomy.
When Shiina Chizuru walked to her shoe cabinet, she was still feeling heavy-hearted, and her face was visibly haggard, as if she hadn't slept well the night before.
What Mu Xiaoxiao said to her yesterday dealt a heavy blow to the girl's heart, and she still hasn't recovered. Is it true that Teacher Yueye is married?
"Shiina-san."
As soon as she was mentioned, Shiina Chizuru's pupils contracted as she looked at Tsukino-sensei, who was greeting her. She was nervous and uneasy. "Good morning, Tsukino-sensei."
"What's wrong? You look terrible."
Her heart was filled with unease. She wanted to know the answer, but she was also afraid of it. That was why she hadn't gone to Tsukino-sensei to confirm it yesterday. Now that the person she secretly loved was right in front of her, Shiina Chizuru was caught in a dilemma.
"It's nothing," the girl hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the person she secretly admired was about to leave, she finally couldn't hold back and called out to him, "Tsukino-sensei!"
Seeing him turn around, the girl's chest heaved a few times, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that you're married, Tsukino-sensei?"
"Huh? Who told you that? I'm not married."
Chizuru Shiina's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
"It's just an engagement for now; the wedding will have to wait a while," Tsukino-sensei's next words plunged the girl back into despair, extinguishing the glimmer of hope she had just ignited. "But how did you know I have a girlfriend, Shiina-kun?"
She couldn't hear what Tsukino-sensei was saying anymore. Her head was buzzing, her ears were ringing, and she was completely dazed. Girlfriend? Engaged? Yes, although Tsukino-sensei wasn't married, he already had a girlfriend and someone he liked.
And they will soon achieve their goal.
"So, does this mean I'm heartbroken...?"
Snapped.
A hand pressed down on the girl's shoulder, waking her from her dazed state. Turning her head, she saw Mu Xiaoxiao's familiar face, but to Shiina Chizuru, that smiling face was truly detestable.
Even though I know it has nothing to do with him, I'm still angry!
"you……"
"Are you very sad?" He interrupted the girl, having just witnessed everything. "It seems you've confirmed that Tsukino-sensei has someone he likes, that he has a girlfriend. You must be very heartbroken right now, right?"
"Did you come here specifically to mock me?" Shiina Chizuru deliberately put on a stern face, her voice trembling.
"No, no, no, I'm here to comfort you," Mu Xiaoxiao said with a strange smile. "Shiina-kun, don't you want to win back the person you like?"
"Varied……"
“They’re just engaged, not married,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with high spirits. “Take the initiative! Win back the person you like, Shiina-kun, I believe you can do it.”
"come on!"
Mu Xiaoxiao patted the girl on the shoulder and then walked away leisurely.
