"I don't really understand either. Why would such a talented person like Mr. Hanekawa stay in a high school to be a teacher?" The green light came on, and Lian started the car and crossed the intersection.

He was not very familiar with the route, so Kazusa had to start giving him directions.

"I said, if you can't even remember the road, how can you drive?"

"Then you come and drive?"

"get down."

"Really?"

"A little bit..." Hesa ​​pursed her lips.

Because of my family relationship, I have some experience in driving a car.

"Forget it then..." Lian was so scared that she gripped the steering wheel tightly, fearing that He Sha would reach out to snatch it.

This car broke down for unknown reasons a month ago. This time, the reason for driving without a license is clear, so there is really no hope.

"Really? If you're not convinced, just get your driver's license first..." Lian glanced at Kazusa sideways, "Are you over 18?"

In Japan, you become an adult at the age of 20, but you can take a driver's license test at the age of 18.

"It's full." Hesha responded sullenly.

She had just turned eighteen at the end of May, but she was preparing for a competition at the time. She had planned to celebrate with Lian after winning, but she ended up losing the competition and was no longer in the mood to talk about it.

"When will it be full?"

"Before the game..."

"The end of May, what date is it?"

"Twenty-eight."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lian felt very strange.

No matter how quiet he is, his birthday will still be remembered, and his parents and friends will still congratulate him on his birthday.

"……is it necessary?"

"Is it not necessary?"

Lian threw the words back to her exactly as they were, and Hesha didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Forget it. If you pass the exam, I will give you a car along with my congratulations." Lian thought for a moment, "I will give you a car."

"Aha?"

"It's not expensive, just a small family car." Lian said with a smile, "Or does your mother plan to buy one for you? Then I'll change to another option."

"Do you always send things like this directly?"

Kazusa felt that her common sense was challenged.

It’s not that this kind of thing is strange, but she thinks that kind of thing is usually only said by people in their thirties or forties and above.

"Oh, then, you want something else? A musical instrument?" Lian said, "You have one at home, right? The one at school is also good... or do you want something else, like a violin? In that case, I have a Stradivarius in my collection that I can give you. I hope you don't play it like a saw."

“…No need.” Kazusa had no plans to learn the violin.

After all, it is difficult to beat him in piano, let alone violin. The gap in level is so big that you can't even beat him.

The two chatted about random things and soon arrived at Touma Hesa's house.

Hesha was about to open the door, but Lian stopped her, "Wait a minute, I remember there was an umbrella in the car—"

He reached out his hand and pulled out an umbrella.

"It's not necessary to take just two steps." Hesha didn't want to respond.

"Can you tell me that again while you're looking at the rain outside?"

"Oh." Hesha took it reluctantly, "Come in too."

"what?"

"It's raining so hard, aren't you afraid your car will get hit?"

"Too."

Lian also felt sorry for his precious car. If it crashed again, he would consider repairing it and selling it as second-hand car and buying a new one.

So Lian parked the car outside the door, and walked with Hesha through the five or six meter long yard holding an umbrella and opened the door to the entrance.

“……”Hesa stared at the shoes on the ground.

Lian also saw it.

He had seen those shoes.

Not just because of the currently popular luxury style, but also because...the shoes once appeared in the mirror world.

In the mirror, Touma and Sa are at home.

"Your mother is back—"

Before Lian could ask, Hesha had already kicked off her shoes and ran upstairs in two steps.

Chapter 190 Chapter 1 Dissension ()

In a sense, this was Lian's second visit to Touma's house.

——The time when I picked up Touma to go to school after the incident, I didn’t even enter the door so it doesn’t count.

He knew where the spare slippers were, so he put his dripping umbrella into the umbrella tube at the door and prepared to go look for it.

At this time, I noticed that in addition to Kazusa and her mother's shoes, there was also a pair of custom-made Berluti leather shoes on the ground. Judging from the style, they were the type with DIY designs.

The man's shoes and Touma Yoko's shoes were placed side by side, forming a sharp contrast with the messy shoes that Kazusa had kicked off.

It seems that not only has Touma Yoko returned, but the rumored future father of Kazusa has also followed Yoko to Touma's house.

I had a feeling that this would soon develop into a family ethics drama that was perfect for morning broadcast, but Lian couldn't just walk away.

Previously, that guy caused a change that covered the entire Tokyo simply because of his inner shortcomings.

Even though the matter was resolved in the end and Hesha seemed to have gotten over her worries, Lian knew that this didn't mean there were no problems.

As pure humans, Touma and Sa have a more obvious affinity with psychics than others.

If anything strange happens again this time, Lian will be able to respond immediately.

He sighed, found a pair of spare slippers to change into, turned into the hallway, and saw the open front door to the living room.

There were faint sounds of footsteps upstairs, and it could be heard that Dongma and his daughter were upstairs, and there was indeed another person downstairs.

Half out of curiosity and half out of curiosity to watch the fun, he walked to the door of the living room and saw a man sitting on the sofa, flipping through a thin booklet.

Black trousers and a light grey crew neck shirt, with a black casual suit draped over the armrest beside him.

The man was holding something that looked like a sheet of music and was flipping through it.

He was dressed in a rather casual and light manner, yet his every move exuded the aura of a nobleman.

Looks very young, around 25 years old?

Isn’t Touma Kazusa’s stepfather too young?

Just as he was thinking this, the man put down what he was holding, turned his head slightly and smiled at Lian at the door.

The moment his eyes met those light ink-black eyes, Lian almost reached out and stabbed into the chest to pull out the demon sword Xindu.

But in the end, he restrained his body movements and just stood there a little stiffly.

He realized that he had been too careless and had not noticed that this man was not human.

"You... don't seem to be Yaozi's child, right? She said she has a daughter, but I've never heard that she also has a son who is prettier than the girl." The man looked at Lian with interest.

"Uh, no."

Although his tone was calm, Lian almost suspected that the illusion that had given him a chilling feeling just now was an illusion, and he could only explain it awkwardly.

After all, I failed to conceal my inner vigilance just now.

It's not that I have any bad impression of the other person, it's just an instinct inherited from the blood.

"You don't have to be so wary of me. I'm not your enemy. I was just brought home by Yoko today. She said she wanted to introduce me to her daughter." The man retracted his gaze. "Besides, a special mixed-blood vampire like you has your own mission. No one can go against the arrangement of fate."

"...You know me?"

"I've heard of this, but this is the second time we've met..." The man smiled and shook his head, "This is the second time we've met like this."

"The second time?" Lian didn't remember meeting the other person.

The man showed a slightly surprised expression this time. "That's right, you really don't remember people's appearance. A few days ago, I asked you and a girl to show me the way. Do you remember me?"

"...Oh..." Lian was speechless.

Only now did he remember who the man who asked for directions was.

At that time, he felt that the other party was not simple, but he just passed by him and passed by him before he had time to pay attention.

Especially the men at that time behaved more naturally, like ordinary human beings.

Or did the other party deliberately reveal his true face at this time?

"The world is full of strange things that people cannot easily see. Sometimes I even pass by people on the streets. I don't want my existence to cause too much commotion, so I always disguise myself when I go out to relax."

As if he saw through Lian's doubts, the man gave his own answer.

"I see." Lian finally relaxed.

He didn't know where the other party came from, but at least he had no attitude towards him, and he came today as Touma Yoko's lover and Touma Kazusa's future stepfather.

If you think about it, I am still a junior.

"Come to think of it, have you ever held the Heart Ferry?"

“…Yes, there is.” Lian was stunned. “But it’s not the real thing that Shishi Leishengshilang had. It’s just a replica with the same function.”

"Can you lend it to me for a look?" The man stood up. "I wanted to take another look four hundred years ago, but unfortunately, when I returned to Japan, the strange killer had already turned into ashes."

"All right……"

Lian had no way to refuse, or rather, she couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.

Every word the man in front of her said hit her right where she was most vulnerable, making Lian feel that he must have other intentions but that they would not harm her.

Then Lian finally reached out his hand this time and stabbed into the chest. After the demon sword twitched in the blood, the wound and blood quickly disappeared, returning to its original clean state.

"Give……"

Lian held the knife in both hands and handed it over.

The man held it in his hand, holding the handle with his right hand and pinching the blade with his left hand to admire it.

"It is indeed a good sword. Only a vampire who has seen the real thing can create such a similar sword." The man praised with a smile, "Any monster that encounters this sword is like encountering a natural enemy, and will retreat after one strike... But——"

"but?"

"There are always things it can't cut. Please don't rely too much on its power to deal with weird things." The man's fingers stroked the blade, "Otherwise it will only become a hindrance to you."

"What do you mean?" Lian couldn't help but ask.

He actually didn't use it very often, so he didn't know the meaning of this sentence.

"This is not something I can casually reveal, just like the all-knowing lady you know who always says nothing." The man shook his head and returned the demon sword to Lian. "You will know when the time comes."

"Are you also that kind of person who knows everything?" Lian asked after retracting the knife.

"No, I just know a little bit about some important things." The man smiled slightly, "I don't think I have introduced myself yet?"

"Uh...what's your name?"

"Sakuraba Hideyuki is a lazy guy who likes to buy and sell collectibles everywhere."

"Sorry, the magic sword is not for sale..." Lian thought he wanted to buy the magic sword.

"I have no interest in taking away what others love."

As he spoke, the man named Sakuraba Hideyuki stretched out his finger and pointed upwards.
