My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Chapter 44: A Haunted House Could Also Be a Door God's Haunting (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

After much explanation and a great deal of effort, Yoko, whose memories only extended to the age of thirteen, finally accepted the reality with some skepticism—that she had woken up to find herself having lived through more than twenty years and had two daughters older than herself.

Such a reality would be a tremendous shock to anyone, let alone a junior high school student who is only thirteen years old.

If it weren't for the facts before her eyes, showing her photos of herself and her daughter growing up over the years, and the incredibly approachable young man vouching for her, she would have thought it was some kind of prank show.

The intense impact almost made her faint again; if Li Wei hadn't reacted quickly and caught her in time, she would have definitely fainted.

After calming Yoko down, Li Wei took the other two Yukinoshitas out of the room and went to another bedroom to talk to them alone.

It is basic medical ethics to soothe the patient's emotions and avoid discussing the illness in front of her to prevent panic.

"Well... how should I put it, almost all of her memories from the age of fifteen onwards are gone from her soul."

After examining Lady Yukinoshita again, Li Wei shook his head and made his diagnosis: "Her physical condition is good, and her brain has not been impacted, so her memories after the age of fifteen must still be intact. It's just that a short circuit occurred for some reason, making it impossible to access that content, so for her, that memory is as if it has been dug out."

"Not only that, because I poured too much magic into her just now, her body has developed excessively, and she has developed a neotenic reaction."

"What do you mean?" Yang Nai asked, puzzled. These words were still too difficult for her.

"It means that although her appearance and figure haven't changed, her body has completely reverted to the state of being around twenty years old. If you take her to St. Juliana Hospital for a checkup now, you might even find that she's no different from a virgin, and she's even grown a hymen!"

"I see. As long as everyone is alright, that's fine."

Hearing Li Wei's answer, the Yukinoshita sisters breathed a slight sigh of relief. These were all minor details and didn't need to be paid too much attention to.

Then, little Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask with concern, "So how long will it take for Mom to recover?"

"I don't know. This situation is very rare, and we can't give an exact timeframe at all." The youth organization carefully worded their medical advice to avoid any ambiguity: "We can only say that it depends on how long the problem of her memory blockage will last. She may recover tomorrow, or she may never recover."

"What exactly is it that blocked Mother's memories?" Yukino asked anxiously.

"I don't know either; this is the first time I've seen something like this."

At this point, Li Wei shook the golden statue of the Happy Heavenly Bodhisattva that he had just taken out of the shrine in his bedroom: "But I think it must be related to this thing."

There's no such thing as a simple blessing, where a simple prayer can grant eternal youth. If it were that easy, why would so many people need to go through the arduous process of spiritual practice?

Taking the main road is indeed slow, but it's the right way, and slow is fast; taking the shortcut is certainly shorter, but it's also easy to make a mistake and lose everything you've accumulated over the years.

All so-called gifts of fate are actually priced according to the bid.

"So, regarding how to treat Yangzi... I mean your mother's problem, let her rest for a while first. I can prescribe some calming medication, but that won't cure the root cause."

The boy packed the Bodhisattva statue into a box, intending to take it home and study it carefully: "There's no need to worry too much. The exorcism team is already investigating the situation, and they should be able to give us the results in a short time."

"Thank you very much anyway."

The older Yukino rose and bowed. Then, seemingly feeling that this etiquette, associated with the spirit of craftsmanship, was not formal enough, she stood up again, knelt, and bowed her head. The younger Yukino, seeing her sister's actions, immediately followed suit.

Even in Japan, this would be considered a great gift.

Li Wei accepted it calmly without any discomfort.

"Without you, my sister and I really don't know what we would do."

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

With the box containing the statue slung over his shoulder, the boy prepared to leave. Before departing, he asked with some curiosity, "Now that your mother is unable to handle affairs, what will your family do next?"

"Thanks to you, because many people saw you and me dancing that night, no one will have any designs on our family in the short term."

“Besides, I know a little about how the family business operates, so I can manage for a short time.” Yang Nai sighed. “But it can’t last too long. If Mom doesn’t show up, there will definitely be problems.”

"So, is there anyone else who knows about this?"

"The servants in the house were explicitly forbidden from speaking out of turn immediately, so there shouldn't be any problems for a while. But ultimately, it still depends on you." Yang Nai sighed, feeling utterly helpless about the trouble Li Wei was causing.

But she has no other choice now.

"I understand," Li Wei solemnly promised the sisters in front of her.

"Hmm~"

……

So, Li Wei, who had only been away from home for a day, returned home once again. His original plan to take a week off now seemed completely unnecessary.

When he pushed open the door, Arcueid, like a lost golden retriever, immediately jumped up and into the boy's arms, shaking him frantically.

"what happened?"

The boy carried Arcueid all the way to the living room, then put her on the sofa and asked her this strange question.

"Your house is haunted! It's haunted!"

"It's normal for ghosts to exist. Didn't you see them with your own eyes, Sister Yama? I offer incense to her every day." Li Wei said dismissively.

"It's not this ghost."

The foolish vampire desperately tried to explain: "It's another strange spirit wearing Japanese-style armor and wielding a long sword. My attacks have no effect on it."

"You mean Sister Liuli? Then there's even less to worry about."

Upon hearing this, the boy showed a knowing expression.

When Rin Tohsaka rented this house to him, she mentioned that after he moved in, he would occasionally see ghosts wearing great armor. However, they were completely harmless and did not cause any harm to anyone else.

It's as if they're just wandering around the house, simply fulfilling some wish, and will disappear after a few laps.

It doesn't communicate with anyone, never damages the furnishings in the house, and only attacks other invading spirits. Even Enma-nee said it wasn't harmful.

Sometimes she would inexplicably appear in his dreams, simply standing by and watching him, doing nothing.

At first, Li Wei was very wary, but after a few years he realized that nothing was wrong and he gradually got used to it.

Rather than calling it a ghost story, it's more like a guardian deity in one's own home.

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Arcueid asked, half-believing.

"Really, no problem." The boy pinched the vampire's cheek. "Want to go take a shower together?"

"Okay~"

Arcueid, whose attention had been diverted, immediately forgot what had just happened and pulled the boy into the bathroom.

Neither of them noticed that the famous sword they had obtained from Mr. Huang Li, the Dojigiri Yasutsuna, suddenly flashed with a cold light.

Then it vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

Chapter 45 In today's dream, the older sister took the initiative.

Night, in Li Wei's dream.

When the boy opened his eyes today, what he saw was not the familiar Land of Shadows, nor the Ice Queen's palace, nor any other familiar scene.

Instead, it is a very simple and rustic garden with a strong Japanese tradition.

On the wall hung elegant Chinese poems and landscape paintings, while on the other wall hung longbows and quivers; in the corner stood a very imposing Japanese armor, sharp-edged and heavy, definitely not the kind of intimidating display piece you see at anime conventions; on the long table were not tea sets or snacks, but war games and maps, military books were displayed in the bookshelves, and in the courtyard outside the door, you could vaguely see things like spears and targets.

The overall style suggests it was the residence of a high-ranking samurai family in ancient Japan, and of a rather high status.

"What's going on? Are there new guests?" Li Wei wondered in surprise.

Previously, although the visitors in his dreams came from all over the world, they all followed the same pattern: no new person would arrive before the previous visitor left.

Skadi is an exception, but considering that she and Scáthach are essentially the same person, it still fits this pattern if we have to say something.

Li Wei was absolutely certain that Scáthach had not left at all.

Even more so because she had previously said that her life was endless and that she longed for death, the boy wondered more than once if his teacher Scáthach had lived from the Age of Gods to this day.

Even if he opened his door tomorrow morning and found the Queen of Shadows standing in front of him blocking his way, he wouldn't be surprised.

However, the boy was certain he had never seen this scene before.

That is, when he felt puzzled and was about to get out of bed to walk around and check the situation.

A long-haired female warrior clad in heavy armor and with a long sword at her waist pushed open the door and entered, her eyes meeting Li Wei's as he was about to get out of bed.

"What's going on? So this is Sister Liuli's house." The boy breathed a sigh of relief and realized where he was.

This had happened more than once before, with Ruri entering his dream. There was even an instance where he was replenishing his mana with Scáthach-sensei when Ruri suddenly walked in, making the boy very embarrassed. Scáthach-sensei, on the other hand, found it more exciting.

This time it's just a new scene added, so it's still normal.

What's abnormal is what happened next.

As if ignoring the boy, Sister Liuli silently removed her helmet, armor, battle robe, and armor, revealing her fair skin, long, flowing hair, pretty face, voluptuous figure, and...

An astonishing amount of R.

As it turns out, even a gentleman like Li Wei, upon seeing such an astonishing abundance, would be irresistibly drawn in, much like an asteroid caught by the gravitational pull of a star.

This is the reproductive desire hidden in human DNA, existing alongside eating and sleeping, and it cannot be changed.

However, upon realizing his rude behavior, Li Wei immediately turned his head away from her, feeling ashamed.

"My cultivation is still not good enough. My instinctive desires seem to be getting stronger and stronger lately. Is it possible that 'The Wisdom of Solomon' is going to fail me too?" he thought. "And so this is what Sister Liuli looks and has a figure like. This is the first time I've seen her like this."

Because Liuli was always fully armed before, her gender could only be determined by her exposed long hair and some female features.

Then, the older sister, who was only wearing a bathrobe and looked very cool, sat on the edge of Li Wei's bed.

Then the boy suddenly realized something: this was her room, and the bed he was on belonged to someone else.

Just as he was about to get out of bed to make room, Gujing Liuli, who had never made a move before and was like a guardian spirit, suddenly reached out and hugged Li Wei. Her amazing strength made it difficult for him to break free without hurting her.

"Sister Liuli!?" The boy looked at her in surprise, but found that the older sister's eyes were still empty, as if all her actions were done by instinct.

She lay on the bed with Li Wei in her arms, her body pressed tightly against the boy's, thighs touching thighs, her arms wrapped around his waist as if she were hugging a pillow, completely enveloping Li Wei in her fragrant embrace.

This made Li Wei feel a little strange, yet also a little too comfortable.

"What's wrong with Sister Liuli?" The boy felt a little strange, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

But one thing is certain: she won't hurt herself.

Since things have come to this, I might as well just go to sleep. After all, being held by someone while sleeping won't make me pregnant.

With that thought in mind, Li Wei gave up resisting, turned around and hugged the sweet, soft, and incredibly comfortable Liuli sister, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

……

When Li Wei woke up the next day, he wasn't in a particularly good mental state.

Although Ruri looks like a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko, her sleeping posture is not elegant. She often does things like rubbing against a pillow in her sleep, or pulling the boy Sisi into her body as if afraid he would run away. This puts a great strain on her mind and body, resulting in poor sleep quality.

Even when I finally managed to fall asleep, I had a lot of weird dreams, like falling into the ocean of milk from ancient Indian mythology, being overwhelmed by the seawater and not knowing what to do, or dreaming that I was adopted by Sister Liuli and raised as her child, eventually marrying into her family.

In short, it was extremely troublesome.

The boy, who had just opened his eyes and was lost in thought, stared at the ceiling, his mind a jumbled mess, not wanting to do anything.

Then a phone rang—it was Isayama Yomi.

"Hey Avi, I've dug up all the information you were looking for about the Tachikawa school of Shingon Tantra." The voice on the other end of the phone, a sailor uniform with a long ponytail, sounded tired but excited: "I'll send it to your email later, remember to check it."

"That's really true, Huang Quan," Li Wei praised sincerely, and then asked with concern, "Are you alright? Were you working all night?"

If that's the case, that's going too far. Next time, I'll definitely bring two cases of milk to visit them.

"It's okay, I'm perfectly healthy."

Feeling a little guilty, she glanced at the pile of coffee bags in the trash can, then gulped down another lethal dose of caffeine. With panda eyes, Isayama Yomi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Um...do you still stand by your promise?"

"An agreement?" Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant: "You mean you can make a request of me? No problem, you can make ten requests of me."

What could a good child like Huang Quan possibly ask for? All she could ask is to accompany her to see her parents or something.

For over a decade, the friendship between the two sides has been unbreakable, as solid as that of Sister Heizuka.

"A word is settled!"

Chapter 46 You are all highly skilled

Sitting in front of his computer, holding a blended coffee he had just ordered from Rabbit House, Li Wei browsed the email Huang Quan had just sent him.

Chino's cooking skills are as good as ever, and the desserts taste great. Even the boy, who doesn't have a sweet tooth, doesn't mind having a little more.
