His thoughts gradually returned, and he realized how out of control he was being.

She held tightly in her arms a younger person who was about ten years younger than her.

Think of it all.

A heat more intense than ever before surged from the depths of Mrs. Narumiya's heart straight to her brain, instantly flushing her entire pretty face, and even her snow-white, delicate neck and earlobes were tinged with an alluring blush.

……

"I'm so sorry, Natsume-kun!"

"I...I was rude!"

"Just now, I... I just... I just couldn't control my emotions for a moment..."

"After all, Xiao Kui... is safe and sound... that's really... really good..."

Mrs. Narumiya hurriedly released her arms, took a step back, and gently touched her burning cheeks with her fingertips. Her eyes darted away, and she didn't dare to meet Natsume Ryo's gaze. Her voice also became a little stuttering because of her guilty conscience.

Moreover, the more she talked about it, the more she herself felt that this reason was somewhat untenable.

After all, everyone knows that no one would suddenly hug a junior for so long. Thinking of this, Mrs. Narumiya felt shy and embarrassed.

But the more Natsume Ryo reacted like this, the more his mischievous side became, and he had the idea of ​​teasing Mrs. Narumiya.

then.

……

“I understand, Mrs. Narimiya.”

"You're just too tired."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Narimiya looked up and stared blankly at Natsume Ryo.

"It's normal for anyone to lose control of their emotions after experiencing something like this."

"but……"

"Please remember that as a mother, it is truly remarkable that you have been able to remain calm after experiencing so much in just a few days."

"..."

It would be better if they just yelled at me!

Natsume Ryo's words were like sparks thrown into boiling oil.

This instantly caused Mrs. Narumiya's heart, which was already pounding wildly with embarrassment, to completely explode.

Mrs. Narumiya suddenly felt her brain burning hot, as if steam were about to rise from it. Her mind went blank, and all her thoughts were occupied by the sudden, heart-pounding palpitations. She stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

In the end, they had no choice but to flee.

……

When Natsume Ryo followed closely behind and slowly entered the living room.

Three figures with distinct styles had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, Natsume-kun..."

"When Mrs. Narimiya ran downstairs just now, her face was as red as a ripe apple..."

"Moreover, their hurried footsteps made it seem... as if they were hiding from something."

"What were you doing upstairs...?"

"..."

"You think too much."

This is nothing.

Hearing Geng Xizi's words, which were clearly meant to tease him,

Natsume Ryo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Mrs. Narumiya is just worried about her daughter and is exhausted, so her emotions are a bit unstable."

"Oh, is it so?"

"I thought that you, Natsume-kun, did something to Mrs. Narimiya upstairs, which scared her away."

Upon hearing this, Geng Xizi deliberately drew out her words, her smile becoming even more playful.

The irony in his words was self-evident.

Are you very free?

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo's eyes twitched. Without any hesitation, he leaned down and lightly patted the pair of firm, rounded, soft curves encased in the modified sailor uniform skirt.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

"—!"

Geng Xizi immediately let out a short scream, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly covered the spot where she had been hit, and two alluring blushes instantly appeared on her pretty face, which always carried a lazy and charming air.

"Natsume-kun! You...you! H!"

"We're in the same boat."

Natsume Ryo shrugged, appearing indifferent.

"..."

Now, Geng Xizi was completely speechless. She just sat on the sofa, rubbing the spot where she had been hit, her slender eyes flashing with an indescribable strange light.

That's when.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Mrs. Narimiya came out of the kitchen carrying a wooden tray.

She seemed to have regained her composure, forcing a gentle smile onto her face. However, the suspicious blush on her cheeks and her evasive gaze, which dared not meet Natsume Ryo's eyes, betrayed her inner turmoil.

Her steps were a little unsteady, and when she placed the teacups one by one on the low table in front of everyone, her fingertips were even trembling slightly, so much so that some of the tea spilled.

"Please, please have some tea..."

After Mrs. Narumiya finished speaking, she seemed to have completed a difficult task, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She sat down on the sofa opposite her, placed her hands neatly on her knees, and straightened her back.

Her demeanor was so reserved, like that of a junior visiting an elder for the first time, a stark contrast to her status as the mistress of the mansion.

Natsume Ryo picked up his teacup, gently blew away the rising steam, and took a sip.

The tea has a delicate aroma, a smooth and mellow taste, and a subtle sweetness.

"Very good tea, Mrs. Narumiya's tea-making skills are excellent."

Natsume Ryo put down his teacup with a crisp, light sound and calmly gave his evaluation.

"Huh? Ah... th, thank you..."

Seemingly surprised by the praise, Mrs. Narimiya paused for a moment. Then, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little, and the smile on her face became much more natural.

"I'm glad Natsume-kun likes it..."

"By the way, Auntie."

"How is Xiao Kui now?"

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Geng Wujiang finally mustered up her courage and looked at Mrs. Narumiya with a worried expression.

"Yes, I went up to check on her just now. She was sleeping soundly, her breathing was steady, and the color in her face had returned to a lot."

When her daughter was mentioned, Mrs. Narimiya finally showed a genuinely gentle smile, and the worry in her eyes dissipated considerably.

"That's good." Geng Wujiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

A brief silence fell over the living room.

During this time, Mrs. Narimiya opened her mouth several times, seemingly wanting to say something to Natsume Ryo. But the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back, her eyes darting around, clearly still engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

"..."

Facing this circumstances.

Geng Wujiang looked at this and then at that, and finally thought about it.

As a junior, I felt it was better to remain silent and bury my head in my tea in this situation.

……

"By the way, Mrs. Narimiya."

At that moment, Natsume Ryo's voice suddenly rang out.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Narumiya immediately sat up straight and responded.

"I have already examined your daughter's health. Although I have cleared away the demonic energy and she is out of danger, she is still weak due to the depletion of her vital energy."

"In the coming period, it is best to focus on a light and easily digestible diet, and supplement her diet with more nutrients to help her recover as soon as possible."

"Ah... okay, okay! I've got it!"

As soon as the topic of her daughter came up, Mrs. Narumiya's attention was immediately diverted. She nodded vigorously and even tried to take notes.

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo casually offered a few more tips on how to take care of one's body and soothe one's mind.

This knowledge naturally comes from a vast modular knowledge base. Although these are just basic conditioning methods, they are already extremely effective remedies for ordinary people.

It even includes some treatment methods that even professional doctors may not be aware of.

Lady Narumiya nodded repeatedly as she listened.

……

"correct."

"I happen to have some nutritional supplements here that can replenish vital energy. You can dissolve them in warm water and have her drink them. She should be back to normal by tomorrow morning."

As Natsume Ryo spoke, a thought flickered in his mind.

Boo!

A soft sound.

A small, gourd-shaped glass bottle appeared.

It's definitely not filled with health supplements or anything like that.

It's actually the [Health Regeneration Potion] from the original Minecraft.

One bottle of [Life Restoration Potion] replenishes the vital energy that Cheng Gongkui has lost.

It's more than enough.

"Oh, yes."

"Also, please accept this as well."

Then, Natsume Ryo thought for a moment and decided that since he had already given it to them, he might as well help them to the end.

It’s better to be prepared.

then.

With a slight thought, Natsume Ryo took out a rather exquisite-looking amulet wrapped in red brocade from the item list of the [Urban Ghost Stories Module].

[A Mother's Guardian Amulet (Special Item)]

[Type: Guardian Item / Emotional Support Item]

[Effect: Created by a mother on her deathbed, pouring all her maternal love and unwavering devotion into protecting her child, this amulet can automatically ward off all spiritual attacks.]

Boo!

Natsume Ryo handed it to Mrs. Narimiya.

"Huh? This is it?"

"amulet."
