"It'll be fine after a little rubbing." Asahi ran briskly to the beach, her small feet, clad in lace socks, leaving footprints in the sand.

The tides are very frequent at night, wetting the beach again and again.

Occasionally, small fish, shrimp, and shellfish will also swim up.

The girl had only run on the beach for a short while when her socks became wet and almost transparent.

It clung tightly to her delicate ankles, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.

She bounced around on the beach, stood in the water, and when the tide came in, she would jump with all her might.

If she lands ahead of the tide, she will smile easily and happily.

If she falls behind the tide, she will jump again.

Xia Wuzhao walked behind, specifically jumping in places where the tide couldn't reach and where the beach was still dry.

Asahi Aoi stood in the tide, smiling and waving at Natsugiri Kai: "Hurry up~~~"

Xia Wuzhao simply watched her silently, without going over.

As Aoi stood with her hands on her hips urging him on, a tide suddenly rolled in.

"ah--!"

Sunflower, who was standing with her hands on her hips, was swept away by the tide and fell to the ground.

He was soaking wet.

Her hair was also wet.

The tide kept lapping at her, washing away all her socks.

Xia Wuzhao looked at her, making Asahi Aoi blush.

She stood up angrily, lifting her skirt and stomping on the tide.

They splashed water everywhere, kicking and stomping as if they were dancing.

Then one foot slipped, and he was swept away by the tide once again.

The girl stood up, embarrassed and annoyed, and this time she refused to wade in the seawater.

Instead, he ran over and hugged Xia Wuzhao tightly.

After letting go, she put her hands on her hips and said to Xia Wuzhao, "Hmph, now you're soaking wet too."

Before Xia Wuzhao could say anything, she laboriously pushed Xia Wuzhao to the seaside.

The tide immediately soaked Xia Wuzhao.

This time it was Aoi's turn to laugh. She twirled around as if she were dancing.

At the boundary between the sea and the beach, stepping on the tide.

Xia Wuzhao walked slowly, making it particularly difficult because her shoes were filled with water.

She finally stopped jumping when Aoi got tired.

He was panting, supporting himself on his knees, but he quickly stood up.

She complained, "I'm so tired."

"So, are we going back?" Xia Wuzhao asked.

But Aoi just glared at him and said, "No way."

"What should we do next?"

"Look at the moon," Aoi said, pointing to the sky.

They could see half a moon, and after waiting for a while, a gust of wind blew by, dispersing the dark clouds.

The moon appeared fully in front of the two of them.

Finally, Aoi clenched her fist.

She turned to look at Xia Wuzhao, blinked, and said, "Do you know what I'm going to say now?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "I don't know."

"Then what do you think?" the girl asked, her tone a mixture of shyness and reproach.

“I don’t know,” Xia Wuzhao said, “but perhaps it would be better if I thought about it a little more.”

His words made the girl frown.

She said, "You always say things that are incomprehensible to people, Natsume."

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, clenching her fingers tightly, and said to Xia Wuzhao, "Once you've made up your mind, don't hesitate anymore."

"This is what you gave me, Xia Wu."

She laughed happily: "Now you've said those things, is this my final test?"

The girl said proudly, "However, I won't hesitate, Xia Wu. I won't fall down three times for the same mistake."

As she said this, a smile seemed to appear in her chestnut eyes: "And it looks like you know what I'm going to say."

"I don't know." Xia Wuzhao shook her head.

"You really do enjoy playing pranks on people."

The girl said with dissatisfaction, "Fine, I'll say it then."

She stopped smiling and looked at Xia Wuzhao seriously, saying, "Xia Wuzhao, I like you. The girl named Asahi Aoi likes you."

The shimmering moonlight reflected in her chestnut-brown eyes as she slowly closed them.

She stood on tiptoe, tilted her little face up, and stretched out her hands.

"A monster has appeared!"

Xiao Ai cheered and suddenly flew into the sky, with large clumps of black mist appearing from Asahi Aoi's body.

Xiao Ai fused them together, turning them into a tiny seed of a demon.

A small mirror-shaped doll fell to the feet of the two who were embracing and kissing.

Asahi Aoi gripped Natsugiri Kai's back too tightly, and suddenly her strength slowly gave way.

Xiao Ai picked up the Demon Seed and the Demon Doll and stuffed them into Xia Wuzhao's pocket.

Xia Wuzhao carried the unconscious Asahi Aoi to the stairs and placed her there.

A short while later, Aoi woke up.

But her eyes were sharp as she looked at her clothes and then at the socks on her feet.

Let's take another look at Xia Wuzhao's clothes.

She said coldly, "Xia Wu, may I assume that you have done something illegal?"

Xia Wuzhao pointed to the beach: 'You fainted there just now, I just carried you here.'

"Really?" Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai with sharp eyes: "I don't think I remember very well, but it feels like I was drugged and then deliberately sent here."

"Then how about calling the police?" Xia Wuzhao said casually.

“No need.” Asahi Aoi tossed her hair, crossed her legs, and looked at Natsugiri Kai, saying, “If I really was drugged, then that audacious guy wouldn’t have just taken off my socks.”

Xia Wuzhao looked at her and said, "Then why don't you go to the beach and look for it? Maybe it was washed away by the tide."

“It’s as if you’ve seen it with your own eyes, Natsugiri-kun.” Asahi Aoi looked at Natsugiri Kai.

"Because a tenant is planning to commit suicide, as the landlord, I always have to check on things to prevent the person from actually dying. This means my rent will have to drop."

"Is that so?" Aoi Asahina snorted and stood up, walking towards the abandoned station.

However, after walking for a while, she turned around and looked at Xia Wuzhao who was following behind her and said, "Xia Wuzhao, I feel like I know you very well."

Xia Wuzhao said casually, "We're in the same class, and the teacher even let you rent my house. It would be strange if we weren't familiar with each other."

“That’s true.” Aoi Asahi finally nodded, but then let Kai Natsugiri walk ahead.

She stood behind, wringing out her damp skirt.

June 29th, exam.

On June 30th, the exam results came out, and Asahi Aoi ranked first in the grade. She received a scholarship.

On July 1st, the students went to Second New Tokyo.

Most of the students cheered, but Aoi Asahi was troubled by a strange dream.

In her dreams, she would always see Xia Wuzhao's back.

Chapter 91 Gentle as the Wind

Second New Tokyo is a city piled up like a mountain, as if God picked up a handful of skyscrapers from the plains and threw them into the mountains.

Numerous bridges form an intricate network of urban arteries, with winding, looping roads crisscrossing the entire Second New Tokyo.

This is the most densely populated city, but its most beautiful sight is corpses.

—The corpse of a building submerged in water.

Since that torrential rain many years ago, Tokyo has been submerged.

The entire city was moved here and renamed Second New Tokyo.

The Second New Tokyo is divided into three parts: the Minato Ward, the Plains, and the Mountainous Area.

The mountainous areas have the largest area, while the plains have the smallest. The port areas are the most bustling, the plains are the most prosperous, and the mountainous areas have the most residential areas.

The school is located in the mountains, and there are large residential areas around it, where Xia Wuzhao's house is also located.

After obtaining the Demon Seed, he made a wish.

"Move into a new house near a school in Second New Tokyo, and you can make 10,000 yen a day for ten years."

This decision was made after careful consideration.

Although the power of the Demon Seed is limited, it can still yield greater benefits within the rules.

If you only wish for a house, or to find money every day for 99 years, then only one wish can be fulfilled. However, by reducing the difficulty, you only wish for a new house, and the wish is shortened to finding money every day for ten years.

Then all of these can be achieved.

The owner of the house was an elderly man without children. When he approached Xia Wuzhao, he said that he had known Xia Wuzhao's grandfather for a long time.

"Your grandfather and I used to run an office together in New Tokyo, but his bad temper made it impossible for him to survive."

"Who knew that after so long without contact, he would leave all by himself. It's really awful; we promised to be buried together."

"If you're going to study in Second New Tokyo, you can stay at my house. However, I'll be staying at this old man's house for a while first."

Xia Wuzhao had no objection to this and readily agreed.

The house was a detached house, not exactly high-end, but Xia Wuzhao was already quite satisfied. Though small, it had everything she needed.

Every morning when Xia Wuzhao goes out, she takes a mirror doll with her.

This mirror doll is only the size of a palm and is made of knitted yarn. The frame is made of black yarn, and the inside is a mirror made of white yarn.

The mirror reflected a pair of sharp, chestnut-colored eyes.

"The Evil Mirror, this monster is called the Evil Mirror. Legend has it that it is a mirror that was lost in the forest, and no one knows why it appeared in the forest."

"And any hunter who enters the forest and catches its eye will be drawn into malice, their temperament will change drastically, and they will become inhuman butchers."

"So, why did Aoi Asahi turn out like that?"

"Although the monster has entered Aoi Asahi's heart, the Evil Mirror is devouring Aoi Asahi's courage. Because courage is the foundation of malice, only with enough courage can malice be born."

After listening to Xiao Ai's explanation, Xia Wuzhao understood.

He said, 'So, what are the powers of this evil mirror?'

Xiao Ai said, "It's like taking away a person's courage and malice. After a brutal murderer has his courage and malice taken away, he will be sad and cry even if he steps on a cockroach."

"Moreover, it passively emits a deterrent effect, reducing the troubles that may be encountered in daily life."

Today is July 3rd, and all the students who came to Second New Tokyo have found houses and have places to live.

Today marks the official start of the new school year, and everyone is quite excited about it.

As Xia Wuzhao sat on the tram, she could occasionally see groups of students gathered together, discussing something.
