From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Are you blind? Not yet..." Aoki Takeshi was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt the corners of his mouth and tongue twitching, and tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably.

This situation lasted for more than a minute before it suddenly ended.

Is this... a ghost?

No matter how dumb Aoki Takeshi was, he knew that something was wrong. Thinking about what happened in front of the police station before, he couldn't help but become terrified.

"You..." He looked at his daughter in doubt and suddenly realized that she was much older than he remembered, and even looked a little strange.

When was the last time you took a good look at her?

By the way, is she really Yui?

"Father?" Yui Aoki asked anxiously again.

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!" Aoki Takeshi was finally defeated by the fear in his heart, and he crawled out of the room.

The room fell into silence. After a moment, Yui Aoki began to silently pick up the things that had fallen on the ground and put them in place one by one according to the habit when her mother was still alive.

Is this a bit too much?

Xia Chuan floated behind her, feeling a little uneasy.

Of course, it was not a problem to punish that scumbag a little. It was fine that he ignored his daughter on weekdays, but after she went through such a terrible thing, not only did he not say a word of comfort, but he also beat her and kicked her and cursed her. No human being... no spirit could tolerate this.

The only thing he regretted was whether doing this would scare Yui Aoki.

She finally believed Mu Yuan's words and forgot those "hallucinations" that were enough to destroy a person's sanity. Would this overturn her cognition and bring her any adverse consequences?

Her movements suddenly stopped.

Is she escaping too?

Xia Chuan couldn't help but think.

But Yui Aoki straightened her clothes, solemnly knelt down facing the empty room, and then bowed deeply.

"Thank you very much." Her tears began to flow again, but she finally smiled. "I don't know who you are, but thank you very much. Thank you for saving me again and again!"

Chapter 6 A smile I want to protect

So she remembers everything?

A wonderful emotion began to spread in Xia Chuan's heart, warm and making him happy from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't do those things for anyone's gratitude, but being able to receive such thanks finally filled the little void in his heart.

It’s not like no one remembers what I did!

Even if she is just a girl who may be insignificant to this world, that is enough!

He suddenly had a strong urge to talk to Yui Aoki and tell her that there was no need to thank him in such a formal way.

I saved you, but you actually saved me too!

But...as a spirit, how should I express myself?

Should I throw something to tell her that I heard your thanks? Or should I gently tap her palm?

At this moment, Yui Aoki stood up as if relieved, bowed slightly again, and then continued to pick up the things that fell on the ground.

Her mood seemed to have improved, and Mu Yuan's words seemed to be true. For her, the absence of the so-called father was much happier than his presence.

Natsukawa began to stroll around the room, preparing to familiarize himself with the place where he was going to live for a while, but at this moment Yui Aoki suddenly let out a panicked "Ah".

"Oh no! Sorry... I have to go out quickly." She said anxiously.

……

"Aoki, do you know how much trouble you've caused us by skipping work without saying anything? I took you in out of kindness for your mother's sake, and this is how you repay me?" A bald man in his forties shouted at the cashier of the convenience store. "What do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please?"

"Sorry... I'm really sorry." Yui Aoki's face turned red after being scolded, and tears began to fall uncontrollably, making Natsukawa, who was watching beside her, very angry.

Why didn't those Akasaka guys help her sort out these things? Even if they couldn't let ordinary people know the truth, with their identities and their ability to lie, would it be difficult for them to say a good word and explain something for her?

Why didn't Aoki tell him confidently that he was kidnapped? His submissive attitude, which only knew how to apologize, really made people angry and anxious.

"Please forgive me... I will work hard and make good use of this time..." Yui Aoki said while wiping her tears.

"Go!" The store manager waved his hand. "We don't need irresponsible people here! If I keep you, what will I do with the new person I recruited to replace you? Do you want me to fire him?"

"Aoki." He shook his head. "Come back tomorrow evening and I'll pay you your wages for the past few days. I can only help you this much, so take care of yourself!"

"Sorry... Thank you for your care all the time." Yui Aoki wiped her tears and bowed deeply to him.

Originally, Xia Chuan wanted to take things off the shelves as revenge, but faced with this situation, he couldn't do it.

Things have come to this point, what's the point of playing such a prank? This bald guy looks annoying, but he shouldn't be a bad guy...

Thinking of this, Yui Aoki lowered her head and walked out of the convenience store.

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a chef's uniform, was leaning against the wall smoking. When he saw her come out, he immediately threw away his cigarette butt and walked over with a smile.

"Yui? What happened a few days ago? Did something happen at home?" He looked at the convenience store and asked in an exaggerated tone. "No way? Iida fired you?"

"sorry, I……"

"That guy is so heartless! What should I do? I heard that your father owes a lot of money. You are in a difficult situation, right?" Xia Chuan was not paying attention when the man suddenly grabbed her hand. "Come to my shop! When you want to...ah~~~!"

He felt a sudden sharp pain in his hand, as if pricked by a needle, and quickly let go of his hand.

"Sorry, Mr. Nakatani, I have something to do and I'll leave first!" Yui Aoki took this opportunity to escape from his clutches in a panic.

The man named Nakatani looked down and saw that his finger had begun to bleed. The wound looked very deep, which made him run to his shop in a hurry: "What's going on? What the hell is she wearing on her hand!"

This disgusting person must be taught a lesson! Xia Chuan originally wanted to go with him to the store to see if there was anything that could be destroyed, but as Yui Aoki moved, he was involuntarily dragged away by that force.

“Um…” Yui Aoki suddenly stopped when she reached a deserted place. “Mr. Guardian Spirit… you saved me again just now, right?”

"Thank you very much, but..." She looked very uneasy. "Is it really okay for you to do this? Miss Kimoto and the others... They should be doing things that are harmful to you, right? I really, really thank you." She paused, emphasized her tone, and said very seriously. "But please don't take any risks to help me! It's okay, it's really okay. I'm used to being scolded and beaten. Please don't do that for me..."

Xia Chuan was a little angry and amused at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but float over and gently poked her nose.

"Ah?" Aoki Yui covered her nose in surprise, then asked cautiously, "Is it you? Mr. Guardian Spirit?"

nonsense……

Xia Chuan repeated it again, and this time, the girl laughed, her eyes narrowed, and became round like two crescent moons.

She should be happy about his first response, but this made Xia Chuan stunned.

She always kept her head down, frowned slightly, and looked timid and cowardly. Even in her previous smile, there was always a hint of uneasiness.

I never expected that when she forgot all this and really laughed... she was a completely different person!

You look so beautiful when you smile, you should smile more often.

Xia Chuan couldn't help but think so.

"Um... Mr. Guardian Spirit, let's make a pact, okay? Touching the nose is a yes, and a no..."

Xia Chuan couldn't help but hit her on the head because of her easy-to-bully look.

"Ah~" She gently covered her head. "It's too heavy... Mr. Guardian Spirit, please, can you..."

Xia Chuan then gently tapped her forehead.

"Thank you!" Yui Aoki smiled again. "Thank you very much!"

Although he didn't feel that he had done anything worthy of her gratitude, seeing her smile made Xia Chuan feel very happy.

Wait!

He felt something, so he gently tapped Yui Aoki on the forehead.

She stopped in confusion, and a moment later, a few small coins rolled out from under the vending machine on the roadside.

#####

Continue to ask for collection, recommendation and blades.

It's not easy to make it to the list, please help me to stick to it as much as possible! ! ! o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter 7 The Trusting Relationship between Humans and Spirits

What a shame!

Seeing Yui Aoki stunned for a moment, then picking up the coins one by one with a smile, Natsukawa suddenly realized what he had done.

A man who once dealt with a monster that killed people like cutting grass, survived multiple attacks from the authorities, and easily surpassed all famous doctors, no matter how ten yuan, ten yuan coin?

This kind of thing...

However, when he saw Yui Aoki's smile, he couldn't help but draw his attention to the next row of vending machines.

So, what should have been the return journey of a sad journey after being fired turned out to be the happiest time for Yui Aoki in a long time, or perhaps the only happy time.

"Thank you very much..." She said this every time, and then Xia Chuan finally couldn't help but hit her head hard. So, she finally stopped saying this, but every time there would be a warm feeling coming from the amulet, letting Xia Chuan know that she was actually secretly thanking him in her heart, and even praying to him.

Oh, never mind, let her be happy.

Xia Chuan could only tell himself this, although deep down he didn't actually hate this, he just felt a little embarrassed.

"Phew, a total of 5,020 yuan! There's no way there's that much!" When they finally arrived at the shabby apartment where Yui Aoki lived, she said reluctantly, and then bowed again with satisfaction: "Thank you very much, Mr. Guardian Spirit!"

Xia Chuan tapped her head gently.

"I understand that this kind of thing doesn't happen often, but... thank you so much, Mr. Guardian Spirit. I'm very happy. I haven't been this happy in a long time. After dark, let's go buy some lunch boxes and celebrate!"

Xia Chuan actually didn't understand what she was talking about. It was not until he went to a nearby convenience store with her that he found out that the bento boxes that were not sold on the same day would be sold at 30% or even 50% off at around 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

Xia Chuan noticed that as soon as she entered the door, she was looking to see if the convenience store was recruiting part-time sales clerks. After getting a disappointing result, she slowly wandered around the store, delaying time, and by the way, she also sorted out the goods for the store.

She probably didn't do it on purpose, but it was a habit she developed when she was a shop clerk. Although the clerk didn't say anything, she had already prepared a new label in advance and put it on when the time came.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

"Thank you so much!"

Xia Chuan couldn't stand the Japanese habit of constantly thanking and apologizing, but he had no way to change the situation and could only choose to turn a deaf ear to it.

He watched as Yui Aoki excitedly placed the lunch box on the low table in the middle of the room, carefully tore it open, and solemnly declared: "I'm eating." All her actions were full of ritual and satisfaction, as if it was not the most ordinary discounted lunch box, but the most delicious dish in a high-end restaurant.

Is it really that delicious?

Natsukawa didn't quite believe it, but seeing how happily Yui Aoki was eating, he could only believe that it was the most delicious meal.

What kind of life did this girl live in the past?

But, that's all in the past.

Everything will be fine in the future.

The next episode was changing clothes and taking a bath. Aoki Yui stood there hesitating for a long time with a red face. Xiachuan leaned over and heard her saying in a low voice: "Mr. Guardian Spirit is a good person, he won't peek."

I am a spirit!

Xia Chuan couldn't help but hit her on the head again.

Even if I really saw it,... forget it, I wouldn't do that kind of thing anyway!

Is it possible that even this most basic trust has disappeared between humans and spirits?

"I'm sorry..." After being beaten, Yui Aoki finally plucked up the courage to walk into the bathroom.

The sound of water soon began to sound.

Hmm... Xiachuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Even including his previous life, he had never waited in a room for a girl to take a bath like this.
