The quiet bathhouse suddenly became noisy, with employees lying on the walls and back. At the front was the girl who helped Chihiro.

Following the sound, Yubaba looked back up at the sky, and saw Haku slowly descending from the sky holding Chihiro's hand. Then, she took off the two small pendants on her shoulders, signaling them that they could go back.

Yubaba shouted to the two people on the other side of the bridge, "Baby? Where's my baby?!"

"Buzz!"

"Squeak!"

The mosquito dragged the mouse by the scruff of the neck and struggled to fly across the bridge. Under the puzzled look of Yubaba, the bridge suddenly flew away and smoke filled the air.

The giant baby and the crow returned to their original postures.

Yubaba dived into the giant baby's arms.

"Baby~ My good baby is back~ Oh~ You must have had a hard time on this journey~"

Haku stood at the other end of the bridge and shouted from afar: "Yubaba! I have brought the baby back as promised. Please let Xiaoqian and her parents return to the human world!"

Yubaba held the baby and poked her head out from his waist: "We can't just let her go! There are still rules in this world!"

"Ugh--"

"Greedy Witch——"

"It's really Granny Yu..."

"Isn't it obvious that you don't keep your promise?"

"Shh-"

Yubaba turned her head sharply: "It's so noisy!"

The baby suddenly said: "Mom is so stingy, don't be like this. Baby had a lot of fun this time. Xiao Qian took me to some very interesting places."

Yubaba looked up in surprise. She was a little caught off guard by the sudden growth of her child.

At this moment, Bao Bao had a serious look on his face: "Please let Xiao Qian and her parents go back."

"But baby, rules are rules..." Yubaba said shyly, looking helpless and tangled: "Rules...can't be broken. Otherwise, the spell can't be broken."

As she explained carefully, she drew circles of different sizes with her hands to reinforce the authenticity of her words.

"Anyway, if you make Xiao Qian cry, I will hate you."

Employees:……

Mori Yuesha, who was leaning against the wall in the shadows: ...

Why does it feel like a son is rebelling against his mean mother for his wife?

Chihiro let go of Bailong's hand, shook her head at him, and walked to the other side of the bridge - the entrance of the bathhouse, shouting: "Granny! I'll be there now!"

Yubaba looked at the girl who looked exactly like Tathagata, crossed the long bridge with a determined look on her face, and stood in front of her.

"Bai Long has already told me about the rules."

Yubaba glanced at her and said, "It's good that you have made up your mind."

She waved a scroll-like object in front of Chihiro, "This is the contract you signed. Come over here."

She hooked her finger at Qianxun and said to the baby, "Baby, I'll be back soon~ Wait for me~"

After turning the corner, Yubaba brought Chihiro to a group of earth-gray pigs and said, "You have to find your parents among these pigs."

group……?

Chihiro looked ahead thoughtfully.

The knotted line served as a partition. The gray pigs, like well-trained soldiers, lined up in two rows without fighting or grabbing each other, and nudged each other behind the line, their eyes all looking at Chihiro.

"You only have one chance. If you guess correctly, I'll set you free."

Qianxun approached and looked at the group of well-trained pigs in front of her, feeling a little helpless. Because each one looked the same...

"Mom? Dad?"

The girl's tentative call did not elicit a response from any of the gray pigs.

They looked at the girl indifferently.

A crisp voice came from behind.

"Mother-in-law! I knew you were cheating again! Humph, after tricking people into child labor, are you going to trick people into looking for something that doesn't exist?"

Yubaba and Chihiro turned around, and even the employees on the wall looked in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, Mori Yuesha was wearing a shirt and leaning leisurely on the huge wooden bridge. She rolled up her sleeves, casually rested her arms on the railing, crossed her slender legs, and bit a piece of chocolate in her mouth.

The long black waves cascade down and elegantly wrap around the girl's waist. In the sun, the black hair looks like a work of art made of heated and drawn black pearls.

She winked at Yubaba playfully, pressed the teardrop mole at the end of her eye with her index finger, and gently pulled it downwards.

Slightly~~

ξ( ?>??)~

At a glance, Yubaba saw this human who had made her lose face several times.

She was extremely angry, breathing heavily through her huge nose, and her palms were wrinkled around the contract: "Shut up! This, this... This is Xiao Qian's test! No one else is allowed to speak! No one is allowed to speak!"

Chapter 23 The White Dragon's Gift

Mori Yuesa blinked at Chihiro and gestured towards her mouth innocently, indicating that her mouth was zipped up.

Yubaba panted and turned away, ignoring her, and began to urge Chihiro: "Come on, Chihiro. Which one... is your parent?"

Chihiro pondered over Mori Tsukisa's words.

The meaning is obvious...

The girl raised her head and looked at Yubaba, who seemed a little embarrassed for some reason.

As expected...is it just like my sister said?

Chihiro put her hands behind her back and walked leisurely towards Yubaba, staring at her nose——

"Look at the pig! What are you looking at me for!"

However, these words activated the funny point of the crazy girl behind him - the suppressed laughter kept jumping in front of the bathhouse...

and so…

"If they were my parents, they would be very excited to leave with me, right?" Chihiro whispered to herself, "Unless... they originally belonged here, so they don't want to leave, right?"

Yubaba moved her huge head closer to Chihiro: "What are you talking about?"

"No," Qianxun turned her head, her eyes firm: "Right."

"what?"

Chihiro stared into Yubaba's eyes and said, "No, I said no. My parents are not here."

Tangbaba was horrified: "What are you driving——"

boom--

The rules don't lie.

The contract in Yubaba's hand exploded into smoke and dissipated.

“ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

“Congratulations, Xiao Qian!!”

"Xiao Qian! Go back quickly! You can go back now! Go home!"

"Yubaba failed miserably!!"

"Hahahahaha, of course. Maybe she's Mr. Bailong's partner~"

"Xiao Qian! Mr. Bai! Success!!"

The group of gray pigs in front of Chihiro turned into employees of the bathhouse in the blink of an eye.

The others who were lying on the wall got bunches of flowers from somewhere, and started dancing and scattering petals - they were celebrating because the only human here could finally go home!

There were people beating gongs and drums, and hanging banners, and the whole bathhouse was filled with a New Year atmosphere...

Chihiro looked at the unhappy Yubaba, the cheerfully celebrating Boiler Man and Xiaoling, and the friends who had talked to her and helped her: "Thank you! Thank you too!!"

She bowed deeply to the bathhouse, turned around, and quickly ran towards the white dragon across the bridge.

On the way, he pulled a long-haired lady who was leaning on the bridge railing and eating to his side and pulled her to continue running.

"Eh??"

Mori Yuesha was dragged by Chihiro and started running.

She turned her head and saw the morning sun shining on the girl's face, with fine hairs clearly visible. The girl couldn't hide her smile, which was the joy flowing from her heart.

"Mr. Bai?"

"let's go!"

Qianxun held two people in each hand and ran back the way they came.

Passing through the deserted Shinmei Street, the huge stone stairs and shrines, and the intersections guarded by stone statues. Chihiro grinned, the wind whistling in her ears. She pulled two people.

Just like when they came, they pulled themselves together.

Perhaps because of the termination of the contract, the lakes turned into wilderness plains, and the occasional protruding rocks were covered with moss.

Ancient, dry vines entwine around the entrance to the corridor in the distance.

Here is the way home.

"I can't go any further."

The three people stopped here, and there was a plain ahead.

Bai Long stopped and spoke first: "You can just go back the same way you came, but don't look back. Go straight out of the tunnel."

Qianxun took a step forward, then turned back and looked at the two people worriedly: "Where are Bailong and my sister? What are you going to do?"

Haku said lightly: "I will tell Yubaba that I will no longer be her apprentice. It doesn't matter, I have found my real name, and I will return to my original world."

Mori Yuesa pointed casually at the sky and said nothing.

Chihiro knew that she didn't belong here, not only didn't belong here, she didn't even belong to this world.

The girl finally began to feel sad: "Can we meet again?"

"I'm afraid not." Mori Yuesha answered the girl's question directly. Obviously, this was something that didn't need any hope, so there was no need to make it vague.

She used her hands to block the wind that was messing up her hair, and her voice was slightly mixed with the scent of the wind: "Chihiro, I'm really happy that I can meet a friend like you in another world. I will cherish this memory forever..."

"But you also know that I am not from this world. So... be happy, you guys."

Bailong nodded, and the two of them looked at Mori Yuesha and thanked her.

"Thank you, Xiaosa."

"Thank you, Sister Yuesha."

Qianxun opened her arms and hugged Mori Yuesha tightly, rubbing her face against her neck, and cried reluctantly: "Sister, I will miss you. You must be happy! Live a good life, and watch the TV series I mentioned!"

Mori Tsukisa: ...

"By the way." Mori Yuesha suddenly patted her head. She was so busy enjoying herself that she almost forgot something important.

She handed Chihiro a notebook with a black cover.

"There is a secret here." Mori Yuesha winked at Chihiro: "I put everything in my future in it."

The girl carefully took the notebook and held it in her arms as if it were a treasure. Bai Long and Mori Yuesha looked at her. Finally, they had to say goodbye.

"Well, goodbye!"

Chihiro retreated slowly and reluctantly. She looked at Mori Yuesha and Haku carefully, as if she wanted to remember their appearance clearly.

A cool breeze blew by, and she suddenly opened her mouth towards the wind and shouted loudly: "Goodbye! Bai Long! Mori Yuesha!"
