Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

"… fried noodle bread."

"Got it, wait for me on the rooftop."

Kitahara Makoto stood up, strode out of the classroom, came to the place where bread was sold from carts, and started scrambling for bread.

When I arrived at the rooftop, I suddenly saw a blue-haired girl standing at the top of the corridor.

"Why doesn't Xiangzi go up?" Kitahara Makoto asked curiously.

"Give me the bread." Toyokawa Shoko stretched out her delicate hand, holding a banknote, obviously intending to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. She said in a calm tone, "Kitahara-san doesn't want to be misunderstood, right?"

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

Good man, no wonder he was waiting for me in the corridor. It was obvious that he was trying to avenge the arrow shot at me in the morning, right?

Girls are such vengeful creatures!

Seeing that Kitahara Makoto was speechless, Toyokawa Shoko's pink lips curled up slightly, but it soon disappeared. She took the bread, walked briskly, and turned around happily.

Kitahara Makoto followed him up to the rooftop, where Pochi-chan and Kita were already there.

"Oh ha yo~"

Kita Ikuyo, the girl with brilliant red hair, stood up and waved. The smile on her face was super bright, and she was as energetic as ever.

"Sorry, I'm late." Kitahara Makoto walked over to the two girls, then sat down next to Pochi-chan without hesitation, turned around and smiled, "Ichiri-san, if you're hungry, you can eat your lunch first, you don't need to wait for me."

"Not yet, not hungry..."

Pochi-chan's body trembled, and she quickly looked down at her toes, but the tips of her ears that were exposed had already turned red.

The health bar is emptied and the heartbeat speeds up. The task progress increases by one again.

"Kitahara-san, what are these evil spirits you mentioned?"

Kita Ikuyo was in high spirits, her face full of curiosity.

Kitahara Makoto tore open the bread bag, looked at the down-and-out young lady, and took a bite of the bread: "Xiangzi, tell me about what happened this morning."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly and said with her pink lips:

"I passed by the park this morning and fed a few stray cats, then..."

The story is not complicated, it just hides the encounter with Kitahara Makoto.

"Are you sure that Xiangzi is not seeing things?" Kita Ikuyo asked curiously.

"I can see it clearly." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head gently, "It's not an illusion, and I'm not seeing things."

"That should be a ghost." Kita Ikuyo took a bite of her lunch box, "Since there is a ghost senior in the world, it is normal for other ghosts to exist."

Kitahara Makoto said beside him:

"There are two guesses now. One is that Xiangzi has a special physique and can see strange things that other people can't see. The other guess is that you are suffering from unknown sequelae after being possessed by the ghost senior..."

"Ichiri-san, have you seen anything strange these past two days?"

Goto Ichiri quickly shook his head, his voice barely audible: "No, I didn't see anything strange, I was hiding in my room and didn't go out."

"I haven't seen any other ghosts either." Kita Ikuyo said in a clear and enthusiastic voice, "But we can try to look for them. Hongxia said that her friend seemed to have encountered a ghost disappearance. I'll go and ask her when I have time. If I can see other ghosts, I can confirm which one it is."

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the black hair by her ears and said softly:

"Just after school, I received a message that Fukada-senpai's father has returned from another city, and asked us when we would be free to go over and meet him... What did Kitahara-san say?"

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing." Kitahara Makoto swallowed the bread in his mouth, "No matter how much we say, the other party still can't trust us 100%, unless he sees it with his own eyes..."

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up and she quickly answered, "Can we take Fukada-senpai's father to Tsuki no Mori Academy and reunite them?"

Kitahara Makoto cast an admiring look: "Kita-san is indeed very smart."

"Hey~" Kita proudly raised her pretty face, not shy at all, "Kitahara-san, praise me more."

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

As expected of a community girl, you really aren’t stage-frightened at all!

"Then it's decided." Toyokawa Shoko pursed her pink lips and took out her cell phone. "Let's meet at Tsuki no Mori Academy in the evening."

"..."

Half past five in the afternoon.

At the entrance of Tsukinomori Academy.

"Hello, Mr. Fukada. I'm Toyokawa Shoko, who was on the phone with you yesterday."

Toyokawa Shoko bowed slightly. As a former eldest lady, she was quite good at dealing with people, so the job of reception naturally fell on her.

"Hello, I'm Kyo Fukada."

Mr. Fukada was wearing a suit and looked to be in his fifties, with slightly gray hair on his temples. He was indifferent to the group and was obviously still skeptical. "You said you can see my daughter?"

"Please come with us to the music classroom. We'll see you soon."

Without further ado, they took the middle-aged man directly to the music classroom.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not. No matter how much evidence you produce, it is not as good as seeing the ghost senior with your own eyes.

ten minutes later.

Amid the beautiful piano melody, a ghost senior appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at his daughter who had turned into a ghost after ten years, Mr. Fukada's shoulders suddenly trembled. He covered his cheeks with his hands, and extremely suppressed sobs overflowed from between his fingers.

Not being able to protect his daughter is probably the father's lifelong regret.

"so poor……"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes were slightly red, and she had a very strong sense of empathy.

Kitahara Makoto patted Kita's shoulder gently and said softly:

"Let's go out first."

The four of them left the music classroom and stood in the quiet corridor, looking at the sky in the distance that was dyed red by the setting sun.

The air was silent, even Kita, who always loved to chat, fell silent.

After half an hour.

Mr. Fukada walked out of the classroom with red eyes. He first bowed deeply to express his gratitude to Kitahara Makoto and others, and then said that the matter of bringing the criminals to justice would be left to him. Naturally, no one had any doubts about a father's determination to avenge his daughter.

Finally, it’s the ghost senior’s ‘reward’.

"Misaki's pocket money has been well saved. Tomorrow I will give all of it to you as agreed. In addition, there will be my personal reward. Please be sure to accept it."

Hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up slightly. Although it was a bit inappropriate, he still wanted to say...

"If you want to get rich quickly, you have to be with a rich woman!"

Chapter 30 Goblin and the Lost Princess Knight

After ten years, the father and daughter who had been separated forever met again, and naturally had endless things to talk about. After confirming that the ghost senior did not need to "drive the Gundam" today, Kitahara Makoto and the three girls left the school and went home.

"It's really a happy feeling to become rich overnight..."

Kitahara Makoto was in a very good mood. After getting off the train, he went straight to the convenience store and bought a bunch of food, intending to treat himself well in the evening. However, just as the beef was stewed, he suddenly saw a message pop up on his phone.

Toyokawa Shoko: "Kitahara-san, I just saw the ghost from this morning again."

"Ok?"

Kitahara Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly, quickly wiped his hands, and picked up the phone: "Tell me the situation in detail."

Toyokawa Shoko: "I just got home and was about to prepare dinner when I suddenly saw the ghost hanging upside down outside the window this morning, staring at me, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Good man, could it be that you are the legendary holy body of the witch, and that’s why you are targeted by ghosts every day?

Kitahara Makoto quickly said, "I'll go to your house."

Toyokawa Shoko quickly refused: "Don't bother, I just left home... The ghost is targeting me. If I stay at home, it might hurt my family."

This is just one of the reasons.

There is another more important reason that Toyokawa Shoko did not say, which is that her family has fallen on hard times and she lives in a shabby rental house with a decadent father who drinks all day long. She does not want Kitahara Makoto to know the truth at all.

Kitahara Makoto: "Send me the address."

After a while, a shared location popped up on the phone.

"Wait for me, I'll be there right away."

Kitahara Makoto turned down the fire, changed his clothes, and quickly went out.

ten minutes later.

In front of a convenience store.

Kitahara Makoto immediately spotted the blue-haired girl who stood out from the crowd. Even though she was standing in the corner, Teacher Xiaoxiang's cute face still attracted many guests' attention.

"Shoko-san, I'm here." Kitahara Makoto stepped forward and came to Toyokawa Shoko's side. "Does that ghost appear again?"

"I haven't seen it since I came out." Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck the black hair by her ear and said softly, "But I can feel that it is still following me in the dark."

Kitahara Makoto looked around. There were so many people that he couldn't see any ghosts.

"I don't think ghosts will show up in crowded places...Have you eaten?"

Toyokawa Shoko said softly: "I've eaten..."

Kitahara Chengxu said with his eyes narrowed:

"People who lie get acne every day."

Toyokawa Shoko: “…”

"You actually cursed all of humanity to have acne. Kitahara-san is really going too far." Toyokawa Shoko crossed her arms in front of her chest and couldn't help but scolded him, "Be careful not to commit a crime against humanity."

Kitahara Makoto was speechless: "How did it become a crime against humanity?"

"It's very simple." Toyokawa Shoko said lightly, "Is there anyone in the world who has never told a lie?"

Kitahara Makoto: "A mute has never told a lie."

Toyokawa Shoko: "Even if you don't say it, you must have said it in your heart."

Kitahara Makoto: "We judge people by their deeds, not their hearts. It's okay to lie in your heart, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko: "Of course lying in your heart counts. One is lying to others, the other is lying to yourself."

"..."

After a brief argument with the down-and-out young lady, Kitahara Makoto checked the time on his phone and quickly said:

"The food is still cooking. I have to go back quickly. Let's have dinner together at my house?"

Toyokawa Shoko took a half step back, covered her body with her hands, and cast a vigilant look:

"Is Kitahara-san planning to lure underage girls back home?"

"You think too much." Kitahara Makoto narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but complain, "Shoko-san is indeed cute, but not so cute that I would commit a crime."

"Humph~"

Kitahara Makoto put away his phone and said, "Let's go back and eat quickly. When we get to a place with fewer people, the ghost might appear again. It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for two seconds and whispered:

"Will it cause trouble for Kitahara-san? It will be hard to explain to his parents, right?"

Kitahara Makoto said calmly: "Both parents have gone to heaven."

"Sorry……"

"It's all in the past."

"..."

Speechless all the way.

A few minutes later.

The two returned home.
