"You don't know...never mind, we'll take care of this matter."

Sakura Futaba didn't plan to say anything more to him. After all, he was just an ordinary person. "Uncle, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

"In the future..." The middle-aged man uttered the word with difficulty, his face full of gloom and despair, "Can a loser like me have a future?"

Without anyone's prompting, he slowly recounted his past experiences:

"After I won a large sum of money from gambling, the world seemed to have changed. Those who looked down on me all looked at me with envy, which made me feel... as if I had become excellent. But now that I have come to realize it, I found that... I am still that loser, and even worse."

"Now I still owe a huge gambling debt, those gangsters won't let me go..."

"Uncle...you should go to the police station and turn yourself in."

Isshiki Ye Si's expression changed instantly, and his body began to tremble: "Surrender!?"

"That's right. Whether it's gambling or other crimes, the best thing you should do now is to plead guilty. Uncle, do you know how blind you are? Gamblers will eventually lose what they don't have."

"But, but..." He stuttered and couldn't speak, obviously unwilling, "There are also yakuza in prison! They won't let me go! Futaba..."

He wanted to plead for mercy, but Mitsui Tsubasa could not bear it any longer. This man was dithering. Did he think that he could just write off the past by apologizing?

Mitsui Tsubasa took a step forward and interrupted him:

"We are not discussing this with you. This is an order! When you get out, you must write down every crime you have committed over the years in detail, and then turn yourself in to the police station. As for your concerns, I will arrange a lawyer for you and ensure that you are put in a prison with better conditions."

After he finished speaking, flames of the heart surged out from his hands.

The eerie flames that were deeper than the night flickered and condensed into a pitch-black bead - the Demon Seed of Desire.

Mitsui Tsubasa injected the power of cognitive modification into the demon species. In addition to ordering Isshiki Yeji to surrender, he also added an additional instruction, asking him to sell his property to compensate Sakura Futaba.

As the flames of the heart continued to pour in, the size of the desire demon seed gradually expanded to the size of a soybean, with wisps of fire surging out from it from time to time.

"what is this?"

Sakura Futaba had a strange look on her face and pressed her chest with her small hands. Ever since the strange bead appeared, she found that her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably and an indescribable desire surged in her heart.

"This is the seed of light, which increases control over the shadow self."

Mitsui Tsubasa explained calmly, then waved his hand and threw the Desire Demon Seed towards Isshiki Ye Si.

This middle-aged man's desire for the demon seed was much stronger than Futaba's. He stared at the flying demon seed intently, and even saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The Desire Demon Seed successfully sank into his heart, and the middle-aged man instantly became quiet.

Mitsui Tsubasa observed for a moment and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, let's return to reality."

"Yes……"

Shadow-like Ye Si responded respectfully, his body slowly turning into light and dispersing.

"So beautiful!" When Sakura Futaba saw the shadow dissipate by itself for the first time, she was deeply shocked by the dreamy scene of stars in the sky.

It was not until the stars faded away like fireflies that she came to her senses and noticed something floating in the air.

"Ying, look at that!"

"Well, I saw it. It's the bud of the secret treasure. Go get it."

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her encouragingly.

"Me?" Sakura Futaba hesitated for a moment, but couldn't suppress her curiosity and trotted over.

After seeing the object clearly, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Why is it a coin? And it's worth 5 yen..."

After she came back, even Mitsui Tsubasa became speechless.

Is Isshiki Yeji so poor that he only has 5 yen left?

No, that's not right, he thought of a possibility.

"This should be a lucky gold coin, the kind used when praying for blessings."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sakura Futaba also reacted. Although she seldom went to places like shrines, she had seen them too many times in anime.

She simply opened her hand and handed the coin to Mitsui Yi: "Here you go."

Mitsui Tsubasa raised his eyebrows and said, "You keep it. This is your uncle's legacy...er, gift. This is a lucky gold coin!"

He almost said the word "inheritance", but fortunately he realized it halfway.

Sakura Futaba didn't seem to notice his slip of the tongue, she just lowered her head and looked at the coin carefully. After a moment of silence, she smiled and put the coin directly into his hand.

"This is for you. Thank you for helping me. Also... my luck is already very high. I don't need any help from anything else!"

The figure of Mitsui Tsubasa was reflected in her eyes, and she was absolutely convinced that her luck value was probably full, so... she met him.

Seeing Futaba was so persistent, Mitsui Tsubasa no longer refused and casually stuffed the coin into his pocket.

The buds of several secret treasures harvested previously have been identified and found to be nothing special, so there is no need to pay undue attention to them.

Before leaving, the two carefully investigated the room, but found nothing else except the passage that led to nowhere.

"So...should we go explore?"

Sakura Futaba asked, pointing to the deep surging area.

Mitsui Yi pondered and shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to take risks, let's wait until everyone is gathered."

"Then where are we going now?"

"Let me take you back first. You've been emotionally unstable today and you need to have a good rest."

"Huh?" Sakura Futaba didn't expect this arrangement, but she did feel a little headache, "Okay, then we'll go back first."

Everything went smoothly on the return journey, and the two of them returned to the elevator easily.

Before Futaba could speak, Mitsui Tsubasa suggested, "Let me take you home, and check if there are any unread messages during this period."

"Okay." Sakura Futaba agreed without thinking too much.

The two entered the elevator together and returned directly to the real world.

This is Yokenjaya Station, and as soon as you come out you will see Sakura Futaba's room.

Just as they adjusted to the light outside, the oracle's noisy voice rang out like a devil's sound:

"That's too much! Not only did you not let my drone go, but you also turned off your phones! What was in that room? You disappeared for a full 22 minutes and 36 seconds - tell the truth, meow!!!"

Chapter 182: A special bond beyond the cooperative relationship was formed with Futaba Sakura!

In Sakura Futaba's cozy little nest.

Five monitors were neatly arranged on the desktop, with the images of five oracles prominently displayed on the screens, menacingly surrounding the two men.

"Ahaha..." Sakura Futaba laughed awkwardly and tried to change the subject, "It's nothing, just, um... a little personal matter."

The Oracle was relentless: "What private matter are you hiding from me? Could it be... an affair?!"

As soon as these words came out, Sakura Futaba suddenly panicked.

These are all outrageous speculations. I really should educate her and teach her to read less messy information in the future.

"No! It's just a family matter!"

She hurriedly defended herself, but as soon as she said it, she realized she had said the wrong thing.

Because the oracle has begun to scream and hit the screen -

The sounds of "bang bang bang bang" were continuous and the scene was very chaotic for a time.

"You don't take me with you when you do chores--?! Am I not a family member? Am I not your biological child? I'm angry! I'm really angry! Futaba, explain it to me clearly, nya!!"

The oracle was waving its claws and fangs on the screen, and if their phones hadn't been turned off, the situation would have been even more chaotic.

"Ah this..." Sakura Futaba looked at the oracle "going crazy" at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Mitsui Tsubasa for help.

Mitsui Tsubasa weighed the "combat strength" of both sides and wisely chose to remain neutral. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Ah, I suddenly feel thirsty, let me get a glass of water first."

After saying that, he turned and left, considerately closing the door, leaving Sakura Futaba, who looked confused, alone to face the angry oracle.

As soon as the door closed, the oracle's reproach rose an octave.

Mitsui Tsubasa sighed softly outside the door. It wasn't that he was not loyal enough, but that he just had the will but not the ability.

A friend dies but I live, Futaba, just wish yourself the best...

He walked into the living room and got two glasses of water. He hesitated for a few minutes before slowly walking back to the room.

When I opened the door again, the fighting had subsided.

Just from the expressions of the two people, it can be seen that Sakura Futaba must have signed some humiliating agreement, otherwise the oracle would not be so proud, with his head almost tilted back.

Seeing him come in, the Oracle just snorted twice and did not continue attacking.

Mitsui Tsubasa was secretly delighted and gently handed the cup of water to Futaba: "You've worked hard today. Come, have a drink of water."

"Hmph..." Sakura Futaba snorted in dissatisfaction, expressing her disgust at his behavior of fleeing without a fight.

She drank half a glass of water in one breath, then sighed deeply and lay on her back on the bed. "I'm so tired. I didn't do anything, why do I have a headache..."

"It's a migraine caused by the intense mental fluctuations?" Mitsui Tsubasa guessed.

"Maybe……"

Sakura Futaba responded lazily, then turned on her phone and began to daydream.

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her soft and slender body and his heart moved slightly.

Now seems like a good opportunity. Resolving Isshiki Yeji should be able to advance the community level. At this time, I need to guide her... How should I act?

A sudden inspiration flashed through my mind. Futaba mentioned "household chores" before, so this can be used as an excuse!

He sat down beside the bed and asked with concern: "Futaba, does your head still hurt? Do you have a fever?"

Sakura Futaba didn't know that the crisis was coming at this time. She looked at him blankly and placed the back of her right hand on her forehead.

She felt it carefully for a few seconds and said uncertainly, "I don't think so. I don't feel any other discomfort."

"Let me take a look." Mitsui Tsubasa suppressed his excitement and reached out to help her measure with a natural expression.

The two of them were already very familiar with each other at this point, and Sakura Futaba didn't care and turned her attention back to her phone.

After a few seconds, Mitsui Tsubasa looked puzzled and said, "Strange, it seems to be a little higher than usual. I'll try again."

"Yeah." Sakura Futaba didn't doubt him and responded casually without even opening her mouth.

Then, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and the mattress was pressed down a little by the sudden weight.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Mitsui Tsubasa's face right before her eyes, "Huh!? What…"

Before he could finish his words, his forehead felt slightly hot.

After thinking about the current situation, Sakura Futaba was almost suffocating - what happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?

She had already experienced a lot today, and after this, her mind was about to explode.

His hot breath hit her face, and her mouth and nose were filled with his strange yet pleasant smell.

Sakura Futaba's cheeks flushed red, her body was stiff, and she dared not move.

A few seconds seemed like centuries to her, and she felt that it took a very long time before his lips left her forehead.

"Fortunately, I don't have a fever."

Mitsui Tsubasa seemed not to notice her embarrassment and stood up and sat back down.

"W-what are you doing?"

Sakura Futaba supported her body with her hands and quickly crawled towards the head of the bed to create some distance.

"Let me take your temperature. I remember there is such a way to measure it, right?"

"That's the way to measure a baby's temperature, and it's not very accurate. Now we use thermometers..."

Sakura Futaba argued quietly, only to feel her heart beating faster and her body getting hot.

Without giving her time to think, Mitsui Yi took advantage of the situation and said, "What's wrong with that? We are a family."

family?

Sakura Futaba's heart trembled, and she felt an indescribable complex emotion. She felt a little happy, but also something seemed wrong.

Lacking experience in love, her mind was briefly confused before she gave an answer based on her own understanding: "That's right... I feel like Yi is like my brother, always taking care of me."
