Chapter 59, Chapter 8: You scared them.

Just as Yuta Otsuko was about to turn around to thank Mimiko Kasaba, she saw her eyes widen and then quickly throw him away.

Yuta Eto, who was thrown out: ? ? ?

Why did Mimiko Kasaba throw away Yuuta Otsuku? Of course, it was to save her life!

She could see Rika approaching her with a murderous aura!

As she tossed Yuta to him, she quickly added loudly, "Hey! He bumped into me himself, it's not like I wanted to get close to him!"

Despite her words, Rika's aura as a Special Grade Cursed Spirit was simply too strong. Mimiko Kasaba had already raised the hanging doll in her hand and was looking at her warily.

Behind her, Nanako Kasaba was also holding her phone, her expression serious, already in battle mode.

Rika, who caught the staggering Yuta, was equally upset and wouldn't listen to anything Mimiko Kasaba said. Her voice was sharp: "So cunning! So cunning! Cunning woman! What do you want to do to Rika's Yuta!?"

After saying that, she put down Otsuko Yuta, who had already stood firmly, and made a move to rush towards Kasaba Mimiko's direction.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Yuuta Otsukotsu's pupils shrank, and he shouted, "Rika! Stop!"

As a Special Class, Rika was incredibly fast; she grabbed Kasaba Mimiko the moment Otsuko called out to her. Kasaba Mimiko herself didn't even have time to react.

In that instant, everyone realized that this cursed spirit, who followed Yuta Ekiku every day like a child, only knowing how to call his name, or who surrounded Karin Orishita to help the child carry things and twist bottle caps, was a truly powerful Special-Rank cursed spirit capable of instantly killing them.

When Yuta saw that Rika had already grabbed the person, he frowned immediately: "Rika, let him go, don't do this."

Rika wanted to say something more: "Yuta, don't be fooled by this woman, she—"

"No, no. She didn't lie to me, and I wasn't lied to. I accidentally bumped into Mimiko-san, and if she hadn't helped me up, I would have fallen to the ground right now. She was helping me."

Rika was furious, just like a girl watching her boyfriend being deceived by a manipulative woman: "She was faking it all! She even brought Yuuta a drink before! She was faking it! Yuuta, don't believe her!"

Miko Kasaba, who was called a "green tea b*tch," was even angrier than her and rolled her eyes: "Please, that drink was clearly bought for the whole class. It only seems like it was given to him alone because he was late! Besides, I clearly like Natsuyu-sensei, who is both gentle and strong. Who likes this bean sprout?!"

Li Xiang:! ?

"You...you...you're not allowed to insult Yuta!!!"

Yuta Otsuko: "Rika!!! Stop!"

Seeing that Rika seemed to be losing control, Yuta Otsuko, for some unknown reason, reversed the knife in his hand and actually slashed at himself.

Zhixue Yahuali:? ? ?

Zhixue Yahuali:! ! !

"dad!"

"Mimiko!"

"Youta!"

Almost simultaneously, gasps of surprise rang out from different people on the playground. Rika, who had originally planned to attack Kasaba Mimiko, immediately abandoned her after noticing what was happening to Otsuko Yuta.

Ultimately, Yuta's sword didn't manage to slash himself; like the dagger Yuta had used to commit suicide, it was twisted by Rika.

At this point, Rika had completely forgotten about Mimiko Kasaba. She was frantically pacing around Yuta Otsuko, asking anxiously, "Yuta! Yuta! Are you alright?"

Seeing that Mimiko Kasaba had only fallen to the ground briefly after being suddenly released and was otherwise unharmed, Yuta Otsu breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I'm fine."

Ayaka Kaori, who was not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't moved until now, because she figured Otsukoshi Yuuta must have a way to stop Rika. Maybe he'd pretend to be angry or use some other method, but she never expected Otsukoshi Yuuta to use such a method…

While it is indeed effective, isn't it a bit too scary?

She clicked her tongue in amazement.

Brother Gu Zi truly lives up to his name; he's ruthless to himself. That last slash was delivered with absolute force; if it had landed, blood would have splattered all over the playground…

Yuta Otsuko, however, remained calm and turned to Rika, saying, "Rika, as I've said before, Mimi-san and the others are my classmates and companions. Don't be so hostile towards them, or it will put me in a difficult position."

His tone wasn't harsh, but rather carried a deep sense of helplessness.

Seeing his reaction, Rika panicked a little: "I'm sorry, Yuta. I didn't mean it. I didn't want to put Yuta in a difficult position."

"Okay, it's alright. Just don't do that again. I haven't fallen for anyone else; I've always loved Rika." He didn't blush when he said things like this at a time like this.

Rika was immediately overjoyed, even excitedly cupping her blushing face: "Rika, Rika loves Yuuta the most too!"

Mimi, who had been thrown off and landed hard on her backside, felt like a huge victim of injustice. Not only was she dragged into this for no reason, but she also had to be forced to witness their public display of affection.

"Ouch..." She rubbed her sore bottom, and with Nanako's help, she got up, muttering under her breath, "Even if you die in front of me, I won't help you anymore, honestly..."

Yuta Otsuko said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not taking good care of Rika."

Nanako Kasaba, having just witnessed her younger sister almost being hurt by Rika, looked indignant and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Forget it, you'd better not apologize, lest this cursed spirit think we have something against you."

Yi Guyou was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Oori Karin, who had been watching the drama unfold for a while, didn't want Ootori Yuta and Rika to have a falling out with their classmates over this, so she spoke up: "I'm sorry, Aunt Mimiko, Aunt Nanako, my mom didn't mean it. She... she just cares too much about Dad and can't control her emotions."

She tugged at Rika next to her, looking embarrassed, and said, "Mom, apologize with me."

Rika had just been persuaded by Yuta Otsuko, and now that the child was speaking to her, she suddenly felt awkward.

Then the two of them, one big and one small, lowered their heads and apologized to the two sisters from the yakaraba.

Yuta Otsuko also apologized and promised to take good care of Rika in the future.

Nanako Kasaba and Mimiko Kasaba: "..."

It was already awkward enough that a child and a cursed spirit were apologizing, but then there was also Yuta Otsuku, making it a family of three apologizing. Yuta Otsuku always looked weak and like the kind of person who would be bullied, which made the two sisters feel extremely strange.

"No, forget it, it makes it sound like we're bullying people..." Mimiko Kasaba said speechlessly.

Yi Guyou was quite embarrassed and scratched his face.

He suddenly noticed that Karin Ooyuki's clothes were soaked, her bangs were wet, and her face was covered in water droplets. He asked in surprise, "Kurukari, why are you all wet?"

The child hesitated for a moment, then pinched his fingers and whispered, "Just now... I asked Mom to open the bottle for me... and then Mom saw Dad and got angry, so... she popped my water bottle..."

The group: "..."

Rika immediately started pacing around anxiously: "Kukari, I'm sorry, Mom, Mom didn't mean it!"

The panda couldn't stand it anymore and handed over a tissue: "Wipe it off."

It turned out that it wasn't Yuta Otsuko or Karin Okiyuki who took the tissue, but Rika.

No, or rather, Rika snatched the tissue from the panda's hand and started wiping it on Karin's face with great care and force.

Karin felt like she was being insulted, and struggled to dodge: "No... Mom... you, you're too strong... I can do it myself..."

Mimiko Kasaba and Nanako Kasaba: "..."

For some reason, seeing her own daughter, Karin, in this state, Mimiko Kasaba suddenly felt that her buttocks didn't hurt as much anymore.

Yi Gu You Tai felt someone poking his arm. He turned his head and saw it was Gou Juan Ji.

Dog-Turtle pointed to the twisted knife on the ground, its original shape unrecognizable: "Mayonnaise."

Yi Gu You Tai: !!!

He immediately knelt on the ground: "My knife!!!"

This knife! Even though he's the one using it, it's a high-tech knife!!!

Rika, realizing her mistake after twisting the knife like that, quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry! Yuta, I'm so sorry! Rika, I'll fix it right now!!!"

As she spoke, Rika reached out to try and bend the knife back to its original position, but...

It seems that it was twisted into a completely different shape without even realizing it.

Rika: "Yuta, is that so?"

Yuta Otsuko: "No! The sword is straight, straight! It's not twisted like a snake, Rika."

"Wait! Wait! Rika can still..."

Then……

With a crisp "snap," the knife broke in two in Rika's hand.

Etotsu watched as the broken piece fell to the ground with two "ding" and "tap" sounds, and then remained still.

Yuta's eyes widened: "It's broken!!!"

Rika was sweating profusely: "Summit Marseille!!! Rika, Rika, we can still put it back together!"

But as you can imagine, it's too late to put it back together...

Rika forcibly pinched the knife back together with brute force, making it look quite pathetic. After wobbling a couple of times, it finally broke in two without any hesitation.

Yi Gu You Tai's entire face paled: It's over...

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, Mimiko Kasaba suddenly felt that what she had just experienced... didn't seem like much at all?

When Xia Youjie saw the battered knife, his smile froze.

He wasn't worried about the money; he was just very curious about what had happened to the knife to make it look like this.

"Yigu, may I ask what you're going to do with this knife?"

Yi Gu You Tai: QAQ

Fortunately, Xia Youjie later took Yigu Youtai to the Jiku to get a new knife, and he didn't have to pay for the previous knife.

"It's just a knife, nothing serious, don't worry about it."

Although Xia Youjie said that, Yi Gu You Tai still treated the new sword with much more caution after returning.

Oriyuki Karin, however, didn't think much of it—it was just a cursed sword, and Gojo Satoru and Natsuyu Suke had dismantled it countless times at the high school. Which of them cared?

——

It was the weekend, and everyone was supposed to be resting, but when Karin Ooyuki went out, she ran into Maki Zenin, who was fully armed and seemed to be going to training.

She greeted the other person politely first, then asked in surprise, "Aunt Maki, are you going to training?"

"right."

"Don't you even take a break on the weekend?" Kiryuki Ayaka thought to herself, marveling at the other person's diligence.

No wonder she's a woman aiming to become the head of the Zen family!

However, Zenin Maki replied, "Ah, because that guy usually only comes on weekends."

Zhixue Yahuali:?

"That guy?"

Wait a minute... this guy only arrived on the weekend...

This sounds familiar, do I know it?

Zenin Maki probably thought she didn't know who it was, so she didn't say, only replying, "Yeah, a very strong guy."

Zhixue Yahuali: "."

You could say that the other person has a scar on their lip.

Before, Daddy would bring Huihui to the vocational high school every weekend to beat him up—no, I mean, to train him. She had been wondering if Daddy would still stay in the Fuhei family after Fuhei Mingli passed away, but now it seems he still might?

She immediately became interested and wanted to go and see, so she followed Zenin Maki to the playground, where she indeed saw her father beating his son.

The two waited together on the sidelines for the father and son to finish. Origami Karin glanced at Fushiguro Megumi every now and then, thinking how much taller Megumi had grown in the past few years… then she looked at Fushiguro Jinji, thinking, “Hmm, Daddy’s pectoral muscles are still so impressive.”

Unfortunately, she is no longer the Fuhei Mingli who could secretly take advantage of others.

Once Fushiguro Megumi was completely defeated by Fushiguro Shinji, Oriyuki Karin followed Zenin Maki to them.

Fushiguro Megumi pushed herself up from the ground, first greeting Zenin Maki, then noticing Oriyuki Karin, and asked with some surprise, "This is...?"

Zenin Maki didn't offer much of an introduction, simply saying, "My classmate's daughter."

It's okay, Shiki Akahara will go up and make connections herself.

She immediately gave Fushiguro Megumi a sweet smile and said, "Uncle Fushiguro."

Fushiguro Megumi: ?

He glanced at Oriyuki Karin with surprise, then turned his questioning gaze to Zenin Maki.

Zenyuan Maki: "..."

I had to explain: "According to Teacher Xiayou and the others, they traveled from the future in a parallel world, so they might know you from that parallel world."

Parallel world...

Fushiguro Megumi immediately thought of Fushiguro Akari from two years ago.

Fukuro Shigeru, who hadn't paid much attention to the extra person at the scene, glanced at Oriyuki Karin after hearing this.

Just then, Karin Oriyuki was also looking at him.

He was mentally rubbing his palms together vigorously.

Ha! I've got you!

Daddy! Are you ready to take on my new script?

So, in everyone's eyes, the child seemed a little hesitant and asked Fuhei Shen'er, "Um... excuse me... are you... Daddy?"

Upon hearing this title, Fuheshchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

The child was startled and stammered, "N-no... I, I mean... well... before, Mingli-chan was missing for a while... when she came back, she said she'd been with Daddy and Daddy..."

"The adults asked her who her daddy was... She said... her daddy looked just like her father... stronger and more powerful... and had a scar on his lip..."

Zenji Maki glanced at the scar on Fukushiro's lip.

Fuhei Shen'er was now completely certain that the Mingli the other party was talking about was the little troublemaker from before, and his gaze toward Shiki Akahara became even more intense.

Karin Origami pretended to be frightened again, trembling as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Fushiguro Megumi frowned, turned to look at Fushiguro Jinji, and said with disapproval, "You scared him."

Fuhe Shen'er: "."

He scoffed and turned his head away impatiently.

As Yuki Ayaka watched this scene, a question mark appeared in her mind.

Ah... Huihui can now lecture her dad like this?
