Chapter 256: The Immortal Witch Little Devil Chris
"Um?"
"I have you by my side." Chrissy put her arm around her and said coquettishly, "Besides, I'm grown up now, sir."
"That toy store is full of children. I don't want to be shopping for dolls with them."
"What's the big deal?" Lin Xi touched his nose and disagreed.
Dolls are too childish for children, but just right for adults.
Haven’t you seen how phenomenal xxMart is in another world?
But it doesn’t matter. If Chris wants it, she can buy it. If she doesn’t want it, forget it. Either way is fine.
The money in this world is like the game coins hoarded by old players. There is always so much that you can’t remember how much it is.
"Since you don't like it, then don't go." Lin Xi let Chris hold her arm. "The clothes will be packed and delivered to your home by the store staff. Let's go, miss—the fireworks display is about to start, and we need to choose an open area to watch it."
Chris smiled ladylikely, "Of course, sir."
…
Shibahara House.
Chris sat quietly at her desk, looking at the textbook in front of her.
Since being taken out of the laboratory, Chris has been living in Mr. Ghost's house for nearly a month.
Peaceful days always pass quickly. With daily interactions, Chris gradually gets to know Mr. Ghost better.
As Master Shibahara, he is steady, generous, handsome, magnanimous, and gentle, possessing a truly aristocratic air, beloved by his servants. But for Chris, beneath these traits lie even deeper, hidden qualities visible only to her—mystery, strength, humor... and even childishness.
Although they had only been together for such a short time, Chris had already keenly sensed that Mr. Ghost had an aura that did not belong to this era.
What nobleman of this era would always cook his own meals and happily share them with the servants, as he did? Who would allow a female member of his household to learn knowledge far beyond the knowledge of an adult male university student of that era, and be so confident that she could do it, even though she wasn't really his distant cousin? Who else possessed the uncanny ability to appear anywhere like a ghost and transform into a physical form at any time?
God...
He must be one of the gods, as the Japanese often like to believe.
Chris looked at the physics book in front of her and explained the existence of Mr. Ghost with her materialistic worldview that had long since collapsed.
This is also the reason why he did not show any limitations of the times - the term "limitations of the times" was also something Chris learned in the past month - Mr. Ghost had long surpassed the narrow century-long vision of ordinary people. A god who had experienced many changes in the world would not be bound by the ideas of ordinary people.
But if this is the explanation, Chris will be even more curious about the purpose of Mr. Ghost "coming down to the mortal world".
Playing games? That sounds like a reasonable reason, but there's more to it than that.
Mr. Ghost must have his reasons for taking me away from the laboratory...
Just as I was thinking about this, a voice came from outside the door.
Chrissy pricked up her ears.
She heard Lin Xi greet the maid cheerfully: "Thank you for ironing my coat, Miss Mariko."
Sounds like he's getting ready to go out.
Chris's heart moved.
These days, Mr. Ghost always goes out to work and comes back very late.
If he went out for a social event, his clothes would have neither the smell of tobacco that gentlemen like to smoke nor the fragrance of women's cosmetics.
Speaking of going out to work...what kind of job would make Mr. Ghost go out so early and come back so late?
Chris couldn't resist her curiosity.
Relying on Mr. Ghost's favor towards her, Chris wants to do something bold.
She waited quietly for a while, until the noise in the corridor completely disappeared, then she jumped lightly from the table and opened the door.
Seeing that there was no maid outside the door, Chris blinked and quietly slipped into Mr. Ghost's bedroom.
Thankfully, Mr. Ghost's bedroom was on the same floor as hers, so she didn't need to go up and down the stairs to attract unnecessary attention.
The room was filled with the familiar scent of soap and orange blossoms, and Chris couldn't help but sniff it like a cat sniffing catnip.
——The smell of Mr. Ghost is everywhere... I love it!
But Chris didn't forget what she was going to do.
She quickly glanced around the room and opened the wooden wardrobe in the room.
The wardrobe is filled with neatly arranged clothes, all men's shirts and suits, with basically no other styles except formal suits and windbreakers.
Chris was not surprised by this - Mr. Ghost has always been like this.
She picked and chose among them and finally picked out a dark-colored, low-key style shirt. She took the clothes in front of the mirror and compared them with her figure repeatedly.
Then he put the clothes on himself.
The coat that fit Mr. Ghost perfectly was a bit out of place on her. The hem of her shirt fell to her thighs. Chris dug out a pair of trousers and, with great effort, tucked the hem of her shirt into the size-one trousers, barely holding them up with a belt. She also rolled up the extra trouser leg.
After finishing everything, Chris looked at her success in the mirror.
It was better than she had imagined - Chris was over fifteen years old now, and it was the time for her to grow. She had grown rapidly in the laboratory before Mr. Ghost came, and now she was only a head and a half taller than him.
Although the clothes are big, they can still be worn.
Chris nodded.
She touched her collar, hesitated, and opened another wardrobe to find out where her tie was.
However, what came into view surprised Chris.
The closet next to the men's closet was filled with women's clothing.
These women's clothes were not as fancy as Chris's dresses, but they were of excellent style and taste - the same style as Mr. Ghost's clothes, elegant and sophisticated.
Why is there a closet full of women's clothing in Mr. Ghost's bedroom?
Suddenly, countless guesses emerged in Chris's mind.
She took a deep look at the wardrobe and closed the door. She didn't bother to look for her tie at this moment. Finally, she tidied up her clothes and went out.
She lowered her head and walked quickly. The maid downstairs opened her eyes wide in surprise when she saw her weird clothes. Chris raised her head and made a hushing gesture to her.
She had no psychological burden of disguising herself as a man, so she asked the maid, "Did Mr. Oizumi go out with his brother?"
The maid nodded.
"Then please go and call Mr. Oda over." Chris had never been a young lady before, but within a month she had mastered the airs of a young lady, becoming quite natural at bossing people around. "I have something to tell my cousin, and I need him to take me to him."
Mr. Daquan is Linxi's driver, and he was also the driver who took them back the day she brought Chris back.
Mr. Oda is the gardener of the house. But he doesn't live in the house like other servants. Chris noticed that he would drive over every morning at a certain time - he must be someone who lives nearby and he has a car and can drive.
Mr. Ghost has always been very generous with money, and Mr. Oda would not refuse the employer's sister's small request.
"Ah, Miss, Mr. Shibahara is probably out on business. If you have something urgent to say, please ask him to pass on a message for you—"
"—I already told you I want to talk to my cousin." Chris said impatiently, "I want to talk to him in person, in person, do you understand?"
The maid lowered her head.
"Yes, miss."
As Chris expected, Mr. Oda did not refuse her request.
He obeyed Chris's words graciously and started the car. "But, miss, I don't know the address of the master's office. Where should we go?"
Fifteen-year-old Chris was very calm: "Turn to the left, please drive faster, Mr. Oda."
It sounds like a random direction, but it's not actually the case - there are only two roads in front of Shibahara's house, one leads to the village, from which you can directly get on the highway - the other leads to the city, which is the road Chris came from.
Mr. Ghost usually wears a suit when he goes out. Obviously, he is not going to the village. Similarly, he will not go to other cities by taking an uncomfortable way such as taking a car on the highway.
Then there is only the road on the left that leads to the city.
Chris remembered that this road would only branch off after a long time of driving. And it had not been long since Mr. Ghost left. If they drove fast, they would soon see Mr. Ghost's car.
Mr. Oda didn't waste any time and quickly sped up. Soon, they saw Mr. Ghost's car.
A low-key and luxurious black vehicle - actually it's not that low-key. Chris doesn't know much about cars, but Mr. Ghost's car is brand new and shiny, with a beautiful model, and it's obvious that it's expensive.
"Mr. Oda." Chris smiled sweetly. "Now, could you please slow down and catch up with my brother's car? I believe you can do it."
"Ah, miss, isn't this a bit bad—"
"——Hmm?" Chris's smile suddenly disappeared. "Brother has been very busy lately and has no time to play with me. I just want to follow him, it's not like I'm doing anything bad. Mr. Oda, don't you want to help me?"
Oda:......
How dare he? He is just a gardener.
The lady in front of me is the one who is pampered by her employer.
I never thought that Miss Chris, who usually looks gentle and cute, would reveal her devilish tail when Mr. Shibahara couldn't see her!
He slowed down reluctantly.
Chris silently noted the path they had taken.
That’s right, this was the road that Mr. Ghost took her after she left Baijiu Pharmaceutical that day.
The gardener's plain car followed behind the black car.
At such a close distance, Chris thought, Mr. Ghost must have discovered it.
But until now, the black car showed no intention of stopping and was still driving at the same speed as before.
Is it indulgence?
Or maybe she got full marks on the quiz last night, so Mr. Ghost didn't care about her small infraction today?
Chris licked her lips, still feeling a little nervous.
This sudden whim of tracking was not just out of curiosity about what Mr. Ghost was doing outside...
Chris also wanted to test his bottom line.
Under what circumstances would that face show an angry expression because of her?
