Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Daily Living Together (I)
When she woke up the next morning, Yuyin was still confused and hadn't figured out where she was. She just felt that the Simmons mattress under her was too soft, completely different from the bed she was used to sleeping on.
Then she opened her eyes, looked at the luxurious ceiling of the bed, and blinked.
Yes, starting from last night until the end of summer vacation, she will be staying at Keigo Atobe's house most of the time as a personal bodyguard.
After figuring this out, Yuyin reached for the cell phone on the bedside table and saw that it was only seven o'clock in the morning.
Although it wasn't officially vacation yet, as it was the day after the final exams, most students would definitely stay in bed to make up for the brain cells they had lost studying for the exams some time ago. Even Yuyin was no exception. This was what she usually did at home after the exams. Especially when she thought about the upcoming summer vacation, she might even travel through time. The period from the final exams to the summer vacation before the time travel was often her laziest time.
But today is obviously not a good day to stay in bed. As it is her first day (or second day?) of staying at the Atobe family, she must get up early today.
She stood up and opened the curtains, and the dazzling morning light shone into the room through the large European-style windows. Yuyin tapped her phone a few times, and as expected, she received a message from a bad senior.
So she called back and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As she spit out the mouthwash, the phone rang.
"It's rare that you're awake so early, senior." Yuyin complained.
On the other end of the phone, Gojo Satoru chuckled. "Isn't this the image I have to portray to the outside world as a teacher who just lost a student and is a little depressed and unhappy?"
What this means is that it is normal to suffer from insomnia or feel tired when waking up early.
"But thanks to your help in forging Hisahito's 'corpse' yesterday, otherwise, it would have been impossible for Kei to conceal the truth from the higher-ups."
Yuyin wiped her mouth in front of the mirror, her thoughts going back to yesterday.
Since Yuji's original heart was still thrown in the ruins of the juvenile detention center dormitory, it was irrefutable evidence of his death. However, if the higher-ups were to be completely convinced of his death, a body of Yuji without a heart would be necessary.
But by the time Tamane and Megumi Fushiguro discussed the plan to announce to the public that Yuji Itadori was dead, Itadori himself was already alive and well and could jump around. They couldn't take out his heart again and show it to others as evidence.
In the end, it was Yuon who came up with a solution. She made a paper Shikigami out of paper, attached Yuji Itadori's hair to it, and made the paper Shikigami transform into Itadori's appearance, and then disguised it as a corpse that had lost its heart. The paper Shikigami was not a real person, so it could naturally imitate the appearance of stopping breathing, and the hair made him have the aura of Itadori, which could at least deceive Ijichi and other high-level spies in the dark who returned to the scene afterwards.
However, when she saw Hisahito pulling out a handful of his hair and giving it to her as soon as she heard him say that he needed his hair, Yuin was very helpless and gave him some common sense. A sorcerer cannot just leave his things to another sorcerer, curse caster or cursed spirit, because whether it is the sorcerer's name written by himself, or hair, blood or even organs such as limbs, they can all be used as media for curses.
As a result, Itadori didn't get her warning at all. Instead, he raised his hand in sudden enlightenment and said, "I know, I know. This is Kugisaki's ability. She can curse the cursed spirit by hammering nails into its body parts, achieving the effect of destroying the opponent!"
No, you totally missed my point.
After being defeated by the natural boy, Yuyin only took one hair and ordered Yuji to destroy the other hairs. Then he made the corpse that was so lifelike.
Afterwards, Megumi Fushiguro contacted Mr. Ijichi as instructed and informed him of the fact that Yuji Itadori had "sacrificed".
Yuyin herself did not participate in the subsequent events. After all, she is still an illegal in the world of sorcery and cannot appear in front of acquaintances.
Now, hearing the relaxed tone of Senior Gojo on the other end of the phone, she knew that this plan to conceal the truth must have worked.
"I was also shocked when I first saw Yuji's 'corpse'. If you don't use your six eyes to see, it would be easy to be confused. No wonder those rotten orange people couldn't tell the difference. Is this the technique you learned from Shizuka Okada, Yukino-chan? It seems that although their technique is weak, it is not without its merits."
Yuyin rolled her eyes: "In your eyes, what is not weak?"
As a result, Gojo Satoru immediately praised him: "No no no, Yuyin-chan, your [Pure Sea of Rebirth] is very beautiful~"
Yuyin coughed awkwardly and explained, "The two worlds pass down their magic in different ways. While both rely on bloodline and talent, it's precisely because of the decline of bloodline that demon hunters have been able to delve deeper into their magic, and explore a wider range of directions. Unlike the sorcerers, who rely too much on innate techniques and neglect the research and development of common spells."
"It's just that bunch of idiots who are so greedy and greedy that they want all the resources to be concentrated in the hands of families with powerful spells. They don't want ordinary spellcasters to be able to make a name for themselves."
When talking about this matter, Gojo Satoru's tone was a bit disdainful. He had always wanted to reform the world of sorcery, and now he had a glimpse of the trajectory of another world. The demon-hunting world developed in this way without a unified high-level suppression. This made him feel that his plan was correct.
"Then could you, Gojo-sensei, please fulfill your duties as a teacher before reforming the world of spellcasting?"
Thinking of how Yuuhito-kun lacked common sense of spells yesterday, Yuyin felt a headache. "I know that as a special-grade sorcerer, you are too busy with exorcism tasks every day, but at least do your duty as a teacher and teach Yuuhito-kun more. He is different from Hui-kun and Nobara. He entered the world of spells suddenly and knows nothing. If it weren't for me yesterday, he would probably have been..."
When this matter was mentioned, Yuyin suddenly stopped talking.
Gojo Satoru asked, "By what?"
"You just need to know that I can't tell you, but just know it in your heart."
Gojo Satoru immediately understood. The situation that prevented the sorcerer from speaking out must have been restrained. And considering yesterday's situation, it was obviously not the new special-grade one that gave Yuyin a headache, but...
"I understand. I will pay attention from now on. I can take advantage of the opportunity of Yuujin faking his own death to teach him a lesson~"
After hanging up the phone with her senior, Yuyin quickly washed her face and changed her clothes in the dressing room before leaving the room.
A maid had been waiting outside. When she saw her come out, she immediately bowed and said, "Ms. Xiyuanji, breakfast is ready. Please follow me."
*
Yuyin had been to the restaurant during her last visit and actually knew the way. Now, she followed the maid and it took her two minutes to walk to the restaurant.
The dining table in the Atobe family is of British style, more than ten meters long from the head to the foot of the table. At this moment, there is only one person sitting at the first seat, and that is the owner of this place, Atobe Keigo.
As soon as he saw her arrive, he immediately stood up and pulled out the chair beside him. There was only the second set of tableware placed at that position on the table, obviously for her to sit there.
Yuyin originally thought that out of courtesy, she should sit one or two seats away, but seeing this, she could only sit to the side of Atobe.
"How did you rest last night?"
Atobe Keigo asked first, and before she could answer, he added, "I didn't know if you were used to living here, so I didn't send anyone to call you. I just asked them to wait outside the room and bring you to the restaurant when you came out."
"Toeful, you slept soundly." Yuyin complimented casually. It was not a lie. The bedding in the Atobe family was obviously made of real money, and the effect was naturally worthy of its price. She used to run around frequently for tasks and commissions, so naturally she would not have the habit of being particular about her bed.
"That's good," even after hearing what Yuyin said, Atobe Keigo still told her, "If you're not used to it, you can always go to Yamachi and ask him to change the layout according to your preferences."
At this moment, housekeeper Yamaoki and the maid arrived with Saionji Tamon's breakfast and served her the food attentively.
Atobe continued, "I forgot to ask you what you wanted for breakfast yesterday, so I arranged it according to your preferences at the last banquet at the Matsudaira family. If you want anything else in the future, just tell Yamaoki to adjust the menu for all three meals."
Looking at the steaming delicious food, Yuyin was originally very hungry, but after hearing what Atobe said, she suddenly felt a little helpless.
"Keigo," Yuyin put down her knife and fork and said seriously, "I know you've always been like this. As long as they're friends you recognize, you'll do your best to treat them well," just like how Atobe treats the regulars on the tennis club. "But I'm staying at your house to work. You don't have to be so attentive and polite. Just treat me like you would a bodyguard or servant."
Originally, the Atobe family spent a lot of commission to hire security forces from four families, and now it all fell to her alone, which was already a big loss for Atobe. Now her personal salary has been raised so high, which really makes her feel unworthy.
But I am more than just a friend to you!
Atobe Keigo almost blurted out these words. If it wasn't the wrong time, how could he treat Yuyin like an ordinary bodyguard?
"Well, no matter what your reason is for living in my house, Yuyin, the fact that you are my friend will not change, right?"
Atobe Keigo answered with a question, saying directly, "You also said that I always treat my friends like this. Not only you, but also Karachi, Oshitari, and any of them, are treated like this when they stay at my house. You can't ask me to treat you and them differently, right?"
Although in fact, he really wants to be treated differently.
"this……"
Before Yuyin could even think of a rebuttal, the butler Yamaki beside her couldn't help but say, "Miss Saionji, this is how the Atobe family treats guests. If you refuse, Master Jingwu will be upset. Besides, these tasks are nothing, so you don't need to think you're causing us any trouble."
Butler Yamaoki is an elder of the Atobe family who has watched Atobe Keigo grow up. As early as the last incident in the Karuizawa villa, he noticed that his young master had a different attitude towards Saionji Tamon.
Although the old butler doesn't think that just because the young master has finally fallen in love, he must agree with it and give him advice from behind, but he can't just hold the young master back, right?
Although Butler Yamaki was somewhat shocked when he learned that the four bodyguards he and the master and mistress had hired at a high price were all Miss Saionji, his qualities as a professional butler allowed him to quickly recover and secretly restrain the servants in the house, telling them to keep secret any supernatural scenes that might occur after Miss Saionji moved in and not to leak them out.
