The next day, early morning.
A woman dressed like a maid came to the door of Master Yono's bedroom. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she realized that the door wasn't locked. Instead, it was slightly ajar.
A trace of doubt flashed across the maid's face, but she still politely knocked on the door.
"Dang, dang, dang."
However, after waiting for a few seconds, no one responded. This was somewhat different from the habit of the early riser in her memory.
"Probably because he slept late," the maid thought to herself. Then, she knocked on the door again.
"Dang, dang, dang."
However, as she knocked on the door, the door opened slightly under the vibration of her fingers, revealing the situation in the room.
A trace of blood entered the maid's eyes.
The maid's pupils shrunk, and her body trembled as she held the door handle. She was afraid of hurting someone and pushed the door open.
In an instant, the corpse of the middle-aged man with a broken chest appeared in front of her.
"Ah!!" The maid covered her mouth and nose with both hands and subconsciously let out a shrill scream that was comparable to a dolphin.
…
At the same time, in the hotel Sei Itō rented.
As her eyelids trembled, a little girl covered in a white sheet woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and yawned as she sat up on the tatami.
But shortly after, the little girl's movements came to a halt. She quickly recalled what she had seen and heard last night. Her body trembled as she hugged the other little girl beside her and retreated with her.
During this process, the other little girl also woke up from her sleep. She silently hid in the corner of the wall together with the little girl.
"You must be sick, eat something." Sei Itō looked at the two little girls and pointed at the food on the table.
The two little girls didn't move as they trembled and looked at him with a tense expression.
"Sigh, I told you. I won't hurt you. "Sei Itō sighed helplessly. Then he pointed at the clothes on the ground and said, "Those are clothes. Wear them, don't catch a cold."
Then he stood up and walked out of the room.
Behind him, the two little girls stared unblinkingly at his departing figure.
"Hua, bang."
The door closed and closed again, blocking the two of them from observing him.
"Big sister." One of the little girls called out softly.
The little girl who was called elder sister looked at the clothes on the side. Looking at the untouched food on the short table not far away, he nodded hesitantly. Then, he and his sister stood up from the corner, walked to the front of the clothes, and began to put on their clothes. After putting on their clothes, they walked to the short table and quickly finished the food on it.
"Whoosh ~"
Just as the two of them were eating. The door opened and closed again.
Startled, the two hurriedly threw down the food in their hands and hid to the side while holding hands.
"Are you full?" Sei Itō asked as he walked into the house.
The two of them didn't say anything. They just looked at Sei Itō nervously.
"If you're full, then let's head out. Because of what happened last night, this place isn't too peaceful. I don't want the two of you to fall into the hands of Yuan Ye's family again." Ito Sei did not pay attention to the nervousness of the two people. He walked to the luggage that was casually thrown aside and said to himself.
The two of them were still silent.
Regarding this. Sei Itō didn't say anything else. He directly picked up the luggage and walked to the two little girls. He reached out and grabbed one of the little girls' arms, held her hand, and walked out of the house.
With the movement of his arm, the other little girl also staggered a step and followed closely behind.
Along the way, the three of them didn't say anything. They just walked out of the hotel in silence. They got into the taxi that they called in advance and left Mitsumachi. They rushed to the airport of a nearby city and took a plane to another city.
On the plane, Sei Itō suddenly turned his head to look at the two little girls sitting next to him and asked, "Of the two of you, who is Hu Po and who is Jadeite?"
As soon as he said that, the two little girls' eyes were filled with panic.
"I am Hu Po." After a moment of silence. A weak voice came from the mouth of one of the little girls.
"Then you are Jadeite?" Sei Itō looked at the other little girl and said.
The latter shrunk her body in fear and hid her face behind Hu Po's back.
Sei Itō smiled and didn't say anything else.
Just like that, an hour later. The plane landed in another city.
Sei Itō and the other two got off the plane, went through the procedures, and arrived outside the airport.
"Sir," At this moment, an old man quickly walked in front of Sei Itō and greeted him respectfully.
This person was none other than the old housekeeper of the Asakami family that Sei Itō had met several times before.
Sei Itō didn't say anything. He put on the posture of a superior, took Hu Po's little hand, and walked to a black private car parked nearby under the guidance of the old housekeeper. Under the latter's attentive service, he lowered his body and sat in the car.
Then, the old man closed the door, sat in the front passenger seat, and ordered the driver to start the car.
In just more than ten minutes, the car stopped outside the Asakami family's house.
Then Sei Itō, Hu Po, the sisters, and the old housekeeper got out of the car, entered the Asakami family's house, and rested in the assigned guest room.
… …
In the afternoon.
"Onii-san! Onii-san! "At this moment, a crisp call came from outside the house. Then, not long after, with rapid footsteps getting closer and closer, a little girl in a primary school uniform with a pair of strange flat glasses on her face broke into the room.
It was Asakami Toshino who had grown up a little.
"Onii-san, you're back." Asakami Toshino looked at Sei Itō in the house with a happy face. But then, his expression froze, and he looked at the sisters in the room with some curiosity and doubt, and asked, "Onii-san, who are they?"
"Come, let me introduce you." Sei Itō waved his hand.
Asakami Toshino took small steps and walked to Sei Itō's side.
"This is Hu Po. This is Jadeite. She's a person with an ability like you. "Sei Itō smiled.
"Hello, I'm Asakami Toshino, please take care of me." Asakami Toshino looked at Hu Po and Hu Po with shining eyes and introduced himself very politely.
Hu Po and Hu Po did not speak, but returned the greeting with their actions.
"Onii-san, are they mute?" Asakami Toshino, who did not hear Hu Po and Hu Po's conversation, asked Sei Itō with some doubts.
"We're not mute." At this moment, Hu Po's voice sounded.
"Ah? If they're not mute, then why didn't they speak just now? "Asakami Toshino said unhappily.
Although she came into contact with the world that most people don't know, in the end, she was still a child less than ten years old. In addition, she didn't experience the darkness of childhood in the original work, and for some reason, Asakami Yasuzo, who never had a child of his own, gave her some fatherly love. This made Asakami Toshino, who enjoyed a complete family, a lot more cheerful, so it was natural for her to have some childish emotions.
"You can't quarrel. You have to know that Teng is your elder sister, so you have to let them have their way and take care of them, okay? "Sei Itō reached out to stop Asakami Toshino and advised with a smile.
"I know, Onii-san." Asakami Toshino nodded and replied.
"Okay, let me see your progress. If it's not good, there will be punishment. "Sei Itō let go of Asakami Toshino, reached out and grabbed the wooden sword that was leaning on the side and said.
"Watch me." Asakami Toshino said with a face full of confidence, then raised his hand to take off the glasses on his face and turned his head to look to the side.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not speak nonsense and threw the wooden sword in his hand.
Then, in the next moment, there were two crisp sounds, and the wooden sword that was thrown into the air suddenly broke into several pieces, and a large amount of fine wood shavings flew out like dust.
Seeing the end of the wooden sword, Hu Po and Feicui's faces flashed with shock.
"Not bad, Asakami Toshino, you've improved again." Sei Itō clapped his hands and praised.
Asakami Toshino raised his small head with a face full of pride.
"As a reward, I'll take you to the amusement park to play." Sei Itō said.
"Really?" Asakami Toshino said with his eyes shining.
"Yes, really." Sei Itō nodded and confirmed.
"Yay! Onii-san is the best! " Asakami Toshino cheered and quickly ran in front of Sei Itō, reached out his hands to hug his neck, and with a "pa" sound, kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay, go play with Hu Po and Feicui. From today onwards, she's your little sister. Remember to take good care of them." Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Okay." Asakami Toshino agreed, then let go of Sei Itō, walked in front of Hu Po and Feicui, and reached out to grab their hands and said, "Let's go play together."
Hu Po and Feicui subconsciously turned their heads to look at Sei Itō.
"Go." Sei Itō said softly.
Then, without any explanation, Asakami Toshino pulled the two of them out of the house and ran blindly in the courtyard.
Looking at this lively and active Asakami Toshino, who was like an ordinary child, Sei Itō really had a hard time merging her with the Asakami Toshino in the original work, who exuded the aura of a lady from a respectable family with every action. Sei Itō didn't know whether this made or broke Asakami Toshino.
However, in terms of the progression of life, Sei Itō was sure that he had saved Asakami Toshino and given her a different life.
"Forget it, I'll just ask Asakami Toshino's mother to work harder in the future. She's still young anyway, so she can handle it." Sei Itō thought to himself as he shook his head slightly.
Asakami Toshino, who had no idea that her life was about to change, warmly welcomed her two special new companions, Hu Po and Feicui, and took them to leave footprints in her courtyard.
The following night was uneventful, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
After a simple wash and meal, Sei Itō greeted Asakami Yasō and his wife, and took Asakami Toshino, Hu Po, and Feicui to the nearby amusement park to play.
