After buying everything, Sei Itō didn't delay and directly booked a Shinkansen train ticket back to Yoto. After spending some time, he returned to Yoto. Raising his hand to call a taxi, Sei Itō went to his home in Yoto.
In front of the door of his house, Sei Itō paid the fare and got out of the taxi. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out a package from the dimension. It contained some special products that he bought in Yokohama and prepared to give to several people. Then he opened the door of his house and walked in.
It was still in the afternoon, and it was more than half an hour before the second sister Ito Rita came back from the club. As for the eldest sister, it depends on the situation. If she didn't have a social engagement, she would definitely be home before dinner. If there was something else, then it was uncertain. As for his mother, if she wasn't in the house at this time, then she would be buying groceries at the market.
Sei Itō opened the door and went in and shouted, "I'm back!" But no one responded, so he knew that his mother must have gone to buy groceries.
He took off his shoes, carried his bag into the house, threw the backpack on the sofa, poured a cup of ice water from the kitchen refrigerator, and drank it. Then he returned to the living room and turned on the TV.
After a while, the door opened again, followed by the second sister Rita's "I'm back" call, Rita in her school uniform came in.
"Ah Cheng!" Ito Rita looked at Sei Itō, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV, with some surprise.
"Yo." Sei Itō casually greeted, called the surprised Rita back to reality, then continued to watch TV.
"When did you come back?" Rita quickly returned to her room, changed into a set of home clothes, and returned to the living room again to sit next to Sei Itō and asked.
"Just now, 20 minutes earlier than you came back." Sei Itō looked at his watch and estimated. "By the way, there is a gift for you."
With that said, Sei Itō lay down, reached for the backpack beside him, sat up, and opened it. From the backpack, he took out some small items that he bought in Yokohama. They were all cute and girly items and handed them to Rita.
"These are all for me?" Ito Reina was a little surprised. This was the first time he received a gift from his younger brother after his father's death. He was so touched that tears appeared in his eyes.
"Thank you." Ito Rina took a deep breath and whispered.
"It's nothing. We are a family." Sei Itō replied indifferently, which made Ito Rina's heart warm.
When he was in China, people would buy gifts when they returned home. Although they weren't expensive, it was a token of appreciation. Even though he was reborn as Sei Itō, he didn't change this habit.
After that, the atmosphere between the two of them became better and better. After a while, his mother, Eriko Ito, came back.
"Ah Cheng! You're back. "As soon as Eriko entered the house, she saw Ito Sei talking to Reina and said happily.
"I'm back." Sei Itō got up and saluted.
"Welcome back," Eriko put the things she bought aside, walked quickly to Sei Itō, and hugged him.
"En." Sei Itō responded, somewhat unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, Eriko was the mother of Sei Itō's physical body. Apart from being unaccustomed to it, there were no other adverse reactions.
Releasing Sei Itō, Eriko looked at her son with a smile. But soon, Eriko frowned and stared at Sei Itō with a serious face. "Ah Cheng, why do you have a murderous aura …"
Since there was a murderous aura, then he must have killed before. But generally speaking, killing didn't necessarily result in a murderous aura, because in the human consciousness, killing a lot of animals was natural. Only after killing a certain number of animals would murderous aura form, which was why people felt uncomfortable when they looked at butchers. But as long as someone had killed someone, there would definitely be a murderous aura, which was formed by psychological influence. So the hidden meaning of Eriko's question was, "Have you killed someone before …"
Ito Reina, who was listening to the conversation between the two, quickly thought of the reason, and then her expression changed as she looked at Sei Itō.
Sei Itō was shocked, and then he thought that as a person who cultivated spiritual power, he must be very sensitive to these things. Just now, he was too emotional to be discovered.
Sei Itō didn't panic, and in an instant, he thought of an explanation. "Mother, when I was in Yokohama, I met the Shadowless Demon."
As soon as this was said, everything was explained. As the successor of the Ito Family and a Miko, Eriko was very clear about the names of some demons. As a relatively special demon, the Shadowless Demon was, of course, in her memory. After getting the answer, Eriko subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed.
"Is that so? Ah Cheng, you actually completed the exorcism …" Eriko's expression was somewhat complicated as she whispered. She smiled at the two, went back to the door, picked up the vegetables she bought, and walked to the kitchen.
"Ah Cheng, what is the Shadowless Demon?" Ito Reina looked at her mother's back and asked Sei Itō strangely.
Sei Itō was also stunned by Eriko's expression just now. After Reina asked, he recovered and said, "The Shadowless Demon is a kind of demon that will possess the bodies of people with inflated inner desires and no morals. It survives by sucking their flesh and blood."
"I see." Reina nodded, and then asked about Sei Itō's exorcism process with great interest.
In the end, when it was almost dinnertime, Big Sister Suzu Ito also came home. When she saw Sei Itō, she was very happy. After receiving the gift from Sei Itō, she was so happy that she kissed Sei Itō's forehead, which made Sei Itō feel a little embarrassed. As for the valuable items that he brought back from the Hunter's World, he would give them away when the time was right.
Dinner passed in this joyous atmosphere.
At night, in the grove where Sei Itō first practiced his swordsmanship, Sei Itō and his mother, Eriko, held wooden swords and stood facing each other. That's right, this time Sei Itō was fighting with his mother, Eriko. The two of them got into the starting position of the Ito Family's swordsmanship, and with a loud shout, they launched an attack on each other.
Sei Itō had just learned his swordsmanship not long ago, and had been tested in the Hunter's World. Although he had not used it many times, he was not limited to the moves of the swordsmanship.
His mother, Eriko, had been immersed in the family's swordsmanship for many years, and her swordsmanship was close to completion. When she attacked, there was no limit to her movements, and the changes were at her will.
The two of them competed in the grove. As the battle became more and more intense, the two of them gradually increased the strength and intensity of their attacks. Gusts of wind pressure spread out from the center of the battle, blowing the trees on both sides and making Suzu Ito and Ito Reina's pants fly.
"So powerful …" Reina muttered to herself. It was also the first time she had seen her mother's strength, and what shocked her even more was that her brother, Sei Itō, could actually fight with her mother like this, which made her a little bit of pride in her heart suffer a great blow.
"Yes, so powerful. Not to mention my mother, Ah Cheng's swordsmanship has already entered the next level. If we just compete in swordsmanship, he is already on par with me." Big sister Suzu Ito heard Reina's muttering, and her tone was full of emotion.
While the two of them were talking, the two of them in the field fought a few more times without any results, and after a hard attack, they separated again and stood on the side.
"Phew!" The two of them deeply exhaled a turbid breath.
"Ah Cheng, your swordsmanship has been completed." Mother, Eriko, said with relief, "I think your grandfather will be very happy if he knows."
"Nah, it's still far from being comparable to my mother." Sei Itō said very modestly. He really admired Eriko for being able to train her swordsmanship to this level. How much effort did she have to put in?
"Alright, let's go back."
The three of them returned home together, and Mother, Eriko, called out to Sei Itō, who was about to return to his room.
"Ah Cheng, there are some things I have to tell you." Eriko said with a rarely serious expression.
"What is it?" Sei Itō asked with a serious face, full of doubts.
"When you complete the first exorcism, whether you are willing or not, it means that you have joined that circle, the circle full of ghosts and demons." Eriko held the teacup in her hands and gently turned it, but the blue marks on her hands were a reminder to Sei Itō that Eriko was excited.
"Mother …" Sei Itō called out softly, pulling Eriko back from her thoughts.
Eriko smiled at Sei Itō, indicating that she was fine, and then continued, "Every year, families like ours will undergo an inspection at the end of the year. The inspection party will be jointly selected by the Ministry of Environment's Special Operations Department and Kyoto's Ise Grand Shrine. They will investigate according to the number of people in each household (household register, household register). If they find a new special personnel like you, they will all be recorded, and those who have been killed will also have to be specially recorded."
Most of the city's lines had been explained, and the rest would depend on how to write it ~ Otherwise, it would be a waste of this layer of skin.
