You will only return to reality after two days.
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand at all.
Reiko lowered her eyes.
Her fingers gently moved the cherry blossom cake in the box. "His body is still very weak.
He is not suitable for missions. "
"Just because of this? His body is weak only because he lacks spiritual power. As long as you sign a contract with him, his body will naturally recover to its peak.
Even if he is injured, as long as you put your hands in for him, he will quickly recover! "
"No need." Reiko still insisted. "That child probably doesn't want to go with me now!"
"Why?" Fox's Assistance did not understand. He had just seen the two of them protecting each other. They were clearly very harmonious. What on earth …?!!!!
Suddenly, the fact that the Five Tigers Retreat had been waiting for Lord Sumino's return flashed through Fox's Assistance's mind. Even though he had already guessed it, he still confirmed it with Reiko again.
"Master,
Could it be that you haven't told the Five Tigers Retreat that the former God's Inquisitor is dead and will not return? "
He had shown her the information back then in order to use her to let the Fu Mourning God, who still had some expectations, give up.
Quickly assimilate This Pill.
Who knew that she did not say anything at all.
No wonder the Five Tigers Retreat was unwilling to sign a contract with her.
"He doesn't need to know about this … and …" She thought of something.
Reiko paused.
"And what?"
"Nothing!" Reiko looked up and glanced at him. She shouted in a low voice, "You are not allowed to say anything either! Otherwise, see how I will deal with …?!!!! "
Before Reiko could finish her threat, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly got up and opened the paper door.
With a "whoosh", the young man who was half-kneeling and leaning against the wall in the corridor next to the room appeared in her line of sight.
The young man's face was pale. His large golden eyes were bloodshot. He stared blankly in front of him. Large drops of tears rolled down Yuanyuan's eyes as he cried silently.
"Little Retreat!!" Reiko's heart clenched and she rushed over. Just as she was about to help him up, her hands were slapped away. The Five Tigers Retreat looked up at her with misty eyes and said word by word, "Don't. Touch. Me!"
His voice was extremely cold, like an icicle under the eaves of a house in the depths of winter, cold and piercing. For a moment, Reiko's entire body turned cold, and she actually froze on the spot.
The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat tilted his head slightly and looked at the panicked Fox's Assistance who came out right after Reiko. Because his legs were weak, he could only stagger up by supporting himself against the wall. Then, he avoided Reiko's outstretched hand and staggered two steps toward Fox's Assistance. "Mr. Fox's Assistance, you're lying, aren't you? My Lord is only leaving temporarily. He will return! She didn't … she didn't … "
He couldn't say the word "die" no matter how hard he tried. The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat was already sobbing and collapsed to the ground again.
Fox's Assistance knew that he had caused trouble, but he didn't know how to explain. He looked at the manager's pained expression and then looked at Reiko's extremely worried expression. He gritted his teeth and decided to put on a serious expression. He said word by word, "I'm not lying. This is the truth. Lord Sumino is dead. She died the day she left This Pill and returned to the modern world."
"No! I don't believe it! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat roared in despair.
Sensing their master's emotional fluctuations, the little tigers ran from the end to his side and howled anxiously. However, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat didn't respond to them. Instead, he stared at Fox's Assistance with tears in his eyes. "Explain yourself!"
The atmosphere instantly froze. Fox's Assistance opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to respond. He could reveal some things, but there were some things that he couldn't say … Or rather, he absolutely couldn't say them out loud.
Therefore, another person in the room spoke up.
"Little Retreat, your Lord Sumino is indeed dead."
"No! I don't … "The manager of the Five Tigers Retreat turned his head abruptly and stared at Reiko, who had been treating him gently, as if he couldn't believe it. However, the determination and certainty in her amber eyes collided heavily with the protective shell that he erected.
His heart trembled. The Five Tigers Retreat lowered his head in panic. It was as if he was in the middle of winter and his entire body was cold.
Reiko looked at the way he was trying to escape. How could she not understand what was going on? What she had always guessed was confirmed at this moment.
In fact, she didn't care if the Five Tigers Retreat accepted her or not. However, she couldn't bear to see such a cute and kind child restrict his freedom.
He deserved to be loved. Whether it was her or Cheng Ye, they both thought so.
Therefore, even if the process was cruel, she had to do it.
Listening to her footsteps getting closer and closer, the manager of the Five Tigers Retreat seemed to have sensed something. He hugged his trembling body and subconsciously shrank back.
Reiko knelt on one knee in front of him and called out softly, "Little Retreat …"
"No, don't come over …" The Five Tigers Retreat pleaded with a sobbing voice.
"Little Retreat, you know about this, right?"
"No … I don't know anything! Please, don't say anything else! "
"Lord Xia Mu?" Fox's Assistance seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.
Reiko knew that this was cruel, but since she had already started, she could only choose to continue.
"Little Retreat, you've been running away for long enough …" Reiko's warm palm gently rubbed his white hair. Then, she slid down and lifted his lowered head. Looking at the little face that was already covered in tears, she said the cruelest part.
"Your Lord Sumino is already dead … You knew about this a long time ago, didn't you?"
"W-what?!" Fox's Assistance's eyes instantly widened.
"I-I … don't … know … anything … Ugh … Wah …"
The illusion that he had created for himself for a long time was instantly exposed and shattered into pieces. His anger and grief gathered together and turned into a broken cry that resounded throughout This Pill.
"Little Retreat … You should accept reality."
…
The Five Tigers Retreat didn't know how he left that place. When he returned to his small room, he locked himself in and hugged his knees as he sat in the corner. Fox's Assistance and Reiko's words kept echoing in his mind.
"Lord Sumino is already dead."
"He was already dead the day he returned to the modern world."
"You should have known about this a long time ago, right?"
"You should accept reality."
Tears flowed down along the dried tear stains again.
Yes, he actually knew that Lord Sumino was already dead. He had been lying to himself all this time.
Lord Sumino had been in charge of This Pill for a total of ten years. As the first knife of This Pill, he had always been very favored. Even the first knife couldn't compare to the first knife, Jia Zhou Palace. He was often the one who accompanied Lord Sumino as his personal attendant. Therefore, when Lord Sumino's body had problems three years ago, he was the first to notice.
Because she had always been careless, they didn't notice even when the frequency of her falling on flat ground increased. It wasn't until he noticed that she seemed to be unable to control her limbs occasionally. Afraid that others would be worried, Lord Sumino told him not to tell the other Fu Mourning God and to return to the modern world to see a doctor as soon as possible.
That time, Lord Sumino returned from the modern world after almost a month. She then told him that she was indeed sick, but had been cured by the doctor.
He was relieved. He never thought that Lord Sumino, who never lied, would lie to him. He didn't know how she did it. She didn't show any symptoms of illness usually, but slowly, she stopped eating with them. She used the excuse of having family matters in the modern world to return home more and more often. The time she spent in This Pill became shorter and shorter. In the last year, she came back almost once a week. Every time she came, she would hurriedly arrange things and then leave.
Because they never thought that she would lie, everyone felt guilty and blamed themselves for not being able to help her share the burden in the modern world. However, they didn't realize that she was sick. A very serious illness.
Until the day she left This Pill forever. That night, his little tiger seemed to have felt something and secretly ran out. When he went out to look for it, he happened to see her leaving under the cover of the night.
He realized that something was wrong and ran over to ask. In the end, he was knocked unconscious by her spiritual power. However, probably because she was already at the end of her rope, she didn't use much strength, so he quickly regained consciousness … In a daze, he felt her warm hand caressing his head again and again. He heard her crying and apologizing, saying that she was sick and was about to die, so she couldn't stay any longer.
He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't open his eyes. When he woke up again, she had already left.
Everyone thought that she just went home and didn't say goodbye because she was in a hurry. He also hoped that was the case. However, his hope was shattered the next day. Fox's Assistance came over to tell them that Lord Sumino had resigned from his job as the God's Inquisitor. The Government of the Hour would find a new God's Inquisitor as soon as possible.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't understand why the girl who smiled at them yesterday suddenly left. When they asked Fox's Assistance, Fox's Assistance only said that it was because of Lord Sumino's personal reasons.
There were many times when he wanted to open his mouth and tell everyone what he heard that night. However, when he saw that his brothers were still confident that she was only delayed by something and would come back sooner or later, he didn't dare to say it. He didn't dare to say that she was about to die or that she might have already died.
Later, Fox's Assistance said that the new God's Inquisitor who would take over This Pill never came, and My Lord didn't come back either. His companions and the various Highnesses couldn't maintain their human forms because of the exhaustion of their spiritual power. They gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Unknowingly, only he and his little tiger were left. He knew that before Lord Sumino left, he had instilled his remaining spiritual power into him. That was why he could hold on until the end.
However, how could a person persevere without hope? Therefore, he kept lying to himself. What he heard that night was a dream. My Lord was only unable to take care of This Pill because of the Modern World. Once she was done, she would definitely come back …
However, the lies he weaved were like bubbles. With a "pop" sound, they were ruthlessly punctured by her.
Feeling wronged, he turned around twice in place. Then, he went to the kitchen and carefully pushed the door open with his paws.
At the dining table, Reiko had already brought the Five Tigers Retreat to continue eating. However, compared to Reiko who calmly ignored Fox's Assistance, the Five Tigers Retreat who had relaxed after the matter was resolved were eating with their cheeks puffed up as they peeked at the fox who had snuck in.
Fox's Assistance was holding a broken glass heart. After smelling the delicious stewed chicken in the air, he immediately revealed his true colors. His fox face looked like he was salivating.
The Five Tigers Retreat paused. When My Lord was still alive, Fox's Assistance actually took good care of them. After My Lord left, Fox's Assistance even came to visit them and promised to find a suitable successor for them. However, because he and his brothers kept asking him about My Lord's whereabouts, he didn't dare to come again.
Seeing Fox's Assistance's pitiful appearance, the Five Tigers Retreat couldn't bear to see him like this. They observed Reiko's expression and carefully picked up a piece of chicken breast and handed it to Fox's Assistance.
Hu Zhizhu's eyes lit up. He said thank you in a small voice, and then he swallowed the meat and bones into his stomach with a crunching sound.
During this time, Reiko didn't say anything. The Five Tigers Retreat continued to pick up a few more pieces. Seeing that he didn't eat much and gave all of it to Fox's Assistance's stomach, Reiko helplessly blocked his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Eat more. You eat so little. Even the little tiger eats more than you. No wonder people think that I'm abusing you!"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned.
