Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 213 Little Thief
Xing Yuanchun trotted out of the coffee shop, holding the small cake packaging bag in his hand.

She bought ten strawberry-flavored cakes, and she and Heyuantian Zhisheng each had half.

But when she came to Heyuan Tianzhisheng and held up the packaging bag in her hand, she realized that there was something wrong with the face of the tall man in front of her.

He looked at the billboard on the tall building opposite, his face was as hard as a rock, and his masseter muscles were tense.

"What happened...?" Xing Yuanchun asked cautiously.

Although the man in front of her is her only support now, she still has a faint fear of He Yuantian Nao Katsu in her heart.

"It's nothing..." Heyuan Tian Zhisheng slowly withdrew his gaze, his face softened a little, "Let's go."

Xing Yuanchun nodded cautiously.

The quick-witted little girl realized something too, but all she could do now was try to be as good as she could.

It was getting late, Nozomi Arakawa had just finished his dinner.

He came to the living room, but Qiu Xue was nowhere to be seen.

"Strange, didn't that girl leave after eating first? Could it be that she was in the room?"

It was Qiu Ye who walked into the living room with a broom, because the living room hadn't been cleaned in a day or two, so it had to be cleaned thoroughly.

Because Miss Qiuxue doesn't like places with too much dust.

"By the way, Qiu Ye, do you know where Qiu Xue went?" Arakawa Wang asked.

"This... I don't know, Arakawa-kun, do you have something to do with Miss?" Qiu Ye who was cleaning stopped her hands and said, "Maybe Miss has gone for a walk in the garden, I suggest you do the same. Go and see, take a walk after dinner to help digestion."

"Really, I got it, thank you." Nozomi Arakawa said, "Qiu Xue will also go to the garden after dinner, I thought she would come here to sit and read a book."

"Arakawa-kun, it's wrong to think so. Humans are not machines, so they don't follow fixed actions." Qiu Ye shook her index finger, "Miss used to sing nursery rhymes after dinner."

"Qiu Xue can sing?" Arakawa looked at him for a moment, his sister is really versatile!
"That's right, Miss used to have a professional vocal teacher." Qiu Ye said, "Miss sings very well!"

"Okay, I see, thank you." Arakawa waved at Qiu Ye, "Then I'll go find Qiu Xue."

Arakawa looked at the entrance, and sure enough, he found Qiu Xue's indoor shoes in the entrance.

It seems that she really went out.

Arakawa Wang came to the garden to look for Qiu Xue as Qiu Ye said.

The garden in spring is very beautiful, with cherry blossoms, narcissus, magnolia, jasmine, and pansy in full bloom, and some less common flowers, such as michelia, calla lily, wisteria, blue sage, etc., will also be here time to bloom.

Although it was late, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the flowers seemed to have a holy feeling.

Walking through the spring garden, Arakawa spotted Qiuxue in a pavilion. She seemed to be doing something now, with blue lines exuding on her arms.

Arakawa knew that it was a magic circuit.

"Could it be that Qiu Xue is practicing magic here alone?" He couldn't help but wonder.

"Qiuyuki." Nozomi Arakawa called out in a low voice.

Qiu Xue turned her head: "Brother?"

A blue light lit up around her, and Qiu Xue said, "Is brother here for a walk?"

"Hmm... Qiuxue, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, just repairing the barrier around the mansion." Qiu Xue said lightly.

"Um... I'm here to discuss something with you." Arakawa was about to get straight to the point.

"What is it?" Qiu Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Nozomi Arakawa to come to discuss things with her.

"I might have to go out later." Nozomi Arakawa licked his lips, "Going to a classmate's house..."

For some reason, when he lied in front of Qiu Xue, he felt guilty...

"Really...can I ask when my brother will come back?" Qiu Xue said.

"Um... I'll probably spend the night there, right?" Nozomi Arakawa said, "I'll go directly to school the next day."

Qiu Xue didn't say anything, she just took out her phone and glanced at the time on it.

"Then please hurry up, brother, it's already [-]:[-], and you can still reach the city if you take a taxi... What's wrong?"

Qiu Xue looked at Nozomi Arakawa who was a little surprised and said.

"I thought you wouldn't let me go..." Arakawa Wangxin said, he had already prepared two or three sets of words to persuade Qiu Xue.

Seemingly seeing Nomo Arakawa's thoughts, Qiu Xue said.

"As long as you don't leave at night, please be sure to come back before dark when you go out to play. If it's past nine o'clock, or it's too late, then I suggest brother to live in your classmate's house, or find a hotel alone Living, anyway, don't walk in the streets and alleys at night..."

Hearing Qiu Xue's crackling talk, Wang Arakawa understood one thing. Qiu Xue didn't let her go out at night not because of the damn access control time, but because she wanted to protect her own safety.

The gate of ghosts is gradually opening, presumably Qiu Xue must know about this.Night is the cloak of demons, providing them with the best opportunity and concealment to commit crimes. So far, many incidents of demons committing crimes have been completed at night.

That's why Qiuxue didn't let herself go out... No, not only herself, but also Qiuyue and Qiuye.Qiuxue wants to tie all her close people around her to avoid the invasion of monsters.

"I understand, don't walk at night, right, I will pay more attention." Arakawa Wang turned back and said, "Then I will go first."

"Be careful on the road...Brother." Qiu Xue tried to raise her right arm to the height of her chest, and waved to Arakawa Wang's back.

20:00 pm.

Tokyo Metropolitan National Museum.

There is no one here, only the security personnel patrolling the perimeter are active, and only those with special passes can enter.

A figure flipped into the wall, then jumped high, crawling on the baroque building.

His figure is very sensitive, as swift as a monkey in a dense forest.

Soon he climbed up to the roof along the pipes on the outer wall and walked across the roof.

In this way, not only can you avoid the recording of the surveillance camera, but also avoid the inspection of the surrounding security personnel.

The visitor was very professional, wearing a black tights, and the soles of the feet were cushioned with silent cotton, allowing people to move quickly and quietly.

As if he was familiar with the internal structure of the building, he soon arrived at the southwest corner. Working from top to bottom, he used high-temperature cutting equipment to melt the glass, entered the building, and came to the place where the ancient knives were stored secretly and safely.

Suddenly a red sword caught his attention, he took a few nervous and quick breaths, took out some professional tools from his backpack, and quickly disarmed the security system of the bulletproof storage cabinet.

　Sorry for being late.
