Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 3 Family
With the sound of the key being inserted into the lock, the door of the apartment was opened.

"I am back."

Nozomi Arakawa put on his indoor shoes at the entrance, and walked towards the living room.

"Oh, Xiao Wang, hurry up and get ready for dinner!"

"Welcome back."

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my mother busy in the kitchen, and my father was sitting leisurely on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

"Hey, why did you bring such a dirty badminton bag back?" Father Arakawa Gen said in surprise.

"Oh, this one, I accidentally got it dirty when I was playing badminton with the old grandpas in the park, so I brought it back to clean it, and I plan to return it to others tomorrow."

Nozomi Arakawa scratched his head with a smile, of course he couldn't say oh my dear old father, your son came back with a knife and was going to slap those bad guys hard on the ass.

"Really, Xiao Wang, don't do any exercise these days, didn't you just go out for a walk? What if the condition gets worse?" Mother Arakawa Rin's nagging sounded.

"It doesn't matter. Didn't the doctor say that there is nothing serious about it? Doing some exercise from time to time is good for recovery."

Saying that, Nozomi Arakawa helped to serve the meal.

Arakawa Lin's craftsmanship is very good. The table is full of delicious dishes, as well as ginseng soup and chicken soup, almost all of which are supplementary dishes. In order to let her son who had a car accident make up for it, Arakawa Lin has taken great pains.

"Drink more of this chicken soup." Arakawa Lin ladled up the soup for Arakawa Wang, "I saw that chicken soup is a tonic in Chinese recipes, which can replenish qi and blood."

"Chicken soup can nourish Qi and blood?"

Although Arakawa Wang had doubts, but with his mother's nerves, she obviously wouldn't care about these things. I guess she was mistaken and confused the names of donkey-hide gelatin and chicken soup, but for the sake of her son, All mothers are the same.

The family ate happily. Although he was in a bad mood, Nozomi Arakawa did not show his unhappiness on his face, at least not to worry his parents.

The news was on the TV.

"Recently, Tokyo police found a dead body in an alley in Shijichocho. The deceased was a male with multiple bites and tears all over his body. It was suspected of being attacked by a wild dog. This is the second death since this month. Residents please night Travel carefully and prevent stray dogs, the police will strengthen patrols at night..."

"Could it be rabies?" Yuan Arakawa picked up a piece of meatball, "It's time for the recent stray dogs to be dealt with, Xiaowang, you don't want to feed those stray dogs and stray cats recently, understand?"

"Ah, okay."

Arakawa Wang nodded in agreement, and the moment he lowered his head, anger flashed in his eyes.

If it wasn't for some reason that he was resurrected, there would be more than two deaths this month.

Damn it, the feeling of being licked out is so uncomfortable... But the food is still delicious, and I can have another bowl.

"By the way," Arakawa Wang suddenly remembered something, "Didn't it say that there are guests coming tonight, why is there no one?"

"Ah, guest..." Rin Arakawa smiled wryly, "Do you still remember the children from Qianyue's family who played with you in the house of your hometown eight years ago?"

"A child from Qianyue's family?"

Arakawa was stunned for a moment, and then searched for the memory of "Qianyue" in his mind.

In my memory, Qianyue's family seems to be a well-known family. At that time, I still lived with my grandfather, very close to Qianyue's house, and my grandfather seemed to have contacts with people from Qianyue's family, so I often ran over to play.

"I remember... At that time, I seemed to often play with the children of Qianyue's family." Arakawa Wang said.

"That's right, that was already eight years ago. At that time, your mother and I were too busy with work, so I handed you over to your grandfather. I remember that when we went to visit you, you always talked with me with excitement." Let's introduce your little friends, oh, thanks to them for taking care of you."

"So the guest is—"

"It's the child of Qianyue's family, Qianyue Qiuxue, the girl who follows your butt all day, have you forgotten? You were still catching butterflies together in the maple forest in autumn!" Arakawa Lin smiled.

"It's her."

The appearance of that shy little girl appeared in my mind, she always followed behind me, holding the baby bear in one hand, and holding the corner of her clothes in the other.

Although Qianyue Qiuxue came from a good background, due to her strict family education, she didn't have many friends.Perhaps in her childhood, she was one of the few peers who could be called playmates.

"But why didn't she come?" Arakawa asked.

The parents looked at each other, and Gen Arakawa finally spoke.

"It's like this. She has something to do today, so she can't come."

"Why do you lie like this? When you two lie to me, you always exchange eyes secretly like this."

"Really? Haha." Yuan Arakawa put down his glass in embarrassment, "If you find out, there is nothing you can do."

"Actually, your father, my work has not been going well recently. The business has dropped a lot, and the company has been in a state of loss recently. The boss is considering layoffs. Dad, I am worrying about this matter, and then I received Qiu Xue. The child's letter, she said that she can provide Dad and your mother with a well-paying and high-paying job in Chicago..."

"That's right." Arakawa Wang grabbed his job, "Isn't this pretty good? You guys go!"

"Originally, this opportunity was pretty good, but I couldn't bring you there. You just had a car accident and you still need to be taken care of, so your mother and I had a hard time rejecting her, and then the child didn't come here , I guess she was hurt, we really wasted her efforts."

"I'm so touched that you guys can stay, mom, please give me another bowl of rice."

Nozomi Arakawa didn't care much about this kind of thing. For him who had already died once...to be precise, twice, he really understood the value of life, money and other external things can't be earned, as long as enough is enough, When the day comes, the family is so poor that we can all find a way to tide over the difficulties together, wouldn't it be great?

There will always be miracles and hopes, and they will only bloom where life flourishes.

When a person dies, there is really nothing left.

"By the way, my body is almost recovered. Is it time to go back to school?"

"Are you in such a hurry? Do you want to stay at home for a few more days and observe." Arakawa Lin was a little worried.

"No, it's a big deal. I'll go to the hospital for an examination when I get home from school tomorrow. If there is any problem, I will continue to rest at home."

"I think it's okay." Yuan Chuan said, "Staying at home all the time won't do. Mushrooms will grow on your head after a long time."

"However, Xiao Wang's personality has become a little more cheerful recently." Arakawa Lin was a little relieved.

"It's okay." Nozomi Arakawa sighed, "After all, after the car accident, I wanted to open up many things, not only my head, but also my stomach..."

"Haha, Xiao Wang is already joking." Gen Arakawa laughed, "Although this joke is not funny."

Nozomi Arakawa didn't say much, and ate in silence.

After taking a shower after dinner, Nozomi Arakawa went back to his room and carefully ironed his school uniform.

He didn't turn on the light, and the cold moonlight shone in through the window, reflecting the white light on the floor.

Nozomi Arakawa unzipped the badminton racket bag, and took out the knife——Kedgemaru.

As the night gradually deepened, he sat cross-legged on the bed, stroking the quaint handle of the knife, recalling the skills of the wolf that his body had learned in his mind.

The moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and only a small number of residents' homes on the street were still lit.

Where is that murderer wandering around at this time?
A downtown alley?
Or is it a remote park?

"It's so scary..."

Arakawa walked to the window. There was no light in the window next door, and his parents had already fallen asleep.

"I'm really scared that you're going to come here and endanger my life, hurt my family..."

Nozomi Arakawa slowly pulled out the wedge pill, the blade reflected a forlorn luster.

"So before that... I will only feel at ease if I kill you first."
