Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 34

Back at Qianyue's house, Qiuye and the maids were preparing dinner in the kitchen.

"By the way, is Qiu Xue back?" Nozomi Arakawa asked.

"Miss has already gone home." Qiuyue replied, "Is Arakawa-kun looking for Miss?"

"Well, I'll go find her in the living room."

"Wait." Qiuyue stopped Nomo Arakawa, "Today is Friday, and the lady is going to practice the piano. You can find her on the first floor of the West Building."

"Thank you."

Nozomi Arakawa quickly walked towards the West Building.

To be honest, this mansion is not deserted at all during the day, it can even be said to be lively.

The maids who can be seen everywhere are working hard to clean, meticulous, even the portraits in the corridor have to be taken down and cleaned.

But it's not like this every day. This kind of "big cleaning" is only carried out on Fridays. Usually, the maids are very leisurely, and they can even learn flower arranging and violin from Qiu Xue.

Wang Arakawa was going to talk to Qiu Xue about the recent serial murder case. When he came back, he searched for relevant information on his mobile phone.

The strange thing is that the blood of the four murdered women was sucked out. Both the media and the police said that it was a hobby of the perverted murderer, who sucked the blood of the victims with something like a syringe, but Arakawa didn't think that was the case. Most likely it was the work of a ghoul.

But what can't be explained is that the victim's body is still intact.

Rather than being a ghoul, it would be more appropriate to say a vampire.

Nozomi Arakawa heard a beautiful melody.

He followed the sound and found the piano room.

The door of the piano room was not closed, Qianyue Qiuxue sat in front of the piano, her white jade-like fingers twitched briskly on the keys.

The female teacher on the side is guiding Qianyue Qiuxue and pointing out her little problems.

"Then let's stop here today, it seems that someone is looking for you, Qianyue."

The piano teacher exited the piano room and nodded slightly to Arakawa Wang when he passed by him.

"Brother, do you have anything to do with me?" Qiu Xue turned her head and asked.

"I want to talk to you about the latest serial killer."

"As a girl, I'm not interested in murderers." Qiu Xue said, "But since there are serial killers, I've asked my brother to go out less recently, and go home an hour before the gate is closed."

At this time, autumn night came in.

"Miss, Arakawa-kun, it's time for dinner."

"Let's go, brother." Qiu Xue stood up.

Today's dinner is Western-style cuisine. On the table, Qiuxue skillfully uses a knife and fork, while Qiuyue and Qiuye serve the two of them.

It was already six o'clock.

After dinner, in the living room, Qiu Ye leaned over and whispered something in Qiu Xue's ear.

"Brother, I will rest today. You should also rest early and adjust your schedule."

"Does Qiuxue usually rest so early?" Arakawa asked Qiuyue beside him.

"No, Miss usually goes to bed at eight o'clock, maybe I'm too tired today." Qiuyue said, "Do you want to rest too? It's been cold recently, so I prepared a heater."

After thinking about it, there is nothing to pass the time here.

So Arakawa nods his head, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Time flows slowly.

Nozomi Arakawa didn't sleep.

He swung the wedge ball, sweating profusely, exhausting every blow, the sound of the blade tearing the air echoed in the room.

For him, techniques are images that have been performed thousands of times in his mind.

However, his physical strength still needs to be improved. Although the time he sat with the ghost Buddha in the dilapidated monastery improved his physical fitness a lot, it was far from enough. The physical strength of this body can only be said to be stronger than that of ordinary people.

For those ferocious "demons", Nozomi Arakawa's physical fitness is still lacking a lot. To be cautious, he must strengthen his training.

At least let yourself have the ability to protect yourself.

After all, Nozomi Arakawa does not have the concept of "survivor bias".

He clearly knows that certain dangers will come quietly in your inadvertently.

It was almost eight o'clock, and Nozomi Arakawa spent more than an hour exercising his arm muscles.

He didn't count how many times he had swung the wedge, but his arm was very sore.

I sat on the chair and took a rest for a while, added water, and played with my phone for a while, before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock.

Fatigue welled up.

"Go take a shower."

Arakawa put down his phone and walked to the balcony. The water supply system in his room had already been installed.

Turning on the hot water, Nozomi Arakawa soaked comfortably in the bathtub for a while.

When he came out, he was wearing a bathrobe and standing on the balcony, looking at the night view of the city and feeling the coolness of the night wind.

Suddenly, a figure in the courtyard of a mansion attracted Nomo Arakawa's attention.

——Qianyue Qiuxue.

She was wearing a tracksuit, took out the key, opened the door of Qianyue's house, and walked down the road.

"What is Qiu Xue doing out so late?" Arakawa Wang frowned.

But he quickly realized that Qianyue's family was an exorcist's family, and Qiuxue's actions at night naturally discovered the clues of the "demon".

"No, she can't be allowed to move around alone."

Nozomi Arakawa immediately changed into plain clothes for easy activities, and took out the cleaned badminton racket bag from under the bed.

Although the door of the mansion is locked, you can turn it out by yourself, as long as you are careful not to be scratched by the spikes on it.

"dong dong dong"

The door was knocked.

Arakawa stared blankly, at this time, who else will come?

Nozomi Arakawa put the badminton bag in the corner.

"Please come in."

The door opened.

"Arakawa-kun, are you alright?"

In front of me was a smiling girl.

——Autumn night.

"I just took a shower, what can I do now?"

"I just want to check how you are doing here." Qiu Ye said, "If you need to order anything, please just ring the bell next to your bed. I or Qiuyue will come to serve you as soon as possible."

"Well, can I ask one thing?" Arakawa Wang said.

"please say."

"Is the Qianyue family not allowed to go out after eight o'clock in the evening?"

"correct."

"Can anyone break this rule?" Nozomi Arakawa asked tentatively.

"Did you see Miss go out?" Qiu Ye smiled.

"Yeah." Arakawa nodded.

"The owner is an exception." Qiu Ye said, "She has something to do tonight, it's about the company."

"Yes, is that so?" Arakawa stared blankly, "I thought..."

"Think Miss got rid of the demon?"

Qiu Ye shook her head.

"Miss often goes out at night, but please rest assured, when there is nothing important, the lady will obediently abide by the door control."

"Does Qiu Ye know about the exorcism family?" Arakawa asked.

"I know a little bit, after all, she is the maid of Qianyue's family." Qiu Ye said, "Anyway, please rest assured."

"So that's it. Are you going to deal with the company's affairs? Qiuxue is really busy."

Although intellectually, he felt that this set of arguments was not very convincing, but he had no choice but to believe it. After all, it seemed that the maid would not tell him where Qiu Xue was going.

"That's right!" Qiu Ye clapped his hands, "Will Arakawa-kun come to my room to watch TV?"
