shadow of nothingness

When she opened her eyes, she felt a little strange.The scene in front of him suddenly changed from a modern street to an ancient one.

"Hey, get out of the way!"

Several children ran past Qianqian and gave her a vicious look.

There are various stalls on both sides of the street.

"A lot of people..." Looking at the surrounding scene, Qianqian couldn't help sighing, "Is this...the world of corpses and souls?"

"Kurosaki-kun... probably never see you again..."

I don't know why Qianqian suddenly felt sad, she walked to the side of the street with her head down, leaning against the cold wall.

"Hey?"

A strange voice suddenly sounded in the ear, and there was a warm touch on the shoulder.

She raised her head in doubt, and soon Qianqian was stunned at the beginning.Pointing at the other party with trembling fingers, "...you are...just now..."

Standing in front of him was the Grim Reaper he had just met, but he was not wearing the black clothes he had seen before, but an ordinary kimono.

"Yo, what a coincidence. I'm Nanase Taku, how about you?"

"...Shimizu, Qianqian." Because she was still in a trance, Qianqian unconsciously announced her name.But soon came back to his senses, "What do you want me to do by bringing me to this place where no one knows me! I want to go back!"

"It's impossible to go back," Nanase stretched out her little finger and put it in her ear and twirled it gently, "The only one who can go to this world is the god of death, or else it will be reincarnated."

"Reaper...what the hell is..."

"Well, it should be counted as a profession." Nanase said and blew on her fingers, "But it's dangerous, if you want to go back, there is only one way, and that is to study at Maou Academy of Spiritual Art and then become a god of death. "

"..." Qianqian remained silent, her eyes fixed on her toes.

want to go back...

Here... there is no reason for her to stay.

She still has a lot to say to that person...

want to go back.

Don't want to stay here.

"I want to go back! Please!" He bowed to the other party with his hands hanging down at his sides.

"Then come with me."

The place Nanase arrived with Qianqian was an ordinary house, which seemed to be his home.

"Why help me?" Qianqian asked suddenly on the road.

No one would help a person for no reason, even if it was Reaper's job to send ghosts like her to the spirit world.But their duties certainly did not include helping her survive here, much less help her return.

"Why?" With her head behind her hands, Nanase looked very careless. "Probably boring..."

"boring……?"

It is impossible for Qianqian to believe such an answer.He puffed up his cheeks and stared at the other person's back. "what……"

"Anyway, it won't hurt you. You also have spiritual power, so it's a pity not to be a god of death, and isn't it good for yourself?" Having said that, Nanase suddenly turned her head and smiled slightly with.

Probably...a good guy...

I don't know why my intuition tells Qianqian like this.The vigilance in her heart was gradually let go, and she had nothing worth hurting by others.

"There is still a period of time for the enrollment of Zhenyang Academy of Spiritual Art. During this time, you should stay at my house first. Get familiar with this place as soon as possible. I will teach you how to use spiritual power when you come back."

"Oh……"

"All the families on Liuhun Street are not related by blood. The old man who adopted me lived here. Don't make her angry."

"Understood, long-winded uncle..." Followed Nanase into the house, Qianqian complained with a bulging face.

"Uncle...hey——" Although she seemed dissatisfied with Qianqian's name, Nanase still didn't say anything.Pushing open the door and walking in, "Grandma—"

"Tuo, have you bought back what I told you to buy?"

Although the old man in front of him had white hair and many wrinkles on his face, his voice was very energetic.

"I bought it." Nanase said, pushing Qianqian behind her forward, "Grandma, this is the daughter I just picked up. Her name is Qingshui Qianqian, and she will live here with you for the time being."

"Hey! Who is your daughter!" Covering her head that had just been patted, she glared at Nanase angrily.

"Qianqian? Hello." Grandma Nanase looked at Qianqian with a smile, and stretched out her hand to Qianqian.

"Go quickly." Nanase pushed back again.

"Understood!" Glaring Nanase angrily, Qianqian almost moved to Nanase's grandma. "Hello, grandma."

"Hey." Stretching out some rough hands to rub Qianqian's head, the smile on Grandma Nanase's face deepened.

"She was sent by me from the present world. If she wants to study in Mao, please work hard to teach her, grandma. I will go back to work in the team first~"

"Go, go." Grandma Nanase didn't raise her head, she just kept staring at Qianqian.

Inexplicably feeling a little hairy in my heart, I smiled lightly, "That...grandma, I..."

"Qianqian just came to Soul Soul Realm, right?"

Before Qianqian finished speaking, she was interrupted. Grandma Nanase pulled Qianqian to sit beside her, staring straight at Qianqian, as if waiting for her answer.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable with Grandma Nanase's behavior like this, she was an old man after all, so Qianqian still smiled politely. "Yes, Grandma."

"Then I have to tell you something about this place first..." Grandma Nanase began her long lecture after pondering for a moment, during which she never let go of Qianqian's hand, and no matter how Qianqian interjected Neither stopped.

"...That's all I want to say, do you understand Qianqian?"

I don't know how long it took for Grandma Nanase to stop, but she still seemed to be unsatisfied.

"...I, I know grandma." Although she was smiling on her face, Qianqian was crying incessantly in her heart.

What a scary old man...

How is the experience so good...

"That," Qianqian interrupted decisively when she saw that Grandma Nanase wanted to say something else, "Grandma, I seem to be a little hungry..."

This is true, it happened to be morning when Qianqian opened her eyes in Soul Realm, but it is already dusk now.In this way, it should be that I haven't eaten all day, so of course I will be hungry.

"That's right, grandma, I don't feel hungry, but Qianqian can feel it." Nanase nodded, agreeing with Qianqian's words.Then stood up slowly, "Let's go, let's go shopping outside."

"Ah? Now? Grocery shopping?" Looking at the gradually dimming light outside, Qianqian unconsciously opened her mouth.Blinking eyes, slightly frowning, "It's going to be dark today..."

Although I don't know much about the things here, but based on reality, shouldn't shopping for vegetables be...morning?

"Don't worry, just go to the next door." The old man said with a smile, clapping Qianqian's hands, and then walked forward tremblingly.

Carefully supporting the old man, although there were many doubts in her heart, Qianqian followed the old man out obediently.

At the door next door sat a boy who looked about the same age as Qianqian.

Grandma Nanase smiled and shouted at the boy, "Xiao Chi."

"Ah, grandma." The boy suddenly stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. "I'm here to get the food, I'm just about to deliver it to you." While speaking, the boy scratched his head in embarrassment, and then ran into the house quickly.

"It's okay, it's not a few steps anyway." After taking the few handfuls of vegetables that the boy ran into the house, the old man introduced them with a smile.

"Qianqian, this is Kawasaki Chi, who is about the same size as you."

Then Zhun turned his head to Kawasaki, "Xiaochi, she is Qingshui Qianqian, the daughter that your Uncle Nanase just adopted today."

They all said that she is not the daughter of that uncle!

Although she really wanted to complain like this, Qianqian didn't say it in the end.

"Hmph, it's nothing special." Kawasaki crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at Qianqian carefully and said awkwardly.

"..."

Children now...

Qianqian sighed silently in her heart, not remembering the fact that the other party was about the same age as herself.

"I'll be angry if you say that, Xiao Chi." Grandma Nanase said pretending to be serious, but the smile on her face didn't decrease at all.

"I know, grandma." Kawasaki said with some reluctance, "Hello, Qianqian, please give me your advice." The tone was very reluctant, and he didn't even look at Qianqian.

"Uh—hello, Kawasaki-kun."

I don't know why, but Qianqian got another stare from the other party after saying this sentence.

"Go back, Qianqian."

"Oh."
