I'm doing a live broadcast in Taisho

No, no, no, it's not right to speculate like this behind the scenes.

Mr. Muto is so good-looking, why not... Hey, speaking of it, Mr. Muto's complexion seems to be worse than that of ordinary people.

[As expected of the host, from a certain point of view, you are one step closer to discovering the true identity of Patriarch Muto! ]

?

[After all, from a rigorous scientific point of view, it is indeed impossible. ]

...No, no, why do we have to discuss this kind of thing seriously.

Even the slender neck of the girl under the moonlight turned red, her movements were stiff, and she could no longer listen to what Mrs. Hezi was saying beside her.

[It’s not okay to be so easily shy, host! ]

The system said sadly.

[The anchor of No. 1860 next door has already used his inexhaustible charm to recruit countless younger brothers and completed six sets of tasks, and our progress is still stuck at two! ]

Compared to receiving a younger brother...

Ryoko is called the female younger brother by Inosuke.

[Be self-motivated, ah self-motivated!Losing to that shameless No. 1860 who calls himself the "Great Sage", I will never be able to hold my head up again! ]

……

No, it doesn't matter what kind of thing it is.

"Ah, it's already so late." The full moon hanging in the night was half covered by thick clouds, a black crow flapped its wings and landed on a branch, shaking a fallen leaf with a rustling sound, Kazuko Muto stood up, There was a bit of shame in the gentle smile, "It's really rude to hold Miss Xuezi for so long. Then, I'll go first."

Liangzi blinked, watching Mrs. Kazuko's slim figure disappear into the darkness at the end of the verandah.

[It is detected that the host's favorability for the character "Kazuko Muto" is 93, it seems that the host likes the existence of Kazuko Muto very much. ]

After secretly noting that the self-proclaimed "God" system seems to have added a function of detecting favorability, Ryoko nodded slightly.

Although it was only the first time we met, Mrs. Kazuko not only saved her kindly, but also easily wiped away her tension and shame of living here with the reason that "Misato likes her very much".

Smart and gentle, really a very powerful person.

[Probably because he regards the host as his younger sister, that's why this lady talks so many things to the host.According to the database, when Kazuko Muto was 13 years old, his family was brutally murdered by ghosts.If that lady grows up normally, she should be about the same age as the host. ]

... It's a ghost again.

Ryoko frowned in thought.

She still remembered that the system had told her not long ago that there were creatures like "ghosts" in the era she lived in a hundred years ago-but she had never seen it, nor heard of it.

[However, speaking of ghosts, the mission rewards that the host received from the character "Kuihei Inosuke" have already been settled. ]

After the system said this, a blue screen suspended in the air suddenly popped up in front of Liangzi's eyes.

The black-haired girl was startled by this, and reflexively shrank back a few steps on the ground with her hands on her hands.

Well, amazing.

After reacting, Liangzi raised her hand, and her white fingertips touched the button on the screen. The cold touch came at the same time as the sound of mechanical keys, and Liangzi couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

[How about it, isn't it very advanced, science and technology are the primary productive forces! ]

The system said this triumphantly, with a tone like a puppy with its head cocked up and its tail crazily wagging, waiting for praise.

However, Ryoko ignored its intentions at all, and she was seriously looking at the few lines written on the screen in front of her.

[Skill 1 - Face the Gale (enabled).Player life-saving skills, level Lv.[-], can be upgraded with experience points.

How to use: Ask the player to shout out the name of the skill, and the skill will be automatically activated by the system.The movement speed can reach the speed of sound within 5 minutes, the skill cooling time is three days, and it will be in a frozen state for 15 minutes after use. ]

[One-time illusion card, provided by "KUFUFU Pineapple Head", after use, the illusion will be launched to the target of the skill immediately. ]

Advanced is advanced.

"Does it have to be so wicked?" Ryoko said to the system in her brain with a deadpan face.

[This is not a bad taste of this system. Throughout the ages, the protagonists of countless shonen comics have to call out the name of the move before they hang up! ]

[This is the protagonist's sense of existence! ]

Ryoko felt as if she had understood something.

Ryoko thought about it carefully, as if she didn't understand anything.

Contestant Ryoko gave up thinking without reason.

[Ah, the results of the audience voting have come out, and a new round of missions has started——]

[Reciprocate, communicate with each other, in order to repay Mrs. Hezi's kindness, please solve Mrs. Hezi's troubles!Dear Cupid!It's up to you!Ryoko the anchor! ]

[accept]

……

Please, when we talk about the task next time.

Could you please be brief.

Although she didn't know what Cupid was, Ryoko understood the meaning of the system.

Mrs. Kazuko's troubles...

So, let Mrs. Kazuko experience Mr. Muto's love, right?

Ah, totally out of ideas.

On the third day after accepting the favor of the Muto family, Yoshiko, who was playing football with Misato in the yard, quietly raised her eyes and looked away.

The eaves on the porch couldn’t shade the sun, Mrs. Kazuko took off her shoes and sat on the porch, shaking her fan lightly, the smile on her lips couldn’t be seen clearly under the sunlight, but her eyes were full of Misato bouncing around in the middle of the courtyard.

But Mr. Muto was sitting alone in the room, the shoji door was half-opened, and the wisteria tea that Mrs. Kazuko made for him was placed on the corner of the table. The hot steam had dissipated, but Mr. Muto still seemed to have no intention of moving. .

As a couple, the distance is too far, right?

Ryoko thought suspiciously.

The 16-year-old black-haired girl has never really come into contact with the existence of "couples".The only "husband and wife" who have been in contact with each other are the parents of Liang Zi and Tong Mo.

But they didn't love each other, and the father of the cheating believer even died at the hands of his mother-it was really of no reference value.

"Ah! It's a kite!"

The childish exclamation contained unconcealable joy. Misato, who was holding the ball on the ground, suddenly stopped running towards Ryoko. Her eyes passed the high wall, and finally stopped in the air, dangling on the kite.

Children's interest always rises quickly, Misato jumped into Mrs. Kazuko's arms like a little rabbit, she blinked her big bright eyes, and tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Misato also wants to fly a kite."

Mrs. Kazuko touched Misato's head, and agreed to her daughter's request without hesitation.

"Where's Dad?"

Misato, who was holding her mother, poked her head out and looked at Nobuhiko Muto inside the room.

Nobuhiko Muto refused on the grounds that he was tired.

No, but Mr. Muto obviously hasn't come out of that room since morning.

It's just an excuse.

Liangzi caught a flash of disappointment in Mrs. Kazuko's eyes.

[Please seize the good opportunity to be alone, host!Let Onimai Tsuji... no, Nobuhiko Muto understand that Mrs. Kazuko's troubles are the perfect start to the task! ]

It was rare for Ryoko to get together with the system, so she politely declined the invitation of Mrs. Kazuko and Misato, and watched their figures disappear from the gate.

But let's talk.

Did a strange name pop up just now?

[...Slip of the tongue, it’s just a slip of the tongue, anyway, human beings don’t always slip of the tongue. ]

The system's voice sounded a little guilty.

Ryoko doesn't even believe in a single punctuation mark.

But she doesn't want to pursue these things now, and solving Mrs. Hezi's troubles should be the top priority.

The girl took a deep breath and made up her mind. She took off her sandals when she stepped on the wooden boards of the verandah, and she knelt down on the side when she was three steps away from Nobuhiko Muto.

The man seemed to have noticed that Ryoko seemed to want to say something to him.So he stopped turning the pages of the book, his red eyes slightly raised, and a refined and kind smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"What's bothering you, Miss Yukiko?"

Ryoko was a little hesitant to say the words "Mrs. Kazuko felt neglected by you" directly.But when she was thinking so hard, the girl's eyes caught a glimpse of the picture on the book in front of the man leaning on the table.

The finishing point is just right, both the color and the lines are extremely beautiful.

In the middle of the lush green, there is a blue Bana flower.

Ryoko noticed the inscription in the lower left corner of the painting.

[Kazuko Muto]

Is it Mrs. Kazuko's painting?

Mr. Muto is looking at Mrs. Kazuko's painting... Ah!This also means!

Have the opportunity!

Ryoko's eyes lit up.

"It may be rude to say it. However, I don't know if Mr. Muto has noticed that Mrs. Kazuko has been a little troubled recently."

"trouble?"

Nobuhiko Muto, no, Kibu Tsuji frowned slightly.

Of course, he would not notice these useless things. For him, Kazuko Muto was just a necessary means to obtain information.Whether it's a coincidence or not, after hearing about the existence of this painting, Kimai Tsuji Muchan came here for this painting, and incidentally tampered with Kazuko Muto's memory.

"Yes, it seems that since Mr. Muto came back from his last business trip, he hasn't been very close to Mrs. Kazuko."

Ryoko considered the way of speaking, and finally organized such a sentence.

That's where things started to turn around.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun changed angle.The sky in the distance was burning red, and the sun fell into the lonely mountain.

"Miss Xuezi—!"

A shrill, desperate female voice.

Ryoko looked back, and Kazuko Muto was standing in the middle of the gate with the door frame floating.

Her hair was disheveled, her posture was no longer elegant, her face was frightened, and her voice was trembling.

The woman's beautiful eyes reflected the indifferent face of the "lover", and the love that should have been overflowing was gone, replaced by unspeakable fear.

Yoshiko notices that Misato, who was removed with Mrs. Kazuko, has disappeared.

Ah, could it be...

Ryoko stood up immediately.

Did Mrs. Kazuko and Miri meet the ghost who came to catch him that day?

"Stay away from that person..."

Mrs. He Zi trembled when she said this, she seemed to muster up her courage to say such a sentence.

"Do you remember?"

Before Yoshiko could react, Onimai Tsuji Musai behind the black-haired girl slowly stood up.

His voice could no longer hear the gentleness of the past, but it was bitingly cold.It's like a knife that hurts people's back.

The moment the wooden door was pierced by black thorns and attacked Mrs. Kazuko at the door, Ryoko suddenly understood that that night, the "Wu Mi lord" heard with fear from the soul might not be an illusion.

The last bit of romantic glow was lost in the air, and the actions of the body were always ahead of reason——Liangzi broke through her bottom line for the first time in her life, and shamefully shouted "Let's face the blast".

The girl's black hair was disheveled, and her cherry lips lost their color.

The girl who didn't fully grasp the skills couldn't stop the car. She rolled around on the ground a few times with the woman in her arms, her fair cheeks covered with dust in embarrassment.

The sound of startled birds was heard in the lush woods, and Mrs. Kazuko, who slowly stood up from the ground, looked at Ryoko with unconcealable surprise and vigilance, "You are..."

"Is Misato okay?" Liangzi who interrupted Mrs. Kazuko looked a little uneasy, her brows were furrowed, and the twilight in her eyes melted away, like a cat with beautiful and soft fur, but taut.

Mrs. Hezi looked at her for a few seconds before returning to her usual gentle expression, "Misato is safe."

Kazuko Muto's memory came back suddenly. The moment the kite string broke in her hand, the woman who had been waiting at home for her husband's return suddenly remembered the boundless blood of that night.

All the joy of being a man/wife dissipated, and Misato, who didn't know why, ran away like crazy.

But at this time, Mrs. Hezi suddenly remembered that she was with her "husband" and Xuezi who came three days ago.

Will, will be eaten...

Just like Nobuhiko.

Mrs. Kazuko couldn't calm down and think with her head. At the age of 13, Kazuko Muto, who was watching the family's tragic death, heard her sister's scream in her ears.

No more innocent people can die.

So she told Misato that if she didn't return by midnight, she would go west and join the Yamamoto family who had befriended her.

"Do you want to go together, Miss Yukiko?" Muto Kazuko said to Ryoko in front of her.

Ryoko choked in her throat before she could breathe out.

Of course she wanted to go with Mrs. Hezi.It's just like she wants to stay with Inosuke, the system has never been what she wants.

[Ding—the audience Atsushi Nakajima uses the task card, the anchor Ryoko, choose one of the two tasks! ]

[①Please steal the hat on the head of Oni King Oni Wu Tsuji Mucan. ② Obtain over 95% of the favorability of Oni King Oni Wu Tsuji. ]

[The task is completed, and the key props of the future task are set to the No. 1 anchor in the universe! ]

[accept][reject]

[reject]

[reject invalid]

[accept][reject]

……

Feeling that she would be killed, Ryoko chose task ①.

[Obviously task ② is more interesting. ]

The system's voice sounded a little distressed.

——No, since you have already said that he is the ghost king, this kind of mission is impossible to achieve.

[? ]

——Will you fall in love with pork as food?

[......]

Speaking of which, so far, she has not felt that this world is any better than it was a hundred years ago. If she had known this, she might as well have stayed in the soil and suffocated to death.

[Don't think so.Look, your skill usage time hasn't expired yet, ah, by the way, we still have a one-time illusion card, hold on tight, we can win! ]

No, you simply want to go beyond 1860.

Ryoko sighed, looking at the woman in front of her with complicated eyes.

However, if you go with Mrs. Kazuko, it will bring trouble to Mrs. Kazuko.

After a moment of silence, the corner of the girl's pursed lips loosened.

"Next time, if you encounter this situation, don't go back to save others, madam."

Muto Kazuko was taken aback.

Although the girl in front of her was in a mess, her gaze was firm.

"Misato can't live without a mother."

It would be too pitiful if good people were not rewarded.

Yoshiko lowered her eyes as she thought of the past.

"this is for you."

The woman stuffed something into Ryoko's hands, "If Ms. Yukiko has nowhere to go, take this and give it to the person in the uniform of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Muto Kazuko hugged her.

"It's really similar to that person."

Mrs. Hezi watched Liangzi go away, although the former's eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia made Liangzi want to dig a hole and bury herself.

The huge Muto house was reduced to ruins.

The sandals broke the wooden slats, Yoshiko finally stopped the car and looked at Onimai Tsuji who was standing in the middle of the ruins.

His red eyes are still as breathtakingly beautiful as when they first met, like mellow red wine, one will subconsciously be addicted to them just by looking at them.

But Liangzi didn't want to be pierced by the opponent with thorns, nor did she want to be wrung out of the neck by the opponent.

Oni Wu Tsuji narrowed his eyes, and he raised his chin slightly, "You..."

"Face, face the blast!"

Oni Wu Tsuji Wu Mian, an existence that can make ghosts explode by themselves if they are upset.For the first time, Guisheng encountered Waterloo.

He was silent for a few seconds before he noticed the fact that the hat on his head was missing.

The anger made the man's handsome face look a little hideous.

[Run, run, host, run. ]

[No, no, you throw an illusion card before running, so that you won't catch up. ]

Liangzi stopped in a hurry, she opened the system panel very unskillfully, and clicked on the illusion card in the first compartment of the backpack.

Black thorns stopped before her eyes.

As long as Ryoko is one second late, her eyeballs will be mercilessly pierced.

Ryoko carefully moved aside.

The man under the moonlight widened his eyes in disbelief as if he had seen something terrifying.

—What did he see?

The fleeing girl couldn't help asking the system.

[It's nothing. ]

[I just saw a picture of ten men named Ji Guoyuanyi shouting "You are dead" at him with a loudspeaker. ]
