Chapter 63 Shiina's Concern
Natsuo, who was watching from the shadows, was satisfied when he saw Mrs. Yukinoshita leave and prepared to return to his apartment.
But after taking only two steps, his stomach started rumbling.
He remembered that he had come out to buy something, so he turned around and walked towards the convenience store.
Xia Sheng was in a good mood and planned to buy something nice to celebrate, since a major problem on his mind had finally been resolved.
He wasn't worried about Mrs. Yukinoshita exposing him or investigating him if she disobeyed his orders. Compared to the dangers posed by the direct descendants of the Shinomiya family and the conglomerate, Mrs. Yukinoshita was far too insignificant.
Although the Yukino family has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, she doesn't actually have that much power.
Moreover, given the current environment, she has no way to investigate and can only rely on her memory.
It's no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Xia Sheng went to the convenience store, bought two bento boxes, one with eel rice and one with fried pork cutlet rice, and also bought a bottle of soda. After paying, he went home.
Back home, he enjoyed his delicious bento box while sending messages in the group chat.
Savior: [I just encountered the Black Mist People.]
Yui Yuigahama responded immediately: [Huh! Really? Natsuo, are you alright?]
Savior: [It's alright, it's resolved.]
Yui Yuigahama: [That's good.]
Yukino Yukinoshita joined the conversation: [What happened? Tell me in detail.]
Savior: [When I went out to buy food, I sensed some kind of danger. It was very close, and when I went over to check, I found that it was the Black Mist People.]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [Evening.]
Savior: [Yes, this time the black mist creature possessed a woman, and it also attacked a woman.]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [What's the connection between women and this?]
Savior: [Nothing has been found.]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [I understand. Let's meet again tomorrow, and you can tell us the details then.]
Savior: [Yes.]
Yui Yuigahama: [See you tomorrow!]
Shiina Mahiru: [See you tomorrow.]
Xia Sheng put down his phone and continued eating his bento. Although the bento was delicious, it was still quite different from Shiina Mahiru's cooking.
It's clear that what she made wasn't particularly delicious food.
Could it be related to psychology?
Compared to bento boxes, Natsuo definitely preferred the hot, homemade food made by Shiina Mahiru.
ding dong~
Xia Sheng had just finished eating his bento when the doorbell rang. He got up to open the door.
When the door opened, standing there was Shiina Mahiru, dressed in a light yellow long dress of loungewear, her flaxen hair still a little damp.
Xia Sheng smelled the pleasant scent of shampoo.
"Shiina, what's wrong?"
"Are you alright?" Shiina Mahiru looked him up and down.
"Hmm? You're worried about me." Xia Sheng understood what she meant and laughed.
They didn't ask on LINE, but came here to see for themselves.
"What are you laughing at? Turn around and let me see."
"I'm really fine. Those black-mist people didn't even pay attention to me; they were only focused on their target." Xia Sheng said this, but still obediently turned around to let her check.
Shiina Mahiru checked him over from head to toe again to make sure he was really alright.
"It's good that you're alright... Have you had dinner yet?"
"I just finished eating. I had two bento boxes," Xia Sheng reported truthfully.
"I understand." Shiina Mahiru nodded and turned to leave.
"Huh? They're leaving already?"
"What else can we do? It's so late, you can read a book for a while and then go to sleep." Shiina Mahiru said without turning her head.
"Okay, goodnight."
"Good night... Oh, by the way, I can make you breakfast tomorrow." Shiina Mahiru stopped and turned to look at him.
"Really?" Xia Sheng exclaimed in surprise.
Consider this a reward for successfully defeating the Black Mist People.
"Now that you mention it, I'm tempted to let a few more slimes escape," Xia Sheng joked.
"Then there will be no reward." Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly.
"Then forget it."
Watching Shiina Mahiru enter the room and close the door, Natsuo looked away and went back inside to tidy up.
After tidying up, he lay on the bed, took out his phone, and sent a private message to Yukino Yukinoshita.
Savior: [The woman who was attacked today... she reminds me of you.]
Yukinoshita Yukino: [? ]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [What do you mean?]
Savior: [I don't know if it's your mother, go check on her.]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [My mom? But... I'm not home...]
Savior: [You can't possibly live alone, can you?]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [I moved out and live alone.]
Savior: [As expected of you. Why don't you call and ask?]
Yukino Yukinoshita: [Okay.]
Yukino Yukinoshita won't be sending any messages anytime soon, so Natsumi got out of bed, sat in front of the computer, and started typing.
Around 11 p.m., Xia Sheng felt sleepy, stopped writing, went to bed, and glanced at his phone.
Yukino Yukinoshita did not send any more messages.
......
The next day, after Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru finished their morning run and enjoyed the delicious breakfast she had prepared, they went out together.
Today's gathering place is still a family restaurant.
The two arrived at the family restaurant, went upstairs, and saw that the lively girl had arrived first.
"Shiina, Natsuki, hello~"
Good morning, Yuihama.
"Why do you always come so early?" Natsumi asked Yui Yuigahama as she sat with Shiina Mahiru.
"It's a holiday anyway, and I have nothing to do," Yui Yuigahama replied.
"Weren't you going to take the waffles for a walk? You didn't come this early when we were reviewing our lessons before."
"What I did was... Couldn't I have taken the pancakes for a walk earlier?" Yui Yuigahama retorted, a little embarrassed and annoyed.
"I think you're just not interested in reviewing," Xia Sheng bluntly stated.
"Ugh! Natsuo, you're so annoying!" Yui Yuigahama said with an embarrassed and coquettish tone.
"Hehe~"
"Have you studied together before?" Shiina Mahiru asked.
"Yes, and two other people from our class too," Xia Sheng confessed.
"I see." Shiina Mahiru nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"You guys are here so early again." At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita also came up.
"Yukishita, ya hello~" Yui Yuigahama waved excitedly at her.
"Good morning, Yuihama." Yukino Yukinoshita sat down next to her.
Xia Sheng kept an eye on her expression, but it was the same as usual, so she should be fine.
"Everyone's here. Natsuo, tell me about last night." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsuo and asked calmly.
"OK."
Natsumi began to recount what happened last night, mentioning everything except that he thought Mrs. Yukinoshita resembled Yukinoshita Yukino.
He wasn't sure what Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking, so he decided to consider her feelings for now.
"So, the blue slime can possess women? And attack them?" Yui Yuigahama asked, summarizing her thoughts after listening.
"It's hard to say, but we can think about it in that direction." Xia Sheng shook his head.
"Is there any change in the Black Mist Man this time?" Shiina Mahiru asked.
"Nothing has changed, not even his body shape, except that he's possessing a woman."
"Then why did she attack that woman? What was so special about her...?"
"That woman is my mother," Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly confessed.
"Huh?" Shiina Mahiru was taken aback and looked at her in confusion.
"Yukinoshita's mother? R-really? Is she alright?" Yui Yuigahama asked anxiously.
"It's alright, thanks to Xia Sheng arriving in time, otherwise it would have been dangerous."
Yukino Yukinoshita said, looking at Natsuo, and bowing her head to thank him, "Thank you, Natsuo, I really owe you a lot."
