Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 139

Oh no, have I been eating too much? But I don't think I've gained weight.

Rem felt a little uneasy.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something else," Uesugi Kenichi chuckled. "If we let you walk by yourself, we might not be able to get you out by nightfall."

"Actually, it's okay if we don't go out..." Rem muttered softly.

"nothing?"

"Ah, nothing."

Rem blushed and hurriedly replied, slightly relieved that Uesugi Kenichi didn't seem to care. She felt she could stay anywhere with Uesugi Kenichi right now.

Besides, after this separation, we don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

Thinking about this, Rem suddenly felt a little sad. She looked at the road in front of her and hoped that it would be as long as possible, but she also felt a little reluctant to let Uesugi Kenichi carry her on his back all the time.

I was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

Along the way, Uesugi Ken chatted with Ram and Rem while replying to questions in the live stream chat. In this way, he crossed mountains and valleys and finally got over three big mountains.

To Uesugi Kenichi's surprise, Ram, a girl, had such good stamina. She had walked for so long, and on a mountain path, without complaining of being tired.

You should know that Panda was already so tired that its tongue was sticking out. If it weren't for the fact that Uesugi Kenichi had no intention of stopping to wait for it, it probably would have collapsed long ago.

"Look, once we get over here, we should be able to get out."

Uesugi Kenichi suddenly shouted, his voice somewhat excited. Upon hearing this, Ram and Rem also perked up and looked ahead.

He quickened his pace, and as he reached the summit, Uesugi Kenichi was about to shout out loud to express his joy.

Although the scenery in the wilderness was indeed incredibly beautiful, he missed Mashiro and the others after being away for so long.

However, before he could shout it out, when he saw the scene below the mountain, his voice stopped abruptly in his throat, and Ram was equally stunned.

"what happened?"

Rem, who was perched on Uesugi Kenichi's back, noticed the strange look on their faces and asked a question.

Following their gazes, she also looked down the mountain, her expression suddenly freezing.

The plains below the mountain were now covered by a large amount of soil and vegetation, and the cement roads had cracked open, revealing the soil underneath.

The utility poles that should have stood tall were now lying on the ground, and everywhere you looked were traces of destroyed houses.

Only a few scattered houses remain in good condition.

Kenichi Uesugi was somewhat bewildered by the scene before him; at first glance, it seemed like the end of the world.

However, he quickly realized that there must have been a landslide or mudslide.

Considering the typhoon and heavy rain of the past two days, this conjecture is entirely plausible.

Chapter 264 The Stubborn Ram

Kenichi Uesugi turned to look at Ram and Rem, and asked hesitantly, "Is this Igawa Prefecture?"

Although she couldn't believe it, after taking a closer look, Ram nodded. She was already very familiar with the surroundings when she got to this location, and she knew without even looking that this was her home.

She searched around but couldn't see her own house. It seemed it had been buried as well. Thinking this, her face grew even uglier.

Keep in mind that this is the only place they have left to stay.

"Don't think too much about it yet, let's go down and see what's going on."

A gentle voice came from beside her ear, which made Ram snap out of it. She nodded emphatically and followed the figure in front of her.

Looking at that figure from behind, the unease and panic in my heart subsided considerably.

The camera soared high, revealing the scenery of Igawa Prefecture to the viewers in the live stream, immediately eliciting gasps of surprise from countless people.

"This scene looks terrifying. A perfectly good town just disappeared like that. It's horrible."

“I’ve already seen the news reports that there was a large-scale landslide and mudslide in Takano, causing great damage. But I didn’t expect that Ram and the others would also be affected by the disaster.”

"I just checked, and thankfully no one was injured. It was mostly financial loss, so it's a blessing in disguise."

"But what should we do with Ram and Rem now?"

……

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death." From the mountain, Jingchuan Town seemed close at hand, but it took more than an hour to finally reach the foot of Jingchuan Town.

When it was time to descend the mountain, under strong protests from his viewers, Uesugi Kenichi turned off the live stream, since the following footage was not suitable for broadcast.

Looking around, judging from the ruins in front of me, Jingchuan Town is not very large, probably just a few streets.

At this moment, it was almost entirely covered by soil.

Uesugi Kenichi turned around and searched for a while before finally spotting a man in his fifties. The man seemed quite surprised to see Uesugi Kenichi.

"Young man, what are you doing here? Why haven't you left yet?" the uncle asked as he approached.

"I'm just passing by. May I ask what's going on here, sir?" Uesugi Kenichi replied.

"The continuous heavy rain in the past few days caused landslides, but fortunately they were discovered early and did not cause too many casualties."

"Alright, young man, if you have nothing else to do, you should leave now." The uncle waved his hand, lit a cigarette, and left.

After watching the old man leave, Uesugi Kenichi turned around and saw Ram and Rem standing quietly in a ruin. After thinking for a moment, he went over and stayed by their side.

Uesugi Kenichi's gaze fell on the two women. From their expressions, it was clear that this must be their home. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort them and could only stand there silently.

Ramrem didn't seem to have any intention of searching for anything; he just watched.

The air seemed to freeze, and finally, Uesugi Kenichi couldn't resist breaking the atmosphere.

"Is there anything you're looking for?"

Upon hearing Uesugi Kenichi's voice, Ram and Rem's previously vacant eyes finally regained their light.

Ram shook her head and said softly, "There's nothing to look for. It's actually quite good that everything was buried like this."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi hesitated for a moment, "So what are you planning to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Ram and Rem were stunned once again.

Yes.

What should we do next?

It seems that even their last refuge has disappeared.

They can't just sleep on the streets, and at their age, they can't go back to the orphanage.

Ram panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.

It's okay, I still have some money here. I can rent a cheap place and then go back to work and live without any problems.

"There'll always be a way, right? Don't worry, sister, Rem is here for you."

Seeing the sorrow on her sister's face, Rem gently took Ram's hand and placed it on her own face to comfort her.

Upon hearing this, Ram felt the deep emotion in her sister's eyes, and a tear suddenly welled up in the corner of her eye. Then, she smiled and nodded vigorously.

For a moment, it seemed as if an extremely dazzling light shone through, causing Uesugi Kenichi to squint.

He looked up and saw that it was dusk, and the golden sunset shone through the ruins and finally fell on Ramrem.

The afterglow of the setting sun should have fallen on Ram and Rem's faces. They were very close, and Uesugi Kenichi could clearly see from the side that their hair reflected a subtle light, and that their faces were covered with a layer of fine down.

Its fluffy, newborn-like appearance is incredibly cute.

The setting sun turned the clouds into a breathtaking red, but Uesugi Kenichi had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. His eyes were now only on the two exquisitely beautiful girls who looked like porcelain dolls.

It turns out that the two sisters are quite different.

After staring at him for a while, Kenichi Shigeaki finally came to his senses. When he realized that he had been staring in a daze, he couldn't help but blush and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

However, this did attract Ramrem's attention.

"If you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you come to my place first?"

Composing himself, Uesugi Kenichi looked up and asked.

Upon hearing this, Rem's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at her sister expectantly, hoping that she would agree immediately. The hair on her head kept swaying, which spoke of her joyful mood.

Ram was also somewhat tempted by Uesugi Kenichi's suggestion, but after thinking about it, she still felt it was inappropriate and declined.

"Thank you so much for your help, but my sister and I have already caused you so much trouble, we are really sorry to bother you again. Please leave me an address, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Ram bowed deeply, demonstrating impeccable manners.

Upon hearing her sister's words, Rem immediately stopped her slightly swaying toes, biting her lip and looking at herself with disappointment.

Looking at this somewhat stubborn girl with a very strong sense of self-respect, Uesugi Kenichi also felt a bit of a dilemma.

If he hadn't encountered this situation, it wouldn't have mattered. But since he has, he can't simply ignore it given his ability to do so.

Chapter 265 Stop! Don't be rude to the director!

In the past, I wanted to manage many things, but I lacked the ability, so I could only choose to live alone.

But now that he has the ability, he would feel uneasy if he didn't do it.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kenichi turned his attention to Rem.

“I understand what you mean, but look, Rem’s foot is still injured. It’s not a good idea for you to carry her around like this.”

After hearing Uesugi Kenichi's words, Ram looked at Rem's legs. Rem cleverly exposed her legs and made a somewhat painful expression.

"You can stay at my place with Rem for a while. You can leave after Rem recovers from her injury. If you really feel bad about it, you can help tidy up the house. I have quite a few people in my family."

Ram, who had been somewhat hesitant, made her decision after hearing what was said next.

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Master.” Ram stood in front of Uesugi Kenichi, crossed her hands and bowed crisply.

Uesugi Kenichi: "???"

"Owner?"

I said, "Miss, have you made a mistake somewhere?" Then she suddenly blurted out, "Master," which puts me in a very difficult position.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at Ram with a speechless expression.

"What does that master mean...?"

"Master is master. Didn't you ask us to help you tidy up the house? Isn't it reasonable for a maid to call you master?"
