Chapter 269

Mizunashi Rena turned around in shock; Akaso Kaze was right behind her.

"You, how are you in the room?"

"Didn't I say? I was coming to complete the commission this morning and told you to get up early; who knew you would sleep for so long."

Akaso Kaze curled his lip and opened the door.

He came to the large trash bag that Mizunashi Rena had piled up by the door last night.

"Little friend, was it you who rang the doorbell just now?"

Behind the one-meter-high trash bag, a little boy of about 7 years old was looking at him timidly.

Akaso Kaze showed a gentle smile: "Little friend, don't be afraid; big sister was just curious about who was always ringing the doorbell to wake her up; she wants to thank that good child properly!"

"Eh? Is that true?"

Akaso Kaze gave a wink to the confused Mizunashi Rena.

Mizunashi Rena instantly understood and smiled: "Yes, little friend, don't be afraid!"

Upon hearing this, the little boy finally walked out from behind the trash bag hesitantly.

"Little brother, why do you insist on coming to ring my doorbell every Saturday?" Mizunashi Rena asked softly, gently stroking the boy's head.

"Because..." the little boy stammered.

"I think he must have misunderstood, right?" Akaso Kaze smiled: "The doorbell prank started two months ago, and at that time, Ms. Mizunashi happened to change from 'Good Morning 7' to the evening news."

"This little brother didn't see Ms. Mizunashi on the 7 o'clock news, so he thought she had overslept, which is why he came at 6: 0 to ring the doorbell to wake her up."

"The reason it's Saturday is partly because the broadcast time for 'Good Morning 7' was on Saturday, and also because elementary school students don't have school on Saturday; after he came to ring the doorbell at 6: 0, he could make it home in time to watch the 7 o'clock program to see if you were there, Ms. Mizunashi."

Akaso Kaze smiled: "Every time he came to ring the doorbell, he would go back and find that Ms. Mizunashi was still not on 'Good Morning 7', so he thought you were too tired and your sleep quality was poor, so he rang the doorbell to wake you up; and so, he gave you that bottle of sleeping pills."

"Is that so? Little brother?" Mizunashi Rena asked.

The little boy nodded: "Yes! Because my mom said that eating this would help you sleep well."

"So that's it; then why do you pay so much attention to me, little brother?" Mizunashi Rena asked curiously.

The little boy lowered his head slightly and said with a pout: "Because you look a lot like my mom!"

There were faint tears swirling in the boy's eyes: "Last year, my mom died in a car accident, so, so I..."

Mizunashi Rena suddenly placed her hands on the little boy's shoulders, looking at him with a calm and gentle gaze, and said softly:

"Little brother, I can understand your sadness at losing your mom, but if you keep holding on like this, your mom in heaven will also be worried, right?"

The little boy looked at Mizunashi Rena blankly.

Mizunashi Rena rubbed the boy's head again.

"Since you're a boy, you have to be strong; you can't come here anymore, okay! This is not only for your mom, but also for your own good, do you understand?"

Mizunashi Rena's soft words made the boy's heart gradually settle down.

He rubbed his eyes hard, then showed a brilliant smile and nodded heavily: "Yes! I know! Goodbye, big sister!"

As he said this, he had already run quickly toward the stairwell, and before long, he disappeared from their sight.

Mizunashi Rena stood up and watched the little boy go down the stairs from the balcony until his figure completely disappeared.

Mizunashi Rena raised her hand slightly and wiped away the tear stains from the corner of her eye.

Feeling Akaso Kaze's gaze, she came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's nothing, I just thought of the past..."

Mizunashi Rena suddenly stopped.

She realized who she was talking to.

"Did you think of your brother?" Akaso Kaze asked casually.

"Wha, what? You, how did you know?"

Mizunashi Rena was stunned.

Akaso Kaze looked at the somewhat panicked girl and said calmly: "I am an Onmyoji; no secret can be hidden from my eyes."

Mizunashi Rena couldn't help but take a step back.

"Alright, the commission is complete, I should go back too; Ms. Mizunashi, see you later."

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly, and he turned to leave.

Watching his back, Mizunashi Rena couldn't help but have her heart stirred.

What exactly does he know?

Returning home, Akaso Kaze went straight to Vermouth's room.

Although she was always there, Gin and the others couldn't find her, and Vermouth herself couldn't get out.

To put it simply, it was easy; he just had to change the door into a Gate of Space.

Gin just pushed the door open and walked into another room.

They were all the same layout, so it was hard for them to notice anything unusual.

Vermouth was applying makeup in front of the mirror.

She was completely naked, and seeing Akaso Kaze come in, she didn't cover up, but instead deliberately made a seductive expression.

This girl had turned back into the original Thousand-Faced Witch.

He didn't know if she was just giving up or if she felt Akaso Kaze couldn't do anything to her.

After all, Lord Onmyoji was still very tolerant of his own women.

Seeing her like this, Akaso Kaze curled his lip helplessly.

"Clean up, get ready to go back."

He said calmly.

"Go back? You're willing to let me go?"

Vermouth widened her eyes.

623

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about you?"

A dangerous light flickered in Vermouth's eyes.

"Hehe," Akaso Kaze laughed, "Do you think I'd be afraid?"

Vermouth couldn't help but pause.

Indeed, the one who is afraid now is the Black Organization.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed Mizunashi Rena to lure Akaso Kaze away with a commission for Gin and his generals to dare enter the building to investigate.

"What's more, if all these things were told, the one who would be hurt probably wouldn't be me."

Akaso Kaze sat down beside the woman and helped her smooth out her golden hair.

"Without my help, your whereabouts during this period would be unclear, let alone gaining the organization's trust."

Vermouth looked at the man in the mirror and suddenly asked: "Am I, now considered your woman?"

Hearing such a question, Akaso Kaze was a bit surprised.

He thought for a moment and nodded.

I'm not someone who eats and doesn't acknowledge it.

Vermouth bit her lip, the corners of her mouth curling slightly; it seemed she was secretly happy.

"Then I'll listen to you; anyway, I have no other path to take."

She continued to draw her eyeliner and said: "However, wanting to not be suspected by Gin is not an easy thing."

"Of course, so, I have prepared a big gift for you."

"What?" Vermouth asked curiously.

"Akai Akai Shuichi's life!" Akaso Kaze spat out a few words calmly.

Vermouth couldn't help but shake her hand, and her eyeliner was drawn crookedly.

She turned around and looked at Akaso Kaze in surprise.

"Do you know his identity?"

"Of course, isn't he FBI?" Akaso Kaze didn't care at all.

Vermouth was speechless.

Isn't he just FBI?
