Chapter 45

"Storing souls," Akaso Kaze said casually.

Akaso Kaze said casually.

"Whose, whose soul?"

Natsue felt her heart beating fast.

Akaso Kaze looked at her and said with a smile: "Your grandfather, Hatamoto Gozo's."

"He couldn't rest easy after he died, so he stayed on your head."

Akaso Kaze was a kind person and didn't mention other possibilities.

As for Hatamoto Takeshi, he was dead, so no need to show him to people.

Natsue hesitated for a while and asked: "Can, can I see my grandfather?"

Akaso Kaze thought for a moment and nodded.

He activated the Eye of Space, and Hatamoto Gozo's figure immediately appeared before Natsue's eyes.

"Grandfather, it's really you, Grandfather!"

The girl's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Entering Akaso Kaze's soul space, the soul had gained some consciousness.

He looked at his granddaughter and tried his best to grin, revealing a smile.

"Grandfather, what should I do? You're dead, Takeshi is dead too, how can I live on alone?"

Large teardrops flowed down her delicate cheeks.

Hatamoto Gozo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Souls don't have vocal cords; unless they have practiced appropriate magic, they cannot make a sound at all.

"You can ask him some questions; the soul can nod or shake its head."

Akaso Kaze reminded her kindly.

Then he gave a demonstration: "Do you want Natsue to inherit the position of head of the family?"

Hatamoto Gozo's soul rippled and nodded repeatedly.

"Me? Inherit the position of head of the family?"

Natsue was stunned.

Akaso Kaze said: "You didn't know, did you? Your grandfather left a will long ago, passing the entire Hatamoto family to you."

After he finished speaking, his heart stirred.

Maybe Hatamoto Tatsuo was sitting on Natsue's head because of this obsession.

"Can I really do it?"

Natsue wiped her tears while muttering to herself: "Without Grandfather's guidance, can I really manage the Hatamoto family well?"

She suddenly froze, grabbed Akaso Kaze's hand with joy.

"Akaso-san, can you keep Grandfather's soul so I can often get his guidance?"

"Keep his soul?"

Akaso Kaze looked hesitant, "The cycle of life and death is the law of the human world; keeping a soul requires consuming a lot of my magic power..."

"Whatever the price, I am willing to pay it," Natsue hugged Akaso Kaze's arm and begged bitterly, "Please, this is the only way I can hold on."

In the soul space, the souls of Hatamoto Gozo and Hatamoto Takeshi all showed expressions of pleading.

Hatamoto Tatsuo didn't have any expression.

He only had an obsession with property; the rest didn't matter.

"Alright."

Being held and rubbed against by someone, the kind-hearted Akaso Kaze finally agreed compassionately.

He reached out and lifted Natsue's smooth, fair little chin.

"Akaso-san, you, what are you doing?"

Natsue widened her cute eyes but didn't dare to struggle, fearing she would anger the Onmyoji and destroy her grandfather's soul.

"I said, keeping a soul requires consuming a lot of magic power, I need to replenish my magic power..."

As he said this, he kissed her.
