Chapter 52: Why did the affection level go up again?

"Ying..."

A soft sound escaped Sonoko's throat involuntarily.

Akaso Kaze quickly covered her mouth.

His remaining hand could only wrap tightly around her waist, pressing her close to his body.

If they were discovered, he really wouldn't be able to explain himself.

[Ding, Sonoko has developed an affection for you, current affection level is 4 stars.]

Hey.

Why did the affection level go up again?

This trend is not good.

Akaso Kaze felt it.

Sonoko was leaning back forcefully.

The two of them were almost at negative distance.

The two people outside were startled by the sound.

The groom, Takasugi Toshihiko, asked worriedly: "Is someone eavesdropping outside the door?"

Matsumoto Sayuri said unhappily: "Hey, we are a legal couple, so what if someone is eavesdropping?"

Takasugi Toshihiko let go of Matsumoto Sayuri and picked up the half-drunk lemon tea nearby.

Then, while complaining: "Why do you always drink this kind of cheap drink?"

He secretly threw the sodium hydroxide he had prepared and hidden in his hand, along with an empty capsule, into the can.

"Here it comes!"

Akaso Kaze couldn't care about Sonoko, who kept bumping backward, and began to extend his magic claws... no, his Space Hand.

The sodium hydroxide and empty capsule had just entered the drink can and hadn't fallen into the liquid yet when they were taken away by the Space Hand.

In their place was a sleeping pill.

Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Takasugi Toshihiko, then at the drink he had placed back on the table, and fell silent for a moment.

She hesitated for a moment, then walked over as if nothing had happened, smiling and talking to Takasugi Toshihiko while picking up the lemon tea.

Her heart, which had been full of anticipation for the wedding, suddenly sank.

In this intermittent romance that spanned twenty years, Matsumoto Sayuri knew far more than Takasugi Toshihiko.

After they met again in college, Matsumoto Sayuri discovered that Takasugi Toshihiko was very likely the neighbor's child she had liked so much back then.

So she secretly investigated what happened twenty years ago.

She didn't ask Takasugi Toshihiko directly because she was afraid that if she recognized the wrong person, it would be very awkward.

As a result, after investigating, she not only found out that Takasugi Toshihiko was her childhood sweetheart, but also incidentally found out about the accident that led to the death of Takasugi Toshihiko's mother.

With several things laid out before her, combined with Takasugi Toshihiko's subtle attitude, Matsumoto Sayuri vaguely guessed the real reason Takasugi Toshihiko was with her.

After knowing these things, Matsumoto Sayuri didn't break up, but kept thinking about how to make Takasugi Toshihiko let go of the hatred from twenty years ago.

After she accepted Takasugi Toshihiko's proposal, she originally wanted to tell Takasugi Toshihiko today.

Her father didn't refuse to save her back then, but didn't see the woman in the blind spot.

But she didn't expect that Takasugi Toshihiko hated her to the point of wanting to kill her.

For a moment, Matsumoto Sayuri felt hopeless.

Looking at the poisoned lemon tea in her hand, her eyes changed several times, and finally settled on "not wanting to live anymore."

She leaned toward the straw and took a few hard sips, drinking the poisoned drink.

A crystal-clear tear slid down the corner of her eye.

"Don't drink it!"

Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly stepped forward and snatched the drink from Matsumoto Sayuri's hand.

Unfortunately, it was already too late...

Matsumoto Sayuri's body slowly softened and fell.

Seeing Takasugi Toshihiko's anxious expression, hope appeared in her eyes again.

"Okay, the time has come!"

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly.

0 0

Truth Spell!

"Toshihiko, I know everything about you, I don't blame you, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding..."

Listening to Matsumoto Sayuri's confession, Takasugi Toshihiko was stunned.

He knelt on the ground, holding the dying bride, his expression gradually becoming dull.

He didn't expect Matsumoto Sayuri to know everything, nor did he expect the other party to swallow the poison even though she knew there was poison in the lemon tea.

Matsumoto Sayuri raised her hand and touched Gao's face.

Her eyelids kept closing, but she opened them firmly.

It was as if she wanted to take one last look at Takasugi Toshihiko.

"You are my first love, my childhood sweetheart of over twenty years, do you still remember the little girl who loved to drink lemon tea back then?"

"That was... me... ah..."

Her voice gradually faded, her hand softened and slid off Takasugi Toshihiko's face.

"Sayuri! Sayuri!"

Takasugi Toshihiko shook the bride, his eyes filled with tears.

In an instant, all the kindness Matsumoto Sayuri had shown him since they started dating surfaced in his mind.

Coupled with the figure of Matsumoto Sayuri falling into his arms at this moment, it gradually overlapped with the figure of his mother back then.

The accumulated emotions erupted in an instant, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the lemon tea left on the side.

In an instant, an indescribable emotion instantly engulfed him.

He remembered Matsumoto Sayuri, who loved him deeply, and the despair and disappointment in her heart when she drank the lemon tea just now.

He remembered the scene of the two of them sitting side by side drinking tea happily when they were children.

Emotions surged, and his mind went blank for no reason.

When he came back to his senses, he had uncontrollably grabbed the can on the ground and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

At this moment, this seemed to be the most powerful confession.

Soon, Takasugi Toshihiko also slumped down.

Finally, he struggled to hold Sayuri's hand tightly.

It was as if they were a pair of mandarin ducks dying together.

"Phew."

Inside the small, romantic closet, Akaso Kaze let out a long breath.

Finally done.

So tired!

Akaso Kaze let go of Sonoko.

The girl's body slid straight down.

Akaso Kaze could only hold her again.

He pulled her little head over to look, and she had actually fainted.

"Hey, nothing will happen, right?"

Akaso Kaze immediately performed emergency first aid.

Chest compressions, artificial respiration, not a single step could be missed.

After a long time, Sonoko finally woke up with a groan.

"What's wrong, what happened?"

Sonoko asked with a red face.

"Nothing happened, you fainted, probably because the air in the closet was thin."

Akaso Kaze said while opening the closet door.

He slipped out from behind Sonoko.

Sonoko followed behind with a red face, taking very small steps.

Seeing the two lying on the ground, she was immediately shocked.

"Are they both dead?"

"Don't worry, they're just tired and fell asleep; they must have been too hyper last night."

"Let's go, my commission is finished, it's time for us to go out too."

"If someone sees us, it would be troublesome if they misunderstand what the four of us were doing."

Using his Space Eye to check the hallway outside, Akaso Kaze took Sonoko out of the room while no one was around.

He even used his Mind Hand to lock the door from the inside.

Then they walked toward the banquet hall.

Sonoko followed behind, looking confused.

She didn't know anything about what happened during that time.

She just felt like she had a dream.

She dreamed that she was drifting on a small boat in the vast ocean.

The boat was uncomfortable and rocked very violently.

Sonoko could only try hard to control the direction.

Sailing on the ocean, the helmsman is very important.

Although the wedding went very smoothly, it caused a joke.

The bride and groom stayed in the room for more than an hour before being awakened by the fierce knocking of the crowd.

As for what they did.

Everyone could only understand it but not talk about it.

Then, the two, as if they had lived a lifetime, hugged each other and cried bitterly at the wedding scene.

The groom and the bride's father also specially thanked the most handsome Onmyoji in Tokyo.

As for why, everyone didn't know.

They only knew that this very powerful figure not only became the exclusive Onmyoji of the Takasugi family but also received the gratitude of the Metropolitan Police Department.

His influence became even more powerful.

Ring ring ring.

The phone rang.

As time passed, a new version of the mobile phone finally appeared in this world.

Although it wasn't as compact as in later generations, it was much smaller than the previous brick phones, somewhat similar to a handheld phone.

As soon as the new model came out, Akaso Kaze immediately replaced his, and even replaced Ran's.

Picking up the phone to answer, Ayumi's delicate voice rang out.

"Brother Akaso, help, I've been kidnapped."

"Ah? Kidnapped? Wait there, I'll come save you right away!"

Akaso Kaze stood up immediately.

Everyone was attracted by the passionate kiss of the bride and groom on stage, and no one noticed his departure.

While driving, he listened to Ayumi's story.

Akaso Kaze breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was that accidental kidnapping incident; it gave me a scare.

But how could he not save such a cute little girl who was with a bunch of scary props?

Prediction magic, Ayumi!

Akaso Kaze successfully stopped the car Ayumi had crawled into and rescued her from the trunk.

"Brother Akaso..."

Ayumi pressed her delicate face against Akaso Kaze's neck, crying and sobbing.

Akaso Kaze stated his identity, and the two people in the car apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, we really didn't hear that there was a child in the trunk."

"We are not kidnappers, the human head and money in the back are all props."

"Lord Onmyoji, please forgive us."

"That's right, we are not bad people, please don't curse us to death."

The two were terrified.

They heard that this Onmyoji was very powerful, to the point of killing whoever he glared at.

Akaso Kaze was speechless.

Vulgar humans, what have they turned me into?

Am I the God of Death?

He waved his hand and let the two go.

The two left with thousands of thanks.

Akaso Kaze held Ayumi and helped her wipe away her tears.

"Be good, don't cry, little Ayumi, what did you use to call?" Akaso Kaze asked curiously.

"It's the Detective Badge, luckily I secretly wrote down Brother's phone number, but just after I finished the call, the Detective Badge ran out of battery."

Akaso Kaze said "Oh."

He remembered that the calling function of the Detective Badge was something Ran asked the Professor to help them with.

These kids often encounter danger, so being able to make calls is good for calling the police or finding help at any time.

Ayumi said while sobbing: "Brother Akaso, I was so scared, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again."

[Ding, Ayumi has developed an affection for you, current affection level is 5.]

[Females with an affection level reaching 5 can... bibibi~]

The system in his ear made a harsh sound.
