Chapter 594: Trap

Just as Lu Wushuang was stunned by the Dongying sword saint who suddenly appeared before her and suddenly used an authentic Taiji Quan move.

On the other side, in a shop near Nanako's home.

Miyoshi Ryota was leaning against the door, having already drawn both of his Tachi, monitoring the movement outside the door with full concentration.

Nanako was sitting at the table, quickly flipping through the account book. After just a moment, she stopped, looked at one page carefully, and then let out a long sigh.

"Found it."

Miyoshi Ryota turned to look over.

"When?"

Nanako responded in a low voice.

"On the day I left."

"The Shinto people did it extremely meticulously, not only erasing memories but also disguising the account book. But there is one thing they couldn't change."

She pointed to the numbers in the account book.

"Goods."

"Many merchants nearby supply goods to my home. The smaller the shop, the more dependent they are on my home. For example, food is supplied every day, so it must be ordered a day in advance."

"But from this day on, the food left over in this shop was significantly more than before, until three days later when the shopkeeper modified the quantity of the order and stabilized it."

Miyoshi Ryota suddenly understood.

"I understand."

"Although Shinto can modify memories and traces directly related to your home, they are powerless to do so within the overly vast scope of 'just indirectly related'."

"The shopkeeper's memory was modified, but the goods he ordered according to your home's consumption the day before would be delivered on time, but they were left over because of your home's disappearance—until the shopkeeper discovered this and modified the order quantity."

Nanako nodded.

"That's right."

"The day after I left, the shop's goods were left over, but the shopkeeper only modified the order quantity and processed those goods three days later—this means that from that time on, the shopkeeper's memory had already been modified."

"On the night I left."

Nanako closed the account book.

"So... the disappearance of my family really was because of my running away... It was me who caused it..."

She habitually wanted to shed tears, but for the first time, she forcibly stopped the impulse to cry—she understood that from now on, no one would pay for her tears.

No matter how many tears, they should be shed after rescuing her family from the hands of Shinto.

Nanako, who had traveled with Li Miao all the way and seen thousands of corpses without becoming strong, had changed her appearance almost overnight.

Miyoshi Ryota just wanted to comfort her, but was interrupted by her.

"Alright, back to the main topic."

"I noticed a situation—look here."

She reached out and pointed to a place in the account book.

"This name is the family that was married to my home... which was the reason I ran away from home."

"This family lived some distance away from my home, and this shop rarely supplied goods over there. And looking at this quantity, it should be that the family came here and bought some things to take home."

Miyoshi Ryota walked over to look.

"Huh?"

"This date... is many days after your family disappeared."

Nanako nodded.

"That's right."

"As far as I know, this family had no relatives, friends, or business in this area other than my home, so coming here is likely to look for my family."

"But at that time, my family had already disappeared, so after he found nothing, he bought some things on his way out."

Miyoshi Ryota was suddenly stunned.

"He... was not memory-erased!"

"They still remember your home!" ===== CHAPTER 595 =====
