"Ah, this…"
The father of the child looked confused and didn't know how to respond to this.
Light some incense for yourself?
Why do I feel this behavior is a bit outrageous?
"Just kidding."
Yozora shook his head and said with a chuckle.
Then, he lit the incense in his hand, inserted it in front of the portrait of Miko's father, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and murmured a prayer.
"I hope the deceased will bless me, and let me have a beautiful girl throw herself into my arms every week... no, every day. It would be best if I could be a cat girl. Thank you very much."
Listening to Yozora's extremely pious tone and the outrageous content of his prayer, Miko's father was speechless.
Are there beautiful girls throwing themselves at you every day?
And the whole cat girl?
He doesn't have that ability.
Besides, praying for blessings from the deceased is something we do silently in our hearts. How can we say it out loud? Are we afraid that others won't hear it?
Evaluated as the innate abstract holy body.
Miko's father shook his head, put aside the complicated emotions in his heart, coughed twice, and then spoke.
"Student Yozora, I can sense that you seem to be different from ordinary people."
Then, Miko's father seemed to remember something and quickly added a sentence.
"I mean the body, not the brain."
"Weird?"
"I didn't mean that at all, don't think too much about it."
After a few short conversations, Miko's father, who had been worried about his daughter, was completely relieved.
He doesn't quite understand what type his daughter likes.
But ninety-nine percent of the time, it is definitely not as abstract as the yozora's.
To what extent is the yozora abstract?
It even makes people ignore his outstanding appearance when talking to him.
All that comes into view is abstraction.
When abstraction reaches its extreme, it becomes an art.
This is what the great painter Van Gogh pursued throughout his life.
"Okay, enough small talk."
The frivolous and lazy smile on Yozora's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious look.
He looked at the ghost of Yotsuya Miko's father and asked slowly.
"Can you feel anything different about the long sword that Miko and I brought back today?"
"Well... there is indeed."
Yotsuya Miko's father stroked his chin and spoke thoughtfully.
"Although the long sword has not been unsheathed, I sensed a very uneasy atmosphere before you even entered the house. If this was not my home before I died, I would have wanted to escape as soon as possible."
"I see."
While listening, Yozora took out the black notebook and wrote on it.
"Well... it has a very strong deterrent effect on ordinary ghosts."
Then, Yozora asked again.
"Do you know if there is any place where evil spirits and ghosts dare not set foot?"
"This, indeed, exists."
Yotsuya Miko's father replied without much hesitation, scratching his head.
"There are several locations, namely..."
After writing down all the places mentioned by the other party, Yozora couldn't help but frowned slightly.
He had anticipated the several shrines in Kyoto.
After all, in the original plot, Yotsuya Miko went to the shrine to pray and gained the ability to be used three times to summon the twins to destroy evil spirits.
But why among the names of several shrines, there is an inappropriate and cheerful name...
McDonald's?
Are you trying to make fun of me?
Just a second thought.
Seeing the father of his son, there is no reason to deceive himself.
As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good.
According to this logic, for a dead person to meet his son's father, that would be a super double blessing, an act of kindness upon kindness.
The most important thing is, you should be able to understand by looking at the other person's appearance.
Having the ability of Yin-Yang eyes is not a good thing for Yotsuya Miko.
It was a malicious joke from God.
"Well, there's nothing else I want to ask you."
Hearing Yozora's words, Jian Zi's father nodded, then his face turned serious and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Student Yozora, although this is the first time we meet, I have a request that I hope you can agree to."
"Well, go ahead."
"I hope you can protect Miko's safety."
Faced with the father's sincere and almost pleading words, Yozora just shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you that."
The father was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"First of all, I can't even protect myself."
Yozora shrugged and smiled.
"Secondly, are you sure that your wish to see your son is really just to live a peaceful life?"
Hearing this question, the father could only remain silent.
He knew that his daughter, although she appeared to have a three-no character on the surface, was actually a kind-hearted girl who was willing to help others.
Should he, as a father, tell Miko not to think about being a good person and just take care of himself?
He really couldn't bring himself to say it.
"but."
Just when Yozora saw his son's father's complicated mood, he suddenly changed the subject.
"What I can promise is that I will find a way to make Miko have the ability to fight against evil spirits, just like myself."
Hearing this, his father sighed helplessly and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Yozora.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Yozora."
"OK, I will take care of your wife and children, you don't have to worry."
Seeing his son's father's face gradually becoming transparent, a speechless look emerged, and he only left one last sentence before disappearing completely.
"You, kid, really opened my eyes."
…
After Yotsuya Miko's father passed away, Miko's mother just came out of the kitchen and put steaming hot dishes on the table.
Without even taking off her apron, she warmly greeted Yozora who was sitting in front of Miko's father's portrait.
"Yozora, come and have dinner with us."
The more the mother looked at the yozoras, the more she thought that this young man was really good.
On the first day he visited the house, he not only brought a gift, but also burned a stick of incense for the father who had just passed away.
What a considerate and gentle boy.
"Sister Touka, I have something else to do, so I won't stay for dinner."
When she heard Yozora calling her "sister" and using that intimate name, the mother was so happy that she burst into joy.
"Hey, how can you not eat?"
"Next time, I have something else to do today."
After hearing what he said, Yotsuya Touka didn't force him and just smiled.
"Okay, come to my house and play next time when you have time."
"Of course, of course."
Yozora responded with a smile, then walked to the door of the living room, looked at Yotsuya Miko who had a complicated expression, and greeted her.
"Then I'll be leaving first. See you at school tomorrow, niece."
After saying this, he left without waiting for Yotsuya Miko to retort.
