"Mom, I'm ho!"
Tenya followed Miko to her house, a two-story Western-style building with a neatly maintained yard.
It was easy to imagine how happy this family of four must have been before the incident.
"Miko, welco ho."
Greeting them at the door was a dignified and beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to Miko.
Perhaps having experienced the pain of losing her husband and son, the beautiful woman carried a hint of sorrow and fragility.
"Oh dear! We have a guest today, a handso young man."
Yotsuya Touko looked at Tenya with a surprised expression.
From what she knew, her daughter rarely interacted with boys her age.
"Hello, Auntie, my na is Yoshida Tenya, and I am a student at Sobu High School." Tenya introduced himself with a smile.
"Yoshida Tenya?"
"Mom, let's go inside first."
Miko pulled Tenya into the house, her gaze scanning the surroundings as if checking whether the spirits of her father and brother were present.
Touko's gaze fell on her daughter's hand holding Tenya's, and a strange look flashed in her eyes, thinking that her daughter seed to have a deep connection with this young man.
As a mother, she needs to carefully check him.
After entering the house, Touko enthusiastically prepared tea and snacks for Tenya and began to subtly inquire about his family.
It was as if a mother-in-law was questioning her son-in-law.
"Mom! Stop interrogating him!"
"Yoshida-san is my good friend!"
The sensitive Miko clearly realized her mother's little sche and imdiately blushed deeply.
"Eh~ Is he really just a friend?"
Touko asked with a teasing tone.
"Mom...!"
Miko was extrely shy and didn't know how to answer.
"Currently, only just." Tenya replied with a smile.
"Oh~ Which is to say, in the future..."
Touko's eyes lit up, thinking that this young man before her was truly bold.
"Mom! You should go get busy!"
"I and Yoshida-san need, need..."
"That's right! We need to discuss our studies!!"
Miko finally rembered her main purpose and found an excuse to send her mother away.
"Alright, mom will go make you sothing to eat."
Touko was also quite tactful, giving the two young people space to be alone.
After sending her mother away, Miko took a deep breath and cald herself down.
"How is it?"
"Yoshida-san..."
Miko was asking about the spirits of her father and brother in the house.
They usually appeared silently, and now she didn't know where they were hiding.
"I can sense their presence."
"But they seem to be in a semi-dormant state."
"If they don't show themselves, I can't determine anything."
Tenya looked towards the portraits of Miko's father and brother hanging in the corner of the living room.
"Then, how do we wake them up?" Miko asked, puzzled.
"Hmm. We could try doing sothing that would stimulate them."
After a mont of contemplation, Tenya thought of a good plan, and the corners of his mouth subtly curved upwards.
"Sothing to stimulate them...?"
Miko was startled at first, then seed to think of sothing, and her cheeks turned red again.
Doing sothing like that in front of the spirits of her father and brother, wouldn't it be inappropriate?
"I an, the food they liked to eat when they were alive..."
"Yotsuya-san, what are you thinking about?"
Tenya feigned a look of confusion.
"Ah? You were talking about food?"
"I-I thought..."
As she spoke, Miko quickly covered her mouth, afraid of revealing her bold thoughts.
"Good idea!"
"Let's do as you suggested!"
Tenya clapped his hands.
"Ah?"
"I didn't say anything... Uh!"
Miko's eyes widened, and upon eting Tenya's playful expression, she imdiately understood that he was deliberately teasing her.
"Yoshida-san, you're so an!"
Miko couldn't help but stomp her foot.
Unexpectedly, Tenya suddenly leaned forward, gently cupped her chin with one hand, and their eyes t at close range.
"Your precious daughter and beloved sister are about to be tricked away by a bad man~"
Tenya's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a charming and wild smile.
"Ah?!"
Staring intently at Tenya's approaching face, Miko's heart raced, and in the end, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
Just as the two were about to make intimate contact, suddenly, the two portraits in the living room shook violently.
"Miko!"
"Sister!"
With a flash of two white lights, two illusory figures, one large and one small, appeared out of thin air in the living room.
"You pervert!"
"What are you doing to my adorable daughter!!"
The middle-aged man was furious.
A punch...
No!
It should be a claw that viciously swiped at Tenya.
Facing the sudden attack, Tenya could easily counter the opponent.
But considering that the other party was Miko's Father, he could only choose to retreat and evade.
"Swoosh~"
The little boy's figure flashed, circling behind Tenya, his arm transforming into a long, sharp spike, just about to launch a sneak attack.
"Stop, that's my friend!!"
Seeing this, Miko imdiately shouted to stop the little boy who was about to attack from behind.
"Huh?"
The little boy subconsciously stopped his movent.
"Miko?"
"You, you can see us?!"
The middle-aged man stared at her with a shocked expression.
"I..."
Miko's heart trembled, rembering the terror of being targeted by the spirits before.
"Yotsuya-san, with here, you don't need to be afraid." Tenya gently held her hand.
"Yoshida-san..."
Miko's heart imdiately ward, and her inner fear lessened considerably.
She looked firmly at the spirits of her father and brother before her, and responded seriously, word by word, "I can see you! Dad and brother!!"
Mamoru's eyes widened, and then his emotions beca extrely agitated.
"This is wonderful!"
"Miko, co let dad hug you!"
"Dad missed you so much!"
Kyousuke beside him was the sa, directly rushing forward with a flying leap.
"Sister!!"
Conqueror's Haki.
An invisible pressure blocked the two from approaching.
"Yoshida-san, could it be..."
Miko was startled at first, then seed to think of a possibility, and her face turned pale.
"No, they are both your family."
"They have not been transford into evil spirits."
