Curse back: Gender-swapped cosplayers always meet the real person

At noon, Shen'er cooked a meal for everyone.

Then he took Hui back.

Hui and Tsu Miki's school finishing times were too different, and I was planning to buy some watermelons to reward everyone who came to help, so I set out a little earlier.

"Miss Zen Temple." A woman called me as I was picking out big, round, chilled watermelons.

She was wearing a black long dress, a small white round hat on her head, and a string of white pearl necklaces hung around her graceful neck.

She stood in front of me, carrying an expensive luxury bag.

Under the hat was a beautiful face with bright lipstick on her face. Even her nails were a light pink, and on her fair fingers she wore a conspicuous platinum diamond ring.

The most important thing is that she has a face that is extremely similar to that of Tsumiki when she grows up.

"Can we chat for a while?" She nodded, glanced at the guests coming and going around, and said, "Let's go to a quiet place to chat."

……

Five minutes later, in a nearby afternoon tea restaurant.

"Do you know me?" I asked.

"He looks too similar to Shinji-kun." She said, "Even if I want to not recognize him, it's hard, right?"

She clasped her hands and placed them on the table, a gesture that showed her strength.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about today?" I asked.

"Let me get this straight to the point. I'm getting married." She took out a document from her bag and placed it on the table, moving it towards me: "This is a divorce agreement."

I:"……"

If you want a divorce, go find Shi'er. Although your marriage is just a formality and I am the gender-changed Fushiguro Shi'er, I cannot sign for you on his behalf.

"I'd like you to pass it on to him," she said calmly, "after signing, just send it directly to Matsushita Law Firm."

I opened the document and took a look. The content was very concise. It was a relatively fair divorce agreement that did not involve any property disputes.

I closed the agreement and asked, "Why don't you give it to him yourself?"

"I can't really tell..." She chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because I feel guilty?"

"Guilty?"

"Yes." The woman said with emotion: "I had agreed with Shen Erjun that he would send money every month and I would raise the two children. In the end, he broke his promise. Seeing him face to face, I can't help but feel guilty."

"...Tsumiki's mother." I said.

"My name is Fushiguro Yumi," she corrected.

"Ms. Yumi," I asked, "So what you want now is to divorce Shen Er, is that right?"

"Yes." She subconsciously touched her abdomen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I hope Shen Erjun will sign as soon as possible and don't delay."

I took the document and said, "…So this is all you have to say?"

What about Tsu Miki?

"There is one more thing." She was silent for a while, and finally said, "I want to take Tsu Miki away."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To my new stepfather's house."

For some reason, the words "new stepfather" sounded a bit harsh to my ears.

"When?"

"Now."

"Now?" I was stunned and said subconsciously: "Wait, this is a bit sudden... Are you going to take Tsumeki away today?"

"Yes." Fushiguro Yumi said, "This is not an impulse, but a decision I made after careful consideration."

"Wait." I said, "But..."

"I know that after disappearing for more than a month, he suddenly showed up and wanted to take the child away. This might be a little hard for you to accept."

She said, "Actually, I came back last time, but I left with peace of mind after seeing you taking care of the child."

She added: "But after all, I am Tsu Miki's mother, and she is more suitable to live with me."

"But..." I tried to interrupt her monologue: "Ms. Yumi..."

"Matsushita is a very good man. We will move to the city of Tokyo and Miki Tsu will live with us."

She fiddled with the ring on her finger: "Anyway, I have arranged everything. After school, Tsu Miki can just get in my car and go away."

"Tsumiki's clothes and other belongings are still at home..."

"No need." She said firmly: "I will buy new things for her. Brand new clothes, jewelry, shoes, and toys!"

"Tsu Miki won't have to live a hard life with me anymore. She can live like a real princess..."

Yumi Fushiguro continued to talk.

I had to raise my voice to interrupt her: "Ms. Fushiguro Yumi!"

"I'm sorry I can't agree to your request."

She paused: "Why?"

Then he said aggressively: "I want to take my daughter away. I don't need anyone's consent."

"Yes!" I didn't give in. "Actually, you still need one person's consent."

"Shiner-kun? He's just Tsumiki's stepfather. If I want to..."

"No, it was Tsumeki herself who agreed."

I continued, "If Tsu Miki wants to go with you, we won't stop her. Similarly, if she doesn't want to leave with you, then you, the lawyer Matsushita, and anyone else can't take her away. I mean what I say."

"Also, if Tsu Miki regrets leaving you, you can't stop her from coming back," I said.

"..."

"Okay." She stared into my eyes, her face full of determination: "I agree to your request."

*

Elementary schools usually finish school early. It is only 3:40 now and Tsumiki walks out of the school gate carrying her schoolbag.

"Auntie!" She saw me, waved in this direction, and then quickened her pace and ran towards me.

"Tsumiki!" Fushiguro Yumi took the lead and walked out from behind me, squatted down and hugged her: "My Tsumiki!"

"Mom!" Jin Meiji opened his eyes wide, looked at the woman's face, couldn't help but stick close to her, and shouted happily: "Mom, you're back!"

"Yes." She pulled away a little and looked her up and down: "Let mom see, how have you been recently?"

After taking a look, he said, "Not bad, taller and fatter."

Jin Meiji was just happy and looked up at me excitedly: "Aunt, my mother is back."

I gazed at her happy little face.

In fact, I have not been unaware of it all along.

Ever since Shin'er came back, every time Tsu Miki went home and looked towards the alley, there was always an unconcealable expectation and disappointment in her eyes.

Hui's biological father came back to find him, but Tsumiki's mother did not.

This was something that had always been buried in her heart and she hadn't said it out loud.

But now her mother is back too.

"Thank you, Miss Zenin." Fushiguro Yumi said to me sincerely, "Thank you for taking care of Tsumiki. I'm sorry for the trouble."

I shook my head. "Tsumiki is very sensible. I can't say whether she is troublesome or not."

"Tsumiki." Fushiguro Yumi blinked and said flatteringly, "Come with mom. Mom came back this time to take you away with her."

The woman's face was extremely close to hers, and the breath she exhaled was so familiar. It was the mother who had been taking care of her since she was born.

"Mom...are you coming back to take me away?" Tsu Miki asked blankly, "Without Megumi and Uncle Fushiguro?"

"Mom is getting remarried." She showed the ring on her hand: "Look, this is what Uncle Matsushita bought for Mom. Does it look good?"

"Tsu Miki, go with your mother. You will have beautiful little skirts and clothes, better-looking school bags, and a better learning environment."

She looked at the not-so-gorgeous school in front of her and said, "When the time comes, you can go to a special aristocratic elementary school."

Tsu Miki became much quieter, and her originally excited expression disappeared.

"What's wrong, Tsu Miki?" She looked at her daughter worriedly: "Don't you like these arrangements? It doesn't matter, if you don't want to transfer schools, mom can continue to let you..."

"Mom," Tsu Miki said, "I don't want to leave here."

"Mom said that it's okay if I don't want to leave school..."

"I don't want to leave my original home." said Tsu Miki.

"But, you are my daughter, you should have been with me..." Fushiguro Yumi said in a daze: "All I did was for you..."

Jin Meiji took a step back, held my hand, and said sullenly: "Mom, go back. I won't go with you."

"Why?" She took a step forward and grabbed Tsumiki's hand: "Why don't you come with me?"

"This woman has only taken care of you for more than a month. Are you going to abandon your mother because of her?"

"When mom was away, she was with Uncle Matsushita all the time." Tsu Miki said calmly: "He came to our house before, and I met him too."

"He likes his mother very much, but he doesn't like me."

"It doesn't matter." Fushiguro Yumi shook her head and said, "He will do it for me..."

"Mom, please go back." Tsu Miki repeated again: "I don't want to go with you."

"Tsumiki!"

The air fell into silence. They stood on opposite sides and neither of them was willing to give in.

Tsu Miki closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Okay then." She sighed, looked away awkwardly, and said, "If you change your mind, you can always come to me."

"..." Tsumiki didn't say anything.

"Miss Zenyuan." She turned her head and looked at me again: "I'll leave the matter of the agreement to you."

"Okay." I nodded.

After Yumi Fushiguro left, I looked in the direction she left.

Tsumiki's small hand was in mine. It was a very hot day, but for some reason it was cold.

"Tsu Miki, your mother should be sincere, why..."

"Aunt." She also looked at the woman's back as she left: "Since my father passed away, my mother has been raising me. Even after remarrying and meeting Uncle Shen'er, life is still not very good."

"She had several chances to remarry, but failed every time because of me. If I go with her this time..."

"Tsumiki." I hugged her distressedly: "I told you, you are not a burden."

"Besides, if I leave, what will Hui do?" She hugged my waist and said, "Aunt will leave one day sooner or later."

"Then there's Uncle Shier."

Tsu Miki stopped talking.

She and Hui even had a hidden worry in their hearts. If he could leave her the first time, who knew if he would leave her the second time?

So she couldn't abandon Hui. If Tsu Miki also left, Hui would really be left alone.

"Auntie!" She hugged me tightly and said, "Can you please stay a little further away from me...

I touched her head and said softly, "I'll try my best."

"..."

"It's very hot today, and the brothers and sisters who came to help are still working. Tsumiki, can you accompany me to buy some watermelons for them to eat?"

"Okay." She nodded in my arms.
