Zongman: Even with evil spirits, it is also a relaxing daily life

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma, my name is Luo Su, and I'm practicing cooking with my master."

Even though Shihua had introduced him, Luo Su still introduced himself out of courtesy.

Because the floor of the living room was tatami, Luo Su had to kneel on the mat.

"Hello, Xiao Luo, don't feel restrained, just treat this as your home."

Grandma smiled and said

"Ah."

Grandpa nodded in agreement and then asked Shihua

"How's Rikka? Is she still the same as before?"

Touka didn't say anything, but nodded in response.

"Humph."

"Oh, husband, please don't say that."

"You two haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go add yours. Please sit down first."

"Well, thank you for your help, grandma."

"I'll make you some tea. If you get bored waiting, Tohka, you can take Luo for a walk."

After saying that, Grandpa also stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

(Luo... This is the second outrageous name I think after Su Jun.)

"Is there any here?"

Shihua asked, and Luosu shook his head.

"So, now, shall I take you around the house?"

"...Um."

Before leaving the living room, Luo Su touched the head of the golden retriever that had been squatting next to him.

Luo Su thought that it was unnecessary. If he was in this house, he would have appeared in the living room long ago. Why would he bother looking for him room by room?

But we can't say for sure, what if there are special circumstances?

Luo Su followed Shihua to check every room from the yard to the third floor of the house, and stayed in Liuhua's room for a while to confirm that this special situation did not exist.

By the way, when we were turning, the golden retriever at my grandfather's house was wagging its tail and following Luo Su the whole time.

The grandfather had already made tea and was waiting for the two of them to come back in the living room. He was a little surprised to see them wandering around the house.

Then I thought that Shihua was probably just introducing each room to Luosu. Since he had already accepted him as his apprentice, what was wrong with introducing him to the family situation in detail? Once a teacher, always a father.

So, grandpa convinced himself.

After lunch, the two stayed for a while until one o'clock before getting ready to leave.

"Won't you stay a little longer, Touka?"

"No, grandma, I have something to go back to."

"Ah, okay."

"Then we'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma."

"Goodbye."

Luo Su also said goodbye to the two and followed Shihua.

"Be careful on the road."

After walking away, Luo Su asked

"Where to go next, Master?"

"You don't have to call me Master anymore. Next... there are two more places. One is my father's grave, and the other is the old house we used to live in."

"Father's grave is near the old house, so let's hurry."

"Okay, Touka-san."

After walking around for a while and finally finding a taxi, the two headed west.

The distance from grandpa's house to the old house is more than ten kilometers, and this time Touka will have to spend more than 3000 yen.

After almost half an hour, we finally arrived at the old house.

The original old house has been demolished long ago, and now it is a vacant lot for sale.

Luo Su got out of the car and walked around the open space. After seeing nothing, he returned to the car and shook his head.

"Is that so? Then please go to this place next."

Shihua told the driver the location of the cemetery

"Ok."

The cemetery is located in a forest near the sea in the northwest. The driver drove the car to a distance of two hundred meters from the cemetery and stopped.

"No vehicles allowed ahead, both of you."

"Ah."

"A total of 5480 yen."

"Here. Also, could you please wait a moment? We should be back soon."

"Ok, no problem."

When encountering a rare customer, the driver is naturally willing to wait.

Shihua took Luosu and quickly walked to the location of the cemetery.

After walking 50 meters away, Luo Su saw only seven or eight scattered tombstones from afar.

"This is it."

Touka walked to the far left, in front of the third tombstone from left to right.

"Why did Touka come back to see me at this hour? Oh, isn't Rikka here again?"

"Who is this young man?"

A transparent figure appeared in front of the tombstone and stood right in front of Touka.

It glanced at the young man next to Touka with some confusion.

(Want to speak?)

Shihua was also looking at Luo Su at this time. Although there was no expression on her face, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

So Luo Su took a deep breath and slowly spoke

"Hello, uncle, I'm Liuhua's friend, my name is Luosu, just call me by my full name."

Luo Su turned slightly to the left and bowed in front of Juhua.

"Father... is he really right in front of me?"

"Can my father hear me?"

Shihua looked ahead at the tombstone and spoke in disbelief, her voice a little hoarse.

Luo Su nodded.

After receiving a positive response, Shihua wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"Luo Su, is there a way for me to see it too? Please."

"Sorry, Sister Touka, I can't."

"..."

Shihua clenched her fist unwillingly, then loosened it helplessly.

She could only stand there stupidly and watch Luo Su talking to the "air" in front of her.

"Actually, can you see it?"

Mr. Kotori was surprised

(Rikka's father's name is also unknown, so he is replaced by Mr. Kotori)

"Looking like this, Touka won't be able to see it. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."

"Luosu, huh? I feel relieved to see Rikka having friends of the same age."

"But, what is Touka doing bringing you here?"

"Of course I came to see you, uncle."

"I?"

"Yes, Rikka, she misses you very much."

"Rikka has never been able to accept the fact that you, my father, have passed away."

"Is that so?"

Mr. Kotori fell into deep thought when he heard this.

"We're here to confirm your existence, and then we'll bring Rikka to see you next week."

However, Mr. Kotori shook his head.

"What's the point of letting Rikka know that I exist in this way, but she can't see me?"

"No, although Touka-san can't see it, Rikka can."

"...Is that so? Then Rikka should be able to hide well from those dirty things."

"Of course, so uncle, do you agree? You just said that Rikka didn't come, and you hope to see her again, right?"

Mr. Kotori closed his eyes and thought for a while, then he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Well, excuse me, have you guys decided on a time?"

"It should be on the first day of Golden Week, what do you think, Touka-san?"

"It's up to you."

"Then it's time."

"That's all I have to say. It's time to go, Luo Su. Don't keep the driver waiting anxiously."

"Also, everything is fine at home, father."

Before leaving, Shihua said to the tombstone

"Well, I always believed in you."

Luo Su relayed Mr. Kotori's words to Touka exactly as they were.

Touka gave a rare smile, then walked towards the taxi without looking back.
