Natori, who was originally dealing with Akashi Seishin, also noticed the old man's actions. He subtly blocked the old man's view and took the initiative to start a conversation with the former clan head.

Asuka, who had been secretly observing the group, breathed a sigh of relief and took a small step back.

She hates socializing, hates socializing, hates socializing. If it weren't for Mondays, she definitely wouldn't have been able to have such a relaxed time.

Perhaps the world would be a better place if we exchanged fewer pleasantries (*v).

What an interesting combination; they each have their own roles, I suppose.

Akashi's fingers twitched slightly.

At that moment, Akashi Seishin saw his only son standing at the door.

With Natori holding him back, he gestured to Akashi with his eyes, signaling him to strike up a conversation with the other young exorcist.

Akashi lowered his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them, as if receiving a veiled hint.

Although he was indeed very interested in Mononobe, the feeling of being controlled by others was truly disgusting.

"Mononobe, would you like to go outside and talk?" Akashi asked slowly, his expression indifferent.

"go with!"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Asuka quickly nodded and stepped out of the Japanese-style room.

The Akashi family's old house is very large and full of historical atmosphere.

Inside the courtyard, pavilions and waterside terraces meander along winding corridors, with artificial hills and dry landscape gardens appearing from time to time.

The two walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

"Hello. Actually, there's a question I'd like to ask..."

The birds were the first to break the silence.

Her eyes were conflicted, with a hint of hesitation: "Excuse me, do you have a twin brother who plays basketball at Diguang?"

?

Akashi's cool expression cracked slightly.

"Mononobe-san, didn't you recognize me?"

Asuka watched as Akashi's aura changed, and when she looked up again, his heterochromatic eyes, one orange and one red, had turned completely red.

???

The bewildered bird was filled with questions.

"Chichichi, Chijun." She hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a name that was clearly not a surname.

Akashi: “…”

Did he think he couldn't tell? He didn't even know the surname...

"Your eyes?" How can they change color in a second?

Seeing Asuka's confusion, Akashi smiled gently and said seriously, "I was just wearing colored contact lenses."

Wait a minute, how come you could take it off in a second? Did the poor colored contact lens bacteria get digested by the red hair fungus?

This is clearly a fabricated reason.

However, Asuka wasn't one to pry, so she simply let it go.

She prefers to believe that the erythromycete does indeed have the special ability to remove contact lenses invisibly in a second.

The milder version of the red-haired fungus is much easier to talk to than the previous aloof version.

Asuka decided to affectionately call the former "Little Red" and the latter "Red-kun".

As for the name and such.

She really didn't know. ┐(`)┌

The two gradually strolled to the center of the old house.

A huge mountain-topped Jinshiro cherry tree stands in the courtyard.

It was early spring, and most of the branches were still bare, but some had already sprouted small flower buds.

"Little Red, spring has arrived."

The bird stopped and looked at the still lonely cherry tree with a smile.

This is actually a meaningless statement.

After all, anyone who has looked at a calendar knows that the Beginning of Spring has already passed.

But for some reason, when she said those words, they gave people a different feeling.

Akashi also stopped and unconsciously followed her gaze.

Tiny, delicate flower buds dot the matte black branches.

It brought life to the seemingly withered cherry tree.

"spring is coming."

It's no longer just the words "Spring Begins" on the calendar; even Akashi truly feels the change of seasons.

"They've arrived," the bird murmured.

"Little Red, I'm sorry for the offense."

Akashi, momentarily stunned, was pulled into an embrace filled with the fragrance of gardenias.

It seemed as if something sharp had almost grazed his cheek.

With her left arm around Akane's back, Asuka raised her right hand, and a delicate, small spirit gun appeared out of thin air.

The bullet formed from spiritual energy easily struck the man who turned to run away, instantly transforming into a large net that pinned him to the ground.

Behind the unseen by Asuka, Akashi's left eye kept shifting between orange and red.
