"It looks like from now on, Sister Liu, you will become the Ghost King who commands countless ghosts."

"Give me a break." Yue Chengliu felt a headache upon hearing this. "Just managing the few people in Section 6 has kept me busy. I finally see my work getting a little easier in the future. Lianqiu, please don't throw a bunch of subordinates at me."

"I don't want my wonderful life of being able to go to get off work on time to return to the same state in a few days."

After bidding farewell to Tamayo, Jiang Lianqiu and Yuecheng Liu left the laboratory with Nezuko following closely.

The two of them held Nezuko's small hands, one on the left and one on the right, and came to the courtyard outside the house. Jiang Lianqiu encouraged Nezuko, "Nezuko, give it a try?"

"Ok!"

Nezuko loosened her grip, removed her hood, untied her cloak, and took a step forward.

The warm sunlight shone on her rosy face, and the warmth made Nezuko curl her eyes comfortably.

Nezuko took off her gloves again, as if to hold up the light, raised her hands, looked at her fingertips whose skin was crystal clear and transparent in the sunlight, and a bright smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth.

When she came to her senses, she seemed to realize something. She turned around and looked at Jiang Lianqiu and Yue Chengliu who were standing side by side, then she pounced into Jiang Lianqiu's arms again.

"Brother! Thank you!"

"So, as a thank you, Nezuko, could you answer a question for me?"

Probably realizing what Jiang Lianqiu was going to ask, Nezuko pursed her lips into a straight line and nodded slowly.

After thinking about it, Jiang Lianqiu squatted down and kept his eyes level with Nezuko.

"Why did it have to be like this on purpose?"

Nezuko's mouth fell, and her expression became a little annoyed and a little ashamed.

Yue Chengliu gently patted Jiang Lianqiu's shoulder and said angrily, "How can you ask a child that question?"

She also squatted down, holding Nezuko's face with both hands, and coaxed her in an extremely gentle voice: "Nezuko, be good, tell me, what are you worried about?"

"No... I'm not worried..." Nezuko felt uneasy, and the shame in her eyes became even stronger, "It's just... just..."

"Lianqiu, could you please step aside for a while?" Yue Chengliu saw Nezuko hesitant, so he asked Jiang Lianqiu to step aside for a while.

"Okay." Jiang Lianqiu left as he was told.

I went to the next yard and found a pavilion to sit down. Within two minutes, a figure appeared in the sunshine.

"Master, this is your favorite special blend of black tea. I am happy to serve you~"

Ai Lian placed the black tea in front of Jiang Lianqiu.

"Do I need you to cast a spell to make the tea more delicious?"

"You're on duty today? Huh? Are you still angry, Round Shark?" Jiang Lianqiu looked at Ailian, who looked like she was in so much trouble, and felt amused. "Didn't you just tell Lekaan about you finding someone to impersonate a parent?"

"Thanks to you, Master, I've had half a month's salary docked. All the clothes I was planning to buy for the movie I went to with my friends are ruined."

Jiang Lianqiu smiled and waved to Ai Lian: "Let me touch your tail, and I will increase your salary back."

Ailian: “?”

Want to touch? No!

The words were almost on the tip of her tongue, but Ailian swallowed them in the end.

"You can only... touch it once! Perverted Master!"

"If Lecan heard what you just said, I'm afraid you'll lose all your salary for the next six months."

Looking at the shark's tail that was slowly stretching in front of him, Jiang Lianqiu gently pinched the tip of Ailian's tail and stroked the shark's skin with his fingertips, causing Ailian to shudder and his legs to sway.

"No... no no... didn't you, Master, specifically ask me to do this?" Ai Lian seemed to think of the scene where half a year's salary was deducted. She looked at Jiang Lianqiu in horror, but found that his face was full of satisfaction.

"Tsk! It really is a perverted master!"

"Let's make a deal," Jiang Lianqiu suggested, "Let me hold this tail while I sleep tonight—"

"No !!!!"

"—I can help you with your parent-teacher conferences in the future. I'll also cover for you at school. The master is also a parent, right?"

Ailian: “?”

Attending parent-teacher meetings was her biggest headache. She used to ask Lekaan to go, and every time she came back from the meeting, Lekaan would lecture her in various ways. Just thinking about it gave Ailian a terrible headache.

If it's the master...

"That's... not impossible, but you can only hold me while I sleep! You're not allowed to do anything weird!"

"Yeah, no problem." Jiang Lianqiu answered perfunctorily.

It's so funny. It sleeps with its tail hugged. It's not up to the shark whether it does anything weird or not.

Just after taking a sip of black tea, Jiang Lianqiu saw Yue Chengliu walking over.

Entering the pavilion, Yue Chengliu sat opposite Jiang Lianqiu, legs together, and smiled, "I found out."

"what happened?"

"That child..." Yue Chengliu glanced back at the corner of the citron corridor and saw a shadow poking out from the ground. "She really loves being pampered by you and everyone else as a child. Although I didn't ask too much, I can guess after learning about her past life."

"The Kamado family wasn't doing well. A mother had to raise six children. Tanjiro, the eldest son, had to chop wood and make charcoal early on to earn money. Nezuko, the eldest daughter, naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings and helping her mother from a very young age."

"To put it simply, Nezuko never had a childhood. She was forced into a mother-like role when she was still a child. But you, Lianqiu, went over there some time ago and unintentionally helped Nezuko complete her childhood. Now, the little girl is reluctant to live a life where she is truly treated like a child, but her precocious nature makes her feel that this behavior is extremely selfish..."

"...That's it?" Jiang Lianqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "So she's worried that she won't be able to act like a spoiled child anymore after she becomes what she used to be?"

You only need to observe the diligence and precocity of Hanako, a girl who is less than ten years old, to imagine what kind of life Nezuko, who is only 12 years old this year, has lived in the past.

It seems that when the story begins, Nezuko was dressed almost like an adult woman when she first appeared, and she really looked like a mother, carrying her baby brother in a cradle and coaxing him to sleep.

If you don't know, you would think she is already married.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lianqiu waved to the shadow in the corner: "Nezuko, come here!"

Nezuko popped her head around the corner.

"Brother will take you to an amusement park in another world."

Chapter 396: Ailian's Classmate

Since he decided to take Nezuko out to play, Jiang Lianqiu simply called another person along.

The falling chestnut blossoms are so fragrant.

Although the girl is 16 years old, she looks much younger than her actual age. Because of her childhood experiences, her personality is still so introverted that it is worrying.

In addition to making decisions for herself by flipping a coin, she also has the habit of whispering in her heart.

But Kanao Kurikara herself cannot even detect the voice of her own heart.

Calling the two girls, Jiang Lianqiu and Yue Chengliu went straight back to New Ailidu.

Although they had the experience of the previous few days as a prelude and had been exposed to the Universal Network, it was Kanao and Nezuko's first time to come to a modern city.

Kanao was fine. She stood quietly beside Jiang Lianqiu, just smiling and observing the surrounding skyscrapers and traffic.

Nezuko, however, let go of her hands and feet and ran away on the sidewalk, her clogs making crisp sounds on the ground.

"Shark, keep an eye on Nezuko, don't let her run away.-"

Jiang Lianqiu gave orders to Ai Lian who was on duty today.

"Understood, Master~"

Ailian responded, and when chasing Nezuko, Jiang Lianqiu noticed that her expression looked a little unnatural.

It seems that because she has returned to a familiar environment, she is worried about being seen by classmates and friends while openly wearing a maid outfit?

Jiang Lianqiu withdrew his gaze from Ailian and lowered his eyes to look at Kanao beside him.

"Are you scared?"

Kanao raised her head and shook her head slightly.

Then, in front of Jiang Lianqiu's surprised gaze, she raised her hand and gently pinched his sleeve.

Before doing this action, Kanao Kurikara did not flip the coin.

A trace of surprise flashed across Jiang Lianqiu's face, then he smiled and took the initiative to hold Chanel's soft hand.

"Don't worry, Sister Liu and I will hold your hand."

"Tell me if you're interested in anything." Yue Chengliu's voice became softer. She stroked Chanaho's head and pushed up her glasses. "This is my hometown, so don't worry."

Lihua Luokanaihu turned to look at Yuecheng Liu again, and after a while, the two of them finally heard a faint response.

"……Um."

Jiang Lianqiu and Yue Chengliu couldn't help but smile at each other.

Being able to speak proactively is already a huge improvement.

……Dividing line……

In Jiang Lianqiu's opinion, the amusement park in New Elido was no different from that in other worlds, and the attractions were the same over and over again.

It is the lovely staff and Greek people who make this place so special.

Nezuko and Kanao were dazzled by the sight of such a lively and entertaining place for the first time.

Jiang Lianqiu had originally considered various situations and planned to arrange some fun activities for the two of them, but a few minutes later -

“Ooo ...

This is Nezuko sitting in the first row of the roller coaster with her hands raised high.

"…………"

This is Kanao sitting side by side with Nezuko, smiling, but her forehead is a little dark.

“Woooooooooooooo!!!”

This is Yue Chengliu who is sitting behind the two of them, covering her mouth and trying hard not to vomit.

"Zzzzzz..."

And finally, there was Ailian taking a nap with Yue Chengliu - it's a good thing you can fall asleep on a roller coaster, Round Shark.

When the roller coaster stopped, Nezuko was still sitting in her seat and didn't want to get off.

Kanao Lihualuo relaxed her tense body little by little.

After Yue Chengliu got off the car tremblingly, he saw Jiang Lianqiu standing opposite him, and took three or two steps to move closer to him.

"Let me slow down... Ugh!"

"Sister Liu, you once worked in Anti-Aircraft Section 6. Isn't fighting Yi Hai in the hollow more exciting than this?"

"That's different!" Yue Chengliu clasped Jiang Lianqiu's shoulders tightly with her fingertips, gritting her teeth and trying to suppress the churning discomfort in her stomach. "During battle, I can control all my actions myself, but this won't work... I don't feel safe..."

After Yue Chengliu felt better, Jiang Lianqiu went to pat Ai Lian who had fallen asleep.

"Round Shark, wake up, the car has stopped."

"……what?"

Ailian opened her eyes dazedly and was stunned for a while before coming to her senses.

After the girls got off the car, Jiang Lianqiu took them to experience a number of projects, and then they sat on a bench on the street and ate ice cream cones.

"Is that a round shark!? Round shark!!!"

Suddenly, a cheer of surprise came from the crowd in front.

Ai Lian, who was standing beside Jiang Lianqiu, stiffened instantly.

She looked at the blonde girl who rushed out of the crowd and her two companions who followed closely behind with an embarrassed look on her face.

"It's really you, Shark! You're wearing a maid outfit! What are you doing? Cosplay?"

"Don't call me that name in public! And I'm working!"

Ailian grabbed Ruby by the collar, turned around and bowed to Jiang Lianqiu, saying, "I'm very sorry, I need to deal with a personal matter."

"Ailian." Jiang Lianqiu spoke softly.
