Koizumi Akako said she would arrive soon.
It really is exactly what it says, arriving very soon.
Less than three minutes.
Before Xia Ye and Ai Akemi could exchange more than a few words, a detached yet alluring voice drifted from the sky:
"Gentlemen, it's a pleasure to see you all!"
The three looked up and a somewhat dreamlike scene appeared before them.
A witch with long purple hair fluttering in the wind sat horizontally on a magic broom, hovering four or five meters above the ground.
The witch's exquisite and mysterious face wore a faint smile, her deep, dark, wine-red eyes seeming to hold endless secrets. She wore a somewhat retro sailor uniform, revealing her beautiful figure, except that the skirt, which originally covered her thighs, was lifted up by the wind—
then.
Ai smirked and whispered in Xia Ye's ear, "Xia Ye, is this witch an exhibitionist?"
Xia Ye stared intently, and subconsciously answered:
"I don't know, but the purple openwork lace really suits her temperament, both mysterious and alluring!"
Akemi shook her head and said:
"She was clearly wearing a high school uniform, but she was dressed so sexily underneath. High school girls these days are so daring!"
"you!"
Koizumi Akako, who made a stunning appearance, blushed and reached out to hold down her skirt, which was being blown up by the wind. She jumped off the magic broom and landed in front of Natsume and the other two.
She deliberately flew to such a close distance before deactivating her invisibility, all to leave a deep impression on the transmigrator Xia Ye and the two girls who also possessed the logbook. Unexpectedly, she did leave a deep impression, but it was such a terrible one!
"Ahem, you've arrived~"
Xia Ye coughed lightly, temporarily sealing away the purple image in her mind, and greeted him with a smile as if nothing had happened.
Ai and Akemi also realized what was happening and casually gave Koizumi Akako a self-introduction that both sides understood.
Koizumi Akako sighed helplessly.
There's definitely something wrong with that diary. According to her observations, every girl who owns the diary has done something somewhat rude in front of Xia Ye, like Eri's towel falling off last night and her own wardrobe malfunction today. It can't all be coincidences!
but--
Even if she is the rightful heir to the Red Magic.
There's nothing we can do about the logs either.
She had tried sacrificing the journal to the demons of the demon realm, but it was useless. Not only was it useless, but her communication channel with the demon realm was also completely shut down. To this day, even if she were to prepare a sacrifice to summon a high-ranking demon, she couldn't even summon a single ordinary imp. This must be the journal's punishment...
Based on speculation.
They want to eliminate the punishment.
She had to get in touch with Xia Ye.
Fortunately, she wasn't opposed to it. After all, there were very few mysterious beings in this world, and Xia Ye, who had suddenly appeared, was one of the ones she was most interested in. It wasn't unacceptable for her to get to know him better.
.......
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and started talking about business.
"So, you suspect that Miss Miyano Elena has become a spirit or a ghost, right?"
Koizumi Akako had already learned a rough outline of the incident from the diary. She looked at the tombstone beside her, but there was nothing surprising about it.
"That's right, Hongzi, do you have a way to confirm it?"
After all, Koizumi Akako is a professional, and if she can't help, Xia Ye will have to wait for himself to be randomly assigned an identity related to this field.
"Have!"
Koizumi Akako lifted her skirt and produced a crimson ruby wand from who-knows-where, saying calmly, "Just check if there are any undead in this cemetery!"
As the wand taps the air.
An invisible ripple swept across the entire cemetery.
Koizumi Akako frowned her beautiful brows, saying with disappointment, "No, there are no spirits in this tomb. Even if we expand the search to this entire vast cemetery, there's only one spirit that could be called a demon, and it's about to dissipate."
"Is that so?"
Ai's pretty face fell.
"But it's okay~"
Koizumi Akako smiled and said:
"If there's anything they used to carry with them, I can do a divination; my divination is very accurate!"
"Things I've always carried with me~" Xia Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll trouble Hongzi to come home with us. There are things you need at home."
"Good~"
......
At Xia Ye's villa.
Akako Koizumi has a Miyano family photo album floating in front of her, and holds a crystal ball in her hands. Visible blue energy ripples around her, and a slender figure in a white coat flashes by inside the crystal ball.
"It's confirmed, this Miss Elena is indeed 'alive' in this world as a soul! As for Mr. Miyano Atsushi, I'm sorry, he no longer exists!"
Ai and Akemi felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
Up until now, they still held onto a sliver of hope: if their mother might still be alive, then maybe their father was too—
I didn't expect to get an answer so quickly.
However, now is not the time for sadness. The two sisters looked at Koizumi Akako expectantly and asked in unison, "Then can you tell where my mother is right now?"
"No~!"
Koizumi Akako shook her head.
It's not that she's not skilled enough. Let alone Elena Miyano, she couldn't get any information about Ai and Akemi in front of her through divination. The log has been protecting them all along!
"However, the formation of the dead is usually due to strong obsession. Such dead will either follow the person with the obsession or be bound to a specific location. Finding them one by one is not too difficult!"
"That's right!"
Xia Ye patted Ai and Akemi on the shoulder and comforted them with a smile, "Your mothers are only obsessed with a few things. Let's go look for them first, and if it doesn't work, we'll see. Trust me, even if it doesn't work this time, I'll find a way sooner or later!"
"Ok!"
Ai and Akemi, of course, believed Natsume.
"Where should we go first?"
"Your mother's deepest obsession was probably with you, but since she's not by your side, then—"
Xia Ye took out her phone and dialed Vermouth's number: "Let's go check out the research institute that caught fire back then!"
I asked Sister Bei about the location of the research institute back then.
Xia Ye drove Xiao Ai and the others to 720.
Time flies, and things change.
The research institute, which once served as a base for organizational research, has been converted into several apartments specifically for rent.
The group arrived at the location of the laboratory that caught fire years ago.
Koizumi Akako used her spirit-detecting magic again, then shook her head, indicating that there was no soul of Miyano Elena here.
"It's ok!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly:
"Let's go to the next place, the former Miyano Hospital. I have a feeling we'll gain something there!"
"it is good!"
Mingmei still remembers her home address from back then.
Unlike her sister, that place holds very fond memories for her. Although she has never returned since moving away, she still remembers its location very clearly!
Beika Town, 4-chome.
Xia Ye parked the Ford Raptor on the side of the road and looked at the building not far away.
"The house wasn't rebuilt; it's basically the same structure as before, except the main gate seems to have been modified!"
Mingmei's beautiful blue eyes were filled with reminiscence as she softly said, "This place seems to have been turned into an ordinary residence. I wonder if the people living here are the same landlady from back then. I remember that aunt was very kind to me; she always brought me delicious food whenever she came!"
"Something's wrong!"
Koizumi Akako reminded him.
"Hmm, I can see that~"
Xia Ye noticed something unusual when she parked the car. Dozens, even hundreds, of black crows were soaring and circling above the rooftops, but they were unusually silent, making the scene very strange.
Ai and Akemi exchanged a glance.
Could it be that buff from last night?!
Nature's Embrace: During the buff's duration, you can communicate with animals and plants!
Mom is really here!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The crows, which had been circling silently in the sky, seemed to receive some kind of command. They paused visibly, then swooped down towards the Ford Raptor in unison, and even their cries, which had seemed to be suppressed, suddenly rang out.
Quack, quack, quack——!
Soon, the Ford Raptor was filled with black crows, their beady black eyes fixed on Xia Ye and her group inside, cawing incessantly as if trying to tell them something.
Chapter 133 Finally Meeting Elena Miyano!
Amid the cawing of crows.
Xia Ye's expression remained calm.
These crows posed no danger and seemed harmless; even their unpleasant cawing sounded like they were vying to greet people.
"Summer leaves, they are saying: You've come!"
When the crows landed, Ai used one of her log copy reward opportunities to copy the Nature's Embrace buff that her mother had received the day before, so she can now fully understand the crows' calls!
Xia Ye was somewhat surprised. Xiao Ai could understand?
"Suddenly I could understand it!"
Ai looked out the window at the crow flapping its wings. Unlike other crows, its eyes were not black beans, but blood-red like red gemstones, making it look very eerie and strange.
Xia Ye nodded, not paying too much attention.
That bottle of [Resurrection Dew] changed Ai's aptitude, and might even have given her some talent, allowing her to communicate with crows. There's nothing strange about that.
"This is a Blood Raven. Blood Ravens have the ability to communicate with souls. It seems Miss Elena is here!"
Koizumi Akako's expression was resolute:
"The Blood Raven can indeed manipulate flocks of crows, but it doesn't usually do that. Instead, it lives alone deep in the mountains. This unusual situation indicates that there must be a spirit in this building that can communicate with it!"
"That......"
Ai was about to speak.
Two elderly people ran out of the building that used to be Miyano Hospital. They took brooms and feather dusters and went to the Ford Raptor parked by the roadside. They started waving their "weapons" to drive away the crows!
"Quack quack quack—!"
The crows took flight, but continued to circle the vehicle, reluctant to leave.
They're saying: Someone's waiting for you!
Xiao Ai looked at Xia Ye, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement:
"Xia Ye, open the car window!"
"it is good!"
Xia Ye pressed the button.
