"Isayama Yomi" suddenly realized that he was not surprised at all.
Even when her adoptive father said that he wanted to change his marriage partner, she had a vague premonition in her heart.
Apart from the boys in the school who confess to each other on the rooftop every now and then, the only one who has expressed a clear affection for her recently is the new guy who recently came to the countermeasures room.
"Isayama Yomi" originally thought that after learning about her engagement with "Iizuna Noriyuki", the guy named "Nightmare" would take the initiative to quit and give up his unrealistic ideas about her.
However, what she never expected was that the other party would quietly play a trick on her, seemingly keeping a polite distance from her, but secretly directly lobbying her adoptive father.
What's even more incredible is that this guy actually succeeded.
"Father, I am not questioning your decision, but... I want to know why you chose him?"
For this new member of the countermeasures room named "Night Dire", "Isayama Yomi" doesn't have much favorable impression, and at the same time, he doesn't have any bad feelings. He just thinks that this person's words are interesting. At first glance, he seems a bit frivolous and unreliable, but
His whole body always exudes an aura of enthralling confidence.
A different type from any man she had ever seen before.
"Isayama Naraku" struggled a little, but the reproach of conscience still made him choose to reveal the truth to his daughter, "He came to me today and asked me to betroth you to him in exchange for resurrecting your mother."
"No, it's not the "Taishan Mansion Lord Sacrifice", but a resurrection technique from ancient Egypt. The price shouldn't be as high as the "Taishan Mansion Lord Sacrifice"."
"Isayama Naraku" suddenly knelt down on the ground, buried his head deeply towards "Isayama Yomi", and said with tears: "I'm sorry, Yomi, I know I'm too selfish, but... I really want to
If I see your mother again, there is no way I can refuse his offer."
"Riko's mother?"
An amiable face appeared in front of "Isayama Yomi", and she now understood why her adoptive father, who had always been rational, made such an impulsive decision.
She hurried forward to lift up the old but still as tall and tall body as a mountain, and said softly: "Father, there is no need to be like this. I don't mean to blame you. In fact, even if it were me, if Lord Nightmare had promised me the same
I will agree to your conditions... You are not the only one who wants to see Riko's mother, I miss her too."
The more sensible her daughter becomes, the more guilt and self-blame "Isayama Naraku" feels: "But... after all, I made a deal with your life's happiness."
"Isayama Yomi" sighed softly and said with a bitter smile: "There are not so many things that come as one wishes in life. My biological parents also married because they liked each other, but in the end they both died on the battlefield because they were both exorcists. If they had been willing
Accepting the marriage proposal from the elders, maybe the two of them and their respective children are still living well in the world... You just chose a direction for me, but what the next life path will be, after all, it is up to me.
Own."
The explanation of "Isayama Yomi" made "Isayama Naraku" feel a little relieved. He put his big hands on her soft shoulders and nodded approvingly.
"It's just that this is going to hurt you... If you marry and follow your husband, you can no longer be considered a member of the Isayama family. Not only will you lose the qualification to be the heir of the Isayama family, but you will also lose the "Spiritual Sword Lion King" in your hand.
Reclaimed."
To be fair, "Isayama Yoshizumi" doesn't care about the position of the head of the family, but after all, this "Spiritual Sword Lion King" has been following her for many years, and she has cultivated a deep relationship and tacit understanding. Suddenly she said that she wanted to return it to the Isayama family, and she felt very sad in her heart.
It's still a bit hard to let go.
However, she also knows very well that this "Spiritual Sword Lion King" is a symbol of the head of the Isayama family. She can hold it in her hand because of the support of her adoptive father, who is the current head of the family. But once the new marriage contract is finalized, she will
If you take this sword again, it will be unfair and unjust. Even if your adoptive father is the head of the family, he will still be questioned and made things difficult by the elders of the clan.
"Isayama Yomi" gently brushed his fingers over the familiar handle of the sword, bit his lip, and held up the "Spiritual Sword Lion King" that had been following him for many years in both hands.
"I really am not qualified to use this knife anymore. Please ask Father to find another owner for it."
…
To prove his sincerity, Luo Jie came to visit again the next day.
After receiving a positive reply from "Isayama Naraku", he went to the mourning hall of Isayama's family with him, quietly took away the ashes of "Isayama Riko", found a secluded place and completed the resurrection ceremony with the "Black Book of the Dead".
The couple, who had been separated forever, met again, hugged each other tightly and cried with joy.
"Isayama Naraku" was still a little disgusted with Luo Jie who threatened him with conspiracy, but as he met his wife, this disgust also turned into deep gratitude.
"Congratulations, uncle."
"Thank you, Nightmare-kun." "Isayama Naraku" stretched out one arm and held Luo Jie's hand tightly, and his excitement was beyond words, "It's all because of you that Riko and I can reconnect."
I wonder how long the resurrection technique of the [Black Book of the Dead] can last? Are there any taboos during the resurrection?"
Luo Jie can understand the worries of "Isayama Naraku". Because he has lost it before, he will cherish it even more when he has it again.
"Uncle, don't worry. In the ancient Egyptians' perception, death and life are sacred, so the [Black Book of the Dead] is not a magic spell. The resurrected people are also real human beings of flesh and blood, not some living dead who have borrowed corpses to resurrect their souls... As long as
There are no surprises, I can completely continue my unfinished life."
"Isayama Riko", who was wrapped in clothes and nestled next to her husband, was surprised when she heard this. After all, she did not want the so-called "resurrection" to turn herself into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
"But there are two things I still have to remind you and Aunt Lizi." Luo Jie raised two fingers with a serious expression, "First, resurrection of the dead is a forbidden technique. If used by someone with ulterior motives, it may cause disaster.
The dire consequences are expected, so I ask my uncle and aunt not to spread the news... It would be better for my aunt to live with my uncle under the false identity of Xuxian, and it will be safer if she can get minor plastic surgery."
"Second, the resurrection of the dead is a method that defies heaven, and it cannot be done in two ways. Uncle, I ask you to take good care of your aunt. If another accident happens to your aunt, I am afraid that she will not be able to be resurrected even if you activate the "Taishan Mansion King Sacrifice"."
"Isayama Naraku" nodded solemnly: "Thank you for the reminder, Nightmare-kun, I will pay attention."
"Uncle, there is no need to thank me. After all, this is just a transaction." Luo Jie closed the black scripture, which was as thick as a brick, and said with a smile: "I have done what I promised to my uncle, and now it is my uncle's turn to fulfill his promise."
"Please rest assured, Nightmare-kun, I, Naraku Isayama, am not a trustless person. Today I will go to Iizuna's house in person to discuss the matter of terminating the engagement."
The conversation between the two confused the newly resurrected "Isayama Riko", but as a well-educated woman, she wisely chose not to interfere in the affairs between men.
"By the way, uncle, once the Iizuna family's engagement is terminated, Huang Quan will lose his status as the heir to the head of the family, right? Has a new heir been chosen?"
"Isayama Naraku" didn't know why Luo Jie mentioned this matter. He was stunned and shook his head: "I haven't considered it yet. After all, it is difficult for this generation of the Isayama family to find an outstanding disciple like Huang Quan."
"If you can let go of the grudges of the previous generation, you might as well consider "Isayama Mei". Her ability is no worse than Huang Quan. What she lacks is just an opportunity to prove her ability."
"Isayama Naraku"'s hatred for his younger brother "Isayama Yu" arose because he escaped from battle and caused the death of his wife "Isayama Riko". Now that his wife has returned to him, his hatred for his younger brother "Isayama Yu"
The hatred faded away.
After all, blood is thicker than water, and he actually doesn't want to live like this with hatred for his brothers.
