When Ozawa Megumi left, Hoshino quickly opened his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.
Whether it's Ozawa Megumi's words or the reality of being trapped in this room.
Qing Keisuke laughed narrowly.
"not so good."
Hoshino stood by the window and opened it. It was now close to noon, and the people staying in the village were already preparing to go out into the mountains to deliver lunch to the searchers.
From her position, she could see several people standing at the end of the village.
Hoshino nodded in understanding, without even looking at the man he admired, and asked directly: "When will Kurosawa Shiichiro be discovered?"
Upon hearing this, Hoshino immediately confirmed that he could not keep pretending to sleep until then. According to the distance between Ozawa Village and Yuzawa, the doctor would come by the afternoon at the latest, and he would even wait a while to catch lunch.
She must seize the opportunity and solve the biggest problem first.
——Ozawa Megumi.
Whether you believe it or not, what Ozawa Megumi said just now really pierced through her disguised confidence.
After all, she is not a person who is good at pretending.
She can try out new identities, but that doesn't mean she's sure to control the situation.
"Shut up."
Hoshino clenched his fists and ignored Qing Keisuke's sudden change of perspective - he clearly wanted to see how she would deal with the current trouble.
Does this mean that he is the one who takes control of the situation?
After watching Aoi Keisuke and Aka Deer, she had an uncontrollable and extremely inflated fantasy about Aoi Keisuke's abilities.
"...to clear the way with lies."
When Hoshino heard this, he twitched his lips and showed an indifferent smile.
Does this mean that you have bowed your head in front of the warmth of your family?
But what does Ozawa Kaoru’s home have to do with him?
After all, she is a wandering soul who is out of place.33
She no longer hesitated and opened the door directly, making a noise to attract the attention of Megumi Ozawa downstairs.
"Xun? Are you awake?"
"……Um."
"Dengdengdeng..."
The footsteps were much faster this time, and Ozawa Hui quickly rushed to the second floor.
Hoshino finally saw Megumi Ozawa's appearance. A mother who could give birth to a beauty like Sonoko Ozawa had indeed a beautiful face. Her hair was tied up on the back of her head, and the lead-black hair fell down on both sides of her cheeks. She was full of dignity and elegance.
"Xiao Xun!"
At this time, she looked anxious, and then she was surprised when she saw Hoshino.
"Wait, Mrs. Ozawa." Hoshino stretched out his hand coldly, blocking Megumi Ozawa half a meter away from him.
"Xiao Xun, what... do you mean this?!" Ozawa Hui's tone was extremely uneasy.
Hoshino lowered his eyes and did not look at the expression on Ozawa Megumi's face at this time.
She maintained her usual coolness and said to the mother: "I am not your daughter, I am the messenger of Toyojin God."
This is what Fujiko Hoshino came up with!
In this village that believes in Toyotsu God, only this status can create enough space for him.
"Your brain is burned out!" Ozawa Megumi said sternly.
"Your daughter was in danger last night. I protected her, but I also temporarily occupied her body. Don't worry, she is not in danger."
Of course Hoshino knew that Megumi Ozawa could not believe it easily, but she had the information provided by Keisuke Aoi, which was enough to shatter Megumi Ozawa's cognition.
"Shiichiro Kurosawa died last night. Something detrimental to Toyotsu God is happening in Osawa Mountain, so I'm here. Don't make any mistakes or expose my identity."
"Old God Lord Kurosawa? What on earth are you talking about, Xun? Stop making such jokes!"
"His body will be found tomorrow night at the latest, and then you will know that what I said is not false."
Hearing this, Ozawa Megumi was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly and leaned against the wall behind him before slowly sitting down.
"How could such a thing happen?"
"Actually, you should be able to see the difference between me and Kaoru Ozawa."
Fujiko Hoshino turned the tables: "You have to conceal your identity for me, and I will return your body to her when I find out the truth."
Ozawa suddenly covered her face and started sobbing, murmuring all the time, "How could such a thing happen?"
"Can I trust you?"
For a long time, when Hoshino began to hesitate whether to continue threatening, Ozawa Megumi began to pray and ask questions intermittently.
"You can go to the shrine and pray to Toyotsu God for answers."
"Then, please use my body instead, sir."
Megumi Ozawa knelt on the ground respectfully and offered the price to his unfamiliar little daughter.
"..."
Hoshino closed his eyes tightly and suddenly felt an angry flame burning in his chest.
This senseless and unreasonable emotion swallowed her up so violently that it almost tore her apart.
"I……"
She held her heart and said depressingly: "I have concluded a contract with Kaoru Ozawa and cannot change the partner."
"In that case... I hope you can protect my daughter's safety."
"Don't worry." Hoshino nodded.
Because of her devout belief in Toyatsu God, Ozawa Megumi must wait for the God's reply before doubting her, and also wait to see whether there will be news of Shiichiro Kurosawa's death tomorrow.
She could only wipe away her tears and humbly choose to accept it.
"Lunch will be ready soon, please wait."
"Thanks."
The eyes of the mother and daughter did not meet again. They just completed the final procedure in a programmed manner, and then fled the scene quickly and in embarrassment.
Ozawa Megumi covered her tears and ran down the stairs. She wanted to go to the shrine immediately to pray to the gods for answers, but before that, she had to wait for her red eyes to return to normal and prepare lunch for her little daughter's body.
Hoshino closed the shoji door with force, as if he wanted to relieve the mania in his heart.
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Hoshino Fujiko clenched her fists. If Aoi Keisuke were standing in front of her, she would hit him without hesitation.
But then, her eyes suddenly fell on something beside the door.
It was a floor-to-ceiling oval mirror.
There is also a transparent sticker with green vines on the bottom side of the mirror.
She saw herself in the mirror, and that face, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, was clearly the look she hated the most.
It was a rare moment when Aoi Keisuke was obedient and silent, but Hoshino suddenly longed to hear his voice.
——Even if it’s ridicule and abuse, it doesn’t matter.
Just make some noise...and let her cover up her ugliness.
As long as this is the case.
After a long while, Qing Keisuke said:
"you……"
Monkey-like people are still borrowing the sentences she wrote even at this time!
Hoshino covered his eyes, protected his tears with his hands, and let the darkness block the world, not even allowing a gap between his fingers.
Ah...ah.
Qing Keisuke, this idiot, where are the fallen leaves and floating catkins in this midsummer dream?
