"Does he know me that well? Who asked me to call him Ryoko? Just call him by his surname Hoshino."
What appeared in front of the young man was a tall, young and beautiful woman wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a Taishi Bureau uniform.
The woman had long black hair that was tied into a high ponytail. As she walked towards the boy, the ponytail swayed from side to side. She looked lively, cheerful, youthful and beautiful.
That uniform and that sense of youth made the boy feel a little familiar.
Why is it familiar?
Because except for some parts, it is just a replica of Rumi Hoshino.
That's normal, after all, the person in front of me is Hoshino Rumi's mother, Hoshino Ryoko... what she looked like when she was young.
The uniforms and temperament are very similar, but the only thing is the looks...
Strangely enough, when Hoshino Ryoko was young, she looked nothing like Hoshino Rumi.
How can a daughter not look like her mother? Isn’t she her biological child?
The young man couldn't help but have such a strange idea in his mind, but he quickly shook his head and threw the ridiculous idea behind him, and blurted out involuntarily:
"Hoshino is so popular. Besides, Sister Liangzi, they have met so many times. When we first met, I kissed him. Are we not familiar with each other?"
"You...I, I, I dare to say that my little bastard, if he mistook me for drowning and gave me artificial respiration based on the principle of saving people, he would not be fooled by my little bastard.
Take advantage."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought of. The pony-tailed woman's face turned red, as if she was a cooked prawn.
"Sister Ryoko, that's not good for him. Who made that old man Abe break his promise? He clearly said that he would take him for a physical examination, but he just threw him into a large pool. Did he want to drown him?"
"What a big pool, that's called a culture tank. If he does that, he will let the Taishi Bureau check my physical condition and find a way to restore me to a human as soon as possible."
"Tsk, does that old man have such good intentions? He doesn't believe it!"
The young man curled his lips and quickly remembered that when he first came there, he was coaxed, half-threatened and coaxed in by the old man named Abe.
"No, I'm wrong, the half-demon boy! He knows if I was possessed by that damn jade... no, if I was transformed into a half-demon by the nine-tailed fox demon's magic."
"Don't look at him like that. Regarding my information, Takegai Metropolitan Inspector has compiled a file and backed it up in the dormitory. As the dormitory leader, he naturally has the right to review it. I have to say that she is a very dedicated Onmyoji.
."
"What, I asked him what he wanted to see me for? It's very simple. He came to me and wanted to ask me something. Do I want to be restored to human form?"
"Sure enough, I didn't think so. It seems that it would be very uncomfortable for me to become that kind of person who is neither a human nor a monster!"
"It's actually very simple to get rid of the identity of a half-demon and return to being a human. He can help me, but depending on the conditions, I have to cooperate with him to do something."
"What am I asking about? It's a simple matter. He needs me to accompany him to the Taishi Bureau to cooperate with a research they have completed on the 'weaknesses of the nine-tailed fox demon'."
"Of course, if I don't cooperate, it won't be a big deal. If Zhuwai Metropolitan Prison secretly hid a half-demon in his home for many months, that would be a big crime..."
So, he was half-threatened and half-indulged and brought there to do research, no, to be researched by others.
Therefore, he would naturally not be mistaken about his fondness for the old man named Abe.
"I'm not allowed to say that to Captain Abe. Is he a veteran of the spirit world in Hokkaido who has good conduct and high moral standards?"
"Good conduct? Just him? Hmph!"
"Why am I humming? No matter what, I am better than a little bastard like me, pretending to be drowning, it's his bad luck, he was the only one present at that time."
"Sister Liangzi was wronged. Did he really drown at that time?"
"Bah, little bastard, I thought he didn't know that my body was half-demonized. Shuidong could hold it in for several hours without breathing. It would be very dangerous for him to drown. Who am I to coax?"
"Ah... Sister Liangzi, let's not talk about that anymore. Why don't we draw his blood quickly?"
"Humph, come with him!"
After that, Hoshino Ryoko took the boy into a research room, then changed into medical clothes, put on a mask and leg gloves, took out the syringe and started collecting blood from the boy.
Is this a step that the young man must take every time he comes, or is it an explanation given by Captain Abe and their branch director of the Taishi Bureau.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, be gentle, be gentle, sister Liangzi."
"You're so old, I'm very afraid of pain, and I shout so loudly, I'm really not ashamed~"
"He fainted from the needle. Sister Liangzi, he can't do it anymore, he can't do it anymore, stop it now."
"Don't make trouble. This is the tenth time to draw blood. I don't know. Every time I draw 800 ml, I beg you to be afraid of pain. Sister, please chat with me for a while!"
Normal people can draw up to 400 ml of blood, and any more will be dangerous.
In the past, the young man could not smoke according to the 400 ml amount, but later the bureau found that the young man's body had become semi-demon, and all aspects could not be measured by ordinary people.
Take blood drawing as an example. For a boy with a half-demon body, it would not be a big deal to draw more blood. At most, he would fall asleep for a few hours afterwards.
As a result, the amount was later increased to 800 ml.
This made Ryoko Hoshino feel a little intolerable. Although she was a half-demon, after all, she was not originally a human being, not even an underage boy.
The bureau really doesn’t want to, let’s study it. Is it true that they would treat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy so wrongly? Alas!
"Okay, let's chat."
"What do I want to talk about?"
"Well...just let's talk. Does Sister Liangzi have a boyfriend?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the young man regretted them.
Wait, isn’t that Hoshino Rumi, his girlfriend’s mother?
Look at what he said. Are you so shut up with your mother-in-law?
However, the dream created by the demon mirror is not his memory, and he has no control over the wrong words or actions in it.
It cannot interfere with the progress of the plot.
"I……"
On the other side, Hoshino Ryoko was speechless, her face turned red again, and she didn't know whether she was embarrassed or angry, maybe both.
"Forget it, don't argue with me."
After finally catching his breath, Hoshino Ryoko immediately snorted coldly.
Although she was a little angry, she also knew that the young man might be feeling panic or fear at this moment. After all, at such a young age, he was taken to the Taishi Bureau for research and had to have so much blood drawn so many times.
If it were any other child, he might have had a nervous breakdown long ago.
The young man is also quite strong. Except for the first two times when he was quite reserved, he gradually loosened up later on. Occasionally he would quarrel with her and make fun of her.
Perhaps, he is using that method to relieve the fear in his heart!
When she thought of that, Hoshino Ryoko suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was no longer so "hateful", and instead felt a little sympathetic to him.
"Sister, I didn't answer his question!"
"No."
"It's not that good. That's not possible. Sister Liangzi, I'm not young anymore. Please work harder!"
"It's none of my business, huh, men don't have any good things, and what he likes most are us men!"
"She likes men. Hey, does she suffer from male misogyny? Why can she talk to him..."
The young man muttered something in a low voice, and then quickly said:
"Sister Liangzi, that's not good. You can't get married without a boyfriend, and you can't have children without getting married. In our island country, it's a very unethical thing for a girl to have a baby without getting married."
"So what, he likes men and doesn't want to marry them. As for having children, the worst he can do is adopt one!"
