"I want you to write a report about the Slit-Mouthed Woman. The scarier the better. You should also add some new settings and change some old ones. Is that okay?"
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's just a made-up urban legend. It's not something that really exists. It's all made up by humans."
"Very good, there is one more thing."
"what?"
"Since you have written a report about the Sunny Lady, you must have done some research and know that in order to restore the weather in Sakura Province to normal, a Sunny Lady must be sacrificed, right?"
Hearing this, Suga Natsumi laughed and shook her head.
“Yes, I have heard of it, but those are just legends.”
As the words fell, Suga Natsumi noticed Yexing's eyes and hesitated.
"Just legends...right?"
"Yes, it's just a legend."
Ye Xing nodded and said softly.
"However, I want you to organize this legendary story and write it into a column."
"why?"
"because..."
Yexing looked straight into Suga Natsumi's eyes. His eyes at this moment reminded the latter of the look that "Masked" had when he looked at the Sunny Doll Killer on that rainy night.
"I want to test whether all the people in Kyoto City are still worth saving."
..........
That night.
"elder sister."
"elder sister!"
After hearing her brother's two consecutive calls, Amano Haruna, who was staring at the rain outside the window in a trance, finally reacted, turned her head and forced a smile, looking at her brother Amano Nagi.
"what happened?"
Amano Nagi curled her lips, looking helpless.
"Why are you always in a daze lately? Are you thinking about your sweetheart again?"
Upon hearing this, Amano Hina's pretty face turned red and she waved her hands in panic.
"What...what lover? Don't talk nonsense. We are just ordinary classmates."
Amano Nagi looked as if she understood everything and said meaningfully.
"But I haven't said who it is yet."
"You...you are not allowed to talk nonsense! Otherwise..."
Seeing her sister looking very flustered, Amano Nagi sighed helplessly and shrugged her shoulders.
"I can understand that. After all, they helped us a lot. They allowed you to return to high school and also found a commission for Qingnv, so that you have enough money to support us."
Amano Nagi looked very understanding.
"If I were a girl, I would definitely like Brother Ye Xing too."
Amano Haruna's pretty face flushed, she sat cross-legged on the ground, a bit of loneliness in her eyes, and she muttered to herself.
"What's the use of me just liking you... and... forget it."
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Amano Haruna breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and took a look outside through the peephole. She was stunned and immediately adjusted her hairstyle and clothes. She opened the door with a slightly nervous look.
"Um...Yehxing classmate, why are you here suddenly?"
Ye Xing, who was standing outside the door, smiled and spoke slowly.
"Are you free? Please go out for McDonald's."

"Eh? McDonald's?"
Amano Haruna was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.
"Of course, it's okay, but it's raining a little hard outside... If it rains harder later..."
Just as Amano Haruna was muttering to herself, her younger brother Amano Nagi suddenly poked his head out from behind her, and first greeted Ye Xing who was standing at the door with a smile.
"You must be Brother Yohoshi, right? I've heard a lot about you. I'm Haruna's younger brother, Nagi Amano."
"Ah hello."
Just when Amano Haruna was feeling a little confused and thought that with Ye Xing's personality, he shouldn't greet her so normally, she heard the other party's next sentence.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to go out to McDonald's together?"
Amano Haruna's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently hit Ye Xing's shoulder, muttering softly.
"What brother-in-law? Don't call me that. If he takes it seriously, he will..."
Amano Nagi looked as if he understood everything. After all, although he was just an elementary school student, he was considered a veteran in the love field.
"I think it's you who wants to take it seriously, sister?"
"You guy..."
Before Amano Haruna could say anything, Amano Nagi quickly picked up the umbrella next to the door, handed it to the other person, and yawned.
"Sister, I'm sleepy and ready to go to bed. It's raining so hard outside and it's not convenient for you to come back. Let's stay at Brother Ye Xing's house for the night. See you tomorrow. Bye~"
As she spoke, Amano Nagi urged Amano Haruna to put on her shoes and half pushed her out of the house.
"Oh, no..."
Amano Haruna originally wanted to say that she didn't bring her keys.
On second thought...
This kid definitely did it on purpose! ?
Tonight, I had no intention of going home.
but...
Amano Haruna stole a glance at Ye Xing who was standing in front of her holding a black umbrella.
It seems like it’s not impossible not to go home.
Anyway...it's not like we haven't slept together before.
"Well, now..."
It had been such a long time since the trip to Itomori Town that they had the chance to be alone with Ye Xing again. Amano Haruna suddenly felt a little nervous and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.
"Let's go...to McDonald's?"
"Why McDonald's? Order takeout."
Ye Xing's words, however, were completely different from before. He simply held Amano Haruna's hand and chuckled.
"Go get a room quickly, I want to pull my twin ponytails."
Upon hearing this, Amano Hina's pretty face turned red.
Pulling twin ponytails?
What do you mean?
Pulling your own twin ponytails?
Does Ye Xing like this kind of childish behavior?
It’s just a pair of short twin tails, what’s so great about that?
And... open a room! ?
“Wait…wait a minute…”
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Ye Xing didn't give Amano Haruna any chance to refuse. He just took her hand and walked forward.
..........
Twenty minutes later, in a hotel.
Amano Haruna sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the soft big bed, her face so red that steam was about to come out of it.
She listened to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom as Ye Xing took a bath, and her whole body became distracted.
Amano Haruna was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
In this room...
There is only one bed.
Are we going to sleep together again? Isn't that a bad idea?
As soon as this thought came into Amano Haruna's mind, she recalled that when she was at the front desk, she heard that only one room was available, she did not refuse.
Or when Ye Xing pulled her forward, she did not resist.
Now be reserved...
Is it a bit too late?
but...
Amano Haruna pulled up her sleeves and looked at her wrists, which were colorful and translucent like lake water...
This last day might be pretty good.
"Amano-san."
Ye Xing walked out of the bathroom with wet water droplets on her hair.
Seeing this, Amano Haruna frowned slightly, stood up, walked into the bathroom, and took out a towel.
"sit down."
After Ye Xing sat down beside the bed, Amano Haruna wiped his wet hair with the towel in her hand and sighed helplessly.
"You are such a jerk. You should dry your hair after taking a shower, otherwise you will easily catch a cold."
"You and everyone else should take care of your health. Otherwise, what if you are attacked by an evil spirit while you are sick?"
"Also, be low-key when you act. School will start in half a month. By then, you won't have a lot of free time like you do now."
Having said this, Amano Haruna suddenly fell silent, and the action of wiping Yexing's hair also stopped at this moment.
After more than ten seconds, Ye Xing finally spoke softly in an unusually calm tone.
"Are you going to disappear?"
"Um..."
Amano Haruna nodded. Although there was a bit of complexity in her eyes, she still tried her best to keep a smile on her face.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."
A week ago, when closing the white door, Amano Haruna used the power of the weather god.
However, it is not without cost.
The condition for Amano Haruna to exchange for spiritual power is to accelerate her own disappearance.
Just a little closer.
If there was a progress bar, then Amano Haruna would only have that last 1% left before she completely disappeared.
This is also the reason why she has not accepted any commissions from Qingnv during this period.
Amano Haruna knew that she only needed to use her ability once more...
