Chapter 32 The Contract is Completed, Confession
The next day, the sun slowly rose.
Exhausted, Miko is still sleeping in bed.
Mrs. Yotsuya also went out to buy groceries.
At this moment, only Ye Xiao, the Si Gu father and son, and a dog were in the living room.
"So you're saying you came here for Shibatarou?"
"That's right, I want Shibatarou to become Miko's familiar, or you could call him a guardian spirit, a guardian spirit that isn't affected by resentment, and he can help Miko a lot in the future."
Ye Xiao answered all of Uncle Yotsuya's questions one by one.
Uncle Yotsuya was stroking the dog in its evil spirit form as he pondered, and then he spoke to Shibatarou.
"Do you want to continue protecting Miko?"
When questioned by his master, Shibatarou made a harsh and hoarse sound.
"What will I do if I...leave...home?"
"I'll take care of her at home, Taro. Actually, I wanted to ask you to protect Miko, okay?"
"no problem."
Under the persuasion of Uncle Yotsuya Miko, Shibatarou nodded in agreement.
Now that Shibatarou's request has been agreed to, all that's left is for Yotsuya Miko to get up and sign the contract.
Time passed little by little.
Yotsuya Miko slowly woke up, the tearing sensation from last night completely gone.
They discovered that Ye Xiao was not around.
Yotsuya Miko also changed her clothes and slowly went downstairs.
I heard it as soon as I reached the top of the stairs.
"Look, this is a picture of Jianzi when she was little. Isn't she adorable?"
"Hmm, like a little dumpling."
Yotsuya Miko hurriedly went downstairs and saw her deadbeat father showing Ye Xiao his childhood photo album.
"dad!"
"Kojiko has woken up."
Yotsuya Miko, her face flushed with embarrassment, rushed over angrily and snatched the photo album, scolding, "Dad, how could you just show other people pictures of me when I was little!"
Uncle Yotsugu chuckled: "What's the big deal? Ye Xiao is your husband, not an outsider."
Looking at Jianzi's adorable appearance, Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Jianzi's shy and angry expression was not bad either.
After a while, Ye Xiao also told Yotsuya Miko what he and Uncle Yotsuya had said.
She stared in disbelief at the dog in front of her, which looked like an evil spirit, and realized it was actually Shibatarou.
"So... has Jianzi prepared the contract?"
"I'm ready."
Yotsuya Miko came to Shibatarou.
He stroked its head.
With the infusion of magic and the unfolding of the magic circle.
"I make a contract with you in the name of Yotsuya Miko. You will become my familiar, my partner, my family. Please respond to my contract, Shibatarou."
Shibatarou didn't say anything, he just kept agreeing.
The two people emitted a bright light and were then enveloped in it.
Shibatarou's figure began to change.
Its originally ugly body began to slowly shrink and transform into the shape of a small dog.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
Mrs. Yotsuya walked in carrying a vegetable basket, and was somewhat bewildered by the light source in the living room, causing the basket to fall to the ground.
Everyone turned around and froze.
I never expected my aunt to come back at this time.
Mrs. Yotsuya was also speechless with shock.
The next second, Yotsuya Miko and Shibatarou, who had just become a familiar, appeared in front of her, looking fresh and lovely.
"Shiba... Shibatarou!?"
"Woof!"
Looking at the familiar puppy, Mrs. Yotsuya called out its name uncertainly, and Shibatarou responded.
"Is it really Shibatarou!?"
Mrs. Yotsuya also rubbed Shibatarou's head in disbelief.
After a while, Mrs. Yotsuya also looked up at Ye Xiao and Jianzi.
"Tell me, what's going on here?"
"Auntie, let's sit down and talk."
Mrs. Yotsuya sat next to Uncle Yotsuya on the sofa. Ye Xiao felt, whether it was his imagination or not, that Mrs. Yotsuya could see him.
After thinking it over, Ye Xiao still felt that the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist should be upheld.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to have kept it from you that I am actually a demon."
As Ye Xiao spoke, he spread his wings, but Mrs. Yotsuya was not surprised. Instead, she looked at the frank Ye Xiao with satisfaction.
"Actually, yesterday Miko and I went home because of Shibataro. I want Shibataro to become Miko's familiar so that he can protect her in the future."
"We're sorry, we didn't mean to hide it."
The scene was somewhat quiet. After a while, Mrs. Yotsuya said...
"I actually know all of this."
"Huh!?"
Yotsuya Miko and Ye Xiao were somewhat shocked by what Mrs. Yotsuya said.
However, Ye Xiao thought again, if her daughter could see it, how could her mother, who had the same eyes, not see it?
Mrs. Yotsuya patted Shibatarou's head and continued.
"It seems that Miko's eyes can see now too."
"Huh!? Could it be that Mom...?"
Hearing her mother's words, Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened in surprise.
Under her shocked gaze, Mrs. Yotsuya continued.
"That's right, Mom, I can see them too, but I can only see shadows. But I also know that Dad, my brother, and Shibatarou are at home, protecting this family."
"And I also learned about the changes in Omiko; Omiko is different from before."
"Mom, aren't you scared?"
Hearing Miko's question, Mrs. Yotsuya stroked the dog and smiled gently.
"Don't be afraid, why should we be afraid? Dad and Shibatarou have always been protecting us."
"Besides, Jianzi is my daughter~ What mother would be afraid of her own child?"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes reddened slightly. She had always thought her mother didn't know these things, but she never expected that her mother actually knew everything.
"As for why Mom knows that Miko and Xiaoxiao are different, it's because Mom has also summoned demons~"
"Huh!?"
Mrs. Yotsuya then talked about many things.
Regarding the visible issues, Mrs. Yotsuya actually has a visible situation.
However, everyone in the family sees things differently.
Mrs. Yotsuya can see souls, but she can only see their outlines, hazy outlines of souls.
The reason why Jianzi and Ye Xiao are different is because their souls have an extra pair of small wings.
As for demons, Mrs. Yotsuya also received a card when she was young. She tried to summon one and received a sweet as a reward after her simple wish was granted.
Ye Xiao and Yotsuya Miko listened silently.
Similarly, Mr. Yotsuya and Kyosuke next to them also placed their hands on their loved ones' (mothers') hands.
This scene was so beautiful in Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
Yes, my family is still here, just accompanying me in a different way.
"Alright, it's getting late. You need to go back to school after lunch."
