Otherwise, you'll be subjected to the "cruel punishment" mentioned in the log!
"By the way, how cruel is the punishment?"
Akemi was really curious, since everyone had benefited from the log since it was obtained.
Like when she and her sister met Xia Ye, escaped from the organization, reunited with their mother's family, and gained so many friends and a stable life.
I never expected the word "punishment" to appear in the log!
"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Shiho casually flipped through her journal and began to make a wish:
"I want the extraction machine in the lab to increase the purification rate tenfold!!"
"Give me a reward first!"
Tomoko Suzuki built a laboratory for Shiho, filled with the most advanced and cutting-edge equipment.
The family includes Elena, the head of the "Silver Bullet" project, and Shiho, the head of the "APTX4869" project.
These are two top scientists.
It would be a waste not to do some research!
Their current project is a youth-preserving pill—
Natsume got two of them. She gave one to Suzuki Tomoko, and kept the other one to see if she could replicate it, so she gave it to Shiho.
[Wish complete. Rewards have been issued for using the Wish First Enjoyment feature. Task: *******, please complete within three days. Penalty for failure: ******]
Mingmei peeked out and saw that the mission was fairly normal; it mainly involved her being intimate and affectionate with Xia Ye.
The logbook has been going out of its way to give Xia Ye perks since it first appeared, and logbook holders are already used to it.
But that punishment—
Isn't that a bit too perverted?
I wonder if Yukiko ever did that?
Mingmei turned her beautiful eyes and looked at her younger sister with a smile.
"Shiho, why don't you deliberately fail the mission and experience what it feels like to be cruelly punished?"
"Anyway, you and Xia Ye have been a couple for so long, so it's okay if you have some fun!"
"Pooh!"
Shiho blushed and reached out to scratch her older sister.
"Go experience it for yourself!"
"I'm not that shameless!"
"It's just licking—"
Mingmei was about to make a flirtatious remark.
Her younger sister violently covered her mouth.
Then the two sisters started playing around on the sofa.
Because of their recent exercise, both of them were dressed lightly, making the living room instantly a scene of alluring beauty.
"You two, stop fooling around!"
Elena floated over carrying a tray of freshly brewed tea.
Now, apart from being a little cold, her body is almost the same as that of an ordinary person, and she has no problem walking on the ground.
She had simply gotten used to drifting around.
When I go out to play with my daughter and friends, I can walk around on the ground, but at home, floating around and taking shortcuts through walls are already basic operations.
"You didn't even bother to put your clothes on!"
"In broad daylight!"
"Mom, aren't you the same!"
Shiho and Akemi said in unison. The two sisters looked at their mother speechlessly. She was criticizing others, but she was no different herself!
"I'm not human~"
Elena spoke with complete confidence in front of her two daughters.
"I'm just a ghost, I don't have the human sense of propriety and shame, so naturally I don't need to care about any ladylike image. You two are different, as humans, you should still be more mindful!"
"..."
Shiho and Akemi were speechless.
Although Mom's words were somewhat hypocritical, they were basically correct.
After my mother became a ghost, her values and beliefs were no longer aligned with those of humans.
Human ethics, morality, and the concepts of propriety and shame have no binding force on her.
She's not exactly indulging yet; she's just using the behaviors from her memories to restrain herself.
"Have some tea to rehydrate!"
Elena placed the tea tray she was holding on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and two cups of brewed tea magically flew up and appeared in front of her two daughters.
Shiho and Akemi took the teacups, exchanged a glance, and their pretty faces showed a hint of helplessness.
Why does it feel like my mom is always making suggestive remarks when she talks?
My mother used to be a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and pure aura!
Damn Natsuba!
...
The mother and her two daughters were enjoying a cozy morning tea after their workout.
Osaka, the Kazuha family.
A quaint and exquisite Japanese-style room.
Kazuha looked at her mother lying on the tatami mat, her beautiful eyes filled with worry: "Mom, how are you feeling? Should we go to the hospital right away?"
"I don't want to go to the hospital!"
Yuanshan Lingye wrapped herself in the blanket, making muffled sounds, and looked like a child.
"But--"
Kazuha knows why her mother hates going to the hospital.
That was a lingering effect from when she was born, so she wouldn't mention the hospital to her mother unless absolutely necessary.
However, given today's situation...
Dad went to the police station early this morning to work on a murder case with Heiji's dad. Mom is in a lot of pain, and if she doesn't go to the hospital—
Oh, that’s right!
Xia Ye has that Crane Needle, doesn't she?
Mom should be fine after a few injections!
only--
He took out his phone, but quickly put it down again.
From yesterday to today, news of the Tokyo terrorist attack has been everywhere on television and the internet.
As a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department and a member of the Black Organization, Xia Ye should be very busy. Would it be inappropriate to call him now and bother him?
at this time--
Kazuha heard the log update.
Make a wish and enjoy it first?
Get the reward first, then do the task?
Is this update because of me?
This thought suddenly popped into Kazuha's mind.
It's not her fault; she just happened to need it, so the log was updated with a new feature. How could she not overthink it?
Kazuha sighed. She already couldn't control her desire to make wishes, and now there was this "make a wish and enjoy the reward first" offer. It was like a blatant temptation that she couldn't resist at all!
"I wish that Mom's illness would get better soon!"
"I want to enjoy it first by making a wish!"
[Wish successful! Enjoy the rewards now! Wish task: Formally confess your feelings to Xia Ye. Please complete this within three days. Penalty for failure: Yuan Shan Ling Ye's feelings will change to Xia Ye.]
"abnormal!"
Kazuha was already mentally prepared for the wishing task, since the previous tasks were all related to Natsume, and the people who made the wishes always had to give Natsume some benefits. But what was with that penalty for failure?!
Although it was said in a somewhat veiled way.
But isn't it just about making Mom fall in love with Xia Ye?
This is too scary!
What a cruel punishment!
No!
I must complete the wish-granting task within three days and confess my feelings to Xia Ye, otherwise—
Thinking about the consequences of her mother falling in love with Xia Ye.
Kazuha shuddered.
I don't want our family to become like Xiaolan's family!
But, how to do it?
Confessing to Xia Ye is easy; I've long expected this day to come. But how can I avoid arousing Xia Ye's suspicion?
"He Ye?"
Toyama Ryūha sat up from the tatami in surprise.
She felt all the pain and weakness in her body disappear.
She's in amazing shape right now!
"How is this going?"
"Well, I made a wish to the gods, and perhaps the gods heard my wish!"
Kazuha told a white lie.
However, for her, there was nothing wrong with the log being a deity.
After all, even when making a wish to a real god, you have to offer many sacrifices, and there's a high chance it won't come true.
· ····Requesting flowers··· ······
Unlike a logbook, although the price to pay for making a wish is a bit unconventional, the reward for making a wish is real and guaranteed to come true, without any discount!
"A god? Which god?"
As a native of Osaka, Toyama Hishiyo still believes in things related to gods and ghosts.
Moreover, she was clearly in excruciating pain just now, yet she recovered instantly, which made it even more unbelievable to her!
"Ah this..."
Kazuha was just making things up, but her mother suddenly became interested and couldn't come up with anything for a moment.
"It's a deity that my friend in Tokyo mentioned to me over a while, but I don't remember the name!"
"You girl!"
Yuanshan Lingye gently tapped her daughter's forehead and chuckled as she scolded:
"You dare to make wishes without knowing the names of the gods? Aren't you afraid of being punished by them?"
