My daily life of cultivating immortals and removing spirits in Chiba

"Oh haha...Nanako is back again? Is there anything unfamiliar about the Water Candle Festival?"

Asama Ha's grandfather "Asama Shin"'s laughing voice came from the living room.

It can be heard from the voice that "Asama Shin" is very fond of the girl Nanako Aihara.

As the sound came out, Asama Nobu quickly walked out of the living room.

Asama Nobu is over sixty years old, with gray beard and hair, but his body is still strong, his back is straight, and he is wearing a gray yukata.

Asamaha looked at the old man, memories of the past came back to him, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Although in his memory, this old man never liked himself very much.

In fact, as a grandfather, he still fulfilled his responsibility to take care of himself when he was a child.

From this aspect, Asamaha has nothing to blame him for.

But if it weren't for the old man in front of me, my mother probably wouldn't have died so early...

Ever since he was born, his mother has always been at odds with the old man.

The main reason is because of this stubborn old man's opinion.

If Asamaha's mother had listened to him and married the person he chose, she wouldn't be living in such a mess now...

Then, he kept "scolding" Asamaha's mother from time to time for "bringing up old things"...

Asamaha's mother obviously couldn't stand this.

Asamaha was left here when she was a child, and she went out to work alone in the city.

Later, after Asamaha's mother gained some experience working outside, after Asamaha graduated from elementary school, she took her directly from here to go to junior high school.

From then on, there was basically no contact between the two parties.

Later, his mother became seriously ill and died due to overwork and worries.

In the past, he actually disliked this "old man".

But later, at my mother's funeral, I saw the desolate and sad back of this always stubborn old man.

He was relieved...

Perhaps everyone was at fault for this outcome, including his mother.

But everyone among them definitely did not expect and definitely did not want such a result.

Thinking of this, Asama Yu also smiled and shouted softly to the old man in front of him.

"Grandpa, I'm back..."

Asama Nobu looked at the young man in front of him, his slightly cloudy eyes, and he was also a little startled.

However, after hearing the young man's gentle cry.

The face that had always been stubborn and serious in Asamaha's eyes also showed a smile as if the ice melted away, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with tears as he spoke.

"I'm back...I've grown up...good...good..."

Just like Asamaha was relieved.

After experiencing the grief of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, Asama's obsession with the past became less important.

"Xiaoyu and this sister haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll go to the kitchen to cook. Xiaoyu, you and Grandpa Xin can chat here."

Aihara Nanako's crystal clear eyes looked at the touching meeting between Asamaha and her grandson after a long time, and she thought about it and said softly.

As an outsider who came to visit, Ichinose Tori naturally knew that it was not appropriate for her to be present at the next time.

After understanding the atmosphere, she also spoke to Nanako Aihara.

"I'll go to the kitchen and help you too."

With that said, the two women walked towards the kitchen, leaving Asama Nobu and Asama Ha alone.

And an atmosphere of silence fell between the two of them.

Asamaha looked at his grandfather. He obviously wanted to take the initiative to speak to break the silence, but he didn't seem to know what to say.

Seeing this, Asama Yu also smiled and took the initiative to break the silence and spoke.

"Grandpa, long time no see. I plan to stay here for a few days during this holiday. Is my room still available at home?"

Asamaha said that, she also walked into the main hall with steps.

Although I have left here for three years, I still stayed here for such a long time when I was a child.

As he returned here again, the memories of the past also emerged. All the past events were vividly visible to him, and it seemed very natural to him now.

After looking at Asama Yu's appearance, Asama Shina also relaxed a lot.

Asamaha entered the main hall, directly found a seat, and sat down.

"Of course your room is still vacant. I've always kept it...and besides you and Nanazi who occasionally comes to see me, there is no one else in this house now..."

There was a hint of sadness in Asama's voice.

Asama Nobu's wife, Asama Ha's grandmother, also died of illness five years ago.

And his daughter passed away forever because of his fault.

Now, apart from Asama Ha, he is the only one left in this huge house.

"It has happened, grandpa, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't been selfish at that time... Kanae wouldn't have done it in the end..."

The stubborn old man shed tears from the corners of his eyes full of remorse.

Or because of self-blame, he started talking about what happened back then.

…………

at dusk. The farmland in the countryside looks particularly peaceful in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Walking along the path, there is soft soil under your feet, and bugs jump over your toes from time to time.

"What's wrong? From the beginning to now, the kid has been frowning and not saying a word."

"Are you feeling sorry that your lovely childhood sweetheart is not with you?"

Ichinose Tori looked at Asama Ha next to her and said very dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Asamaha also came back from his original state of thinking, and then looked at Ichinose Moori beside him, with a faint smile on his lips.

Although Ichinose Tori said that she just stopped by to sit here at noon.

But at night, she told Asamaha that she suddenly received a phone call.

Then she said that her parents were traveling and she didn't have a key when she returned home, so she needed to stay here for a few days.

She used such a clumsy excuse, and Asama Yu didn't even bother to expose her excuse, so she just lived in Asama's house openly.

As for Asama House, apart from its large space, there is nothing interesting about it.

Therefore, under the hint of Ichinose Momori, Asamaha also took her for a walk on the country trails around Shirano Town, and the two of them went together.

However, although it is said to be a walk.

But he remembered the "old stories" his grandfather told him in the afternoon.

Asamaha just fell into a deep state of thought, completely forgetting that there was Ichinose Momori next to her.

Immediately, Asamaha also gently squeezed the soft and delicate little hand in the palm and spoke softly.

"Taori, you should also know that I don't think so."

"Hmph! Who knows, after all, she is your childhood sweetheart who has been with you for so many years, and she is still young and cute."

"Moori, you are very cute too." Asamaha responded with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Ichinose Tori did not feel happy at all, but frowned and said.

"Then you mean I'm not young!"

"..."

Asamaha was speechless.

Seeing Asamaha's appearance, Ichinose Momo couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Then she raised her head and looked at the remaining ray of sunset on the horizon, and asked casually.

"So, kid, you were frowning just now. What were you thinking about?"

After hearing what Ichinose Tori said, Asamaha's dark eyes looked at the woman beside him, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

Asamaha discovered that although Ichinose Tori has passed the age of "tsundere".

But in fact, it still has some "tsundere" attributes.

Ichinose Tori clearly saw that Asamaha had something on her mind from the very beginning.

She wanted to share it with Asamaha.

But she would not directly ask Asama Yu what he was thinking about when he kept frowning.

Because she felt that asking like this might make Asamaha feel that she cared about him.

Therefore, she would first use the topic "Did Asamaha just think about another woman?", and then bring out the real purpose, pretending not to care and ask Asamaha what exactly she was thinking about.

Although Asama Ha was clear about Ichinose Momori's thoughts, he still pretended not to know and sighed softly.

"I just didn't expect that my life experience is a little more complicated than I imagined..."

"Huh? It's complicated? Is your family some kind of secret thousand-year-old ancient clan?" Hearing this, Ichinose Tori was shocked for a moment, and then her imagination opened up.

Originally, in the eyes of Ichinose Tori, Asamaha was a mage who could use spells to slay demons.

His family background must be mysterious and special.

However, for now, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly strange about Heyue House except that it is slightly larger.

"How is that possible! This is not Shounen Wang Dao Man, you are the hero of my comic!"

Hearing this, Asamaha complained to Ichinose Tori.

"What on earth is that?" Ichinose Tori stopped, turned around and looked at Asamaha and continued to ask curiously.

"Actually, my father is actually a Chinese."

"But he has disappeared since I was born, and my mother rarely mentioned my father, so I didn't know this before."

"In addition, regarding my father, I originally thought that he abandoned me and my mother, but from the news I heard from my grandfather this afternoon, it doesn't seem to be the case..."

Asamaha also stopped and looked at Ichinose Momori as she slowly replied.

The news he heard from his grandfather this afternoon was completely different from the information he knew before.

At that time, Asama Shin wanted his daughter to marry a priest of a shrine.

But because of an accident, my daughter met a Chinese man and quickly fell in love.

Later, his mother had just confirmed the news of pregnancy and had not yet told her father.

At that time, my father seemed to need to return to the country immediately due to something very sudden.

However, mobile phones were not in circulation at that time, and there was no way to notify Asamaha's mother immediately.

Therefore, his father left quickly after leaving the letter.

However, this letter was not received by his mother at that time.

But by chance, "Asama Shin" at the time got it in his hands immediately. (End of chapter)
