Shiro stretched, then left. After all, he had already indulged and had his fun. However, just then, a thought flashed through his mind and he realized that he had forgotten something again.
Shiro directly gave her the hotel address, saying that they would meet tomorrow evening.
Then he threw the phone into his spatial storage, too lazy to look at it.
.....
"Lala, don't be picky with your food."
Shiro looked at the things she had picked out and felt very helpless.
However, she immediately made a pitiful expression, looking at Shiro.
"Shiro..."
Shiro sighed as he looked at her. He picked out all the precious things she had chosen and ate them. The man across the street felt helpless watching this scene. Had he spoiled her too much?
"Shiro, you're the best."
"Onii-chan, aren't you spoiling her a bit too much?"
At this moment, Mikan looked at Shiro expressionlessly and couldn't help but complain.
"Not really, right? It's just a small thing."
"When you two used to be picky eaters, wasn't I usually the one who finished what you didn't want to eat?"
As soon as Shiro said that, the two of them thought about it and realized that it was actually true! Immediately, they began to quickly eat their rice.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Shiro sat on the sofa, drinking a carbonated beverage, looking quite relaxed.
Just then, someone came to his house. He paused for a moment, and then he knew who it was.
"Zastin, what's up so late at night?"
Shiro didn't bother to make tea or anything like that. He directly created a bottle of ice-cold carbonated drink and threw it to him.
"Thanks, brother-in-law."
Zastin took a sip, then after a moment, spoke.
"Brother-in-law, I came to warn you. You need to be careful. I received information that an assassin named Golden Darkness will arrive here soon."
"Her target might be you."
Shiro nodded when he heard that.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"And let me guess, it's probably Lala's admirers again, wanting to hire someone to kill me. Honestly, do all these guys have some kind of delusion? Am I that easy to kill?"
Zastin also nodded seriously when he heard that. He didn't think anyone could threaten Shiro.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not worried about your safety. I want to remind you that since the opponent is an assassin, they might target the people around you, so I hope you'll take extra precautions."
Zastin expressed his concerns and purpose. After all, if they couldn't deal with Shiro, couldn't they deal with the people around him?
Shiro looked at his sincere expression and nodded, accepting the reminder.
"Don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen. I've already prepared everything."
"After all, I've already set a rule: everything comes to me; no one around me is allowed to be hurt."
Zastin also knew some of Shiro's abilities and was aware that one of his abilities of setting rules was simply abnormally powerful.
Then Shiro and Lala also chatted with him.
As time passed, Shiro suddenly spoke.
"By the way, when is your king coming, Lala's father?"
Hearing that, Lala tilted her head and spoke with a sweet, innocent expression.
"Shiro, do you want to see my father?"
"Emmm... After all, I suddenly took you away, so I should properly receive your father."
Shiro looked sincere as he said this, but a certain guard captain who knew the truth always had the feeling that his brother-in-law actually wanted to beat up his king.
According to the saying on this planet, indeed, father-in-law and son-in-law are naturally in conflict.
Zastin indicated that this was a family matter, so he decisively chose to just watch from the side.
"It will take the king a bit more time to arrive."
Shiro felt a bit of regret about that; he couldn't beat him up immediately.
When it was time to sleep at night, he originally wanted to go collect a debt from a certain little prophetess, but for some reason, he had a feeling that something might happen tonight. Thinking about it, he trusted his strength and intuition and decisively went to sleep alone in his room. Only at three in the morning did he suddenly open his eyes, with a hint of killing intent in them. The next moment, he disappeared from his room. Meanwhile, Lala, who had snuck in again, noticed nothing and was still sleeping peacefully.
At this moment, it was three in the morning, and the dark streets were illuminated only by a few street lamps.
A young girl was walking down the street in casual clothes. However, as she walked, she was suddenly stopped by a tall, masked woman.
Why a woman? Because her figure clearly showed it. Her clothing was somewhat strange: a large coat, a mask, a hat, and a scarf. No matter how you looked at it, this was not a normal person, and she blocked her path.
Kawasaki Saki panicked at this moment. Had she run into something she shouldn't have?
Just yesterday, she had encountered some strange things and had already decided to quit. Now, returning early in the morning, she was running into another eerie situation.
Honestly, to say she wasn't afraid would definitely be a lie.
Just as she wanted to move away from this person and try to go around her, every step she took, the other person followed. At this moment, she confirmed that this person was indeed targeting her. Thinking about it, she immediately felt terrified.
After all, if she was the target, she had no way to deal with the problem in front of her.
Of course, the girl in front of her did not give up and still wanted to fight. She decisively turned around and ran, but unknowingly, she was cornered by the other person.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Kawasaki Saki was trembling at this moment. Uh, she reached into her bag and felt her phone, thinking of trying to use it to see if she could make an emergency call. Just then, she heard the voice of the other person.
"Pretty?"
At this moment, the tall figure spoke in a hoarse voice, giving a very strange, very unusual feeling.
Kawasaki Saki did not dare to answer or move for a moment, but the other party persistently continued to ask. After asking several times and seeing no reaction, she forcibly grabbed her by the shoulder.
Kawasaki Saki had to feel pain at this moment, because the grip was so strong that it felt like her shoulder would be pierced.
"Why aren't you answering me?"
"Do you find me ugly?"
The other party seemed to suddenly twist space and time, making the young girl feel fear. At that moment, the other party let her go, and then lowered the mask. Immediately, she saw the slits on both sides of her mouth, like cracks.
Kawasaki Saki's first reaction when she saw it was: 'Why is this so similar to the Slit-Mouthed Woman?' Her second reaction was: 'Did I really run into one?'
Then, when the other party spoke, her small mouth immediately pulled the slits on both sides, opening them wide.
Her mouth became incredibly large, opening very, very wide on both sides, and blood still clung to them like stretched silk.
This scene was incredibly terrifying. In any case, Kawasaki Saki was already frightened.
And when the other party spoke, her eyes changed, full of savagery, making people feel great fear.
Moreover, this look combined with that hoarse laughter made the scene instantly extremely eerie.
"Now, do you think I'm pretty?"
At this moment, the other party once again asked the deadly question. Recalling various ghost stories she had heard, she realized that whether she said pretty or not pretty, she would still die. She immediately became terrified.
At that, the other party opened her bloody mouth and approached her. At that moment, she couldn't help but close her eyes. Many things passed through her mind, including her parents and younger siblings. At the same time, one thought came to her mind.
