Simple Life of Killing Demons_V6C4 Part 2

So, shes got a housekeeper and a bodyguard? It looks like that Kamiki had always been protected. With the incident of last time, I think they would be more careful. Not sure if theyd already caught the person hiring Wild Wolf.

"Young Master, who are they actually?" Uncle Sunao kept staring at the car driving away.

"Huh? Theyre my classmates, and were very close.

"Really? Okay, Ive got it. Suehiro, then Young Master back home then.

"Yes, father."

"Suehiro, you seem to be very afraid of uncle Sunao." On the crowded street, I asked sister Suehiro next to me.

"Yes." She had a calm expression and her eyes kept looking forward.

"Why are you so scared of him? Did he hit you before?

"No, not at all."

"Then why are you so obedient? I feel like you cant say no to anything in front of him.

"Actually, its not that Im afraid of my father, but its more an act of respect. He raised me up under a lot of difficulties. And hed also traded hard work to our pleasant living environment now. He taught me how to protect myself. Ill listen to whatever he says and I wont have any complaints.

I seethen how about your mother? Are you also obedient to her? Once I asked, Suehiro stopped and she looked somewhat blank. After a while, she looked at me coldly and said, dont ever mention that woman again. Then, she continued walking forward.

Eh? What now? Did I say something wrong?

Seeing sister Suehiros tall and elegant figure, I was wondering whether Id done anything wrong.

Silly, youre a real fool. Under such circumstances, you usually dont ask what youve done wrong, you shouldve asked what had happened.

Arent they the same?

My God. If you asked what had happened, it means you wanted to know what had happened on Suehiro. And why would she get upset when you mentioned her mother. Also, do you remember the bastard that she once talked about?

The boys that I hate are exactly like that bastard.

I suddenly recalled what sister Suehiro had said.

At that time, I was still wondering who that bastard was. Now, I was sure that theres something happening to her family. I had to ask her when I had a chance.

As Ive said something that I shouldnt have, Suehiro had kept silent all along. I also stopped talking and the atmosphere was plain and dull. Fortunately, her home wasnt so far away. After about ten minutes, we stopped in front of a courtyard of a big house.

On the door plaque of the front yard, I saw the words Suehiro sect, and there was a white wall around it. There was a big tree behind the wall. I couldn't whats inside, until Suehiro opened the door.

The front yard was planted with piles of flowers and plants. A stone-paved road in front of the door was diverged into two. One was a wooden door that was extended to ten meters away, and the other was extended to a place looking like a warehouse. I knew that its the arena to practice sword.

"Young Master, this is my home." After opening the door, Suehiro invited us in, oh I stepped inside.

"Here." Suehiro closed the door and walked along the stone road towards the wooden door.

"K~k~k~" Sister Suehiro knocked on the door and said, please wait for a moment here.

Not long after, I heard a clear voice inside, whos this?

Choshi, its me. Suehiro answered.

Oh, sister, youre here. The door was opened the next second. I saw a girl with pale skin, bright eyes and bangs.

We looked at each other for a while. The girl suddenly yelled and quickly shut the door.

Ughwhat is this? I was speechless towards her reaction. Was I that scary looking?

My sister is rather shy and shes scared to see strangers. SoYoung Master, please dont mind. Choshi, open the door, what are you doing inside? Suehiro hit on the wooden door.

Isistertheres someone outside. Choshi said weakly.

"Of course, I know about this, please open the door and let us in.

"No way, sister, I'm scared.

"Sigh Suehiro sighed, you just need to unlock the door, then well enter after you enter your bedroom. Okay?

Ok, lets do it like this. But you have to wait until I enter my bedroom.

Dont worry. After Suehiro said so, the door was opened.

Dont push open it, Ill enter my bedroom now.

Um, you have to be quick. Young Master, Im really sorry, my sister

Its okay, its okay. It looks like that Suehiros sister was a real introvert.

After about five seconds, there was a faint sound coming from inside, Im okay now, sister, please come in.

Then, Young Master, please get in. Suehiro asked me to enter.

The entrance of Suehiros house was no different than other people. The only difference was that there was a basket on both sides of the entrance and there were wooden swords for practice inside.

-In the living room.

The living room was not decorated. It was simple. There were a few pots of plants, a large, low table and a few cushions.

After Suehiro asked me to sit down, she walked across to me, sat down on her knees, and made tea without saying a word. In order not to disturb her, I didnt say anything, I only watched her making tea skillfully.

In the silent room, there was only the sound of her making tea and the sound of the ticking clock.

"Young Master, please have some tea." Suehiro handed me a cup of tea that she had just brewed.

"Thank you." I reached out to pick up the teacup and inadvertently touched Suehiros fingers.

"Ah, Im sorry." I quickly took the teacup and apologized.

"It's okay." Suehiro poured herself a cup of tea, her facial expression didnt change.

If I touched Reidy like this, she would definitely see me as taking advantage of her. Shes truly a samurai and she didnt care about these things at all.

"Before my father comes back, please wait here, Young Master." Suehiro looked at the old pendulum clock.

"Oh, okay, but can I make a phone call?" I had to call home and tell Silent Water that I wasnt returning home for dinner. Otherwise, they would surely wait until I did.

"Yes, please follow me, Young Master." Suehiro stood up and led me out of the corridor. After a corner, I saw the fixed phone on the table.

I picked up the phone, Suehiro took a few steps back and looked at me from a distance. It seemed that she didn't want to eavesdrop on my call.

I dialed the number of my home, and soon there was a beep.

"Hello, whos this?" It was Reidy answering the phone, with a very unfriendly tone.

"UhLin Xiang." I reported my name.

"Oh, human, why haven't you come back now? The sun is set."

"I have something to do, and Im now at my classmate's house."

"Is it a guy or a girl?"

"Uhits a girl. I answered with a bit of guilt.

"What!? A girl? What are you doing at her house?" Reidys questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Remember the sword from yesterday? I am here to return the sword to her. In order to pay me back, she has invited me to have dinner with her.

Oh, really? Whatever then. By the way, what have you hidden in your bedroom actually? How come Dusty keeps bringing snacks upstairs?

Ughitd be better that you dont know.

Huh! If I dont have to listen to Silent Water, I wouldve checked it out long time ago.

What did Silent Water tell you? At this time, I thought of Silent Waters intermittent whispers the previous night.

II am not going to tell you. Ive gotta go now, just come back earlier! du du du du After Reidy said so, she hung up.
