"Manaka-kun, please don't be polite." In the living room, Chishima Minori warmly entertained the guests who came to the door. She was much more sincere than her previous polite attitude.

Li Xuehao was sitting on the tatami with a cup of steaming black tea in his hands. The low table in front of him was filled with various pastries.

The second daughter-in-law of the Chishima family, Kiko Chishima, and the third daughter-in-law, Shumi Chishima, were accompanying her. The eldest daughter-in-law, Kuro Chishima, was still making other pastries in the kitchen.

Saeko Chishima was also sitting next to her. Her face, which had been pale while lying on the bed, had also regained a little rosiness. Although she still looked a little unhealthy, she was in good spirits.

The little girl was wearing a cute bear pajamas, with her long black hair draped softly on her shoulders. She seemed to be very afraid of strangers. She never dared to look at strangers when they were around, and huddled next to her mother Chishima Sumi.

Technically speaking, Neko Nanako is also a guest, but because of her close relationship with the Chishima family, she naturally has the status of half owner.

"Saeko, thank you big brother." Chishima Shumi stroked her daughter's head. She had long since lost her previous bad impression of the boy who woke her daughter up, and what was left was gratitude and guilt.

Saeko Chishima was very shy. She glanced in a certain direction with a blushing face, then immediately retracted her eyes. Her voice was so low that no one could hear her: "Brother, thank you..." Maybe she was too shy.

After saying that, he shrank into his mother's arms and never dared to look up again.

Li Xuehao smiled and said nothing, and looked calmly at Qiandao Saya who was standing aside. Her expression was very pleased, and she seemed to be very happy to see this happy and warm scene.

Li Xuehao couldn't help but think of what she had just promised her. In fact, with her "fierce" level, she could have materialized it for people to see. But she obviously did not estimate her own strength, and she had not even practiced seriously before. After all, she

He relies on a certain "artifact" to increase his strength, so he doesn't even know how to use some "scary" tricks.

Li Xuehao had no interest in the so-called "artifact". He was thinking about how to let Minori Chishima see her mother Saya Chishima without alerting others.

For him, it is really simple to let an ordinary person see the spirit body. Just "open the eyes of the sky", but without disturbing others, he can only let Minori Chishima see Saya Chishima alone, so that's it.

To have the opportunity to be alone with Chishima Minori, this is the biggest problem.

Of course, it is a problem for him, but it is not so difficult for Nanako, a half-master.

Li Xuehao winked at the listening cat Nanako, believing that with her intelligence, she would be able to understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Neko Nanako nodded inconspicuously, and after finishing a pastry in her hand, she said to Chishima Minori in a slightly coquettish tone: "Grandma Minori, I remember that you have a collection of clay artist Mr. Chinen.

Can you let me see the national treasure works of the century? Also, Koji also likes clay works and wants to appreciate them."

Although it was a bit inappropriate and not very polite to say this in this atmosphere, when Chishima Minori heard that it was a young boy who was kind to his family and wanted to watch it, he naturally would not refuse and said with a smile: "Today's young people have already

I rarely like these anymore. It’s my honor that you want to see my collection of works.”

With that said, she stood up and led the way. Li Xuehao and Tingmao Nanako, who stood up, followed behind.

The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law of the Chishima family did not follow them. They stayed in the living room. Although Saeko Chishima was still huddled in her mother's arms, her eyes were staring at the retreating figure, her eyes flickering slightly.

At this time, her face didn't look shy at all, and even had a hint of playfulness and ridicule.

Following Chishima Minori, Li Xuehao and Tingmao Nanako came to a room similar to a warehouse. Although the environment was a bit crude, it was very clean. It would not be an exaggeration to say it was spotless. Apparently someone cleaned the place every day.

After Chishima Minori entered, she was about to take out her collection when Cat Nanako looked at someone and stopped her at the right time: "Grandma Minori, please wait a moment."

"What?" Chishima Minori stopped and turned to look at the two of them.

"Grandma Minori, we have something very important for you to know." No one else was present, so Neko Nanako went straight to the point. When she said this, she glanced and followed the three people who floated in and stood there.

Thousand Island Saya on the side.

Minori Chishima couldn't see Saya Chishima, but hearing Neko Nanako's serious tone made her realize that the two of them were not here to see her collection, but were using this excuse to tell her something that might be inconvenient in a few places.

What he said in front of his daughter-in-law.

"Nanako, tell me."

"Grandma Minori, do you still remember the black and white photo I just saw in the living room?" It was obvious that Neko Nanako had already planned a speech and was just organizing it at the moment.

Li Xuehao stood aside without saying anything, listening to her performance.

Chishima Minori frowned slightly and said, "I remember, Nanako, the person in the photo is my mother." She didn't understand what the relationship with this mother's photo was.

Listen to Neko Nanako continue: "Actually, Koji and I came to visit this time because we were entrusted by someone..."

"Huh?" Minori Chishima couldn't help but be startled, being entrusted by someone?

"This person is Saya Chishima in the photo...grandma, who is Grandma Minori's mother." Neko Nanako's tone sounded a little strange, and even she herself found it convoluted and unbelievable.

"Mom..." Chishima Minori frowned even more. Her mother passed away due to an accident when she was five years old. It has been more than half a century. How could she still entrust others to her? "Nanako, I

I hope you won’t say such things again in the future, and I can pretend I didn’t hear you this time.”

Although she had almost forgotten what her mother looked like because so much time had passed, she would never allow others to make fun of her mother easily.

Cat Nanako also knew that such unbelievable words were hard to believe, so she slightly glared at the person next to her who was "watching the show", meaning that now it's your turn to take action.

Li Xuehao coughed, looked at Minori Chishima and said: "Ms. Chishima, I heard that Senior Cat did not deceive you. It was indeed Ms. Chishima Saya who asked us to come, and it was she who told us about Saeko's situation."

Even her benefactor said such a thing. Chishima Minori was slightly angry, but she didn't show it. How could she believe such a ridiculous thing? But her face stiffened: "Manaka-kun, you can

Can you give me an explanation?" It means asking why you have to make up such an impossible reason.

"Ms. Qiandao, no matter what I say now, you won't believe it, so I have to ask you to see it with your own eyes. I hope you won't be too surprised." Li Xuehao raised his right hand and looked at her eyes softly.

At one point, a faint spiritual energy shot out from her fingertips and then divided into two parts and penetrated into her eyes.

Chishima Minori felt her eyes itching and couldn't help but rub her eyes. When she opened them, her eyes widened instantly because she saw that there was an outsider in the room.

It was a woman wearing a red OL skirt. She was very beautiful and looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

"Who are you?" she asked with a trembling voice.

"Minori." Seeing Chishima Minori pointing at her, Chishima Saya was very excited, because it meant that her daughter could already see her.

"You are, you are..." After hearing the name "Minori" that was so long ago that it was almost forgotten, Chishima Minori seemed to realize something, but she couldn't believe it was true.

Saya Qiandao knew that everything she said was redundant. When her body swayed, she saw that the fashionable skirt she was wearing suddenly turned into a simple outfit full of the atmosphere of the 1930s and 1940s. The hairstyle on her head also changed.

Just like a woman who came out of that era.

Seeing this astonishing scene happening right in front of her eyes, Chishima Minori's body shook violently, and her voice became even more trembling: "Mom, mom?" She finally knew why she felt familiar, because the woman in front of her was the same as in the black and white photo.

His mother was exactly the same. She ran over subconsciously and excitedly, wanting to hug this figure that only appeared in her sleep, but the hug was empty and her hands passed through her body.

"Why, why?" Minori Chishima burst into tears.

"Because I'm dead, Minori, but you don't have to be too sad, because I've always been by your side to accompany you." Chishima Saya also wanted to hug her daughter, but she didn't know how to use her own strength at all, so she caught her too.

A Kong said with sadness.

"Mom, Mom, I miss you so much..." Minori Chishima is no longer the woman in her fifties who is the head of the family, but just a little girl in need of maternal love.

"President Tingmao, it's time for us to leave." Next to him, Li Xuehao patted Nanako Tingmao, who was secretly wiping the corners of her eyes. The scene where the two mother and daughter met sadly was really not suitable for the presence of outsiders.

"Yeah." Cat Nanako nodded, followed him out of the room, and closed the door.

The two of them did not go back to the living room, but walked to the door in tacit agreement and opened the door.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." The voices of apology sounded in unison outside. It was an apology that was uttered out of nervousness when they were about to do something but were suddenly frightened.

Li Xuehao looked closely and saw a pair of twin little girls standing outside the door. In addition to looking exactly the same, the two little girls were also wearing the same elementary school uniform, a dark blue suit and a skirt that reached to the knees, showing the same slender and round body.

of calves.

Both of them have long hair, one has long hair shawl, and the other has a ponytail tied sideways to his left ear, giving off a playful flavor, but both are equally delicate and cute.
