Sayu finally understood what Amamiya Natsuki wanted to do, and immediately became nervous, whispering:
"Father, don't be impulsive."
"I'm not impulsive," Amamiya Natsuki's tone was calm, "I just think that those who do evil should be punished, not stand by and continue to harm others. That's all."
"But..."
Sayu bit her lips, still wanting to speak.
Amamiya Natsuki interrupted: "Marin is here."
"..."
The rest of the time was still spent eating, drinking, playing, and taking photos. In the evening, led by Sayu, they went to a famous specialty restaurant, which was a huge treat.
It was now nine o'clock in the evening.
Amamiya Natsuki and the others returned to Yuuko's house.
"Come in, come in!" Yuuko's mother, full of anticipation, invited them into the house.
Yuuko's father was a slightly balding middle-aged man, and his gaze towards Amamiya Natsuki and the others was full of suspicion, clearly taking them for con artists trying to scam money.
"You all sit down, I'll go make some tea..."
Yuuko's mother observed the etiquette of hospitality.
"No need," Sayu shook her head and said softly, "Uncle probably wants to see Yuuko-chan early too, let's go straight to the room."
Upon arriving in the room.
Amamiya Natsuki and the two girls began their spiritual communication, just like in the daytime.
As it seemed, the success rate of the spiritual communication skill was not low, succeeding once every three or four tries.
A moment later.
This time, Miss Nakajima successfully summoned the Female Ghost.
"I have fulfilled my mission."
Amamiya Natsuki took out two bottles of Witch Potion.
The moment she saw the potion, Yuuko's mother's eyes welled up. Without a word, she took the potion and drank it in one gulp.
The middle-aged man didn't have time to stop her, frowning and saying in a low voice:
"This kind of unknown substance..."
Yuuko's mother, her eyes red, interrupted: "I drank it this afternoon, and nothing happened."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at Amamiya Natsuki with a wary gaze.
Hey, hey, what kind of look is that?
Amamiya Natsuki was speechless.
Marin and Sayu, which one of them isn't younger and prettier than your wife? Who would be interested in her!
His current identity was that of a spiritual medium, not a bald monk who performed physical exorcisms!
"Drink it quickly," without Amamiya Natsuki needing to say anything, Yuuko's mother was already in tears, "You can see Yuuko if you drink it."
"You..."
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly and drank the potion.
What happened next goes without saying.
After drinking the potion and seeing the Female Ghost Yuuko, the middle-aged man's mouth opened, and his eyes quickly turned red.
Amamiya Natsuki led the girls out of the room quietly. At such a moment, no words of comfort were needed; maintaining silence was enough.
Half an hour later.
Yuuko's mother and her husband came downstairs.
This time, the middle-aged man had no doubts whatsoever. With red eyes, he bowed deeply to Amamiya Natsuki and the others in gratitude, and even offered Fukuzawa Yukichi as a token of appreciation.
"No need," Amamiya Natsuki naturally wouldn't accept it. In fact, players generally weren't short on money. "As for the reward, Sayu has already paid."
Yuuko's mother thanked Sayu again. Her daughter's death had naturally caused resentment towards Sayu, but after communicating with her daughter's ghost, she was finally able to grudgingly let go.
After chatting for a while longer, Amamiya Natsuki and the others bid farewell and left.
It was already ten o'clock at night, and the lights of Sapporo were exceptionally beautiful, but as the night deepened, there were few pedestrians left on the streets.
Marin had also lost interest in continuing to play and looked up, saying:
"Natsuki, should we find a hotel to rest and go back tomorrow?"
"Okay."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded in agreement.
Tomorrow was Sunday, so there was no school, and naturally no need to rush back. Besides, it was too late for a plane, with only long-distance buses left.
Marin turned her head and said: "Sayu-chan, are you going home?"
Everyone knew about Sayu running away from home. Since she chose to run away, there must have been grievances that led to it, hence the question.
Sayu bit her tender pink lips and shook her head, saying softly:
"I'm not going back."
Marin put her right hand on her hip: "Then let's go to the hotel together."
"..."
The group found a nearby hotel to stay at.
Since it was the off-season for tourism, there weren't many people in the hotel, and naturally, many rooms were left. There was no special situation where only one room was available.
After consulting their opinions, Amamiya Natsuki booked two rooms: one for the three girls and one for himself.
Upon entering the room.
Amamiya Natsuki turned on the air conditioning, first replied to the various messages he had received, then took off his clothes, preparing for a bath. The hotel's environment was ordinary, but the bathtub was quite large, perfect for a relaxing soak.
He had just finished rinsing his body and was about to take a bath when a knock suddenly sounded on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Sayu?"
Amamiya Natsuki put on his bathrobe, went to open the door, and outside was Sayu, whose eyes were still a little red.
Sayu turned sideways and walked in, saying in a low voice:
"Father, what time are you going out tonight?"
Amamiya Natsuki closed the door.
"Why are you asking that?"
"I want to go with Dad." Sayu clenched her small fists, her gaze firm as she looked over. "Dad shouldn't think of leaving me alone."
"Actually, I wasn't planning on doing anything..."
"Anyway, I'm going too!"
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki thought it over carefully; there was no harm in bringing Sayu along.
He only intended to punish those wicked people; there was nothing shameful about it.
"Alright." Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly. "Come over at 11:30 PM, and we'll go together then."
Sayu couldn't help but sigh in relief, a pure and sweet smile blooming on her pretty face: "Thank you, Dad."
Human adaptability is truly powerful.
At first, she would blush and feel shy when calling him Dad, but in just a few short days, now, let alone blushing, she wouldn't even blink an eye.
Amamiya Natsuki said, "I'm going to continue my bath; you can go back now."
"That..." Sayu put her hands behind her back, her pretty face inexplicably turning red, and stammered, "Dad, do you want me to..."
"No need!"
Amamiya Natsuki decisively refused.
He had just reflected on himself three times this morning, warning himself not to fall into depravity, so of course, he wouldn't be tempted by her now.
His willpower wasn't that weak!
"Oh..." Sayu subtly sighed in relief and said softly, "Dad, I'll go back first then."
As Sayu reached the door, a knock suddenly sounded.
Knock knock knock.
"Eh?"
Sayu jumped in surprise, quickly stepping back two paces, away from the door. "Someone's knocking."
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow slightly. "It must be Marin."
Knocking so late, it was either Marin or Miss Nakajima, and Marin was naturally more likely.
"Wh-what should we do?"
Sayu immediately felt guilty, like a cat caught stealing fish.
Amamiya Natsuki said sternly:
"We are innocent, what is there to fear?"
"..."
Sayu bit her pink lips, unable to resist giving him a glare.
They were already in a father-daughter relationship; how could they be innocent?
"I'll hide." Sayu turned and slipped into the bathroom. "Don't tell Marin-chan I'm here."
