At night, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at the courtyard that Toji had tidied up to an almost outrageous extent, a look of astonishment on his face. At the same time, he smiled and praised Hanami:
"Thank you, Sister Hanami. This place is so clean it almost doesn't look like our place."
Toji glanced at Zenin Kiyoshi, then collapsed onto the sofa. Sniffing the faint scent of grass on the sofa, he still said with a bit of a foul mouth:
"It's just that your place is messy, you brat. Before you came, I would occasionally tidy up myself."
Ignoring Toji's obvious nonsense, Zenin Kiyoshi also collapsed onto the sofa on the other side. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, which was so clean that there was not even a speck of dust, and asked Hanami:
"Sister Hanami, we're moving in a few days. You actually didn't need to clean even the ceiling. This will only benefit the bastard Zenin family members who move in later."
To Zenin Kiyoshi's question, Hanami didn't know how to answer. For Hanami, who had just been born, she didn't even have a clear concept of family. Perhaps thinking that Zenin Kiyoshi's question was a blame, Hanami's voice was a little low, and even the two branches growing in her eye sockets drooped a little at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what I can do. Cleaning your residence for you is the only thing I can do..."
Hanami's voice was a little low. Toji noticed this. He wanted to say something to comfort Hanami, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
People who have not been treated gently will not know how to treat others gently.
So, Toji found a way he thought was the best. He stood up, tied his apron, and walked towards the kitchen. At the same time, he said to Hanami:
"Hey, little grass, can you eat vegetarian?"
"I... I haven't eaten before..."
Hanami was a little flustered and didn't even realize that the name Toji called her was not particularly nice.
And Zenin Kiyoshi at this time said with a smile:
"If you're not averse to eating vegetarian, even if something goes wrong, a Cursed Spirit can directly repair its body with cursed energy, right?"
Zenin Kiyoshi's persuasion made Hanami a little hesitant.
To be honest, although she was a Cursed Spirit who loved nature, this did not mean that Hanami was an extreme environmentalist. For her, the appropriate death of plants and flowers was a natural process of giving back to nature.
Hanami cared about the entire nature, not just plants.
Therefore, she would not have much resistance to eating some dead plants. In addition, she would not refuse people, so she agreed.
And Zenin Kiyoshi turned his head and shouted to Toji:
"Stir-fry two more dishes for Sister Hanami to eat. Use less oil and add more chopped green onions."
"You bastard brat, you have no place to command here!"
Toji's cooking skills were actually surprisingly good. Pan-fried tofu, tomato and egg soup, boiled chicken breast, cold broccoli...
Okay, most of them were relatively simple dishes, but they tasted pretty good after being drizzled with vinegar and chili oil.
Because of her size, Hanami was a bit clumsy with chopsticks at first, so Zenin Kiyoshi taught her to just use the chopsticks to stab the food.
They ate their meal in the living room because there was a TV to watch. Although the TV programs around the year 2000 were a bit boring for Zenin Kiyoshi, he still watched the entire prime time with the two of them with great interest.
During the commercials, Zenin Kiyoshi swallowed the tofu in his mouth and then said to Toji:
"We might have to go to Okinawa for a while later. The specific time is probably during the [Summer Vacation], which should be from July 20th to August 31st, about 40 days."
Hearing this, Toji looked at Zenin Kiyoshi in some surprise, as if to confirm that Kiyoshi's brain had not gone crazy.
"Are you out of your mind, you brat? We don't have extra money to go to a place like Okinawa. That bastard old man thinks you're still too young and that the money won't be safe with me, so our monthly money is only enough for food and the rent over there. If you want to go to Okinawa, you'll have to swim there from the sea."
Hanami did not speak. She still did not know what kind of place Okinawa was. For this strange place name, a rope of hemp being washed by the sea subconsciously appeared in Hanami's mind.
Zenin Kiyoshi had long expected Toji to react this way. He had no intention of hiding anything and directly said to Toji:
"Today in the interrogation room, I met Master Tengen. This is what she asked me to do. She will cover all the expenses, and just by completing this first mission, she will give us a reward of 20 million yen. She will also let me choose any item from her cursed tool library to borrow.
And the loan period is... five years."
Hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's words, Toji had already dropped the chopsticks in his hand. His mind at this moment was full of those two keywords.
"Cursed tool library", "20 million yen"!
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Zenin Kiyoshi with a straight face, and then said:
"Since it's a request from the people above, we probably don't have the qualification to refuse. You probably can't complete the mission by yourself, so, let's split the reward in half."
"Split it in half? The yen is easy to distribute, but what about the items in the cursed tool library?"
"It depends on the situation. If there's something suitable for you, you can take it first. If there's something suitable for me, I'll take it first and make it up to you later."
Hearing Toji's words, Zenin Kiyoshi smiled and nodded. He was not surprised by Toji's choice. Or rather, such a choice was more in line with the character of Toji in the original story in Zenin Kiyoshi's mind.
Although Toji verbally said that he no longer cared about what the people of the Zenin clan thought of him, if there was a chance to slap the Zenin clan in the face, then Toji would not want to give it up.
People are ultimately trapped for life by what they cannot obtain in their youth, and even the Heavenly Tyrant who was abandoned by all his family is the same.
"Alright. As for the specific mission details, it's to get in touch with a girl who is currently in elementary school, named Riko Amanai."
Hearing this, Toji did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was just getting in touch with the mission target in the early stage of the mission. This was a responsible attitude towards the basic mission.
But the next moment, Zenin Kiyoshi's words interrupted Toji's still relatively serious thinking:
"As for Master Tengen's words, she wants me to get in touch with Riko Amanai now. As for the rest, she said she will tell me later."
