He arrived downstairs at Hozuki Yayoi's place.
Yang Tao was about to open the car door and get out, but Elisa's words pinned him to the driver's seat.
"Triangle Head and Sadako's child has been born."
Silence~
Yang Tao was stunned for a long time until Elisa reached out and waved her hand in front of him.
"B-born? It hasn't been ten months, has it?"
"Soul gestation... as long as there's enough energy, the child can be born at any time."
Yang Tao didn't speak, opened the car door, and got out of the driver's seat. The sun was covered by dark clouds, just like his heart at that moment.
'The wind today is quite boisterous...'
He fumbled in his backpack for the cigarettes that had been there for several months, pulled one out, slowly lit it, and took a slow drag.
He exhaled a perfect smoke ring.
'What a crazy world...'
Just then, Elisa got out of the passenger seat, walked up to Yang Tao, and said, "Do you want to see their child?"
"Alright, I'll take a look."
To be honest, Yang Tao was still very curious about what their child would look like. Could it be a Triangle Head wearing white clothes?
A faint smile appeared on Elisa's face, and two children, about two or three years old, appeared beside Elisa.
One boy and one girl, with mixed-race appearances.
Yang Tao: "..."
Let's not even talk about their age; they're twins?!
The two children looked like ordinary humans, only their bodies seemed a little unreal, giving a sense of illusion. Yang Tao stared for a long time, then said to Elisa:
"Send the children back, lest their parents worry."
Elisa nodded lightly, and the two children were sent back into the inner world. Her eyes held a hint of a smile as she looked at the somewhat melancholic Yang Tao and said, "The children are very cute. I'm already their godmother, and I'll raise them well."
Yang Tao took another puff of his cigarette, feeling how strange this world was.
"Elisa, let's go. Let's see what's going on with this little girl, Yayoi. I hope we encounter some troublesome guys."
He really wanted a fist-to-flesh battle. His body was immune to damage, but this invisible mental damage directly broke his defenses.
'No... why does Triangle Head deserve this?'
Could it be that metallic Triangle Head has a charm bonus?
He really couldn't figure it out.
He extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the nearby trash can. He and Miko arrived at Yayoi's doorstep and rang the doorbell.
Ding-dong~
The crisp sound of the doorbell rang, and hurried footsteps came from inside the room.
"Please wait, coming right away."
With a creak, the door opened a crack. Hozuki Eiko poked her head out through the gap and showed a surprised expression when she saw them: "Why are you here?"
She opened the door wide.
"Please come in."
Seeing Hozuki Eiko's puzzled look, Miko explained, "Yayoi called us. She said she needed our help with something, so we came to check."
Hozuki Eiko showed a look of understanding upon hearing this and said very politely, "I'm so sorry for troubling you."
Thump thump thump...
With a series of footsteps, Yayoi ran downstairs from the second floor in her slippers. Upon seeing Yang Tao, her usually expressionless little face also showed a hint of surprise.
"Uncle, you came too?"
It had been a while since he saw Yayoi, but Yang Tao felt that the little girl hadn't changed at all. Not only her height, but even the thick purple windbreaker she wore hadn't changed.
"I happened to be in the area and heard you encountered some trouble, so I came to check."
The group entered the house and sat down in Eiko's living room.
Eiko brought a few cups of hot tea and placed them on the table. After Yang Tao thanked her, he looked at Yayoi and asked, "What happened? Tell me..."
Hozuki Yayoi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Keitarō, his other student, Kamiyo Ai, has a very special constitution that strongly attracts spirits."
Hearing this, Yang Tao couldn't help but glance at Miko and Hana. In theory, they also had a strong attraction to spirits.
"You continue."
"Keitarō and I helped her solve the spiritual body problem, but something more troublesome appeared."
"She's been targeted by a loli-loving deity. My power isn't a match for It, so I want to ask Miss Elisa for help in dealing with It."
Yang Tao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a look of interest appearing on his face. He put down his teacup, looked at Yayoi, and asked, "A deity?"
"Wait... the deities in your country shouldn't be what I'm thinking of. How is Keitarō's student, Kamiyo Ai, doing now?"
The 'eight million deities' aren't just for show. As long as they're worshipped for two days and get a bit of incense, they dare to call themselves gods.
"Kamiyo Ai is fine now, but she's about to turn 20, and that deity will come to take her away."
Yang Tao was completely confused. He had no idea about Yayoi's storyline. Hearing her say this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "20 years old, why wait until 20?"
"Because without exception, all females in the Kamiyo family are taken away by 'gods' when they turn 20, and Ai has also been chosen by the 'deity' as a bride candidate."
Yang Tao suddenly understood. No wonder Yayoi had called the deity a loli-lover earlier. After hearing the explanation, he felt that this so-called deity was like the monsters in Journey to the West who demanded child sacrifices from Villagers.
"All females in the Kamiyo family who turn 20, this deity sure plays it fancy..."
Yang Tao stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then said to Yayoi, "Where can I find this 'Deity'?"
"I don't know, but as long as Kamiyo Ai is there, It can be drawn out."
"Alright then, Yayoi, do you have Ai's phone number? Ask her to come out. I also want to see this deity."
Yayoi nodded lightly, immediately pulled out her phone, and called Keitarō.
After giving a few instructions, she hung up the phone, made an OK gesture with her hand, and said, "It's done. Keitarō will bring Ai over in a bit."
Yang Tao nodded gently, then looked at Elisa beside him and asked, "Didn't you find any deities when you came here?"
Elisa, sitting beside him, shook her head slightly and said, "I've only been here once by myself. I caught some relatively strong minor spirits and gave them to the little girl."
"The number of evil spirits in this city is much fewer than in the city I'm from. Also, they don't appear openly; they only sneak out at night, which is too much trouble for me."
Yang Tao silently complained in his heart, 'You've been spoiled by the buffet...'
Not all worlds have an abundance of evil spirits like Miko's world.
The group waited at Hozuki Eiko's house, drinking tea, for Keitarō to arrive with Ai.
About half an hour passed.
Eiko, who was fiddling with her phone, suddenly stood up and said, "Keitarō is here. I'll open the door."
She took two steps towards the door.
The doorbell also rang at the opportune moment.
Ding-dong~
Soon, Keitarō led a young girl into the living room.
[World Exploration Value: 67.66%]
The girl had beautiful golden long hair and a sunny smile on her face, looking very cheerful and lively.
But what was most striking were her eyes; her bright, large eyes actually had a golden five-pointed star in them, making it look as if she was wearing colored contact lenses.
However, given the precedent of Yayoi's skull pupils, Yang Tao knew this was probably not just a cosmetic contact lens.
'Could this world also be an eye-legend?'
