Chapter 519 You really want to know?
“The process of a ghost aging is very long, so long that it is difficult for humans to accept,” Tamayo said calmly.
Yu Zi lay lazily on the sofa, not wanting to move at all, and said weakly, "Why don't you say anything to comfort me?"
Tamayo smiled helplessly: "Because I know that Ikuko isn't the type to be easily comforted with a few words of consolation."
"Maybe I'll be able to let it go?"
Tamayo sighed in resignation, "Okay, actually, as long as we take each day seriously, it won't matter if we part ways in the end."
Yuko: "Are you sure it's okay? Aren't humans and demons all greedy creatures?"
"If you have it, you want more."
Tamayo: "...So, you actually understand everything, don't you?"
"If only I could be as carefree as some idiots all day long." Yuko slid down, her bottom almost falling off the sofa to the floor.
Tamayo suggested, "Actually, turning Shinobu into a demon is much simpler than making you a human-turning drug."
Yuko raised her hand to interrupt: "Stop, you know Shinobu won't agree to this topic."
"Is it that Miss Shinobu won't agree, or that you won't agree?" Tamayo's purple eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts.
Yu Zi fell silent again, and after a long while she sighed and said, "It's getting more and more pointless to talk to you. You don't even give me any face."
Tamayo rolled her eyes: "It's because you always say such stupid things."
"Ah~" Yu Zi suddenly went crazy, rolling around on the sofa and howling loudly, looking like she had given up on herself.
Tamayo's face darkened: "Wait, give it to me..."
Before she could finish speaking, there was a dull thud, and Yu Zi crashed spectacularly into the corner of the coffee table and rolled to the floor.
"Ouch~ That hurts~" Yu Zi gasped as she got up from the ground, rubbing her scalp in pain.
Tamayo's gloomy expression vanished in an instant: "...Are you an idiot?"
This guy is hundreds of years old and still looks like he hasn't grown up.
Fortunately, Yuko was a demon, and the pain in her head quickly subsided. If it were a human, she would probably have a huge bump on her head.
"Look, the pain only lasted for a moment and then it's gone. Don't you think I can live a long time?"
Tamayo said expressionlessly, "I think you're overthinking it. Even Yushiro and I can recover quickly from that kind of pain that doesn't even have a wound."
"Is that so? Then how much longer do you think I have to live?"
"At least your wish to grow old with Miss Shinobu is not going to come true."
Yuko opened her mouth, unsure whether to feel pain or to complain about Tamayo's heartlessness.
After a moment of silence, Tamayo added, "Take it slow and don't do anything foolish."
Yuko hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"I know."
An idea came to her mind.
……
Ikuko was warmly received by Tamayo and stayed at Tamayo's house for several days before returning to the clinic.
Yes, this warm hospitality was Yuko's explanation for coming home late.
In fact, during her few days in Asakusa, Yuko's behavior had already made Yushiro so angry that he wanted to kick her out.
Fortunately, Shinobu Kocho didn't mind that she was two days late. After all, Ikuko and Tamayo had a very good relationship, so it was normal for her to stay a couple more days.
When they returned, it was already evening. The clinic closed its doors, and the two said goodbye to Kanae and headed to the Butterfly House.
"Huh huh huh~"
Yuko hummed a little tune with light steps, and with her already long legs, she completely left Shinobu Kocho behind.
Shinobu Kocho didn't mind this, but instead took two quick steps and looked at her sideways with a puzzled expression.
Yuko turned her head and blinked: "What's wrong?"
Shinobu Kocho was speechless: "What's wrong? Why do you look so happy?"
"Want to know?"
Shinobu Kocho nodded subconsciously.
"I'm not telling you~" Yu Zi smacked her on the back of the head and skipped away.
Shinobu Kocho stood there stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, veins popped out on her forehead.
"Hey! You stop right there!" Shinobu Kocho angrily chased after him.
“Can’t catch it!”
The two jogged and played along the street until they pushed open the gate and slipped into the yard, where Shinobu caught Ikuko.
Shinobu Kocho's expression darkened as she threatened, "Will you talk or not?"
Instead of being frightened, Yuko smiled subtly: "You really want to know?"
This guy isn't afraid?
Shinobu Kocho was momentarily unsure what illness Ikuko had relapsed into.
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you~" Yuko coughed twice, then turned around twice as if it were a big deal, making Shinobu's lips twitch.
Luckily, it was in my own yard. If it had been outside, I wouldn't have kept this person; it would have been too embarrassing.
After spinning around twice, Yuko stood in front of Shinobu Kocho, head held high and chest puffed out: "Shinobu, do you want to see if I've changed at all?"
Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were going to tell me?"
Yuko pondered for a moment: "I think it would be better if you felt a little more involved."
Veins on Shinobu's forehead began to bulge.
That idiot! He really needs to be taught a lesson!
"Could it be..." Yuko covered her mouth, feigning disappointment, "that Shinobu didn't even notice such an obvious change in me?"
"That's too much~"
Shinobu took a deep breath, patiently scrutinizing Ikuko's appearance with a deep gaze.
Red hair, red eyes, freckles... isn't this exactly the same?!
Even the clothes were worn the day they were taken away!
Butterfly clenched her fist, barely able to contain herself any longer; she seriously suspected that this person was playing a trick on her!
You know, Yuko's criminal record is so extensive it could fill an entire room.
Noticing Shinobu's unusual behavior, Ikuko suddenly realized something.
"Ah! I forgot that my previous disguise was actually my true self!"
Shinobu Kocho asked instinctively, "What do you mean?"
Yuko smiled slightly, her hands behind her back: "What I mean is—my current appearance is completely undisguised~"
Butterfly frowned, wondering what all this was all about.
Of course she knew that there was no pretense in her appearance...
Shinobu Kocho suddenly froze.
Wait, although Yuuko's original appearance was also red hair, she also had a pair of red double pupils. Later, after Tamayo modified her body, Yuuko's appearance changed to that of a demon. Normally, she would conceal her identity by using her human form.
In human times, their appearance was without disguise...
"Yuko, could it be that you..."
Yu Zi nodded with relief: "That's right! I..."
Shinobu Kocho looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What did you do this time? Did you undo the effects of the demon transformation?"
Yuko's expression of relief froze, and she said angrily, "No, that's not it! I meant I've turned back into a human!"
