Chapter Thirty-Three Return

  "Sunflower!! Why didn't you tell Dad that you were coming back early?! What if you got kidnapped by bad people?! Waaaahhhh... Dad is so heartbroken~~" I looked at the so-called 'Dad' with extreme annoyance as he performed his tragic solo show. Just after dinner, I was caught and brought back by Lán Táng and the others. I had just started to experience human life, but now I have to waste my life in this closed-off school again, and on top of that, I have to deal with a 'Dad' who loves to manipulate people's emotions... Is there any justice in this world?!

  "...... director." I really want to tell you that if you go and learn about funeral rites, your employer will definitely give you a lot of money.

  "Call dad~~" The director is about to cry again, and I couldn't help but put a few black lines on my forehead. Director, how did you cultivate the Item God Technique?! Otherwise, how can you squeeze out so many tears at any time?

  "Hehe, Kurenai is back." Yuuki looked at the director who was crying again and laughed mockingly, then turned her head to look at that small and lovely person. Under her friendly smile hid an ugly heart. How detestable!! Why did this person come back?! Just when I could get closer to Shuu-senpai, that fox spirit came back**Shuu-senpai is mine, Kurenai Kokuryuu, I'll make you regret it!!"

  "What's it like... after passing away?" Zero finally spoke up after a long silence.

  "It's great, I saw many different things and brought back three lovely spoils of war~~" A slight smile played on the corners of my mouth, if people heard me say that, they would definitely think I'm a human trafficker.

  The three people in the house were all somewhat surprised, and what surprised them was that the child was no longer as indifferent as before, easily revealing a smile, and his eyes, which had been as empty as white paper, seemed to have something more. Zero's heart felt a hint of discomfort and jealousy towards the person who had changed him, and in his eyes, he saw a gentleness he had never seen before.

  "Oh heavens! Kurenai told Father, who changed my cute daughter?!" The director-in-chief rushed to my front with tears in his eyes, I couldn't help but twitch at the corners of my mouth. What did I change into? Where did I change?!

  "Director, you're getting old and your eyes should be replaced." Meaning that your eyes are no longer useful.

  "Kaaa——" The director, Seki, was petrified, and even Yuuki and Rei were stunned. Aoi Sakura, you've really changed, you've become sharp-tongued.

  "It's already very late, I should go to sleep." She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Yuuki, "Yuuki, the color of your soul is really dirty. If you truly loved Onii-chan with sincerity, I would have let you two be together because I won't be staying in this world forever. But someone as cunning and manipulative as you, who would harm me, I won't let you get close to Onii-chan. Being with a woman like you will only bring misfortune to Onii-chan."

  "Let's go together." Zero knew she was going to those vampires tomorrow and was somewhat worried, after all that woman had come.

  "Zero, what do you want to say?" Darting through the corridor, he stopped in his tracks and looked up at the cold and stern boy beside him. If there wasn't something going on, Zero wouldn't be escorting a girl, unless he had lost his mind.

  "Stay away from that woman, the one they call Red Maria. She's trouble." Zero's eyes were filled with warning and concern, because he was afraid she would get hurt by that woman.

  "..........I see." His concern warmed my heart a little. "Does Rei like Yuuki?" Yuuki isn't as simple and kind as the anime portrays her to be, after all she's just a substitute. And her inner self is quite dirty, if she's not careful she'll end up hurting others, especially the people I care about.

  "No." The unexpectedly blunt answer left me a bit surprised, and it was that same decisiveness. "Kurenai, you have to be careful around Yuuki, she's not what you think she is." Zero had been drinking Yuuki's blood, and from his veins came jealousy and hatred towards Kurenai, as well as a poisonous intent to kill her, which made him suspicious and disappointed in her. After that, he had been secretly observing her actions, which also made him repeatedly disappointed in her, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed this was Yuuki, the pure, kind, and weak were all just an act, giving him a sense of collapse. But fortunately, he didn't like Yuuki, before she was just like family to him, the one he liked was the girl in front of him, as simple as a blank sheet of paper, but with a smile that shone like the sun, thawing his frozen heart.
