Like a movie special effect, a thick, liquid-like black shadow enveloped the tall figure and silently sank into the ground.
Disappeared? !
Hideo Asai stared blankly at the empty ground, blinking hard, wondering if he was hallucinating from excessive grief.
Yet, the warm touch of the saury in my palm felt so real.
After a moment of stunned silence, an indescribable excitement surged onto his face.
Without further delay, Hideo Asai frantically turned the wheels of his wheelchair with his still-functioning right hand, rushing towards the rented house where he and his mother lived as fast as he could.
Because of his disability, they have always rented ground-floor apartments for convenience.
He struggled to push open the door and reached out to press the light switch on the wall by the door.
The warm yellow light instantly turned on, illuminating the rented room, which was less than 20 square meters in size.
Although small, the house does not appear cluttered or crowded. Every item is carefully arranged, reflecting a mother's dedication to her family.
He quickly pushed the wheelchair into the house.
There was a metal bunk bed in the room, with two bunks.
Originally, his mother slept on the upper floor, but after being diagnosed with late-stage bone cancer, Hideo Asai insisted that his mother no longer have to climb up and down the stairs, and let her sleep on the lower floor so that he could take care of her more easily.
The lights came on, startling the haggard-looking woman in bed.
With unprecedented excitement and anticipation, Hideo Asai's voice trembled as he said, "Mother! Quickly! Eat this saury!"
The woman was puzzled as to why her son was so agitated.
But seeing the light rekindled in her son's eyes, who had always been depressed, she forced herself to sit up despite the excruciating pain and took the saury, saying, "Hideo... where did you buy this?"
"It wasn't bought! It was a gift from a mysterious person! He must be a messenger sent by God! He must be!"
Hideo Asai's tone was filled with unwavering conviction.
The woman's heart sank.
Has my son run into some kind of cult?
Asai Hideo urged, "Mother, eat quickly! You'll get better after you eat!"
"Ah."
She decided to eat the fish as her son wished first, and then properly guide him, making sure he didn't fall into those crooked religious traps.
The woman tore off a piece of fish belly meat with her withered fingers, carefully put it into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and then swallowed it.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a gentle warmth welling up in her abdomen, which penetrated her stomach wall, blended into her flesh and blood, and finally seeped into her bones, which had been aching for so long.
The intense pain, which had felt like being pricked by needles or stabbed with knives, suddenly lessened considerably.
How can this be? !
Chapter 92 Tsukishima's face is a little dirty
Hanako Asai almost wondered if she had been sick for so long that she was having such a bizarre illusion.
She hesitated for a moment, then tore off another piece of tender fish belly meat and carefully put it into her mouth.
This time, she focused all her attention and felt it clearly.
A gentle warmth rose from her abdomen and flowed to her bones, which were constantly aching.
The pain that had tormented her for so long was actually greatly relieved by this warm current.
Is this fish really useful?!
Hanako Asai's eyes widened instantly, and without further hesitation, she began to eat faster.
In the deep shadow cast by the iron bunk bed, Qingze quietly watched everything that was happening before him, confirming it in his heart.
These foods with blue labels do indeed have an effect on people other than him.
Unlike the boost from red name tags, this only applies to the person who has them.
It seems this is related to the nature of the cyan label itself.
The value of a "curative medicine" clearly lies in its universality.
If it can only be used by oneself, its value will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
Just as he was pondering this, Asai Hanako on the bed had already eaten half of the fish belly.
She felt her physical condition had improved more than ever before, so she suddenly looked up at her son in the wheelchair.
"Xiuxiong, I feel much better now. You can eat the rest. After you finish eating, maybe your leg will feel better..."
"Mother! Please, please finish it!"
Hideo Asai could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face. He almost screamed, "It's no big deal that I'm paralyzed! So what if I can't walk?!"
I still have hands! I can try drawing comics and writing light novels!
So please, please finish it.
We must all live well!
Hearing her son's heartfelt cries, Asai Hanako's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she choked out, "Yes! We must all live well!"
She stopped refusing and ate the rest of the saury, leaving only the bones.
In an instant, she felt an unprecedented sense of comfort sweep over her entire body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and even her breathing became lighter.
The pain and heaviness that had plagued her body for so long seemed to vanish with this warm current, and she felt as if she had returned to her energetic youth.
Her pale face regained a healthy rosy glow at a visible speed, and a genuine smile bloomed on her face as she said, "Hideo, I feel completely fine!"
Asai Hideo's face finally lit up with a look of relief and ecstatic joy. He choked up as he suggested, "Mother, the cherry blossoms in Toneri Park should still be in bloom. Why don't you take me there tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
Asai Hanako readily agreed, her face beaming with the excitement of surviving a close call. She began to chatter on and on about the plans, "We need to prepare a picnic blanket and bento boxes. We haven't gone to see the flowers together in ages..."
Normally, Hideo Asai might have found his mother a bit nagging, but after this incident, hearing that familiar nagging again only brought him immense warmth.
He felt a deep sense of gratitude towards the unknown mysterious person.
Just then, the blue tag above his head, labeled "Bard," rippled and eventually merged into a clear blue light.
Qingze jumped into the shadows outside the house, then rose again.
The blue light shot out the door, curved, and precisely entered his brow.
He clearly felt that his range of perception had been enhanced once again.
Now, everything within a six-meter radius is under his control.
Even through the wall, he could "see" the mother and child's movements inside the room, and even "hear" their strong and steady heartbeats.
Although their facial features are still somewhat blurry, they are no longer an indistinguishable blob, and their outlines can be vaguely seen.
This indicates that his imaging capabilities have improved.
He did not linger; the shadow enveloped his entire body like a living thing, then sank back into the ground to begin a new round of searching.
……
Saturday, April 19th.
Early in the morning, Chizuru Tsukishima woke up from her sleep on time.
She quickly changed into a suit, went into the bathroom, and brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Then, she skillfully applied a light and refreshing makeup look in front of the mirror.
Picking up her handbag, she left home, her mind replaying the discussions she'd seen in social media groups the night before.
Something big seems to have happened in Honmachi 5-chome.
The discussion among netizens was heated, and even in her social media groups, people were speculating curiously without any concrete information.
This means that what happened is no small matter.
I wonder if Lingzi found out any inside information afterward.
Chizuru Tsukishima was thinking about these things, but she didn't choose to call and ask immediately.
Her social circle mainly consists of two parts.
Some of them are friends I made during my time at the University of Tokyo, who are now working in various industries.
Another part is the social circle she formed after becoming the principal, which consisted of wealthy women from all walks of life.
It seems that no one on either side gets up as early as her.
If you call now, you'll almost certainly get a sleepy rant in return.
She drove the tram smoothly into Nagato High School and parked it in the first parking space.
There was no explicit rule about this position, but the school's teachers were all very tactful and tacitly reserved this most convenient spot for the principal.
Chizuru Tsukishima got off the bus, carrying her handbag as she walked towards the teaching building.
The students she encountered along the way bowed and greeted her.
She never put on airs as a principal and always responded with a charming smile and a gentle response.
That alluring voice, with its languid and magnetic quality, often made young women blush and their hearts race.
She changed into soft indoor shoes in the shoe cabinet area, walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, unlocked the principal's office door with her key, and gently closed it behind her.
She began to take off her suit jacket.
They weren't worried at all about someone suddenly barging in.
Apart from Qingze, no one else dared to push open this door without her permission.
She shed her formal suit and changed into a fitted bright red sports vest and athletic shorts.
The length of the shorts was just right to cover her pert buttocks.
For stockings, classic black was chosen.
The clash of black and red, two extreme colors, creates a strong visual impact on her snow-white skin, showcasing her mature and sexy feminine charm to the fullest.
