Raichu Was Captured (Sad)

Outside Tokyo, "You're Xiao Zhi?!"

Brock had just returned from the Igarashi Family, where he had learned a few Five Elements Onmyodo techniques.

In reality, he had merely memorized them by rote—the kind where forming the hand seals alone took him ages. He stared in shock at the muscular elementary schooler before him, his eyes practically popping out.

How many days had it even been?

"Misty, could it be that you taught the family's Secret Technique—"

Brock's first thought was that Misty had fallen head over heels for a man and secretly taught Xiao Zhi the Keikain Family's Secret Technique.

"No, absolutely not!"

Misty raised a hand to her forehead. Why did everyone think she would—though if Xiao Zhi wanted to learn, it wasn't impossible.

"Misty, why is your face red?"

Little Tsukuyomi, who had floated over, tilted her head in confusion.

"N-Nothing,"

Misty turned her flushed face away.

The Keikain Family's Secret Technique was not inaccessible to outsiders; all they had to do was marry into the Keikain Family.

Like policewoman Kawai Mai in the past, who had originally been meant to marry Keikain Ryuji. But first, she became the "Calamity God," then, before she could even make a name for herself, she was blasted apart on the spot by the "Duke of Blazing Sun," reverting into a little girl. Naturally, the marriage arrangement came to nothing.

They couldn't exactly have Ryuji marry a child, could they?

Never mind whether he would agree to it—Mai's "guidepost," Fuji Seiko, would never allow it.

No, wait.

Misty suddenly thought of something.

With Xiao Zhi's strength, he had no need to learn the Keikain Family's Secret Technique at all. And the gap between her and him...

"Why has your face turned yellow now?"

No matter how mature her mind was, little Tsukuyomi
