Chapter 228

The youngest daughter of the Tendo family, she and Rentaro are childhood friends.

Luo Mio looked speechless as she watched the two chasing each other.

"What are you doing...?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, the two stopped in their tracks.

Upon seeing Luo Mio, Tendo Kisara pointed at Rentaro and spoke.

"It's all Satomi's fault, that big idiot!"

His hands were clenched into fists, trembling with anger.

"I was so focused on buying those limited-time discounted items that I completely forgot to collect my reward from the police... and if I hadn't reminded me just now... I wouldn't have even remembered..."

Rentaro scratched his head helplessly and turned his face to the side.

"And they only bought two packs..."

"And most importantly..."

Tendo Kisara's slender eyes were fixed on Rentaro, his index finger pointing at him.

Why didn't you tell me about the limited-time special offer?

Upon hearing this, an absolute silence fell over the air.

"Coo coo coo..."

All that could be heard was a rumbling sound coming from Tendo Kisara's stomach.

"I'm so hungry..."

Tendo Kisara squatted down, lowered his head, and clutched his stomach.

"It's all your fault, you big idiot, you useless bastard..."

Seeing this, Rentaro said helplessly, "Shall I make a phone call or go to the police station now?"

"No."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Mio said to the two of them, "When you left, Rentaro, I already talked to Officer Tadajima about the reward. I guess the reward will be delivered soon."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Rentaro and Tendo Kisara slightly opened their mouths and looked at Luo Mio.

Then, looking at Rentaro, she pointed at him and said, "Satomi, you big idiot, why can't you learn more from Brother Miohua?"

After hearing what Tendo Kisara said to him, Rentaro scratched the back of his head and glanced at him slightly.

"Not everyone is like Brother Miohua... so capable, gentle, strong, and able to do anything, even her grades are outstanding..."

"Indeed... even I feel like I could be your wife Brother Miohua."

Hearing Rentaro and Tendo Kisara say such things, Luo Mio chuckled.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually enjoy being lazy and slacking off."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the two of them turned their heads away without denying it.

Having known Luo Mio for a year, they both knew what kind of person Luo Mio was.

He did not deny that he liked to be lazy and slack off.

Then, Tendo Kisara sat down in his office chair, turned on the computer on his desk, and skillfully typed on the keyboard with his slender, fair fingers.

Looking at Tendo Kisara and Rentaro, Luo Mio spoke to them.

"I'll go prepare some snacks for you."

Because Tendo Kisara lives at the company, there is a small kitchen behind the curtain where he can cook.

Then Luo Mio turned around and walked behind the curtain.

However, Tendo Kisara Rentaro chatted for a while.

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Rentaro's tone was slightly impatient, and his loud voice reached Luo Mio's ears.

Luo Mio stepped out from behind the curtain.

Watching Rentaro's departing figure and the impatient expression on his face as he walked out of the house.

Luo Mio turned her gaze to the dim-eyed Tendo Kisara inside the room.

He went inside and asked her, "You asked about his parents again?"

"..." Tendo Kisara didn't answer, but lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright." Looking at the silent Tendo Kisara, Luo Mio walked over and gently patted her shoulder, speaking to her gently like an older brother, "Rentaro didn't mean to get angry with you. He just doesn't like this topic."

After hearing Luo Mio's words of comfort, Tendo Kisara raised her head, looked at Luo Mio, and gave her a beautiful smile.

"Thank you for your comfort, Brother Miohua."

She lowered her eyes slightly and murmured softly, "If only my brother were you..."

After saying that, Tendo Kisara's narrow eyes revealed a look of hatred and evil.

Looking at Tendo Kisara, Luo Mio said, "Aren't you going for hemodialysis? I'll take you there."

"Huh?" Tendo Kisara looked at Luo Mio with even more confusion.

Luo Mio said to her nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do next."

Looking at Luo Mio, Tendo Kisara smiled gently.

"Thank you, Brother Miohua."

Luo Mio shrugged.

The two then left Tiantong Village.

Walking down the street, Luo Mio looked at Tendo Kisara walking ahead of her, recalling the look she had given her earlier.

Looking at the "giant stone monument" standing in the distance.

A faint golden hue flickered within her azure eyes...

"What a hopeless world..."

Chapter Three: The Clear Water Droplet on the Stone

"I'm back."

Luo Mio opened the door and walked into the room.

Standing in the very simple entrance hall of the apartment, Luo Mio took off her shoes.

After accompanying Tendo Kisara to the hospital for hemodialysis, it was already afternoon. Seeing the time, Luo Mio went to the supermarket and bought meat and vegetables for dinner.

"Ah, welcome back."

A series of light footsteps could be heard coming from inside the house.

"Brother Miohua".

Then, from a corner of the entrance hallway, a petite figure came to Luo Mio's side.

Her petite figure, like Enju's, suggests she is a girl around ten years old.

The little girl had long, light silver hair tied in a low ponytail, which was placed in front of her on her right side.

Her light pink eyes looked at Luo Mio with a happy expression. She was wearing a black dress and a hooded tracksuit, with black stockings underneath.

What attracts the most attention are the two pale silver cat ears on the girl's head, which are the same color as her hair.

The cat-eared girl in front of you is Luo Mio's "Initiator," an "Initiator" with Cat-type Gene.

Fuse Midori.

When she met Luo Mio, she was alone in the Outer Area, like a kitten, curled up in a dilapidated house. When she met Luo Mio, she also showed a wary look in her eyes.

Perhaps because she was Cat-type Initiator, Fuse Midori did not smell any aversion or hatred towards Luo Mio on her, so Fuse Midori also lowered her guard against Luo Mio.

Later, I spent about a month with Luo Mio in the Outer Area.

Luo Mio then took her back to the Tokyo Area and made her his "Initiator".

Although Fuse Midori possesses formidable combat abilities comparable to Enju, Fuse Midori strength is irrelevant to Luo Mio. The reason he made Fuse Midori his "Initiator" is simply to provide Fuse Midori with a legitimate identity and a comfortable living environment.

Therefore, Luo Mio also made a promise with Fuse Midori.

Do not engage in combat with Gastrea!

So every time Luo Mio went to work, he was the only one to hunt down Gastrea.

Not only Fuse Midori, but also Enju and Luo Mio had made it clear to her.

As long as he is by her side, no matter what the situation, he can only leave the Gastrea to Luo Mio alone.

Luo Mio squatted down slightly, reached out and gently stroked the cat-eared girl's head, and said softly.

"I'm back, Xiao Cui."

"Um."

Fuse Midori nodded cutely.

"Sorry I got back a little late."

Luo Mio gently patted Fuse Midori's little head.

Fuse Midori shook her head and said, "No, Brother Miohua."

Looking at the tidy house and smooth floor, Luo Mio stroked Fuse Midori's head and said softly to her, "Are you hungry? I'll go prepare dinner now."

Then Luo Mio carried the plastic bag and headed towards the kitchen.

Standing in the kitchen, Luo Mio washed the vegetables and asked Fuse Midori was cutting meat with her long cat paws, as she did so.

How was your day?

In response to Luo Mio's question, Fuse Midori replied softly, "I was a little bored at home this afternoon, so I went out for a walk."

"Was your hat properly worn on your head?"

"Um."

Fuse Midori nodded.

Because of her height, Fuse Midori has to stand on a children's chair to cut meat or wash vegetables.

Because there are many "Promised Child" in Luo Mio's neighborhood, Luo Mio rarely lets Fuse Midori leave the house, and even if she does, she can't go too far from home.

Furthermore, because of Fuse Midori's cat ears, Luo Mio didn't send her to school. Instead, she personally taught her knowledge. Because of Luo Mio, Fuse Midori's knowledge is now equivalent to that of a junior high school student.

Although she appeared to be imprisoning Fuse Midori did not harbor any resentment about it.

As long as Luo Mio was by her side, she felt that everything was alright.

The two divided the work very well, and the meal was prepared quickly.

Luo Mio placed the rice bowl on the table and spoke softly to Fuse Midori.

"Go take a bath, Xiao Cui."

"Good."

Fuse Midori responded and then walked towards the bathroom.

Looking at the slightly piping hot food on the table, Luo Mio also sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched today's news report.

Because Fuse Midori is Cat-type Initiator, she also has Cat Tongue and is afraid of hot food.

Therefore, Luo Mio always waits for the food to cool down a bit before eating it after preparing dinner.

——

After finishing dinner, Luo Mio cleaned up all the dishes and leftovers, and then spoke to Fuse Midori, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Xiao Cui, it's time."

Then he took out a pressure injector without a pillow from the cabinet next to the sofa.

On the sofa, Fuse Midori stretched out her slender, fair arms.
