Chapter 1095: Perfume
Saya: (What should I do? Is it too late for me to say I want to eat now...)
Saya: (…No, I should say it’s definitely too late. It’s better not to mention it.)
The instructor turned away and was eating ice cream.
I don’t know why she kept staring at the vegetable stall.
Facing such a mentor, Shaye always feels very stressed.
She decided to speak as soon as possible to break the awkwardness.
Saya: "That..."
Saya: "...Thank you, Master."
The instructor's slightly wagging tail stopped temporarily, and the cat ears on the left side of the head that were pierced through the hat twitched slightly. They looked as delicious as Ling Ge's and melted in your mouth.
Tutor: "Why are you thanking me?"
Shaye: "Is it the text message you sent, Master? Otherwise, I will..."
Tutor: "Huh...what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Saya: "...Yeah!"
She knew her mentor wouldn't admit she had done anything.
But Saya already basically understood her mentor's thoughts.
The purpose of attracting Shigei Imamura was to help her get rid of suspicion and give Saya, who couldn't bear to kill Suzuka, an excuse to escape punishment.
As for the reason why he called Mr. Clown - Kuno Shoji here, it was simply because he knew that Saya would be very weak after she was resurrected, and he was afraid that something bad would happen to her lying outside.
Tutor: "...I think you know why I asked you to come?"
Saya: "This... you probably want to tell me some things to pay attention to...?"
Instructor: "Yeah, but actually everything that needs to be said was said at the meeting."
Tutor: "I called you here because I have something I want to say to you."
Mentor: "Have you asked me before why I joined the Children of the Demons?"
Saya: "Yes...yes..."
Instructor: "...What can you smell on me?"
Saya: "It smells very good..."
Tutor: "This is no ordinary perfume."
Instructor: "It can cover the underworld aura on the body and prevent others from seeing it."
Shaye: "What does this mean?"
She was stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of fear and foreboding in her heart.
And the master's next words almost made her eyes turn black and her ears ringing.
Instructor: "There are many meanings, but what I want to say is that I used to be a witch from the underworld."
Saya: "This...this...how is it possible!"
Instructor: "What's impossible?"
Instructor: "...My parents have long since left the clan life and have little contact with the clan. I was not born in Yitian Village or a place where they have many informants, but grew up in such an ordinary town."
Instructor: "This vegetable stall is my home."
Saya: "Ah...that's why...you're staring at it with that expression..."
Saya: "...Is ice cream also the taste of hometown?"
Instructor: "That's right. I actually don't remember it very clearly."
Instructor: "Including the scenery in this illusion, it is only constructed based on Yue Mohu's memory. I'm afraid there are many differences from the real scene. Only the scenery near my home is the most accurate."
Instructor: "...Hmph, the ice cream today just doesn't taste as good as it did sixty or seventy years ago."
Tutor: "At that time, I lived a peaceful and happy childhood here. Suddenly, someone came from the Yida family and took me away from here. I was separated from my parents and imprisoned in the village..."
Tutor: "They force me to learn this and that every day, and participate in various rituals and activities... If that's all, they actually concealed the truth about the underworld witch being sacrificed from me, and suddenly tied me up and stuffed me one day. Enter the barrel and prepare to be buried alive..."
Instructor: "Many underworld witches are buried as human pillars like this and suffer forever under the gate of underworld. It is not death, but it is the same as death, and it is even far more torturous than simple death."
Mentor: "...Thanks to the help of my lover, I escaped from my responsibilities and left that nightmarish village."
Mentor: "Having given up my mission, I naturally lost my qualifications and no longer have the power of the underworld witch. But this filthy underworld aura still exists..."
Mentor: "I was worried that someone could smell it, so I kept hiding everything with this special perfume."
Shaye: "..."
Saya: "The person who saved you...is...your guardian?"
Instructor: "Hmph... I don't think there will be anyone else."
Mentor: "...He has become a traitor just like me."
