Chapter 27

"Mob, it's time to go home," Reigen said to his disciple.

Shigeo looked up at his master to see him with a worried expression. He looked back at (Y/n) who just kept her head low. Looking back at Reigen, he spoke, "I'll stay for a little while with (Y/n)," He said.

"You should inform your parents first," Reigen suggested.

"My little brother already went home to tell them the news. I did ask him to tell them that I'll be staying here with (Y/n) and Mrs. (L/n)," He said.

With his reply, Reigen could only nod in response. Knowing that Shigeo lives in the same neighborhood as his niece, he somehow doesn't have to worry about him getting home late by himself.

"Alright," Reigen replied as he took a deep breath and sigh, "Take care of (Y/n) for me, okay?" He said as he gives a smile to the boy.

Shigeo nodded and smiled back at the man, "Got it," He replied.

"Okay, I need to go now. See you tomorrow, Mob," Reigen said as he waved at the boy.

"See you tomorrow, Master," Shigeo replied.

He watched as Reigen walked away and enters the elevator. Now, Shigeo was now left alone with the quiet (Y/n).

The spirit from earlier, known as Miyano was still there beside her. Not moving, and not saying anything. He's just staring at his daughter.

Shigeo respected his request even though his presence alone makes weaker spirits move away, so, the boy let down his guard so Miyano could stay as long as he wants.

He looks exactly like Yurio, except for the glass. He's the spitting image of him.

Shigeo watched as Miyano stood up quietly. He didn't say anything and just walked away, his form disappearing at the door he just walked in.

"I'm hungry..." The girl mumbled, making Shigeo look at her.

"Do you want to eat something at the nearest convenience store?" Shigeo asked.

"Yeah. But shouldn't you go home now, Shige-chan?" She asked, forcing a smile to give to Shigeo.

It was unusual for Shigeo to hear her this plain and tired. He's not used to it. He's always seeing the cheerful and enthusiastic (Y/n), so this was certainly new.

"I want to stay with you," He replied.

His words somehow caught the girl's attention as she looked at him. Giving her a smile, the girl somewhat felt relieved.

"Your parents won't get mad? Mom and I will stay here until midnight," She informed him.

"They won't," He said.
