Very likely.
She looks so much like her; even if she's not her mother, she must be a direct relative.
No wonder you said 'please' this morning. Even the cold and ruthless Kaguya-san has something precious she wants to protect!
"She's my mother."
Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly, her arms crossed over her chest.
I guessed right.
It's her mother, as expected.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze subtly swept across Kaguya-san's chest.
What a pity.
She didn't inherit Mrs. Shimizu's excellent genes at all.
"What are you looking at?"
Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes, tilting her head to look at him.
"It sounds like a power struggle within a large family," Amamiya Natsuki subtly changed the subject, "Will I be locked in a dark basement afterward?"
"Don't worry," Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head slightly, "The military has long developed a memory-loss spray. I'll let you experience it in a bit."
"Are there any side effects?"
"Your intelligence might regress to childhood levels."
"Please, you must use it on me."
...
To be able to return to childhood, this is something countless people dream of.
Shinomiya Kaguya's red eyes glared at him. She bit her lip lightly and continued:
"My mother passed away from heart disease when I was very young... Yesterday, in the horror game, someone provided information about an Earth-Bound Spirit, which made me a little concerned."
So that's it.
No wonder your expression was a bit strange at the time.
The exact reason for an Earth-Bound Spirit's birth is still unknown, but according to popular belief, after a human dies, if they have a strong reluctance to leave or an unfulfilled wish, they might become an Earth-Bound Spirit.
So... what was Mrs. Shimizu's reluctance?
Shinomiya Kaguya's face was calm as she silently watched Mrs. Shimizu by the distant French window, and continued:
"I came over yesterday afternoon and happened to see Mother standing by the window."
"Did you talk to Auntie yesterday?"
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly asked.
"No," Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, "I don't know what would happen if I talked to Mother."
Another half-sentence remained in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart.
So many years had passed. Now, suddenly seeing her mother as an Earth-Bound Spirit, she didn't know what to say.
"What a pity."
Amamiya Natsuki felt a bit regretful.
If he knew what would happen if he talked to Mrs. Shimizu, he could go back and claim credit from Miko.
"Yesterday evening, when I was about to leave, I suddenly saw a very strange scythe evil spirit," Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in her wine-red pupils. She said coldly, "That scythe-wielding evil spirit hunts other evil spirits and is quite dangerous."
What to do when facing danger?
Naturally, one must nip the opponent in the bud.
No matter what, she would not allow that evil spirit to harm Mother. Directly banishing it was Shinomiya Kaguya's choice.
"Understood."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly.
There are many types of evil spirits in the real world, and their relationships are not always harmonious. Evil spirits often get into arguments and fights, especially the 'little old men' at the bottom of the evil spirit world, who are even caught by some powerful evil spirits to be roasted.
Shinomiya Kaguya silently watched Mrs. Shimizu in the distance, and whispered:
"I don't know if that scythe evil spirit is here. If not, we'll come back tomorrow."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Amamiya Natsuki suddenly said in a faint tone:
"Are you talking about that evil spirit?"
From the shadows in the corner, a black-cloaked evil spirit suddenly appeared, holding a large scythe. The edges of its cloak, like mist, continuously drifted into the air, resembling the Grim Reaper from Western mythology.
As the scythe evil spirit appeared, the air instantly grew cold.
Mrs. Shimizu, in her Earth-Bound Spirit state, quickly stood up, a look of panic on her pretty face, as she nervously backed away.
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face tensed, and she quickly said, "Natsuki-kun."
"Understood."
Amamiya Natsuki stepped forward and immediately activated his Evil Spirit Banishing Aura.
Transparent flames quickly ignited on the scythe evil spirit, but the flames burned noticeably slowly, unlike the Head Evil Spirit that liked to hide in refrigerators, which would be completely incinerated in a breath.
A cold, hoarse roar echoed in the air, making one's scalp tingle.
The scythe evil spirit quickly retreated, passing through the wall and disappearing.
At the same time, Mrs. Shimizu finally noticed the two people secretly peeking, her eyes widened slightly, and her face showed expressions of surprise and curiosity.
"Let's go," Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and averted her gaze.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, then suddenly saw Mrs. Shimizu walking over.
The two went downstairs, pretending not to see her.
Mrs. Shimizu quickly walked up to the two, tilted her head to look at Shinomiya Kaguya, her expression a mix of confusion and doubt, then extended a slender finger and poked...
Amamiya Natsuki felt a slight chill on his face and was instantly speechless.
Madam, your eyesight is terrible!
Your daughter is right next to you, why are you poking someone else?!
"Wait."
Amamiya Natsuki suddenly realized.
Why did he feel Mrs. Shimizu's cold body temperature?
And what was with the feeling of electric currents colliding?
Unlike the Vengeful Spirits in the game, evil spirits in the real world are only visible but have no physical presence.
As long as you pretend not to see them, you can completely pass through an evil spirit's body as if it were nothing.
However, Mrs. Shimizu in front of him was completely different.
The next moment.
A complex magic circle simultaneously appeared beneath Amamiya Natsuki and Mrs. Shimizu's feet. As the light flickered slightly, a sudden realization dawned on Amamiya Natsuki.
At the same time.
Mrs. Shimizu's confused eyes suddenly cleared. She also sensed the connection in the Dark, and spoke for the first time, her voice melodious, like the music of an orchestra, clear and pleasant:
...Master."
"Ma-Master?!"
Shinomiya Kaguya's breathing hitched. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Forgetting that Mrs. Shimizu was right beside her, she abruptly turned to look at Amamiya Natsuki.
She definitely didn't mishear.
Mother just called him Master!
"Kaguya-san, let me explain," Amamiya Natsuki's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly said, "Just now, your mother voluntarily formed a contract and became my Guardian Spirit."
I never intended to turn your mother into a Guardian Spirit, it was completely your mother's initiative!
"Eh, Kaguya-san?" Mrs. Shimizu was startled, her gaze falling on Shinomiya Kaguya's face, her eyes curious, "Her name is exactly the same as my daughter's."
"Don't look," Amamiya Natsuki sighed, "She is your daughter."
"Eh eh eh?"
Mrs. Shimizu raised a hand to cover her mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Kaguya-chan was only three years old, how did she become an adult in the blink of an eye?"
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at Kaguya-san, and whispered:
"Good news: you can now freely act spoiled with Mrs. Shimizu."
