If Sakurai and Yotsuya Miko had not intervened in yesterday's situation, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been for his family.
Not to mention...
The same thing happened last night.
When he thought about the "thing" that his family encountered on the road after they came out of the police station last night.
Baoyue’s father was terrified.
If it weren't for the gift this young man gave to their daughter, their family might have already...
If you count it this way, they were rescued twice.
I must express my gratitude to my savior. With this thought in mind, today, after Baoyue's father asked for leave from the company, he immediately invited Sakurai out.
"Nothing, I just did what I wanted to do."
"Compared to this, how about it, are you protected?"
“Important family.”
Squatting down, Sakurai softly asked Baoyue Yexiao, who had been twisting her body since she saw him.
"Well, good job!"
Bao Yue Ye Xiao gave a thumbs up vigorously, and his skull-like eyes sparkled.
Last night, on the way home, she used the gift Sakurai gave her to smash the black thing into pieces.
"is it?"
"Well done."
"Very impressive, you protected your important family members."
Sakurai ruffled Baoyue Yexiao's hair and praised her for the time being.
"Well, if you don't mind, please sit down first."
Pushing her husband who was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Baoyue's mother, who didn't get a response, tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"it is good."
"Sakurai, Sakurai Eito, just call me Sakurai."
After thinking about it, Sakurai followed the guidance of his heart and went around behind Baoyue Night Snack.
Sakurai put his hands around her waist and picked up Baoyue Yexiao, who was quietly complaining about the strange name, and motioned for her to lead the way.
The little carrot-head flapped her short legs a few times and struggled for a while, but she was unable to escape from Sakurai's hands, so she finally gave up struggling and obediently led Sakurai the way.
After that, the four of them came into a private room.
Sakurai and the other three sat down in order. The Baoyue couple sat together, while next to Sakurai sat Xiao Yexiu, who was twisting and turning restlessly.
"Thank you again, Sakurai-san, for saving my life. Otherwise, I don't know what I should have done."
Considering Sakurai's underage status, Baoyue's father did not drink, but raised a glass of juice and drank it all.
"It seems that you must have encountered something very interesting last night. Would you like to tell us about it?"
Sakurai asked softly, noticing something from the other person's expression.
Then he pressed down the head of Baoyue Yexiao, who was sitting on his lap, and signaled her to behave herself.
For some reason, this child was too friendly to me. I put her aside, but she secretly climbed onto my lap when I wasn't paying attention.
It can be said to be quite outrageous.
"Hey hey hey."
The midnight snack that was disliked by Sakurai raised his right hand and shook it twice, trying to get away with it.
After looking at each other, Baoyue's father finally spoke.
"Last night..."
"We were attacked by [Goblins]."
Sakurai learned what happened from Baoyue's father's description.
It was probably that after the family accompanied the driver to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation, they were attacked by the "Hanged Ghost" on their way home.
Um...
It's the same kind of ghost that Sakurai encountered for the first time.
So, it can be said that this family and Sakurai have a connection that is a bit too much.
Anyway, the result was when they were almost killed.
Baoyue Yexiao used the crowbar stained with Sakurai's blood to protect his family well.
"Really?"
“It was pretty much what I expected.”
Sakurai had already anticipated this after noticing the existence of [Void] yesterday.
There is something very special about this family.
Considering Kongwang's purpose, is she the one being targeted?
Sakurai looked at Baoyue's mother who was sipping juice silently.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sakurai, can you help us?"
"We will also pay the commission fee and other things."
As a person with high emotional intelligence, Baoyue's father did not look down on Sakurai because of his age. Instead, he immediately placed Sakurai in a position higher than himself.
He had absolutely no way to deal with supernatural forces, so he sincerely and earnestly sought Sakurai's help.
Without agreeing or refusing, Sakurai picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Xiao Yexiu, and then talked about the [true identity] of the guy who had targeted this family.
"The one who targeted your family, or more precisely, your wife, was God."
"Have you heard of it?"
"The story of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
"The last dawn in the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade Picture Scroll', the void between days, the black sphere revealed by the sun."
"That is, the sun that appeared at the end of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade and burned all the monsters to ashes."
"It is He who is targeting your family."
"The name of the Void is an indescribable [god], an extremely yin entity that is the manifestation of the dark sun."
"If I'm not mistaken, He wants to [be born], and you are the chosen mother."
Looking at Baoyue's mother who was pointing at his face with a somewhat unpleasant expression, Sakurai said softly.
"I'm not 100% sure I can handle a guy like this."
Sakurai did not become complacent just because he had successfully conquered gods twice. It was as if he fought with all his might in every hunt.
He never underestimates his enemies.
Sakurai, who is self-aware, understands that, at least for now, he is not confident enough to get involved in this mess.
Immortality and foresight are completely meaningless when the gap in level between the two sides is big enough.
Now, there is a numerical gap between him and Kongwang.
This is a gap that cannot be made up no matter how many times you are resurrected.
Sakurai was prepared for this.
It is necessary to develop long-range combat capabilities.
Fortunately, he already had an idea about this.

"Sorry, we were rude."
"We'll find another way."
Hearing this, the hopeful light in Baoyue’s father’s eyes disappeared. He actually knew that he was indeed a little too fanciful.
He has no relatives or friends, so why should he risk his life for your family?
He didn't know what level of horror [Death] was.
But just the word "God" was enough to make him despair. How could their family deserve to be targeted by a being of such a level?
In this situation, he really couldn't have the nerve to ask Sakurai for help.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up just like that.
For the important family, for the beloved wife and lovely children.
He will never give up no matter how difficult it is.
I will definitely find a way to protect my family.
"You won't find a way."
"In this era, there may be strong people who can deal with the void, but you definitely can't afford the price given your situation."
Sakurai's firm words shattered Baoyue's father's already slim fantasy.
Anger surged in his heart, and Baoyue's father subconsciously clenched his fists and was about to stand up, but he felt his wife who had been holding his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he loosened his fists.
"Even so, I can't give up."
Baoyue's father smiled with difficulty, holding his wife's hand, he made up his mind, no matter what...
No matter what, he will find a way to protect his lover, the mother of his child.
Baoyue's father stood up, took out the thank-you gift he had prepared in advance, handed it to Sakurai, and prepared to leave.
Faced with a threat that might appear at any time, he really didn't have the extra energy to waste here.
Unlike Baoyue's father, Baoyue's mother had no awareness that her life was threatened from the beginning. She drank juice and looked at Sakurai and her daughter with a smile.
