Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, a rare look of confusion appeared in Makoto Fukami's eyes.
He looked down at his hands and muttered to himself:
"I have nothing but my sister, I don't know what I can give you."
Lu Chen rubbed his chin and said:
"Then give me your sister and let her marry me, how about that?"
ah? ! !
Makoto Fukami lifted the tower, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Then, a coquettish voice came from Makoto Fukami's pocket.
"This, isn't this not good?"
Seeing the astonished look on Makoto Fukami's face, Lu Chen laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said:
"Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously."
Makoto Shinkai breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Although I am the older brother, I cannot decide my sister's marriage. So even if you are serious, I cannot agree to it unless my sister really likes you and is willing to marry you."
From Makoto Fukami's pocket came the voice of his sister, moved with emotion:
"Brother...you're so kind..."
283 Lu Chen waved his hand and said:
"Alright, alright, let's save the brother-sister romance for after your sister is resurrected. How about this, I'll help you resurrect your sister, and from now on you'll be my little brother,"
"Little brother?" Makoto Fukami paused for a moment.
Makoto Fukami had never even considered becoming someone's subordinate before.
But the thought that he could save his sister and help her recover by becoming this man's underling made Makoto Fukami agree without hesitation.
"Don't even mention making me your underling; I'd do anything, even be your slave, to bring my sister back to life."
Chapter 229 Lu Chen's next words stunned all three of them.
Lu Chen shook his head and smiled:
"I'm not some slave owner, I wouldn't be forced to be a slave to someone."
After saying that, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and beckoned to Makoto Fukami:
"Then give me your very soul."
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Makoto Fukami's eyes. After all, he had painstakingly collected his Eye Souls, and he was still somewhat worried about handing them over just like that.
Lu Chen immediately saw through Makoto Fukami's worries and smiled:
"You're worried I'm a scammer trying to trick you out of your eye souls? Seriously, if I wanted your eye souls, I'd just defeat you and take them all."
"Don't even mention you alone, even if you add Tenkuji Takeru together, the two of you together wouldn't be a match for me."
Upon hearing this, the hesitation in Makoto Shinkai's eyes vanished instantly, because he knew that Lu Chen was probably right; if he wanted his Eye Soul, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
Therefore, Makoto Fukami decisively took out his only four Eyecones from his pocket and gave them all to Lu Chen, keeping only the Eyecon for transformation.
“I understand. Thank you for your willingness to save my sister, Mr. Lu Chen.”
"Go back and wait for good news. Next time we meet in the transit group interview, remember to call me ⑦⑦02⑦O⑦ ⑤ ④ Old 29-119."
After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and walked towards the Sky Temple Master.
Watching Lu Chen leave, Makoto Fukami sighed softly and asked his sister:
"Little sister, don't you think your brother is too trusting of others?"
My sister's voice came from her eyes:
"No, although I don't know why, I also think he is trustworthy. Maybe he really can collect all the Eye Souls."
Makoto Fukami murmured to himself, "I hope you won't disappoint me, Lu Chen."
On the other side, Lu Chen came to Tenkuji-zun and handed over all four Eye Souls in his hand.
"Here you go, Makoto Fukami's soul is right here."
Upon seeing the Eye Soul in Lu Chen's hand, Tenkuji Mikoto, Tsukimura Akari, and Yamauchi Misaki were all stunned.
Yamauchi Misaki covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise:
"How... how did he do that? Did he give you his entire eye soul?"
Seeing Lu Chen nod, Tsukimura Akari gasped and then asked:
"You didn't beat him up and then threaten him to hand over all your Eye Souls, did you?"
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and complained:
"What are you saying? Do you think I'm such a violent person?"
Tenkuuji-sensei frowned, utterly puzzled. How did Lu Chen manage to obtain Makoto Fukami's Eye Soul?
Lu Chen's next words stunned all three of them:
"All of Makoto Fukami's Eye Souls are here. I'm entrusting them to you for safekeeping, Takeru Tenkuji. But you need to think carefully about how to use these Eye Souls. Makoto Fukami is collecting Eye Souls to revive his sister. His sister, Kanon, has lost her body, just like you. Her soul is residing in an Eye Soul. If she can't be revived soon, Makoto Fukami's sister will die completely."
"What? Let me have it!"
Upon hearing this, Tenkuji Takeru's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He finally understood why his childhood friend had become his enemy.
It turns out that everything was for the sake of saving Kanon!
Chapter 230 Dr. Igarashi's death left the three of them in a bad mood.
"I see, no wonder Makoto Fukami was so ruthless when he attacked."
Akari Tsukimura chimed in, saying that she finally understood Makoto Fukami's predicament.
Even Yamauchi Misaki couldn't help but sigh:
"What a great older brother he is."
Tenkuuji no Mikoto thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Chen with a firm gaze and said:
"I want to revive Makoto Fukami's sister."
Upon hearing Tenkuji Takeru's decision, Tsukimura Akari and Yamauchi Misaki, who were standing nearby, both expressed their disagreement.
Akari Tsukimura was the first to speak:
"What will you do if you revive Makoto's sister from Deep Sea 283? There's not much time left until the 99-day deadline."
Yamauchi Misaki also joined in trying to dissuade them:
“Your Highness, I know it may not be appropriate for a monk to say this, but I hope you will consider your own situation first. You have worked so hard to collect these few Eye Souls, are you really going to just hand over the chance of resurrection to someone else?”
"I......"
Tenkuuji Takeru hesitated for a moment. He knew that collecting the Eye Souls was not only his own effort. Tsukimura Akari, Yamauchi Misaki, Riku Chen, Shirase Mariko, and others had also contributed a lot and helped him a great deal.
So, faced with the advice of Akari Tsukimura and Mikuri Yamauchi, Takeru Tenkuji was at a loss for words.
Finally, Tenkuji-sama could only look at Lu Chen, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Lu Chen's answer was:
"There's no need to rush to revive anyone, since there are only 9 Eye Souls here right now, and we still need 6 more to fulfill a wish."
You can consider this issue after you've collected all fifteen Eyecones.
Tenkuji-zun felt that Lu Chen's words made sense and decided to put the issue aside for the time being.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Let's collect the remaining six Eye Souls first. It's too early to think about these issues now."
Tenkuuji nods and says.
Misaki Yamauchi reminded him from the side:
"Let's take Dr. Igarashi to the hospital first."
When Dr. Igarashi was mentioned, Takeru Tenkuji's expression immediately darkened.
"Dr. Igarashi has already..."
Lu Chen said calmly:
"You guys handle the finishing touches here, I'm going back now."
After saying that, Lu Chen opened the dimensional barrier and left without looking back.
Later, Tenkuji Takeru and the other two took care of Dr. Igarashi's funeral arrangements, sent his body to the funeral home, and then notified his family to come over before leaving and returning to Daitenkuji.
Dr. Igarashi's death left the three of them feeling uneasy. They sat down, looked at each other, and remained silent.
In the end, it was Tenkuuji Takeru who was the first to pull himself together and said:
"We have two things to do next. The first is to snatch Benkei's Eye Soul back from Guan Dao Eye Demon."
"The second is to continue investigating what happened ten years ago. Now that Dr. Igarashi is dead, the remaining breakthrough is that mysterious man in the top hat."
