I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

An Lin nodded, then bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. How can I make up for the hurt I've caused you?"

"No need. Instead of trying to make up for the harm you've done to me, you should think about how to make up for the harm you've done to Ming. I have a patient here and need some peace and quiet. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave."

"excuse me."

As he spoke, he took out an elegant business card.

"This is my business card. I work at the embassy. Please call me if you need any help."

Feng Zejian accepted it. "I will."

Anlin left with the relieved foreigner.

Honestly, it all felt like a dream.

You can even find gossip while eating a meal.

Kazema looked at Kana Kumagai beside him.

Were you scared?

Kumagai Kana chuckled.

“I said, am I really that vulnerable? And why are you being so gentle with me?”

Feng Zejian was speechless.

"You are..."

Feng Zejian couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say.

Kana Kumagai looked at Kazesawa with a smile.

"It is what."

"I'll talk to you when you're better."

"Then you just wait, I won't be better for at least a month."

Feng Zejian smiled.

"It's only been a month, not a long time. What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Kumagai Kana was stunned for a moment.

"What arrangements can I make?"

"We can't stay here forever. Let me push you and we'll go for a walk."

Kana Kumagai nodded.

"What you said makes sense."

Kana Kumagai thought for a moment.

"How about we go to sweep the tombs tomorrow?"

Whose grave are we sweeping?

"My former comrade-in-arms."

"it is good."

The two finalized their plans for tomorrow with just a few words.

At this point, Kana Kumagai asked again, "So what are we going to do today?"

Kazema tilted his head, looking at Kumagai Kana with a puzzled expression.

"what you up to."

Kana Kumagai tentatively asked, "Make?"

"Are you addicted?"

Kana Kumagai smiled without saying a word.

Feng Zejian sighed. This is how women of this age are.

"Ugh."

Kumagai Kana snorted coldly.

"What, is it too much of a burden for you to be with me?"

"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged."

After tidying up the dining table, Kazema began to serve Kana Kumagai.

From serving her on the chair to serving her on the bed.

Kazema could sense that Kana Kumagai's strength was much greater than when she first woke up.

The next day, Kazema helped Kana Kumagai change her clothes and took her out.

The wheelchair was placed in the trunk, and the person sat in the front passenger seat.

Feng Zejian seemed to have seen this scene before on other people.

The cemetery that Kana Kumagai mentioned is a very remote cemetery, and it's not even in Tokyo.

The drive took six or seven hours.

Once we arrived at our destination, there was a flower shop right outside.

Kazema pushed Kumagai Kana inside and bought a lot of flowers.

There are quite a lot of them, not because they have money to burn, but because there are too many people who want to see them.

Kana Kumagai was holding a large bouquet of flowers, with some more on her lap.

Feng Zejian pushed slowly from behind.

Guided by Kana Kumagai, the two arrived at the innermost part of the cemetery.

"There are rows of tombstones standing here, and some areas are empty."

As Kana Kumagai looked at the rows of tombstones, a touch of melancholy appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"You brat, do you know that my former comrades are buried here?"

“This cemetery used to be empty. We pooled our money to buy this area, and we made a pact that whoever died first would be buried here.”

"The Yin-Yang Bureau is shrouded in darkness, but the comrades who sleep here are like fireflies in the darkness, faintly emitting light."

"We cannot dispel the darkness of the Yin-Yang Bureau, but we will shine until the very end."

“We are all children raised by the Onmyoryo (Yin-Yang Bureau), and we have a special feeling for it. One of the lessons we learned was about the history of the Onmyoryo. Back then, the Onmyoryo existed to save humanity.”

"And we regard this as our life's mission."

Kana Kumagai remained silent for a while.

"But some things are far more complicated and dark than we imagine."

“We are beginning to face choices: some will fall into darkness together, some will remain indifferent, and some will struggle in the darkness.”

“I, Fujiwara Yuuji, and Yoko, the three of us have been together since we were little. Because he was the only male, he was always the one who got bullied. Of course, I was the only one who bullied him, but Yoko still took good care of him.”

Chapter 460 A Long Talk at the Cemetery

"As we gradually came into contact with the darkness of the Yin-Yang Bureau, the three of us made different choices. The calm and gentle Ye Zi chose to fight back, the hot-tempered and reckless me chose to remain silent, and the sunny and cheerful him chose to fall into the darkness."

“We were used as tools, doing things against our conscience, either directly or indirectly, but Yezi gradually discovered some clues and the meaning behind our actions.”

"Ye Zi began to explore on her own. She got closer and closer to the dark truth. She broke the taboo, and the consequence was that she was swallowed by the darkness and her soul was banished to the leaf-viewing area."

"Ye Zi's death made me, someone who was not involved, suddenly realize something. Or perhaps it wasn't an realization, but rather that I felt that if I didn't do something, Ye Zi's death would be meaningless."

"So I embarked on that path to get closer to the truth again. And this is how it turned out."

A look of sorrow flashed in Kana Kumagai's eyes, and she sighed softly.

"Alas, our strength was ultimately too small, but I don't regret doing it, even if you hadn't come, even if I had died there in the end. Some things we know will not have a result, and the result will be wrong, but we still do them, just for the sake of that pride in our hearts."

"Use your immature head to bang against the wall until you're bleeding and broken before you're willing to believe that you can't actually change anything."

"It was less of a struggle and more of a complete loss of hope."

"Only after experiencing something like that can one appreciate how wonderful it is to live in the sunshine now."

"Only when I can feel your body temperature and breathing do I truly understand what it means to feel at ease."

"Honestly, if I could go back in time and learn that unbearable truth, I would choose to back out."

Feng Zejian looked at the little bird that had landed on a tombstone and slowly said:

"But even if you went back to the past, you wouldn't be able to convince your past self."

"Humans are stubborn creatures. They always think they are the only ones who can turn the tide. But they don't realize that every reversal has a foundation, a reason, and a condition."

Feng Zejian placed flowers in front of each tombstone, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to express his respect.

Everyone here died for humanity.

Their deaths may be insignificant to the Yin-Yang Bureau, but at this moment, their existence is still remembered.

Kana Kumagai leaned forward and reached out to wipe the tombstone, with Kazema following suit.

After a while, a light rain began to fall.

Kazema pushed Kumagai Kana to a sheltered spot with eaves to avoid the rain.

Just then, a person wearing a hooded jacket arrived in the area in the light rain. Upon seeing the flowers in front of the tombstone, the person was clearly taken aback.

Kana Kumagai immediately recognized the person's true identity.

“Ambitious, this way.”

Fujiwara Takeshi turned to look at the two people who were taking shelter from the rain and walked over.

Upon approaching the two men, Fujiwara Takeshi removed his hooded jacket.

At this moment, Fujiwara Yushi was a completely different person from that day. He was no longer dejected, and he no longer had the same spirit he had when he first met Kazesawa. He seemed to have matured a lot.

Fujiwara Takeshi slowly said:

"At first I was quite curious, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that no one else here knows about this place except you."

Kana Kumagai sized up Takeshi Fujiwara.

"Judging from your appearance, did you just get back?"

Fujiwara Yushi nodded.

"Well, I just came back."

"Is the Yin-Yang Bureau not taking any action?"

Fujiwara Yushi took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"I have resigned unilaterally, and there are some things I feel are necessary to do."

"That's very good."

Fujiwara Yushi glanced at Kumagai Kana.

"How is the recovery going?"

"is acceptable."

Fujiwara Yushi looked at the rows of tombstones, and the tombstones in the middle section caught his attention.

"Shouldn't that spot be mine? Who took it?"

Kana Kumagai laughed and said, "That's Yuuyu's place. You forgot? You were the one who said you wanted to give it to her."

Fujiwara Takeshi suddenly realized.

"Oh right, how could I forget? We were at an impasse for quite a while because of that spot."

"In the end, a rule was set: whoever dies first will be buried in that place."

"Haha, even cemetery plots are being fought over, that's really hilarious."
