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

"Is this a new member of our shrine?"

Rukawa Kaidou nodded happily.

Kuroba Asuka danced excitedly, as if she were performing a pantomime, which made Rukawa Kaidou unable to help but laugh.

She was very happy that Kuroba Asuka accepted the two new members.

Meanwhile, Kazema told Sato Shiro about what happened that day.

Sato Shiro looked at the ninja Mei standing next to Kazesawa Makoto and was still somewhat worried.

But since things have already come to this, he can only accept it.

Feng Zejian looked at Mei, wondering how to arrange things for him.

Because of Mei's age, experiences, and gender, Feng Zejian said softly:

“Mei, I will be leaving here soon, but you can stay here. You are not very old and have no parents. This is an orphanage, and this will be your home from now on.”

“You are very capable, so I would like to ask you to take charge of the reconnaissance mission around the orphanage. Report any unusual activity to our director, Mr. Sato Shiro.”

"If Rukawa Kaitou goes out, I will need your protection."

Mei nodded and said calmly, "I understand."

"Dean, give Mei a room. From now on, she'll be one of us."

Sato Shiro stood up.

"Let's go and see this new member's new room."

Mei glanced at Feng Zejian, seemingly unintentionally. From the moment before, Feng Zejian had been saying things she couldn't understand.

Home, please, trouble, even though I'm just someone who barely survives, or rather, meat on a chopping board.

Why did he use such words? They sound really strange to me.

The two followed Sato Shiro to a room and handed the key to Mei.

"It's your room, so you can have it."

Mei took the key, and for some reason, her heart, which should have been calm, was now filled with excitement.

She never imagined that her ordinary fate would be so drastically changed because of this mission.

Mei subconsciously inserted the key to unlock the door and opened it by holding the doorknob.

The room inside is nearly 40 square meters. Moonlight streams in, and there are only some basic facilities, so it looks quite spacious.

Mei couldn't help but walk inside.

Honestly, she found it hard to believe that this spacious and bright room belonged to her.

I never knew I could live in a room like this.

As a ninja, Mei was taught to prioritize missions and to use any means necessary to achieve her goals. She also lived in cramped and dark places.

A ninja is someone who lives in the shadows; in fact, they might not even be considered human.

Just then, Mei heard footsteps outside and turned around to look.

Kazema and Makoto Ito walked in carrying pillows, sheets, and blankets.

Mei instinctively turned to the side to let the two big men pass by.

The two big men put the things on the sofa, put a layer on the thin mattress on the bed, and then spread the sheet evenly on top.

Put on a pillow and a blanket, and the bed is ready for sleeping.

Just then, a little girl poked her head out from outside the door.

The little girl looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, and she was holding a rabbit doll.

Kazema and Sato looked over.

He remembered this child; her name was Ashida Megumi. Sato Shiro told him that she had been a new student for the past two weeks.

My father went to jail, my mother ran away with someone else, and my grandfather died in a car accident. The compensation money was taken by relatives, but they didn't want to take care of me, so I sent him here.

Even Sato Shiro couldn't stand this situation, so he simply accepted it.

He's in pretty good spirits, but he's having some trouble fitting in here.

This kind of thing can't be done overnight; it can only be done slowly.

Mei and the little girl looked at each other. The little girl walked in from outside the room and looked around curiously.

"Sister, are you new here too?"

Mei was taken aback.

"That's it."

"Sister, this place is very nice, you will like it."

As he spoke, he handed his rabbit doll to Mei.

"Here, sister, this is my bed partner."

"Why should I give it to you?"

Ashida Mei answered without hesitation in her childish voice.

"I was worried that my sister wouldn't sleep well on her first day here, so I was one of them."

"But I'm fine now that I have a bedmate. I think I can sleep well now. So the little bunny should be left to someone who needs it. Although I'm also very reluctant, both I and the little bunny will be happy if my sister can have a good night's sleep on her first day here."

Mei took the little rabbit and gently stroked it.

"Thank you."

Ashida Mei smiled.

"Grandpa said that we should be good children who are always willing to help others. I'm going back now, see you tomorrow."

Ashida Mei waved her hand and ran away from Mei's sight.

Mei looked at the little rabbit doll in her hand, a rare smile appearing on her lips.

Kazema and Sato Shiro exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

After making the bed, the two left the room.

Before that, Feng Zejian reminded him:

"Many things here are still unopened, so remember to open them before you use them. Breakfast is at 7:00 AM tomorrow, lunch is at 11:00 AM, and dinner is at 5:00 PM. The location is the cafeteria on the east side, a standalone building, and the first floor is very obvious."

"If you have any questions, my room is at the far left after you go out the door. The dean's room is the same one as before. Feel free to contact us anytime. Get some rest, goodnight."

Feng Zejian slowly closed the door.

Now the room was quiet. This room, which Mei considered quite spacious and bright, belonged entirely to her.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the elasticity and softness of which she had never experienced before, the rabbit in her hand still retained the warmth of the little girl.

The moonlight shone on the rabbit and herself, giving them both a silvery-white glow.

At that moment, water droplets fell onto his leg.

Mei looked up and found that the ceiling was not leaking.

Then she realized it was her own tears.

She didn't even know why she was crying, even though she hadn't felt anything.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Mei, a ninja by nature, instantly became alert. She put the little rabbit doll away, drew a kunai from her waist, and walked toward the door.

"who."

"I am Feng Zejian."

Upon hearing that it was Feng Zejian, Mei relaxed her guard and opened the door.

Kaze took a set of pajamas and some late-night snacks that he had snatched from Kuroba Asuka.

"These are clothes for sleeping, and this is some food I bought at the night market. You can eat some if you're hungry."

Mei reached out and took the kunai from Feng Zejian's hand.

Chapter 330 Because his poop smells really bad, he's called Stinky.

Mei seemed flustered and explained, "No, I..."

"Yes, I know. Protecting yourself from harm is no problem. To borrow the words of that little girl, this place is very nice. You will like it here."

Goodnight really this time.

Feng Zejian closed the door, leaving Mei with her private space.

Mei opened the window, letting the night breeze blow in. Looking at the clean pajamas, she took off her blood-stained night clothes, untied the bandages that bound the girl's beauty, and that beauty immediately bounced up like a stubborn spring.

What Fengze brought over was a Pikachu onesie pajama.

Mei stood before the mirror, looking at her reflection—a reflection that had lost some of its murderous aura and gained more of a cuteness—and murmured:

"I think I've already fallen in love with this place."

Mei lay on the bed, hugging her rabbit doll, and closed her eyes.

"Good night."

The next day, when Fengzejian came to the cafeteria for breakfast, he saw Mei and Ashida Mei sitting together, eating breakfast together.

Feng Zejian got a plate of rice and sat down.

"How did you sleep? Did you sleep well?"

"Ah."

Mei remained as taciturn as ever.

Ashida Mei's little face blossomed with a smile.

"Little Rabbit has done a great job that allows Sister to sleep well."

"You've done a great job giving the little bunny to your older sister."

"Hehe, I also made a great contribution."

Looking at the children eating together in the cafeteria, Mei couldn't help but ask, "These people too...?"

Feng Zejian nodded slightly.

"Some lost their parents early, some were abandoned by their parents, their situations are different, but they are all similar."

Mei didn't say anything more.

After finishing her meal, Mei glanced at Feng Zejian.

"I went out to collect folk songs."

Feng Zejian understood Mei's meaning.

Ashida Mei blinked her big eyes as she looked at Mei.

"Sister, can I come with you?"

Mei hesitated.

But looking at Ashida Mei's cute little face and those unusually persistent big eyes...

"Then don't cause trouble."

"Yes, I'm very obedient."

Ashida Mei took Mei's hand, which surprised Mei for a moment.

However, things quickly returned to normal.

Feng Zejian watched the two figures as they walked away, a smile appearing on his face.

Kazesawa threw away the plate and rushed to the shrine.

As soon as I entered the shrine, I saw Kuroba Asuka fighting with a husky for a cushion.
