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

"You've come all the way to this remote, impoverished place to be the director of an orphanage. Who would even remember you? Don't waste your energy."

Sato Shiro's smile was forced and insincere.

Although it's unpleasant to hear, it's the truth.

"I do know a place, but you know, it's very dangerous. Back when I was still at the Yin-Yang Bureau, it was a forbidden area. But as long as you step into that area, there's no problem. No one will provoke you. Of course, even if someone accidentally wanders in, as long as they don't have any malicious intent and aren't too curious to go deeper, they'll generally be fine."

Feng Zejian nodded. "If that's the case, then the creature inside is quite intelligent and has a strong sense of territory."

Where is that place?

"forget."

Feng Zejian's lips twitched.

"After saying all that, you've already forgotten."

Sato Shiro gave an awkward laugh.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I didn't have a strong impression of that place to begin with."

Chapter 161 What are you doing?

Sato Shiro added:

"And it's already quite impressive that they can remember it after so many years."

Feng Zejian sighed.

You must know that name.

Sato Shiro was taken aback.

"Just wait for me to think about it."

Feng Zejian's eyelids twitched.

Sato Shiro began to use his few remaining brain cells to think.

"The Tomb of Resentful Blades, that should be the name."

Feng Zejian pondered.

"Who came up with this name? It sounds awful."

"There's actually a legend behind this name."

Upon hearing that there was some juicy gossip, Feng Zejian pricked up his ears and listened intently.

"That place was originally nothing special, except that a knife thief killed a craftsman's entire family for the craftsman's famous knife. However, the famous knife had a spirit and was tainted by the resentment of the craftsman's entire family."

"The thief took the famous sword to that place, but was killed by the sword itself."

"Although the thief is dead, many people have heard that there is a famous sword there, so they all went to try it, and without exception, they all died."

Sato Shiro couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, they should have realized long ago that the moment a famous sword became tainted with the swordsmith's resentment, it had already become a cursed sword."

"Since then, people have tried to take on the challenge, but few have survived. They either went mad or became crippled. In short, none of them had a good ending. However, there aren't many fools like that, but there are always some fools who choose to try it out."

Feng Zejian felt like he was being targeted.

Are you implying something about me?

Sato Shiro remained silent.

"After that, that place was fenced off and isolated. Later, people threw uncontrollable demon swords into that place. The demon swords gathered together, and people would feel unwell if they got close. Some people could even hear mournful cries coming from somewhere. That's how the Tomb of Vengeful Swords came about."

Feng Zejian nodded.

"That really is a terrifying place. I really want to go and see it."

Sato Shiro couldn't help but laugh.

"You really are an idiot."

"There are too many smart people in this world, so fools have become a necessity. And haven't you heard the saying that fools are lucky?"

Sato Shiro shook his head. "Never heard of it."

Feng Zejian didn't react much, but instead started searching.

Sato Shiro looked at Kazesawa Mako's strange behavior with some confusion.

"What are you looking for, kid?"

Kazema found vacuum-packed hot pot ingredients under Sato's bed, and also found meatballs and fish roe pouches in the refrigerator.

"As you can see, I'm not full, I need another meal."

Sato felt a pang of heartache.

"These are all my secret stashes. Even that tomboy couldn't find them, but you found them, kid."

Feng Zejian smiled and shrugged.

"I can only say that it's all fate."

Sato Shiro sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"I'll go get another bowl; I can't let you do all the work for me."

Sato Shiro brought back a set of bowls and chopsticks, and Kaze Sawama had almost finished preparing everything, just waiting for the water to boil so they could cook the food.

The two sat around a small table, quietly waiting for the food in the pot to cook.

Feng Zejian couldn't wait to pick up a potato.

Kazema's favorite food is these slightly undercooked potato slices, which are crunchy.

Sato Shiro is different; he likes noodles, so he chooses to wait and eat something else.

Just then, Sato Shiro's door was violently pushed open.

The sound of a black-feathered bird came from above.

"Uncle, have you missed me these past few days?"

Sato Shiro's lips twitched. He had seen him just yesterday, and even if they hadn't seen each other for a few days, he couldn't possibly miss this tomboy.

At that moment, Kuroba Asuka saw the steaming hot pot, and her expression froze instantly.

Suddenly, Sato Shiro thought of something, looked at the hot pot, and then looked at Kuroba Asuka.

They immediately stood protectively in front of the hot pot.

"I haven't been able to protect many things in my life, but I won't lose them this time."

In the blink of an eye, Kuroba Asuka appeared behind Sato Shiro, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to show off wildly.

Sato Shiro quickly intervened.

"You tomboy, the shrine has so many offerings, why do you have to pick mine to ruin them?"

As Black Feather Bird ate, he said, "What can I do? Your food just tastes better. And you didn't invite me to eat hot pot, so this is my punishment."

Even with Sato Shiro already holding Kuroba Asuka by the throat, Kuroba Asuka was still eating.

However, Kuroba Asuka still possessed martial virtue.

She didn't move much over there, but poor Sato Shiro didn't get a hot meal for two days in a row.

He watched helplessly as the bandit Kuroba Asuka devoured all his meatballs in his hot pot.

Just as Kazesawa was about to pick up the last bit of greens, Kuroba Asuka mimicked Kazesawa's previous action.

That is, holding the pot and drinking the hot pot soup.

This move completely extinguished Sato Shiro's last hope.

Black Feather Bird, baring a large tooth covered in vegetables, laughed heartily at Sato Shiro.

Helpless, Sato Shiro reached out to Kuroba Asuka.

Kuroba Asuka blushed.

"What are you doing?"

Sato Shiro frowned.

"Don't move, open your mouth."

Upon hearing this, Black Feather Bird did not resist, but blushed and opened its mouth.

Sato took the green vegetable.

"Honestly, they can't even eat properly."

Kaze looked at Kuroba Asuka, whose face was flushed, and then at Sato Shiro.

That tomboy wouldn't do that.

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

Sato went to open the door.

It's those older kids who came back.

"Dean, we're showing a movie, don't you want to come and watch?"

Sato Shiro frowned and ruffled the hair of the big kid in front of him.

"Kid, what's so good about the movie?"

"It's a movie starring Kazesawa-san."

Feng Zejian was stunned for a moment. Was this movie already out of theaters so soon?

It seems like a long time has passed already.

Upon hearing that it was a movie by Kazesawa, Sato Shiro immediately became interested.

"Let's go and see the superstar who came out of our orphanage, Feng Zejian's debut work."

Black Feather Bird also raised its hand.

"I also need to go."

With that, he pulled Feng Zejian along and they walked away.

"Hey, why are you pulling me?"

"The more people there are for this kind of event, the better, let's hurry."

Feng Zejian was quite helpless; it seemed that the death of the company was inevitable.

The group arrived at the multimedia classroom, where all the older children were gathered.

After all, it's not good to let those kids watch this kind of romance movie, and these older kids understand that too.

Seeing the group arrive, the older children excitedly prepared for the screening.

Kazema deliberately sat on the side, while Kuroba Asuka pulled Sato Shiro to sit with her.

Although it might be a public spectacle, I'd still be willing to watch Tori and Aoi again, since it's truly a great work.

A huge projection screen was lowered, everyone turned off the lights, and the film began to play.

Everyone watched very attentively.

Especially the black-feathered birds.

She had only been in the human world for a short time and was very curious about everything; this was also the first time she had seen things in this way.

Chapter 162 Eat up, it's not like I can't afford to feed you.

The story of the male and female protagonists meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and parting ways.

If you put yourself in her shoes, isn't she just like that wounded bird?

And they are birds in the truest sense of the word.

Kuroba Asuka glanced at Sato Shiro.
