Chapter 127: Changes in Ability Awakening
“Uncle Fukada, have some tea~”
In the young girl’s small room, a burly uncle in a suit sat on a small chair. In front of him, wearing casual clothes and slippers, Kazumi walked over from the kitchen, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.
The young girl’s personality was still as gentle as it was when she was a child. Although Kazumi had been very angry before, after Fukada Akihiko’s sincere apology, Kazumi quickly forgave him and returned to her obedient appearance, even helping him make a cup of hot tea in the kitchen.
“Thank you, Little Kazumi.”
Taking the teacup handed over by the girl, Fukada Akihiko, who took a sip of the ordinary cheap tea in the pure white teacup, looked satisfied. No matter how high-class the tea was, it couldn’t compare to the sentiment prepared by his own daughter.
“Uncle Fukada, why did you come here this time? I feel like you’re usually quite busy, so how come you have time to come over here in person this time?”
Looking at the exaggerated expression of the uncle in front of her, Kazumi couldn’t help but laugh. It was just ordinary tea left by her parents. Was there a need to drink it with such an expression of enjoyment?
Kazumi sat down gently on her soft bed, swinging her small feet with slippers, and asked softly.
After all, according to the girl’s expectations, Fukada Akihiko today would probably only use his ability to transfer things to her, just like the last time he teleported a corpse.
But she didn’t expect that along with this group of tombstones that came to her room was this Uncle Fukada whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Well, because the weight of these things to be teleported is quite significant, I need to be closer to this side, so I just came to find you directly. It’s also a chance to visit Little Kazumi whom I haven’t seen in a long time. What, have you forgotten about Uncle now that you have a boyfriend?”
Drinking the hot tea in his hand, Fukada Akihiko smiled heartily and teased the girl in front of him.
“Uncle Fukada!!”
Is this perhaps the common bad taste of all elders? They always like to make such jokes with their juniors, trying to see them blush when their other half is mentioned.
But it just so happened that she was really susceptible to this. As if a string in her heart was plucked, hearing her close one mention that guy Sato Shinichi made a strange sweetness well up in her heart. It seemed like she was being recognized by an elder, and her heart couldn’t help but rejoice on its own.
“Hahahaha, Little Kazumi is still so shy. Are you like this in front of your little boyfriend too?”
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand and looking at the girl who was blushing from his teasing, the smile on Fukada Akihiko’s face grew even wider.
As for the pig that had “eaten” the cabbage from his house, Fukada Akihiko, as an old father, had investigated him thoroughly a long, long time ago.
Overall, he was a very clean boy, with a good personality, family background, and appearance. Only his height was a bit below average, which might be unfavorable for future offspring. But that didn’t matter much. With the current living standards, as long as the nutritional intake during the growth period was ensured, reaching an average height was not difficult.
What was more important was that he liked Kazumi, liked her very, very much.
Actually, for Fukada Akihiko, the boy’s appearance, family background, and whether he was a psychic were all unimportant to him.
As an executive, both his wealth and connections had reached a terrifying level. It was very easy to provide for Kazumi’s family to live a wealthy life.
What he cared more about was the boy’s character, whether he had deceived Kazumi in love, and whether he would treat Kazumi well if they were together in the future.
Clearly, in this regard, this boy named Sato Shinichi did a very good job, even better than himself.
Normally, the father-in-law and son-in-law relationship doesn’t start out particularlyharmonious. Thinking about how his daughter, who had been his intimate little padded jacket for so many years, was going to snuggle into someone else’s arms, even the most open-minded father would feel upset for a long time, so how could he give his son-in-law a good look?
But towards this silly boy who gave everything for Kazumi and pulled the girl out of that gloomy darkness, Fukada Akihiko couldn’t feel any ill will, and even vaguely approved of him.
[After all, it’s thanks to that kid that I can see Kazumi smile like this here.]
Looking at the cute girl with red cheeks but an uncontrollable smile from the heart on her face, seeing her meet someone who liked her so much, he, as an elder, seemed to have no reason to stop it.
“Uncle Fukada! If you say that again, I won’t talk to you anymore!!”
Kazumi turned her shy face aside, not wanting Fukada Akihiko to misunderstand by seeing her strange expression. She said with both shyness and anger, “I’m not here to listen to you constantly teasing Sato Shinichi!”
“Let’s talk about business, let’s talk about business.”
Seeing the girl’s shy appearance, Fukada Akihiko knew when to stop. After all, there were many things to discuss, and he couldn’t delay because of this. His expression gradually became serious, and he began to speak.
“Actually, my uncle came this time because I wanted to help you check the degree of your ability awakening. After all, corpses and tombstones are not good things. I’m a bit afraid that these might affect your mind.”
[As expected, he came for the ability!]
Hearing Fukada Akihiko’s words, Kazumi’s eyes narrowed. Kazumi had guessed the real reason for Fukada Akihiko’s visit from the beginning. The biggest possibility was that he was afraid that the abilities gained from corpses and tombstones would have an impact on her mental state.
Nodding obediently, Kazumi raised her hand and summoned the [Black Coffin]. The giant coffin, emitting a faint black aura, stood in the center of the room. its pure black appearance was enough to make people’s hearts tremble.
Kazumi, who was prepared for this, had no guilt about Fukada Akihiko’s desire to investigate her abilities. Instead, she replied as if she had found a solution.
“Just in time, Uncle Fukada, if you hadn’t come, it might have been a bit inconvenient for me to put these things in!”
The jet-black coffin lid was gently lifted, revealing the interior of the coffin shrouded by a vortex of black energy, making it impossible to see the actual content.
The activated shadows lifted the tombstones one by one and threw them into the black vortex inside the coffin according to Kazumi’s instructions, as if falling into a void. Ten half-height stone tombstones were placed in the coffin. From the opening, only the constantly rotating vortex could be seen.
“Kazumi, is this okay?”
Controlling the shadows to clear away the debris from the falling stones, Fukada Akihiko asked the girl beside him, his eyes earnestly looking at Kazumi, preventing any accidents due to changes in her abilities.
“Mhm mhm mhm, Uncle Fukada helped a lot. I couldn’t move so many things by myself.”
Kazumi nodded, her face showing the joy of a child who had received her favorite toy.
“Then Kazumi, can you tell Uncle about the changes in your abilities? Or, what use is doing this for your abilities now?”
Seeing Kazumi looking so relaxed, Fukada Akihiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze back to the strange coffin not far away and couldn’t help but ask.
The young girl nodded, stared at the coffin for a good while, and finally turned around as if she had a sudden realization. She clenched her small fists and brought them to her chest, speaking earnestly.
“The use of it is to make the coffin heavier, so it will be more powerful when smashing people in the future!”
