Chapter 331, Custody
After Tamako finished reporting to the police, she gestured to Kikyo.
Nodding in understanding, he watched the kid play with Rei, Kusata, and Toshio at the shrine.
Toshio's child, Gacocon's efforts are not in vain, on the surface, there is no difference from a normal child, although it is still a little speechless, but it does not hinder normal communication.
Through the previous exchange, the child named Kikashi Kikyo also got to know each other.
His parents are not there, he is staying at a relative's house, and he is a child with low self-esteem.
I saw the bellflower from the TV, and then I came over, what are you going to do, this kid said what he meant in the bellflower's clichΓ©.
I don't want to see youkai anymore.
Kikyo was silent, and didn't say anything like whether it could be done, but smiled and introduced a little friend to Guizhi.
After all, it's a child.,Quickly forget about the troubles.,Play with the grass too.γ
Seeing the talent of the monster, Kikyo can indeed be easily sealed, but it can't change the child's situation, this kind of thing, Kikyo saw it from the beginning.
All this kid wants is a warm home.
He himself was not aware of this.
At 8 o'clock, the police came over, followed by Takashi's uncle and aunt.
The child has fallen and is already in a hurry.
The anxious look on his face can't be faked.
As soon as they met, Takashi was about to run.
Grabbed by his tall uncle, in terms of blood, he is the younger brother of Guizhi's father, and he is one of the only relatives in this world.
This man, holding Guizhi, looked very tired, and after staring at him silently, he said astringently: "It's okay." β
As for Guizhi's aunt, she didn't step forward, just stood aside, covering her mouth and sobbing fragily, with no less exhaustion and weakness on her face.
Kikyo watched from the side, and couldn't help but think that it's not only Guizhi who works hard, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
According to normal reasoning, if the couple's child dares to run away from home like this, there is no doubt that it will be exchanged for a violent beating from the couple.
Precisely, Guizhi is not their biological child, and many things cannot be done at all.
He didn't even say the words of reproach, and gently let go of Takashi's mistake this time.
The child was recovered, and the man, who was the adoptive father, brought his wife and Takashi over to thank Kikyo.
"Thank you very much for the help of Miko-sama." Almost choked up and said such words, the man who was not good at words did not continue, and bowed silently with his wife to thank him, and pressed Guizhi's little head with his big hand, and bowed stiffly.
Takashi didn't realize what he had done wrong.
At this time, looking at the bellflower, his eyes were full of hurt and anger of betrayal.
Looking at this aggrieved little look, Kikyo wanted to laugh a little and said, "You're welcome, it's just a gesture, sir." β
Nodding silently and excitedly, the man silently found the wallet, and without clicking it, he threw money into the money box.
Kikyo did not stop.
Kindness is returned in this way, which is the principle of this man's life.
Then, after repeatedly thanking them, the couple was about to leave with Guizhi.
At this time, Kikyo said, "Sir, if it is convenient, I have something to talk to you about." β
The footsteps stopped, and the man turned his head and looked at the shrine maiden in confusion.
Kikyo stepped forward and squatted down, smiling and touching Natsume's head.
Natsume avoided in disgust and angrily.
smiled and asked Xiao Natsume to play, and when the man heard this, he let go of the hand that was holding Xiao Natsume.
"Come this way..."Kikyo invited the couple into the house.
In the living room, Mimiko served tea and snacks for guests, and at this time, only three people were present.
After taking a sip of tea, Kikyo said straight to the point: "I think you also know that Guizhi is not an ordinary child. β
The woman's face was a little panicked, and the man nodded solemnly in silence, saying: "His mother is not an ordinary person, she has an ability beyond ordinary people, my eldest brother..." β
"I know you want to take care of this child." The decision to adopt a child is not simple, not to mention anything else, it is a huge burden financially, and it is impossible to make such a decision without a sense of responsibility, courage, and kindness.
Kikyo said, "But the truth is, this kid is very resistant to you. β
The man smiled bitterly and said: "Guizhi is not small, he has already remembered, he may have forgotten his mother, but my eldest brother, he can't forget, I don't ask him to admit that I am his father, at least, I have to take care of him until he can live independently..."
"You have children at home, Guizhi told me that he felt very lonely...", without saying that Guizhi was being bullied, Kikyo said euphemistically.
The man smiled wryly and looked at his wife.
The woman lowered her head and sobbed softly, and said: "I can't help it, no matter how many times I say it, Xiaoxian doesn't like Guizhi, and he's afraid that Guizhi will snatch his parents, this kind of thing, I don't know what to do, on one side is my own child, on the other hand..." When I think that there are always unclean things in the house, I can only endure it, no matter how I tell Guizhi, he can't turn a blind eye, and he always shouts from time to time, this kid has ruined my normal life..."
"He's just a child," the man sighed under his breath, and said, "If you grow up, you'll be sensible when you grow up..."
"I know, I know, but..."The woman covered her mouth and cried, and said: "My children are different from Guizhi, I shudder at the thought of my children living with Guizhi, I know that Guizhi is a good child, but I also can't turn a blind eye, I don't even dare..."
It is a mother's nature to care for her cubs.
No one has a position to blame the mother in this matter.
Kikyo probably knows, it's very simple, it's not a person from the same world, but living under the same roof, one party must make concessions and adapt to the other's world, either the couple accepts these abnormalities, or Takashi behaves like an ordinary person.
However, the rift has been carved, and in the child's naΓ―ve worldview, repairing it is not a simple matter.
This couple has completely disappointed Guizhi.
Even if that's not what the couple wants to see.
After all, it's not your own child...
Kikyo asked, "So, what are you going to do in the future and continue to raise Kishi?" β
Silent...
The woman was just sobbing.
After listening to his wife's words, the man's heart was shaken, and he deeply doubted whether his decision was correct.
"If you don't raise your child, what will happen to this child?"
"Your other relatives take it over, or send it to a welfare home, this kind of thing, sir, you should know very well, and Guizhi will not have a worse life than now."
Hearing this, the man clutched the teacup and did not speak.
Kikyo sipping tea...
Glancing at the man.
What about Takashi Natsume...
What about the cat teacher...
Custody, you can try to fight for it.
In the middle of the sound, Kikyo spoke: "Guishi, this child, can actually see youkai because he inherited the bloodline of youkai. β
Hearing this, the couple's faces changed drastically, and they looked at each other in horror.
Kikyo said bluntly: "I don't think you have the ability to raise such a child. β
