Chapter 217: He Is Your Brother, Not Your Son!

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Torii was an attached building of the Japanese shrine, which represented the entrance of the shrine in Japan.

Kimura Kazuki had noticed the green and red bird by the road when he passed by earlier, but he did not expect them to be the first and second-generation patriarch of the Arisu family. Although he had drawn some inferences when the two birds flew in, he was still quite surprised. He smiled as he said, “How loyal you are to stay on the Torii all this while protecting the Arisu family.”

The red bird’s pea-sized eyes were filled with human-like emotions. She said with respect, “The Arisu family is a large family with huge businesses, and vermin appear from time to time. To prevent them from bringing the Arisu family down, deep into the abyss, it is a must for us to monitor them in the background.”

“Master Kimura, please pardon the Arisu family for once.” The green bird had already executed Arisu Taigo. Flapping his wings, he landed on the table in front of Kimura Kazuki as he did not dare to land on the latter’s palm. He said as he bowed, “It was Arisu Taigo’s personal decision, and it does not represent the viewpoint of the Arisu family as a whole.”

Placing the red bird on the table, Kimura Kazuki nodded lightly. He would not bother to make a fuss about it as the other party was willing to reconcile peacefully. The first and second-generation patriarch of the Arisu Family had executed Arisu Taigo determinedly without even sparing his soul. Apparently, it was for Kimura Kazuki to watch so that they could beg for his pardon.

As he was thinking, he said softly, “I am just here to recover my losses. I never thought that such an incident would happen.”

Everything started because of Arisu Yuusuke’s loose tongue. The saying of “disaster emanates from unguarded talk” was the most appropriate phrase to describe the current situation.

With this thought in mind, although the red bird detested Arisu Yuusuke, she still spoke frankly, “Dignity of the mighty is inviolable.”

“I will not linger anymore since this is the case. You must have a lot to deal with, so excuse me.” He looked at Arisu Taigo’s and Arisu Yuusuke’s dead bodies and glanced at the time. Kimura Kazuki did not want to stay any longer.

“Let me escort you.” The green bird flapped its wings and led the way for Kimura Kazuki.

After Kimura Kazuki walked out of the door, the red bird looked at Arisu Atsuhito coldly, speaking in a husky voice, “Arisu Atsuhito, from this day onwards, you will be the

master of the Arisu family.” Then she turned around and looked at the front seat, “Seiki, you will be Arisu Atsuhito’s shikigami in the future. Protect him and obey his commands!”

“Yes, Madam!”

Arisu Atsuhito finally reacted when he heard what she said. He clenched his fists, speaking with abhorrence, “Why?”

“That’s because the dignity of the mighty is inviolable!” Sensing Arisu Atsuhito’s discontentment, the red bird was apoplectic with rage. She said with her voice sharp, “The Arisu Family is not owned by a single person! It is the Arisu Family for all. How could it wither away just because of personal resentment?” She looked at Arisu Atsuhito coldly and said, “Remember, demise begins with resentments. Never have a grudge against Master Kimura; instead, befriend him. Even if you are unable to make him your ally, do not offend him. His power is strong enough to annihilate the Arisu family with ease.”

“What about my father and Yuusuke!” It was apparent that Arisu Atsuhito could not contain his hatred towards Kimura Kazuki.

The red bird looked at Arisu Atsuhito pitifully and sighed, “Arisu Yuusuke was never your son. He was your brother. Or else, why would that Arisu Taigo be so furious when Arisu Yuusuke’s soul perished?”

The Arisu family master was appointed by her, and the second-generation patriarch through the candidates’ character and talent. It was never decided by the current head of the household.

Arisu Taigo was not exceptionally talented or skillful when he was younger. Why did she and second-generation master choose him? It was because of his character that prioritized the interest of the family, and he put aside personal emotions. Those were the qualities that she valued.

She did not expect him to have selfish thoughts because of Arisu Yuusuke. Humans are emotional beings, and it would not be a big problem, after all. What was disappointing was that he was too obstinate to reconcile, even though he knew clearly the power of Kimura Kazuki.

Actually, they saw everything that happened in the reception room, but the red bird trusted Arisu Taigo’s character and his ability to settle the matter. However, it was a momentary slip of thoughts that almost brought the Arisu Family down into hell. If it wasn’t because they had stopped him on time, and that Kimura Kazuki was not a bad man, the Arisu family would have gone through a catastrophe.

Arisu Atsuhito was already stunned by the fact that Arisu Yuusuke was not his son but his brother. He forcefully put up a smile and tried to say something, “...” Nonetheless, it was in vain. He was speechless, because he knew that there was no need for the first generation patriarch to lie to him. Even though his father was burnt into ashes, he spat blood on the ground just now. Arisu Yuusuke’s corpse was next to him too. He would know the truth if he took their blood and conducted a paternity test.

Meanwhile, Kimura Kazuki got out of Arisu Shrine. The green bird bowed slightly to Kimura Kazuki in the air when he arrived at the Torii, “Master, I cannot get out of the shrine. I can only see you off from here.”

Kimura Kazuki nodded lightly. Although the green bird was able to instruct the shikigami, whose name was Seiki, with ease in the reception room to kill Arisu Taigo, he knew that it was not due to the power of the green bird. It was a result of the suppression of the red and green birds’ consanguinity.

Furthermore, neither the red bird nor the green bird were stronger than Arisu Taigo.

Perhaps the shikigami named Seiki did not sign a contract with Arisu Taigo. Instead, it was bonded with the Arisu family, which was why the green bird could order him.

Nonetheless, Kimura Kazuki quickly threw these thoughts to the back of his head and went back to Weier Road on a tram. There was a supermarket on Weier Road, so it was convenient for him to shop for groceries.

Kimura Kazuki quickly returned home after buying some groceries. However, stepping into the house, he did not see any sign of Kumoko. He immediately phoned Kumoko as he was somewhat alarmed.

“Hello, are you home now, Onii-chan?”

“Yes, I am, where are you?” Kimura Kazuki felt relieved when he heard Kumoko’s normal voice.

“I am inspecting the park!” Meanwhile, Kumoko was wandering in the garden in Weier Apartment. She had sneaked out when the weather was gloomy and without sun. Looking around, her petite face nodding from time to time, she was absolutely adorable, “Onii-chan, we’ve moved here, but we might still set up our stall at night! I found out there’s a park in the apartment full of people. We would make a great fortune if we set up our stall here.”

Kimura Kazuki was stunned as he listened to Kumoko’s delightful voice. Setting up a stall in the garden of Weier Apartment?

Hmm...

What a good idea.

He had been thinking about ways to attract the demons with Little Cart before this. Weier Road only had shop lots, and there were no food stalls.

It was different inside the apartment. There was a tiny mart, an entertainment room, and even restaurants operated by some master chefs in the apartment. Those who were lazy to head out would take care of their basic daily needs in Weier Apartment.

Hopefully, he would not be chased away by the real estate agency for setting up a food stall in the park.

Kimura Kazuki thought the idea could really work!
