When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

A day later, at a hospital in Tokyo

"Knock, knock, knock!" Kitahara Xiao knocked on the door of the ward.

"Please come in," Yukinoshita Yukino's cold voice came from the ward.

Kitahara Akira opened the door and walked in, just in time to see Yukinoshita Yukino closing the literature book she borrowed from the nurse.

"Kitahara-kun" Yukinoshita Yukino smiled at Kitahara Akira

"You're smiling so brightly, it seems that you've recovered well, Yukinoshita?" Kitahara Akira joked

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and said, "The doctor said that I just choked on some smoke. If there is nothing unusual after two days of observation, I can be discharged from the hospital."

"Really?" Kitahara Xiao sat down next to the bed. "That's good."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked down at the white bed sheet and said, "Thank you, Kitahara-kun. It was all thanks to you last night."

If Kitahara Akatsuki hadn't killed Nagano Chizu, she would have either been killed or choked to death by smoke, but she would have died anyway.

She didn't know how to repay such a great favor.

"What's the big deal? I'm glad you're okay, Yukinoshita." Kitahara Akatsuki smiled, then changed the subject, "But if you really feel bad, how about giving me a beautiful girl's hug?"

Kitahara Akira said as if jokingly opening his arms.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him helplessly, "Pervert-kun really has a hard-to-change nature."

"Hehe~" Kitahara Akira crossed his arms, looking deep, "There's an old saying in China next door, 'It's hard to change one's nature, even though it's easy to change a country'"

The two looked at each other and laughed. The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became much lighter.

"Tap, tap, tap" There was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the ward.

Yukinoshita Haruno opened the door anxiously.

"Yukino!"

"…………" Kitahara Akira and Yukinoshita Yukino both looked at her.

"I'm fine, sister." After a while, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke

She pointed to the door. "Can you knock first next time?"

"Ahem." Yukinoshita Haruno returned to her usual demeanor. "Xueno, I'm glad you're okay."

She heard from her mother that Yukino was injured and rushed over from Chiba overnight. Now it seems that she is not seriously injured.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked between Kitahara Akatsuki and Yukinoshita Yukino, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth for no reason, as if she thought of something interesting.

She heard from her mother that when Yukinoshita Yukino was carried out of the fire by Kitahara Akira, she was already somewhat unconscious, but she still clung to Kitahara Akira's neck tightly and refused to let go. Her obsession was really deep~

"Oh, I didn't expect Kitahara Akatsuki to care so much about Yukino. I'm so envious, sister."

Yukinoshita Haruno pretends to cry

"Why don't I have a boyfriend as good as Kitahara-kun?"

Kitahara Xiao smiled awkwardly. This kind of drama queen was the last thing he wanted to deal with.

"Sister Yang Nai, stop joking. Sister Yang Nai should have a lot of outstanding suitors in school. How can I compare with them?"

"Yes, there are." Yukinoshita Haruno came close to Kitahara Akatsuki, "But they are just coveting the Yukinoshita Group. They are not as good as Kitahara-kun."

She smiled at Yukinoshita Yukino lying on the bed and said, "How about Yukino-chan, give Kitahara-kun to me? I will definitely treat Kitahara-kun well."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked calm and said, "I don't care who Kitahara-kun likes, but he probably won't like someone like my sister."

"Huh?! Is this true?!" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Kitahara Akira in surprise.

Kitahara Akira hesitated for a moment and then nodded

What Yukinoshita Yukino said was right. He really couldn't stand Yukinoshita Haruno's eccentric personality.

Seeing Kitahara Akatsuki nod, Yukinoshita Haruno said to herself in a serious tone that others could hear:

"Does Kitahara-kun like the younger one? This is hard to deal with, after all, this thing can't grow backwards."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face was full of black lines "Sister!"

"Waaaaaah!" Yukinoshita Haruno hid behind Kitahara Akatsuki and pushed him. "Xueno is angry, Kitahara-kun, go and comfort her."

"Ah, it looks like Yukino is recovering well."

Yukinoshita's mother and Nagano Hiroichi walked into the ward

Kitahara Akira and the other two greeted the two.

"Ah..." Nagano Hiroichi brought two chairs with a tired look on his face, gave one to Yukinoshita's mother, and sat down. "Really, it's so troublesome."

"Brother Nagano, is there something wrong with the Nagano family?" asked Yukinoshita Haruno

"Yeah," Nagano Hiroshi nodded slightly, not intending to hide it, "Nagano Chizu, Nagano Nanyun, Nagano Tsubasa, are all dead."

"And many treasures were burned and cannot be restored."

Yukinoshita's mother was surprised. Although she personally experienced the fire last night, she did not expect the damage to be so serious.

The Nagano family, which was already sparsely populated, lost three more members and was almost in a state of semi-extinction.

"The most important thing is," Nagano Hiroichi continued, "with the death of Nagano Chizu, most of the foreign Onmyoji who were originally bound by the contract defected, and basically only the people under my second brother are left."

“The family business has also shrunk by half.”

"But this is also good." Nagano Hiroichi rubbed his face to refresh himself. "It's a good opportunity to select some people who really want to cooperate instead of stabbing you in the back."

He said this and exchanged glances with Yukinoshita's mother. The two seemed to have reached some agreement outside.

"In this case, the hope for the revival of the Nagano family lies in you, Kitahara-kun." Yukinoshita Haruno put her hand on Kitahara Akira's shoulder and gave him a mischievous thumbs up.

"Yes, I leave it to you, young master." Nagano Hiroichi put his hand on Kitahara Akira's other shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Wait a minute... Young Master?" Kitahara Akira looked at Nagano Hiroichi in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Literally, you will be the young master of the Nagano family from now on," Nagano Hiroichi explained.

"My second brother is unmarried and has no children. You know my situation. Now you are the only one of the new generation of the Nagano family. Of course, you are the young master."

"Huh? But... I can't take on this responsibility."

"Don't worry," Nagano Hiroichi patted his shoulder as if to comfort him. "Second brother is willing to take over the position of head of the family temporarily. When you are eighteen years old, I will hand over the entire family to you."

"So your task now is to quickly fall in love, get married when you are 18, and have 10 or 8 children to expand the family," Nagano Hiroshi said half-jokingly.

Kitahara Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Ten or eight, only children are so passionate. Adults know they can't handle it."

"Hehe, did you hear that, Kitahara-kun? Do you want to pursue Yukino? It just so happens that Yukino's forced marriage has been cancelled," said Yukinoshita Haruno with a smile.

"By the way, speaking of this," Nagano Hirokazu suddenly said, "In fact, the marriage has not been cancelled."

Several people looked at him

"Why? Didn't Nagano Tsubasa die?" Kitahara Akatsuki was a little confused.

Is it possible to marry a dead person? Ghost marriage?

"It has nothing to do with Nagano Tsubasa," Nagano Hiroichi explained. "In fact, after the marriage was confirmed, the spiritual power contract of the Nagano family was already formed."

"It's just that the target is not Nagano Tsubasa, but the person in the position of young master."

"After all, the Nagano family is small, and this is also set up to prevent the young master from dying suddenly."

"That is to say..." Yukinoshita's mother looked at Kitahara Akatsuki and Yukinoshita Yukino, "Now the two parties to the contract are Yukino and Kitahara-kun?"

Nagano Hiroshi nodded

"Ah, this..." Kitahara Akatsuki and Yukinoshita Yukino were both stunned for a moment.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled playfully and said, "Kitahara-kun, why don't you just go along with the situation and marry Yukino-chan? Mother and Nagano-sama won't object, right?"

Snow under the mother just smiled and said nothing, obviously tacitly agreeing

"I support your decision," Nagano Hiroichi said as he looked at the two of them. He had not been led astray by Yukinoshita Haruno.

Kitahara Akira glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing beside him, and happened to meet her eyes, who was blushing.

The two people's eyes quickly broke away

"Well... let's forget it." After thinking for a moment, Kitahara Akira said

Nagano Hiroshi nodded and said, "I will ask my second brother to cancel the contract."

Yukinoshita Yukino heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
