When Ah Gang finally tore them apart, he wanted to cry but had no tears. "Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

The two of them sat on opposite sides and panted heavily. "I'll let you off this time."

Iulio wiped the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect you to be so hard to deal with."

Nanako was inexplicably proud. "I do my best to earn money. Don't underestimate my strength."

"Are you short of money?"

"It's a long story."

"…"

"Hey, don't turn around and leave!

You're embarrassing me like this. "

"You're too noisy. Hurry up and follow me. Let's go after changing."

Nanako Saiki walked beside Iulio and secretly looked at him.

"You're surprisingly soft-hearted."

"…"

…

As expected, they soon arrived at the Tian family's house. Nanako Saiki looked at her disheveled appearance and still felt a little uneasy.

"I'd better not go in. Take out the clothes. I'll just find a toilet to change."

Iulio pulled her close to him.

"I'm really not joking with you. People who get close to me will really lose money immediately!" Nanako Saiki was flattered and subconsciously refused.

"Shut up. Act more pitiful now."

Iulio completely ignored her. He opened the door with one hand and his face instantly changed from fierce to uneasy.

"Eh??

What? "

As the door opened, they saw a young woman with short brown hair standing at the entrance. She was wearing an apron and had her arms crossed. She looked very young and was staring at the door with a serious expression.

"Yuri, Ah Gang, what exactly are you … eh?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a pitiful little girl being pushed in through the door. Her short pink hair was messy and her face was dirty (from fighting).

Her coat was wrinkled, and there was a large obvious stain on her skirt. There was also a faint smell of soy sauce. Other parts of her body were also covered in dust. It was very miserable.

"Mom, we accidentally bumped into each other on the way back. Her dress was stained by soy sauce, so I brought her back to change her clothes," Iulio said softly.

"Aiya!

Were you hurt?

Does it hurt? "As expected, Nainai immediately forgot what she was going to ask them.

"Hurry up and follow me upstairs to change. We need to take a shower first."

"Ah, no, no need!

She's leaving right away. "

Iulio answered subconsciously. Then, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Facing Nainai's puzzled gaze, he said without any guilt, "It's getting dark. She has to go home soon."

"Speaking of which, Mom, the soy sauce is gone. What are we going to do about dinner tonight?"

Nainai thought for a moment. "That's the only way. You guys go change first. I'll go next door to borrow some."

…

After finally fooling Nainai, Iulio dragged Nanako and Ah Gang upstairs. Then, he finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, he signaled Ah Gang to raise his head.

Ah Gang had two dark circles under his eyes. He wanted to cry but had no tears. "But, what about dinner later?"

"Ah, go find Dad's sunglasses and put them on. Just say that you miss Dad. Mom will agree," Iulio said casually.

"So," a gloomy voice came from the side. "You brought me back just to be a shield, right?

That's right!

Hurry up and give me back my emotions just now!!! "

Iulio slapped the head away and opened the closet to look for clothes. "As a person, the most important thing is to be happy. Why think so much?"

"Ah, I found it. Take this and change into it."

Nanako looked down at the clothes that were handed to her. It was a floral dress, similar to the one she was wearing. It looked very new.

She saw Iulio gently brush the dress and try to look nonchalant. Suddenly, she felt as if she was carrying a debt of conscience. Did she really misunderstand her?

"Give me something else. I don't like this one."

Then, she was pushed into the bathroom without any explanation, and the dress was thrown in directly.

Iulio's lazy voice came from the other side of the door.

"Just change into it obediently. You're so long-winded."

Nanako thought, "She's really a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. It's rare that someone is willing to get close to me after knowing about the curse. I shouldn't have lost my temper with her just now. I have to apologize later."

"

Across the door, Ah Gang said helplessly in a low voice, "Yuri still doesn't like wearing dresses."

"Shut up."

…

Iulio looked at Nanako who came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Don't tell me your brain is damaged."

"

His hand was held, and a slight chill came along with the water vapor. "Yuri Sauce, I feel your heart. I'm sorry for what I said to you just now. I'll definitely repay you in the future!"

"What happened?

What do you mean by my heart?

But didn't she just mention repayment?

"

Iulio coughed softly, "In that case, Iulio -sama will be responsible for the coconut milk jelly in the future."

"En!

I'll work harder to pick up bottles! "

Ah Gang, "…"

Ah Gang felt that if he didn't do anything, a certain someone's soul wouldn't be able to be saved. Just as he was trying to dissuade Nan Zi from giving up on that pathetic thought, Nainai's anxious voice could be vaguely heard outside the window.

"Mr. Yoshida, Mrs. Yoshida, is anyone home?

If anyone is, please answer me! "

Yurio stuck his head out of the window and saw Nainai knocking on the door forcefully and rudely, shouting loudly as she knocked on the door.

"Ah Gang, Nanako, stay at home. I'll go take a look." With that, Iulio didn't care about anything else and quickly ran out.

When he arrived at the Yoshida house, one or two neighbors came to check on the situation.

Nainai anxiously explained to everyone:

"I wanted to borrow some soy sauce from Mrs. Yoshida, but no one answered when I knocked on the door. When I was about to leave, I smelled something burning.

I'm very worried. I don't know if anyone is home. "

A few people sniffed carefully and found that there was indeed a faint burning smell, and they all became nervous.

"No matter what, let's call the police first."

"We've already called the police, but what if someone is home?"

A lady immediately said, "We can't wait for the police. I'll get someone to break down the door."

Iulio thought, "If someone is really home, they can't wait to break down the door.

The main culprit in a fire is not the flame, but the smoke. "

"

Yurio took off his coat and wrapped it around a flower pot. He tied a knot and ran to the window. With a 360-degree spin, the window shattered with a clang.

"Yuri!!!" Nainai, who was attracted by the sound of the broken window, couldn't believe it. "Why are you here? Hurry up and go back."

"Mom, now is not the time to talk. I'll open the window first …" Iulio looked at Nainai's expression and was a little confused. "Mom?"

Without saying a word, Nainai silently removed her jacket and wrapped it around her right hand. She carefully walked around the broken glass and broke off the shutter. Opening the window, she pushed herself up with both hands and jumped onto the windowsill, entering the house.

"Mom!"

"Yoshida-san!"

Iulio anxiously wanted to climb up, but Nainai stopped him with a look.

It wasn't very strict, but Iulio clearly felt Nainai's meaning. He couldn't take another step forward.

"I'm just going to open the door. There won't be any danger." Nainai covered her mouth and nose with her jacket and went in.

The rest of the people looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the door.

Iulio stood there in a daze. He felt that Nainai was really angry this time.

Almost immediately, the door was pulled open.

"Mr. Yoshida and Mrs. Yoshida have fainted. Call an ambulance!"

The few of them hurried in and saw a charcoal brazier next to the dining table. There were a few sweet potatoes roasted in it. They had been roasted for too long and were already charred. The smell Nainai smelled came from here.

Mr. Yoshida and Mrs. Yoshida were unconscious on the sofa.

The few of them hurriedly moved the two to a ventilated area and moved the charcoal brazier away. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Iulio looked at the commotion inside and didn't know what to do. Ah Gang and Nanako heard the commotion and ran over. They were shocked when they saw the glass shards on the floor.

The two of them hurriedly checked them up and down. They were relieved when they found that there were no wounds.

Ah Gang patted his chest and took off his scarf to wrap Yuri carefully. He said, "Yuri, you scared me. What if you got hurt?"

Nanako didn't agree. "Although you're a little stronger than me, adult matters should be left to the adults." After a pause, she added, "That's what my dad told me."

"Is mom angry because of this too?" Iulio asked.

"Eh?

Mom is angry? "Ah Gang said in surprise." Mom must be afraid that you'll get hurt. "

As they spoke, the sound of sirens and ambulances came from outside the wall. They arrived at the same time.

…

After dealing with all the matters, they returned home and relaxed. Everyone was a little tired. Nainai was surprised to see Nanako still there. "Oh no, it's so late. Your family must be worried. We have to send you home quickly."

Nanako quickly waved her hand. "No, no, I've already called my dad. He'll come here to pick me up after work.

He should be here soon. "

Nainai was finally relieved. Sure enough, after a while, the sound of a motorcycle horn came from outside the door.

Iulio and the others sent Nanako out. They saw a man in a police uniform and black-rimmed glasses standing in front of the car.

When he saw everyone, he bowed deeply. "I'm Saiki Koharu, father of Nanako Saiki. Thank you very much for your trouble today."

Nainai was shocked by the other party's actions. She quickly returned the greeting.

"No, no, no, we're the ones who were rude."

"Let me express my gratitude!"

"I should be the one apologizing!"

"…"

Iulio looked at the two people who kept bowing and scratched his butt. "It's the adult world."

Then, his hand was held. Nanako's usually dark eyes actually lit up.

Iulio rubbed his eyes, doubting his eyes.

"Yuri, do you know?

You broke the curse on me today! "

Nanako Saiki had never been so happy before. She couldn't help but thank herself for choosing this area to pick up bottles in the morning. "You don't know how important this is to me!

Maybe I've gotten rid of the God of Poverty! "

"Although I don't know why you said it's the Curse of the Poor God, considering what it is (It's not surprising that the Poor God exists if there are demons), I guess I'll believe you."

"But it's not strange if the curse doesn't work on me."

"After all, I'm carrying the great evil of the world."

"Let's end it quickly for today."

Iulio thought. "Little brat, go home quickly and don't come again."

"Okay.

Although I don't understand what you mean, don't worry. Since you don't dislike me, I won't abandon you! "

Nanako made a solemn vow and waved at Iulio. She ran to her father who was about to bow again and grabbed him. She politely said goodbye to Nainai, jumped on the back seat of the motorcycle, and promised Iulio loudly.

"I'll definitely come and find you again!"

Along with the wind, the voices of the father and daughter could be faintly heard.

"Why are you willing to ride a motorcycle out today?

Don't you need gas? "

"It's my first time visiting your friend's house, so I have to perform well.

How was my performance today, Nan-chan? "

"Don't call me by such a mushy name!"

"Hey, hey ~"

Nanako Saiki hid behind Saiki Koharu and smiled happily.

"Although my superpower can't be compared to that person's, I won't lose if I'm comparing my parents."

"Okay.

Also, I've made an awesome friend now. It's a tie ~ "

…

Iulio watched as the other party disappeared. He yawned and prepared to go back to the house.

"Yuri ~" Nainai's cheerful voice came from behind.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time." Iulio quickly turned around and bowed.

Nainai was still smiling. "It's too late to prepare dinner now. Let's go out for dinner today. What do you want to eat?"

Ah Gang spoke first. "Pork chop rice!"

Iulio was not to be outdone. "Coconut milk jelly!"

Nainai clapped her hands. "Oh, it's decided. Let's go eat sushi."

"Hey, hey???"

"By the way, Yuri and Ah Gang's pocket money for next month ~"

"Hey, hey!!!"

"You're killing me."

"Hey!"
