Although Kimura Kazuki would like to set up a stall in the garden within Weier Apartment, it seemed impossible in the near future.

He would be representing Sakura Kyu High School in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition held in Fukuoka on the day after. Moreover, the source of the ingredients for their food stall would be a problem too. He never had the experience of setting up a food stall before, so he knew very little about it. Most importantly, he did not know how to cook snacks like oden, takoyaki, and many more. He only knew how to eat them... but he could learn.

Kumoko was confident and promised him that she would take care of the rest. In the past, she was the one who dealt with the ingredients that were bought. As for the snacks, Little Cart usually took care of it. After living for so long in the Natsume family and as a foodie herself, the Tsukumogami learned how to make itself snacks a long time ago.

Kimura Kazuki was quite impressed. Although Natsume Mitsue doted on Kumoko, he trained her on certain matters. Then, he remembered that the person had falsified Kumoko's memory. Apparently, he had contemplated the consequences that would follow if he was exposed.

It was night time, and Kumoko was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

While eating dinner, Kimura Kazuki was suddenly speechless when he felt the deliciousness of food bursting on his taste buds. A year had passed since he time traveled, and it was his first time eating at home, other than delivery food. Regardless of the taste, the feeling itself was different.

Looking at Kumoko, who was sitting opposite him, contented and joyful, Kimura Kazuki spoke suddenly, "Kumoko, I will be participating in the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition in Fukuoka in two days. Do you want to come with me?"

He did not feel at ease, leaving Kumoko at home alone. To him, even though Kumoko had the hybrid physique of human and ghost, she was nothing more than an average person in his eyes. Kumoko knew nothing, she was even a victim. Her actual age maybe 18, but she still acted like a 13 or 14 years old girl. He naturally would not treat Kumoko like how he treated the cultivators.

That was why he had a gentler attitude.

After listening to his words, Kumoko said, "Kumoko is afraid of sunlight. Didn't onii-chan say that Kumoko's skin doesn't allow me to stay under the sun for long? What's more is... Kumoko had secretly tried it once before. My skin hurts if I'm exposed to sunlight."

Natsume Mitsue told him before that Kumoko did not know that she was dead and that he had lied to Kumoko regarding the topic for more than a decade. Nonetheless, Kimura Kazuki was well aware that it was a bona fide lie. Natsume Mitsue had told him that Kumoko always thought that her special physique prevented her from staying under the sun.

Kumoko regarded her condition as some kind of disease.

With these thoughts in mind, Kimura Kazuki smiled as he said, "Don't worry. I've already found a way that can allow you to walk free and safe under the sun."

"Did you really, Onii-chan?" Kumoko looked at Kimura Kazuki surprisedly. She was so awestricken that even her tone changed. Obviously, it was a pity to Kumoko's life, not being able to go out and shop during the daytime. Only decadent nerds would like to stay home all day and prefer nighttime. She even had to pull the curtains together during the daytime, terrified by sunlight. It was like scorpions that could kill her.

"Of course!"

There was actually an easy solution. Even though Kumoko was in the state of a human and ghost hybrid, but she was a soul. Lodging on the Sun and Moon Sword would allow her to stay under the sun, but the downside is that she can only stay by his side if she wants to go out.

Not only did Kumoko not doubt the solution, but she was also very excited and high-spirited. The problem of her physique had been troubling her for ten years. Since young, Kumoko knew that sunlight could not shine on her, or else she would be in extreme pain. Nonetheless, as time passed by, Kumoko slowly got used to a life like hers.

Now that there was a solution to it, Kumoko leaped toward Kimura Kazuki exuberantly, "Onii-chan, daisuki, I love you!"

Gently pushing Kumoko away, Kimura Kazuki rubbed her head. It was a habit formed thanks to Yagyu Shizuka. She would lower her head whenever her training with him was over so that he could rub it.

After eating, Kimura Kazuki woke Furuhashi Sakurakyu from the Sun and Moon Sword.

When she came out, Furuhashi Sakurakyu was about to complain that Kimura Kazuki interrupted her dreams, but she was astonished by what she saw, "This... did you move to a new house?" She looked at Kumoko without waiting for Kimura Kazuki's answer, surprised but without doubts. Apparently, she thought that Kumoko was a specter just like her.

"Hello, onee-san." Kumoko was not surprised when she saw Furuhashi Sakurakyu who appeared out of nowhere. She had seen a specter and a wraith before, which was why she was not shocked at Furuhashi Sakurakyu's sudden appearance.

Kumoko gave a nice and lovable impression indeed. Although Furuhashi Sakurakyu looked young, she was actually in her 40s. She was so pleased when she heard someone addressing her as an elder sister! She scooped Kumoko up in her arms, becoming even more fond of her by looking at her cute appearance.

Frankly speaking, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had always wanted to visit her daughters. Not in her dreams, but she wanted to meet her openly in real life. She asked Kimura Kazuki before she could meet her daughters.

Kimura Kazuki hesitated, but he did not turn down her request. He only spoke one sentence.

"What comes next after meeting them? You would still have to leave."

Furuhashi Sakurakyu came around because of his words.

Yes... she would have to ascend to heaven one day. She had been dead for a decade; her daughters had moved on from the dark days of her demise. By looking at their lives now, she knew that her four daughters were happy and chasing their dreams. If she suddenly reappeared... she would still have to leave after her wish was fulfilled. Harunaka and the other daughters would mourn again by then.

It was better for her to talk with Harunaka and the others more often in their dreams. Even if she met them, she would not know what to say anymore, because she had already said whatever she wanted to in their dreams.

On the other hand, Kumoko had put her hand on the Sun and Moon Sword, feeling a chilly sensation as she touched it with curiosity. The next moment, Kumoko sensed that her surroundings changed, and she was in an all-white room. No one was in there. She was somewhat scared and called out, "Onii-chan?"

Suddenly, Kumoko appeared in the room. She was relieved, looking at Kimura Kazuki and Furuhashi Sakurakyu. With curiosity, she asked, "Will I be safe under the sun by doing this?"

"Absolutely."

It was already night time, so Kumoko would have to wait until the next morning to experiment with the effect.

Of course, Furuhashi Sakurakyu did not sleep in the Sun and Moon Sword that night. She stayed in the sword all the while because she disliked Kimura Kazuki's house. It was way too small for someone to stay. She could not help but give Kimura Kazuki a thumbs up now that she knew that the place was in Weier Apartment.

Obviously, Furuhashi Sakurakyu was very satisfied with the room.
