"Sorry, Shiho, you lost again. The loser has to be punished, you know~"
Shiho Miyano's face was a little pale, whether from anger or pain.
"Just close your eyes and bear with it."
Thwack…
A blood-red mark appeared on Shiho Miyano's forehead, causing her to shed tears from the pain.
"This is what you meant by something interesting?"
Looking at the darkening sky outside and the gradually stopping heavy rain, Yang Tao put away the Ludo board between them.
Watching Shiho Miyano rub her forehead, he took out the Wand of Healing from his backpack: "Greater Heal, Feast…"
In an instant, the mark on Shiho Miyano's forehead, which had been flicked, disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, Yang Tao put away his wand and said with a chuckle, "Isn't this quite interesting?"
"However, what I meant was not that playing games was interesting. Let's go, the rain has lightened."
A an umbrella appeared out of thin air in Yang Tao's hand. He handed it to Shiho Miyano, who was sitting in the passenger seat, then opened the car door and got out.
Hearing the car door close, Shiho Miyano came back to her senses and saw Yang Tao walking towards the cemetery in the light rain. She quickly opened the car door, held up the umbrella, and chased after him.
She placed the umbrella over Yang Tao's head.
"No need, I have plenty of umbrellas. Besides, if you look closely, the rainwater isn't falling on me at all…"
Shiho Miyano heard Yang Tao's words and looked closely. When the rainwater fell on Yang Tao, it seemed as if an invisible film blocked the water…
It was magical.
"Where is your sister buried?"
"Over there…"
Shiho Miyano pointed towards the southeast. Yang Tao nodded slightly and walked step by step deeper into the cemetery. Because of the rain and the approaching night, no one was there at all.
"Yang Tao, you said earlier that what was interesting wasn't the game. What exactly did you mean?"
The half-day of gaming had significantly reduced Shiho Miyano's sense of unfamiliarity with Yang Tao.
"You don't want to know."
Yang Tao's pace wasn't fast, and Shiho Miyano could easily keep up with him.
"I… I want to know."
"No, you don't."
Shiho Miyano fell silent, holding the umbrella and following behind Yang Tao, continuing deeper.
"Left…"
Soon, the two arrived at Akemi Miyano's grave. Akemi Miyano's name was written on the black tombstone, along with a beautiful photograph.
Just by looking at the photo, one could tell that she was a beautiful and gentle woman, with long, straight, dark brown hair styled in a 70/30 part, and very beautiful sapphire blue eyes.
"Aren't you going to ask me what the interesting thing I mentioned earlier was?"
"If I ask, will you tell me?"
"Just because I won't tell you, doesn't mean you shouldn't ask!"
Shiho Miyano: "…"
She really wanted to hit him.
Yang Tao took out two wands from his backpack, pointed them at the front, and lightly tapped: "Time Stop…"
Time Stop
Master
Mana Cost: 100
Grants the caster the Time Stop effect after casting, greatly slowing down time within an 8-meter square radius around the caster for 60 seconds.
If a Peculiar Pocketwatch is equipped in the accessory slot, this spell can completely stop time.
Luckily, Yang Tao had a Peculiar Pocketwatch in his accessory slot.
So, under the influence of this spell, the surrounding raindrops were frozen in mid-air.
However, Yang Tao's target was only the raindrops, so Shiho Miyano was not affected. Seeing this fantastical scene before her, she couldn't help but ask, "How… how did you do that?"
"You can just stop the time of the rainwater, it's very simple. Also, guess if I cast this spell on you when we were in the car?"
Shiho Miyano: "???"
Her intelligence was very high; after all, she was Haibara Ai, Conan's nemesis. Hearing Yang Tao's question, a flash of insight suddenly crossed her mind, and she squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "You really are… too sadistic!"
"You find my reaction amusing. From the beginning, you've been teasing me, making me misunderstand that you would do something excessive to me."
Yang Tao smiled upon hearing Shiho's words and said, "How clever. I'm so bored. If I don't act like an entertainer, I'll probably die of boredom."
"Oh, right…"
Using Mage Hand, he opened Akemi Miyano's tomb. An exquisite white porcelain urn flew out and landed on the ground.
"Quite miniature!"
The urn was only slightly larger than a palm.
Yang Tao took out a blanket from his backpack and handed it to Shiho Miyano, then raised another wand glowing with sacred light and pointed it at the urn: "Resurrection!"
A sister angel radiating a sacred aura appeared in the sky. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Yang Tao's face.
The spell was successful.
That meant Akemi's soul had not vanished.
A tear of an angel fell onto the urn. The next moment, a naked body appeared in the cemetery.
The woman's appearance was identical to the photograph.
"Heh heh, I didn't revive the wrong person. Shiho, snap out of it, quickly put the blanket on your sister."
Shiho Miyano finally reacted to the fact of her sister's revival and quickly wrapped the blanket in her hand around her sister Akemi.
"Shiho? Where… where am I?"
"You two can catch up later, let's leave here first."
He summoned a wooden door for the two sisters to return, and looking at the opened tomb and the empty urn, Yang Tao used Mage Hand to clean up.
After ensuring there were no issues, he flew out of the cemetery; his car was still outside.
… …
"You already know what happened."
Demon Slayer world.
Sitting in the temporarily set up office, Yang Tao looked at Akemi Miyano, who had already changed her clothes, and smiled:
"Well then, welcome to our team!"
With that, Yang Tao extended his hand and shook Akemi Miyano's hand, saying, "Don't worry, our company has always been people-oriented. You can completely treat the company as your own home."
Shiho, standing nearby, added, "There's no such thing as going home after work…"
"We will never dismiss employees without cause."
Shiho: "The company's enhancement potion can extend the life of ordinary people by five times, so you can forget about retirement."
"Very high salaries, comprehensive benefits, and paid travel."
"Hmm, that's true. The boss gives out gold bars, but there's no time or place to spend them. As for paid travel, it means working in a different world. If I recall correctly, this is the fifth different world I've been to."
Bang!
Yang Tao stood up from his chair, pointed at Shiho Miyano, and angrily said, "Woman, I've tolerated you for too long!!"
Shiho Miyano stood tall and said, "You're wrong. You wouldn't be angry if I said something incorrect. You only get angry when I say something true!"
Yang Tao: "Who said I was angry?"
He obediently sat down and looked at Akemi Miyano, who still had a gentle expression without any emotion, and said, "That's the situation. If you have any questions, just ask your sister. I generally won't interfere with your work."
"Thank you!"
Akemi Miyano bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for always taking care of my sister. If there's anything I can do to repay you, I will not refuse."
"Repay? We don't talk about that; we talk about feelings. Work hard in the future, and next time, we'll strive to get you a bigger laboratory."
