"While national affairs are important, health is equally important."
Ayato Kamisato smiled and said, "Just leave it there. I'll drink it in a bit."
"Brother, please drink it while it's hot."
“It’ll get cold in a bit,” Ayato Kamisato said.
"Then I'll help you."
Ayaka Kamisato, however, ladled the fish soup into a small bowl and gently blew on the steam rising from it.
The pure and noble "White Heron Princess" gently blew on the soup for that man. This considerate scene was enough to move any man, but it made Ayato Kamisato's smile fade a little.
When the heat subsided a bit.
With a smile, Ayaka Kamisato placed the bowl of fish soup in front of Ayato Kamisato.
"It's getting cold, elder brother, please drink it quickly."
Ayato Kamisato naturally noticed that Ayaka Kamisato did not taste or touch the temperature of the fish soup herself.
I just blew on it.
This small gesture made Ayato Kamisato completely understand her meaning.
Ayato's heart sank. Looking at his smiling sister, he fell silent, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. After a long while, he smiled and said softly, "I'm actually a little hungry."
"I'm craving hot pot."
"Let's skip the fish soup and call Thomas. Let's go eat hot pot together."
Ayato Kamisato still didn't want to break ties with his sister.
Even if she were to poison herself.
but.
Ayaka Kamisato clearly didn't think so; she stood there with a smile as she watched Ayato Kamisato get up.
He simply urged, "Drink this bowl of fish soup first."
Ayato Kamisato's smile froze on his face for the first time since his father's death; this was the first time he had been unable to control his expression.
Because his most beloved and most cherished relative, his sister whom he had watched grow up, wanted to kill him.
"why?"
Ayato asked, feeling as if he had already drunk the soup, his breathing was becoming labored, and his smile was about to fade.
Ayaka Kamisato was still smiling.
"Please have some soup, elder brother."
Chapter Twenty-One: The Death/Funeral of Ayato (5K)
Ayato Kamisato knew that Ayaka harbored resentment towards him.
He knew about it during the time when she secretly wanted to leave the Kamisato family and was imprisoned and went on a hunger strike in protest.
Kha also guessed that she wanted to kill him.
However, Ayato Kamisato also understood that Ayaka Kamisato's fear and anger stemmed from Lin Jiu'an and his mother, whom he had abandoned. But if given the chance, wouldn't he want to save his mother?
In his view, once Lin Jiu'an dies, Ayaka Kamisato, with her intelligence, will eventually understand his good intentions.
after all.
They are siblings who grew up together and depended on each other for survival.
So, when she returned to 'normal' and started making him dinner.
He didn't eat it right away.
Even after several tests, in which servants were allowed to taste the food first and it was confirmed that there was no poison, he still did not eat it in front of her.
He roughly understood that, before Lin Jiu'an's death was confirmed, and before his mother returned or was confirmed dead, his sister's sudden improvement and the fact that she started thoughtfully making him dinner could only mean one thing.
She wanted to kill him.
Linghua would never be so foolish as to poison him on the first try.
But if he actually eats it in front of her a few times, there's no guarantee she won't poison him the second, third, or fourth time.
Ayato Kamisato didn't want to break ties with his sister, who was his only family. Even if she wanted to kill him, it had to be a misunderstanding that could be resolved, and it was best to resolve it before it was exposed.
But he never expected that Ayaka Kamisato would have gone to such a crazy place.
They completely broke off relations and were trying to force him to drink the poisoned soup.
Looking at his smiling younger sister, Ayato felt utterly unfamiliar with her.
But I didn't feel angry.
Only distressed.
He was heartbroken that she wanted to kill him, and also heartbroken that she had been 'tortured' to the point of madness.
"Ayaka, you're tired."
Ayato Kamisato said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable command.
"Go back and rest."
Ayaka Kamisato smiled, then sighed.
Why won't you drink it?
Instead of leaving, she picked up the bowl of fish soup and walked towards Ayato Kamisato.
Ayato Kamisato didn't quite understand.
Although her younger sister is also the owner of the "Eye of God", she is not good at fighting. Although she has mastered the Kamisato family's traditional swordsmanship "Kamisato-ryu" quite well, it can be said to be just for show.
It's okay for dealing with ordinary "God's Eye" users.
But do you want to fight him?
Ayato Kamisato also couldn't understand how Ayaka could have gone so crazy as to lose her mind.
But he knew that things had come to this point and he couldn't solve the problem by pretending to be stupid.
Just as he was about to subdue his sister, who was clearly mentally unstable, and detain her for a while, he suddenly realized that he couldn't raise his hand!
My whole body felt like it had been injected with anesthetic, and even moving my fingers was difficult.
When was the poison administered?!
'Snap!'
Ayato Kamisato fell to the ground and could only watch helplessly as his younger sister helped him sit down.
He picked up the soup bowl, ladled a spoonful of fish soup, and fed it to him.
If it weren't for that radiant smile, and if it weren't for the poison that was definitely added inside, everything would have been so heartwarming.
He was forced to drink several mouthfuls of incredibly delicious fish soup.
A burning pain had begun to spread through her stomach. Ayato Kamisato's last hope had vanished completely. With a puzzled smile, she put down her soup bowl.
"why?"
"why?"
Ayaka Kamisato did not answer, maintaining that fake smile.
He was answered by another voice from the doorway.
A young man's voice.
Ayato Kamisato looked towards the doorway and saw a young man with black hair and black eyes walk in with a smile.
The other person then swaggered over to Ayaka Kamisato's side and put his arm around her.
"Lin Jiu'an."
Ayato Kamisato managed to utter the other person's name with difficulty.
this moment.
Looking at Ayaka Kamisato, who was nestled obediently in Lin Jiu'an's arms, Ayaka Kamisato understood.
Ayato Kamisato gave a relieved yet helpless smile.
Although he didn't understand how the other party had managed to enter the Kamisato Mansion under the very nose of the Thunder General, at this moment Kamisato Ayato understood that he had no reason to die; even if his sister didn't lift a finger, this man could have killed him anyway.
Think positively.
Perhaps her sister did this to protect the Shinri family, perhaps to lessen the pain of his death, perhaps...
"So that's it."
Understanding is one thing, but understanding is another.
But seeing the man's hands caressing her beloved younger sister, Aya's anger inevitably rose.
He can accept his failures.
I can accept my own death.
But he couldn't accept that his sister would kill him for another man.
What she could not accept was that after her death, her beloved younger sister, and even her mother who was likely still alive, would become the plaything of this man for the rest of her life.
At this moment, Ayato Kamisato tried his best to mobilize the power of his body and accumulate the elemental power within him.
Even the slightest noise would alert the Shinri family to the situation here.
Even if it might cause the deaths of many members of the Kamisato family, as long as General Raiden discovers the anomaly here, he will most likely still die, and Ayaka will be saved, instead of living as this man's puppet for the rest of her life.
"Don't waste your efforts."
Lin Jiu'an said with a smile, "Just now, when you felt weak."
"If you are determined to break ties with Ayaka, you might have a chance if you forcefully activate your elemental power and make a commotion so that the other members of the Kamisato family will notice something is wrong."
“But ever since you drank that bowl of fish soup, you’ve been a dead man.”
Just now, while Ayato Kamisato's attention was entirely focused on Ayaka Kamisato...
He secretly used "wind" to carry a fine needle filled with a special anesthetic, personally prepared by Bai Shu from "Bu Bu Lu," which was effective against powerful "God's Eye" users, and pierced it into Ayato Kamisato's neck.
He had personally tested that anesthetic.
The average person with the "Eye of God" will be paralyzed and lose consciousness, unable to even move their eyeballs.
Even powerful beings like Beidou, possessing the "Eye of God," experience numbness in their bodies. They must immediately suppress the abnormality with elemental power and bleed themselves to stimulate themselves with pain before they can move.
Even a celestial beast like Gan Yu can cause numbness in the body, slightly affecting mobility. However, by slightly activating the bloodline, the numbness will be removed.
Ayato Kamisato's strength is naturally inferior to Hokuto's.
"Of course, you can also call for help, shout loudly, and see if anyone can come to your rescue."
Ayato Kamisato did not call for help.
The effects of the anesthetic wore off, but the accumulated poison erupted.
His internal organs felt as if they were being roasted on fire. The intense pain caused visible sweat to appear on Ayato Kamisato's extremely handsome face, and his expression was uncontrollably distorted. He gritted his teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and stared intently at Lin Jiu'an, who was still smiling.
Looking at his younger sister, whom he was wantonly playing with.
Looking at the younger sister whose face was cupped by Lin Jiu'an, she was shy and obedient as he asked for a kiss. Instead, she hugged Lin Jiu'an's shoulders and stood on tiptoe as if she wanted to make the man more comfortable.
Blood streamed from Ayato Kamisato's eyes. For the first time, he had such a strong urge to kill someone, to kill someone without regard for anything else.
After briefly playing with Ayaka Kamisato, Lin Jiu'an stroked Ayaka's neck with his fingertips in front of Ayaka Kamisato, admiring her trembling expression of fear and Ayaka Kamisato's blood-stained eyes.
Then, Lin Jiu'an sat down in the chair opposite him with a smile and put his arm around Ayaka Kamisato.
"Brother-in-law, you can go in peace."
"After you die, Ayaka will succeed you as the head of the Kamisato family."
"We will give you a grand funeral, and I will pamper Ayaka on your coffin."
Lin Jiu'an wantonly bullied Ayaka Kamisato, and his unbridled 'violent acts' caused painful tears to well up in Ayaka's beautiful eyes.
However, she still forced a fawning smile at Lin Jiu'an, despite the pain.
