"..."
Looking at the suddenly appearing Nakano Reina, the entire living room fell silent.
"Clack!"
Ichika, stunned, dropped the orange from her hand onto the floor. It was a very soft sound, but in the quiet living room, it was extremely noticeable.
Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba stared at Nakano Reina in silence. The appearance of the loved one they had longed for day and night made it impossible for the four of them to react.
Seeing the Four Sisters like this, Itsuki crossed her arms over her chest. Sure enough, they were family. She had been the same when she heard Nakano Maruo and Yu planning to revive their Mother.
"Mo-Mother?"
Ichika was the first to react. She stood up, looked at Reina, and cautiously spoke, reaching out her hand to touch her long-deceased mother, completely forgetting that she shouldn't be able to touch her.
"Yes, I'm here."
Stepping forward, Reina took Ichika's hand, nodded, and replied softly.
Feeling the cold touch of her mother's palm, Ichika held it tightly, afraid it was a dream, afraid that her mother would leave them again.
Thinking of this, Ichika's eyes filled with tears. Emotions suppressed for ten years burst out like a broken dam.
"Mother is here, I'm here, Ichika, don't cry."
Gently hugging Ichika, Reina comforted her, her gaze falling on the other Four Sisters as she spoke:
"You've all grown so much. I've missed so much."
"Mother!"
Seeing Ichika hiding in Reina's embrace, Nino also stepped forward and hugged Nakano Reina, followed by Yotsuba, Miku, and Itsuki.
Even Nakano Maruo, who stood nearby, wanted to join them, but remembering his almost nonexistent presence in the lives of the Five Sisters over the past decade, he rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling a bit awkward and unsure of what to do.
In the kitchen, Nakano Yu was frying dishes. The commotion from the living room was clearly audible to him. He glanced toward the living room, saw the mother and daughters hugging and quietly sobbing, and a relaxed smile appeared on Nakano Yu's face.
The joy of reunion, perhaps that was it. It was truly good.
Just as Nakano Yu thought this, Nakano Maruo, who was beside the Five Sisters and Reina, suddenly noticed Nakano Yu in the kitchen. His eyes flickered, and he walked toward the kitchen.
Seeing Nakano Maruo enter the kitchen, Nakano Yu said nothing and silently handed him an apron.
Nakano Maruo also silently took the apron, skillfully tied it, and began searching through the refrigerator. Soon, he came to the stove with a pile of vegetables and started preparing dinner.
"They're all crying, aren't you going, Yu?"
While stirring eggs, Nakano Maruo suddenly asked.
Faced with Nakano Maruo's question, Nakano Yu raised his hand and used Wind to lift the eggs in Maruo's bowl. After they spun in the air for a while, he said:
"I'm not good at those situations. Hurry up and make dinner."
After saying that, Nakano Yu fully focused on cooking.
Hearing this, Nakano Maruo glanced at the young man and said nothing more.
While the living room was immersed in the emotions of reunion between mother and daughters, the father and son in the kitchen fell into silence.
After some time, the emotions of the Five Sisters and Reina calmed down. Seeing that it was time, Nakano Yu called Reina and the Five Sisters to eat.
This time, the dining table was unexpectedly too small, but even though it was cramped, no one complained.
The Five Sisters looked at their mother, smiling as they recounted interesting events from the past decade. Nakano Maruo looked at the gently smiling Reina, listening to the stories of the Five Sisters, and only then realized how much he owed them.
And Nakano Yu looked at the scene of the Nakano family's reunion, a smile coming from the depths of his heart.
He truly loved it when his family was together.
...
"I want to know how to completely kill all Tomie."
After dinner, Nakano Yu returned to his room. With the question in his heart, he activated his ability, Peeping into Fate.
As soon as the question appeared, Peeping into Fate gave an answer, but Nakano Yu was somewhat surprised by that answer:
"1. Find the first Tomie and use Severance to cut through the concept of Tomie."
"2. Kill the Great God of Misfortune, obtain the authority Polluted Land of Evil, and use Polluted Land of Evil to instantly turn all Tomie into irrational impurities and banish them into Magatsuhi."
"3. Kill [Heretical God Shub-Niggurath], obtain the authority [Dark Mother's Womb of Fertility], forcibly control all Tomie as [Mother], and cut off Tomie's life."
The answers given by the system were quite standard. One of them was something Nakano Yu could currently do, and that was the second answer.
Kill the Great God of Misfortune, Nakano Yu felt that he could do it. Summoning the Great God of Misfortune required two divine artifacts: Izanagi's Cast-Off Robe and the Blade of Misfortune.
Nakano Yu knew what Izanagi's Cast-Off Robe was. In Japanese mythology, after Izanagi escaped from the Land of Yomi, he believed he was tainted by Yomi. He cast off his feathered robe and purified himself, from which the Gods of Eighty Misfortunes and the Daihokutsunichi God were born.
And the Daihokutsunichi God was the so-called Great God of Misfortune.
As for killing [Heretical God Shub-Niggurath], Nakano Yu honestly didn't have much impression of that deity. It seemed to be a main god in the Cthulhu Mythos?
Speaking of which, could gods from the Cthulhu Mythos really descend into this world as Heretical Gods?
Thinking of those tentacles and the ability to distort will and spirit, Nakano Yu felt a headache. He was quite unwilling to deal with the Cthulhu Mythos; they were ugly and brought mental pollution.
Without much thought, Nakano Yu immediately decided to kill the Great God of Misfortune. After all, killing that one was much simpler than killing Shub-Niggurath.
"It looks like I'll have to send those fools again to search for divine artifacts, but this time… one hundred thousand people."
Casually summoning several Envoys of the Moon God and assigning them the task of searching for divine artifacts, Nakano Yu recalled the sacrifice of living souls required to summon the Great God of Misfortune.
Compared to the last time he summoned the Heretical God Asclepius, the number of living souls required for sacrifice had increased tenfold.
"It seems to change depending on the nature and rank of the Heretical God being summoned."
Rubbing his slightly tired eyes, Nakano Yu murmured.
If that was the case, how many living souls would be required to summon the main gods of different pantheons?
Millions? Tens of millions? Or even a terrifying billion?
Thinking about it, Nakano Yu felt a chill down his spine. If that were truly the case, could he still kill all the main gods of every pantheon?
There wouldn't be enough population. If it really reached billions, how many Heretical Gods could he summon?
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu felt a headache.
He needed to obtain the Asgard key as soon as possible. He just didn't know whether living souls from other worlds could be used for sacrificial summoning... Hmm, what would happen if Tomie were sacrificed?
Nakano Yu thought that if sacrificing Tomie could also summon a Heretical God, then wouldn't he be able to keep a few and send them to the manifested Moon to cultivate?
After brief consideration, Nakano Yu felt that it was feasible. First, regarding Tomie, it only stated that living souls were required, not necessarily human ones, so Tomie should also be acceptable.
Although there was no oxygen on the manifested Moon, whether there was or not depended on Nakano Yu. He was the king of the manifested Moon, and if he wanted, he could turn cursed energy into oxygen at any time.
Then he would control the moonlight to separate Tomie from other areas, assign Envoys of the Moon God to guard them, and regularly cut off pieces of Tomie's flesh.
"This works!"
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu clapped his hands. He felt this plan was very feasible!
Without hesitation, Nakano Yu immediately sent another group of Envoys of the Moon God to various parts of the world to search for traces of Tomie.
At this moment, Tomie, who considered herself a hunter, had no idea that she would soon become livestock to be raised. After leaving the cruise ship, Tomie arrived at Japan's largest online forum company.
"Miss Tomie! You must be Miss Tomie! You are truly as beautiful as in the photos!"
At the entrance of the office building, as soon as Tomie got out of the car, a thin middle-aged man ran toward her.
"I am. I wonder how the things I arranged have been handled?"
Tomie nodded, allowing the man to take her hand and kiss the back of it.
"This... Miss Tomie, the video you asked us to review doesn't seem to have any benefit for us. Moreover, the boy in that video has a powerful background. Previously, people from other companies seemed to have posted videos related to that young man, but they were all suppressed."
Hearing this, a trace of light suddenly flashed in the man's murky eyes. He quickly composed himself and said with difficulty.
"Useless. Then I'll do it myself. Take me there."
Seeing the man say this, Tomie cursed dissatisfied, pulled her hand back, and ordered.
"Yes, yes, Miss Tomie, this way..."
The man bowed humbly, personally leading Tomie into the building.
Soon after, a series of videos of Nakano Yu killing foreign families appeared on a short video platform.
In the video, the young man's cheeks were stained with blood, like a demon. He held a long sword in his hand; the sword was chipped and looked like it had been picked up anywhere, which was indeed the case.
In front of the young man, one Western face after another knelt down; men and women cried bitterly. Although they were all speaking in English, their tone clearly showed they were begging for mercy.
However, facing such a pitiful family, the young man's expression was cold. That long sword, which would struggle to cut a melon, when lightly swung by the young man, left another drop of blood on his cheek, and a head rolled onto the ground.
As another person fell, the others in the video, aside from the young man, became even more terrified, begging for mercy. Seeing the young man's cold face, their pleas turned into resentment, then into curses against the young man, and finally ended with a flash of the blade.
The entire video was chaotic. Logically, such a video would never be allowed to be posted, but not only was it posted, it also gained significant traffic.
Soon, this video spread wildly across the video platform, even attracting the attention of other platforms.
At this moment, the Nakano family was immersed in the joy of family reunion, completely unaware of the storm on the internet targeting Nakano Yu that was spreading across the network.
