"Kyushima Senge's wish request has been completed!"

"Get 10 wish points!"

"Get a rare wish chest!"

When Higashino Hirosawa walked out of the coffee shop, a prompt to complete the commission appeared.

No matter how tangled he is in his heart, Chiuchi Kushima seems to have accepted the reality.

In addition to wish points and rare treasure chests, I also quickly earned 2 million yen.

It was a good start on the first day, and Higashino Hirosawa was in a good mood.

"I'm back."

It was almost 7 o'clock when Higashino Hirosawa returned to Asakusa's house.

"dad!"

When Ochiwa saw Higashino Hirosawa, she immediately ran over and threw herself at him with open arms.

Higashino Hirosawa quickly put down the things in his hands and caught her.

After playing with Uzuki and Asakusa Yayoi for just a few days, I became more and more courageous.

"Welcome home, Brother Dongye. Wow, strawberry cake!"

Uzuki followed Xiaoqianwa, and her eyes lit up when she saw what Higashino Hirosawa put on the ground.

On his way back, Higashino Hirosawa bought four strawberry cakes at the bakery.

The Asakusa sisters and Chiwa-chan had already had dinner, and Higashino Hirosawa also ordered something to eat while waiting for Kushima Senge in the coffee shop.

Strawberry cake is just right as a dessert after a meal.

A row of people were sitting on the sofa eating cake and watching TV. Chiwa-chan was sitting on Higashino Hirosawa's lap, eating cake and shaking her calves, very happy.

"By the way, Dongye, Chiwa may have very good motor skills when he grows up."

Asakusa Yayoi looked at Chiwa-chan and suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?"

Higashino Hirosawa asked a little strangely.

Although he didn't know much about the situation of other children, he could feel that Xiao Qianhe was running more and more unrestrainedly recently.

"Grandma Fukuda said this in the afternoon. Grandma Fukuda said that Chiwa is as fast as I was when she was more than one year old. She may even run faster than me."

Asakusa explained.

"Is that so? Chiwa-chan is so awesome!"

Higashino Hirosawa said with a smile.

He didn't care about it.

Unless Chikazu wants to practice sports very much, Higashino Hirosawa will not actively encourage her to practice.

Athletes' sports careers are generally short, and excessive training can easily cause various hidden injuries to the body and leave sequelae.

And unless you can become a sports star, the most you can do after retirement is be a coach or a physical education teacher in a better school.

"By the way, Asakusa, have you ever heard of the legend of body replacement? It's the legend of an old man who doesn't want to die and switches his consciousness to a younger body."

Higashino Hirosawa asked casually, not expecting to hear anything from Asakusa Yayoi.

"I've heard of a legend about changing bodies."

"I've heard it too, Granny Futian said it!"

To Higashino Hirosawa's expectation, Asakusa Yayoi had heard of such a legend, and Uzuki on the side raised her hand in response.

"What does the legend say?"

Higashino Hirosawa asked quickly.

"It's so specific that I forgot about it. Why not go over and listen to Granny Futian!"

Asakusa Yayoi said embarrassedly.

"Okay, I just happened to bring some grapes to Granny Futian."

In addition to cakes, Higashino Hirosawa also bought some fruits.

Several people immediately came to Granny Futian's house.

Granny Futian is in her sixties and has a son and two daughters.

The two daughters have long since married out of town, and the son has also married and had children long ago. Due to work needs, he moved to Kyoto.

Kyoto and Tokyo are separated by less than half of Japan, so it is rare to see them face to face.

Grandma Fukuda was very happy to see Higashino Hirosawa and the Asakusa sisters bringing Chiwa over.

After saying hello, Higashino Hirosawa asked about the rumors of body replacement.

"Oh, it's the mermaid legend."

When Granny Futian heard this, she smiled and said.

"Mermaid legend?"

"Yes, you asked the right person. Not many people know this legend. My mother-in-law and I were from a small fishing village on the seaside of Nemuro City when I was a child. In the past, there was a legend of a mermaid in that area."

"Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a hidden fishing village on the coast of the North Sea. The villagers of the fishing village went fishing one day and caught a mermaid. The mermaid begged the villagers to let her go, and she would give them the blessing of the mermaid."

"But the village priest stood up and said that he could not let her go, but would eat her. After eating the mermaid, they will no longer get sick or suffer from pain."

"The villagers listened to the sacrifice and ate the mermaid alive. Before she died, the mermaid said in a very resentful voice, 'I will curse you! Curse you to live forever after eating me!'"

"Cursed for immortality?"

Hiroyuki Higashino was listening on the sidelines and couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it weird? Haha, you will know after listening to it."

Grandma Futian said with a smile.

The first time she heard the legend of the mermaid, she felt the same way.

But precisely because of this, she still remembers the mermaid legend very clearly after decades.

"The villagers didn't take the mermaid's words seriously. They soon discovered that not only would they not get sick, they could even recover easily after falling off a cliff and being seriously injured by weapons, as if they had never been injured."

"This makes the villagers in the fishing village very excited. It means they no longer have to worry about being injured, can do more dangerous jobs, and earn more money and food."

"But not everyone in the fishing village has eaten mermaid. There are a few people who, due to various reasons, have not been able to eat mermaid. They will still get sick and injured as in the past."

"These people gradually became more and more jealous of the villagers who had eaten mermaids. Finally one day, a young man couldn't help it. He thought that the villagers' abilities were obtained by eating mermaids, so he captured a villager.

You may also gain the same ability by eating."

"After this man made up his mind, he quickly found an opportunity one night and killed an old man in the village who was frail and frail."

"By the time other villagers found out, the old man had been killed and part of his flesh and blood had been eaten by the murderer."

"The villagers were furious and wanted to burn the murderer and hang him."

"But unexpectedly, the murderer hurriedly shouted that he was not the murderer, but a dead villager."

"Of course the villagers didn't believe it, thinking that the murderer was dying. But unexpectedly, the murderer told many secrets that only he and some people involved in the village knew. The villagers had to believe that the dead old man was not dead, but had a body.

New body."

"Afterwards, some villagers who couldn't stand their old and decaying bodies lured young people from outside the village into the village, letting the outsiders eat his flesh and blood without knowing it, and then successfully got a new body."

"This discovery made the villagers very excited."

"Although I don't know why the mermaids said it was a curse, it does mean that they can really live forever!"

"Soon after a few years, the village became significantly richer than before. But at the same time, they also discovered something very bad."

"They lost their fertility. In the entire fishing village, for several years, no woman could become pregnant."

"They tried to mate with women outside the village, but the results were the same."

"This discovery made the villagers a little uneasy, but their uneasiness was quickly forgotten."

"They can't have children, but that doesn't matter. They are immortal and the village has no need for future generations."

"But as several people were lured into the village, disappeared and never returned, the surrounding area of ​​the village has been classified as a cursed forbidden area by the outside world, and no one dares to enter the village anymore."

"The old people in the village want to replace themselves with younger bodies, so they have no choice but to rob people."

"But even if they can live forever, won't get sick, and can recover quickly from injuries, their combat power is not much different from ordinary people. If their heads are cut off, they will still be killed. If they go out to rob people, they may

The village was destroyed."

"In the hesitation, time passed quietly. The oldest man in the village began to lose strength, and gradually he could only lie in bed, unable to move."

"At first, the villagers didn't care, because as long as they find someone outside the village, they can replace the old man with a younger body. The old man will not die anyway, he just needs to lie in bed and wait."

"However, no one expected that the old man was aging incredibly fast. Less than a month after he was in bed and unable to move, the old man could no longer eat."

"After being unable to eat, something even more terrifying happened. The old man, who had no illness or pain at first, began to feel unprecedented pain. It was as if the pain he had not seen in his whole life came out in an instant!"

"The old man's screams resounded throughout the village, making all the villagers with the ability to live forever feel chills in their hearts."

"And this is just the beginning."

"The extremely intense hunger and pain became more and more intense every day. The old man even tried all his strength to seek death, but he still couldn't."

"I am extremely hungry, but I have no strength to eat. I am extremely painful, but I have no means of relief."

"The villagers finally began to realize why the mermaid said she would never die. It was a curse."

"They are immortal, but they cannot stay old."

"When they age to the extreme and are unable to die, every remaining day will be endless torture."

"If no one kills them, this endless torture will last forever."
