Demon Realm Special Zone, Itogami Island.

This is one of the special administrative regions established primarily for research projects related to the demon race. It is an artificial island located in the very center of the Pacific Ocean, floating on a dragon vein 330 kilometers south of Tokyo.

This artificial island is composed of interconnected super-large floating structures, constructed entirely of materials such as resin, metal, and organic matter. It is organically combined with the most advanced science and technology, feng shui, and magic. It has a total area of approximately 180 square kilometers and a total population of approximately 560,000, of which about 4% are demons who have obtained formal citizenship. Although it is administratively called Itogami City of Tokyo, it is actually a special administrative district with an independent political system.

There are many special administrative regions like these, where humans and demons coexist, also known as demon special zones, around the world. Their fundamental purpose is to gain public recognition and protection for demons whose numbers have drastically decreased due to the impact of natural environmental destruction or wars with humans, and who are on the verge of extinction.

Demons from all over the world have the opportunity to obtain formal citizenship in the Demon Special Zone and coexist with humans. The Demon Special Zone also provides them with various jobs. The only price they need to pay is to provide their physical tissues or special abilities for humans to analyze. The results of the analysis and research will be used in science or to expand the industrial field, contributing to the development of civilization.

Itogami Island is one of the special demon zones that exists for this purpose, or at least that is what it is publicly stated to be.

On Itogami Island, large corporations representing the island nation, such as pharmaceutical companies, precision machinery manufacturers, and high-tech materials companies, as well as research institutions from renowned universities, are densely distributed throughout the island. Access to and from the island is strictly controlled, and visits are not usually accepted from anyone other than those associated with the corporations and research institutions and their families. Most of the island's residents are researchers and their families, as well as individuals with special abilities recognized by the government, and of course, demons who are the subjects of research.

Under these circumstances, Aize, who was new to the island, passed the entry inspection very easily. Even the information registration and other procedures had been taken care of in advance by the Lion King Agency. He boarded a plane and went directly into Itogami Island, and entered the only city on the island - Itogami City.

"Have we finally arrived?"

As Aize stepped out of the airport, he looked up at the main setting of the original story.

The place is full of skyscrapers and well-lit roads, and the streets are full of pedestrians from all over the world. Some people even wear strange metal bracelets on their wrists.

That's a demon registration card, which contains a liveness sensor, a magic power sensor, and a transmitter. Once the wearer releases offensive magic power, the registration card will immediately release an alarm and signal, allowing nearby residents to take refuge while also activating emergency protective measures.

The person wearing this item is naturally not an ordinary human, but a specially registered citizen of the Demon Realm.

In other words, they are non-human beings, demons.

Driven by curiosity, Aize observed them for a while.

However, those being observed clearly did not want to be treated like monkeys. When they noticed the boy staring at them, they all glared at him, some even baring their fangs, showing signs of transforming into non-human beings.

However, Aize merely narrowed his eyes and smiled at them, and the demons immediately felt a chill run down their spines, goosebumps rose all over their bodies, and their hearts seemed to be howling, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.

Only when Aize looked away did the demons, as if granted a pardon, run away, drenched in sweat.

"Who exactly is that brat?"

The fleeing demons were filled with horror.

Unfortunately, Aize had already lost interest in them.

"It's really hot here."

Under the blazing sun, Aize walked down the street.

Because it is located in the Pacific Ocean, 330 kilometers south of Tokyo, in the tropics, Itogami Island has a stable climate due to the influence of warm currents. It is a summer island all year round, and even in the height of winter, the average temperature on the island exceeds 20°C.

It's August now, and although it's not the hottest part of summer, the average temperature on Kexian Island still easily exceeds 35℃. At noon during the day, when the sun is at its strongest, it can even reach around 40℃. If someone who can't tolerate the heat comes here, they will definitely be tortured to the point of wanting to die from the temperature.

Therefore, pedestrians on the street were dressed very lightly, with some even wearing short sleeves and beach shorts, highlighting a carefree attitude.

In contrast, Aize was dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, with a hooded black jacket and a travel bag slung over his shoulder, making passersby feel hot just looking at him.

Despite being dressed like this, Aize didn't feel hot at all while walking under the blazing sun; instead, she felt a surge of energy and comfort.

If you look closely, you'll notice that at this moment, Aize's right eye is emitting a faint glow, the same color as the sun in the sky.

The Eye of Horus, its right eye represents the sun.

Therefore, bathed in the scorching sun, Aize not only did not feel hot, but was instead filled with energy.

The power of the sun flowed into his body through his right eye, giving him an extraordinary boost to his physical body, spiritual power, and even his five senses.

What others find as deadly as poison and something to be avoided at all costs, Aize sees as a tonic that enhances his strength.

"It seems that my powers will be able to be put to good use on this island."

Aize gently touched his right eye, smiled slightly, and continued walking forward.

Itogami Island is composed of four super-large floating structures connected together, and is therefore divided into four areas.

The eastern section is home to a massive international passenger ship terminal and a central airport, and is considered the gateway to Itogami Island.

There is also a helicopter landing pad for a private airline, whose main business is taking aerial photographs and transporting tourists for sightseeing tours, so tourists can be seen everywhere.

Aize is currently in the East District, but his destination is the South District of Itogami Island.

The western part of Itogami Island is a commercial area with restaurants and trendy buildings, making it the most prosperous area in Itogami City, while the northern part is mostly home to various research institutes.

The South District is an educational and cultural area with a cluster of residential and educational institutions. The Saikai Academy, where Aize will be enrolling, is located in this area, as is the residence arranged by the Lion King Organization.

So, while checking maps and travel guides on his newly acquired phone, Aize followed the instructions in his school handbook and took the light rail tram, finally arriving at the South District before sunset. Although there were also high-rise buildings here, there weren't as many as in the East District. Residential buildings were everywhere, especially apartments, which appeared one after another, telling everyone just how many people lived here.

"It should be in this area, right?"

Following the address provided by the Lion King Organization, Aize arrived at an apartment building.

This is a nine-story apartment building, which is relatively large and tall for an artificial island where building height is strictly regulated, and it offers a wide view.

"So, she's here too?"

Aize stood downstairs at the apartment building, looked up at it for a moment, then went inside, went to the elevator, and pressed the button for the seventh floor.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a slightly hurried voice rang out.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Upon hearing this sound, Aize raised an eyebrow and quickly pressed the open button.

A short while later, a figure jogged into the elevator and stopped in front of Aize.

"Phew... caught up."

The other person patted his chest, looked up, and smiled at Aize.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help."

The person who spoke was a girl wearing a white shirt and blue skirt, whose height was unknown but who looked to be about 160 centimeters tall, and who appeared to be about 14 or 15 years old.

The girl is cute, with expressive features and bright, expressive eyes that seem to speak volumes, instantly giving people a lively, cheerful, youthful, and beautiful impression.

Aize stared at the other person for a while, then smiled.

"It's just waiting for the elevator, it's not a big help."

Upon hearing this, the girl shook her head.

"You don't know, recently some residents have been moving things in and taking up a lot of elevator time every day, which has caused a lot of complaints from other residents."

The girl seemed very talkative and outgoing, a complete social butterfly.

"If I miss this elevator, I might have to wait here for fifteen minutes, or even thirty-five minutes at most, which would mean missing the time to make dinner."

"Kojo-kun isn't helping me out. If he comes back and there's no dinner, he'll just order some takeout to get by."

"Honestly, eating takeout all the time is bad for your health. I've told you this so many times, but Kojo-kun just won't listen."

"Oh, right, Kojo-kun is actually my older brother, though he's not very reliable..."

The girl started talking incessantly, her rapid-fire speech going beyond mere social nicety. If her family heard her, they would probably find it very nagging and annoying.

But the girl's voice is actually very pleasant, and she looks very cute. Her incessant chatter is quite pleasing to many people and doesn't annoy them at all.

Aize listened quietly, and after a while, he heard the girl ask a question.

"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you a new resident?"

The girl looked at Aize with curiosity.

“Yes.” Aize smiled calmly and said, “I am the new resident of room 705.”

"Room 705?" The girl was taken aback and said, "Isn't that next to my house?"

The girl's home is in room 704.

"Speaking of which, Yamada from room 705 did move out a while ago. So you're the new resident?" the girl exclaimed. "What a coincidence!"

“Yes,” Aize said casually, “It’s quite a coincidence.”

After all, we came here specifically for you.

"My name is Akatsuki Nagisa, what's yours?"

The girl introduced herself in a lively voice.

Aize's smile deepened slightly.
