Chapter 414 Still Nothing Will Get Done

At this moment, Aize was unaware that the troublesome person that Nangong Nayue had mentioned earlier had already quietly arrived at Itogami Island.

However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't do anything special. He doesn't have the intention to actively contact these people right now, even though he already anticipates that it's only a matter of time before he does.

Having decided to enjoy this fantasy world in a relaxed manner, Aize naturally wouldn't let himself be tense; on the contrary, he couldn't wait to enjoy himself as much as possible.

So when the luxury cruise ship called Deep Ocean Tomb arrived at the port of Itogami Island, he had just fallen asleep, ending his all-nighter.

Yes, Aize stayed up late last night.

After having dinner at Xiao's house, Aize returned home and hid in the computer room, where he played games all night long.

As dawn approached, Aize returned to his bedroom, lay down on his bed, and fell fast asleep.

As a result, he hadn't been asleep for long when his doorbell rang.

"Its daybreak?"

Aize sat up in bed and looked at the dimly lit sky outside the window, feeling as if he had only had a half-sleep.

"Didn't I just lie down?"

Scratching his messy hair, Aize finally got up, went to the entrance, and opened the door.

Good morning, Ai Jun!

Outside the door, Akina greeted Aize with a bright smile, carrying a bag containing breakfast.

"Good morning, Nagisa."

In contrast to the energetic Akatsuki Nagisa, Aize spoke weakly, causing Akatsuki Nagisa to open her eyes slightly wider.

"Why do you look so tired, Ai-kun!" Akina exclaimed in surprise at first, then, as if remembering something, she puffed out her cheeks and said, "You didn't stay up all night last night, did you? Let me see your face!"

Xiao Nagisa tugged at Aize's hand, staring at him with her big, round eyes, as if trying to find the dark circles under Aize's eyes.

But just as the girl brought her face closer, she was tapped on the forehead.

"Don't get so close all of a sudden. If Kojo sees us, it'll never end."

Aize said something in an annoyed tone, which made Akina Gisa, who was covering her forehead, also look very dissatisfied.

"Kojo-kun still isn't up yet, honestly. Every day I have to wake him up, and even then he doesn't want to get up. If he's late and gets scolded by Teacher Nangong, I won't be responsible for him." Like a worried mother hen, Xiaonagisa scolded her brother while earnestly advising Aize, "Aize, please don't be like Kojo-kun! Staying up late is bad for your mental health and your body. My mom often stays up late, and she just complained to me recently that her skin condition has deteriorated significantly..."

Seeing that the girl was about to start rambling on, Aize suppressed the urge to yawn and quickly interrupted her.

"Come in, Nagisa. Don't stand at the door, just wait for me."

With that, Aize welcomed Xiaonagisa into the living room, and then went to wash up by himself.

"I'm going to check on the cats. Ai-kun, breakfast is on the table for you, remember to eat!" Xiao Nagisa's voice came from behind. "By the way, can I turn on the TV to watch the news? I mainly want to check the weather forecast, so it doesn't suddenly rain like yesterday and I get soaked again."

“It’s alright, you can see for yourself,” Aize’s voice came from the bathroom. “Do whatever you want, no need to ask my opinion.”

Upon hearing this, Akinagi first put down her breakfast, then ran to the cat room to see the cats.

When Aize finished washing up, changed into his uniform, and came out of the bedroom, Xiaonagisa was sitting on the sofa, holding a cat that was sleeping soundly, and watching the news intently.

Just as Aize was about to speak, he was drawn to the news content.

"Yesterday, a monk from the Western European Church suddenly launched a terrorist attack on the Foundation Gate. Despite the obstruction of the Special District Police Force, he still broke through many checkpoints and reached the bottom of the Foundation Gate, nearly causing irreparable damage."

"According to the investigation, the monk was an armed exorcist, that is, a high-ranking priest, and also an exorcist teacher. His mission was to exterminate the demon race. He was the natural enemy of the demon race and was regarded as a hero by the believers of the Western European Church."

"The reasons why the other party attacked Keystone Gate are still under investigation..."

Upon hearing this news, Aize raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Terrorist attacks?"

His whisper was overheard by Akina Gisa, who was intently watching the news.

"I can't believe something so serious happened yesterday," said Akinagi, still shaken. "And it was the Foundation Gate that was attacked. If it had succeeded, wouldn't we all be in danger?"

The so-called "Gate of Foundations" refers to the massive building located at the center of Itogami Island, at the junction of the four super-large floating structures that make up this artificial island, serving as the foundation of the island.

This building is the tallest on the island, shaped like an inverted pyramid. Inside, it houses the city hall and other government buildings, as well as numerous hotels and commercial establishments, making it the island's premier fashion center. The Cornerstone Gate has twelve floors above ground and forty floors underground.

Among them, the forty-story underground structure not only extends deep into the seabed but also serves as the management facility for the artificial island. This building, with a diameter of less than two kilometers, also acts as a connecting part, linking the four super-large floating structures of Itogami Island together.

The distortions, vibrations, and shaking of Itogami Island caused by ocean currents or waves are all absorbed and buffered by the Foundation Gate. Without this function, the four regions of Itogami Island would collide and disintegrate.

Therefore, the Foundation Gate is not only a landmark building on Itogami Island and a landmark of Itogami City, but also the foundation upon which this artificial island exists. If a problem occurs, it could lead to a crisis of disintegration for the entire Itogami Island.

Thanks to this, the Keystone Gate is highly valued by the Artificial Island Management Commune and is a heavily guarded area. It is usually staffed with nearly 150 guards, each equipped with the latest weaponry, and capable of stopping even powerful vampires.

However, according to the news, the terrorists from the Western European church broke through the guards' defenses in one go, penetrated deep into the bottom of the foundation gate, and finally reached the bottom layer, 220 meters below the sea surface, and touched the foundation stone of the artificial island.

If the other party does something to the cornerstone, then Itogami Island could be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it's no wonder that Akatsuki Nagisa looked lingering fear.

"The armed exorcists of the Western European Church..."

Aize muttered to himself.

He vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person in the original work, who was a villain who appeared at the beginning of the story. He was eventually defeated by Akatsuki Kojou and became the stepping stone for Akatsuki Kojou to awaken his first familiar.

Unfortunately, Aize wasn't as kind-hearted as Akatsuki Kojou, and he didn't encounter the other party, so he naturally didn't participate in this incident and become a shadow hero who saved Itogami Island.

"So what if he's just a foreign terrorist? Even if the main character doesn't step up and fight him to the death, it still won't amount to anything!"

How could such an important place as the Foundation Gate be breached by a mere terrorist?

Even if you successfully infiltrate, how can it be destroyed just like that?

If a true ancestor-level vampire came, that would be a different story. But this so-called priest who popped out of who-knows-where, does he really think Itogami Island is a small place where he can be bullied at will?

The original work portrayed it as if Itogami Island would definitely be destroyed if the protagonist didn't intervene, but it turned out that even without the protagonist's intervention, Itogami Island is still not a place that some Tom, Dick, or Harry can easily trample on.

"Ah, Ai-kun, look!" Akina suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the photo on the TV, "Isn't this your and Kojo-kun's homeroom teacher, that very cute Nangong teacher?"

Aize was immediately drawn to what Xiaonagisa said, turned his head to look, and then his mouth twitched.

According to news reports, the person who stopped the teacher-killer at the bottom of the Foundation Gate last night was the instructor of the Special District Guard, the English teacher of the high school at the private Saikai Academy, and the National Demon Extermination Officer—Namiya Nayuki.

"Well, so it was you who stole the lead role, Natsuki-chan."

Aize made a comment, but then thought it seemed quite reasonable.

Nangong Nayue is known as the "Witch of the Gap" and is a national demon hunter with the nickname "Demon Slayer." She once struck fear into the hearts of demons in Europe and solved countless magical crimes.

With her stationed on Itogami Island, it's hard to say that the crime rate has been completely suppressed, but at least no one would think that causing trouble on Itogami Island could bypass Nagatsuki Minami.

Since becoming an anti-demon officer, Nangong Nayue has arrested countless criminals, giving her a very special status. How could ordinary terrorists possibly cause trouble under her nose?
Furthermore, this legal loli possesses extremely high-level and difficult spatial control magic, allowing her to instantly reach every corner of Itogami Island and move freely. Even if the terrorist had only gone 220 meters below the surface, or even ten times that distance, he would not have escaped the pursuit of the [Witch of the Gap].

"Your dedication to your duty makes me, a useless agent of the Lion King Organization, seem rather incompetent..."

Aize muttered a couple of times, but didn't really have any feelings about it.

To be honest, he really wasn't interested in these so-called events.

He doesn't bother with things that don't affect him or the people around him.

He truly didn't believe that without the Fourth Progenitor and the agents sent by the Lion King Organization to steal their business, Itogami Island would perish in the events of the original story.

It's important to know that this artificial island is no ordinary place either. Like Nangong Nayue, it has a very special origin and background.

If a crisis really occurs here, I believe those hiding in the shadows will come out and resolve everything themselves.

Even if something really goes wrong, Aize can calmly salvage the situation.

Summarize……

"I'll just keep doing nothing."

As for how long this idea can last, that depends on whether certain people will stay put...
