Chapter 441 Are you a problem child?
Before we knew it, several days had passed.

Over the past few days, Itogami Island has remained largely unchanged.

Although the fake angel incident was not a small matter, it did not become as widely known as before. Apart from the initial fierce battle between the two fake angels, led by Natsune Yase, in the western part of Itogami Island, which caused considerable damage, everything else took place on the deserted island where the mage Kousuke belonged. Basically, no one knew what happened there.

Therefore, after Kensei Yase was arrested and two members of the Magecraft Factory were strangled on the spot by Aize, the matter quickly subsided.

Afterwards, the Magician Sculpture was investigated by Itogami Island and even the Japanese mainland on suspicion of engaging in illegal business operations and illegal human experiments. It quickly revealed its true colors and was confirmed to have committed crimes. The Kingdom of Aldegia also publicly exposed all the crimes committed by the company, which led to the complete collapse of this once well-known but now deteriorating company. It soon disappeared without a trace on the international stage.

La Fria made a public appearance after returning to Itogami Island, announcing her safe return and relieving many who knew that she had unofficially visited Itogami Island but had encountered trouble along the way.

The girls, led by Natsune Haze, were all sent to the hospital for examination and treatment. Because they were all victims, even though someone had caused serious property damage in the West District, Itogami Island did not hold them accountable.

As for Aize, he completely disappeared from the scene. No one knew that he had ever left Itogami Island, let alone that he had been involved in these events.

Of course, this does not include those major international powers and organizations.

"Even the legendary angels are no match for that person?"

"Although it's just a group of unfinished prototype angels, it indirectly shows that person is extraordinary."

"Higher-dimensional life forms and powers are helpless against him, so it seems that his reputation needs to be raised a bit more."

"Let's keep an eye on him. Anyway, the True Ancestors have already taken notice of him. Since those three are interested in him, let's wait and see what they do."

The heads of state who had once appeared at the conference table in the Whispering Garden were now conversing in this way in private.

The three members of the Lion King Organization also had some discussions after receiving the news.

"I never expected that Princess Aldeqia of the Kingdom of Aldeqia would be involved in the incident concerning the artificial angels."

"That was indeed somewhat unexpected, and what was even more unexpected was how easily he resolved the matter."

"In any case, we have achieved our original goal: to involve him in the incident involving Natsune Yase and the Silver Princess, thus creating a new bond. This gives us more clues to control the actions he might take."

Well... Lion King Matchmaking Agency has been steadily fulfilling its function.

Their idea was actually very simple: to strengthen the interpersonal relationships around Aize as much as possible.

This ancient human pillar, who was likely created before the birth of the Celestial Realm to govern the magical beasts of many mythical eras, found interpersonal relationships in this era to be far too superficial.

Without parents, without siblings, all alone, that's not a good thing.

It's not surprising that someone with the power to change, rule, or even destroy the world would do anything if they had no one around them to care about.

Therefore, they need to put collars on such people.

If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one.

When he has a large number of people around him who care deeply about him, and these people are influenced by him to some extent, or consider things from his perspective or even from the perspective of the general public, then these influences will eventually be transferred to him.

The Lion King Organization was already consciously doing this, otherwise they wouldn't have thrown Aize into the high god-like Durar, which is full of girls. Now they are just doing it more diligently and with more effort.

Based on these considerations, the Tristans were happy to see Azer get involved with those charming women, and even didn't mind lending a hand, even if the women weren't on their side. For example, La Furia was from the Kingdom of Aldeqia. But it was precisely because of their position that sometimes it was easier to achieve their goals.

After all, she is a princess, so dialogues, transactions, and cooperation through diplomatic means are often ignored and rejected by the other party.

In short, the three saints are playing a very big game, which, no matter how they play it, is only to solidify the name "Lion King Matchmaking Agency"...

Unfortunately, Aize was unaware of this.

…………

Inside a general hospital in the Kita Ward of Itogamishima.

In the North District, an area with various research institutes, there are many general hospitals and affiliated hospitals belonging to major enterprises, as well as many medical research institutes.

Most of the fake angel girls modified by Kenjiro Yase were sent to medical research institutes for treatment and examination, since human experimentation was involved.

In contrast, Natsune Yase was not sent to any medical research institute, but to a general hospital run by a foreign company.

This general hospital is actually operated by a company under the royal family of the Kingdom of Aldeqia. Although it is called a hospital, it is actually a facility established primarily for the research of demons in order to develop new magical technologies. The reason it was not established as a research institute is because its main responsibility is to collect data and physical residues from demon patients and send them to specialized research institutions.

Natsune Yase was then sent to this general hospital, and many professional medical personnel from the Kingdom of Aldeqia arrived at the hospital that same day.

There was no way around it; the royal daughters of the Kingdom of Aldeqia were all born mediums, and there were far too many evil spirits and heretics coveting their bodies. Not to mention that Natsune Yase had just been embroiled in a human modification incident because of this. La Fria didn't know whether others trusted the Demon Special Zone, but she certainly wouldn't allow outsiders to examine and treat her aunt, whom she had finally found.

Therefore, after Natsune Yase was sent to this hospital, La Fria stayed on Itogami Island for the time being, and she gave a flimsy excuse for not leaving.

At least for now, La Fria doesn't really want to reveal the existence of Natsune Haze, the illegitimate daughter of the royal family, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Of course, this will not escape the notice of some people with ulterior motives, but it is enough to keep it from the general public.

For example, right now, a person claiming to be an ordinary citizen walked into this hospital, which was secretly under the tight control of the Holy Ring Knights of Aldeqia, just like a regular visitor.

"I didn't know there was a hospital like this here."

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Akina looked around with some curiosity, chattering as she walked forward under the watchful eyes of some knights disguised as ordinary medical staff.

"There are so many hospitals and medical research institutes in the North District, how could you possibly know them all?"

Aize walked beside Xiaonagisa, glancing subtly at the people around them before responding casually.

"That's true. Although I used to be hospitalized frequently, I always stayed in the affiliated hospital of the company where the mother of the man, Shensen, worked. I never had the opportunity to stay in other hospitals."

Akina spoke in a cheerful tone about a somewhat heavy topic.

Since being possessed by the Primal Being on Gozo Island four years ago, Akatsuki Nagisa's health deteriorated drastically. Until recently, she was a frequent visitor to the hospital. Her health improved considerably after the Flame Banquet, allowing her to be discharged and participate in club activities again.

Now, the girl recounted this past event in a cheerful tone, showing absolutely no sign that she had spent a long time in the hospital. "Speaking of which, how did Xia Yin suddenly fall ill? They said it was because of a family crisis... What kind of crisis was it?" Akina asked with a mixture of worry and curiosity, "Could it be a gas explosion? Or food poisoning? Could it be... could it be that she encountered a ghost?"

Towards the end, Akinagisa's cheerful tone became somewhat timid.

"You, a psychic, are actually afraid of ghosts?"

Aize looked at Akinagisa like this and just found it funny.

“I’m not a psychic anymore!” Akatsuki puffed out her cheeks and said, “Besides, it’s a ghost, you know. Even psychics are afraid of it. I’ve always believed that there are many psychics in this world who are afraid of that thing!”

Ah yes, yes, that's how most people comfort themselves and make their fear of ghosts seem justifiable.

However, this is just right.

"Whatever family troubles Ye Se has encountered, it's best if we don't pry too much, so as not to reopen old wounds, understand?"

Aize spoke earnestly to Xiaonagisa.

"I know my limits," Akina said angrily. "Does Ai-kun think I'm a blabbermouth and is afraid I'll gossip, so he's giving me this warning?"

"...That's not true, is it?"

"Ai-kun, please look into Nagisa's eyes before you say that, okay?"

"........."

"Ah! I looked away! That's too much, Ai Jun!"

The two argued and bickered all the way, and although they were in the hospital, no one came to tell them to stop making noise.

Because this is the top-floor private ward, there is only one ward on the entire floor, and only one resident. So the two of them didn't encounter anyone except medical staff (?), and no matter how noisy they were, they wouldn't disturb anyone else.

The two stopped bickering when they arrived at Natsumi Yase's hospital room.

"excuse me."

Aize went in first, leading the way for Xiaonagisa.

What appeared before them was a very spacious, luxurious room with excellent lighting and a warm decor. There was no smell of disinfectant at all; it didn't feel like a hospital room, but more like a luxurious bedroom.

"what……"

In the very center of the room, on a snow-white bed, sat a silver-haired girl in a hospital gown, looking at Aize and Xiaonagisa who had entered the room, a slightly happy smile appearing on her face.

"Senior, and Nagisa, what brings you here?"

The speaker was none other than Natsune Yase.

At this moment, Natsune Yase had not only woken up, but seemed to be recovering very well. Her complexion looked healthy, but she had an extra sense of fragility, making her look pitiful and especially endearing.

"Welcome! You've come to see Xia Yin, right?"

Beside Natsune Yase's hospital bed stood a smiling girl.

Who else could it be but La Fria?
"So you're here too?"

Aize raised an eyebrow and said this as his first words.

“Shouldn’t I be here?” La Fria didn’t mind at all, and said with a smile, “My family member is in the hospital, and as her only blood relative on this island, of course I have to be here to take care of her.”

La Fria said this in front of Natsumi Yase, and Natsumi Yase didn't show any unusual expression after hearing it, but she was a little embarrassed.

Clearly, after Natsune Yase woke up, La Fria had already told her about her past, and she should have accepted it.

This is only natural, after all, the two look so alike, which is already strong proof.

For Natsune Yase, a little girl who has been orphaned since childhood, learning about her background and knowing that she still has relatives must be a happy thing, right?
Some outsiders still don't understand the situation.

"Hey, Ai Jun, what exactly happened?"

Akina first stared at La Fria in disbelief, then at Natsumi Yase, before grabbing Aize's clothes and speaking with shining eyes.

"Who's that? She looks just like Xia Yin! She's a foreigner, right? So beautiful! She looks like a princess!"

It wasn't just a feeling; she was a real princess.

“You’re cute too, Akatsuki Nagisa.” La Fria turned her gaze to Akatsuki Nagisa, smiling as she said, “You’re just like Sleeping Beauty who hasn’t woken up yet.”

Only Aize probably knows what this pointed remark means.

Unfortunately, Akatsuki Nagisa has completely forgotten that there is a Sleeping Beauty inside her.

"No, no, no, how could I possibly compare to you?" Akinagisha waved her hand and shook her head, then asked impatiently, "So, are you Xia Yin's older sister or something? Could it be Mom... umm!"

Before Xiaonagisa could finish unleashing her barrage of attacks, Aize blocked them.

"Are you a problem child? You have so many problems!"

Aize covered Xiaonagisa's mouth, causing the girl to struggle slightly in his arms.

Seeing the two so close, Natsune Yase showed a somewhat envious expression.

As for La Fria, her gaze became even more meaningful.

"The Lord of Warcraft and the Fourth Progenitor? What an interesting combination that's getting more and more interesting the more I look at it..."
