Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 486 Mission: 05-3 The Nameless Apprentice's Departure
Just then, from the outer gate of the East District of Hakoniwa, inside the shop of the Grand Alliance [Thousand Eyes], one could hear bursts of hearty laughter coming from someone.

"Outer sect...certificate of authority?!"

Ren Russell gasped in astonishment as he stared at the thin parchment trembling in his hand.

This thin piece of paper represents proof of the right to control the Boundary Gate No. 2105380. Not only can one use the Boundary Gate for free and set a price for it, but one can also extract up to 80% of the usage fee as income.

Furthermore, the community that possesses this right can freely reshape the vast area where the boundary gate is located, and hang its flag in the most conspicuous place.

However, this last right is of little significance to "Jen Russell's [Nameless]" who has no banner.

Ren Russell looked up at the White Demon, who was standing with his legs spread apart rather rudely, holding a folding fan, and his tone was still full of disbelief: "We—[Nameless] have become [Regional Rulers]?"

"That's right. This thing has always belonged to the most powerful community in the region, and it was just kept in trust by [Thousand Eyes] before."

White Yaksha answered with a smile.

"cocoa……"

Renna's usually sharp mind froze as if it had rusted: "But we don't have a flag to fly, the other communities will definitely..."

This is indeed a reasonable question. The community flags hanging near the boundary gate are not only the most eye-catching advertisements, but also the most prominent signboard of an outer sect. If the flags hanging at the gate are famous enough, the entire outer sect community will naturally feel honored.

But if there are no flags to hang, visitors will naturally think that this place is some kind of ghost town that no one visits.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, little master." The blond boy—Izayoi Sakamaki—stopped smiling and looked at Jin: "Have you forgotten what we were talking about just now?"

Ren Russell looked at him, then his gaze fell on the "Water Serpent God" who had just joined the community and was standing half a step behind him. He suddenly realized what was happening and gasped.

The reason why Izayoi Sakamaki was able to get Shiroyasha to hand over the outer sect rights certificate was not because of the two of them acting on a whim; he had already arranged everything.

To make [Nameless] the territorial ruler of the outer sect (2105380), it's obvious that everyone else needs to be silenced. To solve this problem, those people need to benefit.

It was for this reason that Izayoi traveled to the "Torritunis Falls" at the end of the world, and through the Gift Game, made the water serpent god guarding the place a member of the [Nameless]. With the power of the water serpent god, the [Nameless] will soon be able to provide all communities in the outer gate with a free, clean, and inexhaustible source of water.

In this way, smaller communities no longer needed to fetch water from outside the miniature garden, and slightly larger communities no longer needed to pay for purified water. [Nameless] used clean water to completely shut down all the mouths, big and small.

"Mr. Izayoi! You are truly... truly amazing!"

Black Rabbit jumped up happily. The outer sect rights certificate of the outer sect 2105380 was originally an "unnamed" thing, and now it has finally been returned to its rightful owner.

Izayoi gave Black Rabbit a nonchalant smile, then turned her gaze to Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yō, who were sitting not far behind Jin with complicated expressions: "In that case, I guess I've won, right?"

"……Yes."

"I'm willing to admit defeat."

The two sighed, mostly disappointed but also a little happy. It was certainly a good thing that the community had gained such a valuable treasure, but unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to participate in the eve of the Harvest Festival, organized by the Southern District's [Dragon Horned Griffin] Alliance. After all, this was something that had already been agreed upon to be decided through a game.

That's not entirely accurate. During discussions about how to participate in the festival, Jin suggested that, as the main force and only combat personnel of the "Nameless" unit, for the safety of their base, he believed Izayoi, Asuka, and Yoh shouldn't go together this time. Firstly, they were still somewhat shaken from their recent participation in the Demon King's Game; secondly, the fact that their base couldn't be left unattended should have been clear before the "Fire Dragon Birth Festival."

Therefore, the final conclusion reached was that the person who "achieves the greatest result within the allotted time" does not need to return, while the other two will take turns.

And it was clear that Izayoi Sakamaki was the victor. He was the only one who would enjoy the entire festival that followed.

He laughed loudly, then suddenly said, "I really want that guy riding the wolf to see this too."

"A guy riding a wolf...?" The water serpent goddess "Snow White" tilted her head: "M-Master, what are you talking about?"

It's clear she's not quite used to her new identity yet.

"Of course it's that guy riding a white wolf god... It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I've already lost to that guy twice."

Perhaps it was some kind of subtle competitive mentality. Having seen that guy flaunt his five-figure wolf god for so long, Izayoi also wanted a servant of his own. Maybe that was part of the reason he approached Shirayuki-hime this time.

"Lost twice?!"

Upon hearing Izayoi's words, Shirayuki-hime couldn't help but express surprise. Before being defeated by Izayoi, she served under the White Demon who had bestowed upon her divinity, so she considered herself to have a high opinion of herself. In her eyes, Izayoi, this "monster," shouldn't have any rivals in the lower realms.

White Demon waved his paper fan and said mysteriously, "Perhaps... there's a chance."

"Oh?" Izayoi's eyes sharpened. "Could it be that Lady White Demon has some exclusive information? That guy will appear at the festival in the Southern District?"

"I wouldn't dare say that." The White Demon blinked its golden eyes suggestively. "But there are only so many famous communities, opportunities will always arise, won't they?"

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Izayoi smiled excitedly.

Turning back, he immediately realized something else: "By the way, White Demon, how long will it take for the outer sect's water conservancy project to be completed?"

After all, we can't let showing off interfere with important matters; that's exactly why Izayoi brought Shirayuki in.

"Don't worry, kid." White Demon chuckled, waving his paper fan. "I guarantee Snow White will appear in the Southern District before the eve of the festival ends. How about it?"

"A word is settled!"

The two grinning men clapped their hands loudly.
