I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

The student council president patted him on the shoulder: "Although it's quite a sight, thankfully the teaching building is still there, so it won't interfere with our classes for the time being."

"On the bright side, at least the school explosion that every student has dreamed of has come true."

The sound of the zither rang out at just the right moment.

He was wearing the school uniform of Shuchiin University, and his hair was not properly styled, making it look somewhat messy.

He was also holding a can of coffee in his hand.

Mingxian looked at the intact teaching building and was somewhat speechless.

Although I deliberately avoided that area because I threw Hayasaka Ai onto the roof of the school building, the blows from Oyama Tsumi at that time, even though I took most of the force, were still equivalent to a magnitude 5 earthquake.

As it turned out, the buildings at Shuchiin were completely unharmed...

As expected of a prestigious school, the buildings are incredibly sturdy!

"Oh dear," the purple-haired student council president chuckled, "Tsurumaki-kun actually came to school today. That's quite rare. Did you foresee this scene?"

"He is Tsurumaki Miyuki!" Shirogane Miyuki looked over in shock.

Shuchiin is a prestigious private school, but it also admits students from ordinary backgrounds. These students are mostly academically excellent and pay more attention to their studies than other students.

Shirogane Miyuki is one of them.

Seeing the top student in the academic year, I naturally can't help but take a second look.

"Just call me Mingxian." Mingxian scratched his head. "I'm just here to continue my detective work and collect a commission on the side."

Miyuki Shirogane: "A detective?"

Student Council President: "This is really interesting. Just like the rumors say, he's as interesting as the young master of the Henomaki family."

"You mean a weirdo, right?"

"You're joking." The student council president stood ramrod straight, raising his hand to show the scene behind him: "As you can see, this scene perfectly matches the supernatural events you described, detective. Can our student council hire you to investigate?"

"Sure, but you have to pay first."

"Can I pay by card?"

Mingxian took out a POS machine.

As soon as the money arrived in his account, Mingxian said straightforwardly, "Last night, Shinomiya Huangguang was bewitched by the Ugly Woman of the Underworld, which led to the invasion of the Underworld Legion. Warriors with golden horns fought against the Ugly Woman of the Underworld."

"Shinomiya Hiromitsu died unexpectedly."

"After that, Ōyama Tsumi joined the battle, and a warrior with golden horns repelled him."

He pointed to the rubble in the distance.

"These are the remains of the body of Ōyama Tsumi-gami."

Shirogane Miyuki: "..."

Student Council President: "..."

I didn't understand a word.

wrong.

I understood the sentence "Shinomiya Huangguang is dead".

Shirogane Miyuki, filled with hostility, said, "You're not making this up, are you?"

Mingxian raised his phone and played a video.

In the scene, a golden light pierced through the darkness, and a huge humanoid shadow blurred the view, revealing only a strange man with golden horns standing on the ground.

The stone hammer struck the ground repeatedly, and the screen kept shaking.

Finally, the camera seemed to fall over, facing the sky, and then the dark, cloud-covered sky reflected a golden light, with huge golden runes reflected in the sky. One could imagine that the earth must also have such golden runes.

A golden comet shot out against the current, followed by a continuous series of collapses.

The video ends here.

After watching it, the student council president was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you compose the background music?"

"It was always there."

"That's it..."

The student council president couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long while, he looked up, wanting to ask again, but found that Mingxian had already left.

What a weirdo.

The student council president couldn't help but think this to himself, when he suddenly noticed that Shirogane Miyuki's eyes were shining and he was muttering, "So handsome!"

……

Mingxian, walking through the somewhat chaotic academy, was deep in thought with his head down.

The battle hymn played by the [Mysterious Maiden War Drum] always feels like something is missing.

Since it was just a song found online, it felt a bit lacking in passion and familiarity.

Why don't we find someone to come and sing?

Various tunes from the original world instantly flashed into my mind.

After unlocking the gene lock, thoughts grow strong enough to generate energy, and learning ability is greatly enhanced. Abstract thinking may be a little lacking, but logical thinking is extremely powerful.

Now I'm learning music composition and music theory, writing down the melodies I remember, making slight changes to the lyrics, and finding someone to sing them...

"So be it."

Mingxian nodded slightly and stepped steadily into the classroom without the slightest hesitation. His gaze was sharp, piercing through the noise of the classroom and accurately locking onto Hayasaka Ai.

"Come out for a moment, it's time to settle what happened yesterday."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated Hayasaka Ai's eardrums.

Even Kaguya, who was as cold and indifferent as an iceberg, couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Hayasaka Ai continues to play the role of that self-centered, frivolous gyaru, with a flippant smile on her lips, seemingly unconcerned about the teasing from her friends.

With his unique, slightly frivolous yet incredibly confident gait, he followed Mingxian and they walked together toward the empty classroom.

The moment the door closed, Hayasaka Ai's smile vanished, replaced by a cold and resolute mask.

Sunlight streamed through the window, dappling the two of them.

"What do you want from me?"

"It's time to settle the employment fee."

Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment, wondering if she had misheard, and couldn't help but confirm, "You're Tsurumaki Kokoro's fiancé, right?"

Mingxian nodded somewhat reluctantly.

Hayasaka Ai asked again, "And she's a very capable person, able to single-handedly command an army, right?"

Mingxian: "To be precise, he is invincible."

The enemy in the sky is also evenly matched.

Hayasaka Ai said speechlessly, "You actually care about this little bit of commission?"

"Forty million yen."

"..."

Hayasaka Ai was silent.

After a while, she raised her pretty face, her voice trembling slightly: "Did I hear that right?"

Mingxian reiterated: "Forty million yen."

"This is already above market price, isn't it?" Hayasaka Ai thought of her savings and tried to make a move.

Mingxian pointed to the messy playground.

"Just tell me, have I resolved your request?"

Hayasaka Ai gasped, her pretty face slightly lowered as she weighed the options in her mind.

The biggest gain from last night was the sudden death of Shinomiya Hiromitsu; the thing I feared most had disappeared.

To be honest, Hayasaka Ai was even somewhat grateful to Naruzuru.

And that peach, inside is actually an ugly woman from the underworld, whose target is still Lady Kaguya.

For Hayasaka Ai, Kaguya was like a younger sister.

From any perspective, 40 million yen is definitely good value for money.

and so……

I still can't accept it!!

My monthly salary is 500,000 yen, my year-end bonus is 4 million yen, and my savings are just over 40 million yen.

Forty million was his entire fortune.

If I hand it over now and lose my job, I'll be homeless!

After gritting her teeth and struggling for a moment, Hayasaka Ai seemed to remember something, raised her head and said, "I can give it to you."

Mingxian nodded.

Money or not is not important.

I just wanted to see what it would be like for Miss Hayasaka Ai, whose entire savings were now in her own pocket, to be hiding in a corner secretly wiping away her tears...

Hayasaka Ai asked casually, "Do you still take on requests?"

"catch."

“Then I would like to ask you to continue investigating the matter of Lady Kaguya’s mother.” Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment before saying, “That ugly woman from the underworld last night might… be Lady Kaguya’s deceased mother, Shimizu Nayatake.”

Not Agito: Chapter Twenty-Four - I need to record the background music first.

After accepting Hayasaka Ai's request, Naruzuru left Shuchiin.
