Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

After all, he's a really bad guy, and his attitude towards me is definitely no less than Sassi's, even though he's very good in other aspects...

His actions and words, his sincerity and reality, only satisfied himself in one aspect.

As her thoughts drifted off to who-knows-where, she didn't notice the girl in front of her.

All I heard was a cry of pain, and when I came to my senses, the girl in front of me had been knocked to the ground.

Are you alright?

Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly went up and grabbed the girl who was about to fall—speaking of which, her physical fitness seems to have improved a lot lately.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry."

The girl apologized cautiously, taking the initiative to speak even though it wasn't her fault, appearing quite timid.

Upon closer inspection, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that the person standing before her was indeed a beauty.

With an endearingly cute face, smooth and fair skin, and long, slender legs, she possesses a delicate and frail beauty despite her slightly thin figure.

What's most striking are those golden eyes, which, combined with that somewhat taciturn yet pitiful face, evoke both a desire to conquer and a sense of tenderness.

However, what Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed more than that was the uniform she was wearing.

Is this VOX Technology's employee uniform? When did the company start hiring employees younger than her?

"You are... Yotsuya Miko?" Kasumigaoka Utaha caught a glimpse of the name tag on her chest and asked with some curiosity.

"You're probably not even sixteen yet, so why are you working here?"

"I..." Yotsuya Miko slightly clutched the hem of her clothes and whispered.

"I've come to repay a debt of gratitude..."

......

Yotsuya Miko felt remorseful, realizing she shouldn't have argued with her father that day. If she hadn't been so willful, perhaps her father wouldn't have died.

If my father hadn't died, would I have never awakened this cursed ability?

If it weren't for those cursed eyes, would I...

There are no "what ifs" in life, and Miko Yotsuya's misfortunes began to strike after she entered high school.

First, he lost his father, and his mother struggled to support him and his younger brother by working odd jobs. The whole family was on the verge of death. Then, his ability to see ghosts brought him trouble.

Their family was nearly eaten by that blood-red monster on that terrifying street.

Although she was later saved by an 'angel', Yotsuya Miko's family had already fallen apart.

The younger brother was so frightened that he developed mental health issues and is now receiving treatment in a mental hospital.

Although the mother seemed to have regained her spirits and returned to normal, every midnight, when I saw my son, I could always hear sobbing and the sounds of fearful nightmares coming from her room.

Some things don't fade with time; that deep-seated fear will likely haunt her mother for the rest of her life...

What could she do when she saw her son? She realized she had to shoulder the burden of her family.

But she can't just drop out of school to work. Putting aside everything else, her mother would never allow it. If her mother knew that her daughter wanted to drop out of school to work, she would probably be the first one who couldn't accept it.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yotsuya Miko is destined to fall into the line of death and suffer a fate worse than death.

Fortunately, the fate of this trench still gave her a sliver of hope for saving it.

VOX Technology was a name that Jianzi had heard of, but she never expected that the paladin who saved her that day would be the owner of this company!

Although Tsurugi was wearing a helmet that day, Miko still caught a glimpse of his face as he flew into the sky.

So, is Mr. Tsugumi actually a character like Batman?

He's a company boss by day, and a vigilante fighting crime by night?

Miko Yotsuya's mind was instantly filled with many manga plots, harboring a girlish romance—but more so a desire forced by the necessities of life. Miko Yotsuya eventually came to work at the VOX Building!

"And then you spent the next month handling some trivial matters at a rich young lady's school?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the girl with her head down in front of her and felt that something was wrong with all of this.

No, the key question is—is Tsugumi planning to 'persecute' an innocent girl like herself again?!

Looking at the lovely Yotsuya Miko, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a pang of sadness for some reason, but she was also very self-aware and knew that she had no right to say anything.

Moreover, this girl seems to come from a rather poor family, so she definitely needs this job even more.

"Yes, I have always wanted to meet Mr. Tsugumi to thank him in person—he saved my family's life, but he has been very busy lately, and everyone says he is not at the company."

"Then come with me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up, deciding to take her to see Tsugumi. Amidst Yotsuya Miko's constant expressions of surprise and gratitude, they quickly arrived at Tsugumi's office in the private elevator that went directly to the president's office.

"Please wait outside for a moment...it may take a little while."

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her full lips, her cheeks flushing slightly under Yotsuya Miko's strange gaze, and said shyly...

Then she went inside.

After waiting anxiously outside for an hour, the door to the CEO's office was pushed open. Kasumigaoka Utaha, her legs weak, lips slightly parted, cheeks flushed, and eyes languidly and contentedly leaning against the door, breathed heavily, her voice panting as if she had been running for a long time, satisfied yet exhausted.

"Okay, all done? Go in now, Gou Xiujin~~~~ The boss is already waiting for you over there... *sobs*?"

As she said this, she staggered away, her sexy figure swaying with her curves. Yotsuya Miko blinked and watched her back. Her full breasts, which her school uniform could not completely conceal, were revealed as she swayed. Her plump, peach-like and round, moon-like buttocks made men stop and women envious.

Ah, could it be that...?

As if suddenly enlightened, the child realized what had happened in the office, her eyes widened slightly, and a blush rose to her pretty face.

"Come in quickly, don't waste time."

The sounds coming from inside the office dispelled Miko Yotsuya's shyness, and she hurriedly pushed open the door and went in.

The scene showed Tsugumi lounging casually behind a desk, her black suit collar pulled back, while suspicious liquids were visible on the desk and floor.

Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to look up at the other person; the girl's cheeks were flushed red as she lowered her head and whispered...

"I, I, I've come to thank you! Thank you so much for helping my family back then!"

Still savoring the afterglow of his recent indulgence in desire, Tsugumi lazily gazed at the girl, searching his memory.

Oh, I remember now.

Isn't this the same girl with yin-yang eyes that he casually drew when he last tried out the Paladin panel, the one he saved from an evil spirit?

I think I've seen a few of her comic book illustrations before? But I don't really know anything else about her.

Tsugumi casually pulled up the other party's information, including her activities at the company and surveillance footage during her absence.

"Yotsuya Miko, right?"

"Yes, sir!" The girl stood at attention.

"Don't be so nervous, have a seat."

Tsugumi glanced through the other party's information and current situation, then raised an eyebrow and said...

"Why are you working for the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family while you're in my company?"

"It's a company arrangement..." Miko Yotsuya whispered.

"You didn't show them my business card?"

“I saw it, but… a gentleman said that I’m a student and can’t be of much help at the company, so he arranged for me to work for that Ms. Shinomiya.”

Miko Yotsuya's voice grew softer and softer.

"Actually, I didn't have much to do there, and the salary was high, but I felt I didn't deserve it..."

Tsugumi tapped his fingers on the table, pondering how to punish Shinomiya Un'yō.

To be honest, the significance of this company to Tsugumi was limited to expanding his media power, so he always left the management of the company directly to the Shinomiya family.

After all, he hates all management work!

But he remembered giving Shinomiya Un'ei an order to tell anyone who came with his business card to wait for him to come back. But he actually sent someone to work for his sister.

No, it's most likely not for a job. This guy probably had some misunderstanding or was plotting something.

Tsurugi narrowed his eyes. He disliked this kind of arrogance, even though everything in the company was meaningless to him—but his things were his.

No one, not even a business partner, can interfere with things that don't belong to him!

Okay, looks like I need to give them a good talking-to, or maybe I should just get rid of them altogether...

But it's so troublesome to find someone else to manage things, ugh, it's so annoying! If I hadn't been given this damn power, I really wouldn't want to manage this company!

Tsugumi put some things on the agenda temporarily, then turned her gaze to Miko Yotsuya in front of her.

"Then—" Tsugumi took out a contract and pushed it over, crossing her arms.

"How about we discuss the details of the contractual cooperation?"

P.S.: The next chapter was asked to be sent back for revisions in the middle of the night. The problem is, I didn't have any explicit content at all; that part was purely for laughs—sigh, never mind. I'll try to get up and find someone to fix it tonight. I should be able to see it tomorrow _(:з」∠)_

Having transmigrated, my only purpose is to kill, kill, kill! : 97. Complex Desires Required (Fifth Update)

Media, Emotions, Hot Topics

The three areas surrounding Dongjiang's media power are not progressing rapidly in this world, but they are stable.

Tsugumi's idol business has been very successful, and the magic emanating from Kasumigaoka Utaha is like a continuous stream.

And then there's the SAO world he controls. Putting aside the soul fragments, what's most valuable to Tsugumi are these targets who are bound to the game world and generate buzz for him through constant live stream performances.

During the month he was away, the popularity of SAO world live streams did not decline; on the contrary, it formed a special virtual reality live game live stream zone.

In addition, Tsugumi's orders for Kayaba Akihiko to constantly harass those players and generate more live streaming effects brought substantial and stable attention to the live streaming platforms acquired by Tsugumi.

The power generated by his media in terms of sentiment and hot topics is continuous. Although there is no explosive growth, it is more like a steady stream than the destructive power of Hui.

With these two successful examples, Tsurugi naturally wanted to emulate and manufacture more.

Admittedly, Tsugumi disliked the weakness of media power in terms of combat effectiveness, but on the other hand, he appreciated the communication channels that media power provided him.

Live streaming, basically just live streaming.

It's a live stream, damn it!!!
