The brave Simmel wants to resign

"Let's go."

"Ah."

When Xia Youjie and Xinmeier arrived at the reception room, an unexpected person appeared.

"Hmm? You are—"

"Oh, what a coincidence to run into you in a place like this." The first one was a woman sitting cross-legged with her back to the group.

She has long, golden hair and delicate features.

Black, armpit-revealing bodysuit.

She has a beautiful and tall figure.

That is--

"Ninety-nine Yugi?"

Xia Youjie was shaken by the presence of the person in front of him.

Yuki Tsukumo – on par with Satoru Gojo and Natsume Yuuki, but a more senior and experienced Special Grade Spellcaster.

Why would the other party be here? According to Xia Youjie's understanding, the other party should have gone abroad about a month ago and usually spends most of his time abroad.

But now you've suddenly come back?

Has this incident become so serious that it requires the other side to intervene?

"Haha, no, no~"

Jiujiu Yuki seemed to have guessed Xia Youjie's thoughts, and waved his hand with a big laugh.

This woman possesses a unique charm; her face exudes a heroic spirit, while her body movements are free of any gloom, displaying exceptional grace.

"I just took on a little apprentice here. Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, he is still my disciple, so I have to come back to visit him occasionally."

"I originally planned to visit the three main families to say hello and ask them not to harm my disciple—but I unexpectedly stumbled into a very interesting incident~"

Ninety-nine has one leg flat on the ground, the other bent at the knee and raised, its slender foot touching the ground, swaying back and forth.

"Xia You, you seem very busy. Are you investigating a case?"

"...I guess so. As you've probably noticed, this matter involves the inner workings of the sorcery world."

"Hahahaha! Yeah, you really have a tough job!"

"Thanks to someone who did absolutely nothing."

"Hey~ I think Xiayou, you're too stubborn. It's good to relax once in a while."

Xia Youjie's annoyed complaints were completely ignored by the woman. "However, you look a bit better than before. Did something good happen?"

Does starting to raise children count?

"Ha! What's that? It sounds super interesting!"

Ninety-nine downed a drink, his eyes darting towards Simmel, who hadn't said a word since the beginning.

"So—I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, who is this gentleman?"

“Simmel, my junior.”

Xia Youjie was used to introducing Simmel to people, so he started speaking naturally.

Although Ninety-Nine is a top-tier sorcerer, he does not belong to any faction, so naturally he would not tell the other party Sinmel's true identity.

"Humph......"

Tsukumo Yuki slowly glanced at Simmel, his nonchalant demeanor concealing a hint of inquiry, his eyes shining with a clear smile as he looked her up and down.

"Did you notice anything?" Xia Youjie let her look.

"He's handsome. I really envy the girls in your vocational college. The whole school is full of handsome guys."

"I will pass on the message to Shoko."

Just then, Jiujiu suddenly stood up.

Xia Youjie is on alert.

Although he and Jiujiu seemed to be getting along very well, chatting back and forth.

However, he also knew that things didn't seem to be that simple.

Even though Jiujiu was the most senior special-grade officer, he couldn't figure out his background.

Perhaps with her mastery of sorcery, she could have discerned some of Simmel's special qualities. If that's the case... at the very least, this matter cannot be revealed in front of the Kamo family and Zenin Naoya.

Xia Youjie was prepared to stop Jiu Shijiu from investigating further.

At this moment, Tsukumo and Simmel made eye contact.

The former is leisurely, the latter is peaceful.

"you--"

Her cherry lips parted slightly.

dong dong.

Just then, Xia Youjie heard footsteps outside the door and immediately frowned, intending to stop Jiujiu from saying the wrong thing.

But it's too late.

Ninety-nine spoke.

What type of woman do you like?

------------

Xia Youjie closed his eyes and sighed.

He's forgotten all of that.

I've forgotten just how eccentric this woman is. Come to think of it, that was the same thing she said when she first met me.

That's fine, though.

"A woman?"

Simmel was taken aback at first, then began to think.

Although the question came as a surprise, Simmel began to think about it.

That's just his personality; he'll answer any question. After all, in his eyes, Jiujiu isn't some older sister, but a little girl, and satisfying the children's curiosity is perfectly normal for him.

As for the women he likes...

Without even a moment's delay, the image of Frillie appeared in his mind.

That elf who always walked at the back of the hero's party, coldly reading the spellbook...

So, the answer is—

I think..."

dong dong.

The footsteps stopped.

Swah——

"Tch, the Kamo family has really fallen on hard times; even their toilet is in such a remote location."

At this moment, Zenji Naoya opened the curtain, covered his head with one hand with a smug look, and walked in with his head down.

"Hey, where are you guys talking?!"

And at this moment—

"As for me... I prefer a woman who would quietly follow me from three steps behind." Simmel said with a look of reminiscence.

Because that's the kind of girl Frilian is, although most of the time she just wants to use Simmel's relatively broad body to block the light so that she can read the magic book while walking.

thump.

But unexpectedly.

After he finished speaking, before Jiujiu could say anything, a muffled thud was heard.

Zenji Naoya stomped his feet heavily on the ground, his previously nonchalant smile fading into astonishment.

He stared blankly at Simmel, who was looking back at him with a strange expression.

That instant.

It was born in Zenji Naoya's brain.

Memories that did not exist

Chapter 30 So...we were really best friends.

This guy or that guy.

It's all garbage.

From childhood, Zenin Naoya knew that he was special.

The men looked at her with expectant eyes, while the women prostrated themselves on the ground, serving her with numb faces.

Children are very perceptive. In ordinary families, children under the age of three easily understand that "crying can get you everything," and Zenin Naoya knew the same thing—

No matter what you do, you can obtain everything.

Only the individual can inherit the family business.

The family's secret techniques are only held by the person who possesses them.

Women, wealth, power, and rights.

Everything that others pursue, I can obtain with ease.

In such an environment, Naoya—human instinct—driven him to seek other pleasures.

He discovered it very quickly.
