You say this is a love game?

At this time, Mizutani Makoto realized that he had been thinking wrong all along.

He had previously speculated that the difficulty of this bond mission all stemmed from the Yajima family.

But now it seems that even if the Yajima family hadn't stopped him, rashly investigating Yajima Mai's secret... would easily lead to his violent death on the streets!

I was just an ordinary little paper grade.

You triggered a bond mission for me with a strong target?

And you want me to investigate her death and rebirth?

No wonder there's an [Undead Totem] at every step... If my modeling isn't good enough, and her judgment isn't "kind" enough, then I'll probably die all the way, right?

Mizutani Makoto took a deep breath.

Put the rest aside for now.

The girl before him smiled with an unusually cautious air. Beneath her generosity and composure, she seemed a bit reserved... What was she afraid of? What was she worried about?

Of course he knew.

Even though he and Yajima Mai were still talking peacefully, with no conflicts or disagreements between them, Yajima Mai's identity seemed to have created a barrier between them...

This is for sure.

So, he said:

"As long as you're not wrong."

"I will always stand by you."

Mai Yajima had her hands hidden behind her back, and she subconsciously clenched her fingers, as if she was really a human girl, rather than a monster hiding under human skin, full of filth and darkness.

She raised the corners of her mouth, and at this moment she was so beautiful...

She coughed lightly and then pressed on: "What if I'm wrong?"

What if she was wrong?

A girl finally gets the promise of her lover, but she will be anxious and anxious, craving for more and more, as if she can't wait to chase him and ask: Do you love me? Am I the most important person to you? If everyone wants to kill me one day, will you save me?

I just hope with full perseverance, hoping to get all the love from my sweetheart.

Even if she made a mistake, she hoped that person would fight the whole world for her.

Mizutani Makoto thought for two seconds: "...I will help you raise your cat."

"what?"

Mai Yajima's love brain was greatly hit.

She was at a loss for words and asked, "What does this mean?"

"What I mean is - you can go with peace of mind. I'll take care of your affairs... If there are any wishes that need to be fulfilled, or if there's a cat you need to take care of, I can help you raise it."

Immediately, the girl started to act unreasonably.

"I don't care! You have to be my knight! That's what the book says... Why do you care what the princess did before? Anyway, the princess needs a knight, so how can a knight betray the princess?"

She grabbed Mizutani Makoto's collar and shook him hard.

Mizutani Makoto was shaken to the point of being out of breath, but he still said stubbornly: "...I don't help the evil."

"Sacrifice your relatives for the sake of justice?!"

Mai Yajima couldn't believe it.

"Let me correct you, you're not really a kiss."

Mizutani Makoto said calmly.

The girl was immediately discouraged.

She lowered her head, and raised her eyes from time to time, secretly glancing at Mizutani Makoto's handsome face, muttering a few words of "bad guy"... They were very close, and Mizutani Makoto could hear it clearly.

But think about it.

"So as long as I'm not a bad person, you'll always stand by me...right?"

Mizutani Makoto nodded.

"Will you always believe in me?"

Mizutani Makoto nodded.

Mai Yajima's eyes lit up, as if she had found the correct way to approach Makoto Mizutani.

She continued to ask:

"Will you always protect me?"

Mizutani Makoto continued to nod.

"Will you always like me?"

Mizutani Makoto hesitated for two seconds and finally rolled his eyes at her.

"Don't get involved."

Hey!

He heard this clear and somewhat coquettish cry.

Before he could react, his vision blurred and he was pounced into the arms of a light figure.

——It was Yajima Mai who jumped up.

The girl put her arms around his neck and wrapped her well-proportioned legs around his lower back, hanging on him like a koala.

"I like you!"

The voice was clear and pure, carrying the girl's unquestionable admiration.

Mizutani Makoto was almost knocked to the ground by this sudden embrace. The force of the girl's impact was not weak at all, just like a bear!

He quickly steadied himself, holding her back with one hand and trying to peel her off him with the other.

She was like she was stuck with glue, clinging to him tightly and couldn't be pulled away.

It's not simply about strength, but a kind of obsessive attachment.

As if afraid that he would run away, as if afraid that he would disappear in the next second.

As if she could no longer bear it, she hugged him with all her strength, buried her face in his neck, and said loudly:

"Mizutani Makoto, I really like you!"

"Whether I am a human or not, whether you like me or not, I like you!"

"For you, I will be a good person all my life!"

At this moment, she was like a child, a baby who was born not long ago... She found the person she loved the most and tried her best to express her love to him. So she rubbed his neck openly, then raised her chin and gently kissed Mizutani Makoto on the cheek.

At that moment, Mizutani Makoto's whole body froze.

He let her hold him, feeling her heartbeat and the touch of her body that was between cold and warm.

She didn't let go of him.

Instead, she moved closer, almost to his ear, her voice as soft as the wind:

"Then, you have to be by my side, trust me, and protect me for the rest of your life..."

Not an order, not a threat.

It's an almost naive trust.

She showed him her softest part without reservation.

It's like a flower blooming in the darkness, even though it knows it will be short-lived, it still blooms.

……

……

That night.

Makoto Mizutani commissioned Kei Matsushita to do something.

Through Kei Matsushita, he contacted Akiyuki Nishida and handed over the list of victims he had on hand to Akiyuki Nishida. On behalf of Kei Matsushita, he commissioned the exorcist to investigate the conditions of the deceased before their death.

If you have an Onmyoji you can contact, you might as well use him.

Mai Yajima said that those who died were all evil people. He was selfishly willing to believe Mai Yajima, but he had to give an explanation to himself and Miyamizu Inaba in the end.

It happened that at this time, Mizutani Makoto received a text message from Miyamizu Inaba.

[Inaba: Mizutani, I seem to have found out something unpleasant.]

Mizutani Makoto naturally couldn't see the girl's emotions through the phone screen.

But Miyamizu Inaba didn't seem to be affected too much.

While he was getting the inside story from Yajima Mai, Miyamizu Inaba was investigating the case of the deceased Hayashibara Takuya.

Inaba: I also learned this information from others. Hayashibara Takuya, a teacher at Morishita Junior High School, also runs a cram school with another organization... During his classes at the cram school, he seems to have sexually assaulted his students.

[Blue-haired water monster: ...]

【Blue-haired water monster: I understand.】

[Blue-haired Water Monster: Regarding today's events, I want to find a time to talk to you about it. It's related to the rift.]

【Inaba: Yes! I believe you! 】

【Inaba:【Come on JPG】! 】

Miyamizu Inaba actually sent him an emoticon of a clenched fist and cheering him on.

This is relatively rare.

Mizutani Makoto also replied with an emoticon. It felt pretty good that Miyamizu Inaba could continue to trust him.

Ah, it wasn't the hell scroll where I misunderstood you, but you misunderstood me.

"Is this due to my rich and sophisticated experience in corner wood?"

Mizutani Makoto muttered to himself in amusement.

He glanced down at his phone.

Well, the lock screen is still Cong Yujiang.

To be honest, he had a rather ambitious ambition hidden in his heart, but he couldn't let Chidori know about it yet...

Throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Mizutani Makoto began to count his harvest.

Although no new mission was received today, Mai Yajima's "The Girl's Secret" mission has been advanced to 75%.

With 75% completion of the task, he was given another reward.

Mission Reward: 3 million yen, 1 free attribute point, 2 spiritual powers, 300 small forging stones, 2 forging stones, 1 large forging stone, 1 immortal totem.

Or maybe Zhenyi’s reward is generous enough.

The mission completion rate is only 75%, but the rewards are already luxurious, especially the [Undead Totem] that comes with it every time. So far, it has given him three lives.

So what will be her final reward?

Mizutani Makoto tried to continue inquiring, but Yajima Mai had already told him all her secrets. The future clues might not only point to Yajima Mai...but also have to start from other places.

Add attribute points.

Agility: 9 → 10

[Spiritual Power: 36→38]

At the moment when his agility increased to "10", Mizutani Makoto suddenly realized that his perception was slightly stimulated.

This mysterious feeling is like...

【Mind's Eye】:1/500 (Beginner)

Mizutani Makoto looked at his skill panel in surprise.

After his agility reached 10, his "intuition" gained from practicing swordsmanship successfully transformed into the "mind's eye" recognized by Tongzi.

“There’s also an unexpected bonus.”
