Ayaka Sajou finally asked the question that had puzzled her ever since she went on a mission with her teacher, looking at her teacher with curiosity.

Aozaki Touko didn't answer, but said, "Speaking of which, the Linglongguan family and this Demon King have unintentionally helped me reduce a lot of trouble."

Ayaka Sajou was taken aback, but then she understood what her teacher meant.

My teacher used to be the "Sealing Designation" of the Mage Association. The Mage Association would often send magicians and bounty hunters to cause trouble for my teacher, although my teacher was not afraid of them at all with his strength.

Rats can't kill people, but they are disgusting.

Morgan's sudden outburst not only diverted the attention of the Magic Association and the Holy Church, but also made the island nation a forbidden zone for magicians for several years afterward.

Few outsiders dared to set foot here, so no one bothered her. Then came the reconciliation between the teacher and the Magic Association.

And that's exactly what happened.

The woman in the suit who had delivered the message earlier came over.

"follow me."

Chapter 5 Aozaki Touko: I need more money!

When Aozaki Touko and Sajo Ayaka entered the private room.

Lin Jiu'an had already corrupted all of the dozens of blood slaves of Shuten-dōji in this private room.

Apart from the blonde woman who remained unconscious, the other girls had not suffered any severe shock and had already straightened their clothes and stood around the room.

The two women had just entered.

His gaze inevitably fell on the blonde woman lying on the low table in front of the sofa, and then on Lin Jiu'an, who was sitting on the large sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling window.

And there was Shuten-dōji nestled in his arms.

"Boss, I've brought the person to you."

Aozaki Touko gazed at Lin Jiu'an and Shuten-dōji, her gaze flickering slightly.

That petite woman, wearing an open, untied, deep purple kimono, was none other than Shuten-dōji, the queen of the island nation's underworld.

According to the information...

These dozens of women, including the blonde woman covered in snow on the table, should all be blood slaves that Misaya of the Reirou Pavilion found for Shuten-dōji from all over the world.

But who is that man?

Neither the information provided by the Magic Association nor the information she had investigated beforehand mentioned the other party, and judging from the astonishment in the eyes of the manager of the nightclub who brought them in, it was clear that she did not know this man either.

But look at that blonde woman's 'miserable state'.

Judging from the way he casually reached his large hand into Shuten-dōji's kimono while embracing him, this guy is the true master of the underworld.

He might even be the master of Shuten-dōji and Misaya of the Reirōkan.

but.

Why wasn't it there before?

It can't be that Morgan suddenly turned into a man, can it?

However, Ayaka Sajou stopped abruptly when she saw Lin Jiu'an, her eyes showing surprise and confusion.

Why does it look so familiar?

"You've arrived, please have a seat."

Aozaki Touko sat directly on the single sofa where Lin Jiu'an had just been sitting, while Sajo Ayaka stood beside her.

Lin Jiu'an stretched out his hand.

The maids on both sides immediately stepped forward.

A glass of deep red wine was poured for both Ayaka Sajou and Touko Aozaki.

"Sorry, I don't drink."

Ayaka Sajou waved her hands repeatedly.

Aozaki Touko didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up her glass and drank the wine in one gulp. The rich and refreshing aroma immediately melted in her mouth and lingered for a long time.

"I've long heard that the red wine produced in Oeyama is mellow and delicious, and after tasting it today, I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation."

"If you like, there are many more. I'll give you a few bottles when you leave."

Lin Jiu'an said with a smile.

He then looked at Ayaka Sajou, who had been staring at him ever since he entered, her expression blank and somewhat afraid to think any further, and winked at her.

Ayaka Sajou immediately showed a look of surprise.

She was initially just a little suspicious, looking at the other person as if he were her brother who had been missing for almost ten years. After all, although her childhood memories were really vague, there was no one in the world as good-looking as Lin Jiu'an.

But the other party's response directly confirmed her suspicions.

Although she really wanted to catch up with the other person and ask where they had been all these years, as well as where her older sister had gone, Ayaka Sajou didn't go to acknowledge them on the spot since the other person didn't say so directly.

"May I ask what brings Miss Aozaki to my humble abode?"

Aozaki Touko didn't notice Lin Jiu'an and Sajo Ayaka's subtle actions.

Because just now, when Lin Jiu'an winked at Sajo Ayaka.

Shuten-dōji also let out a muffled groan, his expression becoming even more alluring, while Aozaki Touko's gaze was drawn to his sudden groan.

"Officially, I was assigned by the Magic Association to investigate the mastermind behind Mount Oe and, if the opportunity arises, bring her to the Clock Tower."

"But what about in reality?"

Aozaki Touko has a very bad relationship with the Mage's Association.

There are many reasons.

She was designated as a "sealing designation," but for various reasons the "sealing designation" has now been revoked. However, Aozaki Touko understands that this is by no means a long-term solution.

So when she heard about the Magic Association's mission, she accepted it without hesitation, hoping to take this opportunity to make contact with the mastermind behind Mount Ooe and see if she could give the Magic Association a hard time.

However, the current situation is somewhat beyond her expectations.

The "king" of the island nation's underworld doesn't seem to be Shuten-dōji, who openly and without concealing his existence, but rather this unfamiliar young man who has never appeared in the public eye in the past decade.

Of course, what Aozaki Touko feared most was actually the blonde woman lying unconscious on the low table, covered in snow.

Coupled with Lin Jiu'an's undisguised gaze as he scrutinized her body.

Aozaki Touko always had the suspicion that the other party would pounce on her and defeat her at any moment, and her intuition told her that the other party was dangerous.

—That kind of danger that she had no power to resist.

"Let me give you two a heads-up: the Magic Association and the Holy Church are already making their move."

Aozaki Touko immediately changed her mind.

The boy in front of me is too dangerous.

She wasn't afraid of death, but if she were to be publicly humiliated like that blonde bombshell, she'd rather just kill her.

We could try to join forces; perhaps this young man could bring us greater benefits. However, we should leave temporarily to ascertain his true strength first.

"And thank you for your help."

"help?"

"Previously, as the Mage's Association's 'Sealing Designation,' I owe my current status to Miss Morgan, who drew the association's attention."

"so."

Lin Jiu'an immediately laughed.

"Shouldn't Miss Aozaki repay us?"

Aozaki Touko's lips twitched slightly.

She was just being polite to reduce the chances of him attacking her, and also to find an excuse to leave while doing each other a favor.

Who knew this guy would be so shameless?

Calm down, Aozaki Touko.

You can't beat him!

Making a rash move would only result in being pinned to the table and ending up like that blonde bombshell.

"I don't know how I can repay you?"

"Repay me with your body."

Aozaki Touko narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from her. She had already begun to consider whether there was any possibility of escaping by using all her strength.

"Kidding."

Lin Jiu'an then changed the subject, reaching out to tear open a rift in space and inserting it into the void. He took out a bag from it and threw it to Aozaki Touko.

Aozaki Touko took the bag and opened it.

It's full of magic gems, and they're all top-quality gems. A bag like this is worth at least several billion yen.

"I need your help to kill someone."

Aozaki Touko breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party gave her a terrifying feeling, like an unarmed human facing a ferocious tiger that had been starving for days. She really didn't want to fight if she could avoid it.

"Whom do you intend to kill, sir?"

"Aozaki Aoko, the sixth-generation heir of the Aozaki family and the fifth magician."

"Who?!"

Aozaki Touko narrowed her beautiful eyes dangerously.

"Sir, don't you know she's my sister?"

"How do people like you still care about this?"

"Sir, you've misunderstood. This person is my dearest friend, my sister..."

Aozaki Touko looked displeased, met Lin Jiu'an's gaze, and then looked away, as if she had made a difficult decision.

"You have to pay more!"

······

"Teacher, are you really going to kill your sister?"

After leaving the Ooeyama nightclub with Aozaki Touko, Sajou Ayaka asked.

Aozaki Touko didn't answer immediately. Instead, she glanced around and, noticing no prying eyes, asked, "If I hadn't said that, would he have let me leave?"

"So that's it."

Ayaka Sajou breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "When are you leaving, teacher?"

"tomorrow."

"Can I go home and check on things first?"

"Go ahead, come find me at the hotel tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, teacher."

Ayaka Sajou immediately parted ways with Touko Aozaki and headed towards the Sajou family home. However, after walking for a while, she deliberately took a longer route back to the Oeyama nightclub, deviating from the way she had come.

As soon as I entered the nightclub, the female manager greeted me with a smile: "Miss Saya, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ayaka Sajou felt that the female manager in front of her had changed.

She seemed to have become younger and more beautiful, and her physical condition seemed to be better than before. She no longer looked tired from years of staying up late.

However, thinking about the opportunity to meet Lin Jiu'an, Ayaka Sajo didn't dwell on it. She responded and immediately followed the female manager inside, arriving at the private room again shortly afterward.

As soon as the door opened, the mournful cry of Shuten-dōji could be heard.

Ayaka Sajou blushed instantly.

But she still went in and was led by the female blood slave to the spot where Aozaki Touko had been sitting. The blonde woman who had been lying on the table was no longer there.

At first, Ayaka Sajou didn't know where to look.
