Mia....

This name has appeared in intelligence reports; her full name is Mikaela Hong, also known as "Hongo Mia".

Like Lena, she is a Japanese-American, but her appearance is different from Lena's. She is almost indistinguishable from a Japanese person, except that her skin tone may be a little darker, which is not very surprising.

However, besides this, this person has another identity: like Lina, he is also an intelligence agent.

Even so, she was not a professional spy.

Her main job is as a magic researcher at the National Defense Agency, studying casting magic; she is a talented woman.

He conducted a black hole experiment in Dallas in November, and later, seemingly because of the "scorching Halloween," he volunteered to come to Japan to look for clues about "mass-energy conversion of non-annihilation reactions" to replace the experiment.

However, Mahiro just noticed something was off about the girl.

So he habitually activated "Eye of the Spirit".

"Oh?!"

This is truly unexpected!

Just as the two women were exchanging pleasantries, Mahiro suddenly let out a gasp.

Did you accidentally bump your toe?

Lina looked at him, frowned unhappily, and muttered a complaint.

This girl is really something. Even though she already knows everything about USNA, she doesn't want Yotsuba Mahiro to be there if she can.

After all, with him here, some topics simply cannot be discussed.

"How could that be? Even if your table were to fall on my foot, it wouldn't hurt."

Shinji spoke eloquently, then gave Mia a polite smile and said, "I just couldn't resist getting to know such a beautiful woman, so I made a fuss to get your attention."

"...?"

Sylvia, who had just poured and brought over the milk tea, paused slightly upon hearing Mahiro's words and looked over with a subtle expression.

Mia was somewhat embarrassed.

Lina became even more nervous and quickly moved closer to him, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You are not allowed to lay a hand on Mia! She has nothing to do with us!"

However, Mahiro completely ignored Lina's reaction, stood up and walked to the beautiful girl opposite him, extending a hand to her and saying, "Hello, I am Mahiro Yotsuba, Lina's classmate. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Mia Hongo, Lina's neighbor and friend..."

Mia seemed a little afraid when she saw his outstretched hand, but when she realized that he didn't seem to be hostile, she tremblingly reached out her hand to shake his.

But the next second, something happened that left Lina and Sylvia speechless.

P.S.: My head is throbbing from the air conditioning, which is why I've only managed to write one chapter so far.

Chapter 104 Let's hunt to our hearts' content!

Hiss—!

Neither Lina nor Sylvia were able to react, or rather, they never expected this to happen.

Suddenly, Yotsuba Mahiro grabbed Mia's shirt and ripped it hard.

It was instantly torn to pieces.

Slightly less attractive than Lina, her slightly plump skin was completely exposed to the air.

The winter plum blossoms proudly amidst the snow.

But what's striking isn't that, but rather the horrifying, centipede-like scar on her chest that runs from her shoulder down to her waist.

That was a knife wound.

Or rather, it was a scar left by the Watanabe family's secret sword, "Doji-giri".

"Heh, just as I thought..."

Seeing the wounds, Masahiro chuckled, then grabbed the girl by the throat and slammed her against the wall with a thud!

"I didn't expect you to be so bold."

His voice was laced with sneer and mockery, "The one who attacked the people around me yesterday was your companion, wasn't it?"

The girl did not respond, staring at him with a deep gaze, remaining silent.

But the previous timidity and restraint had vanished without a trace, replaced by an indifference akin to inorganic matter.

In this rapidly deteriorating situation, Lina was the first to react.

"...Yotsuba-kun, what are you doing?!"

As Lina shouted, she began to construct a magic spell, and at the same time, the fingertips that had been gathering the "Good Thought Wave" were already aimed at the back of Yotsuba Mahiro's head.

"Let Mia go!"

Although pure thought waves are not fatal, they can still cause severe fainting upon impact.

"Oh, you're really stupid, Lina. The enemy was right under your nose and you didn't even notice."

"What do you mean?"

Lina was about to ask a question.

Suddenly, an anti-magic barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking her from Makoto, and the polymer of the interference force was completely blocked.

"A 'connected wall formation'?!"

Lina was stunned.

In her mind, this magic should be used by someone with a burly body like a giant rock, and only the Jumonji family's Jumonji Katsujin magic can use it!

However, Yotsuba Mahiro ignored her astonishment and turned his gaze back to the girl in his hands.

"You're right, Miss Mia."

Hongo Mia: "..."

Mia did not respond, but stared at him with her eyes, as if she wanted to devour him completely.

At the same time, that familiar feeling of weakness returned to his palm.

card!

"cough!"

Mia suddenly coughed, and the large hand around her neck tightened its grip.

"Do you think you can suck faster, or I can break your neck faster? I suggest you stop playing those pointless tricks." Yotsuba Mahiro said coldly.

"Mia!"

'Wait, Lina, don't go over there.'

Lina was worried that her companion would scream, but Sylvie stopped her immediately.

"Sylvie?"

Lina was stunned when she discovered that Sylvie was communicating using special magical means.

This is a type of magic that Sylvie excels at. It doesn't rely on the physical body; it uses the vibration of air to create sound and reads the vibrations of the air as sound.

All you need to do is lock onto the target; it's a completely private call.

"Lina, look at Mia's expression; something seems off."

Indeed, when Lina looked closely, she did discover it.

Normally, when someone is being choked, their reaction is either to struggle violently or to grab the other person's hands and try to pry them off, showing an expression of discomfort from not being able to breathe.

But you can't see any of that on Mia's face.

She remained calm and composed, as if she weren't the one being strangled.

How is this going?

Just when everything was at a stalemate.

Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Mia's lips, and at the same time, her pupils, which were fixed on Makoto, began to glow, revealing a cold gaze that was not human.

Just like Charles Sullivan, who launched the attack last night.

"The Fourth Research Institute's Body Adjustment Mage - Yotsuba Mahiro."

You are devoid of desire and wants; I sense no particularly strong wish from you, yet you possess an unpredictable and intense hatred. And your body is undoubtedly the most perfect form we all crave.

He wasn't clear whether he was without desires or wants, but there was one thing he knew for sure.

This hatred was a gift from Maya, bestowed upon him by Maya's intense mental power when he was still a cell.

That was the desire to take revenge on the whole world.

Although he may not always realize that he is too cruel to his enemies, his super brain often tells him to use his superpowers to solve the problem.

"Yotsuba Mahiro, I'll accept your body!"

"Oh, go to hell."

Click!

With a slight twist of his hand, Yotsuba Mahiro snapped the other's neck. Neither Lina nor Sylvia had anticipated this sudden turn of events.

But they are certain of one thing now—

Mikaela Hong is a parasite!

The biggest blow was to Lina.

Although to her, Mia was just a teammate, and their relationship was limited to living next to each other by a wall, and they would occasionally have tea and chat together.

Even so, it couldn't change the fact that Mia had given her a lot of help so far.

However, now, the pair of empty eyes, devoid of life, revealed on that head that had fallen unnaturally, were frozen on her body.

"Yotsuba, can you give me Mia's body?"

Lina had composed herself and stepped forward to make her request.

"Of course, no problem. I don't really need this thing, but... this isn't the end of the story."

"?"

Lina was puzzled.

Killing the parasitic body will also kill the parasite inside; this was an experience she gained when she hunted down and executed Alfred Fomahot.

However, now that the body called Mia is completely dead, how could it not be over?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, and just as Yotsuba Mahiro was about to activate "Lamenting Styx" to freeze the still-active spirit, Mia's corpse suddenly moved.

Even though the physical body was dead, magic was still used!

This completely defies common sense.

Suddenly, electricity crackled around Mia's body.

The lightning bolts bounced back and forth against the anti-magic barrier, and during this time, Yotsuba Mahiro held onto her neck.

"Self-destruction?"

it's not true.

Mia's body spontaneously combusted amidst the electric light, burning to ashes in an instant like dry paper.

Then—after the ashes scattered and disappeared, magical lightning appeared in the empty place, darting around in the small space enclosed by Yotsuba Mahiro.

They attempted to use this to invade Makoto's physical body.

But whenever lightning struck his body, the sparks melted away instantly, like ice and snow.

"Disintegration of the technique"

The thought waves enveloping the body completely disintegrated all incoming magic.

Immediately afterwards, the color of ice and snow filled Yotsuba Mahiro's dark pupils.
