???
Hearing that, the latter had a strange look in his eyes, “Your feet don’t hurt anymore?”
“Huh? Ah!!”
Wow——
Inexplicably, she fell headlong into the water, creating splashes, and her whole body was immersed in the water.
Spitting out bubbles, the girl had a panicked expression.
The pain in her ankles made her unable to hold up her body for a while, and it wasn’t until someone came close that she hugged him tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Glug glug—
“Cough cough!!”
“I thought you really forgot about your injury.”
“I just… Ah!”
Her body was naked, and so was his…not to mention, being held in his arms like this, everything that should be seen and shouldn’t be seen was completely exposed to him.
The girl quickly covered her chest and struggled, but the pain in her feet made it impossible for her to break away.
In the dilemma, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be an ostrich.
It’s just her trembling eyelashes and the spreading pink blush on her tender skin revealed everything about her emotional up downs.
‘It was all seen, no, not just seen, but even touched by him…’ The heartbeat of the hot girl being held princess-style raced wildly.
Being held in his arms like this, she could clearly feel the warmth of his body and the touch of his muscles.
It was embarrassingly intimate.
A strange feeling gradually welled up inside her heart…
“To be honest, with your eyes closed like this, it’s easy for me to misunderstand you.”
‘I’m not a herbivore.’
Mu Xiaoxiao, who had to bear it a little hard, twitched his lips, murmuring with difficulty, “Does this count as acquiescence?”
“of course not……”
As she opened her eyes, the girl was blocked back before she could even finish her words of rejection.
Izumi looked at the face so close to hers and his aggressive movements in disbelief.
He, how could he.
She must refuse him, but…
The girl’s resistance was gradually weakening.
Was she really going to do this with him here?
But wasn’t it too weird to do such a thing without even confessing their feelings?
At least tell me whether you like me or not…or let me…
‘However, she didn’t want to refuse.
Trembling—
Just when the hot girl was falling a little bit, he suddenly let go.
Before Izumi could figure out what was going on, Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and put her down.
“Get dressed, we are going back.”
“……Um.”
The girl agreed in a muffled voice, not angry, but there was no happiness on her face either.
Her expression seemed a bit complicated, and it wasn’t until Mu Xiaoxiao turned around to put on his clothes, that she rubbed her hot ears.
Talking a deep breath, she suppressed her overly turbulent heart and did not mention this embarrassing behavior for both of them.
But the impulse from before needed to be cooled down…its just it was getting quite difficult.
“About that Hachishaku-sama, aren’t you concerned?” So, the girl changed the subject, “I thought you would kill her or at least capture her.”
“That guy is basically harmless.”
“Besides scaring people with appearance, I don’t think she had ever done anything evil..and that isn’t even her fault.”
“So it’s better to let her go, it’s not like the ghosts don’t deserve to live.”
He can deal with yellow hairs, evil scum, demons, devils…whatever but on the premise that they are evil or not…
If you’re wondering how.. he could sense their emotions and malice.
And after fighting that monster lady he was sure that she didn’t have any fighting ability, not to mention doing evil, he just felt her fear and cowardice…and came to a conclusion that she was basically harmless.
So why would kill a harmless pitiful ghost who isn’t doing anything..
As for capturing…
“Besides…she can help me look after my house if she stays here, which is good.”
“Xiao Xiao, do you have a home here?”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head and did not respond.
He just looked at the town below the mountain, his face under the moonlight showing a strange and terrifying expression.
“Sparsely populated and isolated from the outside world, this is a great place indeed…”
The two of them walked away while chatting.
It was not until they left that Hachishaku-sama re-emerged; staring at Mu Xiaoxiao’s back without moving for a long time.
Fear, curiosity…finally turned into a sigh.

The next day.
Tokyo
Several luxury cars were parked at the entrance of a certain corporate building.
Bodyguards in suits and leather shoes were guarding the door, and the elevator led directly to the top-floor meeting room..cough let’s focus on important things.
Elderly and middle-aged, although not many in number, but all of them were Japanese elites, nobles, and financial magnates who controlled most of the country’s resources.
At this time, they all sat together in a meeting.
“Shinohara is dead, and he died right in front of us.”
Thinking of the scene at that time, several witnesses in the conference room had lingering fears.
“What about the Kamishiro family?”
“Forget it, now talking about the Kamishiro family is pointless. The latest news is that the town has been cleansed,” one of the men said. “Our people that had gone there, never came back… and now that area is completely out of our control.”
“Who did it? To be so arrogant, it’s like a declaration of war!” an old man with a cane fumed.
“”It is a declaration of war, but we don’t know who the enemy is. There were rumors before that it was a monster…” A certain man’s eyes flashed red, “But based on inference, it is probably related to those outsiders.”
“The outsiders?”
“I also investigated, but those people are just ordinary high school students from an ordinary school.”
“But it cannot be denied that it was their appearance that triggered Shinohara’s death and this series of changes. This is also the only clue.”
Oh well.. it seems Mu Xiaoxiao and his group’s presence has been noticed.
“In that case, let’s just arrest them. What kind of trouble can some kids make?”
“And what if the other party is not an ordinary person, everyone should know that our power is fragile in the face of those forces. I suggest that we proceed with caution.”
A disagreement occurred.
Finally, he was interrupted by the man with red eyes, “After Shinohara’s death, the Kamishiro family had lost control. Of course, this matter cannot be left alone, but rash actions aren’t good either. So using magic to counter magic is the best approach.”
“I agree.”
“I agree, too.”
Now, most of those who agreed had their eyes gleaming.
“The problem is such beings are very rare.”
“I have something interesting here,” the old man with the cane spoke, “a videotape that might be worth a try.”
A videotape? What is that?
“It just so happens that I also have a powerful helper here whom I can introduce to you——”
The man with eyes flashing red at the beginning stood up and clapped his hands.
The doors of the meeting room opened, and a red-haired woman in a black and white maid outfit walked in on high heels.
With an enchanting figure and stunning face, she walked in and then looked around at the people inside with a sweet smile.
As a result, the people with eyes flashing red lights stood up one after another and bowed.
“My name is Shizuka… Dear gentlemen, I look forward to your guidance in the future, and I hope that you can use your remaining lives to serve our master to the fullest.”
Mysterious power swirled in her crimson eyes.
“……makes sense.”
“Understood.”
“Rest assured, Miss Shizuka, our existence is naturally to serve that person.”
They had no idea who that person was, but it didn’t matter.
After being controlled and hypnotized, these people would even kill themselves without any questions.
There was a chorus of echoes, and the red light also became one.
The maid’s smile gradually widened, her lips raised high, “Then, let’s start with that videotape you mentioned.”
