A Flame Haze Warrior

"Click..."

With a soft opening sound, the door to a room in an apartment building in Misaki City was opened.

Fang Li walked in from outside without changing his shoes and went straight into the room.

Naturally, the Flame Haze Warrior girl followed them in.

In response, Fang Li walked into the room and spoke without turning his head.

"Since it's just about defeating Fariagani, there's no need for him to stay by my side all the time, right?"

After all, once Fariagani appears, the Flame Haze Warrior girl will definitely sense his presence immediately, so she only needs to stay nearby and there is no need to stay by Fang Li's side all the time.

However, the girl said expressionlessly, "Alastor said that ' The Hunter ' is notoriously cunning. Who knows what tricks he might pull in the dark? It would be troublesome if he took the Reiji Maigo away."

Therefore, to avoid this situation, it is better to wear close-fitting protection.

Although the girl didn't say it aloud, Fang Li was not oblivious to it.

Fang Li sighed and said, "I really made things difficult for myself. I should have known better than to expose the Reiji Maigo."

With that, Fang Li and the girl entered the room one after the other.

The identity that the Main God Space arranged for Fang Li included only an apartment room as part of his accommodation.

Although there was an entrance hall, once you entered, you were immediately in a room furnished with a bed and various other pieces of furniture. It was vastly different from the dormitory Fang Li used when he was at the Armed Detective High School, let alone a mansion.

Of course, even so, it still has all the necessary amenities, such as a kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, making it a standard studio apartment.

From this perspective, it's quite comprehensive.

"Speaking of an individual..."

Fang Li glanced in the direction the girl was.

The girl who walked in seemed to have no interest in looking around, her gaze fixed on Fang Li. Her face remained tense, and although it seemed like she was in a very high-pressure situation, it was also inexplicably cute with her innocent face.

Under these circumstances, Fang Li sighed and could only say, "In short, let's sit down first."

At least, there is a small square table in this room, and two cushions, which can serve as a place for conversation.

So the two of them sat down opposite each other at the low table.

Then, Fang Li brewed a pot of hot tea, placed a teacup in front of the girl, and poured the tea into it.

Hot steam immediately rose from the teacup, hitting the girl's face and causing her tense face to relax slightly. After taking a small sip, she spoke softly.

"So warm..."

It seems that the girl hasn't enjoyed such leisurely time in a long time.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that almost every Flame Haze Warrior travels the world day after day, searching for and defeating the Crimson Realm Denizens run rampant in this world.

In this way, living in the open and eating in the wind is just normal.

"Let me introduce myself first," Fang Li said. "My name is Fang Li, you can just call me by my name."

"Fang Li?" Alastor's voice immediately came from the pendant, as if talking to himself, "A name I've never heard of before."

As for the girl, she remained silent, as if she didn't want to tell Fang Li her name, and just stared at the hot tea in her hand.

Looking at the girl, Fang Li seemed to have thought of something. He stared directly at her and said, "I said, I've already introduced myself, shouldn't you give me your name?"

"... I am a Flame Haze Warrior." The girl closed her eyes, as if she didn't want anyone to see her gaze, and said this.

"Everyone calls me ' The Crimson-Eyed Flame-Haired Killer,' and that's enough to identify me."

In other words, the girl didn't not want to give her name, but rather she didn't have a name to give.

Fang Li only just remembered it.

The girl in front of me was raised as Flame Haze Warrior from a young age, and then formed a contract with Alastor to become Flame Haze Warrior.

The Flame Haze Warrior who formed a pact with Alastor were known as "the Crimson-Eyed Flame-Haired Killer".

In other words, the girl was raised from childhood to be the "Crimson-Eyed Flame-Haired Killer," solely to inherit this title.

In that case, there's no need for another name.

This is how girls are raised.

Naturally, the girl didn't have a name to give.

Only Fang Li knew that the girl had a name.

However, that's not the name we have now, but a name we'll choose in the future.

Currently, no one has given the girl such a name.

Therefore, the girl remains just a pure Flame Haze Warrior.

Thinking of this, Fang Li smiled slightly and said casually, "In that case, I'll call you Shana from now on."

"Shana?" The girl was stunned.

"Shana?" Alastor seemed somewhat surprised as well.

In response, Fang Li simply said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter to you what your name is, so it doesn't matter how I address you, right?"

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, but then she seemed genuinely indifferent and acquiesced.

Unfortunately, the girl didn't know that it wasn't some insignificant name.

The Treasure Tool used by the girl, the great sword that can draw out the flames within her body, is named Nietono no Shana.

That is a weapon that can even withstand the Inherent Skill, the most solid weapon in the Real World and the Crimson World.

The homonym of "Nietono no Shana" is Shana.

This is also why the girl will receive this name later in life.

"Well then, Shana, let me explain it to you more clearly."

Fang Li spoke frankly and directly.

"Fariagani is my prey. I don't care about the Flame Haze Warrior's mission. Defeating that Demon Lord will only benefit me, not harm me. So I won't give him to you. Just stay out of it, okay?"

The overly direct words finally made Shana raise her head. Although her eyes were no longer piercing, they still carried a sense of pressure as she turned to Fang Li.

"I don't understand," Shana said directly. "Why are you, a human, so obsessed with exterminating the 'Disciples'?"

"Moreover, as a human being, your power is clearly too great." Alastor's words were equally direct and unreserved. "The Reiji Maigo is of no real help in the battle; it cannot grant you such great power."

"So, who exactly are you?"
