Multi-Anime, Kira Yoshikage Desires a Peaceful Life

Kira Yoshikage glanced down at his watch and gave a slight nod:

"I can."

You can't refuse any request from a customer, because work is work.

Nakano Miku, who had successfully added Kira Yoshikage on LINE, let out a relieved sigh and tucked her phone away with satisfaction. Nakano Nino, who had also been silent for a long time, quietly opened her small purse and pulled out all the bills inside, handing them to Kira Yoshikage in one go, apologizing in a low voice:

"Sorry, Kira-kun, this is all I brought."

Kira Yoshikage's gaze fell on the girl's fair little hand, then shifted to the stack of Fukuzawa Yukichis, estimating a total of twenty-one bills.

Many people have two hundred thousand in savings, but a high school girl who carries two hundred thousand in cash on her is a genuine rich girl!

Anyone else might feel a sudden urge to stop trying so hard.

Kira Yoshikage seemed unmoved, but he still accepted the stack of Fukuzawa Yukichis, unavoidably brushing against the girl's palm in the process.

Ah! Just as I imagined—soft and delicate, unforgettable!

But this is work time. A peaceful life just requires endurance.

As for Nakano Nino's actions, the other four Nakano sisters didn't stop her, and even regretted not having cash on themselves.

For saving a life, not to mention two hundred thousand, even two million or twenty million would be nothing!

Besides, how could someone like Kira-kun possibly be short on money?

Though he looks like an ordinary office worker, maybe he's actually on a secret mission here, or like in the novels, this could be some kind of training!

Just then, a female voice came from behind them:

"Kira-kun~ I'm here again!"

Nakano Nino turned around, her eyes landing on long legs wrapped in black tights. Her gaze traveled upward, and the owner of those black-stockinged legs was a long black-haired beauty with a white headband and wine-red eyes.

And at that moment, those wine-red eyes were full of mischief.

Kira Yoshikage's gaze passed over Nakano Nino and settled on the black-haired girl's fair little hand:

"What would you like to drink?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down on the barstool to the left of Nakano Mayu, placed the document bag in her hand on the counter, gently swayed her black-stockinged legs, and said in a lazy tone:

"Long Island Iced Tea."

Kira Yoshikage gave a slight nod, then served a glass of lemon water.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the lemon slice in the glass and sighed helplessly:

"Kira-kun, if you're just going to give me lemon water every time, why do you still ask what I want to drink?"

"Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol."

"An acquaintance?"

Nakano Ichika studied Kasumigaoka Utaha with a look of suspicion.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her cheek on her hand, keenly sensing Kira Yoshikage's shifting gaze, and asked with a smile:

"Kira-kun, aren't you going to ask why I'm here?"

Kira Yoshikage answered honestly:

"That's not something I need to consider."

"What a boring man~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha teased, then gently patted the document bag on the table, her eyes unconsciously softening:

"I want you to take a look at this—the third volume of Love Beat."

Kira Yoshikage looked slightly surprised:

"That fast?"

It had only been a little over ten days since their last meeting, and she'd written an entire volume in that time. At an average of about a hundred thousand words per volume, that meant ten thousand words a day—an impressive speed among writers in Japan.

After all, the average pace for Japanese light novel authors is one volume every six months, with the fastest taking three months.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's writing speed was nearly ten times that, surpassing 99% of the nation's authors.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her chin proudly, revealing her pale neck:

"Heheh, this is the result of me staying up late for half a month straight!"

"Is that something to be proud of?" Nakano Mayu wanted to retort—no matter how you look at it, staying up late is a bad thing, right?

Kira Yoshikage didn't take the document bag the girl pushed toward him; instead, he lowered his head slightly to meet her gaze:

"So, why do you want me to see it?"

The girl's slender fingers gripped the straw, stirring the ice and lemon slice in the glass without pause, her tone resolute:

"Didn't I already say? I'm going to make you my reader!"

"I'm at work."

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have expected this, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"It's fine, I can wait. There's still ten minutes, you know~"

Kira Yoshikage got off work at 10:30, and it was already 10:20 now.

Precisely because she knew Kira Yoshikage's shift end time, Kasumigaoka Utaha had deliberately chosen this moment to come over.

And—

Without waiting for Kira Yoshikage to refuse, Kasumigaoka Utaha raised a slender finger and wagged it in front of his face:

"10,000 Yen, just for a look. Pretty good deal, right?"

Kira Yoshikage's tone was calm:

"Actually, I've always been a loyal reader of yours."

The girl's wine-red eyes brimmed with laughter, her rosy lips curving into a pleased arc:

"Kira-kun, that's not what you said last time~ 'A passable roll of toilet paper,' remember?"

As the words fell, Kasumigaoka Utaha added with a smile:

"Still, I don't dislike someone like Kira-kun, who stays true to his desires~."

Kira Yoshikage didn't respond, still busy with his work.

10:30.

Kira Yoshikage picked up the document bag Kasumigaoka Utaha had handed him, left the counter, and headed to the changing room.

The colleague taking over his shift looked at the six beautiful girls seated at the counter and put on an eager smile:

"Ladies, what would you like to drink..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha left the moment he spoke, walking straight to a nearby booth sofa.

The Nakano Quintuplets exchanged glances, reading each other's thoughts, and followed without hesitation.

Nakano Ichika got straight to the point:

"You can see them, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little surprised by the girl's directness, but nodded lightly:

"Yes."

She could indeed see them, which was why she hadn't gone straight to the counter when she first spotted the Nakano Quintuplets.

Avoiding harm was human nature; she had no reason to put herself in danger.

Seeing her admit it, Nakano Ichika's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning:

"Then, don't you want to know what we talked about with Kira-kun?"

The long black-haired girl narrowed her wine-red eyes slightly:

"And what's the price?"

Nakano Ichika sat down beside her and said softly:

"Just tell us what happened to you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, then extended her hand to Nakano Ichika:

"Kasumigaoka Utaha."

Nakano Ichika shook it generously:

"Nakano Ichika. These are Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Mayu."

"You first, or me first?"

Faced with Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Nakano Ichika didn't drag it out and laid everything out directly, showing their sincerity.

After listening to the girl's account, Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured softly:

"Psionic Users and Evil Spirits? It's just like a novel!"

The Nakano Quintuplets didn't rush her, waiting quietly for Kasumigaoka Utaha to speak:

"My story isn't anything special."

"Half a month ago, I was robbed by a member of the Anti-Intellectual Cult. That was also the first time I saw an Evil Spirit. It was growing on that cultist's back, looking like some kind of 'back spirit.' Thinking back now, that must have been the day I awakened my 'Spiritual Sight.'"

Nakano Mayu couldn't help pressing further:

"Then in these two weeks, have you encountered any other Evil Spirits?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a long time, then nodded quietly:

"Yes."

"How many?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head, her body trembling slightly:

"I see them every day."

"How could that be?"

Nakano Mayu found it hard to believe. Were Evil Spirits really this common?

Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her head, her tone suddenly turning eerie:

"Because that Evil Spirit is right under my bed!"

The Nakano Quintuplets' faces went pale. Even their breathing stopped, not daring to make a sound.

Chapter 47: Demanding Updates Even After Death!

The Nakano Quintuplets couldn't help putting themselves in Kasumigaoka Utaha's shoes. But the thought of an Evil Spirit lurking under their own beds, following them every day, made their complexions turn somewhat ashen.

"Pfft!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't hold back a laugh.

Nakano Nino caught on:

"Everything you just said was fake?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth with a light chuckle:

"How could it be real? If there really were an Evil Spirit under my bed, how could I possibly be here right now?"

"I just wanted to crack a joke, lighten the mood a little. If I scared you, I apologize."

Nakano Mayu puffed out her cheeks. She was actually a bit angry.

But she also felt that getting upset over such a small matter would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Besides, Kasumigaoka Utaha's joke was essentially cursing herself, so there was no reason to be mad.

This woman's personality really was awfully nasty!

Nakano Ichika narrowed her eyes slightly, deliberately drawing out her tone:

"Eh, it was a joke? So you can't see it, huh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile stiffened. She instinctively glanced back over her shoulder—
