Multi-Anime, Kira Yoshikage Yearns for a Peaceful Life

For example, there was a 'Deity' at the bottom of the lake, and the one who saved her was a powerful Onmyoji.

As for the details of the 'sacrificial ritual' and Koyasu Tsubame being chosen as the offering, Kashiwagi Masao naturally chose to omit them selectively.

But even so, it was enough for Kashiwagi Nagisa to confirm one fact—

That Kira Yoshikage was a powerful Onmyoji who had killed the Deity worshipped by the Shinomiya and Kashiwagi families for centuries.

Shijo Maki silently lowered her head, scrolling through short videos on her phone.

She acted like an ordinary high school girl.

To avoid drawing attention, she had even changed into a uniform from another school.

Koyasu Tsubame suddenly spoke up:

"Maki, move two seats to the right."

"The camera's blocked, I can't see Kira-kun."

Shijo Maki sighed helplessly and shifted positions according to the earpiece's instructions.

"Huh?"

Beside Shijo Maki, the girl who had already changed out of her Bunny Girl outfit and into a Shuchiin Academy uniform blinked:

"So, are you tailing someone?"

The girl murmured to herself, but Shijo Maki acted as if she hadn't heard, still staring at her phone.

Chapter 55: Runaway Girl

Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel.

Shijo Maki stood at the hotel entrance, looking up at the 41-story skyscraper before her, muttering in confusion:

"Why would he come to a place like this?"

According to the school records, Kira Yoshikage's address should be in Ota Ward. A five-star hotel like this didn't seem like the kind of place he'd visit, did it?

The answer came quickly, as Koyasu Tsubame's gentle voice sounded through the Bluetooth earpiece:

"Kira Yoshikage probably works here as a part-timer. After all, it's a five-star hotel—employee benefits are much better than typical part-time jobs."

Shijo Maki remained silent. She had also seen Kira Yoshikage's records and knew about his family situation. Though she was born into nobility and admitted to being pampered since childhood, she wasn't the kind of Young Miss who was ignorant of the world.

So the moment she saw Kira Yoshikage's file, she found it hard to imagine how he had managed to hold on...

"Hurry up and follow him, Maki!"

Kashiwagi Nagisa's urgent voice rang in Shijo Maki's ear.

"Ah, I know, honestly!"

Shijo Maki muttered a small complaint, but her body obediently stepped into the hotel lobby, just in time to see Kira Yoshikage waiting for the elevator. Shijo Maki instinctively wanted to squeeze in with him, but a synthesized mechanical voice soon came through the earpiece:

"Don't follow him. Go to the front desk and book a room."

"Walnut?"

Shijo Maki was slightly startled, but quickly caught on and headed straight for the front desk as instructed.

While talking to the front desk, the girl's peripheral vision caught the elevator doors as they closed.

The numbers above the doorframe climbed steadily, stopping only at 41.

"Angel Ladder?"

Shijo Maki was somewhat surprised, and Kashiwagi Nagisa and Koyasu Tsubame also gasped in astonishment.

There were many five-star hotels in Tokyo, and the Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel was just one of them—not even ranking in the top ten. But on the other hand, thanks to the hotel's successful marketing strategy, the "Angel Ladder" on the top floor of the Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel had become quite famous in high society.

Though the guests it actually received were mostly middle-class, occasionally a truly wealthy family would come here for leisure, or even rent out the entire "Angel Ladder" for a banquet.

Living in Tokyo, even if they hadn't been there, they had heard of it.

Kashiwagi Nagisa murmured softly:

"If Kira-kun works at 'Angel Ladder,' should I buy this hotel?"

"That won't work."

Koyasu Tsubame thought seriously for a moment, then gently shook her head:

"The Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel is a property of the Yukinoshita Family. I don't think they'd be willing to sell."

The Yukinoshita family was just a small clan from the countryside of Chiba, not even considered a wealthy family in Chiba itself, let alone in Tokyo. In the eyes of true noble houses, they were always just country folk.

And for such a small family to break into Tokyo's high society, they needed to own property in Tokyo. The only decent asset the Yukinoshita family had was the Royal Okura Tokyo Hotel.

If they sold the hotel, the Yukinoshita family wouldn't be able to establish themselves in Tokyo at all!

At that point, the Yukinoshitas would have to retreat back to the Chiba countryside—wouldn't that mean their move to Tokyo was for nothing?

Kashiwagi Nagisa snorted lightly:

"If they won't sell, it just means the price isn't high enough!"

Unlike Shinomiya Kaguya, as the only daughter of the Kashiwagi Family, she was destined to inherit the family business in the future—unless her father gave her a younger brother, or had an Illegitimate Child somewhere.

But for an illegitimate child to inherit the family business is no simple matter, and even if she had a younger brother now, it would take over a decade before he could compete with her. For Kashiwagi Nagisa at this moment, while she couldn't do whatever she pleased with her family's wealth, she could still act recklessly without issue.

Shijo Maki muttered under her breath:

"Is that really necessary? Instead of buying the hotel, wouldn't it be better to just come here directly?"

Taking the room card from the front desk clerk, Shijo Maki walked straight toward the elevator.

"Don't follow too closely."

Kashiwagi Nagisa quickly reminded her.

"I'm not stupid."

Shijo Maki mumbled softly, flashing the room card in her hand before the hidden camera on her chest.

Her room was on the 31st floor—taking the elevator was perfectly reasonable, right?

As for the 41st floor, she would go there, but not now, not today.

After all, it wasn't her job to chase after him; her goal was only to confirm where Kira Yoshikage worked. The rest wasn't her concern. If anyone needed to go to the 41st floor, it should be Kashiwagi Nagisa herself. You don't make your best friend do the man-chasing for you, do you?

Inside the elevator, Sakurajima Mai, who had been following Shijo Maki the whole time, wore a slightly complicated expression:

"So, the person you're tailing is actually Kira Yoshikage?"

Sakurajima Mai thought it was a bit of a coincidence, because she was probably, maybe, possibly tailing Kira Yoshikage too...

Although she was 'forced' into it, the behavior could only be described as stalking.

Was this a case of different paths leading to the same destination?

Still, Kira-kun should have noticed by now.

After all, Shijo Maki's stalking skills were hardly sophisticated, and Kira Yoshikage was someone who could kill a god!

Setagaya Ward, LycoReco.

A mature woman with long, wavy brown hair, red-rimmed glasses, and a beautiful face slid open the shoji and asked impatiently:

"Kurumi, is it done?"

On the tatami, the blonde little girl sitting in a duck pose looked up hesitantly:

"I don't have any problems on my end, but are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course!"

Nakahara Mizuki confidently flipped her hair, striking a seductive pose:

"As long as I step in, I'll definitely succeed!"

Kurumi watched Mizuki preening herself and commented dryly:

"Aren't you afraid Chisato will shoot you dead?"

Mizuki patted her chest with full confidence:

"Relax, Chisato never kills anyone!"

"That was before."

Kurumi's words were sharp:

"Now she'll kill you without hesitation."

"And there's Takina too. Chisato might still have some old feelings, but Takina will absolutely open fire with a machine gun!"

Nakahara Mizuki remained undaunted:

"No problem! If I succeed, I'll be their sister-in-law."

"Even if they want to kill me, they'll have to get past Kira-kun first!"

Kurumi opened her mouth, then closed it, unsure what to say.

Are you really that confident you'll succeed?

Don't end up failing to seduce him and getting blown to ash by Kira Yoshikage instead...

And besides.

If you were really that experienced, you wouldn't still be single, still a virgin.

Kurumi sighed and declared solemnly:

"In any case, you forced me into this. It has nothing to do with me!"

Even if they got caught later, she would definitely shift all the blame onto Nakahara Mizuki.

She had to cut ties immediately, draw a clear line, and avoid getting shot to death by Chisato and Takina!

It wasn't that she was scared—she just wanted to make sure someone was left to collect Mizuki's corpse.

Chapter 56: You Don't Need a Gun to Say Hello, Right? Hey!

Eight o'clock in the evening, Okura Tokyo Hotel, "Angel Ladder".

Ding-dong~!

A mature woman with coffee-brown hair, dressed in flashy attire, stepped out of the elevator. She spotted the familiar figure almost instantly, her eyes lighting up as she strode toward the bar on legs sheathed in sexy black stockings.

Nakahara Mizuki plopped down onto a barstool, smiling sweetly. "Yo~, handsome~, give me a Long Island Iced Tea."

Kira Yoshikage, who was wiping a glass, glanced at her, then silently began gathering ingredients to mix the cocktail.

Nakahara Mizuki read the nameplate on Kira Yoshikage's uniform, sounding out the characters. "Kira Queen?"

"This name... surprisingly, it's exactly the same as a friend I used to have~"

Nakahara Mizuki smiled teasingly at Kira Yoshikage.

"Is that so? What a coincidence."

Kira Yoshikage's expression remained unchanged as he slid the finished cocktail over.

"A real coincidence."

Nakahara Mizuki took a sip of her drink, her eyes playful. "Not just the name—the face is exactly the same, too."

Kira Yoshikage didn't respond to that, instead asking,
