In that instant, Luo Zhen almost wondered if he had misheard.
"What did you say?" Luo Zhen looked at Kyoko in utter astonishment. "You want to become my shikigami?"
She had to be joking, right?
However, Kyoko replied without the slightest hesitation.

Kyoko's words were incredibly earnest, without a trace of hesitation or perfunctory intent.
Anyone who saw Kyoko like this would understand that the girl was serious.
"Have you gone mad?"
Luo Zhen spoke bluntly.
"No. I'm perfectly lucid."

What else could that be but madness?
If the curse arts world learned that the Kurahashi Family's heiress had become the shikigami of a Curse Arts Criminal, the Kurahashi Family would certainly become a laughingstock.

She was practically treating her own life as a joke.
Luo Zhen did not think he was worth going that far for.
Thus, Luo Zhen said so very directly.
"What are you planning?"
Luo Zhen asked that question outright.
Unfortunately, Kyoko not only failed to answer,
