The Blood Moon Rises (5.5K)
"So, which faction does Miss Marin belong to?"
Marin just smiled and didn't say anything, but her purplish-red eyes were filled with longing.
Marin has spent three years here since she was sold at the age of thirteen.
Anyone who has just arrived in the Lawless City, no matter who they are, will want to return to the outside world.
However, as time goes by, such thoughts will become weaker and weaker, and eventually, one will unknowingly become tainted by the Lawless City lifestyle.
Only Marin remained undeterred, still yearning for it.
So if I had to say, she doesn't belong to either of these two factions; she belongs to the faction that lets her heart soar.
They longed for wings to grow from their backs, so they could eventually fly away from this hellish place that resembled a malignant tumor.
"We've arrived, Yotsuba Clan- sama."
Marin respectfully opened the car door.
Before they knew it, the carriage had passed through the red-light district and finally stopped at the foot of the White Pagoda.
But what came into view was a long red carpet laid out from under their feet, leading straight into the tall tower.
Countless women stood on both sides, bowing their heads in unison.
"Welcome, Lord Yotsuba Clan."
The women all spoke up to offer their congratulations.
Almost all of these women, like Marin, were not prostitutes from the red-light district.
It seems she belongs to the group that sells her art but not her body.
However, this display of power is truly grand, completely surpassing that of the Arcadia Trading Company.
"Are you going to be so competitive in this regard, Snow Woman?"
As he entered the tower, his voice lingered in the empty hall.
Jingle--
Accompanied by the crisp Suzune, the sound of wooden clogs stepping on the stairs suddenly echoed in the empty hall.
Looking up, one could see a silver fox spirit, clad in a snow-white kimono and possessing an alluring beauty, gracefully descending from the top of the stairs.
The nine tails swayed gently and slowly, gleaming under the lights.
Beneath the long skirt, a pair of delicate, jade-like legs tightly bound in black stockings were faintly visible.
Like a display stand, the white jade-like nail polish, as smooth as a pearl, rests lightly on the wooden clogs, its alluring violet color shining particularly passionately under the cool lighting.
She held a delicate iron fan in her hand, from which a string of bells hung, swaying gently with her steps and making a tinkling sound.
As she gracefully descended the steps, her kimono inexplicably began to slowly slip off, landing precisely on her proud, snowy breasts and securing it to her delicate shoulders.
Her alluring skin, previously hidden, was gradually exposed to the air, as if trying to attract his attention.
The animal markings on her alluring and beautiful face added a touch of wildness to her appearance.
A smile slowly spread across her delicate cherry lips.
"Master, you are too kind. I have missed you so much over the years, which is why I have welcomed you in such a grand and solemn manner."
"I absolutely did not have any jealousy or rivalry with Miss Alpha."
"Besides, you are the true owner of this White Tower. I still feel this is not enough~"
Flirtatious.
After several years, the Snow Woman had completely shed her former naivety and become alluring and captivating, fully embodying the seductive charm of the fox clan.
"Why don't you speak, my dear master? Don't you miss me at all?"
As she spoke, the Snow Woman appeared behind him as if by teleportation, gently leaning against him. Her slender, jade-like hands softly clasped his chest, and her nine tails nestled against him, displaying her alluring charm.
"Oh dear, Master, your heart is racing!"
Feeling the heartbeat echoing within Mahiro's chest, Snow Woman- onna chuckled sweetly again.
"Are you in heat? What's wrong with you?"
"Hmph, it's alright if Master thinks that way. From the moment you saved me years ago, I've said that my life belongs to you..."
Her voice abruptly stopped.
Before she could finish speaking, a flash of white light forcibly separated her from Mahiro's body.
"Who goes there?! How dare you cause trouble here!"
The Snow Woman revealed her true power, snapping open her iron fan with a snap, causing her nine tails to stand on end as if their fur had been bristled.
Because she actually felt a strong sense of threat from the white light just now!
"You are not allowed to tempt Mahiro."
A slightly childish voice echoed in his ears. Looking down, he saw a young girl with long silver hair standing in front of Mahiro with her arms outstretched.
The girl's calm eyes gleamed with a sharp, inorganic light.
Who is this?
She had no idea that her master had such a terrifying girl by his side.
You have to understand, with her current strength, she wouldn't lose even if she faced Alpha head-on, but in front of this girl, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
"Miss Est is right. Snow Woman, you have broken our agreement."
A distinctly different, cool, and ethereal voice quietly rang out.
On the gentle steps, several dark figures were lined up in a row.
The girl at the head of the group had her signature long, flowing blonde hair swaying gently in the breeze, and her azure eyes radiated a dignified sharpness.
"Oh dear, I wondered who it was, it's Miss Alpha..."
Ignoring the countless gazes directed at her, the Snow Woman picked up her folding fan and gently covered half her face, a foxy smile playing on her lips beneath the fan.
"Miss Alpha, I don't quite understand what you're saying~ I didn't seduce you, Master. I was just expressing my feelings of longing. Is that not allowed?"
"Don't be ridiculous, you vixen! You're clearly trying to seduce the lord!"
As they were talking, a dark figure suddenly flashed across the platform and appeared beside Mahiro. A streak of sky-blue hair flashed by, and then Mahiro's arm was forcibly embedded in something soft.
It's obvious without even thinking that this is definitely Epsilon.
Because the 99% slime content of this bust feels incredibly noticeable.
There's no other way; after all, the Epsilon family's ancestral genes dictate this petite stature. To fill it out and make it look realistic, the only option is to use a slime.
Even though she's petite and has a flat figure, she's still pretty good...
"You are not allowed to go near Mahiro either."
Est unleashed divine power, shoving Epsilon away from him.
Her earnest expression was like that of a mother protecting her child from harm, only a little too petite.
"Lady Est, how could you do this...?"
Epsilon was both surprised and frustrated; they had only just hugged each other briefly.
"Alright, you guys, stop fooling around."
Seeing that the group was about to start arguing again, Mahiro finally couldn't help but speak up and stop them.
Turning to Alpha, who was leaping down from the ramp, he asked:
"By the way, what are you all doing here?"
He made sure to avoid all eyes and ears when he went out.
Alpha saw through his thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, "When Gamma told me, I guessed you would act ahead of time, so I brought Epsilon, who happened to be at the Chamber of Commerce, directly here."
Mahiro smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
As expected of Alpha, who has been by his side the longest, he knows even his habits very well.
"Okay, how many people came in total?"
"Yes, as you instructed, so we didn't bring too many people this time. Not counting the Seven Shadows, we only gathered fourteen people in total."
"That's quite a lot..."
Mahiro slightly troubled.
Just like the children in the Black Bullet World, the Demonic Possession in this world are the same. Although they are taught combat skills and allowed to do what they want, they are not taught combat skills.
But if possible, it's best to avoid fighting.
Especially since it's his private matter.
"I understand you're worried about our safety, but how can we not follow the leader when he's on a mission?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, okay?"
Alpha, with its clear mind, once again saw through his heart, prompting Mahiro to reply with a deadpan expression.
"Snow Woman, find us a place to rest first, and then we can talk about the information you and Alpha have obtained."
"I'm all ready, Master. Please follow me."
The Snow Woman led them to the top floor of the tower to rest.
The Japanese-style room that comes into view clearly indicates that this is the Snow Woman's boudoir.
As for rest...
It was a genuine break, even a bit unconventional.
Mahiro lay on the large bed in the center of the room, his body resting on Snow Woman's legs, with nine fluffy fox tails covering him like a blanket.
Alpha behind him was massaging his head to relax him, Epsilon was kneading his shoulders, and someone else was relaxing his feet.
A young girl was kneeling on the bed beside him, feeding him and giving him tea from time to time.
He lay there like a dead fish, letting them do as they pleased, while Est straddled him with a resentful look.
Is this the legendary happiness of King Zhou?
To be honest, he didn't enjoy it at all...

"I remember you should be Victoria from 559, right?"
"Yes, Mahiro, I am number 559. I didn't expect you to remember me..."
While enjoying the company of beautiful women, Mahiro slightly raised his head to look at the elf who was giving him a devout foot massage.
Her long, pinkish-gold hair, the bangs that covered one eye, and her noble and holy appearance left a deep impression on him.
I found it a few months ago when I went for a walk with Alpha and the others.
I never expected to be able to go on a mission with Alpha and the others in such a short time.
Looks like you're working really hard.
However, the elf whose name he mentioned seemed quite excited.
It shouldn't be that bad...
Then, he looked up at the girl who had fed him.
"Who are you..."
"I am Niu, serving under Lord Gamma, esteemed Mahiro."
The girl voluntarily gave her name.
She was the same shop assistant who had struck up a conversation with him at the Arcadia Trading Company yesterday and led him to the VIP room.
