Sorry, I Don't Like Prostitutes (5.2K)

The Kiriha Kisaki pity.

"I'm not interested." Mahiro shrugged and countered, "Do you really want to be drained of blood by that woman?"

"Haha, I'm not interested either."

The Kiriha Kisaki answered quite frankly, without the slightest embarrassment at being questioned in return.

He loved only one person, and could only love one person: the deceased demon Touka Fujisaka.

That's where his heart belongs; he would never betray it, no matter what.

Mahiro the memories and love in the man's eyes, but to avoid being unexpectedly fed a dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), he spoke up to interrupt Kiriha Kisaki's thoughts.

"You just asked me why I was locked up in the Prison Barrier. To be honest, I don't know either. I woke up here."

"If you didn't commit a crime, shouldn't Natsuki Minamiya have arrested you?" Kiriha Kisaki pushed up his glasses again, his eyes now showing a hint of inquiry.

"If kissing a little girl counts as a crime... then let's leave it at that."

As soon as Mahiro finished speaking, he was met with a burst of laughter.

Many people almost laughed so hard they doubled over, and even the seemingly most refined Kiriha Kisaki couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Kissing a little girl and you get locked up in Prison Barrier?

What kind of ridiculous nonsense is this!

Anyone who appears here has committed heinous crimes; they either want to overthrow the world or destroy something. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as utterly wicked.

Oh, right, except for that crippled blond vampire.

Perhaps someone thought of that blond guy, so they tentatively asked:

"The little girl you mentioned kissing, could it be Natsuki Minamiya?"

"If you're referring to the black-haired loli in the main hall of the sanctuary, then that's her." Mahiro shrugged and said casually.

Upon hearing this, all the laughter abruptly ceased.

Everyone looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, and some even gave him a thumbs up, admiring him as a real man.

This is something many people want to do but cannot.

No wonder they were thrown into the Prison Barrier to be punished.

"Was the person you kissed really Natsuki Minamiya? She is the Witch of the Void, and the creator of this Prison Barrier. How did you get close to her?" Kiriha Kisaki, somewhat incredulous.

He admitted that Yotsuba Mahiro's physical strength seemed to surpass that of the beastmen.

But who is Natsuki Minamiya?

They were all trapped here and unable to escape, so they were powerless to resist. How could this boy, who looked to be only 18 years old, possibly get close to that witch?

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Mahiro shrugged helplessly and said, "Anyway, when I woke up I saw a little girl, and I couldn't help but kiss her. Then the girl woke up, waved her little hand, and dumped me here."

Although some crucial details have been omitted, this is indeed the truth.

"You're hopeless."

Kiriha Kisaki was now certain that Yotsuba Mahiro the truth, and even his gaze towards him was filled with endless pity, as if to say, "You're brave, a real man, but you're finished, brother."

The others stared blankly at Yotsuba Mahiro, because what he said matched the reaction of that woman, Natsuki Minamiya.

However, the black-haired girl in the twelve-layered kimono had stopped what she was doing at some point, raised her head and looked at him with a strange and inexplicable look in her eyes.

"Hey bro, you know Natsuki Minamiya pretty well, right? What do you think is a way to get her forgiveness?"

Mahiro deliberately moved closer to Kiriha Kisaki and asked.

Seeking forgiveness is a pretense; gathering intelligence is the real purpose.

Although he remembered some of the plot of this world, he had almost completely forgotten the setting, after all, Strike the Blood was a work with a complex setting.

The jumbled mess inside is almost like an encyclopedia.

Most importantly, he needs to know which point in time he is in, but since the Kiriha Kisaki is here, it means that we are at least seven years before the beginning of the story.

Because of Touka Fujisaka's death, Kiriha Kisaki slaughtered many of the Lion King Agency's demon mages, which is why he was imprisoned in the Prison Barrier.

However, Kiriha Kisaki was unaware of his plans and instead kindly explained to him:

"Actually, the person who truly understands Natsuki Minamiya isn't me, but rather that witch in the opposite corner, Aya Sengakuji, and the inextricable grudges and entanglements between her and Natsuki Minamiya."

The voice of the Kiriha Kisaki was very soft, so that only the two of them could hear it.

His gaze, however, fell upon the beautiful girl who was all alone in the corner.

Dressed in a jet-black twelve-layered kimono, she resembled an endless night shrouding the stars and all things, her graceful figure completely concealed, exuding an air of mystery.

Upon hearing Kiriha Kisaki's words, his gaze followed her and he found that she was observing him, while her beautiful face gave him a lazy smile.

"That's Aya Sengakuji, who was said to have been a close friend of Natsuki Minamiya. Five years ago, they had a fight due to differing ideologies, and Natsuki Minamiya personally imprisoned her—"

Kiriha Kisaki spoke softly, slowly recounting the events of five years ago.

At that time, due to her doubts about magic and the existence of demons, Aya Sengakuji the "Book of Dark Oath Grimoire"Dark Oath Grimoire from the LCO's secret library and cast it on Itogami Island, causing great damage to the island.

Once the supernatural abilities are eliminated in the Demon Sanctuary, the entire island will sink into the sea, and all 560,000 people will die.

Therefore, when she was only sixteen years old, Natsuki Minamiya stopped Aye and imprisoned her in the "Prison Barrier".

But Mahiro wasn't concerned about that matter; what he cared about was five years ago.

As far as he knew, the story began ten years after the Dark Oath Grimoire incident, meaning there were still five years until the story began.

It seems like a lot can be accomplished in these five years.

For example, we could study the familiars and angels of this world more thoroughly.

Seeing his pensive expression, Kiriha Kisaki looked at him with a hint of sympathy and remarked:

"Oh dear, I really don't understand why she would do something like that."

Because this matter is inherently contradictory, since Aya Sengakuji is a witch, if the phone that eliminates supernatural powers were to be used, wouldn't she herself become an ordinary person again?

What does all that years of obsession with magic amount to?

"That was just a small experiment, done to prove that it wasn't us witches who were cursed, but the world as a whole—that's what it was all about."

Suddenly, Aya Sengakuji stood up, her slender figure slowly leaning towards Mahiro and the others, and a melodious voice emanated from her mouth.

"Do you all think the world is right as it is now? A world where humans use magic in an ordinary way, and vampires and werewolves walk around carefree—do you think that's right?"

I've been pondering whether magic or sorcery truly exists only in people's imaginations.

Is a world where these things don't exist the correct way for this world to exist?

"My ally, Natsuki Minamiya, has been treated so badly by them, belittling and exploiting us witches at will—"

Her calm voice created ripples like a pebble dropped into a pond.

Perhaps she felt inferior about her identity as a witch, and resented being despised and used by the world.

Therefore, there was a desire to change everything.

"Haha—although none of the monsters in the prison are normal, the craziest one has to be you Aya Sengakuji," Kiriha Kisaki Mikasa chuckled.

Aya Sengakuji smiled gently, her beautiful cherry lips slightly upturned. She didn't intend to say anything more and looked at Yotsuba Mahiro, who had piqued her interest.

It's quite amusing that a guy who looks like an ordinary person possesses the power to almost break through a prison and actually kissed his former friend, Natsuki.

She knew Natsuki Minamiya's personality very well and really wanted to see her expression at that time.

"Speaking of which, you want to understand Natsuki Minamiya. She, like me, is one of the witches. You actually despise and fear witches, don't you?" Aya Sengakuji suddenly approached, leaned down, and whispered to him.

A faint, sweet fragrance immediately enveloped him, which was very refreshing.

But when asked about Aya Sengakuji's question, he gave a strange look.

"Why be afraid? Why despise? We are all creatures walking on this earth, prisoners within this world. Are you witches not one head and two arms, but three heads and six arms?"

His words left Aya Sengakuji speechless, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

... Prisoners imprisoned within the world?

A fleeting, intriguing light flashed across her beautiful eyes and brows.

"However, if you know anything about Natsuki Minamiya, could you please tell me her details?"

He wanted to get closer to this Librarian Witch, and using Natsuki Minamiya was arguably the best excuse.

But it seems that Aya Sengakuji isn't buying it.

"It's no use. The only thing you can do is stay obediently in prison and wait for her anger to subside. If she doesn't forgive you, you'll have to stay in prison with us forever. Heh, your treatment is much better than hers! As the key to the prison, she must abide by the witch's contract and stay alone in the barrier forever!"

Aya Sengakuji spoke, her pretty face once again took on a resentful and cynical expression, and her calm tone was tinged with anger and resentment at others' lack of ambition.

The so-called Void Witch, or rather, Natsuki Minamiya, is the guardian, doorkeeper, and key of the Prison Barrier.

Basically, the Prison Barrier is the name of a magic spell used to seal away evil demons and guide criminals—she is the only one who can use that spell. The Prison Barrier is maintained by the magic of Natsuki, which is why her true form stays in the prison.

"In other words, Natsuki Minamiya is like the warden of this prison," Mahiro said with a slight quip.

However, this resulted in the dissatisfaction of Aya Sengakuji.

"That's not true!"

Her emotions inexplicably became agitated, and her voice revealed utter anger, even a hint of gritted teeth.

"You don't understand witches at all. A witch is another name for a woman who makes a pact with a demon."

Through their guardians, who are demon servants, they can wield the same power as the demons themselves.

Witches possess human bodies and can wield magical power comparable to high-ranking demons, even surpassing the highest-ranking mages.

However, making a pact with a demon comes at a price.

Natsuki Minamiya needs to do is seal this huge, empty prison forever, alone, until her death!

That was the curse the demon had given her; guarding this prison was the pact she made with the demon!

After saying these words, Aya Sengakuji realized that she had been too emotional and instantly returned to her calm and serene state.

The others, however, were used to it; they had seen countless times the insults directed at Natsuki Minamiya for being stupid.

Only Yotsuba Mahiro fell into deep thought.

Although he was aware of the relationship between Aya Sengakuji and Natsuki Minamiya, he had a strange feeling that everything Aya Sengakuji did wasn't to overthrow the world, but rather to save her foolish best friend?

Hmm, he could smell a faint fragrance of lilies in it.

But Kiriha Kisaki seemed to misunderstand, patting him on the shoulder and saying lazily:

"Don't worry, Natsuki Minamiya has a strong sense of justice. She won't act rashly and detain an insignificant person. In two or three days, she will definitely throw you out of prison."

"No, I'm not in a hurry about this. I find staying in prison quite interesting. After all, you guys here are all talented and have pleasant voices. I don't think staying here is so bad."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Even Kiriha Kisaki thought he was an interesting guy.

Why do I find prison more interesting when freedom outside is so wonderful?

However, Yotsuba Mahiro is right about one thing: everyone in this prison is truly a talented individual.

Chapter 332 Sorry, I don't like prostitutes (5.2K)

Afterwards, Yotsuba Mahiro chatted with the group of vicious criminals for a while to build rapport.

Just as he was about to gather more information, the situation inside the prison suddenly changed again.

Like building blocks in a jigsaw puzzle, the original long table and hall have disappeared, replaced by a narrow passageway.

Rows of large doors are embedded on both sides of the wall, making it look like a hotel corridor.

"Don't be surprised. That was where we ate and had free time. This is the area for resting at night," Kiriha Kisaki explained to him, with an attitude of complete familiarity.

However, one has to admire the power of this prison; it seems to have its own independent operating system, Natsuki Minamiya only needs to guard it, without having to do anything else.

This piqued his curiosity, making him want to analyze this Prison Barrier.

No, it's that I've already made up my mind to analyze it.
